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

Chapter 888 Guiding Disciples, Deducing Profound Techniques from Li Dayun
"boom!"

The fire-swallowing tortoise, a thousand feet in size, had four hooves like pillars, with purple clouds forming a bridge beneath its feet. It continued to move forward along the cloud bridge, causing the wind and clouds to change color.

"call!"

Its breath formed clouds, and its exhalations fell like rain; the savage giant tortoise continued its journey toward the Great Yu.

On the dark tortoise shell, the Evergreen Hall stands tall, with sandalwood pillars, blue glazed tiles, and continuous white walls.

On the ornately decorated platform, several Core Formation cultivators chatted quietly, their laughter occasionally breaking the silence.

Fang Yi stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the Chaoyang Pavilion, which stood atop the three-tiered pavilions and towers, its imposing presence resembling the sun's dominance in all directions.

"The True Lord inhales and exhales spiritual energy from all directions, outlining the Daoist temple with Daoist principles, thus creating a small world of his own."

Even if the cave dwelling does not intentionally reveal its energy, the naturally flowing Daoist aura shines like the sun.

He immediately looked down and saw tens of thousands of black dots at the foot of the platform, like ants, but none of them had a cave to hide in.

Those were Xuan Yang disciples who had not yet formed their core. Due to their low status, they could only find a place to stay and set up restrictions to barely cultivate.

The Fire-Swallowing Turtle is enormous, almost like a savage beast.

Although the tortoise shell is thousands of feet in size, it is still not as large as Xuan Yang Mountain, and it cannot accommodate every cultivator to build a cave dwelling.

The place atop the tortoise's head, where spiritual energy is most abundant, is now the place where True Monarch Crimson Eyebrows is in seclusion.

Below that, the four major cave dwellings of Zhaixing Pavilion, Chiyan Cliff, Zushi Hall, and Changqing Hall stand in a row, suppressing the four directions of east, west, south, and north.

Below them are the fake and real dan cultivators who sit in the major branches like stars surrounding the moon, and the foundation and qi cultivation cultivators at the very bottom, occupying a small space.

"Morale is high, and the people's hearts are at our disposal."

Fang Yi's eyes gleamed as he looked at each of the junior cultivators, noticing their rosy complexions and expectant eyes, eager to advance further.

He nodded slightly and praised his young disciple, "De Ye, you've done a good job in calming people's hearts."

The cultivators in the sect felt no longing for their homeland, only a yearning for the Great Yu.

Only when the hearts and minds of the people are at our disposal can we achieve twice the result with half the effort, and only then can we gain the upper hand in Dayu.

Fan Deye had a handsome face, red lips and white teeth. His messy hair was tied up with a crimson silk ribbon, with bronze divination coins hanging from the end. He held a three-foot-long yarrow stalk in his hand and bowed.

"Master, you flatter me."

"Not bad at all." Fang Yi sensed Fan Deye's pure and sharp aura and looked at him with admiration.

He then flicked his sleeve, and a decree slid out. The front of the decree was engraved with the rising sun, and the back was carved with a sea of ​​lotus flowers.

"You have established a high-grade Dao foundation, and the Gengjin Life-Refining Book is a third-order inheritance, with profound foundation."

Afterwards, the spiritual veins of the Great Yu's vast icy plains advanced, bringing countless opportunities. Divination materials and Core Formation artifacts became commonplace.

“I have been away from Five Extremes Peak for many years. You have been in charge of all the affairs on the peak and sorting out the changes in people’s hearts, but this has also delayed your search for opportunities and the refining of magical artifacts.”

Fang Yi's eyes reflected the seven Qingfu coins emanating the aura of high-grade magic artifacts in his disciple's hair.

This rather capable young disciple's wealth caused him to frown slightly.

Having been in charge of the Five Extreme Peaks for so long, he still doesn't know how to equip himself with top-grade magical artifacts.

"Take my decree to Chiyang Cliff. Junior Brother Zhu Huan owes me a favor from years ago and will arrange for a third-tier weapon refiner to upgrade your magic weapon."

A dignified second-tier Celestial Mystery Master, yet his natal magic weapon is only of the high grade—it's truly pathetic.

"Yes, disciple thanks Master for the reward!" Fan Deye's eyes were filled with joy. He bowed and then withdrew, holding the decree in both hands.

Fang Yi turned his gaze to Li Heng, who was tall and slender and wearing a robe with the four seas on it, and after a moment's thought, he spoke.

"On this trip to Sudu Mountain, Heng'er, you handled things properly and effectively, and made a great contribution to attracting the deer demon."

