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

Chapter 23: Cultivation Breakthrough (Please Read!)
Li Qingsong estimated and spoke.

"The spirit bones of this low-grade demon beast are cheap. One piece costs three spirit stones, and five pieces cost fifteen low-grade spirit stones."

"A first-grade, mid-grade demon beast spirit bone is a bit more expensive, costing thirty low-grade spirit stones."

"After deducting the discount and rounding off the decimals, plus the spiritual materials from before, Brother Fang will give me 72 low-grade spiritual stones."

Fang Yi knew that the price of the monster's spirit bones was indeed much cheaper, but his own spirit stones were still a little short of that.

After thinking for a while, he took out a jade bottle from the storage bag and handed it to Li Qingsong.

"Fellow Daoist Qingsong, I wonder how many spirit stones this item can be used to deduct."

Li Qingsong opened the jade bottle and a fragrance filled his nose.

"Spiritual honey? I don't know what kind of spiritual bees produced it, but it's actually the highest quality, first-grade spiritual honey."

"Brother Fang, what a great opportunity!"

"I wonder if you have royal jelly. I'm willing to buy it for twenty spirit stones."

Fang Yi shook his head and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I got this spiritual honey by chance, but now it seems that I am not lucky enough to enjoy it."

Although the honey of this ordinary spirit bee is of high quality, it has been blended and will not arouse suspicion.

If the royal jelly brewed by the golden queen bee is taken out, the results will be very different.

The queen bee seemed to have changed during this month due to the nourishment of Fang Yikurong's magical power.

The brewed royal jelly has a breakthrough in quality, with a hint of the charm of ancient wood withering and flourishing.

Not only has the effect of strengthening the meridians been greatly enhanced, but the medicinal properties have also become much milder.

Royal jelly is potent enough for children as young as eight or nine years old.

For ordinary cultivators, because their meridians have not yet grown, they need to wait until they are at least twelve years old to stabilize their meridians before they can start to absorb and exhale spiritual energy.

If this royal jelly is used, it will be enough for young monks to start practicing three years earlier.

This is equivalent to extending the cultivator's peak period by three years, which is enough to give the cultivator an additional chance to build a foundation for the Tao.

Over time, as long as there is one more foundation-building cultivator, it is enough to determine the rise and fall of a family.

This alone is enough for Fang Yi to hide the royal jelly. After all, a man is guilty of possessing a treasure even if he is innocent.

Li Qingsong saw Fang Yi shaking his head and thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

The spiritual bees that can brew royal jelly have at least broken through to the first lower grade.

In the swarm of bees, the combat power can be raised to another level. Even if Fang Yi risks his life, he is still not something that a cultivator in the early stage of Qi training can deal with.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, there's no need to do that. This spiritual honey can only benefit your cultivation if consumed over a long period of time. If you and I work hard in cultivation, we'll eventually be able to enjoy this spiritual substance."

"What you said is very true"

Fang Yi nodded, then took out several spiritual herbs.

"Could you please give us an estimate of the price? How many spirit stones are still missing after taking these into account?"

"Brother Fang's spiritual honey is of top quality and is estimated to be worth ten low-grade spiritual stones. These spiritual herbs are worth ten low-grade spiritual stones, so we still need fifty-two low-grade spiritual stones."

Fang Yi took out the spirit stone from his storage bag and handed it to Li Qingsong.

"Thank you for your help, Daoist friend. I will come and bother you again after I finish refining the puppet."

"Then I wish Brother Fang success soon."

"In that case, I will accept your kind words!"

Half a month later.

Changqingyuan, in the training room.

Fang Yi took out a jade bottle from his storage bag as usual.

He tilted his head back and drank the first-grade royal jelly in the jade bottle in one gulp.

Soon, the mild medicinal power began to flow out from the stomach.

As Fang Yi continued to refine the medicinal power, a light golden magical power emerged.

