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

Chapter 898 Each with their own calculations, a deal is reached.

"."

The octagonal stone pavilion was silent and deserted, with only the howling of the cold wind remaining.

Fang Yi scanned the area within a thousand feet with his divine sense, but found nothing.

He frowned slightly, tightened his grip on the pink and gold intertwined communication talisman in his hand, and understood.

This Li Wu Hui has likely made great progress; this is a test, a probing exercise.
"If you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink a penalty shot."

The six-pointed plum blossom phantom in Fang Yi's eyes flashed by, while the withered and flourishing pearl in his sleeve spun around.

This Pearl of Withering and Flourishing, as the true copy of the Sutra of Life, Death and Withering, can be inscribed with a fourth-order inheritance, and must have originated from the hand of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Even with only the Six Paths Treasure Restriction, the enhancement of his senses was still considerable.

"found it"

Fang Yi extended his long, slender hand, which shimmered with a soft, jade-like light, and then gently pressed down a foot.

"boom!"

The dim, yellowish magical power transformed into a giant handprint that slammed down, sending snowflakes flying and shattering ice crystals.

A strange purple shadow swept past, and the beautiful female cultivator landed barefoot on a weathered rock.

"Fang the Turtle, you've been gone so long and you're already so ruthless. You really have no regard for our past friendship."

"Old love?"

Fang Yi slightly closed his eyes, concealing the sharp glint in them, and sensed the undisguised Yin energy emanating from Li Wu Hui.

"From yang to yin, and then from yin to yang, fellow Daoist, your progress in the Great Law of Transformation of Heaven and Man is remarkable."
but"

With a wave of his sleeve, the Azure Bodhi Branch shot out like a dragon, emitting verdant spiritual light as it lashed down.

"Snapped!"

"clang!"

The gilded needles were extended by slender fingers, and twelve needle shadows in succession transformed into a straight golden line.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Looking at the shattered Hundred Wood Azure Dragon Whip, Fang Yi reached out and made a grasping motion, and the Void Realm Withering and Flourishing Banner appeared in his hand.

"Qingluo Net"

He channeled his magic power, and thirty-six brown vines spread out, like the breath of serpents, attacking the alluring yet sinister creature.

"Buzz!"

"When old friends meet, why be so ruthless, fellow Daoist?" Li Wu Hui's black hair flew wildly as he stepped out barefoot, transforming into twelve afterimages.

Her silvery laughter rang out, accompanied by her ghostly figure, moving with effortless grace amidst the serpentine vines.

Good posture

Fang Yi slowly opened his eyes, suppressing the killing intent in his heart. If he could capture Li Wu Hui alive...
Why bother continuing to associate with her?

Having cultivated the Great Law of Heavenly Manifestation to this level, one can transform yang into yin, and then yin into yang, comprehending the transformations of heaven and man.
Only if a Grandmaster at the peak of Core Formation were to intervene would there be any chance of capturing Li Wu Hui.

With a wave of his sleeve, Fang Yi sent a ray of blue light into the frozen earth, where tender green branches grew and wove together two futons and a wooden table.

"Please, Fellow Daoist Li."

Thinking of Cao Lianting, who had also cultivated the Great Law of Heavenly Manifestation in his previous life, his heart twitched slightly, and then he sat down with a flick of his robe.

"Old turtle Fang, you're still so heartless. We've known each other since we were nobody, don't you have any feelings for each other at all?"

The graceful female cultivator sat down, her slender, fair hands, white with a hint of pink, caressing Fang Yi's cheek.

"Snapped!"

Fang Yi slapped down his delicate fingers, his brows furrowing slightly.

We're just casual acquaintances?

They kill each other over trivial matters!
"Get to the point."

Fellow Daoist Wu Hui has joined the lineage of Huanxi Zhenjun of the Su Nu Sect, and his future is bright.

"You must have encountered some trouble to come looking for me?"

He patted his storage bag, and a tea set carved from spirit jade was taken out, with crystal-clear spiritual spring water pouring down from the yellow gourd.

"Oh!"

A spark of true fire ignites the inky black charcoal, and the spiritual spring in the jade pot gradually steams.

Xuan Yangshan was going to relocate to Dayu and settle in the vast ice plains, so naturally he would not be completely ignorant of the many major religions of Dayu.

Besides, there's also the favor Li Lingxuan owes.

