Chapter 414: Fulfilling Tianyang's Wish

After swallowing the medicine, Li Fan felt a little more energetic.

Using the efficacy of the medicine as a seesaw, he stimulated a trace of hidden power in his body.

"Puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, which scared his master Guangyangzi.

"The Creation Furnace" has already started to work.

Guangyangzi hurriedly went to prepare medicinal materials for Li Fan.

Li Fan took this opportunity to carefully check his physical condition.

While recalling the relevant case records in the "Heavenly Doctor Immortal Sutra", he thought about how to deal with it.

His body was too weak, and he felt dizzy after just a moment.

So he could only empty his mind and rest quietly.

After accumulating a little more strength, he continued to think.

This repeated.

Three days later, Li Fan combined the "Heavenly Doctor Immortal Sutra" and improved the prescription he had taken during the second [Simulation] process.

After a lot of talk, he finally succeeded in persuading Guangyangzi to change the medicine.

The new prescription is very effective.

In addition, the "Creation Furnace Skill" continuously improved his physical condition.

After two months, Li Fan could barely walk on the ground.

"Junior brother, you are really amazing! I didn't expect the prescription to be really effective! How did you know?" Second Senior Brother Ling Xiao asked while supporting Li Fan.

"It just appeared in my mind!" Li Fan said with wide eyes and full of innocence.

"Junior brother is extraordinary! Maybe he is the hope of our [Shenhua Dao] revival!" Third Senior Brother Lian Chang couldn't help but admire.

Li Fan laughed foolishly.

"The first step is considered a success."

"The next key is to become stronger than Senior Brother Si Xing within six years before the arrival of the Immortal Conquest Order."

"Go to the war instead of him to avoid seeing the tragic scene of the people of the Shenhua Dao passing away one by one."

"This is the obsession of Tianyang Zhenren."

Li Fan thought to himself.

"Big Brother Si Xing has reached the Golden Core stage. If you want to surpass him within six years, practicing step by step is nothing but a foolish dream."

"We have to find another way."

Li Fan's eyes flickered.

One day, he found his master Guangyangzi in private.

"Transform yourself?" Guangyangzi's face changed drastically when he faced his little disciple's question.

"Where did you hear that? Did Ling Xiao, that little bastard, gossip again?" Guangyangzi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, cursing.

"Master, I thought of it myself." Li Fan said seriously.

"The mysterious part of the [body-transformation-to-other-free] technique that we practice is that it can be borrowed from external objects."

"But I suddenly thought, what are external objects?"

"The sword of the eldest brother, the pen of the second brother, and the clock of the third brother, these are all external objects."

"Then can my weak body be regarded as an external object?"

"Through the continuous tempering of the technique, the [incarnation] of the brothers is getting stronger and stronger. If I can regard my body as an [incarnation], doesn't it mean that I can change my own physique?"

"I will never be as weak as I am now."

Li Fan said word by word.

Guangyangzi's face was also constantly changing.

After a long time, he sighed.

"Tianyang, you are a genius! You have such knowledge at such a young age, really..."

Guangyangzi stroked Tianyang's head and said with some satisfaction: "With such a disciple, I will be very happy!"

"Yes, practicing the [Body Transformed into Others] technique can indeed achieve [Body Transformed into Self]."

Guangyangzi's face suddenly became serious, looking at Li Fan, and said solemnly: "But, disciple, you must not try it."

Li Fan looked up at his master, his little face full of confusion: "Why, Master?"

Guangyangzi looked a little dazed, stunned for a moment, and then explained to Li Fan: "Body Transformed into Others, the most important thing is [Unity of Object and Self]."

"Body Transformed into Self, theoretically feasible. It is also the most perfect choice in the technique."

"But..."

Guangyangzi sighed.

"Too difficult! Too difficult!"

"Compared to ordinary objects, how complicated is the human body?"

"Objects can pursue compatibility with themselves through continuous attempts. If there are mistakes in the practice process, only the incarnation will be damaged."

"And to transform oneself, one must always use one's own body as a test field."

"If there is a slight mistake, one will be seriously injured."

