Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 108

[Chapter 107: Alchemy (Congratulations to the Silver Alliance!)]

“Plant trees in the Dantian to seek immortality…”

Inside an underground cave.

Fang Xi sat cross-legged under the demon tree, with an air root behind him connected to the tree crown.

With the daily supply of pure vital energy, his body became more and more energetic.

Even the progress of practicing the “art of longevity” is advancing by leaps and bounds.

At this time, the spiritual consciousness can see the faint green network in the limbs and bones, which is spreading from the Dantian Qi Sea to the tendons, bones, skin and flesh…

This is the process of constructing the ‘Aoki Spirit Body’!

“In a few years, the ‘Aoki Spirit Body’ should be fully developed, right?”

Fang Xi opened his eyes, and two green rays flashed in his pupils.

Once the ‘Green Wood Spirit Body’ is achieved, his aptitude as a low-grade wood spirit root will be comparable to those of geniuses with high-grade spirit roots.

Fang Xi’s ambitions don’t stop there!
He wants to at least cultivate into a ‘Yi Mu Dharma Body’!
There are only a few rumors about this kind of spiritual body in the world of immortal cultivation, but it is certain that as long as the cultivators who possess this spiritual body do not die midway, they will basically become Nascent Soul masters!
With the growth rate of the demon tree, it is not impossible to condense a ‘Yi Mu Dharma Body’ in decades!
After daily cultivation, Fang Xi inspected the spiritual field as usual.

“Whoa whoa!”

On the ridge of the field, a naked little kid was running happily. In front of him was a tiger stuffed animal, which was running on all four legs at a slow pace.

“Xiao Hu, where did this tiger mechanical beast come from?”

Fang Xi stopped and asked casually.

“My mother just came back from Lingkong Market and bought it for me.”

Xiaohu sniffed his nose and answered with a silly smile.

“Well, go play!”

Fang Xi touched Xiaohu’s head, feeling a little depressed: “I’ve been looking for years, but I haven’t seen any puppetry at all… but now I’m planting trees, and puppeteers’ works appear in Lingkong Market? God, are you kidding me?”

“Forget it. Life is not satisfactory six out of ten times. Just keep a normal mind, keep a normal mind…”

He warned himself secretly.

Isn’t it just the inheritance of puppetry? As long as you live long enough, you will always have it in the future.

“master!”

Arriving at Widow Wang’s wooden house, Widow Wang immediately came out to greet him with a big smile on her face: “The Lingkong Market is big and beautiful, and the spiritual energy is also very abundant… I also bought a bag of spiritual tea for you, and I was just about to send it to you!”

“Yes, thank you very much.”

Spiritual tea is not worth a spiritual stone, but at least it is an attitude.

If Fang Xi doesn’t accept it, Widow Wang will be worried.

Seeing him accept it with a smile, Widow Wang smiled even more: “I also went to see the island owner’s shop in Lingkong Market. It’s called ‘Fire Refining Pavilion’, and the head shopkeeper is Mu Wen!”

Fang Xi was not too surprised by this result.

After all, Feng Manlou didn’t want to compete with Mu Wen at all.

Mu Wen also became so ruthless that he even pledged several acres of his family’s spiritual fields and borrowed a large amount of spiritual stones to bribe people.

In addition, Feng Manlou voluntarily withdrew, so Ruan Xingling couldn’t say much and could only give the position to him.

“…I think the Longyu Zhong family has acknowledged this. After all, if our thirty-six islands really unite, the number of cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining will be at least several times that of the Zhong family… We have formed a joint law enforcement team. The public security near the islands is particularly good. I haven’t seen any robbery cultivators along the way…”

Widow Wang was somewhat envious: “I think the Patriarch of the Mu family made the right bet this time and will make a fortune…”

“This… is also a good thing!”

Fang Xi smiled.

No matter why the Zhong family stopped, it is always better not to fight.

He needs a peaceful and stable environment to plant trees here.

As for Mu Wen’s success? Then let him succeed. A temporary success is nothing.

A hundred years later, let’s see if this person still exists!
“Aunt Wang!”

At this time, another person came to Widow Wang’s house. It was Lu Guo!
When he saw Fang Xi, he shuddered out of habit, then saluted:

“master!”

“Um.”

Fang Xi nodded, and found that this boy had already drawn Qi into his body and became a Qi Refining Level 1 cultivator!
“As expected of a mid-level spiritual root, it’s only been a few months?”

‘How long did it take for the original body to advance to the first level of Qi Refining? One year? Or two years?’

“Forget it… Just keep calm, keep calm!”

He forced himself to suppress the twitching in his eyes and walked out without disturbing Widow Wang and Lu Guo’s conversation.

Not long after, Lu Guo was seen walking out of Widow Wang’s house with a small wooden sword in his hand.

After injecting a trace of magic power, the wooden sword actually floated in the air!

“Low-grade magic weapon?”

“No… it’s not a magic weapon, just a small toy, probably worth a few spirit crystals…”

Fang Xi recognized it at the first sight. This little gadget was just like Xiaohu’s mechanical beast. It had no killing power and was completely a toy for children.

Even so, Lu Guo wiped the wooden sword carefully and put it solemnly around his waist.

“It seems…it’s time to teach you the last few levels of Changchun Jue.”

When Fang Xi saw this scene, he suddenly became thoughtful.

The aptitude of middle-grade spiritual roots is indeed much better than that of low-grade spiritual roots.

In addition, since he has been practicing in a spiritual land since he was young, there is still a possibility that he will break through to the late stage of Qi Refining in the future.

I don’t know what Ruan Xingling is planning.

…

Summer goes and autumn comes.

