"Fang Immortal Taoist Master, you’ve finally arrived."
Fang Xi greeted the young man as he approached with grace, a smile on his face.
Essentially, he had made a trade with Fang Immortal Taoist Master.
In exchange for helping him escape, they traded the revised version of the Triphasic Destroying Origin Skill, the experience of breaking through Returning to Emptiness, as well as Immortal Jade and True demon qi!
Fang Immortal Taoist Master tossed over a pitch-black jade bottle and a jade slip, "True demon qi and the cultivation technique are in here... Hurry and activate the teleportation array."
"It seems... you’re indeed in a hurry."
Fang Xi’s expression became serious, and after briefly inspecting the items, he was satisfied and put them away, then waved his hand and cast a magic spell.
The Super Teleportation Array immediately roared to life, its array patterns flickered brightly.
Fang Immortal Taoist Master trusted Fang Xi completely, standing directly at the core of the teleportation array.
’It’s a pity... I was thinking if Fang Immortal Taoist Master had some free time, he could also help me kill that Returning to Emptiness leader of the Heaven Crowd Camp...’
He never liked using a chicken to scare the monkeys, he only liked using a monkey to scare the chickens!
Once Prime Taoist Gu’s backing is gone, just a mere Transcendent God, there are plenty of ways to kill him!
Fang Xi’s expression showed a hint of regret, but he did not dare to delay.
Fang Immortal Taoist Master was in such a hurry; could it mean that the pursuers were right on their heels?
Thus, every moment spent was a moment of risk!
"Sir, take care on your journey!"
Fang Xi clasped his hands and struck the Super Teleportation Array with a beam of light.
Boom!
Silver light flashed, turning countless Phoenix Seal Scripts into a storm that engulfed Fang Immortal Taoist Master, swallowing him whole.
Whoosh!
Void shattered, as if struck by silver lightning.
Fang Immortal Taoist Master’s figure abruptly vanished from sight!
Seeing that there was no one above the Super Teleportation Array, Fang Xi no longer hesitated. Opening his mouth, he spewed out six streams of Demon Flames.
The terrifying pitch-black flames fell upon the array, instantly engulfing the great structure.
The inexorable flames wrapped in light and heat turned the Super Teleportation Array to ash in an instant.
As for the Space Node Marker of the Treasures of All Heavens?
Probably even an Integration Level Heavenly Phoenix arriving couldn’t detect it.
Fang Xi thus destroyed the evidence.
After completing all this, he chuckled softly and disappeared in a flash of silver light.
When it comes to running away... no one in the Earth Immortal Realm could compare to him.
Litthe Night Peak.
Inside the Dongfu.
Fang Xi’s true form watched as the external incarnation appeared, along with the black bottle and jade slip that had been thrown over, showing a relieved smile, "Good, the Immortal Origin and True demon qi are ready... the Sky Demon Qi is almost enough too."
Although the Sky Demon Qi was scarce in the black market, occasionally he could still acquire some.
Along with the Inner Core previously issued by the old Returning to Emptiness dragon, it was barely enough.
"With this, the preparations for breaking through to Returning to Emptiness are almost complete."
The true form muttered to itself and instantly teleported to The Nine States.
Meanwhile, the external incarnation sat in the true form’s place, continuing to cultivate as if nothing mattered.
Although his cultivation level could no longer rise, he could continue to nurture the Divine Infant Sword!
What Fang Xi didn’t know was that shortly after the external incarnation left, a terrifying viridian figure descended upon that wasteland. Moments later, having found nothing, the figure let out an enraged roar.
The surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy surged as if fearing the might of an Integration!
The Nine States.
It was now twilight.
Inside a massive factory.
Fang Xi stood shoulder to shoulder with Sage Demon Exterminator and Lord Ghost Axe.
"The Pill Recipe for the ’Biyi Breaking Virtual Pill,’ our assembly of pill scholars has already reviewed..." said Lord Ghost Axe, who looked middle-aged and simple-hearted, "It fuses the forces of Tai Yin and the Sun, thus it is best to start alchemy when the sun and moon shine together..."
"It is an Ancient Golden Pill... the furnace fire must be fierce! Otherwise, it will be difficult to melt the Sun Gold Spirit and Taiyin Jade Crystal..." added Sage Demon Exterminator.
In The Nine States, all who could become Transcendent Gods were great scientists.
Interdisciplinary research was not uncommon.
"We have already broken down the auxiliary medicines into many steps to be refined by thirteen Nascent Soul alchemy masters together with the two of us..."
"The various bio-research labs and mineral research institutes have also provided support from large particle colliders to store the refined mineral fluids, which can be preserved for a long time..."
"Master just needs to complete the most crucial step, merging the various medicinal properties to obtain the creative power within, and if the formation of the pill is successful, that’s it!"
"As a mineral-based pill, it will definitely exceed the poison limits... However, as long as there is an accompanying breakthrough skill for Returning to Emptiness, some pill poison can be completely expelled after attaining Returning to Emptiness..."
Although The Nine States revered a natural, green, and pollution-free path of alchemy, they weren’t about to let that interfere with their endeavors.
Being able to refine pills is good enough; the side effects can be dealt with later.
"Golden Core pill poison will inevitably be excessive, but I’ve long been aware of this," Fang Xi said unconcernedly.
The Eternal Green Body is the source of vitality, least afraid of various toxins.
To other cultivators, Dan poison might be troublesome, but for him, it is as light as clouds and breeze.
"The first attempt at Alchemy doesn’t need to guarantee success; being familiar with the process is enough."
He spoke with a smile, easing the pressure on the technicians.
Hearing this, all the cultivators secretly rolled their eyes.
This was the "Biyi Breaking Virtual Pill"!
