Eight Desolations
The Dao of Qi Refining.
Cold Mountain Valley.
"The little sister saw my lover off, and escorted him to his doorstep..."
Fang Yu hummed a little tune as he strolled around the valley, circling a few times before returning to the tea table to brew a pot of tea.
The trip to Dao of Qi Ingestion to find Embroidered Tiger went relatively smoothly, except that it failed to plant the Heart Flame in his heart.
With the Purple Mansion Formation given to him, Embroidered Tiger will surely give Mount Longmen a big surprise in the future, whether he lives or dies. If he can kill Qiu Xuanlong and achieve the Purple Mansion, he will have made a huge profit and will surely make Mount Longmen suffer a great loss to avenge his suicide.
Even if it fails, it can still cause them a lot of trouble, and perhaps even kill Tie Feng during the battle between the dragon and the tiger, thus settling their own karma.
Of course, none of these are the most important. The most important thing is that he left behind the 'Heart Flame' and used it to cultivate with the help of the Embroidered Tiger. This was an attempt he had thought of over the years to solve the problem of the lack of follow-up Cultivation Method for the "Starfire Heart-Burning Instruction".
He entered the Dao through the Fire of Ten Thousand Households and accumulated his Dao Attainment through the Safe Village. Therefore, no matter what the subsequent Cultivation Method are, he will definitely need corresponding Dao Attainment. Thus, this 'heart fire' is using Embroidered Tiger to cultivate with all the mortals of the entire ' An Kingdom ' to improve his Dao Attainment.
Regardless of whether Embroidered Tiger ultimately wins or not, as long as he uses his own inner fire, it will accumulate his Dao Attainment and enhance the wonder of ' Phoenix Sets the Plains Ablaze '.
There will definitely be many problems, but that's okay. Just keep trying; he has plenty of time.
"Now let me see what kind of Cultivation Method this Embroidered Tiger practices!"
With a flick of his wrist, a tiger-shaped seal appeared in his hand.
This seal features a lifelike tiger coiled around it, and the inscription reads "[Eight Desolations Spirit-Illuminating Scripture]".
He probed into it with his Divine Thought, and the contents of the Cultivation Method flooded his mind. After a long while, Fang Yu finally came to his senses, his eyes shining.
This "Eight Desolations Spirit-Illuminating Scripture" is most suitable for cultivators with the "Tail Tiger" destiny. Cultivating both body and mind not only increases physical Law Power, but also enhances the soul and strengthens the Divine Thought. Its close combat killing power is extremely strong, and it can directly cultivate to the Dao Purple Mansion realm.
Of course, there are definitely pitfalls in this Cultivation Method, and big ones at that. The probability of cultivating to the Purple Mansion is infinitely close to zero. However, since this Cultivation Method comes from 'Dragon Mount Longmen ' and is the core Cultivation Method of ' Dragon-Tiger Great Elixir ', it must be possible to cultivate to the Purple Mansion realm, or even infinitely close. Otherwise, how could the Dragon-Tiger Great Elixir have succeeded?
"Unfortunately, I am not Tail Fire Star destiny, nor do I enjoy the battlefield and the killing!"
Fang Yu sighed and put it away.
With the Yuanchen Pearl, he wasn't afraid of any pitfalls in the Cultivation Method; he could simply purify it. However, to improve Dao Attainment Cultivation Method, he needed to fight on the battlefield like a ' Embroidered Tiger '. Only in this way could he improve his Dao Attainment.
If one is not a chosen one of destiny and has no sect to support them when going to war, they will probably be attacked by the Purple Mansion before the battle even begins.
Even if he returns to the Goldstone Sect Dojo, I'm afraid...?
Hmm, Fang Yu thought of this, Divine Sense sank into his sea of consciousness, landing on the "Moon-Embracing Sword Intent".
There are many Fire Element cultivators within the Goldstone Sect. Although most are 'fire-stone craftsmen,' quite a few possess the destiny of a tiger. If this sect's Cultivation Method were to be passed back to the Goldstone Sect...
Will the sect arrange for its disciples to undergo trials within the Goldstone Sect's training grounds?
There will definitely be experiments, after all, this is a Purple Mansion Cultivation Method. If we can find out its flaws, we can improve it.
Well, forget it. Even if the flaws in the Cultivation Method are discovered and corrected, the Tie Household probably wouldn't want Purple Mansion True Person to emerge from the Heavenly Craft Lineage the Goldstone Sect. If that were the case, the Goldstone Sect would probably have to be renamed the Metal Fire Sect.
"Although I cannot cultivate it, it can serve as a reference. If I recover tens of millions of true spirits in the future, and if among them are true spirits with the ' Tail Fire ' destiny, it will not be too late to use them to verify the flaws."
*****
Days passed by.
