Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 226

[Chapter 225: The Battle of Evil Spirits (asking for monthly tickets)]

One month later.

Evergreen Pavilion.

Fang Xi was holding a jade slip with a gloomy expression.

This is a letter from Ruan Xingling.

Half a month ago, this woman was challenged by a casual cultivator named Chong Ruhu.

This casual cultivator Chong Ruhu had already entered the middle stage of foundation building and had set his sights on Maple Leaf Island, but was still defeated by Ruan Xingling.

The Wandao Lake cultivators then realized that Ruan Xingling had already secretly broken through to the middle stage of foundation building and mastered several secret techniques of the “Xuan Yin Gong”, greatly increasing her strength.

Moreover, Liu Sanqi also appeared in this battle, and he actually came to help Ruan Xingling, which was not bad.

“The Long family hasn’t even arrived yet, and there are so many things going on…”

Fang Xi stroked his chin and said, “Why do I feel that if the news of my breakthrough to the middle stage of foundation building hadn’t spread… Chong Ruhu might have come to challenge me? Is Ruan Xingling here to take the blame for me?”

According to the description in Ruan Xingling’s letter, this Chong Ruhu practiced both magic and body, and his body refining technique had reached the fourth level comparable to the initial stage of foundation building. He could transform into a demon tiger and was suspected to be a descendant of the “Ten Thousand Beasts Body” lineage. His Qi refining skills had reached the middle stage of foundation building, making him very difficult to deal with.

“It’s a pity to waste this vigorous fertilizer…”

Fang Xi felt a little regretful.

“Young Master…”

At this time, Yan Hongxiu came in holding a plate of snacks, her voice was soft and charming.

“Hongxiu ah… huh?”

Fang Xi scanned with his spiritual sense and was a little surprised: “You have completed Qi Refining? It seems that you have been practicing very hard recently… It is really rare to be able to break through before the sixtieth limit.”

“This is all thanks to the warning you gave me back then. I have no way of repaying you…”

Yan Hongxiu was about to fall on Fang Xi when suddenly footsteps were heard outside.

“Sir, Xiahou Ying wants to see you!”

Xia Houying’s deliberately heavier voice came through.

“snort……”

Yan Hongxiu pulled the clothes on her shoulders angrily and stood aside.

Xia Houying came in smiling, and seemed to have just discovered Yan Hongxiu: “Hey… Sister Hongxiu is here too? Did I bother you?”

“No, you came at the right time…”

Fang Xi laughed, but saw Xiahou Ying’s expression straighten up: “Sir… the map has arrived, I want to see you outside the island!”

“Oh? Show him in.”

He waved his hand and asked Xia Houying to leave.

Not long after, the woman led a man wearing the robe of a disciple of Xuantian Sect, with a tall figure, handsome face, and a faint aura of elixir, into Changqing Pavilion.

“Zhan Tu greets the island owner… Thank you for your support over the years. I have no way to repay you… I have prepared a small gift, please accept it.”

When Zhan Tu saw Fang Xi, he immediately bowed deeply and presented him with a gift.

Although it is not worth many spirit stones, it is very exquisite and must have been made with great care.

“Forget it. After all, you are a disciple from Dragon Fish Island… You must practice well in Xuantian Sect in the future, strive to build your foundation as soon as possible, and spread the reputation of Dragon Fish Island.”

Fang Xi swept his spiritual sense and found that Zhan Tu had also entered the realm of perfect Qi Refining.

Not only that, in terms of the profoundness of his magic power, as well as the secret techniques of his cultivation, he is far better than Yan Hongxiu.

“As expected of a person with both fire and wood spiritual roots of the highest quality, if he takes the foundation-building pill, he will have at least a 60% chance of building a foundation, which is more likely than Yan Changkong did back then…”

‘In comparison, even if this maidservant of mine gets the foundation-building pill by chance, her success rate is only between 30% and 40%.’

Fang Xi glanced at Yan Hongxiu and shook his head.

After talking to Zhan Tu for a while longer, he sent him downstairs to meet his parents.

“This person… hehe, did he come here specifically to seek help because he had predicted that the Black Wind Evil would appear on Dragon Fish Island?”

Fang Xi touched his chin and looked at Zhan Tu’s leaving back, thoughtfully.

The effects of Black Wind Evil and Foundation Establishment Pill overlap slightly. If used together, the probability will offset each other to some extent.

But it’s better than nothing!
Moreover, you can also hand it in to the sect and get a lot of good deeds as rewards!
With this amount of good deeds, you can borrow some from the master and fellow disciples, and maybe you can get enough good deeds to exchange for the foundation-building pill!

Not long after, Xiahou Ying came back to report: “Zhan Tu did not go to the mortal world to visit his parents first, but went to the fish farm first and paid homage to Mr. Zhong’s grave…”

“Well, it’s not bad… Old Zhong barely made a mistake in choosing this person.”

Fang Xi didn’t care about such a trivial matter and turned around and walked out of Changqing Pavilion.

With a quick sweep of his spiritual sense, he saw that Yan Hongxiu’s expression had changed slightly, which was quite interesting.

…

Half a month later, a beam of light landed in front of the Xuanmu Formation, and Yan Changkong’s figure appeared from it.

He had a graceful posture and with a flick of his long sleeves, a sound transmission note flew out and sank into the formation.

After a while, Fang Xi came out riding a green-horned fish dragon to greet him: “It turns out to be Brother Yan, you are here a little earlier than the agreed purchase date…”

“Well, there is shocking news in Bai Ze Immortal City recently, and I want to share it with Fellow Daoist Fang…”

Yan Changkong smiled and came to Changqing Pavilion with Fang Xi. He drank a sip of spiritual tea and did not keep anyone in suspense: “Master Bai Feng finally showed up!”

