Natural Disaster

Fang Yu didn't need to go to the Dao of Qi Ingestion; he only needed to sense what the reincarnated spirit knew over the past three years to understand everything that had happened in the An Kingdom.

When Embroidered Tiger rejected the decree from Mount Longmen and focused on winning over the hearts of the people, Qiu Xuanlong lost the conditions to raise an army.

Since there were no conditions, they had to create them themselves. Thus, floods began to rage and refugees began to flee. This natural disaster was clearly orchestrated by a cultivator, and not just any ordinary cultivator. It must have been the work of the Purple Mansion, otherwise it would have been difficult to cause such a large-scale natural disaster.

Natural disasters struck, followed by man-made calamities, which gave Qiu Xuanlong the conditions to raise an army.

Embroidered Tiger was powerless to do anything about it. After all, how could man fight against the heavens? In Jingzhou, Mount Longmen was the heavens.

However, to Fang Yu's surprise, Qiu Xuanlong actually raised an army in the name of Great Peace Fist. This was clearly an attempt to take advantage of Great Peace Village's previous reputation among the people. It has to be said that Qiu Xuanlong was quite shrewd. In this way, he could quickly gather people's hearts by leveraging Great Peace Village's reputation among the people.

'Although this person has changed his name to Great Peace Fist, his foundation is still what I left behind. This actually has a significant advantage for him; he can also share in some of the fortune. Combined with the heart fire he left with Embroidered Tiger, no matter who ultimately achieves the Purple Mansion realm in this Dragon-Tiger Great Elixir situation, he won't lose out.'

Fang Yu pondered for a moment, then took a sip of tea, deciding that he would definitely need to constantly monitor the state of his Dao of Qi Ingestion in the future, lest he miss the grand spectacle of the dragon-tiger duel.

*****

Time flies like an arrow; two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Fang Yu strolled through Autumn Moon Mountain Market, watching the crowds thronging past, and came to a newly opened teahouse by the roadside.

After two years of development, Autumn Moon Mountain has become increasingly stable. More and more low-level cultivators are coming to Autumn Moon Mountain to mine, making it more and more prosperous. The market is full of vendors, and it has the same thriving scene that he saw in Mosquito Immortal City back then.

"Guest, your tea is here!"

The waiter put down a pot of tea, glanced at Fang Yu, and instead of leaving immediately, asked in a low voice, "Are you new here? Would you like a mine map? Our shop has the latest maps, which can directly lead to mid-grade Spirit Stone mines!"

"Oh!" Fang Yu smiled and asked, "How much does this map cost?"

The shopkeeper immediately replied, "Just one mid-grade Spirit Stone will do!"

Fang Yu was slightly taken aback. "So expensive?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately replied, "This leads directly to the mid-grade spirit stone mine and avoids many of the Demon Beast in the mines, so naturally it's a bit more expensive. Besides, it's just a mid-grade Spirit Stone; everyone digs out a hundred or two hundred pieces every time they go mining!"

"Then let's take one!" Fang Yu said, taking out a mid-grade Spirit Stone.

The waiter immediately took out a Jade Slip and handed it over, saying, "Here you go, sir. You can come to the store on the first and fifteenth of every month to get the latest map for free!"

"Good, good, good!" Fang Yu nodded repeatedly, and as soon as he scanned the Jade Slip slip, an extremely complex mining map appeared in his mind.

'I never imagined this mining area had become so complex!'

Although the map sold in this teahouse was a bit pricey, it was still worth a mid-grade Spirit Stone. The fact that it could be sold for such a high price shows how tempting the profit-sharing agreement he had initially set must have been.

After finishing his tea, Fang Yu got up and left the teahouse, strolling leisurely through the market town towards the town lord's cave abode.

Soon, he returned to his cave abode and saw Zhuang Xian waiting at the entrance from afar.

"Master, you're back!"

Zhuang Xian greeted them from afar, then presented a Storage Bag, saying, "This is the latest batch of spiritual materials we acquired, and inside is a seven-leaf clover."

Fang Yu's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He took the Storage Bag, scanned it with his Divine Sense, and immediately sensed a precious auxiliary ingredient inside. 'Two years have passed; this last auxiliary ingredient has finally been acquired.'

