Copper Fairy Island.

Fang Qing returned to his cave without a sound and saw that the phantom was still sitting cross-legged.

He chuckled and snapped his fingers.

Snapped!

That ethereal green phantom vanished instantly.

Fang Qing sat on a futon, took out the "Ten Thousand Water Cauldron", and probed it with his divine sense. He saw that the strangely dressed spirit demon was bound tightly by iron chains formed from dragons and was suspended in mid-air.

Below, numerous streams converge, carrying various sealing and sealing abilities.

"In terms of sealing and imprisonment... the Myriad Water Cauldron is a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, even more effective than my 'Heaven-Swallowing Bottle'..."

"He returned shortly after leaving... The lame immortal didn't notice anything amiss and is still refining that True Spirit Puppet..."

Fang Qing pondered for a moment, then suddenly patted the corpse-refining bag at his waist.

A cloud of grayish-white corpse energy emerged, revealing the form of the Xuanhuo Demon Zombie.

He made a hand seal with one hand, and the Xuanhuo Demon Zombie let out a roar, spewing out wisps of emerald green flames that were sent into the Wanshui Cauldron.

Stab it!

The "Dead Bones and Azure Flames" landed on the spirit demon in its clothing, first appearing as a small point of emerald fire, then seemingly transforming into a torch.

But as the surrounding temperature continued to rise under the licking of the spirit fire, the spirit remained expressionless, its eyes darting left and right, seemingly unharmed.

"As expected... high-ranking demons are not easily eliminated."

Fang Qing had his own understanding of this, and pressed his chest.

raging!

An unnamed rage rose in his heart, invisible and colorless, yet it scorched the void, causing it to ripple faintly, and he too threw it into the Myriad Water Cauldron.

It is precisely the 'Ashes of Ignorance'!

Under the combined attack of the two spiritual flames, wisps of black energy emerged from the body of the demon in human clothing. This black energy meandered and gradually faded, revealing faces in the shadows.

If Fang Qing had seen the wanted poster, he would know that these were all cultivators who had devoured the true cores and nascent souls by spirit demons...

Zizi!

Time passed by, bit by bit.

With a thought, a second nascent soul appeared above his head and began to oversee the refining process.

The main body sat cross-legged, silently circulating the "Sea-Swallowing Technique" to restore its magical power and spirit.

Forty-nine days later...

Dongfuzhong.

Fang Qing opened his eyes and looked at the Wan Shui Ding.

Even ancient demons, burned day and night by two fourth-tier spiritual flames, should have turned to ashes...

When divine sense probed into the cauldron, it was seen that the dragon chains were still in place, suspending an elderly man with a refined appearance in mid-air.

Its Heavenly Court It faintly glowed with golden light, and its eyes were extremely bright, radiating a jade-tea color.

Under the golden and jade-brown radiance, a verdant flame and an invisible fire serpent coiled around it, yet they could no longer refine it in the slightest...

"It refined the essence of those devoured Nascent Souls and True Cores... and then returned this spirit demon to its initial state?"

"Although it lacks sentience, it seems even more difficult to destroy..."

Fang Qing gazed at the jade-brown light, a sense of awe washing over him: 'It doesn't seem like magic…it's more like…the supernatural power of the Qi Absorption Dao?'

"Hmm... I've never seen anything like it before. It's somewhat similar to the Great Sun Dao lineage, yet also seems... like the wondrous Taiyin Dao?"

"Is that Yin and Yang?"

"In the Dao of Qi Cultivation, the Golden Fire lineage is merely a prominent one; the Great Sun is the true master... while the Moon is utterly mysterious..."

"I don't understand Yin-Yang supernatural powers very well, but water and fire are the symbols of Yin and Yang... We should use water and fire as weapons to harmonize Yin and Yang..."

