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

Chapter 625 Selling the Puppet Armor: Everything is Ready and the East Wind Rises

"The quality of the pills is too high." Fang Yi shook his head slightly and took out a humanoid puppet armor.

The puppet armor was forged entirely from dark wood, with wood patterns covering its surface. The joints were wrapped in blue silkworm silk, and round mirrors made of second-grade black iron were inlaid in vital areas such as the chest, dantian, and heart.

"Junior Brother Xu, what do you think of this Wood Puppet Armor?"

Xu Qingshe frowned slightly as he carefully scanned the puppet, examining its face armor, body armor, and arm armor.
Ordinary! Completely unremarkable; it doesn't match the puppet Fang Yi once crafted for him.

"Senior brother, why are you doing this?"

Fang Yi patted the puppet armor, making a solid knocking sound.

“Junior Brother Xu, my Yi Wood Battle Puppet is ordinary in terms of offensive capabilities and average in terms of speed, but its defense is comparable to a high-grade magic weapon.”

It can be described as silly, big, clumsy, and crude, but its advantage lies in the ease of crafting puppets.

Wood-Generating Elixir is considered a top-quality product among its kind, but how many batches can my junior brother refine in ten days?

If I'm not mistaken, eight out of ten of these pills were refined in the early years, left over from my junior brother's stock before he formed his core.

"Senior brother has a discerning eye; this elixir was most likely refined by junior brother before he condensed his own elixir."

Xu Qingshe gazed at the puppet armor, which was entirely black, made of spirit wood, and simple and unadorned.

A few breaths later, he looked puzzled. "Senior brother, if we're going to compete with talismans and magical artifacts, what makes this puppet armor so special?"

Fang Yi explained softly.

"Among the Foundation Establishment cultivators in Sudu Mountain, half are either independent cultivators or members of small families."

Compared to Fengling Immortal City, Dadu Ancient City is the largest gathering place for independent cultivators in Dayun.

Senior brother's puppet armor is sold to rogue cultivators who have some assets but are not wealthy enough.

As for the disciples of the sect, they mostly have no shortage of high-grade defensive magical artifacts. My puppet armor is not intended for them.”

"As for how to sell it?" Fang Yi released a communication talisman from his sleeve, which then transformed into a white beam of light and headed out of Xuanzhen Garden.

"Unaffiliated cultivators are different from those in sects. Having a puppet armor with no backup and defense comparable to a high-grade magic weapon is enough to make them interested."

With no war in the ancient city, the purchases were made by independent cultivators. However, once the beast tide rises, the audience for these puppet armors will be quite different.

The wealthier a cultivator is, the more they cherish their life.

Fang Yi did not tell Xu Qing about the snake beast tide.

Success comes from secrecy, failure from leaks. A mere second-tier puppet armor, paired with Wood-Generating Spirit Liquid, is enough to attract Foundation Establishment cultivators to purchase it.

With his own mastery of puppetry and Xu Qingshe's mastery of alchemy, even without pursuing the highest quality, it would be a rare opportunity for a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"I see!"

Xu Qingshe suddenly realized that by not pursuing the quality of every pill, the efficiency of refining pills could be increased several times over.

He wouldn't have acted this way when he first made his name, but now he's long past the age where he needs fame.

What he lacks is spirit stones, a lot of spirit stones!

Purchase large quantities of fire-attribute spiritual items to repair the spirit stones of your natal treasure.

Fang Yi's words were exactly what he wanted to hear.

"Senior Brother Fang, I'll go back now and adjust the medicinal properties of the Wood-Generating Spirit Liquid. These ten bottles of premium spirit liquid, when combined with spirit water, can be made into twenty portions of spirit liquid."

"Junior brother, don't be anxious." A beam of azure light enveloped the ten bottles of spiritual liquid.

"Senior Brother Fang?" Xu Qing's eyes were filled with doubt. Why was he stopping him if he wasn't going to prepare the spiritual liquid?

Fang Yi spoke up. "I have other uses for these ten portions of elixir. Junior Brother, you should start refining the pills again."

"I'll trouble you with the matter of selling this spiritual item, Senior Brother," Xu Qingshe nodded slightly, not delving into the details, and got up to head towards the alchemy room.