In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the year again.

Fang Xi checked the five acres of spiritual fields, and then divided the profits with Widow Wang in a 6:4 ratio, allowing Widow Wang to have a good year.

In comparison, Lu Guo seemed deserted and even lived in a wooden shed.

On this day, amidst the dazzling array of flowers, Ruan Xingling’s magic weapon fell into the small cloud and rain formation.

“It is a great honor for our humble home to have you here, the island master!”

Fang Xi came to greet him and said with a smile: “I have already prepared ‘Green Bamboo Wine’, please give me a drink, Island Master.”

“Um!”

Ruan Xingling and Fang Xi came under the peach tree and opened a bottle of green bamboo wine.

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

I don’t know why, but Ruan Xingling likes this.

Fang Xi, however, has a wide range of tastes. He can drink Green Bamboo Wine, Red Blood Wine, and he recently brewed a batch of Peach Blossom Wine.

This wine has the aroma of peach blossoms and is very popular among some female monks.

But for some reason, Ruan Xingling still prefers Qingzhu wine.

“Lu Guo has already reached the first level of Qi Refining. I think he may be able to advance to the second level next year…”

Fang Xi poured a glass of wine for Ruan Xingling and said lightly.

“Middle-grade spiritual roots, indeed not bad, but unfortunately still a little worse than Dan’er.”

Ruan Xingling’s expression was indifferent, and she couldn’t tell whether she was happy or angry. Instead, she began to care about Fang Xi: “You are now 28 years old, and you have reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. If you can break through the late stage of Qi Refining in a few years, you will have a good chance of building a foundation in the future!”

“The island owner is joking…”

Fang Xi’s face was full of bitterness: “I have just entered the sixth level. It takes several years to accumulate and polish the mana. It will take five or six years to perfect the sixth level, not to mention the big bottleneck in the later stage… If I can break through the late stage of Qi Refining before the age of forty, I will be thankful.”

“The bottleneck from the middle to the late stage of Qi Refining is indeed very troublesome…”

Ruan Xingling thought of the Feng family and the Mo family. After the death of the patriarch who was in the late Qi Refining stage, there was chaos for a while.

It was she who went to help and support… and consumed a large amount of the family’s resources to buy two elixir pills from the market, and only then was she able to successfully train two clansmen in the late stage of Qi Refining and stabilize the situation.

For casual cultivators, they can’t even afford elixirs that increase their mana, let alone buy elixirs that can break through their levels.

“Except for insect pests, the spiritual rice here has a good harvest almost every year. If you save it for a few more years, you should have no problem buying a breakthrough elixir at the auction in the market…”

Ruan Xingling seemed to be sincerely planning for Fang Xi.

With the cultivation resources from these dozen acres of spiritual fields, Fang Xi still has a chance to reach the late stage of Qi Refining.

Even if the output is not enough, mortgaging a few acres of spiritual farmland, like Mu Wen killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, is definitely enough!
“Alas…”

When Fang Xi mentioned this, he sighed and said, “In fact, there is not much spiritual rice left in my granary.”

“Um?”

Ruan Xingling was a little surprised: “Could it be that you used all of it to make wine?”

“No, no!!”

Fang Xi smiled bitterly and brought Ruan Xingling to the newly opened alchemy room.

This was a room he specially opened up for practicing the art of alchemy. The room was filled with the aroma of medicine, and in the corner there were large amounts of spiritual wood and spiritual charcoal piled up.

In the middle of the room, there was a three-legged, two-eared purple copper alchemy furnace, which was a lower-grade magical instrument!

“You…are studying the art of alchemy?”

Ruan Xingling’s beautiful eyes lit up: “Did you gain anything?”

“If I refine the Bigu Pill now, I can barely break even… the rest will still be a huge loss!”

Fang Xi replied expressionlessly: “Alchemy can make three generations poor, and learning formations can ruin your life. I have seen this…”

“well……”

There are many cultivators who can refine the Bigu Pill, but it is impossible to earn spirit stones by doing so.

Ruan Xingling looked at the alchemy furnace and the elixir…she knew that the cost must be huge.

Fang Xi couldn’t help but disapprove of the fact that he wasted spiritual rice on spiritual medicines for training: “The art of alchemy is profound and extensive. After discovering that he has no talent, he should have stopped the loss immediately. How could he still do this?”

In fact, these materials and waste pills were all bought by Fang Xi using other spirit stones.

The bulk of his money always came from monster materials, not from farming.

Placing the alchemy room here is to create an excuse for consuming spiritual rice.

Now it seems that Ruan Xingling really believed it.

“Alas… I don’t have the talent, so I just want to refine pills and earn resources… Then I invested a lot, but I can’t bear to let go, so I can only continue to invest…”

Fang Xi looked like he had gone crazy while refining the elixir.

“You…Ah!”

Ruan Xingling shook her head repeatedly: “Fortunately, you haven’t delayed your cultivation. From now on, stop refining pills and practice instead to accumulate spiritual rice… If you work hard again in the future, you may be able to obtain the resources to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining before you are forty.”

“Well… I just want to cultivate to the late stage of Qi Refining peacefully. As for the forty-year limit? Success is also my joy, failure is also my fate!”

Fang Xi sighed and drank the Green Bamboo Wine in one gulp. “The Cultivation Families pursue the goal of reaching the late stage of Qi Refining before the age of 40, just to compete for a chance to build a foundation. I have already let go of my obsession with building a foundation, so it’s not bad to be able to grind through the bottleneck peacefully… Anyway, I plan to spend the rest of my life farming and raising fish on Peach Blossom Island…”

Ruan Xingling was speechless at Fang Xi’s indifference.
