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

Chapter 636 As his net worth grows, he uses spiritual poison to further his influence.
A month later, at Xuanzhen Temple, the bamboo swayed gently, and the air was filled with the fragrance of plants.

Fang Yi waved his sleeves, the Void Realm Banner fluttering behind him, and the phantom of Xuanzhi appeared in the Five Poisons Cauldron.

"Buzz!"

The ancient cauldron trembled, blue spiritual light surged, and the fragrance of medicine wafted through the air as the crystal-clear medicinal liquid settled within it.

"The Qingzhi Warming Water is ready."

"Fellow Daoist Zhiyang, I have successfully completed my mission!"

Fang Yi smiled and took out a magic bottle from his sleeve to hold the medicinal liquid.

Zhiyangzi took the clean bottle, his fingertips brushing against the medicinal liquid. The spiritual liquid seeped into his skin, and the warm medicinal properties continuously nourished his flesh and meridians.

"Hoo!" He exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling the hidden injuries caused by the explosion of the fire-based cultivation technique gradually recover.

Zhiyangzi was overjoyed and immediately took out a palm-sized spirit-sealing jade box from his storage bag.

"Thank you for your help, Brother Fang. This is the payment we agreed on earlier."

Fang Yi took the jade box, gently pushed it with his five fingers, and as his magic power flowed, the sealing talisman spontaneously combusted without wind, and a rich fire aura mixed with the fragrance of medicine wafted over.

Quasi-Tier 3 Elixir: Fire-Patterned Stone Slant.

Taking a sniff, Fang Yi sensed the pure medicinal properties, which were top-grade even among those of the same level, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"It was nothing, Fellow Daoist Zhiyang, you're too kind..."

"It's a small favor for you, but not for Zhiyang."

Zhiyangzi repeatedly bowed and expressed his gratitude, speaking politely.

Although Fang Yi had a great reputation as a third-tier spiritual healer, it was unknown how much he actually knew.

If it weren't for the recommendation of a friend among the independent cultivators, he really wouldn't have wanted to get involved in the conflict between Xuan Yang Mountain and Bi Shui Pavilion.

Both factions are formidable opponents for him, and he needs to deal with them carefully.

With the passing of Huang Guangsheng, Xuan Yang Mountain lost a great master and its prestige declined.

However, Tianquezi still exists, and with the three top-grade magic treasures—the Zhou Tian Tu, the Da Kong Zhen Yun Zhou, and the Xuan Yang Shen Huo Jian—suppressing his foundation, he remains the number one sect in Dayun.

The Azure Water Pavilion also has a Grand Master, and it has formed an alliance with the Heavenly Blade Dock through marriage.

In terms of foundation, the two schools working together are no less powerful than Xuanyang Mountain.

Having cultivated to the level of a pseudo-elixir, Zhiyangzi is a prominent figure in the ancient city of Dadu, and I have vaguely heard of him. Biyue Pavilion also has other powerful backers.

'This Qingzhi Warming Water has a rich medicinal quality and almost no drug toxicity. Compared with Fang Yi, the quasi-third-level spiritual doctors in the ancient city are far inferior.'

Fang Yi's reputation as the chief physician of Dayun is well-deserved...

Feeling the damage in his meridians healing continuously, Zhiyangzi made up his mind.

"Sect Leader Fang, I will trouble you in the future to heal my hidden injuries and alleviate the agitation caused by my cultivation technique..."

"Fellow Daoist Zhiyangzi, you are welcome to come and find me."

Fang Yi, dressed in a green robe, with a handsome face and graceful demeanor, seemed intent on befriending Zhiyangzi.

Among the rogue cultivators in Dadu Ancient City who had recently formed their cores, Zhiyangzi had severely injured a third-tier Venerable-level demon beast during the earlier attack on the city by a demon beast.

Its combat skills are unparalleled among fake pills, and it is also quite valuable.

Half an hour later, only Fang Yi remained in the alchemy room. He scanned the storage bag with his divine sense and found four spirit-sealing jade boxes.

Each jade box contains a near-third-tier spiritual herb.

Zhiyangzi was not the only cultivator to visit Xuanzhen Garden.

After the beast tide, Fang Yi's reputation spread far and wide. Cultivators from places like Sudu Mountain and Fengling Immortal City traveled great distances to seek him out to refine spiritual medicines in order to treat old injuries and strengthen their foundations.

"The spiritual herbs in the storage bag are not entirely empty." Fang Yi smiled, even though there were no third-tier spiritual herbs.

