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

Chapter 513: The Wuyang Book of Formation, Cultivation Breakthrough (Three-in-One)

There were two jade slips, one of which was surrounded by a yellowish-brown aura, and carried a faint warmth.

The other jade slip was completely turbid, with dark green and gloomy winds swirling around it.

"pick one of two?"

Zhang Hengyi frowned slightly, glanced at Fang Yi, and then probed his spiritual sense into the jade slip.

After a stick of incense, his mouth moved slightly, performing a method of secret sound entering the ears.

'Junior Brother Fang, the two third-level formation inheritances handed over by True Man Jiuqu are both of the lower third-level grade.

One is the way of Wu Earth, which emphasizes the Yang of the earth; the other is the way of Ji Earth, which extends the Yin side of the earth.

Which inheritance are you interested in, nephew?

Fang Yi was hesitant.

The art of formations is extensive and profound. The thirteen states in the human world have a long history and have produced many geniuses.

There are many types of formations, such as the psychedelic formation, the defensive formation, the offensive formation, and the inheritance formation.

The study of the third-level formation inheritance, like spiritual practice, is also related to the foundation accumulated in the early years and the research on the first and second-level formations.

The two are connected and have the same properties, so practicing becomes easier.

Qijie is a third-order earth-attributed monster, and its demonic power is also biased towards the power of Wu Earth.

But the bloodline of Qijie comes from Tianpeng Beast, and this beast has mastered both Wu Earth and Ji Earth.

Moreover, without seeing the specific inheritance of the formation, it is difficult for Qijie to determine which inheritance is more suitable for it.

"trouble!"

Fang Yi murmured in his heart as he glanced over.

Master Jiuqu had a gloomy face and a murderous look.

If Zhang Hengyi were to decide on the inheritance of the formation art himself, it would arouse hatred and cause serious consequences.

After a brief pause, Fang Yi's words did not move, but he heard them in Zhang Hengyi's ears.

Zhang Heng hesitated for a moment, then set his gaze on Master Zi Dian standing beside him and waved his sleeves.

“I have only been practicing for a short time, and I don’t know much about the sect’s inheritance.

Junior Brother Zidian, please decide which of these two inheritances you prefer."

"I?"

True Man Zi Dian's face was slightly shaken as he took the two jade slips.

He glanced at Fang Yi and understood what was going on. He pointed his finger and two rays of light fell on the jade slip.

Lines of ink emerged, moving like dragons and snakes, revealing the articles in the jade slip in the air.

The seven spiritual thoughts in the spirit pet bag were constantly communicating with Fang Yi. After a few breaths, Fang Yi used the method of secret sound entering the ears.

True Man Zi Dian was shocked and pointed at the jade slip that was glowing with warmth.

"Brother Hengyi, this array formation inheritance is very similar to the [Earth Array Origin Book] within our sect.

How about we choose this inheritance?"

"The Book of Earth Formation? The quasi-third-level inheritance of our sect?" Zhang Hengyi felt it slightly and showed satisfaction on his face.

"Junior Brother Zi Dian is right."

Zhang Heng glanced over and saw that Fang Yi was normal. He waved his hand and sent the two jade slips back to Master Jiuqu.

"I'd like to ask Daoist Jiuqu to lift the ban on the inheritance of the [Wuyang Book]..."

True Man Jiuqu had a blank expression on his face. He pointed his finger and cast a spell.

"Buzz!"

The warm jade slip, surrounded by the spiritual power of Wu Earth, fell in front of Zhang Heng.

"Fellow Daoist Hengyi, please return my useless juniors to me."

Zhang Hengyi put away the jade slip that inherited the Wuyang Formation Book.

Immediately, he waved his sleeves, and dozens of green vines threw out the bound Lin Jue and Liang Qu.

Jiuqu stretched out his hand and activated his magic power. The gray spiritual light turned into a soft spiritual cloud, catching the two of them.

His face looked uncertain.

"Fellow Daoist Hengyi, where are Li Chenzi and Wu Li?"

Zhang Hengyi said, "Fellow Daoist Jiuqu, you are still missing a wood attribute magic weapon and a third-grade low-grade spiritual material."

Jiuqu Zhenren frowned, his face showing dissatisfaction. "I, Jiuqu, have condensed the True Pill and dominated the world of immortal cultivation for hundreds of years. Do you think you can still deny your debt?"