In Biyuan Garden, the branches of several apricot trees are gnarled and twisted, the apricot blossoms are in full bloom, a gentle breeze stirs the petals, petals fall in profusion, and the stream murmurs softly.

"call out!"

A white beam of light, carrying a communication jade talisman, passed through the apricot grove, skimmed the water's surface, and stopped in front of the quiet room.

"Is this a telepathic message from the sect leader?"

A dry sound rang out, and a three-foot-wide gap appeared in the forbidden area, allowing the heavy door to open.

A golden ribbon swept the jade talisman into the quiet room.

A few moments.

In the quiet room, Qian Junhe held the jade talisman, lost in thought.

"Qian Huaijin has sided with Master Yan, this is troublesome!"

Qian Junhe frowned and continued browsing the contents of the transmission talisman.

A few moments
"Does Senior Brother, the Sect Leader, have the resources to make me compete for the position of Grand Manager of the Treasure Pavilion?"

He looked surprised. Through the communication talisman, Fang Yi did not hide the fact that Qian Huaijin had defected to Yan Youtai.

With a Core Formation Realm expert as his backer, Fang Yi actually had the confidence to support him.

Qian Junming's heart pounded like a drum, and his eyes burned with a fierce intensity, as if a wildfire was raging within them.

The path of spiritual practice prioritizes wealth, companions, Dharma, and location.
After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, to rapidly increase one's cultivation level, one must consume elixirs, rent spiritual vein cave dwellings, or acquire cultivation techniques.
Which one can live without the spirit stone?

'If I could get the position of head manager of the Treasure Pavilion...'

As Qian Junhe thought about the benefits of the Battle of Duobao Pavilion, his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

"Qian Huaijin's advancement to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage is at least 80% thanks to the profits from the Treasure Pavilion."

"Done!"

He made up his mind to take a gamble.

Forging a mid-grade Dao foundation is valuable among the Core Formation True Immortals of Xuan Yang Mountain.

Even if they lose the competition, at most they will be expelled from the Treasure Pavilion, where earning spirit stones will be difficult, but they will be able to protect themselves.

"A rare opportunity!"

With the sect leader's help, if one still dares not fight, then he is unworthy of being a sword cultivator.

Qian Junhe's lips moved, and more than ten transmission talismans flew out of his storage bag. Half of them flew to various parts of the ancient city, and the other half flew to Fengling Immortal City and the Qian family's territory at Xiaoxuan Peak of Xuanyang Mountain.

As a descendant of Qian Chuanzi, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it's one thing if things don't work out, but when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he achieved a mid-grade Dao Foundation, undergoing a complete transformation. He easily won over cultivators of his lineage, forming a separate faction within the Qian family.

A quarter of an hour later.

Qian Junhe closed his eyes, activated the incomplete [Taibai Zhanjin Sword Technique], refined spiritual energy, and consolidated his cultivation.

"My cultivation will be stable within three months, then I can go all out and fight."

However, this goal still needs to be considered.

"Qian Huaijin has been running Duobaoge for over a hundred years, and he also has a True Immortal of Core Formation as his backer."

I still advise Senior Brother Fang to act within his capabilities and set his sights on becoming the deputy manager of the Treasure Pavilion.”

In the quiet room of Xuanzhen Garden.

"I only ask for the position of deputy manager of the Treasure Pavilion."
Qian Junhe is quite reliable; he doesn't seem like the kind of outstanding person who has comprehended the essence of the Sharp Metal Sword.

Fang Yi stood with his hands behind his back, holding a communication talisman in his hand, his eyes showing admiration.

"We can mobilize twenty Qian family cultivators who are skilled in business, and Qian Chuanzi has left behind a lot of connections."

Such a good foundation would be wasted on just one deputy manager.

Inside the Treasure Pavilion, there were two managers, one principal and two assistant managers, followed by several stewards, each responsible for selling elixirs, talismans, array plates, and magical artifacts.

Fang Yi's use of the battle puppet was just the beginning. Qian Junhe lived up to expectations, condensing a mid-grade Dao Foundation. The deputy manager alone could not meet Fang Yi's needs.

"Roar!" The sound waves vibrated in the quiet room.

Within the large cocoon formed by tangled black hair, Gu Jiushang let out a lion's roar, a gilded blood bead embedded in his forehead bone.

