Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 103

[Chapter 102: Introduction to the Art of Immortality (Congratulations to the Silver Alliance!)]

Winter is gone, spring is here, everything is growing!
Inside the underground cave.

Each luminous pearl provides a bright source of light.

On the central flat ground, Fang Xi looked solemn as he took out the spirit seed that had been refined many times.

This spirit seed came from the demon tree. After being refined many times by him using the method of “longevity technique”, it has almost become one with him.

One can even vaguely sense the joy of the seeds about to hatch.

“After so much preparation…”

“After a long wait…”

“Let’s get started!”

Fang Xi sighed, buried the seeds in the ground, then made hand gestures with both hands, and poured out his magic power: “Changsheng has issued an order, the spiritual plants sprout, quickly!!”

The gray seed on the ground suddenly became like a greedy demon, madly devouring Fang Xi’s magic power, causing cold sweat to seep out of his forehead.

Just when Fang Xi thought that this spirit seed wanted to suck all his magic power away, a feeling of satisfaction suddenly emanated from within the spirit seed.

Snap!

Its surface was torn open, and tender green new shoots sprouted out, pushing open the soil layer and turning into a small sapling less than two inches tall!

A closer look at this sapling shows that it is quite similar to the demon tree in Black Stone City, like a black banyan tree.

“My life-long spiritual plant has been completed!”

Fang Xi could feel that this spiritual plant was one with himself. As it grew, traces of plant essence were drawn from the earth and entered his body, thus forming some kind of mysterious connection!

This connection will become weaker and weaker as the distance between him and his natal spirit plant grows larger, and will eventually break!

This is also the reason why the monks who practice the art of longevity cannot be too far away from their own spiritual plants!
“This feeling… is really wonderful!”

At this moment, Fang Xi could feel as if he had turned into a plant, and a lot of insights suddenly emerged in his mind.

Just like an ancient tree, it experiences the changes of the four seasons, day after day, year after year…

“disease!”

He followed some kind of mysterious intuition, making hand gestures and chanting incantations.

Bang!
Suddenly, several sharp wooden spikes appeared on the ground not far away!

This wooden thorn has a luster like fine iron, and even has barbs on the edges, making it extremely lethal.

This is the ‘Earth Spike Technique’!
After reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining, Fang Xi had been studying this spell, and now he suddenly understood it thoroughly.

Not only has he mastered it, but when he uses it, its power seems to have increased!

“I even feel… that I have gained a lot of new insights into the entanglement technique.”

Fang Xi’s eyes lit up slightly: “I didn’t expect that the ‘longevity technique’ would have such benefits? No… maybe the key lies in this demon tree!”

The demons from the Daliang world came to the world of immortal cultivation and grew by absorbing spiritual energy.

Fang Xi himself didn’t know what this demon tree would eventually grow into.
“But looking at its growth rate… I shouldn’t have to wait until I die of old age, right?”

He gently stroked the sapling with his fingers, his face full of joy and satisfaction, and he exuded a temperament that was indifferent and yet prosperous.

“What should I call you from now on? The Evergreen Tree? The Everlasting Tree?”

Just as Fang Xi was thinking, his expression changed!
Through the connection with his natal spirit plant, he could feel that the spirit plant was longing for something in him!

No, it wasn’t something on his body, but in the storage bag!
Fang Xi thought about it and took out two gray seeds from the storage bag.

After seeing the seeds, the natal spirit plant suddenly became excited and exuded an extremely eager emotion.

“Either don’t do it, or do it to the best of your ability.”

Fang Xi murmured and pushed the seeds to the side of the demon tree.

The next moment.

Rustle! Rustle!
The ground near the sapling cracked, and tentacle-like roots emerged and grabbed the two seeds.

Then… it penetrated into the seed, as if absorbing nutrients from it
!

The seeds of this demon tree seemed to have a cruel nature!
Stimulated by this, the size of the spirit plant began to grow rapidly.

Three inches, four inches, one foot…

In the blink of an eye, it grew more than three feet tall, and turned into a spiritual tree with black skin and lush branches and leaves!
Aerial roots hung down from the green crown, exploring and spreading around… revealing its desire for flesh and blood!

“go back!”

Fang Xi’s eyes suddenly turned cold and he issued an order.

All the aerial roots and vines curled up, and the demon tree trembled, emitting a feeling of grievance, as if shouting: “I’m hungry…”

“Devouring my brothers, turning them into nourishment… and this thirst for flesh and blood!”

“You should just keep calling me the demon tree!”

“From now on, you are not allowed to attack other living things without my order!”

Fang Xi issued an order.

With the “Eternal Life Technique” as a bond, he and the demon tree have actually become one, and this spiritual plant is an extension of him.

Therefore, conveying orders is just a matter of thought in one’s mind.

At the same time, he was more certain of one thing.

The behavior of this demon tree is indeed more like that of an evil creature… It must not be discovered by anyone, otherwise it might even be labeled as a demon cultivator!

“I hope you can be more powerful and grow up quickly so that I can at least cultivate into a Qingmu spirit body…”

“Come, eat meat!”

Fang Xi carried two large buckets of Tai Sui meat and came to the demon tree.

whoosh!

