Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 369

[Chapter 368 Choice (asking for monthly ticket)]

“This time, Tai Sui advanced by taking the elixir made from the third-level wood-attributed demon elixir… There are still three demon beast inner elixirs left, no… plus the demon blood dragon inner elixir, that’s four!”

Fang Xi flicked his sleeves, put Tai Sui into the Shanhai Pearl, and fell into deep thought.

“This Demon Blood Dragon’s inner elixir is no longer of much use, so why not give it directly to Da Qing… Whether it can succeed depends on its luck. Anyway, even if it fails, I won’t continue to invest in it like Tai Sui…”

“In addition, we can also create a few more fake Dan monks…”

Now that he has reached a high level of cultivation, he needs to go into seclusion for a long time each time, so he really needs some help.

This is also the reason why most high-level cultivators establish sects – to better serve their own cultivation.

He released his spiritual sense, which instantly covered Longyu Island and discovered many cultivators.

“With so many monks coming here, we really need to show our faces.”

Fang Xi murmured, and his spiritual consciousness quickly transmitted the message.

The big green fish that was struggling in the lake immediately jumped up, turned into a green light, and soon came to his side.

“Let’s go!”

Fang Xi stepped on the green-horned fish dragon and spoke slowly.

The green-horned fish dragon suddenly let out a long roar, and clouds and mist swirled around its body. It flew with its head and tail shaking, and flew around the Dragon Fish Island.

…

“It’s the Dragon Fish Island Master!”

“The island owner has come out of seclusion!”

“Greetings to the Great Master of the Jindan Realm!”

Countless cultivators were startled by the dragon’s roar and came out of seclusion. They saw an old ancestor who looked like a young man riding a dragon. The terrifying spiritual power on his body made them bow their heads unconsciously.

Not long after, the green-horned fish dragon settled in the Changqing Pavilion. Fang Xi sat directly in the main hall and summoned all the major forces that came to visit this time.

Actually, it’s nothing. Just let them identify themselves, put down the gifts, and then leave…

It was not until they arrived at the Yan family on Lingkong Island that Fang Xi showed a good face and let the other party say a few more words, but he did not accept the maid. He sent the group of beauties away with the old patriarch looking regretful.

“Who else?”

Fang Xi sat in the main seat and asked casually.

Zhong Hongyu immediately stepped out and said, “Sir… there is another female foundation-building person who calls herself ‘Zong Linghu’ and says she is an old friend of yours?”

“oh?”

Fang Xi clenched his right fist, placed it on his cheek, and said casually: “Let her in!”

Not long after, the petite Zong Linghu walked in and bowed respectfully: “Zong Linghu greets the ancestor and thanks the ancestor for saving my life…”

Looking at this woman, Fang Xi couldn’t help but recall the time when he met the Zong couple when he was refining corpses in the Black Water Pond before he left the Three Kingdoms cultivation world.

“You said you are the descendant of an old friend of mine. Do you have any proof?”

Although Fang Xi had already believed most of it after looking at the other person’s face and the familiar craftsmanship on the talisman armor on his body, he still asked another question.

“My father has always kept the portrait of our ancestor, and the third-level talisman that has been passed down in our family is said to have been given by our predecessor…”

Zong Linghu obediently took out two items, a painting scroll and a jade slip, and handed them to Zhong Hongyu respectfully.

Fang Xi did not open the scroll, but just scanned the jade slip with his spiritual sense, and nodded: “It is indeed the inheritance of talismans. You can refine the ‘Talisman Armor’, which shows that you are quite talented in the art of talismans… It’s really good. The sect’s talisman master has a successor.”

“If it weren’t for the inheritance bestowed by the ancestor, how could Linghu be where he is today? Linghu is willing to be a slave to repay the ancestor’s kindness!”

Zong Linghu said solemnly.

She had indeed relied on the art of talismans and accumulated a lot of spirit stones, which allowed her to successfully build her foundation.

But as a slave…

Fang Xi’s face looked a little strange: “I am a person who is devoted to Taoism, why do so many people send me concubines, slaves, and furnaces recently… Do you really look down on me?”

His expression turned solemn: “I have only a faint friendship with your father and your ancestors… Until now, it can be regarded as a gentleman’s grace, which will be cut off after five generations… There is no need to talk about this.”

As soon as these words came out, Zong Linghu’s expression suddenly dimmed, but he bowed again: “Please allow me to practice on Longyu Island!”

“As for the chores on Dragon Fish Island, just ask Hongyu. Go down now.”

Fang Xi waved his hand and asked Zong Linghu to leave.

It was at this time that Zhong Hongyu reported the woman’s previous actions one by one, without exaggerating. Instead, she took the perspective of an outsider and neither concealed nor suppressed them.

“She is a smart woman…but she is too utilitarian.”

Fang Xi listened and said nothing: “Perhaps he has caused trouble and wants to use Dragon Fish Island to escape, or maybe he wants to use my tiger skin… That’s it, you can handle it yourself.”

For him, after fulfilling his promise to Chen Ping, the affection he felt for the descendant of the clan had indeed faded a lot.

In terms of affection, she is not as good as Zhong Hongyu.

“Hongyu knows…”

Zhong Hongyu nodded obediently.

Fang Xi stared at the woman, nodded and shook his head, his expression softened: “You are now over 160 years old, and you are only in the late stage of foundation building… your cultivation is a bit slow.”

