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

Chapter 679 Minor Teleportation Array, Cave Dwelling Opens

The token in Xu Qingshe's hand was about the size of a palm. Although it was made of wood, it radiated a warm and lustrous light like jade.

[Aoki's Edict]

The four-character inscription flows freely and gracefully, with a powerful and enduring spiritual light flowing from the inscription itself.

"Boom!"

Smoke and dust rose, and a constant roar echoed from the ruins. The broken silver patterns were continuously repaired under the nourishment of the Azure Wood Edict, transforming into the outlines of the laws and prohibitions.

"boom!!"

In the center of the ruins, the ground was paved with jade, and on the plaza covered with weeds, silver spiritual light was outlined in array, stirring up changes in the spatial energy.

"Small teleportation array?"

A glint flashed in Fang Yi's eyes as he lowered his divine sense to feel the profound and unrestrained Daoist charm on the array.

He looked enlightened.

As a remnant of the Green Wood Palace, the Burial Abyss may contain spiritual artifacts.

Over a thousand years, the time has been repeatedly exploited by the coming and going Core Formation Realm cultivators and even Nascent Soul Realm Lords.

Even if some were left behind, they could not possibly be top-grade third-tier or even fourth-tier spiritual items.

However, if it is a small teleportation array that connects to the spiritual lands and grottoes, it might be possible to deceive cultivators who come here to search for treasures.

Xu Qingshe spoke up. "Senior Brother Fang, let's go!"

"Let my puppet try it out first."

Fang Yi patted his storage bag, and several black-striped spider puppets fell down, their eight limbs climbing into the small teleportation array.

He waved his sleeves, scattering countless spirit stones.

"Oh!"

The spirit stone shattered into powder and flew around. The rich spiritual energy was swallowed up by the small teleportation array. Silver spiritual light flowed, and the black-patterned spider puppet dissipated.

Xu Qingshe muttered almost inaudibly, "Senior Brother Fang is being too cautious."

I've traveled to and from this sacred ground behind the small teleportation array several times, and it's no longer dangerous at all.

A look of heartache appeared in his eyes, even though there were spirit stones that would benefit from the accompanying medicinal herbs for the puppet armor.

To repair the Heaven and Earth Furnace, Xu Qingshe also used up most of the spirit stones in his storage bag.

I'm really short of money right now.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so eager to explore the Burial Abyss and collect spiritual items.

……

'About three thousand miles away?' Fang Yi pondered the faint feedback coming from the puppet inlaid with the soul bead.

With a wave of his sleeves, a blue aura enveloped the astonished Seven Rings, and they fell into the small teleportation array.

"Xiao Qi, go and explore the ruins of Qingmu Palace..."

"Me?" Seven-Ring looked helpless and sighed. His master was truly too outstanding when it came to being inhuman.

Before Qi Jie could speak, a beam of spiritual light descended from Fang Yi's fingertip.

The Black-Striped Spider Puppet is highly agile and has a self-ignition restriction. If a cultivator at the Core Formation stage or above were to attack it, it would have already self-destructed.

The sensations transmitted were definitely not like that.

The spiritual land opposite the Small Teleportation Array is almost certainly safe and sound, but Fang Yi still asked Qi Jie to confirm it.

"Buzz!" Spirit stones fell like stars, the small teleportation array spun, Seven Rings' silver fur fluttered, and his figure turned into afterimages and disappeared.

"It cost another eight hundred low-grade spirit stones. Senior Brother Fang is being far too extravagant."

After the beast tide ends, spirit healers can earn spirit stones, but it won't be as easy as before...

Although the cost wasn't his own spirit stones, the pain in Xu Qing's eyes became increasingly apparent.

'Young Xu, are you really feeling the pinch from paying those 1600 spirit stones?'

The bronze ring flashed with spiritual light, and Old Chen frowned slightly before reprimanding him.

'Fang Yi's way of doing things is the right way!'
Although you have cleared and explored the Minor Teleportation Array, the Burial Soul Abyss is a relic of the Green Wood Palace.

A thousand years ago, the cultivators of the Qingmu Palace, who were on the verge of extinction, were able to corrupt fourth-order spiritual veins, mixing wood-attribute spiritual poison and yin-yang ghost energy into their spiritual energy.

