Soul Mushroom

Ancient spiritual wood could develop a soul if a number of coincidences joined together. Once the tree died, the soul could survive within the grain of the wood, circulating about. In a hundred years it would be possible to form a Soul Mushroom that would wither after seven days. However, if a Soul Mushroom had the good fortune of living to a hundred years of age, it would become a precious treasure of the heavens and earth. If one were to swallow this, they could obtain the soul attributes of the spiritual wood, allowing one’s soul to never disperse or extinguish. If a Soul Mushroom could reach a thousand years of age, it would become a magic tool. Once this magic tool was refined into the body, it would form the renowned and eminent Partner Soul of ancient times!

Legends said that in ancient times there was a famous deviant beast of slaughter. With its cruel and vicious nature, it massacred trillions of people, finally triggering a joint alliance of human powerhouses to work together to suppress it. In the ensuing war, light faded and the world collapsed. The power of the mighty deviant beast surpassed all expectations and 70 some human powerhouses fell from the skies. But, using their blood essence as the catalyst, they managed to activate a secret technique that killed it.

The reason for the beast’s immense power lay in the Partner Soul. After this undertaking, the world was left in chaos and all sorts of information related to Partner Souls began to spread out.

A Partner Soul could be called an avatar of the soul, nearly the same as the soul of the main body. But, it could automatically draw in the spiritual strength of the heavens and earth, transforming this into a never-ending stream of energy used to grow the main body’s soul. This could be called an incredible tool for accelerating the cultivation of the soul, but, its effects were not confined to just this. The strength of a Partner Soul lay in its ability to superimpose itself onto the soul of the main body, doubling the cultivator’s soul cultivation immediately. In a critical life or death situation, the Partner Soul could even be destroyed in place of the main body’s soul, allowing one to avoid a life or death catastrophe. For instance, when facing Nascent Soul heavenly tribulation’s most horrifying soul burying thunder tribulation. With a Partner Soul, even if one couldn’t resist it, they could still survive it unscathed.

And this was only some of the information presently known about Partner Souls. Up until today, no one knew what the true strengths of a Partner Soul were. This was because after the deviant beast perished, only a little of the information related to Partner Souls were recorded in the ancient texts. And as the river of time slowly washed everything away, those that now knew about this treasure were exceedingly few!
Eight Treasure Lantern

Place a wisp of one’s soul within, and then light the fire and place it upon an altar of worship. If one were to die, there is a chance that this lamp can be used to condense the remaining remnant soul. For cultivators, if one’s soul didn’t fully dissipate then they hadn’t yet truly died. Seizing the body of another was the best choice, and taking over a refined puppet was another. The worst option was to transform into a ghost cultivator and survive like that. No one ever complained about having too many life maintaining items; this treasure could be considered precious.
Princess Lushy

## Appearance

The young girl had bright teeth and delicately patterned scales between her eyebrows that glistened like a rainbow beneath the sunlight.

Impressively, her true form was that of an elegant single-horned flood dragon. The jade bright scales reflected a faint halo of light in the dark sea water.

## History

During Qin Yu's fight with Han Shanye she appeared and ordered her royal guards from the Whale Monster Race to capture Qin Yu which triggered a battle between them and Qin Yu, ending with her captured and held hostage by Qin Yu.

However it was later revealed that she was tricked by others to provoke Qin Yu and these people ended up modifying their plans to frame Qin Yu in order to allow Qi Quan to avenge Fairy Xiang

The goal of the people who tricked her into provoking Qin Yu was to capture her as a sacrifice so that the Saint Lord of the demonic path could refine the Saint Furnace and he assigned this mission to two Saint Sons, who would also serve as a test for them .

However Qin Yu's interference ended up modifying his plans.

## Trivia

Han Dong

## History

He knew that Wei Wei’s spiritual roots are mixed and uneven and for many years his cultivation was slow. But ttwo months ago he was reborn and broke through seven levels of Energy Refining in 27 days to enter Foundation Establishment which generated a strong suspicion in it.