In an instant, Fang Qing recalled the process of combining the "Great Sun Purple Qi" and the "Great Yin Azure Qi" when he was refining pills to seek the primordial essence. Now that his cultivation was even higher, he suddenly had a great enlightenment:

Water and fire are the pivot, yin and yang are the omens. When Kan and Li are in balance, the true mechanism lies dormant. Returning to the origin, we attain the primordial state…

Splash!

Inside the Myriad Water Cauldron, the originally dark blue water boiled and transformed into dragons that rose into the sky, merging with the various spiritual waters collected by Fang Qing, such as the Three Thousand Weak Waters, the Ice Soul Cold Spring, and the Jade Flower Spirit Spring, to jointly refine the spirit demon!

Water and fire refine the spirit demon!

Splash!

With water and fire in balance, the jade-brown radiance that had enveloped the spirit gradually dissipated, revealing ancient and simple clothing...

For the first time, terror flickered in his eyes on that gaunt face, and his hands gradually became ethereal...

"Hmm...not bad, I'll proceed slowly..."

"And be careful not to damage the high-level components within its body..."

……

Fuqi Dao, from the ancient Shu region.

Xituo County.

Fang Daoling, dressed in a black robe, rode the radiance of the [Jishui] River and arrived at the edge of the county.

There was a river here. Fang Daoling stepped onto the river, letting the rushing water wash over his ankles, and stood silently watching, his mind filled with countless thoughts:

"After my death, the second wife had no seeds of spiritual cultivation..."

"The eldest son's Daoquan and Daoyuan are of average talent, and will likely stagnate in the late stage of Qi Cultivation... Only Fang Daoyun truly has some potential for Dao Foundation..."

"A Dao Foundation Spiritual Object... Even if the Four Directions Merchant Guild has news, I don't know how much spiritual resources I would need to exchange for it."

"My family had been in dire straits for many years, so I had to personally come out to find spiritual resources..."

He formed hand seals, casually gathered some spiritual energy from the river, and began searching for traces of spiritual objects.

Since escaping imprisonment, Fang Daoling has not had the leisure to devote himself to cultivation. Instead, he has been searching for spiritual objects to supplement his family's income.

This is also the normal practice of many Daoist foundation small family patriarchs.

Fang Daoling came here today because he heard that there were demons in this place that were good at swimming... He thought that they might have water-related spiritual resources, so he came here to search for them.

He spent most of the day collecting only one "Pure White Spirit Shell" and a few dozen strands of "Great River Spiritual Qi"... He didn't even see a shadow of a demon, but he had no regrets.

'This pure white spirit shell is a small but beneficial source of spiritual energy; I can give it to the younger generation when I get back…'

suddenly!

Fang Daoling's expression changed, and he looked into the distance.

Amidst billowing smoke, a monstrous steed galloped towards them, with a figure resembling a red cloud on its back.

Following Hongyun were several late-stage Qi Conversion cultivators, who were using various magical artifacts to chase after him.

clap clap!

The woman in red wielded an exquisitely crafted long whip, each strike accompanied by sparks. With a sudden lash, she repelled numerous pursuers and arrived at the riverbank.

"Stepping on Clouds!"

With a loud shout, "Chasing the Wind and Treading the Clouds Steed!" its snow-white hooves spread out, and it trod across the river as if walking on flat ground, crossing it with incredible speed. Then she saw Fang Daoling.

Upon seeing a young cultivator whose aura was unfathomable, Hu Yunshu felt a chill run down his spine and shouted, "Who are you? Are you here to take me too?"

"snort!"

Fang Daoling snorted coldly, his Dao Foundation aura surging forth, causing the 'Chasing Wind and Treading Cloud Steed' to buckle and fall to its knees, throwing Hu Yunshu off the horse.

She was dressed in a red dress, and after falling to the ground in a disheveled state, she turned around and knelt down: "This humble woman was blind and disturbed the arrival of the Dao Foundation Master, please forgive me..."

Although Dao Foundation cultivators are nothing to Fang Qing, in the world of Qi Cultivation, Qi Cultivators can act arrogantly and domineeringly in front of mortals.

