I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 315: A strange way to overcome difficulties, Dongqiao Mountain!

Most of the jade slips in the ape monster's storage bag contained some methods of monster cultivation or various sword scriptures, which Gu Yuan was not interested in.

Only these two jade slips aroused his curiosity.

The Soul Refining and Spirit Cleansing Demonic Heart Technique is a demonic method for cultivating the soul.

This method requires the collection of a large number of living souls, which are then boiled using a secret method to form a bowl of "Soul Refining and Spirit Cleansing Soup". Once this soup enters the body, it is like being cut into pieces by a thousand knives. The soul and spirit are cut by countless sharp blades and it is extremely painful. However, as long as one can endure it, the power of the soul and spirit will be greatly enhanced.

If one can survive seven bowls, one can cultivate a "Soul-Falling Demonic Light" with great power. If a cultivator has weaker spiritual power, his soul will be pulled out of the body and torn into pieces by one blow.

This method is evil and cruel, and a large number of living souls are needed to make the "Soul Refining and Spirit Cleansing Soup", but when practicing it, there is nothing evil about it, but rather it is an upright method of refining souls. The souls cultivated by this method not only have no sequelae and weaknesses, but are also very tenacious, and are no less than the orthodox methods of Xuanmen.

"No wonder I was in a trance for a moment. This method is indeed mysterious..."

Gu Yuan read it carefully and couldn't help but marvel at it.

Even with his spiritual power that was close to the late Jindan stage, he could hardly withstand that ray of devilish light. One can imagine the power of this method.

"Living soul..."

Gu Yuan murmured in his heart, then put away the jade slip and looked at another jade slip.

Duer puppet!
This jade slip records the method used by the ape demon to forcibly change the lock of the Five Thunder Punishment Heaven Seal.

This method requires finding a strange spiritual stone called "Due'e Stone", grinding the stone into powder, and then using the five unique spiritual materials of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, as well as a secret method, to cast a puppet body. Then mix the "Due'e Stone Powder" with essence and blood, and smear it on the puppet. Finally, place it three feet away from the body and nourish it with magic power for 49 days, and then it will be successfully refined.

Once this puppet succeeds, it will have the miraculous ability to save people from disasters, which is extremely mysterious.

Any spell cast by the enemy can be directed at the Du'e puppet.

Even the power of heavenly calamity can be directed to the Du'e puppet.

The puppet is immortal and invulnerable to all kinds of attacks.

Not only that, this Du'e puppet has more than just the ability to take on a disaster once. Its body is extremely strong, as solid as the original state, and as strong as steel. As long as it is not hit by an extraordinary force, it will be crushed into powder. It can continuously resist attacks from all kinds of spells.

The higher the quality of the puppet, the more spells it can resist.

A third-level puppet made of a third-level Deliverance Stone and third-level Five Elements spiritual materials can resist the magic of the Jindan period.

If it is a fourth-level stone for saving disasters, combined with a fourth-level puppet made of fourth-level five-element spiritual materials, it can even withstand the attacks of the Daotai realm.

The puppet body is not affected by the realm. As long as there are enough resources, one can even make a fifth-level Du'e puppet in the Jindan stage to resist the attack of the Yuanxiang realm.

It can be said to be a supreme method of avoiding disasters with puppets!
"It seems that the Deliverance Stone used by the ape demon puppet is not of high grade, otherwise the outcome might still be a matter of choice..."

Gu Yuan had not expected that this puppet technique had such a origin.

If there are enough resources, then wouldn't it mean that when you are refining Qi, you will be immune to all kinds of attacks?

However, he also understood in his heart that the realm gap was too great and a puppet body could not save his life, but the magic of this method was evident.

"Duo'e Stone..."

However, Gu Yuan had never seen this stone in his practice until now. He only vaguely saw a simple description of this stone in the classics of the Taoist Temple and Qianlang Sect.

The strange stones of heaven and earth are born only when fate brings them together.

"Pity……"

Gu Yuan stroked the jade slip and sighed slightly in his heart.

Even a good cook cannot cook without rice. Although this method is wonderful, without the stone of salvation, everything is like the moon in the water.

After putting away the jade slip, Gu Yuan calmed down his mind. Then, with a thought, he activated the golden elixir in his dantian, and a blood-colored soul light wrapped in magic power appeared.

This blood-colored soul light is the size of a longan and is surrounded by blood. The shadow of a six-winged insect can be vaguely seen inside. It is the evil soul light of the Heart-Eating Bug.

This spiritual light is the original spiritual light of the heart-eating worm. Controlling this soul is equivalent to controlling the life of the heart-eating worm. As long as Gu Yuan's mind moves and his magic power is used, the heart-eating worm will be scared to death and will not have any power to resist.

And through this soul light, one can communicate with the heart-eating insects at will within a certain distance.

Not long after, the Heart Devourer came in from outside the hall with a flattering smile, bowing and nodding, and saluted, "Master!"

"How about practicing while living in this body?"

Gu Yuan sat cross-legged on the cushion, motionless, and just asked lightly.

