Chapter 927: Great Completion of the Five Viscera

Time passed leisurely.

The grass and trees in the valley turned yellow and then green, green and then yellow.

Inside the Cave Abode.

Aaron spat out another mouthful of essence blood to refine the "Heaven-Calculating Gu."

At this moment, the Turtle Shell had shrunk several times over, turning into the appearance of a black silkworm Pupa, with countless Mysterious patterns engraved on its surface.

This was the true face of the Heaven-Calculating Gu!

And in order to refine the Heaven-Calculating Gu to this point, Aaron had already invested at least a million years of lifespan!

"Such a method of refinement, I fear only a Primordial Spirit Loose Immortal could sustain it, right?"

【Cultivation Method: Wan Gu Book Condensing Sha Chapter (1000/1000)】

After all, Li Yao's wife only gave birth to one daughter, and once the daughter was married off, the Li Family had little to do with her.

When evening came, Fang Wuming treated Aaron to a simple meal and then asked: "I only heard from my father today that the Fang Family had your branch, and I don't know how you have fared all these years... This is truly my fault."

Aaron sighed, his right hand forming a seal as he operated the "Great Expansion Divine Art."

Fang Wuming lay on the edge of the bed and wept bitterly, and the room was suddenly filled with crying.

The Banxian Hall Fang Family had a character-based generation system, and it started with him; back then, his grandfather Fang Yuan passed down twenty characters—"Wu, Tian, Hou, Zhi, Zhi, Shen, Xiu, Bi, Yi, Cheng, Qi, Jia, Zhi, Guo, Ben, Tian, Xia, Le, Tai, Ping"!

He was of the 'Wu' generation, and his son was of the 'Tian' generation.

Suddenly, his expression changed; the Heaven-Calculating Gu within his body moved slightly, dissipating a ripple of unknown origin.

After all, for a medical clinic or pharmacy with a good reputation, excellent Medicine, and proper management, it was not difficult to prosper for several hundred years.

Then he saw his age and was somewhat speechless: "Even for a Condensing Sha cultivator, one hundred and five years old is nearly old enough to die... I am still just a baby."

But Fang Wuming was no fool; how could he possibly hand these lands over to the second branch?

【Realm: Condensing Sha】

Fang Xi's eyes were dim with age, and he struggled to widen them as he looked at Aaron, sighing: "You look... so much like my father. But why didn't you come for so many years?"

As for the ninth refinement?

Aaron still had some difficulties regarding Gu refinement that needed to be solved, and the consumption of lifespan would also increase explosively.

Fang Wuming gave a start.

Aaron turned to use what he had gained from his own bitter cultivation; in reality, it was not much better than refining external Gu Insects, it just provided a solid foundation.

Once Li Yao also died, the Li Family's great family business, and even their Wu heritage and imperial favor... all fell into the hands of the Zhao Family.

Fang Xi had not completed his old father's entrustment; perhaps he didn't take it to heart when he was young, but as he grew old and was about to die, he missed it all the more.

"The methods for this seventh and eighth refinement were still deduced by me based on his foundation, using the perspective and experience of ten thousand years of cultivating the Tao... and I even used lifespan to replace many materials."

Aaron accompanied him and shed some tears as well.

After she gave birth to a son, her arrogance became even more rampant, and she secretly caused the first wife to suffer quite a bit of stifled anger.

The Five Viscera and Six Bowels Gu could be called the life's work of Wan Gu Zhenjun, using the Five Viscera Qi of others to increase the cultivator's own Qi and refine a strange type of Outer Gang.

In the farmhouse.

Aaron farmed at Little Nanshan, and in the blink of an eye, another ten-plus years passed.

"In reality... Wan Gu Zhenjun only deduced the Gu Insect to the sixth refinement..."

The current Li Family was even more imposing, already the landlord of nearly half the land in Yukan Town!

Throughout history, among the Side Door, those without much aptitude for the Tao had a lifelong wish that was merely to break through to the Mysterious Light Realm, then make many friends, have beautiful wives and concubines, children at their knees, and live happily for several hundred years... The bitterness of cultivation was not something many people could endure to begin with.

"He is two major realms higher than me... a formidable enemy!"

He saw Fang Xi, and his Emperor Level acting skills instantly kicked in; his eyes reddened as he called out: "Grand-uncle..."

For this obedient grandson to be able to do this for a nephew who had come to seek refuge, it was already quite good.

【Talent: Immortality, Not Within Calculation】

Aaron, carrying a hoe, suddenly paused his figure and arrived before a graveyard.

Aaron sighed, causing the vision of the Five Viscera Qi to completely vanish, and began to cultivate the Six Viscera Qi.

If Shen Xuexing had refined his Gang Qi back then, no matter what Five Poisons or Six Poisons needle Magic Tool was used, it would have been unable to break through his defense.

Fang Xi lay on the bed, his face covered in wrinkles and age spots, clearly at the end of his life.

The Gu Insect in Aaron's hand had actually been refined to the eighth refinement stage!

"It's just... life is not long. Even if one achieves the Innate stage and reaches the peak of wealth, after death, one still turns into nothing but yellow earth..."