What kind of contingency plans will follow remains to be seen!

Old Chen sighed slightly.

The [Heaven and Earth Furnace Technique] was passed down from him. He was there to help when the natal magic weapon was being repaired, so he knew about it.

Xu Qingshe paid a heavy price to ensure that the Heaven and Earth Furnace's grade did not drop and its vital energy was not damaged.

Although he had refined several batches of pills and made some profits, he was still penniless compared to Fang Yi, who had made a fortune during the beast tide and occupied several spirit mines and clam farms.

But it was definitely not because Xu Qingshe was stingy with spirit stones that she risked her life...

Alchemists earn a substantial income, and if something can be resolved with spirit stones, they certainly won't risk their lives.

"Green Snake, haven't you learned your lesson from Bi Yanzi yet?"

If you hadn't become so unrestrained after condensing your Golden Core, how could you have been targeted by three Core Formation cultivators from the Chen family...

He was driven to the brink of despair several times, and his Golden Core rank almost dropped?

Old Chen was disappointed in his son's lack of progress; his lips moved constantly, and his mind was filled with reprimands.

'Learn and act with ease.

Since he began to condense his Golden Core, many cultivators throughout Sudu Mountain, including his sworn enemies from Xuanyang Mountain, have believed that he has failed to achieve this goal.

The relationship between Biyue Pavilion and Xuanyang Mountain...

Ah!
Young Xu, think about it. With Fang Yi's Wood Dao Golden Core combined with his third-tier spiritual medicine skills, he can almost completely wipe out the foundation of the spiritual medicine path accumulated by the Azure Water Pavilion.

If Biyue Pavilion finds out, what will they do?

The Jade Water Pavilion possesses a profound and unfathomable foundation, far surpassing the power of the three ruthless members of the Chen family…

'Don't be angry, Old Chen, Green Snake knows...'

Xu Qingshe probed into the bronze ring with her divine sense, soothing Old Chen who was talking incessantly.

He felt helpless. Although he admired Fang Yi's character, Old Chen compared him to Fang Yi every day.

He couldn't help but feel resentful.

Old Master Chen clearly chose him to inherit his mantle, yet he valued Fang Yi so much…

"Oh!"

A silvery aura flowed around, and a memory bead on the small teleportation array glowed with a faint light.

Fang Yi scanned the Flowing Shadow Pearl with his divine sense and saw that the plum blossom mark that Seven Precepts had specially left on the pearl was lifelike.

He understood, took a step forward, and flicked out another eight hundred spirit stones from his fingertips.

"Junior Brother Xu, you can go now!"

"Here it comes!" Xu Qingshe lifted his boots and landed on the small teleportation array in the blink of an eye.

"Buzz!"

The spiritual power of the spirit stones surged forth, and silver spiritual light flowed. Only a few seeds, imbued with the power of withering and flourishing, fell into the ruins.

The wood seeds hatched and transformed into thick green vines, grayish-yellow moss, and small shrubs...

Many plants are vying for beauty, but because they are rarely visited, they add a touch of desolation to the ruins.

……

Amidst the jagged, rocky forest, a crimson spring flows gently.

Who is it!
Again!
Again!
Who on earth stole the Crimson Flame Lotus that I so carefully cultivated?!

Looking at the empty spirit spring, the Crimson Flame Lotus, which should have stood tall and graceful, had long since vanished without a trace.

The Crimson-Eyed Ghost King gritted his teeth, his fierce and malevolent aura spiraling out of control, transforming into howling winds and raging flames.

In just a few breaths, the entire stone forest was burned to ashes, the jagged rocks turned into magma, and bubbles of varying sizes rolled and flowed in the cracks in the earth.

"Ok!"

The Crimson-Eyed Ghost King's eyes flashed with a fierce light, shooting out three feet of sharp light. His divine sense surged out like a tide, piercing towards a corner of the sky.

"You lowly scoundrels, get out here!"

The prayer beads in his hand exploded into forty-nine gray spiritual lights, which enveloped the pale skull and attacked.

"boom!"

A crimson jade ruler emerged. Its entire body shimmered with a radiant, crystal-like light, emanating and absorbing spiritual energy.

"Snapped!"

The glass ruler struck down, sending the terrifying, grotesque skull flying.

