Chapter 124 The Last Night in Asakusa

When it comes to alchemy, Fang Yi's first reaction is a neat and mysterious little house, where various reactors, utensils, and all kinds of strange materials are placed in the hands of some Frankenstein-like people. After multiple processing and then some rigorous and precise rituals, they finally become some magnificent works.

However, after binding the [Gauntlets of the Nameless Alchemist], you will gain [Bloody Alchemy] which is currently constant at [LV11] and has a fixed branch of [Drug Refining], which is different from traditional alchemy.

Just use any materials to draw different magic arrays, place the materials you want to synthesize or process, and then inject vitality into them. After just a moment's wait, the materials will be processed by themselves.

Once you know the recipe, you can skip the complicated alchemy process and get the finished product by paying the corresponding vitality according to the knowledge and difficulty of mastering the recipe.

If it’s so convenient, what’s the cost?

The price was that from the moment the gauntlet was bound, Fang Yi chose to pay for his vitality in installments. He obtained [Bloody Alchemy] through [Knowledge of the Dead]. Before he even started using this skill, 11 years of his remaining life were taken away.

At the same time, as long as [Bloody Alchemy] is used, at the current level, the vitality paid must be one's own, or a similar creature that has been dead for no more than a certain period of time and has certain feelings for the user.

This emotion can be anger, hatred, love, or trust. The more intense the emotion, the better the effect. At the same time, the higher the similarity in race, culture, and moral values, the better the effect.

In other words, if the binder wants to activate this convenient alchemy, the most efficient way is to wield the butcher knife against his closely related fellow tribesmen.

Fang Yi even learned one thing from this knowledge, that is, the shorter the time of death of the organism, the better the effect.

The longer the time since death, not only will the vitality of the corpse decrease, but there is even a small probability that negative effects will be triggered in the relics.

And if you want to maximize and avoid risks while utilizing a member of the same family, then you need to.

"Living sacrifice."

Fang Yi uttered this word and looked at the gauntlet that only he could see after it was bound. Under the influence of the knowledge of [Bloody Alchemy] he had obtained, a cruel and ritualistic picture emerged in his mind.

A person was fixed to a stone slab with iron hooks and chains, and then a dagger was slowly stabbed into his body, cutting open the skin and muscles of the sacrifice and exposing the bones underneath.

Then they stabbed the victim's chest, cut open the ribs, took out the heart, and then cut open the victim's abdomen, exposing the internal organs to the air. They used iron hooks and other metal tools to take out the internal organs one by one.

The opponent's heart and internal organs are arranged into a special pattern, and the sacrifice ceremony is completed.

This person will turn pain and despair into his own strength.

[This doesn't feel like proper alchemy, more like a sacrificial ritual to please some gods.]

[Thank goodness it landed in the hands of someone like me who still has some sense of self-control. If it had fallen into the hands of someone else, it would have been on the anti-social news tomorrow.]

Fang Yi complained silently. At this stage, when he used his skills, he had to use the picky [Five Emperors' Coins] as a middleman and use his spare lifespan to pay for his vitality.

To maximize the effectiveness of this skill, it seems that a world full of villains is needed.

"He's a heinous criminal anyway, so why not use him as a stepping stone for me?"

"But does such a world exist?"

After withdrawing his thoughts about this skill, Fang Yi turned his attention to the results of this skill.

Although Fang Yi was a complete novice in alchemy a few seconds ago, he could understand the products of alchemy.

"Now, the blood of Upper Rank Four, Upper Rank Five, and Upper Rank Six, combined into a bloodline item, can resist the high damage of the Nichirin Blade's decapitation."

"If I exchange it for a higher quality [Muzan Kibutsuji's blood], I will produce a bloodline that is resistant to sunlight."

"Isn't this what the scumbag boss has been pursuing?"

The demon that resists sunlight is something that Muzan Kibutsuji will definitely attack even though he knows it is a trap.
-
Because of [Preemptive Strike], Fang Yi wants to retain this skill and must kill Muzan Kibutsuji without sacrificing the Ghost Doctor Tamayo.

Fang Yi's plan to kill Muzan Kibutsuji was divided into several steps. The first step was to find the trash boss, and the second step was to kill the trash boss.

Let’s not talk about the second step, the first step is very difficult.

Because Muzan Kibutsuji is a cowardly and despicable boss.

That's right, this person, or rather this ghost, Muzan Kibutsuji, is an utterly cowardly and despicable ghost.

Just because Yoshiichi Tsugakuni almost killed it in an instant, Muzan Kibutsuji was so scared that he only appeared after that guy died.

Then he cursed all the ghosts, and if you said its name, they would die suddenly.

All demons are created by it. Even if subordinates want to give their blood to others to turn into demons, they need to obtain remote approval from Muzan Kibutsuji.

A true boss.

At the same time, because of Muzan Kibutsuji's blood, these ghosts will have some memories of Muzan Kibutsuji.

After Nakamori Yuto unleashed the [Red Blade], the two clones of Hantengu, the Upper Four, [Kura] and [Kora], in front of him were stunned and frightened, and were easily beheaded by Nakamori Yuto because the blood and cells of Muzan Kibutsuji in their bodies were afraid of Yoriichi Tsugakuni's iconic [Red Blade].

