Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 135

[Chapter 134 Current Situation (Congratulations to Baiyin!)]

The sixteenth year of Emperor Ming of Daliang.

Emperor Ming took power and came into violent conflict with the Empress Dowager’s party and the Prime Minister’s party, forcing the Empress Dowager to death.

The prime minister’s party launched a counterattack before his death, letting the rebel army enter the capital, slaughtering the royal family and ministers… The horses trampled the palace, and blood flowed like a river…

History books named this the “Night of the Long Knife”!
After this night, the Daliang court collapsed, and the world entered an era of separatist regimes and dragons rising up everywhere!

…

Although Emperor Ming was dead, the world was without a ruler, so the Daliang era was still in effect.

It is now the thirty-third year of Emperor Ming’s reign.

Sanyuan City.

After casually placing Tai Sui in a temporary cave somewhere in the mountains, Fang Xi came to this city.

Nowadays, there is no Daliang dragon flag in Sanyuan City. Instead, there is a dark golden dragon flag with the word “Liang” on it!

“King Liang?!”

Fang Xi silently recited the name of the rising king of Dingzhou, smiled faintly, and walked into the city.

Both the soldiers guarding the city and the passers-by pretended not to see him, allowing him to pass through the city gate as if no one was around.

“Have you heard? This time, King Liang sent out troops to attack King Gui and won a great victory!”

“Why did I hear that King Liang was ambushed in Shuanglong Mountain?”

“Hush… How dare you say that? Be careful not to disturb the morale of the army. I’ll execute you!”

Along the way, the low voices of the pedestrians’ conversations seemed to have no obstruction and entered Fang Xi’s ears.

Trample!

Occasionally, a few fully armed soldiers and generals would ride their horses arrogantly through the city and bump into pedestrians, and everyone dared not say anything.

In troubled times, military power is the most important!
The status of military men has been greatly improved. As the trusted guards of the rebel kings, they can kill people at will without any law!

The prices of general merchandise and food have skyrocketed in the market.

Thinking of the countless refugees in the outer city who were like zombies, hoping to settle down in the city, Fang Xi couldn’t help but sigh: “In troubled times, the people are worse than dogs…”

As he was thinking, he came to the location of a martial arts gym.

As a result, he found that this place was no longer a martial arts hall, but had been converted into a large courtyard, with soldiers guarding the door.

“Where is this?”

Fang Xi’s eyes moved, and he casually stopped an old man passing by.

The old man was a little angry when he saw someone blocking his way, but when he saw a young man in a green robe with a temperament that was not like that of an ordinary person, he dared not neglect him and answered respectfully: “This is the residence of Lord Zhou, the guerrilla general ‘Zhou Shenglong’ under the command of King Liang…”

“What about the original martial arts school?”

“There was a martial arts school?” The old man was confused for a while, and then he slapped his head and said, “That was decades ago, right? Oh… This martial arts school was very popular back then, and many dignitaries flocked to it… Unfortunately, it rose and fell suddenly. Later, it was said that the two masters had an internal conflict and a big fight. Many people died, and they went their separate ways. After that, the martial arts school fell into decline…”

“Internal strife between the two martial arts school masters?” Fang Xi thought of the brotherhood between Qingmu and Qingsang and felt that it was unlikely.

But then, he burst out laughing again.

How could a person remain unchanged after decades?
“Then, King Liang attacked the city. After the city fell, the successor to the martial arts hall resisted. He was killed after the city was broken, and the martial arts hall was also seized by King Liang…”

The father-in-law said a lot without realizing it, and finally realized that he had said something wrong and quickly covered his mouth.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I found that there was no one around.

“I see. Thank you, old man.”

Fang Xi casually threw out a golden bean and turned away.

The old man rubbed his eyes, and when he found out that it was a golden bean, he immediately put it into his arms, and looked around like a thief…

…

Baiyun Martial Arts School.

Compared to the dispersal of Youjian Martial Arts School, Baiyun Martial Arts School has stubbornly taken root in Sanyuan City.

Even though the city was attacked by a rebellious army, Mu Piaomiao stood firm against all odds and remained neutral, thus avoiding the reckoning after the city was broken.

“Even if I take action, I can’t stop the decline of a dynasty…”

Fang Xi stood in front of the martial arts hall, looking at the mottled plaque, and couldn’t help but sigh.

“Who are you? Do you want to come to the martial arts school to learn martial arts?”

A disciple walked out, saw Fang Xi, and saw the exquisite green bamboo robe. He asked without hesitation.

“I came to see some old friends…”

Fang Xi scanned with his spiritual sense and found Mu Piaomiao lying on a rattan chair in the backyard: “Forget it, I’ll go by myself…”

His figure flashed and he entered the martial arts hall.

The disciple didn’t even notice it. He just rubbed his eyes and screamed, “There’s a ghost!!!”

…

Mu Piaomiao, with a head full of silver hair, lay on a soft chair, looking at the grape racks that were full of juicy green fruits.

For ancient people, sixty years old was considered a long life.

She had suffered a lot when she was young. Thanks to the elixir Fang Xi gave her, she still had good hearing and eyesight, but she was also filled with sadness about aging and fear of death.

“Junior sister…”

Suddenly, a figure in a green robe came in front of her and called out softly.

The man standing there was like a green jade bamboo, full of vitality, which was the vigor and vitality unique to young people.

“It’s great to be young…”

Mu Piaomiao looked bewildered, muttering to himself: “I seem to have returned to the past and met my senior brother…”

“Ahem, Junior Sister, it really was me.” Fang Xi reminded with a cough.

