Killing Dao Fruit
Chapter 54 - 52: Yellow and White Refining, Killing Dao Fruit!

Chapter 54: Chapter 52: Yellow and White Refining, Killing Dao Fruit!

"Perfect match!"

However, at first, Wang Yuan felt a burst of instinctive joy, yet he almost immediately realized that he was not the perfectly matched "Thief Cat," Cui Tong.

Although the Daoist skill was appealing, he was not going to be completely blinded by it.

He even started to feel a sense of alarm inside.

Yet, on his face, he went along with Cui Tong’s emotions, naturally brimming with excitement.

Looking at the exceptionally beautiful woman who lay lazily on the couch like a cat, lifting one of her fair, delicate legs, and staring intently at him with keen, excited eyes, he said excitedly,

"Lady Peach Fairy, may I choose this ’Summoning and Chasing Technique’?"

Upon hearing this, Lady Peach Fairy looked flirtatious, with a smile that was not quite a smile, and ambiguously refused,

"Brother Cui, you really are greedy, aren’t you? We said there’s only one reward. Unless..."

She quickly stretched out her slender jade hand and gently scratched the palm of his hand.

Wang Yuan’s face showed conflict, but his mind was clear as a mirror.

The bigger the investment, the greater the return he expected.

As a Red Seal Mage proficient in mysterious Daoist skills, Lady Peach Fairy must possess more techniques than these.

The ’Summoning and Chasing Technique’ was clearly tailor-made for "Thief Cat" Cui Tong, most likely prepared to manipulate him for some unspeakable personal matter.

It was like Master Ge having the ’Tame Bird Skill’ but deliberately not giving it to the Wild Dog Taoist, and instead giving him the ’Transformation into Tiger Technique’ for temporary use.

Plus this obvious seduction, it seemed she didn’t mind letting Cui Tong take some real advantage.

But how could Wang Yuan dare to agree?

To know that Liu Yunhe, who had never even enjoyed a skin-to-skin touch, had been drained into a dry corpse, if he comfortably accepted these benefits, the risk would probably be unbearable.

Moreover, Wang Yuan had already broken through to the second realm, "Non-Human," reducing Cui Tong’s impact on him in terms of martial prowess considerably.

To come here and sell his life for these would be a loss not worth the gain.

He simply continued to look further into the book.

Lady Peach Fairy didn’t realize she had ventured into the wrong temple, and in "Cui Tong’s" eyes, she had become a flood beast to be avoided at all costs.

She slightly furrowed her beautiful brows.

This meticulously designed huge surprise and disappointment, taking turns, had all failed to break through Cui Tong’s mental barriers, triggering his passions and desires.

The ’Divine Power Talisman’ created through the ’Human-Faced Peach Immortal Skill’ showed no response, unable to secretly plant a trap in his heart.

’The resilience of this man’s mind is nearly unmatched by anyone I’ve encountered in my life.

However, probably only such a person could potentially resolve this crisis I face.

I shall throw out that great secret. Immortality, ’Heavenly Book Mysterious,’ I don’t believe you can remain unmoved!’

Wang Yuan then realized that since the main dish was prepared upfront, the following items were merely some trivial entrées.

Mainly seven to eight alchemy recipes used for Yellow and White Refining.

But it was clear that Master Ge, well-known on the path for his alchemy skills, had passed on several pill recipes to Lady Peach Fairy that were clearly superior to the Jianghu pills recorded in the Wild Dog Taoist’s book.

Especially one recipe for ’Thunderclap Merged Pills,’ which indeed left Wang Yuan feeling quite impressed.

This was a method for refining ’Thunderclaps’ that used various types of finished pills or pill residues.

In this era when Daoist skills were widely honored, and Taoists everywhere were refining lead and mercury, the development of gunpowder was naturally far superior compared to Wang Yuan’s previous life.

Thunderclaps were also an important means of combat for the Red Seal Mages, next to the Talisman.

Each sect had its own unique essential skills.

This ’Thunderclap Merged Pills’ recipe originated from the major school in the world, ’Taiyin Xuanbing Dao,’ belonging to ’Mystical Weapon Temple.’

It was completely indiscriminate about materials, regardless of their Yin Yang or Five Elements affiliation, as long as the essence was chaotic enough, even a stone could be refined into a mighty ’Mixed Element Thunderclap.’

The moment he saw this technique, the first raw material Wang Yuan thought of was the remnant ’Rashamon Bone’ left from decomposing ’Human Face Painting.’

What would be the power if these ’Deceit Objects’ were turned into Thunderclaps?

Probably, the more fish caught with ’Rashamon Bone,’ the stronger the ’Mixed Element Thunderclaps’ that could be created.

Moreover, as long as he continued to decompose ’Deceit Objects,’ the ’Rashamon Bone’ residue would be unending, completely removing worries about the supply of raw materials.

Wang Yuan seemed to see an upgraded version of equipment beckoning him, beyond the traditional "Knockout Drug, Brick, Quicklime" trio.

For him, obtaining this ’Thunderclap Merged Pills’ method would be an extremely profitable trade, far more practical than any ’Summoning and Chasing Technique.’

Wang Yuan’s gaze lingered here just a little longer, immediately catching Lady Peach Fairy’s attention.