"Mysterious Glazed Ruler?"

Is it the Crimson Princess?

You lowly servant, hiding your face and lurking, get out here and face me!

The Crimson-Eyed Ghost King's face was ruthless. His sharp five fingers pierced his chest, breaking several sections of the Yin Bone, which was formed from condensed soul power.

"Buzz!" The Yin Bone exploded and merged into the skull's spiritual light, transforming into a long white bone mace with thirty-six sections and bone script covering all four sides.

"Om~"

"Om~"

The white bone mace, surrounded by a ghostly light, lashed down, colliding hundreds of times with the magical artifact, the Mysterious Light Glazed Ruler, in the blink of an eye.

"Click~"

A thin crack spread across the Xuan Guang Liuli ruler, startling a slender jade hand that gleamed with silver light as it pressed down on the ever-spreading deep, cold crack on the ruler.

"It really is you, Chi Yan Ji! How dare you steal my elixir!"
"Hand over the Crimson Flame Lotus to me immediately, or I'll personally take action, and you won't be able to withstand it..."

"Zhu Tong, this was not done by me!"

A swirling pink and black mist arose as long, slender legs stepped out, their toenails painted with crimson cardamom.

Chi Yan Ji's face was as white as powder, with bluish-gray veins showing through. Her cheekbones were adorned with plum blossoms painted with blood, and her eyelashes were stained with fragments of blood-red coral.

With her eyes lowered, spring seemed to be in full bloom, and the baby skull bells adorning her dark hair constantly emitted a sound like a child crying.

"It wasn't you, Crimson Beauty, who did this?" The Crimson-Eyed Ghost King's face was cold and deep, with a ghostly light flickering within.

"If this was not your doing, what brings you here?"
Although the Burial Abyss is vast, the number of spirits that have gained sentience is limited.

Hey, don't call me Crimson Beauty, you're here to catch up with me!

Chi Yan Ji's expression turned slightly furious as she thought of the Fire-Eating, Flame-Seeking Spirit Fox that she had specially trained, and felt helpless.

'Who exactly beat me to it?'

As a remnant of the Green Wood Palace, the Burial Abyss is a vast area with abundant spiritual energy.

However, the ruins are a mixture of spiritual and ghostly energy, and contain wood poison, resulting in a very limited supply of spiritual medicines.

She came here precisely to use the power of the Flame-Seeking Spirit Fox bloodline to investigate the vital energy of spiritual herbs, as she needed to harvest them.

But before she could even make a move, the spiritual spring was already empty!
"It's really you!"

The once calm Zhu Tong Gui Wang suddenly shone with a dark light, and a bridge of white bones grew beneath his feet as he charged towards Chi Yan Ji.

His eyes were cold, and he spoke in a low voice.

“Okay! Okay! Okay!

"You coveted one of my Crimson Flame Lotuses, and you still won't let go, instead eyeing my lotus in this stone forest..."

"boom!"

The crimson aura of crystal and the ghostly blue flames collided violently, creating howling winds and churning lava.

A quarter of an hour later, looking at the Xuan Guang Liuli Ruler, which was constantly suppressed by the White Bone Corridor Bridge and was at a disadvantage, Chi Yan Ji frowned slightly and looked solemn.

When did this old ghost's cultivation level improve to such a degree?

Seeing the Crimson-Eyed Ghost King pressing closer and closer, a look of urgency appeared on her face for the first time!

"Zhu Tong, I didn't do anything to the Crimson Flame Lotus!"

The Crimson-Eyed Ghost King sneered repeatedly, his heart filled with disdain.

"Red Beauty, do you dare to swear an oath that if you ever covet my Crimson Flame Lotus, you will suffer a backlash to your soul?"

His cultivation level will be difficult to advance further in the future!

Chi Yan Ji bit her lip secretly.

It is unknown which old monster acted, but he abducted the Crimson Flame Lotus, leaving not a single piece of spiritual soil behind.

It is watertight and leaves no trace.

She coveted the Crimson Flame Lotus, a third-tier spiritual herb that was almost extinct in the Burial Soul Abyss.

But it was only during the preparations...

'Which old bastard made the move!'
I'm being made the scapegoat!

"It's really you!"