If the millennium-long plan fails and Xuan Yang collapses, the bonds of camaraderie among fellow disciples will naturally be exhausted. However, with Chi Mei condensing his Nascent Soul, the situation is quite different.
Even though she was a Nascent Soul True Monarch's Daoist partner, Li Lingxuan was still a Core Formation True Person. How could she possibly abandon her 'family' Nascent Soul True Monarch?

In Fang Yi's storage bag was a list of cultivators from the Great Yu faction, sent by Li Lingxuan's disciple.

Li Wu Hui is listed among the most beautiful women, possesses outstanding cultivation, and has made a considerable name for herself. Among her admirers are many powerful cultivators in the late stage of Core Formation.
Fang Yi was resolute.

As a disciple of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, the fact that she came to seek him out instead of her admirers suggests something significant must have happened.
"Humph!"

Seeing the handsome cultivator before him, whose demeanor was gentle and refined, and who was focused on brewing spiritual tea, Li Wu Hui couldn't help but snort coldly, his eyes brimming with spring water and a look of regret.

“Fellow Daoist Fang, if I were to send a message informing True Monarch Chimei of Xuan Yang Mountain that you are a remnant soul of a Nascent Soul who has possessed my body.”
I wonder what will become of Hui Zhenjun?

"A remnant soul of a Nascent Soul possessing another body?"

Fang Yi looked bewildered and asked in a daze, "What are you talking about, fellow Daoist?"

"Old man, still so cautious!"

Li Wuhui looked regretful as the photo-capturing bead slipped from his sleeve, abandoning his intention to take a photo and extort money from the victim.

Immediately, the purple haze surrounding his graceful body dissipated, revealing his frankness.

Sensing the clear aura emanating from the female cultivator at one end of the wooden table, where no external power flowed, Fang Yi nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Fellow Daoist, we have known each other for many years and have a certain understanding. As long as the price is right, I will lend a hand."

As for the remnant soul of a Nascent Soul seizing another body?

He smiled and continued speaking.

"I have been cultivating on Xuan Yang Mountain since childhood. Starting from Qianzhi Garden, I passed the inner sect examination and became a disciple of Master Xiao Changce of Yuping Peak."
Later, he was recognized by Patriarch Guang Sheng, and his lineage was impeccable; how could he be a soul possessing a Nascent Soul cultivator?

Fellow Daoist, please don't joke.
"Which cultivator on or around Xuan Yang Mountain would believe the ramblings of a traitor like you?"

"Humph!

"You've been cultivating your power for two hundred years, you old fool, you're ruthless!"

Li Wu Hui felt a chill in his teeth, and the gold hairpin with the memory stone inlaid in his temples was no longer subject to the law.

She truly couldn't understand why a Nascent Soul old monster's remnant soul would be willing to cower in this tiny corner of Xuan Yang Mountain for a full two hundred years.
That's two hundred years!

Even a True Immortal who has reached the Core Formation stage has a lifespan of several two-hundred-year periods.

In the end, Fang Yi actually succeeded in betting on treasures in the land of exile, Dayu, and became the leader of the Nascent Soul Sect.

Thinking of his own situation, Li Wu Hui sighed inwardly, wishing he could know about this matter.
Given her background, she would have a chance to be listed among the core members of Xuan Yang Mountain after achieving the Core Formation.

However, she looked down on sects that only had one or two late-stage Core Formation cultivators and no Nascent Soul True Monarchs in charge, so she came to Dayu to seek further advancement.

"I will need your full assistance in the future to seek a great opportunity."

Li Wu Hui patted his storage bag, and several beams of spiritual light fell, transforming into three jade boxes.

"Crack!"

The apricot-yellow sealing talisman on the jade box spontaneously combusted without wind, and the box lid was pushed open three feet.

Two fragrant jade fungus plants, a jet-black spiritual seed, and a three-legged, two-eared azure medicine cauldron were among them.

"A top-grade third-tier jade blood nourishing spirit mushroom, a near-fourth-tier black peach wood spirit seed, and a medical treasure called the Azure Spirit Cauldron with five protective restrictions."
What do you think, Fellow Daoist Fang?
"Given the barrenness of the Great Cloud, every spiritual item here will be of great benefit to you, fellow Daoist."

"All I need is for the old monster to help me with this matter, and for me to sign a legal contract."

Li Wu Hui unfolded a magic contract covered with tiny characters, and golden light emanated from it.