Others think he had made deep preparations for this moment, but he did not believe it, because nine years ago when Wei Wei entered the sect, he was the one who examined it, so he knew his talent very well and knew that such a hypothesis was impossible.

So the only explanation was that he had a secret that changed his destiny. And that aroused his greed and determination to kill Wei Wei and get his good fortune.

## Trivia

* After killing Wei Wei he was preparing to kill Qin Yu and eliminate all evidence, but ended up having his heart pierced by the boar's tusks, dying with fury and rage swimming in his eyes.
Li Mu

## Background

It was said that he used to be a scholar who taught students, and one day he managed to stumble across an ancient book from which he learned a cultivation method. From that point on, he stepped onto the road of cultivation and joined the Eastern Mountain Sect.

But he had started too late and had missed the best moments of his life to cultivate. No matter how great Li Mu’s talent was, after he reached the eighth level of Foundation Establishment it was difficult for him to go any further. He was stubbornly stranded at this step. In terms of cultivation, besides the Eastern Mountain Sect’s two great Golden Core cultivators, he could be considered a top character with a status similar to the Sect Master.

## History

He was one of the people who interrogated Qin Yu the day after Han Dong's murder in order to find the killer.

## Trivia

* He wanted Qin Yu to exchange his storage bag with him for some spiritual stones and pills, but to his disappointment Qin Yu refused to trade.
Eclipse Xuzi

She is the younger sister of Eclipse Yan and the master of the Fifth Furnace.

## Trivia

* She was already enraged by the death of her big brother out of rage over Qin Yu and after seeing her son's condition after fighting Qin Yu she got angry and fought with the intention of killing him, but in the end she was still defeated.
Old Sea

## Appearance

Entering a studio within Nine Layer Building, Qin Yu could clearly see the purple robes that this person wore as well as the purple card hanging from their waist. He instantly understood their status. This was the highest and strongest existence amongst sea spirit teachers – a Purple Card sea spirit teacher! He had neatly combed silver-like hair and his warm eyes were deep and profound.

## Background

Old Sea is ranked seventh amongst the ten great Purple Cards and the Exalted of the Sea Spirit Pavilion.

When it came to arguing, there had never been anyone who surpassed him. His status had grown over the years and as he grew older, it became rare for him to personally admonish anyone. But if anyone were to mention the man known as Curse God Lingdao in the past, who wouldn’t shiver in their boots? He thought back to that one year where he alone had faced off against 37 sea spirit teachers, and in that great war of words nine previously arrogant people had to be carried away on stretchers. Even now, no one had surpassed that accomplishment.

## History

He revealed to Qin Yu that the reason he had his current achievements stems from the Skyspirit Sage lineage.

## Trivia

* Before the start of the Sea Spirit Teacher Competition he was ambushed outside the Sea Race’s Capital City, being seriously injured and unable to participate in the competition.
* After Qin Yu successfully defeated Jing Guanjin and challenged Grandmaster Wu Zetian to the Purple Card position, his own position was saved, and as a thank you he swore that if Qin Yu has a problem in the future, they will also be yours.

Qing Jugong

Dead before the beginning of the story

## History

Qing Jugong was the most important ancestor in the history of the Qing Family. He had single-handedly led a small family into the circles of the most powerful families of the capital city. Unfortunately, with his passing, no such character appeared in the Qing Family to replace him. After a few troubles, the Qing Family began to wane and whither. Up until now, the Qing Family had barely been able to maintain their strength, and their background was now severely lacking.
Seventh Night Sky

## Background

Seventh Night Sky was extremely strong. However, what he prided himself upon was not his strength, but the methods at his disposal to preserve his own life. He was a mercenary who had wandered through the sea region for many years. Though he had been taken in by Sea Spirit Pavilion as one of their followers, he still relied on his amazing life-preserving skills to live to this point.