"As your teacher completes the lineage, you have also made considerable gains in the Heavenly Valley; you should certainly be rewarded."

"Buzz!"

A tattered ancient flag flew out. The flag was worn and cracked, with holes all over it. Its precious light was dim, but it could still attract the power of water element.

"The treasure of the Azure Water Pavilion, the Overturning Heaven and Sea Banner?!" Li Heng's eyes gleamed, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes were filled with longing.

"Yes, I will have another opportunity to bestow it upon Yu'er." Fang Yi held the tattered flag and waved it, watching his disciple as his gaze moved left and right following the flag.

"This precious flag was destroyed by Yu Yuanzi, damaging its very essence."

But it was once a top-grade magic weapon with profound heritage, and the materials used to refine it were also top-notch.

The three remaining protective seals are still top-tier even among low-grade magic treasures.

He spread his five fingers, and the emerald light transformed into a spiritual cloud, supporting the Overturning Heaven and Earth Banner, which landed in front of his disciple.

"Now I bestow this treasure upon you for self-defense. Study the essence of the flag carefully to aid your cultivation."

In terms of the accumulation of knowledge about the Dao of Water Elements, the Jade Water Pavilion can be considered first-rate.

"Thank you for the treasure, Master!" Li Heng reached out and took down the precious flag, stroking it with his fingers, his eyes filled with fascination.

Even if a superior magic weapon is damaged, it is still of considerable value and contains the Dao of a Great True Person.

He was deeply grateful, for he had never imagined that his master would bestow such a treasure upon him.

"Hmm?" Fang Yi nodded slightly. He had always believed in the principle of the capable rising and the mediocre falling.

Those who make mistakes should be punished, while those who perform meritorious service should be rewarded.

How long can the so-called master-disciple relationship last, driven by repeated impulses and risking life and death to wear it down day by day?
The more precious the friendship, the more it needs to be nurtured.

Gu Jiushang had already sent a telepathic message to the Golden-Eyed Ape King to conceal his cultivation level, indicating that he had not merely reached the threshold of the sect leader's true cultivation, but had truly entered this realm.

If they hadn't been careful when setting up the fake inheritance, Qin Yu and Li Heng would have been in mortal danger and their paths to immortality would have been cut off.

Fang Yi's gaze swept over Huo Zhao, who was naked from the waist up inside the ancient cauldron, and a look of dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes.

"This is your last chance. Don't disappoint me again. The Body-Consuming True Man's essence and blood are abundant, which is a great tonic for the Crimson Yin."

He murmured to himself, then waved for Li Heng, who was clutching the Overturning Heaven and Sea Banner with obvious affection, to step down.

The Three Treasures Restriction Banner Overturning the Sea and Turning the Heavens contains the nascent form of a broken Daoist temple, which is a great opportunity for Li Heng to defy fate.

It was nothing special to him.

The Void Realm Withering and Flourishing Banner devoured the spiritual essence of the Heavenly Absolute Valley, propelling the evolution of the Five Elements, and was not far from the emergence of the Nine Treasure Restrictions.

The Nine Treasures of the Forbidden Cave Heaven are among the most supreme treasures for Core Formation True Immortals.

"Heng'er, step back."

"Yes, Master. This disciple takes his leave."

"Whoo~"

As the fire-swallowing tortoise continued forward, clouds and mist swirled around it, and the wind whipped its robes in the wind.

Fang Yi looked at his friend on the jade platform, his solemn expression fading, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Wow!"

He tossed out the Starfall Pearl and said, "I'm grateful to the Green Serpent for protecting this junior."

"It's nothing." Xu Qingshe's face was handsome and his demeanor was unrestrained. He suppressed 'Old Chen's' urging for the distribution of the benefits with his divine sense.

'Young Xu, that's a spirit garden that has been nurtured by a Green Wood Spirit Demon for six hundred years, and you're so magnanimous?'

The Azure Wood Spirit Demon was already skilled in the way of wood cultivation, a natural-born spirit plant master. To cultivate a spirit plant treasure for six hundred years—what an incredible opportunity that was!

I'm so angry!

"Buzz!" A shimmering light flowed from his fingertips, isolating the noise from the bronze ring, and Xu Qingshe continued speaking:

"We've known each other for centuries, and my senior brother has helped me more than once. There's no need to take this to heart."

"Hahaha, the Green Snake is still the same; she's going to suffer a great loss in the future."

Fang Yi's dark pupils narrowed slightly, and he appreciated it even more. The path to immortality was rugged and people's hearts were treacherous. To meet a kind and honest friend and support each other was a great joy.

