Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 590

[Chapter 589: Wood Blade Technique (Subscription Request)]

“Is that… the Momen Mechanical City?”

Li Guangjin looked at the city floating above the huge lake. He couldn’t find the right words to describe it after thinking for a long time. He could only sigh: “It’s really magnificent and grand. It’s hard to imagine. This is the residence of immortals!”

Almost every convoy that comes here will be shocked by the grandeur and vastness of the Mechanical City.

Such a large city could probably accommodate tens of millions of people and form a country of its own!
In their opinion, this was simply unimaginable!
For the sake of caution, Fang Xi did not use his spiritual sense to investigate, but everything he saw with his eyes made him feel that the trip was worthwhile.

“Those hundred-foot-tall rock statues should be a kind of puppet that does not exist in the human world – rock puppets. I have seen similar descriptions in the Thousand Machine Secret Book. Ancient cultivators should be able to refine this kind of puppet, but for some reason the refining method was lost later… Looking at the aura of these giant stone statues, most of them are of the fourth level, and can fight against the Nascent Soul…”

“Such a huge floating city, what kind of power or treasure is used to keep it suspended in the air? Is there enough energy? It doesn’t seem to be a waste… Perhaps the monks in the Nine Provinces would like to study it. “

Although he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, Fang Xi showed no sign of it and followed the convoy to set up camp.

At this time, many caravans had arrived at the edge of the giant lake and built temporary camps and shacks. There were even many platforms, stalls, and tents by the lake… Inside were low-level cultivators who had come down from the Mechanical City and had already started setting up stalls and trading on their own.

Countless streams of light flew in and out of the Mechanical City, making this dark and ancient city appear full of vitality.

After setting up the camp, Zhang Longhu announced that each family could act on their own.

“Although the mechanical city is said to be accessible to mortals, we don’t know how to fly, nor do we have flying talismans or weapons. Unless there is an immortal cultivator to lead the way, we can only try our luck at the stalls by the lake…”

Li Guangjin heard the news and came to invite Fang Xi to go out with him: “How about we go and take a look together?”

“please!”

Fang Xi smiled slightly and came to the lakeside with Li Guangjin.

This place has been leveled long ago, with stone platforms built up, each of which can accommodate a thousand people. Now, there are many independent cultivators setting up stalls here.

Fang Xi noticed that although most of the people setting up stalls were cultivators at the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages, they got along very well with ordinary people.

After all, the combat power of innate masters is not inferior to that of foundation-building cultivators, and equal communication is often based on similar strength.

The number of mortals is much larger than that of immortal cultivators.

What’s more, these warriors now have arms full of spiritual stones and various spiritual objects that are useless to mortals. They are big customers!
“Brother Li, what do you want to buy?”

Fang Xi went out for a trip with Li Guangjin. He glanced at the spiritual objects on the stalls and couldn’t help but feel emotional.

The Earthly Immortal Realm is indeed vast and rich in resources. Of all the spiritual objects, talismans, weapons, and elixirs on display… he could only recognize most of them.

Most of it was thanks to the soul search of two native Jindan masters that expanded my knowledge.

“this……”

Li Guangjin was somewhat embarrassed: “I want to exchange for a bottle of ‘Eternal Beauty Pill’. It is said that if a mortal woman takes one pill of this pill, she can stay young for ten years…”

“Brother Li is indeed a person who cherishes flowers…”

Fang Xi saw Li Guangjin stop in front of a medicine stall and start bargaining with the stall owner. He then said goodbye and went on to sightseeing.

Before long, he stopped in front of a stall.

The stall owner was a Qi-refining cultivator who looked like a down-and-out scholar, and there were only a few books on the stall.

“Does this guest want to buy books? These books are all copied by me personally…”

The down-and-out scholar forced a smile on his face.

Most of the spiritual objects and talismans on the stone platform stalls were low-level items, and Fang Xi didn’t even look at them.

The only things that could interest him were naturally these books.

“Are these books all handwritten? This immortal master is very thoughtful. I wonder what to call him?”

Fang Xi picked up a blue paper book and found that it contained a set of ‘Shaoyang True Secret’ exercises, which was an orthodox method of cultivating immortals and could be practiced all the way to the Jindan realm.

Of course, there is a small restriction on the book, and you can only read the first few pages.

This poor scholar obviously knew that mortals had no spiritual consciousness and divine awareness and could not read jade slips, so he specially copied a large number of books and sold them. He was a very shrewd businessman.

“My last name is Hua.”

The downtrodden scholar said, “Are you going to prepare immortal cultivation techniques for your relatives and friends? If you don’t know their spiritual root qualifications, I would still recommend a non-attributed technique. This ‘Purple Element Qi Transfer Technique’ is moderate and peaceful, and can be cultivated all the way to the Jindan realm. In the later stage, it can also perfectly connect with most of the Yuanying techniques…”

He felt that Fang Xi had a good temperament and might have carried a lot of spirit stones, so he recommended it with great enthusiasm.

Fang Xi did not comment, flipped through a few more books, and frowned: “Why is it that the highest level of cultivation is only up to the stage of Jindan, and there are very few Yuanying?”

“As for the techniques above the Nascent Soul stage, I’m afraid you’ll have to go to the shops in the Mechanical City to see them.”

The down-and-out scholar almost thought Fang Xi was deliberately looking for trouble, and his expression became a little cold.

“I see. I wonder which stores in the Mechanical City sell the best skills?”

Fang Xi smiled slightly, flipped through several travel notes and geography books, and handed them to the down-and-out scholar.

