Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 64

[Chapter 64: Selling Stolen Goods (Congratulations to Hanyu for becoming the leader of the Xiangluan Alliance!)]

After leaving Tianxian Tower, Fang Xi was fully equipped, adjusted his mindset, and returned to Qingzhu Mountain.

The mountains are still lush and green, and the bamboos are still emerald green, but things have changed.

Fang Xi came to the shantytown where Ling Nong lived before, and saw broken walls and ruins everywhere, as if this place had been abandoned for a long time.

“Yes, it’s not safe outside the market, and there are no foundation-building cultivators to deter… How can there be spiritual farmers willing to come and farm?”

He sighed and found his cabin.

This place is also in ruins. It seems that a large number of houses have collapsed due to a fight.

Bang!
Fang Xi grabbed a beam and lifted it up violently.

His strength now was incredible, and when he exerted his strength, a large amount of wooden boards and rubble were lifted up, revealing broken tables, chairs, benches, and even some unknown broken bones.

“Alas… my home is gone.”

Fang Xi sighed and found the location of the cellar he had dug out.

The entrance to the passage had long been covered by a large amount of soil and looked no different from other places.

Fang Xi took out a machete and used it like a hoe, and soon dug up the original cellar.

“I left in a hurry and didn’t take any of my belongings with me…”

He went to the corner and dug out a small wine jar with familiarity.

After opening it, a sour smell came out.

“What a pity…”

Fang Xi glanced at the label. This was the control group he set up when he tried to make wine.

Now, coming back two years later, it can be confirmed that it has failed.

He continued to dig out wine jars and found that most of the spirit wines were like this, either the jars were broken or the taste was spoiled.

When a jar of spirit wine was opened, Fang Xi’s eyes lit up.

Snap!
The mud seal broke, and a scent of wine emanated from it.

“Is this… done?”

Fang Xi sighed, quickly looked at the label, and wrote down the original recipe.

He took a sip and frowned again: “It tastes terrible… The effect of the spiritual rice is almost gone.”

According to Fang Xi’s original idea, his spiritual rice wine should at least taste good and also have some of the functions of a fasting pill.

It turned out that he had thought of winemaking as being too simple.

“Alas…so many things in the past have become jokes…”

Fang Xi stroked the wall of the cellar, thinking of what happened that year, and his expression was dazed.

Then he raised the jar of wine and poured it into his mouth.

The taste of this wine was just average, even a little bitter, but it just fit his mood at the moment.

Ping pong!

After drinking it, Fang Xi threw the jar of wine away and let it hit the wall, exploding into countless pieces.

“Don’t come to this place anymore.”

After leaving the cellar, Fang Xi took one last look, turned around and strode away.

…

Qingzhushan Market.

Fang Xi raised his head and looked at the newly erected archway, feeling very sad.

Now, he has already turned into Fang Leng’s appearance, wearing a bamboo hat and a green robe to cover his body.

“Fellow Daoist, please come to our Qingzhu Market and pay a Spirit Crystal!”

Under the archway, there were two monks who were charging people who wanted to enter the market.

The cultivation base of these two cultivators was not high, they were only in the middle stage of Qi Refining. They wore green uniforms and had a circle of green bamboo marks on their chests, indicating that they were members of the ‘Green Bamboo Society’.

“In the past, Qingzhushan Market was free of charge…”

Fang Xi secretly complained in his heart, but did not refute anything. He followed the local customs, paid a spirit crystal, and received a bamboo and wooden seal as a mark.

“This token can only stay in the formation for twelve hours. If it exceeds the time limit, it will inevitably cause the formation to counterattack!”

When handing over the seal, the cultivator from the Qingzhu Society gave a reminder.

“I know!”

Fang Xi clasped his fists, hung the seal around his waist, and walked into the formation behind the archway.

“This formation… should also be a second-level formation, but I can’t recognize it…”

Although Fang Xi studied “The Beginning of Formation” diligently, it was a pity that he was not even a first-class low-grade formation master now, let alone recognizing the origin of the formation that guarded the market town.

All we can be sure of is that it is not the previous ‘Sky Blue Water Formation’.

“The Qingzhu Society was able to obtain a second-level mountain protection formation. They really have some connections…”

It didn’t take long before Fang Xi arrived inside the market.

As soon as you enter, all kinds of noisy and lively sounds hit you.

Looking around, he saw that the layout of Qingzhushan Market had changed greatly. Two more streets had been built along the previous main street, and the stall square had been doubled in size, making it look more grand.

“The leader of the Green Bamboo Society seems to be a man of great strategy.”

Fang Xi made a secret judgment in his heart.

In the past two years, one after another foundation-building families have fallen, and many major forces have been reshuffled, but a lot of good things have flowed out.

There are even rumors that some independent cultivators have successfully established their foundations by taking advantage of this rare opportunity!

The Qingzhu Society occupied Qingzhu Mountain and turned the original market into a black market, which did attract quite a bit of traffic.

However, most of the monks who were doing the trading were wearing masks and were full of evil spirits, and they did not seem like good people.

“It seems… I’m not a gentleman…”

Fang Xi touched his cheek and took a general tour of the market to get a rough idea of the price changes of magic tools, talismans, and elixirs.

Then, start paying close attention to several places suitable for selling stolen goods.

Well, when the Qingzhu Mountain Market was destroyed, he also gained something.

