Immortal Reincarnation Tribulation

Chapter 202 Destruction and Reconstruction

"Ah..." A series of terrifying roars came from Du Fan's mouth, never ending.

Suddenly, Du Fan felt an intense hatred for the Soul Devouring Technique he was cultivating. Under this inhuman torment, he desperately wanted to faint and die so he could escape this pain.

However, his extraordinary spiritual sense made it impossible for him to accomplish this. Instead, the intense pain amplified his senses and sharpened his mind, making the suffering seem magnified, a living hell.

"Ding, Ding Lan, kill me, hurry, hurry, kill me! Please, please, kill me!"

Du Fan's voice was filled with despair as he rolled on the ground in anguish. His hair was disheveled, and he was crying uncontrollably. Strands of hair were stuck to his face and mixed with sticky stuff, making him look extremely unkempt.

"Young Master Du, how could I kill you? What happened to you?" Ding Lan panicked and felt sad when she saw Du Fan's appearance. Tears streamed down her face, and her heart ached instantly. She didn't know what to do.

Du Fan could clearly feel that at this moment, all the bones and tendons below his neck had been completely shattered.

However, within his body, there seemed to be an invisible force surrounding each of his shattered bones, preventing his bone fragments from scattering. Otherwise, his body would have long since collapsed into a pile of boneless, rotten flesh, like an earthworm...

"what!"

Just after he let out his last heart-wrenching scream, he finally bled from all seven orifices, convulsed all over, closed his eyes, and "as desired" passed out.

Ding Lan's breathing became rapid and her chest heaved violently; she was filled with immense fear.

After a long while, she couldn't help but reach out her trembling fingers to check his breathing. When she felt Du Fan's faint breathing, a little life finally returned to her pale face.

However, just as her fingertips brushed against Du Fan's chest, she felt as if she had been electrocuted, and withdrew her hand immediately, collapsing to the ground.

At the same time, the woman's delicate body trembled violently, and she let out a shrill scream. She felt as if her head was about to explode, and she almost fainted as well.

"Young Master Du, what's wrong? Don't scare me like that..."

When Ding Lan's fingertips touched Du Fan's body, she did not feel the presence of bones. It was as if she were touching cotton, causing the area to dent instantly. After her fingers left, it seemed to spring back to normal in a moment.

As a result, Ding Lan dared not touch Du Fan's body in the slightest. Instead, she stood beside him, biting her pale lips and weeping silently.

……

Three days later, Du Fan slowly woke up. The first thing he saw was Ding Lan's pale face, the tear stains at the corners of her eyes, and her beautiful but panicked and helpless eyes.

Although Ding Lan was looking at Du Fan, her eyes were empty and colorless, as if she had lost her soul. She seemed not to even see Du Fan struggling to sit up with his teeth bared.

"Miss Ding..."

Seeing Ding Lan's condition, Du Fan was startled. He didn't bother to examine himself and immediately released a wisp of his divine sense to scan the woman's body. After finding that she was unharmed, he felt relieved and decided to examine himself internally.

But just then, a loud "rumbling" sound suddenly came from the mouth of the giant beast.

Du Fan's heart skipped a beat. Almost instinctively, he picked up the woman in front of him with one arm and suddenly swept up everything on the ground with the other arm. At the same time, he flashed and appeared on the wall of the giant beast's cavity, sticking firmly to it.

After the floodwaters receded, Du Fan leaped up and landed steadily on the ground with Ding Lan in his arms.

"what?"

Recalling the churning waves he had just experienced, Du Fan suddenly felt a sense of unease. This time, it was far too easy, a world of difference compared to the previous times. The feeling he had experienced from that monstrous torrent was like being doused with a bucket of water…

Du Fan's heart stirred, and in an instant, he had a few guesses. Without further hesitation, he immediately released his divine sense and began his internal inspection.

"Not only are all the muscles and bones in my body completely healed, but they are also stronger than before. Moreover, this change is not slight, but a tremendous transformation, like a qualitative leap, a complete rebirth!"

The next moment, Du Fan was shocked, followed by a look of ecstasy. The Cleansing Muscle Pill and the Bone-Strengthening Pill were not only real, but also incredibly potent!

He naturally didn't know that these two combined pills were among the most unique of the many body-tempering pills in the Cold Mountain Sect.

While the effects of this set of pills are indeed astonishing, the pain that the user must endure from the moment the medicinal power dissipates until the body tempering is completed is far beyond what an ordinary person can bear.

The Hanshan Sect has its own unique method to help its Buddhist and Taoist disciples take this kind of elixir and safely undergo body tempering.

