Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 220

[Chapter 219: Alliance Discussion (Congratulations to Hanyu for joining the Silver Alliance!)]

Regarding the matter of Lingkong Island, Fang Xi could only ask Yan Hongxiu to stay calm, and then wrote a few letters to inform Yan Changkong and Ruan Xingling respectively, and to inquire about the situation from Liu Sanqi.

After all, this is the Yan family’s business, so of course the Yan family members have to take charge of it!

One month later.

Fang Xi received a reply from Ruan Xingling, who wanted to invite all the current foundation-building cultivators in Wandao Lake to a small gathering.

He sent a letter directly, stating that unless the location was set at Longyu Island, he would definitely not go or would only send a representative.

Ruan Xingling also communicated with Liu Sanqi and Li Lei, and finally the four foundation-building monks gathered at Longyu Island.

…

In the air above the Changqing Pavilion, a green-horned fish dragon several meters long was hovering around the pavilion. Its huge body was surrounded by clouds and mist, making the pavilion look like a fairyland.

“Fellow Daoist Fang, this spiritual beast is truly majestic!”

Li Lei laughed.

He was a middle-aged monk with a mighty appearance, wearing a purple robe, and standing behind him were two followers in the Qi Refining Stage.

One of them looked very old, with white hair and looked sickly. It was Yan Laoqi!

Although Li Lei looked powerful, he was actually the last one to build his foundation among everyone, and was still at the initial stage of building his foundation.

“I have been raising this spiritual beast for a long time. It advanced by chance later on…”

Fang Xi waved her hands, ignoring Li Lei’s greed and temptation, and said directly: “Fairy Ruan gathered us together today, she must have some advice for us!”

“Since the turmoil in Bai Ze Immortal City, there have been many more foreign cultivators coming to Wan Dao Lake. Murders and treasure-stealing incidents continue despite repeated bans. This trend must not be allowed to continue!”

Ruan Xingling glanced at Fang Xi and got down to business: “Today, I invite you all to a small gathering. The first thing to do is to set rules for the four of us who are building our foundation!”

“Of course!”

Li Lei laughed loudly: “What I hate most is Jie Xiu!”

He pointed at Yan Laoqi beside him and said, “Head of the Yan family, don’t you think so?”

“Ahem… that’s right… ahem…”

Old Seven Yan seemed to have lost half his life. He coughed and said, “Senior Li saved our family member Yan Hongye from danger and took her in as a concubine. She is now considered a family member of our Yan family. I voluntarily rented the second-level spiritual vein on Lingkong Island to Fellow Daoist Li and his subordinates. As for the Yan family? There is also a first-level spiritual vein on the island, which is enough for cultivation… cough cough…”

Yan Hongye is Yan Hongxiu’s youngest sister, who was married to the Lord of Longshe Island as a concubine for resources.

“Uh… I wonder how the Dragon Snake Island Master is doing?”

Although Fang Xi knew that Li Lei did not dare to destroy the Yan family, but took a roundabout approach, probably out of consideration for the face of Yan Changkong of Xuantian Sect, he still couldn’t help but ask a question.

“Hmph… I hate those who practice qigong the most in my life, so I just killed them!” Li Lei snorted coldly and answered with great righteousness.

“Seventh Master Yan… is that really the case?”

Fang Xi looked at the head of the Yan family. This man had been seriously ill before and now it seemed that he would not live long.

“Ahem… Exactly!”

Yan Laoqi gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood, then answered through gritted teeth.

His heart was filled with sadness.

Lingkong Island had fallen to this point, and had actually already sought help from Yan Changkong of Xuantian Sect through secret channels.

But Changkong didn’t come!

