: Inside the Hall of Transmission

Chapter 415: Inside the Hall of Transmission

The cave dwelling that Gu Fan was assigned was none other than Cuiyun Palace.

"I thought that you had been refining weapons at Cuiyun Palace before, so I took the liberty of choosing this place as your cave dwelling. If you are not satisfied, you can choose another one," Ye Lian said.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. This place is very suitable." Gu Fan bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Although Cuiyun Palace is located in a relatively remote area, it is rich in spiritual energy, which is not a disadvantage for him.

When you first arrive, it's not a bad thing to keep a low profile.

"I'm glad you're satisfied, fellow Daoist."

Ye Lian's eyebrows arched slightly, and she nodded gently: "It is expected that the Hua Xu Immortal Ship will return to Qingwei in about six months. At that time, we will go to war with the Demon Sect. Fellow Daoist, you should make good preparations."

Gu Fan nodded and said, "Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist."

He already had a plan in mind on how to prepare for the battle.

After Ye Lian left, Gu Fan did not immediately set up the Cuiyun Palace. Instead, he sat down cross-legged on the futon and took out the Summoning Immortal Token.

Before the Summoning Order was activated, he could only sense a vast aura within it. His divine sense would be repelled if he tried to probe into it, and even the restrictions could not be detected.

At this moment, immersing one's divine sense into it brings about a completely different experience.

Looking at the information, Gu Fan frowned and remained silent for a long time.

Open the spirit beast pouch and release Chang Yuan.

Gu Fan held the Summoning Immortal Token in his palm and said in a deep voice, "Senior, please take a look at this."

Chang Yuan took it with a hint of curiosity, examined it for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and sighed, "It's truly not easy to join a celestial sect."

O

The Summoning Immortal Token contains a wealth of information, the first of which is how to use it.

It is not only proof of Gu Fan's response to the call to arms, but also a magic weapon for recording merits. It can be used to record the results of battles with just divine sense, and then used to record merits after verification.

Secondly, the Summoning Immortal Token is also a tracking magic weapon.

Gu Fan left a divine imprint on the Summoning Immortal Token, which was simultaneously transmitted to the magical artifacts of the Luofu Immortal Sect. If he were to attempt to defect, he could be tracked through the divine imprint, and even destroying or discarding the Summoning Immortal Token would not prevent this.

Finally, there were the conditions for joining the Luofu Immortal Sect, which was also the reason why Gu Fan frowned.

To join the Luofu Immortal Sect, one needs 10,000 merit points.

The way to gain merit is to fight for the immortal sect and kill demonic cultivators.

Killing a Golden Core cultivator grants ten merit points, a Nascent Soul cultivator one hundred, a Deity Transformation cultivator one thousand, and a Void Refinement cultivator ten thousand. In other words, Gu Fan needs to kill one hundred Nascent Soul cultivators to join the Immortal Sect.

Even more stringent is that killing cultivators of lower realms does not count as merit.

This rule completely cut off his path to gaining merit as a Golden Core cultivator, leaving him with no choice but to fight Nascent Soul cultivators to the death.

Fortunately, there are no specific requirements for cultivators at the same major realm; both early-stage and late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators receive one hundred merit points.

Chang Yuan weighed the Summoning Immortal Token in his hand and teased, "Think positively, kid. If you cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, you'll only need to kill ten Nascent Soul cultivators, won't you?"

That's easy for you to say!

There are only four Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire Qingwei Realm, and less than a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators.

In other words, if Gu Fan can single-handedly pacify the Qingwei cultivation world, he will have accumulated enough merit.

Seeing the smile on Chang Yuan's lips, Gu Fan narrowed his eyes and said blankly, "Kill a Nascent Soul cultivator? I'd rather kill a Void Refinement cultivator. Especially one who's been ambushed, severely injured, imprisoned for thousands of years, and is extremely weak. I might actually be able to kill that one."

Chang Yuan laughed in anger, pointing a finger at Gu Fan and saying, "Go kill those hundred Nascent Soul cultivators yourself!"

The gourd jumped off Gu Fan's shoulder and shouted, "Me too!"

"Go play somewhere else!"

Chang Yuan lightly tapped his finger, and with a thud, the gourd was hit on the top.

"Ouch!" Hulu cried out in pain, gritting his teeth as he lunged at Chang Yuan, but Chang Yuan caught him by flipping his hand.

"Alright, senior, stop bullying the gourd."

Gu Fan pulled the gourd over, rubbed his head, and put a pill into his mouth.

