Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 130

[Chapter 129: Decision (asking for monthly ticket)]

After sorting the Qi-boosting pills into different categories, Fang Xi stood up.

These top-grade Qi-replenishing pills can be used by oneself, while the mid- and low-grade ones can be taken to exchange meetings to continue trading for various supplies.

Once you have a slight understanding of the four arts of cultivating immortals, earning spirit stones is not too difficult.

Ever since he revealed his cultivation level of the late stage of Qi Refining, he has become famous on Peach Blossom Island, and many independent cultivators have come to him to ask for help in refining pills.

At the beginning, he might just want to build friendship and not care about the success rate of the pill.

But gradually, the news of Fang Xi’s excellent alchemy skills and low fees spread, and his business grew.

“I didn’t expect alchemists to make so much money… If I ask someone to make an elixir, first of all, the recipe will be free to view, and then if the elixir is ruined, there is no need to compensate…”

“As long as there is one genuine pill in each furnace, it will be considered a successful refining and you can get a considerable reward…”

These are the “rules of the trade” of alchemists. When Fang Xi first heard them, he was a little bit unbelievable. Then he couldn’t help but sigh at the huge profits of alchemists. No wonder they despised talisman masters and weapon refiners…

After walking out of the alchemy room, Fang Xi saw Lu Guo who looked anxious.

“What happened?”

Fang Xi raised his eyebrows slightly. This person seemed to be greatly stimulated after seeing Ruan Dan break through despite having a broken arm, and he has been practicing diligently recently.

They suddenly came to our house at this time, there must be something important!
“The Zhong family… the Zhong family took the lead in declaring war on the Thirty-Six Island Alliance!”

Lu Guo bowed and handed over a jade slip: “This is a manifesto… If what is said in it is true, then Yu Lingzi is really dead… What should we do?”

Fang Xi took the jade slip, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and smiled: “It’s quite reasonable…”

As one of the seven foundation-building immortal clans of the Yue Kingdom, the Zhong family has quite a few talented people. This manifesto was written in an impassioned manner, describing all the treacherous and despicable means used by the Thirty-Six Island Alliance to provoke war.

As for the ‘Silver-Armored Demon’, there was no mention of it at all.

After all, they are all from aristocratic families, and they are all like this.

And the final history is also written by the victors.

The most important thing is that in the jade slip, there is a special image imprinted!
It is the scene of the death of the foundation-building cultivator Yu Lingzi!

The Thirty-Six Islands Alliance originally had only one independent cultivator who was building a foundation, and the Taishu family invited Yu Lingzi to be a guest supreme elder, so they had the confidence to confront the Zhong family.

Now that one of them is dead, it is difficult for the team to carry on alone, and there is a sign of defeat before the battle even begins.

“The Taishu family hid it so well. No wonder Yu Lingzi was able to build a foundation. It turns out that he was originally a cultivator of the Taishu family, but later he changed his name and appearance… The Zhong family was able to investigate this. It turns out that there are spies buried in the Taishu family!”

Fang Xi was filled with emotion when he saw the subsequent revelations.

“But now, if the Zhong family’s army approaches, what should we do?”

Lu Guo looked panicked, even a little scared.

He had just received news that Lingkong City had been breached and most of his colleagues in the joint law enforcement team were in danger.

If he had not retired due to serious injuries before, he might have suffered the same fate now!

At this moment, he even felt a little fortunate that he was not buried with his family in Lingkong Market!

Could this be what the master meant by ‘Misfortunes often bring blessings’?

“For such a major matter, we will naturally listen to the island owner.”

Fang Xi answered as a matter of course, causing Lu Guo to roll his eyes unconsciously.

The last time the Silver-Armored Demon came to kill us, he didn’t seem to be very loyal.

Of course, most monks are like this, and Lu Guo would not be stupid enough to inform on them.

With his status, if he rashly informs on others, he might end up being the one who suffers!

Sure enough, a moment later, a sound transmission note flew over.

Fang Xi took it and smiled: “The island master is here to discuss matters. Let’s all go to the meeting room…”

…

In the meeting hall.

Many monks gathered together.

Today, Peach Blossom Island is at its peak. There are three cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage alone: Ruan Dan, Fang Xi, and Ruan Xingling!

Among the Thirty-Six Islands, it is definitely the leading force, no wonder it is coveted by many.

The assassination of Ruan Dan hampered his cultivation progress, and Ruan Xingling encountered a major change that prevented her from building a foundation. Both of these were caused by various forces.

Decades have passed, and batches of immortal seedlings have gradually grown up. Even though there were heavy casualties last time, the life-and-death battles can greatly enhance the cultivators’ character and will.

There are five or six Qi Refining Level 6 cultivators who have emerged in the past few years. It is no longer the situation of two or three big cats and small cats as before.

“Uncle!”

Among the group of cultivators, Wei Yixi saw Fang Xi coming in a green bamboo robe, and his eyes immediately lit up and he waved to him.

“Alas… You are almost thirty, why are you still acting like a little girl?”

Fang Xi came over and rubbed Wei Yixi’s little head, feeling a little helpless.

However, this girl only showed this innocent side in front of him. Most of the time, she was still eccentric. On Peach Blossom Island, she was gradually known as the Little Witch of West Peak…

He took a quick glance and found that the Mu family was also there, including Mu Zhong’s youngest son Mu Liuying.

In addition, the head of the Mo family, Mo Qinghe, has also arrived, and it seems that he is determined to become a vassal of Peach Blossom Island.

