When all the dust settled, Elder Han was completely dealt with, and his life was safe, Ye Fan calmed down, sat on the stone chair, and began to seriously think about where to go.
The knights of the Jiang family are chasing him. At this moment, he is not strong enough to compete with them. It is really inappropriate to show his face. The best choice right now is to hide and improve his cultivation.
There is no doubt that this cave house built in the middle of the mountain is a very good hiding place. Elder Han once said that there are many Dao patterns carved on the rocks, and outsiders can't perceive it at all, and can't find this place.
"Okay, I'll practice here."
After Ye Fan made a decision, he began to clean the stone room. First, he put Elder Han's body into the medicine cauldron, and put the lid on it.
"You have been refining medicine for a lifetime, and you can use the alchemy cauldron as a coffin, and live peacefully in your own cave."
This cave is extremely vast, like a labyrinth. Ye Fan carefully made some marks and moved forward, carrying the medicine tripod to the deepest part of the mountain, and then sealed it in a stone cave.
After returning to the stone room, Ye Fan continued to clean up. Several medicine cabinets were put back to their original places. He put the dozen or so rare elixir that he had on his body back into them, which is the most suitable place to store medicinal herbs.
In addition to the medicine cabinet, this spacious stone room also has more than a dozen bronze medicine tripods, several stone tables and several stone chairs. On a stone table, there are two ancient books, which are actually made of animal skins. They seem to be very old, at least hundreds of years old.
Obviously, Elder Han often flipped through it. The stone table and chair were rubbed very smooth. There was a book open, and there were some notes from Elder Han on it.
"Huh!"
Ye Fan showed a look of surprise. The ancient books that were opened were only a few animal skins. There were many strange patterns engraved on them, and there were almost no words. They looked like ghostly symbols and were unrecognizable. If Elder Han hadn't left some notes, it would have been difficult for Ye Fan to understand the meaning of those strange lines.
"It's... Dao Wen!" He was shocked, although it was only a few pages, it was a precious ancient book that recorded Dao Wen.
It is said that the "Tao pattern" is something that was "carved" by the ancient great masters who understood the nature of the world and gained something. Some of them have been handed down to the world and passed down.
In a sense, the "Tao pattern" is a copy of the perception of the ancient powerful people. The more powerful the monk, the more he likes to study the "Tao pattern" that has been handed down to the world.
Ye Fan took a closer look, and from the limited number of ancient characters, he learned that this is just an ordinary "Taowen" ancient book, marked with the word "basic".
However, an ordinary "Tao Wen" ancient book also made Elder Han very hard, writing a lot of annotations, and he couldn't understand many places.
"It seems that the Dao pattern is really broad and profound, and non-powerful monks can't study it, and even Elder Han can only hover at the threshold." Ye Fan thought for a moment that most of the Dao patterns outside the cave were carved by Elder Han based on this book.
"Although this book is incomprehensible, the things he marked must be carefully considered, otherwise it is very likely that you will not be able to get out of this cave."
Ye Fan opened another ancient animal skin book, which was also only a few pages. It was just a book, which recorded some ancient alchemy recipes, which would be of great benefit to monks after refining.
However, Ye Fan's knowledge of elixir is limited, even if the herbs mentioned in it are placed in front of his eyes, he may not be able to recognize them, let alone open a furnace to make alchemy.
It is clearly recorded in ancient animal skin books that if one finds a holy medicine that can regenerate a person, it can be refined into a strange treasure pill, which can not only increase the lifespan of monks, but also greatly improve their cultivation, which is of great benefit to monks of any realm. benefit.
"No wonder this old clapper insists on arresting me..."
Later, Ye Fan found a mountain spring in the cave and a lot of food stored by Elder Han, which immediately solved his worries, and he could practice here with peace of mind.
In the next few days, he carefully studied Elder Han's annotations on Daowen's ancient book, and finally saw some ways, and successfully walked out of the cave.
Since then, Ye Fan lived in seclusion, occasionally went out to pick some berries and wild vegetables, and spent most of his time practicing and comprehending Taoism.
Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Fan has taken all the elixir, and the golden sea of bitterness has been opened up to the size of half a fist. It is dazzling and full of vitality.
In the center of the sea of bitterness, the clouds are billowing like wolf smoke, rushing straight up, no longer diffuse and lingering, like an active volcano erupting!
