The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 424 Bodhi Reverend

The vigorous flames of the furnace emitted a strong, pungent odor.

The miasma and fireworks stench in the air were incredibly intense here.

Clearly, the foul air in Yangshou Mountain originated from this Alchemy Furnace.

Sitting beside the Alchemy Furnace, the emaciated figure of Sanyang Lord had sparse hair and appeared frightfully ugly, like a dried corpse.

When he grinned, only a few rotten yellow teeth remained in his gaping, toothless mouth.

Li Muyang frowned slightly when he saw that the sacred palace of the old Immortal of Yangshou Mountain was occupied by such a bizarre creature, feeling somewhat displeased.

But when he thought of the old, childlike Immortal who had already perished, he felt a touch of melancholy and dispiritedness.

With a sigh, Li Muyang said, "Sanyang Lord has invited me repeatedly. Today I have finally arrived and would like to inquire where the legendary Dragon Spine Sword is?"

Li Muyang didn't beat around the bush with the old monster, directly asking his question.

But Sanyang Lord did not answer his question. Instead, he pointed at the huge Alchemy Furnace before them.

"Dragon Goddess should know, what kind of Immortal Elixir is being refined in this furnace?"

Li Muyang looked at the enormous Alchemy Furnace before him.

Under the glow of the blazing furnace fire, the Alchemy Furnace changed colors unpredictably, and the emerging mist formed faint silhouettes of Immortals.

Li Muyang shook his head, "I don't know. I ask Sanyang Lord for guidance."

Facing Li Muyang's honesty, Sanyang Lord grinned, revealing two exaggeratedly large yellow teeth within Li's view.

"Heh heh... The Dragon Goddess should know that I've lived for over eighteen hundred years without dying. This lifespan has already surpassed the limit of this world."

"But it's still not enough, I wish to live even longer. The last hope to continue living lies with this pill in the furnace..."

Sanyang Lord stretched his hand towards the nearby Pill Furnace, saying, "The substance being refined in this furnace is called 'Ghost Marrow Elixir.' One batch produces ten pills, and one Ghost Marrow Elixir can extend life by two hundred years!"

"This is an ancient Immortal Elixir from before the dark cataclysm, and I obtained the recipe."

"If I can succeed in refining it, I will extend my life by two thousand years!"

"At this very moment, the Pill Furnace is at a critical stage, yet it lacks one essential ingredient. I need the Dragon Goddess's assistance."

"And the location of that crucial ingredient is precisely where the Dragon Spine Sword lies. You and I, we share the same enemy!"

Sanyang Lord's eyes gleamed eagerly.

Li Muyang's thoughts stirred.

"Ghost Marrow Elixir? Does it share an origin with the Seven Marrow Pill from the Temple of Buddha's Mother?"

He recalled the seven Divine Marrow Pills given to him by Temple-Sealing Lord in "Deadly Grasses".

Temple-Sealing Lord had died in the North Land... Could it be that the formula had been obtained by some evil being beyond the borders?

And Sanyang Lord's reply confirmed Li Muyang's guess.

"Exactly, the Ghost Marrow Elixir and the Seven Marrow Pill share the same origin."

Sanyang Lord candidly replied, "This is a secret medicine developed by an ancient demon, which I acquired by chance. My first batch of Ghost Marrow Elixir was made using the corpse of that demon, while the formula for the Seven Marrow Pill was stolen from me by the Temple of Buddha's Mother, though its efficacy is much weaker than Ghost Marrow Elixir."

Sanyang Lord hastily explained the origin of the formula, then eagerly said to Li Muyang, "The key ingredient needed for my Ghost Marrow Elixir is the flesh and blood of a creature that has lived for over three hundred years in the North Land."

"Those who meet this requirement include the Buddha's Mother from the Temple, White Second Master who commands a horde of demons, Elder Sang from Forgetfulness Lake, and..."

As Sanyang Lord said this, he flashed a brilliant smile at Li Muyang, "The revered one behind those roaming spirits beyond the borders!"

Li Muyang's eyes narrowed, "So you're going to find the revered one of the wandering gods?"

Lord Shanyang chuckled and nodded, "If I were to seek out someone else, the Dragon Goddess might not intervene to help me."

"But that revered one among the wandering gods, not only is he an enemy of the Dragon Goddess, he also wields the Dragon Spine Sword forged from the spine of a true dragon."

"That sword, in his hands, isn't of much use. But if it were to fall into the hands of the Dragon Goddess, it would definitely bring huge benefits!"

"If the target is this old creature, I believe the Dragon Goddess will go. At that time, the Dragon Goddess will take the Dragon Spine Sword, and I will harvest the old monster's corpse, each of us getting what we need."

Lord Shanyang quickly elucidated the transaction.

In Li Muyang's view, a system prompt also appeared.

[Mission: An Invitation from Lord Shanyang]

[Mission Content: Join forces with Lord Shanyang to slay the Tree Demon Bodhi Reverend]

[Do you accept this mission?]

[Yes/No]

After the system prompt appeared in his view, Li Muyang took a moment to think.

Then he nodded, "Good! We will join forces."

"Do you have a plan?"

His ultimate mission had always been to find the Dragon Spine Sword; now that he had learned the exact whereabouts of the Dragon Spine Sword, and he had an additional powerful ally to assist in battle.

There was no reason to refuse.

As Li Muyang accepted the mission, Lord Shanyang again spread a wide grin, showing a radiant smile.

"Hehe... That revered one of the wandering gods, is the most powerful, most ancient entity north of Yin Mountain."

"His way of existing is different from ours, thus he has a long lifespan, having lived nearly ten thousand years. It is said that he awoken to consciousness not long after the Dark Cataclysm."

"He calls himself Bodhi Reverend, but we call him the Tree Demon Old Monster."

"Once he got his hands on the Dragon Spine Sword, he hid it within the trunk of his own Bodhi Tree, attempting to extract the power of the Dragon Spine Sword for his own use."

"That massive Bodhi Tree is hollow on the inside, with paths running through the trunk in all directions—it's almost like a small universe in itself."

"He nourishes many wandering gods with the flesh and blood of immortals. Those wandering gods are born from his tree seeds, and as long as they are on the soil of North Land, no matter how many times they die, they can resurrect."

"Usually, the old tree demon uses these tree sons to roam across North Land, gathering intelligence, monitoring the land."

"But without the surveillance of this group of tree sons, the tree demon's own sensing power is very weak."

"When we go to kill him, a direct assault won't work, the tree demon is powerful, and the number of tree demons he has nurtured is countless—no one can stand against him directly."

"But we can take advantage of the tree demon's weak sensing, sneak inside his body, and drill into the core of his trunk to launch a surprise attack."

"His vital spirit hides in the most protected core position of the trunk, and if we burst in there, with two against one, his death is certain!"

Lord Shanyang quickly finished outlining the plan, his tone urgent and his reasoning clear.

Clearly, he had been planning this surprise tactic for a long time.

He even pulled a messy map from his bosom, which was a distribution map of the wandering gods inside the body of the Tree Demon Bodhi Reverend, figured out by some means.

"We will conceal our aura, avoid the eyes of those wandering gods, and enter from here..."

Lord Shanyang pointed to a gap on the map, saying, "This spot is very hidden, rarely visited by wandering gods, we will enter from here!"
