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

Chapter 372: Cultivation, Qinghuai Falls into the Trap

"Naturally, it's a fellow Taoist who can resolve the issue of accountability with the White Bone Sect."

Fang Yi stroked Qijie's soft fur, his expression calm as he looked at the female cultivator who looked wary.

"Fellow Daoist Li, this Xiaoyuan Ridge is located in the territory of Fengling Immortal City. Nine-Curved Immortal is suppressing it, and the Jindan Immortals in the White Bone Sect are a little hesitant...

But if we don’t resolve the issue, this dark market will still be a difficult one for you and me…”

"Who is this fellow Daoist? A great foundation-building cultivator from the White Bone Sect?"

Li Wuhui played with the golden needle with her delicate hands, and suddenly realized something.

Fang Yi was still as cautious as usual. As if he had the Black Tortoise bloodline, he would not act rashly unless he was 90% sure.

"Friend Fang, this isn't the first time you've set your sights on Xiaoyuanling, right?"

Li Wuhui confirmed the answer, but when Fang Yi avoided the question, he stopped asking.

The speed of escape of "The Great Method of Heaven and Man" is unparalleled, and it is also the top one among the same level.

Even if two or three more cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage came, although she would not be their match, it would not be difficult for her to escape.

Fang Yi smiled slightly but did not answer.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li. Please wait a moment. Coincidentally, several young talents from the Li family of Qianzhi Garden are here.

Fellow Daoist, you can go and see him..."

"Li family..."

There was a complex and incomprehensible look in Li Wuhui's eyes. He sighed one last time, looked at Fang Yi deeply, and his red robe fluttered as he left like a ghost.

……

"The situation is set, and we just have to wait for Qing Huai to make his move. It depends on whether Senior Brother Xu can spare a hand..."

Fang Yi's eyes were deep.

The spiritual medicine business is dominated by four major players in Fengling Fairy City. Qingzhi Tower, Tiandaowu, and Bishui Pavilion, all backed by Xuanyang Mountain, and the Spiritual Medicine Hall under the name of Jiuqu Zhenren, jointly monopolize the spiritual medicine business.

With his current foundation, even if his cultivation level is further improved, Qingzhi Tower will reach its upper limit.

If you want to expand again in the future, you must advance to the foundation-building stage and open a spiritual medical clinic in other immortal cities.

Otherwise, it is already the limit.

Such a small Yuanling dark square is extremely important.

Putting aside other things, as a black market, it is very normal for strange and poisonous things to appear in Xiaoyuanling.

As the most outstanding spiritual doctor in Fengling Fairy City, Fang Yi is good at dissolving spiritual poisons.

With all the goings and goings, the scale of Qingzhi Building can be expanded a bit more.

……

Outside the cave.

Li Xuan, with his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, was dressed in white. He used his slender fingers to perform hand gestures, extracting, refining, and blending the medicinal properties of elixirs one after another.

Small ginseng grass, five-grass branches, green pine roots...

As several first-level spiritual medicines were added, the aroma of medicine rose from the bronze cauldron.

Li Xuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and stared at the bronze tripod.

Before he came to meet Fang Yi, he had already found out that he was an expert in spiritual medicine.

Therefore, he was well prepared. Although he did not refine a first-level elixir, he had accumulated a lot of experience.

After receiving a second-level spiritual doctor inheritance, he gained some insights and is now not far from stepping into the spiritual doctor threshold.

Li Xuan felt helpless. After much preparation, he only met the Master once.

"Yes, Uncle Fang only asked about his cultivation skills and didn't seem to have any intention of accepting a disciple...

However, if I could refine Xiao Qu Han San, I might be able to impress my uncle-master...

According to information gathered by the elders of the clan, the uncle-master didn't place too much emphasis on aptitude when recruiting disciples. The eldest disciple, Qin Yu, and the second disciple, Huo Zhao, were both cultivators with mid-grade spiritual roots...

And now they have all entered the advanced stage of Qi training..."