The youngest of the three Kou villains had a lot of good things in his storage bag.

For example, if you can’t use the ‘Jinsui Pills’ yourself, you naturally have to take the opportunity to sell them.

Moreover, Fang Xi, the Three Bags Elder, also had two storage bags on him, which were filled with some monster materials collected over the years.

“The Tianfu Palace is gone, and so is the Baiqiao Tower… The foundation-building forces behind these two houses suffered heavy losses in the previous battle at the Black Water Pond, so this is normal…”

Behind Baiqiao Tower is the Qi family, a foundation-building family. One of their great foundation-building masters died. The Shen family behind Tianfu Palace is even more miserable, as they have been exterminated.

However, Mingqing Pavilion is still there. Fang Xi remembered that Fairy Yunmeng seemed to be surnamed Xu, and she was from the Qingye Xu family!

The Qingye Xu family is the foundation-building force behind the Mingqing Pavilion.

But at this moment, Fang Xi had no intention of going for tea.

When he thought of Fairy Yunmeng, he couldn’t help but think of Shen Haoran. Oh, this guy is probably doomed.

There are also Chen Ping, Lu Zhi, Master Jiuxuan, Di Qi…

No one knows what happened to these former friends now.

Fang Xi sighed, then calmed himself down and, based on his experience, walked into the largest and most luxurious shop.

The name of this shop is ‘Wanhailou’. He has already found out that the Song family is behind it!
The Song family is very famous in Yue State. It is the leader of all the immortal cultivation families. Its power is only second to Xuantian Sect!
Other foundation-building families must add a prefix to distinguish them from other families with the same surname.

As for the Song family, there is only one in Yue State!
It is said that there is a great elder in the Song family who has completed the foundation building! In addition, there are more than five foundation building cultivators!
It is precisely because of this confidence that even the orders of Xuantian Sect can be resisted, and a lot of gains were made in the last operation to wipe out Hongye Valley and Situ Family.

“The bigger the power, the more it values its own credibility… Before encountering huge benefits, it is still barely trustworthy.”

“The threshold of the Song family is at least a little higher than that of Baiqiao Tower, right?”

With this thought in mind, Fang Xi walked into Wanhai Tower.

“Sir, what do you want? We in Wanhai Tower have everything, from magic weapons and elixirs to magic talismans, formations, and even magic pet furnaces and tripods!”

A waiter in a sky blue gown immediately came to greet them.

“Someone wants to sell something, let someone you have a say in come.”

Fang Xi glanced around the environment in Wanhai Tower and frowned again: “Also… this place is too messy and noisy.”

“Sir, please go to the private room on the second floor.”

The waiter immediately followed suit and took Fang Xi to the second floor, into a special private room.

The private room was very large, and the incense burner on the table was emitting calming incense rising from it.

Not long after, a maid came in and served spiritual tea.

“The Song family is indeed quite wealthy.”

Fang Xi smelled it and felt that the magic power in his body was slightly fluctuating, and he couldn’t help but sigh.

However, he still had no entrance.

After an incense stick of time, the door opened again, and a male cultivator wearing a sea-blue robe, a jade crown, and sharp eyebrows and bright eyes walked in. He bowed first and said, “My name is Song Qing. May I know the name of this fellow Taoist?”

“I am Fang Leng!”

Fang Xi responded coldly.

“So it’s Fellow Daoist Fang. I wonder what advice you have for me in Wanhai Tower?” Song Qing had obviously received special training in how to treat people, and his every move was quite polite.

But there is a hint of arrogance between his brows.

This is normal, after all, he is a member of the Song family.

Besides, the monks just fall for this kind of thing.

“Come and sell some things, and buy some things at the same time.”

After the third level of body training, according to Linghu Shan, Daliang’s martial arts had no way to advance, so Fang Xi had to turn around in time.

And considering his miserable spiritual roots, if he wants to improve the ‘Eternal Spring Technique’, he will probably have to take drugs.

“Oh, then I’m going to broaden my horizons today.”

Song Qing sat down, took a sip of the spiritual tea, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Then, he saw Fang Xi take out a medicine bottle from the storage bag and put it on the table.

Song Qing picked up the medicine bottle, opened it and smelled it: “Hmm… a first-grade superior elixir – Golden Spike Pill, suitable for cultivators with golden spiritual roots in the late stage of Qi Refining to increase their mana. One pill is worth twenty lower-grade spiritual stones. Here are five of them, with intact medicinal properties. This building can buy them for ninety spiritual stones. What do you think, fellow Daoist?”

“Can.”

Fang Xi thought about it, then took out some spiritual materials from the storage bag and disposed of them.

When the third brother of the Kou family killed people and stole treasures, he probably took a lot of miscellaneous things. Fang Xi had no use for them, so he simply sold them all.

After Song Qing identified them one by one, the total amount was about sixty-five spirit stones.

“In this case… the total amount I owe you is 155 low-grade spirit stones.”

Song Qing finished counting, and with a flick of his sleeves, he collected the Golden Spike Pills and other items, leaving only a pile of colorful low-grade spirit stones on the table: “Fellow Daoist, can you count them and see if the number is correct?”

Fang Xi nodded and began to count the items in a very methodical manner.

Seeing this scene, Song Qing smiled even more: “I wonder what you want to buy in this building? In this building, there are all kinds of rare treasures, which should be able to meet your needs.”