Pale golden mana flowed through his meridians, nourishing them and strengthening their resilience. As the mana flowed, Fang Yi's complexion shifted between pale and vibrant, changing color from green to gray.

The momentum began to rise continuously, breaking through a certain limit in a trance, and creating a subtle resonance with the entire environment.

In the training room, another half-meter-long vortex of spiritual energy formed.

Fang Yi's vision continued to rise, sensing the gentle trembling of the flowers, plants and trees in Changqing Courtyard, and the faint glow of light on the mountains, rocks and water.

It seems that I understand something, but it is like the moon in the water, out of reach.

After an unknown amount of time, the shadow of an ancient tree appeared in front of Fang Yi.

Without much explanation, Fang Yi understood the name of this ancient tree, the spiritual root of heaven and earth, the Great Chun tree!

"In ancient times, there was a large tree called the Chun tree. Its spring was eight thousand years old, and its autumn was eight thousand years old. Time could not take away its lifespan."

Feel the breath of the four seasons and the changes of growth and decay emitted by the shadow of the big cypress tree.

Fang Yi finally understood the essence of the "Scripture of Life and Death".

No wonder this technique can increase one’s lifespan and prolong one’s life as soon as one gets started.

It turns out that it originated from this spiritual root of heaven and earth that had long since disappeared.

The shadow gradually dissipated, and he felt that his cultivation had broken through to the third level of Qi training, but he did not care.

Falling into a state of enlightenment that is rare for a cultivator, this breakthrough in cultivation is only the smallest gain.

"The Sutra of Life and Death, Withering and Flourishing, Small Completion"

Fang Yi knew that this breakthrough was the result of hundreds of years of accumulation in his two lifetimes.

This "Scripture of Life, Death, and Flourishing" is definitely more than the third grade!
It comes from the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, so it is impossible that it is only of this grade. There must be a great secret in it.

However, considering his current low level of cultivation, Fang Yi planned to condense his Nascent Soul before pursuing the secrets of the technique.

He is very clear about the principle that the greater one's cultivation, the greater the things he can do.

Feeling that his meridians had become three points stronger, Fang Yi counted the remaining royal jelly in the storage bag and nodded with satisfaction.

With the supply of royal jelly, the speed of cultivation can be increased.

Then he took out the Yinhun Iron and began to refine it with Ku Rong's magic power as before.

In Fang Yi's opinion, this piece of Yinhun Iron was a waste of resources in the hands of the previous cultivator.

The true teachings of the magic way all seek the word "purity", not the speed that ordinary cultivators believe in. It's just that the means are different.

On the road of cultivation, if your magic power is impure and your foundation is unstable, how can you break through to a higher level?

What's more, Fang Yi plans to refine this piece of Yinhun Iron into a life-saving magic weapon, so he must strive for perfection.

As the blue-gray magic power washed back and forth, his own soul power began to gradually seep in.

The Yinhun Iron slowly lost its complex black markings, which were impurities left over from the previous cleansing with soul fluid.

Looking at the faint green light in front of him that already occupied one third of the Yinhun Iron.

Fang Yi estimated that it would only take another two months before he could start refining his natal magic weapon, the Xuanyin Soul-Slaying Sword.

Now that my cultivation has broken through, the spiritual materials for refining the puppet will be refined and I can start refining the puppet.

It’s just that his cultivation level is quite impressive now. He has a medium-grade spiritual root, but in less than two years, he has broken through to the third level of Qi training.

This is like having the opportunity imprinted on your face. If other cultivators notice it, it will definitely attract prying eyes.

Fortunately, "The Sutra of Life and Death" is good at hiding one's cultivation.

Fang Yi Kurong gently circulated his magic power to hide his own cultivation level, showing his cultivation level of having just entered the second level of Qi training.

"Da da da……"

There was a knock on the door outside Changqing Courtyard.

Fang Yi opened the gate and saw a monk wearing red robes and barefoot.
