After seven days and seven nights of diligent teaching, Zhou Fan and Nangong Wan's Master-disciple relationship became even more solid.
He successfully made his first good friend in the Cultivation World.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for becoming good friends with Qin Li's mother, the Son of Destiny! This System loves a kind, helpful person like the Host. Now rewarding the Host with 30,000 Luck Points!"
"May the Host continue to work hard and strive to turn a good friend into a true confidant!"
Late at night, Luan Feng Immortal had already returned to her quiet room for secluded cultivation, likely preparing for a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm.
As Zhou Fan tidied his room, he heard the System's pleasant notification sound and said with some surprise,
"30,000 points? System, did you give me too many? Is Fairy Master really that powerful?"
"Ding! Reporting to the Host, it is indeed 30,000 points. In the original storyline of Qin Li, the Son of Destiny, Nangong Wan can be said to be the person who had the greatest and most important influence on him."
"Host, you only became good friends with Nangong Wan and already received 30,000 points. If in the future you can go a step further and make Nangong Wan regard the Host as her only one, you can get another wave of rewards."
"Oh, I understand, System."
Zhou Fan knew that although Nangong Wan was now good friends with him, it was only because her Yin Physique and Spiritual Root needed him.
The System's meaning was to make Nangong Wan truly regard him as her only and most important friend, even after these factors were removed.
This was delicate work and needed to be done slowly.
However, there was also a shortcut.
"System, how many Luck points do I need to advance my Extreme Overlord Body to the next stage?"
"Ding! Reporting to the Host, the Extreme Overlord Body (Beginner Stage) still requires 100,000 Luck points to advance to the Intermediate Stage. The Intermediate Stage can affect those below the Soul Transformation Stage."
The goal of 100,000 Luck points was truly a bit distant. Zhou Fan looked at his balance of 44,900 Luck points on his panel and waved his hand, saying,
"System, exchange the Nine Yang Overlord Body for me, then raise both my Qi Refining Realm and Body Refining Realm to the third stage!"
"Received, Host!"
As 27,000 Luck points instantly decreased, Zhou Fan felt as if molten lava was flowing through his body.
His entire bone marrow was replaced. Zhou Fan observed his body internally and found that his bones gradually emitted a red jade-like luster.
Surging Qi and blood burst forth, and all the Meridians in his body were widened and became tougher.
Enduring the pain of marrow cleansing and muscle tempering, which felt like ten thousand ants gnawing at his heart, Zhou Fan clearly perceived every subtle change within his body, gaining a more comprehensive understanding of his new Physique.
He clenched his fist and circulated the Bawang Jue. The domineering aura emanating from him, from inside out, was several notches higher than when he had the Nine Yang Body.
If his domineering aura could only affect those one major Realm lower than him before, now his domineering aura could interfere with his opponent's mind during battles at the same stage.
Moreover, besides this, the Nine Yang Overlord Body also granted Zhou Fan a "transformation" ability.
In his normal state, Zhou Fan was just an unremarkable, well-built, tall Young Master.
After transforming using the power of the Nine Yang Overlord Body, Zhou Fan's height would surge to over 2.7 meters, with bulging muscles all over his body, making him look even more like a muscle-bound powerhouse than the Kuang Zhan Peak Master.
In this "Overlord" state, Zhou Fan's physical fitness would instantly increase by more than five times. At the same time, his resistance to attacks, recovery ability, endurance, explosive power, and linear running speed would all greatly improve.
However, the increase in flexibility was very small, not much different from before the transformation.
After familiarizing himself with his new Physique, Zhou Fan entered the System space and began to Cultivate diligently.
Cultivation knows no years, and seasons pass unnoticed.
After seven days and seven nights of private instruction, Zhou Fan benefited greatly, gaining a deeper understanding of the Meridian-Connecting Realm in Body Refining and the Foundation Establishment Stage in Qi Refining.
Now, with the System's top-tier assistance, Zhou Fan quickly connected twelve Meridians within his body and successfully opened an extra-large Qi Sea of twelve zhang in his Dantian, which was filled with incomparably pure liquid magical power.
In this world, connecting nine Meridians could already be called a supreme Foundation, and opening a nine-zhang Qi Sea could already be called Foundation Establishment Perfection.
Nine is the extreme of numbers, so it was reasonable for this Cultivation World to consider nine as the pinnacle.
But in the vast and boundless Chaos, and the immense World Sea, only twelve could be considered the Perfection of the basic Realm.
Zhou Fan reached this step.
After adjusting his state, he went all out, circulating the "Yin Yang Dao Dian," which he had already mastered and deeply understood. He gathered his three treasures of essence, Qi, and spirit, which had reached Perfection in this Realm, and officially launched his assault towards the position of a Golden Core Old Ancestor and a Great Cultivator who had condensed Protective Aura.
Streams of supreme Yang and supreme rigid Primordial Protective Aura were transformed from the Nine Yang Overlord Body, and drops of supreme Yin and supreme soft semi-solid magical power gathered from the Inferior Yin Spiritual Root.
The power of Yin and Yang continuously circulated and compressed within Zhou Fan's body, finally forming naturally: a Golden Core surrounded by Yin and Yang Qi condensed in Zhou Fan's Dantian.
At the same time, an indestructible Yin and Yang Protective Aura also emanated from Zhou Fan's body. This Protective Aura could change freely under Zhou Fan's control, becoming Yin and Yang, pure Yang, or pure Yin.
This was the profundity and brilliance of the "Yin Yang Dao Dian." It integrated Body Refining and Qi Refining into a single whole. So-called Spiritual Roots and Physiques were actually Treasure Troves within the human body.
After thoroughly comprehending the basic chapter of the "Yin Yang Dao Dian," Zhou Fan now appeared to be only in the early stage of Body Refining (Condensing Protective Aura) and the early stage of Qi Refining (Core Formation).
However, he could exert an effect where 1+1 > 2 for both. Zhou Fan was now brimming with confidence. Even if a top-tier third-stage Cultivator stood before him, he could defeat and kill them.
"System, open my panel."

"System, are there still this many Luck points? I remember that a Qi Refining Realm Breakthrough requires 4500 points, and a Body Refining Realm Breakthrough requires 4800 points. Logically, there should only be 8600 Luck points left, shouldn't there?"
"Could it be that Fairy Master's private instruction was that effective?"
"Ding! Reporting to the Host, private instruction is one factor, and the Host's good state in the Cultivation space this time is another factor, so a total of 1200 Luck points were saved!"
