The figure within the Jade Bi continuously practiced.

Under the influence of this mysterious cultivation technique, Xu Fan felt as if he were drawing ever closer to breaking through the bottleneck he faced.

It was hard to say how much time had passed, but suddenly, the vast starry sky exploded into a burst of brilliant light!

The light devoured the entire starry sky! In an instant, everything in front of Xu Fan turned pitch black!

There was an incomparable silence all around! Only the sound of deep, long breaths remained.

It seemed as though the shackles on his body had been released! Xu Fan felt his body undergoing unprecedented changes!

This sensation was truly subtle, as if the pores all over his body had opened, and with each breath, the Spiritual Energy existing between heaven and earth formed a circulation with his body's meridians.

At the same time, his Divine Sense also expanded outward with each inhale and exhale.

With his Divine Sense sweeping out, he could perceive every single object around him and nothing could escape his notice.

All of these were signs of a martial artist stepping into the Entering Dao Realm.

Xu Fan, with his eyes closed, couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile.

Although this was just stepping into the doorway of the Entering Dao Realm, it represented a qualitative leap in strength!

It's known that a martial artist in the Entering Dao Realm could manipulate the Spiritual Energy within the scope of their Divine Sense.

The power of the martial arts they deployed was several times greater, not to mention that their physical strength also increased manifold!

To put it bluntly, even if his Spiritual Power were exhausted, bullets wouldn't be able to kill him now.

Such a terrifying improvement made Xu Fan somewhat look forward to the confrontation with Situ Jing.

By then, with his cultivation level in the Entering Dao Realm, coupled with the restraint the Gu Insect had on Situ Jing, it would definitely not be too difficult for him to overpower the latter.

Opening his eyes, a breath as sharp as an arrow spurted out, and Xu Fan again activated the golden light in his right pupil, looking back into the white Jade Bi in his hand.

"This…"

Looking again, he could no longer see the images that were previously in the Jade Bi, and even using his Divine Sense yielded the same result.

This outcome truly surprised Xu Fan.

Unexpectedly, this object turned out to be single-use...

In his mind, however, the martial techniques practiced by those figures earlier were still vividly etched, but trying to activate those images again did not enhance his cultivation level like before.

All that remained in his mind were just the cultivation techniques.

He wasn't greedy; the Jade Bi had helped him break through his cultivation level and had included a cultivation technique, and Xu Fan felt he had already made a tremendous gain.

There was just one thing that made Xu Fan somewhat embarrassed.

The Jade Bi was entrusted to him by that middle-aged man to bring back, but now he had absorbed the secrets within it.

Even if the man got it back, it would merely amount to the value of Jade Money now.

The most valuable part, somewhat foolishly, ended up with him, and Xu Fan felt somewhat guilty...

He hadn't expected that the secrets Hu Dewu had puzzled over for so long could be discerned by a mere glance from him...

It was truly somewhat helpless.

Technically, that man had only asked him to bring back the white Jade Bi, so returning it as agreed wouldn't really be breaking the contract.

Later on, he could impart the martial techniques in his mind to him as compensation.

Of course, all this was predicated on ensuring that the secret of the golden light in his right pupil wouldn't be exposed.

After Xu Fan had decided on his plan, he ventured into the dense woods near Hu Dewu's base.

Despite his breakthrough in cultivation level, he had to admit that Situ Jing was still an extremely challenging opponent.

Before the victory was decided, he could not afford to be careless.

Having broken through to the Entering Dao Realm, the Divine Sense he cultivated could cover an approximate radius of two hundred meters.

Within this range, not a single flower or blade of grass, not a tree or a bush, could escape Xu Fan's eyes.

This was hugely convenient for Xu Fan in collecting materials for Gu Refinement!

Now, all he needed to do was to sweep with his Divine Sense to confirm whether the materials he wanted were nearby.

This method was many times more convenient than a carpet-style search.

At least, Xu Fan no longer needed to inspect each herb one by one.

With the help of Divine Sense, Xu Fan estimated that he could collect all the materials for refining the Gu in less than two days.

Of course, being able to find materials so quickly was also related to the nearby environment.

The humid environment of this mountain was very suitable for the growth of medicinal herbs and poisons.

Even though the middle-aged man in Shanghai was looking after him, he still could not afford to drag out the time too long.

As he collected Gu Refinement materials in the dense forest, Xu Fan didn't dare to delay for a second.

While using his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings, he pressed deeper into the dense woods.

The deeper into these mountains you go, the more dangers there are, from poisonous insects to fierce beasts, everything one could imagine! If it were an ordinary martial artist, he would probably have died in these deep mountains by now.

But Xu Fan was different. Now, with the enhancement of Divine Sense, he could react immediately to even a hint of danger nearby.

Without waiting for those poisonous insects and fierce beasts to attack him, he dealt with them directly.

In this manner, Xu Fan quickly proceeded deeper into the Cross Border Forest while searching for herbs.

In this dense forest, there were no longer any signs of human activity, but at the same time, the rare medicinal herbs that were hard to find in the market started to appear before Xu Fan's eyes.

These were all excellent materials for Gu Refinement. If it weren't for Xu Fan's cultivation level, he might have been eaten by fierce beasts before even seeing these materials, which were more valuable than diamonds.

Xu Fan didn't hesitate, and gathered them all.

In a short amount of time, he had collected enough materials.

With this, as long as he merged these items, he could begin the formal Gu Refinement.

Mixing the materials didn't take much time, and Xu Fan spent about two hours completing this step.

Next, all he had to do was use these materials and the blood of the Jade Silkworm to feed to the original Gu, and he could refine the Gu.

The so-called original Gu was the most basic form of Gu.

Using a special method, thousands of poisonous insects were gathered to fight each other, and the last Gu to emerge from this battle was called the original Gu.

Refining the original Gu was also the reason Xu Fan rushed to the depths of this dense forest these past few days.

Now, positioned in the midst of these vast mountains, all he had to do was play the insect herding tune, and the poisonous insects within dozens of miles would come together to fight.

At that moment, Xu Fan would be able to cultivate over ten original Gu in one go!

With so many original Gu, even if his success rate for Gu Refinement was low, by using numbers to compensate, at least one or two successful Gu would be refined.

Filled with anticipation, Xu Fan then released the Jade Silkworm residing on his body, and immediately, he plucked a leaf from a nearby tree and placed it in his mouth.

Then, Xu Fan pinched the leaf and slowly began to play...
