Chapter 608: The Fuji Organization

In the days that followed, Zhou You used the trade channels of the Heaven-Weighing battle map to exchange goods with other members of the Heaven-Weighing Organization, trading Storage Pockets, Heavy Talismans, and other items for many treasures.

He was truly having his eyes opened; there were so many experts in the Golden Immortal Dao!

He even encountered one person who had mastered over 30 Nine Cauldrons Seal Script characters, each one comparable to the one he had obtained from the tree gall.

Other channels also had their own fortuitous encounters, more or less, finding traces of the Nine Cauldrons left in mountain rocks and flowing water, and reconstructing the characters.

The various types of characters, the secret treasures developed from them, the methods, and so on, were dazzling.

Storage Pockets and improved Heavy Talismans were particularly outstanding in Beixuan Zhou, but within the Heaven-Weighing Organization, they were merely at a level that made people's eyes light up; the "guilt of possessing a jade ring" he had imagined simply did not exist.

If Zhou You did not have these two works, he would not be qualified at all to bear the title of Half-Coin Immortal.

Furthermore, Ge Bangen was no simple character; he invented the "Superimposed Character Method," which amplified power through the superposition of near-synonymous characters and could seemingly produce diverse and varied effects.

Zhou You, having the advantage of proximity, obtained the "Superimposed Character Method" from him and combined the characters for "pray" and "wish."

The former came from Qi Fengzi's family name, and the latter was one of the characters on the tree gall.

The meanings of the two were close, and after using the Superimposed Character Method, they produced a treasure: the "Prayer-Wish Tablet."

The Prayer-Wish Tablet allowed for praying and wishing upon a designated target, much like a radar sending out wavelengths and then receiving feedback.

Through the feedback, one could determine the target's life or death, whereabouts, and even their current state; the effect was truly miraculous.

However, it also had a drawback: if the target was even slightly alert, they would discover that someone was secretly spying on them.

Zhou You did not hesitate and also offered the Prayer-Wish Tablet to the headquarters, obtaining a second rubbing: *Qi*.

This character described one of the forms of "Qi," simplifying the process of absorption and storage, and completed a portion of what the Muxi Pijue could contain, so his cultivation speed became even faster afterward.

His lifespan had increased to 120, and the "Qi" within his body, through accumulation and circulation, had reached a considerable total, breaking through the critical value and beginning to react upon his physical body, initiating a certain transformation.

Unlike fist arts that strengthen the body and extend life, the function of this Muxi Pijue should be directed toward a certain goal of metamorphosis.

In the end, is it to shed the fleshly body and become a conscious state of energy? Or to become a human-shaped vessel? There was no answer to this question.

Because even the top-tier One or Two Immortals of the Golden Immortal Dao had not even touched the upper limit.

Moyunzi, over in Caoshu Zhou, utilized the channels and reserves of the Heaven-Weighing Organization to continuously exchange, circulate, interpret characters, and increase his collection, rapidly digesting the wealth at hand.

Suddenly one day, the calm was broken: "The Fuji Organization is making a big move today, targeting the Northern Six Prefectures."

The Northern Six Prefectures were vast and rich in resources; Beixuan Zhou alone had eighteen Fucheng, and the Fucheng governed numerous cities. Altogether, the number of cities was at least eight hundred, if not a thousand.

Was the Fuji Organization crazy to be stirring up trouble in so many places? Soon, Zhou You knew the target of the Fuji Organization!

The Myriad Poison Secret Workshop...

An old man with the bearing of an immortal was in the palace, talking freely with Du Taiyue.

"Du Taiyue, cooperating with our Fuji Organization can resolve your current predicament."

"Do not hesitate; right now, the only one you can turn to for help is our Golden Immortal Dao's Fuji Organization."

Du Taiyue still wanted to hold out for a better price, saying, "I can also think of a way regarding the Release God Sect!"

"I am afraid not. Jiangnie of the Southern Palace has already cleared the relationship with the Prefectural Monarch; the mainstream of this prefecture and this Fucheng will not lean toward you. Only my Golden Immortal Dao dares to be an enemy of the Release God Sect and take you in."