This shows the psychological trauma that Ji Kuniyoshi caused to Muzan Kibutsuji. Fang Yi believes that next, Nakamori Yuto will also be hunted down in the same way as himself.

But there is one thing that Muzan Kibutsuji will definitely do or show up for.

That is the [Blue Spider Lily] or the ghost that overcomes sunlight.

The birth of Muzan Kibutsuji was a treatment, or a medical accident and medical dispute.

The ghost king received treatment for his illness, but found it ineffective, so he killed the doctor. Then he discovered that the doctor's prescription was actually effective.

Under the effect of the other party's medicine, I became a ghost afraid of sunlight, so naturally I had to look for the answer to the problem from the source of the prescription.

[Blue Clover] is a medicinal ingredient that Muzan Kibutsuji has never found in the doctor's prescription.

Therefore, all the demons transformed by Muzan Kibutsuji are used as slaves to find the [Blue Spider Lily].

As for these slaves, Muzan Kibutsuji would naturally beat, kill, and "lay off" them at will whenever he was in a bad mood. At the same time, in order to prevent himself from being overthrown, he did not allow the demons to gather together. Therefore, the demons' fighting will was not very strong, and the team cohesion was very poor.

After all, most of these ghosts were bad people who committed evil deeds before they turned into humans, and they turned into ghosts only by relying on their supernatural powers and resurrection abilities to commit crimes.

It is simply a fantasy to expect these selfish and despicable people to work together and sacrifice for each other.

In addition, there are also bloody battles among demons that advocate the survival of the fittest. For example, Douma, the Upper Rank Two, was originally the Upper Rank Six, and was promoted to the Upper Rank Two through a bloody battle.

Therefore, it is rare to see ghosts gathering for action. This is because the reincarnations can only do this with the blessing of space. This is why Fang Yi had previously misjudged that Chen Cheng could organize his combat power.

In addition to searching for the [Blue Spider Lily], Muzan Kibutsuji keeps creating ghosts because he also hopes to create a ghost that is not afraid of sunlight.

It thought that by eating the ghost, it would also gain the ability to overcome sunlight.

Compared to betting that Nezuko Kamado will gain the ability to overcome sunlight because of her feelings, and turning Tanjiro Kamado into a ghost that is not afraid of sunlight, these are uncontrollable factors.

Fang Yi hopes that under controllable costs, he can use the bloodline created by his [Bloody Alchemy] to create a demon that is not afraid of sunlight as bait, forcing the other party to take action and fight against Muzan Kibutsuji.

At the same time, although the bloodline of demons is rubbish, it also has one advantage, that is, the demon doctor Tamayo in the original work developed a drug to turn people into humans.

I believe that whether the reincarnation uses his own blood or the natives use this blood, it can be controlled through the human transformation drug.

However, there is no rush for these things, after all, Douma has not been killed yet.

The most urgent thing is to wait and find Nightmare, one of the Lower Moons. Through its dream, Fang Yi will definitely be able to return to [that day]. With the blessing of [Akaza's thank you gift], his [White Eyebrow Fist] may be able to break through to level 10.

Then, we have to go to the headquarters to get information about Liao Lin, who we might encounter when rescuing Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro, and at the same time, see who to shake and make a plan.

After going over the plan, Fang Yi nodded and was about to go find Rengoku Makijuro to get the thing he said he wanted to give him, and then persuade him.

The next moment, there was a knock on the door, and at the same time, there was also a prompt sound from the main god space.
-
[Optional task has been triggered]

[Searching for Rengoku Kyojuro]

[Quest Requirements: Find and bring back Rengoku Kyojuro]

[Quest Reward: Demon Slayer Corps Contribution, Information about [Breathing of the Sun]]

[Warning 1: Number s12891, the Lord God Space kindly reminds you that this mission has an uncertain difficulty level. To ensure your safety, please accept it with caution.]

[Warning 2: At this stage, the gathering of three or more Pillars will highly likely trigger an attack from powerful Ghost Faction members. Please allocate your support carefully and act separately if possible.]

[Hint 1: Obtaining the assistance of Rengoku Chijuro will effectively improve your search efficiency and quickly gain the trust of the mission target.] [Hint 2: Finding this character will greatly increase your faction recognition and significantly improve the "Pillar"'s favorability towards you.]
-
As usual, Ignore the risks and choose to accept it.

Fang Yi got up and opened the door, and found the person he was looking for - Rengoku Makijuro.

【Are you coming uninvited? 】

Fang Yi thought.
-
Rengoku Makijuro seems to be in a good mood, not as stern as usual, or looking like he's in an emo state of "NetEase Cloud Music, start up".

He didn't look worried as he just looked at the destroyed courtyard wall, counting on his fingers and calculating how much money and time it would cost to repair it.

Unlike when Fang Yi first met him, he was not holding a jar of wine, but a book.

This time, the former Flame Pillar did not play the staring game with Fang Yi. Instead, he sat down on the tatami and went straight to the point.

"I heard from Ganlu Temple that my son seems to..."

