Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 152

[Chapter 151 Qing Mu Chang Sheng (asking for monthly ticket)]

“Well… Actually, among the ancient and new methods, there are truly top-level techniques. Their common feature is that not only do their magic power improve incredibly quickly, but they also come with a variety of powerful spells and magical powers…”

Yuan Feihong scratched his head. “As for the distinction between ancient and new methods, it is a distinction that has only appeared in the last few thousand years. For example, the “Mingxin Jue” that I practice is the top-level technique among the new methods. What are its characteristics? It is probably a more detailed level division… For example, in the foundation-building stage, my “Mingxin Jue” can be divided into nine levels, turning the big bottleneck into a small bottleneck, which is relatively easy to break through…”

“And those ancient methods are simply divided into the initial stage, middle stage, late stage, and perfect stages of foundation building, which makes it more difficult to break through.”

“I see. I wonder if there is any new method for wood attribute here?” Fang Xi doesn’t like to make things difficult for himself. If he can break through the simple ones, it’s better to keep it simple.

Dividing a large stage into many small stages and having clear goals will make it easier to succeed.

“This… There is no such technique on the second floor of this pavilion.”

Kong Jiang smiled awkwardly.

Fang Xi was a little disappointed, but it was understandable. After all, he was not one of them, so it was impossible to give him the best.

It’s good enough if you can practice the skills you sell.

“In that case, I will choose this book ‘Qingmu Changsheng Gong’…”

Fang Xi made a decision quickly. Since he wanted to practice, he naturally needed a higher level.

“Okay, with Thirty Young Master’s guarantee, the deal is done.”

Kong Jiang stroked his beard with a smile, and then said, “The original copy of this technique is sold for one thousand spirit stones. If you want to buy it out, you can pay ten thousand spirit stones.”

“Where do I get so much money?”

Fang Xi smiled bitterly, took out a thousand spirit stones from his storage bag, and piled them on a nearby table.

Kong Jiang counted them one by one, and finally went to the attic with great care, opened a magic circle, and took out a wooden box.

The wooden box opened, revealing a emerald green jade slip: “Before the transaction, please swear by the Dao that you will not pass on the skills to others!”

Fang Xi’s expression became serious and he swore an oath.

Immediately, he calmly took the jade slip from Kong Jiang’s hand and entered his spiritual consciousness into it.

The Qi-refining and foundation-building techniques of “Qingmu Changsheng Gong” are now vividly remembered.

Seeing that there was indeed a part about forming the elixir at the end, he couldn’t help but nod with satisfaction.

“It’s great that I can help you today.”

Seeing that the deal was successfully concluded, Yuan Feihong also breathed a sigh of relief.

“Friend Yuan…”

Fang Xi did not leave, but wandered around the second floor casually, asking casually, “Did my joining Bai Ze Immortal City encounter any setbacks?”

“That’s… exactly.” Yuan Feihong replied with a wry smile.

“Since this is the case, I don’t want to embarrass Fellow Daoist Yuan… Let’s just leave it at that.” Fang Xi smiled calmly, “Also, I’m a little greedy and would like to buy another book here. Is that okay?”

“This…” Kong Jiang was a little anxious.

Instead, Yuan Feihong fell into deep thought.

“This is really an unreasonable request, but I saw a book of inheritance and I liked it very much. After this matter, I owe you a favor.”

Fang Xi noticed Yuan Feihong’s hesitation and deliberately increased the stakes.

Anyway, favors are only favors if you value them, but they are nothing
if you don’t! “Okay, that’s settled!” Yuan Feihong said, “You don’t have to owe me a favor, just consider it as our settlement…”

After saying this, he actually looked relieved, which made Fang Xi confused.

But of course he would not miss this opportunity. He came to the wooden shelf of Xiuxian Baiyi, picked up a jade slip, and smiled brightly: “I wonder how much this second-level puppetry inheritance is priced at?”

…

Half an hour later.

The second floor of Wanfa Pavilion.

Kong Jiang and Fang Xi had already left, leaving Yuan Feihong alone, staring at the mirror in a daze.

There was a flash of light in the formation, and Ouyang Zhen strode out, casting a spell towards the mirror.

The mirror surface suddenly sparkled, and then turned into a stream of light and flew into Ouyang Zhen’s sleeve.

He looked at this junior fellow apprentice and asked with a smile: “Junior brother, why don’t you ask me the result?”

“Brother didn’t inform me or hint at the time, but I knew the result.” Yuan Feihong smiled bitterly and said, “It seems that Fellow Daoist Fang is still not in my eyes…”

“Well, his bone age is fifty-eight… His body is good, his magic power is average, and judging from his appearance, his spiritual root aptitude is also average…”

“I will use my own spiritual consciousness and the master’s ‘Piercing Mirror’ to investigate. Even a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building will not be able to detect it. You can rest assured…”

Ouyang Zhen reported the result: “This person does have some little secrets, but it’s just a hidden card of body training. Your Xiaoqing doesn’t want to get close to him, probably because he is very good at close combat… This person has limited potential and is not worth our investment. Let’s forget about recruiting him as a guest official…”

“I’ll follow your instructions in everything, senior brother.” Yuan Feihong bowed and did not argue any more.

“Haha, this person is quite clever. He took this opportunity to buy a second-level puppet technique!”

Ouyang Zhen laughed loudly: “With this technique, it is enough to gain a foothold in the Immortal City. Junior brother, don’t worry… Moreover, the cause and effect between him and me are settled, and we don’t owe each other anything.”

“yes……”

Yuan Feihong murmured.

In fact, some favors will not appreciate in value if you keep them owed. On the contrary, the favor may turn into hatred.

