Chapter 501: Seven Emotions and Behind Behind Liu Yu, Soul Transformation Secret Method, In Case of Emergency
Returning to the cave dwelling, Brother Qian Chen took out the broken emerald leaf and played with it in his hand.
This spirit root's broken leaf resembled a peach or an apricot; the main body should be some kind of spirit fruit tree.
"This kind of spirit root that can bear fruit, like the Flat Peach or Ginseng Fruit Tree of the previous life, most of its wonderful uses are in the fruit, and the owner of the spirit root is often reluctant to refine it, fearing that they will damage the spirit root during a fight."
"I originally wanted to refine a miraculous magic treasure from the spirit root, but this doesn't seem very suitable!"
Brother Qian Chen was somewhat regretful.
This kind of spirit root was actually more precious than ordinary spirit roots.
It was just that every time it bore fruit, it required thousands of years of gestation. And the spirit fruit, while very beneficial to cultivators, happened to overlap with the role of the alchemy Brother Qian Chen was proficient in.
Therefore, it didn't quite suit Brother Qian Chen's heart!
But since the opportunity was like this, it wasn't Brother Qian Chen's turn to be picky. He pondered slightly, put his hands in his sleeves, and calculated the heavenly secrets.
After a while, Brother Qian Chen raised his hand, and with a flick of his sleeve, a golden Innate Eight Trigrams suddenly flew out from his sleeve!
The Innate Eight Trigrams had infinite hexagram symbols flowing on it, finally turning into a mirror light, locking onto a certain place.
But Brother Qian Chen's spiritual sense sensed that the place calculated by the Innate Eight Trigrams seemed to be confused by an invisible force, blurry in his divine sense, and at every critical moment, the clues were erased by several ancient symbols, and it even gave him the feeling that it was constantly moving!
"The heavenly secrets of the spirit root's location are chaotic, confused by an invisible force. I can only barely calculate that the place is constantly moving in a certain area of the far sea!"
"Although that sea area is large, if I were given three years, I could slowly figure it out, but it's too much of a waste of time!"
Brother Qian Chen frowned slightly. He didn't believe that a mere Soul Transformation old monster had the ability to confuse the heavenly secrets peeked at by the Dao Dust Bead!
"It seems that the place itself is strange! Originally, if I could directly calculate the location of the spirit root, I would go myself, without needing to tangle with Fan Fan Cunlu and these people! Unfortunately, there is no such good thing..."
For the next half a month, Brother Qian Chen did not wait idly in the cave dwelling. On one hand, he refined the other three virtues, polished his true yuan by collecting Qi with the Flying Cloud Pocket every day, and on the other hand, he went to Feng Feng Xianzi to ask about the Hundred Boats Chamber of Commerce...
With Brother Qian Chen's vision, he could naturally see that Feng Feng Xianzi's foundation was not that of a rogue cultivator, but an elite of an overseas immortal sect. With his familiarity with overseas customs, he told Brother Qian Chen many secrets that even overseas rogue cultivators didn't know.
It turned out that the Hundred Boats Chamber of Commerce, although a chamber of commerce alliance formed by overseas immortal sects, sea nations, and islands, was actually centered on the five major aristocratic families: Fan, Yang, Han, Liu, and Feng.
These five major aristocratic families had a common ancestor—True Person Elder Fengyang!
This True Person Elder Fengyang was originally from the overseas Hanyang Sect and was one of the elders of the immortal sect.
But after the Soul Transformation ancestor of the Hanyang Sect passed away, True Person Elder Fengyang and another Yuan Infant late-stage True Person ancestor failed to compete for the sect's power, so he left in anger and opened up this foundation.
This person had quite a few methods and saw that many overseas immortal sects had precious specialties, but because of the chaotic internal power struggles or the lack of skill of the sect masters, they couldn't be utilized effectively.
So he created a franchise model, actively seeking out sea nations, immortal sects, and islands that possessed relevant specialties, inviting them to join and buy shares in the chamber of commerce, and then relying on the background of the affiliated forces to operate with heart and distribute dividends generously.
Over time, he really managed to create quite a foundation!
The disciples and descendants he brought out became the predecessors of the five major families.
