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

Chapter 692 Taking Advantage of the Situation to Obtain Treasure, Ghost King Intervenes

Chen Ang's expression stiffened slightly, feeling annoyed. This Fang Yi was shameless, and his small-minded background made him too short-sighted.

[Divine Craftsmanship Puppet Spirit Treasure Book], and two third-tier high-grade spiritual items.

What else does Fang Yi want?

"Fang Yi, due to the True Lord's decree, the inheritance of the spiritual artifact cannot be handed over to you."

"You've misunderstood, it's not about spirits." Fang Yi looked at Chen Ang through the cave entrance. This old man was cunning; even in his slumber, he was being watched by magical artifacts. Fang Yi's many methods were ineffective.

"Why is that?" Chen Ang asked, puzzled.

If the inheritance and spiritual objects cannot be handed over to Fang Yi, what other benefits are there in the cave that would allow this minor sect disciple to scheme against him?

Fang Yi's expression hesitated and changed, and after a moment, he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"The secrets of the cave dwelling are precious. If the news is leaked and attracts others, it will be detrimental to the inheritance of the Qingmu Palace's lineage."
We urge the real person to sign a legal contract with Xu Qingshe to prevent the information from being leaked.

"Hmm?" Chen Ang thought to himself with amusement, looking at Xu Qingshe with a half-smile.

"Young man, what are your thoughts?"

"You damned bastard!" Old Chen's face was gloomy, and his eyes were blazing with anger.

'Fang Yi, you heartless bastard, this cave inheritance was clearly given up by you, kid Xu.'

A fourth-tier spirit creature!
Are you really going to turn your back on me like this?

Suppressing the trembling curses of "Old Chen" from within his bronze ring, Xu Qingshe remained calm.

'Don't be anxious, Mr. Chen.'

Chen Ang slowly grasped with his five fingers, and the [Golden Oath Precious Words Book] unfolded, transforming into a gilded legal contract.

"Xu Qingshe, will you sign the contract yourself, or shall I take action?"

"Don't be hasty, Master." Fang Yi stepped forward, blocking between Xu Qingshe and Chen Ang.

He moved his lips and spoke in a telepathic voice.

"Junior Brother Xu is skilled in alchemy and is the direct descendant of the Great Master of Xuan Yang Mountain. I will rely on him for my future cultivation and the collection of spiritual objects."

'After signing the contract, some compensation is still required.'

"A disciple of the Great Master of Xuan Yang Mountain?" Chen Ang felt gloomy, yet he was wary.

Over the past thousand years, Fang Yi and Xu Qingshe have been the only cultivators to fall into the cave.

Through subtle probing, he also learned of the formidable reputation of Xuan Yang Mountain. Although it lacked a Nascent Soul True Monarch to oversee it, it was merely a minor sect.

However, the great masters within the lineage that has been passed down for thousands of years are also people to be wary of.

He is no longer at the peak of his power.
Chen Ang's expression softened, his words gentle, and his explosive aura dissipated like a spring breeze and rain.

"Young friend Xu, may I ask which Grand Master of Xuan Yang Mountain you are a disciple of?"

"A disciple of the Great Master?" Old Chen's angry curses abruptly stopped.

Where does Xu Qingshe have a Grand Master?

"My master is from the lineage of Wugengzi of Xuanyang Mountain, the Great Master of Divination, Tianquezi." Xu Qingshe was astonished. Years of tacit understanding allowed him to lie without any flaws.

The feng shui compass is used to adjust the wind and gather water, and the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches runes flow, evolving into the prototype of a blessed land.

He looked regretful. "It's a pity that my divination skills are ordinary, and I have not inherited my master's Heavenly Secrets Dao lineage."

He had no choice but to cultivate alchemy and feng shui techniques.

'The Great Master of Divination?'

The look of apprehension in Chen Ang's eyes grew even stronger. The Great Master was already difficult to deal with, let alone someone who cultivated the way of divination.

He also suspected that Xu Qingshe was bluffing.

However, upon examination with the Inkstone Mirror, it was discovered that the Golden Core was forged with a mid-grade Fire Spirit Root, and the practitioner had mastered third-order alchemy techniques while also cultivating Feng Shui.

Even with boundless good fortune and exceptional talent, Xu Qingshe would find it difficult to accomplish this without guidance.

Moreover, what about natural talent?
The Golden Elixir True Person was still trapped by the desire for fire and dryness, and his talent was far inferior to Fang Yi's.

