Five-fold Spirit Feeding Technique?
Fang Qi's heart stirred.
It sounds like it's related to spirit beasts.
"Senior Brother Xu, may I take a look?"
"Of course." Xu Xingzhi smiled and handed over the booklet, but inwardly he was heartbroken.
If I had known, I wouldn't have made such a boast.
That's not right either. Who could have known that this Junior Brother Fang could get his hands on so many Blood Pills!
Fang Qi looked down at the booklet, and after just a few pages, his eyes lit up.
This technique is actually a method for refining precious medicines to feed and raise spirit beasts.
According to the booklet, the Spirit-Feeding Pills refined using this method are not only suitable for most spirit beasts in the sky, on land, and in the water, but can also greatly increase the growth rate of spirit beasts, and even have a certain chance of causing spirit beasts to mutate.
Fang Qi immediately thought of the Golden Thread Blood Carp.
Although he had been feeding the blood crucian carp with blood pills, the largest golden-lined blood crucian carp was only at the third level of Qi Refining, far behind his own cultivation speed, and could only serve as an auxiliary to watch over the fishpond.
However, if cultivated with this pill, the speed will definitely be greatly improved.
Keep flipping through the pages with a sense of surprise.
On page seventeen, the last page of the booklet, Fang Qi's expression changed again.
"Controlling Myriad Beasts... Fifth-Stage Spirit Feeding... Five Elements Blood Beasts..."
Xu Xingzhi's method of feeding spirits gave him a sense of déjà vu.
Look down again.
In the beginning, there was a spirit, and all things competed and strived. Before heaven and earth were separated, a primordial energy was conceived within the chaos, called the Ancestral Spirit...
Isn't this from the "Manipulation Technique of Ten Thousand Beasts"?
The Spirit Control Technique was sold to him by Hong Feng, and Hong Feng was completely subservient to Xu Xing...
This technique is essentially the same as the "Ten Thousand Beasts Controlling Spirit Technique"!
Furthermore, the two techniques together are not complete; rather, they constitute a part of a more advanced technique!
Fang Qi made a bold guess.
"Senior Brother Xu's technique is indeed excellent, but I have twenty-eight Blood Pills here, Senior Brother, please take a look..."
To maintain his image as a "generous and wealthy senior brother," Xu Xingzhi simply smiled and took out another five hundred spirit stones: "Of course, I can't let my junior brother suffer a loss."
A spirit-feeding technique, plus five hundred spirit stones—this Senior Brother Xu is truly wealthy.
Fang Qi immediately exchanged the spirit stones and blood pills, and then left with his spoils.
Xu Xingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Fang Qi leave.
This junior brother Fang probably didn't just disturb a den of monsters, but rather a member of a certain monster clan.
......
Fang Qi wandered around the Chusheng Market a few times, exchanging the talismans that Jia Si had made during this period for a low-grade flying sword, a sword manual, and more than ten bottles of Qi Gathering Pills.
Jia Si is already able to meet her own cultivation resource needs through her talisman-making skills.
At this rate, it won't be long before Fang Qi has a new way to earn spirit stones by making talismans.
Now that Senior Brother Xiao was no longer in the market, Fang Qi bought some Qi Condensation Pills for his own cultivation, as well as some spirit rice, and returned to his cave on Chiyu Island in the Jade Mountain Islands.
"Not counting pills and spirit swords, we already have three thousand spirit stones..."
Fang Qi took stock of the wealth he had accumulated over this period of time.
Besides the energy consumed during cultivation, he also spent a lot of spirit stones on spirit swords, talismans, and formations, but even so, he still had three thousand spirit stones left over.
"Selling Blood Pills is still the fastest way to get spirit stones."
This amount of spirit stones is enough to buy a decent high-quality spirit sword.
However, Fang Qi hadn't seen a suitable spirit sword, and the Golden Bamboo Sword was sufficient for the time being, so he wasn't in a hurry.
"Let's try this 'Five Transformations Spirit Feeding Technique' first."
He went to the secret chamber where flesh and blood were stored, took out three hundred catties of flesh and blood, and then took out a blood pill.
The refining of the Spirit-Nourishing Pill generally involves five steps.
"First, refine flesh and blood; second, refine ferocity; third, refine spirituality; fourth, refine essence; fifth, sacrifice the elixir to nourish the spirit."
The specific steps are as follows: first, use the "Five-Turn Spirit Feeding Technique" to extract the essence of the demon beast's flesh and blood, then remove the ferocity from the essence, then inject spiritual power to extract a drop of essence blood, and finally refine it together with the Blood Pill to obtain the Spirit Feeding Pill.
"No wonder Xu Xingzhi bought so many Blood Pills," Fang Qi said thoughtfully.
The main ingredients of this Spirit-Feeding Pill are Blood Pills and the flesh and blood of demonic beasts, especially Blood Pills; Demonic Pills are not good enough.
Having figured out the trick, he began to try the ritual.
Because this technique shares the same origin as the "Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Control Technique," after more than ten attempts, Fang Qi successfully refined a Spirit Feeding Pill.
"It takes three hundred catties of flesh and blood to refine one Spirit-Nourishing Pill..."
Fang Qi took the new pill and arrived at Crucian Carp Bay.
He wanted to see how effective it would be.
The dog tossed down the feeding pill, and the herding dog opened its mouth and swallowed it whole, its tail splashing water several feet high, seemingly enjoying it.
But only for a moment, the golden-lined blood carp suddenly turned belly up and lay motionless as if it were about to die.
