Fangxian Heretical Path

Chapter 293 Innate Bone-Changing Pill

Inside the temple of the five internal organs.

After verifying his identity token, Fang Shu strolled into the library, which only Foundation Establishment Immortals could enter.

He stood in front of the rows of bookshelves, his eyes revealing undisguised joy.

"As expected of a celestial sect, they have so many cultivation techniques and incantations for the Foundation Establishment stage!" he thought to himself in admiration.

After wandering around for a while, passing by various spells and cultivation techniques, Fang Shu's footsteps finally stopped on the shelf of books concerning the Gu Dao.

He released his divine sense, and each time he gently touched the jade slips on the shelf, the jade slips would vibrate and transmit a divine thought, telling him what kind of classic texts were hidden inside.

Fang Shu glanced at it briefly, and a hint of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

He stared intently at the jade slips, examined them for a moment, and finally sighed inwardly.

There is no other reason than this.

These jade slips were left in the scripture hall by his master, Long Gu, for the temple's foundation immortals to study and exchange.

Unfortunately, Master Long has now passed away, and it is unknown whether the temple is aware of this matter.

Fang Shu came to his senses and glanced at the Foundation Establishment manuals left by Long Gu, wondering what their prices were.

His eyebrows quickly twitched slightly.

The books that can remain here can only be exchanged for one merit point. Some of them require additional spirit stones in addition to merit points to purchase.

Of course, this rule applies to Foundation Establishment Immortals. Qi Refining Disciples like Fang Shu, who have obtained merit points in advance, enjoy great benefits in exchanging and using them; they only need to pay merit points and do not need to pay spirit stones.

And this applies not only to cultivation manuals, but also to other items such as magical artifacts, talismans, and elixirs.

Fang Shu squinted at the Gu Dao classics in front of him, his fingers secretly pressing down on the living seed bag inside his sleeve.

He thought to himself, "It seems that the Foundation Establishment classics collected by your family's ancestor and Dragon Master are far more valuable than I expected."

It should be noted that all the Gu Dao classics compiled by Long Gu on the bookshelf were kept separately in his possession, and there were also several rare secret manuals that were not on the bookshelf.

Besides the Gu Dao scriptures, the patriarch of the Er family also possessed a total of four Foundation Establishment related spells, one of which was an Eight Tribulation spell that the other party had purchased with great effort after advancing to the Eight Tribulation Earth Immortal.

Fang Shu acquired the wealth of both men, and coincidentally, both of them also kept the classic texts in their possession, making him extremely lucky.

Even he was surprised for a moment:

"Your ancestor had the idea of ​​keeping these things for his own use, or to pass them on to his descendants after his death. That's why he kept these resources and books in the bag so that future generations could make a comeback."

Why did Master Long also keep a copy in his pouch...? Could it be that he also intended to leave behind a legacy in that secret realm should things go wrong?

He pondered the numerous stories of inheritance within the secret realm of Mount Lu and felt that it was probably true.

I let my imagination run wild.

Fang Shu composed himself and quickly walked away from the Gu Dao shelf, then went to the shelf displaying escape techniques and cloud-riding techniques.

He lingered in the scripture hall for a full day, scanning almost the entire catalog of scriptures, which even attracted the attention of the earth immortal guarding the hall.

In the end, all he received was a Foundation Establishment spell and a notebook containing insights from previous Foundation Establishment practitioners.

The spell is called "Minor Gathering and Refining True Clouds and Forbidden Zones". It can gather all kinds of clouds, miasma and poisonous smoke in the world and refine them into a cloud for Foundation Establishment Immortals to use.

The clouds they crafted varied in speed and size, some as slow as galloping horses, others as loud as thunder.

The reason for this is that the effectiveness of the cloud-riding technique is entirely related to the cloud materials used by the immortals. If more materials are used, it can lift thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people; if less materials are used, it can barely carry one person.

In Fang Shu's hand was the Peach Blossom Cloud that he had exchanged for from the female immortal of the Flesh Nunnery.