How could one possibly master both alchemy and feng shui without guidance?
Seeing Chen Ang fall into the trap, Fang Yi revealed his true intentions. "Junior Brother Xu's natal magic weapon is damaged and needs to be nourished by wood to generate fire."

"Why not offer some compensation in person? It would also be for the sake of the legacy of my Qingmu Palace."

Seeing Xu Qingshe holding the Heaven and Earth Furnace in his hand, he appeared a hundred feet away in the blink of an eye.

Chen Ang pondered the matter.

In over a thousand years, it is rare to encounter a Golden Core cultivator of the Wood Flourishing Dao, whose vitality is abundant. If this opportunity is missed, who knows when another will come along.

He compromised.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, there are not many spiritual items in the secret vault of your cave, but there is one treasure that can replenish the source of fire."

However, since you have given up the [Azure Wood Edict], according to the True Lord's decree, the spiritual object is no longer yours.

"However, since Fang Yi has spoken, I will grant you an opportunity."

"boom!"

The precious charcoal, as black as jade marrow and as hard as black iron, with thousands of golden threads embedded inside, fell into Chen Ang's palm.

"A hundred years of green wood bones, a handful of gold from ashes."

This is a rare treasure from the Fire Dao, crafted from top-grade spiritual wood, a third-tier superior-grade wood-elemental golden thread charcoal.

Xu Qingshe's eyes gleamed as he was struck in a vital spot.

He had already sensed the thirst of the Heaven and Earth Furnace for the Wood-based Golden Silk Charcoal.

get it!
Chen Ang's lips curled up. For a fire-cultivating cultivator, high-grade third-level spirit charcoal was almost as vital as life itself.

"Xu Qingshe, spirit charcoal is rare, and back then, even the Green Wood Palace had to rely on a Nascent Soul True Monarch."

I obtained three pieces of high-grade Wood Element Green Silk Charcoal from the Fire Worship Sect of the Great Yu Dynasty, and later exchanged two of them for a Golden Core True Person from the sect.

This precious charcoal was extremely rare; only one piece remained of it in Dayun.

He paused slightly, his gaze intense, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Simply signing a legal contract isn't enough. What price are you willing to pay?"

Xu Qing's throat was dry, and his lips moved several times, as if he was about to speak.

"Junior Brother Xu, calm down!" Fang Yi transmitted his voice into Xu Qingshe's soul.

'Do as I say, and I'll deal with this old devil.'

A sense of gratitude welled up in Xu Qingshe's heart, and she suppressed the burning desire within.

Fang Yi transmitted his voice again. 'Master, it is you who needs my help, not the other way around.'

What if we don't sign a legal contract?

Xu Qingshe's expression was solemn, and his words were sharp.

“True man, it is you who needs something from me, not the other way around.”

What if we don't sign a legal contract?

Chen Ang's expression changed slightly, not expecting Xu Qingshe to be so defiant. "You won't refuse my offer to take your life?!"

Lotus flowers swirled beneath Fang Yi's feet as he gracefully retreated, continuing to transmit his voice.

'Heh, Master Tianque already knew that I came to the Burial Soul Abyss to seek opportunities.'

If I were to fall, how crucial a third-tier alchemist would be to Xuan Yang Mountain! Fellow Daoist, please make your move!

Pulling tiger skin?
Xu Qingshe understood, his aura soaring, his robes fluttering in the wind.

'Heh, Master Tianque already knew that I came to the Burial Soul Abyss to seek opportunities.'

If I were to fall, how important would a third-grade alchemist be to Xuan Yang Mountain?

Fellow Daoist, you do not refuse Master Tianque; please, make your move!

His magical power flowed, and a wisp of energy from the bronze ring 'Old Chen' in his sleeve diluted and fell down.

"You think you can really take me down with a real fight?"

"Near-fourth rank?!" Chen Ang was shocked and surprised. After confirming it several times, his expression changed drastically.

Ordinary Grand Masters rarely possess fourth-tier techniques; even if they do, they keep them as trump cards and will not bestow them upon their disciples.

However, a third-tier high-grade divination master with extensive connections might be able to do so.

"It seems that Tian Quezi values ​​you highly."

With a wave of his sleeve, runes cascaded down like a waterfall, solidifying his divine soul.

A wooden ruler, surrounded by vitality, hummed softly, its jade-like light shimmering, and appeared in my hand.

"But I have dominated the cultivation world for five hundred years, how could you, a mere junior, dare to bully me!"

