Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 186

[Chapter 185 Rumors (Congratulations to the Silver Alliance!)]

Swoosh!
The Qinghe Sword turned into a stream of light and drilled out from the vital point of the second Thunderhorn Python.

Bang!
The huge python’s body fell heavily, and there seemed to be a small earthquake around it.

Even the snake body that had been dead for a long time was still twitching, retaining a strong vitality.

“Thank you Brother Fang for your help!”

Taoist Huangsha straightened his disheveled robes, bowed solemnly to Fang Xi and thanked him, then asked with some doubt: “Could it be that Brother Fang has already broken through to the middle stage of foundation building?”

Otherwise, how could he kill two second-level mid-quality Thunder-horned pythons so easily?

“Haha, of course I’m still in the early stages… This is all thanks to the two Taoist friends. These two Thunder Horned Pythons have fought with you until they are almost exhausted. I just took advantage of them…”

“Moreover, monsters of the same rank are often inferior to us cultivators.”

Fang Xi waved his hands, looking calm and composed.

“No, no…” Taoist Huangsha was unconvinced, with a smile on his face: “These two Thunder Horn Pythons were killed by Brother Fang, and I will not take a penny for the monster materials…”

“Not bad, this old guy is quite a good person.”

Fang Xi did not comment. He scanned with his spiritual sense and confirmed that the two thunder-horned pythons did not produce any demon pills, so he was not very interested anymore.

Of course, he hardly paid any attention to the ugly Taoist Huangsha.

“Fairy Ruan, how is the battle going on over there on the city wall? Are you injured?”

“I’m fine. Master Baifeng was attacked, but he handled it properly, so his injuries may not be serious. Headmaster Ouyang was able to bring out some of the power of the third-level magic weapon ‘Kui Niu Drum’. It shouldn’t be a problem to block the gap in the city wall…”

Ruan Xingling answered slowly, knowing her limits well in front of outsiders.

Taoist Huangsha looked at Ruan Xingling, then at Fang Xi, and stopped talking.

Ever since Fairy Taoling became famous, she has had many admirers, but she is always rude to everyone.

Now this pleasant attitude can explain a lot of problems.

But based on Fang Xi’s sword strike just now, Taoist Huangsha felt that if he allowed those admirers to fight, they would basically be defeated.

“Oh? Is that so?”

Fang Xi looked at the devastated southern city and suddenly sighed: “My property is still here…”

Ruan Xingling thought about the location of the Danqi Pavilion, which was indeed not far from here, and was speechless for a moment.

…

Thanks to Ouyang Zhen’s outburst, the Immortal City was finally defended today.

At night, the southern area of the outer city was in ruins, with occasional first-level monsters popping up, making the law enforcement monks run around in a hurry.

The casual cultivators suffered heavy casualties, some died from monsters, and some died in the chaos. After all, once the Immortal City was in chaos, the casual cultivators who were originally obedient could turn into robbery cultivators at any time!
If Taoist Huangsha had not been guarding his own shop, it would have been looted long ago!
The bodies of the cultivators were cleared out, and they actually filled up half of the square. They were covered with white cloth, and blood was still seeping and dripping from the bottom.

From every surviving household, there were sounds of crying.

The law enforcement team in the outer city was busy hunting down monsters and robbers, and the formation masters were busy repairing the city walls.

It was quite peaceful in the inner city.

Peach Blossom Pavilion.

“What happened today really scared me to death…”

Jin Ling still felt a lingering fear when she talked about what happened today: “I have lived in the Immortal City for so many years, and I have never seen the city wall being breached… Fortunately, the inner city is relatively safe today, and Senior Ruan Dan came out of seclusion later to deter the villains… Yixi and I are safe.”

With such a big thing happening, Ruan Dan had to leave the city early.

With her presence, Fang Xi’s backup plan – the green-horned fish dragon – did not appear and continued to pretend to be dead in the pond.

In the Peach Blossom Pavilion, the three foundation-building monks gathered together, all with solemn expressions.

“The third-level formation of the Immortal City is still very powerful. It was just attacked by a large number of monsters today, and its spiritual power was consumed too much. That’s why the third-level monster king seized the opportunity and destroyed the city wall with one blow. However, most of its power is still there, and the monster king dare not rush in… After the formation master repaired it, there shouldn’t be any major problems afterwards.”

Ruan Xingling gave her opinion cautiously.

“The biggest problem now is how well Bai Feng is doing. If he is injured, how serious is his injury? And how many third-level demon kings are there outside?”

Fang Xi took a sip of Qingzhu wine, feeling the bitter taste spreading out: “Also…if the war goes badly, and Baifeng Mountain forcibly recruits all the foundation-building cultivators, how will you deal with it, Ruan Dan?”

Ruan Xingling had already gone to fight on the city wall, and Fang Xi was the logistics monk.

The only one who really needs to consider this issue is Ruan Dan.

“Of course I will go with Master to kill the monster!”

Ruan Dan answered with a firm look on his face.

“Um……”

Fang Xi did not comment, but soon discovered that the formation had been disturbed and someone had come outside the cave.

When he opened the formation, he saw a graceful female cultivator walk in and bow to him: “Senior Fang, wuwuwu… my husband… died in the battle…”

“Huh? Brother Luo actually…”

Fang Xi recognized this woman; she was Luo Gong’s twenty-seventh concubine. He had attended her wedding.

It’s just that there were too many monks killed today, and I didn’t expect that Luo Gong, who was in the middle stage of foundation building, was also among them!

“Tell me in detail!”

Ruan Xingling next to her spoke.