Du Taiyue pondered for a moment and asked in return, "Is it just cooperation? Don't you want to take me into the Dao?" Hearing this, the old man opposite paused, then explained with extremely strong self-control, "To join our Golden Immortal Dao, one must have attainments in the study of Seal Script."

The implication was that Du Taiyue knew nothing about Seal Script, so there was no way for him to join even if he wanted to.

Du Taiyue nodded, "Fine, you Fuji want to overturn Beixuan Zhou, and I also happen to want to kill until the Fucheng flows with blood."

"You help me, and I will help you!"

The old man smiled slightly and took a jade-green smoking pipe from his sleeve, "This item is called 'Shadow-Fixing Smoke,' and there are only three chances to use it."

"You light it and inhale, then exhale a puff of smoke that can reach up to ten thousand meters away. Anyone hit by the smoke will be frozen on the spot. Their limbs will be beyond their control, leaving them at your mercy!"

Du Taiyue's eyes lit up when he heard this; he snatched the smoking pipe and asked in return, "Only 3 uses, no more?"

He was calculating in his heart that with this item, taking the head of the one who had delayed him for a thousand miles would be no problem.

"Guangyinzi, there is one more thing I need your help with, regarding the Heavy Talismans."

The old man known as Guangyinzi understood and explained, "The Heavy Talismans circulating in Beixuan are by no means the original version. After being improved by an expert, they can be teleported to a designated location with precision, and their accuracy and speed are incomparable."

"The surprise attack your sect previously encountered was someone sneaking in using an improved Heavy Talisman."

"As far as I know, Moyunzi, who improved the Heavy Talismans, has already arrived in Caoshu Zhou and joined a Golden Immortal Dao organization; it is unlikely you will be able to find him."

Du Taiyue sighed with regret; he was not looking for Moyunzi for revenge, but to get more Heavy Talismans.

Having witnessed the movements of the peacock group that day, coming and going as they pleased, he coveted their power.

Just think, with his poison arts combined with the elusive Heavy Talismans, he could kill whoever he wanted. It would be enough for him to dominate the Fucheng, with no one daring to provoke him, and even the Prefectural Monarch would have to show him respect.

"Give me a few of the original Heavy Talismans as well!"

Du Taiyue spread his hands; he wouldn't refuse a benefit. These Golden Immortal Dao people didn't have good intentions either. What they called cooperation was actually using him to attract firepower to facilitate their own conspiracies.

Guangyinzi readily took out a stack of Heavy Talismans, "Take them and use them, don't be polite."

After he left the Wanli Zhaohai, Guangyinzi's expression sank, "That rascal is not worth working with. I thought that as a lord of a territory, he would have some ability, but now it seems he is already a withered bone in the family."

"Du Taiyue can at most stir up some waves, but he cannot overturn the environment."

"Of the eighteen Fucheng of Beixuan, the local Beixuan Fu is the most critical; it is the 'life-and-death eye' on the chessboard."

"The Witch people have been silent for a long time; the personnel planted by various sects and the pawns of the noble families should all start moving."

"That trash Kunpengzi could not even take a mere Beixuan Zhou. After dying, he even implicated me in having to cover for him."

Among the four capable subordinates under the Fuji Dao Monarch, based on strength, Kunpengzi was ranked last, and he was second to last. Although the gap was not large, he had sufficient confidence to call him trash.

The news of Guangyinzi's visit could not be hidden from within the Myriad Poison Secret Workshop.

The first alias, Lu Zhigang, soon learned of this matter. Combined with the news about Moyunzi, he knew that Fuji's hand had already reached in.

One must know that even Kunpengzi could not reach into the sect, yet Guangyinzi walked in and out of the Myriad Poison Secret Workshop as if strolling in a garden.

It was evident that Guangyinzi's methods were more formidable than Kunpengzi's; the Fucheng was about to face a fierce battle.