"Fellow Daoist Jiuqu, please give me the magic weapons and spiritual materials. Li Chenzi and Wu Li will naturally be handed over to you..."

Zhang Heng's mind moved slightly, and Li Chenzi and Wu Li, who were bound by thick ancient vines and fell into a coma, were dragged up by a green cloud.

"Humph!"

True Man Jiuqu snorted coldly and suppressed the little thoughts in his heart.

The wood-attributed magic weapon and the third-grade low-grade spiritual materials have to be discarded.

But a magic weapon that is about to break the magic ban is still a magic weapon, and a spiritual object that barely enters the third level is still a third level spiritual object.

Now Zhang Heng has two fake elixir fighters, Li Chenzi and Wu Li, under his control. True Man Jiuqu cannot take any risks, lest he lose the big picture for the small one.

He slapped the storage bag, and two green lights, one thick and one thin, flew out.

The aura dispersed.

The rich green light transformed into an ancient sword with a green wood handle and a black copper blade.

The slightly pale green light transformed into a bamboo branch-like spiritual material that glowed with jade light.

"The magic weapon Green Blade Sword made of third-grade ironwood, and the third-grade low-grade spiritual material Green Bamboo Branch..." True Man Jiuqu waved his sleeves, and the two treasures fell in front of Zhang Hengyi.

"Fellow Daoist Hengyi, it's time to bring Li Chenzi and Wu Li back."

Zhang Heng smiled and shot out two rays of light.

"Zheng!"

With a clanging sound of sword, a treasure ban appeared on the Green Blade Sword.

The green bamboo branches move without wind, and the vitality turns into green clouds.

"good!
Fellow Daoist Jiuqu, I will return Lichenzi and Fellow Daoist Wuli to you."

Zhang Heng said solemnly.

"How Fengling Fairy City handles things is not my business.

But Daoist Jiuqu, remember, if this happens again next time, where the strong bully the weak, I won’t be the only one here.”

True Man Jiuqu had a gloomy expression and clenched his fingers.

He swung his sleeves, and a brown light appeared, collecting the four disciples and descending towards Fengling Immortal City.

After this battle, the Jiuqu lineage suffered a great loss of face, and the foundation-building families at the junction of Fengling Fairy City and Xuanyang Mountain must have been in turmoil.

Moreover, the Wind-Splitting Formation, the defensive formation of the Immortal City, was destroyed, and a wood-attributed magic weapon and a third-grade low-quality green bamboo branch were also lost.

The loss was so devastating that even with his hundreds of years of cultivation, it was heartbreaking.

“Fellow Daoist Jiuqu, my Xuanyang Mountain is the ruler of the Dayun Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Bishui Pavilion?
Oh, fellow Taoists, please do it yourself."

The ancient vines tightened, and Song Yunlang and Jiao Yuan, who were hanging on by their last breath, turned into bloody mud. Zhang Hengyi's warning was obvious in his words.

The brown spiritual cloud paused slightly, and continued to descend towards Fengling Fairy City carrying Jiuqu Zhenren.

Three days later.

The ruins in the center of the fairy city were being worked day and night by thousands of Fengling Guards.

Once again, a courtyard with a vermilion gate, pavilions, white walls and green tiles was built.

In the cave, spiritual energy was thick and full of vitality, but the atmosphere was heavy and silent.

"Well, explain the whole thing to me.

What did I do to make Fengling Fairy City the target of Zhang Hengyi's power after he condensed his golden elixir?

True Man Jiuqu had a gloomy expression.

Zhang Hengyi got hold of the evidence and attacked him, causing him to suffer heavy losses. He still only knew the general idea of ​​what happened.

Li Chenzi changed into a high-quality robe embroidered with ancient mountains and peaks, and he smiled bitterly.

“Brother Jiuqu Dao.

Fang Yi's disciple Li Heng established his foundation in Qingyuan Market with great fanfare.

Song Yunlang seemed to think that he had a high-grade Dao foundation, so he joined forces with the Bishui Pavilion, Tiandaowu, Hehuan Sect, and Baigu Sect to attack."

“I never thought that the foundation-building vision was fake, and the bait-fishing was real.