A near-fourth-tier spiritual seed, a mid-grade medical magic treasure, and two top-grade third-tier spiritual herbs.
Fang Yi's gaze swept over the three spiritual treasures, and he exclaimed, "As expected of the Great Yu, the cultivation civilization is flourishing, and spiritual treasures are abundant."
Even the Great Master Da Yun might not be able to retrieve such rare spiritual plants and precious medicines, yet you, fellow Daoist, at the sixth level of Core Formation, can easily retrieve them.”

"pity."

He shook his head slightly, extended three beams of spiritual light from his index finger, closed the sealing jade box, and then tilted the jade pot, letting the crystal-clear spiritual spring water brew a touch of tender green in the teacup.

The rising steam reflected Fang Yi's indistinct face.

"not enough!"

Li Wu Hui's heart sank; this was the worst-case scenario he had anticipated.

The three treasures—a top-grade third-tier jade blood nourishing spirit mushroom, a near-fourth-tier black peach wood spirit seed, and the Cangling Cauldron, a medical treasure with five protective restrictions—were all carefully selected by her.
Even in the Great Yu Dynasty, each one was enough to move the Great Master to take action.

But Fang Yi was truly unmoved?
Her delicate brows furrowed, and she bit her red lips lightly. "Old monster, don't go too far."
The spiritual veins of the vast icy plains have been upgraded through the creation of heaven and earth, making it difficult for Nascent Soul True Monarchs to intervene.

Hu Yuzhao, the Grand Master in charge of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, Li Tan of Medicine King Valley, Jun Huai Jianzi of the Suspended Sword Sect, and Ji Kui of the Blood Fiend Sect are all my friends.”

"Then why don't you ask them to help?"

Fang Yi smiled faintly, then extended his index finger, drawing out a wisp of purple wood elemental energy from the medicinal field of the withered and flourishing blessed land, mixed with the energy of more than twenty third-tier precious mushrooms.

"Fellow Daoist Wu Hui, I have no shortage of spiritual herbs."

"A near-fourth-tier spirit vine?! Does the Great Cloud's place of exile still have such a spiritual object?" Li Wu Hui's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints as he asked in disbelief.

"Da Yun also has a near-fourth-tier spiritual vein, which can nurture spiritual plants of this rank?"

wrong"

She tentatively spoke. "It's that spendthrift brat Yin Yue, who possesses the spirit of the Fortune lineage!"
Only she has the wealth to forcibly nourish a near-fourth-tier spirit plant with high-grade spirit stones.”

Fang Yi smiled without saying a word, his mind racing.

'It seems that some high-ranking Grand Masters of the Su Nu Sect are aware of the matter concerning Yin Yue's Dharma Body.'
However, the search for a Daoist partner for Yu Ji was conducted without the assistance of the Su Nu Sect. The sect's records indicate that Yin Yue's foundation was damaged during the last opening of the Jianyang Secret Realm, which was largely due to the Su Nu Sect's machinations.

Indeed, the Jianyang Secret Realm is full of opportunities, but it is also accompanied by dangers.
The Hehuan Sect is ultimately a branch; how can it compare to the Daoist body of the Great True Person of our sect?

With a breath, Fang Yi drank a cup of spiritual tea, and his mind began to work, gaining a clearer understanding of Yin Yue's situation.

In terms of wealth, Yin Yue, who possesses a lineage of good fortune and spiritual essence, must have gained a great deal in the Jianyang Secret Realm.

Two near-fourth-tier spiritual plants were taken out, and more than twenty precious plants of the third tier or above were given away.
Once the sect's position is stable on the vast icy plains, you can try contacting Yu Ji.
That fellow Daoist's ability to condense a Golden Core is exceptional; he doesn't seem like someone willing to be manipulated by Yin Yue.

'But you're so attentive.'

"Name your price, you old man!"

Li Wuhui's face darkened when he saw Fang Yi boiling water and drinking tea on his own.

I've always been at a disadvantage when I run into this old man; I've never gained the upper hand.

Fang Yi's gaze swept over the gilded legal contract on the wooden table. A smile played on his lips, and his demeanor was gentle and refined, like that of a gentleman.

"A third-tier superior-grade Dharma contract, a generous gift from Fellow Daoist Wu Hui."
but"

He reached out and pushed the gleaming golden magic contract, along with the three spirit-sealing jade boxes, back in front of Li Wuhui.