## Trivia

* He and Xue Zheng tried to stop the Whale Sovereign from killing Qin Yu, however they were not strong enough to fight him and were easily defeated.
Eclipse Shoucheng

## Background

Eclipse Shoucheng was 36 years of age. His martial talent wasn’t low or high, but because he had the surname Eclipse and was backed by a respected Golden Core mother, he was lifted into the position of a department steward. This wasn’t a high position, but he still managed over several dozen people. His normal days were carefree and idle; this could be considered a cushy management job.

Among these several dozen people, there were some that Eclipse Shoucheng found displeasing to the eyes. It wasn’t because they weren’t respectful enough nor was it because they didn’t perform their duties. Rather, it was because during an internal alchemy competition, they had caused Eclipse Shoucheng to lose a bit of face.

Immortal Eclipse Valley was a sect that was founded by alchemy and supported by alchemy. If his staff wasn’t even as good as a young servant, how could they possibly serve him? Although no one spoke much about this matter later, Eclipse Shoucheng always bore a grudge in his heart. It wasn’t common for him to add on some additional scolding and seek extra punishments on ordinary days.

The unimportant person resigned himself to his fate. But as time passed, Eclipse Shoucheng found this person increasingly annoying. And fortunately, an opportunity appeared. The conflicts within the valley were becoming increasingly serious, and everyone was becoming increasingly wary with each day. Through this time, this unimportant person didn’t do anything that was worth criticizing, so Eclipse Shoucheng didn’t have an excuse to do anything to him.

Without any openings, Eclipse Shoucheng finally used some methods to lure him into a trap.

Simply put, he was framing him for theft.
Wei Wei

He was the previous owner of the Little Blue Lamp.

## Background

It was unclear just what third senior-apprentice brother Wei Wei’s origins were. According to his bragging, he had an ancestor that was once a military officer belonging to the royal family, and that ancestor possessed a peak Golden Core cultivation. When he was judged to have sufficient talent in cultivation, his name was changed by his clansmen so that he could one day reach the same heights that his ancestor reached in the past and revive the glory of his clan.

In the past, everyone had considered his bragging words a joke. This third senior-apprentice brother’s name might have sounded grand, but his character and attitude weren’t beautiful at all. His words were sharp and biting and he was someone who haggled and took advantage of whoever he could. When one compared him to a seemingly cold and wise military officer of the royal family, it was simply too hard to see the similarities between them.

But beginning two months ago, this third senor-apprentice brother seemed to have decided to write his own epic story of rising from the grass and into the heavens. In 27 days he broke through the seven boundaries of Energy Refining and entered Foundation Establishment with unstoppable force. Then, he continued to rush forwards and it was said that just yesterday he reached the third boundary of Foundation Establishment.

Let alone a tiny faction like the Eastern Mountain Sect, even if this cultivation speed were placed amongst one of the grand immortal cultivation sects it would still be amongst the best of the best!

On the same day that third senior-apprentice brother broke into the Foundation Establishment realm, he prayed and begged overnight to the Sect Master. On the next day, he was officially acknowledged and formally accepted. From that point on, third senior-apprentice brother was like a salted fish that came back to life. He became a direct disciple of the Sect Master and his fame and prestige rose to the peak!

On that day, the nearly thousand-strong outer court disciples of the Eastern Mountain Sect turned red-eyed with envy.

In these days, third senior-apprentice brother seemed to have become the sect’s future hope. The other direct disciples were placed under increased pressure even as the third senior-apprentice brother continued blazing forwards with unstoppable arrogance.

## Trivia

* He was killed by a talisman launched by Han Dong that killed him instantly leaving only his black bones.
Snowfall City

Although the Southern Empire and Northern Dynasty were large territories, the size of the world was actually beyond imagination. The usual state of the land was a warm climate, and Snowfall City was no exception. Despite Snowfall City’s name being snowfall, the truth was that snow hadn’t fallen there for the last 100 years. The reason it had this name was because there was an eternally cold ice lake outside the city. For some unknown reason, this lake would remain ice cold all year round, and the surrounding hundred miles was also dropped to freezing temperatures. This was a climate change that occurred in a small scope.

