Chapter 206: Chapter 175: Spoils of War (Congratulations to the Alliance Hierarch of the Southern Sanctuary)_2

One resembled a lion, the other a tiger, but both heads wore malevolent demon masks.

"Quasi Third Rank puppets?"

Fang Xing nodded and continued to inspect before pulling out a humanoid puppet.

This humanoid puppet was dressed in a green robe, and its skin appeared as normal flesh color, yet there was an indestructible quality to it.

"The physique of a Low Rank Third Rank body cultivator, I’m afraid it couldn’t be much better than this..."

Fang Xing looked at the puppet’s face and found it to be a blur, with only faint facial features visible.

"Third Rank puppet..."

"This Tianyu is really a good man, isn’t he? Sending me puppets specially?"

With these gains, he began to look down on the puppet remains strewn on the ground.

However, since he had plenty of storage bags in hand, he collected them carefully and transformed into a sword light and left.

Several two-hour periods later, a flying boat happened to pass by the area. Spotting the messy scene, two Foundation Establishment cultivators flew out, did a cursory inspection, and then flew back in fright as if they had seen a ghost, urging the flying boat to leave the area as quickly as possible.

...

On the border of Zheng Country.

Inside a cave.

Fang Xing toyed with a pitch-black token in his hand.

On the front of the token were the words "Wanxiang," while the back was engraved with patterns like wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and the murky interplay of Yin and Yang.

It was the Elder’s token of the Wanxiang Demon Sect!

"Pah, I have no use for this thing, better throw it away..."

He tossed the token aside with a look of irritation and turned to look at a small pile of top-grade spirit stones.

With the power of his main body, he had already unlocked the storage treasure of the Core Formation Demon Cultivator. He discovered that the space was quite large, nearly four to five cubic meters, only second to the bronze storage ring he had obtained earlier.

In the storage treasure, apart from dozens of top-grade spirit stones and numerous mid and low-grade spirit stones, the most abundant were items filled with dense demonic qi.

For example, several green Yin Dates, some white jade-like bones, and even vats of essence blood...

Fang Xing disdainfully used a special storage bag to hold these, intending to find a place to sell them off cheaply.

In addition, there were some jade scrolls, letters, and the like.

Most were lacking context, with many being cryptic messages.

Fortunately, Fang Xing was an expert in decoding, and with the help of a computer powered by artificial intelligence, he was mostly able to decipher them.

"So... the Wind Demon Envoy covets my body... no, covets the Third Rank body cultivator’s body. The Wanxiang Demon Sect is plotting something, needing to increase their strength, to refine the ’Eighteen Flipping Golden Corpses’..."

"Once these Eighteen Flipping Golden Corpses combine to form the ’Wanxiang Unpredictable Array,’ they can even trap a Nascent Soul... even if just a few are used individually, they can dominate anyone in the Core Formation Stage."

"However, cultivating such golden corpses is difficult; the best base is the corpse of a Third Rank body cultivator... the Wanxiang Demon Sect has accumulated only about ten over the years, with the formed array just barely capable of trapping a Nascent Soul at the early stage... lacking in power, hence the constant urgency."

"If they can gather the full set of Eighteen Flipping Golden Corpses... the target is probably that roaming Supreme Elder—Chu Kuangtu?!"

The reason they were still looking outside was naturally that Third Rank body cultivators were extremely rare, and breaking through the Third Rank bottleneck required talent.

Ordinary Quasi Third Rank body cultivators, even if they consumed the Vajra Fruit, might not successfully advance.

After all, it was a crucial step equivalent to breaking through the Perfect Foundation Establishment to Core Formation!

And there are far fewer body cultivators than spell cultivators.

Most still lingered at low ranks, and Quasi Third Rank body cultivators were exceedingly rare.

"It seems that after I first approached him, Tianyu the Immortal must have been pleasantly surprised by waiting for a windfall... Perhaps he deliberately showed off body refining spiritual items like the Vajra Fruit with the idea of fishing... Didn’t I take the bait? Unfortunately for him... fishing for a fish only to catch a great white shark, he’s just unlucky..."

Fang Xing flipped through some more and regretfully found no cultivation method of the Wanxiang Demon Sect.

He was quite interested in that "Wind Evil Demon Skill," as in his opinion, the technique could cultivate flesh and blood into some sort of energy creature, avoiding most vital points.

Though it still couldn’t compare with the Primordial Spirit, it was quite impressive.

Unfortunately, it seemed that the Demon Cultivator did not carry the fundamental technique with him.