This person’s heart is so cold and cruel!
This made Yan Laoqi lose his spirit, and he was like a dead tree, and his heart was as dead as ashes…

“Then this matter is settled…”

Ruan Xingling shook her head. Only when one helps oneself can others help him. She didn’t want to say anything more about the current situation of the Yan family. “Since all of you fellow Taoists have your own Taoist temples, you have something to rely on for your daily cultivation. This is very good…”

At this moment, Li Lei’s eyes flashed, and he said, “As Foundation Establishment cultivators, we naturally have to take on the responsibility of maintaining the peace of Wandao Lake. I think we can patrol regularly… and the four of us can sign an offensive and defensive alliance and agree to help each other in the future. How do you think?”

As for the other three cultivators, Liu Sanqi was in the middle stage of foundation building, and Ruan Xingling was famous in the beast tide. Even though Fang Xi had killed a second-level middle-grade monster, he didn’t dare to offend them all. He wanted to form an alliance to deal with the latecomers!
‘Is the situation… so bad?’

Fang Xi and Ruan Xingling looked at each other, both a little surprised.

Li Lei’s proposal was obviously a prediction that more foundation-building cultivators would come to Wandao Lake to seek refuge in the future!

It is even possible that they are a group of robbers with the ability to build a foundation!

“this……”

Fang Xi shook his head and refused: “I just want to guard this little piece of land of Dragon Fish Island, patrol the lake area, and form an offensive and defensive alliance, so there is no need for that…”

He couldn’t leave the island at all, and he was not afraid of most dangers on the island. Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable for him to sign this alliance?
Would he have to rescue other allies when they were in danger?

So it’s a joke.

Li Lei’s expression changed slightly: “Brother Liu, Fairy Ruan…what do you two think?”

“The so-called covenant has no actual constraints, so it is indeed unnecessary…”

Ruan Xingling glanced at Fang Xi and said calmly: “In the future, let’s judge by deeds rather than by intentions… I just ask you to try not to affect the low-level cultivators in Wandao Lake…”

…

The party naturally ended in a bad mood.

Ruan Xingling stayed behind on purpose, looking at Fang Xi, and said with a half-smile on her face: “Now that Bai Ze Immortal City is in turmoil, the original Danqi Pavilion is going to reduce the price again. From this point of view, it was indeed a wise decision for us to sell it in the first place. It shows that fellow Daoist has a talent in this area…”

Fang Xi was reluctant to leave Dragon Fish Island. Ruan Xingling was extremely intelligent and had the secret technique of forming the elixir in her hands, so perhaps she had guessed something.

But she said nothing, and she was somewhat doubting her own judgment.

After all, even if Fang Xi found a third-level spiritual root, the spiritual veins of Dragon Fish Island were only at the second level, and it was impossible to practice the art of immortality.

Even if there are means such as the ‘Spirit Gathering Array’, the consumption is too great and the cost outweighs the benefits. Casual cultivators cannot afford the large amount of spirit stones to be invested every year.

“That’s natural, but it also has something to do with our identities. As a foundation-builder, no matter if we make a little money or lose it, we can wait rationally, stretch out the time, and find the best opportunity to escape. If we are Qi-refining, our life span is limited, so perhaps we can only rush for quick success and be as stupid as Dongmen Ying…”

Fang Xi didn’t care whether Ruan Xingling guessed it or not. After all, his foundation was already established. As long as the tiger didn’t come out of the cave, he would not be afraid of anything. He smiled and replied: “It’s just a little money anyway. It doesn’t matter whether it was a profit or a loss… But now the Immortal City is in turmoil, and there are many independent cultivators everywhere. Many robbery cultivators took the opportunity to move around. There may be no ruthless characters among them. If you meet them, you can go to Longyu Island to take shelter…”

“Thank you!”

Ruan Xingling bowed solemnly.

Although she and Fang Xi were not destined to be together, they were still very good friends.

Life is like this, and it is a great blessing.

…

“Brother Liu…”

Two beams of light flew out of Dragon Fish Island one after the other in an instant.

Li Lei drove a purple wooden shuttle and caught up with Liu Sanqi: “Brother Liu, you are walking so fast… Haha, back then, several brothers from my Sanfen Hall were injured by the ‘Poison Brand Python’ in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. Thanks to Brother Liu’s miraculous healing, otherwise they would have been dead long ago… I haven’t thanked Brother Liu properly yet, come, let’s go to Lingkong Island together and have a few drinks!”