'Wood Road's top-grade magic weapon?
Chen Ang truly had a backup plan. The Green Wood Palace lives up to its reputation as a Nascent Soul sect; even with its inexplicable loss, the resources it left behind are exceptionally astonishing.

A beam of spiritual light descended from Fang Yi's fingertip, transforming into clusters of blue lotuses that separated Xu Qingshe from Chen Ang.

"Master, Junior Brother Xu, harmony is the most important thing in all things."

"It is only natural that the true master does not wish for the transmission of the Daoist lineage to be leaked."

Fang Yi transmitted his voice, advising, "True Person, Tian Quezi has reached the peak of Core Formation and once defeated two Great True Persons single-handedly."

Otherwise, I wouldn't want to offend Junior Brother Xu.

'Defeated two Great True Immortals?' Chen Ang thought solemnly. Tian Quezi had already reached the Perfection of Core Formation?

This is quite different from ordinary Great Masters, and the threat is greatly increased.

He pondered in his heart that Fang Yi had already enjoyed the benefits of the Green Wood Palace's legacy.

With the near-fourth-tier Azure Spirit Wood as bait and the [Wood Demon Great Puppet Scripture] as a lure, Fang Yi and he were in cahoots.

Therefore, it is not surprising why Xu Qingshe was made to sign the contract.

Seeing that Chen Ang's aura had eased and he was no longer confrontational, Fang Yi knew that Chen Ang was worried.

“Junior Brother Xu, a promise is a promise, and I trust you too.”

However, the matter of Qingmu's inheritance is of great importance, and Master Qingkui cannot afford to be uneasy.

"Why don't you and the real person each take a step back?"

Don't back down!
Due to the limitations imposed by the formation, Qing Kuizi must be extremely wary of Tian Quezi.

Fang Yi transmitted his voice into Xu Qingshe's ears, and a fierce look appeared in Xu Qingshe's eyes. The furnace of heaven and earth roared and transformed into a crimson sun.

"retreat?

Why should I quit?

Master Qingkui, I have received benefits from the Qingmu Palace and am willing to keep the secrets of its inheritance.

But if a legal contract is to be signed, then it must be in exchange for the wood, gold, and charcoal.

"Take out the sample of the legal contract." Fang Yi looked troubled, but his soul continued to transmit its message.

Chen Ang's intention was to create a living puppet to possess someone's body; for this reason alone, he would not take any risks whatsoever.

Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would give a divination master who has reached the peak of Core Formation some respect, let alone Chen Ang, who has become a formation spirit and is no longer the powerful Core Formation True Man.

He had Chen Ang figured it out!
"Qing Kuizi, this is the contract I have established. If you wish, you may use this as a model."

Xu Qingshe suppressed the burning desire in his heart; how could he not see that Chen Ang was already willing to back down?

He used his fingers as a brush, and with his magical power, he outlined and revealed inscriptions.

'Senior Brother Fang is truly cunning; he manages to extract benefits from the array spirit.'

Inside the bronze ring, 'Old Chen' also wore a strange expression. 'This Fang Yi's mind is incredibly precise; he seems to have Chen Ang completely under his thumb.'
Having such a thoughtful and shrewd friend is of great help to Xu.

"Ok?"

Chen Ang scanned the entire text, and his doubts were completely dispelled.

Such precise magical inscriptions could only be drawn by those skilled in demonic arts, those who guard against their fellow disciples, or those with exceptional shrewdness, such as celestial strategists.

"That's it.

I'll give Fang Yi face; you'll have to give me ten thousand spirit stones, or something of equal value.

This wood-based golden charcoal is yours.

As the [Golden Oath Precious Words Book] unfolded, strands of its origin were activated, and Chen Ang showed a reluctant expression.

Even though the Golden Oath Treasure Book is a mid-grade magic treasure, its original essence must be damaged in order to draw the magic contract.

The gilded contract floated in the air, awaiting Xu Qingshe's signature.

Xu Qingshe's face lit up with joy, and flames appeared at his fingertips, transforming into the mark of the alchemy furnace.

He pondered to himself, thinking that with what he had gained from the Burial Soul Abyss and the spiritual items he had obtained from the beast tide, it wouldn't be difficult to raise ten thousand spirit stones.

'This old ghost is still testing me!' Fang Yi's voice transmission struck Xu Qingshe's soul like a thunderclap.

"Green Snake, a disciple valued by the Great Master of Divination, must be a person of great wealth and endless troubles."

The correct answer is that Yan Youtai possesses a multitude of magical treasures.

Do not scatter spiritual items or pills; gather enough to reach ten thousand spirit stones.

