Chapter 298: Chapter 179: Harvesting Sixth-Grade Opportunity, Tier Three Spirit Medicine Buddha Flame Root_2
"Although the cultivation realm also has some techniques that progress rapidly, their side effects are significant, and they are off the beaten path."
"However, these techniques are not termed demonic techniques."
"They are instead called unorthodox techniques or deviant techniques."
"Even though they are unorthodox and deviant techniques, they are still proper methods and don’t cause much harm."
"Therefore, these techniques can still be spread."
"Only demonic techniques must be completely eliminated and no cultivator is permitted to practice them."
Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace Dao.
"I see."
"But is it impossible to eradicate demonic techniques?"
Jiang Fan asked.
"It’s fundamentally impossible to eliminate them."
"Even though all major forces explicitly forbid the existence of demonic techniques."
"Once discovered, not only will the practitioner be immediately executed, but their clan will also be implicated."
"However, despite this, the spread of demonic cultivation techniques remains unstoppable."
"Their spread is even extremely fast."
"It’s like a plague; when one appears, a multitude follows."
The Demon-Vibrating Bell said helplessly.
"I see."
Jiang Fan actually understood why demonic cultivation techniques were so difficult to eradicate.
Although people know that demonic cultivation techniques have significant side effects and are extremely dangerous, once practiced, the benefits obtained ignore one’s talent, breaking through various bottlenecks.
Those cultivators whose lifespans are about to end, those with low talent, those seeking revenge, etc., if given the chance to acquire demonic techniques, they would most likely practice them without hesitation.
Moreover, the cultivation realm is vast.
Demon cultivators casually leave some demonic techniques in various places, leaving many sects helpless.
They are like weeds, growing again with the spring breeze.
Occasionally, they revive from the ashes.
Demon cultivators have essentially become the cancer of the cultivation realm.
"Demon cultivators are indeed a great threat."
Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered.
But even knowing this, it was of no avail.
It’s like the drug prohibition in bygone days; even with severe penalties, drug traffickers continued unabated.
For profit, there are always those who will take risks.
And demon cultivators are like that.
Even knowing demonic cultivation techniques are poison, many cultivators are still willing to consume them.
But this has nothing to do with him, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator.
In the past, numerous high-tier cultivators in the cultivation realm couldn’t solve the problem of demonic cultivation techniques.
He, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, likely has no solution either.
Right now, the most critical task is still to enhance his cultivation.
At this moment, Jiang Fan noticed a storage bag beside the Golden Core remains.
Undoubtedly, this storage bag was the sixth-grade opportunity he had this time.
Whoosh!
Thinking of this, he rushed forward without hesitation and picked up the storage bag.
His spiritual sense lightly swept over, instantly perceiving all the treasures inside.
Instantly, the storage bag was empty.
There were basically no spirit stones or materials.
Only one well-preserved tier three spirit medicine remained.
"No way, this seems to be the tier three spirit medicine Buddha Flame Root."
Jiang Fan’s eyes immediately lit up, feeling very excited.
Honestly, spirit stones and magical treasures are irrelevant to him.
These things cannot enhance his cultivation.
Only spirit medicines and elixirs are what he truly needs right now.
He could sense that this spirit medicine had three to four hundred years of medicinal power.
If only that were the case, then so be it; this Buddha Flame Root is an extremely precious body tempering spirit medicine.
It is said that after consumption, one will be burned by Buddha’s flame, having the effect of Washing Marrow and Cutting Meridians.
There is even a chance to enhance one’s spiritual root talent.
Countless body cultivators dream of obtaining such a body tempering spirit medicine.
Unfortunately, this Buddha Flame Root seems to have long been extinct, and finding it is impossible.
"No wonder it’s a sixth-grade opportunity; it’s truly wonderful."
"With this tier three spirit medicine, it’s certain that my body cultivation realm will advance to Tier Two Middle Stage."
Jiang Fan couldn’t help but clench his fist.
Originally, his body cultivation realm lagged behind his Qi cultivation realm.
But with the aid of the tier three spirit medicine Buddha Flame Root, his body cultivation realm could advance to Tier Two Middle Stage.
This will definitely enhance his cultivation and combat strength significantly.
More importantly, the breakthrough in the Soaring Snake Technique will also bring an increase in lifespan.
This increase in lifespan is the most crucial thing for him.
After all, many cultivators seek to enhance cultivation, break through realms, to extend lifespan and attain immortality, don’t they?
"Bah, this pauper Golden Core Cultivator."
