"You're too much of a killjoy, not saying anything when you see through it," the primordial old man glared. "But then again, your cultivation speed is too slow. It won't be easy to help me recover my true form, as the true form I need is no simple matter."
"Are you trying to be picky, you old man?" Lu Fan rolled his eyes. "It's good enough to have a true form!"
The primordial old man remained silent, looking disdainful. Ordinary true forms were beneath his notice.
As they were conversing, Lu Fan suddenly noticed that Long Yi and the others' auras were constantly rising, as if they had reached a bottleneck in their breakthrough, with the faint aura of a Grand Spirit Master.
It wasn't just Long Yi; Li Ziming and Chu Ting were also reaching a certain realm.
"Are they about to break through?"
Lu Fan's face lit up with surprise. This way, their Qingyun Sect would have a few more experts.
However, after a moment, the aura around them gradually disappeared, and they did not directly break through to Grand Spirit Master, as if they were still missing some key element.
"Half-step Grand Spirit Master!"
Long Yi muttered, his eyes filled with joy. He hadn't expected to break through so quickly, reaching the realm of Half-step Grand Spirit Master in the blink of an eye.
Chu Ting and Li Ziming also stood up, looking pleased. Only Han Feng sat cross-legged, without any movement.
"Could he be about to break through to Grand Spirit Master?" Chu Ting asked, slightly surprised.
She could clearly feel Han Feng's aura continuously climbing, with no sign of decreasing.
"He must be about to break through!" Long Yi exclaimed. "This Giant Spirit Pill is too miraculous, to have such an effect. No wonder it's so sought after."
"Naturally, how could the pills I refined be bad?"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, his expression becoming more indifferent. At that very moment, Han Feng suddenly leaped up, finally opening his eyes, his aura reaching its peak.
"Grand Spirit Master!"
Chu Ting rejoiced, "You've really become a Grand Spirit Master!"
Feeling the power surging through him, Han Feng nodded slightly. "I have indeed reached Grand Spirit Master, but this is all thanks to Brother Lu."
"You were already on the verge of breaking through; it has nothing to do with me," Lu Fan waved his hand. "Now that the Qingyun Sect has another Grand Spirit Master, it is truly worth celebrating."
"With this, we won't have to fear the Black Shark Gang!"
Chu Ting said with a faint smile, "Even if the leader of the Black Shark Gang comes in person, we will make them pay."
"Even so, you must remember, never offend anyone at any time!"
Lu Fan said, "After all, there are always people better than you. Especially in this Beihai Academy, with countless prodigies, we should be low-key. Once our strength grows, we will be fearless!"
Everyone nodded, quite agreeing with Lu Fan's words.
As night fell, Lu Fan also consumed a Spirit Gathering Pill and slowly condensed his spiritual energy. His aura gradually increased. After cultivating for more than half the night, he felt much more energetic, and his strength had also improved. Although there was no major breakthrough, if he were to fight against a Grand Spirit Stone, he would surely be able to defeat it with ease.
"Not bad, not bad. You'll reach the next realm soon!" the primordial old man nodded. "It's a pity that the place you live in is too dilapidated and the spiritual energy is too thin. If you could go to a better place, your cultivation would improve!"
"Those good places are occupied by senior students. If we go to snatch them with our current strength, wouldn't that be like throwing an egg against a rock!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, his expression becoming more indifferent.
With these words, the primordial old man chuckled. "Since we can't snatch them, let's use other methods. For example, setting up a spirit gathering formation in the courtyard. This way, there will be a continuous influx of spiritual energy."
"Spirit gathering formation?"
Lu Fan was puzzled. "Old man, what is this spirit gathering formation you're talking about? I have no idea."
"This is an ancient formation that can gather spiritual energy. Just like this Beihai Academy, it also uses a spirit gathering formation. However, the spirit gathering formation used by Beihai Academy is too simple and cannot precisely gather spiritual energy. But my spirit gathering formation is different; it has great uses," the primordial old man said proudly.
"Why didn't you say anything about having such a good thing earlier?" Lu Fan rolled his eyes. "Hurry up and teach me. Let me learn something too."
"Cough cough..."
The primordial old man coughed a few times before smiling faintly. "The profundity of formations is immense. With your current cultivation, you cannot control it, nor can you unleash the spirit gathering formation at all."
"Even if I can't unleash it, it doesn't mean you can't!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Now that things have come to this, do you still want to hide, old man!"
"That's not it!"
The primordial old man waved his hand. "Actually, I can complete the drawing of the spirit gathering formation by myself. However, if this spirit gathering formation is revealed and others know about it, you, kid, might be in trouble."
"Everyone in the courtyard is family. You don't need to worry about it," Lu Fan waved his hand. "Even if someone spreads it, it won't have any impact."
"You said it yourself!"
The primordial old man nodded slightly. "Then I will set up the spirit gathering formation around the courtyard. As for what happens next, it has nothing to do with me."
Lu Fan nodded slightly, quite satisfied. Now that his cultivation was gradually approaching the peak of Grand Spirit Master, if he could cultivate within the spirit gathering formation, he should be able to reach higher.
Not long after, the spirit gathering formation began to condense. Those cultivating in the courtyard could clearly feel their cultivation speed increasing. Most importantly, there was a slight coolness within the courtyard, which made them quite excited.
Feeling the spiritual energy surging towards him, Lu Fan was also astonished. He hadn't expected the spirit gathering formation to be so powerful, and the spiritual energy it condensed had no intervals.
The next morning, everyone woke up from their cultivation and walked out of their rooms, looking surprised and exchanging glances, not knowing what had happened.
"Why has the spiritual energy in the courtyard suddenly surged so much?" Chu Ting asked in surprise. "It's even more concentrated than in my Chu family's cultivation room."
"Could it be that Brother Lu did it?" Han Feng asked in surprise. "I heard that there is an ancient formation that can condense spiritual energy. I guess some formation has been set up in this courtyard, which is why there is such a surge of spiritual energy!"
As Han Feng spoke, Lu Fan also walked out, smiling. "What you said is indeed correct. This formation was set up by me. It's most suitable for everyone to cultivate from now on." Su Dan Novel Network
"You're truly amazing!" Li Ziming exclaimed. "You even understand ancient formations."