Radiant Red Wood

The tree was almost a thousand feet tall and as thick as seven or eight people standing side by side. The sturdy roots were like great hands that gripped the earth, and the crown of leaves nearly covered half the valley. A divine red light emitted from the tree’s body, trunk, and leaves, filling everyone’s line of sight. The dazzling red light seemed as if it flowed here from ancient times and the flickering flames that burned continuously on the branches made the dark red jade-like fruits even more beautiful.
Pill Crucible

## Appearance

As the giant bone hand was about to seize the Radiant Red Wood, a white-robed figure suddenly appeared. With an ethereal air drifting about him, this figure faced the fierce and flaming bone hand and pointed out a finger.

However out of the public eye the Pill Crucible was wild and unruly, completely lacking all of that vigor and majesty he had when he faced the Demon Monarch. As if his spine had been pulled out, he slumped back into a soft cushion and swept his eyes lazily about.

## Trivia

* Initially he had found Qin Yu pleasing to the eye and intended to take him as his disciple, passing on his entire legacy, however after realizing Qin Yu's jade slip status that was left by Cang Mangzi he had to abandon his plans, because the two were brother disciples of the legacy of Cang Mangzi.
Billowing Wave City

As a great city of cultivators within the Southern Empire, this city was naturally splendid and prosperous. Its towering city walls were dozens of feet thick and nearly broke through the skies. They were also supported with array formations that left the citizens feeling safe from all external threats.

## Trivia

* This great city had once been bustling with life, but now large tracts of its walls had collapsed and the remains were marred with traces of bombardments. It had clearly been ravaged by the flames of war.
* Billowing Wave City had been half-destroyed during the chaos of war, but because of the massive influx of demonic cultivators it had been restored to a degree of prosperity in a short period of time.
Zeng Zhongxiu

## Appearence

Zeng Zhongxiu had the appearance of a middle-aged man, but the occasional white hair did nothing to ruin his dashing appearance. The vicissitudes of time that wrapped around him gave him an even more clean and affable appearance. If the person standing across from Qin Yu was a young girl, he might have long since been captivated by her.

But this person didn’t have any feminine aura at all. Every action and movement was open and broad, and when he spoke he did so with deep admiration. One could feel the sincerity in his words.

## Background

He was a heaven-gifted genius who had reached the tenth level of Energy Refining by 16 years of age, and in terms of alchemy, he possessed an even greater level of talent.

The junior of a large family who also possessed such a high degree of talent should have had an incomparably bright future awaiting him. However, his youthful heart and brashness had been his own undoing. He tried to break through Energy Refining and reach Foundation Establishment on his own, but in that critical moment, his cultivation had been broken by Zeng Mo’er who had suddenly rushed in. Not only had his breakthrough failed but he suffered a backlash as a result. From that point on, his cultivation no longer advanced and he fell ill in bed with sickness. No matter how deep the background of the Zeng Family was, they had no way of preventing his life draining out of him, and now he verged on the border of death.

## Trivia

* After taking the Foundation Establishment Pill he was able to successfully enter the foundation establishment and then rushed to express his thanks to Qin Yu and warn that he was leaving to join the Immortal Eclipse Valley to study alchemy.
* Qin Yu found him again in the Immortal Eclipse Valley, however he was being punished with 30 lashes by the Disciplinary Hall because of a false accusation by Eclipse Shoucheng, who resented Zeng Zhongxiu being a better alchemist than he was.
* After Qin Yu realized his instinctive familiarity with Zeng Zhongxiu, something that could affect his future, he decided to give him a stroke of good luck and recommended him as apprentice to Pill Crucible.

