Chapter 746: The Amber Square Stone

Fusangzi still harbored resentment towards the sword strike from Jiang Yun earlier.

For him, the moment when the sword tip pierced his forehead was the closest he had ever been to death in his life.

Guluo shook his head and said, "This person’s origin is unpredictable, he hides his strength very well, and he has many good things on him."

"Fusangzi, you don’t know this, but that sword of his seems to be a Dao Tool!"

Fusangzi was born a monster within the Dao Prison and had never seen a Dao Tool, but Xiang Hongchen seemed to know and couldn’t help but look surprised.

"How could he possess a Dao Tool? And when he entered the Dao Prison, why weren’t his belongings taken away?"

Guluo shook his head, saying, "I don’t know! But this only further proves that his background outside must be extraordinary."

"Moreover, besides being a Demon Refiner, he also seems to be a pharmacist, so for someone like him, I think it’s better to get closer to him."

This sentence made Fusangzi and Xiang Hongchen look even more surprised.

They never expected that Jiang Yun could possibly be a pharmacist.

As a cultivator, although seeking strength, what they cultivate is usually quality over quantity.

Especially practicing alchemy and refining monsters require a lot of time. They have never heard of anyone holding both roles at the same time.

Fusangzi’s surprised expression turned into doubt, "Are you sure?"

Guluo then told the story of the Qiao family’s plight and concluded, "In this Dao Prison, only a pharmacist besides a fool would disregard Heaven Level and Earth Level pills!"

Gu Jiang certainly is not a fool. In the hearts of the three, Jiang Yun surpasses others in strength, intelligence, and even courage.

Fusangzi pondered and asked, "Do you know why he was sent to Dao Prison?"

Guluo shook his head, "I really don’t know. These things are usually taboo, so I didn’t dare inquire."

After a moment of silence, Fusangzi finally spoke, "Let’s not talk about this now. Let’s wait to see what he decides, and then we can discuss it again!"

"During this time, we must keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn’t leave Peach Blossom City!"

With the three of them reaching a temporary agreement, Guluo and Xiang Hongchen said goodbye and left one after the other.

Fusangzi touched the wound on his forehead, his eyes filled with a look of hatred as he murmured to himself, "Gu Jiang, oh Gu Jiang, I will avenge this sword debt sooner or later!"

…

In that moment, Jiang Yun seemed to have turned into an ordinary person, walking on the streets and observing everything around him.

Among the bustling crowd were cultivators and regular people, humans and demon race, all with a rare sense of ease on their faces.

Various shops lined the streets, offering goods for cultivators and ordinary people alike.

"No wonder they call Peach Blossom City a paradise on earth, with so many people eager to come in. It truly lives up to its reputation."

"If you have no worries about the outside world, it’s actually not bad to live here peacefully."

After wandering the streets for a while, Jiang Yun suddenly came across nine houses that were identical in shape, standing side by side with a chimney on top of each one.

The houses were surrounded by several fences, with only one entrance at the front.

At the entrance stood a large stone with a middle-aged man sitting on top of it.

Jiang Yun stopped in his tracks, looking up and down at the nine houses.

What caught his attention was not the houses themselves, but the powerful energy of the formation coming from within them.

Obviously, this was a special formation used by other cultivators to shield against toxins.

Jiang Yun was very interested in this formation. After looking at it for a while, he took a step forward, and the middle-aged man opened his eyes and said, "Stop right there!"

However, when he saw the bamboo stick in Jiang Yun’s hand, he immediately stood up respectfully and said, "All the houses are currently empty. You can choose any one to enter, sir."

Although it’s very tempting for a cultivator to absorb pure spirit energy, it’s not a good long-term plan because it’s expensive. So, not many people usually enter these formations.

Jiang Yun casually chose a room and walked in.

The room was empty except for eighteen stones placed in the middle of the floor.

Nine of the stones were spirit stones, and the other nine were amber-colored square stones. Though they looked different, they were all palm-sized and arranged together to form a formation.

Jiang Yun looked at the nine square stones with confusion because he had never seen this kind of stone before.

At that moment, the middle-aged man said, "Since no one has used it, the formation hasn’t been activated yet. Once you enter, I will activate it for you."

Jiang Yun nodded, walked into the stones, sat cross-legged, and as the formation activated, his divine sense spread out around him.

With Jiang Yun’s expertise in formations, it only took a moment for him to understand how the formation was set up.

This formation seemed impressive but was actually not very practical. It claimed to shield against toxins but mainly attracted a lot of spirit energy.

Just like how Jiang Yun first took the Qi-gathering Pill inside the Seeking-Tao Sect.

What really works are those nine amber square stones!

They can actually absorb poison gas!

Strangely, within these amber square stones seems to exist a power that can even block divine sense!

In short, this formation absorbs a large amount of spirit qi into the formation through the chimney on the roof.

Then, the poison gas in the spirit qi will be absorbed by the square stones, allowing cultivators to absorb pure spirit qi.

Although this formation left Jiang Yun greatly disappointed, the amber square stones aroused his great interest.

If he could collect these square stones in large quantities, he could also set up such a formation.

"What kind of stone is this, exactly?"

When Firebird, who was feeling bored perched on Jiang Yun’s shoulder, heard him mutter to himself, it glanced over and said, "I feel like I’ve seen that stone somewhere before!"

Jiang Yun’s eyes lit up instantly and he asked, "Where?"

Firebird scratched its head with its wing and said, "I can’t remember!"

Just as it finished speaking, Jiang Yun had a Beast Core in his hand.

After Firebird glanced at the Beast Core, it lifted its head high and said, "You don’t need to tempt me with the Beast Core, I really can’t remember!"

Jiang Yun flipped his wrist and the Beast Core in his palm transformed into a pill.

However, after Firebird secretly swallowed some saliva, it showed a look of disdain and said, "Even the pill won’t work!"

This made Jiang Yun narrow his eyes slightly, grit his teeth, and changed the pill into a Spirit-Enhancing Pill with a Heaven Level, saying, "If you still can’t remember, then forget it!"

"I remember, I remember!"

The Firebird suddenly opened its mouth, grabbed the Spirit-Enhancing Pill, swallowed it, and then contentedly said, "I’ve seen this kind of stone at Fusangzi’s place!"

"Fusangzi?" Jiang Yun was slightly surprised.

"To be precise, it should be Fusangzi’s true form!"

The Firebird burped and explained cheerfully, "Fusangzi’s true form, the Fusang Tree, is actually hidden deep underground in this Peach Blossom City."

"The first time I came to steal the Fusang Leaves, I saw this kind of stone there!"

"By the way, there seems to be powerful restrictions set up near that stone!"

Firebird’s explanation made Jiang Yun’s eyes suddenly gleam with cold light!