Fang Yu cultivates for two hours every day, and in his spare time he drinks tea, grows vegetables, and refines new third-order formations.
This time, he will use the best materials he can, intending to forge it into a portable, third-tier array plate as his foundation.
Occasionally, he would use the Yuanchen Pearl to remotely sense the 'Child of the True Spirit' and check on its growth, thereby gaining insight into the events that were unfolding in the An Kingdom from different perspectives.
Not long after he returned that day, Embroidered Tiger issued an edict granting amnesty to the whole country and exonerating ' Safe Village ' from its status as a cult.
Even so, Safe Village did not cause any further trouble, after all, during the suppression back then, almost everyone was killed.
In addition, a series of tax reduction and exemption policies were introduced, which quickly improved his popularity among the people of the An Kingdom. Fang Yu's inner fire also spread among the people during this period. In just a few months, the number of people whose inner fire was ignited exceeded ten million.
This made Fang Yu sigh in admiration; it really was the emperor. The speed at which he could win people's hearts was something he could never match.
Fang Yu was also very pleased with this, after all, the world's support was of great benefit to his accumulation of Dao Attainment.
More than two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
That day, Fang Yu finished his cultivation as usual, brewed a pot of tea, and was drinking it when he sensed that the great formation of Cold Mountain Valley had been activated. His brows furrowed slightly.
"Why isn't it a girl delivering the materials this time?"
The grand formation was activated, and a beam of light descended nearby, revealing Zhuang Yun's figure.
Fang Yu glanced at him and immediately sensed an aura of death emanating from Zhuang Yun, suggesting that his lifespan was nearing its end.
Zhuang Yun presented the Storage Bag containing various spiritual materials and said, "Reporting to the Ancestor, the shopkeeper of Mosquito Immortal City has just returned with tremendous news: Daoist Mosquito's first disciple, ' Qian Chongzi,' has advanced to the Golden Core and will hold a grand ceremony in three months. He has specially invited sects and Foundation Establishment Lineage from surrounding countries to attend the ceremony, and you also have an invitation."
He then handed over an invitation.
"The Qian Chongzi has advanced to the Golden Core stage!"
Fang Yu took the invitation and examined it; it was an invitation to ' Danyangzi ' to attend the ceremony.
"Ancestor, I have no time to attend the ceremony. Please prepare a generous gift for me and send someone in my place!"
Fang Yu wasn't surprised that Qian Chongzi had advanced to the Golden Core stage. He had predicted that Mosquito Immortal City would be "very auspicious" many years ago. Now that the city had produced another Golden Core cultivator, making it the only force in the Three Kingdoms with "two Golden Core cultivators," it was indeed very auspicious. However, this was not good news for the Three Kingdoms. The cultivation world, which had just begun to calm down, was likely to fall into chaos again.
"Yes, nephew, may I send Zhuang Xian instead?"
Fang Yu looked at Zhuang Yun and asked, "Are you going to let Zhuang Xian succeed as clan leader?"
Zhuang Yun immediately said, "Ancestor, you are wise. Your nephew is already old. It just so happens that Zhuang Xian recently broke through to the Qi Refining Late Stage, so I thought I would take this opportunity to send him to Mosquito Immortal City to broaden his horizons, and then let him take over the position of clan leader upon his return."
Fang Yu had some impression of Zhuang Xian, who was 48 years old this year. His aptitude was considered quite good in the Zhuang Household. He was expected to reach the Qi Refining Great Perfection before the age of sixty, and was qualified to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
He didn't care who would become the Zhuang Household; however, with the world on the verge of chaos, it was better for the future clan leader to remain within the clan.
"Zhuang Xian, don't go to Wenxian. That's a dangerous place. Go there yourself. While you're there, sell off all the clan's properties in Mosquito Immortal City and bring back the resources. Also, sell off all the properties in the markets and towns of various countries and bring back the spiritual resources. At the same time, recruit all the disciples who are away."
"Ah!"
Zhuang Yun asked in surprise, "Ancestor, why is that?"
Fang Yu snorted coldly and said, "Mosquito Immortal City has now produced two Golden Core cultivators and has also gained control of the mid-grade spirit mine in Autumn Moon Mountain. How could it possibly miss this opportunity? If I am not mistaken, their next step is to plot against the Cloud Spirit Sect of Chu Kingdom and take its place. A great war is about to break out, and these three months are the last chance for us to withdraw and consolidate our power."
Zhuang Yun was startled upon hearing this, "Ancestor, you are truly a master strategist! I will go and do it immediately!"
Fang Yu watched Zhuang Yun leave, then extended the hand holding the invitation from her sleeve.
Of course, he was incredibly resourceful. With an invitation connected to the fortunes of the Qian Chongzi, predicting their next move was naturally a piece of cake for him.
