Chapter 647: Chapter 639 Grand Success of Longevity Skills_3

Fang Xi’s interest was piqued, and his divine thought suddenly spoke.

"To be honest, if you knew my true identity, you would find it unsurprising that I could recognize the Kuyong Skills at a glance. As for discerning the real from the fake? I have practiced a secret skill, which, though not greatly useful, is quite profound in distinguishing between the second Nascent Soul and the original body."

Elder Yin chuckled hehehe.

"Then, may I know, who are you in reality, Elder Yin?" Fang Xi was curious.

"To tell you the truth, I was once the headmaster of a certain generation at Green Emperor Mountain. I even accomplished quite a bit during my tenure. Later, I relinquished my position to seclude myself and break through to the Deity Transformation Stage, becoming the only figure to attain such a status at Green Emperor Mountain in those years!"

The shadow within the prohibition sighed, "Tell me, why would I understand the Kuyong Skills so well?"

"Impossible!"

Fang Xi shook his head, "If you were a patriarch of Green Emperor Mountain, how could you be sealed here? Furthermore, restrained by a wooden Spirit Communicating Treasure and suppressed under the watchful eyes of the Nine Leaves Sect?"

This was treatment reserved for a life-and-death nemesis!

"Hehe, my words are not yet finished. Although I was once a Supreme Elder of Green Emperor Mountain, I faintly detected an unimaginable power within the Sect... Several times, I attempted to encounter this mysterious figure, but all ended in abject failure..."

"Gradually, I learned a secret, a truth so horrifying... To survive, I had no choice but to forsake all the cultivation techniques and secrets of Green Emperor Mountain, becoming a Ghost Cultivator with most of my previous life’s memories preserved!"

In Elder Yin’s expression, there was a hint of smugness.

Although Ghost Cultivators had lengthy lifespans, it meant starting all over again. The ability to retain most of the memory was indeed astonishing!

Or rather, it was likely that only a Deity Transformation cultivator from Green Emperor Mountain, with such innate talents and the backing of a Dongfu of the Earth Immortal Realm, could develop such a secret skill!

"What secret is it?"

Fang Xi hurriedly asked.

"That’s not urgent... hehe... Now that I still have value, perhaps we could make a deal? You release me, and I will surely lend you a helping hand," Elder Yin said, eyeing the Transcendent God cultivators outside with some trepidation.

Since when did the pinnacle of combat power in the Mortal World willingly serve others?

Combined with the Great Array, it would make him extremely passive.

And of course, Fang Xi’s response was...

"Refine him!"

Fang Xi turned into a streak of light, connecting with many Transcendent God and Nascent Soul cultivators, and immediately activated the ’Heavenly Refining Array’!

Countless pitch-black winds surged underground, leaving all around in utter darkness, and suddenly, a green vine gourd appeared!

The gourd, entangled by innumerable black lines, saw its emerald-green runes continuously shatter and involuntarily let out a wail, transforming into a beam of jade-green light.

But before the green light completely dissipated, a terrifying ghostly figure had already emerged!

With a ferocious howl, it turned into a huge ghast with green faces and sharp fangs, furiously tearing at the black lines with its ghostly claws, trying to carve out a path to life!

Suddenly!

Those ghostly claws encountered a mass of pitch-black flames that abruptly changed into fifth-order Ghost Fire of Yellow Spring.

The chilling flame devoured the ghostly claws, burning them to ashes with ease and then falling onto the giant ghost’s true form!

The ghostly figure let out a ghastly scream, pierced through by countless black threads!

The heterodox incarnation’s expression turned cold as waves of Sky Demon Secret Knowledge poured out. With the aid of the ’Heavenly Refining Array,’ it began forcibly searching through Elder Yin’s memories.

Soon, streams of information emerged in Fang Xi’s Sea of Consciousness.

While most were fragmented, one piece of information made Fang Xi’s face light up with joy: "It’s actually the Pill Recipe for the ’Biyi Breaking Virtual Pill’... No wonder when I presented the Spirit Communicating Treasure forged from Sun Gold Spirit, he deemed it a waste of heaven’s bounty."

The ’Biyi Breaking Virtual Pill’ was a secret medicine that could assist Transcendent God cultivators in breaking through to the Returning to Emptiness stage.

Fang Xi had long heard of its reputation in the Earth Immortal Realm, and now he was seeing its recipe for the first time.

"Using Sun Gold Spirit and Taiyin Jade Crystal as the main ingredients, and complemented by over ten kinds of auxiliary herbs to achieve..."

"This pill is actually of the Metal and Stone variety? Grass and trees decay easily; even when refined into a Spiritual Pill, how could it grant immortality?"

"Therefore, among Alchemy Masters, there is a specific sect that uses metals and minerals as the main materials to refine a true ’Golden Core’!"

"It’s said that apart from the Grass Wood Pill Sect, Gold Stone Pill Sect, and Flesh and Blood Pill Sect, there is an extremely rare Primordial Energy Pill Sect that advocates using various natural energies to concoct pills... Although this sect has the fewest members, it also wields considerable influence."

"It’s just unfortunate that despite this, the Grass Wood Pill Sect still remains dominant among the human race, while it seems the Gold Stone Pill Sect seems to fare better among the Monster Clan and Demonic Beasts, given their robust physiques and fearlessness in the face of death..."

This sort of ’Golden Core’ pill is fatal not just to ordinary people but even to lower-tier cultivators who consume it.

With their limited Magic Power, they couldn’t truly refine the Golden Core and reap its astonishing benefits!

The ’Biyi Breaking Virtual Pill’ is also the same!

To those below the Perfect Transcendent God stage, such a pill is likely more deadly than the most potent poison!

If consumed rashly, the death that ensued would undoubtedly be interesting to watch.

Of course, in the Cultivation World, there are always lucky individuals who stumble upon an ancient relic, swallow a prehistoric Spiritual Pill, and see their cultivation soar dramatically.

But more often than not, they consume an unknown pill and die from their bodies exploding!

"In other words, the toxicity of the Metal and Stone pills far exceeds that of the Grass and Wood pills... Hence, although they are not weak in the Earth Immortal Realm, their development is also challenging. The Monster Clan, with their strong bodies, cares less about this, so the Metal and Stone pills are actually quite popular among them."
