545: Chapter 545 The Appreciation of Venerable Ku Xuan, the Cultivation Technique!

In the blink of an eye,

ten days quietly passed.

In the outside world, the attention of the entire universe was still focused on that grand Realm Master Level gathering.

The citizens of the universe watched with great excitement, their blood boiling.

Little did they know,

that Li Fan, who had recently stirred them up in the same way, was currently undergoing an "inhuman" experience.

...

"Only fainted six times in ten days! Truly worthy of someone who broke through the Extreme Realm of Strength. This physical aptitude is indeed incredibly heaven-defying!"

"That kid last time fainted over a hundred times in ten days, yet he still became an Immortal and is about to reach the Venerable level. Truly unreasonable."

On the meditation cushion,

Venerable Ku Xuan looked at Li Fan, who had once again passed out from the pain in the Kun Ling Pool, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

A trace of admiration could be seen in his eyes, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

Then,

with a flick of his primordial energy,

he immediately roused Li Fan back to consciousness.

"Focus, keep listening. I was just talking about..."

Hearing Venerable Ku Xuan's voice,

Li Fan felt somewhat dazed.

Did he know how he had spent these ten days?!

Although he could clearly feel the changes in his body after these ten days, the pain was absolutely real!

Moreover, every time he woke up after passing out from the pain, the sensation was unprecedentedly intense the moment he regained consciousness.

He even began to suspect that Venerable Ku Xuan had secretly added a few more drops of kunpeng blood while he was out, increasing the concentration!

As for the teachings,

to be honest, what Venerable Ku Xuan was explaining was actually quite excellent and very beneficial to him.

But the only drawback was that he couldn't resist the excruciating pain and couldn't fully immerse himself in it.

For certain insights, he often felt them on the verge of breakthrough, only to have them forcefully suppressed and held back.

"Still too weak!"

Li Fan couldn't help but lament inwardly.

Ultimately, it was because his physical body was still too weak.

If he could endure the pain, he would most likely enter a state of enlightenment under Venerable Ku Xuan's guidance.

However, even though Li Fan was aware of this problem, there seemed to be nothing he could do about it except to endure slowly.

Another blink,

and five more days passed.

Li Fan passed out once again.

"This time it took five whole days to faint. Seems the progress is significant!"

"But in that case, the concentration needs to be increased. Otherwise, the effect will probably be greatly diminished."

Looking at Li Fan in the pool, Venerable Ku Xuan couldn't help but speak calmly, the smile on his face growing even wider.

Immediately after,

Venerable Ku Xuan raised his large hand, a jade vial appearing in his palm.

He tilted the vial, and a drop of kunpeng essence blood, shimmering with a terrifying crimson-gold light, fell into the Kun Ling Pool.

Afterwards,

he once again roused Li Fan.

The moment Li Fan woke up, he let out a sky-shattering cry of pain.

"Ah!!"

It was visible how much pain Li Fan was in—veins bulging, his face flushed red.

Seeing Li Fan like this, Venerable Ku Xuan couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Did I perhaps add a bit too much?"

However, this concern was quickly cast aside.

Because even if he had added too much, it would only bring benefits, not harm.

As for Li Fan,

he had already forcibly suppressed the agony, entered a meditative state again, and quietly began listening to Venerable Ku Xuan's teachings.

The pain after waking up this time far surpassed all the previous pains.

If it continued like this,

he really wouldn't need to keep listening anymore.

Because he simply couldn't listen!

Just as Li Fan was about to give up on listening to the teachings and prepare to fully focus on enduring the physical tempering,

Ming Yan's voice rang out in his mind.

"Whoa! Good heavens! Where did you get this kunpeng blood for body tempering?!"

Ming Yan was clearly startled by the Kun Ling Pool.

And soon, he noticed Venerable Ku Xuan on the shore.

"Oh, I see how it is. Kid, your fortune isn't shallow!"

Hearing Ming Yan's voice,

Li Fan felt both like laughing and crying inside.

The fortune was indeed not shallow.

It was just a bit too painful.

"Senior Ming Yan, do you have any pain-relief secret techniques or the like? I'm having a hard time holding on."

At this moment, Li Fan couldn't help but ask Ming Yan.

Ming Yan's origins were mysterious; he always managed to pull out things that surprised Li Fan.

This time, Li Fan wanted to ask if he had anything for pain relief.

Hearing this question, Ming Yan let out a strange cry.

"What? Pain? Shouldn't you feel *great* while tempering your body in this kunpeng true blood?"

These words left Li Fan utterly dumbfounded.

Great?

Are you sure?

Very quickly, Ming Yan discovered the problem.

"Wait, this old guy is just making you tough it out raw? Didn't he teach you the Kun Peng Heart Technique?"

Hearing this, Li Fan's heart tightened immediately. "The Kun Peng Heart Technique?"

Ming Yan nodded and explained:

"That's right. For supreme body tempering materials like kunpeng true blood, the ancients deduced the most effective method for absorbing its benefits—that's the Kun Peng Heart Technique.

As long as you circulate this heart technique, the one tempering their body won't feel the slightest bit of pain, and it also maximizes the tempering effect.

You feeling pain clearly means you're not circulating this heart technique. While this method still has considerable tempering effects, it's far too wasteful."

Hearing this,

Li Fan was incredibly excited inside.

He needed this Kun Peng Heart Technique far too much!

"This old guy not having you circulate the technique most likely means he doesn't even know such a heart technique exists in the world.

No wonder, really. With the kunpengs almost extinct, how could such an ancient heart technique still be passed down?" Ming Yan continued, his tone full of Feeling.

As for Ming Yan's Feeling,

Li Fan paid it no mind at all.

He couldn't care less now whether Venerable Ku Xuan was deliberately withholding the heart technique or simply didn't know about it.

He needed this heart technique too badly right now!

"Senior Ming Yan, stop talking for now. Can you pass this heart technique to me? I can't hold on much longer!"

"You got it!"
