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

Chapter 609 Diagnosing and Treating Foundation Establishment, Exploring the Soul

"Nephew Yang Zhide, come in." Looking at the pale-faced and somewhat reserved cultivator, Fang Yi smiled gently, his demeanor as warm and refined as jade.

He had already made arrangements through the sect to come to the Treasure Pavilion to treat cultivators and begin their foundational cultivation.

With his third-tier spiritual healing skills, combined with the bewitching technique, he could extract information about Sudu Mountain without damaging the cultivator's soul.

Even if there is any damage, it can be easily repaired.

For Fang Yi, now that he has assumed the position of sect leader and condensed his Golden Core, his cultivation foundation and even his status within the sect have reached their limit.

If you want to advance further, you'll need to break through to the late Core Formation stage...

The true strength of Xuan Yang Mountain ultimately lies in the two Grand Masters, Tian Que and Chi Mei, who have cultivated for hundreds of years and wield top-grade magic treasures, and are in the late stage of Core Formation.

The competition in the Great Cloud Cultivation World is fierce. If one wants to take the lead, one needs at least the combat power of a Great True Person.

A late-stage Core Formation cultivator is acceptable, as is a high-grade third-tier demon beast. Even a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator wielding a sect-protecting treasure can reach this threshold.

No one in the Great Cloud Realm can reach the level of a Great True Person cultivator.

Unless a Nascent Soul True Monarch intervenes, or someone is courting death, even cultivators of the same level would find it difficult to kill them.

Only when one's life is secure can one establish a comprehensive strategy.

The same applies to the White Bone Sect, the Heavenly Blade Dock, the Joyful Union Sect, and the Azure Water Pavilion.

Fang Yi was plotting something; even if he used all his methods, it wouldn't be the Grand Master who would make a move.

This person's magical power has undergone another transformation. His cultivation, combat skills, and family background are all half a body length stronger than those of early to mid-stage Core Formation cultivators.

Only with such cultivation can one seize enough benefits in the major events after Xuan Yang Mountain to aid in the formation of the Nascent Soul.

The lifespan of a cultivator in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm starts at a full twenty Jiazi (60-year cycles), or 1,200 years. If one's cultivation progresses further, the lifespan will also increase.

Such a true lord roams freely in one region, his magical power has undergone a transformation, and destroying mountains and peaks is nothing to him.

Fang Yi gazed leisurely, sensing the black and white Three Lives Stone deep within his soul, surrounded by mysterious light.

The corpse transformed from his previous life is a great tonic for him and also the path to becoming a god.

He pondered in his heart.

The current priority is to quickly convert the position of sect leader into resources for cultivation.

The Sutra on Life, Death, Withering and Flourishing states that focusing on the foundation will prevent rapid progress.

As a corpse of the underworld, Chi Yin has ample blood and nourishment, so breaking through to the middle rank of the third level as soon as possible is not difficult.

After all preparations were complete, the plan was to swallow the White Bone Gate whole, skin and bones.

Fang Yi couldn't help but be tempted. The [White Bone Divine Magic] and [Crimson Face White Bone Path] are for refining the body and the soul, respectively.

And there is also a Tier 3 superior-grade White Bone Demon God statue...

If he could swallow the White Bone Sect whole, skin and bones, he could recover 50% of his previous life's resources.

A True Immortal at the Great Perfection of Core Formation, having challenged half of the foundation of a Nascent Soul cultivator, is enough to make him one of the top hunters in the Great Cloud Immortal Cultivation World.

In the previous life, such sects had already been taken by Nascent Soul True Monarchs to refine magical treasures in the territory of the Underworld Sect.

The information within the souls of Foundation Establishment cultivators on Sudu Mountain is the first step.

Fang Yi's eyes gleamed, and the jade scroll behind him, which had been refined to perfection, kept turning.

They used bewitching spells on Foundation Establishment cultivators, bullying the weak with their superior strength, showing no shame whatsoever.

But it was enough for Fang Yi to control 70-80% of the cultivators, demon beasts, and rare treasures in the Sudu Mountain.

……

Lotus blossoms drifted down onto the cultivator's body, and as the delicate lotuses swayed, wisps of fiery poison were drawn out.

The lotus withered and decayed, but as the power of withering and flourishing descended, the lotus seed reformed, took root, and sprouted...

"Thank you for your help, Sect Leader!" Wang Wei was thin and dressed in hemp clothing, his face showing gratitude.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator without any backing, his lungs and internal organs were eroded by the fire poison. If it weren't for Fang Yi's help, he would have already considered waiting to die.

Fang Yi nodded slightly.

"My nephew Wang Wei was seriously injured while defending the sect against the beast tide. As the sect leader, I will not stand idly by..."

"Nephew Wang Wei left on his own and summoned Nephew Chu Chi..."

