Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 411

[Chapter 410: Four Seas (Congratulations to the Silver Alliance)]

“Nascent Soul Exchange Meeting?”

Fang Xi was actually quite tempted by this. After all, after the Nascent Soul stage, it was extremely difficult to buy the things needed for cultivation with spirit stones.

The True Lords mainly rely on private bartering to communicate with each other.

With his wealth, he should be able to get what he wants by just giving away some things.

However… the strength of the Jiang Kingdom’s immortal cultivation world is far stronger than that of the Yuan Kingdom. There is even a great demon cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, which makes Fang Xi hesitant.

After all… he still carries the ‘Ghost Guide’ of the original demon sect on his back!

Although they are not from the same sect, it is conceivable that if one encounters an old demon who can see this, he will definitely not treat him well, and may even be somewhat hostile.

“An old demon in the early Nascent Soul stage is nothing. I can run away even if I can’t defeat one in the middle stage… The only thing I have to worry about is that ‘Demon Lord of Heaven’?”

Fang Xi took another sip of the spiritual tea and said with emotion: “Great monk? That great elder of the Li Shang Demon Palace, I wonder how many years he has been famous?”

“this……”

Huang Yungong obviously didn’t expect Fang Xi to ask this question, but this was not secret information.

He thought for a moment and gave his answer: “That demon king was extremely talented. He condensed his Nascent Soul before he was 200 years old and became famous all over the world. It has been about 600 to 700 years since then…”

“I see. It seems that this ‘Demon Lord of Heaven’ will have no problem leading the Jiang Kingdom through the difficulty of descending to the realm… After all, this kind of descending to the realm may only take decades to pass.”

Fang Xi looked quite emotional.

In fact, he felt relieved: “Be lenient with the enemy. Even if he is 800 years old now… people in the late Nascent Soul stage generally live longer than those in the early stage. There may be some methods and elixirs to prolong life, but 1,300 to 1,400 years is almost the limit. A lifespan of 500 to 600 years is no problem for me…”

“So this is what you are worried about…”

Huang Yungong frowned, “It’s hard to say… Although ordinary descents last for a few years or decades, if we encounter a ‘big descent’, it is possible that it will last for hundreds or even thousands of years… And according to what some fellow Taoists said, the omen of the void this time is quite big…”

“No wonder… the Seven Evil Palaces have begun to prepare a retreat. Now the Yuan Kingdom is also in chaos.” Fang Xi sighed and raised his doubts: “Such an act… does the Heavenly Jealous Demon Lord not care?”

“The demons are always selfish, and when they reach the Nascent Soul stage, they are even more cunning…” Huang Yungong seemed to be a little disdainful of this: “What’s more… the great elder of the Seven Evils Hall, the Seven Killing Demon Lord, is the second best demon in Jiang Country, and he seems to have promised that he would only relocate some of the sect’s disciples to Yuan Country, and the old demon in the Nascent Soul stage would still stay and fight against the descending world with his fellow disciples in Jiang Country… With his magical powers in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage, as long as he doesn’t fall into a desperate situation, the danger in the descending world is actually not too great.”

“So that’s how it is… I wonder where the party will be held?” Fang Xi silently repeated the key information such as the Seven Killing Demon Lord and the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in his mind, and then asked.

“Three years and five months later, Bingsha Lake!”

Huang Yun said: “Daoyou can practice in Huangyunjian for a while, and then go with me…”

“Haha… This is my first time in Jiang Country. I want to wander around and collect some unique materials.”

Fang Xi declined with a smile.

Collecting resources is only one of the goals. The key is to find a way to break the curse of “Ghost Attraction”.

Otherwise, it would be a bit too exciting to attend a gathering of Yuanying-stage demons with a famous name.

“In that case… well, I won’t try to persuade you to stay. Three years later, I will wait for you around Bingsha Lake.”

Huang Yun is fair.

“Thank you!”

Fang Xi bowed and discussed with Huang Yungong some tips and taboos in Nascent Soul cultivation, and gained a lot.

When it comes to the Nascent Soul stage, it becomes more difficult for cultivators to advance, and they rely on each other’s experience to complement each other.

Although he had just cultivated the Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul of the external sect had already been achieved, and he was practicing the ancient method of cultivation, and some of his views were very inspiring to Huang Yungong.

After all, Huang Yungong had been promoted to the early stage of Nascent Soul for many years, and he had a lot of experience in the initial cultivation and consolidation of Nascent Soul, which benefited Fang Xi a lot.

…

After leaving Huangyunjian, Fang Xi wandered around Jiang Kingdom, collecting some special spiritual objects at random.

“Speaking of Jiang Country… the evil ways are strong, and the righteous ways can only survive. The only Nascent Soul Sect seems to be the ‘Taixu Sect’… Before, it went to Yuan Country without knowing whether to live or die, and then I killed a Nascent Soul Seed with a heavenly spiritual root…”

‘This can be considered a small book, but unfortunately, the classics of this sect only have an introduction to the ‘Ghost Summoning’, and no method to break the curse.’

Fang Xi controlled a beam of magic light to conceal his figure and appearance, maintaining his aura at around the Jindan stage, and landed in front of a market town.

“Welcome this Immortal Master to Sihaifang Market!”

A beautiful girl immediately stepped forward, smiling sweetly, as if every move she made had been specially trained: “Does this immortal master need a guide? Only one spirit stone is needed for one day.”