The more this is the case, the less we should easily damage our friendship.

To interfere in the affairs of a Grandmaster, using oneself as bait. If not for the accumulation of nearly two hundred years of experience, which alchemy master who has refined their natal elixir root would be willing to make a move?

"A third-tier high-grade alchemist, the Azure Serpent's alchemy skills have progressed rapidly. But since you are so magnanimous, I, as your senior brother, cannot be ungrateful and hoard all the benefits."

With a flick of his finger, Fang Yi sent a star-studded pearl falling in front of Xu Qingshe.

"Junior brother, don't refuse. You've taken such a great risk, and I'm just going to keep this opportunity for myself. How can I face people if word gets out?"

"This Hanging Star Pearl is a token of Brother Xishan, which is in the possession of the Wugengzi lineage."

With this item, you can go to the Star-Picking Pavilion to find him and exchange spirit stones for spirit medicine.

"Exchange spirit stones for spirit medicine?" Xu Qingshe's face lit up with joy.

Of the myriad arts of cultivation, alchemy, talismans, formations, and artifacts are most closely related to cultivation. A third-tier superior alchemist is certainly not lacking in spirit stones.

However, third-tier precious medicines are already hard to find, and the Great Cloud is an even more barren land, with all the near-fourth-tier spiritual veins having been dug up by the various sects of the Great Yu.

He was wealthy and had no shortage of spirit stones, but he had nowhere to exchange them for third-tier precious medicines.

"Yes, spirit stones can be exchanged for spirit medicine."

Senior Brother Xishan is a good person, and he is not short of spirit stones. He is going to support the younger generation in the sect.

After all, although Martial Uncle Red Eyebrows had attained the position of True Lord, the alchemy tradition within his sect was still inferior to that of the Great Yu's Nascent Soul sects.

Fang Yi nodded slightly, the Void Realm Banner fluttering behind him, outlining a scene of vibrant life.

The Spirit-Devouring Moss exhales spiritual energy, withered lotus seeds sway, the Azure Scaled Datura shines brightly, the Fire Jujube Wood's spiritual fruits are like pearls, and the Seven-Foot Sweet Pear Tree is surrounded by vitality.
Within the Blessed Land of Withered Glory, the phantom images of more than twenty precious medicinal herbs appeared, including many top-grade third-rank herbs.

"Senior brother, what is this?!" The fragrant aroma of medicine wafted over, and Xu Qingshe's pupils widened in shock.

Where did Fang Yi collect so many spiritual plants and precious herbs from in this barren land of Dayun?
"It's just some accumulated wealth, nothing compared to those with substantial fortunes. Junior brother, you can only exchange it if you need it."
When one reaches the upper level of the third stage of alchemy and condenses the elixir root, it is necessary to open the furnace to refine medicine and absorb medicinal qi for nourishment.

The Great Yu Ice Plains will later offer abundant opportunities, but the opponents are no ordinary foe. Green Snake, do not be polite.”

Thinking that Yin Yue had just produced a near-fourth-tier precious herb, Fang Yi's gaze became deep and mysterious, seemingly penetrating through layers of magical restrictions and landing on the Hehuan Sect.

There are still some spiritual plants in this blessed land that have not yet appeared. They are used to refine spiritual liquid and cultivate the Four-Nine Mysterious Technique.

The near-fourth-tier withered purple vein vine used to refine the spirit puppet, as well as several Yin and Netherworld Corpse Path spirits that are not convenient to show themselves.
There are also seedlings of the Mysterious Heavenly Vine of unknown grade.
Even so, excluding the Xuan Tian Ling Vine, his net worth is far inferior to Yin Yue's.

In terms of combat skills, Fang Yi was full of confidence in defeating Yin Yue.

In terms of wealth and status, let alone Fang Yi, even Zhang Hengyi and You Xishan, who inherited the lineage of the Ancestral Hall, are no match for Yin Yue, a person with profound blessings.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, Junior Brother!" Xu Qingshe pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and took away several spiritual herbs.

"Three sweetgum fruits, two jujubes, and one green Ganoderma lucidum."

Feeling the rich medicinal properties of the precious herb in his hand, he closed his eyes slightly, thinking of the rumors in the sect that Fang Yi and Zhang Heng cultivated the Way of Wood Withering and the Way of Wood Life.

A slight smile appeared on his lips, and he muttered something almost imperceptibly.

'As expected of my senior brother'

A few moments.

The gates of Changqing Palace opened, and Xu Qingshe walked out with a beaming smile, heading towards Zhaixing Pavilion.