Mu Piaomiao finally came back to his senses from his trance, touched his wrinkled face, and looked at Fang Xi intently: “Am I dreaming?!”

“no……”

Fang Xi’s mouth twitched. He didn’t know that this junior sister had such a side to her.

Mu Piaomiao glanced at Fang Xi again and suddenly laughed: “Are you his son? Or grandson? Don’t joke with me like this…”

“Back then in Black Rock City…”

Fang Xi thought for a moment, and told a story about an embarrassing incident that happened to Mu Piaomiao during the Demon Tree disaster: “You sneaked into the kitchen in the middle of the night, and you were almost beaten by Master Mu…”

“Why would your grandfather even say something like this?”

Mu Piaomiao felt a little embarrassed, but as she looked at Fang Xi, the expression on her face gradually changed from certainty to confusion.

The identical appearance was understandable, but this kind of temperament, demeanor, and even mysterious feeling?
“Big Brother?”

She called out tentatively.

“Little Junior Sister, is there something wrong?”

Fang Xi asked back with a smile.

“Stop talking, I want to die!”

Mu Piaomiao picked up the palm-leaf fan beside her and covered her face with it.

“Hahaha!”

Seeing that this little junior sister was still so lively and cute, Fang Xi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Are you really my senior brother? How come you are so young?”

Mu Piaomiao asked in surprise.

“At the peak of martial arts, one can reverse life and death, regain youth… all of these are as easy as pie!”

Fang Xi stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a master.

“Unfortunately, Junior Sister, my achievements are limited, and I am still at the True Strength realm…”

Mu Piaomiao sighed. Although Fang Xi gave her the elixirs at the beginning, she kept them all to train the subsequent martial arts hall masters.

This resulted in the Baiyun Martial Arts School having a constant stream of martial arts school masters, but their personal cultivation was ultimately delayed.

“How are the others?”

Fang Xi thought of Zhang Mingting and Lily…

“Some are getting old, some are dying… There aren’t many of those people left.” Mu Piaomiao put down the cattail leaf fan. “But Zhang Mingting is really talented, and with your guidance and the help of elixirs… He later broke through the true energy and became a martial artist. He traveled around the world and tried to reach the level of a grandmaster. Now he has made a name for himself as a hero, but I wonder if he has achieved the status of a grandmaster?”

She also told some news about other people.

For ordinary people, thirty years is two generations, during which birth, aging, sickness and death are inevitable…

Finally, he said, “Lily moved out of the martial arts hall, and I bought her a small courtyard nearby to live in. She…had a hard life and never got married…”

Mu Piaomiao is also unmarried, saying that she wants to take care of her father’s martial arts school.

Fang Xi couldn’t help but feel emotional when he heard this.

At this moment, a man with a proud look walked in from outside: “Old Master, a disciple said that he saw a ghost outside. I was a little worried, so I came to check… Hmm? Who are you?”

The big man looked at Fang Xi with a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.

How come he didn’t know there were outsiders in the martial arts gym?

Mu Piaomiao looked at Fang Xi, and seeing that Fang Xi did not refute, he said directly: “This is your great-grandmaster… why don’t you step forward and salute?”

He then introduced Fang Xi: “This is the current head of Baiyun Martial Arts School—Mu Baizheng! Baizheng, why don’t you greet me?”

“Uncle Master? Uncle Master, I have met all your fellow disciples. Could it be that…”

Mu Bai was scratching his head innocently. No matter how he looked at this pretty boy, he felt that there was something wrong with him.

Fang Xi was too lazy to say more to him and just snapped his fingers.

Boom!

Invisible true energy emerged, pressing the man to his knees on the ground, and even cracks appeared on the floor.

“Ah… the release of true energy?!”

Mu Bai was a man with good eyesight. He was so surprised that he immediately kowtowed and said, “Hello, Uncle Master. Are you a Grandmaster?”

According to rumors, only a martial saint can release his true energy.

But it was incredible that there was no trace of fireworks
!

Fang Xi smiled and casually gave him a bottle of first-level Qi and Blood Pill.

Mu Baizheng took the bottle and opened the cork when he smelled a familiar medicinal fragrance. His expression changed drastically and he quickly put the bottle into his arms like a thief, his heart still pounding.

He remembered this taste!
At the beginning, he was just an orphan, adopted by Baiyun Martial Arts School. His talent was just average, but he was calm and honest.

Later, his uncle-grandmaster rewarded him with a pill, and he immediately broke through to the realm of a true power warrior, stood out among his fellow disciples, and eventually took over the position of martial arts hall master!

This is the taste of the elixir at that time!

Even though he was an honest man, he couldn’t wait to kowtow to Fang Xi a few more times…

“Brother, why did you come back this time?”

Mu Piaomiao waved his hand and asked Mu Baizheng to stand aside, and his expression became serious.

“I’ve finished some mundane things. By the way, how is Yuanhe Mountain outside the city?”

Fang Xi asked casually.

“More than a decade ago, the King of Liang rose to power and traveled across the world. He personally went to Yuanhe Mountain to seek the secret manual of the Yuanhe Five Thunder Hands. However, the old master Linghu of Yuanhe Mountain had already passed away, so no one could stop him. The mountain gate was breached…”

Mu Piaomiao told the story slowly and leisurely.

“Why… Could it be that my reputation as the supreme grandmaster can no longer suppress others?”

Fang Xi was a little surprised.

“Supreme Grandmaster?”

Mu Piaomiao rolled his eyes: “We are just mortals. You have disappeared for thirty years. How much prestige do you have left?”
