Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 128

[Chapter 127 50th Birthday (Congratulations to Baiyin!)]

Six years later.

Emerald Cliffs.

“Uncle!”

Wei Yixi walked into the small cloud and rain formation, looking at Fang Xi who was still a young man, a blush appeared on her face for some reason.

“Well, how is your training in beast control going?”

Fang Xi stood up from his cross-legged position, with an intention of giving instructions.

Ever since Hua Chanjuan’s death, Wei Yixi has no one to supervise her and can enter and leave the Twin West Peak freely.

But she prefers quietness, so at most she would run to Emerald Cliff.

Today, Wei Yixi was wearing a lotus-colored embroidered skirt and a jade hoop on her smooth forehead. She looked quite well-dressed.

Hearing Fang Xi asking about the beast taming technique, he couldn’t help but slap the spirit beast bag on his waist with a bit of disappointment.

This spirit beast bag was made to look like a sachet. After gently tapping it, a large number of jade bees flew out and surrounded one of the queen bees.

“Uncle… Look, I have already cultivated the queen bee to the first-level intermediate grade. Not only that, her cultivation level also broke through last night, and she is now at the sixth level of Qi Refining…”

Wei Yixi showed off with some excitement.

Lu Guo, who had just returned from working in the fields nearby, felt a little sad when he saw this scene.

He is only a few years older than Wei Yixi, and both of them have middle-grade spiritual roots.

And now, this little girl has caught up with his own level of cultivation.

However, due to the damage to his foundation, he faced a major bottleneck in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining and had not made any breakthroughs for several years.

“Not bad, not bad…”

Fang Xi whistled, and a cloud of emerald green insects flew over, revealing a first-grade blue-and-white scarab beetle king!
When the scarab beetle king saw the white jade queen bee, it immediately responded tit-for-tat. The cloud of insects transformed from a large number of blue-and-white scarab beetles formed a pattern of a ghost face, with a faint sense of intimidation.

“Uncle…You are able to control the insect swarm so meticulously. Could it be that you have completely contracted every demon insect?”

Wei Yixi’s eyes lit up.

There is also relevant introduction in the beast taming technique she learned.

“No, this is just a small application of spiritual consciousness. I will teach you today…”

Fang Xi smiled and gave Wei Yixi some pointers on the art of taming beasts, and then the two of them returned to the courtyard, under the peach tree.

Crash!

In the pond, a big black carp spit out a bubble, and a fat jade carp was trapped inside it.

“It’s rare that you come here today, so I’ll make a dish of pickled fish.”

Fang Xi pulled out a small knife as sharp as ice jade, cut the jade carp into thin slices, and paired it with sauerkraut soup, which was extremely delicious.

After eating the fish, there are fresh peaches to enjoy.

“Hmm… uncle’s cooking is delicious…”

Wei Yixi admired the wine while reaching out to stealthily take the jade pot on the table. She stopped angrily only after Fang Xi pulled her chopsticks on her. “Uncle… I still want to drink the wine you brewed! Yixi isn’t a child anymore.”

“hehe……”

Upon hearing this, Fang Xi just tasted the ten-year-old peach blossom wine and did not pour a glass for Wei Yixi.

This woman is a drunkard. Once she gets drunk, the treasures in her wine cellar will be in jeopardy…

Moreover, he is not a good drinker and tends to get drunk and act crazy…

As the two were laughing and joking, the widow Wang, who looked like an old woman, walked in: “Master, Miss…”

“Aunt Wang!”

Wei Yixi nodded politely.

“Just tell me what you want to say…”

Fang Xi held the wine glass, feeling that the seven years of peace and stability since the Silver-Armored Demon, this peaceful life was about to be disrupted again.

“The alliance has once again issued a call for conscription, asking the Thirty-Six Islands to provide personnel and supplies, and to recruit a large number of independent cultivators…”

Widow Wang said, “Xiao Hu came back and said that the Mo family from Black Sand Island has come to the island master to complain…”

Seven years ago, Ruan Xingling personally brought the body of the head of the Kou family to the Thirty-Six Islands Alliance to appeal.