Aerial roots hung down and penetrated into the flesh of the Tai Sui, as if sucking something.

After a moment, the pieces of Tai Sui meat turned into ashes and disappeared.

And the demon tree seems to have grown taller?

“Sure enough… the growth rate of this demon tree is indeed amazing!”

Fang Xi’s eyes lit up.

His guess was correct!
And, looking at the two seeds that had lost all vitality, Fang Xi felt a little regretful.

If this sapling can devour the body of the demon tree in Blackrock City, to what extent will it grow in an instant?

I’m afraid that my own ‘Yi Mu Dharma Body’ can be accomplished in an instant?

However, with my current strength, touching the demon tree… is almost like delivering food to its door!

…

A few days later.

Inside the wine cellar.

According to the ratio in “The Dionysus”, Fang Xi buried and sealed jars of spiritual wine made with red blood spiritual rice as the main ingredient in the cellar.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

Among them, there are several jars with recipes that he figured out on his own in Qingzhufang City.

Although it seems quite simple from today’s perspective, it can still be considered a commemoration of some kind.

After doing all this, Fang Xi went to feed the fish, then came to the spiritual field and began to sow the seeds of red blood spiritual rice.

When he measured the Emerald Cliff, he actually had the idea of laying the foundation for the future reclamation of spiritual fields.

At this time, I have already roughly decided on two places and am preparing to reclaim a few acres of spiritual fields.

As Fang Xi moved, he could feel the connection with the demon tree and its roots extending into the earth.

This tree is like his other incarnation, and it absorbs the essence of the earth and plants every moment and infuses it into his body, forming a kind of “circulation” relationship between the two.

Fang Xi walked out of the small cloud and rain formation and measured the earth with his footsteps.

Three miles, four miles…

After walking five or six miles, this “circulation of the heavens” became vague, and Fang Xi knew that if he continued walking, his “longevity technique” would inevitably fail!
“This is the biggest flaw of the longevity technique. You can’t leave your life spirit plant too far… I can’t even cross over?”

“However, I remember that the Ancestral Demon Tree in Black Stone City should have the ability to move… but it would be very troublesome.”

“This is a good idea. At least we won’t be trapped and die in one place.”

Fang Xi turned around and walked back, thoughtful.

“Fang Daoyou!”

At this time, a figure came over, it turned out to be the handsome Feng Manlou!
“Fellow Daoist Feng!”

Fang Xi cupped his hands: “Is there something wrong?”

Feng Manlou’s face was covered with frost and a trace of sadness on it: “I just got the news that the ancestor of the Mo family… passed away!”

“What?”

Fang Xi was shocked, but secretly sighed in his heart that he had outlasted an enemy.

The ancestor of the Mo family originally had a few more years to live, but after being severely injured by him, his vitality was greatly damaged, and naturally his life span would be shortened.

Although the maximum lifespan of a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage is two sixty years, or about 120 years old, very few can live to this point, because cultivators will always fight and get injured, which will greatly damage their vitality and be detrimental to their lifespan.

Only cultivators who practice wood-attributed techniques and are good at health preservation can probably live a little longer than other cultivators.

“I still have to go to a funeral, Fellow Daoist Fang?”

Feng Manlou tried to ask.

“I’m not familiar with the Mo family, so forget it…” Fang Xi refused indifferently.

“well……”

Feng Manlou did not force him, but just sighed and left.

He thought of Mo Qingyu, the proud young man who relied on his family background to be arrogant and domineering and had many enemies.

After the death of the Mo family’s ancestor, I’m afraid their status will plummet.

By then, who knows how many people will take advantage of the situation!

…

Underground cave.

Fang Xi looked at the ten-foot-tall demon tree and sighed: “Is there no one in this world who can live forever?”

The ancestor of the Mo family died today, and the ancestor of the Feng family must not be far away. This made Fang Xi feel quite emotional.

As usual, he cut off a large piece of Tai Sui meat and let the demon tree feast on it.

After feeding the small tree, Fang Xi sat cross-legged under the tree, practicing the “Longevity Technique” to absorb the essence of plants and trees and temper his acquired spiritual body.

This is a long and arduous process. Even the lowest level of ‘Green Wood Spirit Body’ will take a hundred years to achieve!

Moreover, the requirements for spiritual plants and spiritual veins are quite high.

Only Fang Xi found another way and found the strange spiritual root of the Demon Tree, which allowed him to bypass the level.

At this time, along with his practice, an aerial root even hung down from the crown of the demon tree and pierced into Fang Xi’s back.

“Hmm? This is…”

Fang Xi opened his eyes and saw this scene. He almost thought that he had traveled through time again and turned into an elderly patient with conjunctivitis named after a round fan…

But the next moment, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

Blood!
An extremely pure blood, along with the roots of the demon tree, poured into his body.

Fang Xi looked at his hands, and suddenly felt that his whole body was filled with some kind of vitality, and he even seemed to have returned to the peak period of seventeen or eighteen years old!

“The demon tree absorbs the essence of flesh and blood, and then feeds back?”

“There doesn’t seem to be any description of this in the ‘Longevity Technique’? So it’s a special case of the demon tree itself?”
