Gou Dao Changsheng: Starting from the Reincarnation of a Demon Cultivator

Chapter 172 Breakthrough in Cultivation
“Is that really the case?
Song Qinghe is also a master of foundation building, and he also has treasures bestowed by the sect. Although Brother Ku Dao is only at the second level of body refining, are you really sure of this..."

Gu Jiushang's eyes were gloomy, and the hatred in them was not concealed at all. This time, not only he himself was recruited to Qingzhu Mountain, but also Old Maitou.

Under Song Qinghe's intentional or unintentional suppression, Gu Jiushang turned to practicing evil culinary techniques. Although he went through hardships, he finally survived.

Old Maitou was captured alive by a half-demon monk, so his limbs were mutilated and his cultivation was greatly damaged. A few months ago, when a monster attacked the mountain, he was devoured by a monster.

Gu Jiushang was a little hesitant.

If Song Qinghe could be used as one of the three main ingredients, not only could revenge be achieved, but also a breakthrough could be made to the middle-grade Taoist foundation, but he still had some concerns.

"Brother Ku Dao, if we don't kill him this time, Song Qinghe has someone to rely on in Xuanyang Mountain. If he hides back in Xuanyang Mountain, it will be much more difficult to kill him next time..."

Fang Yi raised his brows slightly.

It was quite difficult to kill Song Qinghe with only his second-level body refining cultivation.

But as long as there are many troubles, there are always more solutions than problems.

Poisoning, ambushing, siege, luring monsters to break into the city... evil thoughts were swirling in his mind. Why attack head-on when he could just strike from behind?

Both of them are second-level combat forces, Song Qinghe is in the light while I am in the dark.

With the help of the Seven Commandments, we can just plot secretly.

Involved in this rare living puppet, Song Qinghe is also related to the fortune teller who is spying on him.

It is a rare opportunity to encounter them encountering a beast tide and defending Qingzhu Mountain. Fang Yi will definitely not miss this opportunity to make a move.

“Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Gu.

Xiao Qi

Following Fang Yi's light cry, the breath of a second-level monster came from outside the training room.

"Second-level demon pet!"

Gu Jiushang's pupils shrank slightly, and then he felt relieved. Although he didn't know what kind of monster it was, it was undoubtedly a second-level monster with aura.

With this help, killing Song Qinghe is indeed possible.

Seeing this, Fang Yi spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, can you and I start the Living Puppet Refining Ceremony?"

Under the influence of the "Heart Puppetry Technique" and the opportunity to build a foundation for Taoism, Gu Jiushang closed his eyes and stretched out his limbs.

"Come on, Brother Kudao!"

Seeing that he looked like he had given up resisting, Fang Yi's mouth twitched slightly.

Then, without hesitation, his mind surged and he used the secret method of animate puppets. The spells in his hands kept changing like a butterfly flying through flowers.

Wisps of crimson mist appeared around him, and the mist surged, transforming into spiritual characters that penetrated into Gu Jiu's injured bones and flesh.

"what!!"

As the severe pain penetrated deep into his bones, Gu Jiushang's face became hideous, his whole body trembled, and he screamed miserably.

Fang Yi looked calm upon seeing this, and spiritual texts appeared one after another, continuing to penetrate into Gu Jiushang's body.

The secret of living puppets is the most advanced secret of puppetry.

Among the miraculous inheritances of the ten ancient sects that he obtained in his previous life, it is also the most advanced.

Not only does the person who performs the ritual need to be a cultivator with top talent, but the process of ritual is also extremely painful.

The "Heart Puppetry Technique" transforms the soul, and then uses the puppeteer's magical energy to gradually invade the physical body of the talent. This blood and marrow exchange is naturally extremely painful.

But after the ritual is completed, the benefits are also huge.

The living puppet's soul and body are all taken over by the puppeteer, and it is 100% obedient to the puppeteer.

If the puppet master dies, as long as the golden elixir is forged, this living puppet can also be a top-grade cauldron that can be used to take over another body.