After a simple memorial service for this grand-nephew, Aaron could not help but think of the Li Family again.

"That is very good."

Little Nanshan.

【Name: Xin Chen (Fang Yu, Aaron)】

It was just that the head of the household was no longer from the line of Li Yao's first wife, but from the line of Zhao Feifeng.

Aaron answered honestly: "My grandfather often said that a man should strive for self-improvement... but recently my family encountered a great disaster, the family business was ruined, and I had no choice but to come..."

Aaron stood up and thanked him solemnly.

"But prosperity leads to decline; this is the fundamental principle of heaven and earth. The old man lost his horse, who is to say it isn't a blessing?"

Once these words were spoken, Fang Xi didn't react much, but Fang Wuming's old face darkened, as if he were looking at a spendthrift and a bottomless pit.

"This is... a cultivator is calculating me?"

Aaron first looked at the talent column and couldn't help but feel quite satisfied.

【Age: 105】

The gist was that his own father had an illegitimate child outside, and before passing away, he instructed him to take good care of the child; however, for many years, the person never even showed their face, and though he had searched for a while, he found not a single clue.

This already involves the operation of the laws of heaven and earth, and it is not so easy to refine.

In his view, Banxian Hall was the true foundation of the Fang Family.

This Li Yao's life could be described as full of ups and downs, quite like the protagonist of a secular story.

"From now on, in this world, people or things that can calculate my fate are already extremely rare..."

What kind of shrewd person was Aaron? As soon as he heard this, he knew his eldest grandson was probing his background, so he immediately took out a Shou Xing Suo that was missing half: "My grandfather back then... only left this heirloom behind, and now, this is all I have in my hands..."

"Good, good... You have come to acknowledge your ancestors and return to the clan, and I... can also close my eyes in peace."

Very quickly, the cause and effect of this matter were clearly presented before his eyes, as easy as looking at the patterns on one's palm.

Li Yao's original wife passed away even earlier than Li Yao, and there was quite a story there; it is said that she was depressed for years and was literally angered to death!

"This person... seems to not be dead yet, but there is a calamity; could it be that it will befall me?"

Li Yao was senile in his old age, while Zhao Feifeng came from a wealthy family and had her house-fighting skills maxed out, plus she had a group of dowry maids and matrons acting as accomplices.

"Do not... be sad..."

Aaron carried a hoe and walked slowly up the mountain path.

Aaron sighed with emotion, found his own plot of land, and began to farm; he actually quite liked this life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset—of course, if he had a beautiful woman to keep him company during his leisure time, it would be even more wonderful...

Aaron actually only just realized that he knew very little about that wandering swordswoman, and was even too lazy to care what her name was.

He immediately opened his mouth and swallowed the Salt-Heaven Bone.

He stood up and sighed.

Outer Gang Realm cultivators, however, have Gang Qi covering their entire bodies and will never be ambushed by petty villains again—hmm, this refers to Aaron's Five Poisons Needle!

"A traitor of the Demon Sect... Bat Duke?"

"Just now, I fear he was calculating the events of the Zhao Mansion from back then and finally had the spare energy to take revenge, right?"

However, at this time, the Eight Refinements Gu Insect was already enough for Aaron.

He spent over sixty years of time and finally condensed the Five Viscera Qi; at this moment, he even felt he could strike in one go, break through the Condensing Sha, and enter the Outer Gang Realm!

Condensing Sha cultivators only have a breath of Sha Qi and cannot actively defend themselves.

Fang Wuming wiped his tears and called out: "Father... rest assured, if Grandfather really left behind a branch of the uncle's line, I will definitely find them and have them acknowledge their ancestors and return to the clan! I will take good care of them!"

"《Bloodthirsty Strange Book》? A technique of transformation?"

Fang Wuming thought for a moment and said: "Starting from Grandfather, our family is the first branch, and your family is the second branch; we must take care of you a little. My family has over ten mu of thin fields and a house on Little Nanshan outside the town; I will give it to you..."

Even so, these plots of land were not very good, and they were scattered here and there, all over the place...

Because he was calculating a mortal, it went even more smoothly, and he soon deduced most of it.

Aaron felt a chill in his heart.

"Many thanks, Uncle!"

"Good... good child."

Fang Xi managed to speak: "Life and death... are the Heavenly Mandate... but there is one thing your father... can never let go of!"

Aaron glanced at the attribute column:

Banxian Hall.

At the same time, he was secretly sighing in his heart: "I didn't expect my eldest grandson to be such a kind-hearted person..."

Immediately after, Aaron thought of that mastermind behind the scenes again.

"That would be troublesome; in my Banxian Hall, even a medicine-gathering boy must know Medicine... as for you?"

"No, even if a Primordial Spirit Loose Immortal has infinite lifespan, if I play like this, I will also... be finished! After all, once lifespan is blood-sacrificed, the Heavenly Tribulation will arrive early... Blood-sacrificing a million years of lifespan means countless Heavenly Tribulations falling at once, and I will definitely be reduced to dust."