Immortal Eclipse Valley

Within the Southern Empire, the number one, largest immortal cultivating sect was Immortal Eclipse Valley…these words were spoken with great earnest but the reality was that this was only something said by the cultivators of the Southern Empire as a bragging point to enhance their own image. This was because Immortal Eclipse Valley was situated at the border of the Southern Empire and Northern Dynasty, and in fact, the majority of its lands could be said to be located in the Northern Dynasty. Of course, the cultivators of the Southern Empire would never acknowledge this, and if anyone were to ever dare challenge this fact, they would be cursed to death!

The reason that Immortal Eclipse Valley was respected as the greatest immortal cultivation sect of the Southern Empire was not only because they were an alchemy juggernaut, but also because it was rumored they had Nascent Souls guarding their sect, perhaps even more than one.

The core region of Immortal Eclipse Valley was indeed a mountain valley, and the valley was where the people of the Eclipse Clan and other cultivators lived. However, things weren’t as simple as this, especially for a sect known as the number one immortal faction and even more so for one that was obscenely wealthy due to their production of pills.

In terms of the mountain valley core region, it was over 50 miles wide and bordered by 17 mountains, all of them within the scope of Immortal Eclipse Valley’s entrance and thus protected by a great array formation. Although the degree of protection couldn’t compare to the core region, this level of display was already terrifying. Just the maintenance required to keep the array formation revolving consumed a mind-boggling amount of spirit stones every day.

## Main Locations

* **Alchemy Mountain** - Alchemy Mountain was 3000 feet tall and countless holes were carved into the surface. All of these holes were caves that were opened by previous cultivators of Immortal Eclipse Valley, and it was one of the inheritances that helped Immortal Eclipse Valley reach the level they were at today.
* **Forbidden Land** - Location where Radiant Red Wood and Purpleback Bluewing Ants are located.
* **Pill Temple**
* **Treasure Collection Pavilion**
* **Disciplinary Hall**
* **Pill Disposal Department** - This place wasn’t too far away and was in Immortal Eclipse Valley’s core region. It was different from the Eastern Mountain Sect’s Pill Disposal Department in that it was placed in an open canyon.

## Trivia

* After Pill Crucible discovered Qin Yu's status as his junior apprentice brother he gave him the position of Immortal Eclipse Valley’s Junior Uncle, with the same position as Pill Crucible.
Goodra

## Appearance

An old turtle man was at the front. Sweat dripped down his face and although he occasionally wiped it with a towel, he still couldn’t keep up with how much he was sweating. The originally dignified and regal robes of the competition staff were already pasted to his body and he looked to be in an extremely distressed state.

## Trivia

* He tried to accuse Qin Yu of using prohibited treasures in the competition and causing serious injuries to others, even though he knew that Qin Yu acted in self-defense, but in the end he was severely reprimanded by Chief Manager Wu.
* After again being reprimanded in public, now by Grandmaster Wu Zetian, and even accused of taking bribes to cover up the matter with Jing Guanjin, he was attacked by Grandmaster Wu Zetian and his thick, protective shell for which the turtle race was famously was heavily damaged.
* After he learned that Qin Yu had won and become a Purple Card and like the arrogant Grandmaster Wu Zetian had finished, he hurried over to greet and become closer Qin Yu.

Land of Sealed Demons

This was a place completely unrelated to the righteous path cultivators and was where the demonic path sealed away their demonic cultivators. Every faction had people they loathed or found unacceptable, and this was true even for the demonic path. Of course, those that had the qualifications to be exiled to the Land of Sealed Demons were all horrifyingly strong demons. Those that were insolent yet small and weak were long since exterminated.

After being sealed away for so many years, even if someone hasn’t died, their cultivation would have dramatically dropped. Moreover, the Land of Sealed Demon has seals that suppress those locked away.
Bluecloud Demon

## Appearance

Black energy gushed out from the iron gate, condensing into chains that startled to curl around him. The figure instantly disappeared, reappearing not too far away. He turned to reveal a blue and dreadful face. His expression was calm and indifferent, as if he wasn’t a demonic cultivator sealed away, but rather a stoic teacher.