He and Liu Sanqi are both outsiders, not as good as Fang Xi and Ruan Xingling, but they are natural allies.

“Friend Li…”

Liu Sanqi sighed and shook his head: “I have something else to do, so I won’t go to Lingkong Island… We are all casual cultivators who have established our foundation in the Immortal City. We can talk about anything in a good way, and there is no need to fall out…”

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Li Lei’s reply, he turned into a streak of green light and flew away, obviously not wanting to get involved in this mess again.

Li Lei looked at Liu Sanqi’s departing back, his face gradually becoming expressionless.

“It seems that this person is unwilling to get involved… It’s really strange. Ruan Xingling and Fang Xi are only in the early stage of foundation building. Although their record is good, how can they compare with masters in the middle stage of foundation building?”

A faint voice of spiritual consciousness suddenly sounded beside him.

Splash!
The lake water parted, revealing a man in black.

He was obviously at the foundation-building stage, and Liu Sanqi hadn’t discovered him hiding here before!
“Liu Sanqi has always been kind to others, so it’s normal that he doesn’t want to participate in our plan… Today I proposed an alliance, but Fang Xi rejected it outright. It’s obvious that he is very cautious. If we can’t be friends, then we’re enemies!”

Li Lei stroked his beard and said, “The two most precious second-grade high-quality spiritual vein islands above Wandao Lake are occupied by that couple. I don’t know how long the chaos in Bai Ze Immortal City will last. I have to find a good place to practice…”

Although Lingkong Island has a second-level spiritual vein, it is only of the lower second level, barely enough for cultivators in the early stages of foundation building to practice.

However, after getting used to the abundant spiritual energy in Bai Ze Fairy City, any cultivator who wants to make progress on the path of cultivation will set their sights on obtaining more advanced spiritual veins.

“…One of them is an alchemist and a talisman master, and the other is a weapon refiner… They are indeed wealthy.”

The man in black laughed strangely.

“Not only that, I have already found out that it has been more than 40 years since the last collection of the Disha Lake on Longyu Island…”

Li Lei’s eyes were dim. “And that green-horned fish dragon… It has a 30% to 40% chance of stimulating the dragon bloodline and giving birth to an inner elixir in its body! These are two spiritual objects for foundation building! They are enough for those old guys who are worried about the foundation building of their children and disciples to covet…”

“It seems that your first choice of target is Dragon Fish Island?”

The man in black fell into deep thought.

“The spiritual energy and resources of Dragon Fish Island are better than those of Maple Leaf Island. Moreover, Fairy Tao Ling is very good at fighting. She was famous in Bai Ze Fairy City and even better than Fang Xi… Naturally, I have to choose the weaker opponent.”

Li Lei’s eyes were dark. “Although Fang Xi must have hidden a trump card, we can spend several years planning… If we want to plot against a foundation-building cultivator, several years are necessary. When the time comes, we can let the robbery cultivators break through the Dragon Fish Island, and then we can recapture it… Aren’t all the spiritual veins and resources ours? Haha… haha…”

He let out a low laugh, obviously used to this kind of thing.

Any casual cultivator who can survive in Bai Ze Fairy City and build a foundation is obviously quite capable.

This Li Lei, in fact, is a robbery cultivator in private!
“This way… it’s quite profitable.”

The man in black nodded, not objecting to this matter: “It’s just that there is a second-level formation guarding the island, which is a problem… The foundation-building cultivators are guarding the second-level formation, and even cultivators in the late stage of foundation-building will find it difficult to break through…”

“This is simple… Look at this!”

Li Lei took out a wooden box from his storage bag and opened it with great care, revealing a silver light.

“It’s actually this kind of talisman!”

The man in black took a deep breath and said, “It’s hard for you to get it…”

“Haha… After all, I’ve been struggling in Bai Ze Fairy City for so many years, so there must be some opportunities.” Li Lei smiled complacently.
