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

Chapter 739 Failed Core Formation, Destruction and Reconstruction

Deep within the Xuanling Longevity Palace, restrictions and laws are everywhere, and it is surrounded by a misty spiritual energy.

Changsun Jie sat cross-legged, and as he exhaled, his magical power gradually condensed, transforming into a round elixir embryo.

Feel the purple aura surrounding the perfectly round dantian (energy center) in your dantian.

"Is this what Core Formation is?"
"Condense the true elixir, overcome the tribulation, and enjoy a lifespan of five hundred years."

His eyes revealed an uncontrollable joy, which was quickly replaced by a fierce expression.

With slender fingers, she carefully took out a bottle of spiritual liquid from her sleeve. A crimson magic barrier sealed the medicinal power, and then a stream of magic power descended.

The seal of the character "封" dissipated, and the spiritual liquid in the jade bottle emitted a fragrant aroma. The Pure Heart Bamboo in the quiet room trembled slightly and sprouted tender branches.

In an instant, Changsun Jie's eyes flashed with apprehension as he glanced deeply at the area beyond the forbidden area.

It seemed as if Fang Yi, who had raised the Azure Lotus Banner, was turning his hand to create clouds and rain, concealing the extraordinary phenomenon of Core Formation.

"Fang Yi, did you ever imagine that I could reach this point? I'm almost a Core Formation True Person myself."

"Gulu!"

His Adam's apple bobbed as he drank the spiritual liquid in the jade bottle in one gulp.

The bag of misfortune and good fortune radiates a precious light. When the bag is opened, all the gloom and bad luck are absorbed.

Then, a continuous purple aura and thousands of auspicious rays appeared, and the blessings accumulated over a hundred years by the Disaster Relief and Fortune Accumulation Bag poured down upon Changsun Jie.

"Wow!"

A beam of purple light shot into the sky, instantly breaking through layers of magical restrictions, soaring into the heavens and stirring up the winds and clouds in all directions.

"boom!"

Auspicious purple clouds drifted and auspicious energy flowed, causing the wind and clouds to change color atop the Five Peaks.

"His magical power is good, and his qi is pure. With such a foundation, he can overcome the pill tribulation and is expected to become a mid-grade true pill."

Fang Yi showed his appreciation. The higher the quality of Changsun Jie's pills, the greater the benefits to his understanding of the principles of fortune and misfortune and the improvement of his divination skills.

He clenched his five fingers, and the power of withering and flourishing surged forth, like a mighty river pouring into the Azure Lotus Banner.

"But this Core Formation celestial phenomenon cannot be this vast."

"Wow!"

The Azure Lotus Banner fluttered, radiating brilliant light. Lotus blossoms withered, and the azure light unfolded like rosy clouds, merging into the purple aura.

In a moment.

Spiritual energy flowed down, but the turbulent phenomena subsided.

Inside the secret chamber, Changsun Jie's aura surged higher and higher with each passing wave.

In the blink of an eye, he completely surpassed the Foundation Establishment realm, and a faint Daoist aura of Core Formation naturally dissipated, filling the Xuanling Longevity Palace.

"Boom!"

The lightning tribulation gathered, and dark, heavy clouds piled up one after another, pressing down with negative pressure. Purple lightning bolts, like nimble snakes, roared and weaved through the clouds.

"The Pill Tribulation is approaching." Fang Yi nodded, a hint of joy in his eyes. The Void Realm Withering and Flourishing Banner appeared in his sleeve, emitting spiritual light, ready to be unleashed.

"Oh!"

The continuous purple aura suddenly collapsed, the auspicious energy withered, and Changsun Jie's energy plummeted. In the blink of an eye, he fell from the Foundation Establishment realm.

"Ok?"

"Failed?"

Fang Yi's fingertips moved in different directions, and the phantom image of a plum blossom appeared in his eyes. As the [Plum Blossom Divination] flowed, he took a step forward.

Inside the quiet room, the spring water gurgled and released a misty vapor, while a faint smell of blood wafted through the air.

The layers of prohibitions parted like a tide, revealing a narrow path only three feet wide.

Fang Yi stepped into the quiet room, a flash of blue-yellow light appearing in his eyes as he began to circulate the [Life, Death, Withering and Flourishing Scripture].

"Changsun Jie, what's going on?"

"Sir, I have disappointed you."

Changsun Jie's face was ashen, his aura was low, and disbelief was evident in his eyes.

