FVN Chapter 30: Demon Spirit Foundation Building
Chapter 30: Demon Spirit Foundation Building
The demon spirit pill was inserted into the flesh and blood, and immediately a cool sensation was felt in the abdomen.
The tree spirit's vitality was incredibly strong; a wisp of green energy circulated, and the wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But what followed was the growth of demonic energy, which flowed between the internal organs and bones.
Fang Yun channeled his magical power, attempting to refine this wisp of demonic energy, as if rainwater were nourishing his entire body.
This is the effect of the Demon Spirit Pill: subtly and gradually changing the physique of the human race.
It has become more compatible with demonic power and demonic souls.
In the end, the flesh and blood cores of the human race will crystallize, just like the cores of demons.
A life force that has been completely reduced to the appearance of a half-demon.
It really is sorcery and evil magic.
"Young Master, how are you feeling?"
Qin Yao stared intently at him, her voice betraying a hint of tension and seriousness.
"not bad……"
Fang Yun opened his eyes, which glowed with a ghostly green light, as eerie as a demon.
On his face, several tree-ring-shaped lines of wood grain climbed and grew, then quietly disappeared.
Fang Yun could sense it.
His magical power, which he had already perfected, had actually begun to slowly increase.
The same applies to the physical strength; it feels hard to the touch, like wood.
Qin Yao scanned the area with her Foundation Establishment divine sense several times to confirm that there were no problems before she was finally relieved.
Fang Yun clenched his fist. The demon spirit pill near his dantian was continuously releasing a large amount of demonic energy and life force.
This propelled him to completely transcend the level of Qi cultivation.
Lu Guishou and the others also marveled at the sight, touching and pinching it here and there, each with their own different emotions.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
Next, we need to find a second-tier spiritual vein and truly begin the foundation building of the demon spirit!
……
Aoki Fairy City.
Like a monstrous beast crawling across the land, it devoured cultivators from all directions, bustling and prosperous as ever.
Using the token given to him by Qin Yao, Fang Yun successfully rented a high-level cave dwelling.
In terms of sheer abundance of spiritual energy, it is absolutely no less than the summit of Purple Bamboo Mountain, the secluded cultivation place of the Fang family patriarch.
Fang Yun spent a full year preparing.
He spent all his wealth to buy auxiliary pills such as Ice Heart Pill and Pulse Protection Pill to help him break through the bottleneck of Foundation Establishment.
At the same time, his physical body also fully adapted to the energy of the Demon Spirit Pill.
Around the dantian, an evergreen tree pattern grew, manifesting on the skin's surface and no longer dissipating.
On this day, Fang Yun celebrated his fiftieth birthday in this world.
He could feel that his energy and spirit had reached their peak!
"It's time to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!"
Fang Yun took a bath, changed his clothes, and made all the necessary preparations before entering the secluded cultivation room.
The floor, inscribed with a second-order spirit-gathering array, was covered with a large number of spirit stones, radiating a dazzling glow and releasing wisps of mist.
Looking back on his life, Fang Yun's memories flashed before his eyes, recalling the past events at Ziqing Lake.
Without further hesitation, he swallowed the Jade Bamboo Pill and the Vein Protector Pill with a gulp.
They launched a fierce attack on the bottleneck of Foundation Establishment!
As soon as the pill entered his stomach, its medicinal power surged forth, protecting Fang Yun's entire body's meridians.
He actively drew upon the Demon Spirit Pill, releasing a large amount of demonic energy and forcibly opening his dantian.
This energy is so immense that it is equivalent to two orthodox Foundation Establishment Pills.
The light enveloped Fang Yun in a bluish glow, making him appear like a jade statue, exuding a sinister aura.
The physical barrier was easily broken, and the tree demon's vital energy was abundant and seemingly inexhaustible.
The same applies to the magic barrier, which was much easier than expected.
The magical power cultivated through the Wooden Armor Technique was highly compatible with the demonic energy of the Evergreen Tree Demon, and the two quickly absorbed and merged.
Fang Yun felt as if she had taken a powerful tonic.
