Chapter 665

Inkman King warns land spirit that goading Fang Yuan is risky, since Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng between them brought down Imperial Court blessed land and Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. Land spirit is unmoved: he baited the brat to teach him respect for elders, and asks what foundation a strength path immortal zombie could possibly have. He offers to eat his medicine grinder if Fang Yuan can deduce an Immortal Gu recipe. Tai Bai Yun Sheng says nothing. He is certain his confidence rests not in Fang Yuan but in wisdom Gu. ^{ch. 665}

Inside the wisdom light halo, Fang Yuan deduces the first remnant recipe, a ninety nine percent completion, to a full one hundred percent. The final step feels unlikely, and he can barely believe he found it himself. Deducing a Gu recipe demands foundation and inspiration, since even deep foundation can stall for years, even decades or a century. Fang Yuan reasons that wisdom Gu supplies the inspiration he lacked, though he has only stood inside the halo, not fully activated the rank nine Gu. ^{ch. 665}

He finds ample joyful will in reserve. The second, a ninety seven percent remnant, costs only a third of his joyful will. The third gives him slight trouble. Its completion stood at ninety six percent, yet he burns three beads of green grape immortal essence before perfecting it. Even so, weighing the coming deal, Fang Yuan judges the profit enormous. ^{ch. 665}

Fang Yuan connects to treasure yellow heaven. He reaches land spirit through divine sense Gu. Land spirit assumes the call means surrender, then sits stunned when Fang Yuan hands over a completed, one hundred percent Immortal Gu recipe. He is soon absorbed entirely in its contents, shouting his amazement. The praise stops abruptly, and an embarrassed look crosses his face as he remembers how pessimistic he had been. ^{ch. 665}

Land spirit grumbles that the brat simply got lucky. Still, their contract stands: a rank six remnant recipe completed to ninety percent or higher pays ten immortal essence stones. Treasure yellow heaven charges a fee and leaves traces, while collecting in person costs a bead for Fixed Immortal Travel. ^{ch. 665}

Fang Yuan asks whether land spirit’s nature means he already owns stargate Gu, and land spirit admits he does. Land spirit had refined two sets from a recipe Fang Yuan gave him, handing one to Fang Yuan and keeping the other. Since the two blessed lands sit in different regions, Fang Yuan proposes a stargate to join them, treasure yellow heaven being unsafe as trades repeat. Land spirit refuses outright. A stargate would carry any calamity on Fang Yuan’s side straight to his own, and if Lang Ya blessed land is ever discovered through it, his life will become difficult. ^{ch. 665}

Fang Yuan does not press the point and hands over the second recipe instead. Land spirit is hugely shocked, praising the method and asking how Fang Yuan thought to use the refinement material intimate grass. Fang Yuan boasts that the new generation replaces the old, that land spirit stays shut inside Lang Ya blessed land, and that even his friend the Inkman King cannot grasp human cultivation. He calls himself a peerless wisdom path genius. He claims he will surpass Star Constellation Immortal Venerable. ^{ch. 665}

Land spirit is dumbfounded, wanting to argue, but the two recipes that had troubled him for years now lie solved. Fang Yuan claims a twist of fate made him a strength path immortal zombie despite wisdom path being the road heaven had meant for him. Unable to bear the act, land spirit stamps his foot and dares him to solve the one recipe even his own main body could not. Fang Yuan says nothing. Then he tosses out the third completed recipe. ^{ch. 665}

Land spirit’s laughter stops at once. He shouts in shock, his voice edged with panic. His panic is no small thing, since he was formed only from an obsession and was never shrewd. He takes the recipe as a heavy blow: he had handed that one over to make things hard, and never imagined it could be solved. He cycles through disbelief, ecstasy, and finally a quiet frustration, taking in that a problem his main body could not resolve, Fang Yuan resolved. ^{ch. 665}