"The loss of the body is still secondary. The most terrible thing is the damage to the spirit."

A trace of sadness flashed in Guangyangzi's eyes: "Once, I had a brilliant senior brother. His talent is so high that I have never seen anyone better in my life."

"At that time, he was recognized as the 'first person in the body transformation path in a thousand years' in the sect, and was highly expected by the master."

"But he was arrogant and believed that he would be able to practice [body transformation] successfully."

"Ignoring everyone's dissuasion, he forced himself to practice."

"The result..."

Guangyangzi paused.

"At first he was just a little crazy, and everyone wanted to heal him."

"But later, his madness became more serious. He couldn't tell reality from fantasy."

"One night, he went on a killing spree."

"Countless people died."

"From then on, our body transformation was in tatters..."

At this point, Guangyangzi shook his head slightly.

"So, my good disciple, remember this. Don't try it!" Guangyangzi warned very seriously.

Li Fan nodded heavily: "Yes! Got it, Master!"

After bidding farewell to Guangyangzi, Li Fan returned to his room.

After thinking for a long time, Li Fan gave up the plan of forcibly cultivating himself.

Just like [Building the Foundation with Me], this incarnation of oneself is indeed not something that ordinary people can do.

Judging from the subsequent situation of Master Tianyang, he did not choose this path.

"puppet……"

Thinking back to the god-turned-puppet a few years later, Li Fan gradually had an idea in his mind.

The next day, Li Fan found several senior brothers and told them that he wanted a puppet.

"Don't worry, little junior brother. I'll take care of it! Recently, my thoughts have been gushing, my writing has been flourishing, and I have written several books in a row. This can be called the pinnacle of my career!" Second Senior Brother Ling promised, patting his chest. "I'll take it to the market and sell it right away, and I'll choose the most handsome puppet for you!"

…

A few days later, Li Fan got his wish and got a machine puppet.

Ling smiled with a smile on his face: "Junior brother, this puppet is said to have the power of a golden elixir. I also spent a lot of effort to buy it from someone else!"

"Senior brother, you are so awesome! Thank you, senior brother!" After Li Fan praised, he picked up the puppet and ran away without a trace.

"Junior brother's health is getting better and better!" Ling Xiao sighed.

In the secret room.

Li Fan placed the puppet in front of him and cut a wound in his hand.

Drop blood on it.

At the same time, he started the "Incarnation of Himself" technique, and while practicing, he felt the slightest changes taking place on the puppet's body.

Li Fan gave up his plan to incarnate himself.

But he didn’t give up completely.

His plan can actually be seen as the incarnation of self under certain special circumstances.

Even more extreme.

That is to abandon this physical body and completely turn yourself into a puppet.

Just like what the real Tianyang people in history did.

But later Tianyang chose to absorb the earth fire to temper and improve the puppet.

But Li Fan's answer is to become himself again after becoming a puppet.

There is no doubt that this is a self-destructive approach.

The gap between the golden elixir puppet and the upper limit of the human body cannot be calculated based on speculation.

But for Li Fan who wants to urgently improve his combat power, it is the best choice.

Using the puppet body to practice [Incarnate Self], the difficulty drops drastically.

First, the sophistication of the puppet is much lower than that of the human body, making it easier to achieve "the unity of things and myself".

Second, there is no need to worry about getting hurt at all.

Repairing the puppet is much easier as long as there are enough materials.

And after the puppet's "self-incarnation" practice is completed, the combat power that can be unleashed in the state of unity between things and self is several times stronger than simply using the puppet as an "incarnation object".

"The first thing to do is to give up the body and merge into the puppet."

Li Fan ran the method in "Incarnate Himself at ease" with great success.

"It should be because Tianyang's body was born prematurely, and his soul and body are not in harmony." Li Fan said thoughtfully.

In this way, Li Fan started his own training plan without telling the others in the Incarnation Dao.

This plan was so bizarre that not even Guangyangzi noticed the changes that had taken place in his little apprentice.

I just feel that he really likes the puppet Lingxiao bought for him, almost to the point where he never leaves him.

Just like that, time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, six years have passed.

