Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 141
[Chapter 140 Selling Stolen Goods (Subscribe!)]
Two months passed in a flash.
Fang Xi has settled down in Bai Ze Fairy City, and has also become familiar with the neighbors in Yan Liu Lane.
In addition to the Su Lie couple, there is another neighbor who has a good relationship with him. Her name is “Tengluo Fairy”. She has the cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining and is a top-grade first-class talisman master.
Living in Bai Ze is not easy!
The Su Lie couple relied on the man’s high level of cultivation and went out to the Wanshou Mountain Range to hunt monsters every day.
Fairy Tengluo buys talisman paper and talisman ink, then makes them into talismans to sell, earning hard-earned money.
The rent in Bai Ze Xian City is very expensive, and the independent cultivators who can stay here for a long time must have certain skills.
If one’s cultivation skills were at the lower middle level of the first order, and one’s cultivation had not yet reached the late stage of Qi Refining, then even if one wanted to go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to hunt monsters, no one would be willing to take him!
Fortunately, Fang Xi did not have to do that.
He just showed off his superb alchemy skills slightly, and Fairy Tengluo, Su Lie and others were happy to be friends with him.
After all, the alchemist’s position in the contempt chain is much higher than that of the talisman maker.
Fang Xi often purchased some raw materials for elixirs, then refined elixirs and sold them to meet his official expenses.
By the way, you can also collect materials related to the “Foundation Building Pill”.
“This Bai Ze Immortal City is guarded by a Jindan ancestor, and fighting is prohibited in the city… It is also a place where resources from the Three Kingdoms converge, so it is indeed a good place for cultivation…”
In the alchemy room, Fang Xi looked at the purple jade furnace in front of him, a smile flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, he reached out and tapped it gently!
The lid of the furnace opened, and several pills flew out and landed in his hands.
Bang!
A pill exploded and turned into black ash.
There was also a pill with a trace of gray on its surface, which meant it was an inferior pill.
“This ‘Dragon Transformation Pill’ is ranked as a top-grade first-class pill. Even among pills of this type, it is an extremely difficult type to refine. For an ordinary alchemist, if he can make two or three pills in one furnace, he is considered to have excellent skills.”
“And I made four genuine pills and one inferior pill in one furnace. My skills are at the peak of the first level, but I still need a second-level pill recipe to practice…”
Fang Xi looked at the remaining few “Dragon Transformation Pills” and a smile appeared on his face.
The recipe for this “Dragon Transformation Pill” came from the Longyu Zhong family!
The main ingredient was a fifty-year-old “Dragon Transformation Ginseng”, which happened to be in the medicine field. It was uprooted by Jie Xiu and sealed in a jade box.
When Fang Xi saw it for the first time, he cursed the other party for wasting resources. If this ginseng was hundreds of years old, then he would have collected all the supplementary materials for his foundation-building pill.
“The Zhong family was able to raise a little blue dragon thanks to the ‘Dragon Transformation Pill’!”
He took the pill and came to the pond in the yard.
Crash!
The big black carp seemed to smell something and floated to the surface excitedly.
“I can do nothing but eating!”
Fang Xi’s eyes were wide open with anger, but he still threw a dragon pill into the big blue fish’s mouth: “I will give you another fifty years. If you still can’t break through to the second level, then die!”
This big bluefish was very lazy. Fang Xi suspected that it was deliberately delaying its breakthrough until the deadline.
However, it must be said that this is the useless way to preserve rotten wood.
If this fish breaks through to the second level at this time, with its talent of stimulating a trace of dragon blood, it might be possible to breed an inner elixir…
And then nothing happened…
Fang Xi wants to refine the foundation-building pill, and he is in need of a demon pill to practice!
After scolding his pet, Fang Xi sat on a stone pier in the courtyard and poured himself a cup of spiritual tea. “I have already collected the remaining thirteen of the fifteen auxiliary materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill. I only need the two-hundred-year-old Dragon Transformation to add the Green Spirit Liquid!”
There should be no dragon ginseng that is more than 200 years old in the Zhong family’s medicine field. Otherwise, they would have taken it to Bai Ze Fairy City to try to cooperate with others to refine foundation-building pills, so that the family could have another foundation-building cultivator.
Fang Xi also visited shops everywhere and asked neighbors, and learned that there were many Qi-refining cultivators who were quietly collecting materials for the Foundation-Building Pill in Bai Ze Immortal City.
If you want to gather all the supplementary materials, besides paying attention to the auctions and exchange fairs of major businesses, you can only look forward to the Bai Ze Xian City Grand Auction held once every ten years.
Although the 200-year-old Hualong Jingling Biling Liquid is rare, it occasionally appears in the auctions and exchanges of large businesses.
Even foundation-building pills occasionally appear at the once-in-a-decade auction, so these two kinds of spiritual medicines are bound to appear!
“The next auction should be in three years, and I’m already fifty-six…”
“Never mind, it’s only three years. I can wait!”
“In the meantime, check out other shops, maybe you’ll find it!”
Fang Xi decided to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill himself, so the amount of auxiliary materials required was naturally different from that of others.
To be on the safe side, you should prepare more than ten copies.
Of course, some auxiliary materials do not necessarily require a whole portion. For example, for Biling Liquid, only a few drops are needed in a furnace to combine the medicinal properties, so a small bottle is enough…
…
“Now, is it time?”
Fang Xi flew out of Bai Ze Fairy City silently, and when he returned again, he had turned into a Taoist priest in green clothes and a long beard.
“The entrance fee is one spirit stone. May I ask your name, fellow Taoist?”
Since Fang Xi did not show the long-term lease token, the spiritual guard at the gate asked as a matter of routine.
He even looked at the Taoist priest a little more.
