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

Chapter 697 The Illusion Dissipates After the Gift of Treasures is Bestowed

Fang Yi placed the spirit wood into the jade box, affixed several spirit-sealing jade talismans, and then spoke.

"Senior Sister Wuhua, the Azure Sky Green Robe Sandalwood is precious, and Junior Brother possesses a wood-attribute magic treasure with no offensive or defensive methods."
"Does the gate contain any wooden magical artifacts for refining?"

Fang Yi possesses several top-tier methods for refining wooden magic treasures.

The Mirror of Life and Death, the Wheel of Yin and Yang, and the Staff of Five Clouds and Azure Sky
In the transmission of the Scripture of Life, Death and Prosperity, in addition to the Banner of Life and Death in the Void Realm, the methods of refining the Mirror of Life and Death and the Wheel of Yin and Yang are also passed down.

However, the main materials for this Qiankun Life and Death Mirror, besides spirit wood, also require the Qiankun Stone, a spiritual object from the universe; while the Yin-Yang Revolving Wheel requires third-order Yin-Yang attribute spirit wood.
The Five Cloud Azure Sky Staff, a top-grade magic weapon passed down in the Azure Wood Palace, was made from spirit wood found in the Burial Soul Abyss. However, even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice, and he did not possess any fourth-tier spirit wood.

In addition, Fang Yi also possessed several low-grade wood-based magic treasure refining methods.

However, its potential is limited; at most, it can refine three treasure restrictions.

Third-grade high-quality spirit wood is rare, and even the Great Cloud Realm has very few of it. Using it to refine low-grade magic weapons would be a waste of its resources.

In the early stages of the Core Formation battle, Fang Yi did not need any low-grade magic treasures to aid him or add to his success.

In the mid-stage of Core Formation in martial arts, ordinary low-grade wooden magic treasures are not as convenient to use as the Five Poison Cauldron.

With over a thousand years of history, Xuan Yang Mountain must possess a lineage of magical treasures made of wood.
Furthermore, the sect supports him in his struggle against cultivators from other sects and will never stand idly by.
"Junior brother is quite direct."

The Five Flowers Immortal chuckled and did not refuse, a dark blue spirit map flying out from his sleeve.

The spirit map slowly opened to both sides, with runes flowing through it.

It transformed into a delicate branch and leaf, surrounded by azure spiritual light, with runes covering the leaves and shimmering with layers of blue light.

"Junior brother, don't worry, the sect has already made preparations." A dark light appeared in Wu Hua Zhenren's eyes, as if he meant something.

"This [Azure Blood Bodhi] treasure is enough to refine the Azure Sky Sandalwood into a mid-grade magic weapon."

If my junior brother has another opportunity to supplement the sect's resources, he might be able to create a treasured artifact for the sect.

"The forbidden law of the Azure Blood Bodhi?" Fang Yi frowned slightly and remained silent.

Master Wuhua understood and said, "If it doesn't suit Junior Brother's wishes, there is still a [Nine Wood Azure Dragon] treasure restriction in the sect."

Junior brothers can exchange their merits for it.

Beside him, Yan Youtai stood with his head bowed, his face grim and unpleasant.

But after being reprimanded, he couldn't bring himself to speak up and refute Wu Hua Zhenren's dignity.

Fang Yi!
You ungrateful wretch! If it weren't for my help during your Foundation Establishment, you would have perished in the beast tide long ago.

Where does the elixir of immortality come from, its splendor boundless?

He gritted his teeth; this azure sky and green sandalwood robe were promises Tian Quezi had already made to him.

Moreover, as a successor of the Tianji lineage, how could he not know the opportunities that the support from his sect and the competition with the top masters of various sects meant?

At the same time, the wood element is similar to the wood element in refining magical treasures, so the subsequent competition for cultivation resources becomes a competition for cultivation itself.

Is he going to back down?!

"【Azure Blood Bodhi】Treasure Restriction?"
[Nine-Wood Azure Dragon] Treasure Restriction?

Fang Yi's pupils contracted slightly as he recalled Xiao Yan, the previous sect leader's disciple who had joined the Tianque Sect.

Tian Quezi still possesses a precious embryo of the Azure Blood Bodhi Branch, which has the potential to become a high-grade magic weapon. How could he forget it?
He spoke first. "Senior Sister Wuhua, which master in the sect prepared this [Azure Blood Bodhi] treasure?"

Wu Hua said meaningfully, "The old man is in seclusion practicing his magic, and all rewards and punishments within the sect are overseen by Senior Brother Tian Que."
This [Azure Blood Bodhi] treasure was naturally prepared by him.”