Moreover, living puppets can not only practice, but can also be refined twice or three times with spiritual materials.

Take Gu Jiushang, who is currently being sacrificed, as an example.

His spiritual root is of top grade, but the spiritual root scale is only sixty-three, barely above the lower limit of sixty scales for top grade spiritual roots.

Originally, even if one could forge a mid-level Taoist foundation, the possibility of advancing to the Jindan Zhenren realm was only 10% or 20%.

But after being sacrificed and refined into a living puppet by Fang Yi.

Refining it again with many puppet spiritual materials is enough to greatly improve its cultivation progress, and the probability of advancing to the third-level puppet will double.

Gu Jiushang's screams gradually became hoarse, veins on his forehead bulged, and strands of replaced blood oozed out from the pores all over his body.

Then the hot qi and blood evaporated, and the spilled blood condensed into a thick blood scab.

But Gu Jiushang suffered silently and did not say much.

He knew that although he practiced "Xuan Tao Bai Ru Yan" to make up for the deficiency of Dantian and had the hope of building a foundation, it had nothing to do with the mysterious and unusual Taoist Ku.

Since he had agreed to practice the Living Puppet Technique and accepted the benefits that day, now that Taoist Ku had brought a second-level demon pet here, he naturally had to abide by the agreement.

Even the many little thoughts in my mind were extinguished one by one.

This is also the reason why Fang Yi, who is at the second level of body training, appeared in front of Gu Jiushang.

Even if one uses the "Heart Puppetry Technique" to change one's mind, as long as the living puppet is not completely sacrificed, the relationship between the two will still be affected by their cultivation.

Feeling his own aura, which had already infected Gu Jiu by 50%, the look of submission in his eyes became stronger.

Fang Yi nodded slightly. According to this progress, if he could perform the ritual once or twice more, he would be able to obtain a first-level living puppet.

He decided to hand over the flesh and blood of the second-level rock rat to Gu Jiushang.

The flesh and blood of the second-level monsters are extremely precious. They are of great benefit to one's own physical cultivation and the advancement of the Seven Commandments.

If the living puppet had not been perfectly refined during its initial sacrifice, the flesh and blood of this second-level monster would never have been given away so easily.

Fang Yi increased the magic power in his hands, and the crimson mist around him became three times thicker.

The mist and clouds rolled, and finally gathered into a plump blood bead, which slowly reflected on Gu Jiushang's brow and turned into a blood mark shaped like an ancient tree.

Feel the connection between yourself and the blood seal of the ancient tree.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, this ritual ends here. I'll leave this second-level rock rat's body to you for your Xuan Tao Banquet. Also, gather more information about Song Qinghe. I'll contact you if I need anything important later."

"Yes! I will obey Brother Kudao's orders."

Gu Jiushang bowed respectfully, and only straightened his back after the aura of Taoist Ku and the second-level spiritual pet completely disappeared.

His mind was in turmoil as he thought of Ziweixian, who was forced to close his shop, and the dead Old Maitou.

"Song Qinghe, with Brother Kudao's help, let's see if you can continue to live freely this time."

However, Gu Jiushang did not notice.

His attitude towards the Taoist priest had changed from wariness when they first met, to closeness when they met again, and finally to respect now.

Maybe he has already discovered it, but he doesn't care. After all, this is the only way he has left.

Three years later.

Qingzhufang City, No. 1 Cave Mansion.

Fang Yi sat cross-legged, reciting the Sutra of Life and Death.

As the magic power was absorbed and released, strands of pure spiritual energy were refined by it.

The magic formulas in his hands changed, and green spiritual light emanated from his limbs and bones.

The spiritual lights entangled and collided, eventually transforming into an ancient tree, appearing behind him.

"Wow!"

The branches and leaves of the lush ancient trees swayed.

As the seasons rotate, the aura of growth and decay overflows, draining the spiritual energy from the training room.

Fang Yi's momentum began to rise continuously, and in a trance he broke through a certain limit, creating a subtle resonance with the entire environment.

