Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 247

[Chapter 246 Blood Wood Crystal (Congratulations to the Silver Alliance!)]

“The world of immortal cultivation is in turmoil again…”

“Many geniuses are fighting again…”

“I am still quietly planting trees on Dragon Fish Island…”

Fang Xi walked to the fish farm while humming a tune of his own.

“Island Master…”

“The island owner is polite…”

Along the way, many Qi-refining monks saluted in awe on the roadside.

Ever since a large number of Qi-refining families moved away, the Dragon Fish Island is now overpopulated with people and has a small land area. The number of caves available for cultivators to practice has been decreasing. However, Fang Xi has been raising the rental prices all the way, causing a large number of cultivators to start to roll in.

Even raising fish in a fish farm is a great job.

“My Lord, the Island Master…”

Fish farm, lakeside.

Zhong Lu explained with sweat all over his forehead: “I don’t know why… Ling Zun has not eaten much since two days ago…”

He was afraid that Fang Xi would be unhappy and remove him from his position as manager of the fish farm – he didn’t know how many Qi Refining Perfection masters were watching him now.

“Oh? Let me take a look…”

Fang Xi arrived at the lakeside, and his spiritual consciousness sank into the lake. The originally dark bottom of the lake became clearly visible to him.

At the bottom of the lake, there was a green-horned ichthyosaur. The waist of this beast was as thick as a bucket, and it seemed to be fatter than before.

Not only that, Daqing also let out low roars from time to time, and rubbed the scales and leather armor on its body against the reefs at the bottom of the lake, grinding a large number of stones into pieces.

It looked very impatient and seemed to be in a bit of pain.

“Hmm? I didn’t notice it before, but now I realize that your demonic energy has reached the peak of the second-level lower grade? Are you preparing to advance?”

When Fang Xi saw this scene, he seemed to be thinking about something.

Counting the days, it has been seventy or eighty years since Da Qing was promoted to the second-level lower grade. Is he finally going to break through to the second-level middle grade?

It just seems that this breakthrough seems a bit forced.

He thought about it and stroked the storage ring on his finger.

A hazy white light flashed, and a pitch-black box fell into Fang Xi’s hands.

After opening it, there were pieces of crystal stones inside that were blood-red on the outside, but green on the inside, giving off a vibrant atmosphere.

“Bloodwood Crystal!”

Fang Xi murmured the name of this material.

This was the spoils he took out from Ling Lao Mo’s storage bag. It was a top-grade magic material of the second grade.

Not only is it full of blood and energy, but it also contains vibrant vitality.

He had not found any memory of this thing in the memory fragments of Ling Lao Mo. After all, the time for refining the puppet was very short, and Ling Lao Mo’s life was too long.

However, judging from its value, this item should be not much different from a corpse in the late stage of foundation building.

“Should it be the transaction of Zhan Tu… To refine this blood wood crystal, it is not something that any alchemist can do… Could it be that this person’s opportunity is related to the magic way? Or even…”

Fang Xi gradually formed a guess in his mind.

Unfortunately, this blood wood crystal is of little use to him, and cultivators cannot take it, but the monster beasts are strong enough to eat it raw as food for advancement.

Although this approach is somewhat wasteful.

Generally speaking, as a second-level medium-grade monster with matching attributes, this thing is almost enough to help it advance to the second-level upper-grade level.

If the Green-Horned Fish Dragon swallows it, it can only utilize the abundant vitality and blood inside it, and half of the rest of the spiritual power will be wasted.

“But I don’t have any magical beasts… Feeding the demon tree is even more extravagant, after all, it eats everything… Forget it.”

Fang Xinian used the Green-Horned Fish Dragon as his mount, and he rode it tirelessly every time he appeared, so he casually threw the blood wood crystals into the lake.

At the bottom of the lake, Da Qing, who received the divine consciousness, immediately roared and opened his bloody mouth.

A whirlpool seemed to have formed at the bottom of the lake, swallowing up a large amount of lake water, including fish, shrimps, crabs, and even the blood wood crystals.

Half an hour later.

Splash!
A large splash of water exploded on the lake surface, and it was as if a heavy rain had fallen all around.

In the clouds and rain, mist rose, followed by a huge green shadow that flew directly into the clouds.

It was actually the Green-Horned Fish Dragon that had been promoted to a second-level intermediate-grade monster!

At this time, the green-horned ichthyosaur was already about 20 feet long, its waist had become thicker, and even the spiritual pieces on its body had turned from green to dark green. There was a circle of black around its scales, as if some kind of blood mutation had occurred.

The small horns on its head became more protruding, making it look even more majestic.

“I didn’t expect that my spirit beast could catch up with my cultivation level…”

Seeing the presence of the external Qi-refining cultivators, Fang Xi sighed and pretended to have failed even after taking the Chongyuan Pill to break through the barrier.

This is meaningless, it’s just a show of bad taste and a desire to fish.

His body flashed with green light, and he flew dozens of feet, came to the head of the green-horned fish, and shouted, “Go!”

The green-horned fish dragon roared, quite complacently, and carried Fang Xi around the Dragon Fish Island in a circle, as a way to scare off the villains.

…

Not far from Longyu Island.

A blue glow enveloped a ghost fog. Within the ghost fog, there was a monster with a human head and a bird body. Its body was covered with gray-black feathers. Occasionally, large black and red veins could be seen in the sparse areas. It was making a loud cry.