## Background

800 years ago, you were a peerless proud son of heaven of the demonic path. Even though the years have washed away history, they still cannot diminish the least bit of glory from your body.

## Trivia

* She tried to erase Qin Yu's soul and seize his body so that he could break the seal that bound him, thus gaining his freedom, however when he was about to succeed Qin Yu's divine sense evolved to the level of the Golden Core, thus resisting his demonic will.
Heavenseek Pavilion

Heavenseek Pavilion!

These words were written in large flowing strokes on a signboard, the will and spirit within shining like a sun, making it hard for others to look straight at it. The imposing aura was strong enough, but, as a place that was said to sell information of the world and also claimed to know everything and anything, shouldn’t such a place be wrapped in a layer of secrecy and mystery instead?

This sort of overbearingness didn’t match at all with what he thought Heavenseek Pavilion would be like.
Crimson Smelting Nine Tier Pagoda

Each level of the pagoda had beast souls sealed within. A first level Energy Refining cultivator could summon a first level Energy Refining beast soul, and a second level Energy Refining cultivator could summoned a second level Energy Refining beast soul. At the ninth of Energy Refining, one could summon nine beast souls into battle. This continued at the Foundation Establishment realm and even the Golden Core realm! For those at the Energy Refining and Foundation Establishment realm, this treasure was good enough, but the Golden Core realm beast souls were particularly fierce. If one could summon all nine beast souls to battle then they could easily devastate anyone below the Nascent Soul realm.
Old Shark

## Appearance

He was an old man in embroidered robes. His eyes were clear and insightful, as if they could see directly into the hearts of others.

The old man had several beautiful scales on his forehead. Unfortunately, Qin Yu wasn’t too familiar with the various sea races, so he couldn’t guess who this old man was. At this time he was a bit curious, and a bit of appreciation glinted in his eyes.
Cao Hua

## Background

His origins were unknown, but he had slaughtered his way through these vast mountain ranges for the last seven or eight years without dying; this was sufficient proof as to how fierce he was. He gradually rose to fame over the years, and even gained some respect. When others saw him, they would even call him Brother Cao.
Xue Zheng

## Appearance

The man was visibly tired but his eyes remained firm and stoic, as if with a single word from the man in the carriage the entire troop would continue on without any complaints.

A cold wind seemed to blow out from them, drifting into the heart like a winter storm, invading the soul and causing one’s heartbeat to nearly stop and blood to almost freeze.

## Trivia

* When Qin Yu was being targeted by the Whale Sovereign he stood out along with the Seventh Night Sky to try to block him and save Qin Yu, however both were not pareo to the Whale Sovereign and he ended up seriously injured.
Northern Dynasty

North of the Southern Empire was the Northern Dynasty. The Northern Dynasty was three times the size, but its population was actually less than half that of the Southern Empire. This was because a vast amount of land was barren wilderness.

In the legends it was said that these barren lands were cursed long ago, and the vitality of the land gradually depleted over time. Although there was no evidence of this, the reality was that those who stepped into these barren lands often died violent and miserable deaths. Over time, fewer and fewer people journeyed there.

## City and Powers

* Flowing River Sect
* Song City
* Green Duck City
Sea Spirit Pavilion

Sea Spirit Pavilion is tyrannically powerful. Within the sea region, they are the largest chain of sea spirit stores that sells a comprehensive variety of items, collects cultivation methods, gathers resources, provides treatment, recycles, and engages in all sorts of other industries.

Sea Spirit Pavilion was composed of nine floors. The first floor was responsible for registering and screening guests. According to a guest’s inquiry, one would calculate the approximate difficulty level and amount to be charged.

## Items

* **Sea Spirit Card** - The Sea Spirit Card is a special token that the master of the Sea Spirit Pavilion sent out at the founding of Sea Spirit Pavilion as thanks for all the help received. With this special token, one can ask Sea Spirit Pavilion to agree to certain conditions.

