Chapter 27: A Prophecy Come True
Fang Yun had actually heard of the origin of the Demon Spirit Foundation Building Technique.
That was more than a decade ago, during the second Chen Guo gathering of the five of them.
Niu Ben once mentioned an interesting anecdote on the road.
It is said that deep in the remote Luojiao Ravine, an ancient immortal cave dwelling related to half-demon was unearthed.
It even attracted several Foundation Establishment forces from the surrounding area.
Back then, the Niu family even sent several elders, hoping to get a piece of the pie.
This cultivator was the one they first encountered at that time, and he displayed the cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Afterwards, he fought alongside the elders of the Niu family and even obtained some minor opportunities.
As a matter of course, he was invited to Funiu Mountain to serve as a family retainer.
For more than a decade, all was peaceful, and the Niu family gradually lowered their guard.
Until last evening, Jie Xiu expressed his desire to return to the mortal world and personally request an audience with the Niu family patriarch.
He then suddenly attacked and killed the only Qi Refining Perfection cultivator in Funiu Mountain.
The fangs of a viper are truly revealed.
Combine these stories with what was found in the storage bag.
After discussing it, the three gradually pieced together the past of this cultivator.
As a rogue cultivator, he was quite lucky to discover this Demon Spirit Foundation Building Method in an ancient cultivator's cave.
He was seriously injured in the struggle with others.
Later, in order to recover from his injuries, he deliberately concealed his cultivation level and entered the Niu family, where he secluded himself in Funiu Mountain and devoted himself to cultivation for more than ten years.
Not long ago, he successfully broke through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
As for why they were so heartless as to slaughter the entire Niu family.
He had his eye on the treasure trove of Funiu Mountain, wanting to seize a large number of spirit stones to purchase a second-tier formation.
Fang Yun found a jade slip on Jie Xiu's body.
It contains detailed records of several second-tier grand formations.
All of them can be carried and used at will; they are extremely powerful and expensive.
The Qi Refining cultivator wanted to kill a Foundation Establishment demon beast, achieving victory against all odds.
Formations are indeed the best choice.
This cultivator's idea is brilliant, and his line of thinking is absolutely correct.
Unfortunately, she was just unlucky; all her hard work was in vain.
In the end, it was Fang Yun and his two companions who benefited.
"Hunting a second-tier demon beast is too dangerous. My suggestion is to inform Fairy Qin Yao and ask her for help."
Fang Yun played with the snow-white skull and expressed his opinion.
He was too cowardly; he thought he could kill a Foundation Establishment demon beast with just a few Qi Refining cultivators.
It's too dangerous.
"I second that. I think what the young marquis said makes sense."
Lu Guishou held the same idea.
Niu Ben scratched his head, showing no opinion.
His cultivation level is too low; he's still a body-refining cultivator. Whether he can achieve Qi Refining Perfection before the age of sixty is a question.
Having confirmed that there was no problem with the origin of the demon spirit technique, Fang Yun finally felt relieved.
He and Lu Guishou left Funiu Mountain and returned to Liuyunfang City.
The day after his return, Fang Yun sent Fang Yaode a bag of spirit stones.
People may not want it, but you can't refuse to give it.
In addition, the Fang family's law enforcement team was also involved.
Fang Yun's pretext was to treat his brothers to drinks.
We are grateful to them for their tireless efforts in helping the Niu family in the middle of the night.
And so, the turmoil at Funiu Mountain quickly passed and was forgotten by everyone.
No monks mentioned it again.
……
In the blink of an eye, spring has gone and autumn has come.
Fang Yun has been in charge of the Dan Pavilion in the market for a year now.
He diligently cultivates his spiritual power every day, striving to achieve perfect spiritual refinement as soon as possible.
Fang Yun had thoroughly studied that Demon Spirit Foundation Building Technique and knew how to perform it in detail.
First, you need to find a wood-attribute monster that corresponds to your spiritual root.
Fang Yun never imagined that the very first step would stump him.
Second-tier demonic beasts are powerful and rare, and even for a Foundation Establishment family like the Fang family, there isn't much information about them publicly.
Only two or three could be found.
After much deliberation, Fang Yun finally returned to the Green Wood Sect.
Only powerful Golden Core sects have sufficient strength and manpower.