"One hundred it is fine, I'm just worried there won't be enough demonic cultivators!"

After settling in, Gu Fan left Cuiyun Palace and headed straight for the Dharma Transmission Hall.

Daoist Cangqiu gave him one hundred merits, providing him with some start-up capital so he could examine the cultivation techniques and secret arts in the Transmission Hall, and most importantly, the star map of the Luofu Immortal Sect.

The void and the universe are vast and boundless, with countless realms and heavens.

The Yan family's activities were almost entirely confined to the lower realm of the Luofu Immortal Sect, making them relatively common. If they wanted a broader star map, only the Luofu Immortal Sect possessed it.

The Dharma Transmission Hall is built against the mountain, standing tall amidst the sacred trees. Reaching a height of several tens of feet, it extends deep into the mountainside and is a seven-story pavilion constructed entirely of lapis lazuli.

With a quick glance using the Myriad Manifestations Eye, one could see that the entire mountain peak was covered by an array. Once activated, it would use the earth's energy to drive the array and seal off the Transmission Hall.

"Halt!"

An elderly man with white hair and beard sat outside the hall. Upon seeing Gu Fan, he spoke up to stop him.

Sensing the old man's late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, Gu Fan cupped his hands and said, "I am Gu Fan, greetings, senior."

"Gu Fan?" The old man frowned, racking his brains for a moment, then asked solemnly, "Why haven't I seen you before?"

"I have only just entered the Immortal Sect today, having been summoned by the Immortal Decree."

As Gu Fan spoke, he took out the Summoning Immortal Token and the red jade ring.

Upon seeing the two objects, the old man raised an eyebrow, his expression somewhat strange. He took the Summoning Immortal Token into his hand, examined it for a moment, and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey! Summoning Immortal Tokens are quite rare, especially at this crucial juncture."

Fortunately, this was enough to prove Gu Fan's identity, so the old man returned the Summoning Token, stroking his beard and saying, "With your authority, you can only access the first level of cultivation techniques and secret arts... Wait! You only arrived today, how could you have any merit points to exchange for? Are you just making fun of this old man?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's expression turned hostile.

Gu Fan quickly explained, "I was fortunate enough to be granted one hundred merit points by Daoist Cangqiu, which allowed me to come and exchange them."

Upon hearing the name of Daoist Cangqiu, the old man's frosty expression melted away, and he nodded, saying, "I see. But one hundred merit points isn't much to exchange for."

"I'm just here to broaden my horizons," Gu Fan explained.

"In that case, come with me."

After the old man finished speaking, he led Gu Fan into the Dharma Transmission Hall.

Gu Fan seized the opportunity to ask, "May I ask your name, senior?"

"I am Bai Xiao," the old man said casually, leading Gu Fan to a screen wall.

Gu Fan looked around and found that the first floor of the Transmission Hall was extremely spacious and several feet high, but the hall was empty, with neither stone platforms nor jade slips, which was very different from the Luofu Immortal Sect he had seen in the Qionghua Realm.

However, the walls are carved with real spirits and mythical beasts, as well as strange trees and plants.

Only the central wall was empty, its white surface gleaming with a pale golden light.

Gu Fan stared intently at the mural and discovered two rare flowers in it: "Fleeting Beauty" and "Drunken Dream." He couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, senior, are these rare flowers on the list of rare flowers?"

Bai Xiao turned around in surprise: "I didn't expect you to have some knowledge."

"I've only been lucky enough to see two of them," Gu Fan replied modestly.

Bai Xiao's hand, which was reaching for the white jade disc, stopped abruptly. He turned to look at Gu Fan and asked in surprise, "You said... you've seen two kinds of rare flowers?"

Bai Xiao looked Gu Fan over again, frowning as he said, "There's nothing wrong with that. It's just that you're really lucky. I've cultivated for eight hundred years, and I've only ever seen one rare flower when I was young."

The rare flowers on the list of rare flowers have varying degrees of efficacy.

Of the two extraordinary beauties Gu Fan encountered, only Zui Sheng Meng Si (a woman's pen name) managed to manipulate them, and both were ranked relatively low.

There is only one very special point.

All these rare flowers are creations of nature, used by ancient cultivators to practice their Dao.

In other words, what influences the appearance of rare flowers is not the concentration of spiritual energy, but the mysterious way of creation that affects the operation of heaven and earth.

Gu Fan narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly upon hearing this.

"I've always been lucky."
