While flying towards Guiyuan Sect on his sword, Zhou Fan checked his updated panel.

Thinking that the Old Sword Master of Qiankun Sword Sect was a newly advanced Nascent Soul Cultivator, Zhou Fan hesitated whether to Breakthrough to Tier 4 now.
If he were to Breakthrough to Tier 4, Zhou Fan's current Luck Value was not enough to Breakthrough both his Qi Refining and Body Refining Realms simultaneously; he could only choose one of them.
To Breakthrough the Qi Refining Realm from Core Formation to Nascent Soul, it would cost 27000 to advance his Inferior Yin Spiritual Root to Yellow-grade Inferior Yin Spiritual Root, and then consume 16000 points of Luck Value to raise his cultivation, totaling 43000 points of Luck Value.
To Breakthrough the Body Refining Realm from Protective Aura to Elemental Transformation, he would need to spend 48000 points of Luck Value to purchase the Great Sun Royal Body, and then only consume 8000 points of Luck Value to ascend to Elemental Transformation, totaling 56000 points.
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Zhou Fan decided to first improve his Body Refinement cultivation.
This would not only maximize his combat power upon entering Tier 4, but the Luck Value required for Body Refinement cultivation advancement was only half that of Qi Refining, so it was clearly most profitable to advance Body Refinement first.
Having made up his mind, Zhou Fan no longer hesitated. He casually found an uninhabited small hill to sit down, set up a concealment Formation, and immediately exchanged for the advanced Physique of Nine Yang Overlord Body—the Great Sun Royal Body.
The familiar sensation of complete transformation swept through his body again. Zhou Fan had gradually grown accustomed to this feeling of rapidly strengthening physical functions, experiencing both pain and pleasure.
When the Great Sun Royal Body was perfectly integrated and mastered by Zhou Fan, a great sun anomaly, visible only to Zhou Fan, blazed furiously within his body.
All Impurities and energy, once consumed by Zhou Fan, would become the fuel for this great sun furnace.
At the same time, Zhou Fan's core strength increased by dozens of times. If Zhou Fan's Physical Body before was like a hybrid electric car, then after loading the Great Sun Royal Body, his Physical Body transformed into nuclear-powered armor.
Both its durability and explosive power far surpassed the Nine Yang Overlord Body period. Taking the 'Overlord' form of the big muscular brute as an example, before advancement, when Zhou Fan transformed into 'Overlord,' he could at most maintain this form for half an hour.
Now, after advancing to the Great Sun Royal Body, Zhou Fan can transform into 'Overlord' and last for several days with power still to spare.
After familiarizing himself with the new Physique, Zhou Fan entered the System's Cultivate space and began to earnestly comprehend the Body Refining section of the "Yin Yang Dao Dian" · Advanced Chapter.
8000 points of Luck Value quietly flowed away.
A moment later, Zhou Fan opened his eyes, his aura scorching and domineering. The Protective Aura around his body had completely condensed into Elemental Transformation, coiling around him in a more solid and resilient Elemental Aura form.
Zhou Fan exhaled a breath. His body now contained extremely heavy Yang Qi, with Yin Qi only able to hide within his Golden Core.
However, he did not have an imbalance of Yin and Yang. Relying on the powerful Yin and Yang harmonizing ability of the "Yin Yang Dao Dian," Zhou Fan was currently in a state of 'Great Yang, Lesser Yin'.
Although it was not a state where Yin and Yang Qi were nearly equal and equally matched, 'Great Yang, Lesser Yin' could actually be considered a form of Yin and Yang balance.
The only drawback was that Zhou Fan now felt a bit too much internal heat.
He suddenly wanted to return to Qingyang City and thoroughly engage with the Xuanyuan Dynasty's number one female Divine Constable a few more times, but Ning Shuying's cultivation was, after all, low, and she had no prior experience, making her quite unsuited for such intense engagements.
He had only used less than half of his strength yesterday, yet he had already left her disheveled and ultimately unconscious.
After ruling out Ning Shuying, Zhou Fan thought of his Fairy Master and the Sword Immortal Bu Yu, who was aloof in public but had a contrasting personality in private.
These two women were quite good; they always allowed him to fight to his heart's content.
However, Sword Immortal Bu Yu, Luo Ningshuang, was currently in seclusion, and his Fairy Master had been fighting with him daily recently, causing Zhou Fan to clearly feel her growing exhaustion.
Taking Qin Li's summoning of him as an example, Zhou Fan was indeed in the middle of 'exchanging' with his Fairy Master at that time, but that was his 'half', and his Fairy Master had already been exhausted multiple times.
There was no helping it; Nine Yang Overlord Body + Overlord Physique, coupled with his extraordinary talent, was simply this unreasonable.
Even Luan Feng Immortal, as a dual Tier 4 Cultivator, still couldn't defeat the Tier 3 Zhou Fan in certain specific scenarios.
"Sigh, I hope Li Di's fiancée can be a little more understanding."
After Zhou Fan completed his cultivation advancement, his Physical Body's flying speed significantly increased, allowing him to traverse tens of thousands of li in less than a day and arrive at the entrance of Guiyuan Sect.
He did not rush into Guiyuan Sect. After employing some methods to set up several hidden observation points near Guiyuan Sect, Zhou Fan took residence in a town nearby.
Three days later, a white-haired old man with a face full of wrinkles, looking extremely old and frail, strolled into Guiyuan Sect.
Strangely, although he had no aura emanating from him, appearing to be just an Ordinary Mortal with no cultivation, neither Guiyuan Sect's protective Formation nor the Guiyuan Sect Disciples guarding the mountain gate noticed him.
The old man, walking leisurely, directly entered the main hall of Guiyuan Sect as if no one else was present.
At this moment, there was no one else in the main hall of Guiyuan Sect, only Sect Master Xiao Muqing, dressed in a conservative red and gold long robe, her willow-like brows slightly furrowed as she handled the various affairs of the Sect.
The old man first observed the beautiful fiancée of Daoist Qingyan's son for a while, then, thinking of something, the expression on his old face instantly turned lewd.
But just as he lifted his foot, preparing to approach Xiao Muqing, who was focused on her work, a powerful voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Oi, old man, what are you doing? At your age, do you still want to be a flower thief like your grandpa, me?"
"Who is Your Excellency?"
The Old Sword Master of Qiankun Sword Sect was startled by the young man who suddenly appeared behind him. He extended his Divine Sense and was surprised to find that this young man not only had an extremely vigorous life force but also had reached the Tier 4 Realm.
"This old man has not offended Your Excellency before, have I? Could it be that Your Excellency also fancies this new Sect Master of Guiyuan Sect?"
"Hmm, you could say that."
Zhou Fan was frank and open. He had indeed come this time to have a thorough 'discussion' with Li Di's fiancée.
Upon hearing this, the Old Sword Master's expression changed several times, but he eventually chuckled and yielded.
"Since this woman belongs to Your Excellency, then this old man shall not disturb you."
After saying that, the Old Sword Master was about to leave.
"Stop, who said you could leave?"