Once his reputation is solidified and he is recognized as the only third-tier spiritual healer in Dayun, even a Core Formation cultivator will come knocking on his door.

The Great Cloud is barren; if one wants to obtain a third-tier spiritual item, one must ultimately start with a Core Formation True Person who governs a region.

……

A month later, in front of the vermilion gate of Xuanzhen Garden, Fang Yi smiled and chatted with a barefoot female cultivator with a graceful figure and alluring eyes.

Qing Guanzi brushed a strand of black hair from her temple, her fingertips intentionally or unintentionally brushing against Fang Yi's palm, bringing a slight itch.

"I'll trouble you with the matter of the elixir, Brother Fang."

Her voice was like a nightingale's song, captivating all who heard it. The passing cultivators all blushed, their eyes revealing their admiration.

Some cultivators even experienced a burning sensation in their lower abdomen, indicating that their yang energy was descending.

Fang Yi's eyes were clear, and he was not swayed by beauty; his expression remained calm.

"The Golden Chest Powder that Fellow Daoist Qingguan needs replenishes his primordial yang, but its grade is not yet at the third level. This matter is not difficult."

"Brother Fang truly lives up to his reputation as a third-tier spiritual physician and the number one medical cultivator in the Great Cloud."

Qing Guanzi's beautiful eyes were sparkling, her face filled with admiration, and she reached out her slender, delicate hand to lean on Fang Yi's arm.

Fang Yi chuckled lightly, a ripple appearing on his robe. He was not swayed by the beauty. The fake Core cultivators of the Joyful Union Sect were ruthless and not to be trifled with.

"Fellow Daoist Qingguan may come to Xuanzhen Garden to collect the medicine in ten days."

A few moments.

The vermilion gate closed, and the incantation was raised again.

In Zhanjin Garden, Hengdaozi listened to his subordinates' report, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Master Qingguan of the Hehuan Sect, how quickly has Fang Yi's reputation for spiritual healing spread?"

He paced back and forth for a moment, then headed towards the Magnolia Garden to find Jade Pearl Immortal. This was no longer something he could suppress.

A day later, in the Magnolia Garden, a communication jade talisman surrounded by azure spiritual light transformed into a water phoenix and flew towards the Azure Water Pavilion's residence.

Hengdaozi walked out of the Magnolia Garden with a solemn expression.

Half a month later.

In the quiet room of Xuanzhen Garden, Fang Yi crushed the pale communication talisman, a smile playing on his lips.

"The demon beast lineage is fully prepared, except for the Golden-Eyed Ape King's breakthrough."

He stepped out of the meditation room, Qian Junhe dressed in a brocade robe with pine-patterned patterns, his figure upright, surrounded by a sharp golden aura.

"Meet the Master!"

Looking at the bowing cultivator, Fang Yi nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face, and with a gentle force, lifted Qian Junhe up.

"Pure magical power, mid-grade Dao foundation, profound foundation, it wasn't a waste of my efforts."
There's no need for us to be so formal. I had some dealings with Fellow Daoist Qian Chuanzi in my younger days. Junhe, you can just call me Uncle-Master.

"Thanks to my master's guidance, Junhe will always remember it."

Qian Junhe spoke respectfully, and breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Yi's willingness to let him address him as "Master Uncle" showed that he valued him to some extent.

It wasn't that he was belittling himself, but rather that in the past few months, he had seen too many fake alchemists while welcoming and seeing off guests at Xuanzhen Garden.

Unless a cultivator at the mid-grade Dao Foundation stage has a powerful backer or has surpassed the late Foundation Establishment stage and has the potential to condense the core, they will never even see Fang Yi.

For Qian Junhe, a cultivator who had only recently condensed his Dao foundation, to be able to serve under Fang Yi was already a great opportunity.

Seeing Qian Junhe's respectful manner and humble words, Fang Yi nodded slightly in his heart.

A few months ago, Qian Junhe was arrogant and domineering, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, capable of hurting others as well as himself.

Now, after being honed and refined, the sharp blade is sheathed, ready to be drawn but not yet unleashed, making it all the more valuable.

He patted Qian Junhe's strong shoulder, his words gentle.

"Nephew Qian, come with me to Ziguang Academy to visit Senior Brother Hu Lei. The matter of Duobao Pavilion should be settled by now."

"Yes!" Qian Junhe replied loudly, his heart filled with excitement.

The Treasure Pavilion is very profitable, and he is well aware of how much it would benefit his future cultivation if he could seize the position of head manager.

Half an hour later.

