Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 234

[Chapter 233 Planning (Subscription Request)]

Dragon Fish Island.

Fang Xi stood on the dock, looking at the departing ship, silent and thoughtful.

He had just seen Yan Hongxiu off.

This woman is already over seventy years old, and her health has not been good since her last failure in building her foundation.

Even as time goes by, the effect of the “Guyan Pill” is gradually fading.

After all, this pill is only a second-level elixir, which can only keep one’s appearance young for a few decades…

In addition, Yan Dongqing, the head of the Yan family, came to visit recently, so Fang Xi went with the flow and agreed to Yan Hongxiu’s request to leave.

This girl wants to return to Lingkong Island to retire, and with her strength in the late stage of Qi Refining, she can also help the family a little.

“It’s a pity… He won’t live long…”

Fang Xi shook his head and withdrew his consciousness.

The servant girl around him, Xiahou Ying, actually had the same problem, but they both had solutions.

“Young Master…”

Fang Xi turned around and saw a young female cultivator with a sweet smile, charming eyes, and eyes that seemed to be able to speak.

“Yanying, when you go back, learn from Xiahou Ying…”

Fang Xi waved his hand. This girl came here with Yan Dongqing and said she wanted to replace Yan Hongxiu’s position.

She was prettier than Yan Hongxiu and seemed to have received special training, which made him very satisfied.

…

Fang Xi felt good to have fun with young people occasionally.

After all, although his body has always been very young, his mind often changes.

Spending more time with young people makes him feel that his heart has become much younger.

“After all, I am already an old man over 140 years old…”

“Well, compared to my long life span, I’m only a teenager…”

In Changqing Pavilion, Fang Xi was wearing clothes and looking at the scenery outside.

Suddenly, he looked toward the north of Wandao Lake, his eyebrows slightly raised.

…

A few days later, an explosive news spread in Wandao Lake.

Ancient ruins were discovered in the northern area of Wandao Lake!
Because the appearance of the ruins was so loud, even Liu Sanqi couldn’t cover it up, resulting in a large number of cultivators discovering it, and then the news swept in all directions like a wave!

It even spread to Yue State in a short time and then to Bai Ze Fairy City, Mu State and Wu State.

For independent cultivators, exploring the ancient secret realm is a journey of both opportunities and risks. Many cultivators flocked to the area, causing Wandao Lake, which had just been calm for a short time, to become turbulent again.

Inside Changqing Pavilion.

Fang Xi sat in the main seat, with Ruan Xingling and Zhong Hongyu next to him, listening to Liu Sanqi telling about his own experience.

“In that case…”

Ruan Xingling held a glass of green bamboo wine in her hand and asked, “Then the restrictions on the Emerald Island are such that even a fellow Daoist in the middle stage of foundation building cannot break in?”

Emerald Island is the name given by the monks to the island where the ruins are located.

It got its name because its forbidden spiritual light is green and looks like a huge piece of jade from a distance.

“That’s right…”

Liu Sanqi still had some lingering fear on his face. “But even after searching the outermost area, I found several kinds of rare spiritual herbs, which shows how rich the resources are in the ruins of the Emerald Island… According to my observation, as time goes by, those originally broken restrictions will lose the power to restrict us from entering, and the ruins will eventually be opened…”

“Wandao Lake has become troubled…”

Fang Xi sighed.

The four great foundation-building masters present here could originally call the shots in Wandao Lake, but when the news of the ruins spread, there might be foundation-building masters from neighboring countries coming to explore the secrets, which really made things muddy.

“Fellow Daoist Fang, Fellow Daoist Ruan, Fellow Daoist Zhong… I have some experience in identifying and finding spiritual medicines. Would you like to meet up with me?”

Liu Sanqi extended an invitation.

Although he had reached the middle stage of foundation building, he was not as good as Ruan Xingling in terms of magical powers. Naturally, he was afraid of the ruins and other dangers. That was why he made the proposal, mainly because he wanted to pull in Fang Xi, the number one cultivator in Wandao Lake!

After all, this person was able to defeat the late foundation building last time, and his magical powers are well-known in Yue State, which can avoid many dangers.

The most dangerous thing when exploring the ruins, besides the forbidden traps, are other monks!

“Exploring the mysteries?”

Fang Xi thought about it and realized that he had never tried exploring ancient ruins before.

pity……

He shook his head: “I have no interest in the ruins…”

“What?” Liu Sanqi was very surprised. “We independent cultivators have no resources and our cultivation is stuck at a bottleneck. Now is a godsend opportunity… Emerald Island happens to be in Wandao Lake. If we join forces to explore, we can take advantage of the geographical advantage! Who knows… there may be spiritual objects among them that are suitable for us to break through our cultivation or even form a pill!”

“I want to, too… but unfortunately I can’t go.”

“Besides… even if there is a Five Elements Fruit Tree among them, it is not as important to me as my own safety…”

“On Dragon Fish Island, relying on the Nine Nether Mysterious Wood Formation, I am not afraid even if a Jindan attacks me. I can practice peacefully and steadily until I reach Jindan. Why would I run out and take risks?”

Fang Xi’s expression straightened up: “I am a person who is devoted to hard training, and I disdain to use external objects to break through the bottleneck…”

In fact, when he first tried to break through the bottleneck of the late foundation building stage, if he had an auxiliary pill, he might have broken through earlier.

Liu Sanqi looked at Fang Xi, his lips moving, but in the end he couldn’t say anything.