The final result was just to deal with a few monks from the law enforcement team, and then “reward” a sum of spiritual stones and materials for the bounty of “Silver Armor Demon”.

On the contrary, in recent years, the conflict between the Thirty-Six Islands Alliance and the Zhong family has almost become public, and it seems that a war is about to break out at any time.

As for the Mo family of Black Sand Island?
It was naturally the main family rebuilt by Mo Qinghe of Peach Blossom Island, and he also called on the branches in various places to return, and rebuilt the Mo family, but its strength weakened and gradually became a vassal of Peach Blossom Island.

Together with the Feng family, with whom the island was already close, Peach Blossom Island is now considered a small island within the Thirty-Six Islands Alliance.

However… the large number of affairs may have distracted Ruan Xingling’s mind, resulting in her cultivation being unable to make a breakthrough.

This is probably in the interests of all parties, so Taohua Island has been very peaceful during this period.

But now, it is very different!

“We are at least living on Peach Blossom Island. We don’t have to leave, but we can provide some supplies…”

Fang Xi thought about it, and said to Wei Yixi: “You don’t have to go out, I can provide some personal support to the island owner…”

“Uncle is still the best…” Wei Yixi smiled sweetly: “But uncle is about to celebrate his 50th birthday, what gift do you want? I can prepare it…”

Immortal cultivators don’t care too much about celebrating their birthdays, but the fiftyth birthday is still quite meaningful.

Especially now that Fang Xi is the second best person on the island and a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, the cultivators who were originally jealous and looked down on him are now vying to curry favor with him. Maybe they can even earn a lot of spirit stones in the name of celebrating his birthday!

“Before I knew it, I’m already fifty years old…”

Fang Xi touched his smooth and elastic face, which even Wei Yixi would envy, and suddenly smiled: “It’s not a special day, there’s no need to invite many guests. I’ll open a few jars of 20-year-old ‘Peach Blossom Wine’ and invite a few close friends to have a drink together…”

…

A few months later.

Inside an underground cave.

Fang Xi opened his eyes, and two inch-long green rays of light flickered.

“I have been planting trees for twenty-seven years, and my body is fifty years old… I have finally completed my Qi training!”

The tenth level of Qi Refining is a special realm. After breaking through this realm, it is the great perfection of Qi Refining! There is a possibility of impacting the foundation!
Fang Xi even felt that his “Eternal Spring Jue” power could no longer be improved at this time, and reached a certain limit of the Qi Refining period. If he wanted to break through again, he had to use all his strength to operate the skills and impact the bottleneck of the foundation!

With his body’s qi and blood completely leak-free and his spiritual consciousness projecting out to a height of ten feet, even without taking spiritual objects and pills for foundation building, he would have a 30 to 40 percent chance of success!

This is a probability that many casual cultivators cannot even hope to achieve.

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

Unfortunately, the consequences of failing to build the foundation would be either death or injury, so Fang Xi gave up this impulse.

“Foundation Building Pill! Once Yi Mu’s Dharmakaya is completed, I will put the Foundation Building Pill on the agenda!”

Fang Xi now looked inward and could see that the silver runes of Yi Mu’s Dharma body were almost complete. It would probably take another ten years to complete it!
“It’s a great day today, we should celebrate!”

He came out of the training room with a smile on his face.

Not long after, Widow Wang, Wang Xiaohu, Hai Dagui, Lu Guo and others came to pay their respects: “Congratulations on your fiftieth birthday, Master. I hope you will have a bright future and a long life on the immortal path!”

“Haha, look at the reward!”

Fang Xi smiled and gave everyone a red envelope of spirit stones.

“Hehe, Yixi is here to congratulate you on your fiftieth birthday!”

At this time, Wei Yixi also arrived, holding a big red gift box with a smile on her face.

