Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 255

[Chapter 254: Surrender (Congratulations to the leader who paid off his debt for reading books!)]

“There are traces of late-stage foundation-building ghost cultivators outside Maple Leaf Island and Golden Turtle Island?”

“The reinforcements from Lingkong Island were ambushed?”

On Dragon Fish Island, Fang Xi shook his head as he looked at the latest news. “It’s just as I expected… Not all ghost cultivators are completely insane. They all use tricks now.”

However, having wisdom means being able to weigh the pros and cons.

Now that he sees that his side has the third-order talisman as a foundation, he should be able to keep quiet for a while.

Moreover, this is also the news released to the outside world.

Fang Xi stood on the top of Changqing Pavilion, looking at the bustling Dragon Fish Island, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

If someone said that there were no spies from the Xuantian Sect and other forces on his island at this time, he would not believe it at all.

However, it was a good opportunity to release the news that he had become a third-level talisman master.

It can also show value and attract people to it instead of being hostile.

‘The status of a third-level talisman master in the world of immortal cultivation is roughly not inferior to that of a fake elixir master, but a third-level alchemist or weapon refiner is probably comparable to a golden elixir master… If it is a third-level formation master, the status should be higher than that of an ordinary early stage Jindan cultivator.’

“If I reveal my identity as a third-level formation master, it would be truly earth-shattering…”

“Now it’s only the third-level talisman technique, so it’s not a big problem…”

In fact, Fang Xi believed that his attainments in talismans were only at the quasi-third level, and that only if the treasure pattern was strong enough could the talismans he made have third-level power.

However, outsiders don’t know…

Therefore, it is not wrong to regard him as a third-level talisman master.

…

Several months later, a beam of light quietly arrived outside Longyu Island. Looking at the mist emitted by the Xuanmu Array, a solemn look appeared on his face.

“I never thought… a dragon could appear in shallow water, and it actually made this person famous.”

The escaping light faded, and a man emerged from it. He was an old Taoist in a black robe with a thin and shriveled face.

The old Taoist had a goatee, small eyes, and half black and half white hair tied up in a casual Taoist bun. His facial features looked quite shrewd.

He observed for a while before taking out a sound transmission note from his sleeve and flying into the formation.

Before long, a passage with glittering light formed in the mist, and a monk in green riding a dragon came over, laughing heartily: “How could Fang Xi have such merit and ability to have the Xuantian Sect’s leader personally visit him?!”

“Master Fang, I am Xuanxuanzi, and I am honored to meet you!”

Taoist Xuanxuanzi bowed his head.

“How come I remember that the head of Xuantian Sect seemed to…”

A hint of hesitation appeared on Fang Xi’s face.

“Senior Brother Qiao was besieged by the Qingmu Sect and the demon cultivators before, and unfortunately died… I will temporarily take over the position of the head of the sect.”

Xuan Xuan Zi took out a seal with great care: “If you have any questions, please look at this!”

When Fang Xi released his spiritual consciousness, he saw that the seal was shaped like a small mountain, with two ancient seal characters “Xuan Tian” engraved on it. There was a glow on the surface, and it looked like a rare treasure.

“Sure enough… Since the Xuantian Seal is in the hands of Daoist Fellow Xuanxuanzi, there is no need to doubt Daoist Fellow’s identity.”

Fang Xi smiled, as if he knew a lot about the seal.

In fact, this is true. The token of the Xuantian Sect’s leader is naturally extraordinary. With this seal, he can mobilize the foundation-building forces of any party in the Yue Kingdom!

He made a gesture of invitation and flew into the formation first.

Xuan Xuanzi took the seal of the strange treasure and followed him into the mist, saying in amazement: “My old Taoist is short-sighted… This should be a second-level upper-grade ‘Xuanmu Great Array’, and some changes have been made. Could it be that fellow Taoist is also a second-level upper-grade array master?”

“It was just a friend who helped me change it…”

Fang Xi gave a vague reply, brought Xuan Xuanzi to Changqing Pavilion, dismissed all the maids, and then the host and guest sat down.

“I wonder why the master is here?” Fang Xi took a sip of the spiritual tea and asked the question even though he knew the answer.

“Alas… I heard from Junior Brother Kuang that there were some misunderstandings with the island owner last time, so I came here to resolve them… I have heard of the fame of Dragon Fish Island for a long time, but I have never visited it. I am sorry for not being polite…”

Although Xuan Xuanzi is the head of a Jindan sect, he does not have a strong personality and treats people with a warm and gentle manner.

“No, no, it was just a small misunderstanding last time…”

Fang Xi echoed a few words, and then the two of them tacitly stopped talking about Yuan Feihong.

“Alas… my Senior Brother Qiao died such a tragic death…”

Xuan Xuanzi tasted a spiritual fruit and was filled with righteous indignation: “The Qingmu Sect actually colluded with the demon cultivators to kill the leader of my Xuantian Sect. This feud is irreconcilable!”

“Even your leader was ambushed and killed…it seems that you are indeed at a disadvantage in the war.”

Fang Xi complained in his mind but said nothing more, waiting quietly for Xuan Xuanzi’s next words.

“Island Master, are you willing to join my Xuantian Sect?”

Xuan Xuanzi valued practical benefits over fame, and still wanted to win over Fang Xi. After all, this time there were several late-stage foundation-building fighters, which would have a certain effect on saving the battle situation, and could even determine the outcome of a certain battle zone!
Without waiting for Fang Xi to answer, Xuan Xuanzi said, “There are countless skills and secret techniques hidden in my Xuantian Sect, as well as various rare resources… You can even get personal guidance from Patriarch Zhang! It will also be beneficial for forming a pill.”

