The 62nd Danwang Conference

  "Reporting to the Sect Master, the leader of the Wu Chang Sect has arrived to pay his respects." Just as Jiang He was worshiping and refining the Supreme True Devil's image, a monk from Tianzhu came in to report.

  "Hmm, is Wu Chang Sect a demonic sect or an immortal sect? What kind of cultivation is Fang Taiji?" Jiang He grabbed the blood bead with one hand and pressed the other on the chest of the Supreme True Devil statue. A surge of devilish energy imprinted his divine consciousness and entered the body of the Supreme True Devil statue.

  Jiang He could clearly perceive that within this demonic body, there seemed to be a fierce spirit about to awaken. This fierce spirit was extremely powerful, yet it had a clear connection with his own consciousness. This connection wasn't like the one between puppetry and minor puppetry, but rather an inseparable bond where information was transmitted to him at all times.

  Jiang He knew that once this fierce spirit awakened, the first step of refining the Supreme True Devil's statue would be truly completed. The various divine powers of the Supreme True Devil's statue would begin to emerge at that time. At that moment, a Golden Elixir cultivator in front of the statue would be nothing but trash!

  "Returning to the sect master, this Wú Cháng Sect is a Xian Dao school, and the sect master Fang Taiji is also in the middle stage of Jīn Dān. However, the Wú Cháng Sect has another Jīn Dān cultivator in the middle stage, as well as three Jīn Dān cultivators in the initial stage, with very strong power."

  Although Tiānzhú Shàng Rén was a master in the middle stage of Jīndān, he felt an instinctual sense of crisis when facing Jiāng Hé's magical image, as if he were facing a demon god that could erupt at any moment and tear him apart. Therefore, when facing Jiāng Hé, Tiānzhú Shàng Rén had not only loyalty to his master but also a trembling fear.

  "Alright, I'll let him wait outside for a moment. I'll go out now." Jiang He nodded and stopped his chanting to the magic image. But in his heart, he was guessing what Fang Taiji wanted with him.

  "Master Jiang, Mr. Fang has arrived to pay his respects." As soon as Jiang He entered the great hall, he saw a middle-aged man with a pale face leisurely sipping tea and chatting happily with the Heavenly Pillar Master. The man looked like he was in his thirties, elegant and refined, resembling an ethereal being floating on the wind.

  Jiang He secretly applauded, this was the kind of Xianmen cultivator he had imagined, a figure he had only seen in his sworn second brother Yun Xiao.

  That Fang Taiji saw Jiang He appear, and his heart was also shocked. Although it's not convenient to use divine sense scanning, Jiang He's obvious early foundation-building cultivation is unmistakable. A cultivator at the initial stage of foundation building can actually dominate the ten great golden elixirs and even destroy the Extinctive Sect with thunderous methods, which is truly extraordinary.

  Seeing Fang Taiji smiling and greeting himself, Jiang He also smiled: "Fang Zong can come to Jiuyi Sect, it's an honor for Jiang. Come, please sit down quickly."

  After the two men sat down as host and guest, Jiang He smiled and asked: "I wonder if Master Fang has any business here?"

  Fang Taiji thought to himself, "Although the young master of the Jiuxi Sect is not highly cultivated, he has a mysterious aura that makes it difficult for people to see through him. It's possible to cooperate with him." So he smiled and said, "I wonder what kind of exchange items Master Jiang has prepared for the upcoming Dan Wang Conference?"

  Fang Taiji felt that Jiang He was unfathomable, naturally because of his current noble status as the patriarch of a sect and his calm demeanor when facing him, unaffected by the influence of higher-ranking cultivators. If Jiang He were still just a small scattered cultivator on the side of the road, even with the same cultivation strength, Fang Taiji wouldn't have given him a second glance.

  "What's this Golden Elixir Conference? I've been in seclusion recently and don't know what this conference is about," said Jiang He.

  Fang Taiji smiled and said, "I don't know if what Jiang He said is true or false. Anyway, Master Jiang is young and promising, it's normal that he doesn't care about the Dan Wang Conference which is held once every ten years. Then I'll tell you about it, Master Jiang."

  "Thanks for your trouble, Master Fang." Jiang He smiled and said.

