Chapter 613: Chapter 585: Ruo Mu Brewing Human Life

“Not to mention where you can find so many fallen bodies of Golden Core Cultivators.”

“A cultivator, after death, returns to the heavens. Although the Gold Core is condensed from the cultivator’s understanding of the Heaven-Earth Principle, it is, after all, dependent on the Natural Treasure as its Tao Foundation.”

“After returning to the heavens, the Natural Treasure loses its uniqueness, and the law condensed in the Golden Core loses its foundation. The color of the Gold Core decreases, and after a long time, there is a risk of disintegration. It cannot be preserved for a long period.”

As if delving into his field of expertise, Wood Taoist makes a persuasive point.

A rare glimmer of color enlivens his face as the lines of tension smooth out casually..

“But all these problems and difficulties can be solved easily if the cultivator is willing.”

“While the cultivator is alive, if they remove the Gold Core, they won’t trigger the mechanisms of malevolence from Heaven and Earth. With the Natural Treasure as the core, the Gold Core can then be preserved for long periods.”

“Although the cultivator will lose their cultivation and become no different from a mortal. But after the Gold Core Realm, re-cultivating from the beginning wouldn’t waste too much effort!”

“Given sufficient resources, one can regather a new Golden Core within a maximum of ten years.”

“Yes, even though the production cycle is a bit long, with the current quantity of cultivators, we can achieve a harvest of hundreds of Golden Cores each year.”

Wood Taoist, using the calmest of words, utters chilling sentences.

“Long term, stable, harmless. Could that lucky punk, Zhang Debiao, compare with this?”

“He couldn’t compare!”

“So, fellow cultivator, if you have needs, do consider us first!”

Wood Taoist looked at Li Fan, a flash of fervor in his eyes.

Li Fan, obviously not swayed by his monologue, shook his head, “Fellow cultivator, don’t fool me. Are there really cultivators who would voluntarily have their Gold Core dug out and cycle this process every ten or so years? Just the thought of it horrifies me…”

“Misunderstanding, it’s a misunderstanding!” Wood Taoist hastily interrupted Li Fan.

“Our present extraction of Golden Cores can already be painless and harmless. Not only will the cultivators not feel pain, but they might also feel a different kind of comfort. I even know a guy who, in order to continuously experience the pleasure of having his Gold Core removed, immediately throws himself back into cultivation after each removal.”

“He is now our most efficient cultivator, producing a Dual Law Golden Core every three to four years on average.”

Wood Taoist does not see any issue with his words, speaking enthusiastically to Li Fan.

Even the usually detached Li Fan, upon looking at Wood Taoist, couldn’t help but feel a chill running through his heart.

“So, everything you’re worried about is unnecessary.”

“We have passed the inspection of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and are officially recognized. You see, each year we have to provide a certain amount of materials to the Immortal Alliance, and if there were any quality issues, they would be the first to come knocking! So feel free to trust us!”

Li Fan narrowed his eyes, “Does the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals also know about your activities? But why haven’t I heard of this before?”

Upon hearing this, Wood Taoist mumbled, “Isn’t it because our philosophy is too forward? The Immortal Alliance said that if it’s made public, it would certainly cause public misunderstanding.”

“Therefore, it’s being kept secret.”

“It’s normal that these ordinary people can’t accept it. But someone like you should be able to understand our methods, right?”

Wood Taoist looked at Li Fan expectantly.

“I can understand, it’s just temporarily a bit hard to accept.” Li Fan responded half-heartedly.

As if he had found a like-minded companion, Wood Taoist clapped his hands happily, “I knew it! I didn’t misjudge. Fellow cultivator, you are a person of great wisdom!”

He abruptly stood up and paced back and forth, excitedly saying: “It’s nature’s law that things harm their own kind. It’s normal for you to not completely change your perception immediately!”

“But I believe that once you personally visit us, you will quickly change your mind!”

“How about it? Do you want to come and have a look?”

Li Fan, without a second thought, was about to refuse directly.

However, an unexpected event occurred.

For some reason, looking at the frail and aged cultivator in front of him and thinking about all the Golden Cores that might be waiting for him there, Li Fan, who needed a whole Gold Core to unlock the anchor point, inexplicably changed his mind.

“Alright! I don’t mind going there for a look!”

He agreed with a nod.

The second the words left his mouth, Li Fan was filled with shock.

He suddenly realized.

The Gray Rob cultivator in front of him was certainly far more dangerous than he had imagined!

Why did he have to encounter such trouble just because he wanted to buy some Golden Cores?!

His luck was really bad!

Li Fan cursed silently, and mumbled: “Also…”

Before he could finish speaking, he stopped himself.

Unexpectedly, he felt there was nothing to worry about.

He wasn’t in imminent danger, right?

The other party, after all, was authenticated by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, so they wouldn’t resort to robbery and murder, right?

Moreover, he had spent a long time setting everything up to reach this point.

If he actually returned to the heavens, he would have to start from scratch, wouldn’t that be troublesome?

…

Countless thoughts surfaced in Li Fan’s spirit consciousness in an instant.

This managed to convince Li Fan himself, and he changed his decision.

“Wood Taoist, what should I call your place, and how should I get there?” Li Fan asked, appearing interested.

Wood Taoist slapped his forehead in dismay, “Oh, oh, I almost forgot to introduce you.”

“We call it…”

“Boiling Life.”

Whether it was Li Fan’s misconception or not, when Wood Taoist said the last sentence, his tone and expression became somewhat grim.

Only moments later, Wood Taoist regained his previous enthusiastic expression.

“As to how to get there…”

“Just grab onto me!”

So naturally and rightfully, Li Fan grabbed the sleeve of Wood Taoist.

“Stand steady, fellow cultivator!”

Wood Taoist shouted and began chanting a short spell: “Heaven and Earth have Ruo Mu, day and night sapping the lifespan…”

It appeared as if billows of thick smoke were rolling towards them, and in the blink of an eye, all around was covered in Grey Mist.

Aside from the continuously twisting lights and shadows, as well as the weird sounds that roared by.

No other scenes could be seen.

However, at this moment, there wasn’t a shred of danger felt in Li Fan’s heart.

Even when looking at the enveloping Grey Mist, an inexplicable sense of belonging seeped into his heart.

It feels as if he was always supposed to be there.

After an unknown period, the Grey Mist disappeared.

The surrounding landscape became clear again.

“We’re here, fellow cultivator!”

Following Wood Taoist’s announcement, Li Fan also got a clear view of Boiling Life.

A towering tree, yet withered yellow all over with spots, stood before them.

On its branches were countless cultivators, hanging densely.

Just like a tree full of fruits.