Fang Xing muttered to himself and flipped over to a black jade scroll: "Hmm? God Destruction Soul Searching Technique?"

He took an interest and read on, only to discover this was a Demon Technique with a violent and bloodthirsty style.

The emphasis was on using powerful Divine Sense to first shatter the defenseless target’s Divine Soul, then extract the contents one desired.

Due to the need to crush the Divine Soul first, after performing the technique once, the target was highly likely to die.

Furthermore, the fragmented memories produced from the shattering were not necessarily complete, and there might be missing or overlooked parts...

"But no matter what, it is still a Soul Searching Technique."

"It just requires slightly higher qualifications, it’s better for Jiedan Cultivators to begin practicing, and Foundation Establishment Cultivators are more reliable when conducting Soul Searches. If you’re Soul Searching someone of the same rank, you have to use various methods to first weaken the target’s Divine Soul..."

"Besides that, the Primordial Spirit of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, being one with the guarded divine, is beyond the reach of this spell..."

"Not bad at all."

After clearing out the Storage Treasure of the Core Formation Demon Cultivator, Fang Xing began to organize the storage bags of those more than ten Tianyu real people.

He categorized the elixirs, spirit stones, and jade scrolls one by one.

This time, his luck wasn’t bad. He not only found a "Jade Universe Technique," which was Tianyu real person’s Cultivation Method, but also a jade scroll, a summary of his life’s Puppetry Technique learning, which could be considered a Third Rank Puppet inheritance.

"Selling this will definitely fetch a good number of spirit stones..."

Fang Xing took great pleasure in this as he began to go through the Third Rank Puppet inheritance.

"Tianyu real person initially received a Second Rank Puppet inheritance, specializing in crafting beast-shaped Puppets, with a bonus effect on handling all kinds of gold and jade materials... Later, it seems to have incorporated other Puppet inheritances, favoring human Puppets..."

"A Puppet Master needs to practice special Divine Consciousness spells to ’Divide Spirit into Thoughts’, and manipulate a large number of Puppets... and also be adept at multitasking."

"For other Cultivators, at most, they can control one or two Puppets, and they can’t fully unleash the Puppets’ potential..."

"Um, this book of Puppet secrets shall be called ’Secret Puppet Play’."

Fang Xing had no intention of practicing Puppetry Technique. After all, Sword Cultivators seek absolute purity and precision, let alone the time-consuming and laborious practice of Puppetry Technique.

With that spare time, it would be enough to smuggle a mechanical army from the Main Universe.

However, those three High Rank Puppets could be used temporarily.

If they were worn out, it would be fine, or even if sold, they would yield a hefty sum of spirit stones.

"Unknowingly, have I become so wealthy?"

Fang Xing mumbled to himself.

...

Zheng Country.

Green Rock Square.

This square was located at the border between Qingxuan Sect and Black Sky Temple, established by a Foundation Establishment Sect named Three-leaf Sect.

The founder of the Three-leaf Sect was said to be a Cultivator with Perfect Foundation Establishment, from Qingxuan Sect.

Later, when there was no hope for his Core Formation, nor any chance for obtaining a Fake Core, he had to establish his own Immortal Cultivation Family.

However, the Immortal Cultivation Family’s population dwindled over time, with fewer and fewer children possessing Spirit Roots, gradually allowing outsiders to take control and, with the support of Qingxuan Sect at that time, establish the ’Three-leaf Sect’.

The name ’Three-leaf’ represented the power of the three major surnames within the sect.

Still, they continued to respect that Qingxuan Sect Cultivator with Perfect Foundation Establishment as their patriarchal ancestor, perhaps hoping to gain favor from Qingxuan Sect.

On this day.

In Green Rock Square, an ordinary shop was open for business.

A sword’s cry streaked across the sky.

The old shopkeeper, smoking his dry pipe, stopped his actions, appearing lost in thought.

"This sword’s cry... surely a Foundation Establishment great Cultivator is passing by."

The waiter showed an envious face.

Before long, a young man in a silver robe entered the shop, nodded at the old shopkeeper, and tossed over a sword-shaped token: "I have things stored here, bring them out!"

His voice was calm but carried an undeniable force, as well as a sharpness that assailed those before him.

After arriving in Zheng Country, Fang Xing immediately set aside all other matters and made his way to a covert member of Heavenly Sword Sect.

To him, neither the Myriad Beasts Sect nor the Demon Path’s invasion mattered compared to obtaining Sun True Gang and enabling his own Martial Arts Golden Core to solidify!
