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

Chapter 7: Withering and Prolonging Life
No matter how righteous and peaceful a first-level technique is, it is still just a first-level technique with a very low upper limit.

The ancient powerful beings, that kind of top-notch cultivator, there is only one among millions of cultivators in hundreds of thousands of years.

"This method is not suitable for me. Apart from facilitating the transformation of my cultivation techniques, it has no advantages at all..."

As a Jindan-stage demon cultivator and an old demon, Fang Yi naturally has some opportunities.

I have accumulated three or four parts of the third-level skills.

"The Three Yin Slaying God Technique is a third-level magic technique. It intercepts the three yin energies between heaven and earth, and is extremely effective in killing, but it also affects one's lifespan. It was the first third-level technique I obtained in my previous life, and it was also my main cultivation technique."

"The Blood Sea Soul Refining Sutra is a third-level soul-path technique. After practicing it, extracting souls and refining spirits is as easy as taking something out of a bag. It can also create blood puppets with extremely strong life-saving abilities."

"The Five Poisons Devouring Heart Technique is a third-level poison technique that collects hundreds of poisons and uses them to refine five poisonous insects. It is strange and unpredictable."

"The Yin-Yang Harmony Technique is a third-level Hehuan Dao technique. It is extremely adept at the art of gathering and fighting. It gathers Yin to replenish Yang, and Yang to replenish Yin, resulting in many children and blessings."

Recalling the several high-level skills he mastered, Fang Yi felt a little embarrassed.

The "Blood Sea Soul Refining Sutra" is incompatible with one's own wood spiritual roots, and the "Five Poison Heart Devouring Technique" requires a lot of external objects.

As for the "Yin Yang Harmony Art", as a minor cultivator in the Xuan Yang Sect, where can I find a top-grade cauldron?

Although the "Three Yin Killing God Method" has no requirements for spiritual roots or external objects, it is a great hindrance to one's lifespan.

In his previous life, Fang Yi practiced the "Three Yin God-Slaying Technique". After forming the elixir, his lifespan was 20% less than that of the cultivators of the same level.

Now that he is no longer in the devil's way, he does not need to rush for quick success, and he is not willing to practice the Three Yin Killing God Technique.

What's more, when practicing these techniques, one's body will be filled with either yin energy, blood energy, poison energy, or ghost energy.

Isn't this just rushing to slay demons and monsters for the Xuanyang Mountain Law Enforcement Hall and bring merit?
If he gave up the third-level skills, Fang Yi could also master some normal second-level skills, but he would be in trouble.

A third-level technique can be practiced at least 10% to 20% faster than a second-level technique.

The magic power cultivated is also much more refined than that of the second-level skills, and there are fewer bottlenecks when advancing.

Over time, one can break through bottlenecks years or even decades earlier than cultivators with the same qualifications.

Moreover, every time a cultivator changes his technique, his cultivation level will be damaged.

With each in and out, cultivators who were originally expected to break through would be delayed for more than ten years, and they might have no hope of advancing.

Although his spiritual roots are not as outstanding as those in his previous life, he has the qualifications of top-grade spiritual roots, and it is almost certain that he can build his foundation.

My spiritual roots in this world are only of medium quality, and I have nothing of value.

Although joining Xuanyang Mountain is much better than being a casual cultivator, one still needs to make more plans to benefit from the path to immortality.

"Continue to practice the Three Yin God-Slaying Technique?"

Fang Yi recalled an opportunity in his previous life.

"The Book of Life, Death, and Flourishing!"

This world's wood-attributed medium-grade spiritual root is consistent with the Wood Dao Sutra, "The Sutra of Life and Death".

This is an ancient miracle that was the greatest opportunity in his previous life, but Fang Yi did not practice it.

In his previous life, he was in the demonic world, where competition was extremely fierce. It was common for masters and apprentices to kill each other, and for fellow disciples to fight with each other.

Once you switch to this kind of martial arts that conflicts with your foundation, you will probably be sacrificed and refined by your fellow disciples to become a member of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner before you can even adapt to it.

This martial art has average power in combat, but it is considered a miraculous skill because of its mysterious nature.

The Sutra of Life and Death and Withering and Flourishing can also be called the Method of Withering and Flourishing to Prolong Life, which was passed down to the ancient great powers.

Once you have mastered this method and comprehended the changes of growth and decline, you can lock the loss of vitality and your lifespan can be 50% longer than that of cultivators of the same level.

