Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 211

[Chapter 210: 100th Anniversary Banquet (Congratulations to the Silver Alliance!)]

“Grandma Yixi…what kind of person is that Patriarch Fang?”

A green boat flew out from Peach Blossom Island, and then went to Baiyu Island and Heisha Island for a tour. After gathering people, it headed for Longyu Island.

This is a team led by Wei Yixi, the acting island master of Peach Blossom Island, who is heading to Longyu Island to congratulate Fang Xi on his 100th birthday.

The green spirit boat has a large space and a windproof spirit cover. Standing on the deck, you can’t feel any strong wind at all, it is very comfortable.

A young man wearing a jute robe and with thick eyebrows and big eyes asked Wei Yixi.

This person’s name is ‘Mu Huaihai’, and he is a cultivator from the Mu family of the Twin East Peak.

Although the Mu family was badly betrayed by the prodigal head of the family and almost lost all of their spiritual lands, there was still a branch that survived and has survived tenaciously to this day by cultivating a few acres of spiritual fields.

Mu Huaihai possesses a medium-grade earth spiritual root and is regarded as the hope of the Mu family. This time, the old patriarch of the Mu family came forward and begged Wei Yixi to take him to Longyu Island to see the world.

Out of friendship among the three families, Wei Yixi agreed.

There were not many people on the Qingzhou. Apart from Wei Yixi and Mu Huaihai, there were only Hai Dagui, Mo Xiaoyao, and Feng Xiaotian, the head of the Feng family.

When the heads of the Mo and Feng families heard this, they couldn’t help but prick up their ears.

As the most recent legends of Wandao Lake, Fang Xi and Fairy Tao Ling, who ride on dragons, are inspirational legends for countless Qi-refining practitioners.

In fact, Fang Xi’s popularity among the lower classes is higher than that of Ruan Xingling and his apprentice!
After all, Ruan Xingling and his apprentice at least have a spiritual island and a legacy… whereas Fang Xi is a real grassroots, having been a spiritual farmer before, which makes the lower-class casual cultivators feel very involved.

Maybe, they will be able to build a foundation in the future!
“Uncle…”

Wei Yixi’s eyes were slightly blurred: “He was devoted to farming before, until the battle on Dragon Fish Island, when he broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining, and then he left the island… After that, there was no news, and it was not until several years later that I learned that he had actually established his foundation…”

Basically, people who know Fang Xi all agree that he participated in the battle that destroyed the Longyu Zhong family and gained huge benefits from it.

Otherwise, how could one cultivate quickly to perfection in Qi Refining and then successfully establish the foundation?

“The uncle has an excellent temperament and is a man of integrity, like pine and cypress. He stands upright and takes every step steadily…”

Wei Yixi murmured.

She felt a little sad, thinking that perhaps it was because she had not learned the uncle’s steadiness that she had difficulty in building a successful foundation.

After hearing this, Mu Huaihai couldn’t help but feel admiration for the foundation-building ancestor: “Ancestor Fang is truly a role model for our generation…”

…

Dragon Fish Island.

Fang Xi’s 100th birthday was not celebrated with much fanfare and only a few guests were invited.

Moreover, there were few cultivators on Dragon Fish Island to begin with, but in recent years, through several tests of spiritual roots, some children with the qualifications for cultivating immortals were selected. Fang Xi did not accept them as disciples, nor did he change their surnames. He simply sent them to the fish farm and the spiritual medicine valley.

This day.

The dusty Wei Yixi and several others hurried and finally arrived at Longyu Island before the ceremony.

“This is……”

The green spirit boat stopped in mid-air, and Wei Yixi’s expression changed slightly.

There was a layer of gray-black mist around Longyu Island, which made it difficult to see the scenery behind.

“What a huge formation…it actually covers the entire Dragon Fish Island?”

Mo Xiaoyao sighed: “This formation is not much different from the Dragon Fish Zhong family’s protective formation back then, right?”

Feng Xiaotian also nodded repeatedly, feeling that Ancestor Fang was indeed a second-level alchemist who could squander such a huge amount of spirit stones to buy a second-level formation.

