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

Chapter 171 Three Ingredients
"Boom!"

Gu Jiushang didn't even wait for the monk in front of him to answer. His magic power rose and bronze light gathered in his hands.

A punch was sent towards the heart, brain, neck and other vital parts of the cultivator in the cave.

"Snapped!"

The monk in black robes calmed down his demon pet with a thought.

Then, his muscles and bones vibrated slightly, and he used his palms as swords to easily block Gu Jiushang's several attacks.

"Physical training?"

Gu Jiushang frowned.

He couldn't understand how a physical cultivator could break into the cave where he had set up a top-grade formation.

Feel the aura of cultivation displayed by the black-robed monk.

Gu Jiushang's brows relaxed, and then murderous intent surged.

"First-level top-level physical cultivation?
Although I don’t know how you sneaked into my cave, but since you saw something you shouldn’t have seen, I have no choice but to send you on your way.”

A gray evil aura permeated the cave.

As Gu Jiushang's magic power circulated, a shadowy figure of a Taotie with the head of an ox and the body of a horse, with wolf fangs and sharp claws, appeared behind him.

"boom!"

The shadow opened its mouth and roared, and Gu Jiushang's aura rose again.

"Clang clang clang!!!"

The fists and palms collided, and the gray light and the golden light collided.

Although it was a physical collision between two physical cultivators, the sound of metal clashing could be heard continuously in the cave.

It was obvious that Gu Jiushang and the black-robed monk in front of him had both tempered their bodies to the extreme.

Punch, palm strike, finger thrust, kick.
The two monks fought more and more fiercely, and every part of their bodies was covered with gray or golden spiritual light. Even when they attacked with all their strength, the power was no less than that of a top-level spell of the next level.

puff
The palm blade with golden ripples collided with the fist wrapped in gray air.

"not good!"

Seeing that the aftermath of the collision was about to break through the magic circle of his own cave, Gu Jiushang cried out inwardly, "Oh no!"

He didn't bother to continue fighting with the monk in front of him. A flash of light appeared on his feet and he moved backwards, trying to get rid of the entanglement.

But the black-robed monk smiled slightly.

The palm knife in his hand turned into a claw, and the golden light on the claw became three times brighter, and continued to grab Gu Jiushang's throat.

"Damn it!"

Feeling the power of this claw, Gu Jiushang knew that if he failed to block this attack, his life would be in danger.

His magic power surged, and the shadow of Taotie behind him became more solid.

Finally, it transformed into a gray animal-headed kitchen knife in his hand.

The kitchen knife chopped down lightly, but with a strong sense of devouring.

"clang!!"

The huge sound of metal clashing echoed, and the aftermath of the collision between the two finally shattered the protective formation.

Gu Jiushang showed despair on his face. Once Song Qinghe knew about his cultivation level, he would have no chance at all.

"Ok??"

White clouds and mist surged, and a small space of formation was formed, blocking the fluctuations of spiritual energy generated by the fight between the two.

"call!"

Gu Jiushang breathed a sigh of relief and stopped what he was doing.

"What does this mean, fellow Taoist?"

The black-robed monk smiled lightly and released his hidden aura.

"Gu Daoyou, you don't even recognize me?"

Feeling the cultivator in front of him, the aura around him was like that of a withered spiritual tree, but there was a sense of growing stronger with age.

Gu Jiushang looked surprised.

"It's you, Taoist Ku!!!"

Fang Yi nodded slightly.

After the Seventh Ring was advanced to the second stage, the bloodline of the ancient true spirit Tianpeng beast awakened again.

Its earth escape technique has some spatial capabilities, and it can already carry cultivators with it when escaping.

Fang Yi used this earth escape method to sneak into Gu Jiushang's cave.

The purpose of suppressing his physical training and engaging in a tentative fight just now was to test the quality of his talent.

Let’s see how well I’ve refined the spiritual materials for the living puppet for the first time in hundreds of years.

Refining living puppets requires the most precious and rare talents.

The remaining auxiliary rituals require a lot of spiritual materials, which are enough to refine a second-level puppet alone.

Fang Yi was very satisfied with the test results.

Gu Jiushang is indeed the foundation-building seed of Xuanyang Mountain. Not only does he have top-grade spiritual roots, he also has an excellent understanding of spiritual cooking.

This spiritual chef's forbidden technique, "Xuan Tao Hundred Days Banquet", has been cultivated to perfection at the first level.

All that is left is the final Xuan Tao Feast, and then you can advance to the foundation-building stage using this method.

Fang Yi communicated with the golden mark left by the "Heart Puppet Technique" in his own sea of ​​consciousness.

An old and hoarse voice sounded
"Gu Daoyou, who else could it be if not this old man?"

Gu Jiu looked at the monk in front of him sadly, and felt a sense of familiarity, remembering the agreement he had made with him.

With a surge of magic power in his hand, the gray animal-head kitchen knife turned into gray mist and scattered away.

He sensed the golden mark in his sea of ​​consciousness and laughed at himself.

"Yes, with this puppet secret technique, it's normal for you to sense my situation."

Gu Jiushang had clearly noticed his growing fondness for the withered Taoist priest, who looked like a seventy-year-old. Fang Yi didn't care about Gu Jiushang's reaction, or perhaps it was this reaction that was the most valuable aspect of the Living Puppet Secret Technique.

The humanity and thoughts of this living puppet are preserved so that it can practice independently, unlike ordinary puppets that can only rely on the slow practice of cultivators.

But because of this, Fang Yi will not show his true appearance until the living puppet is fully trained.

Even though the "Mind Puppetry Technique" has been completely successful and left a solid mental imprint, people's hearts are fickle, so you should still be careful.

