Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 267

[Chapter 266: Treasure Hunt (Congratulations to the Silver Alliance!)]

It’s another sunny day.

Zhong Hongyu raised her head and looked at the sun, her eyes somewhat bewildered: “A third-level formation that can move the void can actually reach this point?”

Although they can clearly see the sun, the moon and the stars, they are unable to go out. No matter whether they look up, around, or even underground, once they leave the range of Dragon Fish Island, they will encounter a layer of ‘barrier’ that is difficult to cross.

She also knew that in the eyes of the immortal cultivators in the outside world, the entire Dragon Fish Island was covered by a huge black bowl.

This method of transformation of void is simply unbelievable.

“If you can comprehend it thoroughly, you will be a third-level formation master…”

A beam of light landed beside Zhong Hongyu. It was Tai Shuhong. He looked much more mature and calm. “Today is the ‘Treasure Hunting Conference’. Aren’t those many Qi Refining cultivators waiting here for ten years just for this?”

“yes……”

Zhong Hongyu murmured, “I don’t know what happened to the island owner…”

After closing Dragon Fish Island, Fang Xi showed up occasionally for a while, and then he went into seclusion. Even maids like Yan Ying had difficulty knowing his situation.

He even handed over all the affairs on the island to the three foundation-building masters, and was too lazy to even host the “Treasure Hunting Conference” that had been scheduled long ago.

The two of them landed in a place, only to see that a high platform had already been built there, with many cultivators surrounding it. Several low-level formation masters were holding formation flags and plates, reinforcing the platform to prevent innocent people from being hurt in the aftermath of future fighting.

When the sun gradually reached the middle of the sky, an even more powerful beam of light flew over and landed in mid-air.

The fluctuation of mana unique to the late stage of foundation building instantly swept across the entire place.

“Hong Keqing’s magical power is almost complete, right?”

Tai Shuhong stepped forward and greeted with a smile.

“No, no… I’m only at the eighth level of foundation building…”

Yuan Feihong waved his hand, appearing very modest.

He was practicing the new method, which had nine levels of foundation building, but in fact it was not much different from the realm of the old method.

After the foundation is established, the realm is still divided according to the amount of liquid mana, but it is more detailed.

“If I continue to work hard for a few more years… I will probably be able to break through to the ninth level of foundation building, right?”

Yuan Feihong pondered secretly.

He practiced a top-level technique. When his foundation was fully established, the amount of liquid mana he needed was more than three hundred drops. The time and spiritual energy required were also more than those of a cultivator who practiced ordinary techniques to establish his foundation!

It is said that some common skills which are famous for being easy to cultivate mana, even when the foundation is perfected, the liquid mana may not even reach 250 drops. Even with the foundation perfected, Yuan Feihong is not too afraid at this time, and is even confident that he can win the battle.

“Has Guest Hong collected that evil spirit?”

However, Zhong Hongyu asked another key question.

Fang Xi originally gave the responsibility of guarding the Disha Lake and collecting the black wind evil spirit to Yuan Feihong, and she was secretly depressed for a long time.

She always felt that the island owner didn’t seem to trust her, of course… this was just an illusion.

“Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission!”

Yuan Feihong smiled slightly, flicked his sleeves, and a stream of magic power carrying a white jade bottle slowly flew to the middle of the three foundation-building monks.

There is a layer of ink-black liquid in the white jade bottle, which is actually the essence of the black wind evil spirit!

After being refined by the magic power of the foundation-building monks, it becomes purer and has better effects.

When the Qi-refining monks below saw this thing, their eyes lit up.

“Foundation-building spiritual object!”

“The foundation-building spiritual object must be mine!”

“Haha, what do you think of the geniuses of the Zhong family and the three families above? There are great masters of foundation building behind these two families… As long as they give us some pointers or bestow some powerful magic tools, how can we have a chance?”

“I don’t believe that the conference won’t make some regulations on this… After all, there is also Hong Keqing, who is a great master in the late stage of foundation building! He is one of our independent cultivators!”

…

“There are so many people…”

Long Qin, the girl from the Long family who had fled with her family, looked at the immortal cultivators around her with a hint of curiosity on her face: “Could it be that… all the Qi-refining cultivators from the entire Dragon Fish Island are here?”

“After all, we are competing for the opportunity to build our foundation…”

Long Feng was dressed in tight clothes, with a hint of murderous aura.

His cultivation has reached about the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he is considered a master among many Qi Refining practitioners.

“Brother Feng… don’t force yourself… Although swallowing the ‘Fierce Wind Pill’ is beneficial for breakthroughs, it will also cause an unstable foundation and may pose hidden dangers.”

Long Qin said worriedly.

She and her cousin Feng led a group of Long family members to settle on Longyu Island. At the beginning, they were carefree.

Although there was a chaos of war among the three kingdoms in the outside world, Dragon Fish Island was like a paradise and had always been peaceful.

Until that night…

The words of Jindan Zhenren were like thunder, making her vomit blood.

At that time, she and Long Feng almost thought that everyone would die here.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long before an even more shocking news spread—Yiling Valley’s Grand Elder You Kun was killed in battle!

Dragon Fish Island immediately fell into a strange silence, and then many independent cultivators became crazy and wanted to join the Dragon Fish Island Lord’s army.

This is also the decision made by cousin Feng.

