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

Chapter 899 Change of Wind Direction, Huo Zhao Condenses the Pill

"Uncle Lai Chimei trusted Fang Yi, and Fang Yi had an old friend who had lived in Dayu for a long time and had some relationship with Hu Yuzhao, the Grand Master in charge of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce."

Fang Yi bowed respectfully, and then spoke amidst the increasingly fervent gazes of the assembled cultivators.

"Afterwards, disciples may visit the Icefield Four Seas Merchant Guild headquarters to resolve the sect's urgent needs."

"The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce?"

Red Eyebrows responded in a low voice, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

If we could establish a connection with the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, that would be the best option in the Great Yu.

Merchants pursue profit, and although the branch of the Great Yu Immortal Cultivation Association has a Nascent Soul True Monarch in charge, it is not the headquarters of the Four Seas Merchant Guild.

Compared to major Nascent Soul sects like Medicine King Valley, Blood Fiend Sect, and Fire Worship Sect, Xuan Yang Mountain faces the fewest restrictions.

"it is good!

Well done!

"Thank you for your hard work, my nephew Fang Yi. Please feel free to ask if you have any requests."

Red Eyebrows swept over the cultivator with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, wearing a blue cloud-patterned robe, on the futon, and praised him, his eyes gleaming.

During the day, he recognized the pink communication talisman as similar to Li Lingxuan's previous communication talismans and assumed it was just a female confidante.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yi was able to contact the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce through an old friend from the Dayu Su Nu Sect.

"Serving the sect is my duty," Fang Yi said with a humble expression and graceful demeanor, like a refined gentleman.

"So be it, I'll record this as a merit. My breakthrough has depleted eighty or ninety percent of the sect's secret treasury's resources. As for the remaining spiritual items, Fang Yi, since Yin Yue values ​​them, I suppose you won't care about them."
"After you've gained something from the vast ice plains, Fang Yi, you can come back to exchange it."

Chi Meizi hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"Now that I have advanced to the Nascent Soul True Monarch level, Xuan Yang Mountain has gained support, but it is still insufficient compared to the Fire Worship Sect, which has been passed down for thousands of years."

The various traditions of alchemy, talisman, array, and weapon crafting are still at the third-tier level, and everything is in need of revival.

I can deduce the art of weapon crafting on my own and hope to complete it, even to the fourth rank. But my foundation in alchemy, talismans, and arrays is far too weak.

Fang Yi!

"The disciple is here!"

"If we can use the power of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce to obtain the inheritance of all the arts of immortal cultivation, we can make up for the deficiencies in alchemy, talismans, and formations in our sect."

"The price for this demonic beast can be negotiated down sufficiently." Crimson-browed Zi, surrounded by purple aura, instructed in a deep voice:

"Do not focus on short-term gains. Only by establishing a lineage within the sect and cultivating cultivators skilled in all arts can we ensure a continuous flow of knowledge that benefits future generations."

"This disciple will remember," Fang Yi bowed and replied.

He knew perfectly well that Xuan Yang Mountain was in dire need of reconstruction, and the Nascent Soul True Monarch's dominance in the region was both a guarantee of military strength and the foundation of everything.

However, if one wants to establish a foothold in the vast icy plains, only a Nascent Soul True Monarch can guard the sect.
not enough!

One must have sufficient financial resources and ample experience in the various arts of cultivating immortality.

Hunting monsters and then selling them is only a temporary solution.

To solidify one's foundation, one must cultivate spiritual fields, mine spiritual ores, and ultimately refine magical artifacts, talismans, elixirs, and formations independently.
"kindness?

This energy is…

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the gate, where a blazing aura appeared in the distance.

"Buzz!"

A crimson glow appeared on the horizon, accompanied by wafting fragrance.

In the blink of an eye, I landed on the bluestone path in front of Chaoyang Pavilion.

Wu Hua has a graceful figure, with her long hair half-loose, a blood coral hairpin inserted diagonally, and a gold tassel in the shape of a nine-tailed fox tail hanging down. A soul-capturing bell hangs from her bare ankle.

"Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling."

Accompanied by melodious bell sounds, a rosy light spread beneath her feet, and in an instant, she landed on the last empty prayer mat, a burst of brown spiritual light shooting out from her sleeves.

"Old man, I have successfully completed my mission this time."

"."

Red Eyebrows waved his sleeve, gathering brown spiritual light as his thoughts raced.

A quarter of an hour later, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and he said:

"Wu Hua, you have done a great job this time."
It is truly a blessing from heaven for Xuanyang. First, my junior brother Fang Yi killed the Demon King of Jiehuqiu, and then we made contact with the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

"Finally, you've come back with this treasure again."