“No problem… In the Mechanical City, the best one is naturally the ‘Tian Mo Pavilion’, the main business of the Mo Sect, but the skills in the other several schools, such as the ‘Wan Fa Lou’ and the ‘Qian Feng Tang’, are also quite good… The total amount of spirit stones required for these books, sir…”

The down-and-out scholar’s eyes lit up and he quickly quoted a price.

Fang Xi smiled, took out a handful of spirit stones from his bosom, put them in the shopkeeper’s hand, and took away a few handwritten books.

In the following days, he casually strolled around the stalls by the lake. It cannot be said that he gained nothing, but he was also a little disappointed.

“It seems that… the real good stuff has to go to the Mechanical City.”

After some thought, Fang Xi returned to the Feiri City camp.

“Master Fang, you came just in time. The City Lord’s Mansion is about to leave… We also need to break camp and set off immediately so that we can have someone to take care of us.”

Li Guangjin came over in a hurry.

“So suddenly?”

Fang Xi showed surprise on his face, but he was certain in his heart that the city lord Zhang should have exchanged for the “Martial Arts Pill”. In order to avoid any further trouble, he returned immediately.

The Li family and other dependent families and sects don’t even have a martial arts elixir, so naturally they have to follow, otherwise there will be too many dangers along the way.

“Yeah, clean it up quickly.”

Li Guangjin said earnestly.

Fang Xi smiled casually: “I was just about to tell Brother Li that I’m not leaving…”

“Not leaving? What does that mean?”

A hint of doubt appeared on Li Guangjin’s face.

“To be honest… I met an immortal master when I was wandering around before. He said that I have spiritual roots and I can learn Taoism from him…”

Fang Xi said happily.

“Spiritual roots?” Li Guangjin’s expression changed continuously, first he was shocked, then jealous… and then it became complicated: “When we test the spiritual roots, there is a possibility that we missed it… You are really… lucky. From now on, when I see Brother Fang again, I am afraid I will have to call him Master.”

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

“No, no, it’s just a coincidence and luck…”

Fang Xi waved his hand.

This was also a character he intentionally created. After a few decades, the news of Fang Yuan’s foundation building could be passed back to Feiri City.

Then came the formation of the elixir and the condensation of the infant…it was like creating a vest out of nothing.

“To be on the safe side, you must bring the ‘Qiyun Gu’ with you the next time you assimilate. This Gu has the ability to conceal the secrets of heaven. It can forge a false identity in the secrets of heaven to avoid any problems caused by divination…”

Fang Xi took the few low-grade spirit stones given by Li Guangjin and walked out of the camp. He suddenly smiled and said, “You are all caring people…”

…

Two days later.

Fang Xi performed a secret technique, transformed into the image of ‘Shi Dingfeng’, controlled a beam of light, and flew into the mechanical city.

Tianmo Pavilion.

This attic is located in the center of the Machinery City. It is built entirely with a kind of black wood, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, exuding a simple and ancient atmosphere.

When Fang Xi walked in, he smelled a faint scent of green wood.

“My fellow Taoist, welcome to Tianmo Pavilion.”

Tianmo Pavilion is very large, but it seems very quiet at this moment. Rows of bookshelves are neatly arranged, and an old man with half black and half white hair and a goatee is reading a book.

When he saw Fang Xi coming in, he immediately put down the book and stood up to greet him.

“I want to buy a volume of skills!”

Fang Xi glanced at the ground, seeming a little surprised why there were so few people here.

“I wonder what kind of skills you need?”

The old man with a goatee stroked his beard and replied with some pride: “In this pavilion, although we may not have all kinds of skills, we should have the most abundant variety in the Land of Sunset.”

“A technique suitable for cultivators with wood spiritual roots… preferably at the Return to Void or Integration stage.”

Fang Xi originally wanted to ask if there were any Mahayana-level techniques, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was too far-fetched, so he gave up.

Even so, the old man on the other side almost pulled out his goatee: “A fusion-level technique? You really dare to imagine… This level of technique is qualified to be included in the auction held once every three hundred years in the Machinery City.”

However, the old man did not question Fang Xi’s cultivation and financial resources. He just shook his head and said, “I have collected a few wood-related exercises that can be cultivated to the Return to Void Realm…but the price is high, hehe…”

“I wonder how many spirit stones it will cost?”

Fang Xi asked.

“If we are talking purely in terms of spirit stones, this pavilion will only accept offers of top-grade spirit stones. Of course, if you have fairy jade, that would be even better.”

The old man with a goatee chuckled.

Fang Xi was silent for a while, now he knew why Tianmo Pavilion was so deserted.

One word… black!

Although he had never heard of the fairy jade, it was obviously more rare than the top-grade spirit stone.

However, he still planned to continue shopping. If anything went wrong, he would use the alias “Shi Dingfeng” to take over. At worst, he would not use it in the future.

“Take them all out and see…”

“good.”

The old man with a goatee went to the counter and soon came out with a tray.

There were several jade slips placed on the tray, some of which were even a little damaged, obviously quite old.

“‘Ten Thousand Woods Heavenly Wheel Art’, this skill has average power, but it is the most moderate and peaceful, and can be cultivated to the middle stage of Return to Void…”

“‘Longevity Technique’, this technique is good at maintaining health. Almost every realm can extend the lifespan by 10% to 20% compared to the cultivators of the same realm…”

“‘Wood Blade Technique’, which focuses on wood spiritual power and supplements gold spiritual power, has a miraculous effect when breaking through the bottleneck of returning to the void…”

The old man with the goatee introduced it with a smile, and when Fang Xi heard the description of the ‘Wood Blade Technique’, his expression could not help but slightly change.