Long before he participated in the treasure hunt, he said to Long Qin: “There are many hidden talents in the treasure hunt, and there may be masters who have reached the great perfection of Qi training. I don’t seek to win the championship, I just want to perform brilliantly, enter the island to build the foundation, or even the Eye of the Dragon Fish Ancestor, that’s enough…”

For this reason, Long Feng swallowed the “Fierce Wind Pill” and forcibly broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, which even damaged some of his meridians.

“Now is the time to fight!”

Long Feng shook his head: “You also know the situation of the clan. Although we survived the war by chance, the ancestor who established the foundation died in the battle… The situation is really not good… If I can perform well, not to mention winning the spiritual objects for establishing the foundation, even if I can truly join Longyu Island, it will be very beneficial to the family… After all, the owner of Longyu Island is a big shot comparable to a Jindan!”

‘Perhaps… this old ancestor is about to form a pill!’

Long Feng added another sentence in his mind.

“Huh?”

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

At this time, Long Qin’s eyes turned and saw another person with honest features. He waved his hand and said, “Brother Daniu!”

“Hmm? So they are the Long family brothers and sisters…”

Hai Daniu came over, smiled and bowed: “Long time no see…”

Ever since he landed on the island that time, he has been following the orders of the Peach Blossom Island tribe and has been waiting for orders from the island master on Longyu Island.

Now, his cultivation has broken through again and entered the realm of the tenth level of Qi Refining!
“Congratulations, Brother Daniu, your cultivation has broken through again…”

Long Qin smiled and bowed, then guessed, “Brother Daniu, did you come here for the treasure hunt as well?”

“Of course!”

Hai Daniu said: “But I am just a runner-up… Guanfeng and the other masters of the Qi Refining Family are the ones who have high hopes…”

“It just so happens that my brother is also going to attend the conference. Brother Daniu might as well tell me about these powerful characters, so that my brother will know when to retreat and not get seriously injured…”

Upon hearing this, Long Qin immediately stepped forward, gently shook Hai Daniu’s sleeve, and pleaded.

“This… is naturally no problem.”

Hai Daniu scratched the back of his head and smiled naively, “I don’t know much about the many cultivators on Dragon Fish Island… First of all, there is my good friend Mo Guanfeng. He has a wind-attributed skill that is really ethereal and agile, and hard to guard against… In addition, there is a ‘Na Yunzi’ among the casual cultivators. Although his cultivation level is only the ninth level of Qi Refining, he has a rare treasure in his hand – ‘Cloud Moon Hook’, which is said to be as powerful as a top-grade magic weapon.”

“In addition, the most noteworthy person is Xia Houlie from the Upper Three Families. The Upper Three Families are the remnants of the Thirty-Six Islands Alliance a long time ago. Although they were destroyed once, they have risen again… There are even rumors that the Earthly Evil Qi in this Earthly Evil Lake was prepared for the geniuses of the Upper Three Families…”

Hai Daniu pursed his lips, pointed at Tai Shuhong in mid-air, and lowered his voice: “It was only later that the situation changed, and the treasure hunt conference was held. The three families also announced that they were determined to win the treasure hunt this time, and they also put forward Xiahou Lie… Although this person is not as good as that one, he also has medium-grade gold and water spiritual roots, plus a large number of elixirs and talismans, his ability in fighting is really not small…”

“Besides that, there is Zhong Lingxiu from the Zhong family… It’s funny to talk about it. The two major forces that dominated Wandao Lake in the past have now become powerful on Longyu Island and are also in opposition to each other… This Zhong Lingxiu is from the Zhong family. He is naturally talented. If the island owner had not been in seclusion in recent years, he might have been sent to Changqing Pavilion and ascended to heaven in one step… It is said that his spiritual roots are of excellent aptitude, and he has the support of the Red Jade Ancestor behind the scenes, so he has a great chance of winning this time…”

Hai Daniu mentioned a few more people who had either practiced the basic skills to the tenth level of perfection, or had practiced powerful spells, which made Long Qin’s expression change.

Compared with them, Long Feng is really insignificant and has no advantages at all.

“Thank you, brother Daniel…”

When Long Feng heard this, his expression remained unchanged, and he became even more determined.

Dang!
At this moment, a gong sounded.

Three beams of foundation-building light landed on the high platform. Yuan Feihong took a step forward, and his voice rang in the ears of every Qi-refining cultivator: “This Dragon Fish Island Treasure Hunting Conference has officially begun! I will announce a few rules…”

“First, when fighting on stage, don’t complain about life or death!”

“Second, you are not allowed to use second-level talismans or powerful disposable magic weapons!”

“third……”

Yuan Feihong’s words seemed to ring in the ears of every Qi-refining cultivator, revealing his incomparably profound cultivation and magical powers.

After he finished explaining the rules, he took a step back.

Tai Shuhong stepped forward, his eyes cold as he scanned the entire audience:
“Now… the two names I called out will be the first to come on stage. Tu Sha and Zhong Hongding!”

Two Qi-refining monks hurried onto the stage.

Among them, Tu Sha is a casual cultivator in his thirties, and his cultivation level is around the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining.

Zhong Hongding is also a member of the Zhong family. He smiled ingratiatingly at the referee Zhong Hongyu, but Zhong Hongyu’s face turned cold: “The fight begins!”

A moment later, Zhong Hongding was knocked off the stage.

If Tu Sha had not been cautious, his injuries would have been even more serious.

“The winner – Tusha!”

Zhong Hongyu announced the result expressionlessly and then called on the second group of people.

This time, it was Yuan Feihong who served as the referee…