“Oh? You are a mortal?”

Fang Xi took a quick look and was a little surprised.

“My name is Yanyan, and I am indeed a mortal.”

A trace of sadness appeared on Yanyan’s face, and she straightened her chest again: “But I know every tree and blade of grass in this market very well, and I will not let you down…”

“Why did I hear that… in this Jiang Kingdom, mortals are like living in hell?”

Fang Xi couldn’t help but feel a little surprised when he saw many mortals around soliciting business.

“It seems that the senior is from another country?”

Yanyan disagreed and explained with a smile: “This rumor is wrong. The immortal masters are high up, how could they deliberately kill mortals like us? It’s just that in the secular world, every household has to pay the population on time, which is called ‘blood tax’… Other than that, mortals and the immortal world are very separate. The immortal masters are high up and usually don’t interfere with us…”

After Yanyan’s explanation, Fang Xi also understood.

The path of magic also requires absorbing spiritual energy for cultivation, and requires selecting those with spiritual roots from among mortals as new blood.

Massacre of mortals is a foolish act that would undermine one’s own foundation.

As for the “consumables” needed to practice various magic techniques?
Naturally, there is the “blood tax” offered by the secular dynasty.

Some dynasties would even deliberately encourage childbirth, especially during special times such as the Yin year, Yin month, and Yin day… Often children born at this time would receive more generous rewards from the sect after being offered as a sacrifice.

‘As for this blood tax… To be frank, even if there was no blood tax, many people would still die due to dynasty changes, natural disasters, famines and wars… but considering the huge population base, it is not worth mentioning.’

Fang Xi thought in his heart and looked at Yanyan again.

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

Yanyan was also a member of the Blood Tax, and was offered to a nearby Jindan Sect – the Blood Sea Sect!
Among these Blood Taxes, the luckiest ones with spiritual roots could become menial disciples… The rest of the mortals, the strong and powerful ones became slaves and miners, and the beautiful ones became concubines and playthings.

Even more unfortunate is that they become consumables for practicing magic skills…

However, the Demon Sect treats everyone equally in this regard, even if they are outer disciples or inner disciples… There are many cases where a disciple who fails to serve their master well is used by the elders to practice magic.

Yanyan is a scheming and scheming woman, but she has no spiritual roots and is assigned to be a slave in the market town. Naturally, all the spiritual stones she earns every day have to be handed over to the Xuehai Clan.

“If the spiritual stones we hand in every day do not meet the standard, we will be…”

Yanyan’s face was full of pitiful expression. She looked at Fang Xi eagerly and hinted that she could do something else.

“Forget it… You lead the way, let’s go buy some high-level spiritual items first, and then go to the best place in the market to have fun.”

Fang Xi waved his hand and threw out a low-grade spirit stone, which made Yanyan very happy but also a little sad.

The best fate for maids like them would be to be spotted by a passing monk and then bought back to be a concubine or slave. Otherwise, once they grow old and ugly, I’m afraid…

However, Fang Xi simply looked down upon this woman.

He was tired of fairies and the like, but witches and the like were very new to him, so he wanted to see them for himself…

“In the market town, the best place for pleasure is the ‘Soul-Stirring Tower’…”

Yanyan seemed to know everything about this: “‘Soul-Stirring Tower’ is the business of Ruyi Sect… Ruyi Sect is very famous in my Jiang country. It is a major Nascent Soul Sect, famous for its dual cultivation and essence-gathering techniques… It is said that the ‘Soul-Stirring Concubines’ in the Soul-Stirring Tower are good at a reverse dual cultivation technique that can reversely enhance the cultivator’s cultivation. One practice is no less effective than taking a pill that increases mana, and it is even more enjoyable. They have a very good reputation among nearby cultivators, but the fees are expensive…”

“Let’s go check out some material shops first… and also some medicine shops.”

Fang Xi spoke.

Although it’s unlikely, what if there is a fourth-level pill recipe for sale here?
A moment later.

In the Sihaifang Market.

Fang Xi walked out of a spiritual material shop, followed by the shopkeeper who bowed deeply to see him off.

“This Immortal Master… can even make a Foundation Establishment expert bow respectfully. Could it be that he is an ancestor-level figure who has condensed a golden elixir?”

Yanyan led the way respectfully, without any of her previous coquettish look.

If Fang Xi was still a Qi-refining or foundation-building cultivator, she would have the guts to tease him in the hope of being redeemed.

But after discovering that Fang Xi might be a Jindan ancestor, she instantly lost this idea.

Such an old ancestor has a long life span, what kind of beauty has he not seen? There is no need to humiliate yourself and invite disaster.

“Alas… there really aren’t any high-end good things in this market… or rather, things that are useful to Nascent Soul cultivators are indeed rare.”

Fang Xi sighed in his heart, and then said: “Let’s go to the Soul-Stirring Tower!”

This kind of place for fun must be the place with the most up-to-date information. He wanted to go there to get some information…

“Senior, the Soul-Stirring Tower is ahead.”

Yanyan brought Fang Xi to an attic where the wood gave off a strange aroma. Her face flushed slightly, and she obviously couldn’t resist the temptation of this aroma.

“Um?”

Fang Xi was about to walk in, but when he glanced around, he saw a person and was slightly surprised: “Is it him?!”