“Wait a minute…”

When Wei Yixi arrived last time, the Dragon Fish Island’s protective formation was not in this state yet. Naturally, he did not dare to advance rashly. He just waved his sleeves, and a talisman flew out and sank into the formation.

Not long after, a beam of light flew out. It was Xiahou Ying!
She held a black token in her hand and stepped forward to greet her with a smile: “Sister Wei, long time no see…”

“Well, take me to Changqing Pavilion!”

Wei Yixi was relieved when she saw that the person coming was Xia Houying, whom she knew. She followed Xia Houying into Dragon Fish Island and looked at the towering tree while chatting, “Why is the formation here different from last time?”

“Young Master has previously made minor adjustments to the formation… and updated the restriction token…”

Xia Houying explained.

In fact, the authority of the restriction token in her hand is very low, and it can only control the switch of the outermost gate.

Several forbidden areas on the island, such as the demon tree and Tai Sui, the spiritual rice warehouse, and even Fang Xi’s retreat room, weapon refining room, and talisman drawing room… are all inaccessible.

“The young master is in seclusion, but he will definitely come out for the dinner today. Please wait for a moment, sister…”

Xia Houying took them to the guest room to rest.

“No problem!”

Wei Yixi waved his hand and let Xiahou Ying do her own thing, while he meditated and recovered his magic power.

“I’ve heard that Dragon Fish Island is a second-level spiritual vein…”

Mo Xiaoyao felt the rich spiritual energy in the void, his face full of envy: “If I could meditate and practice here, perhaps my skills could be advanced earlier…”

“There are only a few second-level spiritual islands in the entire Wandao Lake, and second-level high-quality spiritual veins are even rarer. There are only this place and Maple Leaf Island… Xiaoyao, if you are interested, why not try Lingkong Island.”

Feng Xiaotian, the head of the Feng family next to him, joked.

The Yan family lost their foundation-building ancestor, and now they are just a Qi-refining family, but they actually occupied a second-level spiritual island. In fact, many local cultivators in Wandao Lake are not convinced.

After all, the Yan family is an outsider family. They have not yet established a firm foothold and have lost their powerful military force, so they will naturally be excluded.

“The Yan family has been staying on the island… and there are also people who are listening to the Foundation Establishment Ancestor. It’s not a good idea to attack…”

Mo Xiaoyao shook his head repeatedly: “What’s more… they have several clansmen with good qualifications as disciples in Xuantian Sect…”

“The competition among disciples of the big sects is fierce. What difference does it make between cultivators from small families like us and independent cultivators? If the Yan family’s Grand Master was still around, he would have gritted his teeth and given some support… But now it’s difficult.”

Feng Xiaotian seemed to have thought of something and let out a long sigh.

Mu Huaihai and Hai Dagui’s faces were full of curiosity. They looked here and touched there, feeling as if their eyes had been opened.

…

In the retreat room.

Fang Xi looked inward with his spiritual consciousness. With every breath he exhaled, wisps of spiritual energy from heaven and earth were sucked into his body and condensed into magic power in his dantian.

“I have just turned 100 years old, and have been planting trees for nearly ten years. The liquid mana stored in my dantian is 85 drops, and the limit of my spiritual consciousness has exceeded 170 feet…”

“More importantly, my life span has exceeded 500 years… Does this count as… getting younger as time goes by?”

Calculating the time, Fang Xi knew that his centenary banquet was about to begin, so he slowly finished his training and walked out of the practice room.

Yan Hongxiu had been waiting outside early, holding a purple-blue robe with the word “longevity” embroidered on it with black gold thread. When she saw Fang Xi coming out of seclusion, she immediately bowed down and said, “I congratulate you on your 100th birthday, and may you live long into the future!”

“Haha, you are thoughtful.”

Fang Xi laughed, changed into his robe with the help of Yan Hongxiu, and came to the banquet hall of Changqing Pavilion.

Before he entered the living room, he knew who was coming with a quick scan with his spiritual sense.

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

In fact, Fang Xi didn’t have many friends in Wandao Lake, and other Qi-refining cultivators didn’t dare to come to the banquet of foundation-building cultivators rashly.

There were only a few people in the living room, led by Wei Yixi. They each sat at a table, which seemed quite empty.

