Chapter 355: Lost Jiaxu
In the Jiaxu stronghold, Li Fan looked at the list of gold medalists projected in the Tianxuan small mirror.
"This Guo Ye Zhong is a wonderful person. If there is no special reason, then he is openly playing slacking off under the spotlight. This is simply a slap in the face of the Ten Thousand Immortals League."
Recalling the Guo Ye Zhong he met during the training camp, he looked completely ordinary.
"If this person still has zero points at the end of the competition, I will respect him as a man."
Suddenly, the sound of resentment murmured again in his ears. After more than a year of tempering, Li Fan has long been accustomed to this.
He lit a glass lamp in the room without changing his expression, and the strange black flame lit up, and the strange sound from the abyss disappeared in an instant.
"This [Silence Glass Lamp] is very useful." Enjoying the rare silence again, Li Fan couldn't help but praise.
The Silent Glass Lamp is a new type of silencer sent by the Martial Arts Hall two months ago.
From the Western Misty State.
After lighting the Silence Guide Rope in the lamp, a black flame will burst out, turning all the surrounding sounds into nothingness.
It is easy to use and has excellent effects.
And unlike other exotic treasures, there is a risk of mutation after absorbing too much magic sound.
This glass lamp will not be affected at all before it burns out. It can be extinguished when not in use to extend its service life.
Among all the silencer treasures, this Silence Glass Lamp is the most outstanding.
Unfortunately, it is said that the key component [Silence Guide Rope] requires special craftsmanship, has a long production cycle, and is extremely precious.
Therefore, only Li Fan, Xue Mu and other formation masters will carry it with them.
The Qingxuan Army will only take it out to deal with difficulties in times of crisis.
However, Li Fan ignited the Silence Glass Lamp at this moment, but it was not a waste of money.
Since the sudden outbreak of the magic sound tide that shook the abyss fifteen days ago, this Jiaxu stronghold has lost contact with other strongholds and the Eternal Immortal Fortress.
Communication talismans, spell transmissions, and even the Tianxuan mirror cannot connect to the outside world.
In fact, the list that Li Fan just looked at out of boredom was just the data frozen before the outbreak of the tide.
According to Leng Yingyi, the old Qingxuan soldier and Yuanying cultivator who was guarding him, the power of this tide is so strong that it only occurs once in a hundred years.
According to Leng Yingyi's experience, the duration of the Demonic Sound Tide is almost proportional to its power.
The sudden outbreak of the tide was beyond everyone's expectations.
The supplies in the stronghold, including the [Black Death Talisman] that maintains survival in the Yuan Devouring White Mist, are running out of reserves and need to be replenished in time.
So, Leng Yingyi, who was responsible for his duties, led three men and risked their lives to return to the Eternal Immortal Fortress to seek supplies during the empty period after the outbreak of the Demonic Sound Tide.
However, they have not returned yet.
Although Li Fan was a little puzzled, why did he happen to encounter the tide that rarely occurs in a hundred years.
However, according to the current situation, the stronghold is still safe, so there is no need to panic.
Under the dual influence of the tide and the white fog, not only the communication, but also the spiritual energy became disordered.
The mind could not concentrate. If the exercise was forced, the spiritual energy would flow irregularly in the body, and the blood would be damaged.
Unable to practice, this made the always diligent Li Fan idle.
He also tried to start the ceremony to enter the Meteorite Fairyland.
But in this white fog, the connection with the Meteorite Fairyland was too weak.
He failed to enter successfully several times, but made Li Fan's soul shake and dizzy.
So he had to give up.
The only way to pass the time was to chat with other cultivators in the base.
However, as time passed, the supplies in the base became less and less, and Leng Yingyi still had no sign of returning.
Everyone became a little depressed, and the chat gradually became less.
The black fire flickered and kept jumping.
It also reflected Li Fan's face a little gloomy.
"Could it be that this world ends here?"
After staying here for a long time, this thought would occasionally pop up in his mind.
Take a deep breath, and habitually practice the Xuanhuang Refining Heart Mantra to suppress distracting thoughts.
There is nothing else to do, so after thinking about it, Li Fan simply puts all his mind into practicing the Refining Heart Mantra.
Since he has achieved success in cultivation, although practicing the Xuanhuang Refining Heart Mantra has become an instinct like breathing for him.
But after all, there is still a difference between practicing with full body and mind and practicing slowly by instinct.
This is also the first time in a long time that Li Fan has seriously practiced the Refining Heart Mantra again.
When he was still a mortal, the Qingxin Mantra was his hope to break the gap between immortals and mortals.
So he could forget about food and sleep and persist in practicing hard for several years.
But when he broke through to the Qi Refining Stage, the Qingxin Mantra was transformed into the Refining Heart Mantra.
Its function became vague.
It cannot improve the cultivation in the slightest, and its apparent function is only to suppress and crush distracting thoughts in the heart.
This is almost useless in the current world of cultivation where cultivation does not value the mind.
In addition, Li Fan's mind is extremely strong and he will hardly be troubled by demons.
Therefore, for Li Fan, the effect of the Heart Refining Mantra is even more negligible.
If it weren't for the intuition in his heart and the ranking of the first skill on the panel, it would indirectly show the value of the Heart Refining Mantra.
Maybe Li Fan had given up on it long ago.
After all, no matter how powerful the Dragon Slaying Technique is, if there are no dragons in the world, it is just a useless skill and not worth wasting time.
However, at this moment, when Li Fan once again put everything aside and immersed himself in refining his mind, he gradually realized something.
"Refining the mind, refining the mind."
"I already know how to refine it."
"But I have no idea what it should be like and what the ultimate goal is."
"Perhaps this is also the reason why my progress in practicing the Heart Refining Mantra has been hesitant and incomplete for so many years."
"What is it for?"
...
This question may be too profound.
Li Fan, who thought he had a good understanding, was also stuck in a dilemma for a while.
Time passed slowly in this process.
The effect of working behind closed doors is limited.
On the 36th day after the outbreak of the Demonic Sound Tide, Li Fan, who had been unable to figure out the answer, simply stopped practicing temporarily.
He just walked slowly in the base, listening, observing, feeling, and thinking.
Compared with more than ten days ago, the Jiaxu Base has quietly undergone some changes in a short period of time.
Closed environment, unknown future, and the Demonic Sound Tide that comes from time to time.
The increasingly depleted survival supplies.
While the cultivators in the base were living a miserable life, an inexplicable emotion began to grow in their hearts.
Although it was not the end of the road yet, Li Fan, who was insightful, noticed it at the first time.
"Except for me, there are three Yuanying and six Jindan."
"I am the weakest, but if I play the pig and eat the tiger, and reap the benefits of the fisherman, it should not be a problem to survive to the end."
This was the first thought that came to Li Fan's mind.