Tears streamed down his face as he spoke with resentment.

"When I was condensing my core just now, I intended to condense the core essence, but unexpectedly..."
"Insufficient resolve led to failure at the last moment, and he failed to overcome the tribulation of his inner demons."

"Pfft~"

A mouthful of blood spurted from Changsun Jie's mouth; he was on the verge of death and fainted.

"disease!"

Fang Yi's expression was solemn. A blue light flowed from his fingertips, transforming into azure hairs that entered Changsun Jie's acupoints and traveled along the eight extraordinary meridians, eventually settling into his dantian.

Feel the dim light of the Foundation Establishment Platform, surrounded by a gloomy, unlucky aura.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, a glint of light flashing in them, and murmured softly.

"Backlash from the body of bad luck?"

"Pity"

"Edict!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Fang Yi caused the Void Realm Withering and Flourishing Banner to flutter. On the delicate and warm human skin banner, a phantom of a demon god wearing a lotus crown, surrounded by the robes of the Medicine King and hundreds of plants stepped out.

The demon god waved his six arms, his face showing compassion, and cast out streaks of azure magic seals, amidst the wafting fragrance of medicine.

The art of gentle persuasion and nurturing!
The life-giving rain fell, merging into Changsun Jie's limbs and bones, causing his continuously declining energy to stagnate.

"Imperial decree!"
Azure sky and precious clouds!

A wisp of bluish-green mist rose from Fang Yi's fingertips, like rolling fog, with various medicinal images of Scrophularia, Ganoderma lucidum, and cinnabar flowing around it.

"Wow~"

Under the influence of Xiao Cheng's Azure Cloud Qi, Changsun Jie's pale face visibly regained a rosy hue.

He groggily awoke from his coma, tears streaming down his face.

"Thank you for saving me, sir. It's a pity I'm such a useless piece of trash; I can't be of any help in the battle at Azure Sky Cliff."

"It doesn't matter."

Fang Yi smiled gently, his demeanor refined. With a flick of his sleeve, the Azure Cloud Qi slithered into his dantian like a serpent.

"It was just a failed attempt at Core Formation. I remember that with the help of the Demon Pill from Sudu Mountain, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in our sect increased significantly."

Of the more than two hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators on Xuan Yang Mountain, how many have reached the Core Formation stage?

"You don't need to concern yourself with the matter of Five Extreme Peaks for now. Just rest well in this quiet room until you recover, then we can discuss other things."

"Thank you for your understanding, sir!"

Changsun Jie's lips moved as he struggled to speak, watching Fang Yi leave.

"Oh!"

The door to the meditation room closed again, enveloped by layers of magical restrictions. Changsun Jie's gaze was deep and his Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed a pill he had prepared beforehand from his sleeve.

"Gulu."

The gentle medicinal power flowed like a clear mountain stream, and his vital energy slowly recovered.

"Core Formation, huh?"

The next day, the sun rose in the east.

Tianji Peak is surrounded by ancient trees, and a waterfall cascades down three thousand feet.

Inside the waterside pavilion, Yan Youtai narrowed his eyes, looked at the kneeling cultivator, and spoke.

"Chu Xiang, is what you're saying true?"

Chu Xiang, clad in armor, knelt with his head bowed and spoke respectfully.

"Reporting to the master, there is indeed a phenomenon of Core Formation at Five Extremes Peak, which should be the Core Formation of Changsun Jie."

However, the phenomenon of Core Formation abruptly stopped, and Fang Yi also sent his disciples to the sect's inner treasury to exchange for a lot of healing medicines.

It must be that Changsun Jie failed to break through to the next realm, and didn't even manage to condense a false core.

"Hmm, I understand." Yan Youtai nodded slightly, showing no emotion, and waved for Chu Xiang to leave.

"Then we'll probably attack Baiyangze next year. Chu Xiang, you need to deploy the Xuan Yang Guards in the peaks. Be careful."

This crucial information must not be leaked.

As for the matter at the Five Extreme Peaks, we can continue to observe; it's just that a Foundation Establishment cultivator failed to condense his core.

Several days later, in the Xuanling Longevity Palace, green bamboos swayed and a cool breeze blew.

Fang Yi's eyes were deep and unfathomable, and he held a jade slip in his hand.

"Tianji Peak and Burning Dome have not changed at all?"

Xiao Yan is in a good mood and is personally instructing Xiao Qingying in her cultivation? Interesting.