Fang Yi was a man of great scheming and had made a hidden move. Song Yunlang and Jiao Yuan from Bishui Pavilion were captured.

The junior fellow student went to rescue him, intending to follow the old rules and establish Fang Yi's authority.

What happened afterwards was just as Brother Dao saw."

"Top-grade Dao foundation? Xuanyang Mountain has inherited this for thousands of years, and now only Zhang Hengyi has condensed this top-grade Dao foundation.

Song Yunlang has truly lost his mind." True Man Jiuqu looked helpless.

"If he truly had a top-grade Dao foundation, how could Xuanyang Mountain place Li Heng in Qingyuan Market, which is only a few days' journey from us?

This clearly shows Zhang Hengyi condensing his golden elixir and casting bait directly on the hook, looking for someone to establish his authority!"

"That's it!"

True Man Jiuqu sighed slightly.

"Jiuhan, Hulei, Guangsheng, Tianque, plus Zhang Hengyi, are already five Jindan True Immortals.

Yan Youtai of Sudu Mountain is also not far from Ningdan.
There are six Jindan True Immortals in one sect. From now on, when you act, do not engage in direct conflict with Xuanyang Mountain.
The Bishui Pavilion has the support of several forces in the Dayu Kingdom and has a strong foundation.

But my Fengling Immortal City has limited resources and cannot afford to get involved in the conflict between these two factions."

"Yes, I will follow Brother Jiuqu's orders!"

Li Chenzi, Wu Li, Lin Jue and others bowed together and spoke respectfully.

After everyone left, Huang Yanzi looked hesitant and embarrassed.

“Master, in just less than two hundred years, Xuanyang Mountain has produced two Jindan Zhenren, Jiuhan and Zhang Hengyi, as well as Yan Youtai who is about to achieve Jindan.

With Xuanyang Mountain growing so strong, I'm afraid that the days of Fengling Fairy City will become even more difficult."

"Yan'er, don't be anxious." Jiuqu Zhenren saw Huang Yanzi's gloomy face.

"We are all so anxious. In the early days, the Bishui Pavilion relied on the three Jindan masters in the sect to compete with the three masters Xuanyang Tianque, Hu Lei, and Guangsheng.

Now, there are two Jindan Zhenren in Xuanyang Mountain.
Hey, isn't Jade Pearl Master, who is in charge of the Bishui Pavilion, extremely worried?"

Jiuqu Zhenren's eyes gleamed with brilliance. "With three against five, how could the Bishui Pavilion possibly win?
Yan'er informed Bishui Pavilion of the news that Zhang Hengyi was not at a disadvantage in the fight with me.

I have no intention of interfering in the affairs of the two families now."

"Not at a disadvantage?"

Huang Yanzi looked hesitant. The establishment of Fengling Fairy City was thanks to the great contribution of Jiuqu Zhenren.

If the reputation of True Man Jiuqu were to decline, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of Fengling Fairy City as a holy place for independent cultivators.

"Yes!" True Man Jiuqu nodded slightly.

"Yan'er, it's just a little fame.

Let's see what price Bishui Pavilion can offer. It's a blessing in disguise this time."

"Yes! Disciple obeys the order!" Huang Yanzi bowed and retreated respectfully.

In the silent and deserted cave, True Man Jiuqu's expression changed from gloomy to bright and he sighed softly.

“Even if there are no Nascent Soul cultivators in Xuanyang Mountain, they are still too powerful.

The Dayun Immortal Cultivation Realm cannot accommodate such a behemoth."

Qingyuan Market.

Purple lightning lingered, and the majestic Dakong Zhenyun Boat was suspended above it.

On the splint, Zhang Heng waved his hand to send Master Zi Dian away, and handed the [Wu Yang Formation Book] and the Green Bamboo Branch to Fang Yi.

"Junior Brother Fang, this [Wu Yang Formation Book] and the Green Bamboo Branch are my investment in you.

Later, I will also exchange the [Cang Yuanzi's Discussion on Small Medicines] in the sect for you.

However, Junior Brother Xiao Lie needs you to take care of the matter yourself, as my nephew wants to take the position of Sect Leader."

Fang Yi bowed and thanked

"I understand, Master-nephew. I will always remember your kindness for your help this time."

