Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 115

[Chapter 114 Three-Year Agreement (Congratulations to the Silver Alliance!)]

by the Mirror Moon Lake.

Hundred Birds Pavilion.

This is where the monks from Peach Blossom Island hold exchange meetings on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month.

It’s the fifteenth.

Fang Xi, wearing a green robe, with a wooden hairpin in his hair, and his sleeves fluttering, came to the stall in an elegant manner.

“Who is this person?”

Many of the independent cultivators and recruited immortal seedlings who came later looked at each other in bewilderment, as none of them recognized him!

This person is as graceful as an orchid and a jade tree, with extraordinary grace and elegance. If they had seen him before, they would definitely have an impression of him.

Some old Mu family members rubbed their eyes and recognized him: “This is Fellow Daoist Fang Xifang, one of the three families back then!”

“It turns out to be the old…man from Emerald Cliff!”

A young girl muttered to herself, as if she had thought of something, and covered her mouth at the crucial moment.

She could talk behind his back, but she didn’t have the guts to talk about a cultivator at the peak of the middle stage
of Qi Refining in person! In the Thirty-Six Islands, a cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining was enough to secure the position of island master, and a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining could at least become a middle level, or even an elder!
After all, they were only one step away from the late stage, although this step might not be taken in a lifetime.

Fang Xi ignored these people and set up his stall, on which were the latest batch of “Hemostatic Pills” he had refined, as well as some low-grade detoxification pills and a large number of Fasting Pills.

Because the price was low, monks soon came up to ask for the price.

During the conversation, Fang Xi also revealed that he was an alchemist and was taking on alchemy.

Unfortunately, few monks trusted his alchemy skills, resulting in little business.

But Fang Xi didn’t care. As long as he put the name on the table, anyone who wanted to ask for a favor in the future could just go to Emerald Cliff.

“I, Mu Zhong, greet you, uncle. Congratulations, uncle, on your mastery of the art of alchemy!”

At this time, another old monk came to Fang Xi and bowed.

His hair was grey, his hands and face were full of wrinkles, but his joints were very thick, and he looked like an old farmer who had worked hard all year round.

“Well, are you from the Mu family?”

The immortal cultivators’ ability to remember everything they see made Fang Xi recall that this man was the one who followed the old Taoist Xiu Mu in the past, but he was younger back then.

Mu Zhong smiled to himself: “Uncle, you still recognize me? What an honor… Alas, back then, our ancestor earnestly told us to learn from your steadiness. His voice and smile are still fresh in my mind, but I didn’t expect that ten years have passed…”

After a few more words, Fang Xi realized that this Mu Zhong was the same family that had been trying to separate from Mu Wen.

Now they have been allocated two mu of spiritual farmland, and their family of five works hard on the land and leads a comfortable life.

Although I can’t earn much spiritual stones, it’s safe and fulfilling!
Mu Zhong sighed, “This time, the team from the island that went to the market had an accident, and two people from the Mu family were among them. The second and third branches cried and cried, but the head of the family was still calculating his spiritual stone business!”

There was a lot of indignation in his words.

The reason Fang Xi came out this time, besides wanting to find out more about the ‘Silver-Armored Man’.

Hearing this, he sighed: “Mu Wen also has difficulties. Now he has to repay a large amount of spirit stones every year. The pressure is very great… Once the business of the shops in Lingkong Market gets worse, then…”

“Alas… I should have persuaded the head of the family back then. If something went wrong and the family foundation was lost, how could I have the face to see the ancestors a hundred years later…”

Mu Zhong wiped the corners of his eyes with his dirty sleeves and clenched his fists: “It’s all the fault of that damn ‘Silver Armor Man’!”

“Yes, it’s all that villain’s fault!”

Fang Xi touched his cheek with a look of solidarity: “Who is that person? What is his origin?”

“I don’t know. But after this incident, Lingkong Market issued a wanted order, and we learned that the man not only injured the Golden Tooth Old Monster and other cultivators, but also committed a heinous crime outside of the Treasure Ship Market, killing five late-stage Qi Refining cultivators! He was probably injured at the time, otherwise the ancestors of the Feng and Mo families might not have been able to escape alive…”

Mu Zhong gritted his teeth when he mentioned this person.

Although he looked down on Mu Wen, he felt the same way when he saw the Mu family’s investment encounter setbacks.

As a family cultivator, one shares the family’s prosperity and adversity, and this connection cannot be severed simply by splitting up the family.

“yes……”

Fang Xi murmured, he didn’t expect that the incident from that year had been investigated to this extent.

Fortunately, he used a fake identity when he first went to Baochuanfang Market.

“I did the first two, but the latest ones are not me… Someone must be using my name. What’s the purpose? Fishing?”

“Who cares? I’m not going out anyway.”

Fang Xi thought about it, and felt relieved, ready to deal with all kinds of changes with the unchanging attitude.

Anyway, in the worst case scenario, I would just give up everything and jump into the lake to cross.

Qingmu’s spiritual body has already been achieved, and he has already cultivated to the seventh level of Qi Refining, so it is not a big loss.

As long as you are still alive, you have the capital to start over!

“There are rumors in the outside world that the silver-armored man is at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and has a cultivated body. His combat power is tyrannical, and killing a man in the late Qi Refining stage is as easy as killing a chicken… Affected by this, the number of people in Lingkong Market has dropped, and business has become much bleak.”

A man in silver armor can only create chaos and make people panic.

If they fail to take it down in time, it will attract other cultivators to come and the greed in the hearts of the original cultivators, causing the security around Lingkong Market to become more chaotic, thus affecting business.

