Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 540

[Chapter 539: Making Friends (Congratulations to the Leader Who Can’t Bear HW)]

“Mrs. Snake… isn’t getting any younger anymore.”

Looking at the slightly weathered brows of Mrs. Snake, Fang Xi sighed in his heart and recalled this woman two hundred years ago.

Even if the lifespan of a Jindan cultivator is 500 years, 200 years is a very long time.

It’s understandable that this woman looks a little old.

At this time, the whispers of the monks around him also reached his ears:

“Is that Master Jueyan? The Holy Fire Sect is truly worthy of being the largest sect in the Western Desert, with so many Nascent Souls emerging… How great would it be if I could also be a disciple of the Holy Fire Sect?”

“Could the people who were bound be the ‘Five Demonic Thieves’? It is said that this group of sand bandits are all Jindan cultivators, and it is true… It is said that they also discovered a Nascent Soul treasure and obtained many secret arts, magic weapons and magical powers. Even Jindan late stage cultivators are no match for them. ‘Master Jinyuan’ suffered this murderous hand…”

…

Fang Xi glanced a few more times, then turned and left.

As far as he was concerned, the deal with ‘Mrs. Snake’ was completed and they no longer owed each other anything.

“The main goal at the moment is still the ancient teleportation array. I will also try to acquire the secret technique that helps me achieve my spiritual transformation and the fifth-level Qilin blood… These are not easy tasks, so we can take our time…”

Considering that it has been about sixty years since the descent to the realm ended, if the “Fire Ancestor” wanted to use it, the Qilin blood would have been used long ago.

And if it is not used, there is a high possibility that it will remain forever, so Fang Xi is not in a hurry.

He came to the best spiritual vein location in Shaoyang City and found the rental manager.

The steward was also a disciple of the Holy Fire Sect. When he saw Fang Xi, he did not dare to neglect him. “I am Jiang Bai, honored to meet this senior. May I ask what you want?”

“Rent a fourth-level cave.”

Fang Xi answered calmly.

Jiang Bai’s expression suddenly became more respectful: “I don’t know your name, senior? So that I can register with you…”

“I am Qinghe, a casual cultivator…”

Fang Xi replied.

This ‘True Lord Qinghe’ was naturally a new alias he was going to create, to create a persona of a casual cultivator who was condensing his Nascent Soul, and also a genius in swordsmanship.

With the arrival of the demon race, countless cultivators died, a large number of sects were destroyed, and their inheritance was lost… This is good for independent cultivators.

Although most of the casual cultivators died more miserably than the sect, some rare resources flowed out, and the various secret blockades of the sect were weakened a lot, which made many powerful casual cultivators emerge, and there were many examples of successful Dan and even Yuanying!
“It turned out to be Qinghe Zhenjun, the price of the fourth-level cave is…”

Jiang Bai quickly bent his waist a little more and reported a number of spirit stones.

Fang Xi’s expression remained unchanged as he casually threw out a storage bag: “The spirit stones in this bag are enough to pay for 50 years of rent… Where’s the token?”

After getting the cave token and map, Fang Xi came to his cave and found that it was an independent mountain called “Piaoyun Peak”.

He took the restriction token and walked into the cave. The first thing he did was to check if there were any hidden restrictions, and then he changed all the formations guarding the cave.

“This place is still enough for a temporary stay. Anyway, I can practice in the Mountain and Sea Pearl…”

Fang Xi murmured.

With his current cultivation level, it is basically impossible for him to be seen through by performing the secret technique of changing his appearance and concealing his aura unless a Divine Transformation cultivator is in front of him…

In this way, it seems that I can live in Shaoyang City for a few years and collect what I want.

Now that he has plenty of life left and the disaster that befell the world has passed, Fang Xi is really not in a hurry at all.

…

In the next few years.

Fang Xi frequently came out of seclusion to make friends with fellow Taoists in the Nascent Soul stage, and then bought many rare materials. Occasionally, he also sold some high-level talismans and pretended to replenish his spirit stones. At the same time, he secretly paid attention to the news of various top-level resources and participated in various auctions and private exchanges.

The batch of Western Desert specialties he acquired was not very useful to him, so he could also hand them over to the Nine Provinces and share the research results…

Occasionally, Fang Xi would go to the largest ‘Snake Girl’s House’ in Shaoyang City to admire the graceful dance of the snake girls and return only when he had enough fun.

It looks like he is no different from an ordinary Yuanying stage old monster who likes pleasure.

All this information was continuously summarized by many managers and shop owners, and came into the hands of the Yuanying of the Holy Fire Sect in Shaoyang City.

“Master Qinghe… I have seen this person before at an exchange meeting.”

Jue Yanzi held a jade slip in his hand, a smile on his face: “My magic power is average… and as a casual cultivator, after breaking through a great realm, I find that my potential has been exhausted… It’s normal to like to enjoy some pleasure.”

Compared to those ‘Nascent Soul old monsters’ who have really lived to the brink of death and have erratic temperaments, True Lord Qinghe’s temper is relatively good.

“Although the origins of the independent cultivators are questionable, the chaos of the demon race has destroyed order, and it is difficult to trace them…”

“He’s a good candidate for a guest official.”

Jue Yanzi smiled and shook a jade bell in his hand.

A female disciple immediately walked into the cave and bowed deeply: “Master…what do you want to call me for?”

“Send a visiting card to True Lord Qinghe for me, and tell him that I will visit you in three days!”

Jue Yanzi smiled.

He enjoyed his current life very much. He had cultivated his Nascent Soul, ruled a region, and had the support of a large sect. Even the old Nascent Soul monster had to give him some face…

…

Three days later.

