Devouring Yin Tortoise Carapace

Su Fang naturally understood the principle of letting a tiger return to the mountains.

However, the Yin Wraith female ghost fled extremely fast. With Su Fang's own cultivation, catching up to her would have been exceedingly difficult.

Seeing this, Su Fang simply took out the [Heavenly Evolution Array Disk] and directly restarted the [Four Symbols Illusion Formation] at the entrance of the underground palace.

The unsuspecting Yin Wraith female ghost charged straight into the illusion formation.

"How could this happen? What kind of place is this?" The Yin Wraith kept trying to escape, but no matter how hard she struggled, she could not do so.

Seeing that the female ghost had been successfully trapped, Su Fang let out a breath of relief.

First, he killed Jiang Chen, who had already lost his sanity, with a single sword strike.

Then, through the illusion formation, he directly struck down the Yin Wraith female ghost with his sword.

After taking care of everything,

Su Fang finally began checking his spoils.

The Yin Wraith female ghost had naturally left nothing behind, but Jiang Chen was a different matter.

First was his Mysterious Tortoise Shell.

After Su Fang took it, he immediately had the system appraise it. It was actually an eighth-grade secret treasure.

[Devouring Yin Tortoise Carapace]: Eighth-grade secret treasure. Forged from the back shell of a Yin-Devouring Tortoise. It possesses the ability to devour Yin Qi and command Yin Wraiths.

At the same time, after being modified by a great master of formations, treasure-seeking array inscriptions had been engraved upon the tortoise carapace, allowing it to sense treasures within a small range.

Once Su Fang understood the use of the [Devouring Yin Tortoise Carapace], he was immediately overjoyed.

He had never expected that aside from devouring Yin Qi and commanding Yin Wraiths, this tortoise carapace could even seek treasures.

"No wonder that brat Jiang Chen was so lucky and could find treasures everywhere. So it was because of this tortoise carapace."

Thinking this, Su Fang contentedly put away the tortoise carapace.

He then began examining Jiang Chen's storage ring.

As soon as he opened it, he saw spirit stones piled into a small mountain within, along with dozens of treasures of various grades.

Su Fang gave them a rough look. The overwhelming majority of those treasures were perfectly preserved; it was truly an astonishing fortune.

"Haha, robbery really is the best way to get rich overnight!"

Laughing heartily, Su Fang put away the ring.

He then left the underground palace in high spirits.

Before leaving, he naturally did not forget to bury the entrance to the underground palace again.

Only after finishing all this did Su Fang slowly head toward his residence.

On the way, he ran into Luo Changqing again.

When Luo Changqing saw Su Fang, he was instantly astonished and could not help asking, "You didn't run into any trouble, did you?"

Hearing Luo Changqing's strange question, Su Fang was immediately at a loss.

He then asked in confusion, "Hm? What could possibly have happened to me?"

Upon hearing that, Luo Changqing seemed to realize his own lapse.

He then slowly explained, "It's good that nothing happened. You disappeared for the past few days. I thought you hadn't withstood the erosion of Yin Qi and had met with some accident outside."

"Oh, so that was it." Su Fang came to a realization, then said, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Luo. Nothing happened to me. I was merely wandering around the cemetery these past few days."

Su Fang casually made up an excuse to brush him off.

Although Luo Changqing did not quite believe Su Fang's explanation, he did not ask any further questions.

After all, in the Gods and Devils Cemetery, who did not have a few secrets of their own?

Thus, after bidding farewell to Luo Changqing, Su Fang returned to his residence.

Only then did he remember that he seemed not to have "knocked heads" for Mad Old Man in quite a few days.

The next time he saw him, he wondered whether the old man would fly into a rage and want to boil him alive.

However, now that Su Fang had obtained the [Heavenly Evolution Array Disk], he was not particularly afraid of Mad Old Man anymore.

At worst, he could set up the [Four Symbols Illusion Formation] and trap him inside.

Thinking of that, Su Fang no longer worried.

At the same time, he remembered the golden bone he had exchanged for fifteen uses of "Soul Cleansing."

"Perfect. I have comprehension attempts now, so I'll first see what this golden bone is."

With that thought, Su Fang took out the golden bone and used the system to inspect it...

[Supreme Golden Bone]: A bone condensed from the lifelong skeletal essence of a great body cultivator. It contains the method for cultivating a golden body, the Nine-Turn Golden Body Art.

Would you like to comprehend it?

"Holy shit! It really does contain a method for cultivating a golden body!" Su Fang shouted in delight.

Though he had imagined such a possibility before, when it truly happened, he could not help being overjoyed.

One had to know that methods for cultivating a golden body were the supreme body-tempering arts of ancient body cultivators, things long lost in the river of history.

He had long yearned for the legendary Flesh Sanctification.

And now, he too could embark upon such a path of cultivating a golden body. How could he not be delighted?

Thinking of this, Su Fang impatiently chose "Comprehend."

In an instant, the scene before Su Fang's eyes changed dramatically.

Then, he appeared atop a magnificent and towering mountain of bones.

Upon the mountain stood a glittering golden figure, continuously performing a strange cultivation method.

Su Fang knew that it was the so-called Nine-Turn Golden Body Art, and he immediately began comprehending it with full focus.

Time continued to pass.

During the process of comprehension, Su Fang's body actually began cultivating on its own, slowly emitting golden light as well...

A long time passed again.

Until the system notification sounded.

"Comprehended Nine-Turn Golden Body Art!"

Only then did Su Fang awaken, ending the state of comprehending and cultivating at the same time.

He immediately sensed his body and clearly felt that his bones had become much tougher.

"How miraculous!" Su Fang exclaimed.

Merely cultivating for a short while had enhanced his physique so greatly.

This showed just how terrifying ancient body-tempering methods were.

However, the cultivation of the Nine-Turn Golden Body Art also had certain limitations.

It required a large quantity of beast bones, as well as all kinds of heavenly treasures and earthly materials, for assistance.

Yet in the Gods and Devils Cemetery where Su Fang was located, there were basically very few heavenly treasures and earthly materials. Even if there were any, most were of the Yin and Baleful Intent variety, making them unsuitable for cultivation.

As for beast bones, there were none in the Gods and Devils Cemetery, though there were plenty of human bones.

"I wonder whether human bones can replace beast bones?" Su Fang suddenly thought.

If they truly could replace them, it would undoubtedly greatly increase Su Fang's progress in cultivating the Nine-Turn Golden Body Art.

After all, the Gods and Devils Cemetery had the most human bones, and they were all the bones of top-tier experts. Their quality was surely beyond reproach.

Moreover, he had the [Heavenly Evolution Array Disk], allowing him to freely enter and leave the protective array inscriptions of tombs. Stealing bones would be extremely convenient.

When the time came, he would use nothing but the corpses of Violet Star Palace elders for cultivation.

He could take revenge while raising his cultivation at the same time—killing two birds with one arrow.

With an idea in mind, Su Fang planned to find several sets of human bones tomorrow and try using them to assist his cultivation.

However, it was already late, and Su Fang, exhausted after several days, was in no hurry to act. Instead, he rested for the night.

The next day.

The moment he woke up, he set off from his residence.

He headed straight for the tomb area of the Violet Star Palace.

However, when Su Fang was only halfway there, he happened to encounter Mad Old Man, who directly stopped him.

"Little Madman, you don't keep your word. You promised to knock your head fifteen times for me, yet you disappeared. I'm going to boil you."

Mad Old Man cursed and grumbled.

However, he did not truly make a move against Su Fang.