Before using these two body-tempering pills, the disciples of Hanshan Sect must first sprinkle the sect's secret medicinal water into the bathtub, and then take off their clothes and soak in the medicinal water.

In this way, the pain that one would normally have to endure during the body tempering process will be reduced to less than 10%.

In other words, the pain Du Fan experienced when taking this kind of pill was more than ten times that of the disciples of the Cold Mountain Sect. It was precisely because of this that the medicinal effects remained pure, allowing his body to be tempered more completely.

"Destruction precedes construction!"

Suddenly, four words appeared in Du Fan's mind. These four words... were the essence of the Cleansing Tendon Pill and the Bone-Setting Pill.

At this moment, he was incredibly excited, his emotions were running high, and his eyes were shining brightly. He had completely forgotten the shameful scene of himself crying and begging for death before he lost consciousness.

"With my current strength and resilience, plus the passive effects of the Level 2 Savage Technique and Body Strengthening Technique, if I were to unleash the full power of the Copper Iron Arm Forging Technique, even a Qi Refining Stage Perfection expert would probably have to back down."

Du Fan took a deep breath, and after a long while, his emotions gradually calmed down.

Only then did he realize that he was holding a delicate body in his arms, looking utterly lost, and that his hands were unknowingly clasped tightly against her chest.

Du Fan blushed and quickly moved his hand away. Fortunately, Ding Lan was in a special state at the time and did not notice.

After feeling relieved, Du Fan immediately separated a wisp of his divine sense and entered the woman's primordial spirit space, carefully stimulating her soul.

A moment later, Ding Lan frowned slightly, let out a soft hum, her crystal eyes flashed, and finally her soul possessed her.

However, this unexpected turn of events dealt a significant blow to the woman.

At first, the woman's emotions were clearly not normal. After a gasp, she suddenly raised her arms and tightly wrapped them around Du Fan's neck, refusing to let go, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing...

She was completely exhausted and tired from all the commotion, and after taking a nap, she woke up the next day feeling completely recovered.

Because Du Fan was unconscious, some residual medicinal power of the Cleansing Muscle Pill and the Bone-Strengthening Pill remained in his body. Over the next few days, he calmed down, closed his eyes, and meditated to refine them.

Although the refining of the remaining medicinal power caused Du Fan some pain, it was nothing compared to the excruciating pain he had experienced before. Moreover, the refining process also helped to strengthen his bones and muscles.

After protecting Ding Lan and withstanding the giant beast's devouring once again, Du Fan began to study the Buddhist and Taoist physical techniques he had long coveted, such as "The Descent of the Human Buddha," "The Indestructible Vajra Body," and "The Undying and Indestructible Body."

"Still not enough, it's lacking..."

Several hours later, Du Fan put away the cultivation technique and sighed.

Although his current strength is vastly different from before, these techniques are too domineering, and their demands on his muscles and bones have reached an outrageous level.

Therefore, he cannot yet meet the conditions for cultivating these techniques, but he is almost there.

He estimated that he would need to take at least two more Cleansing Pills and Bone-Strengthening Pills before he could barely cultivate these three techniques. If he forced himself to cultivate them now, his body would not be able to withstand the backlash of that enormous force, and he would collapse and die.

However, for him now, the pain of these two pills is secondary; the main problem is that each one consumed reduces the supply, and obtaining more in the future will be extremely difficult.

Therefore, he needed to study it immediately to identify the ingredients and proportions of the two elixirs, or in simple terms, the elixir formulas.

Only in this way can he take the Cleansing Tendon Pill and Bone Strengthening Pill without any scruples, temper his own muscles and bones, and then strive for the opportunity to cultivate those three Buddhist and Taoist body techniques.

"No time to lose, let's get started!"

Once Du Fan had made up his mind, he no longer hesitated. With a flick of his fingers, he immediately took out a set of experimental instruments and quickly assembled and deployed them.

He then took out a Cleansing Tendon Pill and a Bone-Strengthening Pill, carefully shaved off some of the powder with his blade, put it into a container, and decisively began to study it.

A day later, Du Fan discovered that the two pills were extremely complex in composition, containing not only rare changes in the five elements, but also deceptive herbs. To study them thoroughly would definitely not be something that could be accomplished in a short time.

Du Fan summoned Ding Lan and handed her a book, which was a set of the most common health preservation techniques in the cultivation world.

Du Fan immediately gave Ding Lan a few kind words of guidance and then told her to go and cultivate on her own.

This is a cultivation method similar to the introductory techniques of immortal cultivation. It is not limited to cultivators; even ordinary people can practice it, and it can also strengthen the body and prolong life.

He himself was completely immersed in the experiments with the elixir.

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
