288 I Got It With My Looks
Fang Jinyu was counting the spirit herbs he had obtained.
With the closing of the elixir realm, which was known as the land of refining the heavenly elixir, the sect cultivators of the Nine Desolations returned to their homes with joy. Fang Jinyu was naturally filled with joy as well.
After all, even if most of the spirit herbs that the immortal sects of the entire Nine Desolations took out were low-grade, the number was still very impressive.
Especially when Fang Jinyu had recently combined his ideas of “synthesizing materials” and came up with a method of “synthesizing spirit herbs.”
Although the difficulty of cultivating the incomplete scroll of the heavenly and earth puppet mystic scripture was higher than that of the lightning heavenly book, it could still be solved by using the gains obtained from the system.
However, the method of “synthesizing spirit herbs” was not yet mature. It could only synthesize grade 1 heavenly material and earthly treasure-type spirit herbs into spirit herbs with grade 2 heavenly material and earthly treasure attributes.
Moreover, the method is currently unable to synthesize grade 2 heavenly material and earthly treasure-type spirit herbs into spirit herbs with grade 3 heavenly material and earthly treasure attributes.
Naturally, it was even more impossible to synthesize higher-grade spirit herbs.
Therefore, although the method of “synthesizing spirit herbs” was magical, it wasn’t even of any value to Fang Jinyu.
It could even be said to be completely useless.
Fang Jinyu still needed to continue to develop the method and improve it!
Fang Jinyu couldn’t count the spirit herbs himself, so at this moment, the entire small elixir realm was occupied with puppets. Among them, the cat-eared puppet with self-awareness followed Fang Jinyu’s instructions and instructed the puppets to filter out the spirit herbs that couldn’t be preserved for a long time and the low-grade spirit herbs.
Although the cat-eared puppet girl wasn’t very intelligent and was only about the same as a little girl, because of the puppet’s characteristics, she had a photographic memory. So far, she remembered all the spirit herbs that Fang Jinyu had shown her.
The cat-eared puppet girl knew the names of the spirit herbs, the conditions to grow them, their medicinal properties, and how to preserve them.
However, since there were simply too many spirit herbs in the small elixir realm, Fang Jinyu had only managed to count less than half of them after half a month. It made Fang Jinyu think for a moment before summoning a certain gourd over and asking her to help.
“Where did you get so many spirit herbs?”
The moment An Ruyin came to the small elixir realm, she was shocked by the mountain of spirit herbs.
Fang Jinyu said, “This is the land of refining the heavenly elixir.” Although he had changed the name of the place to the small elixir realm, he had no intention of making it public.
Thus, Fang Jinyu used the way the Nine Desolations called it.
After all, Fang Jinyu could avoid explaining too much.
“You went to that place and obtained it?” An Ruyin was dumbfounded. She was pretty knowledgeable and knew that many cultivators with the “locust” attribute would leave nothing behind wherever they went. However, she had never seen someone who could even obtain a small world.
Therefore, the way the gourd looked at Fang Jinyu suddenly became a little strange.
It was as if she was watching something called “Super Locust.”
Fang Jinyu saw it and said, “I’m not the one who obtained it. Someone gave it to me.” Although he didn’t know what the gourd was thinking, he knew that she wasn’t thinking about the situation in a good way, so he corrected her.
“Who is it?”
An Ruyin was in disbelief. Just as Fang Jinyu knew that the gourd was a bastard, An Ruyin also knew that Fang Jinyu wasn’t as honest as he appeared to be.
As far as she knew, anyone who dared to treat Fang Jinyu as an honest person who could be bullied was gone.
Moreover, this fellow’s cultivation base was already so high that it could even be said to be the ceiling of the Nine Desolations’ battle prowess. Yet, the entire Nine Desolations still said that he was an honest person. Wasn’t it an extremely terrifying thing?
If it was a cultivator who cultivated the path of the heart, the path of faith, or the path of virtual images, they could even break through the Incarnation stage.
The path of the heart was the most mysterious.
Only the cultivators who cultivated it knew its essence. It was widely known that cultivators who cultivated the path of the heart needed to rely on the hearts of others to cultivate.
Thus, the path of the heart was often defined as the devil’s path.
The path of faith was the most contradictory.
It was because the cultivators who cultivated the path of faith were all mysterious. However, most of the time, they weren’t that mysterious. Many people could find cultivators who cultivated the path of faith through some secret techniques.
It could be said to be highly contradictory.
Cultivators who cultivated the path of faith generally needed a lot of fame.
The path of virtual images is more widely known. It was similar to the path of slaughter, the ruthless cultivation method, and the meditation path. It was divided into two cultivation paths.
The first was to create an existence that most living beings believed in. Then, they could turn the fake into reality!
Many of the so-called “gods” in the upper realm were secretly created by cultivators who walked the path of virtual images. However, most of the time, the cultivators who cultivated it were just fooling around. It was very difficult for them to truly achieve true cultivation through such a method.
After all, even though one could refine a fake into a real one, before that, cultivators who cultivated the path of virtual images were all weaklings.
The second was for the virtual image to be in one’s own body. With one’s image, one could rely on magic techniques, divine powers, cultivation techniques, and secret techniques to form the image of his true self.