He doesn’t even need elixirs to help him break through the realm, so the ancient ruins really have no appeal to him at all.

“However, although I am not going, Hongyu, you and Fairy Ruan can go together to try your luck…”

Fang Xi sighed.

After refining the Yimu Dharmakaya, he was very confident that he could form a pill, but Ruan Xingling and Zhong Hongyu did not have this opportunity.

If I don’t take this opportunity to try my luck in the ancient ruins, I’m afraid there will be no hope of forming an elixir in this lifetime!

Even without him saying anything, Ruan Xingling should have been moved a long time ago.

“Besides that…Wandao Lake may be even more dangerous this time than last time.”

Fang Xi made his own judgment.

Last time, it was just an incident in Bai Ze Fairy City, and some independent cultivators came here to seek refuge. The highest level of cultivation was only at Chong Ruhu’s level.

But this time, the appearance of the ancient ruins is completely different!
Strong men in the late stage of foundation building and even perfect foundation building will appear!
Even if the Jindan ancestor is hiding on the side, it is not impossible!

The danger suddenly increased!
“This matter is indeed very worrying…” Ruan Xingling’s expression suddenly became serious.

The last time a secret realm appeared in Yue State was the “Purple Nether Mountain Secret Realm” a hundred years ago!
After that, the nearby Situ family and Red Leaf Valley were wiped out!
No matter how many calculations there were afterwards, there were always some factors of innocent people being guilty of possessing a treasure.

“Not really…”

Zhong Hongyu murmured, “As long as there is no chance of forming a pill, it shouldn’t attract too many foundation-building masters…”

When Liu Sanqi heard this, his expression changed.

It seems that he, who had personally experienced it, suspected that the specifications of this secret realm were even higher than the one in Ziyou Mountain Secret Realm, and that it had the potential to attract the arrival of the Jindan Ancestor!
“Then what should we do?”

Ruan Xingling looked at Fang Xi.

“You three can form a team, help each other… and move some of your relatives and disciples to Dragon Fish Island.”

Fang Xi smiled and said, “I’m not going to the secret realm anyway, so I can just stay here to look after you guys and make sure you have no worries… Besides that, why not start a business?”

“What business?” Liu Sanqi asked curiously.

“In the future, many cultivators will gather in Wandao Lake, including many mid- and high-level cultivators. They will need caves, spiritual rice, and talismans and magic tools consumed in exploring ruins… They all need to be replenished nearby, and there is a lack of a place for trade. After all, the Treasure Ship Market only has a first-level spiritual vein, and it is too far away…”

Fang Xi smiled slightly: “Why not reopen the Lingkong Island Market? By then, renting caves alone should be a big business!”

Gold diggers may not make money, but the various service industries around the gold mines will definitely make a lot of money!
I believe the Yan family will fully support this matter.

“This… is very promising.”

Ruan Xingling’s eyes lit up.

Compared to fighting to the death in the ruins, opening a market is much safer, and you can also earn spirit stones by the way.

“I can provide a set of second-grade superior formations and take 30% of the shares. Fairy Ruan, Fellow Daoist Liu, and Fairy Zhong will each take 20%, and the remaining 10% will be given to the Yan family…”

Fang Xi made his proposal: “Usually, we only need one person who has built his foundation to guard the market… Of course, I won’t be there when I leave the formation.”

“This matter… is quite feasible, and the Yan family will certainly agree to it.” Liu Sanqi thought about it and found that this plan was quite good.

Taking advantage of the popularity of the Emerald Island Ruins, there must be a lot of people coming to the market, and you can earn a lot of spirit stones!

What’s more… some independent cultivators may be lucky enough to obtain treasures without even realizing it, and sell them cheaply in the market.

These are all opportunities for these behind-the-scenes managers!

In fact, in terms of safety and abundant spiritual energy, the major spiritual islands for foundation-building practice are of course more suitable.

However, Fang Xi, like several others, did not want their home to be frequently visited.

Moreover, Lingkong Island was able to be used as a market town in the past, so it was naturally very suitable in terms of geographical location.

So it was settled.

A few days later, Yan Dongqing, who had been here once before, came to Longyu Island again with a strange look on his face. Seeing that the four foundation-building masters had agreed to the plan of opening the market town, he naturally nodded repeatedly and guaranteed that the Yan family would give its full support.

Fang Xi already knew that this person was a smart man. If he gave him 10% of the shares, it would be more than enough for him to be the manager of the market town.

He took out a set of ‘Six Mysterious Turtle Armor Formation’ from the warehouse and handed it to Ruan Xingling.

This formation is ranked as a top-grade second-class formation, and it comes from the Song family’s formation inheritance. It has water attributes and is arranged on the second-class spiritual vein of Lingkong Island. With a foundation-building master in charge, it should be enough to deal with normal situations.

Of course, now that many cultivators have gathered together, there are probably quite a few Tribulation Cultivators, and they are more likely to possess a second-order forbidden-breaking talisman.

But Fang Xi had already made an agreement with the three foundation-building masters that if things were impossible, they could just abandon the market and run away.

Ruan Xingling and Liu Sanqi are both in the middle stage of foundation building, so it’s not a big problem.

The only person to worry about is Zhong Hongyu, Fang Xi’s subordinate.

After all, this woman had just established her foundation, her magic power was not yet deep, and she had never practiced any powerful spells.

However, with the help of several second-level talismans given by Fang Xi, combined with the “Flash in the Air” technique, saving his life should not be a problem.