Fang Qi remained calm and found a relatively flat rock to sit on, observing the blood carp.
"The aura is fluctuating greatly, but the vitality is rapidly increasing..."
Half a day later.
The golden-lined blood carp "came back to life".
"It's upgraded! Four gold lines!"
A fourth-tier skill is comparable to the fourth level of Qi Refining!
The effects of this Spirit-Nourishing Pill were unexpectedly potent.
"wrong!"
Fang Qi suddenly stared at the four golden lines.
"Crimson blood stained gold... It's mutated?"
Normal gold thread is a pale gold color, like gold powder, but the gold thread on the back of that blood carp contained a trace of crimson blood.
Mutation of spirit beasts is no easy feat. They either need to accidentally devour spiritual treasures of heaven and earth or enter special places for mutations to occur.
It's truly astonishing that a single Spirit-Feeding Pill caused the Golden-Threaded Blood Carp to show signs of mutation.
However, mutations can be good or bad, and they don't happen overnight. Fang Qi observed for a while before returning to his cave.
......
Huang Cheng Temple during the Republic of China era.
Built in the previous dynasty, this temple has been passed down for over a century and enshrines a "Salvation Mother Buddha". It is a popular place of worship due to the effectiveness of divination sticks.
Even in these turbulent times, the place is still packed with people coming to burn incense on the first and fifteenth of the lunar month.
Meng Yusen, the chief bodyguard of the Fang family, had a stern face, seemingly unwilling to come here.
But when Fang Qi arrived, he followed.
However, the two of them did not come here to burn incense.
"Mr. Fang, Young Master Meng, this way."
Zhou Cheng, Zhou Yin's personal bodyguard, emerged from the crowd and led the two onto a small path leading to the temple.
The path leads directly to the back temple of Huang Cheng Temple, where Zhou Yin and Zhou Wei are waiting in the corridor.
The two women greeted Fang Qi with clasped hands.
Fang Qi nodded slightly, looking at the iron gate and high wall blocking his way, and asked, "Inside?"
Zhou Yin nodded solemnly: "We can't be completely sure if it's a stronghold of the Huangtian Secret Sect, but there are definitely Secret Sect members inside."
After inquiring for more than half a month, Fang Qi finally discovered the whereabouts of the Huangtian Esoteric School and immediately came here.
"Don't go in."
Fang Qi leaped over the high wall.
Zhou Yin, Zhou Wei, and Zhou Cheng took a few steps back and hid in a dark corner.
They were well aware of the gap in strength between themselves and Fang Qi, and that going in might be a hindrance, so they simply stayed here to keep watch.
"Brother Meng, let's listen to Mr. Fang."
Meng Yusen wanted to go in, but Zhou Wei stopped him.
Although unwilling to admit it, he gritted his teeth and obediently retreated into the shadows when he thought of what had happened on the Azure Wave cruise ship.
Just two and a half minutes later, two more figures suddenly arrived.
Zhou Yin, Zhou Wei, and the others quickly bowed and greeted each other.
"Uncle Xu, Uncle Jiang."
The two men were Xu Helin, the owner of the Xingyi Quan school, who was searching for his daughter Xu Fangjing, and Jiang Sui, the third disciple of Master Wuji and Wu Zhan's third senior brother.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Sui frowned slightly when he saw Meng Yusen.
Zhou Yin provided the clues, and he and Xu Helin were trying to save people. Meng Yusen, a junior with only hidden strength, shouldn't have come here.
"This is bad!" Xu Helin's face suddenly darkened. "Fang Qi went in?"
Jiang Sui usually cultivates under Master Wuji and is almost unaware of outside affairs, but Xu Helin, as the head of the Xingyi Quan school, knows about the relationship between Meng Yusen, Zhou Yin, Zhou Wei and others and Fang Qi.
Zhou Yin nodded.
"Foolish!" Xu Helin scolded, stomped his foot, and jumped over the high wall.
Jiang Sui glared at Zhou Yin and the others before following them.
They weren't worried about Fang Qi's safety, but rather afraid of alerting the enemy and ruining things.
......
Fang Qi walked through a narrow path and came to the depths of Huang Cheng Temple. After a moment, he suddenly smelled incense wafting from ahead.
Upon closer inspection, one could see a grand hall perched high above.
Upon ascending the ninety-nine steps, the three large golden characters "Wuque Hall" come into view.
The palace door was not closed, and Fang Qi stepped over the half-meter-high threshold and entered the palace.
Upon closer inspection, one can see hundreds of gray earthenware pots hanging in the air, some containing a large Buddha statue, with wisps of sandalwood incense wafting from the altar in front of the Buddha.
"Are you here to make a request or to fulfill a vow?"
A bald, fair-skinned young monk sat on the altar, his hands clasped together, his eyes slightly closed, seemingly meditating.
"If you wish to fulfill your vow, please sit quietly under your own 'perfect bowl.' If the bowl is perfect, the Buddha Mother will grant your wish."
"If you wish to make a request, please prepare your own offerings and kneel before the Buddha Mother to pray sincerely."
Fang Qi looked around, and after confirming the surrounding environment, he looked away and stared at the little monk with great interest.
This little monk is quite good; he's fair-skinned and clean-cut, and seems to be blessed by Buddha's light.
"You are burdened with karmic debts and followed by evil spirits. Why don't you come to me first, and I will help you to be saved?"
Seeing that Fang Qi remained silent, the young monk smiled and patted the prayer mat in front of him.
