Cleanse Soul Refined!
Examining the snow lotus essence he has just obtained, Fang Yuan finds it a rare rank seven material he has never seen before, gained in a huge amount through the variant human alliance. It grows only in large scale snowman tribes, and the five regions are ruled by humans while variant human tribes are pushed to the corners of the world. Sixth Hair is surprised the snowman tribe amassed so much, and Fang Yuan calls the material very rare even in treasure yellow heaven, sure to spark a bidding war, sold in small amounts only because the tribes fear exposure. Seeing a possible opening to broker such trades himself, Fang Yuan sets the thought aside and tells Sixth Hair to begin modifying the cleanse soul Immortal Gu recipe now that the material is in hand. Sixth Hair haggles for contribution points to keep his cover, and settles on a price that satisfies him. Fang Yuan then returns to his cloud city. ch. 1443
Fang Yuan judges the flowers, ice-cold yet warm with life force, an extremely good replacement for the flowing fire core in the original recipe, since he uses the ice refinement method that snow lotus essence suits better. He leaves the modification mainly to Sixth Hair, whose refinement path attainment is higher. One Immortal Gu can have many recipes, and a refinement path expert may swap in a better material once one appears. Fang Yuan meanwhile returns to Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po Valley to cultivate soul path with methods from Spectral Soul’s true inheritance. Within days he has nearly restored the soul foundation that burning soul bursting luck had once entirely depleted in Western Desert. He resolves to use burning soul bursting luck himself and fix his own luck, since too many are luck connected for Ying Wu Xie to pass on its full effect, and he means to master lead soul into dream himself later. ch. 1443
After more than half a month, the two combine their separately reworked recipes and begin refining; the first three attempts fail, wasting large amounts of immortal material but sharpening the recipe further. A fourth attempt, boosted by burning soul bursting luck, reaches the final step before failing, and attempts five through fourteen fail in turn as Fang Yuan rebuilds his soul foundation between tries. The fifteenth attempt succeeds. Fang Yuan holds cleanse soul Immortal Gu at last, the combined tally between him and Sixth Hair close to thirty attempts in total. The resources spent were incomparably enormous for one rank six Immortal Gu, more than an ordinary Gu Immortal, or Fang Yuan’s own past self, could have borne. Success comes from Shadow Sect’s true inheritances, Lang Ya Sect as a buyer for them, ample snow lotus essence, and Sixth Hair’s committed support. ch. 1443