In the end, it was a vicious cycle!
This familiar taste made Fang Xi think back: “This feeling… maybe it was done by the Zhong family!”

He doesn’t need any evidence to investigate a case. He just needs to see who benefits in the end and who is the most suspicious.

The business of Lingkong Market was affected. Even if the Zhong family was not the first beneficiary, they were definitely the second and third beneficiaries!
As for why the Zhong family created the “Silver Armor Man”?
“It’s just to find a scapegoat! After all, we can’t openly start a war. The Silver Armor Man committed a serious crime ten years ago and killed people near the Treasure Ship Market. He is definitely not a member of the Zhong family and can be cleared of any connection!”

Fang Xi was very clear about this because he was sure that the man in silver armor was fake.

But other cultivators don’t know!
In their opinion, the silver-armored man is cruel and similar to a demon cultivator. It is normal for him to recover from his injuries and continue to commit crimes after ten years! They
don’t immediately associate it with the Zhong family!
“You are so good, Zhong family, you borrowed my name and threw dirty water on me… I will make arrangements in the little notebook, and I will definitely repay you in the future!”

Fang Xi gritted his teeth secretly.

On the surface, he still looked normal and was doing business.

When the time was almost right, we prepared to get up and return to Emerald Cliff.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd, and they parted to the sides, bowed to a young girl, and smiled flatteringly, calling her “Young Island Master”!
“Hmm?”

Fang Xi didn’t look up, but with a sweep of his spiritual sense, he immediately saw a young girl wearing a red skirt, with a slim figure and a pair of phoenix eyes.

On the surface, this woman’s cultivation level only appeared to be at the fourth level of Qi Refining, but under her spiritual sense, everything she had hidden was clearly visible. It turned out that she had reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, and had practiced a technique to restrain her breath.

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

This was probably what Ruan Xingling requested. After all, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, which is not a good thing.

“This girl must be Ruan Dan, right? She is indeed a genius with top-grade spiritual roots. Lu Guo is still at the early stage of Qi Refining!”

Fang Xi thought to himself.

However, not only was Lu Guo’s spiritual root aptitude inferior to the other party, the training and medicinal resources he received were also far different. It was understandable that he was left so far behind.

Ruan Dan’s expression was as cold as ice. She came to Fang Xi’s booth and asked, “Are you Fang Xi?”

“I am Fang Xi, nice to meet the Young Island Master!”

Fang Xi stood up and bowed, his demeanor and manner were quite extraordinary.

But when Ruan Dan saw this, the depths of his eyes became even colder.

When she was a child, she had heard the rumor that this man, with his sword, was invincible except for the island master.

Later he became the island master’s disciple, but he turned into a coward, hiding in Emerald Cliff for ten years!

Last year, the island owner challenged the old monster Jin Ya to a duel. Such a serious matter, the other party dared not refuse!
Ruan Dan, who had long regarded himself as the young island owner, naturally could not bear to see such a “vassal” on his own territory!
Moreover, the vague relationship between the master and the other party made the girl even more indignant.

As a result of the accumulation over the years, it was natural that he was not in a good mood when he saw Fang Xi.

Fang Xi acted as if he hadn’t noticed: “Young Island Master, do you need any medicinal pills? I’ll give you a bottle of any that you like at my stall!”

“No need!” Ruan Dan responded coldly.

“Then… Young Island Master wants to make pills? To be honest, my alchemy skills have already reached the first-grade lower level. The success rate…”

Fang Xi was talking nonstop when he was suddenly interrupted by Ruan Dan: “I’ve heard for a long time that Fellow Daoist Fang is very good at fighting… I am Ruan Dan, but I want to go to Emerald Cliff in three years to learn from him in person!”

The girl has strong self-confidence in her heart.

Her current true cultivation level has already surpassed the fifth level of Qi Refining. Three years later, she will definitely be at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and may even reach the peak of the sixth level.

She could defeat a casual cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining, even if he was also cultivating his body!
“It’s actually an invitation to fight?”

“The island master’s disciple personally challenged Fang Xi to a duel. Could it be that he is quite dissatisfied with Feicui Cliff?”

The casual practitioners and disciples who were watching the show all had expressions of enjoying the show on their faces.

They have long been secretly dissatisfied and jealous of the special status of Emerald Cliff and Twin Peaks…

Seeing Fang Xi in trouble at this time, it is good enough not to add insult to injury.

There were a few older ones who were still worried: “Is the young island master taking too much risk? After all, Fang Xi is at the peak of the middle stage of Qi Refining, he is experienced and has the skills of body refining…”

“Pah, Young Master is such a great figure. How can a mere casual cultivator compare to him?”

“Three years later, the young master will definitely win!”

…

The group of bystanders and cultivators almost started arguing over this.

“Well… why don’t we just forget about it? I just want to take good care of my health now, I’m not good at fighting!”

Fang Xi scratched his head. He didn’t expect that he would encounter such a bad thing after going out.

“Even if you want to hide in Emerald Cliff, I will come to visit you in person in the future!”

Ruan Dan had already made this plan, and it was just a coincidence that they met today and made an appointment.

“Alas… Young Island Master, since you are forcing me so hard, then I… admit defeat! I admit defeat!”

Fang Xi, however, didn’t have the slightest bit of shame and just admitted defeat.

Ruan Dan was stunned when he heard this…

She had thought of many scenarios, but she had never expected that the other party would directly admit defeat to a mere “Qi Refining Level 4”!
Does this person still have any shame?