Li Xuan was extremely envious of his master who was in the middle stage of foundation building and was proficient in spiritual medicine skills. Among the masters of foundation building in Xuanyang Mountain, he was already a top figure.

With such a master, Qin Yu and Huo Zhao would at least have a spiritual object to build their foundation when they establish their Dao foundation.

“Fortunately, Uncle Fang has a long history with the family, as long as I show enough potential.

Uncle Master will definitely accept me as his disciple..."

Li Xuan encouraged himself in his heart.

"If other monks can do it, I can do it too!
I just need to refine a spiritual medicine. With this as a stepping stone, I can ask Uncle Fang for advice later..."

"rise!"

The magic power in his hands surged and a blue light fell into the cauldron.

Steam was rising from the bronze cauldron as the elixir solidified and turned into an emerald-colored jade paste.

"It's almost done. After so much effort, this Xiao Hua Han San is finally ready."

"boom…"

A muffled sound came from the cauldron, and a burnt smell spread out. The refining of Xiao Quhan Powder failed and turned into black ash.

"Oh no! It's only a hair's breadth away... a hair's breadth away. This little cold-removing powder will be complete.

Then, I will take this elixir with me and ask to see Uncle Fang to give me some pointers. This way, I will be able to leave a good impression in front of Uncle Fang..."

Looking at the gray-black elixir in the cauldron, Li Xuan frowned and took out a bit of ash.

A spiritual light flowed above his nose, and a faint medicinal vapor was evaporated and inhaled into his nasal cavity.

After a while, he activated his magical power and a blue light rolled out, cleaning the cauldron.

"Never mind, it was a momentary mistake. I probably didn't control my mana well enough when adjusting and integrating the medicinal power at the last moment...

Try again! Xiao Quhan Powder must be refined to completion. We can’t let our clan members’ expectations go to waste!”

……

In the mountains not far away, under a lush green cedar tree.

Li Wuhui was dressed in red, looking at Li Xuan, who was calm and serious as he started to brew the elixir again, with sweat on his temples.

She looked at the familiar appearance with a complicated expression, as if she was recalling the scenes in her tribe when she was young.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, is this Li Xuan a descendant of Li Wuhen?"

Gu Jiushang had white hair draped over his shoulders, and he tried his best to restrain his own cultivation energy so as not to reveal any flaws.

He pointed at Li Xuan who was brewing the elixir, and the two young monks Li Yuan and Li Dan who were not far away.

"Master Wuhui, this Li Xuan is the grandson of fellow Daoist Li Wuhen, and possesses mid-grade water spiritual roots. Furthermore, two Qi-cultivating cultivators have also arrived from the Li family: Li Yuan and Li Dan. Their cultivation aptitude is higher than Li Xuan's..."

"In that case... Thank you, Fellow Daoist Gu, for letting me know..."

Li Wuhui had a vague plan in his mind. After he established his foundation, he gave a foundation-building pill to the Li family.

Unexpectedly, the Li family seemed to have bad luck and was possessed by bad luck. There was only one foundation-building pill in the family, and she prepared a foundation-building pill.

Two foundation-building pills, but not a single foundation-building cultivator was cultivated.

"Let's observe him for a while longer. If he's truly a promising talent..."

Li Wuhui shook his head slightly and did not continue speaking.

……

One month later.

"Buzz!"

The large bronze cauldron shook, and a rich medicinal fragrance with a hint of coolness emanated from it.

"I finally made it! With this little cold-removing powder, I finally have a reason to ask Uncle Fang for advice..."

Li Xuan couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and hurriedly took out a jade bottle and put away the emerald-colored medicinal powder in the cauldron.

He was consistent in his goals and demonstrated sufficient value, which earned him attention from Fang Yi, who eventually accepted him as his disciple.

As for the matter of Qianzhi Garden being occupied, he would discuss it after he had built the foundation.

……

Xiaoyuanling, in a deep cave.

A gust of cold wind blew, and dozens of bone puppets, some in the shape of animals and some in human form, were hanging on the wooden wall.