Seemingly sensing Fang Yi's apprehension, she continued, "Senior Brother Tianque has already bestowed the Azure Blood Bodhi Branch upon Xiao Yan."
Junior Brother Fang, please don't worry, the old man agrees to this as well."

Fang Yi seemed thoughtful, but did not refuse. He reached out and took the dark blue spirit map engraved with the inscription "Azure Blood Bodhi".

Although the Five Flowers Sect still has the [Nine Wood Azure Dragon] treasure that can be exchanged.

However, he believes that even with sufficient merit, there is still the treasure-refining inheritance outside of the [Azure Blood Bodhi] treasure restriction.

Not a single one would appear before him.

For no other reason
At Xuan Yang Mountain, the Great Master's will is everything.

The two great masters spoke, and the matter was settled.

Unless one is preparing to betray their sect, or has broken through to the mid-stage of Core Formation and possesses a high-grade magic weapon.

Otherwise, even a Core Formation cultivator would have no choice but to obey.

"Senior Sister Wuhua, is Xiao Yan about to condense his core?" Fang Yi asked meaningfully.

"Haha, Junior Brother Fang, your thoughts are indeed meticulous and flawless."

The Five-Flower Immortal laughed so hard he almost fell over, his laughter like silver bells rolling down the steps. "For Cai'er's sake..."

I have another piece of news for you.

Senior Brother Tianque has praised you highly. Our three lineages are of one mind and are connected by blood, which cannot be compared to the external formation of the elixir by the three lineages.

Don't worry about the Great Master plotting against you.

"I won't allow it, the old man won't allow it, and Senior Brother Tianque won't allow it either."

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister Wuhua."

Fang Yi expressed his gratitude, though he had a hunch in his mind.

The new treasure of Xuanyang Mountain, the Azure Blood Bodhi Branch, is not far from being unveiled.
He pondered over several names in his mind: 'Xiao Yan, Tian Quezi, Yan Youtai.'

A gentle smile appeared on his face as he bowed respectfully. "Thank you for your explanation, Senior Sister. I am deeply grateful."
"I wonder how Junior Sister Yang is progressing?"

Wu Hua kept everyone in suspense for a moment before speaking. "You'll know how much Junior Sister Cai'er's cultivation has progressed once you get back and see her."

"Don't worry, I will be able to break through to the sixth level of Core Formation. Junior Sister Cai'er and I will be perfectly compatible."

'Water and fire complement each other?'
Junior Sister Yang is unharmed; it's time for Junior Brother Xu to step in and clear the way.

Fang Yi seemed to be deep in thought. The advancement of cultivators in Xuan Yang Mountain to the Core Formation stage all required the investigation of a Grand Master.

When he condensed his elixir, he followed the path step by step, and both the art of medicine and the art of puppetry were clearly understood.

Even so, as a disciple of the Ancestral Hall lineage, one must swear an oath to kill the True Man Runyu of the Azure Water Pavilion as a pledge of loyalty.

Xu Qingshe will be even more vigilant and try to find out the truth.

Fang Yi knew better than anyone how terrifying the methods of a cultivator who had reached the peak of Core Formation were.

Although Xu Qingshe was well-prepared, he might still reveal a flaw when examining the quality of the pills.

in this way.

I need to borrow the Five Flower Immortal to come here.

If she were to investigate, although it would still be somewhat troublesome, it would be several times better than dealing with Chi Mei and Tian Que.
Fang Yi continued to exchange information with Wu Hua Zhenren.

Privately, a wisp of magical power flowed through his sleeve, merging with the sound transmission pendant, causing the cyan jade pendant to vibrate at an inexplicable frequency.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz."

Ten miles away on Black Abyss Island, Xu Qingshe took off the jade pendant from his waist, his face showing astonishment.

[There is a Core Formation cultivator at the sect leader level on Black Abyss Island; he is a cultivator from Xuan Yang Mountain.]

Xu Qingshe's gaze narrowed slightly as he looked at the message conveyed by the jade talisman.

He and Fang Yi had discussed it beforehand, and Fang Yi would travel to Black Abyss Island to resolve the Fan family's affairs.

Others acted as a backup plan outside the island, concealing their presence.

If Yan Youtai doesn't know what's good for him, the two of them will join forces to give him a lesson he'll never forget.

From within the bronze ring, 'Old Chen' spoke. 'A Core Formation True Person of the Xuan Yang Mountain Sect Master level?'

“It is normal for Zhang Hengyi of the Ancestral Hall lineage to possess the Great Void Shaking Cloud Boat and inherit the legacy left by the great master Huang Guangsheng.”

"No, it's Master Huodao."

Looking at the jade pendant, new characters appeared.

