"Mother, rest assured, though Sun Wukong is strong and possesses extensive divine skills, we brothers are not afraid of him. It’s fine if he does not come, but if he does, he will surely not return," said The Great Golden Horned King, gritting his teeth.

Just thinking about that damned monkey, who took advantage of their unguarded moment years ago to sneak into the Tushita Palace and steal the Immortal Pill from the master, causing them both great distress, Golden Horn felt his teeth itch with rage, wishing he could kill that thieving scoundrel.

Having received news about the Scripture Seeker, The Great Golden Horned King’s gaze towards Lin Fang became even more intense. He asked softly, "Since you’ve seen the Scripture Seeker, can you draw their portraits?"

Lin Fang smiled faintly and said, "That would not be difficult."

"Good, if you can capture their likenesses, I will grant you a wish."

Without being modest, Lin Fang asked someone to bring paper and ink and started to draw. Soon, the images of Tang Monk and his disciples appeared on the paper. Although the style was a bit abstract, portraits of the era were mostly like this.

Even so, this was enough to delight Golden Horn and Silver Horn. They quickly took the paintings and praised with a smile, "Impressive, I didn’t expect to find such a character among the little demons. Since that’s the case, state any request you have."

"I have always admired the Immortals in heaven, especially their powerful magical treasures. Every time I hear their legends, I can’t help but aspire to see them. I’ve heard that the two great kings possess a few treasures that are rare in the world, and I wish to observe them if possible," Lin Fang remarked.

The request took The Great Golden Horned King by surprise, but although those treasures were precious, they were not something that just anyone could take. They were usually kept in the treasury, and there was no harm in showing them to Lin Fang.

"It’s fine for you to see the treasures, but you can only view them in the treasury and not take them out," The Great Golden Horned King stipulated.

Lin Fang quickly agreed, as he had never intended to steal the treasures. Taking them would be akin to taking the Life-taking Talisman from The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord. His interest was in the runes and the pathways of the formations within the treasures, having these would be as possessing the treasures themselves.

Thus, in exchange for painting portraits of the two demon kings, Lin Fang successfully bargained for the opportunity to observe the magical treasures every day, and this opened a new door for him.

In the following period, Lin Fang traveled back and forth between Yalong Cave and Lotus Cave, continuously enriching his mind. The runes on those treasures were vast like the ocean, and Lin Fang greedily absorbed the knowledge within.

He decoded one mysterious rune after another and gradually understood the roots of the Path of Artifact Refining.

The so-called Artifact Refining was essentially using mana as a pen to inscribe runes on a treasure, and the strength of the runes and their configuration would result in different effects and qualities.

Lin Fang speculated that the original Artifact Refining must have been derived from The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord observing treasures of Heaven and Earth. By mastering them, he essentially grasped the avenue to the heavens.

One night, Lin Fang, rubbing his forehead, walked out of the treasure vault of Lotus Cave and was immediately greeted by the bored Bashan Tiger and Yi Hailong.

As Bashan Tiger had said, Yi Hailong was a Snake Demon, but his Transformation was rather crude; aside from having a human body, his tail and head still resembled that of a serpent.

Since they met Lin Fang, these little monsters were incredibly eager around him, mainly because Lin Fang’s Transformation was what they aspired to achieve. Thus, they persistently bothered Lin Fang for tips.

Lin Fang, not one to withhold his knowledge, was a person who had perfected his Transformation. His understanding of the Path of Transformation far surpassed these little monsters. A few casual tips from him brought them immense benefits, and soon they became Lin Fang’s loyal followers, constantly orbiting him, almost forgetting their duties in Lotus Cave.

"Lin Fang, you’ve finally come out. We’ve saved some food for you. The food and drink today are very good, and don’t worry, there’s no human meat," Yi Hailong said with a smile, knowing that Lin Fang did not like to eat human flesh.

Lin Fang greeted them with a smile and began eating the meal they brought. Honestly, it was very ordinary, but among demons, it was quite good, perhaps because Golden Horn and Silver Horn preferred not to eat humans.