"However, this matter is not urgent."
Xuan Yang Mountain is still unstable and has just experienced a beast tide. It urgently needs elixirs and spiritual objects for cultivation, to set up formations, and to refine magical artifacts.
The Red-Eyebrowed True Lord was worried and troubled by this.

As the sect leader, he was unfamiliar with the place and people of Dayu, and was also a disciple of the Xinjiao Sect.

"Humph!"

Li Wu Hui's expression darkened slightly. After a moment's thought, she parted her lips slightly and exhaled a breath as fragrant as orchids.

"I am unable to provide the elixirs and spiritual items needed for the cultivation of over ten thousand cultivators."
"Old Turtle Fang, say something practical!"

"No, Fellow Daoist Li, no."
But the Four Seas Merchants Association, with its "trade connecting the world, everything available for sale," still possessed such capabilities.
"A Grand Master in charge, if he were to use his full power, would be able to mobilize such a spiritual object."

Fang Yiyan smiled and brewed a cup of spiritual tea, then pushed it in front of Li Wuhui.

The spiritual items needed to refine the puppet, and the precious medicines for cultivating the Four Nine Arcane Arts.
The demonic beasts slain in the demonic tide were all killed by forces with sufficient strength that were not afraid to offend the Fire Worship Cult.

There are forces within the Great Yu that possess this strength and are willing to intervene.
The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, rumored to be connected to the legendary great cultivator of Qiongzhou, is the first choice.

Regardless of whether the Plain Maiden Sect, Medicine King Valley, or Suspended Sword Mountain are willing to step forward, the Fire Worship Sect will inevitably intercept and kill them.
The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is different; it has some connection with the legendary Grand Master, even if it's only a slight one.

This was enough to deter the Zoroastrians from taking action easily.
not to mention
The first batch of demon-related spiritual herbs from Sudu Mountain will arrive soon.
Therefore, selling it to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce would prevent them from using it as a pretext.

Fang Yi closed his eyes slightly. The Crimson-Eyebrowed True Lord was willing to allow the Sect Leader to go out while Xuan Yang Mountain was in dire need of reconstruction.

It's right here.
The demon tide killed over a thousand demon beasts, including many near-third-tier and third-tier demon kings.

However, given the resources of Xuan Yang Mountain, they are already overfed and urgently need to find a stable channel to sell the flesh, blood, and fur of the demon beasts.

Upon learning that Li Wu Hui was acquainted with the Grand Master in charge of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, Fang Yi immediately made up his mind.

No matter what conditions she sets, it will not change.

"Is that Hu Yuzhao from the Sihai Chamber of Commerce?"

Li Wu Hui pondered for a moment, gripping the teacup, his expression shifting.

Merchants are driven by profit, and even with a good relationship, persuading Hu Yuzhao of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is no easy task.

This was already part of her plan.
However, when Fang Yi was lured into the trap and had to continue to add to his bets, it became a new temptation.

It's truly displeasing to be forced into this situation so easily.
Looking at the handsome young man who remained calm and silent, Li Wu Hui sighed inwardly.

"Being pressured by that old man, I acted too hastily, and Fang Yi saw through my deception."
Just
Compared to the path to enlightenment, let this old tortoise enjoy his moment of triumph.

"can!"

She squinted as she spoke.

"As Fellow Daoist Fang said, I will introduce you to the Jade Illumination Grand Master of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce."

They will also help fellow Daoists complete transactions.

It just so happens that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is based in the icy plains, and is under the command of the Jade Immortal.

However, after this matter, I want to see your sincerity, Old Monster.

‘It’s done! ’

A look of joy flashed in Fang Yi's eyes, but he immediately suppressed it.

Li Wu Hui still needs his help, so he will definitely do his best to push Xuan Yang Mountain and the Si Hai Chamber of Commerce to reach a deal.

As for the general trend afterward.
Within the Su Nu Sect, Xuan Yang Mountain still possesses a top-tier connection.

It is said that True Lord Xuanling and True Lord Hehuan are at odds and belong to two different lineages, but they are truly adversaries, which is why they understand each other better.

"It's a deal!"

"A word is settled"

Li Wu Hui snorted coldly, then transformed into a pink streak of light and disappeared. It would take quite a bit of effort to arrange a meeting with Hu Yu Zhao.

It will be necessary to use the women under her wing.

