Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 223

[Chapter 222 Mirage Pearl (Congratulations to the Silver Alliance!)]

On Dragon Fish Island.

The morning light is dim.

Zhong Hongyu walked out of the retreat room, stretched lazily towards the morning glow, and began to sweep up the fallen leaves and dust with a broom.

In the fish farm, Zhong Qi, an old man with completely white hair, was holding a bucket of fish food and feeding the jade carp with a smile on his face.

In the Spiritual Medicine Valley, Xiahou Zun called out to the spiritual farmers, and they began to work hard…

None of them noticed what happened last night.

It seemed… that there were no robbers coming to attack Dragon Fish Island at night.

This is indeed the case.

Due to the characteristics of the third-order formation, Fang Xi actually took those Tribulation Cultivators directly into the Demon Realm, and then let the fighting inside be turned upside down without the outside world noticing the slightest bit.

This is the horror of the forbidden formation!
If Fang Xi hadn’t wanted to move his hands and feet, he wouldn’t even need to show up. With the power of the formation itself, he could easily toy with this group of robbers to death!
Dragon Fish Island forbidden area, under the demon tree.

Fang Xi bared his teeth as he looked at the half-destroyed second-level puppets and began to repair and replace the damaged parts…

“Alas… I have only studied half of this Heavenly Wolf Howling Moon Formation… Even if I use the monsters as human pillars to cast spells, the backlash is still too strong…”

This is not a mobile formation, but a semi-mobile formation. The advantage is that it is easy to set up, but the disadvantage is that the monsters must “stand still”. Once they move, the formation is at risk of collapse…

“Also… the formation flags and formation plates are not strong enough… it’s best to use third-level materials, otherwise they will be damaged after a few uses… it’s also best to replace the spirit stones with high-quality ones… where can I find high-quality spirit stones?”

“The Heavenly Wolf Howling Moon Formation I created this time can barely calculate the third level. Even if it will be scrapped after two or three uses, it is already very good…”

…

After dealing with the previous batch of second-order puppets, Fang Xi looked at another batch of wooden puppets that had been standing nearby like zombies.

These wooden puppets were all missing arms and legs, and the two leading them were actually in the initial stage of foundation building!

It was the group of robbers that he had captured last night!
Although they were all missing arms and legs and looked horrible after being hit by the quasi-third-order Heavenly Wolf, these were not a problem for the wooden puppet!

As for those who died too tragically and in too small a manner, Fang Xi directly used them as fertilizer and buried them under the demon tree.

He looked at the two foundation-building wooden puppets and suddenly pointed at one of them.

The expressionless middle-aged man took a step forward, clasped his hands together, and spit out a white bead from his mouth.

This bead is only the size of a longan, surrounded by a layer of dreamy mist, and constantly emitting a hazy white light. It is obviously also a rare treasure.

After Fang Xi took the pearl away, the man’s face twitched and he turned into a big man with a curly beard, angry eyes, and a fierce appearance, whom he was very familiar with.

“Li Lei?!”

He took a look and was not surprised. He just said to himself, “This Lingkong Island is indeed not a good place for feng shui. It is a natural hindrance to building a foundation… Yu Lingzi, the ancestor of the Yan family, and now it’s Li Lei’s turn… How many years has he only been practicing?”

“Next time if I’m not happy with someone, I might as well give him Lingkong Island… maybe it will have a miraculous effect.”

Fang Xi did not use his hands to take the bead that Li Lei spat out. He directly scanned it with his spiritual sense and then used his magic power to refine it. Then, a piece of information emerged, which was the operating formula of this treasure.

“Mirage Pearl? It is said that there is a creature called Mirage Dragon, which is best at manipulating Mirage Qi and creating illusions… Even cultivators can be deceived. This Mirage Pearl is taken from a Mirage Shell with hundreds of years of power. After the cultivators sacrifice and refine it, it can conceal their appearance and their own magical aura?”

“For me, I have the Martial God Transformation and the Hundred Illusions Technique, which seem to be redundant.”

“What’s more, I have always acted uprightly and I don’t have any enemies!”

Fang Xi sighed, carefully put away the Mirage Pearl and put it into his storage bag.

Rustle!

The demon tree shook, and its aerial roots dropped down, hanging up the puppets.

Fang Xi sat cross-legged under the demon tree and began to practice the “longevity technique” today.

Lines of green grass and tree energy connected through the aerial roots and entered the demon tree tattoo on his back. They then went through a purification process before flowing through his body.

“The last time I planted trees on Peach Blossom Island, Yi Mu’s Dharma Body was affected by the instincts of the demon tree, and the progress was false… This time I can truly appreciate how difficult it is…”

“But I am not in a hurry. Anyway, I have a long life span… I can continue to consume it.”

Fang Xi looked inward and found that the silver seal characters representing the “Yi Mu Dharma Body” on his own green wooden spirit body were almost completed, and he nodded secretly.

“At this rate… in about ten years at most, I will be able to achieve the ‘Yi Mu Dharmakaya’!”

“Before that, maybe I will break through to the late stage of foundation building…”

Moreover, during this practice, he felt that the feedback from the demon tree was very strong.

After all, a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building was buried, and there were also several cultivators in the late stage of Qi refining and perfection as fertilizer.

“It has increased my lifespan quite a bit…”

“I don’t know how much feedback I can get if I bury Liu Sanqi, who seems to have a plant-like spirit body.”