Red Eyebrows glanced at the fake Core Formation cultivators in the hall, as well as the few Core Formation cultivators from the branch lineage, and his heart tightened slightly.

Those not listed on the Golden List and whose interests are not tied to Xuan Yang are not entitled to know confidential information.

He hesitated for a moment, then looked at the dozens of cultivators in the ceremony and spoke:

"Fang Yi, when is the date you've set for your meeting with the Sihai Chamber of Commerce?"

"Reporting to my master, I have arranged with Li Wu Hui of the Su Nu Sect to travel to the Four Seas Merchant Guild in three months."

Fang Yi's eyes darkened slightly as he withdrew his gaze from the brown jewel-like light.

If I wasn't mistaken, the treasure light contained an ancient scroll with faintly engraved feng shui symbols.

He was curious that the Xuan Yang Mountain Ice Plain was so dangerous that even the Fire-Swallowing Turtle, the last hidden force, had been activated.

Wu Hua, a Grandmaster at the late Core Formation stage, never showed his face from the beginning to the end of the demon tide.
What major situation caused the delay?
"Li Wu Hui?"

Following Fang Yi, on the futon symbolizing the Core Formation True Person of the Five Extremes Peak lineage, Xiao Changce carried the Five Flavors Pot of Spiritual Treasures on his back, with a small and exquisite spirit snake wrapped around his neck, and his expression was strange.

He looked at Zhang Hengyi and murmured to himself.

If I remember correctly, the Li family lineage of Qianzhi Garden was left behind by my senior uncle Li Lingxuan.

Years ago, they were inexplicably drawn into a secret realm, and Fang Yi was involved in it.

'Back then, Master was already a Grand Master, yet he personally intervened in this matter; there must be a secret behind it.'

Xiao Changce's thoughts raced, and he seemed to be deep in thought, but he did not delve into it further.

Since Master Guang Sheng has erased this matter from my and Heng Yi's knowledge, let's not delve into it further.
To avoid dredging up old grievances.

Among the three lineages of Xuan Yang Mountain who had reached the Core Formation stage, he was the oldest and had served Huang Guangsheng for many years. He was well-versed in the sect's secrets, and apart from the Crimson Eyebrow True Lord, he was the only one left.

There are some minor matters that even the Crimson Eyebrow True Lord, when he was still a Core Formation True Man, often secluded himself and blocked his Qi, so he might not have known them as clearly as he did.

'Master Uncle Li Lingxuan's journey to Dayu back then was not voluntary.'
Instead, they settled for second best, unable to compete with Master Guang Sheng and Uncle Tian Que who supported Uncle Chi Mei.

If he hadn't signed the legal contract to suppress his cultivation path, he might not have been able to leave Xuan Yang Mountain.

His expression froze as he felt a hidden yet intense gaze descend upon him, carrying a warning.
Xiao Changce smiled bitterly to himself. The fact that he could be warned by dozens of True Immortals in the hall speaks volumes.

He immediately focused his gaze on his nose and his mind, remaining calm and still, no longer letting his mind wander.
The grudges among the older generation, along with the passing of Tian Quezi and Huang Guangsheng, and Li Lingxuan's departure to Dayu, all faded away.
Do not let the younger generation get involved, as this will only cause more trouble.

Seeing that Xiao Changce was sensible, Chi Mei withdrew his gaze, regardless of what relationship Li Wu Hui had with the Li family.

As long as it benefits Xuan Yang Mountain, there's no need to pursue it further.

As for the Li family's affairs, it all boils down to that one evil lineage: the "Celestial Transformation Technique."
Fang Yi's tastes may be a bit unique, but as long as it helps to supplement the Xuan Yang Mountain's heritage, he can not only tolerate it but also conceal it from Yin Yue and Yu Ji of the Hehuan Sect.
Amidst the strange atmosphere, Chi Meizi continued to speak.

"Ten days is not a long time. You should step down as soon as possible and make preparations to reach an agreement with the Sihai Chamber of Commerce."

"Observing the flow of the spiritual veins across the vast ice plains, and the changing feng shui, it is not far from advancing to the fourth tier."
Before that, Xuan Yang Mountain must solidify its foundation!

"Yes, I obey the Supreme Elder's decree!"

A quarter of an hour later, watching the immortals file out and leave, only a few dozen futons remained in the empty hall.

On the altar, Chi Meizi unfolded the ancient brown map from his sleeve and murmured softly:
"An opportunity has fallen from the sky, not to be missed." "The Heavenly Witch Jade has begun to flow out of Xishan, selecting Qi Refining disciples with the number nine or nine to raise Gu."