The Zhaxian bell rings, and the order to conquer the immortals arrives.

The three brothers who were transformed into Taoists started to quarrel over who should apply.

At this moment, Li Fan suddenly appeared in front of them together with his puppet.

"Senior Brother Si Xing, Senior Brother Lingxiao, and Senior Brother Lian Chang."

"I think it's better for me to go."

Lingxiao and the others looked at Li Fan with a serious face and were stunned.

"Junior brother, what are you talking about? This is no joke..." Ling Xiao said, then suddenly froze.

Because the words just now were said by the puppet following Li Fan.

"Bang! Bang!"

The puppet stepped forward and came to the three people.

"If you go to join the war, you will escape death. If you want to go, naturally you have to go with the strongest one among us!"

"Brother, what do you think?"

Li Fan looked at Si Xing and the others and asked softly.

"Tianyang! You! What a joke!" Guangyangzi was the first to see clearly the changes that had taken place in Li Fan.

His face turned pale, and he wanted to step forward, but he thought of something and stopped.

Just the slight trembling of his hands showed that he was extremely uneasy in his heart.

"You had expected this day?"

Guangyangzi asked in a whisper.

Li Fan smiled but didn't answer.

Looking at several senior brothers: "Please give me some advice, senior brothers!"

The three senior brothers also gradually came to their senses.

Looking at the little junior brother's body that had transformed into a puppet, his eyes were filled with regret and sadness.

For a moment, they stayed in place, not knowing what to say.

It was the senior brother who made the first move.

He called out his sword, which was as thin as a cicada's wing and dripping green, and pointed at Li Fan from a distance.

"Junior brother, actually, just leave this kind of thing to me."

"How can there be any reason for senior brother to let junior brother die?!"

Li Fan's figure flickered, waving his fist, and came to the senior brother's side.

"Senior brother, don't underestimate me!"

Feeling the huge force coming from him, Si Xing's expression changed a little.

The long sword flew, trying to stop Li Fan.

But the sword that was indestructible in the past could not leave even a trace when it struck Li Fan.

The body of this puppet is not only extremely hard.

The speed is also a bit faster than ordinary Jindan monks.

Between the opening and closing of the moves, various strange-shaped mechanisms will be shot out from different corners of the body.

For a moment, Si Xing had no choice but to dodge in embarrassment.

"Junior Brother Tianyang, it seems that you have really wasted a lot of hard work. However, since this is the case, I can't let you go on my behalf!"

"Be careful!"

Si Xing raised his brows, and his figure turned into a stream of light, becoming one with the green sword.

"Zheng!"

The long sword trembled slightly and made a crisp sound.

Then the sword body spread out in the front and rear directions like flowing water.

"Jianshui Tianxin!"

The senior brother's soft shout sounded from the sword.

The sword light like water came in an instant.

After hitting Li Fan's puppet body, it was not blocked and dissipated like before.

Instead, it is like light, turning back.

It flowed in the air for a moment, then changed its direction in an instant, attacking Li Fan again from the other side.

Still bounced back by Li Fan's hard body.

After crossing the arc, the moment comes again.

The flowing sword light was getting faster and faster, and it looked like a giant water-shaped net slowly wrapping the heavy puppet in the center.

At this moment, it is just a puppet body, and most of its magical powers cannot be used.

Under Si Xing's continuous offensive, Li Fan gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"The ancient monks should not be underestimated."

Li Fan thought so and his expression became solemn.

The puppet roared to the sky, and its body glowed with dark red light.

It changes during the vibration, and in an instant, the human body disappears.

Instead, there was a huge palm.

Flexibly bypassing the sword light blockade composed of Jianshui Tianxin, the giant palm came to the top of the water network.

Expand again.

The shadow range completely enveloped the water sword, and then pressed down on the head.

But he used the [Heaven-shaking Palm] that he understood.

Used by the huge body of the puppet, it has the charm of suppressing everything.

"What a magical power!"

Senior Brother Si Xing shouted excitedly.

"I also have a technique, please teach me, junior brother!"

"God's will is like water, and God is invisible!"

"Sword name: Tianxing!"

