In the cave.

Fang Xing caressed the pitch-black Jade Scroll in his hand that was named ’Corpse Refinement Secret Scripture.’

After reading it through, he had gained a rough understanding of the Demon Path’s art of corpse refining.

"It seems that Stone Daoist wasn’t very adept at the Way of Corpse Refining; the ’Heavenly Sha Blood Corpse’ he chose only had the advantages of being made from simple materials, easy to control, and relatively quick to create... Compared to the truly powerful corpse refinings that were said to be almost Fourth Rank in strength, capable of rivaling a Nascent Soul Cultivator, it still falls quite short..."

Of course, those few powerful corpse refinings not only required extremely difficult to obtain materials for their rituals, they also had many special requirements, nearly impossible to fulfill, basically huge pitfalls.

For example, the ’Dutian Demon Corpse’ required a complete corpse of a Fourth Rank Body Cultivator as the raw material.

Then, it would need to find a very rare and scarce ’Twelve Dutian Divine Sha Qi’, along with many special materials, before it could be refined.

Another type, the ’Ten Extremes Demon Zombie’, was slightly better, but the main material required a special life-pattern called the ’Nine Yin Fate’, and then find the extremely rare ’Heavenly Yin Earth Vein’ within the Cultivation World, to construct a great ten Yin Feng Shui tomb, bury it, and after a thousand years it could succeed.

A quick look was all that was needed.

However, Fang Xing found a few types that were barely suitable for himself.

For instance, the ’Vajra Corpse Refining’ required a quasi Fourth Rank Body Cultivator’s corpse and special Buddhist relics.

"Alas... what a pity. If only the body of Wei Shentong hadn’t been taken by the Security Bureau... Otherwise, the body of a Great Vajra Realm powerhouse, right here would be a quasi Fourth Rank Body Cultivator’s corpse, with some refining it would become a formidable Third Rank Demon Zombie."

As for using cloning tanks to extract blood and create a clone, that’s just a joke.

Powerful beings are cultivated.

Even if you clone someone, the clone would just be an ordinary Wei Shentong!

Investing the resources necessary to cultivate the clone to the Vajra Realm would be resources Fang Xing could use on himself.

The same goes for the female cultivator with the ’Moon Body’; even if a clone with a special constitution is created, it would definitely be useless at the Qi Cultivation Level.

She must be cultivated to the Core Formation Realm before the Yin Essence Power of her Core Formation Level could significantly benefit a Jiedan Cultivator in enhancing mana and breaking through realms, which is just too much trouble...

Fang Xing’s Cultivation Avatar isn’t even at the Core Formation yet.

’And... my ’Heavenly Mother’s Mighty Golden Lotus Twin Guardian Manual’ can only have one avatar... It’s difficult to increase the number.’

’I wonder if there will be any changes after this spell reaches the Grandmaster Level...’

’However, before this spell advances, I’m afraid I need to upgrade the ’Great Sun Tathagata Mantra’ first...’

Fang Xing had complex feelings towards this Evil God Super Martial technique.

From the initial wariness to being forced to use it several times in dangerous situations, it eventually rose to the Master rank.

He delved deeply into Evil God Studies and even obtained the Creation Tablet, mainly to research the ’Great Sun Tathagata Mantra,’ yet the results were meager...

After all, even the original Evil God Martial Arts, modified by the attribute panel, should have been altered to an extent that not even its own mother would recognize it...

"Now that I have enough millennium stone milk, I should find a place to concentrate on secluded cultivation."

Fang Xing took out a Jade Scroll and checked the map.

"The Demon Path territory is ultimately a bit dangerous; better to cultivate in the Righteous Path territory..."

This was not an easy task, considering the ongoing war between Righteous and Demonic, with both sides heavily fortified along the borders of Gui Xu Mountain.

To cross the battlements was not going to be easy.

Of course, for a Core Formation Cultivator, it was much easier.

Better news yet, Fang Xing was not a Demon Cultivator, and having no Demonic Qi on him should not trigger the Righteous Path array’s alarms.

In a war between cultivators, the setting up of high-level arrays to sense enemy high-level cultivators was normal.

