Divine Treasure, Second Life
The person inside the room opened their eyes and looked at them.
The two couldn't help but smile when they met.
The person had a face exactly like Fang Shu's. Or rather, this person was Fang Shu's true form.
Fang Shu's main body gently waved his hand, and the External Incarnation that had returned transformed into a streak of crimson-gold light, flying to his side and circling around him like a dragon or snake.
He examined the Scarlet True Flying Centipede in his hand and muttered to himself, "Perfect. With the remaining time, I can hurry up and completely refine this clone."
It turns out that the "Fang Shu" who had just entered the Profound Teaching sect with the people from the Heavenly Spirit Treasure Pavilion was merely his Avatar.
Not only was the Profound Teaching who entered the Xuan Sect External Incarnation of his, but the "Fang Shu" who participated in the auction was also just External Incarnation of his.
Having stayed under the Profound Teaching for several months, and having long since mastered the Scarlet True Flying Centipede, Fang Shu had already begun refining his External Incarnation more than half a month ago, making it ready for use.
Therefore, in recent times, whenever he met with those immortal cultivators who had achieved alchemy, he would usually travel in his clone rather than in his true form. This was also a way for him to test the quality of his clones.
The "Primordial Embryo Spirit-Splitting Transformation Scripture" bestowed by the Goose Divine Immortal is truly extraordinary; to this day, not a single elixir has been produced from it.
The Immortal cultivator have seen through his Avatar and origins.
Now, having made a trip into the Profound Teaching, even several of Profound Teaching elders failed to notice.
Considering this, Fang Shu thought to himself, "Perhaps those old fellows Golden Core Perfection didn't notice the clues of my Avatar because their true bodies haven't arrived yet—to be on the safe side, it's not too late to enter the Profound Teaching after the avatar is completely condensed."
He pondered that once he had fully refined the foundation of the Primordial Embryo Transformation Technique, as long as he didn't perform magic battles in front of the Divine Immortal or attract their Divine Immortal Divine Sense, he could probably even deceive Divine Immortal.
In this way, even if he were to be removed from the Immortal Register Profound Teaching be subject to some kind of discipline, his Avatar should be able to cover it up.
This is precisely Fang Shu chose to hold back and not directly demand the return of his family's True Disciple residence.
However, if he wants to complete the final step of refining his External Incarnation, he still needs a few rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which will require some effort to collect.
However, Fang Shu quickly came up with another idea.
He has already acknowledged his status Profound Teaching True Disciple; if he wants these treasures, he only needs to give the word. Besides, he's not trying to take them for free.
The only thing that made him somewhat hesitant was that it was best to collect these treasures discreetly and not let too many people know.
People know.
Fang Shu pondered for a moment, then immediately thought of someone, "Perfect, that woman surnamed Chu also comes from an Aristocratic Clan of Golden Core under the Profound Teaching Rule. They are currently collecting various spiritual items, so it wouldn't be a problem for her to help me collect a few more."
He had just done a favor for the Chu Household, so they had no reason to refuse him. If that were the case, then his Longevity Ginseng wouldn't be so easy to obtain.
After much deliberation, Fang Shu finalized the matter regarding his External Incarnation.
Immediately, his thoughts shifted to something else.
Buzzing.
A wooden box flew out from the Storage Bag carried by the Avatar.
It opened on its own, revealing a light gauze handkerchief before him. This was the very Divine Immortal item that the Chu Household woman had auctioned off at the auction.
Fang Shu examined it carefully and even tried to use a few strands of Dragon Qi to refine it.
He discovered that the Dragon Qi couldn't penetrate this object at all. But in that respect, it truly deserves to be called a genuine Divine Immortal artifact.
Unfortunately, it was just fragments.
"But if it weren't for the fact that it wasn't a fragment, I wouldn't have had the chance to get it so easily," Fang Shu thought to himself.
Immediately, he channeled his inner True Qi into the object and began refining it.
As a result, several hours passed, and his Core Qi, when injected into this Spirit-Refining Object, seemed to vanish without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.
Furthermore, if he were to slacken his efforts even slightly, the vital energy he had painstakingly left within this object would be washed away by the handkerchief itself.
Finally, with a heavy heart, Fang Shu simply took out a Supreme-grade Spirit Stone, held it in his hand, and continuously refined it.
For three or four days straight, he didn't have time to refine his own Avatar, as all his energy was devoted to this object, and even his complexion turned slightly pale.
Fortunately, although this object was of a much higher status than him, it was ultimately just a fragment, and Fang Shu still managed to leave his own aura within it.
He took a deep breath, contemplating the connection between himself and the handkerchief, and immediately began to try and discover just how wondrous this object truly was.
Just as the Chu Household woman said, this handkerchief, apart from being able to cover the objects it covers and being an object belonging to the Divine Immortal, has no other magical properties.
This made Fang Shu softly.
However, he was not disappointed.
A strange light flashed in his eyes, and with a flick of his Method Formula, the Scarlet True Flying Centipede beside him transformed back into human form and stood before him.
Immediately, Fang Shu's true form suddenly dissipated, transforming into a small insect that landed in the hand of the Scarlet True Flying Centipede.
Then, his Avatar picked up the handkerchief and gently placed it on his real body.
Fang Shu form, hidden beneath the cloth, swayed gently and seemed to vanish into the world in an instant.
No matter whether his External Incarnation uses Divine Sense, Core Qi, or takes out Talisman or other items, it cannot detect him.
If it weren't for the connection between Fang Shu form and his Avatar, his skin wouldn't even be able to perceive that he was holding something in his hand.
Only when he reached out to grab it would he touch something invisible, but even then, he couldn't feel anything hidden behind the handkerchief.
Such miraculous effects truly broadened Fang Shu's horizons.
He couldn't help but wonder, "If this thing were intact, and one were to cover their entire body with it, could they truly disappear from this world—"
Unfortunately, the fragment before us does not possess such wondrous effects.
Fang Shu examined it carefully. Suddenly, he hardened his heart and used various Law Technique to strike the body that was wrapped in the handkerchief.
As a result, its main body remained completely unharmed inside, without even a slight tremor being detected.
This delighted him, and without further probing, he simply tucked the handkerchief, along with the handkerchief itself, into his pocket.
"With this item protecting my body, even if I were to practice Law Technique in front of Divine Immortal and leak my aura, it should be fine!"
Fang Shu thought to himself, even if some Divine Immortal noticed something amiss with his Avatar, as long as it wasn't his Divine Sense entering his body, they would only think that his foundation was weak, or that he wasn't human, and would never suspect that he still had a true body hidden away.
Furthermore, if he needs to enter Secret Realm or other such places in the future, his main body can also deceive everyone and enter with his clone.
Strolling through the inn, Fang Shu was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
With this fragment of Divine Treasure by his side, his Second Life is complete, and he can now embark on his adventures!