The flowing water sword under Fan Tian's palm disappeared instantly.

Li Fan felt an inexplicable crisis.

"Uh-huh!"

Invisible sword light flashed.

Before the giant palm could press down, there was a thin mark on the back of the hand.

Li Fan stared at this space.

But no trace of Si Xing could be found.

Another sword mark appeared.

Li Fan mobilized his spiritual power to try to repair his injuries.

However, he discovered that there seemed to be invisible sword energy attached to the sword mark, which restricted the recovery of the wound.

The sword marks appear faster and faster.

In an instant, Li Fan's body became scarred.

"Junior brother, surrender!"

Si Xing's voice came from all directions.

He himself was always missing.

"Senior brother is also good at magical powers!"

Li Fan admired sincerely.

"but……"

Li Fan suddenly raised his voice.

"I have one more move. If you, senior brother, can block it, I will give in immediately!"

"Okay! I'll wait and see!" Si Xing responded.

Li Fan calmed down his momentum.

After a while, he said to his second senior brother Lingxiao: "Senior brother Lingxiao, please lend me your pen!"

"Ah?" Lingxiao was stunned for a moment.

"Oh, okay!" Then an ink pen flew over and was held by Li Fan.

Pouring his spiritual power, Li Fan swung it in the air.

That is……

A [garbled] word.

The moment the random words came, terrifying cracks suddenly appeared on Li Fan's body.

Unable to maintain the form of the giant hand, it turned into a humanoid puppet again and fell to the ground.

"This kind of consumption..."

Li Fan was a little shocked.

The hard body made of special stone is disintegrating.

There were many places that exploded directly.

This is the magical power that Li Fan realized after studying the [Chaotic Stone] in the Mysterious Realm. The power was far beyond Li Fan's expectation.

The caster even suffered such terrible side effects.

Not to mention the senior brother Si Xing who faced the word "chaotic".

Tian Xing's state receded, and he showed his embarrassed figure.

But in front of the nonsense words, I couldn't move.

The spiritual energy running through his body was so violent that he couldn't control it.

The green sword, as an incarnation, was scurrying around like a headless fly.

"puff!"

Si Xing's arm was strangely broken in the opposite direction, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.

Because he sensed that this change was about to happen all over his body.

"enough!"

At this critical moment, Guang Yangzi finally took action.

His incarnation is a willow tree.

Green willow stood in front of Si Xing, and its branches flew wildly.

After a long time, everything slowly calmed down.

The willow tree disappeared, and Guangyangzi's palms behind his back trembled slightly.

Si Xing looked at Li Fan who collapsed on the ground with complicated eyes and was also seriously injured.

"You won, junior brother." He said softly.

Li Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tianyang, what you just said..." Guangyangzi looked at his little apprentice and hesitated to speak.

After a moment, he sighed and gave up questioning.

"That's all. I see that you have a big secret."

"However, it is a blessing for our poor little sect that you can condescend to our body transformation."

Guangyangzi was bored and waved his hand and left.

Si Xing didn't know what to say for a while.

Only the second senior brother Ling Xiao shouted and hurriedly healed Li Fan's injuries.

...

As long as the materials are sufficient, it is easy to repair the serious injuries of the puppet body.

Ling Xiao went to the market again, and Li Fan recovered soon after returning.

With the watchful eyes of Master Guangyangzi and three senior brothers, Li Fan and the envoy who came to urge him left the body transformation together.

Stepped onto the battlefield.

The surrounding scenery suddenly stopped.

Then it exploded like broken glass.

It turned into dots of light and poured into Li Fan's mind.

Thousands of years ago, the memory of Tianyang Zhenren emerged clearly.

Including the [Transformation into Others] technique, the method of refining puppets, and even the [Earth Fire Ascension Formation] that uses earth fire to refine and upgrade the puppet level, etc., all of these are like personal experience, remembered in mind.

But Li Fan didn't have time to check these at the moment.

Because his mind was completely attracted by the prompts from [Huanzhen].

"Although dead, the true spirit is immortal."

"Transform the body into things and cross the ages."

"The [Incarnation] function has been unlocked."
