Full Moon Visualization, Portrait Album of Beauties

Kang Dabao saw a familiar scene again, only this time Black Bone's target was much smaller than before.

Since the Immortal Seal Script appeared, this treasure, which Sect Leader Kang Da acquired from the spendthrift for eight Spirit Stones, has become much more mysterious.

If we could bring Black Bone back to the time when Kang Dabao and Daoist Wu held their barter fair, even if they still didn't know about Black Bone's extraordinary abilities, just based on his appearance, at least Sect Leader Kang Da wouldn't embarrass himself on stage and be ridiculed by Daoist Wu.

After Black Bone emerged from the Storage Bag, it floated in mid-air. Just as it released a burst of dark mist, something emerged from the belly of the Purple-Scaled Mountain-Subduing Turtle.

Even with his divine eyes activated, Sect Leader Kang Da could barely make out that it was probably a cultivator's skull.

Black Bone is now quite extraordinary. After having it for so many years, this is the first time Kang Dabao has felt a trace of extremely human-like joy from it.

But then the dark aura emanating from the Black Bone gradually enveloped the cultivator's skull, transforming it into a black cocoon. At first, it was the size of a football, but after half an hour, it was only the size of an apple, and after another half hour, it was only the size of a finger joint.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Kang Dabao saw the black cocoon, about the size of a finger joint, suddenly burst open, and the scattered dark mist almost filled the small room.

As the black cocoon burst open, a delicate, translucent white bone crystal emerged from it. Just before it fell to the ground, it was caught up and gently tapped, turning into dust.

On that Black Bone, the second Immortal Seal Script, which Sect Leader Kang Da had been struggling to obtain, suddenly lit up.

As Kang Dabao rejoiced, a sense of dread also crept into his heart. The last time Black Bone had reacted so strongly was when he had emptied the tomb of that barbarian general.

However, the deduction of this second Immortal Seal Script is several times more difficult than that of the first one. In other words, the piece of bone that Black Bone pulled out of the belly of the Purple-Scaled Mountain-Subduing Turtle should at least have been left by Golden Core cultivator.

"Is it the Golden Core of the Mountain Barbarians Clan? Legend has it that the Exalted Cultivator Guanyu did indeed annihilate Mountain Barbarians Cultivator back then. If he used that body to feed a spirit beast, it would make sense."

After pondering for a while, Kang Dabao finally grasped the Black Bone, whose spiritual light had become even stronger, in his hands again. Then, without pausing, the string of his Storage Bag untied itself, and three beams of light shot to three different places, sticking to the palms of his hands and between his eyebrows respectively.

After a long while, Sect Leader Kang Da finally opened his eyes and murmured, "The 'Northern Night Palace Full Moon Visualization Method, Volume One'? It's the Northern Night Palace again?"

As the Immortal Seal Script lit up completely, shining brightly, Kang Dabao, without bothering to appreciate the Cultivation Method, put the Black Bone back into his Storage Bag.

Having cultivated the Primordial Ancient Body, Sect Leader Kang Da naturally knew that the Cultivation Method extracted from the Immortal Seal Script was extraordinary. However, now was not the right time to study it, because the joy of the reappearance of the Black Bone was gradually outweighing the intense pain from the hidden injuries all over his body.

He carefully explored the Storage Bag that Jiang Qing handed him, found a bottle of Wild Lotus Pill and swallowed it haphazardly. After circulating his qi for half a day, he was able to roughly regulate the flow of qi in his body, barely preventing his injuries from worsening.

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye. Looking at Sect Leader Kang Da now, his bronze back was sparsely covered with white spots of varying sizes, which were quite conspicuous.

Those were new skins that had grown after the scabs fell off, and at first glance, they looked a bit out of place.

Kang Dabao sat cross-legged on the ground, smoke rising from his Baihui acupoint, having already pushed the Primordial Ancient Body to its limit. His body was surrounded by densely packed sweat-dampened marks, and next to these marks were broken teeth that had been forcibly squeezed out, originally belonging to the E Yuan.

These broken teeth were all jet black, half covered in blood and half in the demonic poison of E Yuan essence.

Without the secret technique of Primordial Ancient Body, it would have taken Sect Leader Kang Da nearly ten years of arduous work just to clear away these demonic poisons.