...

’Actually, the historic places of strategic importance and such, they were only impassable to large armies... because the logistics of an army are extensive, and if they cannot break through the barrier, there’s the risk of being cut off from their supply lines...’

’If it’s just two or three people crossing mountains and valleys, then such strategic points are useless... Ancient spies and scouts did just that.’

The Cultivation World war was much the same.

Those frontlines and arrays covered important areas like spirit mines, spiritual medicine gardens, and lands rich in spiritual veins.

They also prevented the Demon Path army from encroaching.

If low-level cultivators individually infiltrated, they could hardly be stopped, nor was there a need to.

’I am now only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, I should not even reach the early warning threshold...’

’Indeed, having a low cultivation has its advantages.’

...

Several days later.

Fang Xing, keeping a low profile, suppressed his sword light and approached the Gui Xu Mountain battlefield vicinity.

Gazing from afar, indeed, evil energies surged to the skies, with a peculiar Divine Mountain amidst it all, like a deep-sea trench, absorbing the confluence of nearby air currents.

’Gui Xu Mountain itself is an extraordinary Divine Mountain, inherently an Array... coupled with the Righteous Path’s arrays, it has become a place of unparalleled danger, blocking the Demon Path army...’

He just took one look and steered clear from afar.

As for the passing Righteous and Demonic patrol squads?

If they wanted to start a fight, it would be their bad luck.

...

Qing Province.

This place lies within Xuantian Sect’s domain, considered a safe area far from the battlefield.

Fang Xing, with an aura of integrity, appeared to be just an ordinary cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

This cultivation was neither low nor high in the Cultivation World, which meant he wouldn’t encounter any look-down-upon attitudes from the arrogant, nor would he attract the attention of high-level cultivators.

More wonderfully, this was his actual cultivation level, so there was no need to disguise anything, and it could withstand any inspection.

...

A marketplace.

Fang Xing descended from his sword light and headed straight for a bookshop.

He wasn’t very familiar with the Da Jing Immortal Cultivation World and needed to update his information since some of the spoils of war might have been overlooked.

At the same time, he needed to inquire about a few things.

The bookshop owner, a scholar clad in a blue shirt, quickly put away the wine bottle in his hands upon seeing Fang Xing enter and welcomed him, "Esteemed Senior, what kind of books are you looking for?"

"Books introducing spirit items..."

Fang Xing gestured with a hand, lining up a row of low-grade Spirit Stones, "And I’ll take... all sorts of strange and bizarre tales as well."

He was thinking of the White Jade Token he had acquired earlier.

Although he didn’t know its uses yet, even his third-rank Sword Gang couldn’t leave the slightest mark on it, indicating that it was of very high quality and certainly not something as simple as an identity token.

"Yes, please wait a moment, Senior."

The scholar hurriedly wiped the wine stain from the corner of his mouth, rummaged through the bookshelves, and presented several books and Jade Scrolls before Fang Xing, "For introducing spirit items, I recommend the ’Mystic Sky Record.’ It is specially distributed by the Xuantian Sect to its disciples to broaden their horizons..."

"As for strange and bizarre tales, both ’Eastward Travel Record’ and ’Green Jade Wanderer Record’ are excellent..."

"Mhm, I’ll take them all," declared Fang Xing, who was quite generous with his money.

In reality, this was already the seventh marketplace he had passed through.

He had bought a few books at each, and by combining them, he had a general understanding of the unique spirit items of the Da Jing Immortal Cultivation World.

At least, he could now identify ninety-nine percent of the items in his three storage bags.

"Thank you, Senior. I will package these for you right now."

The scholar’s face lit up with joy.

Seemingly casually, Fang Xing added another question, "Is there a high-ranking Spirit Vein cave mansion for sale around here, aside from the Immortal City?"

"If Senior doesn’t mind, you could go to Three Python Mountain."

The scholar answered without hesitation, "There is a third-rank Spirit Vein there, and currently, the ’Yun Family’ in charge mainly operates a cave mansion rental business."

"Renting out cave mansions, very good. I understand."

Fang Xing left the marketplace, transforming into a sword light and departing.

