Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 121

[Chapter 120 Return (asking for monthly ticket)]

On Wandao Lake.

A green shadow swam swiftly, driving thousands of fish into an underwater cave.

After these schools of fish entered, roots emerged from the entrance of the cave, like a big net, completely blocking the cave and catching all the fish inside…

Crash!

The big black carp emerged from the water and was stepped on by Fang Xi: “Well done…”

As the king of fish that has awakened a trace of dragon blood, the big black carp naturally has the ability to control schools of fish. It is extremely easy for it to drive a large number of fish to feed the demon tree.

The big black carp secretly spit out a few bubbles, feeling that it would finally not have to die.

As for the fish rape? There is nothing we can do about it…

Fish life is hard!
“Let’s go and have a look around!”

Fang Xi rode the big bluefish and tested its speed, and found that it was quite good in the water and could barely be used as a means of transportation.

The fish even awakened some water-walking techniques and was able to slightly leave the water and flap its wings a few times.

“If it reaches the second level, it should be possible to control the water mist and fly away from the water… maybe it can be truly cultivated into a mount.”

Fang Xi stepped on the big black carp and said, “Did you hear me? Drive the fish to work for me from now on, or I will still stew you…”

The big bluefish nodded hurriedly, almost shedding tears.

“I was able to train a low-grade spirit fish into a first-grade upper-grade one. My beast taming skills should also have reached the first-grade upper-grade level…”

The reason why I adopted the big blue carp was just to try out various training methods and hone my skills in taming animals.

Fang Xi naturally knew that he had consumed a large amount of snake blood to barely cultivate a small green dragon, which was a very low cost-effective solution.

At least the Zhong family definitely didn’t use this method, otherwise it would be a huge loss…

Moreover, the big black carp can upgrade its level relatively quickly, entirely relying on the blood essence of the snake dragon.

Now that his essence and blood are exhausted, and the snake dragon is only of the upper grade of the first rank, it will not be of much help to the big bluefish in its future improvement.

If this fish wants to break through to the second level, it will need a longer time and more opportunities.

…

After releasing the big black carp into Wandao Lake and instructing them not to stray too far from Emerald Cliff, Fang Xi didn’t bother with it anymore.

Anyway, this fish has been branded with his spiritual consciousness and has signed a master-servant contract. He can control its life and death with just a thought.

At least before this fish was promoted to the second level, it had no power to resist at all.

He came to the spiritual field to check the growth of this year’s spiritual rice.

“master!”

Hai Dagui grew up to be a simple-looking, dark-skinned young man. He smiled and said, “I think this year will be another bumper year!”

“Well, you will be rewarded when the time comes.”

Fang Xi nodded and greeted the young man Wang Xiaohu.

Widow Wang is getting older, so the work in the fields is mainly done by Wang Xiaohu.

But today, both of them seemed to be hesitant to talk.

“What happened?”

Fang Xi picked up a rice ear and observed it, then asked casually.

“Master, it’s like this. Lu Guo recently returned to Peach Blossom Island…” Hai Dagui and Wang Xiaohu exchanged a glance, and Wang Xiaohu stood up: “Lu Ge joined the joint law enforcement team five years ago and fought in the outside world for several years. As a result, he was seriously injured in the most recent operation. It is said that he has been using secret techniques that consume his vitality to save his life, which has damaged his foundation. He had no choice but to withdraw from the law enforcement team and return to Peach Blossom Island to recuperate…”

“oh!”

Fang Xi’s expression was indifferent, with a hint of emotion.

Ordinary people have no chance if they don’t risk their lives. But even if they risk their lives, they are more likely to lose like Mu Wen and Lu Guo!
The world of immortal cultivation is even more cruel. If you lose, you will not only lose your capital, but you may even lose your life!

Lu Guo was lucky to survive.

Wang Xiaohu and Hai Dagui looked at each other and said, “Brother Lu still wants to come back and continue to work for the master.”

Although Lu Guo had saved up some spirit stones in the past few years, he had spent most of them on treating his injuries. He was now penniless and could not even afford to rent a cave. He had no choice but to ask his two friends for help.

“oh?”

Fang Xi did not comment: “Bring him back and let me see him…”

…

Three days later.

Lu Guo walked into the house and looked at the familiar scene, especially the young and handsome Fang Xi. He felt as if everything happened just yesterday. He didn’t know what he felt in his heart. He bowed respectfully: “Master!”

“Well, I’ve reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, not bad!”

Fang Xi was holding a fishing rod in his hand, fishing for the colorful koi in the water by the pond.

With a sweep of his spiritual sense, everything that passed by was in his sight.

First of all, let’s look at his appearance. Although Lu Guo looks like a young man now, he has some white hair on his temples, making him look a bit old. This is a sign that his vitality has been damaged, and even his lifespan has been greatly shortened.

In addition, although this person is at the sixth level of Qi Refining, his magic power is weak, probably because he took some elixirs and was injured and has not recovered.

Originally, Lu Guo’s magic power improved by two levels in five years, so his gamble could not be considered a loss.

If the opportunity is sufficient, you can get rewards by killing powerful enemies, or perhaps you can get the gift from Lingkong Market, and have the hope of breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining!

However, the mission of the law enforcement team was too dangerous. Even though he had survived several disasters, it was impossible for him to be lucky every time.

This time, he encountered a strong enemy and had to use all his secret skills, which eventually damaged his foundation.

“Lu Guo… With your skills, it’s a waste of your talents to farm here…”

Fang Xi shook his head, unwilling to keep this person.

