Refinement

Jiang Xiasheng's pierced body, affected by the Moon Startling Wheel's Divine Ability, shattered like porcelain, each piece turning into moonlight and dissipating...

Suddenly, a tiny figure, about the size of a fist, carrying a small Storage Bag, burst out from the dissipated corpse, wandering around like a headless fly, trying to escape into the Great Void.

The next moment, flames appeared on the little man's body, calming him down, and then landed in Fang Yu's hand as he beckoned.

The little man struggled incessantly, but to no avail. Under the continued burning of the flames, his eyes gradually lost their light.

'I've obtained the fifth-tier inheritance!'

Fang Yu murmured to himself and looked up at Yunyangzi was already trapped in the illusion.

His painstaking planning was worthwhile; by using the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure as bait and sacrificing Zhang Zhonghu and Yang Zhan as tools, he managed to lure Yunyangzi and his disciple Jiang Xiasheng into the Purple Mansion.

Using the Divine Ability the White Bone Contemplation Technique, he trapped the two in an illusion, then killed Jiang Xiasheng and captured his Nascent Soul. In the future, he only needed to slowly search their souls to surely gain complete control over the True Disciple of the Five Elements Peak lineage.

However, Yunyangzi in front of him was not easy to deal with. Although he had fallen into an illusion, he was, after all, Nascent Soul Late Stage Jiang Xiasheng, Nascent Soul Early Stage.

Lost in thought, he gently waved his hand, and the Moon Startling Wheel to his hand. Endless Law Power began to flow into it, making it even more wondrous.

In the blink of an eye, all his Law Power surged into the Moon Startling Wheel.

In an instant, the Moon Startling Wheel, trailing a streak of starlight, slashed at Yunyangzi.

A talisman suddenly appeared, emitting an earthy yellow glow, and blocked the Moon Startling Wheel in the blink of an eye.

"There really are more!"

Fang Yu retracted the Moon Startling Wheel, narrowed his eyes as he looked at the talisman emanating a fifth-order aura.

'It seems the true strength of the Five Elements Peak lies in the Dao of Talismans, not in alchemy, weaponry, or formations!'

Although he had already climbed to the position of True Disciple, he still could not access the true Spirit Transformation inheritance of the Five Elements Peak. This Dao of Talismans was probably only accessible to the eldest disciple and thus able to be inherited.

Sure enough, no matter where you are, the truly top-tier traditions will not be passed down among disciples who have 'ordinary' blood.

"Suck..."

He took a deep breath, and the Spiritual Qi within his Purple Mansion space surged into his body like a tide, restoring his Law Power in the blink of an eye.

"A fifth-tier spirit talisman, and a defensive one at that. To forcibly break it, I'm afraid even exhausting all the Spiritual Qi in the entire Purple Mansion wouldn't be enough!"

Fang Yu murmured, a cold smile appearing on his lips. "Fortunately, I have already mastered the ' Molten Edge Flow ' Divine Ability, and my External Alchemy Technique has reached the Grandmaster level. I can use heaven and earth as a furnace to refine external elixirs, and this elder in front of me, who Nascent Soul Great Late Stage, is the perfect material."

"Rise..."

A long shout,

The atmosphere of heaven and earth changed drastically, the temperature began to soar, the rivers, lakes and seas began to boil, columns of magma shot into the sky, mountains cracked open and turned into volcanic lava, spewing out endless flames.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Purple Mansion transformed from its usual state of birdsong and fragrant flowers into a furnace of heaven and earth, amplifying the power of his ' Phoenix Sets the Plains Ablaze ' and ' Molten Edge Flow ' Divine Ability abilities to their peak.

The scorching flames rushed towards Yunyangzi, burning his protective talisman.

Fang Yu sat cross-legged atop a volcano, his gaze sweeping over the mortals below who were terrified by the great upheaval.

Some were dodging the constantly falling scorching lava, some were kneeling and praying, shouting "Immortal, please calm down!" "Immortal, spare my life!" and there were also martial arts masters searching everywhere for a place to hide.

"Fine! I'll just have to deal with it!"

Fang Yu thought to himself, and a thought appeared in his mind. He isolated a valley at the edge of his Purple Mansion and sent these mortals into it to prevent them from being refined.

These mortals are all martial arts masters who have cultivated the ' Spirit-Cleansing Guide,' so they still have some value to him. If he couldn't take care of them, he could only leave it to their fate. But now that he still has the strength, he will take care of them to prevent them from all dying out, since he will need to bring them in from the outside in the future.

Soon, he gathered all the mortals in the Purple Mansion together, set up a barrier, and then focused all his attention on ' Yunyangzi '.

Since mastering the ' Molten Edge Flow ' Divine Ability and achieving great success in External Alchemy Technique, this was his first time formally refining pills, and he was also a top-tier cultivator at the ' Nascent Soul Great Late Stage '.

If it weren't for the Divine Ability of the ' White Bone Contemplation ', he wouldn't have been confident in trapping this person. But now, with the White Bone Contemplation disturbing his mind, he could calmly refine him.

At the same time, he was also able to systematically review the ' External Alchemy Technique '.

Although the "Crimson Firmament Profound Craft Canon" and "Crimson Firmament Liberation by Violence Manual" that record this External Alchemy Technique both originated from Mount Longhu, the technique itself is not guilty, nor is the Divine Ability. It should still be used, and it should be used well, correctly, and even more skillfully than the Lei Huo lineage of Mount Longhu.

Only in this way can one "know oneself and know one's enemy," and when he returns to the Dao of Qi Ingestion in the future, he will be better able to deal with Mount Longhu.

Under the manipulation of the Molten Edge Flow Flowing Flame True Fire erupted like flames, continuously burning the earthen-yellow light curtain emitted by the talisman.

Fang Yu closed his eyes, carefully sensing the mysterious sensations returned during the burning process, and comprehending the rules of heaven and earth that the talisman might involve.

A fifth-order spirit talisman is already among the inheritances of the Spirit Transformation stage. Being able to refine a fifth-order spirit talisman means that one can definitely mobilize a certain part of the rules of heaven and earth.

In the Great Scarlet Heaven, where Qi Refining is the primary method of cultivation, anything involving the rules of heaven and earth can be categorized as a Spirit Transformation inheritance.

Because here, only those who advance to the Nascent Spirit Transformation can grasp a portion of the rules of heaven and earth, directly mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use, thus saving the step of refining it into Law Power.

A fifth-order spirit talisman is naturally an aggregation of a certain set of rules.

In this respect, it is similar to the Divine Ability of the Dao of Qi Ingestion.

However, they are still fundamentally different.

The Divine Ability of the Dao of Qi Ingestion are centered on the human being. Every Divine Ability is mixed with the personal willpower of Golden Core True Lord or Purple Mansion True Person, and is distorted to a certain extent.

The Dao of Qi Refining is different. The rules of heaven and earth are the rules of heaven and earth, without any human will involved, and it is much purer.

In recent days, Fang Yu has also frequently read the "Taiyi Salvation from Suffering in the Underworld" scripture.

Although he neither sought nor cultivated the [Ghost Metal] Golden Position, he gained a lot of knowledge about the rules of heaven and earth by reading this scripture, which enabled him to initially distinguish the differences between the two worlds.

Now, his goal in refining Yunyangzi is essentially to understand the rules of heaven and earth governing that talisman. Once he understands it, refining it will only be a matter of time.