True Man Qinghuai had a pale face, and he looked intimidating without being angry. The vast aura around him filled the cave.

He looked at Bai Shijiu, who was crawling on the ground and trembling, with a look of deep dissatisfaction on his face.

"Bai Shijiu, you said that Junior Brother Hei Xin is missing?!
Such a big thing, why didn't you report it earlier?"

"Master Qinghuai, Uncle Blackheart has always been like this and rarely stays in the inner treasury.

Disciple...disciple also didn't know where he had disappeared...If Master hadn't spoken, disciple wouldn't have known about the death of the black-hearted uncle..."

Bai Shijiu stammered, his eyes evasive, and he was extremely afraid of Qinghuai.

Master Qinghuai's face was ashen, and he had been helping him manage the Xiaoyuanling inner treasury for sixty years.

He usually does things properly and will explain everything clearly even if he leaves Xiaoyuanling.

There has never been such a situation.

If he had not been needed to secretly collect spiritual objects this time, he would not have known that Heixin had disappeared and died.

"Never mind, business is more important."

Master Qinghuai slapped his storage bag, and a white spiritual light flew out, transforming into a token magic weapon engraved with an ancient locust tree picture, and a white jade slip.

The two of them were suspended in front of Bai Shijiu.

"Bai Nineteen, you hold my token and work with Gu Fourteen to prepare the spiritual object in the jade slip.

Ten days, I only give you ten days. Spiritual stones are not a problem, but spiritual objects must be fully prepared.

If you don’t understand, you can ask Gu Shisi, he is Hei Xin’s confidant and knows all about this...”

Bai Shijiu raised his lowered head, looked at Qinghuai cautiously, and said with a bitter expression.

"Junior Brother Gu Shisi, it's been a while since I last saw you...

Maybe... maybe... he also fell."

"boom!"

The sky was surging with huge waves, and Master Qinghuai had a sinister expression on his face, with anger surging in his heart.

"Bone Fourteen is missing too?"

"Yes, of course I haven't seen Junior Brother Gu for several months."

"Good! Good! Good!"

In the White Bone Sect, only the Foundation Establishment Master can light the soul lamp, and the rest of the Qi-cultivating cultivators, even those who are Foundation Establishment seeds, are not worthy of it.

Gu Shisi is missing, and Master Qinghuai has just learned about this.

His expression changed several times before he finally spoke softly.

"Bai Shijiu, you hold my token and are fully responsible for the spiritual object in this jade slip...

One month, as long as you can prepare all the spiritual objects in the jade slip within one month.

Not only will I stop the younger generation who have a grudge against you, but I can also help you build your foundation...

Bai Shijiu, you must have heard that Hei Xin was able to establish his foundation before his Qi and Blood withered thanks to my help...

Black-hearted people are like this, and so are you. After you have established your foundation, just continue to manage the warehouse for me..."

"Gulu..."

Bai Shijiu's Adam's apple moved and he swallowed hard.

"Sure?"

"How can I, a great cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, speak nonsense in front of a junior like you?"

Master Qinghuai saw the fiery look in Bai Shijiu's eyes, and he was very proud. With the promise of helping him build his foundation, he was not afraid that Bai Shijiu would take the bait.
For them, as long as there is a person who has established the foundation to take charge of the inner treasury and collect the spiritual materials needed for cultivation, it will be enough.

As for whether this person is Hei Xin or Bai Shijiu, he doesn't care.

"I am willing to die for Uncle Qinghuai!"

There was not even a ripple in Bai Shijiu's heart. If Qing Huai had valued him in the past, he would have been grateful and would have worked for Qing Huai wholeheartedly.

But now he already has a teacher, and this situation was all planned by his teacher. How could Bai Shijiu dare to have any second thoughts?

……

An hour later, Bai Shijiu bent his body and walked out of Master Qinghuai's cave, which was filled with gusts of cold wind and rich spiritual energy.

After returning to his own courtyard, he used his magic power to crush the concentric jade in his sleeve.

He was looking forward to it.

"Master Yin Gu, you must win. My life and property depend on you..."
