Fangxian Heretical Path

Chapter 259 Foundation Building Talisman, Flesh and Blood Cottage, Old Friends

Fang Shu was the first to pick up his thousand-year-old spiritual herb, resealed it properly, and put it into his storage bag.

He then used his magic to remove the talisman from Luan Tong'er's corpse from a distance.

After carefully checking it several times, he immediately showed a look of surprise.

This object was clearly a talisman, not a spell. Its material was a mixture of gold and jade, somewhat similar to the jade burial suit worn by kings and nobles in the mortal world.

Fang Shu suppressed his joy and carefully channeled his divine sense and true energy into it, while using the Dao talisman to constantly monitor the object and check for any hidden tricks inside.

After a short while, he breathed a sigh of relief: "This thing is a talisman, with complete internal restrictions and a single function. Unlike a zombie puppet, it doesn't have many places to be tampered with, so there should be nothing unusual about it."

He then roughly refined the item and put it around his neck.

Although this object is only the size of a palm and cannot even cover half of his chest, its power is considerable; it is clearly a genuine Seven Tribulation Foundation Establishment talisman.

Even in the hands of a Foundation Establishment Immortal, this armored horse would be considered a rare and precious item.

As for its function, it is similar to how the phoenix boy blocked the attack of the yellow nail. The user only needs to wear this item to receive the protection of the armored horse.

Without the need for divine intervention, once a crisis arises, chains will automatically emerge from the armor to resist various external spells.

If actively activated, it will manifest around the immortal, transforming into a horse-shaped armor. At that time, it will not only protect the immortal, but also directly carry the immortal, charging at the thieves with the force of ten thousand galloping horses, trampling them to death!
Upon realizing this, Fang Shu's face immediately showed a look of relief:
"Fortunately, we're in this secret realm, so that Luan Tong'er didn't dare to use this item's wonderful properties on her own. Otherwise, she might have really turned the tables on us."

However, now that the outcome is decided, this excellent protective item belongs to the other side!

Having received this item, Fang Shu didn't feel any heartache when he took off his already torn wedding robe.

Being able to exchange a damaged magic weapon below the Foundation Establishment stage for a genuine Foundation Establishment talisman is an incredibly profitable deal.

With this item protecting him, Fang Shu suddenly felt that he might be able to act like Luan Tong'er and run rampant in the secret realm.

And the gains this time are not limited to that.

Fang Shu carefully put away the armor and ceremonial robe, then turned to look at the objects charred by the pink flames around him, as well as the pink flames themselves.

With a whoosh, he shoved aside the spirit stones that hadn't yet cracked from the heat, scattering them all around.

When he saw that the pink flame could continue to burn as long as the object it was attached to still had spiritual energy, he immediately used his magic to cut the spirit stones one by one, thus saving a lot of spirit stones.

Even though he lost most of his spirit stones, he still gained as many as two thousand taels!

To his surprise, four ounces of these spirit stones were of exceptional quality, far exceeding that of low-grade stones.

After carefully examining them, he confirmed that the four ounces of spirit stones were indeed of medium quality.

Fang Shu caressed the four ounces of spirit stone, and for a moment he couldn't put it down.

It should be noted that for Qi Refining Immortals, mid-grade spirit stones are extremely rare and precious.

Whether in the floating market or the temple of the five stomachs, spirit stones of this quality can only be purchased or exchanged by Foundation Establishment immortals unless they are dug up by themselves.

This is clearly the result of Foundation Establishment Immortals from various regions consciously controlling this object.

Furthermore, according to the Dragon Whale Nourishing Method, if a Qi Refining Immortal wants to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the spiritual energy from the spirit stones used during the Foundation Establishment process must be of medium grade. Otherwise, the spiritual energy produced by low-grade spirit stones is not very pure and may weaken the probability of the Immortal breaking through.

"It seems that the Immortal Chuyang truly dotes on Luan Tong'er," Fang Shu thought to himself.

Without a doubt, these few taels of mid-grade spirit stones must have been a gift from Immortal Chuyang to make it easier for the young boy to use his magical fire and talismans in the secret realm.

Just now, Fang Shu only tried to draw a trace from a mid-grade spirit stone, and he felt as if his whole body was cheering. His true energy was also more active than ever before, and some of the spiritual poison accumulated in his body was expelled.

In an instant, greed arose in both his mind and body, and he wanted to refine the mid-grade spirit stone in his hand directly.

Good things should be kept in reserve for unforeseen circumstances.

Fang Shu suppressed his physical and mental greed and continued to rummage through the pink items scattered on the ground.