“oh?”

Fang Xi’s eyes lit up, and he seemed to be interested.

But in fact, he has everything he needs and does not need help from others. He will never leave Dragon Fish Island. He just wants to stay on the island until he forms a pill.

However, he also knew that ordinary foundation-building cultivators might not be able to resist Xuan Xuanzi’s temptation.

After all, there are not many people who have achieved Dan in the entire Three Kingdoms cultivation world. If one can get some pointers on Dan from Patriarch Zhang, even cultivators who have completed the foundation building would be tempted.

Fang Xi’s eyes sparkled, and he suddenly asked, “If I lead the Dragon Fish Island cultivators to join Xuantian Sect, will there be any spiritual objects for forming a pill?”

“this……”

No matter how well-mannered Xuan Xuanzi was, he almost burst into cursing.

How precious is the Jindan spiritual object?

If Xuantian Sect really had this item, they would definitely give it to their own people first. How could they give it to outsiders?
“Fellow Daoist, don’t you know how precious Jindan spiritual items are? Even our sect doesn’t have it… But it’s not impossible to have a Jindan experience…”

Xuan Xuanzi calmed down several times, and finally suppressed his anger and answered calmly.

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

“Is it just the experience of forming a pill? Sigh… It seems that it is really difficult for me to form a pill in this lifetime…”

Fang Xi sighed, looking quite regretful: “I am already over 160 years old. I just want to spend my old age in peace and don’t want to fight anymore. I hope Fellow Daoist Xuanxuanzi will forgive me…”

“That’s all. Daoist friend, you were able to resist the ghost cultivators in Wandao Lake and also helped Xuantian Sect guard the northern border.”

Xuan Xuanzi saw that the first goal he had come for today was really impossible to achieve, so he could only settle for the next best thing: “I heard from you that… a Taoist friend on the island had established his foundation before, and even cast a third-level talisman? As far as I know, there doesn’t seem to be a third-level talisman master in Yue State now… and there are no third-level spiritual talismans circulating. Could it be you, Taoist friend?”

“Yes, I made it myself.”

Fang Xi admitted it frankly: “Why? Fellow Daoist Xuanxuanzi also wants to purchase a few? That’s not a problem…”

He revealed the news just for this matter.

Unfortunately, the third-level talisman is too precious, and in the entire Yue Kingdom, only the Xuantian Sect can buy it.

“Well… our sect is currently at war with the Qingmu Sect, so the more high-level talismans the better. I wonder how much they cost?”

Xuan Xuanzi took a deep breath and asked the most crucial part.

“When any treasure reaches a high level, its price will soar several times or even dozens of times…”

Fang Xi pursed his lips and said, “How about this… Daoist friend, you can use third-level spiritual wood or high-quality spiritual stones to offset the price…”

“this……”

Xuan Xuanzi fell into deep thought. It was easy to understand why the other party wanted third-level spiritual wood, after all, it was the main material for making third-level talisman paper.

But what about top-grade spiritual stones?
“Top-grade spiritual stones are extremely rare in the mines. Only a few can be mined in ten years. They have always been in the hands of our sect’s ancestor Zhang… It would be quite troublesome to trade them.”

Xuan Xuanzi looked troubled: “For foundation-building cultivators like us, mid-grade spirit stones are enough for daily needs, right?”

“I want high-quality spirit stones, and they will naturally be useful to me… If you can’t agree to this, I can only regretfully refuse this deal.”

Fang Xi shook his head.

He wanted the top-grade spirit stone, naturally for his own sake.

Whether you are studying the third-order formation in the future or breaking through to the Jindan stage, absorbing the large amount of pure spiritual energy to assist in the breakthrough is a very good choice.

“This… I can only consider it a little. Besides, the price of high-grade spirit stones is extremely rare, often more than 10,000 low-grade spirit stones…”

Xuan Xuanzi expressed many concerns, but he actually had one purpose, which was to test how many third-level talismans Fang Xi had stored and how many he could ship in the future.

“Third-level talismans are extremely rare. Even if I have enough talisman paper, I can hardly refine one in a month… I can only sell them as precious talismans with some second-level high-quality talismans… As for the price of high-quality spirit stones, I can just make up the difference with low-quality spirit stones.”

Fang Xi waved his hand as if he had no shortage of money.

When he was at the ruins of Emerald Island before, he had earned a lot of spirit stones through the Lingkong Island market. Most of them were of low quality and needed to be exchanged.

In addition, Yuan Feihong also offered a large amount of spiritual materials in order to settle on Longyu Island, some of which should have been accumulated by Bai Ze Fairy City for hundreds of years. The spiritual stones alone were not a small number.

“Alas…it seems that this person must have a high-quality spirit stone.”

“If our sect wasn’t struggling, why would we bow down to this man?”

“Please be patient for now. After the Aoki Sect retreats, there will come a day sooner or later…”

Xuan Xuanzi’s mind was in turmoil, and then he smiled and made a rough purchase contract with Fang Xi.

It was also agreed that Xuantian Sect would send people to Longyu Island to trade in the future.

“I heard…” At the end, Xuan Xuanzi’s heart moved and he said, “Daoyou hasn’t left Longyu Island for nearly a hundred years?”

“Yeah… I need to preside over the formation on the island, which is quite troublesome.”

Fang Xi answered without any strange expression on his face.

“This person… must be a hidden formation master! In this formation, no one can take him down except for Patriarch Zhang. The situation is truly irreversible!”

After hearing this, Xuan Xuanzi couldn’t help but feel awe-struck…
