Chapter 66 One Fish, Four Ways to Eat It
Chapter 66 One Fish, Three Ways (Congratulations to Alliance Leader Qing Ningzi!)
Little White Island.
Inside the cave, Fang Qing casually tossed the scroll in his hand aside.
The title page of this secret book prominently displays the four large characters "大日真解" (Great Sun True Explanation).
Even after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, I still can't understand it —
Clearly, he had some ideas about this orthodox Great Sun cultivation method, but it was too profound and obscure to get started.
If the "Great Sun Initiation Secret Technique" is so mysterious, the orthodox Great Sun Technique must be even more extraordinary, right? I've collected several portions of "Great Sun Purple Qi," but alas, I can't even begin to understand it.
It seems that cultivators of the Great Sun Dao lineage are a taboo in ancient Shu? Last time, just as a hint of this emerged, a Purple Mansion cultivator fell victim—truly lacking in martial ethics.
When that old fox Anzhuzi sold me the cultivation technique, he was probably just trying to lure me in. Besides, the Great Sun Ancient Cultivation Technique is impossible to cultivate, and the Secret Domain Cultivation Technique has extremely serious consequences. What he really wanted to sell me was the "Sun and Moon Intercourse Yin and Yang Great Joy Ode"!
Unfortunately, the "Great Joy of the Intercourse of Sun and Moon, Yin and Yang" has a huge pitfall! It's probably the kind of pitfall even I can't escape, so I don't dare cultivate it at all, and simply don't even look at it.
After sighing, Fang Qing, as usual, checked Xu Hei's live broadcast through the "Dao Sheng Zhu".
Over the past few years, Xu Hei has been traveling to various markets and exchange fairs to exchange spiritual resources for Fang Qing. This man is very shrewd and experienced. He always delivers very little each time and hides his identity. He leaves as soon as he gets his hands on something, so he has not encountered any danger.
Furthermore, the markets and exchange fairs are full of information, and we have learned a lot of intelligence.
Fang Qing only paid attention to a few things.
"The [Zhenshui] Dao Foundation Technique appeared once, but it was later discovered to be a trap, almost ensnaring Xu Hei—"
"The Dao Foundation Spiritual Object of [Ji Shui] is still missing—or rather, it's quite possible it's still related to that sword cultivator's cave."
Several years have passed, and the once-sensational sword cultivator's cave has long since been explored.
It is said that there are many cultivation techniques, spiritual items, and even a flying sword among them!
Many of these spiritual creatures are at the Foundation Establishment stage. Although none belong to the [Ji Shui], it is said that the sword cultivation technique was obtained by a cultivator surnamed Tian, thus inheriting the lineage of Master Yanbo.
Perhaps in the future, we can open up the blessed land of misty waves.
This blessed land gathers the essence of heaven and earth, including not only Daoist foundation spirits but also Purple Mansion spirits!
Fang Qing was both looking forward to it and secretly wary.
After all, this method is somewhat similar to what Li Rulong encountered, and the high-level cultivators in that wretched place of Ancient Shu have a penchant for frying fish.
Perhaps these sword cultivator caves are all bait—a trap to cultivate a few successors to the lineage of Master Yanbo, so they can unlock the Yanbo Blessed Land. These successors may seem to possess extraordinary opportunities, but in reality, they are merely the "keys."
Wait a minute—then why did my last divination only indicate "inauspiciousness regarding the foundation of one's Dao," instead of "a major inauspiciousness indicating scheming within the Purple Palace"?
Fang Qing was somewhat puzzled.
Even cultivators at the Purple Mansion level can't predict everything; perhaps they simply have fortuitous opportunities or a predetermined destiny.
Whatever their schemes, I'll just wait for the Blessed Land of Misty Waves to open. I don't need to go in myself; I can send Xu Hei, or even Xu Hei can stay out and wait for the cultivators to bring out the spiritual items before I go and buy them.
After calming himself down, Fang Qing left the cave and went to the location of the spirit pool.
"This Blazing Essence Spring allocated by the sect, although it's a second-tier low-grade spring, was hastily constructed and its water properties are slightly lacking. If you want to refine pills with it, it's best to nurture it with Yang-attribute spiritual water beforehand—however, the Yang Profound Pill is only a first-tier high-grade pill, so there's no need for such trouble; you can start refining it directly."
After all, it's just a temporary spirit pool, and we don't care about public property.
-
Fang Qing summoned his disciples who assisted him in refining pills, and they prepared to begin.
"Disciple Hua Lingsu greets Uncle Fang—Master Fang. The materials for the Yangxuan Pill are here."
Hua Lingsu still looks like she's in her early twenties, which suggests she takes great care of herself and has taken anti-aging pills.
At this moment, he respectfully handed over a storage bag.
"Hmm—you chose these? The medicinal properties are all quite good—"
Fang Qing inspected the items and nodded in satisfaction.
As a disciple of Dan Island, Hua Lingsu was also transferred to the front line this time. Fortunately, she was only in charge of logistics and did not have to risk her life.
"Disciple Wulongzi greets Martial Uncle, congratulations on your successful Foundation Establishment and eternal immortality!"
Among the other disciples assigned to Fang Qingmo's tutelage, there was one acquaintance.
The middle-aged Wulongzi's face turned pale and then red, but he still bowed respectfully.
The disciples around him were trying hard to suppress their laughter.
"Hmm—get up."
Fang Qing didn't care about this at all. This Fifth Dragon Prince had failed to establish his foundation twice, and it was said that even his master, Qingwu, had given up on him. It was even more impossible for him not to go to the front line this time.
"By the way, what are you doing here?"
No matter what, Wu Longzi is still a near-second-tier alchemist. It's a waste of his talents to have him here refining Yangxuan Pills.