After everyone gathered, Ruan Danqing shouted, “The island master is here!”

Ruan Xingling, wearing a bright red palace dress, came to the main seat and sat down.

“Greetings, Master Island Master!”

A group of monks saluted hurriedly.

“Never mind… The reason I called you all here today is because of the war between the Zhong family and the Thirty-Six Islands Alliance!”

Ruan Xingling’s voice was as clear as a silver bell as she recounted the whole story: “Now, where should our Peach Blossom Island go? This island master would like to hear your opinions.”

“Of course, the Thirty-Six Islands Alliance was unjust first and is at a disadvantage. Why not just join the Zhong family?!”

A rough-looking monk with a big beard shouted.

When these words were spoken, everyone looked at them sideways.

“This person is probably an undercover agent of the Zhong family. No, he is an open pawn!”

Fang Xi thought to himself.

Sure enough, a female cultivator immediately retorted: “The Zhong family’s army is still far away. If we declare our betrayal, what will we do if that independent cultivator comes to kill us?”

“A mere worshiper may not work hard for the three families of Taishu!”

The bearded man replied disapprovingly: “Everyone can see that the Thirty-Six Island Alliance is in danger. If we don’t jump off the ship immediately, what are we waiting for? Although it is a bit dangerous, wealth and honor are sought in danger. If we turn the tables and make great contributions, we may be rewarded with the opportunity to build a foundation. I hope the island master will understand!”

“Building the foundation, building the foundation…”

Ruan Xingling sighed.

Since she lost the chance several years ago, she has never found another opportunity to build her foundation.

At this moment, he suddenly said: “This island master has made up his mind and surrendered to the Zhong family!”

“What?”

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

Many people looked up in shock, but the bearded man was overjoyed: “The island master is wise!”

…

“Friend Fang, please stay!”

After everyone dispersed, Ruan Dan stopped Fang Xi.

“Well, is there something wrong, Young Island Master?”

Fang Xi was a little surprised.

“My master wants to see you!” Ruan Dan lowered her voice and took Fang Xi to a secret room.

There were amulets posted all around the secret room, and it seemed quite quiet after it was closed.

“Fang Daoyou…”

Ruan Xingling was indeed among them. She looked solemn and asked, “I wonder if your Qinghe sword is still sharp?”

“Even if it’s a rusty old sword, it can still kill people at a critical moment…”

Fang Xi sighed and said, “Island Master, do you have any advice for me?”

“Okay, okay…” Ruan Xingling pursed her lips and smiled: “Today, the island master publicly announced his surrender to the Zhong family, but in fact it was just a ploy within the alliance!”

“Um?”

Fang Xi looked up suddenly.

“Humph! Compared to the alliance’s inaction, the Zhong family took the initiative to send people to attack and massacre the Mo family, and also caused my disciple to lose his arm. Is this how they are going to let this vengeance go?”

Ruan Xingling sneered and explained: “Now I will spread the news through the Zhong family’s insiders and ask the Zhong family to send someone important to discuss the matter. Then we can rob and kill him…”

“I see.”

Fang Xi nodded.

“I know you’re devoted to farming and raising fish, but Wandao Lake is in chaos, and no island can stay out of it…”

Ruan Xingling said: “If this is accomplished, this island master swears that Emerald Cliff will be the sacred place of the Fang family for generations to come!”

“Thank you, Island Master!”

Fang Xi sighed: “I will sell this old sword to the island owner…”

In this situation, he had no choice but to agree.

…

night.

Dark clouds covered the moon.

A dim light passed quietly over Jingyue Lake and disappeared into the villa.

Not long after, a graceful figure rose up, and countless petals fell around.

By the Jingyue Lake, inside the hole of a peach tree, a seemingly rotten rattan mask moved, and the two eyes inside stared blankly at the scene.

Inside an underground cave.

“Ruan Xingling is indeed connected to a third party…”

“That dim glow and aura…”

In the underground cave, Fang Xi suddenly opened his eyes.

Through the connection between the demon tree and the demon servant, the other party’s sight is just like his own!
Fang Xi did not feel any resentment towards Ruan Xingling for hiding this from him.

If the ruler does not keep secrets, he will lose his ministers; if the ministers do not keep secrets, they will lose themselves!
For those who want to do great things, keeping secrets is always the first priority!

What’s more, apart from the fact that he and Ruan Xingling have a long-standing friendship, their relationship is not that close.

It is understandable that you have to protect yourself at the critical moment. It is understandable.

Fang Xi touched his chin: “Ruan Xingling is actively contacting third-party forces. This is a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation. There must be great benefits…”

Like him, Ruan Xingling has already reached the tenth level of Qi Refining and her magic power cannot be further improved.

The only thing that can be pursued is to build a foundation!
This is Fang Xi’s speculation. After all, this woman is also a person who is devoted to the Tao. Apart from the opportunity to build a foundation, he can’t think of anything that can impress her.

“Old Ruan is a bit stingy. He didn’t even let me take part in this good thing…”

‘Forget it, I’ll do it myself!’

Behind Fang Xi, the banyan tree’s aerial roots danced and penetrated into his body.

If before he was just “repaying the favor” after the Demon Tree had eaten and drunk its fill, now he was squeezing the potential of the Demon Tree itself to the limit.

Convert a large amount of life energy into pure qi and blood power, and then inject it into the body to seek a breakthrough!

“Almost there!”

Fang Xi murmured softly: “By then…”