Fang Xi took it and opened it, and saw a green robe inside. The surface was shining and colorful, and it was embroidered with green bamboo patterns. After it was unfolded, a powerful spiritual light emerged.

Wei Yixi smiled and said, “Uncle, this is a top-grade robe that I picked especially for you – the ‘Green Bamboo Robe’. It has the ‘Dust Repelling’, ‘Protection’, and ‘Spirit Gathering’ arrays set on it. It can even protect itself when in danger!”

“A top-grade robe costs about 200 spirit stones in the market. Yixi, you are really thoughtful.”

Fang Xi felt quite emotional, but he still accepted the robe.

Now, with his instruction in the art of taming beasts, Wei Yixi’s skills in raising jade bees have greatly improved. She also owns her own private spiritual land and does not need to buy elixirs or rent caves… As time goes by, she has become a wealthy woman.

“Uncle, change it quickly!” Wei Yixi said with a smile.

“Um!”

Seeing that Widow Wang and others were also trying to persuade him, Fang Xi went into the inner room, changed into a green bamboo robe and came out again.

Everyone saw a handsome young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and he was elegant and refined, which complemented the green bamboo robe he was wearing. They couldn’t help but cheer.

“Master, this dress really suits you, and Miss also chose it well.”

Widow Wang said with a smile.

“Yes… Yixi is very clever and skillful. Whoever marries you in the future will be blessed.”

Fang Xi laughed loudly: “Today is a great day, so I will make an exception and let you drink an extra cup of twenty-year-old peach wine…”

“Are you serious?” Wei Yixi’s eyes lit up. She was about to say something when she heard a female voice coming from outside: “Ruan Dan from Jingyue Lake, on behalf of our master, I would like to congratulate Uncle Fang on his longevity and send him a special gift!”

“It’s actually her?!”

Fang Xi was a little surprised. He waved his hand to disperse the formation, and saw a one-armed female cultivator walking towards him. It was Ruan Dan!

The woman was wearing a black robe and had a cold face. The right sleeve of her robe was empty and fluttering in the wind.

Surprisingly, her cultivation had already advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refining!
“It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Ruan! Congratulations on your breakthrough!”

Fang Xi smiled and invited the person in. Ever since Ruan Dan lost his arm, his personality became much colder and more withdrawn, and he was not as annoying as before.

Perhaps it was because the previous assassination attempt had delayed her cultivation progress, coupled with the fact that she was cut off from the path by the Kou family’s boss this time, that these two lessons finally made this girl grow.

But the price is really quite heavy!

On the contrary, Lu Guo’s eyes seemed to be burning with fighting spirit when he saw that Ruan Dan was able to make another breakthrough after recuperating for several years.

Ruan Dan, who also suffered from a damaged foundation, was able to break through the bottleneck between the middle and late stages of Qi Refining, so why couldn’t he?
“Congratulations, Uncle Fang. This is a gift that my master ordered me to give you!”

Ruan Dan bowed and presented a long gift box.

After opening it, a sharp air rushed towards you.

Fang Xi looked over and saw a green long sword lying quietly in the gift box. It was shaped like a wheat leaf, with a long and narrow blade. The style looked a little familiar: “This is…”

“This is the ‘Qinghe Sword’. After being recast by my master, it has been promoted to a top-grade magical weapon!” Ruan Dan replied respectfully.

Ever since her arm was broken, her edge has been restrained a lot. Even now that she has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, she is no longer as arrogant as before.

“Is this the Qinghe Sword that made uncle famous on Peach Blossom Island?” Wei Yixi opened her eyes wide, as if admiring a legend.

This legend is closely related to her family, which makes her feel extremely complicated.

“The island owner is thoughtful…”

Fang Xi was now in need of a top-grade magical weapon. He picked up the Qinghe Sword and flicked it. The sound of the sword suddenly rose, like a dragon’s roar!
At such a special moment, Ruan Xingling recast this sword, which was very meaningful!