Like a whirlwind sweeping away the clouds, it devoured all the surrounding spiritual energy, transforming it into a vortex in the dantian, shrouded in mist.
The magic power spun rapidly, mixed with a bluish demonic aura.
By continuously compressing it, it will transform into the liquid mana unique to Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Finally, there is the extremely dangerous Soul Gate.
Fang Yun took out the bronze lamp, and the demonic soul was imprisoned within it, flickering like flames.
Even just staring at them, one could feel an immense pressure.
He took two Ice Heart Pills, and all his emotions were frozen, his whole being became calm and undisturbed, entering a transcendent state.
Fang Yun's spiritual sense, sharp as a knife, plunged into the bronze lamp artifact, beginning to gradually devour the soul of the second-tier tree demon!
He was originally a top-grade alchemist with a resilient soul, and this demonic soul had already been severely injured and fragmented by Qin Yao.
In the end, we got through it without any major incidents.
The impact of the soul, mixed with the tree demon's cultivation memories, surged like a fierce tide, wave after wave.
Fang Yun, however, remained steadfast like a rock, guarding his mind and silently absorbing the essence of the second-tier demon soul to strengthen himself.
The evergreen tree spirit roared, letting out a final, unwilling howl before its soul was scattered.
"The tree spirit is favored by heaven and earth, and is close to all things in nature; killing it brings misfortune!"
"I curse you, I curse you..."
"He will surely suffer calamity in the future, and perish in the mouths of my own people!!"
Fang Yun lowered his eyelids and ignored everything.
So what if I die? I can always reincarnate and start over!
Once all three hurdles are overcome, the foundation will be laid.
Fang Yun felt a snap deep within his mind.
Like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, it gains a completely new life form and gives birth to the first wisp of Foundation Establishment Divine Consciousness.
Ten zhang... thirty zhang... fifty zhang...
Ultimately, Fang Yun's spiritual sense reached a limit of seventy feet away from his body.
It covered a vast space, encompassing all directions, revealing every detail as clearly as the lines on a palm.
At the same time, the transformation in the dantian is also coming to an end.
All the mist dissipated, leaving only twenty drops of Foundation Establishment mana floating there.
It is as green as jade, with a hint of golden light, and exudes the vibrant aura of ancient wood.
This is not Fang Yun's limit in the future.
The Demon Spirit Pill still existed within his dantian flesh and blood, only its size had shrunk.
Once fully refined, Fang Yun's cultivation level will be no weaker than that of orthodox Foundation Establishment early-stage cultivators.
"A lifespan of three cycles of sixty years..."
Fang Yun clenched his fists, silently reflecting on his current state.
There are still too many limitations to relying on demon spirits for foundation building.
But he didn't regret it. Fang Yun was already very satisfied with how far he had come in this life.
The path of reincarnation is long, and he has countless opportunities to try and fail.
It took several more months to master the demonic energy within his body.
Fang Yun then emerged from the secluded room.
Lu Guishou and Niu Ben were both nearby when they heard the news, and were naturally overjoyed.
Fang Yun's success undoubtedly set an example for them.
Upon learning the news, Qin Yao also sent someone to deliver a congratulatory gift.
The friends were overjoyed, but this was happening in the vast Green Wood Immortal City.
A mere Qi Refining cultivator who successfully established his foundation, yet he remained unremarkable.
After finishing their business here, Fang Yun and the other two prepared to go home.
……
Purple Lake.
A year and a half later, Fang Yun returned here, but his state of mind was completely different.
He treads on the void, his magic power billowing through his sleeves, riding the gentle breeze, strolling alone among the clouds.
Looking down at the vast expanse of misty water, with the lake and bamboo forests on both sides, I felt an indescribable sense of comfort.
Riding the spring breeze—the horse's hooves are swift!
Fang Yun suppressed the smugness in his mouth, trying to appear less arrogant, and revealed a calm and composed expression on his face.
He no longer concealed his figure, and descended from the sky, arriving directly at Zizhu Mountain.
With magical power surging like a tide and spiritual pressure as vast as the sea, the power of the Foundation Establishment cultivator stirred up the winds and clouds of the world.
Today, Fang Yun... returns home in glory!