"Go ahead!" Fang Yu said, preparing to return to his residence. Zhuang Xian then said, "Master, the Golden Core Ancestor of the Cloud Spirit Sect, Fairy Cloud Spirit, has sent a disciple to request an audience with you, saying she has important matters to discuss."

"What's the important matter?" Fang Yu asked casually.

Zhuang Xian said, "They said they wanted to invite you to be a guest elder of the Cloud Spirit Sect, and they also offered you a chance to obtain a Golden Core fortuitous opportunity."

"A chance to achieve the Golden Core fortuitous opportunity?" Fang Yu looked at Zhuang Xian. "What exactly is this fortuitous opportunity?"

Zhuang Xian replied, "The envoy refused to say, saying that this fortuitous opportunity was of great importance and he could only tell you in person!"

"Hehe!" Fang Yu chuckled. "Tell that envoy, he can speak or not, if he doesn't want to, he can get lost!"

"Uh!" Zhuang Xian was slightly taken aback. Just as he was about to say something, Fang Yu had already entered the cave abode. He then cupped his hands in greeting and turned to leave.

Fang Yu returned to his cave abode and took out the spiritual materials one by one, letting them float in front of him.

He currently lacks the Cultivation Method to meet any envoys, especially those who are deliberately mysterious. It's even less likely that he'll become a guest elder of the Cloud Spirit Sect. As for the Golden Core fortuitous opportunity, if it's meant to fortuitous opportunity his, he won't miss it; if it's not, there's no point in thinking about it anymore.

His greatest fortuitous opportunity Golden Core Formation Pill the Golden Core stage is that he has collected all the main and auxiliary ingredients for the ' Golden Core Formation Pill ' and can now begin refining it.

With a flick of his hand, a medicine furnace appeared and landed in the courtyard. It was covered with various runes, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out as Spiritual Qi circulated within it.

This medicine furnace is the one he has used to refine other third-tier spiritual pills over the past two years. After refining batch after batch of third-tier pills, the furnace has been constantly adjusted and refined, and now it has become quite spiritually rich. Using it to refine ' Golden Core Formation Pill ' can greatly increase the success rate.

After all, while the Pill Formula for the ' Golden Core Formation Pill ' is easy to obtain, the materials are not. He has spent countless Spirit Stone over the past two years to finally collect just one set of materials.

If we fail, we don't know how many more years we'll have to wait to collect a complete set.

After all, the Western Extremity of the world is barren, and even if you have a mine, there's nowhere to buy it.

'I've simulated refining this Golden Core Formation Pill many times, and I've also refined it using surplus spiritual materials. I should be able to refine it in one go!'

With a thought flashing through Fang Yu's mind, the Yuanchen Pearl spun rapidly, and the aura on his body transformed into the Dao Foundation ' Molten Edge Flow '.

A raging fire ignited from beneath the Pill Furnace, spreading across its entire surface and causing the runes on it to light up one by one.

The lid of the Pill Furnace was opened, and a portion of auxiliary materials flew in. Under the high temperature, it turned into a liquid medicine. Subsequently, more and more spiritual materials flew in and mixed with other spiritual herbs.

Soon, all the auxiliary materials were processed, forming a pot of fragrant medicinal liquid.

'Time to deal with the main materials!'

Fang Yu flicked his hand, took out the third-tier Demon Beast Inner Core, and with the fluctuation of his Divine Thought, a ball of flame suddenly ignited, enveloping the demon core and slowly refining it.

After an unknown amount of time, the Inner Core began to melt like a candle, dripping into the Pill Furnace and forming a wondrous reaction with the other auxiliary materials. Once the entire Demon Beast 'Inner Core had completely melted, the Pill Furnace lid was closed, the surging flames subsided, and it slowly burned at the bottom of the furnace.

Forty-nine days later.

The Pill Furnace opened, and three 'Golden Core Formation Pill flew out from it.

Fang Yu sensed the three genuine ' Golden Core Formation Pill ' with his Divine Thought and laughed.

"With these three Golden Core Formation Pill as my aid, I am certain I can achieve Golden Core formation."