When Jue Yanzi arrived at Piaoyun Peak, he saw Fang Xi had already opened the formation: “Daoyou Jue Yan, please!”

“Fellow Daoist Qinghe is too polite…”

Jue Yanzi declined and then entered the cave, behaving calmly and with the demeanor of a noble man.

‘Alas… that Jindan cultivator who was so respectful in front of Tiangui Zhenjun has finally gone and will never come back…’

Fang Xi sighed inwardly, his face looking normal as he served the spiritual tea and fruits first.

The two chatted about some issues regarding cultivation. He deliberately concealed his shortcomings and asked Jue Yanzi about issues regarding the early stages of Nascent Soul cultivation.

Jue Yanzi occasionally made a few remarks, but they were always insightful and to the point.

Fang Xi was sighing in his heart: “The Holy Fire Sect is worthy of being the largest sect in the Western Desert. The Yuanying in the early stage of the sect can at least see the follow-up path, and the probability of breaking through to the middle stage is higher than that of other Yuanying monsters…”

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

As for Jue Yanzi’s intention to win him over? How could he not see it?
It was just that being a guest official of the Holy Fire Sect was not a very good treatment.

After all, the Holy Fire Sect has several great monks, including an old ancestor who has reached the level of a spirit, so they are not afraid of foreign guests at all.

But because of this, there are many restrictions, and it is not as comfortable as the Three Immortals Sect, which only has two or three big cats and small cats.

Even so, there are always some Yuanying old monsters who join the Holy Fire Sect as guest officials, just to gain protection and bless their families and disciples…

Therefore, when Jue Yanzi hinted again, Fang Xi sighed quietly: “Ever since I was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, I feel that my potential has been exhausted… I am afraid that I will never be able to break through the middle stage in this lifetime… In this thousand years of life, in addition to enjoying life, I should also have some pursuits…”

To become a Yuanying monster, one must have extremely firm beliefs, otherwise it would be difficult to even pass the calamity of the inner demon.

Jue Yanzi immediately asked seriously: “I wonder what your ambition is?”

“I have no intention of pursuing immortality now. All I wish for in this life is to see the blue sea in the morning and the yellow sand in the evening, to see the blue sky and climb the white sun… to travel through the five regions of the human world! Then write a travelogue and publish it all over the world!”

Fang Xi answered with a pious look on his face.

“So you are just a person seeking fame and reputation!”

Jue Yanzi sneered in his heart. He was devoted to the path of Taoism, and now he just wanted to make more achievements, and then break through the middle and late stages of the Nascent Soul… and even hope to become a god!
He sneered at those cultivators who pursued fame. After all, no matter whether they left a name in history or a bad name for thousands of years, when a person died, there was nothing…

On the surface, he showed admiration: “Fellow Daoist, you have great ambitions! However, traveling through the various realms is very difficult even for Nascent Soul cultivators like us… Apart from anything else, the Central Realm has long been in ruins. Not only are there dangers everywhere, but there are also void cracks all over the void, making it impossible to defend against them!”

“And the Southern Wasteland has long been disconnected from the remaining three regions. There is no ancient teleportation array… To pass through the endless dangers, I’m afraid only our sect’s incarnation ancestor has the ability to do so… But this is also a very difficult task.”

“well……”

Fang Xi also sighed in agreement: “I also know that going to the Central Region and the Southern Wasteland is a luxury, but I can go to the East China Sea and the Northern Frontier. I hope that fellow Daoist will help me!”

“You want to use our ancient teleportation array?!”

Jue Yanzi blurted out, feeling a little depressed.

How come he came here to win over the guest officials, but ended up like this?
“I heard that your family has an ancient teleportation array that can directly connect to the East China Sea and the Northern Frontier Icefield…”

Fang Xi looked at Jue Yanzi expectantly.

“This… the ancient teleportation array is not easy to maintain. It costs a lot every time it is used… and we need to find someone to guarantee it.”

Jue Yanzi instinctively wanted to refuse.

Why would he do such a thankless task?
Fang Xi knew that this person was adventurous, otherwise he would not have traded with him.

The reason I don’t agree now is simply because the benefits are not enough!

He smiled slightly, and with a flick of his storage bag, a scarlet box appeared on the table: “If you are willing to help me, I will give you this…”

The fiery red jade box opened, revealing a dark Ganoderma lucidum.

Jue Yanzi looked at it for a moment, and suddenly a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face: “Could this be the ‘Nine Flame Ganoderma’?”

“That’s right. It should be more than 4,000 years old. If it is refined into a pill, it will be of great benefit to the cultivation of the monks who practice fire-attributed techniques!”

Fang Xi smiled and said, “This item is the most precious one in my collection. If it weren’t for the conflict between the technique I’m practicing and this item, I would never take it out.”

Jue Yanzi looked around with his spiritual sense and confirmed that it was correct. Just as he was about to reach out his hand, he saw the jade box disappear in a flash.

“I will definitely give this item to you before I teleport.”

Fang Xi said calmly: “With the reputation of the Holy Fire Sect, you don’t have to worry about me playing any tricks…”

‘This deal is done!’

This sentence emerged in Jue Yanzi’s mind.

In fact, the ancient teleportation array has always been open. Not only can the Holy Fire Sect monks choose to travel to the East China Sea and the Northern Frontier after they have cultivated their Nascent Soul, but the Holy Fire Sect will also accept ordinary Nascent Soul monks as long as there is a guarantee. Anyway, they will receive a lot of spiritual stones and materials, so why not?
And with the cultivation of the early Nascent Soul of ‘Qinghe Zhenjun’, can he really turn the world upside down under the eyes of the Fire Ancestor?