Over the years, the cultivators of the five major families had joined the immortal sects related to the chamber of commerce one after another. After hundreds of years, they had developed deep roots and a deep foundation!
A thousand years ago, True Person Elder Fengyang, by chance, obtained a wonderful method and, with the support of major affiliated immortal sects, ascended to Soul Transformation. And the Hundred Boats Sea Assembly had developed to a point not inferior to the Hanyang Sect over these years. The senior brother who had competed for power in the past also sent people to apologize, and the two families made peace.
In short, this person was a person who was smooth in all directions and had extremely high skills.
In recent years, because the secret method used when he ascended to Soul Transformation had great hidden dangers, his lifespan was gradually exhausted, and there was still no way to break through the life-and-death barrier of the Primordial Spirit, so the Hundred Boats Sea Assembly had been seeking methods to extend his life everywhere.
Not only Brother Qian Chen, but many people could see that the descendants of the five major families, although there were several Yuan Infant cultivators, were far inferior to True Person Elder Fengyang in skill. Once True Person Elder Fengyang passed away, the Hundred Boats Sea Assembly would be difficult to maintain balance among the major immortal sects.
There was a not-so-small possibility of being carved up by those few immortal sects!
Now that True Person Elder Fengyang had not yet passed away, the disciples of the five major families had begun to collude with outsiders and engage in small tricks, making the chamber of commerce a mess. That was also why Brother Qian Chen's certain news had been leaked.
Otherwise, when True Person Elder Fengyang was in charge of the chamber of commerce, its reputation was relatively good, and it was hard to imagine that there would be collusion with robbers!
Feng Feng Xianzi also hinted at True Person Elder Fengyang's Soul Transformation secret method during the conversation. It was said that when he was in seclusion, someone laid out a secret realm treasure in the Sea Market, spreading clues everywhere, causing many storms overseas, and finally, a group of overseas cultivators went to search for the treasure, and the result was naturally total annihilation.
And after that True Person Elder Fengyang ascended, a famous flower building in the Flying Boat Sea Market—Miaoyu Pavilion; a place of dissipation that had operated for hundreds of years—Jile Tower; a Daoist immortal who gave alms countless times and helped countless mundane people for a hundred years; and even a famous robber group.
All of them closed down due to various coincidences or poor management; or they disappeared without a trace; or they were completely wiped out under the auspices of the Hundred Boats Sea Assembly!
Brother Qian Chen thought of this and frowned slightly: "This sounds like the Mo Sect's Seven Emotions and Behind Behind Liu Yu Soul Transformation Method!"
"Using the seven emotions and six desires in the red dust to temper the divine soul, cutting out the split-spirit incarnation, and finally refining the split-spirit incarnation into a Seven Emotions Supreme Supreme Tian Mo and a Behind Behind Liu Yu Yin Demon. There are three achievements in this step. One is to turn the seven emotions and six desires into external demons, triggering tribulations, cutting off everything in the infinite love, hate, and enmity, and breaking through the tribulation. This is refining demons into the Dao."
"Or using one's own demonic thoughts to subdue the two demons, refining the divine demons, and thereby refining the Mo Sect's Other-Transformation Freedom Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Body, or refining the natal divine demon—Seven Emotions and Behind Behind Liu Yu Wonderful Phase Heaven! This is using demons to control demons!"
"The last method is to use the two demons to offer sacrifices to oneself to break through Soul Transformation, but this method is biased toward trading with divine demons and using external forces to achieve the Dao, which has infinite hidden dangers."
"Refining demons into the Dao requires great perseverance and great wisdom, and using demons to control demons requires not only key Mo Sect mental methods but also extremely high Mo Sect cultivation. Only the last method, although it can break through Soul Transformation, has the two demon split-spirits that may rebel at any time, requiring constant suppression!"
Brother Qian Chen thought of this and seemed to understand something: "That True Person Elder Fengyang, he wouldn't really be a pig raised by the Mo Sect!"
"No, if he were really a pig raised by the Mo Sect, they should have taken action long ago! The Mo Sect is very particular about cost-effectiveness. And the Seven Emotions and Behind Behind Liu Yu Soul Transformation Method only requires refining one's own demons to sneak into the bodies of other cultivators, secretly inciting them, and absorbing extreme seven emotions and six desires. Where is there any need for such trouble? It seems that this person is not without seeing through the Mo Sect's conspiracy, and it is estimated that he secretly modified quite a bit... initially breaking free from the Mo Sect's trap!"