Zhang Hengyi nodded slightly, a hint of admiration appearing in his eyes.

If it was a few days ago, the reason why the Great Sky Shocking Cloud Boat was driven was because Li Heng had forged a top-grade Taoist foundation.

For the sake of the future Jindan Zhenren and Xiao Changce's face.

After the battle at Fengling Fairy City, he became more optimistic about Fang Yi's future.

He activated his magic weapon, simulated the formation of the Dan domain, and with the help of the same meridian method, he activated the quasi-third-level medical secrets. This alone was enough for Fang Yi to fight with the Fake Dan Zhenren to save his life.

What's more, there is a demon pet whose cultivation is not far from the perfection of the second level.

Zhang Heng's eyes fell on the spirit pet bag on Fang Yi's waist, and his words were gentle.

"Brother Fang, cultivators like me have long life spans and do not fight for fleeting pride.

If you wish to claim the position of Sect Leader, you only need to fight Junior Brother Xiao Lie. Master and I will shoulder the pressure from the Jindan True Masters within the sect.

But by the same token, Junior Brother Xiao Lie has the support of Master Tianque, so Master Guangsheng and I are unable to help you."

Fang Yi said resolutely. "Don't worry, Senior Brother. I will never attack Xiao Lie unless I am absolutely sure."

"That's the best." The Dakong Zhenyun Boat turned into a purple light and rushed towards Xuanyang Mountain like lightning.

In the evening, the silver moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars are twinkling.

In Qingyuan Market, in Bizhu Courtyard, the jade bamboos sway and the winter wind blows withering.

True Man Zi Dian stepped into the backyard, looked at Fang Yi in the stone pavilion with a helpless look on his face, and walked a few steps to the pavilion and sat down.

"Junior Brother Fang, the matter of Qingyuan Market is over. After Senior Brother Hengyi established his authority, no cultivator without a clear vision would come to the market to seek death.

Senior Brother Yan has been waiting at Sudu Mountain for a long time."

"Brother Zidian, don't worry. Come and taste the Chimei Spirit Tea that my disciple presents to you."

Fang Yi took out a set of tea sets made of spiritual jade and carefully refined from his storage bag.

"puff!"

He rubbed his two fingers together, and a little green fire emerged from his fingertips, igniting the charcoal under the tea stove.

The green true fire slowly licked the bottom of the jade pot.

"Gulu.Gulu"

Steam rises up, and the faint fragrance of tea lingers in the stone pavilion.

Fang Yi lifted the jade pot, and crystal water splashed everywhere. The boiling hot spiritual spring water poured down, brewing the tender green in the jade cup.

Setting his gaze on Master Zi Dian, Fang Yi handed over the jade cup and said leisurely.

"Brother Zidian, don't worry. Come and try my cooking skills."

True Man Zi Dian shook his head helplessly, took the teacup, tilted his head back and drank the spiritual tea in one gulp.

"Junior Brother Fang, my senior brother is in a hurry, why don't you come with me to Sudu Mountain?"

"No hurry, no hurry." Fang Yi tilted the jade pot and poured out the light golden tea again.

"Brother Zidian is spending so much effort so that Brother Yan can take care of the family after he condenses his pill, right?
So, what do you think of me, Senior Brother? Do I have a chance of becoming the leader of Xuanyang Mountain?
How does it compare to Master Xiao Lie?"

"Junior Brother Fang, what do you mean?" True Man Zi Dian suppressed his impatience and fell into deep thought, with a gleam in his eyes.

"."

"."

After an incense stick of time, seeing Fang Yi adding spiritual spring water into the jade pot again, Master Zi Dian spoke helplessly.

“Junior brother, you can barely fight against the fake Dan Zhenren by using the magic weapon to perform the Jindan domain.

His fighting ability is even worse than mine, not to mention that he can compare with Senior Brother Xiao Lie.
Senior Brother Xiao Lie practices the Way of Fire, and in terms of combat ability, he's even better than Huang Yanzi from Fengling Immortal City."

"If I have the support of Grandmaster Guangsheng and Uncle Hengyi, I wonder if Uncle Zidian would be willing to lend a hand."

Fang Yi showed up at his wit's end, intending to recruit Master Zi Dian.