“But… they are not my enemies, so this is not good.”

After a long time, Fang Xi stood up, feeling the vitality coming from his body, and couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.

…

Evergreen Pavilion.

Fang Xi walked out of the forbidden area of the Demon Tree and went straight to find Zhong Hongyu.

“My Lord Island Master…”

Zhong Hongyu bowed guiltily, her calves trembling. She thought Fang Xi had discovered her whispering with Xia Houying, and she didn’t know how to punish herself.

“How is your training going now? Are there any problems?”

“Although I don’t know much about the Xuan Yin Gong, I have a good friend who is building a foundation. Don’t miss the opportunity. If you don’t understand something, I can write to you and ask…”

Fang Xi had a very kind expression and asked Zhong Hongyu many questions.

The Xuantian Sect is a large and powerful sect, and perhaps receives many disciples with special spiritual roots every year, but he is different.

It is rare to come across an example of a spiritual root, so naturally I need to study it carefully.

‘In fact, the spiritual root grade is the most important. Low-grade five-element spiritual roots are not as good as low-grade special spiritual roots, but low-grade special spiritual roots are not as good as medium-grade five-element spiritual roots…’

Fang Xi asked a few questions, and after learning that Zhong Hongyu had made great achievements in the “Flashing Air Technique”, he immediately became interested: “Show me a demonstration…”

“yes!”

Zhong Hongyu came to the open space in front of Changqing Pavilion, clasped her hands together, and muttered something.

The next moment, a layer of silver-white light enveloped her entire body.

Then, as if traveling through the void, her rushing figure disappeared and flashed dozens of meters away.

“Huhu… This time, after using the Flash Technique, my mana will be consumed by 10% or 20%…”

Zhong Hongyu breathed slightly and there was some sweat on her forehead.

Even if the ‘Flash in the Sky Technique’ is cultivated to the highest level, it can only flash a hundred meters in distance. A cultivator who has established his foundation can reach that distance with a single attack using a spiritual weapon.

“You can slowly build up your magic power… but once you master this technique, it will be more than enough to protect yourself in the future.”

Fang Xi was quite satisfied. He asked Zhong Hongyu to step forward, stretched out his white wrist, and placed two fingers on it.

A layer of foundation-building magic power immediately spread along Zhong Hongyu’s meridians, and along with it came spiritual consciousness.

Zhong Hongyu’s ears turned red with embarrassment.

After all, allowing the monks to explore this kind of thing with their magical powers would reveal everything, which was more embarrassing than having your naked body seen by others.

If a self-reliant cultivator encounters such an intrusion into privacy, he will immediately turn hostile and fight to the death.

But Zhong Hongyu had been treated like this by Fang Xi since she was a child, so she had long been accustomed to it…

Now I’m just a little shy.

“As expected… I still can’t comprehend it fully!”

Fang Xi sighed in his heart, but his expression softened a bit. He gave some pointers on Zhong Hongyu’s training and also rewarded her with a “Wooden Sword Talisman”.

After Zhong Hongyu bowed and left, he began to ponder: “The spiritual body of a cultivator is very hidden, and it is difficult for outsiders to detect it… The same is true for spiritual roots… Even if I input mana like I did and explore it inch by inch, I still can’t feel that this woman is any different from ordinary cultivators…”

But this is normal. If the Kong Linggen was really a treasure, Xuantian Sect would have come to ask for it long ago.

In fact, although the special spiritual roots such as empty spiritual roots and blood spiritual roots are extremely rare, the Xuantian Sect’s spirit seekers can always find them every once in a while.

Even if there is a lack of suitable skills, the path will not be as smooth as the five elements spiritual roots and special spiritual roots such as wind, thunder and ice.

Moreover, even the Jindan ancestor has not been able to figure out anything from these empty spiritual roots and blood spiritual roots.

Over time, few people took it seriously.

After all, Fang Xi possessed the ‘Treasure Mirror of the Heavens’ and was extremely interested in the power of the void, so he brought Zhong Hongyu to his side and supported her in her cultivation.

However, he observed it day and night, but was unable to comprehend the magical power of the empty spiritual root.

In fact, what he gained was not as good as the insights he gained from comprehending the third-level formation’s movement through the void!

“However, I was able to make smooth progress in the third-order formation, perhaps because I spent day and night comprehending the ‘Treasure Mirror of the Heavens’ and the ethereal root…”

Although, Fang Xi himself didn’t know what he had comprehended.

But he had a vague feeling that when he was thinking about the restriction of moving the void with the third-level formation, it seemed to be easier than before, and it was also easier to break through with a flash of inspiration.

“Now… Zhong Hongyu, who is in the Qi Refining Stage, seems to be of no use to me…”

“How about… supporting her in building her foundation? I’ll just watch from the side?”

“When a cultivator breaks through a great realm, it is the time when their foundation is most likely to be exposed! If we can observe more carefully at that time, perhaps we can gain something?”

Fang Xi touched his chin, thinking secretly.

With his current wealth, helping a cultivator who has reached the age of sixty before his death limit to break through to the foundation-building stage is not a heavy burden for him.

At worst, after his Qi training is complete, he can directly reward Zhong Hongyu with the “Black Wind Evil Qi”.

After all, this girl has a mid-grade spiritual root. After obtaining a spiritual item for foundation building, she still has a chance of breaking through to the foundation building stage.

Even if he failed, Fang Xi wouldn’t feel bad at all.