The Heart Devouring Bug didn't know what Gu Yuan meant, so he could only answer honestly, "My Lord, this golden frog has decent talent, but in order to cultivate a soul-burning demonic flame, it forced its growth and performed a blood sacrifice, which damaged its bones and blood. It can only be said that its cultivation aptitude is average."

Its cultivation basically depends on the roots, bones and bloodline of the host body. The stronger the talent of the host body, the faster it will cultivate.

"If your own roots and bloodline are improved, can you inhabit a stronger body?"

Gu Yuan asked.

The Heart Devouring Bug was slightly moved when he heard this, but when he thought of Gu Yuan's usual methods, he scratched his head and said uncertainly: "I'm not sure either. After all, my cultivation method is different from that of ordinary monsters. But if my bloodline is improved, I think it will be of some help."

"You have followed me the longest, so you are of some use. I have a spell here, which I will give to you as a reward. You can get the spiritual materials you need outside the temple. As for the ancient demon spirit, it depends on your own fate."

After saying that, Gu Yuan waved his sleeves and gave a jade slip of the practice seal of the Soul-Tracing Prayer Seal to the Heart-Eating Bug.

The Heart Devouring Bug took the jade slip and just glanced at it. It was so excited that it immediately bowed to Gu Yuan and said, "Thank you, Master, for the Dharma. Thank you, Master, for the Dharma!"

The most important thing for the demon race to cultivate is their bloodline. Those who are born with different species can cultivate very quickly. Some of those with powerful bloodlines are even born into the realm of great demons.

But those with ordinary bloodlines find it difficult to even give birth to spiritual intelligence.

You can imagine how huge the difference is.

Moreover, blood is innate and almost impossible to change.

The Soul-Returning Prayer Seal can be traced back to its origin and can absorb the spirit of ancient demons, improve one's bones, and promote one's bloodline. One can imagine how precious it is.

It is definitely a treasure for any demon clan.

Even though the Heart-Eating Bug has always been confident in its bloodline, it is still very excited when it sees this method.

I'm already so powerful, what will happen if my bloodline advances further?

Thinking of this, he wished he could fly out of the hall immediately to look for the ancient demon's aura.

"Don't be impatient. Refine the seal first. This Yunmeng Lake is an ancient spiritual land. There must be some essence left."

"After some time, you will have to follow me to Dongqiao Mountain."

Seeing this, Gu Yuan couldn't help but scold.

"Master taught me that little bugs must not cause any trouble."

Upon hearing this, the Heart-Eating Bug quickly responded with anticipation in its heart.

Lingbao Cliff is an ancient sect, it is possible that there is ancient demon spirit left here!

…………

Dongqiao Mountain.

This mountain is located in the east of Yunmeng Lake. It is a solitary peak hundreds of feet high. The water around it is turbulent, the waves are splashing, and the sound of waves hitting the water is endless. Because there is a strange rock on the top of the mountain that looks like a woodcutter, it is named Dongqiao Mountain.

The spiritual energy of this mountain is not too strong, and there are no spiritual minerals produced inside. There are only thousands of fruit trees growing unrestrainedly all over the mountain.

There lived in the mountain a group of low-level ape monsters, who usually collected fruits and brewed their own unique monkey wine. They climbed to the top of the mountain, howled, drank and had fun, and were very happy.

But with an incident five hundred years ago, the peaceful days in this mountain are gone forever.

The strange rock on the top of the mountain that looked like a woodcutter has disappeared, and even the entire mountain top has been flattened and smooth.

Traces of fire, ice, knives and axes are all over the cliff.

The entire solitary peak was silent, with only the sound of the howling wind and the splashing water to be heard.

This has been the case for a hundred years.

But today, a light suddenly appeared in the sky above Dongqiao Mountain.

A crimson cloud, with rolling heat waves, came undisguisedly and landed on the mirror-smooth top of Dongqiao Mountain, revealing a burly, bearded man with half-naked clothes and an open chest.

The bearded man's aura was so strong that it reached the sky, and his magical power was almost overflowing and he couldn't control it.

The hard rock under his feet made a sizzling sound when he stepped on it, and it seemed to be melting into pulp.

It turned out that he had reached the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, and was only one step away from entering the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.

The bearded man's eyes were as hot as the sun. With blazing power, he scanned the area around the cliff and snorted with disdain: "They are all cowards who hide their heads and show their tails. It's hard for them to achieve anything great!"

As soon as the words fell, a hearty laugh sounded from the distant horizon: "Not everyone has the same means as Fellow Daoist Zhong. They just want to fish in troubled waters, so they naturally dare not reveal their tracks!"

Along with this laughter, a golden rainbow-like light suddenly appeared and landed on the top of Dongqiao Mountain, revealing a graceful young man wearing a white crane cloak, a star crown on his head, and a folding fan in his hand.

The young man looked young, but his eyes showed a sense of vicissitudes. He had a smile on his lips and looked like he had everything under control.

"It's the dog days of summer. Wearing this thick layer, you won't feel too hot!"

The big man with curly beard seemed to know the young man in the crane cloak. After seeing the newcomer, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Haha, the Baoya Order may not be obtained, but this manner cannot be lost!"

Hearing this, the young man in the crane cloak laughed and replied.

