Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 239
[Chapter 238: Kung Fu (Congratulations to the Silver Alliance!)]
A few months later, under the demon tree.
Fang Xi silently withdrew his hand.
“The refining of the Black Wood Seal… and the addition of the Mysterious Power Pattern of Withered Flourishing Light… went too smoothly…”
Although Fang Xi thought that with the help of the ‘Yi Mu Dharma Body’, he could also refine the ‘Ku Rong Xuan Guang’ even without changing his cultivation method, but the process of transforming the magic weapon Black Wood Seal was still too smooth, making him almost think that he was in some kind of illusion.
It was not until today that it was finally confirmed.
“Is this a kind of treasure formula that is universal to wood-type magic weapons?”
“Or is it because of… the demon tree and the immortality technique?”
According to the information obtained before, the ‘Art of Immortality’ is suspected to have come from the ‘Nine Leaves Sect’, so it seems understandable that it has some similarities with the skills and magical powers of the ‘Art of Withering and Flourishing’.
“Anyway, this is a good thing.”
Fang Xi walked out of the forbidden area of the Demon Tree and came to Changqing Pavilion.
“Young Master…”
Yan Ying, Xiahou Xin, Tai Shuhong, and Zhong Lu had all been waiting there for a long time and bowed.
“Tomorrow Changqing Pavilion will hold a small trade fair. I will temporarily adjust the formation. You all stay in your caves and don’t go out…”
Fang Xi gave a few instructions, emphasizing: “I mean… no matter what noise you hear, don’t go out, do you understand?”
“Sir, I understand.”
Yan Ying swallowed her saliva. For some reason, she felt the atmosphere was a little tense.
After everyone left, Fang Xi nodded and took out a black battle flag.
The magic power of the ‘Qingmu Changsheng Gong’ poured in, and the small formation flag spun around and turned into a huge flagpole, which was waved by Fang Xi to change the layout of the Xuanmu formation.
A thick layer of gray fog came from nowhere, covering Changqing Pavilion, and secret doors and passages appeared one after another, making it seem like a maze.
“The one-time wooden talisman I sent out earlier can pass through the outermost part of the formation, but it can’t move around. I can only come to Changqing Pavilion…”
“With these arrangements, it should be about the same.”
After doing all this, Fang Xi leaped forward and turned into a long green rainbow. He came to the highest point of Changqing Pavilion, sat on the main seat, and waited silently.
A few hours later, Ruan Xingling came to the hall without wearing a mask or any other cover. She saw a row of chairs and Fang Xi in the middle. She smiled brightly, sat next to him, and also began to close her eyes and rest.
…
The day passed quickly.
One after another, obscure rays of light emerged, each with an astonishing speed. They were the cultivators who were building their foundation.
Some of them were covered in a layer of fluorescent light or black mist to hide their identities, while others were open and unconcealed, holding talismans and walking into the Xuanmu formation.
Da da!
The sound of footsteps made Fang Xi open his eyes.
Then, he saw Ouyang Zhen, who was dressed in a purple robe and had a dignified appearance.
Behind Ouyang Zhen was Yuan Feihong.
This time, two people actually came to Bai Ze Fairy City.
“Fellow Daoist Ouyang, please take a seat!”
As a local landlord, Fang Xi immediately stood up to greet him: “Come and try the Yunlong tea, a specialty of our island…”
“Thank you!”
Ouyang Zhen sat down, took a sip of the spiritual tea, and looked at Fang Xi who was greeting Yuan Feihong, a complex look flashed in his eyes.
He had never thought that the casual cultivator who had just established his foundation at the age of nearly sixty, who he considered hopeless and who might even have great difficulty breaking through the middle stage of foundation building, could reach this point!
Today, Fang Xi is known as the number one cultivator in Wandao Lake. With the cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building, he can defeat a sword cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.
This made Ouyang Zhen feel a little embarrassed.
However, his cultivation has now progressed a step further and he has already become a cultivator who has completed the foundation building.
In addition, he is in charge of the third-rank magic weapon ‘Kui Niu Drum’, and is definitely one of the most powerful foundation-building cultivators, so he is naturally confident.
Sitting quietly at this time, one feels as if one is unmoved by any wind.
The light of the formation flickered one after another, and from time to time, one or two fellow foundation-building practitioners would walk into Changqing Pavilion from the passage formed by the restrictions.
Liu Sanqi was naturally among them, chatting enthusiastically with Yan Changkong.
In addition, there were several figures who covered their bodies with long robes, making it difficult to distinguish whether they were men or women.
Fang Xi showed no sign of anger and politely invited everyone to take a seat.
Half a day later, all twenty seats were occupied, with no one absent.
However, most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators who came to trade concealed their identities. Only he, the landlord, and a few others who were quite confident, or those like Yan Changkong who had the support of a Jindan sect, dared to come openly.
“Welcome to Dragon Fish Island. It is my great honor as the island owner…”
After everyone arrived, Fang Xi stood up and said a few opening remarks.
“Stop talking nonsense… I came here just for the second-level forbidden-breaking talisman. I hope you won’t disappoint us fellow practitioners. Otherwise, hehe…”
A foundation-building cultivator wearing a black and red robe and surrounded by a black aura spoke.
“Of course…” Fang Xi smiled, and with the help of the third-level ‘Nine Nether Mysterious Wood Formation’, he immediately saw through the man’s background: ‘So it’s Li Rujian, why are you pretending to be a demon cultivator? Only you dare to say this, take off your mask, and I’ll see if you dare to threaten me like this in person… I can’t kill you!’
