Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 169

[Chapter 168 Neighbors (Congratulations to the Silver Alliance!)]

Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Fang Xi, who had just celebrated his 70th birthday, walked out of a medicine shop, looking a little depressed.

His plan to collect elixirs and recipes for enhancing spiritual awareness was doomed to fail from the very beginning.

“Even the powerful medicine shops in the inner city sell relatively common second-level medicines and recipes… Pills that enhance spiritual awareness are very precious and can only be found at auctions. As for the recipes, they are the unique craftsmanship of some second-level alchemists and will not be sold outside… I am still too naive.”

Fortunately, Fang Xi didn’t feel depressed. There are many things in life that are not satisfactory, and one can’t always demand perfection in everything.

He has now purchased several second-level pill recipes to spread his reputation as a second-level lower-grade alchemist. Occasionally, in addition to Qi-refining cultivators, there are also a few Foundation-building practitioners who ask him to refine some pills.

Overall, the income was just enough to cover the rent with a slight surplus, so I could live in Bai Ze Fairy City for a long time.

“Besides that… I’ve also gotten some information about the black market… maybe it’s time to go there.”

Fang Xi now has many of Situ Jia’s magic cultivation materials in his storage bag, so it is not convenient to sell them directly in the market.

Apart from that, there was also that inferior foundation-building pill.

Even if this kind of medicine is properly stored, the medicinal effect can only last for about twenty years at most. If you don’t use it now, it will soon be a waste of your money.

Fang Xi prepared to go to the black market to find an opportunity to make a move.

“Um?”

He returned to Taohua Pavilion and found that the cave not far away had also been rented out.

“Uncle…”

In the courtyard, Wei Yixi was playing with a big black carp. Seeing Fang Xi, she immediately came forward pitifully and said, “I want to go home. No one is taking care of my jade bees and spiritual fields at home…”

Over the past few years, Wei Yixi has been kept by Fang Xi’s side, and her temper has been tempered greatly.

Now, in addition to the art of taming beasts, he has also learned veterinary medicine, which makes him a little craftsman.

However, after being away for so long, she still felt a little homesick.

Even though Bai Ze Fairy City has better spiritual energy and meets all needs, it is still the same.

“The situation is turbulent now, don’t go back…”

Fang Xi frowned and scolded: “The spiritual land is right there, it won’t run away…”

In fact, he knew in his heart that Emerald Cliff was just a brief stop in his life, but for Wei Yixi, it was the legacy left by his parents who fought for their lives.

Born here, raised here, called hometown, how can I give it up?
Looking at Wei Yixi’s gloomy expression, his tone turned soft again: “You are in this city, just in time to improve your cultivation. You have good spiritual roots, and there is hope for foundation building… If you can build a foundation, it will truly comfort the spirits of the two Taoist friends Hua and Wei…”

After comforting his eldest niece, Fang Xi looked at the peach blossoms in the courtyard and was thinking about the things in the cave next door when Ruan Dan came back with a hint of joy on her face: “Uncle Fang, my master is back… Please come over to my house for a chat.”

“oh?”

Fang Xi’s eyes lit up, and he immediately had some guesses.

The cave next to Taohua Pavilion is called “Bi Bo Cave”. It is shaded by green trees and has spiritual energy of about the middle level of the second order, which is enough to meet the needs of cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building.

“Brother Fang!”

Ruan Xingling stood at the entrance of the cave and greeted them personally with a smile on her face.

“Why didn’t you tell me that Xingling came back?”

Fang Xi seemed to complain, but walked into the cave very naturally.

This made Ruan Dan, who was about to lead the way, stand there in a daze. Looking at Fang Xi’s expression, he couldn’t help but feel extremely complicated. He seemed to be worried whether he would change his words to call Uncle Fang “Master” in the future?
…

Inside the Bibo Cave.

Ruan Xingling invited Fang Xi into a quiet room, then waved her hand and closed the door, making Ruan Dan feel like an outsider.

“rise!”

Fang Xi raised his hand and released a few formation flags, which sank into the surrounding walls. Suddenly, a bright light emerged and turned into a layer of barrier.

“Well, we should have a confidential conversation here so nothing will be leaked.”

He sat cross-legged, looking solemn: “Has Xing Ling taken any action in the past few years?”

The so-called action was naturally to report the appearance of the demonic cultivators in Wandao Lake to Xuantian Sect.

Fang Xi had wanted to do this for a long time, and later passed it to Ruan Xingling.

But after several years, there seems to be no response.

Wandao Lake was still calm, which was exactly the biggest abnormality!
Ruan Xingling put her hair behind her ears and brewed a cup of spiritual tea for Fang Xi, with a slightly bitter expression: “Of course I did it… Xingling hid her identity and delivered news to the guarding monks in several markets of Xuantian Sect… As a result, Daoyou also knew it.”

“Xuantian Sect actually did not take any action?”

Fang Xi’s pupils shrank: “Could it be that the ‘Ancestor Jiang’ of Xuantian Sect has passed away?”

The Jindan cultivator in charge of Xuantian Sect is very old and is known as the living fossil of the Yue Kingdom’s immortal cultivation world. Many cultivators dare not call him by his name and just call him “Ancestor Jiang” instead.

“impossible!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xi shook his head and said, “If the Jindan cultivator died, Xuantian Sect would not be able to conceal it no matter how hard they tried. Yue State would have already been full of news and even fell into chaos…”

“Xingling’s opinion is the same as Brother Fang’s, so there is only one possibility…” Ruan Xingling smiled even more bitterly.

