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

Chapter 653 The Treasure Pavilion is Established, Hunting the Heavenly Blade
"I have relinquished the position of head manager, and the position of second manager of the Treasure Pavilion will be handed over to a cultivator under my command."

Yan Youtai knew perfectly well that Fang Yi was cunning and shrewd.

Even with their reputations utterly ruined by the tacit cooperation of various factions, they can still form alliances and seize any remaining opportunities to regain them.

If it were him, he might not have been able to seize this fleeting opportunity.

Although the position of head manager of Duobao Pavilion is only temporary, Qian Junhe will eventually make it official and remove the word "temporary".

Even if Qian Junhe lacked the ability, Fang Yi could still make him do it.

Qin Yu, Huo Zhao, and Li Heng, these three disciples who received instruction from Fang Yi, performed remarkably well amidst the beast tide.

Sending one of them to secure a position in the Treasure Pavilion would not be difficult.

Fang Yi's reluctance to send disciples is most likely due to the need to avoid miscellaneous matters that might hinder their cultivation.

"Agreed!" Master Hu Lei agreed, making the final decision.

For him, who had been in charge of the ancient city of Dadu for over a hundred years, the more Duobaoge developed, the more benefits he received.

Fang Yi nodded slightly, also offering no objection.

With a Grand Master in charge, even if Tianji Peak is confident of bringing the two managers of Duobao Pavilion under its wing and earning more profits, it still has to make concessions.

In the cultivation world, cultivation level is paramount, and even fellow cultivators compete with each other, resorting to underhanded tactics.

His ability to snatch food from the tiger's mouth is due to the fact that Chi Meizi is about to condense his Nascent Soul, and Xuan Yang Mountain is expected to make further progress. All parties have a tacit understanding, fighting but not breaking apart.

If he had acted like this in the White Bone Sect, the Joyful Union Sect, or even the Heavenly Blade Dock or the Azure Water Pavilion, the Grand Master would have already visited him and persuaded him to 'voluntarily' give up.

Fang Yi took out a token from his sleeve, his magic power surging forth, and life force gathered on the token, carving out a great blue sun, within which a sixth-grade lotus swayed.

A blue light emanated from his hand, transforming into a spiritual cloud that lifted the token and flew towards Yan Youtai.

"Give this Qingyang Token to Senior Brother Youtai, and then send a disciple with the token to Duobao Pavilion."

My nephew Junhe will help him secure his position as the second manager of the Treasure Pavilion.

"Does Junhe know what to do?" Fang Yi's stern gaze fell upon him.

"Rest assured, Sect Leader, I will do my utmost to assist Master Yan in securing my position as the Second Manager of the Treasure Pavilion."

Qian Junhe hurriedly spoke, afraid that if he was even a second too late, Fang Yi would change his mind.

The position of head manager of the Treasure Pavilion is coveted by countless cultivators.

As far as he knew, three fake alchemists in the ancient city had already visited the three caves of Ziguang, Xuanji, and Xuanzhen for the sake of their descendants.

Within the Xuan Yang Mountain gate, there were also cultivators heading towards the ancient city of Da Du, including many disciples of Core Formation True Persons and direct descendants of False Core Formation True Persons.

Yan Youtai gave Fang Yi a deep look, did not refuse, and reached out to take the Qingyang Token.

Since Duobaoge shared in the profits and had not crossed any lines, he did not pursue the matter too much.

Unlike Fang Yi, and unlike the decline of the Ancestral Hall lineage, the Tianji Peak lineage is powerful and influential.

If they wished, it wouldn't be difficult to push for another head manager of the Treasure Pavilion.

Even if one were to consider the reputation of the Thunder God, it would be no difficult task to ruin his future by leveraging the power of the Great Master.

"I'll take it."

Yan Youtai nodded slightly, then fell silent, but neither he nor Master Hu Lei left, clearly having other important matters to attend to.

Fang Yi raised an eyebrow, seemingly lost in thought.

Although the location in the Treasure Pavilion is quite valuable, its main purpose is to accumulate spirit stones and collect near-third-tier spirit herbs and items.

It's not possible to find a low-grade third-tier spiritual item in sixty years.

For Yan Youtai and Hu Lei Zhenren.

The former has a powerful backer, an abundance of spiritual stones and objects, and many magical treasures.