Before, there were rumors flying around, saying that this real person had disappeared or passed away.

Now he finally shows up?

“Oh, it seems that there have been quite a few changes in Bai Ze Fairy City…” Fang Xi was not nervous. After all, he was an outsider and it felt like listening to an opera.

“Yes… When Master Bai Feng was seriously injured and disappeared, it turned out that he went to Yuan Country to buy high-level healing elixirs and recuperate…”

Yan Changkong revealed a secret: “This is the news that I got from Xuantian Sect. It first came from Yiling Valley. There is no way it can be wrong!”

“I see.”

Fang Xi nodded repeatedly, and said with some regret: “I didn’t expect that… Immortal Bai Feng had just left, and even after so many years, Bai Ze Immortal City has declined a lot…”

As for how much calculations the Jindan sect had involved, there is no need to mention it.

“Yes… He even hid the news from his trusted disciples. As a result, several of them escaped over the years, and another was killed by a robber cultivator… This Master Baifeng deliberately concealed the news, probably to test him. I didn’t expect this result… Tsk tsk…”

There was a hint of gloating in Yan Changkong’s tone.

“The stability of Bai Ze Immortal City has been restored, and the various sects will also take action to quell the chaos… This wave of chaos is finally over.”

Fang Xi let out a long breath.

With the rich resources of Bai Ze Fairy City, who would want to stay in a remote place?

Not to mention, the original chaos in Wandao Lake was caused by those independent cultivators who came to avoid disaster!
“I would like to congratulate Fellow Daoist Fang…”

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

Yan Changkong cupped his hands, confirming Fang Xi’s guess.

The two chatted for a while, and Yan Changkong talked about purchasing.

The quantity he wanted to purchase this time was huge, including a large number of second-level talismans and small blue dragons, as many as he could get…

Moreover, the price was very generous. After a quick calculation, Fang Xi realized that Yan Changkong did not earn any spirit stones this time. He just ran errands for nothing and even suffered a loss.

“This person…”

Fang Xi looked at Yan Changkong deeply and agreed to the deal.

Obviously, Yan Changkong also came for the Black Wind Evil in his hand.

Although this person did not mention Yan Hongxiu during the conversation, his presence alone made his attitude clear.

Looking at Yan Changkong’s back as he said goodbye, Fang Xi’s eyes flickered:

‘And… he doesn’t even need to say bad things about Zhan Tu. Standing here, he is the best example… a lesson learned from the past when investing in sect disciples and throwing meat buns at dogs!’

“Human nature…is indeed a complicated thing.”

“Why do you think I should give the Black Wind Evil to you? Can’t I just go to Bai Ze Xian City to auction it, or just refine it into a spiritual weapon myself?”

He complained in his heart, but he had already made a decision.

…

A few days later, Fang Xi summoned Zhan Tu directly.

“Meet the Island Master!”

Zhan Tu bowed, his etiquette was impeccable and perfect.

“If we give the Black Wind Evil to this person, the profit may indeed be greater… After all, he has good aptitude and may indeed go further on the path of Taoism…”

“What a pity… am I a person who cares about profit?”

Fang Xi sneered in his heart, but his face did not show it at all: “Zhan Tu, you finally walked out of my Dragon Fish Island. This time, I am willing to lend you 500 spirit stones for building your foundation. As long as you sign a contract and swear to return it with interest, it will be fine.”

For cultivators who have lost hope on the path to enlightenment, perhaps the oath sworn by their inner demons is not taken seriously.

But to display the picture one needs to build a foundation. When making this kind of breakthrough to a great realm, if there is a spiritual gap, the chances of success will inevitably drop greatly!

“Ancestor Fang…”

Zhan Tu wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and just bowed again: “Thank you, Island Master… I am willing to swear a vow to my inner demons!”

“You’re good…”

Seeing that this man was so sensible, Fang Xi gave him some pointers on how to build the foundation, which made Zhan Tu look a little happy. He took the five hundred spirit stones and said goodbye and left.

“Young Master…”

After Zhan Tu left, Fang Xi asked someone to call Yan Hongxiu.

Yan Hongxiu looked at Fang Xi, her eyes full of anxiety.

“You have now completed your Qi training and are about to pass the sixty-year limit. Do you dare to give it a try at foundation building?”

Fang Xi asked with a smile.

“Thank you for your kindness, Island Master. I want to build my foundation!”

Yan Hongxiu immediately knelt down and kowtowed while speaking.

Without the Foundation Establishment Pill, if one uses spiritual objects to establish the foundation but fails, one may die.

Not to mention, Yan Hongxiu is now very close to the age of sixty, and is quite similar to Fang Xi back then.

“In that case, I will give you this bottle of ‘Black Wind Essence’.”

Fang Xi nodded and threw the jade bottle filled with black liquid over: “Remember… when building the foundation, don’t be distracted, focus on it, and liquefy your spiritual power…”

Yan Hongxiu held the jade bottle in her hand, trying to calm herself down and remember every word of Fang Xi’s instructions.

“When building the foundation, the external spiritual pressure also has an impact…”

Fang Xi was a good person and smiled: “When you build your foundation, I will set up a spirit gathering formation for you to make the spiritual energy in the retreat room break through to the lower third level…”

Yan Hongxiu left with red eyes, while Xia Houying walked in with small steps: “Young Master…”

“I have always been very kind to the people around me. If you reach the perfection of Qi Refining, I will also help you build your foundation…”

Fang Xi shook his head: “What a pity…”

Xiahou Ying was saddened when she heard this…