“Acquiesce? Xuantian Sect actually acquiesced to the demon cultivators occupying Wandao Lake? Doesn’t the Sect Master know that what the ‘Destroying Heaven Alliance’ wants to destroy is the ‘Heaven’ of Xuantian Sect?”

Fang Xi fell into deep thought.

Ruan Xingling seemed to be thinking about something: “When Xingling was traveling, it happened to be the battle of the demise of the Situ family. In this battle, the biggest losses were suffered by other foundation-building families… and the revenge of the Situ family afterwards, because the Xuantian Sect was too strong, was mainly focused on the direct murderers such as the Song family. The Tianfu Shen family was even exterminated because of this… If we infer from the results, before and after the Situ family was exterminated, the Xuantian Sect was not only unscathed, but also greatly weakened the forces of the foundation-building families in Yue State…”

“If this is a conspiracy, then the Xuantian Sect must have planned it very carefully!”

Fang Xi suddenly felt a little chilly, as if he saw an invisible giant hand fiddling with the chessboard of Yue State.

Back then, in the secret realm of Ziyou Mountain, interests were used to induce many noble families to join forces to attack Hongye Valley and the Situ family.

After that, he allowed the Situ family to retaliate and strike back at the major foundation-building forces…

Even now, they tacitly allow the Situ family to recuperate in Wandao Lake… If the evil cultivators make a comeback in the future, the Song family may be the one to suffer the greatest impact!

This is probably the plan of Xuantian Sect, to allow the Tianmie League to recover a little bit of its vitality and continue to fight the Song family to death!
“This is repeatedly using the Situ family as a knife… The key is that this knife has to act according to the enemy’s will… Those remnants don’t even understand this matter, what a pitiful creature!”

Fang Xi couldn’t help but sigh.

Ruan Xingling’s expression was moved. “When Xingling was traveling, she once heard a saying – ‘Foundation building is the cloud above the Yue Kingdom’s immortal cultivation world, and Xuantian Sect is the real sky’! Now that I think about it, it’s true!”

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

Clouds can provide cover for a while, but once the wind blows, there will be nothing left.

Only that piece of ‘sky’ still stands still!

Even if people spit at the sky and throw stones…it will only hit their own heads in the end!

“This matter… must not be known to any third person, Xing Ling…”

Fang Xi looked at Ruan Xingling.

“Brother Fang, do you still not trust Xing Ling?” Ruan Xing Ling pursed her lips and smiled: “Every time before taking action, Xing Ling would conceal her identity… Afterwards, she would flee thousands of miles away, and then take a detour back to the Immortal City, preparing to stay there for a while.”

“That’s good, but I’ll have to trouble Xing Ling to make one last move… This time, let’s choose the Song family’s market.”

Fang Xi thought about it and said thoughtfully.

The Xuantian Sect may not care about the evil cultivators of the Mietian Alliance, but the Song Family will definitely care.

If the Song family went to Wandao Lake to fight the evil cultivators to the death, Fang Xi would be happy to see it happen.

Even…if their guess is true, this is called following the general trend, as if there is divine help!
Xuantian Sect must be very happy to see the Song family consume so much strength, and may even add fuel to the fire.

“Song family?”

Ruan Xingling looked at Fang Xi with a slightly strange expression. She had also specifically inquired about the story of that year.

All I can say is that it was unwise for the Song family to offend Fang Xi at that time…

But she was also somewhat speechless in her heart, feeling that Fang Xi was hiding too deeply.

Even if he didn’t perform too outstandingly, even if he was just as good as Na Luo Gong, the choice made by Bai Ze Xian City would surely be different.

“Well, if it’s the Song family, then this can be accomplished. Maybe Xing Ling can return to her hometown soon…”

However, Ruan Xingling said nothing and just remembered it silently.

…

After a long time, Fang Xi walked out of the secret room and ran into Ruan Dan who was moving here.

“Uncle…Fang!”

Ruan Dan bowed, almost unable to maintain her cold expression.

“Well… we will be neighbors from now on. You can come to me if you have any problems.”

Fang Xi nodded slightly, turned and left.

His relationship with Ruan Xingling can only be considered more than friends but less than lovers.

Fang Xi still appreciates Ruan Xingling’s personality.

As for the mediocre facial features, they are really mediocre!
Fang Xi has never been too interested in those beautiful fairies, after all, beauty is also the source of trouble!
On the contrary, a beautiful girl with outstanding temperament and a kind heart is the first choice.

As for Taoist companions and the like?

Fang Xi was determined to pursue the great path and had never considered such matters.

Even because he has cultivated to the level of Martial God and has perfect control over his essence, he currently has no plans to leave any offspring.

…

Peach Blossom Pavilion, a retreat room.

Fang Xi practiced his skills and found that the upper limit of the liquid mana of the ‘Qingmu Changsheng Gong’ had reached twenty-nine drops.

“It’s a little slower than I expected. It turns out that the further you go in the training process, the harder it is to do…”

This liquid mana can be recovered quickly after being consumed in battles, but it is very difficult to slowly increase the upper limit. Fang Xi has nothing to say and just relies on his own talent and spiritual veins to work hard every day!

After completing the full circulation of the technique, he began to practice the Thousand Silk Puppets Controlling Technique. When his mind became tired, he slowly recovered through breathing exercises.

After all this was completed, Fang Xi communicated with the ‘Treasure Mirror of the Heavens’ through his spiritual consciousness and came to the world of fragments.
