Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 1

[Chapter 1 People are forced into a corner]

The north wind is as sharp as a knife, blowing up thousands of piles of snow.

The severe winter is like a prison, and water turns to ice as soon as it falls.

Amidst the snow, a lush green bamboo forest grows. The green bamboo leaves are like emeralds, with a translucent luster, and the water droplets on them are like sparkling pearls, each emitting a glow.

Wisps of dreamy white mist linger around, making this place look like a fairyland.

On the bamboo forest floor, a lizard-like creature quickly crawled through the grass, and the scales on its back left only a few wisps of strange colors in the air.

Hiss!
A gust of cold air suddenly appeared and fell on the lizard.

The temperature around it dropped suddenly, and the lizard was instantly frozen to the ground, turning into a lifelike ice sculpture.

“Finally caught this damn thief.”

The bamboo forest moved, and a young man walked out.

He had nimble steps, a figure as straight as a pine tree, regular features, and eyes like a clear pool. He was wearing a thick cotton jacket, and at this moment, there was a look of relief on his face.

Fang Xi came to the ice sculpture, raised his hand to pick up the frozen lizard and weighed it. His face gradually fell, and he kept muttering: “What a loss!”

“The low-rank demon insect, the Skink, is worth a Spirit Crystal. In order to catch it, I wasted three days of my time and also consumed an ‘Ice Talisman’. Although this talisman is only of the first-rank, it still costs half a Spirit Crystal!”

Fang Xi’s face was full of depression.

The so-called “Spirit Crystals” are fragments of Spirit Stones. Generally speaking, ten Spirit Crystals can be exchanged for one low-grade Spirit Stone.

This business is, of course, a loss-making one.

But, I have to do it!

Because Fang Xi is the spiritual farmer of this bamboo forest, next year’s harvest depends entirely on the growth of this bamboo, so he naturally cannot let this evil insect destroy it.

Whoosh!

A gust of cold wind blew, making Fang Xi shiver.

He looked up at the sky where snow was falling again, and he couldn’t help but wrap his cotton jacket tightly around him. He sighed in his heart, “I have already traveled through time for a year without realizing it. If it weren’t for traveling through time, I wouldn’t have believed it. It turns out that immortal cultivators also fear the cold…”

Yes, Fang Xi is a time traveler!
His time travel was ordinary and nothing special. In his previous life, he worked hard, but after being admitted to university, he became decadent, neglected his studies, and couldn’t find a good job. After graduation, his parents told him to join the army of civil servants, and then he was tortured by the math questions in the civil service exam.

Facts have proved that even if people are pushed into a corner, they still can’t solve math problems!

Unfortunately, before the civil service exam results came out, Fang Xi traveled through time while he was in the examination room!

As soon as he opened his eyes, he came to this world where immortal cultivators existed, and he was possessed by a young man named Fang Xi.

This young man named Fang Xi has the third level of Qi Refining. He is a solitary spiritual farmer in the Qingzhu Mountain Market of Yue State in the Southern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World!
Originally, Fang Xi was still a little skeptical about time travel, but after struggling for several hours, when he released the first small spell in his life according to his body memory, he finally became convinced that he really mastered supernatural powers and became a high and mighty immortal!

Of course, those who practice Taoism are not yet immortals. They still have some mortal elements and must experience cold and heat, and even birth, aging, sickness and death.

However, Fang Xi also knew from his memory that as the cultivator’s skills grow and his realm improves, he can indeed prolong his life, become immune to all diseases, and even achieve true immortality.

The best example is the Situ family, which controls the Qingzhu Mountain Market. It is said that there are more than one “foundation-building master” in the family!
As foundation-building cultivators, they completely meet the imagination of mortals. At least, their life span is doubled, and they can easily live for two hundred years!
Two hundred years! In the previous life, this is enough to witness the rise and fall of most dynasties.

Therefore, Fang Xi chose to inherit everything from the original owner, continued to be a spiritual farmer in the market, and began his own journey of cultivating immortals.

at this time.

Even though he said he was disgusted, after complaining for a while, Fang Xi still carefully put away the stone dragon. After all, it was also a spirit crystal!

He inherited the savings of the original owner, and now his entire fortune is only worth dozens of spirit crystals!

As for the six mu of land in the ‘Emerald Jade Bamboo Forest’ that he managed, every year when the bamboo rice matured, after paying half of the tax, there would only be 100 jin left, which was about one stone, worth only 30 spirit crystals…

After working hard for a year, I earned only three low-grade spirit stones…

“Alas, cultivating immortality is difficult, and surviving is even more difficult!”

Fang Xi sighed, waved his hand to flick off the snowflakes on his body, and began to clear the weeds in the bamboo forest.

These weeds are also nourished by the spiritual energy and grow very hard. If you are not careful, they will compete with the jade bamboo for nutrients and affect the harvest.

Therefore, if you want to be a spiritual farmer, you must be proficient in small spells such as the Spring Breeze Rain Technique and the Gengjin Kusanagi Sword.

Although Fang Xi inherited the original owner’s memory, farm work was still very difficult and his life was very painful.

The third level of Qi Refining is only the initial stage in the Qi Refining period. In the Qingzhu Mountain Market, it is not uncommon to see cultivators at the fourth level or above in the middle stage. Occasionally, there are masters at the seventh level or above. However, in the world of cultivating immortals, the law of the jungle is prevalent, and cases of plundering and robbery are common.