The latter had cultivated for over three hundred years and was quite wealthy, accumulating ordinary spiritual items, so he didn't care too much about them.

"Junhe, you may leave now. Take good care of the Treasure Pavilion and do not slack off," Fang Yi said.

Qian Junhe bowed deeply to Fang Yi, expressing his gratitude. "Thank you for your high regard, Master. I will certainly not disappoint you."

This disciple will now take his leave.

After Qian Junhe retreated, Fang Yi released a beam of spiritual light from his sleeve. Within the light, the ancient blue water map unfurled, transforming into a water curtain that separated the inside from the outside.

He then looked at Yan Youtai. If something serious had happened, this third-level celestial strategist would have to step in.

really!

Yan Youtai invoked the Heavenly Secrets Eight Trigrams Plate, and silver spiritual light swam like a fish, eventually transforming into a vast river.

A few moments.

Yan Youtai's temples were covered in sweat, and his breathing was somewhat rapid. Activating this level of Heavenly Secret Technique had also taken a toll on him.

Master Hu Lei, who was also aware of the situation, spoke up, "I would be grateful if Junior Brother Fang could lend a hand."

Upon seeing this, Fang Yi produced a verdant spirit banner from his sleeve, with images of black fungus, precious lotus, spirit ginseng, and various other spiritual herbs appearing on its surface.

The spirit banners fluttered, the blue light shone brightly, and the five-colored lotus and the azure treasure mushroom appeared one after the other, landing on Yan Youtai's Dharma body.

Medical Secrets: The Mysterious Ganoderma Spirit Ascension Method
Medical Secrets: The Five Lotus Qi Nourishing Method
Feeling his soul power recover, his dantian was filled with a continuous flow of magical power.

Yan Youtai's face was fierce, and his fingertips turned into afterimages as he unleashed three thousand spells.

The Secret Technique of the Heavenly Secrets: Mixing Black and White.

"Buzz!" The Heavenly Secrets Eight Trigrams Plate vibrated, and an inexplicable energy transformed into invisible ripples, which spread rapidly outward from the Xuanzhen Garden.

Shiweixian, Duobaoge, Zhanjinyuan, Yulanfu, Kuanzhai Alley.
'The secrets of heaven have been completely disrupted.' Fang Yi's eyes closed slightly, and the phantom of a six-pointed plum blossom appeared.

With the help of the Xuan Tian Ling Teng and Changsun Jie's unlucky spirit body, his mastery of divination has reached the second-tier upper level.

Although not entirely ignorant, one could vaguely discern that the secrets of heaven had been manipulated, black and white confused, and utterly turned into a tangled mess.

Such a chaotic state of celestial secrets would be difficult for even a master of the third rank of the Celestial Secrets Dao to find a connection amidst the myriad threads.

Fang Yi wondered what schemes the sect was plotting.

The Crimson Yin has not yet advanced to the middle grade of the third rank, and the Crimson-tailed Scorpion Spirit Puppet nurtured in the Dantian Qi Sea is not yet ready for any unexpected complications.

Although the ancient city was in turmoil, Fang Yi knew what was going on. Let alone a great master who could rival the local lords.

Even against a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, he would avoid direct confrontation.

"Thank you for helping Junior Brother Fang to harmonize your magical power and replenish your vital energy."

Yan Youtai took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, and a bright green pill the size of a longan rolled into his palm.

He swallowed the pill, and his complexion regained a rosy hue.

"Truly worthy of being called a master of medicine."

Feeling the inexhaustible magical power in his dantian and the rich vitality in his body, he exclaimed in admiration.

For this reason, Yan Youtai was hesitant and did not completely break off relations with Fang Yi.

In the past hundred years, only Fang Yi has reached the third level in the path of spiritual healing in the Great Cloud Immortal Cultivation World.

"We're fellow disciples supporting each other, Senior Brother Yan, there's no need for such formalities." Fang Yi smiled gently, his demeanor as warm and refined as jade.

Master Hu Lei nodded inwardly, acknowledging Fang Yi's gratitude, understanding of the bigger picture, and consideration for the overall situation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have offered so much support and silently shared in the benefits of Duobao Pavilion.

Fang Yi doesn't have the support of a Grandmaster.

“Although Tiandaowu tried its best to conceal it, the sect still knew that Chen Xian had perished at Sudu Mountain,” Yan Youtai said.