Fang Yi scanned the area with his divine sense, sensing Gu Jiushang's gradually clearing soul and the fading of blood color from his physical body.

"Not bad!"

The Xuan Yin Soul-Slaying Blade slid out from the sleeve, and a piece of fresh, tender flesh, just grown from the arm, was cut off.

Fang Yi felt a surge of joy as he wrapped his flesh and blood inside the large cocoon.

"The demon bloodline and magical foundation are gradually merging. Once the blood bead is fully refined, it can be incorporated into the body." "Now, I don't need to replenish it with my own essence blood. If there's enough essence blood from ordinary human cultivators, it can neutralize the demon king's essence blood."

Fang Yi flicked his fingertip, and a blue spiritual light flew out.

Half an hour later, Qin Yu's respectful voice came from outside the heavy blue stone gate.

"Qin Yu greets Master."

"Yu'er, I will finish my closed-door cultivation practice. Starting tomorrow, I will personally treat cultivators."

"Hmm," Fang Yi said after a moment's thought.

"The cultivators in Fengling Immortal City have already treated 80-90% of the cases. After that, you will post a notice that the number of cultivators treated per day will be increased from three to ten."

"Yes, disciple obeys!" Qin Yu bowed respectfully and left.

Although he didn't know why his master had suddenly become "diligent," he could learn from Fang Yi's treatment of cultivators, which greatly benefited his progress in the art of spiritual medicine.

He knew that his talent was not as good as Li Heng's, and if he wanted to condense his core, his hopes would ultimately lie in the path of spiritual medicine.

The next day, the sun rose in the east, and golden sunlight shone down.

The magical restrictions in Xuanzhen Garden slowly dissipated, the clouds and mist dispersed, revealing a Dharma platform floating above it.

Qin Yu wore a brocade robe with green pine and deer patterns and a black jade crown, looking exceptionally handsome.

He waved the Azure Lotus Banner in his hand, and the power of the Wood Spirit transformed into a rainbow bridge, connecting the inside and outside of the Jade Platform.

"Our master has instructed all fellow Daoists to ascend the Jade Platform."

The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Azure Water Pavilion, who had been waiting for a long time, exchanged glances and could all see that they breathed a sigh of relief.

Those Foundation Establishment cultivators who were able to come here were all seriously injured and had little wealth, so they couldn't afford to hire the top spiritual healers in the Great City.

Now, things have taken a turn for the better. With the help of a third-tier medical master, countless people are deeply grateful to Jade Pearl Master for the benefits he has gained.

Scattered words of gratitude rang out.

"Many thanks to Sect Leader Fang for his compassion in healing our old wounds."

"Sect Leader Fang is a compassionate healer; I thank you!"

Qin Yu rubbed the spirit pearl in his sleeve, his eyes growing cold.

Cheap gratitude, costless.

Both being Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Foundation Establishment Master of Xuan Yang Mountain knew that Fang Yi was offering free medical consultations.

However, some spiritual items and fruits have never been lacking in the minds of cultivators. Although their value is ordinary, they are ultimately a token of their goodwill.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Azure Water Pavilion, having clearly received their orders, refused to contribute a single penny.
'Jade Bead!' Qin Yu chewed repeatedly, filled with intense hatred.

His Black Abyss Island lineage had never suffered such a great loss before.

On the bluestone-paved platform of black jade, clusters of blue lotuses swayed, transforming into a lotus flower covering an acre. Amidst the wafting fragrance of herbs, a precious banner exhaled life force.

Fang Yi's fingertips moved in a series of hand seals, sending dozens of azure threads into the cultivator's acupoints.

The thin blue lines were gradually tainted by demonic energy, turning into a murky gray.

One by one, the cultivators became entangled in the demonic power within their flesh and blood, which was continuously extracted.

"combine!"

As the last trace of demonic energy was extracted, Fang Yi waved his sleeves, and life force gathered and transformed into spiritual rain, with a warm breeze nourishing his soul.

The secrets of medicine, the art of gentle persuasion.

"Hahaha, the poison of the Jade Toad has been completely neutralized, and the flow of my magical power is now unimpeded."

"The old injury in my dantian has been healed, and the Tianqing acupoint no longer aches."

"His injuries have completely healed him; he truly deserves to be called a third-tier spiritual healer. A great physician's skill and profound artistry are truly admirable."