“Today is my 100th birthday. I would like to trouble you all to come and congratulate me from afar. It really brings honor to my humble home…”

Fang Xi walked into the venue slowly with a smile on his face.

“I don’t dare…”

Mo Xiaoyao and the others quickly stood up and bowed: “Congratulations to Senior Fang on your longevity, may your life be as long as the heavens…”

“Haha, you’re welcome. Please take a seat!”

Fang Xi waved his hand, asked everyone to take a seat, and clapped his hands: “Let’s start the banquet!”

Xiahou Ying and Yan Hongxiu presided over the banquet and ordered the maids to start setting up the banquet.

The rice was second-grade dragon scale rice, and there was roasted and fragrant Tai Sui meat, and the soup was ‘Little Green Dragon Soup’…

In addition, the spiritual wine includes peach blossom wine and the specially purchased second-level ‘four-flavor wine’. This kind of wine will undergo a total of four different taste changes from smelling the fragrance to entering the throat, which is endless aftertaste.

“Actually… they are all second-level spiritual objects?”

Such a luxurious scene, not to mention Mu Huaihai, even the heads of the Feng and Mo families were dumbfounded.

Mo Xiaoyao looked at the table full of delicacies, swallowed hard, and touched the storage bag in his arms. He felt that the birthday gift he had carefully prepared was a bit embarrassing to present.

“You are all my friends or the descendants of my good friends. There is no need to be so rigid about etiquette today…”

Fang Xi raised the white jade wine glass: “Drink to victory!”

“Thank you, ancestor!”

Several Qi-refining monks took a sip of the second-level spirit wine and silently practiced their internal energy to digest it.

At this moment, a sound transmission note flew into the formation, and a clear bell sound came out from it.

The sound of bells turned into a female voice: “Ruan Xingling came to congratulate Fellow Daoist Fang Xi on his birthday!”

“It’s Senior Fairy Tao Ling!”

The heads of the Feng and Mo families quickly stood up and followed Fang Xi to the outside of Changqing Pavilion to greet them.

The formation opened, and a beam of light landed in front of Changqing Pavilion. It was Ruan Xingling!

“Fellow Daoist Ruan, thank you for coming. Please come in and have a drink!”

A look of joy appeared on Fang Xi’s face, and he invited Ruan Xingling into the living room. For a moment, both the host and the guests were happy.

However, when Wei Yixi saw this scene, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Now the uncle is 100 years old, and she is 77 years old…

The maximum lifespan of a Qi-refining cultivator is about two decades, but she did not practice health-preserving techniques, and she failed in her attempt to establish a foundation, which depleted her vital energy. She probably won’t live to that age.

“That’s fine… Let the uncle send me away so that I won’t be sad… Yixi is indeed a selfish person…”

Wei Yixi felt the corners of her eyes getting hot, and she quickly wiped them with her sleeves, revealing a smile…

…

After the banquet, several Qi-refining monks returned to their guest rooms to take the time to meditate, so as not to waste such a rare opportunity.

Fang Xi was walking on Dragon Fish Island with Ruan Xingling.

“This formation…”

Ruan Xingling looked at the huge crown of the demon tree. The rest was shrouded in a layer of black fog, making it difficult to see clearly, but it gave her a feeling of fear.

“This is a second-level spiritual plant that I found. It is also the core of the ‘Mysterious Wood Formation’…”

Fang Xi smiled and explained a few words, and had no intention of taking Ruan Xingling to see it: “Last time, Fairy Ruan felt that the path was difficult. I recently got a secret method and wanted to give it to Fairy Ruan, but the conditions of this method are harsh. Please be careful, Fairy Ruan…”

If Ruan Xingling didn’t come this time, the two of them would have lost their fate, and Fang Xi was not going to send her off.

But since Ruan Xingling was here, Fang Xi didn’t mind going with the flow.

After all, killing Song Qing…is not a big deal after the completion of the ‘Nine Nether Mysterious Wood Array’.

What’s more, Ruan Xingling should keep it a secret for him.

Ruan Xingling took over the skills and secret techniques copied by Fang Xi, and her pupils widened slightly: “This is…”

She turned to look at Fang Xi, only to feel that he was shrouded in a layer of mist, and she had never really seen him clearly.