"Chen Xian has fallen!" Fang Yi's face showed astonishment, his face twitched, and he seemed to find it hard to believe.

Who did it?
Although Chen Xian, a seasoned True Person, had not yet reached the mid-stage of Core Formation, his natal magic weapon had already been fully refined.

To take his life, at least three cultivators of the same level would need to intervene. Who in Sudu Mountain could bring him down? Fang Yi stared intently at the burly purple-robed cultivator.

"Could it be Senior Brother Hu Lei?"

“It wasn’t me who made the move,” Hu Lei Zhenren interrupted. “Neither was it the Nine Curves or the Jade Bead.”

Given Chen Xian's resources, he could have easily escaped if a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator had attacked him.

"Who is that?" Fang Yi frowned, looking puzzled.

Killing Chen Xian would be enough for him to advance his status in Xuan Yang Mountain, but he had no intention of admitting it.

Chen Sheng, the leader of Tiandaowu, is a cultivator at the sixth level of the Core Formation stage. He is no ordinary person and wields the sect's most treasured artifact, making him capable of fighting against even a Grandmaster.

Seeing Fang Yi's reaction, Yan Youtai put aside a certain suspicion in his mind.

Chen Xian of Tiandaowu, who previously colluded with various forces, was the main force behind Fang Yi's tarnished reputation.

He also had news that after Hengdaozi's poison was removed, Chen Xian obtained a batch of puppet armor by bleeding.

Afterwards, he had frequent contact with Master Yuzhu and was also secretly plotting to hinder Fang Yi's reputation.

Then Chen Xian perished at Sudu Mountain, leaving him no choice but to ponder the matter.

Fang Yi was in the early stage of Core Formation. He had a low-grade third-tier demonic pet that could seriously injure or even kill Chen Xian if it was caught off guard.

"What are your plans within the sect?" Fang Yi asked meaningfully.

Yan Youtai and Hu Lei Zhenren exchanged a glance, a hint of killing intent flashing in their eyes, and then Yan Youtai spoke.

"Senior Brother Chi Mei is about to form his Nascent Soul."

The Hehuan Sect and the White Bone Sect have always stood by and not interfered in the conflict between their sects and the Biyue Pavilion, so we can let them go for now.

Jade Pearl Immortal and Chen Sheng are both Daoist partners, and it is now a fact that Heavenly Blade Dock and Azure Water Pavilion will join forces on September 19th this year.

Master Hu Lei suddenly spoke up. "Junior Brother Fang, as the sect leader, what do you think?"

"kill!

They forced Tiandaowu to abandon its interests in Dadu Ancient City.

Fang Yi's eyes were cold. "With Chen Xian gone, we've lost a Core Formation cultivator, and Tian Dao Wu will be unable to spare any resources in the short term."

Even if he could free up his hands, with the sect's resources, they would make sure he couldn't.

"The Jade Water Pavilion will definitely take action to stop it."

Master Hu Lei spoke up. "The six forces in Dadu Ancient City are entangled and mutually restraining."

Neither the White Bone Sect nor the Joyful Union Sect would agree to this.

If Xuan Yang Mountain can kick Tian Dao Wu out of the game, it might very well force Bai Gu Men and He Huan Zong out of the game in the future.

Even the Nine-Bend Immortal did not want the Great Expansion Ancient City and its two rivals to become too powerful, thus reducing the Wind Spirit Immortal City's room for maneuver.

"We will do everything in our power to get Tiandaowu out of the game, and all the extra profits will be distributed among the sects. We will not take a single share."

If that's not enough, explore the spiritual veins and springs of Mount Sumeru, and the shops and caves of the ancient city.
The sect can further concede some benefits to appease all parties involved. All important matters can be conceded for Senior Brother Red Eyebrow's Nascent Soul stage."

A ruthless glint flashed in Fang Yi's eyes. The lingering presence of Tian Dao Wu was truly infuriating.

He intentionally lured the White Bone Sect into the scheme, using the sect's power to plot against the White Bone Sect's prized treasure, the White Bone Demon God.

Even if the White Bone Sect has a thousand thoughts, it is difficult to make a move if they do not enter the game.

"This... let me think about it for a moment." Master Hu Lei paced back and forth, his face hesitant.

In the ancient city of Dadu, the shopkeepers who control the shops, sacred sites, and various talismans and elixirs that sell their lifeblood are none other than others.

