The Taishang Dao Scripture was not easy to comprehend. If he could not figure it out, he would drink. Fang Xing had almost turned the huge palace into a wine cellar.
Fortunately, just as he was at a loss, Daphne, who had been in seclusion for three months to nourish his soul, came out. The old man had settled some of the chores in the Sinkhole and firmly grasped the few divisions of the Sinkhole in his hands before going into seclusion to nourish his soul. Now that his seclusion was over, he still had many things to discuss with Fang Xing, so he came to see him. However, it happened to be when Fang Xing was most confused.
After the seclusion, Daphne's human form was surprisingly different from before. Daphne's human form originally had the appearance of a man in his thirties, but now he had turned into a man in his fifties. He was somewhat similar to the old man that Daphne had manifested in Fang Xing's consciousness, but his aura was extremely shocking. His blood and Qi were so strong that they were more vigorous than a young man in his twenties.
"Eh? Old Xie, why have you aged again? Weren't you quite handsome in the past? "
Fang Xingzheng was lying in the main hall of the palace, surrounded by piles and piles of wine jars. When he saw the Great Peng Diablo, he laughed.
In the past, the Vermillion Bird Young Master was extremely handsome. He truly belonged to the type that could capture a girl's heart with just a glance. Otherwise, Hen Tianqing and Magu wouldn't have been so mesmerized by him. After the Great Peng Evil Monarch took over the body of the Vermillion Bird Young Master, he could have inherited the Vermillion Bird Young Master's appearance. However, he became somewhat similar to the Vermillion Bird Young Master.
And these changes seemed to have been caused by a secret technique. Fang Xing was a little puzzled.
Roc King grunted coldly and said, "Isn't it too unsteady to maintain such an appearance with my identity? Coupled with the fact that I've used 106 days to merge my soul and this body into one, and they're living together, since my soul has changed owners, it'll affect my bloodline as well. No matter if it's my true appearance or human appearance, it'll naturally change along with it. Kid, you don't have to worry about me!"
Fang Xing chuckled and said, "How's the situation in the Sinkhole now?"
Daphne smiled and said, "You still don't believe in this old man's methods? Everything is already in our hands. However, suppressing them is not a solution. If we really want to win their hearts, we still need to give them some benefits. The greatest benefit is the passage to enter and exit the Sinkhole freely. As long as this passage is in our hands, they will never have any thoughts of betrayal. Furthermore, you previously mentioned a mystic technique to control the Sinkhole's beasts. You have to grasp it as soon as possible. To be honest, those beasts are the Sinkhole's strongest force! "
Fang Xing's eyes lit up when he heard that. He slapped his thigh and said, "Of course! I've long thought about it. If I can bring all the beasts out of the Sinkhole in the future, wouldn't I be able to do whatever I want outside and rob whoever I want? "
"Such a powerful force, and you're only thinking of robbing it?"
Daphne was rather speechless. After a while, he said, "Can you refine the Portrait of a Hundred Evils?"
Fang Xing was a little dismayed when he heard that. He casually pulled out a portrait from under his buttocks and threw it in front of Daphne. Daphne's heart ached so much that his eyes twitched. He had had enough of this little bastard who did not think much of a treasure. He carefully wiped away the wine and dust on the portrait with his sleeve and gently unfolded it. A lifelike portrait of a fierce beast appeared in front of him …
Fang Xing said, "I've taken a few glances at it recently. This Portrait of a Hundred Evils is actually a Soul Dao Contract. Many years ago, the Grand Supreme Orthodoxy gathered the souls of the beasts' ancestors and refined them into an imprint. To put it simply, if you refine this portrait, you can control all the beasts. You can even use this portrait to teleport beasts to your side to protect you from thousands of miles away!"
Daphne's eyes lit up as his hands trembled. After a while, he let out a long sigh and said, "It's indeed a rare treasure …"
Fang Xing rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do I need you to tell me that? The three great treasures left behind by the Grand Supreme Orthodoxy, the Taishang Dao Scripture, the Portrait of a Hundred Evils, and the Taishang Jade Book, are indeed good things, but almost none of them can be used directly. Let's not talk about the Taishang Dao Scripture. I've been studying it for so long, but the more I understand it, the more I can't understand it. As for the Taishang Jade Book, it can only be used by entering one's soul into it. This Portrait of a Hundred Evils is even more troublesome. I actually need to refine the Soul Dao Contract in the portrait one by one … Based on the strength of the Soul Dao Contract, I can't even refine the Soul Dao Contract of a Rank Four beast, let alone the others … "
"Even if it's a rare treasure, it can't help one reach the sky in a single bound. This is already very good …"
Roc King was experienced and prudent after all, and after the initial excitement, he quickly calmed down, and then he persuaded Fang Xi instead. "So long as the Ruins of End are in our hands, would we be afraid that these ferocious beasts will be able to escape? Let's postpone the matter of refining this portrait until your cultivation base increases. What about the passage to leave the Ultimate? Are you sure it's under your control? "
Fang Xing picked up a wine jar and shook it. Seeing that there was still some wine, he poured it into his mouth and sighed, "There's no problem. Actually, at the end of the Ancient Road to Heaven, there's an altar. I've already seen it. There are four teleportation marks. I don't know where it leads to, but leaving the Ultimate is not a problem. It's just that it's a little difficult to bring people out. It requires a large amount of Spirit Essence to activate the altar. To put it simply, it requires a lot of money. The higher the cultivation of the person you want to bring out, the more Spirit Essence you need. If I want to bring you out, I'll need at least a thousand pieces of Spirit Essence to activate the altar. And in the entire Ultimate, including what I have on me, the amount of Spirit Essence I can find is less than two thousand pieces! "
"A thousand pieces?"