Hengyi, that child, has fallen into the path of witchcraft and ritual; Musheng and Qingzhu have been corrupted by the five grains; Changce and Jian have gone astray; they are almost no longer human.
Fang Yi is less of a worry, but his cultivation progress is still a significant issue.

Chi Mei rubbed his tightly furrowed brows and sighed softly.

The greater the strength of the Grand Masters of Xuanyang Mountain, the stronger they are. Whether it is Fang Yi, Zhang Hengyi, You Xishan, or Wu Hua, they are all first-class figures in the Grand Master realm.

However, the problems it brings are getting bigger and bigger.
Eighty-one cultivators with the potential to reach the Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining stages, including many direct descendants of the four major lineages and true bloodlines, could not be easily tormented. As Gu worms, they were fighting for their lives.
Zhang Heng's immersion in the path of witchcraft and rituals, specifically the worship of ancient witch spirits, was not entirely wrong; it was through this practice that witchcraft practitioners advanced to the Nascent Soul realm.
Rushing into intervention could easily backfire.
Although Fang Yi wields a high-grade third-tier puppet and possesses the combat power of a Great True Person, his mana sustain at the fifth level of Core Formation is far inferior to that of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator.

As the leader of the Nascent Soul sect, Xuan Yang, he ultimately fell short by a single point.
"Alas, I wonder what has become of my two junior brothers, Tianque and Guangsheng."
The three Venerables of Xuanyang knew each other for over four hundred years, but in the end, only I remained.

The more Chi Mei thought about it, the more his head ached.

None of the three successors of the Daoist tradition have easily solvable problems.
The Evergreen Palace is surrounded by vitality, with its verdant light occasionally emanating through the gaps, nourished by pure life force.

Even in the biting cold, the area within a hundred feet of the main hall is covered with lush grass and swaying green bamboo.

Hendon
Fang Yi gazed at the disciple inside the Five Poison Cauldron, whose upper body was bare and whose skin was covered with silver runes.

"Zhao'er, water overflows when it is full."

"Once you are settled within the sect, you may begin your secluded cultivation, adjusting your state to its peak, and attempt to break through to the Core Formation realm in ten days."

"Yes, thank you for your care, Master!"

Huo Zhao's face was resolute. He exhaled a breath of turbid air, activated the Four-Nine Mystic Technique, and his crimson blood essence soared into the sky.

The previous attempt to break through the barrier was interrupted, so I did need three breaths to adjust my condition to its best.

"Boom!"

His heart pounded like a drum, and spiritual energy gathered from all directions, forming a vortex in the Evergreen Hall.

The vortex spun, with faint flashes of electricity appearing, and spiritual energy continuously accumulated, transforming into a misty spiritual essence.

"good."

Fang Yi nodded slightly, looking at the silver phoenix talisman that was quietly lurking on Huo Zhaodao's foundation.
Immediately, a blue light flowed from beneath his boots, and he left the side hall, the heavy doors slowly closing behind him.

"Crunch."

As he watched the final crack in the gate close, Fang Yi's face showed satisfaction, and he murmured to himself.

Once Huo Zhao successfully breaks through to the Golden Core stage, he can collect the "Great Medicine" and cultivate the "Four-Nine Mysterious Technique".
Then go to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce to exchange for the elixir.

Life, death, decay, and prosperity forge a first-grade golden elixir; the Four-Nine Mysterious Technique refines the elixir's quality, and it too cannot be inferior.

Chiyang Cliff.

The Crimson Dragon Smoke Furnace transformed into a ten-foot-long vessel, burning with cinnabar fire and exhaling spiritual energy, while Zhu Huan held a jade gourd beside it.

"Um?

Huo Zhao went into seclusion; has Fang Yi truly mastered such pure blood essence and foundation?

Wu Hua's slender, delicate hands kneaded a fragrant lump of clay, and with the release of her magical power, fragrant patterns spread like those of a blooming mandala.

A three-foot-long stick of incense, exuding a pure and cool aura, gradually took shape.

She gazed at the undisguised crimson aura of blood in the Changqing Hall, her phoenix eyes slightly closed, concealing the glint in them.

Then he looked toward the Ancestral Hall, where rows of people in hempen robes and rattan hats, with heads full of silver hair, appeared as phantoms of ancestors performing Nuo dances to worship heaven and earth.
"Is there such a strange lineage in the path of witchcraft and ghosts?"

Having paid such a high price to obtain the Spirit-Sealing Nourishing Incense, what exactly does Junior Brother Hengyi want?
The old man also whispered to me, "Let things take their course. What secrets lie behind this?"