Xuan Yang Mountain's advantages in the ancient city are attributed to his lineage, which accounts for a full 70%.

Fang Yi understood that satisfying all three factions would be no small feat.

He spoke up. "Senior Brother Hu Lei, the loss is only temporary."

Once Senior Brother Chi Mei condenses his Nascent Soul, he will earn back his current efforts tenfold or even a hundredfold.

Putting everything else aside, does Senior Brother recall that pill formula hidden in the sect's inner treasury?

"Purple Thunder Refining Divine Pill?" Master Hu Lei pondered. He had read the only pill formula in the sect that could help cultivate the Thunder Spirit Root more than a hundred times.

Unfortunately, precious pills are hard to come by.

Fang Yi continued, "It is difficult for a Core Formation cultivator to refine the Purple Thunder Divine Refining Pill."

For a Nascent Soul cultivator, obtaining a Purple Thunder Refining God Pill is not difficult.

With the help of this precious elixir, Senior Brother also has a chance to become a Great True Person.

"Great Master" Hu Lei Zhenren murmured to himself, a look of excitement flashing in his eyes.

Reaching the mid-stage of Core Formation was already the limit of his foundation. With the accumulation of magical power in the future, he could at most cultivate to the sixth level of Core Formation.

If you want to go further, you will need external assistance.

The Purple Thunder Refining God Pill, a third-grade superior pill, is a formula obtained from the Xuan Yang Secret Treasury five hundred years ago.

Since obtaining the formula, I have never been able to refine the elixir.

This pill uses the Purple Thunder Heart, which is at the near-fourth rank, as its main ingredient. To open the furnace, it requires the help of a near-grandmaster who has touched the fourth rank of alchemy.

Not to mention the difficulty in finding the main ingredient, even if one did find it, it would be difficult for someone of Hu Lei Zhenren's status to find a master alchemist to help.

"Senior Brother Hu Lei, this is an opportunity we must not miss," Fang Yi advised.

"I and Junior Brother Yan will report everything truthfully to Senior Brother Chi Mei, so that Senior Brother Hu Lei's efforts will not be in vain."

Yan Youtai's eyes swirled with Bagua runes. After deducing the meaning, he took half a step forward.

“Junior Brother Fang is right. This kind of effort should be reported to the sect.”

Neither Grandmaster Tianque nor Senior Brother Chimei would mistreat Senior Brother.

Master Hu Lei pondered for a moment. Satisfying the White Bone Sect, the Joyful Union Sect, and the Nine-Bend Old Ghost would be no small sum.

However, Xuan Yang Mountain could go further, as Fang Yi said, by receiving support from the sect. He was not unable to even glimpse the realm of a Great True Person.

He gave Fang Yi a deep look and sighed softly.

"Junior Brother Fang, you are truly skilled. Your words have filled me with admiration. I will consider this matter further."
"If the beast tide doesn't recede, leaving Heavenly Blade Dock will come at a hefty price."

Having said that, Master Hu Lei transformed into a purple streak of light and departed before Fang Yi could speak.

Upon seeing this, Yan Youtai narrowed his eyes slightly, and a wisp of cyan spiritual light flew out from his sleeve to block the attack.

"Brother Hu Lei, this is an opportunity not to be missed!"

A wisp of blue light appeared, and Fang Yi stepped in front of him, speaking.

"This matter is of utmost importance, so let Senior Brother Hu Lei give it some serious consideration."

Yan Youtai's eyes turned cold, and he did not back down. The azure spiritual light surged three times in power and swept towards Fang Yi.

Fang Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, tapped his fingertip, and a blue halo spread out, transforming into a delicate blue lotus.

"boom!"

The two beams of azure light collided, neither giving way, and eventually dissipated together.

"Junior Brother Fang, your magical power is so pure!" Yan Youtai's eyes gleamed, his robes fluttering in the wind.

Fang Yi's gaze swept over the Nine Wood Azure Dragon Staff. This magic weapon was of excellent quality and was already evolving its fourth layer of magical restriction.

He smiled. "I can't compare to Senior Brother Yan's wealth."

The Nine-Wood Azure Dragon Staff appeared in his hand. Yan Youtai channeled his magic power, eager to test Fang Yi's abilities.

Both being Core Formation True Immortals, Hu Lei True Immortal has always been neutral. If he suppresses Fang Yi, he will be able to seize control of the Great Expansion Ancient City.