"I didn’t expect there to be just this one Tier Three Spirit Medicine on his entire body."
"Could it be that such a large cave mansion has no other treasures?"
The Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace was speechless. It had thought there would be a greater yield, but to find only one Tier Three Spirit Medicine was indeed a bit shabby considering the wealth of a Golden Core Zhenren.
"You can’t really say that."
"I reckon that in order to deal with this Heart-breaking Demon, this Golden Core Zhenren already exhausted everything."
"The materials needed to craft this Tier Three Array, the Inverted Five Elements Array, are exceedingly expensive."
"Plus, a large amount of Spirit Stones had already been placed within the array."
"Only then could the array be maintained for so many years."
"Otherwise, this Tier Three Heart-breaking Demon would have escaped long ago, not waited until now."
The Demon-Vibrating Bell truly understood why this Golden Core Zhenren was so impoverished.
It’s estimated that to seal this Tier Three Heart-breaking Demon, he had already spent everything he had.
Leaving behind this Tier Three Spirit Medicine was already quite good.
"Indeed, one shouldn’t be too greedy in life."
"Moreover, besides the Golden Core Zhenren’s legacy."
"Aren’t there also the legacies of other Foundation Establishment Cultivators?"
Jiang Fan felt that this harvest was substantial enough. Besides obtaining the Tier Three Spirit Medicine, the Buddha Flame Root left by the Golden Core Zhenren, he also acquired the belongings of Ma Zhong Mountain and others.
After all, these were the entire wealth of four Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Combined, all these treasures were equivalent to a Sixth-Grade Opportunity.
He already felt quite satisfied.
"These Foundation Establishment cultivators were really unlucky."
"Who’d have thought they’d encounter a Tier Three Heart-breaking Demon."
The Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace didn’t even know what to say. Earlier, it had been suspicious that Ma Zhong Mountain and the others might want to conspire against its master, so it remained constantly vigilant.
It even imagined the scene where Ma Zhong Mountain and others would backstab them, divide the spoils unevenly, and fight viciously.
Who could have imagined that before Ma Zhong Mountain and others could reveal their plot, they were instantly killed by the Tier Three Heart-breaking Demon?
Currently, only its master was still alive.
So it thought its master’s luck was astonishingly good.
"Alright, enough of this talk."
"We should return to Seven Stars Peak first."
Jiang Fan didn’t plan to use the Buddha Flame Root here, considering that it was still unsafe.
Returning to Seven Stars Peak would be much safer.
So he helped bury the remains of the unnamed Golden Core Zhenren.
At the same time, he destroyed the entire Golden Core Cave Mansion.
This was to completely erase his aura and traces.
Then he quickly left this place.
No one would know that once, a Tier Three Heart-breaking Demon and four Foundation Establishment Cultivators perished here.
...
Several days later.
Jiang Fan finally returned from the Mist Mountain Range back to Seven Stars Peak.
"What happened?"
"Why did you return alone? Where is Fellow Daoist Ma?"
Foundation Establishment Cultivator Fan Wenli was utterly shocked, looking in disbelief at Jiang Fan, who returned safe and sound.
He originally thought this young man’s journey to the Golden Core Cave Mansion was almost certain death.
Even if he survived, he’d surely have been through hell.
Society was supposed to teach this naive youngster a harsh lesson.
But who would have thought that this youngster would return unharmed, while Ma Zhong Mountain went missing?
"I’m not sure."
"When we went to the Mist Mountain Range, we accidentally encountered a Tier Three Demon Beast."
"As a result, we scattered in different directions."
"So I completely lost track of Fellow Daoist Ma."
"But I couldn’t find any trace of Fellow Daoist Ma, so I returned to Seven Stars Peak first."
Jiang Fan said lightly.
He naturally wouldn’t reveal the truth.
Even though Ma Zhong Mountain and others’ deaths had little to do with him.
But it’s better to avoid trouble.
If other Foundation Establishment Cultivators knew he obtained the Golden Core Zhenren’s legacy, who knows how many issues might arise.
More importantly, no one could prove that Ma Zhong Mountain and others were dead.
Since they were Loose Cultivators, unlike Sect Disciples, they didn’t have a Soul Lamp in the sect’s hall.
Once they died, the Soul Lamp would extinguish.
So even if a Loose Cultivator died, others wouldn’t know.
After all, in the Cultivation Realm, it’s normal for a cultivator to go missing.
Sometimes they travel elsewhere.
Sometimes they get trapped in a secret realm.
Sometimes they hide to avoid being hunted, etc.
They could go missing for decades, even a hundred years.