Ye Fan's golden sea of bitterness is difficult to keep calm, and it is gushing out all the time, as if it is about to communicate with the wheel of life and release a divine spring.
Whenever he fell into the ethereal state, there would be waves in the sea of bitterness, and the faint sound of waves would come out of his body, and his whole body would be enveloped by a layer of divine light.
Moreover, some visions will even appear in the sea of bitterness. The most central part is constantly erupting, like a submarine volcano, and lightning will often cut through the sky.
After running the mysterious method recorded in the "Tao Jing", there will be powerful life fluctuations in his body immediately, and the golden sea of bitterness is as gorgeous as a round of sun. The energy flowed endlessly, his limbs and bones were nourished by it, and the flesh shell became extremely strong, much more tyrannical than before.
"It's really hard to break through the realm of Life Spring..." Ye Fan felt a little regretful, he had already hit the realm of Life Spring five times, but all of them failed.
Over the past year or so, he has earnestly studied the Taoist scriptures and continuously tempered his "tools". After repeated smelting, the "divine iron lump" has been repeatedly smelted and carved with tunnel patterns on the green copper. Some simple and natural taste.
After such a long time, Ye Fan believes that the knights of the Jiang family should have left long ago, and it is impossible to still pursue him persistently.
On this day, he left his cave and tried to control his divine power in the barren mountains. In the sea of suffering, the waves soared to the sky, and a blazing divine light rushed out of his body, surrounded him, and actually took him three feet above the ground and flew forward.
"thump!"
It's a pity that he fell to the ground after flying only thirty meters away.
"If you don't enter the realm of the fountain of life, it's impossible to fly for a long time. You need the source of divine power to flow in order to fly into the sky and escape from the ground."
Although he couldn't go high into the sky, this kind of short-distance flight still made Ye Fan feel very novel. With continuous practice, he found that he could fly more than a hundred meters away at most. It was much faster than he was running, and he could step on the grass and trees without touching the ground, like a breeze.
Ye Fan didn't want to leave this cave without reaching the realm of Life Spring. He felt that his strength was too low and it would be dangerous to go out and walk around. Moreover, the Huo Sha in the mountainside can also help him cultivate. Although that special spiritual energy is not so strong, it is better than a continuous stream.
"I should go to Ziyang Cave to find that source..." Although he felt that it was not suitable for a long journey, he still left here. His physique is too special, like a bottomless pit, which requires a lot of spiritual power In order to speed up the practice.
Ye Fan heard from the side of the road that the knights of the Jiang family had already left and would not pose a threat to him. Now Yandi is very peaceful.
When he came to the mountain range where Ziyang Cave Heaven was located, Ye Fan was extra cautious to avoid meeting people from this sect. Not long after, he came to a river, and plunged into it. After half a quarter of an hour, the water splashed, and Ye Fan floated up from the water, with a shiny "source" in his hand.
"Fortunately still here..."
At first, when he came here, he was still beating drums in his heart, for fear of being taken away by others.
In fact, this place is very secluded, unless the top experts of Ziyang Cave Heaven pass by here, otherwise it is impossible for other people to sense the breath of "Yuan".
Ye Fan didn't want to stay here for a long time, so he walked back along the original road.
"It's her..." Ye Fan stopped suddenly, he saw several young figures, one of them was Li Xiaoman.
Ye Fan didn't stop, and walked away quickly until he disappeared into the mountains.
Half a month later, in the cave opened by Elder Han, there was a rumbling sound, and then a huge tsunami resounded through the sky, and thunderstorms were deafening.
"boom!"
At this moment, a powerful breath erupted, and the whole cave was shaking. Ye Fan was full of energy, and the golden divine fire was burning blazingly outside his body.
The divine light in his eyes was shining brightly, like two bolts of lightning shooting out, which were extraordinarily bright in the cave.
Ye Fan stood up and stood up. At this moment, he had a more dignified aura. The breath released from the outside shook the whole building violently, and huge cracks appeared one after another.
"Finally burst into the realm of the fountain of life!"
He turned into a golden lightning and rushed out of the cave, and then a blazing rainbow covered him, and he slowly rose into the air.
At this moment, at the center of Ye Fan's sea of bitterness, a spring appeared, connecting with the wheel of life, and the divine spring was gurgling, surrounded by misty colorful mist.