Suddenly, several muffled thuds came from inside the room. Kang Dabao's skin turned crimson, emitting white steam. He abruptly opened his eyes and uttered a soft cry, "Imperial Edict!"

The sharp teeth that had been inside its flesh were crushed into dust, and even the demonic poison on them was refined and seeped into the flesh, becoming nourishment for Sect Leader Kang Da's Dharma body.

Kang Dabao slowly stood up, and even now, the worry between his brows had not faded much.

After such a fierce battle, the injuries wouldn't heal so easily. Even if he returned to the sect and had the Fei Household Alchemist treat his wounds, he would still need one or two years to recover to about 70-80% full.

Fortunately, the injury has now been completely healed, and as long as there is no life-or-death struggle in the near future, the injury will not continue to worsen.

Kang Dabao has been in this room for three days now, and only now can he begin to explore it.

"I hope to find a Golden Core Formation Pill or something, or a Law Treasure, a talisman, or even a top-grade Spirit Artifact." It was true that Sect Leader Kang Da was having a good dream, but he was also feeling uneasy.

After all, Kang Dabao's luck has only been average over the years. Even if he went through countless hardships to finally enter the Ice-Drinking Chamber, the Dao Ancestor might not necessarily favor him.

The Mountain-Viewing cave abode has been opened several times already. Not all the rooms in the Ice-Drinking Chamber were originally used by Exalted Cultivator Guanyu for storing treasures. After being looted several times, most of the rooms are now empty.

There are also some good things hidden in the rooms inside, and none of them are easy to take. Most of them are like the Spirit Turtle Stone Chamber Key that Yue Lan encountered, which is not only impossible to break through by ordinary means, but even rare items like the Second Tier Formation-Breaking Pearl were wasted.

It's quite remarkable that Lang Yi and Chu Yanran were able to find and successfully retrieve two excellent spiritual items, Toad Dew and Evergreen Vine Toad Dew and Osmanthus Fragrance, in such a short time. Their skill and luck are truly extraordinary.

It is said that when the Mountain-Viewing Cave opened last time, a direct descendant of the Hongyi Sect's Xie Yi Shangxiu also came to explore it.

He entered six rooms, only to find them empty-handed each time. Enraged, he decided to seize the treasures obtained by the other cultivators.

Unexpectedly, this action angered the crowd, leading to his being surrounded and killed. In the end, he was only able to survive and leave Mountain-Viewing Cave alive because of the influence of his Golden Core Ancestor.

However, while he did manage to escape with his life, his future was completely ruined.

A Golden Core cultivator who had initially shown signs of becoming the young master of the Hongyi Sect completely lost credibility after returning home, and has been rarely heard from in recent years.

Kang Dabao knew that with his luck, the chances of him becoming as wealthy as Lang Yi and Chu Yanran were slim. But he also didn't want to end up empty-handed like that Golden Core cultivator.

He currently has no Second Tier Formation-Breaking Pearl left, and he has spent a lot of time healing. By the time he breaks through the light barrier of this room, he should not have much time left.

Sect Leader Kang Da stopped thinking about it and began to carefully search using his Dharma Eye.

His luck remained bad; the room he was chosen was neither a vital place like the Alchemy Chamber or the artifact room, nor a crucial place like the treasure pavilion or the scripture hall. It seemed to be just an ordinary bedroom.

The room's decor and furnishings were quite fresh and elegant, showing that its owner had put a lot of thought into it. Even after all these years, Kang Dabao could still seem to smell a faint fragrance in the room.

But all of these were useless to Sect Leader Kang Da. The items in the room were all spiritual objects, but their quality was very low.

In his younger days, when Kang Dabao was a traveling merchant, he might have been overjoyed to see these items for three days straight, even thinking about whether he could buy a few more catties of Demon Beast from Widow Ma to treat Jiang Qing. But now, the Sect Leader Kang Da, finds it difficult to feel even the slightest satisfaction from these things.

"Am I really that unlucky?" After getting nothing, Kang Dabao became a little discouraged. His bones seemed to go limp, and he slumped his head and shoulders, then turned around to try to probe the light screen across the door.