[A True Person of the Fire Dao of the Xuan Yang Lineage, Mid-Stage Core Formation]

'Old Chen' seemed to be deep in thought. Apart from the one who was suspected to be a cultivator at the peak of the Core Formation stage, there was actually another True Person of the Fire Dao in Xuan Yang Mountain.

"Young Xu, don't delay any longer."

Your Golden Core level is already concealed, unless you are captured and your dantian and qi sea are explored inch by inch.

Otherwise, even a great master wouldn't be able to probe your foundation.

"If you don't clearly disclose your cultivation level and the grade of your pills, Xuan Yang Mountain will certainly not be at ease."

"Fang Yi, set up the stage, and you can go on stage and perform. It's always better for a master-level cultivator to investigate than for a grand master to take action personally."

Especially the one hidden at the foot of Xuan Yang Mountain, whose cultivation level has not yet begun to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

He is not far from achieving the perfect Core Formation stage.
"Well, Fang Yi may be a bit ruthless, but he's been quite good to you."

Xu Qingshe nodded slightly, and rainbow light gathered beneath his feet, transforming into a long bridge that headed towards the center of Black Abyss Island.

"Xu Qingshe?" Wu Hua Zhenren glanced at Fang Yi and Yan Youtai, and knew what was going on.

Nine times out of ten, they were the helpers Fang Yi had found.

Tian Quezi had already thoroughly investigated the relationship between the two after Xu Qingshe condensed her core.

She cast a beam of light with her slender hand, and the Illusionary Heart Ring concealed the rolling gray mist from all directions, opening a portal about ten feet wide.

"Junior Brother Xu Qingshe, would you do me the honor of meeting me?" asked Master Wuhua.

“Of course it is possible.” Surrounded by crimson light, Xu Qingshe wore a fire crow crown and a hundred-flame robe, and as he walked, waves of heat swept over him.

He bowed respectfully, displaying impeccable manners. "Junior brother greets Senior Sister Wuhua; may Senior Sister's path to immortality be ever-flowing."

"Greetings, Junior Brother!" Master Wuhua returned the greeting with proper manners.

For a Core Formation cultivator to practice, fight, or heal, it is impossible to do without various precious pills. A third-level alchemist is enough for her to give him full respect.

"Junior Brother Xu, would you be interested in joining my Xuan Yang lineage?"

She brushed aside the strands of hair that were obscuring her vision and began to speak. “A magic-grade alchemy furnace, five spirit herbs of grade three or higher, and ten grade three pill formulas.”
Although my Xuan Yang lineage is not as powerful as before, our fire cultivation is profound and our sincerity is unwavering.

"Senior Sister Wuhua, Senior Brother Fang and I have already discussed joining the Ancestral Hall lineage."

Xu Qingshe looked at Yan Youtai with apprehension, her gaze carrying a hidden meaning.

"Junior brother is unfamiliar with Xuan Yang Mountain. He should join the lineage of Senior Brother Fang to feel at ease."

To prevent any ill-intentioned cultivators from plotting against us in secret.

"Junior Brother Fang, you have a good opportunity." Master Wuhua's gaze swept over Fang Yi, and a fleeting look of envy flashed in his eyes.

Third-tier alchemists refine pills to replenish their cultivation and solidify their foundation. Even the powerful Xuan Yang lineage covets them.

Her gaze shifted to the right, landing on Yan Youtai, and she spat inwardly.

What a useless piece of junk food!
With just a slight threat from Lu Xiaozi, he was tempted to betray the alchemists in his sect.

"What utterly useless trash! No wonder Senior Brother Tianque's thoughts have changed."

Knowing that Yan Youtai had served as a cautionary tale, Xu Qingshe would not be bribed in the short term to avoid repeating the same mistake.
However, she did not reveal that Chi Mei was about to form a Nascent Soul, in order to bribe Xu Qingshe.

Although third-tier alchemists are rare, how can they compare to the hidden alchemy skills and cultivation of the Crimson Eyebrows, who have planned for a hundred years, all for a glimpse of the Nascent Soul Dao opportunity?

She patted her storage bag, and a burst of spiritual light shot out, transforming into an ancient bronze mirror that floated in the air.

"To prevent cultivators from infiltrating, and to confirm treatment..."

Junior Brother Xu!
I have offended you.

"Buzz!"

Before Xu Qingshe could respond, the Soul-Illuminating Mirror emitted a faint light, and the bronze spiritual light on the mirror surface rippled in layers, transforming into spiritual light that fell down.

At the same time, the seven treasure seals of the Crimson Dragon Smoke Furnace lit up one by one, the runes flowed, and their power was fully unleashed.

Smoke and clouds rolled, flames blazed across the sky, transforming into a net that sealed off all directions.