He found pieces of ore and bone, carefully examined them, and then picked them out and put them into his pocket.

Unfortunately, even after searching through all the ashes on the ground, he could not find any more valuable treasures.

Fang Shu's gaze then fell once again on the pink flames.

He took out a bottle made of gold and iron, and let it slowly fly out, hovering above the pink flames. Then he cast a spell to drive the surrounding pink flames to spread into the bottle.

But after a few breaths, with a crack, the metal bottle shattered on the spot and was burned.

Fang Shu did not give up and took out several more bottles, trying them one by one.

After half a cup of tea.

Using a sixth-level Qi-suppressing talisman and several Gu worms as carriers, he successfully captured a small pink flame into the bottle and made it into an object similar to a tinderbox in the mortal world. He then carefully put it into a spare storage bag.

After carefully putting the item away, Fang Shu's gaze lingered on it with amusement:
"This seductive fire that steals yang energy burns whenever it encounters spiritual energy, and cannot be extinguished by splashing water. It will only stop after the spiritual energy has been burned away. It is truly a remarkable technique!"
Moreover, when they encountered an enemy later, they used it on the enemy, which conveniently allowed them to dispel the filth surrounding the murder of Luan Tong'er.

Although Fang Shu had already dealt with the matter of Luan Tong'er cleanly, the methods of Foundation Establishment Immortals are unpredictable, and it's hard to guarantee that Chu Yang Earth Immortal wouldn't have some tricks up his sleeve to find some clues.

Fang Shu figured that giving the other party a more obvious target might help him hide himself better.

After much deliberation, he thought to himself, "However, when using this item, I must conceal my attire to avoid exposing myself instead."

Having sorted everything out, he didn't hesitate any longer and immediately left the spot. After circling around a few times, he headed straight for the location of the Blood Lake that the outer disciples had revealed.

It is said that Fang Shu was a pseudo-spiritual root. Although pseudo-spiritual roots can also achieve foundation building, their cultivation efficiency and the probability of foundation building are far inferior to those of true spiritual roots.

If there really is such a miraculous object in the secret realm that can cleanse one's bones and elevate one's spiritual roots, then he absolutely cannot miss it!
………………

at the same time.

Just in the same direction Fang Shu was heading towards the Blood Lake, but at a great distance, several beams of spiritual light intertwined and clashed, accompanied by the booming of spells.

Boom boom boom!
There was also a sound of drums that resounded within a radius of a thousand feet. Anyone who heard the drums would feel their blood boil and their mind become uneasy.

Those who were near the sound of the drums were even more embarrassed. Their faces were red, their blood was surging, and even their heartbeats were trembling.

A mocking voice rang out: "Little brother, you may be small, but you've got quite the assets."

"You filthy bitch from the flesh-and-flesh nunnery, don't think that just because you have more people, I, Dai, can't do anything to you!" A fairy in the shape of a child was staring at the several graceful figures in front of him with bloodshot eyes.

If Fang Shu were here, he would recognize at a glance that this boy was an acquaintance of his—Dai Jintong.

And not only was Dai Jintong an acquaintance of his, but the beautiful woman beating the drum, along with the two women supporting her, were also all acquaintances of his.

The former is Shen Yin, the sixth-level female immortal who stopped him and Bai Yangyang on that dragon boat, while the latter is Du Yu'er and Xiao Lili from the Dugu Pavilion.

In addition, there were actually third parties present, and quite a few of them, all dressed in Taoist robes, including the Black Rat and Fang Lu.

Dai Jintong looked at the nun from the Pirou Nunnery with apprehension. His face contorted with rage, he gritted his teeth and suddenly hurled the jade box he was holding at the Five Stomachs Temple group.

"A thousand-year-old elixir! Catch it quickly!" The group from the Five Stomachs Temple all showed surprise and delight.

Many of them, panting heavily, immediately rushed forward to seize the thousand-year-old elixir. However, a few, such as Fang Lu, wisely stepped back half a step, keeping a safe distance from the elixir.

The next moment, screams of agony rang out.

Those disciples of the Five Internal Organs Temple who were vying for the elixir suddenly started bleeding from all seven orifices, their heart meridians shattered.

Even the black rat's expression suddenly changed drastically as he realized that he, a celestial being who had just entered the sixth tribulation, was no match for that flesh-and-flesh nun.

The magical artifact in the opponent's hand is most likely a Foundation Establishment artifact!

"Damn it, how come these guys are all carrying such valuable treasures one after another?" Black Rat grumbled inwardly.