Unless the person who arranged this knew that this person had a grudge against them and was deliberately humiliating this person?
"Human nature—"
Fang Qing sighed inwardly, and then heard the respectful voice of the Fifth Dragon Prince: "Reporting to Martial Uncle, I failed in my Foundation Establishment attempt, and the backlash of my magical power almost caused me to fall to the mid-stage of Qi Refining. My injuries have not yet healed, and my magical power is weak, so I am unable to refine second-tier pills. Therefore, I was sent here to assist Martial Uncle in refining the Yang Xuan Pill."
To refine second-tier pills, abundant magical power is essential.
Fang Qing scanned the Five Dragon Princes with his divine sense and found that their magical power was indeed weak. They might not even be able to defeat a sixth-level Qi Refining disciple who was skilled in combat.
With such weak magical power, the success rate of refining second-tier pills would be unbelievably low. No wonder the sect dared not let this person refine pills alone—but if I arrange it here, wouldn't it be good to let him preside over the pill refining? How can I be lazy? No matter how useless this Fifth Dragon Prince is, refining first-tier high-grade pills is still a piece of cake.
Was this also Linghu Zhong's arrangement?
Fang Qing was quite satisfied with this, since no one would put in real effort if they could slack off.
"Alright, I'll assign the tasks—this Yangxuan Pill has three main ingredients. I'll be responsible for the Yangyuan Flower, and Fifth Dragon Prince, you handle the other two—Flower Spirit Essence, and you'll be responsible for refining the Three Yang Spirit Water—and I'll be responsible for the final combination of the medicinal power."
He gave the order and poured a large amount of materials into the spirit pool.
The Yangxuan Pill Sect has a great demand, so it needs to refine a large number of pills at once. This is why the sect entrusted this task to a second-level alchemist, in order to ensure that every batch is successful and that the quality and quantity are outstanding!
"yes!"
The disciples readily accepted the order and began forming hand seals.
The spring water of Lieyuan Spring flowed out, turning into a stream that surrounded everyone, like a winding stream, with precious medicines floating on it.
The disciples all made their moves, as if on a precise assembly line.
Three days later.
"combine!"
Fang Qing made hand seals, and crimson pills instantly condensed at the bottom of the spirit pool. After being nurtured, they were sent to the surface by the water control technique.
Hua Lingsu and Wu Longzi quickly took out the jade bottles they had prepared beforehand, each containing a pill. They also complimented, "Uncle's alchemy skills are truly exquisite and have greatly benefited us."
"Haha—I'm still far from being as good as the alchemy masters on Dan Island."
Fang Qing said modestly, but he knew in his heart that after successfully establishing his foundation, his magical power was abundant and his spiritual sense was greatly enhanced, which would indeed be beneficial for refining second-tier pills.
Now, he is quite confident in refining mid-grade second-tier pills.
In terms of alchemy, he is probably not much worse than Fuyunzi and others, only slightly inferior to Elder Tianding.
"Alright, there are two more pools to go."
After having his disciples meditate and rest for several hours, Fang Qing continued to open the furnace.
He had been refining pills for half a month and was still full of energy, but Wulongzi was unsteady on his feet, emaciated, and looked like he was about to fall over at any moment.
Hua Lingsu, standing next to her, was in no better condition; her face was pale and her hair was disheveled.
"This alchemy mission is now complete. I'm going to turn it in. You all return to your caves and rest for a month—"
Fang Qing put away the storage bag full of Yang Xuan Pills, transformed into a streak of light, and headed towards the Bronze Palace.
The other disciples bid farewell and departed, but Wu Longzi watched Fang Qing's disappearing light, his eyes filled with a mixture of envy and regret.
As is customary, Foundation Establishment cultivators also have a short rest period after completing their tasks.
Fang Qing came to the front line not because he was truly willing to risk his life for the sect, but to hunt second-tier demonic beasts and refine Water Element Pills.
Inside the cave.
Qin Ruxue's face was still flushed with excitement: "Young Master—I have completed several missions and have found out the whereabouts of several second-tier demonic beasts—including the Moon Worship Shell that you need!"
"Oh? Tell me more—"
Fang Qing stroked Qin Ruxue's thigh while taking the jade slip.
The location that Qin Ruxue mentioned was actually just a general area of the sea. Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would feel like searching for a needle in a haystack if they went there.
However, the secrets of this world are clear, and no one is competing with him for it. He has already established his foundation!
As long as you obtain an item containing the aura of a demonic beast, you can easily identify it by using the Plum Blossom Divination method to perform divination.
-
"Not bad, not bad—"
Fang Qing then took a fragment of a magical artifact from Qin Ruxue. It was left behind by a disciple killed by the Moon Worship Shell, and it still contained the remnants of the Moon Worship Shell's demonic energy!
"You can go accept the quest related to the Moon Worship Shell now. We'll join forces and kill it!"
He held the fragment of the magical artifact and nodded slightly.
"Thank you, young master!"
Qin Ruxue was overjoyed. If she could kill a second-tier demon beast, even without a demon core, she would still gain a lot of merit.
If you accumulate enough of these, you can also exchange them for Foundation Establishment Pills!
"It's just a matter of mutual benefit. This Moon Worship Shell may not have condensed a demon core, but it certainly contains a bright pearl—"
Qi Refining stage cultivators use magic weapons, while Foundation Establishment stage cultivators use spiritual weapons!
Fang Qing currently only has the Azure Spirit Armor given to him by Linghu Chong, so he naturally wants to obtain a second-tier Bright Pearl to upgrade his own Sea Transformation Pearl into a spiritual weapon.
"Incidentally, we can also use other materials from the Moon Worship Shell to try refining the Water Essence Pill," thus satisfying Qin Ruxue's merits. It can be said that we can make three uses out of one fish, making the most of that spirit shell.