...

Amidst the clouds thousands of miles high.

He lay within a cloud, silently flipping through the books he had bought earlier.

Thanks to his Divine Sense, Fang Xing could read at an incredibly fast pace, the expression ’ten lines in a single glance’ hardly did justice.

"So this box contains ’Xuan Crystal Stones,’ mainly used for crafting Illusion Arrays... and only available from Da Jing’s ’Mirror Sky Valley’..."

Fang Xing took out a Jade Box and nodded as he looked at a box full of lustrous, multicolored stones.

Then, with a slap of his storage bag, a white jade token appeared in his palm.

Both items were treasures from the storage bag of a female cultivator with the surname Nie, and now he had clarified the effects of one of them.

He flipped open the ’Eastward Travel Record,’ rapidly turning pages.

Suddenly, the page stopped on an image of a token.

"Linglang Blessed Land... one of the most important secret realms in Da Jing, opens once every five hundred years, with opportunities for Core Formation and Nascent Soul... entry is restricted to those below Core Formation, and access is granted via a ’Linglang Order,’ with one token allowing entry for up to five people... The last opening was over four hundred years ago..."

"Linglang Order?" Fang Xing looked at the White Jade Token in his hand, "Finally figured it out, it’s like a dungeon entrance ticket... But why should I enter a secret realm, haha... why not just rob, no, purge the demon cultivators coming out of a demon-exorcising and righteous secret realm instead?"

"After all, both righteous and demonic sides can enter the Linglang Secret Realm..."

Fang Xing carelessly tossed the Linglang Order into his storage bag to collect dust.

The most important thing now was to cultivate to Perfect Foundation Establishment and then condense a Sword Pill.

All those blessed lands and opportunities... could go take a hike.

A map appeared in his hands, marking out the Spiritual Veins of Qing Province.

"The best Spirit Vein, naturally, is the Mountain Gate of the Xuantian Sect, home to a fourth-rank Spirit Vein... Forget that, the rest are the various Great Immortal Cities, each established atop a third-rank Spirit Vein. Right now, in times of war... the Great Immortal Cities are under martial law and highly vigilant against foreign cultivators."

"Besides, there are other Spirit Veins scattered around... The ’Yun Family’ on Three Python Mountain is a decent backup."

A family that had fallen to the point of renting out their own Spirit Veins clearly wouldn’t pose much of a threat to him.

Moreover, the Spirit Vein of Three Python Mountain was of decent quality, a mid-grade third-rank.

"This ancestor of the Yun Family used to be a disciple of a prior Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Xuantian Sect. After failing to achieve Nascent Soul, he occupied the spiritual lands of Three Python Mountain and established the Jiedan Family—the Yun Family, which was once quite famous in the Da Jing Immortal Cultivation World."

"After the death of the old ancestor of the Yun Family, by relying on several great methods left behind and their relationship with the Xuantian Sect, they produced several generations of Jiedan cultivators. The Yun Family prospered for over a thousand years, outliving two Nascent Soul True Monarchs..."

"But this generation has faced some difficulties. The previous Supreme Elder failed at Core Formation, barely managing to form a Fake Core. Even after mortgaging most of the family’s assets to buy Core Formation Spirit Items, it all ended in vain. To repay debts and make ends meet, they had to repurpose Three Python Mountain, converting two major peaks into independent cave mansions and renting them to Loose Cultivators... Their reputation gradually declined."

"The current Supreme Elder of the Yun Family, knowing Core Formation was out of reach, didn’t even try. Instead, he refined a third-rank Demon Core to become a Fake Core cultivator."

"If the next generation continues like this, the Yun Family will be expelled from the ranks of the ’Core Formation Families’ and become a Fake Core family..."

"Moreover, is that Fake Core Realm Supreme Elder currently being conscripted, leading a group of family elites to the battlefield of Xuixu Mountain?"

Fang Xing nodded, finding the place very suitable for his needs.

A Spirit Vein above third-rank, while the surrounding cultivators were at the Foundation Establishment level.

No matter how spectacular the celestial phenomena, they wouldn’t disturb his grand plan for Core Formation!