Although the Foundation Establishment cultivators were trembling and pale, they all showed joy as they felt their chronic illnesses disappear.

"Thank you very much, Master Fang!"

"Thank you for saving my life, Master."

"When the disciple returns to the sect, he will light the longevity tablet for the True Person and make careful offerings."

With a flick of his sleeve, Fang Yi tucked away his azure hair, his face indifferent, ignoring the flattering and praising voices around him.

It was just polite talk. As the cornerstone of the sect, how could the Foundation Establishment cultivators not know about the feud between Biyue Pavilion and Xuanyang Mountain?

"You may all leave now. Inform the cultivators in the Azure Water Pavilion that five more people will come tomorrow."

"Yes!"

The ten Foundation Establishment cultivators bowed simultaneously. As Qin Yu had said, their expressions of gratitude for saving lives and healing were merely empty words and a performance.

Compared to Fang Yi, who healed their injuries, the cultivators were more grateful to Jade Pearl True Person from their sect.

Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, a protective barrier arose, obscuring the Dharma platform. Fang Yi asked his eldest disciple, who stood tall and elegant, "I will teach you."

"Yu'er, have you gained any insights from today's treatment of the spiritual healer with me?"

Qin Yu spoke up. "Whether it's the Azure Silk, the Nourishing Essence Method, or the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique, Master has incorporated the essence of plants and trees into them."

"One part magic power can mobilize ten parts spiritual power, and the healing ability is almost undiminished."

"Buzz!" Tiny specks of blue light transformed into wind and rain at his fingertips, flowing with the meaning of nourishing all things.

"Not bad!" "Not bad!" Fang Yi smiled, his face showing delight.

"With this understanding, Yu'er's medical skills are not far from the second-tier high-grade level."

Study diligently. We cultivators can use our medical secrets to do more than just treat other cultivators and heal hidden injuries.

"Ok?"

Fang Yi turned his head and looked down into the pill room. A fire lotus wrapped around ten bottles of pills flew to his front.

He sniffed the pill, sensing its quality, then grasped it with his five fingers. The wood-elemental liquid within the pill transformed into a thin stream, flowing through the storage bag and into the ten battle puppets.

The grooves were already prepared vertically, and the war puppet's armor plates were tinged with cinnabar and blue.

"Yu'er, go to the Treasure Pavilion and consign this puppet armor." Fang Yi took off his storage bag and tossed it into Qin Yu's arms.

"Puppet armor?"

Qin Yu looked curious. He knew that Fang Yi had gone into seclusion to refine the puppet armor in order to collect spiritual items, and had even clashed with Qian Huaijin, the head manager of Duobao Pavilion.

"Master, how much does this puppet armor cost?"

"Five hundred low-grade spirit stones," Fang Yi paused slightly before changing his words.

"Four hundred and ninety-nine low-grade spirit stones."

Afterwards, you used the cultivators from Black Abyss Island in the ancient city to spread the word that the Treasure Pavilion had acquired a batch of specially crafted puppet armor, whose defense even surpassed that of high-grade magic weapons.

"Yes!" Qin Yu bowed and left Xuanzhen Garden, pondering in his heart which cultivators from Black Abyss Island were in Dadu Ancient City.

Black Abyss Island has been developing for a long time and has befriended many Foundation Establishment cultivators. If it were a matter of life and death, it would be difficult to command them.

But conveying some messages and motivating these Foundation Establishment cultivators is quite simple.

There was no one else on the Xuan Yu Platform. Fang Yi summoned a magic bottle, which floated in the air.

He flicked his sleeves, and the previously hidden azure hair fell into the clean bottle.

"Buzz!"

The gray light on the spirit silk dissipated, revealing the scarlet blood color at its center.

"Tick!"

"Tick!"

Drops of semen dripped down, and within ten minutes, the penis was nearly half full.

Fang Yi held the jade bottle in his hand, feeling the pure blood energy, and a satisfied look appeared on his face.

"The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Azure Water Pavilion have solid foundations and their blood essence is of good quality, sufficient to nourish Jiu Shang as he refines the blood bead into his body."

The six-pointed plum blossoms in his eyes flickered, and he saw the night falling in the ancient city, with lights coming on in every home.

"Everything is ready; all that's needed is for those three fellow Daoists to make their move."