This made Aaron listen and feel quite emotional.

Aaron sighed, lit three sticks of incense on Li Yao's grave, and burned some paper money...

"Cultivators of this world, Condensing Sha and Outer Gang are still the lifespan of normal people, but Sword Immortals of the Mysterious Light Realm can live for hundreds of years, and Golden Core Grandmaster have a lifespan of a thousand years... Someone plotting against a mortal like this shouldn't be any powerful cultivator; perhaps they have already died of old age?"

The red glow on Fang Xi's face gradually dissipated, and he closed his eyes.

One must know that even biological brothers would kill each other to compete for family property.

"Looking at it this way, my longevity is not the same thing as the longevity of a Primordial Spirit Loose Immortal."

This second branch lacks vision and insight; I fear they are destined for generations of farming.

This graveyard was built extremely luxuriously, with tomb-guarding beasts carved from stone, and the inscription on the stele in front of the grave recorded the life of the tomb owner.

The Fang Family also had a piece of high-quality irrigated land on the edge of the town, totaling over a hundred mu.

"At this time, my realm is equivalent to Jin Daoren having refined a Five Viscera Gu; I can break through whenever I want... but the foundation is not yet stable, and there will be many difficulties and obstacles for future promotion to Mysterious Light..."

The next moment, he felt that in the dark, his fate had changed slightly.

He had his son 'Fang Wuming' come forward and whispered a few words into his ear.

"It really did add a talent..."

Aaron opened his eyes, and there was also a strange light radiating from them: "Fortunately, it was finally accomplished today!"

Seeing that this matter was resolved so easily, Fang Wuming also felt a sense of relief.

Hearing that the other person was called 'Fang Tianze', Fang Xi was the first to call out: "Quick... let him in... let me see him!"

Mysterious Light Realm!

Cultivators of this realm, depending on their different techniques, can have lifespans ranging from four or five hundred to eight or nine hundred years, which is already enough to be called by secular people—an Immortal!

Not only that, but by refining the Daoist Gate Mysterious Light or the Demon Sect Demon Light, they can move as they please, fly with their physical bodies, and roam the four seas, which is incredibly carefree.

This day.

Thinking it over at this moment, he could only ask: "Does my virtuous nephew understand Medicine?"

Yukan Town.

When Fang Wuming saw this half of the Shou Xing Suo, he believed it instantly in his heart.

But he truly did not want another burden.

As a man in white robes, he befriended the Hero King of those years, and this story still circulates among the common folk today.

"Li Yao..."

It was only after returning to the town that he heard some news.

"It is actually Bat Duke!"

"Father!"

The next moment, the Heaven-Calculating Gu within his body stirred, immediately granting him a boost and taking his art of deduction to a higher level.

Not long after, Aaron entered the bedroom.

Once a person grows old, they easily become fixated on certain things.

"But I have been hiding out for so long, and that mastermind has yet to act; they should not be coming again..."

Aaron was sitting cross-legged, surrounded by the five energies of green, red, yellow, white, and black; the five great palaces of the wood-liver, heart-fire, spleen-earth, metal-lung, and kidney-water were all opened together, with divine beings faintly presiding within each—this was a sign that the cultivation of the Five Viscera Qi had reached its peak!

"I did not expect... the kidney-water barrier to be even more difficult than I imagined."

"Of course, among the methods of the immortals, there is alchemy; perhaps one could refine a Spirit Pill or miraculous medicine to extend one's lifespan? The life-extending spirit items of this realm are still more numerous than in Great Gan... For cultivators to rely on arts or pills to extend their lives by a hundred years at a time is no big deal..."

His son also looked quite aged, accompanying him by the bed, only shedding tears.

In ancient times, land was the lifeblood of farmers; unless they encountered natural disasters, man-made calamities, or insurmountable obstacles, they would never sell their land, for that would invite everyone to point at their spines and curse them!

The Fang Family of Banxian Hall had also been deeply rooted in Yukan Town for many years, like a local tyrant, and only by taking advantage of several floods and droughts did they manage to acquire the land on Little Nanshan.

"Father!?"

The power of bloodlines, the power of time, is indeed extremely formidable!

"Flowers embroidered on brocade, fire cooking oil... it is nothing more than this."

And having consumed his lifespan to this extent, the harvest was also quite gratifying.

"I do not!"

Just at this moment, his son 'Fang Tianwang' entered, his expression somewhat strange: "Father, Grandfather... someone has arrived outside, claiming to be 'Fang Tianze', saying he is our relative!"

Aaron then calculated the matters of Yukan Town and the Li Family.

Of course, that cultivator's art of deduction was quite crude and was easily fooled by the Heaven-Calculating Gu.

"I fear this person has already cultivated to the Mysterious Light Realm!"

In fact, Aaron even reverse-calculated quite a few of his secrets.

"Oh... he cannot calculate me, so... the aggrieved parties are the Zhao Family and the Li Family?"

Aaron looked toward Yukan Town, in the direction of the Li Family, his expression somewhat subtle: "The Li Family is now headed by the two sons of Zhao Feifeng..."