Once one achieved his true self, he could immediately abandon his physical body and live in the world in the image of his true self.
However, cultivating the path of virtual images was even more difficult than refining fake into real.
However, after cultivating it, one’s strength would undoubtedly be incomparably powerful.
The same great divine powers and magic techniques cast by one who achieves his true self would be five times more powerful than those of a cultivator of the same cultivation base! Other than that, even the true self could withstand the bombardment of magic treasures!
It could be said to be unparalleled in attack and defense, invincible in a small area of the same level.
On the other hand, Fang Jinyu didn’t answer An Ruyin’s question and only rushed her over to help.
After all, it was impossible to say that he got the small elixir realm with his looks, right?
Although An Ruyin’s cultivation base wasn’t high, she was naturally more efficient than the puppets when it came to counting spirit herbs. Thus, with her help, it only took ten days for the remaining spirit herbs to be counted.
“Most of them are grade 3 heavenly material and earthly treasure-type spirit herbs, and the other small portion is grade 4 and grade 5.”
“However, these grade 4 and grade 5 heavenly material and earthly treasure-type spirit herbs can still be cultivated. Moreover, there is a high chance that they will become grade 7 heavenly material and earthly treasure-type spirit herbs!”
An Ruyin came to report to Fang Jinyu about the results.
Fang Jinyu nodded repeatedly. Just as he was about to ask which spirit herbs could be cultivated, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he couldn’t help but look in one direction.
“Did something happen?”
An Ruyin saw Fang Jinyu’s reactions and asked casually.
“Previously, I left divine sense marks in two places. I thought that it would take a long time before it would be activated. However, I didn’t expect that it would be activated so quickly and at the same time.”
Fang Jinyu said it with a faint smile.
Previously, Fang Jinyu had obtained three ancient opportunities, but he had only taken one of them. Although he had gone to the other two lands of ancient opportunities, he had only left behind two divine sense marks.
Since the first ancient opportunity could be the “opportunity” of the cheater, Chi Suzi, then the other two could also be the other three’s.
As for why Fang Jinyu was so sure that the two ancient opportunities didn’t belong to the cheater, Chi Suzi?
It was because the other two lands of ancient opportunities were tens of millions of miles away from the Tianling Sect! It would be difficult for Chi Suzi, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, to cross such a distance.
Teleportation formations didn’t exist in the Nine Desolations.
Similarly, after leaving the devil’s realm, there was no such thing as a “spatial rift.”
Although there were still stargazing flying ships in operation, they were all superior-grade stargazing flying ships. Not only were they expensive, but they were also all operated by the Tianling Sect. Any cultivator who wanted to take the stargazing flying ship would have to pass the test of the Tianling Sect first!
Naturally, Fang Jinyu had also secretly tampered with the test.
However, as long as it wasn’t related to Chi Suzi, Bu Qianyao, or Xiao Youyue, it wouldn’t affect anything.
Fang Jinyu had always had a clear goal and wouldn’t implicate others.
As for why Yi Yuaner wasn’t there? It was because Fang Jinyu didn’t know where Yi Yuaner was. After all, the only way for him to obtain information in this regard was through the murmurs of the cheater, Chi Suzi.
Fortunately, Chi Suzi is a “protagonist” who likes to talk to herself.
Otherwise, Fang Jinyu wouldn’t have been able to easily obtain so much useful information.
“Two places?”
Although An Ruyin didn’t know which two places Fang Jinyu was talking about, since it could make a cultivator who ranked 9 in the Nascent Soul stage, the peak of Nine Desolations’s combat strength, care so much, it was naturally not an ordinary place.
Therefore, she asked, “Then how are you going to get over?”
After all, if two places were triggered at the same time, it was easy to be distracted. Although Nascent Soul stage cultivators had avatars, An Ruyin had never seen Fang Jinyu’s avatar before. His lightning magical powers were extremely restrained.
It was the most different point from other Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
The pressure from the other Nascent Soul stage cultivators was monstrous. Wherever they passed, the force was extremely shocking. In the end, those Nascent Soul stage cultivators were still unable to completely restrain their magical power.
However, Fang Jinyu had already achieved it.
In her opinion, it should be due to the special cultivation technique that Fang Jinyu used.
“What’s so difficult about that? Can’t we just add some trouble to one of them first?” Fang Jinyu looked at An Ruyin with a strange expression, then raised his hand and drew a few lines in the air.
Spiritual light flashed, and a mountain suddenly collapsed tens of millions of kilometers away, revealing an underground spirit vein. Meanwhile, spirit stones were growing in the spirit vein.
However, before the nearby cultivators could rejoice, the spirit stones moved as if they had a life of their own. Afterward, they transformed into a spirit stone giant and stood up abruptly.
“Roar!”
With a roar, the spirit stone giant emitted a terrifying late-stage Foundation Establishment aura.
However, the matter hadn’t ended because soon another spirit stone giant was standing up. It made the nearby cultivators, the originally calm Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, suddenly change their expressions.
However, among these people, there was a young girl who was calm and composed.
She was Yi Yuaner.