As Dai Jintong watched the chaotic scene, he laughed, blood dripping from his lips.
"Shen Yin, I will remember you! You dared to take advantage of my unpreparedness and steal my elixir today. Be careful, you will suffer retribution in the future."

After uttering those words, Dai Jintong dared not linger any longer. He immediately transformed into a golden ray of light and fled into the distance.

This time, he first fought a ferocious beast while gathering herbs, then battled a group of heroes, and without any help, he was ambushed by that flesh-wearing nun.

He really didn't have much internal energy left. If he hesitated any longer, he might really be in deep trouble.

It would be best for the gecko to sever its tail and retreat quickly!
This is the place called Pirouan.

After seeing Dai Jintong flee, a voice sounded beside Shen Yin:

"Senior sister, should we give chase?"

Shen Yin looked at Dai Jintong with a mocking expression, paused, and replied, "If he ran away, so be it. Just leave the things behind."

Then the female immortal lightly patted the leather drum at her waist, smiled, and looked at the people in the Five Internal Organs Temple beside her, saying:

"Fellow Daoists of the Five Organs, do you also wish to compete with me for the spiritual medicine?"

When Black Rat and the others saw that Shen Yin had completely freed her hands, they all realized that something was wrong.

"No, no!" "It's a misunderstanding!"

A series of shouts rang out.

With a whoosh, many of the hungry disciples on the scene immediately scattered like monkeys and began to flee for their lives.

But suddenly, a dull drumbeat sounded, and they all felt as if their legs were stuck in mud, making it difficult to lift them, and even the internal energy in their bodies was stagnant.

"Misunderstanding? Then I'm sorry, I also misunderstood that you all wanted to steal my elixir and hurt my disciples at the Skin and Flesh Nunnery."

Shen Yin chuckled softly: "Let's kill one wave first, then we'll talk about the rest."

"Yes, Senior Sister."

Du Yu'er and Xiao Lili stood to the side, cleverly bowing and accepting the order.

Then Shen Yin sat cross-legged to the side, while the two of them stepped forward and began to take the opportunity to kill those disciples of the Five Internal Organs Temple.

When the two women saw Fang Lu clutching a talisman tightly, their expressions changed slightly, and they secretly exchanged glances, clearly recognizing him.

However, neither Du Yu'er nor Xiao Lili showed anything. They simply avoided Fang Lu and instead attacked and killed the other disciples of the Five Internal Organs Temple.

They all knew that Shen Yin's main purpose this time was to intimidate the group from Wuzangmiao, not to kill everyone present. Therefore, they did not send a telepathic message to Fang Lu, asking him to seize the opportunity to escape quickly.

To avoid any mishap, Fang Lu might escape, which would only provoke Shen Yin to personally intervene and kill him.

"Spare me! My Five Internal Organs Temple and the Flesh Temple are old friends!"

"Brother Black Rat, please save us!"

Among the crowd, Black Rat abandoned all the disciples of the Five Internal Organs Temple without looking back and fled alone.

Although this group of disciples from the Five Stomachs Temple was gathered by Black Rat, the reason he gathered so many people was to use them as helpers.

Now that we have encountered a formidable enemy who is ruthless, it is the perfect time to use the lives of these outer disciples to restrain him.

As the black rat set off, Shen Yin, who was sitting cross-legged, opened her eyes, glanced at it, and did not choose to chase after it.

Immediately afterward, when another disciple of the Five Internal Organs Temple escaped and avoided the encirclement and attack of Du Yu'er and Xiao Lili, Shen Yin personally took action, using the sound of drums from a distance to directly sever the opponent's heart meridian.

A short while later.

The group from the Five Stomachs Temple suffered heavy casualties, and each of them was terrified.

On the other side, Black Rat had been on his own for a long time and had long since escaped the battlefield.

But after confirming that there were no pursuers behind him, he narrowed his eyes, suddenly changed direction, and ran in the direction where Dai Jintong had fled.

Although we failed to obtain the millennium-old elixir and lost a group of fellow disciples, isn't there another benefit we can take advantage of right now?!
One in front of the other.

Dai Jintong and Black Rat were heading towards the edge of the secret realm, their backs to the Blood Lake.

The former sought a safe haven on the edge of the secret realm to recuperate properly. The latter, however, had its sights set on the former, like a hyena relentlessly biting at its rear.

A few days later, Dai Jintong was actually touched by the black rat and bitten hard.

This fellow was recuperating when he was suddenly attacked by the black rat. Startled, his injuries worsened, and he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