After all, if one has reached the perfect level of Qi Refining, he can be considered a top figure in Bai Ze Fairy City.
“I am…Mu Dao Ren!”
Fang Xi clasped his hands in his sleeves and gave his name indifferently.
Immediately, he took the second identity token and walked into Bai Ze Fairy City.
After he changed his appearance, he entered the city again in a different guise, naturally in order to get another identity.
With the Martial God’s control over his body, as long as he doesn’t encounter a foundation-building cultivator, there shouldn’t be any problems.
The reason why he created the alias “Mudao Ren” was naturally to sell stolen goods.
In fact, in future auctions, it would be best to use a pseudonym when bidding.
Fang Xi entered the outer city and walked towards a magic weapon shop with ease.
He had already found out that this magic weapon shop was owned by a foundation-building family from the Mu Kingdom, and they had no relationship with the cultivators from the Yue Kingdom.
And what he was going to sell were naturally the stolen goods.
For example, the magic weapons obtained from killing people and robbing treasures when he was a Silver-Armored Man more than 30 years ago, and some useless resources seized from the Longyu Zhong family this time.
Well, news just came recently that the Thirty-Six Islands Alliance won a great victory and destroyed the Longyu Zhong family.
The reinforcements from the Longyu Zhong family were withdrawn halfway, which was considered as an acknowledgement of the Thirty-Six Islands Alliance’s right to rule over Wandao Lake.
After this battle, Taishu and the other three families actually suffered heavy losses and could only lie dormant and recuperate.

Wandao Lake thus entered a period of calm.
But Fang Xi knew very well that this was by no means the end, but only the beginning!
The resources of the entire Wandao Lake may have fallen into the control of the demon cultivators, and the mastermind behind this is the Situ family!
‘It would be of no benefit to me to report this secretly… Besides, it would be easy to be discovered…’
“Let’s wait until we have established our foundation and have more sophisticated methods before we discuss this…”
Thinking of this, Fang Xi walked into the store, and a receptionist came up to greet him with a smile on his face: “Sir, what kind of magic weapon do you need?”
“I wonder if your shop can buy second-hand magic tools?”
A smile appeared on Fang Xi’s gaunt Taoist face, like a dead tree coming back to life, looking extremely creepy.
“Of course there is this.”
The receptionist’s smile remained unchanged.
“I have a lot of this, go and ask the shopkeeper to come over…”
The goods that Fang Xi was going to ship for the first time had been in his hands for more than 30 years, and with the recent fall of the Zhong family, they could actually be seen in the open and were quite safe.
However, to be cautious, it is better to sell the stolen goods.
He has a lot of patience and can quietly carry out the work of selling stolen goods over a period of several years.
Half an hour later, the owner of the magic weapon shop, with a smile on his face, escorted Fang Xi out of the shop.
…
“Friend Fang, you’re back!”
When Fang Xi returned to Yanliu Lane, he saw a beautiful woman wearing a green skirt and with an elegant temperament.
She looked to be in her twenties or thirties, with an oval face and the gentle temperament of a lady from a wealthy family.
“Tengluo Fairy!”
He nodded and said, “Yes… go out and buy some alchemy materials.”
“Alas, I really envy you, fellow Taoist, for being able to learn the art of alchemy… Unlike me, I can only draw talismans every day to make a living… I have used up my talisman pen until it is almost bald… But I can’t earn a few spirit stones, and I can barely pay the rent.”
Fairy Tengluo said somewhat sadly.
“this……”
For a moment, Fang Xi didn’t know how to respond.
Did he want me to buy a top-grade talisman pen? Or pay the rent for me? Or… live together?
“Forget it. Immortal cultivators have many extraordinary skills and secret techniques. Don’t be careless and get caught…”
He glanced at the other person’s curvy figure, smiled, returned to his yard and closed the door.
“Bah… Another one with the will but no guts.”
Fairy Tengluo returned to the cave and spat secretly.
She started out by practicing charm skills, so she knew exactly what this man was thinking. But later she made a powerful enemy with him, so she had to flee to Bai Ze Fairy City for refuge, and instead made a living by drawing talismans, while also doing some other part-time jobs secretly.
I originally thought Fang Xi looked good and wanted to expand my customer base, but I didn’t expect that he was so timid!
The next day.
Fang Xi visited Su Lie and his wife, bringing a bottle of elixir he had just made as a gift.
After chatting for a few minutes, he began to inquire about the past of Fairy Tengluo.
“This woman is not a serious female cultivator, fellow Taoists, please be careful. It is said that many male cultivators in the outer city are jealous of her and are vying for her. Some have even made plans to fight outside the city!”
Jin Ling got the elixir and was smiling at first, but when he mentioned Fairy Tengluo, his expression turned cold.
“I see. I understand…”
Fang Xi secretly felt a little regretful. It didn’t seem like a big problem, and it was not like he couldn’t afford a talisman pen…
By now, after selling the stolen goods, the number of spirit stones in his storage bag had exceeded five thousand. He could almost try to bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
However, it was not a good time to continue the conversation, so we started talking about the scenery in the Wanshou Mountains.
“It’s not easy to make a living in the Mountain of Beasts… Behind the seemingly ordinary group of first-level monsters, there may even be a second-level beast king hidden…”
Su Lie was also very emotional when talking about this: “It is said that last year, a foundation-building cultivator, while chasing a second-level demon beast that was suspected to have given birth to an inner elixir, mistakenly entered the territory of two ‘Thunder Horned Pythons’ equivalent to the late stage of foundation-building. He was beaten and seriously injured. He barely managed to tell his last wishes before he passed away… Alas, even a foundation-building cultivator is like this, how difficult it is for casual cultivators like us to obtain a second-level inner elixir!”