When he went to Sudu Mountain, in order to get the third-level spiritual vein, he would inevitably have to fight with fake Dan Zhenren from all sides.

Even with Yan Youtai's help, which cultivator who can cultivate to the level of fake elixir does not have friends and support?
True Man Zi Dian has been practicing in Sudu Mountain for sixty years and is a real local tyrant.

If we can win over Master Zi Dian.

Fang Yi then used the Yimu Tongmai method to connect the power of the three treasures: the Five Poison Cauldron, the Blue Lotus Treasure Flag, and the Ruins Realm Withering and Flourishing Banner.

The secret art of medicine was pushed to the quasi-third level. When the two of them joined forces, they were the most powerful force under the Jindan Zhenren in Sudushan.

In this way, planning the spiritual vein becomes several times easier.

After all, no matter whether it is the ghost of a corpse or the cultivation of the body, they cannot be seen in the light.

Once it is exposed, everything including the Hanling Secret Realm and the death of the Wei family in Changle Valley will be implicated.

Master Zi Dian hesitated for a long time, but finally gave in.

Whether it is to condense a fake pill or to refine the body to break through the quasi-third level, the path will be cut off and it will be difficult to make further progress.

He worked so hard, using the status of Fake Dan Zhenren to please Yan Youtai, ultimately so that his family could get some care.

If Fang Yi could take the position of the head of the sect, he would also be willing to humble himself.

But not now!

As a fellow fake pill cultivator from Xuanyang Mountain, he knew too well how tough Xiao Lie was.

"If Junior Brother Fang can get the support of Master Hengyi and Master Guangsheng,
Then, Junior Brother, come find me again."

"Then Senior Brother Zi Dian, please wait and see." Fang Yi smiled slightly and drank a cup of spiritual tea.

"Brother, please wait for a moment. I will give my disciples some instructions and then immediately depart for Mount Sudu."

After saying that, Fang Yi stood up leisurely, knowing what he was doing.

'Xiao Qi has inherited the third-level formation technique, the [Wu Yang Formation Book]. Zhang Hengyi will definitely let Yang Xuanyi learn the formation technique.

And also promised a [Cang Yuanzi Small Medicine Theory], this third-level inheritance was sent to
As long as Zi Dian cares about his family, he will not miss such an opportunity.'

Xuanyang Mountain.

A sacred mountain rises high into the clouds, with lush pines and bamboos on it, the rocks are silent, and spiritual objects are entwined.

"arrive."

The runes of the Great Sky Shock Cloud Boat flowed, the purple lightning converged, and slowly fell towards the Ancestral Hall.

In the ancestral hall.

Xiao Changce was wearing a red flame robe, surrounded by red flames, which sometimes turned into precious lotus and sometimes evolved into spiritual beads.

He had a cool and handsome temperament, and gently stroked the crystal clear little snake with love in his eyes.

"Junior Brother Hengyi is back. What's the situation in Fengling Fairy City?

Is the matter of my disciple Fang Yi settled?"

"Brother Xiao, I intend to support Junior Brother Fang in taking charge of Xuanyang Mountain."

Zhang Heng was surrounded by vitality, like a towering spiritual tree, with strands of green light emerging.

"kindness?

Junior Brother Hengyi, didn’t you advise me earlier not to interfere in this matter, lest Senior Brothers Tianque and Hulei be unhappy?

Xiao Changce held the crystal clear little snake in his arms and pressed it against his skin.

There was curiosity in his eyes.

"What happened to cause Junior Brother to change his mind?"

Zhang Heng looked at Xiao Changce, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.

"Senior Brother Xiao is very lucky to have a disciple with a high-grade foundation, which has benefited the sect's resources.

Now, nephew Fang Yi has shown his talent in medicine in Fengling Fairy City, and he is expected to become a third-level medical master."

"Third-level medical master?"

Huang Guangsheng, wearing a linen robe and barefoot, stepped into the ancestral hall.

He looked strange.

"Hengyi, is what you said true?"

Zhang Heng nodded slightly, waved his sleeves, and raised a photo-recording bead.

Looking at the pearl, Fang Yi performed the Five Lotus Nourishing Qi Method and the Xuanzhi Ascension Method, and Huang Guangsheng's eyes showed memories.

"Using foundation-building cultivation, you can perform a quasi-third-level medical secret technique?"

