Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 587

[Chapter 586 Mo Men (asking for monthly ticket)]

“You must tell your family when you go out, and you must meet them when you return…”

“In the morning, be thoughtful; in the evening, be calm…”

In Li’s private school, a group of children were reading with their heads shaking.

Fang Xi held a book in his hand and corrected a few pronunciations from time to time.

For him, this kind of thing is naturally very easy.

And now, his words and deeds have been completely integrated into the customs of Sunset Plains, and there is no difference at all.

After many children finished reading the textbooks, Fang Xi held the book in his right hand and tapped his left palm from time to time: “In life, we must have some ambitions. Today, let’s talk about our ambitions… Li Yuanding, you go first.”

A fat boy stood up. He had round cheeks and a square scarf on his head. He said in a baby voice, “Teacher… When I grow up, I want to be like my father, marry three wives, have eight children… and have wine and meat for every meal!”

“whee!”

The school was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.

“Sit down, Li Yuanchu, what about you?”

Fang Xi asked another Mongolian child.

Li Yuanchu was thin and small, with dark skin. He stood up and said firmly, “I want to… become a warrior, build a foundation in martial arts, and then achieve true elixir… and turn to the path of immortality!”

This is almost the standard answer of most children.

In the world of earthly immortals, whether one can cultivate immortality also depends on one’s spiritual roots and aptitude.

Every child in the Li family who possesses spiritual roots is a treasure, and Fang Xi never sees them on weekdays.

Those who can come to the private school to study are all “losers” who cannot pass the spiritual root test and cannot even reach the lower-grade spiritual roots.

When they grow up, apart from managing the Li family’s business and living a mediocre life as mortals, if they want to change their fate, they have to practice martial arts!
The martial arts in the earthly immortal world have developed to a considerable height, even more developed and perfect than the martial arts immortals.

Ordinary children can identify acupuncture points and meridians and practice internal martial arts from the age of ten. This is called the acquired realm!

There are ten levels in the acquired realm. After cultivating to the peak of the tenth level, if one can break through the barrier, one will become an innate master who has laid the foundation of martial arts!

And the innate masters can take up high-level positions such as captain and city patrol officer in Feiri City.

If one’s innate cultivation reaches the pinnacle and finally condenses a ‘Martial Arts True Pill’, he will be a master of the True Pill realm. With the ‘weapons’ specially made by immortal cultivators, his lethality is not inferior to that of ordinary Jindan cultivators. The only thing is that his lifespan is much shorter than that of ordinary immortal cultivators.

Fang Xi felt that if the martial arts masters of the Earthly Immortal Realm were to cooperate with their martial arts equipment, the martial arts immortals of Daliang would basically be no match for them.

If one can reach the ultimate level of martial arts elixir, and if one can obtain a few legendary treasures, or the “martial arts elixir” refined by immortal cultivators, one can transform one’s blood and vitality, and give birth to spiritual roots!
Although the quality of the spiritual roots depends entirely on one’s character and the rank of the treasures used, it is at least a low-grade spiritual root that can be cultivated into the Tao!

It is said that such masters who ‘use martial arts to gain enlightenment’, although they need to refine their Qi and build their foundation from scratch, can, like those with heavenly spiritual roots, cultivate to the Jindan realm relatively easily!

Therefore, the mortals in the earthly immortal world also occupied a part of the power and could compete with the general immortal cultivation sects.

Of course, the general immortal cultivation sects refer specifically to those below the level of God Transformation.

If there is a sect headed by a Venerable Transformation God, then the emperor of the mortal kingdom must show respect to him and offer tributes every year.

After the class ended, Fang Xi began to tidy up his desk, and sighed helplessly in his heart: “Mortals are born and die in the morning… All they see is what is in front of them. Even in the ‘Fei Ri City’ where I am, there is only a rough map of the country, and I don’t even understand the geography of the Sunset Plains…”

Fang Xi was actually eager to know the current situation in the Earthly Immortal Realm, the movements of the upper echelons, and the follow-up of the cultivation realm…

But he restrained himself, remained neither arrogant nor impatient, and waited silently for the opportunity.

This time is not far away.

After tidying up the classroom and desks, he walked out of the private school and went to visit Old Man Huang.

“Haha, Professor Fang, your lessons are easy to understand. The children like you very much.”

Old Man Huang chuckled: “The master specifically ordered that I give you an extra 10% of the reward this month.”

“Please ask Mr. Huang to thank the Li family for me…”

Fang Xi bowed as a gesture of greeting and took a purse from Old Man Huang. Inside the purse were some oddly shaped copper coins with rings at the end for a hemp rope to pass through.

He walked out of the private school and strolled along the commercial street of Feiri City.

Now he has completely adapted to these local customs and even feels somewhat familiar with them.

Ding ding!

Suddenly, the sound of a gong woke Fang Xi up.

He followed the crowd of onlookers to a signboard on the city gate tower.

Then I saw a big man in a white robe, wearing an official uniform, holding a gong in his hand and beating it vigorously.

Next to it, there were several bright yellow notices.

“My fellow villagers… The City Lord’s Mansion has increased the exchange rate for spirit stones. If you have inherited something from your ancestors, you must not miss it… That’s yellow knife coins, a mansion, and fertile fields…”

Seeing the preacher promoting at the top of his voice, quite a few people were interested.

Fang Xi also found this scene interesting.