Fang Yi's spiritual consciousness penetrated into Gu Jiushang's body, exploring the specific changes that occurred under the "Heart Puppet Technique" inch by inch.

After a while, he withdrew his consciousness and asked.

"Brother Gu, our purpose is already known to both of us, so I won't waste any more time on this.

Fellow Daoist Gu, how do you plan to choose the three main ingredients for reaching the second level of this forbidden culinary technique, "Xuan Tao Hundred Days Banquet"?

Are there any specific goals?"

When Gu Jiushang thought of his friend who was killed, hatred flashed in his eyes.

He pondered for a moment, and under the long-term subtle influence of the "Heart Puppet Technique", he completely trusted the monk in front of him.

He took out a jade slip that recorded "Xuan Tao's Hundred-Day Banquet" from his storage bag, his tone a little embarrassed.

“Brother Ku Dao, this “Xuan Tao Hundred Days Banquet” is a forbidden culinary technique. Although it is incredibly powerful, the last three main ingredients have very high requirements.

At least one second-grade flesh and blood is required. As for the grades of the three main materials, every additional second-grade flesh and blood will increase the grade of the foundation for forging the Tao by one.

My cultivation is limited, and I haven't even prepared a single main ingredient."

Fang Yi took the ancient jade slip and probed into it with his spiritual sense to browse it carefully.

After a while, he spoke.

“According to the records in the jade slip, you use the flesh and blood of half-demon cultivators as the soup base.

Now, the best ingredients for these three are a Foundation Establishment Master, a Level 2 Demonic Beast, and finally a Level 2 Half-Demon."

“Brother Ku Dao is absolutely right, but I am only a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi training. How can I be a match for a cultivator at the foundation building stage?

But we haven't gathered even a single piece of the main material?"

Gu Jiushang looked grim.

He is now a quasi-second-level spiritual chef. Cooking the Xuantao Hundred-Day Banquet is not a big problem for him, but the main ingredients are too rare.

"Brother Ku Dao, I no longer expect to have such a high-quality banquet.

I only hope to exchange the flesh and blood of a second-level monster in Qingzhu Mountain to complete the lower-level Xuan Tao Feast."

Thinking about the fighting power that this Taoist priest had demonstrated, Gu Jiushang pleaded.

"I hope Fellow Daoist Ku can lend me a helping hand."

Fang Yi shook his head slightly. This living puppet spiritual material with top-grade spiritual roots was so rare and precious.

If one were to use the flesh and blood of a second-level monster to build a foundation, one could only create a low-grade foundation.

With such no potential at all, there is no possibility for him to advance to the Jindan Zhenren realm, or even become a great cultivator in the late foundation building stage.

Since this concerns his own potential in refining living puppets, Fang Yi will never allow it to be wasted.

Middle-grade Taoist foundation!

The talent of this living puppet must be of middle-grade Dao foundation. This is Fang Yi's bottom line.
He patted the storage bag.

A yellow spiritual light flashed, and then the corpse of a rock rat the size of a calf, emitting the pressure of a second-level monster, appeared in the cave.

"Damn Taoist, is that you?!
You killed this second-level rock rat! How is that possible? You are only a first-level cultivator."

Gu Jiushang's face was filled with shock.

Having been recruited to Qingzhu Mountain for several years, he knew firsthand how difficult it was to deal with these second-level rock rats.

The earth-attributed monster is known for its thick skin and flesh. The rock rat is also good at escaping underground, and it will disappear at the slightest sign of trouble.

The foundation-building master of Qingzhu Mountain tried many times to injure the second-level demon rat, but it escaped every time and could not be killed.

He originally thought that this second-level demon rat was killed by the secret foundation-building cultivators sent by Xuanyang Mountain.

I never thought that it was this monk in front of me, surrounded by a withered aura.

Fang Yi smiled slightly without explaining.

He displayed his hidden second-level body refinement skills. A terrifying aura surged, and along with the scorching blood and energy, it filled the entire cave.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, do you think this second-level rock rat suits your taste?"

Gu Jiu muttered to himself from the wound.

"Second level body refining? If it's done intentionally, then it's possible."

Then he straightened his clothes and bowed his head.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Ku for advancing to the foundation-building stage. He has now reached the age of four centuries. May you enjoy a long and healthy life and a long and prosperous path to immortality."

Fang Yi laughed.

Looking at his own living puppet, he was also quite pleased. Although they were family members and did not speak with each other, he still bowed in return.

"Thank you for your kind words, does this second-level monster's flesh and blood suit your taste?"

The gray spiritual light in Gu Jiushang's hand flowed, turning into wisps of mist, slowly seeping into the flesh and blood of the rock rat.

Half a minute later, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Brother Ku Dao, the flesh and blood of this second-level monster is perfectly preserved. Apart from the head, there is not a single scratch. It is a top-grade spiritual ingredient for cooking the Xuan Tao Feast.

With the help of spiritual materials of this quality, and two other top-grade main materials, I have a 90% chance of achieving foundation building."

Fang Yi shook his head slightly, and seeing Gu Jiushang's puzzled expression, he began to explain.

"For the three main ingredients used in your forbidden cooking technique, 'Mysterious Hundred Days Banquet,' the best choices are three complete second-level cultivators and three demonic beasts.
This is related to your future cultivation foundation, but most of the second-level half-demons are in Nanli Country, so we have to settle for the second best. This other main ingredient must be a second-level cultivator."

Looking at Gu Jiushang's shocked eyes, Fang Yi's tone was a little playful.

“How about using Song Qinghe for the other second-level ingredient?
He has just forged his Dao foundation not long ago, his life span is long, and his Qi and blood are fresh. With the help of this ingredient, Fellow Daoist Gu should have the possibility of forging a mid-level Dao foundation."

Gu Jiushang was greatly encouraged.

"really??!!"