Seeing that Fang Yi had no demands, Wang Wei felt a little relieved and murmured to himself.

'Senior Brother Fang is indeed worthy of being a spiritual healer; he is kind-hearted and friendly to his fellow disciples.'

Compared to Xiao Lie, who only knew how to place family cultivators, he was several times stronger...

A few moments.

The doors of the Treasure Pavilion opened, and Chu Chi, holding a Crimson Fire Pearl and wearing a robe radiating the five-colored sun, appeared.

Even with the help of two pure Yang magical artifacts, he was still trembling, and a chilling aura kept emanating from him.

"Disciple Chu Chi greets Sect Leader..."

"Quasi-third-order cold poison erosion?"

With a Foundation Establishment level six cultivation, the fact that he's been able to hold on until now shows that Junior Nephew Chu Chi has considerable foundation…

After Fang Yi praised him, he did not try to win him over further.

Given the difference in their cultivation levels, he had already seen through Chu Chi's foundation: a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator who had barely managed to condense a mid-grade Dao Foundation.

In the future, the chances of successfully refining a fake core will be at most 10%. Such cultivators are of ordinary value and do not need to be courted.

A bluish halo swirled in his palm, transforming into azure hairs that he unleashed.

"call out!"

"call out!"

"call out!"

As the sound of something cutting through the air rang out, strands of azure hair were injected into Chu Chi's body and blood vessels.

A putrid fragrance wafted up, and in a daze, Chu Chi also fell into an illusion.

The banners of decay and prosperity fluttered in the desolate realm, gathering a rich vitality that began to expel the cold poison and replenish vital energy.

Fang Yi asked.

"Chu Chi also learned about the Core Formation stage Fire Dao True Person at Sudu Mountain."

At the auction, cultivators can collect third-tier fire-attribute spiritual items...

Furthermore, I will describe in detail the strength of the monsters in Sudu Mountain. Their types, cultivation levels, and the rare and precious materials they guard—nothing is too small…”

"Yes, along the Shanxi Dushan Mountain, there is a second-tier mid-grade precious lotus guarded by an Ice-marked Leopard."

A sacred spring was born in the Guzhu River.

Time passed slowly, and cultivators came and went in the Treasure Pavilion, while cultivators from Xuan Yang Mountain continued to enter.

Every cultivator who stepped out of the pavilion had improved complexion and the demonic poison had been eradicated.

"Junior Brother Chen, Sect Leader Fang Yi is treating our hidden injuries."

You are not harmed by the miasma; return immediately.

"The sect leader is a third-tier spiritual healer, return immediately!"

"Fifth brother, hurry! Your foundation was damaged twenty years ago. Return quickly, this great opportunity cannot be missed..."

Inside the treasure pavilion, Fang Yi waved his sleeves, unleashing his magical power.

[Wood Spirit Soul Nourishing Method]

【Crimson Spirit Poison Transformation Technique】

[Blood Essence Sacrifice to the Divine Aura]

[The Method of Sharing the Same Vein of Yi Wood]...

"Oh, they've started notifying their fellow disciples?"

Fang Yi nodded slightly. Although he publicly stated that he would only treat cultivators injured in the attack of demonic beasts, he would not refuse to treat other cultivators from Xuan Yang Mountain if they came to him.

With his medical skills, if he didn't want to bewitch people and gather information...

The injuries sustained by a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, at most a near-third-tier spiritual poison, would last no more than a quarter of an hour.

As for the third-tier spiritual poison on it, the Demon King's magic power eroded its foundation.

Of the more than 100,000 cultivators in the ancient city of Dadu, only four had the resources to withstand such a group of cultivators.

Hu Lei, Yan Youtai, Jiu Qu, and Yu Zhu were merely Core Formation True Persons whose physical bodies had been refined by the power of Core Formation...

"Crash!"

The jade scroll in her sleeve turned the pages continuously, spreading ink.

Traversing the mountainous terrain, uncovering hidden secrets, and unexpectedly discovering mineral veins in various locations...

It takes shape through the dedication of each and every one of the foundation builders.

As the sun set and the moon rose, the medicinal fragrance emanating from the Treasure Pavilion slowly dissipated.

With a wave of his sleeve, Fang Yi reduced the Five Poison Cauldron to the size of a palm and placed it into his storage bag.

"Fang is going into seclusion to cultivate himself."

Dear fellow disciples, if you require treatment, please come to me again tomorrow at noon...

Just like today, each cultivator must bring their own elixirs, and I, Fang, will charge one spirit stone per cultivator for treatment…

"Click..."

The heavy doors closed again, and the Treasure Pavilion was once again enveloped by various spiritual lights formed from the magical restrictions.

Inside the Treasure Pavilion, whether they were cultivators whose old wounds had long since healed or venerable ones still afflicted by demonic poison, they exchanged glances...

"..."

"..."