With a "bang," the two Golden Light beams formed by the Delusion-Breaking Golden Eyes slammed into the light screen. The light screen only flickered for a moment, and after a short while, the ripples dissipated and it returned to normal.

"If I were to break the spell with force, I am injured and cannot cast spells for long; it would probably take me eight days."

The Sect Leader Kang Da muttered to himself, calculating with his fingers that it was already the seventh day since he entered the Mountain-Viewing Cave. In other words, if he started to grind against this light barrier from now on, it would probably be the fourteenth or fifteenth day before he could break through and emerge.

So, after leaving this place, he might still have the opportunity to choose a room to enter.

"I wonder how Uncle Black Shoes' fight with that beast is going? If we get out early, I might be able to help him out a little." Kang Dabao was worried about Black Shoes' safety.

But then he thought again, with his own martial uncle's abilities, even if he couldn't defeat the ferocious beast that had consumed the beast core, he could still protect himself.

Setting aside his worries for the time being, Kang Dabao was still unwilling to give up and began to carefully search using his magic eye.

About fifteen minutes later, Sect Leader Kang Da still hadn't found anything, causing him to frown deeply and say unwillingly, "Is there really no treasure here?!"

"Tsk, if it's not meant to be, you can't force it."

Another quarter of an hour passed. Kang Dabao's eyes were swollen and painful, and tears welled up in his eyes. He scanned them haphazardly for a while, and was about to finish his practice when he noticed something unusual on the bed.

"Huh, a small illusion array?!" Kang Dabao's tone was slightly surprised. The array he discovered was not of a high grade, only First-Tier Supreme-Grade.

However, the person who set up the formation had a unique idea, integrating the illusion array into the room almost seamlessly.

Fortunately, the Sect Leader Kang Da came here is a rare cultivator in Shannan Circuit who is skilled in pupil techniques; otherwise, even if Chu Yanran and the Daoist Black Shoes, who have higher cultivation levels, came, they would most likely have returned empty-handed.

Sect Leader Kang Da has always been clueless about formations, like trying to blow out a fire with a rolling pin. Fortunately, even First-Tier Supreme-Grade can't withstand more than a few Golden Light.

The illusion array dissipated, revealing a small, exquisitely crafted leather box, presumably for the female cultivator.

This leather box is merely for show; it is not a magical Law Artifact. In the cultivation world, only a few female cultivators would use such a flashy but impractical item. Its owner must have used an external illusion array to lock the leather box, which is why Sect Leader Kang Da opened it easily without much effort.

"Eh, is it a book?" This book is no ordinary object; it's accompanied by a Law Artifact- grade book pick, making it even more precious.

Faced with his hard-won find, Kang Dabao became somewhat excited. He carefully used his divine sense to open the book cover and saw a row of exquisitely beautiful titles:

"Register of Mountain South's Beauties?? This is an erotic painting?!"

The book they had finally found turned out to be neither a secret technique nor a Cultivation Method film. This dramatic turn of events left Sect Leader Kang Da with mixed feelings.

At this moment, he couldn't say whether he was happy or frustrated. With the thought that he'd already flipped through it all, Kang Dabao solemnly picked up the book again, turned to the title page, and there it was again: [The following is a separate, unrelated sentence:]

May we always be as happy as fish and water, growing side by side like lotus blossoms.

The writer's brushstrokes are vigorous and powerful, yet humorous. The inscription, "Respectfully presented to my wife Fu Yi," is written in six seal characters, making it easy for onlookers to see the deep affection between the couple.

Kang Dabao's expression remained serious. After passing through the Golden Core cultivation artifacts, who knew what mysterious techniques were hidden within them?

Although the book in his hand was a erotic book, Sect Leader Kang Da harbored no interest in anything sensual or romantic. He was truly after money, wanting to find something valuable inside!

"Tengwen Prefecture Chapter, Dan Prefecture Chapter, Ye Prefecture Chapter, Jingnan Prefecture Chapter, Cloud Horn Prefecture Chapter."

Kang Dabao quickly flipped through the pages. This Exalted Cultivator Guanyu was quite skilled; he had included all twenty-six prefectures and counties of Shannan Circuit. As he flipped through the book faster and faster, the Sect Leader Kang Da also gained a lot of knowledge.