“If you want to refine a second-level forbidden-breaking talisman, you must have a deep attainment in both the way of talismans and the way of formations… I really admire Island Master Fang.”
Another woman in a green skirt smiled and spoke. She had a graceful figure and a soft voice, but her face was covered with a dreamy mist: “Master Fang… I wonder if you are willing to go to Emerald Island with me? I can let you choose the spoils first… If you want them now, I can at most give myself to you first…”
“This fairy is joking. I have no ambitions and will never leave my nest to go to such a dangerous place.”
Fang Xi smiled. This woman was one of the few people whom he could hardly understand.
Those who he cannot see through are either cultivators who have completed the foundation building, or are particularly good at hiding or have some rare treasure, so he has to be careful.
“This woman… gives people a strange feeling. If you hadn’t fully activated the power of the formation and forcibly broken through the disguise, you would have been easily discovered. I would have taken a closer look at your strength…”
Fang Xi complained in his heart.
He checked the background of these people, naturally using the most covert method, without allowing any clues to be caught.
Otherwise, not to mention holding an exchange meet, your reputation will immediately become bad, and you will become the mortal enemy of all those who are hiding present!
Although… Fang Xi doesn’t really care.
He clapped his hands and continued, “The rules of the exchange are that I start with myself, and everyone takes turns to go on stage. You can only sell or request one item, and then repeat it over and over again… If everything is sold out in the end, or if there are still regrets, you can exchange items on your own.”
“If you two need to communicate in private, you can also tell me so that I can use the formation to create a private space for you two.”
The rules are simple, and that’s how most private exchanges work.

As the host, Fang Xi was naturally the first to go on stage. Otherwise, why would he go through so much trouble?
“Then… I will start by throwing out some ideas.”
Fang Xi took out a translucent jade bottle, which contained a scarlet pill with three golden patterns on its surface: “One Chongyuan Pill can help a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building to break through the bottleneck of the late stage…”
“I wonder what the price is?”
A black-robed foundation-building cultivator looked at the pill with longing in his eyes.
He has been stuck in the bottleneck of the middle stage of foundation building for a long time.
In fact, among the foundation-building cultivators in the Three Kingdoms, those in the early stage of foundation-building are the majority, while those in the late stage of foundation-building and those who have achieved perfection are very rare, and each of them is well-known.
“Not selling, only exchanging…”
Fang Xi smiled and said, “There are already quite a few techniques produced in the secret realm of Emerald Island… I want to change to a wood-based technique that can be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage.”
“Nascent Soul? Island Master Fang is really ambitious… We would be lucky if we can achieve Dan in our lifetime.”
An old woman let out a hoarse laugh.
“I have a top-level technique that can be cultivated to the Jindan stage. The rest can be paid in spirit stones… How do you think?”
The black-robed foundation-building cultivator who had spoken earlier immediately spoke.
Fang Xi listened but said nothing and continued looking at everyone present.
“Hehe… I have a technique that can be used to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage!”
The woman in the green skirt with a soft voice chuckled and suddenly spoke, throwing out a jade slip: “This is the Qi refining and foundation building part of the technique. Daoist friends, you can take a look to see if it is real…”
Fang Xi took it, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and his expression became a little strange.
Because he was very familiar with the contents of this jade slip!
Not only was she very familiar with it, she had also practiced it herself. It turned out to be the ‘Qingmu Changsheng Gong’!
‘Could this woman be from the Qingmu Sect of Mu Country? After all, the Wanfa Pavilion said that the Gongfa I practiced came from Mu Country…’
Fang Xi felt that he had achieved something by accident.
“It is indeed a wood-type technique… it is barely enough…”
He glanced around and said loudly: “If no other Taoist friends offer, then we will exchange it like this…”
“etc!”
Ouyang Zhen glanced at Yuan Feihong and said with a smile: “I also have a wood-based technique in my hand, and it is even a top-level ancient technique. I found it in the ruins. You may want to read it.”
He waved his hand, and a jade slip also flew out.
Fang Xi took it and looked at it, and was impressed. It was indeed the “Art of Withering and Flourishing”.
“My martial arts is a top-level wood-based martial arts. Is there any need to say which is better?”
Ouyang Zhen smiled complacently.
He wanted to auction the Chongyuan Pill, naturally it was for Yuan Feihong to break through to the late stage of foundation building.
This thirty-year-old young man had worked hard during the chaos in Bai Ze Fairy City and was even injured in a fight. Without the help of the elixir, it would have been difficult for him to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building.
Moreover, there is also the intention of making friends with Fang Xi.
Now that the power of the Immortal City is declining, even he, Ouyang, the Great Boss, has to humble himself and make up for his past mistakes.
“Hehe… I wonder, Master Ouyang, to what level can you cultivate your skills?”
The woman in the green skirt smiled confidently and asked.
Ouyang Zhen was startled, then replied: “This technique has seventeen levels, and can be practiced all the way to the early Nascent Soul stage.”
“Unfortunately, the skills I have can be cultivated to the eighteenth level, entering the middle stage of the Nascent Soul…”
The woman in the skirt asked with a smile: “Fang Daoist Friend…I wonder what your choice will be?”
“This…”
Fang Xi thought for a moment and looked at Ouyang Zhen: “It is a stroke of luck that I can form a pill in this lifetime. I can only dream about forming a Nascent Soul. If I need a technique, I can only refer to one or two… Naturally, I will choose a top-level technique.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Ouyang Zhen’s face flashed with joy, and the woman in the green skirt did not continue to fight for it. Instead, she looked at Fang Xi with interest, her beautiful eyes flickering, and I don’t know what she was thinking…