In Ziguang Courtyard, a misty spiritual energy circulates, and several spiritual trees are surrounded by electric light.

Master Hu Lei glanced at the Foundation Establishment cultivators behind Fang Yi, whose auras were pure, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Junior Brother Fang, where did you find this cultivator? His Dao foundation is solid, and his sharp golden sword intent is rare even among Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Could this be your newly accepted disciple?

"Chen Jingge?" Sheng Bo'an, who was serving beside him, hesitated before asking tentatively. "A cultivator from the ancient city who condensed a mid-grade Dao Foundation before the New Year?" Qian Junhe glanced at Fang Yi, and seeing him nod slightly, he spoke.

"Reporting to Master Bo'an, Chen Jingge is an alias for my junior disciple. His real name is Qian Junming, a disciple of the Qian family of Xiaoxuan Peak in Xuanyang Mountain."

Master Hu Lei seemed to be deep in thought. "The Qian family? What is your relationship with Qian Huaijin of the Duobao Pavilion?"

“A member of the same clan.” Qian Junhe’s expression turned slightly cold, and hatred flashed in his eyes.

If it weren't for Qian Huaijin's suppression, how could he, as a descendant of Qian Chuanzi, have been unable to even obtain a single Foundation Establishment Pill?

"Of the same race?" Master Hulei chuckled lightly, no longer delving into the matter.

Fang Yi didn't hide anything and pointed at Qian Junming, saying, "Junior brother has come to ask senior brother for a favor."

Qian Junming was originally a steward of the Treasure Pavilion, but later he did some unsavory things and was expelled from the Treasure Pavilion.

Master Hu Lei frowned slightly, then took out a token from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Fang Yi.

"By my decree, Qian Junhe shall, from this day forward, be the second manager of Duobao Pavilion."

I will no longer interfere in other matters.

"Why don't you thank Master Hu Lei!" Fang Yi said.

"Thank you for your help, Uncle Fang, and thank you for your guidance, Master Hu Lei!" Qian Junhe kowtowed and bowed, his heart pounding like a drum, his face flushed with excitement.

Duobao Pavilion.

"Qian Junhe, when did you establish your foundation?!" Qian Huaijin's expression changed drastically, and golden spiritual light surged forth.

"Even if you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so what? The Treasure Pavilion doesn't welcome you!"

Qian Junhe felt exhilarated. His sleeves fluttered as he held a purple token in his hand, and a sword intent soared into the sky.

"Not welcome? That's not up to you!"

"By the decree of the Thunder God, effective today, I hereby assume the position of Second Manager of the Treasure Pavilion."

"How could Master Hu Lei issue such a decree?" Qian Huaijin's face was gloomy. He believed that he had never failed to make offerings to Master Hu Lei, and now he had Yan Youtai as his backer.

"Fang Yi?"

He stared at the puppet armor, which was deliberately concealed in the shipping container, and felt a chill run down his spine.

They thought Fang Yi had given up, but they never expected that he still had a hidden trick up his sleeve.

Having managed the Treasure Pavilion for many years, Qian Huaijin possessed excellent self-control, and with a few breaths, he suppressed the anger in his heart.

His expression changed, and he said with a smile, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Qian, on your promotion to Second Manager of the Treasure Pavilion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he led the many stewards and servants of Duobao Pavilion away.

While it was impossible to expel Qian Junhe, it was not difficult to isolate him with the help of his subordinate cultivators.

The manager of Duobaoge also undergoes an assessment, and Qian Junming's assessment results will be released after the New Year.

It wouldn't be difficult to ask Yan Youtai to intervene and drive him away.

A month later, Duobao Pavilion had split into two factions. Under Qian Huaijin's all-out suppression, Qian Junhe recruited three or five cultivators to barely maintain the status quo.

Fang Yi watched coldly from the sidelines, offering no assistance.

If Qian Junhe can't even handle this, then he doesn't deserve my help.

Xuanzhen Garden
Inside the octagonal pavilion with white jade pillars and a glazed tile roof, black and white chess pieces are laid out on a chessboard.

"Clap!"

Xu Qingshe placed a black chess piece down, encircling and killing the large white dragon.

"Senior Brother Fang, would you like my assistance? Green Snake does have some connections in the ancient city."

He had also heard about the increasingly big turmoil in the ancient city of Dadu recently.

The three Foundation Establishment cultivators suffered worse injuries and their cultivation levels dropped after taking Fang Yi's elixir.

There are also unseen forces stirring things up, aiming to completely destroy Fang Yi's reputation as the number one spiritual doctor in Dayun.