Eager to start a conversation, she spoke with deep meaning,

"What, Brother Cui, are you also interested in the Yellow and White Techniques?"

"In fact, these are just some scattered and incomplete formulas collected by my master, but the Yellow and White Refining Technique which is directly inherited from Peach God Tao is truly unparalleled in the world!"

The female sorcerer spoke with pride.

However, this time, when she mentioned "my master" and "Peach God Tao," a hint of gloom that wasn’t there before quietly appeared between her brows, along with a trace of deep-seated fear.

Wang Yuan’s focus was clearly not on her at the moment; his mind was constantly occupied by what she had earlier mentioned about initiating the "Killing Banquet" and brewing the "Unspeakable."

Thus, using the topic of "Yellow and White Techniques," he tentatively asked:

"I, Cui, am but a humble recluse, with limited knowledge.

I would like to ask Lady Peach Fairy, since the Yellow and White Refining Technique of the Peach God Tao is unmatched, I wonder if there exists an elixir in the world that grants immortality?"

The familiar sense of déjà vu from the mention of brewing the "Unspeakable" with countless lives made Wang Yuan unconsciously generate many associations.

And each of these associations was related to "immortality."

Who could resist such a temptation?

It was only natural for Cui Tong to inquire eagerly.

"Heh, there naturally exists an elixir that grants immortality.

Within my ’Peach God Tao,’ there is a branch called the ’Medicine Immortal Sect,’ which possesses three fundamental immortal formulas in succession.

The first, [Immortal Elixir], is concocted from hundreds of herbs to extract their essence, with prayers at different times of the day dedicated to the West Queen Holy Mother; it can be completed after a year.

Consumption of it allows one to enter the rank of Red Seal Mage, extending life by ten years beyond one’s natural lifespan.

The second, [Penglai Immortal Formula], involves refining jade essence and metals for twelve years without interruption. Consuming it allows one to attain the rank of Yellow Seal Sage, extending life by thirty years beyond the natural lifespan.

The third, [Yaochi Immortal Formula], the materials are not clear, but refining it for a cycle of sixty years allows one to advance to the rank of Green Seal Sage, further extending life by a cycle beyond the natural lifespan..."

Seeing that Wang Yuan was listening engrossed, Lady Peach Fairy finally released the bombshell that was meant to be her finishing move.

"Everyone knows that a perfect and flawless [Dao Fruit of Immortality] is hard to obtain. Throughout the centuries in Red County Shenzhou, only a handful of sages have achieved the status of Corpse Dissection Immortal.

But there is another cheaper method circulating in the world.

As long as one can get through the ’Killing Banquet’, brewing a cup of ’Unspeakable’, and drink it, they can, with the essence of the Divine Power Talisman which has the same source, steal a [Killing Dao Fruit] from the ’Undying Tree’!

Magicians who obtain it can achieve immortality, and the [Deceit Objects], not only can they survive alongside the world, but they can also return to their original forms and fully recover their spiritual wisdom."

By this point, Lady Peach Fairy was reaching the end of her rope:

"Brother Cui, I know what you are thinking, and I can tell you explicitly.

Yes, to obtain such a treasure, what I need relies precisely on the ’Killing Banquet’ I mentioned earlier.

And the materials required are countless living humans!

Using Ignorant People, Mortals, Common People, Saints, and Scholars—the five categories of people as the five grains, plus a special ’Elixir’ that acts like yeast or catalyst, can brew it."

"Immortality? Killing Dao Fruit? The materials are countless living humans?"

Wang Yuan was startled, as if a peal of thunder had exploded in his mind, leaving him frozen on the spot.

Lady Peach Fairy gently clapped her hands.

Bang!

The bedroom door suddenly closed, plants grew outside, layer upon layer covering the doors and windows, completely isolating the inside from the outside.

She pulled Wang Yuan by the hand, making him sit back on the long couch.

"Mr. Cui!"

A fragrance wafted through the air as Lady Peach Fairy, dressed in only a light silk robe, nestled into Wang Yuan’s arms, tightly wrapping her arms around his neck.

Their skin made contact, momentarily stirring his heart.

If bandits saw this—the Lady Peach Fairy, whom they believed to be desecrated by a mere glance from any other man, now throwing herself into the arms of another—would probably rush in and perish together with Wang Yuan.

At that moment, Wang Yuan’s body was stiff, yet his mind wavered uncontrollably.

It seemed as if something was about to grow from his brow point, but it was firmly suppressed by the "Small Book of Life and Death."

Wang Yuan wasn’t too panicked, for he gradually understood the situation.

Earlier on the mountain, the Daoist Skill reward mentioned by the other party, along with the casually revealed "Killing Banquet" and "Unspeakable," were all deliberately laid out as bait.

The goal was to make him come here for a nocturnal meeting without raising any suspicion.

No matter what the demoness intended to do, she would likely give him an answer soon.

However, at the next moment.

Wang Yuan unexpectedly noticed that the ruthless Red Seal Mage in his arms was trembling slightly, almost like a frightened little rabbit.

"Lady Peach Fairy?"

Then he heard Lady Peach Fairy suddenly sobbing, blurting out unexpectedly:

"Wu wu wu... Just now, I discovered that the Ganoderma clone gifted by my senior brother before I came down the mountain... is dead!"