"Moreover, the Seven Emotions and Behind Behind Liu Yu Transformation Method only requires using a demon head refined by oneself to sneak into the bodies of other cultivators, secretly inciting them, and absorbing their extreme seven emotions and six desires. Where is the need for so much trouble? It seems this person is not without insight into the demon path's conspiracy; he likely modified quite a bit of it in secret... and has initially broken free from the demon path's trap!"
Brother Qian Chen directly flipped through the cultivation history of the several Yuan Infant cultivators of the Hundred Boats Sea Market he had investigated.
Brother Qian Chen frowned and calculated: "In this way, one can refine demons into the Dao in advance during the Core Formation Realm. Refining the few demon heads one has nurtured within oneself!"
And there was no lack of Yuan Infant cultivators who died inexplicably!
And the number of such fallen cultivators was not small, otherwise, the number of Yuan Infant cultivators in the Hundred Boats Sea Assembly today should be twice as many!
"This is a case of playing too much!"
Brother Qian Chen pointed at these few people and sighed: "A little bolder, I guess these five families' cultivators who played too much were deliberately abandoned by True Person Elder Fengyang to the Mo Sect in exchange for the Mo Sect not pursuing his affairs!"
"Opening up a method of refining demons into the Dao within his own foundation, using the Mo Sect to screen out true descendants who can be cultivated, while those who are slightly inferior are actively sacrificed and abandoned to the Mo Sect!"
"No wonder the Mo Sect that calculated him hasn't had much movement over the years. Every time there is a Yuan Infant-level divine demon produced, I would be reluctant to move him if it were me... What spirit! What calculation! What a ruthless heart! But his lifespan is about to end! The Mo Sect is probably brewing a big harvest, wanting to dig up the roots of this leek!"
Brother Qian Chen, although he couldn't be sure that True Person Elder Fengyang was calculating like this, analyzed it through various clues and the character analysis of True Person Elder Fengyang's various actions when he started his business.
He felt that this approach was most in line with this person's character!
"Bold speculation, careful calculation, great spirit, willing to sacrifice! If I were him, I would do the same!"
Brother Qian Chen didn't realize at all that after he went back, relying on these scattered things that were known to the upper echelons of the overseas cultivation world, he had stripped away all their biggest secrets and trump cards!
How terrifying and excessive this was!
He just casually made a part of the plan against True Person Elder Fengyang's characteristic. First, if he were to take action, how to take this person down!
Brother Qian Chen went out to buy a low-grade technique of the Hanyang Sect, analyzed the foundation of its cultivation, and then boldly brought in the Mo Sect's Seven Emotions and Behind Behind Liu Yu Soul Transformation Method, as well as the cutting-demon secret method of the five major families he had peeked at the day before, vaguely outlining the cultivation contour of this person achieving Soul Transformation.
Then, starting from the backhands left by the Mo Sect in the secret method, he found various flaws that might exist in True Person Elder Fengyang.
Brother Qian Chen calculated that it would take about eight or nine flaws for him to behead this person.
"Go all out, it will take three breaths!"
Brother Qian Chen looked at the nineteen flaws he had recorded. Some of these required refining poison pills with human heart poison, some required refining several divine demons, and some required using Mo Sect methods. Fifty percent of the flaws were deduced through the Mo Sect's using demons to control demons and refining the Other-Transformation Freedom Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Body of the Seven Emotions and Behind Behind Liu Yu Soul Transformation Method.
That Fan person probably wouldn't have thought that a certain rogue cultivator he invited on a whim, as well as some small calculations to prevent accidents, had invited what.
Similarly, someone had prepared a perfect plan in order to prevent accidents.
Once there was a change, he would take the goal of beheading the five major families from top to bottom, from the Soul Transformation ancestor to the Foundation Establishment cultivators, as the goal of a small calculation!
If he knew, Fan would probably be filled with fear and trembling, and also feel very aggrieved!
I just looked at you twice, and you are preparing to kill my whole family?