Zhong Hongyu looked gloomy: “I am sorry that my cultivation is slow, you are disappointed…”

“Forget it. The Xuanyin Gong you practiced is not a perfect match with the Kongling root. This is something that cannot be helped…”

Fang Xi threw out a jade bottle: “The elixir in this bottle is very beneficial for improving your magic power… After you take it and practice hard, it will not be a problem to advance to the foundation building stage.”

“Thank you, young master.” Zhong Hongyu took the jade bottle under the envious gazes of Hai Daniu and Tai Shuhong, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.

“You’re welcome. You’ve been managing Dragon Fish Island for me for many years, so you deserve what you get.”

Fang Xi looked at Tai Shuhong and Hai Daniu again, especially the latter.

Hai Daniu’s spiritual roots and aptitude are average. He has only cultivated to the middle stage of foundation building. It seems that there is no hope for him to form a pill in this lifetime.

So he waved his hand, and two exquisite spiritual weapons flew out and fell into the hands of the two people: “These two spiritual weapons are given to you!”

“Thank you, Island Master.”

The two foundation-building masters also showed joy on their faces and saluted respectfully.

“Forget it, all of you retreat.”

Fang Xi waved his hand and asked everyone to leave. He looked at the backs of the three foundation-building cultivators and a strange look flashed across his face.

…

late at night.

The moon is like a hook.

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

Fang Xi was leaning against the window, drinking green bamboo wine gulps from time to time.

“Sir, Zhong Hongyu wants to see you!”

A voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

“Come in.”

He nodded, and then a red shadow flashed, and Zhong Hongyu walked in, bowing politely: “Master, I asked me to come here at night before, I wonder what it was for?”

“Hongyu… do you still want to form a pill?”

Fang Xi took another sip of Qingzhu wine and asked casually.

“Of course I do, but unfortunately at my age, even if I can quickly advance to the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage… it is almost impossible for me to go out for training and search for Dan-forming spiritual objects.”

A bitter smile appeared on Zhong Hongyu’s lips.

If the spiritual objects for forming elixir were so easy to obtain, Tai Shuhong would not have been able to complete his cultivation to the perfect stage of foundation building.

Moreover, the three major Jindan sects would not openly attack Longyu Island because of Fang Xi’s absence from travel, but they would not be polite when competing for opportunities.

However, in the Three Kingdoms, the chances of forming a pill were extremely rare, and most of them were the kind of Xuanshui Liquid. Even if one obtained it, the hope was not great.

“I just ask you, do you still have the heart to pursue the Tao?”

Fang Xi looked at Zhong Hongyu with a smile.

Zhong Hongyu’s heart moved, and she knelt down immediately: “Please tell me clearly, sir! Hongyu will go through fire and water, and will not refuse even if death is the cost!”

“It’s not that serious. It’s just that the foundation-building process is about to happen again…”

Fang Xi waved his hand.

He was still quite looking forward to the formation of the elixir from the ethereal root.

The last time he watched the other party build his foundation, he comprehended an incomplete silver seal script, combined with the ancient cultivator’s jade talisman technique, and developed the ‘Forbidden Sky Talisman’.

If I could observe the formation of the elixir, perhaps I could complete part of the void rune?

Or, to make the ‘Forbidden Sky Talisman’ more perfect?
When Zhong Hongyu mentioned the last foundation-building event, a blush appeared on her cheeks, but she immediately nodded: “I am willing!”

“Don’t agree so readily. After you form your elixir, I will put some restrictions on you to ensure that you cannot betray me.”

Fang Xi said something that made Zhong Hongyu’s face turn pale: “Because I am devoted to cultivation, I need a few loyal and trustworthy subordinates to handle things for me and find spiritual objects…”

Zhong Hongyu immediately fell into a struggle.

If one could obtain a Dan-forming spiritual object just by letting Fang Xi see it once, I’m sure all the female cultivators from the Three Kingdoms would scramble to get it.

But once a restriction is placed on you, and your life and death are in the hands of others, things are completely different.

She struggled for a long time, and finally nodded palely: “I… am willing!”

“Very good…”

Fang Xi smiled slightly: “Go down and practice well. When you have completed your foundation building, come to me to receive the ‘Mysterious Crystal Quartz’ and ‘Sky Fire Glaze’. At that time, I will also teach you the secret method of refining the golden elixir with water and fire, as well as the experience of forming the elixir…”

“What? It’s actually a Jindan spiritual object of this level?” Zhong Hongyu looked up suddenly, her face full of surprise: “I thought…”

“Do you think that I would fool you with the inner elixir of a demon beast?”

Fang Xi had a half-smile on his face and waved his hand to let Zhong Hongyu leave.

Not long after, a sword light fell outside Changqing Pavilion.

Soon, another voice sounded: “Island Master… Tai Shuhong wants to see you!”

“Come in.”

Fang Xi’s expression became much more casual, looking at Tai Shuhong who had completed the foundation building process: “You have worked hard over the years even though you have not made any contributions. I will give you three choices. The first one is that I will give you some more gadgets. The second one is that I will give you this demon pill…”

Before he finished speaking, Fang Xi opened a jade box, revealing an inner elixir that was glowing with light.

This inner elixir comes from Yan Laogui, and its properties barely match those of Taishu Hong.

When Tai Shuhong saw this demon pill, his eyes immediately lit up with eagerness, but he held back: “I wonder what the third option is, and what are the conditions?”

“Haha…you are really good.”

Fang Xi nodded with satisfaction and took out another jade slip: “For the third choice, I will give you an ancient sword cultivation method called ‘Taibai Sword Technique’… If you choose the first choice, everything will be the same as before. If you choose the second or third choice, I will plant a restriction on you, and your life and death will be controlled by me from now on…”