Even high-level magic cultivators, in order to refine powerful spells or even magic weapons, would sacrifice blood within a radius of hundreds of miles. Although such tragedies are rare, they are clearly recorded in books.

Sometimes, Fang Xi even thought about giving up the path of cultivating immortals and returning to the mortal world to become a rich man with many wives and concubines, and living the rest of his life there.

But soon, he abandoned this idea.

After all, in terms of enjoyment, even ancient emperors may not be able to catch up with an ordinary modern person.

The only thing that can surpass modern people is the temptation of transcendence and immortality!

Therefore, although life was hard, Fang Xi still gritted his teeth and persevered.

The sky was as dark as ink.

Fang Xi looked up, glanced at the sky, and began to rush back to his residence.

Although there is a mountain protection formation in Qingzhu Mountain Market, in order to save spirit stones, it usually only protects the main street of the market and the surrounding shops. Don’t even think about covering the entire mountain or even the Lingtian area.

Therefore, this area is not very safe at night.

Although there is a law enforcement team patrolling the area of the Situ family, robberies and robberies still occur from time to time. Fang Xi certainly won’t risk his life.

The residential area of the spiritual farmers is close to the mountaintop market, which is also a place where patrols pass by frequently, so it is relatively safe.

Fang Xi made malicious speculations, probably because they, the spiritual farmers, were poor and looked down upon by the robbery cultivators.

After walking up the mountain for a while, a low shantytown came into view. Each house was surrounded by a fence, and the sounds of chickens and dogs could be heard from each other.

When Fang Xi saw this, a smile appeared on his face.

After walking a few steps, an old farmer-looking cultivator passed by and greeted him with a smile: “Brother Fang, do you want to find a nice place to play?”

His face was full of wrinkles, and when he smiled he revealed two big yellow teeth. His aura was actually lower than Fang Xi’s, at around the second level of Qi Refining.

This is Fang Xi’s neighbor, Old Maitou.

Fang Xi didn’t know the other person’s origins, but they saw each other every day, so they developed a certain friendship.

Seeing the other person’s expression at this time, he immediately knew where the other person was going.

In the shanty towns that seem to be built casually with wooden boards, there are also Kunxiu. They don’t do much farming, but their lives are relatively affluent and they have their own means of making a living.

Old Maitou has been farming for an earlier year than Fang Xi, but his life is very difficult and he even came to borrow spirit crystals. One can imagine where his savings went.

Fang Xi shook his head and refused: “Old Mai, I still need to practice in the evening…”

In fact, as soon as he got familiar with this body, he went to the Zuixianlou in the market, spent half of his fortune, had a great night, and walked out leaning against the wall…

I have to admit, those little fairies who specialize in the art of seduction are really annoying.

Since then, Fang Xi has put all his energy into farming. There is no other way, as he is short of money…

“How can I find a young lady to taste tea if I don’t save money? I don’t drink old tea…”

Fang Xi returned to his room and opened the door.

His room is very large, divided into small rooms such as the living room, bedroom, and practice room… Some Kun cultivators would also plant some spiritual vegetables and raise some spiritual birds inside the fence, which can be said to be making full use of the land to the extreme.

Fang Xi came to the kitchen, took out some spiritual rice mixed with coarse grains, and cooked a pot of porridge for himself.

The spiritual rice is naturally ‘Jade Bamboo Rice’. Each grain looks like emerald jade and has a fresh fragrance. Even if it is mixed with ordinary refined rice and coarse grains, it is still delicious and tastes very sweet and tasty.

Especially after eating, in addition to the warmth in the stomach, there is also a faint spiritual energy rising.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Xi immediately went to the training room and practiced his skills in seclusion.

Half an hour later, Fang Xi opened his eyes and smiled bitterly: “This ‘Eternal Spring Technique’ is really difficult. After practicing hard for a year, I can only barely grasp the cultivation level of the original owner. I haven’t even reached the peak of the third level of Qi Refining, let alone sprinting to the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi Refining… It’s so difficult…”

He sighed, pricked up his ears to listen to the movements around him, then took out a talisman and pasted it on the wooden wall of the training room.

This is a first-class lower-grade “amulet”, which has a certain degree of defense, and most importantly, it can block sound and spiritual fluctuations!
As for the spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building period, although it cannot protect, if it is scanned by the spiritual consciousness, it will immediately explode and warn the cultivator.

After doing all this, Fang Xi’s expression returned to calm and he snapped his fingers.

Bang!
In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at another place.

Inside, the lights were bright and the air was warm as spring. A purple gold incense burner was burning with the finest calming spices.

The soft chair made of rosewood is comfortable and pleasant, and Fang Xi lies down like Ge You.

As he waved his fingers, an air conditioner made by a cultivator turned on, keeping the room at a suitable temperature and humidity.

After lying down enough, Fang Xi threw away his tattered cotton jacket and changed into a set of gorgeous clothes, which made the young man look even more handsome and unrestrained.

He opened the door and a ray of dazzling sunlight shone down, revealing a huge and luxurious mansion.

In the blink of an eye, it seemed like a different world.

This is indeed the case!

A smile appeared on Fang Xi’s lips.

When people are pushed into a corner, they can do anything, including traveling through time! ! !