However, speaking of which, unless they were like the three demons of Shituo City who occupied an entire kingdom, it was difficult to eat humans. The places where monsters lived were mostly uninhabited, and they could only capture a few passersby, but ordinary people would not choose such densely forested paths. This made it as rare as winning the lottery for ordinary monsters to eat humans, barely catching one occasionally.

Only the Demon King could, with his ability to ride the wind and command the clouds, naturally travel to faraway places to capture humans for their flesh.

Under the bright moon, Lin Fang slowly walked out of the Lotus Cave, strolling atop Pingding Mountain.

The flat top of the mountain was covered in wildflowers of all colors, as if stars twinkle incredibly spectacularly, and a breeze stirred, revealing fireflies hidden among the flowers. Suddenly, a greenish glow filled the sky.

As Lin Fang gazed at the beautiful scenery before him, he couldn’t calm his heart to enjoy it, all because of the fiery heat in his chest caused by that mysterious book.

Finding a secluded spot, Lin Fang summoned Journey to the West. The pages turned, and soon he reached the episode where the Peach-Stealing Great Sage steals the pill, defying the heavenly gods and capturing the monster.

Mist swirled, and gradually, images appeared before Lin Fang. He saw seven fairies, each dressed in colorful immortal robes, float by, carrying baskets and walking towards a mansion labeled with the big characters "Qitian Residence."

They entered the Peach Garden led by the Earth God, which was followed by the scene where Sun Wukong captured the Seven Fairy Maidens.

At this moment, Lin Fang was puzzled. Could it be possible to draw out a fairy maiden for me?

Immediately after, a flash of light appeared, but it was not the Seven Fairy Maidens; instead, a peach tree beside them materialized. A large peach danced into the air, gradually passing through the mist, and landed in Lin Fang’s hands.

Suddenly, the mist dispersed, and all the scene vanished. The Journey to the West, flying in the air, also faded and plunged into Lin Fang’s chest and disappeared without a trace.

Lin Fang, holding the peach, sighed slightly. He had really thought a fairy might fall from the sky. It seemed this book couldn’t make its characters appear.

Looking at the ripe peach, which emitted a fragrant aroma that made Lin Fang continuously swallow his saliva, the surrounding wildflowers began to grow wildly under the influence of the peach, leaving Lin Fang absolutely dumbfounded.

"Goodness, no wonder all the gods in heaven rush to the Peach Banquet. Truly a magnificent item," Lin Fang exclaimed.

Without any hesitation, he quickly devoured the peach, and immediately a majestic vitality began to nourish his entire body.

Lin Fang did not dare to slack, quickly circulating his cultivation technique to transform this vast vitality into mana, which nourished his soul.

As his soul grew stronger, Lin Fang concentrated his thought, and his soul leapt out of his head, frantically absorbing the essence of moonlight. Countless moonlight entered his soul, solidifying what was once somewhat ethereal, making it indistinguishable from a physical body in an instant.

Lin Fang could feel that now, with his soul out of his body, he was not bound by heaven and earth, free to travel; with a slight leap, he entered into a tree and slowly poked his head out, looking quite terrifying.

This was the profound mystery of the soul, being disembodied, it could pass through solid matter without restriction, and even enter another’s body, usurp their place, and rebirth.

Refining essence to transform qi, refining qi to transform spirit, and now he had reached the end of refining qi to transform the spirit. Once he could obtain just a bit of Pure Yang to turn his soul into a body of the Yang Spirit, he would touch upon the path of Refining the Spirit to Revert to the Void. Then, he could perceive the mysteries of heaven and earth, the laws of nature, thus forming various Divine Skills and be called a True Immortal.

After playing around for a while and fully mastering the mysteries of soul travel, Lin Fang leapt back into his own body. His whole person shone with moonlight, appearing especially mysterious.

"Finally reaching this step, once I cultivate Pure Yang, I can also be called among the immortals," Lin Fang happily muttered to himself.