The howl of this human-headed bird is very hoarse and unpleasant, and it even has the ability to shake the soul.

But that layer of azure light continued to cover it downwards, constantly dissipating the ghostly fog surrounding the human-headed bird.

“go!”

Not far away, a beam of light flew over, and a green sword energy flew out from it.

The green sword light sank straight into the gray-black ghost fog and fought with the human-headed bird.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the azure blue light pressed down, completely dissipating the ghost fog.

The human-headed bird screamed and was hit by a blue bowl in the azure light, and its feathers flew all over the sky.

When the green flying sword saw this, the light on it suddenly increased, and it chopped off the head of the human-headed bird with one sword.

This ghost creature, which was comparable to a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, was eventually refined by two streams of light and slowly turned into a large ball of mist before disappearing into nothingness.

“Huh… This Wandao Lake is really full of ghosts. I just went out for a walk and encountered a foundation-building ghost. If I encounter more than one, I will be in great trouble…”

Yan Changkong murmured and took back the blue bowl.

Not long after, a green stream of light approached, and then it faded, revealing Yan Dongqing: “Uncle Changkong… I received your sound transmission note and rushed here immediately. Are you okay?”

“It’s still okay… Alas, after this foundation-building ghost died, it turned into a stream of Yin energy and dissipated… There is nothing left. This battle is really a loss.”

Yan Changkong looked at the slightly damaged bowl spiritual weapon, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

“Ah… who said it wasn’t?”

The middle-aged Yan Dongqing also smiled bitterly. Because of this, if there were no ghosts attacking the island protection formation, he would not bother to take action: “These ghosts gather and disperse invisibly, which is also a trouble… Fortunately, cultivators like us have a plan to deal with it. If Uncle Changkong wants to go out, it is best to wear a “Qi-Gathering Talisman” to cover up your own human aura, or swallow a “Ghost Pill”… This pill can make the breath of cultivators like us have a trace of ghost aura, which can easily be mistaken for the same kind by ghosts with little intelligence, thus avoiding a lot of trouble…”

“So that’s how it is…” Yan Changkong listened carefully. These were the valuable experiences that many cultivators had summed up with their lives.

“By the way, I don’t know why Uncle Changkong came to Wandao Lake this time?”

Yan Dongqing chatted for a few more sentences before asking in confusion.

“This time… ah…”

Yan Changkong smiled bitterly and said, “Do you know that the Baifeng Patriarch of Bai Ze Immortal City is about to pass away?”

“This… I live in a remote corner of Wandao Lake, and most of my energy is spent on dealing with ghost disasters, so I really don’t know.”

Yan Dongqing was startled.

“When Patriarch Baifeng passes away, the original balance will be broken, and there will be a war!”

There was a hint of murderous intent between Yan Changkong’s eyebrows: “Ancestor Bai Feng dared to plot against Ancestor Zhang back then. This grudge…everyone in our Xuantian Sect remembers it!”

“So that’s how it is… Could it be… a conscription order from the upper sect?” Yan Dongqing’s face changed drastically as he thought of something.

Strictly speaking, Wandao Lake is also under the rule of Xuantian Sect. If Xuantian Sect wants to fight a big war, it is natural for it to draw on the cultivators from its affiliated forces.

But over the years, Xuantian Sect has watched the ghost disaster in Wandao Lake and ignored it, and has lost the initiative morally.

If we forcefully recruit them again, it would only arouse the resentment and anger of the local monks.
“Uncle Changkong… my Wandao Lake is in decline, and I have already spent a lot of energy just to deal with the ghost disaster…”

Even Yan Dongqing didn’t want to be drafted into the war.

After all, on a battlefield where only Jindan ancestors can be so violent, a mere early foundation building person might die easily!

“Of course I know this… In fact, our sect has not decided to recruit monks from Wandao Lake.”

Yan Changkong sighed: “This time, I came here on my own initiative. I want to persuade the Dragon Fish Island Master. If he can volunteer to fight, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds? After all, the strength of Wandao Lake is much stronger than before…”

Yan Dongqing was stunned.

To be honest, although the lower-level cultivators in Wandao Lake have died out a lot nowadays, the high-level foundation-building cultivators are not weak at all!

Ruan Xingling and Liu Sanqi have both broken through to the late stage of foundation building! If Fang Xi is included, that’s the top three late stage combat forces of foundation building!

There are also Qingjiao Yulong, Zhong Hongyu, and Yan Dongqing himself, who are also three foundation-building!
Such forces have long surpassed the Dragon Fish and Zhong family, and even the five major sects of Yue Country may not be able to match them!

Well… according to the news, the Grand Elder of Lingjian Sect, Li Rujian, had bad luck and died in the Emerald Island. The influence of Lingjian Sect has weakened a lot.

It is said that You Yuezi, the great elder of the nearby You Yue Sect, was also on the Emerald Island at the time and suffered great damage in his attempt to escape.

It seems that if Wandao Lake is integrated into a new sect, it may be able to surpass the five major sects and other foundation-building families and compete for the throne of the number one sect under Xuantian Sect!

Although… Fang Xi definitely didn’t want to integrate like this. After all, a big tree attracts the wind. If he became the first force under Xuantian Sect, then he would definitely be remembered by Patriarch Zhang all day long…