## Trivia

* Because of the commotion created involuntarily by Qin Yun when integrating with the spiritual objects of the five elements, the Sea Spirit Pavillion suffered most of the impact and his Nine Layer Building it was practically destroyed.
Suffering Soul

This is a very popular Easter egg. It was Daisy Pak who started the rumor that maybe this little book was hiding something... some "antichrist". This armory is a great way to do the window, and especially the theologians, a favor.

As I said, it works with Excel and Ninesoft. This game is a simple basic game. To install the game, open Excel (if you already have a copy). Open a new blank Excel sheet. Scroll down from row 95 and unselect all rows and tables in column b. Hold down the Ctrl Alt Shift key and the game will appear.

A window appears called "Haunted Soul Hall". Maybe that’s the name of the game.

You can communicate using the keyboard. The game is north. North-east to east to east hill, south-west west and north-west. Arrow to move Arrow to move Arrow to move Arrow to move Arrow down. Use it to look up and down. You can walk on walls in the game. If you go through a wall with a window... If you go through a wall without a window, it's closed. It is possible to insert a column.

There was a staircase in front of him. The walls are lined with quotes from the developers (probably the developers of Excel). On the next floor was a small room with red walls. The names of the developers appeared on the screen again. Drop down and enter the room you were in earlier. Enter the magic word "Electric Avenue." The second room opens. This room has smoke with a black background. If you fall, you will return to the room you were in before. You have to travel with caution.

On one side, the other wall is filled with graphic images. Back to the original question. Try to turn all the way around and you'll be at the back of this room. You will see the room you occupied before. But if you hit the wall, it will completely turn around and go inside.

Easter eggs can hold a terrifying secret from their creator. You can get any special items in the game by email.
Qing Family

That ever since their old ancestor of the Qing Family died, their situation had worsened with every year. Those people that used to warmly welcome them now only gave them a light greeting before turning around and doing other things. With the Qing Family members assembled together, they seemed to be gathered by an invisible net of social status, isolated from the circle of top families in the capital city.

Cang Mangzi

Dead before the beginning of history

## History

He was a Wandering Cultivator who spent his life chasing the dao of alchemy. He had heard that in the Southern Empire there was a great sect called the Eastern Mountain that was personally guarded by an alchemy powerhouse, so he traveled tens of thousands of miles for the purpose of deepening his knowledge in Alchemy. But when he arrived at the sect to talk about refinement methods, he was plotted against and eventually arrested at the Pill Disposal Department.

He should have died of the poison of the pill, but the ancestors of the Eastern Mountain Sect didn’t know that Cang Mangzi actually possessed a poison-attuned body, that allowed him to survive.

Unfortunately for him when he was alive, the Eastern Mountain Sect had been in their glory years, and they had a Nascent Soul realm master personally guarding their sect. Moreover, there was also that sinister and cruel array formation that only allowed entry. With no choice, he could be considered a genius in the dao of alchemy. Following an unorthodox route, he found a way to extract raw materials from failed pills and possibly use them to create pills once more.

Of course, these sorts of extracted materials were more or less contaminated with pill toxins. Even with his poison-attuned body, he couldn’t completely withstand swallowing all these pill toxins. In the end, Cang Mangzi couldn’t find a way out and his cultivation was stalled here until he died a bitter death in meditation.

## Trivia

* He left behind a precious cauldron as well as some jade slides where there are alchemy insights, pill recipes, as well as an exquisite method of pill refinement.

* Thousand Safflowers
* Azure Cloud Vines
	+ Azure Cloud Fruits - these possess extreme healing abilities, said to be able to even regrow amputated limbs. Requires at least 60 years for even the lowest quality fruit to be ripe.

An Enduring Glamour Pill affected one’s face. Depending on one’s individual physique, by swallowing one they could maintain their current appearance for 20-30 year without change. This was a particularly precious pill, especially for women. It was a Foundation Establishment level pill, but in terms of the difficulty of refining one, it was nearly equal to a Golden Core level pill. The failure rate was horrendous!

