Gou Dao Changsheng: Starting from the Reincarnation of a Demon Cultivator

Chapter 866 Collecting Spiritual Herbs and Demanding Spiritual Items

The storage bag was opened, and a burst of spiritual light surged out. The faint fragrance of medicine wafted through the air, and the phantom images of various spiritual herbs, such as orchids, precious trees, astragalus, and scrophularia, appeared.

Fang Yi looked at the spiritual herbs in the storage bag and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Tier 3 Superior Grade Wood Palm Seed, Tier 3 Mid-Grade Green Leaf Branch, Tier 3 Mid-Grade Blood Marrow Flower, Tier 3 Low-Grade Green Ridge Vine, Tier 3 Low-Grade Five-Colored Rose"

Jade boxes were placed one after another on the table, their fragrance of medicine nourishing the spirit and body.
“Spiritual vines, precious herbs, and various spiritual fruits.” Fang Yi looked at Yin Yue and said in a low voice, “What is the meaning of paying such a price, fellow Daoist?”

"Yu Ji is in seclusion to cultivate immortality, and it is impossible for her to emerge from seclusion. I hope you can understand."

Despite the pain, Yin Yue extended her slender fingers and pushed the ten jade boxes in front of Fang Yi.

One top-grade third-rank spiritual herb, two mid-grade third-rank spiritual herbs, and seven low-grade third-rank spiritual herbs. Having paid such a high price, she had only one mind: to renege on her promise to Tian Quezi to let Fang Yi seek Yu Ji.

If it weren't for Chi Mei's attainment of the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm and Fang Yi's status as the sect leader of Xuan Yang Mountain, she would never have paid such a high price.

With a Nascent Soul True Monarch as his backer, Fang Yi is no longer the same person who could be easily manipulated.

Fang Yi glanced at the medicinal herbs without stopping, chuckled, and pushed the jade box back.

"not enough!"

"Not enough?" Yin Yue frowned slightly, her expression growing cold. "Sect Leader Fang Yi, the Crimson-Eyebrowed Daoist, has attained the Nascent Soul stage, setting a precedent in the Great Yun Dynasty for the past thousand years."

But he wasn't the only Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Ten third-tier spiritual herbs, including several top-grade third-tier treasures. Don't push your luck and ask for an exorbitant price."

"Compared to Jianzi of Suspended Sword Mountain and True Person Li of Medicine King Valley, you have no advantage whatsoever."

Under his cold gaze, Fang Yi calmly took out a jade slip from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Yin Yue.

He flicked his sleeve, collected the medicinal herbs from the jade table, and then spoke.

"Once I have all the necessary medicinal herbs listed in this jade slip, I will depart tomorrow, and Uncle-Master Tianque's words will be dropped."

“Master Fang has come well prepared.” Yin Yue picked up the jade slip, probed it with her divine sense, and after a while, she spoke.

"Small Mystic Ointment, Blood Essence Pearl, Azure Spirit Liquid"
Fellow Daoist Fang is practicing a body-refining method to replenish his essence and lay a solid foundation for future cultivation advancement.”

"However, the price falls on me. What a clever scheme!"

The Hehuan Sect is a separate lineage outside the Su Nu Sect. Her cultivation has reached the seventh level of the Core Formation stage, and she naturally replenishes the essence of a Core Formation True Person. What she is referring to is clear to everyone.

A cultivator with a mid-grade spiritual root, only at the fifth level of Core Formation, doesn't strive for further cultivation. Instead, like a Grandmaster who has reached the peak of Core Formation, he seeks the path to Nascent Soul.
'ridiculous!'

Yin Yue lowered her opinion of Fang Yi by three points. "You're an ambitious but unrealistic person. You only became the head of the Nascent Soul Sect because Xuan Yang Mountain lacked sufficient resources."

'Such a cultivator must not be included in the pool of potential partners for Jade Consort, lest he use his Nascent Soul True Monarch backing him to cause trouble and ultimately ruin Jade Consort's plans.'

"it is good!"

Yin Yue put away the jade slip and nodded in agreement.

"I have Blood Essence Pearls in stock."

Both Xiao Xuan Ointment and Qing Ling Liquid are rare spiritual items that can refine the body and nourish the spiritual bones. They require a fourth-order spiritual vein to be nurtured. Da Yun has already disappeared without a trace.

I will send a message to the Four Seas Merchants Association to prepare an urgent dispatch to Dayun, but even with the fastest horse, it will take two months for the entire journey to take place.”

"The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce?" Fang Yi's dark eyes lit up slightly, not expecting such an unexpected gain.

Yin Yue's wealth is so immense that she can persuade the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce to send cultivators to escort the spiritual item from afar.

The Sihai Chamber of Commerce is quite well-known in Qiongzhou, and it is rumored that it has some connection with Yue Kun, a master cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

They make a living by welcoming and seeing off customers, buying low and selling high.

Unfortunately, Dayun was barren, and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce only had a few branches in Dayu.

"It's just a small matter to obtain the Order of One Region and Four Seas; it's not worth mentioning." Yin Yue's lips curled into a smug smile.

Even a Grand Master cannot obtain the Order of the Four Seas if their wealth is insufficient.

If she hadn't accumulated enough wealth to prepare a dowry for Yu Ji to impress the Nascent Soul seed, how could she have attracted the attention of the Grand Masters of Xuanjian Mountain and Medicine King Valley?
Beauty?