To investigate the whereabouts of numerous Foundation Establishment level demonic beasts and draw up distribution maps—this is the foundation of a powerful force.
Just as Fang Yun was secretly troubled, an opportunity unexpectedly came knocking on his door.
A family law enforcement monk arrived at the door, carrying a warrant.
He was invited to Fang Yaode's cave to discuss important matters.
The main hall was somewhat dim. Fang Yun walked in and was surprised to see Fang Panxin, the long-lost patriarch of the Fang family.
He looked decades older, with white hair at his temples and his whole body hunched over, as if his spine had been bent by a heavy burden.
His previous confident and witty demeanor has vanished.
Instead, his face was weathered and worn, his brows furrowed with unyielding sorrow, his face etched with grief.
Fang Yun's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately had a bad feeling.
Someone's words came true.
Fang Yaowan's breakthrough attempt failed, and his words proved prophetic.
One Foundation Building Pill, one auxiliary spiritual item, and many other rare pills such as Jade Bamboo Pill.
Such a huge investment only resulted in an empty ending.
The dark clouds that have lost the protection of the Foundation Establishment cultivators are about to envelop the entire Purple Lake.
The news of Fang Yaowan's failure has not yet spread; they will keep it a secret for as long as possible.
Fang Panxin meant that he wanted to visit Qin Yao again and firmly grasp this powerful backer.
In case the Fang family patriarch passes away someday, they can seek protection from him.
They wouldn't be swallowed whole, bones and all, leading to the destruction of their family and clan.
Before long, Lu Guishou arrived and was also told the same shocking news.
The head of the Fang family acted quickly, and that very night, he took the two of them and set off on a flying boat.
I don't want to waste any time.
Aoki Immortal Sect.
Fang Yun came here again.
The mountains are majestic, with ancient trees reaching for the sky. The terrain resembles a crouching dragon, exhaling boundless energy.
They dared not show up openly.
They secretly contacted Lin Dong through a disciple of the Fang family within the sect.
Several days later, we were finally able to set foot on Danfeng Mountain.
Although Qin Yao married Chen Zhenren, she still spent her daily cultivation time in the sect.
He only occasionally returns to Yuquan Mountain to share a room and sleep with the ancestor.
Such rumors and gossip concerning Golden Core cultivators are rampant in the cultivation world.
Qin Yao's cultivation level has become increasingly profound. Her eyes are dazzling, and terrifying flames burn on her hair, accompanied by a faint phoenix cry.
The head of the Fang family personally visited, presenting generous gifts. After leaving, his expression was a mixture of joy and worry.
It's unclear what the two of them talked about.
Fang Yun pulled Lu Guishou along and followed him into the hall.
"Greetings, Senior Qin!"
Qin Yao looked at their awkward demeanor, her face expressionless, but inwardly she sighed: "What business do you have with me?"
"Please take a look, senior."
Fang Yun took out the demon spirit technique he had prepared beforehand and said loudly, "I am willing to offer this ancient secret technique to you, senior, in exchange for three suitable pieces of information about demon beasts."
Once Qin Yao reads this secret technique, she will naturally understand its meaning.
Whether or not they will intervene depends entirely on their friendship.
"A demon spirit establishing its foundation, that's somewhat interesting..."
After reading it, Qin Yao carefully deduced: "This method is not bad, but it is too dangerous."
"It requires fusing the demon soul into the sea of consciousness, making it easy to lose oneself and be influenced by the nature of the demon beast."
The three stages of Foundation Building are most difficult, with the final and most challenging being the soul.
The flesh and blood of the demon race can only enable Qi Refining cultivators to possess magical power and physical body comparable to ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Only by swallowing the soul of a demon beast and forcibly refining it can a true Foundation Establishment Divine Sense be born!
The danger should not be underestimated.
Fang Yun remained respectful, waiting for Qin Yao to continue.
"Master Lu... Young friend Lu and San Niu Zi's cultivation is insufficient. Their search for demonic beasts is not urgent and can be postponed for now."
"Young Marquis, as someone with a wood-elemental root, the most suitable foundation-building demon beasts for you are actually those spirit creatures that have become plant spirits."
"These plant-beast monsters are gentle in nature and slumber in the earth for many years."
"On the contrary, there are not as many emotions and desires, which can reduce the backlash impact of the demon soul on the cultivator's soul."