Compared to its ability to intimidate Yan Youtai and Fang Yi, this treasure, crafted by successive generations of Fire Dao Masters of Xuan Yang Mountain, displayed terrifying power.

If Xu Qingshe makes any unusual moves, it could be a disguised enemy cultivator. True Person Wuhua would not hesitate to take action and kill a Core Formation True Person.

The matter at Xuanyang Mountain has reached a critical juncture, and absolutely no unexpected events can be tolerated.

"Wow!"

As the Soul-Illuminating Mirror descended, although Xu Qingshe was dissatisfied with the Five-Flower True Man locking onto all directions, he did not unleash his magic power under the Crimson Light Dragon Smoke Furnace.

Feel the light of the Soul-Illuminating Mirror probing the soul, sensing the level of the Golden Core and magical power.

'A mid-grade magic weapon?'
Moreover, it involves sacrificing combat strength, solely for the purpose of probing the cultivator's soul and the quality of their pills.

Elder Chen is right. That person in Xuan Yang Mountain, in order to advance further and condense his Nascent Soul, has been preparing for who knows how many years.

While he felt apprehensive, he was also filled with gratitude. 'Fortunately, Senior Brother Fang set the stage in advance; if that old monster at the peak of Core Formation had made his move, the situation would have been very different.'

As fellow cultivators at the Fire Path Golden Core stage, it's entirely possible that a weakness could be exploited.

Xu Qingshe glanced at Yan Youtai, who was filled with hostility towards Fang Yi, and understood what was going on.

Both being True Immortals of the Wood Path, Fang Yi and Yan Youtai vied for the spiritual object.

The Xuan Yang lineage possesses profound foundations, but a Golden Core cultivator specializing in fire magic, not belonging to their lineage, has emerged within the sect.
Whether it's for a struggle for profit or for the Five Flower Immortal, that old monster is bound to get involved.

The struggle over the path is not about right or wrong, but about victory or defeat.
A quarter of an hour later.

The Soul-Illuminating Mirror dimmed, and the Five-Flower Immortal's expression became slightly solemn, his attitude towards Xu Qingshe becoming more friendly once again.

"High-grade true elixir?!

Junior Brother Xu, you have such a profound foundation!

She spoke up again, trying to recruit him. "With your talent in alchemy and the quality of your pills, Junior Brother."

If one joins the Xuan Yang lineage, it is not difficult to accumulate merits and exchange them for the most core fourth-order fire path inheritance of the Xuan Yang lineage.

What does my junior brother think?

Xu Qingshe refused decisively without the slightest hesitation. "I have already made an agreement with Senior Brother Fang."

"I will be joining the Ancestral Hall lineage later, so Senior Sister Wuhua, please don't bother with that."

"Junior Brother Fang is truly blessed."

Wu Hua Zhenren glanced at Yan Youtai with disdain, then with a wave of his sleeve, he swept him up and left.

Yan Youtai's expression changed slightly. "Senior Sister Wuhua, my disciple is still here."

Master Wuhua snorted coldly.

"I used the Illusionary Heart Ring to erase the memories of the battle between you two from the memories of many cultivators."

However, in order not to damage the soul, I only erased the memories of the fight. I still retained the memories of the fight between Zuo Ziheng and Zhou Chaozhao.

"Keep your disciple here; it will help you deceive the spies from various factions on Black Abyss Island."

She paused slightly before continuing to reprimand Yan Youtai.

"Junior Brother Fang's cultivation level is not yet ready to be revealed."

And everyone thinks they're like you, targeting the younger generation and bullying the weak.

'That's not necessarily true,' Fang Yi muttered to himself.

Wu Hua overestimated him. If Zhou Qian were left here, he would surely resort to underhanded tactics.

Bullying the weak?

If it wasn't discovered, it wasn't bullying the weak.
'Unfortunately, with Tianquezi present, any underhanded tactics are easily detected.'

Fifteen minutes later, the gray fog dissipated.

Fang Yi's sleeves billowed, and the sound of gold and jade clashing echoed.

"clang!"

In a short while, Fan Dacheng, Zuo Ziheng, Jing Shaohong, Zhou Qian and others awoke from the illusion.

Zuo Ziheng's whisk moved like a dragon, swirling with frenzy, and struck towards Zhou Chaozhao's head.

The hazy vision in Zhou Chaozhao's eyes dissipated, and he turned the Mountain Seal magic weapon upside down and slammed it down.

"boom!"

Fang Yi took a step forward, flicking out two blue lotuses to support the two magical treasures, the whisk and the ancient seal.

"enough!"

Fan Dacheng's spirits lifted, and he exclaimed with delight, "Brother Fang!"

None of the many cultivators present realized that they had just fallen into an illusion, their lives in the hands of others.