Daphne was slightly taken aback as his expression turned odd.
Spirit Essence was a cultivation resource refined from supreme-grade Spirit Stones by cultivators. One piece was half a kilogram, and the Spirit Qi in it was extremely rich. A thousand kilograms of Spirit Essence was an astronomical figure. He did not expect the price to be so high to leave the Ultimate.
After pondering for a moment, he calmed down and said softly, "My current cultivation base is actually only at the mid-stage of Golden Core. In other words, if I want to bring those Golden Core Mahayana Stage cultivators out of the Ultimate, the price will be even higher? But that's a good thing. The most important thing in the Ultimate is the way to leave. With this way in our hands, no one can turn the tables. As for the Spirit Essence we need, we can think of a way after we leave. With hope, there's no need to worry. Spirit Essence can always be earned. Although the Ultimate is poor, that's only in terms of Spirit Stones and Divine Ores. In fact, this place is rich in Spirit Qi. It's a good place to cultivate Spirit Herbs … "
"Spirit Herbs?"
Fang Xing was stunned for a moment before he rummaged through a few storage bags. After opening them, Spirit Qi assailed his nostrils.
"I almost forgot about it …"
Fang Xing fell to the ground and said with a frown.
These Spirit Herbs were all gathered from the Profound Region. There was quite a lot of them, and a large portion of them were Spirit Herbs that were extinct on the Tian Yuan Continent. However, he had no time to take care of them because he was always on the move. He did not know how to refine pills either, so he just piled them up in his storage bag. He would only occasionally pick one or two to eat as snacks. Many of the Spirit Herbs had already lost their spirituality.
Daphne immediately felt his heart ache when he saw this. He said, "How can you waste things like this …"
As he said that, he extended his hand and picked them up. "Leave these Spirit Herbs to me in the future!"
"Whatever you want. I'm just taking up space by keeping them …"
Fang Xing's words angered Daphne half to death.
There were still a lot of things to deal with. Coupled with the fact that he saw so many Spirit Herbs in Fang Xing's storage bag, his heart ached. Daphne prepared to leave. He was in a hurry to find a place to cultivate the spiritual fields and arrange for people to cultivate these Spirit Herbs.
However, it was also at this moment that Fang Xing suddenly asked, "Old Heretic, if I cultivate an Immortal Core, will it work if I cultivate an Immortal Core?"
Daphne was slightly stunned. He said disdainfully, "Are you trying to dispel my anger? There is a Dao between the ruler and his subjects, and all things are orderly. The Golden Core is the manifestation of the Great Dao. If there is no difference between strong and weak, and there is the order of Yin and Yang, then how can the various powers be balanced and stable? Whether it is humans, demons, or demons, the principles of the Dao of alchemy are shockingly similar. That is, Dan is like the universe, and Core Formation is like ruling the world. Many cultivators will go to the mortal world to understand the principles before they form their Core to understand the principles of Dan is like the universe. To put it bluntly, it's like this old man helping you manage the Ultimate. If we don't teach them who is superior and who is inferior, wouldn't it be a mess when they start fighting? "
Fang Xing naturally understood that what he said made sense. However, he still did not give up. He asked again, "Is there no way to combine all the powers into one?"
Daphne sighed and asked Fang Xing, "I know you don't like to cultivate Dao, but I also want to ask you a simple question. Do you know what is the most important thing in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth? It is balance. In fact, whether it is the Single Law Pill or the legendary Great Sage Pill, the most important thing is balance. The Single Law Pill only cultivates one power and suppresses all others, so it is the most balanced and the simplest. The Great Sage Pill not only needs these nine powers to suppress the other powers, it also needs to maintain a balance between these nine powers. Therefore, it is the most complicated and the easiest to collapse. As for the Lawless Pill that you mentioned, first, it needs to create something out of nothing, only using the spirit to form the pill. Secondly, it needs all the powers to flow freely, without any Dao laws. Let me ask you, how can you maintain a balance? "
Fang Xing was in a daze for a while. He said, "There is no way to maintain a balance between all the powers?"
Daphne smiled bitterly. "In theory, it can be done, but how is it possible in reality?"
"In theory …"
When Fang Xing heard this, he seemed to be deep in thought and fell silent.
Seeing this, Daphne waved his sleeves and went back to the meeting hall. He was very busy.
Moreover, the Dao of "Pill Enlightenment" was a process that every cultivator had to go through, so he wanted Fang Xing to use his brain.
On the other hand, Fang Xing remained silent because of something that Great Peng Diablo had said, "Yes, the Lawless Pill only exists in theory, and it's impossible to achieve in reality … But isn't that the nature of the Grand Supreme Orthodoxy? When they choose a disciple, they want to choose a perfect one, let alone their Daoist scriptures. Perhaps, the Dao of Alchemy that only exists in theory is the Taishang Daoism! "
"If that is the case, then I will form the Lawless Pill …"
Fang Xing secretly made up his mind. He did not tell Daphne directly because he was afraid of scaring him.