There is a big difference between a cultivator who has seen blood and someone like Wang Xiaohu.

With human lives on your hands and your heart turned wild, these are uncontrollable factors.

Fang Xi just wanted to farm peacefully. The growth of the demon tree had accelerated several times recently. He felt that he would be able to cultivate into a ‘Yi Mu Dharma Body’ within a few decades, so he couldn’t let his efforts go to waste.

“Master, I am now exhausted and cannot easily fight or hunt monsters…”

Lu Guo smiled bitterly: “Master, you are also in need of a capable person. Although I am not very talented, I have made many friends over the years and am well-informed about news outside Peach Blossom Island. I can gather information for you and even run errands outside the island occasionally…”

After all, he had been Fang Xi’s subordinate and knew what the other party needed.

“It sounds good, but how can I trust your intelligence gathering ability?” Fang Xi threw away the fishing rod and asked with a laugh.

“This man… is still the same as before, patient and shrewd.”

Lu Guo suddenly felt empty inside, as if he had been completely seen through by the other party. He quickly suppressed this discomfort and answered, “Master, do you know that the young island master has been assassinated?”

“Hmm? When? Who is the murderer?”

Fang Xi really didn’t know about this. After all, Hai Dagui and Wang Xiaohu were both at the bottom of Peach Blossom Island and couldn’t hear any secret news.

“This happened two years ago. I just happened to know a little about it…” Lu Guo’s expression was calm: “The murderer is unknown, but he was in the late stage of Qi Refining. He seriously injured the young island master at that time. If it weren’t for the exquisite magic weapon and the life-saving talisman given by the island master, he might have died…”

“Who has a grudge against Ruan Dan?”

Fang Xi was a little confused.

“Even if there is no grudge, they can still be enemies. The young island master is extremely talented. In a battle five years ago, he showed his sixth level of Qi Refining. If he hadn’t been injured, he would have probably broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining by now!”

Lu Guo analyzed: “The late stage of Qi Refining before the age of 30 is the standard for elite disciples of large sects. It is a solid foundation-building seed, and there is even a glimmer of hope for Dan formation in the future. Too many people don’t want to see this scene…”

“A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind…”

Fang Xi sighed and thought of Ruan Xingling. This woman’s foundation-building process must not be too smooth.

And myself…

Well, now that I’m forty-three years old, it wouldn’t be a big problem if I announced to the public that I had broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

Those who break through to the late stage of Qi Refining before the age of forty are the “elite seeds” pursued by some small families and small sects, because it is still possible to complete Qi Refining before the age of sixty, retaining a glimmer of hope for building a foundation.

If you try to make a breakthrough after the age of 40, fewer people will pay attention to you and the effort will be much less.

‘After being stuck in a bottleneck for so many years, it’s time to break through.’

Fang Xi, who had actually reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, thought to himself.

He looked at Lu Guo again.

This person’s analysis was very logical and he was both brave and resourceful. If he hadn’t been seriously injured, he might have achieved something in the future.

“What do you think of the Silver-Armored Demon?” Fang Xi asked another question.

“Although the Silver-Armored Demon is powerful, he is only a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage after all. He has been able to escape from the Foundation Establishment cultivators several times. He must have the strong support of the Foundation Establishment forces behind him. It is very likely that he is from the Longyu Zhong family!”

Lu Guo answered in a deep voice.

Even if people couldn’t see it a few years ago, some smart people have figured it out by now.

Even the Longyu Zhong family and the foundation-building ancestors of the Thirty-Six Islands Alliance might have fought each other in secret.

The peaceful confrontation between the two forces in Wandao Lake is about to be broken, and a real monk war will follow!
“The lake is about to rain!”

Fang Xi looked towards the direction of Wandao Lake and muttered to himself.

At
the end where the lake meets the sky, dark clouds gather, lightning flashes, and suddenly heavy rain begins to fall.

The raindrops fell on the small cloud rain array, but were blocked by the ban, and slid down from the edge in strands…

He turned to look at Lu Guo: “Forget it, you can stay.”

“Thank you, sir!” Lu Guo thanked him happily.

…

Lu Guo returned to Peach Blossom Island and built another thatched cottage in a low-key manner on the Emerald Cliff.

Every day, he would farm with Wang Xiaohu, Hai Dagui, Wang Guafu and others, and occasionally go out to run errands for Fang Xi and gather intelligence…

Messages can be transmitted between cultivators through sound transmission notes at short distances, and spirit pigeons for longer distances, or more advanced methods such as flying swords, projection talismans, water mirror techniques, etc.

Therefore, if you just want to get information, there is no need to leave Peach Blossom Island.

Fang Xi had a lot of information in his hands, and the only feeling he had was that the immortal cultivation world in Wandao Lake was no longer peaceful.

Robbery cultivators were rampant, and many famous independent cultivators were killed!
Even the families and sects that occupied an island were razed to the ground…

“When two major forces fight, they must first pacify the surroundings and eliminate third parties and neutral forces…”

“When Wandao Lake went to war with the Thirty-Six Island Alliance, they did the same thing. They first killed the independent cultivators, and then pushed the blame onto the robbery cultivators… Now, I am the one who bears the most blame!”

Fang Xi was completely speechless when he saw the ‘Silver-Armored Demon’ who could easily kill entire families according to the intelligence.

Affected by this, Peach Blossom Island was also in a state of panic. The prices of magic tools and talismans began to rise, and various exchange meetings were held frequently. All the monks were waiting for the verdict in trepidation…

One year later.

News has come that the Mo family on Heisha Island was wiped out!
