Cultivating To Immortality

Seeing Hong Cheng fall, Lu An's face showed a triumphant smile, and he laughed at Mo Yun, "Hehe. I didn't expect the Immortal Devouring Powder to be so effective, even more powerful than I imagined."

Mo Yun also put away her dagger and responded with a smile, "Of course. This Immortal Devouring Powder isn't just any ordinary poison. I spent a fortune to buy it from an inner sect Senior Brother, so its effect naturally won't be bad."

Hearing the three words Immortal Devouring Powder, Fang Hong secretly understood.

He had previously seen an introduction to this poison in an ancient text that recorded Demon Beasts and poisons.

Immortal Devouring Powder is refined using a Golden Immortal stage Immortal Devouring Silkworm as the main materials. Its toxicity is extremely strong; it is said that just one drop can poison a Cultivator in the Early Stage of Golden Immortal.

Witnessing the power of Immortal Devouring Powder today, it was indeed as recorded in the ancient text, extraordinary. Hong Cheng, a True Immortal at Perfection, had no power to resist.

After dealing with Hong Cheng, Lu An and Mo Yun both turned to look at Fang Hong, their eyes unfriendly.

"Apologies, Fellow Daoist Zhao, there is only one fire bodhi fruit. In order to successfully advance to Golden Immortal, we had no choice but to do this."

"Speaking of which, we should thank you for helping us get rid of that troublesome Red-Eyed Demon Spider earlier. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to obtain the fire bodhi fruit so quickly," Mo Yun said with a slight smile.

"Junior Sister Mo, stop wasting words with him. Let's make our move quickly." Lu An gripped the Immortal Artifact staff in his hand, his eyes vigilantly fixed on Fang Hong, feeling a little uneasy.

Fang Hong had been too calm from beginning to end. Whether it was seeing them ambush Hong Cheng or hearing the name of Immortal Devouring Powder, he showed no sign of panic.

This abnormal calmness made Lu An feel unsettled. He now only wanted to quickly deal with Fang Hong to avoid any further complications.

As soon as his voice fell, Lu An no longer hesitated. He gripped the Immortal Artifact staff in his hand, his internal immortal power surged wildly, and he fiercely smashed it towards Fang Hong.

Mo Yun followed closely, the blue dagger in her hand once again gleaming with a cold light.

Just at this critical moment, an unexpected event suddenly occurred!

Lu An, who was originally charging towards Fang Hong, suddenly stopped in his tracks, his body shaking violently, and the ferocity on his face instantly turned into shock.

He lowered his head and saw a blue-glowing dagger piercing through his chest. Blood continuously gushed out along the dagger, staining his clothes red.

Lu An stiffly turned his head. The person who attacked him was none other than his Junior Sister Mo.

"Y-You, why?" Lu An looked at Mo Yun with a face full of disbelief.

"Because there's only one fire bodhi fruit." Mo Yun smiled and fiercely pulled out the dagger.

Then, she lifted her foot and mercilessly kicked Lu An to the side, as if discarding a useless piece of trash.

As Lu An lay on the ground, the toxicity of the Immortal Devouring Powder from his wound instantly spread throughout his body.

He quickly began to convulse like Hong Cheng, foaming at the mouth, his consciousness rapidly blurring. Not long after, he fainted, completely losing the ability to resist.

Mo Yun actually attacked her own companion. This scene even surprised Fang Hong a little.

He had originally thought the two would at least team up to deal with him first, but he didn't expect Mo Yun's heart to be so ruthless.

"Are you so confident that you can kill me alone?" Fang Hong stared at Mo Yun and asked curiously.

Mo Yun did not answer Fang Hong's question. A ruthless expression appeared on her face, and she quickly took out a blue pearl.

Tiny bolts of lightning wrapped around the surface of the pearl. Before Fang Hong could react, she directly threw the pearl towards him.

"Exploding Thunder Pearl." Seeing this pearl, Fang Hong was slightly startled. He immediately used the Void Secret Technique to open a portal and transfer the pearl outside the Immortal Cave.

Boom.

A loud bang came from outside the Immortal Cave, shaking the entire Immortal Cave violently. Several small cracks even appeared on the walls, and surrounding rubble rustled down.

Seeing her Exploding Thunder Pearl transferred away by Fang Hong, Mo Yun's expression finally changed, losing her previous composure.

"Space Immortal Law. You actually comprehended Space Immortal Law."

Before Mo Yun could recover from her shock, Fang Hong immediately unleashed his soul severing sword, performing the Aurora Swordplay. He transformed into a black and white sword shadow that swiftly sliced through her body at an extremely fast speed.

Pfft.

With a soft sound, Mo Yun's body violently shook. She hadn't even clearly seen Fang Hong's movements when she felt a sharp pain in her body.

Immediately after, her upper and lower body instantly separated, falling heavily to the ground, and blood instantly stained the ground red.

Even at the moment of her death, her face still held a deep expression of terror.

After dealing with Mo Yun, Fang Hong did not linger. He once again swung his soul severing sword, drawing two sharp sword shadows that flew towards Lu An and Hong Cheng, who were unconscious on the ground.

The sword shadows flashed, and both men completely lost their breath.

Thus, this conflict, triggered by the fire bodhi fruit, finally ended.

Only Fang Hong, three corpses, and the fire bodhi fruit tree remained in the Immortal Cave.

Fang Hong retrieved his soul severing sword and let out a long sigh.

The Exploding Thunder Pearl that Mo Yun threw earlier was really dangerous. Fortunately, he used the Void Secret Technique to transfer it.

Speaking of the Exploding Thunder Pearl, it was no small matter.

It is said that only Golden Immortal Cultivators who have comprehended the Law of thunder can refine this kind of one-time Immortal Artifact.

Its power is exceptionally great; one pearl can kill a Cultivator in the Early Stage of Golden Immortal.

Fang Hong looked at the corpses of Mo Yun and Lu An on the ground. These two were probably disciples of some sect.

However, none of that mattered anymore. Even if Mo Yun and Lu An hadn't made the first move, he wouldn't have let these three people go.

He was determined to get the fire bodhi fruit, and no one could stop him.

Next, Fang Hong began to clean up the battlefield, collecting the bodies and all the belongings of Mo Yun and the other two into his years pearl. He would slowly tally them later in a safe place. The most important thing right now was the fire bodhi fruit.

Fang Hong walked to the fire bodhi fruit tree, carefully picked the fire bodhi fruit, and placed it in a jade box for safekeeping.

The moment the fire bodhi fruit was picked, the fire bodhi fruit tree suddenly turned into specks of firelight and instantly vanished between heaven and earth.

Fang Hong was not surprised by the sight before him.

The fire bodhi fruit tree was formed by the condensation of the Five Elements Qi of fire from heaven and earth, naturally grown and nurtured. Once its fruit was harvested, the fruit tree would transform back into Five Elements Qi and dissipate, making it impossible to artificially transplant or cultivate.

If this fire bodhi fruit tree could be transplanted, he would really like to transplant it into the internal space of the years pearl, planting a large area of fire bodhi fruit trees, and then he would never have to worry about not having fire bodhi fruits to use.

After picking the fire bodhi fruit, Fang Hong immediately left the Red-Eyed Demon Spider's Immortal Cave. Before leaving, he also collected the Red-Eyed Demon Spider's corpse outside the Immortal Cave into his years pearl.

This was the corpse of a Golden Immortal Demon Beast; it couldn't be wasted.

Now that the fire bodhi fruit had been found and all the materials for refining the Crimson Fire Pill were gathered, it was time to prepare for the breakthrough to Golden Immortal.