Fang Yi, on the other hand, was no longer in a hurry. He picked up the slightly cold tea and took a sip.

"This tea seems a little cold."

"Snacks are almost finished."

Rengoku Makijuro was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something. He put down the book, used breathing techniques, and ran out of the room like a gust of wind.

Without saying a word, he brought out a steaming kettle and a plate of snacks and continued the previous topic.

"My son"

"not dead."

[The main god space has just issued a task, and those who have passed the space certification are not dead.]

While drinking hot tea, Fang Yi gave an affirmative answer, which was also the answer the other party wanted to know most.

"Then I..."

"What can be done?"

There was no surprise on Rengoku Makijuro's face, but instead hesitancy.

Fang Yi put down the teacup and gave his answer.

"This matter involves the previously betrayed 'Pillar' and also involves an upper-rank demon."

"Based on the contents of this letter, I believe you should know that the identity of this ghost is probably not simple."

"And Upper Three, Upper Four, and Upper Five all died at my hands."

"So."

Rengoku Makijuro nodded. Neither of them mentioned the 'Upper Two', but they were obviously aware of the difficulty of this mission.

Fang Yi took a sip of hot tea and continued to explain his plan.

"My plan is to take Chijuro with me. He will help me find the target quickly."

Rengoku Makijuro did not object as usual, but asked seriously, "Do you think he is okay?" and then he said nothing more.

"Yes, but he still needs one more training before he can transform."

"Tonight, I will take him to kill a ghost."

"Not strong, one of the lower ranks"

"He will prove his growth by killing it with his own hands, and I will ensure his safety."

Rengoku Makijuro turned the words around in his mouth several times, but still did not say no.

Obviously, from the kidnapping of Rengoku Chijuro by the Reincarnationists, to the entry into [Breath of Flame], and the multiple Upper Moon battles, there was also the news that Rengoku Kyojuro was still alive.

These things have changed the originally stubborn Rengoku Makijuro.

"Okay, I believe you."

Fang Yi said nothing more and made his promise.

"I'll make sure your sons come back alive. Both of them."

Rengoku Makijuro put down the book and said his last words.

"Then please."

"This notebook records the deeds of my ancestors and the users of [Breath of the Sun]."

"I think it might be helpful for you to obtain the legendary sword skill [Breath of the Sun]."

"If you are a genius like you, you should be able to replicate this sword technique."

After saying that, he walked out.
-
Fang Yi picked up the book and flipped through it quickly. Sure enough, the prompt sound of the main god space sounded.

You have gained a great deal of information about Breathing of the Sun, and your understanding of it has deepened.

[Due to your talent, you have deduced some of the sword styles and breathing techniques of [Breath of the Sun]. Completely collecting [Breath of Thunder] will help increase your progress.]

[Getting more information about [Breath of the Sun] will help you acquire this skill.]

You should complete this mission and learn some relevant knowledge from Tanjiro Kamado, then you can make [Breathing of the Sun] appear on the panel.

[However, the rewards for this mission are a bit strange. They feel like they are all what I need, and they are even guiding me towards killing Muzan Kibutsuji.]

[The Lord God Realm is so generous and considerate. Could it be that my number starting with "s" is receiving any special treatment? This is something I haven't encountered in the Samsara Realm.]

Fang Yi compared his main god space number s12891 and his reincarnation space number g12781, and felt that the first letters might have different meanings.

"I remember that Zhuang Zhengyan's reincarnation space number also seemed to start with s. She left me the number and even gave me a way to contact her in the present world later."

"I should ask her sometime."

Fang Yi stood up and stretched his body. Now that all the rewards had been collected, it was time to set off.

He didn't want to waste another night here. Tomorrow morning, he had to set off to the Demon Slayer Corps base to get the haori.

So, before the night ends, go out and look for ghosts.

Fang Yi stood up, picked up the Sun Wheel Sword, walked out of the room, called out to Rengoku Chijuro who was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, and after receiving the confirmed rumors, he set off with full confidence.
-
Half an hour later, Fang Yi and Rengoku Chijuro boarded the Infinite Train, but they did not sense any ghost presence.

Fang Yi even took the initiative to ask the conductor, who was so nervous that he didn't ask for a ticket check, to check his ticket.

He took the ticket mixed with the ghost's blood and let the ghost use it to activate its blood ghost magic, making himself fall into the dream he wanted to enter.

But things did not happen as Fang Yi expected.

Until the train was halfway there, Fang Yi still didn't notice any ghostly presence.

"Strange, where did this ghost go? Many people in this car were hypnotized by it. They should be eating right now."

"But the passengers at this station that Chijuro and I were on were not hypnotized."

"But the ghost disappeared."

Fang Yi felt a little confused.

At the same time, Nightmare, one of the Lower Moons, was teleported into Muzan Kibutsuji's Infinite Castle just before he was about to eat.

　My computer motherboard is broken, and I'm too lazy to disassemble my phone to separate chapters. I'll be going to Fang Yi's martial arts gym tomorrow to reminisce. I've already sketched out the outline of the next world, and if nothing unexpected happens, it'll be Slash Aka.