It is also smart to repay a favor immediately.

…

Fang Xi believed that he had no friendship with Yuan Feihong, nor did he have any intention of holding any favors against him, and was not waiting for the other party to reach a high level of cultivation before seeking a reward.

If you can spend it now, spend it now. It is the most practical to cash it in!
Back at Building 87 of Yanliu Lane, he looked at the courtyard and the first-level spiritual environment and shook his head: “Although I have the skills, I still have to rent a cave house in the inner city…”

“That’s fine. I can’t work part-time… I’ll just continue to be a casual cultivator…”

“This time, the guest official’s affairs have encountered many twists and turns. The person behind the scenes, hehe…”

Fang Xi’s eyes were deep.

…

Ten days later, the joke about a casual foundation-building cultivator who wanted to join Bai Ze Immortal City as a guest but failed began to spread in Bai Ze Immortal City.

Those Qi-refining monks did not dare to be disrespectful to the Foundation-building monks in person, but they took great pleasure in spreading gossip behind their backs. Perhaps they were motivated by some hidden dark psychology.

After Fang Xi established his foundation as a casual cultivator, he became slightly famous again, but this time it was a bad reputation…

But he didn’t care at all.

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

What does it matter to him what people say?
After dozens or hundreds of years, he can still go to these people’s graves to dance! During
this period, Chen Ping actually passed away, which made him a little sad, so he went to pay his respects.

“Fellow Daoist Jin Ling… I have a bad reputation in the city recently. Do you want to choose to leave?”

After paying tribute to Chen Ping and bidding farewell to Lu Zhi and the others, Fang Xi called Jin Ling and asked casually.

“I believe that you are not that kind of person!”

Jin Ling looks weak, but at this moment he is quite brave.

“That’s great.”

Fang Xi laughed: “I just happen to be in need of a maid and a housekeeper. I hope you will condescend to me. Let’s go to the inner city first and rent a second-level cave house, and then we can talk about other things…”

The inner city area of Bai Ze Fairy City is a second-level spiritual land, and the caves are also divided into many grades.

As for the person in charge? It was still Manager Han from last time.

Fang Xi directly rented a cave residence, spending 750 spirit stones, with a lease term starting from ten years.

…

The new cave was very large. Fang Xi looked inside and out and found that the spiritual energy in the cave was about mid-level second grade, which was enough for him to practice. He couldn’t help but feel very satisfied.

“Master, please give the cave a name!”

Jin Ling took out a talisman pen and said with a smile.

“Let’s call it ‘Peach Blossom Pavilion’… There is a Peach Blossom Pavilion on Peach Blossom Island, and in the Peach Blossom Pavilion there is the Peach Blossom Fairy. The Peach Blossom Fairy plants peach trees and picks peach blossoms to sell for money to make wine…”

Fang Xi felt quite emotional.

He might have to live in Taohua Pavilion for a long time.

This time the guest official affair was full of twists and turns. There was probably some villain behind it, and it was most likely Song Qing from the Song family!

If I travel outside the city frequently at this time, I might run into danger!
Although I am not afraid, there is no need to fight the Song family head-on.

Fang Xi can continue to stay in Bai Ze Fairy City!

There is second-grade middle-grade spiritual energy here, and I have my own skills. Relying on my qualifications comparable to high-grade spiritual roots, I can slowly improve my magic power even if I sit in meditation and practice, without any other resources!

What’s more, how could the other party, a young master of a family with a high position and power, stay in Bai Ze Xian City for a long time?
In terms of patience and free time, I will definitely win!

When I reach a higher level in the future, I can suppress him with a flick of my hand and take revenge!
…

Two years later.

Peach Blossom Pavilion.

In the quiet room, Fang Xi opened his eyes and a warm green color flashed across them.

“I spent a year comprehending the technique, and a year adjusting the flow of my magical power. Today, I have finally mastered the Qingmu Changsheng Gong…”

He was quite emotional.

This ‘Qingmu Changsheng Gong’ is complex and exquisite, far surpassing the ‘Changchun Jue’ and ‘Qingmu Gong’, and it is indeed a method that can be practiced to the stage of forming a pill!
And adjusting the method is not a simple matter.

Fortunately, Fang Xi discovered that his ‘Green Wood Spirit Body’ had endless uses and seemed to have a bonus in this regard.

Otherwise, changing the basic skills would not be so easy.

He looked inward at his Dantian and saw twenty drops of green liquid magic power. The color was now even deeper and more verdant, like particles of colored glaze jade, with faint patterns emerging on the surface.

This is the mana of the Qingmu Changsheng Gong after transformation. Although the total amount of mana has not changed, the quality has increased by several times!
“After building the foundation, the next step of cultivation is to continuously increase the upper limit of liquid mana…”

“According to the description of ‘Qingmu Changsheng Gong’, at least forty to fifty drops of liquid mana must be stored in the Dantian before one can try to break through the middle stage of foundation building… This process usually takes several decades for cultivators to slowly polish. Of course, there are exceptions with the help of elixirs…”

Mana is quickly restored after being consumed, but it is very difficult to continuously increase the upper limit.

However, after reaching the foundation-building stage, elixirs that can increase magical powers become extremely rare.

The recipe for the ‘Shui Yun Dan’ that Fang Xi got from the Longyu Zhong family last time required hundreds of years of spiritual medicine as the main ingredient, which was very troublesome to collect…

From this we can see that it is really difficult to improve your magical powers after the foundation-building period.

Not to mention, there are some cultivators who are limited by their spiritual root qualifications and may spend their entire lives lingering in the initial stages of foundation building.