Although he could currently control the smoke and clouds using the Golden Nitrate Cloud spell, using Qi Refining spells to manage Foundation Establishment materials was ultimately not very efficient. It would be better to exchange for a Foundation Establishment spell; the sooner he bought it, the sooner he could enjoy it. Fortunately, this "Minor Refining and Gathering True Cloud Restriction" didn't require much magical power and even included a matching Qi Refining method, making it extremely convenient for Fang Shu's cultivation.

Its drawback is that the method is complicated and the refining is difficult, but this drawback is not a problem for Fang Shu at all.

After receiving the magic, he left the scripture hall and, after wandering around, returned to the alchemy hall.

The finest items in the Pill Hall are not displayed directly on shelves like those in the Scripture Hall. Instead, they are sealed within large cauldrons by layers of arrays.

If someone needs to obtain medicine, it must be opened slowly, like opening a wine jar.

When Fang Shu arrived, he didn't wander around like he did in the scripture hall. Instead, he bowed to the old alchemist guarding the alchemy hall and asked him to lead him straight to a certain medicine cauldron.

The old alchemist looked at Fang Shu in surprise, pointed at the medicine cauldron and asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you really sure that you want to exchange two merits for this batch of pills?"

Fang Shu nodded with a serious expression.

The old alchemist had pale hair, dressed simply, and carried the smell of an old man. He was clearly an old craftsman who had been immersed in alchemy for a long time but had failed to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. It was unknown how much longer he could live.

This person seemed uninterested in outside news and unaware of Fang Shu's identity, muttering, "It's better to save this good merit for Foundation Establishment."

"If you purchase this batch of Innate Bone-Changing Pills, be careful not to build too solid a foundation, as you might lack the necessary resources for Foundation Establishment."

But the old alchemist only muttered a few words. After confirming Fang Shu's intentions, he didn't even consult the Foundation Establishment Immortal of the Pill Hall. He directly canceled Fang Shu's two merits, chanted a spell, and opened the medicine cauldron.

This surprised Fang Shu for a moment.

The old alchemist seemed to notice his surprise and chuckled to himself, "Someone like me, who has entered the alchemy hall but has no offspring, is, to put it nicely, a member of the sect's foundation; to put it bluntly, even in death, he belongs to the sect. He's nothing but an old dog."

However, within this Pill Hall, my authority is not insignificant.

After speaking, the other party pointed to the medicine cauldron and ordered Fang Shu to move it along with the medicine cauldron, and gave further instructions:
"This pill contains eighteen pills. It can help people nourish their physical body, repair their organs, and improve their physical constitution. It is very helpful in stabilizing their foundation, especially for immortals who do not cultivate their physical body. It can even purify their spiritual roots, but they cannot improve their grade."

However, please remember that all eighteen pills must be taken exactly as prescribed; not a single one can be omitted. If even one pill is missing, the medicine will be completely ineffective, like a piece of candy.

"Thank you for your advice, senior." Fang Shu cupped his hands in thanks.

With a flick of his sleeve, he pocketed the furnace of Innate Bone-Changing Pills.

Next.

Fang Shu then purchased and exchanged some miscellaneous pills at the Dan Hall, especially several kinds of insect pills and baits that could nourish Gu worms. Immediately afterwards, he rushed to the Jin family's Duobao Hall to attend the banquet that everyone had arranged in advance.

Upon arriving at the location, he discovered that the number of people attending the banquet was indeed quite large.

Many immortals who had no connection with the general public also tried every means to climb over.

Fortunately, no matter how many people there were, it didn't affect Fang Shu and the others in the private room.

As he was among them, just like when he returned to his sect, he remained the center of attention, with a constant stream of people coming to offer him wine and tea.

In stark contrast, Black Rat kept his head down the whole time, silently drinking wine and tea, only occasionally exchanging a few words with those around him.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Once the banquet was over and all the chores were done, Fang Shu sealed off his cave dwelling and hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign in the main hall.

There are still more than two months until the so-called Foundation Building Conference.

This amount of time is neither too much nor too little.

He was just trying to use this time to see if he could replenish the remaining toad-shaped true energy.
That's right. Fang Shu's purpose in this seclusion is to try his luck and see if he can cultivate the Hundred Toad True Qi!
This is why he would spend two merit points to exchange for that batch of Innate Bone-Changing Pills.

　Updates have been a bit slow these past couple of days. This is the final chapter of the series, so take it easy and think things through.