Fang Yi shook his head slightly, refusing. "The Azure Water Pavilion is stirring things up; even if things are temporarily set right, there will be a reversal later."

There's no need to expend energy; Junior Brother can simply refine more Wood-Generating Spirit Elixir.

In the Orchid Courtyard, the murmuring of a clear spring fills the air, and the misty, spiritual energy of water permeates the cave.

Hengdaozi wore a robe with gold dragon patterns and a dark long sword at his waist, exuding a spirited air.

After bowing respectfully to the graceful female nun, he said...

"Uncle Yuzhu, with the help of the disciples in the sect, it has been widely rumored that Fang Yi's medical skills are not good. Several Foundation Establishment cultivators were treated and their injuries became serious and difficult to cure."

Now, the decision to befriend Fang Yi's several pseudo-Dan cultivators is once again wavering.

"it is good!

Hengdaozi, you handled this matter perfectly and beautifully.

Brother Chen, this palace will write to you to request commendation, and will also endorse the losses suffered by the Tiandaowu cultivators during the beast tide.

Master Yuzhu narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

The ancient city of Dadu cannot be without flaws, and 50% of the foundation-building spiritual items in Biyue Pavilion were obtained from here.

If Fang Yi continues to stir up trouble, many independent cultivators and minor sect cultivators will actively flock to Xuan Yang Mountain, and the interests of Biyue Pavilion will inevitably be continuously eroded.

"With all the right timing, location, and people, Fang Yi got a windfall this time..."

Jade Pearl Immortal's pretty face turned solemn as she took out a bowl of Hidden Azure Spirit Liquid from her sleeve.

"Hengdaozi, this Blood Devourer should be made by a third-level poison master. It can deplete vital energy and worsen injuries. After being poisoned, it is almost indistinguishable from improperly healed injuries of a cultivator."

Later, take this elixir and continue to use it on the target you have found.

"All cultivators under my command in the Azure Water Pavilion are at your disposal. You must utterly destroy Fang Yi's reputation!"

"Yes, Hengdao obeys!" Hengdao bowed and respectfully accepted the alms bowl.

He sensed the energy of the spiritual liquid within the alms bowl and was astonished. Among the myriad arts of cultivation in the Azure Water Pavilion, the path of spiritual medicine dominated the Great Cloud cultivation world.

But this was the first time I had heard of a lineage of poison masters, and that a cultivator had even mastered the art of spiritual poison to the third level.

'Is it due to the accumulated heritage of the Jade Water Pavilion, or did it seek assistance from the Zoroastrian Church?'

Hengdaozi felt envious. If Tiandaowu had such resources, it wouldn't have needed to form an alliance with Biyuege.

"Uncle-Master Yuzhu, please allow me to test the medicinal properties—"

Master Yuzhu nodded slightly, his eyes filled with admiration.

Biyue Pavilion is not without its fake alchemists; the fact that Hengdaozi was able to handle this matter shows that he is capable and meticulous in his work.

He patted the spirit pet pouch at his waist, and a crimson spiritual light flew out, transforming into a second-tier low-grade red-haired white fire ape.

"disease!"

A foot-long black magic weapon swept past the alms bowl, its sharp blade coated with a thin layer of spiritual poison, before slicing through the flesh of the red-haired white fire ape.

A quarter of an hour later.

Looking at the Fire Ape, whose energy was low and whose blood was depleted, Hengdaozi's face showed delight.

"With the help of this spiritual poison, we will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort and completely ruin Fang Yi's reputation."

Xuanzhen Garden.

A water mirror hangs high, reflecting the cultivators whose auras are hidden outside the garden.

"Holding a knife?"

Thinking of the cultivator he had treated today, Fang Yi's gaze sharpened, his expression turning slightly cold. "A third-tier spiritual poison, its medicinal properties are concealed. If I weren't also a third-tier poison master, I might have suffered a great loss."

"However, we've finally waited for you to make your move."

A faint green hue appeared at Fang Yi's fingertips, which was the third-order spiritual poison extracted from the cultivator who came to diagnose him.

He did not cure the cultivators tainted by the spiritual poison; he only extracted a portion of the poison as a sample.

"A letter from Senior Brother Gu says the Golden-Eyed Ape King has broken through, which will only add fuel to the beast tide."

"Buzz!" The bells and cauldrons roared as the Five Poison Cauldrons were summoned.

Fang Yi's expression turned solemn as he threw the Red Toad Poison, Blood Corpse Poison, and Red-Tailed Scorpion Poison into the cauldron.