There was complete silence in front of the multi-treasure pavilion.

A few moments.

One by one, the Foundation Establishment Venerables bowed and offered their respectful congratulations.

"Thank you for your help, Sect Leader. May you be free from calamities and difficulties, and may your path to immortality be everlasting..."

The deafening roar echoed throughout half of the ancient city of Dadu.

In the ancient city, streams of pseudo-elixir energy rose up, some activating magical artifacts, some performing secret techniques, and some silently appearing in front of the Treasure Pavilion.

A gentle, flowing divine thought, seemingly curious and amazed.

"Chen Xiaojiu, her foundation was not damaged by the Brown Curtain Ghost Toad."

What brings you here?

"The sect leader of Xuanyang Mountain has made a move?"

"A Foundation Establishment cultivator who failed to condense his core, possesses such abilities?"

……

"Fang Yi's medical skills have broken through to the third level?"

At the Biyue Pavilion, the beautiful Jade Pearl Immortal, whose aura was winding and continuous, narrowed her pupils.

Listening to the report from her trusted Foundation Establishment subordinates, she clutched her chest, feeling an extreme headache.

Whether it was Hu Lei and Yan Youtai of Xuan Yang Mountain, or Jiu Qu of Feng Ling Immortal City, they all knew that the beast tide was only temporarily receding, and that a great battle between human cultivators and demon beasts was inevitable afterward.

"A third-tier spiritual healer, a third-tier spiritual healer! This is a master of the third-tier spiritual healing path..."

Master Yuzhu looked anxious.

Biyue Pavilion and Xuanyang Mountain are mortal enemies, and we must not allow the Xuanyang cultivators to take the lead on their own.

As a Core Formation cultivator, one enjoys a long lifespan and far surpasses the knowledge of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"no!"

Jade Pearl True Person paced back and forth. If Xuan Yang Mountain lost too few cultivators, Bi Shui Pavilion would suffer great losses, and Xuan Yang Mountain would definitely force Bi Shui Pavilion to give up the interests of the ancient city.

"We can't let Xuanyang Mountain enjoy these benefits all to itself..."

"Sun Qiao, go and deliver the visiting card to Master Jiuqu and request a meeting..."

……

Three days later.

Fang Yi's sleeves billowed, his azure hair was already neatly arranged, and he sensed the message within the jade scroll.

His smile was undisguised.

"The news of the journey to Sudu Mountain to obtain Buddhist scriptures has been found out."

"Hey, bad weather breeds bad people. The Foundation Establishment cultivators of Xuan Yang are, on average, more than a notch stronger than the righteous cultivators of my previous life..."

……

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A knock sounded on the door, and Sheng Bo'an spoke respectfully.

"Sect Leader, Master has emerged from seclusion."

"Jade Pearl Pavilion, Wind Spirit Immortal City in Nine Bends, is now located in Purple Light Courtyard, awaiting your arrival..."

"Oh?"

Fang Yi seemed to be deep in thought. Without lingering, he treaded on the flowing blue lotus beneath his feet and headed towards Ziguang Courtyard.

……

Fifteen minutes later, at Ziguang Academy.

A beam of azure light descended, revealing Fang Yi wearing a purple sun crown, a robe that symbolizes the transformation of mountains and rivers, and the Heavenly Craftsmanship and Divine Farmer's Decrees at his waist.

His gaze swept over the four masters present, pausing slightly on Yan Youtai.

"Brother Lei and Brother Yan, it's been a long time!"

Yan Youtai's face darkened slightly as he recalled his several visits to Black Abyss Island, during which he always learned that Fang Yi was in seclusion for cultivation.

"Junior Brother Fang, you're quite skilled!"

"Fellow Daoist Fang's healing skills have broken through to the third level. No wonder True Person Tianque overruled all objections and appointed you as the sect leader..."

Master Yuzhu complimented, but inwardly he felt extremely regretful.

Xuan Yang Mountain originally had no third-level medical lineage, but now that a person with exceptional talent, Fang Yi, has emerged, the deficiency has been made up.

"Fang Daoyou has exceptional talent!"

The Nine-Bend Immortal was also somewhat sentimental, lamenting that things had changed and people were no longer the same.

Fang Yi, who used to make a living in Fengling Immortal City, is now at the third level of medical cultivation, with a status comparable to a Core Formation True Person.

'Junior Brother Fang, these two have come to ask you to treat an injured cultivator…'

Yan Youtai's eyes gleamed, and before he could even speak, a voice transmission reached Fang Yi's ears.

"You two are too kind."

Fang Yi and Yan Youtai exchanged a glance and reached a tacit understanding. They put aside their old grudges and united against external forces, first joining forces to deal with Yu Zhu and Jiu Qu.

Internal grudges can be resolved later, but opportunities to harm the cultivators of the Azure Water Pavilion are rare.