There is an insurmountable chasm between the great cultivation of the Dao foundation and the practice of Qi absorption!

Even for many cultivators, merely absorbing qi doesn't make one a cultivator; only by forging a foundation for the Dao can one be considered to have attained some profound understanding!

This demonstrates the prestige of Dao Foundation cultivators!

Not only Hu Yunshu, but also the several cultivators who had been chasing her caught up and knelt down to the side, not daring to be arrogant in the slightest.

Even if they are also disciples of the Dao Foundation forces, if they are killed by Fang Daoling, their own ancestors may not necessarily avenge them!

"Where are you from? What's going on?"

Fang Daoling frowned. He had come out to seek opportunities, but encountered such a distressing situation, which put him in a bad mood.

"Respectfully informing you, senior, I am Hu Yunshu, a member of the Hu family of Black Tea Mountain!"

A hint of bitterness appeared on Hu Yunshu's bright face.

"Black Tea Mountain, the Hu family?"

Fang Daoling was startled: "The newly promoted Purple Mansion Immortal Clan?"

His legs felt weak, and he instinctively wanted to run.

The newly ascended Hu family of the Purple Mansion in Shu is a major event that has been spreading in Xituo County recently, and Fang Daoling has naturally heard about it as well.

"Damn it... who is so ruthless? Daring to hunt down a descendant of the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan? Did I stumble upon some karma that would lead to the annihilation of my entire clan without even checking the immortal calendar before leaving home?"

"Respectfully requesting your guidance, Senior..."

The pursuing cultivators immediately knelt down and said, "The Hu family no longer exists... Hu Yanzhou, the true master of the Hu family, was taken away by a master from the secret realm during the Hu family's celebration ceremony. It is said that he is going to Dazang Temple for arduous cultivation... Before leaving, he said that all karmic ties with the Hu family were severed and all grudges were settled..."

"I haven't heard of that before; it seems to have happened in the last few days..."

Fang Daoling let out a long breath.

If it's still within the scope of Daoji, he still has confidence in his own family.

After all, this wasn't even considered a major impact; it was just a minor incident.

"And who are you?"

He looked at the few cultivators who had submitted.

"We are cultivators from the Lu and Ye families... The Hu family, relying on their Purple Mansion Ancestor, not only broke off the engagement but also caused our two families heavy losses..."

Although some wanted to keep it a secret, the few cultivators who had accepted the advice still spilled the beans.

"This verbal skill is quite useful..."

'While it's impossible to command a cultivator who has submitted, the possibility of persuasion has greatly increased...'

Fang Daoling had no idea that his talent was already much weaker compared to that of a certain ancestor.

However, after clarifying the cause and effect, he became conflicted.

"The Hidden Treasury, the Hidden Treasury... truly terrifying! That was a Purple Mansion True Person, living to be five hundred years old... who could be converted so easily... Moyun Cliff didn't dare utter a single word!"

Daizo-ji Temple…

Fang Daoling then looked at the few kneeling, submissive cultivators, his eyes gradually filled with murderous intent.

"Since I'm already convinced anyway, I'll just kill him casually, take the storage bag... and be done with it."

Hu Yunshu's delicate body trembled. She untied the storage bag at her waist and offered it with both hands: "Senior... all my spiritual resources are here, including a foundation-building spiritual item. These killers have been chasing me for this item... Please save my life, Senior. I am willing to serve you as a servant to repay your great kindness..."

"To be a slave or a maid?"

Fang Daoling's heart skipped a beat: "There are still too few high-level cultivators in the family. I have the advantage of eloquence, and this woman cannot lie. However, offending two Dao Foundation families outside of Xituo County should be enough to deal with her by making her hide her identity..."

He glanced again at the few cultivators who were chasing Hu Yunshu, his eyes narrowed slightly, and with a flick of his sleeve, the water light transformed into swords, spears, and halberds, crashing down...