He was a little emotional.

"Fang Yi is similar to me. Three hundred years ago, I was also like this. My spiritual plant cultivation had reached the quasi-third level.

Later, with the support of your master, I was able to forge the true elixir."

Xiao Changce's face lit up with joy. "Master, what's the matter with you that day?"

"Follow the rules!" Huang Guangsheng's powerful aura flashed by.

"Fang Yi has such talent, and we as the elders of the sect cannot ignore it.

But the matter of becoming the sect leader involves many things. If Fang can succeed, everyone will be happy.

If that doesn't work, then take him back to the Grandmaster Hall and let him retreat. It's also possible to condense a fake pill."

Suidu Mountain.

In the mysterious cave, between the pavilions and waterside terraces, there are leisurely sounds of stringed instruments and dozens of graceful maids swaying their waists and singing and dancing.

Yan Youtai looked at Yi in front of him with a look of delight on his face.

"Junior Brother Fang, I have waited so long for you to finally come."

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother." Fang Yi gave a bitter smile. "Junior Brother, I was in Qingyuan Market and was attacked by Li Chenzi from Fengling Fairy City.

Now, thanks to the power of Uncle Hengyi, I have finally been able to resolve this issue. Please don’t blame me, Senior Brother.”

"It's alright, thank you for your help, Junior Brother. However, it will take some time to collect the spiritual medicines and the blood essence of the monsters.

Junior brother, go to the cave to practice first."

"Thank you for your concern, senior brother." Fang Yi bowed and walked out with the respectful Xuanyang Guard.

After Fang Yi left, Yan Youtai looked gloomy.

"Zhang Heng has condensed the golden elixir once, and the same sect has condensed two elixirs. I wonder if Fang Yi has other ideas."

He sighed slowly, looking unwilling.

"Life span, if it weren't for my life span, I might be able to condense the golden elixir."

He waved his hand and sent out a jade talisman.

After a few breaths, Chu Xiang, who was wearing bronze armor and had already advanced to the foundation-building stage, stepped into the garden and knelt down to pay his respects.

"I am Chu Xiang, the humble servant, and I pay my respects to the master. What are your wishes?"

Yan Youtai's hoarse voice rang out.

"How's the collection of quasi-third-level beast blood going?"

Chu Xiang felt a pang of pain in his heart, and spoke cautiously. "Master, Jade Pearl of the Bishui Pavilion seems to know that you collect animal blood.

She declared that anyone who dared to take the blood of the beast would be an enemy.
So, so, I only collected half of it."

"Half portion?"

Killing intent emerged in Yan Youtai's eyes, silver light flowed around his body, and a huge aura pressed down on him.

“Who leaked the news?”

Chu Xiang spoke cautiously. "I don't know."

"waste!"

Yan Youtai snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and swung out a force.

Chu Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground, did not dare to resist and allowed the force to throw him onto the stone wall.

"Speed ​​up the collection of other spiritual objects. As for the matter of the quasi-third-level beast blood, I'll go find Uncle Lei."

Two years later, Zi Guangyuan.

The spiritual energy was thick, and a small silver-white beast was fiddling with the formation plate in its hand. Brown runes flowed with the meaning of mountains.

In the cave.

The banners of withering and flourishing in the ruins are waving.

Fang Yi's face was withered, and the energy in his body was hidden. As the [Life and Death Sutra] was circulated, the energy kept changing.

It seems to be withered but not withered, it seems to be flourishing but not flourishing.

The blue-gray magic power continuously circulated in the eight extraordinary meridians, passed through the twelve floors, and turned into spiritual liquid and fell into the Dantian Qi Sea.

"Crash!"

The surging magic power surged, and like a natural result, Fang Yi's energy was rising.

The eighth level of foundation building.

A gleam of light appeared in his eyes, and the aura of ancient green trees and eternal youth emerged around Fang Yi.

"The eighth level of foundation building, the foundation building realm is almost at its end."

"Hmm? Junior Brother Xu? Is there any news about the spiritual vein?"

Feeling the familiar aura, Fang Yi waved his sleeves and stepped out of the cave.

In the Zi Guang Courtyard, Xu Qingshe looked at Fang Yi coming over with a look of delight on her face.

"Brother Fang, our chance has come!"