The human cultivators in the Earthly Immortal Realm usually use spirit stones as currency.

Moreover, he had secretly observed that there was no difference between the low-grade spirit stones in the Earthly Immortal Realm and those in the Southern Wilderness.

“It’s just that the City Lord’s Mansion suddenly behaved like this, which seems a bit suspicious…”

Fang Xi thought about it secretly, but didn’t care much. He went to Lao Liang Restaurant, ordered three cups of Huangliang Wine, bought a few pounds of braised meat, and returned to Li’s house.

The residence of Old Man Huang.

The old man had no children and only had a small desire for food, and he liked to drink “Huangliang Wine” the most.

Seeing Fang Xi coming over with wine and meat, a smile immediately appeared on his face: “Teacher Fang is so thoughtful…”

“No, no, I was able to teach at the Li family and receive protection thanks to your recommendation, Mr. Huang…”

The two found a stone table in the courtyard, poured some yellow millet wine, tore open the oil paper wrapping the braised meat, and began to feast on it.

After three rounds of drinking, seeing that Old Man Huang’s nose was beginning to turn red, Fang Xi secretly laughed and asked casually, “It seems that the City Lord’s Mansion is buying spirit stones at a high price now. I wonder what’s going on?”

Although he could still choose to search the soul of the old man opposite him, but since he had set himself the goal of learning to integrate into this world for several years and trying not to use magic, Fang Xi would not break this rule easily.

What’s more, with his knowledge and ability, even without using magic, there is nothing these mortals can keep secrets from.

“It’s not just the government. Our Li family, Zhang family, Shenyi Sect, and anyone with some connections are all buying spirit stones privately. Instructor Fang, you are well-informed. If you have spirit stones, don’t miss this opportunity.”

Old man Huang burped and said with a smile.

“oh?”

Fang Xi’s eyes lit up: “It looks like there’s something good going on, something to do with immortal cultivators? Otherwise, why would they need spirit stones? Could it be that the immortal envoy who’s testing spirits is coming again, and is going to hold a small trade fair or something like that?”

Immortal cultivators have many good things in their hands, each of which is beyond the reach of mortals.

Regardless of whether it is talismans with different effects, or elixirs that can cure all diseases and prolong life… they will definitely be crazily sought after by these noble families.

“Yes, you are very smart, but there is still one thing missing…”

Old man Huang showed a smug smile on his face and lowered his voice: “Anyway, this matter will spread soon, so it’s the same if you know it in advance… In three months, the mechanical city of ‘Mo Men’ will arrive in Dingguo to start trading. That is a rare event that only happens once in a hundred years… As long as we prepare enough spirit stones, even mortals will be able to enter the mechanical city and trade various rare items in the world of immortal cultivation.”

Fang Xi had also heard of the name ‘Mo Men’ and knew that it was a powerful sect of cultivating immortals.

As for the strength of the sect, and whether the ancestor was a spirit-transforming cultivator or a return-to-void cultivator, they knew nothing about it.

Hearing this, he couldn’t help but be surprised: “Mechanical city? Could it be that this city can be moved?”

He even said to himself: “Isn’t this a mobile market? The immortal cultivators in the Earthly Immortal Realm really know how to have fun… No, strictly speaking, they are just a group of merchants, similar to peddlers who walk through the streets and alleys shouting to sell goods…”

In an instant, he had some guesses about the strength of Mo Men.

A truly powerful immortal cultivation sect does not necessarily need to trade with mortal kingdoms…

“Of course it can move. The Momen Mechanical City is extremely magnificent… Unfortunately, I have never seen it before. This time I must broaden my horizons.”

Old Man Huang said, “Moreover, this ‘Mo Sect’ is much stronger than the ‘Xijian Sect’ or the ‘Mingyu Sect’. The master has two nephews and nephews with excellent spiritual roots hidden there. When the immortal envoy came last time, he was reluctant to let them go with him. He was waiting for this opportunity to see if he could join the Mo Sect…”

After the old man finished speaking, he drank another cup of yellow millet wine, then lay down on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

Fortunately, the weather is not cold now, so it is not easy to catch a cold if you sleep outside.

Fang Xi stood up, stretched, and came to the Li family library.

The two martial arts masters guarding the attic stood as tall as pine trees, with gleaming brilliance in their eyes. When they saw Fang Xi coming over, they were stunned for a moment, but did not stop him.

The Li family’s library is divided into two parts, one visible and one hidden. The visible one mostly contains various travel notes, miscellaneous books, agronomy, medicine, and some basic martial arts.

Li family members, guests… can browse it at will.

As for the one in secret, what are treasured are at least innate martial arts, and it is said that there are also true elixir martial arts and immortal cultivation techniques. Even in the Li family, only a few people who are recognized by the head of the family can enter.

“Once in a hundred years…”

“Momen Mechanical City…”

Once you have a clear goal, it will be easier to find it.

Fang Xi flipped through several bookshelves, and soon, he had a few more books in his hands.

“History of Feiri City, Travels of Li Ming, Diary of an Unknown Person…”

Fang Xi first opened the “History of Fei Ri City” and looked at the records from a hundred years ago, thoughtfully.

Soon, he turned to a page in Li Ming’s Travel Notes. Li Ming was an ancestor of the Li family. He had also cultivated to the innate realm of martial arts foundation building and liked to travel. His travel notes recorded his experience of encountering a mechanical city in another place one year…