Xu Qingshe was startled. This Green Puppet was cunning and treacherous. Once his weakness was discovered, even if his life was not in danger.

I wonder how much will be paid for this wood-based golden charcoal.

His expression turned slightly cold, and the mark on the Xuan Yan Ruler treasure hidden in his sleeve was quickly erased.

"Qing Kuizi, are you looking down on me, Xu?"
"A mere ten thousand low-grade spirit stones, and you still need spirit items to offset it?"

Xu Qingshe's hand left a mark on the alchemy furnace, and a streak of flame descended, landing in front of Chen Ang.

"The low-grade magic weapon, the Profound Flame Ruler, can be exchanged for 10,000 spirit stones or more; this treasure will serve as the exchange."

"Good baby!"

A mark of ancient wood fell from Chen Ang's fingertip, activating the magic contract, which transformed into two golden rays that entered his soul.

He caught the Xuan Yan Ruler, and the magical power he had been gathering dissipated.

If Xu Qingshe reveals a flaw, use spiritual items and materials to gather enough spirit stones.

He would never be favored by Tian Quezi, the great master of divination. His so-called quasi-fourth-order skills are most likely just bluffing.

Therefore, it's no wonder he was ruthless and made Xu Qingshe pay a heavy price.
Xu Qingshe took the Wood Element Golden Thread Charcoal and immediately threw it into the Heaven and Earth Furnace. The gilded flames surged, and the pure Wood Element power nourished the treasure and also helped his cultivation.

Fang Yi bowed respectfully. "Master, this disciple and Junior Brother Xu will take our leave now."

"Yes. Cultivate diligently. The Azure Spirit Wood and the puppet array inheritance in the cave are all waiting for you to inherit."

Chen Ang looked reluctant, but he kept mentioning the opportunities in the cave, trying to tempt Fang Yi.

"Boom!"

A quarter of an hour later, in the sea of ​​lava, the ancient blue map of the Azure Waters fluttered, and Fang Yi watched as the Azure Wood Cave completely disappeared.

Xu Qingshe smiled. "Thank you, Senior Brother Fang. With the help of this Wood Element Golden Silk Charcoal, the Heaven and Earth Furnace can be upgraded to a mid-grade magic weapon within ten years."

"We're just supporting each other. After our trip to Xuan Yang Mountain, junior brother, please don't reveal your Golden Core level."

Fang Yi reminded him again, "Let's go. The Abyss of Souls is not a place to linger."

Inside the Green Wood Cave, the ancient mirror of the inkstone shone brightly, reflecting a silver spiritual light as Fang Yi and Xu Qingshe departed.

Chen Ang sat cross-legged under the blue sky and green trees, gradually coming to his senses.

"Fang Yi is quite kind-hearted. He asked Xu Qingshe to sign a contract in exchange for a spiritual item?"
"They are loyal and sentimental."

He chuckled lightly, without the slightest hint of anger. "It's good to value relationships; the more loyal and righteous someone is, the fewer underhanded tactics they'll employ."

"If I were to encounter a ruthless and wary demonic cultivator, I would truly have a headache."

Ten days later.

Two streaks of light, one blue and one red, sped by; they were Fang Yi and Xu Qingshe.

"boom!"

A fair, delicate hand slammed down, unleashing a torrent of ghostly energy and a pervasive yin aura.

"There really are small bugs!"
"You caused me to be injured by Zhu Tong, so you will make amends with your lifeblood and soul!"

A swirling pink and black mist rose as long, slender legs stepped out, their toenails gleaming with the color of cardamom.

Chi Yan Ji's face was as white as powder, and on her grayish-white skin, blue veins twisted like earthworms.

She lowered her eyes, licked her pink lips, and the baby skull bells adorning her dark hair rang out incessantly.

"Two early-stage Core Formation cultivators dare to come to the Burial Soul Abyss?"

Fang Yi and Xu Qingshe exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes. They were no ordinary Core Formation cultivators.

A mid-grade, third-tier ghost king with unstable qi, who cultivates the path of Netherfire.

What a great opportunity!

'The main soul of the Void Realm Withering and Flourishing Banner has been found.' A blue lotus appeared beneath Fang Yi's feet, the ancient map of the Azure Water waved, and the Void Realm Withering and Flourishing Banner swayed behind him.

Xu Qingshe held the Heaven and Earth Furnace in his hand, surrounded by crimson light, like a god or demon.

'The wounded Ghost King?'

A third-tier Netherfire has been delivered right to our doorstep; we absolutely cannot let it go!