Among the great sects of the Nascent Soul stage, there are beauties of all shapes and sizes, with stunning looks that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and the moon hide and flowers blush. What kind of beauties and cauldrons cannot be found?

Those who run prostitutes in the market all know that beauty alone will only bring disaster and has no value whatsoever.
Yin Yue took out a piece of azure jade from her sleeve. The Four Seas Token emitted spiritual light on its own, and the sound of the tides rising and falling was slow.

"I would be grateful if Sect Leader Yin Yue could prepare two spiritual items for me," Fang Yi said with a composed demeanor.

But the meaning of the words is...
"Two portions?!" Yin Yue frowned, a hint of murderous intent appearing between her brows.

Fang Yi, don't go too far.
Even if I grant you permission to pursue Yu Ji, you are no match for Jianzi of Xuanjian Mountain or Zhenren of Yaowang Valley.

"Instead of making exorbitant demands, let's each take a step back." Fang Yi, dressed in a green robe and wearing a lotus crown, extended his slender, jade-like fingers, lifted the jade wine pot, and tilted it into the jade cup.

The crystal-clear wine fell, splashing water, and its rich aroma flowed out.

He remained silent, pouring and drinking by himself, seemingly not someone who would exchange spiritual objects.

"."

"."

The only sounds in the main hall were the soft strains of silk and bamboo instruments, and the beautiful women sang and danced gracefully, their waists swaying like water snakes.

Seeing Fang Yi smile without saying a word, Yin Yue picked up a piece of spirit deer meat and put it in her mouth to savor it, her face turning ashen.

Her palm pulsed with magical power, intending to teach Fang Yi a lesson and make him suffer in the Hehuan Sect's headquarters.

But I forced myself to endure it...

The Su Nu Sect is far away in Dayu, while the Crimson Eyebrow True Lord is in Dayun. It only takes a few days for a Nascent Soul True Lord to travel from Xuan Yang Mountain to the He Huan Sect...

That's enough!
As long as we can resolve this huge problem with Fang Yi, every extra spiritual item we offer is a bonus.

Yin Yue smiled and laughed, a wisp of spiritual light rising from her fingertip was swallowed by the Four Seas Token.

"Yan!"

A long, melodious chant resounded, and a blue whale leaped out, transforming into a blur as it fled towards the Great Yu.

"Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Yin Yue," Fang Yi said, expressing his gratitude.

Half a day later, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and the music ended and the people dispersed.

As the melodious sounds of string and wind instruments gradually faded into the distance, Yin Yue, draped in a robe sprinkled with gold and hibiscus, walked lightly along the jade-paved path, slowly heading towards the depths of the silent mountain gate.

Lean less.

She paused before a courtyard with walls of white jade, an exterior of glazed tiles, and surrounded by a gilded aura.

"Crack!"

The heavy vermilion gate opened, revealing the beautiful and charming Yu Jizi, dressed in a rainbow-colored feather robe, sitting on a large blue stone beside the spiritual spring.

"Master?" She turned and smiled, the silvery moonlight taking on a touch of ethereal beauty. "How should the matter of Xuan Yang Mountain be handled? Should this disciple intervene?"

Looking at her disciple, whose beauty was so captivating that even fish could not swim and geese could not compete with her, Yin Yue's eyes revealed a look of satisfaction.

His foundation, magical power, elixir quality, and appearance were all flawless.

A beam of light descended, and the green vines underground rose up, transforming into a rocking chair. Yin Yue leaned back lazily on it, letting out a comfortable groan.

"It's finally all sorted out. Who would have thought that a Nascent Soul True Monarch could emerge from Xuan Yang Mountain in this barren land of Dayun?"
To deal with this matter, thirty percent of my herb garden has been emptied.” Yin Yue’s face was full of pain.

"If that's not the case, having another top-tier third-grade medical master pursue you would further increase your value in the eyes of Ren Junjianzi and Li Zhenren."

"Yu Ji, these two are great masters carefully selected by your master. Once they reach the peak of Core Formation, they will become the Nascent Soul seeds of their respective sects."

Your condensed golden core is of excellent quality, but due to the limitations of your cultivation method, you will inevitably need a Daoist partner.

"."

Yu Jizi nodded repeatedly with a beaming smile, but a hint of impatience flickered in her eyes.

In the small courtyard, the words of the Venerable Master echoed, and outside the courtyard, beneath an ancient tree, a blurry figure stepped out.

"This Jade Maiden is no ordinary person, judging from what I've seen so far. Regardless of her cultivation level, Yin Yue is no match for her in terms of intelligence."

Fang Yi's eyes narrowed slightly as he recalled being bound but not having his spirit spider puppet mentioned, and he seemed lost in thought.

"Are you unwilling to accept your fate?"
Why choose a rugged path over the main road? What secret lies behind this decision?

An hour later.

The vermilion gate closed, and Yin Yue stepped out slowly, her mind racing.

Without the protection of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, one can only obtain a Nascent Soul Spiritual Object by chance, which is comparable to the Child of Destiny.

Otherwise, even for Yu Jizi, reaching the peak of Core Formation would be the limit.

"This is the safest way to proceed, so let's not rush." ​​Watching the graceful figure depart, a fleeting shadow swept past and disappeared into the courtyard.

　I'll post one chapter first. I'm too sleepy, going to bed now. Goodnight.
　　I'll try to write another chapter before 15 PM tomorrow.