In the training room, another half-meter-long vortex of spiritual energy formed.

In the Dantian Qi Sea, Ku Rong's magic power gradually gathered and turned into a flowing spiritual mist of blue and gray.

"boom!"

With the formation of the spiritual object transformed by the first ray of magic power, Fang Yi's cultivation level has completely broken through.

After the magic power circulated for thirty-six cycles and stabilized the ninth level of Qi training.

Fang Yi let out a deep breath.

"Ninth level of Qi training, five years earlier than expected, I've finally reached this realm again!"

After the body refining cultivation broke through the second level, the muscles, bones, blood and flesh all over the body were tempered and baptized, and the efficiency of absorbing and refining spiritual energy was greatly increased.

Therefore, even though he did not take any elixirs in order to purify his magic power, he was able to advance to the ninth level of Qi training at the age of forty-seven.

Feeling the magic power that had turned into spiritual mist in the sea of ​​qi in his dantian, Fang Yi's face showed joy.

The "Book of Life, Death, and Flourishing" is indeed a miraculous achievement from ancient times. Although the progress is slow, it is steadily and steadily built, and its foundation is terrifyingly deep.

As soon as he entered the ninth level of Qi training, his magic power began to liquefy.

Mana liquid.

This is one of the most important transformations for a person who has established his foundation.

The third-level martial arts technique "Three Yin Killing God Technique" that Fang Yi practiced in his previous life, although it would hinder his lifespan, it is also a superior inheritance among the third-level martial arts techniques.

But by then, his cultivation had already reached the ninth level of Qi training, and his magic power had faintly transformed into spiritual mist.

Even so, he still stood out among the many Qi-training disciples in Mingquan Sect.

Fang Yi made a rough calculation.

With his own magic power that has now been liquefied, combined with the pure magic power that has been forged over decades without swallowing any realm-breaking elixir.

At this moment, he has a 50% chance of breaking through to the foundation-building stage.

But Fang Yi did not do so.

The three treasures of foundation building are essence, energy and spirit. His body refining has broken through to the second stage, and the one treasure of essence has been completed.

The treasure of Qi, with its degree of magical power turning into liquid, is only a few years of hard work away from perfection.

A treasure of God, its soul level has reached the quasi-second level, and the secret soul technique "Yuan Chen Spiritual Technique" is not far from perfection, and it only needs to train itself to create a living puppet.

With two second-level fighters, the Red Fire Snake in the Red Fire Secret Realm, although also second-level, is definitely no match when fighting one against three.

The three treasures of essence, energy and spirit have a way to perfection. The highest level of Tao foundation is not a flower in the mirror or a moon in the water.

How could Fang Yi give up?

He knew very well that although he was a Jindan Zhenren in his previous life, the accumulation of hundreds of years would not be of much help in his advancement to Yuanying stage.

Since I have such an opportunity in this life, I naturally have to do my best to accumulate experience and build a solid foundation.

It’s okay to make slow progress in cultivation; the only way to achieve success is to polish your foundation to the extreme.

The road to immortality is long, only if you walk steadily can you go far.

"Boom!"

A dull bombardment sound came from outside the quiet room.

Feel the vibration of the formation in the cave that is connected to the Qingzhufang City's protective formation.

"Here they come? The beast tide is coming again."

Fang Yi raised his brows slightly. In the past three years, the number of monsters emerging in the Qingyun Mountains has continued to increase.

The rat demon tribe in Qingzhu Market was also replenished, with four second-level demon beasts among them.

In Qingzhufang Market, there are only three people with foundation-building combat capabilities: the ancestor of the He family, Song Qinghe, and the foundation-building master who came to support from Fengling Fairy City.

Outnumbered three to four, even if the human cultivators relied on magical weapons and were slightly stronger than ordinary monsters, they could only rely on the second-level formation of Qingzhufang City for defense.

Fang Yi's soul surged, and he projected part of his spiritual thoughts onto Gu Jiushang following the connection between the puppeteer and the puppet.
