True Colors
The Foundation Establishment Gathering reached a new climax with the arrival of Fairy Ruyan. Although the original protagonist, Zhang Zhonghu, was still sitting in the main seat,
However, the limelight had already been overshadowed by Fairy Ruyan, and the Foundation Establishment disciples all came to curry favor, hoping to make an appearance in front of Fairy Ruyan and leave an impression on her.
Fang Yu actually wanted to take this opportunity to get closer and experience the woman's charm, but his cultivation level was too low at the moment, so he had no chance and could only watch from afar.
About an hour later, Fairy Ruyan, along with Zhang Zhonghu and several other Foundation Establishment Late Stage disciples, left their seats and went to the backyard, disappearing from everyone's sight.
Fang Yu watched the Fairy Ruyan disappear through the door leading to the backyard, the lust that had been aroused in his heart quickly subsided. Then, when he looked at the beautiful maids in the room, he felt nothing at all. At the same time, he could vaguely see the fair skin and bones beneath the maids' bodies.
The White Bone Contemplation has three levels.
First level: Seeing a beautiful woman, lust rises;
The second level, seeing beautiful women as mere skeletons, completely extinguishes lust;
The third level is simply seeing beautiful women, still beautiful, arousing desire in them;
He has now reached the second level; even the most beautiful women appear as mere bones to him. He is unaffected by illusions and can directly see through the essence of things. However, this has brought a serious consequence: impotence.
This is unacceptable to Fang Yu.
After all, he didn't want to become a monk. If he truly lost the most basic desires of a human being, would he still be human?
Now, upon seeing Fairy Ruyan, his desires resurfaced, indicating that this person could help him cultivate to the third level, thus overcoming the drawbacks of the White Bone Contemplation Divine Ability. At that time, he could still possess a loving heart and would no longer be affected by illusions and other Divine Ability.
The meeting ended quickly, and Fang Yu bid farewell to everyone and returned to his own courtyard.
After sitting down at the tea table, he took out the ' White Bone Sarira '.
As the golden light appeared, the figure of the Fairy Ruyan he had just seen reappeared before his eyes. Her figure and appearance seemed to be right in front of him, causing his Qi and Blood to swell slightly.
After a moment, Fang Yu sighed and put away the White Bone Sarira.
The effect of this illusion is negligible; it can only make the person slightly raise their head before gradually subsiding.
'Sure enough, there's a huge difference between watching a movie and True Person!'
He reached for the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and slowly sipped it.
The negative effects of the White Bone Contemplation must be eliminated, but the original plan cannot be affected; the improvement of cultivation should be done gradually.
There are still three years until the opening of the ' Nine-Lock Azure Terrace ' secret realm. At that time, I can follow the original plan, go into the secret realm for a tour, get a Gold Jade Lingzhi, hand it over to the sect, obtain the qualification to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pill, and then use my identity as Alchemist to speed up the time to achieve Foundation Establishment.
Once I achieve Foundation Establishment, I'll be considered inner disciple. At that point, it will be much easier and more normal for me to contact Ruyan. If I can see her frequently, I can get her to help me with my cultivation.
Restore your manly nature.
Thinking about this, Fang Yu's somewhat anxious heart gradually calmed down.
*****
Cultivating immortality knows no time; three years passed in the blink of an eye.
"What? You want to enter the Nine-Lock Secret Realm?"
True Person Jade Liquid looked at Fang Yu with some surprise.
"Exactly!" Fang Yu said firmly, "I am now in the Qi Refining Late Stage, so it is only natural that I should plan for Foundation Establishment."
After the opening time of the Nine-Lock Secret Realm was announced inside the sect, Fang Yu immediately registered and then stopped taking orders, making it clear that he was preparing for battle with all his might. Since True Person Jade Liquid was an important link in his record, he naturally had to come over in person to inform him.
Looking at this free laborer who had helped him refine pills for over ten years, True Person Jade Liquid truly didn't want him to go into the secret realm to die.
"You are on the path of Dao of Alchemy, where you need to risk your life in secret realms against those disciples who specialize in killing. Don't worry about the Foundation Establishment Pill; I'll take care of it for you."
"Thank you, Senior Brother, but my mind is made up. As a disciple of the Immortal Sect, if I haven't even entered the Nine-Lock Secret Realm, what face do I have to call myself a disciple of the Immortal Sect!"
Fang Yu made a series of persuasive remarks, then changed the subject, "Well, True Person, there's no need to worry about me. I've made thorough preparations. Once we enter the secret realm, I will act with utmost care and will absolutely not compete with the disciples of the Eight Meridians. I'll be content if I can find even a single Gold Jade Lingzhi."
Upon hearing this, True Person Jade Liquid sighed and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't try to persuade you any further. Be careful when you enter the secret realm. Oh, and here's a ' Exploding Blood Pill ' for you; it might save your life in a crisis."
"Exploding Blood Pill!"
Fang Yu exclaimed in surprise, quickly took the jade bottle handed to him by True Person Jade Liquid, and gently opened it. He immediately smelled a strong stench of blood, and the next moment, his Qi and Blood began to boil. He quickly closed the bottle.
"This, this is actually a real Exploding Blood Pill!"
Fang Yu wasn't faking it; he was genuinely surprised. This was because the Exploding Blood Pill was a forbidden item among second-tier pills. Taking it could stimulate a cultivator's Qi and Blood and qi, greatly increasing their strength in a short period.
Based on his current Qi Refining Late Stage (90% complete), after taking this Exploding Blood Pill, he could unleash the power of Foundation Establishment Early Stage, although it might only last for a few breaths. It would definitely be a trump card.
Of course, the aftereffects are also significant. At best, it can lead to a deficiency of Qi and Blood, requiring several years to recover. At worst, it can cause a decline in cultivation level, or even death from a sudden hemorrhage.
Because of its severe aftereffects, this Pill Formula is only mentioned in the formal Dao of Alchemy tradition within the sect, but not the Pill Formula. Unexpectedly, this True Person Jade Liquid actually possesses such a valuable item.
Fang Yu put away the Exploding Blood Pill and looked at True Person Jade Liquid with burning eyes, "Senior Brother, could you pass on the Pill Formula for this Exploding Blood Pill to me?"
"Hehe!" True Person Jade Liquid chuckled upon hearing this, but he wasn't angry. Over the years, he had come to know Jiang Yao quite well and knew that he was obsessed with Dao of Alchemy. It would be strange if he didn't ask for the Pill Formula when he saw a rare elixir like the Exploding Blood Pill.
"I can certainly give you the Pill Formula, but only after you emerge from the secret realm!"
"Ah!"
Fang Yu immediately understood what True Person Jade Liquid meant. The other party was afraid that he, the free alchemy tool, would really die in the secret realm, so he gave him the Exploding Blood Pill. Firstly, it would give him a greater chance of surviving the secret realm and continuing to refine pills for him for free. Secondly, it would keep him hanging on with the Pill Formula.
"Is what you say true, senior brother?"
"Of course it's true!"
Fang Yu immediately agreed, "Then it's settled. After I come out of the secret realm, Senior Brother must give me the Pill Formula for this pill!"