"Confusing God and Bewitching Emotion Demon Talisman! Completed!"
Brother Qian Chen looked at a talisman with yellow paper and bloodstains that the Daoist Chen Zhu had worked hard to complete and nodded slightly.
The traces on it were like random graffiti, but looking at it made one want to vomit, and looking at it for a long time would make one's head ache, and even have the worry of the divine soul collapsing!
"Three Poisons, Three Corpses, Three Mourning Gods... Three kinds of poison pills: Heart-Eating Nine-Insect Pill, Bewitching God Corpse Qi Pill, Soul-Confusing Refreshing Spirit Pill; Three Corpse Demon Gods: Upper Corpse Ju, Middle Corpse Zhi, Lower Corpse Wen Qiao; Three kinds of evil spirits refined from the Qi of a hundred evils: Fu Mourning God, Chaotic Mourning God, Bewitching Mourning God..."
Brother Qian Chen counted them one by one. Refining these divine demons, poison pills, and evil spirits, with his attainments in alchemy and Mo Sect, didn't take much effort.
"Other-Transformation Freedom Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Method!"
Brother Qian Chen flicked his sleeve, and countless demon shadows drilled out of his sleeve, turning into a demonic light that shrouded the entire cave dwelling. As the demonic light danced, it seemed to have traces of the demon body of the Youwang Old Demon that Brother Qian Chen had killed in the past.
"Taibai Cutting Emotion Sword Qi!"
Brother Qian Chen flicked his finger and sent out six sword qi. When they gathered, they turned into an ice-soul sword light. The sword light was imposing, and its coming and going were unstoppable!
"Ice Soul Lightning Light!"
Brother Qian Chen gave a light shout, and the sword light turned into a series of thunder sounds, getting louder and louder, and finally, Brother Qian Chen gathered them into his sleeve and completely extinguished them.
Brother Qian Chen shook his sleeve, and a handful of ice chips were poured out by him. Only then did he look up and say: "In this way, there should be a few points of certainty!"
He reached out to catch a flying talisman that was hovering above his head. Only then, unhurriedly, did he let the Gold and Silver Children guard the cave dwelling, and he himself carried the Daoist Chen Zhu and went toward the agreed location.
Fan Fan Cunlu did not make the appointment in the Sea Market. Brother Qian Chen drove the Flying Cloud Pocket and flew thousands of miles into the outer sea before seeing a desolate island.
At this time, the flying talisman was still trembling in his sleeve, constantly bumping against the sleeve. Brother Qian Chen casually closed the universe in his sleeve, isolating the talisman's induction, and stayed in the clouds for a long time, collecting the pure spirit energy of the nine heavens and slowly polishing his magic power.
It wasn't until a night had passed, and he calculated that an ordinary Core Formation cultivator should have arrived by this time following the guidance of the flying talisman, that he slowly lowered his cloud head after collecting a lotus flower made of innate purple energy from the morning sun and landed on the island!
On the nameless small island of several miles in radius, besides Fan Fan Cunlu and the two old servants beside him, there were several tall and short people, either facing the morning sun to collect purple energy, or sitting cross-legged to refine Qi, or familiar with each other, standing together and greeting each other! ===== CHAPTER 502 =====
Fan Fan Cunlu did not arrange to meet in the Sea Market. Brother Qian Chen steered his Flying Cloud Pouch and flew several thousand miles toward the outer sea before seeing a deserted island.
At this time, that flying talisman was still trembling in his sleeve, constantly bumping against the island. Brother Qian Chen casually closed the universe within his sleeve to cut off the talisman's connection. He stayed in the clouds for a long time, collecting the clear spiritual qi of the nine heavens to slowly polish his magic power.
After a night passed, he calculated that for an ordinary cultivator at the Penetrating the Law Realm, guided by the flying talisman, the time should be about right.
Only after gathering the innate purple qi of the morning sun to form a lotus flower did he slowly descend from the clouds and land on the island!
On the nameless small island, which was several miles in circumference, besides Fan Fan Cunlu and the two old servants beside him, there were several others, tall and short, either facing the morning sun to gather purple qi, sitting cross-legged to refine qi, or standing together and greeting each other as acquaintances!
