Chapter 7: Cultivation Begins

The next day, before dawn, Ling Fan had already gotten up, and after listening to the old beggar's words, Ling Fan had hope for cultivation again. Thinking of the old beggar's method of gathering the aura yesterday, Ling Fan also began to learn it in a good way. It was not difficult for Ling Fan to feel the aura, and Ling Fan could also wrap objects with aura, if it was just to gather the aura like an old beggar, it should not be difficult to do.

However, when Ling Fan did it himself, he found that it was not as simple as he thought, the aura was indeed gathered, but the shape after gathering made Ling Fan unbearable to look at it directly, the old beggar gathered in the shape of a sleek ball of light, and what Ling Fan gathered could be described as strange.

There are no rules to the shape at all, it's just a lump of bumpy and concave things, if you have to say what it looks like, it should be like a cactus, even Ling Fan himself is heartbroken when he looks at it, let alone let him get such a mass of things into his body.

Anyway, let's try to compress and refine this aura. Thinking in his heart, Ling Fan tried to make the aura closer together, but no matter how hard he tried, the volume of this aura did not change, but the shape was constantly changing.

The top was pressed and concave by Ling Fan with great effort, but the bottom was convex, and the bottom was concave and the top was protruding. This...... Ling Fan felt so helpless, this was an aura ball, it was clearly dough, he had wasted so much effort, as if he had been kneading dough.

Alas, no wonder the old beggar would say that it was very difficult to compress and refine the aura outside the body. It seems that Ling Fan still has to consult the old beggar, a master.

Before dawn, Ling Fan still checked the small cloud of aura he had absorbed yesterday. Ling Fan closed his eyes, his consciousness wandering in his body, well, what's the matter, yesterday he obviously absorbed a ball of aura, but now there is no other aura at all except for the little aura left by the old beggar's aura entering his body before.

Yesterday, when he was absorbing this group of aura, Ling Fan had a feeling that his aura was being devoured, he originally thought that he was too careful, but now it seems that there is indeed something devouring the aura that Ling Fan has inhaled into his body.

Looking at the only bit of aura in his body, Ling Fan seemed to understand a little, the aura that the old beggar had delivered into his body last time was not a little bit of it, but in the end, there was only this point left, so only after Ling Fan absorbed a large amount of aura into his body and was swallowed up a part, then the rest could belong to Ling Fan.

Others absorb as much as they want, but Ling Fan absorbs the aura but it seems like he has to pay rent, not to mention the hard work, if he doesn't do enough work, then he will work in vain, and he will have to bear the pain, which makes Ling Fan a little angry. But even so, he still couldn't give up, Ling Fan knew that he could only work harder than others.

Unconsciously, it was dawn, Ling Fan simply ate something and went out, setting off directly in the direction of the town. I came to the big tree outside the town again.

This time Ling Fan was lucky, the old beggar was still resting on the big tree. Ling Fan looked at the old beggar and didn't dare to disturb, just sat under the tree and waited quietly, his eyes kept staring at the old beggar, for fear that he would run away.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was noon, the old beggar slept soundly on the tree, Ling Fan was a little uncomfortable, the hot sun made Ling Fan sweat profusely, although he could go to the shade of the tree to hide from the sun, but in that case, Ling Fan would not be able to see the old beggar on the tree, and Ling Fan would not be relieved if he could not see the old beggar Ling Fan was still at ease, and if the old beggar woke up and did not see Ling Fan leave, then Ling Fan would wait in vain.

"Ha ......" Finally, the old beggar stretched his waist, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Ling Fan staring at him directly under the tree. The old beggar smiled, in fact, he already knew that Ling Fan was under the tree, and he also knew what Ling Fan was doing when he came to him.

The old beggar got up and came down from the tree, "Boy, are you looking for me?" Ling Fan nodded.

"Didn't you bring delicious food today?" the old beggar asked, "Uh, this ......" Ling Fan scratched his head, he just thought about coming to consult the old beggar, but he forgot about it.

"I'm sorry, old man, but I was negligent in thinking about asking you questions. Ling Fan said to the old beggar, "Wait a minute, I'll go and help you make some delicious food now." He turned around and was about to leave.

"Haha, no need. The old beggar looked at Ling Fan, who was so honest, and smiled, "Boy, what are you looking for me?"

"That...... Old man, I haven't asked you for your name, and it doesn't seem polite to call you an old man. Ling Fan smirked.

"Old man Guyang. The old beggar said. "Then I'll call you Grandpa Gu. Ling Fan said with a smile, he deliberately narrowed the relationship with the old beggar.

"Hmm. The old beggar nodded in approval.

"Grandpa Gu, that ...... I want you to teach me the method of compressing and refining the aura in vitro, is that okay?" Ling Fan asked with some concern.

"Yes, yes, but it may be a little difficult, after all, the external compression and refining of the spiritual energy must at least be done by the spirit master, you are not even in the spirit control stage now, I'm afraid it will be useless to teach you." Gu Yang said solemnly.

Ling Fan thought that it would be very difficult, but he didn't think that it would be so difficult, what Gu Yang said made Ling Fan a little disappointed, but Ling Fan still didn't want to give up.

"Grandpa Gu, please advise. I can only gather the aura, but I can't compress it. As he spoke, Ling Fan stretched out his hand, and a strange-shaped aura slowly gathered.