Everyone knows that Exalted Cultivator Guanyu and array formations, but who would have thought that this old man could also paint such exquisite paintings?

This painting album drawn by Golden Core cultivator is different from those sold in the corners of bookstores. It is not only a painting album, but also a Law Artifact for storage. The contents are not the secret erotic art that Sect Leader Kang Da thought, but a beautiful painting album recording the beauties of Mountain South two or three hundred years ago.

However, Exalted Cultivator Guanyu clearly had a close relationship with these female cultivators in the painting album, because in addition to the footnotes of their family background, name, cultivation method, Cultivation Method, each of the beautiful women's paintings that made people's blood boil also usually included a personal item of theirs.

The hairpins and hair ornaments were ordinary, and the handkerchiefs and gauze scarves were even more plain. The most numerous items included were the various small garments, each uniquely styled and vying for attention.

Kang Dabao had never seen so many undergarments before: square, round, diamond-shaped, fan- Ruyi, ruyi-shaped, pagoda-shaped, with openwork in the middle and only a few silk threads woven in.

Even after Sect Leader Kang Da had almost finished flipping through the thick sketchbook and carefully examined each piece of clothing, he still couldn't find the Spirit Artifact, elixirs, puppets, or secret techniques he desired.

This made him frown even more deeply, and he sighed softly, "This really is just a book of beauties? It doesn't even contain a single useful spiritual item?"

The cultivation of the Golden Core stage is still far beyond the reach of a small sect like Chongming Sect. Sect Leader Kang Da had no idea that the Exalted Cultivator Guanyu was so romantic.

"If the beauties in this book were alive today, they would at least be Golden Core cultivators, and might even be Nascent Soul True Person. I wonder what kind of sentiment it is that Exalted Cultivator Guanyu gave this book to his wife."

Kang Dabao sighed, and the sketchbook finally turned to the last page, which featured a stunningly beautiful female cultivator with a fair complexion and voluptuous figure.

Her beauty was so striking that even the Sect Leader Kang Da, who had read through over a hundred beauties before finally reaching this spot, couldn't help but be captivated and, almost as if possessed, began to carefully examine her features.

"My wife, Fu Yi, is the daughter of the She Household of Tengwen Prefecture in Shannan Circuit. Her beauty rivals that of a lotus and puts even the peony to shame; she is truly the most beautiful woman in Mountain South!"

Upon seeing this, Kang Dabao chuckled to himself, thinking, "This 'Exalted Cultivator Guanyu' has quite a tactic—the technique of praising by first criticizing. It might work well for wooing women."

After carefully reflecting on the experience, Kang Dabao felt he had benefited greatly and put down the sketchbook.

Besides the portrait of the wife named "Fu Yi" Exalted Cultivator Guanyu the last page, there is also a palm-sized, extremely rough yet very tough old silk.

It's not hard to tell that this is a map. "Jade-Acquiring Pavilion?" Kang Dabao recognized the seal script on it.

"Another treasure hunt?!" Sect Leader Kang Da muttered, showing little interest. He examined the old silk scroll and easily spotted a line of small, colloquial characters written on the back:

"Fu Yi my wife. Once I find the Great Expansion Jade Huang in the outer sea, I will return immediately to help you. Rest assured, you will definitely succeed as the next Fearless Tower!"

"The Fearless Tower?" Kang Dabao exclaimed in shock, picking up the sketchbook and flipping to the last page to examine it closely. "So, this naked woman in the picture might actually be the current Fearless Tower, Golden Core cultivator?!"

Sect Leader Kang Da was immediately terrified, sweat beading on his forehead and his heart turning ice-cold. He dared not look any further. He quickly put the sketchbook and old silk into the deepest part of his Storage Bag, determined never to take them out again.

The sound of Golden Light bombarding the spiritual barrier echoed in the room, but before Kang Dabao could break through the barrier, the Mountain-Viewing Cave began to shake violently.

The Sect Leader Kang Da stopped what he was doing and sighed, "Even though we rushed, we were still a step too late. We've missed the chance to find the Golden Core Formation Pill!"

This fifteen-day trip to Mountain-Viewing Cave has finally come to an end.