“That’s all.
Just
With the addition of a Nascent Soul True Monarch to the sect, the Grand Masters should each employ their own methods to plan for their future cultivation paths.

Wu Hua's lips curled slightly, his gaze indifferent; he had expected this all along.

"The great path values ​​contention, and each employs their own methods. Xishan, Hengyi, Fangyi, and Bengong."
I wonder how many cultivators of my generation can achieve the perfect Core Formation and even glimpse the Nascent Soul realm.”

Ten days later.

In the Changqing Hall, the azure lotus banner was unfurled, transforming into a vast sea of ​​lotus blossoms that concealed the fierce aura within the hall.

Inside the main hall, the sound of gears turning echoed repeatedly.

Fang Yi sat cross-legged on the altar, and a crimson blood pool appeared in front of him. A deer-shaped monster lay horizontally, and life force naturally gathered, inducing the growth of plants and trees, with fluorescent ancient ferns flourishing.

Even in death, the demonic body of the deer-like creature instinctively gave rise to a vibrant green tide.

"Edict!"

Fang Yi's expression was solemn, and a mudra that was neither round nor flat appeared between his brows.

As each magical seal was cast into the Azure Wood Spirit's body, the fierce and demonic aura slowly faded, leaving only pure wood elemental power. "Buzz!"

The Azure Wood Spirit Trembled, and the Void Realm's Withering and Flourishing Banner transformed into a large, gnarled Toona sinensis tree. With the changing seasons, the Daoist rhythm flowed, scattering streams of withering and flourishing Daoist rhythms.

Spring
Summer
autumn harvest
Finally, it collapses before the chill of winter sets in, and the cycle repeats itself. The meaning of winter's hibernation of all trees is completed in each collapse.

Fang Yi used the withering and flourishing of plants and the true meaning of the Daoist transformation to continuously nourish the body of the Deer Demon Child, awakening its vitality and nurturing its blood essence.

Runes of magic flowed through the jade-like bones of the Azure Wood Spirit Demon, constructing meridians and generating magical restrictions.
"Buzz!"

As the surging magical power poured into it, the aura of the Azure Wood Spirit Demon was concealed, its powerful aura completely hidden by its dark blue fur.

It's done.
"Once we exchange it for spiritual items at the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, the Azure Wood Spirit Demon can be used to create a spirit puppet."

Fang Yi's eyes were deep and unfathomable, like a bottomless pool.

He has a deep background and is extremely wealthy, but he lacks a trump card to decide the outcome.

Now that they have obtained the remains of the Tiger Hill Demon King, which can be refined into a high-grade third-tier Tiger Hill puppet, this Deer Demon Child naturally wants to refine it into a spirit puppet to accumulate trump cards for the future.

"Sihai Chamber of Commerce"

Fang Yi's gaze swept over Yuan Hai, who was covered in bone armor, and the three-zhang-tall, fierce-looking Tiger Hill remains.

"Everything is ready except for the elixir. I hope Li Wu Hui can get things done."

"Huo Zhao, it's starting."

Lotuses bloom and fade beneath his feet. He stepped out of the main hall and floated in the clouds.

"boom!"

The fiery blood energy increased again, transforming into a magnificent canopy that cascaded down with crimson essence.

"Buzz!"

A streak of crimson light descended upon the azure clouds. Xu Qingshe gazed at the pure vitality within the Changqing Palace, her face showing worry.

"Senior Brother Fang, isn't Zhao'er being a little too hasty in her efforts to form her core?"

"When water is full, it overflows. Zhao'er's three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit have been nurtured to their peak. If she doesn't form her core, her condition will only continue to decline."

Fang Yi sensed from afar the silver phoenix pattern on Huo Zhaodao's foundation in the Changqing Palace, which had been painstakingly refined.
'The fruit can finally be picked.'

He was overjoyed, for if a cultivator could use the Four-Nine Mysterious Technique to condense a golden core, then the technique would be flawless.

This would replenish his magical power, allowing him to further enhance his combat abilities.

"Boom!"

A massive vortex swirled above the Evergreen Palace, devouring spiritual energy from all directions, while a blazing aura surged ever higher.
"coming."

With a wave of his sleeve, Fang Yi sent Xu Qingshe, Li Heng, and Qin Yu retreating on the azure clouds beneath his feet, avoiding the approaching tribulation clouds.

"After rebuilding his core, I wonder what grade of Golden Core Junior Brother Huo will be able to condense," Li Heng said in a low voice, holding the Vast Ocean Pearl and feeling the tremor of spiritual energy.

His gaze, however, was fixed on Changqing Palace.