"You two Taoist friends arrived early. I wonder if you have received the treasure order?"

At this moment, another old voice came from afar, and then an invisible ripple emerged on the cliff, and then an old Taoist priest with messy hair, wearing a seven-star Taoist robe and holding a tattered Taoist banner, walked out.

On the Taoist banner, there are five twisted and distorted characters that look like children's graffiti: No charge if you make a mistake!
"Fortune teller, you are here too?!"

Seeing this and the old Taoist priest, the bearded man and the young man in the crane cloak frowned and asked subconsciously.

In the void on the left and right cliffs, there seemed to be fluctuations of breath, causing slight "ripples".

"Hehe, I, the old Taoist priest, read your fortune and it turns out that there will be a treasure on this trip, so I came here to join in the fun!"

The old Taoist priest chuckled, revealing a mouthful of slightly yellow teeth.

"The famous fortune teller from Yunmeng Lake is here. I wonder if he can tell who will get this treasure in the end?!"

As soon as the old Taoist priest finished speaking, above the turbulent water in the distance, there appeared a surging green wave about ten feet high, carrying a group of majestic monsters, and quickly came towards Dongqiao Mountain.

Behind the blue waves, hundreds and thousands of little demons were beating drums and gongs and waving demon flags, which looked very grand.

Among this group of great monsters, the one with the lowest cultivation level is also in the early stage of being a great monster. The leader is a burly man with blue hair and green eyes, nine feet tall, with his head held high and his chest puffed out. Although he is in human form, the demonic aura around him is like billowing wolf smoke, rising straight into the sky.

With the many third-level big and small demons surrounding him, he looks very majestic and powerful.

Seeing this monster, the people on the top of Dongqiao Mountain all turned around to look.

The young man in the crane cloak chuckled: "So it's Brother Lei Jiao. Brother Daoist, you're not practicing in the Thunder Lake, but you've come to join in the fun?"

"Haha, I have been practicing in seclusion for the past few hundred years and have been too lazy to pay attention to this matter. Now I am too quiet to think about it. It's time to come out and walk around!"

The nine-foot-tall man laughed loudly, and then he flashed to the top of Dongqiao Mountain. He looked at the Taoist holding the Taoist banner and continued to ask questions: "The Taoist's divination skills are well-known in Yunmeng Lake. I believe he has already predicted the outcome of Lingbao Cliff this time?"

The Taoist raised his eyes and showed no fear of the big man. He just showed his yellow teeth and said with a strange smile: "Bu Shuan, little Taoist, if you can tell the whole world with one divination, why would I, an old Taoist, stay in this swamp?"

But halfway through his words, the old Taoist rolled his eyes, stretched out his tattered Taoist banner, pointed at the big man's sleeves, and said, "However, Taoist Lei Jiao is really lucky. He actually has a Baoya Order in his hand and is eligible to have a share!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on the top of Dongqiao Mountain looked over. In the void on both sides, there were hidden divine thoughts quietly investigating.

"boom!"

But the big man just raised his eyes, and blue scales appeared on his cheeks. The world around him was suddenly surrounded by a violent thunderstorm. All the divine thoughts that touched it groaned and retreated in disappointment.

"How dare you, a cunning person, covet my precious token?"

"If you have the guts, come and get it!"

The big man snorted coldly, then waved his sleeves. A golden token engraved with countless cloud patterns, which looked like a unicorn stepping into the air, hung in front of him and was displayed to everyone with ease.

For a moment, greedy eyes were seen everywhere on Dongqiao Mountain, but no one dared to act rashly.

This big man is actually a thunder dragon that has been practicing for nine hundred years. He is of true alien bloodline and has several great monsters serving him. No matter his own strength or power, he is a leader when the late Jindan cultivators and great monsters do not show up.

Although everyone was greedy, this was only the first Baoya Order, so they temporarily suppressed their restlessness.

"Lei Jiao Daoist's treasure cliff has already refined both blood veins. I wonder who the other Daoist is?"

The bearded man looked at the two bloody lines on the aerial treasure order, his eyes flashed, and asked.

"Just a guy who doesn't know his own limits!"

Lei Jiao smiled faintly, then stretched out his hand and waved it. A middle-aged cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, whose five senses were obscured and who had lost all consciousness, was taken out of his Qiankun bag like a dead dog and displayed in front of everyone.

"I don't know where this person got a treasure token by chance, but he actually asked for a huge reward, wanting to share the treasures of Lingbao Cliff with me. I captured him, sealed his five senses, and held him by my side."

Lei Jiao put his hands behind his back and looked around in a very arrogant manner.

A cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core would be so glorious in the outside world. Even in this swamp, he could be the king of a mountain and enjoy hundreds of years of glory. But now he is thrown to the ground like a dead dog. One can imagine the intimidation of the Thunder Dragon.

But at this moment, the old Taoist holding the Taoist banner suddenly made a hand gesture, raised his eyes, and looked towards an empty space where no one was.

"Since you have come with the treasure order, why don't you show up?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all of a sudden, many divine thoughts surged out and probed into the void.

The big bearded man and the young man in the crane cloak both opened their eyes and looked over.