Inside the bronze ring, 'Old Chen' remained silent, finally letting out a soft sigh. 'Young Xu, sincerity begets sincerity.'

I shouldn't have stopped you from going up the mountain.

"Oh!"

The heavy doors of the Changqing Hall slowly closed, and twelve bronze lamps lit up in the dark and empty hall.

The darkness receded, and crimson firelight illuminated the great hall.

Fang Yi gazed at Huo Zhao, whose five senses were shut off and who was in a deep sleep inside the Five Poisons Cauldron, and used his divine sense to probe into the body of the Dharma body that was radiating golden light.

"The Secret Technique of the Superb Craftsman: Mind Reading!"

His fingertips moved in a series of hand seals, and a mysterious, semi-circular, semi-flat seal appeared between his brows, accompanied by the sound of gears turning.

"Buzz!"

Puppets spread across Huo Zhaofa's body, penetrating deep into his bone marrow and blood essence.

Ultimately, it lingered outside the Dao Foundation, failing to integrate into it, so as not to interfere with the breakthrough of the Core Formation Realm.

Is that so?

Fang Yi's eyes were slightly closed, his five fingers twitching. Huo Zhao's magical power circulated through his meridians according to the [Four Nine Mysterious Technique].

A crack would occasionally appear in his meridians from time to time, and sometimes his magical power would explode, shattering a piece of spiritual bone.

"puff!"

Looking at Huo Zhao's arms, several acupoints such as Tianyin, Xuanchong, and Canghai showed cracks, and blood mist gushed out, his face showed pain.

"As expected, although the Four-Nine Arcane Technique was successfully deduced, it still had some flaws in the details because no one practiced it."
At the moment of condensation, even the slightest difference can lead to vastly different outcomes.

Fang Yi's eyes lit up with joy, his slender fingers twitched, and a wisp of his natal medicinal energy rose up.

"Whoosh!" The Withered Glory Banner fluttered, and several spiritual herbs in the blessed land were swept up, steamed and refined into medicinal liquid by true fire.

"melt!"

The lush medicinal liquid surrounded Huo Zhaofa's body, blending seamlessly with it, and healing several acupoints such as Tianyin, Xuanchong, and Canghai.

Fang Yi raised a yellow gourd, from which the clear spring water flowed, and used it to cleanse Huo Zhao's body.

Continue to deduce the Four-Nine Mysterious Technique.

After one month.

Qianbo Lake, its surface shimmering in the sunlight, is graced by the graceful flight of cranes.

The Crimson Flame Devouring Turtle looked exhausted, and its limbs, which resembled a giant pillar supporting the sky, came to a stop.

"Roar!"

It roared to the sky, gazing at the misty spiritual energy within the verdant island, its ferocious ghostly head protruding, its sharp teeth gleaming.

"Crack!"

A corner of the spiritual vein, which stretched for dozens of miles, was chewed up, and the pure spiritual essence was continuously absorbed. The misty spiritual fog gradually surrounded the tortoise shell, evolving into a magical restriction.

"boom!"

The earth shook violently, and the spirit island cracked, with dark fissures spreading outwards.

Inside the Changqing Hall, a silver phoenix-patterned talisman rose from Fang Yi's fingertip, instantly filling the entire hall with an ancient and profound aura.

He waved his hand and threw the silver phoenix pattern into Huo Zhao's body, absorbing his essence and vital energy, and slowly lurking.

"Ok?"

"Have we arrived at Biyue Pavilion?"
Further west lies the perilous land between the Great Yu and the Great Yun, a route difficult for anyone less than a Core Formation cultivator to traverse.

Fang Yi's eyes closed slightly, his expression becoming somewhat serious.

"After the ancient war to seal the demons, the thirteen states of the human realm were shattered, leaving only five domains."

However, even the five regions that remain are not complete; countless desolate and yin lands have been left behind.

Even the spatial storms left behind by the most dangerous and perilous places, and the ancient savage species, have isolated the major cultivation worlds from them.

"Fortunately, with the Nascent Soul True Monarch suppressing it, the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment disciples in the sect, though facing danger, are ultimately not at their wits' end."

Fang Yi pondered for a moment, then with a wave of his sleeve, his natal medicinal energy coiled around the Void Realm Withering and Flourishing Banner like a serpent.

"It's a good opportunity to cultivate some trust and build a good reputation."

There is gain in loss.
Regardless of whether they are righteous or demonic cultivators, they ultimately hope their friends are of high moral character.

"Buzz!"

The Void Realm Withering and Flourishing Banner shot out, transforming into a round blue sun, with wisps of medicinal energy falling down to nourish the soul and restore magical power.