Purple lightning and crimson fire swirled, and two beams of spiritual light, one purple and one crimson, descended.

Xiao Changce, clad in a crimson robe, strode forward. "Daiyue, Bo'an, come and greet your Uncle Fang."

"Bo'an greets Uncle Fang."

"Daiyue greets Uncle Fang."

Looking at the powerful Huang Daiyue and the robust Shen Bo'an, Fang Yi nodded slightly.

"Greetings, Junior Nephew Huang."

"Junior Nephew Sheng, are you ready?"

"Ok.

"Thank you for your help, Uncle-Master. I have made all the necessary preparations."

Sheng Bo'an's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he bowed respectfully, his face revealing an undisguised anticipation.

Fang Yi's eyes reflected Sheng Bo'an's image, as if deep in thought.

The severed path of the superior Dao Foundation was a sensation at Xuan Yang Mountain at the time.

"Senior Brother Hu Lei values ​​you highly, and even after sixty years, he still remembers you fondly. He is willing to help you break down your cultivation and rebuild your foundation."

Did he achieve something beyond the "oil-adding lamp lighting method"?

"Reporting to the True Immortal, my master has had a fortuitous encounter and gained some insights from the [Adding Oil to Light the Lamp Method], thus completing the [Red Essence Transformation] secret technique."

Sheng Bo'an took out a yellowed, torn page from his sleeve, on which tiny characters were engraved.

"Uncle-Master Fang, I will be practicing a secret technique later to shatter my near-third-level body refinement cultivation and transform it into crimson essence to nourish my Dao foundation and heal my old injuries."

"Thank you for using the Great Physician's Diagnosis Technique to protect my life force."

"【Red Essence Transformation】?"

Xiao Changce, standing to the side, looked curious, his gaze sweeping over the pages of the book, and spoke up.

"Young Sheng, you should be careful. The secret technique only covers the chapter on maintaining life. What about the rest?"

Sheng Bo'an frowned slightly and remained silent.

This was already a rejection. The secret method of "Red Essence Transformation" involved his very foundation, and it could not be revealed before his foundation was transformed.

“You’ve learned your lesson, kid. Your wariness is now just like Hu Lei’s.” Xiao Changce shook his head slightly, not annoyed, and said.

"The Way of the Great Cloud Spiritual Healer reveres the Azure Water Pavilion."

Those lowly maids are narrow-minded and have deep-seated grudges with the sect; they would never lend a hand to you.

Without Fang Yiling's medical skills reaching the third level, this [Crimson Essence Transformation] secret technique would mean certain death.

"It's fortunate that you've had this opportunity to rebuild your life."

"It is my good fortune to be here and to meet Uncle Fang, who has entered the third-level master realm of spiritual medicine."

A look of longing appeared on Sheng Bo'an's face as he bowed again.

"Thank you for your help, Uncle Fang."

Fang Yi nodded slightly, took the yellowed pages, and carefully scanned them.

After taking a breath, his pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of joy appeared in his heart.

The secret technique of "Red Essence Transformation" dissolves the body's cultivation and nourishes the physical body with spiritual spring water, without harming its fundamental nature.

Like the legendary method of shattering the elixir in the Qi cultivation path, it has endless wonderful uses.

Sheng Bo'an could use his near-third-tier body refinement cultivation to transform into crimson essence energy. He also used this method to dissolve the [Three Burials Golden Body].

Afterwards, with his accumulated wealth, he exchanged it for a third-tier body-refining method from the sect, and his body-refining path reached the third tier, which was a natural progression.

Fang Yi has been stuck at the quasi-third-order body refinement path for decades due to the upper limit of his cultivation technique.

Even with the nourishment of the Golden Elixir of Withering and Flourishing and the sustenance of spiritual herbs, his body cultivation was pushed forward a step by step by his vast foundational resources, leaving him only a hair's breadth away from the third rank.

However, the path of body refinement ends here, unlike the orthodox third stage of body refinement, which has a bright future and can be further improved.

But this is a secret method.
Fang Yi's gaze swept across the pages, stopping abruptly after the chapter that maintained its vitality.

Clearly, the secret technique was precious, and Sheng Bo'an preferred to avoid offending Xiao Changce rather than reveal it.
Fang Yi's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. With his years of experience in the Crimson Essence Transformation Technique, he could smell a faint scent of the Blood Demon Path.