“Yes… I just heard it from others. My husband showed his might on the city wall today and was too reckless. When the city wall was breached… he was surrounded by several second-level monsters and eventually… not a single bone was left…”

The concubine cried bitterly: “After my husband died, many sisters took his inheritance and ran away… I have a little affection for him, so I set up a mourning hall and ask the elders to do justice…”

“well……”

After a long while, Fang Xi sighed quietly, and felt the green bamboo wine in his mouth become more bitter: “Brother Luo was a decent man when he was alive… I will naturally go to pay my respects. As for justice? This is the business of Baifeng Mountain, so you don’t need to look for me.”

Luo Gong has excellent qualifications and has built his own foundation, so he has a bright future.

Who knows… there is still a glimmer of hope for the Golden Elixir in the future!
But now, a dead genius is no longer a genius.

“It is not advisable to keep advancing bravely all the way…”

Fang Xi secretly warned himself: “I have succeeded once or twice, but will there be a third time? If I keep gambling, I will lose everything!”

“Even… a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind…”

“This person is in the middle stage of foundation building when he is about 50 or 60 years old. Not to mention forming a pill in the future, at least it won’t be a big problem for him to advance to the late stage of foundation building… How eye-catching and envied would he be in the immortal city?”

“Today’s death may have something shady behind it…”

After sending the concubine away, Ruan Xingling and Ruan Dan looked at each other in silence.

“I have also heard of this Senior Luo. He was very brave and diligent in his time, and his magical powers were extraordinary…”

Ruan Dan had been full of ambition before, but now he finally calmed down: “It’s the same for the middle stage of foundation building… I’m just starting to enter foundation building…”

“That’s the danger of war. That’s why I never like fighting, because as long as I get involved, I’m likely to lose!”

Fang Xi sighed again, poured a glass of green bamboo wine, and sprinkled it on the ground to commemorate his old friend.

To be fair, although Luo Gong likes to show off a bit, he is still a good fellow Taoist.

At least he did his best to do the things I asked him to do a few times.

Moreover, I had wanted to fight for the opportunity to refine the foundation-building pill…

“It’s a pity, it’s sad, it’s lamentable… Once you die, all your journey will be in vain…”

…

In the next few days, news was flying all over Bai Ze Fairy City.

Most of the news is not good.

For example, ‘Master Bai Feng and the two demon kings were both seriously injured’, ‘Bai Ze Fairy City is short of troops, and all independent cultivators must be forcibly recruited’ and so on.

The most outrageous thing was that “Master Baifeng passed away, and the Baifeng Mountain clan was ready to abandon the city and flee!”
In short, people on the streets were in a panic, and all the shops of the big merchants were closed, as if a disaster was about to happen.

“Even in the Immortal City, will this day come?”

After going to pay tribute to Luo Gong’s mourning hall with Fang Xi, Ruan Xingling recalled the scene of the remaining concubines fighting and quarreling with each other, and seeing the devastation, she couldn’t help but sigh.

“Although Fellow Daoist Luo is a little fond of beauty, he has no offspring. Because he is devoted to Taoism and uses secret techniques to lock his yang energy, his cultivation has been advancing by leaps and bounds. Until now… even if I want to help him, I don’t know who to help…”

“Is there anything in this world that is immortal?”

Fang Xi also seemed to have a lot of emotions.

Ruan Xingling glanced at Fang Xi inconspicuously and felt that he was not much different from Luo Gong…

After returning to Taohua Pavilion, they found that there was someone guarding the door.

“Dongmen Ying greets the two seniors!”

The man was Dongmen Ying, but he looked haggard and had bloodshot eyes.

“So it’s you. What brings you here today?”

Ruan Xingling asked, “It shouldn’t be the end of the ten-year lease yet, right?”

“To be honest with you two seniors, my Dongmen family suffered heavy casualties when South City was destroyed a few days ago…”

Although Dongmen Ying looked haggard, his cultivation had already reached the stage of perfect Qi Refining: “After much thought, I decided to retreat to build my foundation… I still lack a large amount of spirit stones to buy military merits…”

Although Bai Ze Xian City has issued repeated orders, it is impossible to prohibit the private buying and selling of military merits.

“Oh? You want to exchange for a foundation-building pill?”

Fang Xi looked at Dongmen Ying with interest.

“That’s right… Fairy Taoling is so famous. If you are willing to lend me three thousand good deeds, I am willing to exchange it for the deed to my shop!”

Dongmen Ying said with a firm face.

“Land deed in exchange for military merit?” Ruan Xingling was a little surprised.

This is about selling the hens that lay eggs, which is really not worth it.

But soon, she understood.

The Danqi Pavilion is also located in the southern area of the outer city. It was affected by the beast tide. Coupled with the panic among the people, its value plummeted.

Moreover, Dongmen Ying is a man of great courage and it is not impossible that he would sacrifice the future income of his entire clan in order to build his own foundation.

“Three thousand merits, that’s too many…”

Ruan Xingling was actually already tempted and started bargaining.

“How about two thousand five hundred?” Dongmen Ying hesitated for a while, and actually gave in.

Fang Xi saw this, but his eyes flashed: “Three thousand is three thousand merits, but fellow Taoist must swear to tell us the truth, otherwise the foundation building demon will interfere and it will never succeed!”

“What?”

Dongmen Ying was shocked: “Why did I swear the Heart Demon Oath? What is the truth?”

Seeing this scene, Ruan Xingling couldn’t help but feel a chill in her heart.

“Your reaction can already explain a lot. Perhaps tomorrow, all your military achievements and land deeds will be nothing more than a piece of waste paper…”

Fang Xi became calm and composed: “Tell us everything you know now, and we can do the deal smoothly. Isn’t that convenient for both of us? We can guarantee that this matter will never be leaked!”

Compared to the two foreign foundation builders, the Dongmen family has deep roots in Bai Ze Xian City. It is possible that they are more well-informed and have some tricks to get important information from the upper echelons!