  The so-called Dan Wang Conference actually refers to the fact that Leiyang Zhenren, a high-ranking Taoist, opened the furnace to refine the elixir. The elixir has the wonderful effect of prolonging the lifespan of cultivators, which is extremely important for cultivators in the Yuan Ying period and below. As long as they have enough lifespan, they can gradually improve their cultivation. However, the refinement of the elixir is also very strict, requiring the convergence of earth energy and the induction of thunder to be successful. The refinement of the elixir has extremely high requirements for the environment and materials, and even Leiyang Zhenren's extremely high attainments in Taoism do not guarantee a high success rate.

  In this chaotic origin, there is a mountain called Buzhou Mountain. The land energy of Buzhou Mountain is dense and surrounded by thunder and lightning, making it an ideal place to refine the earthy Dan. Because of this, in less than ten years, Jiang He had almost collected enough materials for the earthly Dan and rushed to Buzhou Mountain to start the furnace once.

  Leiyang Zhenren's every firing of the furnace can refine about 200-300 grains of Diluodan. The chaotic power of the unranked source is in disarray, and if one person enjoys a good fortune alone, they will definitely be attacked by others. Therefore, Leiyang Zhenren will divide half of it each time to exchange for some precious materials with these Diluodan.

  After listening to Fang Taiji's introduction, Jiang He was really moved and wanted to go to the Dan Wang Conference to take a look. If he could get some pills that could rapidly improve his cultivation at that time, it would be a great bargain. However, the Netherworld Seal was about to appear, and if he missed it, he would regret it forever.

  Thinking of this, Jiang He didn't immediately respond to Fang Taiji, but instead smiled and asked: "Since the leader of the Fang family has been preparing for the Dan Wang Conference for a long time, I suppose you have prepared many precious items."

  "Not bad, Fang has indeed prepared a few items and should be able to exchange for several grains of Dan Luo. However, this time's Dan Wang Conference seems to have some hidden agenda, so I wanted to come and discuss with Master Jiang, just in case something unexpected happens, it would be good to have someone to rely on." Fang Taiji said seriously, and from his face, Jiang He could indeed see a few hints of sincerity.

  "Oh, what's going on?" Jiang He asked, he was now completely in the dark about things outside.

  "This time, apart from the various major forces of our Wujidao, all four factions have sent people, and several Tianlongs have also appeared in Longkong Mountain. I deduce that something big must be happening." Fang Taigui said in a low voice.

  What's going on? Jiang He had been worried about the Undying Force Symbol, and when he heard Fang Taiji's words, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that these people were after the Undying Force Symbol? If so, things would get complicated this time.

  Jiang was shocked in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't show it at all. He smiled and said to Zhong Fangtao: "In that case, I'd like to join in on the fun too. When the time comes, our two families can form an alliance of mutual defense, so we won't be taken advantage of by others."

  "Good, Jiang Zongzhu, I've been waiting for you to say that. From today on, our two sects will be brothers who advance and retreat together." Fang Taiji burst out laughing.

  "Come, Jiang old brother, I have a four-stage spiritual instrument here that has never been quite suitable for me. This time it's just right to give it to you as a gift of alliance." Fang Taiji smiled and took out a black long knife, the knife was shrouded in demonic energy, obviously more suitable for a demonic cultivator to use. Jiang He had just refined the Supreme True Devil and the demonic energy on his body had not yet dissipated, no wonder Fang Taiji mistook him for a demonic cultivator. Jiang He didn't explain, smiling as he accepted the black long knife.

  His divine sense flashed in the knife, but unexpectedly discovered a weak to extreme divine sense imprint, hidden in the corner of the long knife. If Jiang He's divine sense was not far superior to that of his peers, he might not have noticed it. Jiang He sneered coldly in his heart, never expecting that Fang Taiji would be so eager on the surface, but secretly treating himself with such convenience.

  Since you are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous. Jiang He thought to himself, and after a moment of contemplation, he smiled and said: "Brother Fang sent me such an expensive gift, but I don't have anything suitable to give in return."

  "Jiang, what are you talking about? Did I give you a gift just so you'd return it to me? This magic knife simply suits you, that's all." Fang Taiji said with feigned displeasure.

  "Since you're so kind, Brother Fang, I'd be too embarrassed to refuse. Alright, I'll share with you the cultivation method of the 'Condensed Flesh Technique' that I've practiced. You must accept it, or else it would be an insult to me." Jiang He said seriously, taking out a scroll from his storage bag, which recorded the cultivation method of the 'Small Puppet Technique'...