His face showed disgust, even though he cultivated the Great Law of Transformation of Heaven and Man, beyond the essence.
He was ultimately a man at heart.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Wu Hui was willing to cooperate with Fang Yi.

Although Fang Laoguai was treacherous, cunning, ruthless, and merciless, there was no lust in his eyes that she found utterly repulsive.
"I hope my wish will come true," Fang Yi shook his head slightly and murmured softly.

Even if the beast tide wins, it will only be the beginning for Xuan Yang Mountain to gain a foothold in Dayu.

Even a fool would know that Zoroastrianism would vehemently oppose it.

"However, his mind was not completely distorted by the [Celestial Transformation Technique], and he was not transformed from a man into a woman."

Li Wu Hui has a promising future and has not yet reached a dead end.

"The interaction between Heaven and Man, the growth of Yin and Yang, and the understanding of the changes of Yin and Yang are all important, but the Daoist heart must not waver."
Once their resolve wavers, they cease to be cultivators on the path to immortality and become neither male nor female monsters.

There is absolutely no way to overcome the Nascent Soul's inner demon tribulation.

The lingering sound faded away, and with a wave of his sleeve, he vanished as a streak of azure light.

An hour later, the azure light pierced through the wisps of purple mist and landed in the Chaoyang Pavilion on the spiritual peak.

"Crack!"

The heavy doors slowly opened, and steady footsteps sounded.

"Tread! Tread! Tread!"

Fang Yi was tall and straight, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

His jet-black hair was tied up with a jade crown, and he wore a blue robe, like a pine tree on a cliff, a plum blossom in the snow, deep and majestic.

He was filled with doubt as he watched the eager gazes of his fellow disciples.
The conflict between Wuji Peak and the lineage of the Ancestral Hall presided over by Zhang Hengyi is now out in the open.

In the past, these Core Formation cultivators and pseudo-Core Formation cultivators did not act this way; very few could maintain neutrality.

The cultivators at the ninth level all favored Zhang Hengyi, who had inherited the ancestral hall's more than a thousand years of heritage.
How come their attitude has changed 180 degrees now?

Fang Yi gazed thoughtfully at Chi Meizi, who sat cross-legged atop the seven-tiered altar.

There is only one cultivator in Xuan Yang Mountain who can drastically change the attitude of the True Person in the sect.

He stopped before the altar, bowed slightly, and paid his respects.

"Fang Yi pays respects to the Crimson Eyebrow True Lord."

"Um"

Chi Meizi stroked his long eyebrows, turning his gaze away from Zhang Hengyi, who was dressed in a shaman's robe. His face softened with kindness as he asked with concern:
"Did you find any powerful forces on your trip, willing to trade with our sect and provide pills and spiritual items?"

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

During the grand ceremony, the cultivators on their prayer mats cast their gazes down, their eyes burning with fervor.

Those who can enter Chaoyang Pavilion are not the disciples of the four main lineages, such as Li Heng, Qin Yu, Zhu Huan, and Huang Daiyue.

These are the true masters of the Hu Lei and Jiu Han lineages.

Even at the very least, he was still a pseudo-core cultivator with a wide range of cultivation skills, and he had gained a lot from the demon tide.

However, it also consumes a lot of top-notch talismans and pills, which would be difficult to obtain if only the alchemists and talisman masters of Xuan Yang Mountain were to replenish them.
A rough estimate suggests that it will take at least ten years.

Among the cultivators present, none were fools. The demonic tide had only receded and could return at any moment.

Even without a comeback, searching for spiritual herbs across the vast icy plains would require replenishing resources and repairing magical artifacts and treasures.
A force that can reliably provide elixirs and talismans is of paramount importance.

Even Zhang Hengyi, who was on the futon playing with the broken horn of the Ice Armor Dragon Lizard, opened his eyes and looked at Fang Yi in surprise.
He offered sacrifices to his ancestors, connected with the spirit seal of the great shaman of the Jumang tribe, and also needed various spiritual objects.
'Does Qingyangzi have such connections in the Great Yu?'

Fang Yi was lifted up by a gentle force, and without any hesitation, it was truly a time to win people's hearts.

"Did the sect leader find a way out so quickly?"

Amidst the fervent, incredulous gazes of the assembled cultivators, he spoke in a deep voice.

"Thanks to the trust of my Uncle-Master Lai Chimei, Fang Yi."