Chief Manager Wu

## Background

The chief manager was surnamed Wu. No one knew his true name. If he had the qualifications to oversee the capital city’s branch division, it was natural that he had an extremely high status within Sea Spirit Pavilion’s overall hierarchy. While he stood at the peak of the wave, there were countless people targeting him from below. Each one of those people was waiting for him to make a mistake so that they could take advantage of him while he was down.

The Supreme Book had been proposed by Chief Manager Wu. After the idea had been discussed at headquarters, it had been agreed that it would first be implemented in the capital city’s branch division. The feedback for the last several months had been good. Creating profits was one thing, but the most important aspect was that it increased their renown and faith and was something that Bluesky Tower and Earthfault Spire could not control, allowing Sea Spirit Pavilion to obtain an even higher reputation.

Headquarters had begun to consider promoting the Supreme Book through various large cities in the sea region. If this were to smoothly succeed, then Chief Manager Wu’s fame would rise precipitously and his position would be impregnable.
Monk Hood of Flowing Light

This was a mystic treasure of buddhist sects. When cultivating, one could bring this out. Not only would it calm the mind and prevent outside thoughts from interfering, but one’s cultivation speed would also rise precipitously. Most importantly, after using this monk hood for an extended period of time, a person could achieve unity with it and fuse it into their body. From that point on, buddhist powers would shelter their soul, making them unassailable to 10,000 evils!
Three Mountain Islands

The three islands were extremely close to each other, and each island had an active volcano situated atop it, thus together they were called the Three Mountain Islands. Due to the instability of the underground volcanoes, the surrounding sea reef area was filled with treacherous and complex terrain. Although the three islands weren’t small, only a very small number of people every visited, and even then they mostly stopped for the night to rest before leaving again. These could be called relatively abandoned islands.
Demon Body

It was the highest body cultivation method of the demonic path. After successfully cultivating it, one’s mortal body would become harder than stone and iron and they would have the strength of 10,000 demons behind them. If one cultivated this technique to the peak then they could obtain an immortal and everlasting body, stepping through the endless eons! And, what was most important was that cultivating the Demon Body didn’t require any demonic energy at all, and even after cultivating it, it would be hard for others to detect even while using it.

The Demon Body is divided in different ranks.

Soldier, Officer, General, Commander, King, Sovereign, Emperor and Saint.

Demon Body Ranks
 Soldier
 General
 Commander
 King
 Sovereign
 Emperor
 Saint

There are many people in the Demonic Path who have cultivated a Demon Body, but only those who have attained the King step Demon Body could be said to have reached a high level and can obtain the inheritance of the dark and mystical true demon, gaining all sorts of inconceivable abilities. In other words, only those at this level have the qualifications to be said to have an Undying True Demon Body.
Great Dao Body

## **Appearance**

So far, very little is known about the Great Dao Body. As Qin Yu refins the Great Dao Body with the help of the Little Blue Lamp textures of the ubiquitous yet untouchable rules of the world started to appear on his finger.

The Great Dao Body has the ability to compel the rules. Moreover, the strength seemed even stronger than his own all-out attack.

## Trivia

* After Qin absorbed the majority of the body of the Spirit of Poison his right Index finger was clearly undergoing a profound and wonderful transformation. For instance, more and more complex and mystical textures were appearing on the surface of his skin. These textures that appeared on his finger were indeed the ubiquitous yet untouchable rules of the world.
* As more and more poisons were absorbed, the textures on his finger became increasingly complete. Slowly, a strange aesthetic sense of beauty appeared.
* After a moment of hesitation, Qin Yu lifted his right hand and gently stroked the void in front of him. Different from his other fingers, this index finger had a clear feeling of distinctly touching something. In the next moment, strong winds surged. The void violently trembled and cracks were torn open. The entire world shook as a scene of destruction appeared.

Moreover, the most terrifying aspect of this was that Qin Yu had only moved a finger to do this; there had been almost no losses to him.