He seemed to be deep in thought, and after considering it for a moment, he got straight to the point.

“Nephew Sheng, this [Red Essence Transformation Method] is related to essence and blood, and it is beneficial to my cultivation of the spiritual medicine path.”

Would you be willing to part with it?

"This"

Sheng Bo'an frowned slightly, feeling troubled and unsure of what to do.

He naturally knew the entire secret technique of "Red Essence Transformation," which had an illegitimate origin and was a typical secret transmission of the Blood Demon Path.

There are orthodox cultivation methods as well as inverse cultivation techniques. The risks involved are so great that other chapters are hidden.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yi understood that there was indeed something fishy about this [Crimson Essence Transformation] secret technique.

"In that case, Junior Nephew Sheng's physical cultivation has collapsed. After you have replenished your foundation, may we discuss this matter again?"

Sheng Bo'an felt relieved; the [Red Essence Transformation] technique was nothing more than a secret technique.

Although it is precious, compared with his path, it is nothing more than something to be discarded.

After resuming his cultivation, he possessed a high-grade Thunder Dao foundation. He sacrificed a Blood Dao secret technique to befriend Fang Yi, the spiritual healer—a very smart deal.

"Uncle Fang, you're too kind. You've been kind enough to continue my path of cultivation."

After I have restored my foundation, I will present the complete secret method of "Red Essence Transformation" in its entirety.

"Thank you for your trouble, Junior Nephew Sheng." Fang Yi nodded slightly, understanding Sheng Bo'an's meaning.

Everything will be discussed after we resume our journey.

His gaze then swept past Huang Daiyue and landed on Xiao Changce, who stood to the side with a cold and handsome demeanor, wearing a crimson robe.

"What brings Master and his junior disciple Huang here?"

Xiao Changce glanced at Sheng Bo'an, whose attitude was completely different, shook his head slightly, and muttered to himself.

"We are both Core Formation cultivators, but this brat Sheng is relying on Hu Lei to back me up and doesn't give me any face."

As soon as Fang Yi opened his mouth, he offered the [Red Essence Transformation] secret technique to him without taking a single penny.

The path of spiritual healing is highly sought after, but unfortunately I have little talent in the various arts of cultivation.

He patted Huang Daiyue on the shoulder, who was wearing a brown mountain-patterned robe.

"Isn't it all because of you, my junior disciple Huang?"

I heard that Zhu Huan of the Xuan Yang lineage came here and made great progress by exchanging skills with Li Heng.

As your teacher, I'll swallow my pride and ask for a favor, so I'll let Daiyue join in."

Xiao Changce's gaze was intense as he spoke. "Now I see this young Sheng seeking your treatment."

I wonder if you, Fang Yi, could examine Dai Yue? No need for the "Great Physician's Diagnosis Method," just clearing away the hidden injuries will suffice.

"This is simple."

Fang Yi nodded slightly. Xiao Changce had helped him a lot, but it was just treating a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"You should thank your Uncle Fang." Xiao Changce said with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle Fang," Huang Daiyue said with delight, bowing deeply.

Fang Yi's reputation as the number one spiritual healer in Dayun was legendary.

half year later.

Xuanling Changsheng Mansion.

A spiritual pool hung high above, and Sheng Bo'an was surrounded by crimson light, his aura soaring, no longer feeling like a stranger.

He took a step forward, feeling the thunder and lightning flashing within his dantian, suppressing his ecstatic joy, and bowed with his hands clasped.

"Thank you for your help, Master. The method of [Red Essence Transformation] will be sent later."

"Adding oil to light the lamp, transforming the red essence into primordial energy—your lineage has indeed encountered a good opportunity."

Fang Yi nodded slightly, the eight hundred strands of Heavenly Green Silk in his hand scattered, and with a wave of his sleeve, the Spirit Pool transformed into the Five Poison Cauldron and fell into the correction.

With his old wounds fully healed, the method of "Red Essence Transformation" has been exhausted of its use on Sheng Bo'an, so he will certainly not go back on his word and offend him.

His mind focused on the depths of the cave, and under the cover of the magical restrictions, Changsun Jie's aura was faintly recovering.

However, despite several treatments, his injuries persisted, and he was no longer fit to fight at Qingkong Cliff a year later.

He waved his hand and released a jade talisman, his lips moving.

"Yu'er, Zhao'er, Heng'er, Deye, come to the Xuanling Longevity Palace immediately."
