Chapter 299: The Body Perishes, The Dao Disperses
Why have they called me back again? Could the situation have changed? Li Fan thought with some puzzlement as he returned to Tianyu City.
After some consideration, he did not head directly for the Cosmos Branch Academy. Instead, Li Fan first went to the Tianxuan Mirror in Tianyu City.
Back in his private space within the Tianxuan Mirror, his avatar, stationed far away in the Congyun Sea, set aside its cultivation of the Creation Forge Technique and turned to searching for Curios of heaven and earth that could sharpen one's sensitivity and affinity with souls.
Information on various items appeared one after another.
Li Fan browsed through them and selected a high-grade Curio of Man: the Wraith Hairpin. He then sent it into the Bone Vanguard Realm.
His true self immediately initiated the ritual, absorbing the Curio within the vanguard realm.
Within his dantian, Return to Truth slowly transformed, finally taking on the forms of the Seven-Apertures Exquisite Heart and Wraith Hairpin.
Only after completing all this and returning to reality did Li Fan finally make his way to the Cosmos Branch Academy.
The transformation of Return to Truth into the Wraith Hairpin was, of course, Li Fan's attempt to increase his chances of identifying Soul Contracts.
The reason he hadn't done this earlier during the closed training was still due to considerations for his own safety.
It was entirely possible that the Cosmos Branch Academy was under someone's surveillance at all times.
His original performance had been average. If his results started improving right after redeeming a Curio, the stark contrast before and after would likely draw attention. There was no need to take that risk.
