Chapter 1186: Not Enough Ability
Lin Yifan had no interest in comforting the Enlightenment Tree.
Because he was extremely agitated now, feeling quite upset.
Leaving the Immortal Mansion was an irresistible temptation for the Enlightenment Tree, so it had no choice but to obediently follow Lin Yifan into the room.
The state could still be restored; it just requires some time. But whether it could leave the Immortal Mansion truly depended entirely on Lin Yifan's mood, so it had no ability to confront him.
Watching the Enlightenment Tree's departing figure, the little Sun Fruit Tree couldn't help but sigh: "Oh! Poor little Wu."
It was fine, bearing fruit was its only task, and only then would Lin Yifan use it, while every time the Enlightenment Tree went into seclusion to cultivate, it couldn't escape.
Everyone has their own difficulties; it understood the Enlightenment Tree's choice. If it were in its place, it would probably do the same.
Because when you know it's the only chance, you must seize it well; don't lose it or ruin it.
On the other side, with the help of the Enlightenment Tree, Lin Yifan quickly recovered his state.
He didn't think much, immediately left the Immortal Ring, and returned to the underground cave.
Faced again with this complex prohibition formation underground, his scalp tingled, not knowing what to do.
Continuing to research it would undoubtedly drain his spiritual power again, and then he would have to enter the Immortal Ring to restore his state.
If he stopped researching, then he could forget about taking the green Immortal Ring in the Desert Dynasty.
The choice was a matter of a single thought for him; he was very conflicted, very agitated.
After a long time, he finally arrived at an answer.
He was unwilling to miss the green Immortal Ring like this; so, he sat down and continued to focus on researching the solution method.
He wanted to give himself another chance, if there were still no clues, then he would temporarily stop; and when his power was strong, or he came up with a method later, then he would proceed to solve it.
A day earlier, he had already tried all the methods he could think of, and since none of them worked, another path should be taken, using other methods to solve it.
Creating a solution using his current array knowledge was a very difficult task.
Because original work is always difficult, plagiarism is simple and convenient, not requiring any mental effort.
However, although it was very challenging, Lin Yifan still wanted to give it a try; because only what belongs to your own is truly yours; a plagiarizer can never truly break through themselves.
Time passed bit by bit, he racked his brains, continuously deducing new ideas and new methods.
Gradually, he seemed to have some clues.
But it was very vague, still unable to be fully deduced.
This might be due to his capability or realm; after all, at his current realm, he couldn't handle long-term planning of complex formations.
Having some clues was a good thing, much better than having no ideas.
So Lin Yifan once again entered the blue Immortal Ring to restore his state, and after recovering, he used the new idea to deduce again, to see if it might work.
Lin Yifan dragged his weary body in again, the Enlightenment Tree suffered.
However, Lin Yifan did not require much spiritual power to recover, so it could barely handle another turn.
To leave the Immortal Mansion and gain freedom, it went all out. Thus, it entered the room to cultivate together with Lin Yifan.
The little Sun Fruit Tree couldn't help but sigh again, it seemed that the Enlightenment Tree would be tormented recently.
Over a day later, Lin Yifan emerged once more.
Now he was brimming with energy, refreshed and free of fatigue, it was a good time to explore the solution method for the prohibition formation.
With the new method deduced earlier, he would re-deduce to see if there were any clues.
At the initial stage, everything went smoothly; by the midway stage, he gradually encountered difficulties.
Because at this time, the textures became increasingly complex, constantly confusing his vision with similar textures, making it hard to tell which path was the correct one.
This was somewhat like a maze, there were many paths to choose from, but only one exit. If chosen wrong, one couldn't escape the maze.
However, this formation was far more complex than a maze, because a maze is two-dimensional, this was three-dimensional, with various textures interwoven together; one node might have tens of thousands of paths, a terrifying existence, no room for mistakes.
That's why solving formations requires consuming spiritual power, because one careless moment and the true path might be lost.
Lin Yifan felt strained, gradually unable to support himself.
At the front part of the midway stage, his solution method was still effective, but he didn't know if it would continue to work in the latter half.
Without a reference solution method, dealing with a complex great formation, he was still somewhat powerless.
So he decided to elevate his capabilities first, then research the solution method for the great formation.
To quickly enhance his soul power, he had to break through to the True Master Realm, because the insight ability of that realm was incomparable to the Divinity Transformation Realm.
His current realm was the Divine Transformation Forth Realm Middle Stage, with quite a distance to the True Master Realm.
He wasn't sure whether to stay here and cultivate continuously, or take a breath of fresh air outside, and come back once he advanced to the True Master Realm.
He couldn't keep advancing in realm continuously, he definitely had to wait a while. Staying here, he had nothing to do anyway, so he quickly made a choice.
Or, he could go out and ask the Medicine Saint to solve it, to see if the old man could do it.
Medicine Saint was highly skilled, his realm reached the bottleneck of this world, his capabilities in formations were exponentially better, so perhaps the old man might have a solution.
Yet, what if the old man got the green Immortal Ring, then what would Lin Yifan do?
No matter what, the old man should know the Desert Dynasty was here, so if Lin Yifan left, there's a chance the old man might sneak in and study this complex formation.
Therefore, what could stop this?
If the counterpart had the capability to acquire it, then it belonged to them; moreover, his family was in the hands of the Medicine Saint, even if he got the green Immortal Ring, he would eventually have to hand it over to the Medicine Saint.
This was something the Medicine Saint had arranged long ago; hence he confidently allowed the orange Immortal Ring to remain with Lin Yifan, letting him leave the Medicinal Saint Valley.
After understanding these things, Lin Yifan returned to the blue Immortal Ring to restore his state.
This time he didn't need the Enlightenment Tree, as he knew it was too weak.
It would take him some time to recover, so five days later, he emerged from the blue Immortal Ring.
The formation couldn't be solved, so it was time to leave here for a while.
Then he performed Qinggong, ascending.
He quietly lifted the grass skin, and after confirming no one was around, he emerged and flew into the distance.
In the shadows observing, the Medicine Saint saw Lin Yifan come up from the ground, unsure if he had obtained the green Immortal Ring; if so, he would have a total of three rings, truly a universal celebration event.
"A young man with extremely good opportunities, I didn't make the wrong bet."
Watching Lin Yifan's departing figure, the Medicine Saint smiled broadly, extremely delighted.