The life span of a cultivator in the Qi training stage is 120 years. Adding 50% to it means an extra 60 years.

The life span of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage is 240 years. Adding 50% to it means an extra 260 years, 120 years.

Thinking of this, Fang Yi made up his mind.

"A fight of magical powers and magic weapons is nothing compared to a fight of lifespan.

When a person dies, it is like a light going out; lifespan is the root of everything."

The lifespan of a cultivator at the Jindan stage is 500 years. Even if his lifespan was 100 years less than that of a cultivator of the same level in his previous life, he could still reach the Yuanying stage.

In this life, one's lifespan is half that of a cultivator of the same level, even if one's spiritual roots are of medium quality.

By operating steadily and accumulating a solid foundation, one can once again glimpse the Nascent Soul realm.

Fang Yi started to practice the "Law of Life, Death, Withering and Flourishing".

As the exercises were practiced, the Qi in the body gradually declined, the complexion became dark blue, the skin and flesh gradually became dry and decayed, and the vitality was like a candle in the wind, fluctuating.

When the breath dropped to a low point, a stream of vitality emerged from the Dantian three inches below the navel.

His breath began to gradually rise from death to life, his face became rosy and shiny, and his flesh and blood gradually became fuller.

This cycle repeats itself, with the Qi going from strong to weak, from withered to flourishing, thus unfolding the changes of life and death, withering and flourishing.

"One week, two weeks, three weeks..."

After thirty-six cycles of operation, Fang Yi began to practice the "Scripture of Life and Death".

“Such abundant vitality!”

Fang Yi was very happy. With a lifespan of 180 years and some treasures that could prolong his life, he could already be comparable to some of the foundation-building demon cultivators who were brave and aggressive but not good at keeping in good health.

Well, for example, it was like this in my previous life.

The most important thing in the demonic world is killing. Bloody fights and bloody sacrifices are commonplace, as are serious damage to one's vitality.

In the previous life, he discovered that his life span was short, but it was already too late. He could only be more ruthless and ruthless in order to find a chance to succeed.

However, in this life, he practiced the "Life and Death Sutra" and had a long and abundant lifespan. Fang Yi made up his mind to practice steadily.

“The techniques are different, the choices are different, and the paths of cultivation are also different.

We should learn a lot from those who have lived for a long time, and the old horses in the stable are still full of ambition.

"But this exuberant vitality is somewhat too attractive."

Fang Yi practiced the "Life and Death and Flourishing Sutra" to restrain his own vitality, just like an ordinary roadside grass.

His whole body was filled with the faint vitality of ordinary wood-attributed skills, just like a Qi-cultivating cultivator who practiced the "Qingmu Jue".

The sun rises and the moon sets, time passes.

Eight months later, in the training room of Changqing Academy.

Fang Yi sat cross-legged on the cushion with his eyes closed, his aura fluctuating.

Streams of cloud-like spiritual energy were continuously refined as magic power circulated through the meridians.

He put away the spirit stone that had been depleted of spiritual energy and sensed that his cultivation had improved a bit.

"The spirit stones are almost exhausted, and there is little spirit rice left. It's time to complete the mission within the sect.

Otherwise, it would be much more troublesome to carry out the mandatory mission."

Although the Xuanyang Sect is a large and righteous sect and provides subsidies to its outer disciples, it also has certain requirements.

In order to prevent disciples from slacking off in their practice, all new disciples must complete a task within the sect within one year.

You can choose your own tasks and difficulty to help new disciples integrate into the sect.

That afternoon, in the Lingyang Peak Examination Hall.

The Xuanyang Sect does not value outer disciples as much as inner disciples.

However, courtyards such as the Examination Pavilion, the Sutra Pavilion, and the Law Enforcement Hall were also set up on Lingyang Peak to help the outer disciples grow.

Once outer sect disciples break through the late stage of Qi training, they can participate in the outer sect competition held every ten years, and the top ten cultivators can enter the inner sect.

And this examination hall is the place responsible for distributing tasks.

No matter whether they are elders, true disciples or ordinary disciples.

As long as you pay a reward and a certain handling fee, you can post a task on this green jade disk, and the monks from the Xuanyang Sect will take it up and complete it.

However, in order to publish this task, the reward must first be sent to the Examination Pavilion, and then the published task will be displayed on the jade disk.

With the reputation of Xuanyang Sect as a guarantee, the monks in the sect naturally dare not lie.
