Mortal: I have a gathering technique

Chapter 40 Reunion with Xin Ruyin

Hundreds of miles away from the Ling Shi Mine in the canyon, inside a temporarily opened cave.

Fang Qing raised his hand and cast a gathering spell on the corpse of the Blood Jade Spider:

[Ability—Collect! 】

A golden light appeared—a blood-red bead the size of a thumb fell into Fang Qing's hand, and information about the bead automatically surfaced in his mind.

It really is the [Berserk] talent ability!

Fang Qing looked completely at ease.

The so-called berserk state is a burst of secret techniques similar to a cultivator's "sacrifice" or "disintegration".

When the Blood Jade Spider goes berserk, its body turns from white to red and emits a blood-red light, hence the name "Blood Jade".

A few days ago, after leaving the spirit stone mine in the canyon, Fang Qing rushed here and temporarily opened up a cave dwelling.

In recent days, he has been conducting collection experiments using the corpses of Blood Jade Spiders.

However, neither the Blood Jade Spider's ability to spin silk, its immunity to cold flames, nor its ability to suppress insects could be successfully used to collect it.

Therefore, it is clear that not all of a demonic beast's innate abilities can be successfully acquired; only those divine powers rooted in its bloodline have a chance of being successfully acquired.

Fang Qing toyed with the blood-red bead, lost in thought.

Furthermore, this [Berserk] ability originates from demonic beasts, and whether using it on a cultivator would have side effects is still unknown. I'd better have someone test it on before using it.

Having made a plan in mind, Fang Qing put away the Blood Jade Spider and the Blood-Red Bead respectively.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the Great Teleportation Order and the Heaven-Mending Pill.

He had already collected the method for crafting the Great Teleportation Token.

Fang Qing originally thought that the difficulty in making the Great Teleportation Token lay in the materials, but after collecting them, he learned that the key was the "teleportation runes" engraved inside the token.

As for the refining materials, any piece of thousand-year-old spirit wood will suffice.

For Fang Qing, the thousand-year-old spirit wood was readily available.

On the contrary, Fang Qing failed to obtain the formula for the Heaven-Mending Pill, which was truly a pity.

With a sigh, Fang Qing put away the array flags he had temporarily set up, released the Divine Wind Boat, and headed north towards the Yuanwu Kingdom.

Now that we have the teleportation array, the next step is to repair the damaged part.

This is a time-consuming and technical task.

In the original story, it took Xin Ruyin several months to successfully repair the damage six years later, so Fang Qing was unwilling to waste that time.

Naturally, the thought of the tool person, Xinruyin, came to mind.

He left a note asking Xin Ruyin to find him in Huangfeng Valley, but she never came.

Judging by the time, this girl's Dragon Roar Body is about to flare up again, and I wonder what her current situation is.

a few days later.

West of Jinma City, in front of Xiaozhushan Mountain.

A light white mist shrouded the small hill, indicating that Xin Ruyin still lived in seclusion there.

Fang Qing took out a communication talisman from his storage bag, whispered a few words, and casually tossed it out. The talisman hissed and turned into a wisp of fire, disappearing into the mist.

Before long, the clouds dispersed, and a layer of blue light suddenly appeared.

Behind the light screen, Xin Ruyin stood on a green bamboo branch, her bright, watery eyes looking at Fang Qing.

At a glance, she recognized the murderer who had captured her.

"It's you!"

"What are you doing here again?"

Xin Ruyin frowned, staring at Fang Qing with a wary expression.

Although Fang Qing did not violate her initially, and even removed the excess yang energy from her body, the way he directly knocked her unconscious was something she could not accept.

Fang Qing looked at Xin Ruyin through the light screen. Compared to six or seven years ago, the girl had matured a lot, and her scholarly air was much stronger.

As expected, his cultivation in array formations has also become more profound.

"Naturally, I've come to see how far the young lady's Dragon Roar Physique has progressed."

Fang Qing replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin's pretty face immediately changed.

After waking up that year, she began to research information about the "Dragon Roar Physique" and now she is fully aware of the defects of this physique.

They even found a folk remedy that has a very high chance of curing the Dragon Roar Body.

However, that folk remedy requires the use of a thousand-year-old rare herb.

She searched for years without any leads, and despair gradually crept into her heart.

Because the yang energy in her body had accumulated to its limit, her life was in danger at any moment.

In fact, Fang Qing's message from back then has surfaced in her mind several times recently.

Thinking of this, Xin Ruyin's expression became extremely complicated.

She bit her lip and tentatively asked, "Can you cure my Dragon Roar Body?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Qing shook his head and said truthfully, "I cannot completely cure your Dragon Roar Physique at the moment. I can only temporarily remove the excess Yang energy and delay the onset of the Dragon Roar Physique."

At this point, he paused for a moment, then continued, "To tell you the truth, to completely cure your Dragon Roar Body, you need a top-tier Yin-cold spiritual object with the ability to harmonize Yin and Yang, such as the innate cold essence of a level ten Ice Phoenix—"

Level 10 Ice Phoenix?

Xin Ruyin's eyes widened, her pretty face blank. She suspected that Fang Qing was deliberately exaggerating the flaws of the Dragon Roar Physique to mislead her.

Do these rare and exotic beasts really exist in the cultivation world?

Fang Qing could tell from Xin Ruyin's expression that she didn't believe him, so he chuckled and said, "Have you heard of the cultivation world of the Great Jin? In the depths of the icy sea to the north of the Great Jin, there is a level ten ice phoenix."

Great Jin?

Another unfamiliar term.

Xin Ruyin frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and instead of asking where the Great Jin was or paying attention to the Ice Phoenix, she asked, "Isn't there any other treatment?"

In Xin Ruyin's view, regardless of whether the Ice Phoenix that Fang Qing mentioned actually exists, its level ten strength is beyond her reach.

As for Fang Qing, it wasn't that she looked down on him. A level 10 demon beast was equivalent to a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. Even if Fang Qing could cultivate to that level in the future, she would probably be reduced to dust by then.

It's too far away; there's no point in considering it.

"Personally, I haven't heard of any other treatment methods yet."

Fang Qing responded in a nonchalant tone.

Xin Ruyin thought for a moment, then took out a jade slip from her storage bag and tossed it to Fang Qing.

He then said, "Take a look at the method in the jade slip; is it feasible?"

As she spoke, she sent a beam of spiritual light toward the jade slip.

The jade slip, enveloped in a bluish halo, passed through the array's light barrier without hindrance and flew to Fang Qing.

Fang Qing casually took it and probed it with his divine sense.

After a moment, he smiled and shook his head: "The thousand-year-old spiritual herb can at most alleviate the symptoms, but it can't cure the root cause."

The text in the jade slip is exactly the method that Xin Ruyin found in ancient books in the original work.

Seeing that Xin Ruyin was skeptical, Fang Qing casually said, "If you don't believe me, I have a thousand-year-old spiritual herb in my hand. You can try it and see if it's true or not."

Upon hearing that Fang Qing possessed the thousand-year-old spiritual herb she had been searching for, Xin Ruyin's eyes widened, and her whole body trembled: "You really have a thousand-year-old spiritual herb?"

"Are you willing to give it to me?"

Xin Ruyin stared directly at Fang Qing, hardly believing her ears.