Seeing that Chi Yan Ji Chen didn't offer any further explanation, the Crimson-Eyed Ghost King erased the last trace of doubt in his heart, his eyes flashing with a chilling light, and drove the White Bone Corridor Bridge to crush down once more.

"Outrageous!" The Crimson Flame Princess twisted her graceful body, and bluish-black lines appeared on her fair skin.

"Buzz!"

She removed the jade hairpin from her temple, which, surrounded by light and flowing runes, transformed into a hundred-foot-tall jade wall.

"boom!"

The white bone corridor bridge and the hundred-foot jade wall crashed down.

"The Crimson Princess said softly."

"Having both reached the mid-stage of Core Formation and weathered many storms, do you think I'm afraid of Zhu Tong?"

……

A flash of silver light appeared on the small teleportation array.

Fang Yi, cradling the adorable silver-white beast, landed on the altar, feeling the scorching spiritual wind rushing towards him.

His divine sense swept across the landscape, revealing a continuous expanse of lava lakes dotted with dark limestone islands.

The island was silent, with only a few scattered weeds and shrubs.

"We've gone deep into the underground fire veins..."

"Where does the opportunity that the Green Snake spoke of lie?" Fang Yi asked.

A trace of a fourth-tier spirit creature!

This is a great opportunity that could provoke a Grand Master to take action and fight to the death!

"Senior brother, please come with me..."

Xu Qingshe transformed into a streak of crimson light, splashing orange lava as it plunged into the depths of the lake.

Fang Yi waved his sleeves, and the ancient painting of Bishui unfolded, transforming into a deep blue water curtain that protected him.

"Splash!" The azure light also probed into the bottom of the lava lake.

……

Half an hour later.

Within the crimson magma, occasionally, first-tier spiritual objects such as Fire Spirit Iron and Crimson Pearl Stone would shimmer with spiritual light.

Amidst the azure light, Fang Yi's robes billowed, and he pulled out azure nets from the Void Realm's Withering and Flourishing Banner, retrieving numerous spiritual objects.

He sighed slightly. The lava lake was vast and supported by fire veins. In the remote area, one could occasionally obtain second-tier spiritual items.

He reached out and picked up a second-tier crimson jewel, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Even the smallest mosquito leg is still meat, let alone a second-tier spiritual creature, which is not a mosquito leg at all.

His consciousness flowed, his fingertips made hand gestures, the six-pointed plum blossoms in his eyes swirled, and his body radiated a clear, gentle light.

"A mid-grade third-tier fire vein?"
Such pure fire-attribute spiritual energy! It's enough to sustain Junior Brother Xu as he condenses his golden core here..."

"Senior Brother Fang, we've arrived," Xu Qingshe said.

"This is where my previous opportunity came from."

……

An hour later.

Beneath the lava lake, twelve thick stone pillars rise into the sky, their bodies radiating crimson spiritual patterns, forming a light barrier that stretches for hundreds of miles, isolating the inside from the outside.

“Senior Brother Fang, the wood-attribute spiritual energy that was leaked earlier was from this cave…”

Xu Qingshe looked helpless. With a flourish of his sleeves, the furnace of heaven and earth transformed into a blazing sun that pressed down upon them.

"boom!"

Under the provocation and threat of the Heaven and Earth Furnace, the protective array's cyan and brown spiritual patterns flowed, transforming into an ancient, verdant tree with rampant branches and leaves.

Leaves fall, and azure light descends, a rich vitality that never ceases. The ancient, verdant trees, like parasols, support the furnace of heaven and earth.

"Senior Brother Fang, this great formation is just like that, blocking me from advancing an inch..."

Occasionally, array runes would flow, like water overflowing when full, with the aura of top-grade spiritual wood seeping out…

"A mid-grade third-tier protective array?"

Fang Yi's eyes gleamed as he communicated with the silver-white beast in his arms.

for a while
The ancient Five Poisons Cauldron was summoned, and worms and scabies rolled around, constantly gnawing at it.

"..."

"..."

Time passes slowly.

A crack the size of a thumb appeared on the great formation.

"Such pure wood-attribute spiritual energy!"

Fang Yi's eyes showed anticipation. The overflowing wood-attribute spiritual energy alone was enough to prove that there were high-quality wood-attribute spiritual objects in this cave.