Gu Yang was startled when he looked at Ling Fan's gathered aura, "Kid, you can actually gather aura." Gu Yang said in surprise.

"Grandpa Gu, is it strange to gather aura, don't all cultivators gather aura?" Ling Fan asked Gu Yang strangely.

"It's not strange to gather aura, it's just that it's the first time I've seen it outside my body without entering the spirit control stage. Gu Yang looked at Ling Fan as carefully as if he had discovered a treasure.

Ling Fan didn't know much about these things, he only knew that the imperial object had to reach the spirit control stage before, and he didn't think about gathering spiritual energy outside the body to reach the spirit control stage. In Ling Fan's opinion, gathering aura outside the body is only the ability to perceive aura, after all, anyone who has just entered the path of cultivation can absorb aura, that is, control the aura to flow into the body.

But what Ling Fan didn't know was that cultivators who had not entered the stage of the Imperial Spirit could indeed control the flow of spiritual energy into the body, but they could only limit it to letting the spiritual energy flow into the body, after all, the human body could become a furnace to accommodate the spiritual energy, and there was only one special case like Ling Fan who could control the spiritual energy outside the body to change the direction of flow at will without entering the body.

"Eh, Grandpa Gu, it's just that the aura I gathered is not the same as the one you gathered yesterday, and the shape is so strange. Ling Fan said embarrassedly.

"Boy, it's not easy for you to do this, the aura is not as simple as you think, you just simply gathered them together, and didn't let them be effectively sorted, that's why it's like this. Gu Yang explained.

Ling Fan scratched his head and seemed to understand a little, at this moment, a pheasant swished out of the grass next to him, Ling Fan reacted instinctively, raised his hand, snapped, and a stone flew towards the pheasant and knocked the pheasant to the ground. Ling Fan ran over to pick up the pheasant, only to see Gu Yang looking at him with wide eyes.

"Eh, Grandpa Gu, what's wrong?" Ling Fan didn't know what to say.

"Boy, you're ...... You can also get a got. Gu Yang said in surprise. "What's wrong? You know, the Imperial Artifact is a Soul Master-level skill. Gu Yang continued.

Ling Fan looked at Gu Yang and didn't know what to say, Gu Yang lowered his head as if he was thinking about something, and then said to Ling Fan, "Boy, if you want to learn the method of compressing and refining the aura in vitro, I can teach you." But whether you can learn it or not depends on your own efforts. ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Gu, my name is Ling Fan. Ling Fan also reported his name to Gu Yang.

"Well, okay, you can gather the aura first. Gu Yang commanded.

Ling Fan nodded, raised his hand and slowly gathered his aura. "Close your eyes, feel this aura carefully, feel the difference between them seriously, don't let go of any small differences, aura is a different individual, this aura is composed of many individuals. Gu Yang explained seriously.

Ling Fan closed his eyes, concentrated all his energy, and carefully felt the aura in his hand, relying on his innate super perception of aura, Ling Fan's entire consciousness approached the aura mass little by little, slowly infiltrating, and carefully examining the situation inside the aura mass. In the aura group, Ling Fan seemed to see many small stones of various shapes, including long, square, and pointed shapes.

"Do you feel it? Combine the different shapes of aura with each other and arrange them effectively. Gu Yang continued to teach.

Ling Fan listened to Gu Yang's words, and tried to combine the different shapes of aura, some concave and some convex, combining each other, and the originally different auras slowly combined with each other within the aura. The shape became more and more regular, and the entire aura mass began to slowly become smoother, although it was not as regular as the aura mass gathered by Gu Yang, but it was much better looking than Ling Fan's previous shape.

Huh, it's really tiring, it turns out that gathering the aura mass is so consuming, if it weren't for Ling Fan concentrating all his consciousness, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do it at all. Thinking of Gu Yang's simple gathering of such an aura group before, Ling Fan secretly admired it in his heart. Slowly opening his eyes, Ling Fan looked at the aura mass in his hand, although it had changed a little, the shape was still far from the same.

"Grandpa Gu, I tried my best. That's all it can be done now. Ling Fan said with some disappointment.

"That's good, it's good if you practice more on your own in the future and become more and more proficient. Although Gu Yang was not very sure of Ling Fan on his lips, he was very surprised in his heart. This kid has a strong perception of aura, he just simply told Ling Fan the principle, originally thought that it would take a lot of time for Ling Fan to do it, but Ling Fan did it all at once, even the many young people who Gu Yang had seen who were called geniuses were probably not as good as Ling Fan.

"Grandpa Gu, how can we compress and refine the aura mass?" Ling Fan asked Gu Yang.

"Boy, you haven't learned to walk yet, are you thinking about running? When you can gather a very smooth aura mass, then think about how to temper it. Gu Yang looked at Ling Fan and said angrily, this kid is too anxious.

"Oh. Ling Fan casually agreed, but in his heart he thought that it was so difficult to gather the spiritual qi mass, and it seemed that it would be even more difficult to refine, and he had no choice but to come step by step.

"Alright, that's all for today, and you'll come here for me tomorrow. Saying that, Gu Yang turned around and left.

Whew, Ling Fan let out a sigh of relief, no matter what, today's harvest is still very big, looking at the back of Gu Yang leaving, Ling Fan also turned around and left.
