Chapter 732: Chapter 732

This concern mentioned by Mr. Fan is also Yang Fan’s biggest worry.

If that ghost creature really doesn’t fear sunlight, wouldn’t that be a complete disaster?

"Old man, trees naturally aren’t afraid of sunlight, are they?" Yang Fan had a sudden thought and asked.

Mr. Fan glanced at Yang Fan as if he were an idiot, "Do you think this tree is a normal tree? During the day, it indeed doesn’t look any different from other trees under the sun, but its soul isn’t on the surface."

"But wouldn’t it be impossible for this thing to hide itself deeply from the very beginning?" Yang Fan was still somewhat puzzled.

Mr. Fan said, "It indeed can’t be that upon just gaining spiritual wisdom, it hides deeply, avoiding all sunlight. Everything has a transformation process, just like people are divided into good and evil. When you’re born, no one knows if you’re a bastard, right?"

Yang Fan’s face suddenly turned dark.

If he could beat him, and if hitting his master wasn’t considered rebellious, he would definitely defend his reputation.

How did he become a bastard?

Mr. Fan chuckled and ignored Yang Fan’s reaction, continuing, "In fact, plant spirits are inherently fond of sunlight, which is a common trait. But locust trees belong to the yin-type, so it can choose to go towards sunlight or the yin object direction."

"However, becoming a yin object doesn’t mean it’s evil; it’s simply another choice after it gains spiritual wisdom, which has nothing to do with its inherent nature. Swallowing Moon Essence and proceeding towards a yin object’s path doesn’t mean it’s necessarily bad."

"It seems these things aren’t much different from humans," Yang Fan said.

Mr. Fan nodded, "After gaining spiritual wisdom, plant spirits are not much different from humans, except that most plant spirits have low intelligence, lacking the complex emotions and IQ of humans."

"Like the one outside, it’s basically no different from a human and is even more emotionally detached than humans."

Yang Fan suddenly thought about some of the things he had encountered since entering this field and said self-deprecatingly, "Old man, the Law of Attraction you mentioned, doesn’t it seem somehow off with me? Normally, someone like me, who is just starting and hasn’t learned much, shouldn’t be dealing with weak, average monsters?"

"I just thought about it; how come all the ones I’ve encountered are of this terrifying level? It doesn’t make sense."

Mr. Fan glanced at Yang Fan, "You’re just amazing then!"

"Old man, you’re just being unhelpful; I’m genuinely asking," Yang Fan said.

Mr. Fan scoffed and said indifferently, "I’m also being serious."

Yang Fan:...

This day can’t allow for a proper chat.

Mr. Fan turned serious and said in a deep voice, "Actually, this does have a direct connection with your abilities, but it’s a kind of cause-and-effect relationship that’s hard to articulate. Of course, it might also just be a coincidence. The Law of Attraction is a modern concept by these cultivation enthusiasts; such things didn’t exist in the past. It’s not an overgeneralization, so don’t focus too much on it."

"I can’t speak for other aspects, but when it comes to cultivation or Traditional Chinese Medicine, modern people’s understanding is thousands of miles away from the ancients’. You need to scrutinize ancient texts carefully, but knowing such modern concepts broadly is enough. They’re completely ineffectual."

"...Okay." Yang Fan nodded thoughtfully.

The name Law of Attraction sounds modern; who in the past would use such a name?

"Continue cultivating; this ghost thing can’t get in," Mr. Fan withdrew his gaze from the entrance and said to Yang Fan.

The old locust tree’s dense branches and leaves blocked the entrance, sealing it completely like a lid.

It tried eagerly for quite some time yet ultimately didn’t let a single leaf intrude into the stone cave.

Yang Fan finally felt some relief and sat cross-legged on one side of the stone bed.

"Old man, previously when I visualized with spiritual energy, my Inner Qi initially grew rapidly, like a rocket, but then slowed down. Sometimes, even after a full circulation, there’s no movement. Is this normal?" Yang Fan suddenly thought of this and asked.

Mr. Fan said indifferently, "We’ve never tasted anything good; suddenly encountering some delicacies, our appetite naturally grows large."

"The same goes for meridians. Normally, breathing in nature’s spiritual energy makes them sluggish, but in such harsh conditions, our meridians are tempered to be robust and spacious. Suddenly consuming something good, aren’t the meridians, like us who have never had good food, suddenly opening their appetite?"

Yang Fan nodded.

Mr. Fan’s explanation is quite vivid.

Mr. Fan continued, "However, even the finest delicacies have a limit. Once you’re full, your stomach stops working, and naturally, your appetite drops. When you get used to these delicacies, that’s when your real standard of breathing spiritual energy is set."

Yang Fan understood, "I’ll try again."

"When I tried the other day, it was fast at one moment, then extremely slow. I thought something was wrong."

Facing the entrance, Yang Fan began breathing exercises, first visualizing the Heavenly Eye Technique.

He only knows the Heavenly Eye Technique but is far from mastering it.

If he could move naturally at night like Mr. Fan, without any lighting, perhaps that would be closer to mastery.

After Yang Fan entered his contemplation state, Mr. Fan sat by the entrance.

He didn’t immediately engage in cultivation but looked at Yang Fan and then at the dense locust tree leaves at the entrance.

If one ignores its terrifying nature, this wall is actually quite nice-looking.

After pondering for a while, Mr. Fan took out his phone and placed it on his lap.

His messages had been sent, but there was still no reply.

Frowning in thought, Mr. Fan suddenly picked up his phone, "Old bastard, I don’t care what means you use; solve this for me quickly. I’m trapped in the mountain now. If I can’t get out, you just wait for me to deal with you."

"Reading the message but not replying, what game are you playing? I’m telling you, the situation inside Li Mountain is far more terrifying than we thought. If you don’t rush this, what good are your mistress shenanigans? Delaying this will surely lead to changes. Old bastard, don’t force me to use drastic measures. I’ll take you down with me then."

"You heartless thing, even reading without replying. If you don’t give me a solution in ten minutes, I won’t wait for you. I’ll handle it myself, and I’ll take all of yours down with me afterward!"