How precious was a pill that could assist in breaking through to Returning to Emptiness?
For the Taoist Master to find as many as three sets of ingredients was truly a gift from the heavens!
Even the slightest waste would warrant a sentence at the Beheading Immortal Stage to apologize!
Moreover...if the Taoist Master only refines one pill, wouldn’t it mean that there’s no hope for the subsequent Transcendent Gods?
Even just for their own chance to Return to Emptiness, Lord Ghost Axe and Sage Demon Exterminator had to help Fang Xi wholeheartedly, striving to succeed in making the "Biyi Breaking Virtual Pill" in one go!
Fang Xi, however, didn’t entertain so many thoughts.
He stood before a steel Pill Furnace a hundred zhang tall, opening two jade boxes in his hands.
Inside one of the boxes were grains of lustrous sand shining like the sun, the "Sun Gold Spirit."
This material was the main component of the Spirit Communicating Treasures of the old Heavenly Phoenix, later brought to The Nine States by Fang Xi, who spared no expense to finally purify it.
"This treasure is rumored to be fragments from the Sun Star... In the Lower Realm where the Sun Star is feeble, some may fall, but in the Earth Immortal Realm where the seven Great Suns can refine a Mahayana Individual Immortal alive, it is even less possible to collect Sun Gold Spirit..."
"Therefore, it is a Lower Realm treasure highly coveted in the Earth Immortal Realm, and one set could be exchanged for the freedom of an ascended Transcendent God!"
"The old Heavenly Phoenix probably didn’t know the Pill Recipe for the ’Biyi Breaking Virtual Pill,’ and fear it might spit blood upon ascending and learning the truth..."
Although it was impossible to find the main and auxiliary materials for the Dan in the Lower Realm, using the Sun Gold Spirit for Talisman forging so that even Monster Clans with mediocre abilities could create a Spirit Communicating Treasure was worthwhile.
After all, what one can use is the best.
Unfortunately, everything fears comparison.
"If that old Heavenly Phoenix ascends, we might meet again in the future during a grand battle with the Monster Clan. I really should thank it," Fang Xi thought as he looked at the second box, which contained a crystal seemingly encapsulating Moonlight.
This Taiyin Jade Crystal is not worth mentioning; it was excavated by the Heterodox Incarnation in the secret realm of Moon Invitation Immortal City.
Once these three sets are taken away, the next time the hundred-year secret realm opens, Moon Invitation Immortal City will probably suffer a total loss.
"But it’s just a hundred years of depleted production, not a big deal; just wait for the next hundred years to pass..."
Fang Xi glanced at Lord Ghost Axe and Sage Demon Exterminator next to him, his mind churning with thoughts.
These two were researching Taoist Fruit Artifacts, intent on leading The Nine States to transcendence. If they truly find a way to weaken the Interface Power, supporting these two in Returning to Emptiness would not be difficult.
Worst case, have the Heterodox Incarnation continue mining!
The Taiyin Jade Crystals obtained could be exchanged for Sun Gold Spirit, and then used to refine the "Biyi Breaking Virtual Pill."
With this in mind, Fang Xi’s Magic Power surged out.
The greenish-yellow power from the perfect Kuyong Skills formed a wooden wheel that merged the Sun Gold Spirit and the Taiyin Jade Crystal into one entity, rotating like Tai Ji.
"The Eternal Green Body’s perception of all sorts of Spirit Medicine has reached a staggering level..."
"I almost regret that the ’Biyi Breaking Virtual Pill’ is not a herbal pill recipe as my Alchemy Skill could have been improved, and I might have had a good chance of refining the pill successfully!" Fang Xi thought as the magical wooden wheel spun and plunged into the gaping maw of the steel beast.
Boom!
Streams of processed Fire Formation Divine Light swarmed from heaven and earth, taking the forms of Fire Dragons, Fire Birds, Fire Kylins, and more, encircling the giant furnace and unleashing tremendous heat.
Fang Xi’s expression remained unchanged as his powerful Divine Consciousness flooded out, closely monitoring the dynamics of the two main ingredients in the furnace.
"This is..."
Lord Ghost Axe and Sage Demon Exterminator both looked up, witnessing a celestial phenomenon!
Sun and Moon shone together!
At dusk, the setting Red Sun suddenly erupted with a burst of intense flames.
And suspended high in the sky, the Taiyin Star, resembling a jade plate, similarly glittered with light.
A strand of Solar True Fire fell from the Red Sun, directly entering the giant steel furnace!
From the Taiyin Star, Taiyin True Fire also descended, joining with the Solar True Fire inside the furnace.
"Taiyin True Fire, Solar True Fire..."
Sage Demon Exterminator watched with some envy: "These two extreme yin and yang flames, while not necessarily the top among many Spiritual Flames, have the advantage of being pure and moderate... cultivators practicing Fire Attribute cultivation techniques would not want to miss these flames under any circumstances..."
"It’s time, add the auxiliary materials!"
At that moment, Fang Xi could see the Sun Gold Spirit and Taiyin Jade Crystal beginning to melt in the furnace, coming together like a sun and moon under the nurturing of their respective true fires.
At his Divine Consciousness Transmission, various alchemists immediately begin adding different precooked auxiliary materials through the designated furnace openings.
The alchemy of The Nine States excels in having a pretreatment and step-by-step process that can save Fang Xi much energy and time.
Watching those colorful liquids, meticulously treated through various expert methods, gold patterns suddenly emerge on his body, the Eternal Green Body fully activated!
Among these auxiliary materials were indeed many millennia-old Spirit Medicines.
Now influenced by the Eternal Green Body, the originally volatile medicinal properties became much more subdued.
Fang Xi could precisely grasp the change in potency, seizing the peak moment in an instant!
"Merge!"
