Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 75

[Chapter 75: Rotten Wood (Congratulations to Elvin for becoming the Silver Leader in 2016!)]

Dang!
The emerald snake drill, which was as powerful as a top-grade magic weapon, was about to pierce Fang Xi’s forehead.

The next moment, a red light suddenly appeared from Fang Xi’s forehead, like a helmet.

The poisonous horn penetrated into the helmet, making a loud noise, and then bounced away!

“How is that possible?”

“Could it be that he has hidden a top-grade defensive magic weapon? But where is the magic power to activate it?”

Miao Dong’s face changed drastically.

At this moment, a smile appeared on Fang Xi’s face.

He let out a light shout, and his body jumped out like a snake or python. He took eight steps on the water surface and came in front of Miao Dong.

“Secret Technique: Hunyuan Wuji!”

Fang Xi raised his hand, and the Qi surged, smashing down like thunder!
Boom!

The golden-backed turtle screamed, and the water shield exploded, turning into water vapor all over the sky.

Fang Xi continued to attack with the same force, and threw another punch, hitting Miao Dong’s forehead before he could dodge!
Bang!
The man’s head suddenly exploded like a watermelon, and red and white blood flowed all over the ground.

“Hiss!”

“hold head high!”

Qing’er, who was chasing Fang Xi from behind, let out a mournful cry and also lost her breath.

Even the golden-backed turtle under Fang Xi’s feet let out a scream and died instantly!

The contract between the beastmaster and the monster is usually of slavery nature. Once the beastmaster dies, the monster will inevitably die… Unless it is not a blood contract, but a beast control card or other means, or the beastmaster takes the initiative to cancel the contract, otherwise it will definitely die!
“You thought I was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, but you didn’t know that I’m at the third level of Body Refining, which can rival the late stage of Qi Refining…”

Fang Xi sighed and began to clean up the battlefield.

The Golden-backed Turtle and the Water Crow are both first-rank low-grade monsters, and there is also a first-rank mid-grade Green-blooded Python, which are also worth a lot of spirit stones, but it is not easy to sell them in the Treasure Ship Market.

In mid-air, the Golden Dragon Sword pressed down the black claw and landed in Fang Xi’s hand.

Fang Xi took a look and found that the black claw of this mid-grade magic weapon was already scarred and on the verge of being scrapped. He couldn’t help but sigh.

His black iron shield was also corroded by the Green Blood Python’s poisonous mist, and the surface became bumpy and half-wasted.

“If there is no income, this time the loss is huge.”

Finally, Fang Xi took a storage bag from Miao Dong, destroyed the body, gathered the little magic power he had barely recovered, and left on the Black Cloud Bag.

…

There are numerous islands scattered across Wandao Lake, especially deserted islands without any spiritual energy, which can be found almost everywhere.

Fang Xi chose a place and opened up a secret cave.

In the cave.

He took out Miao Dong’s storage bag, spent quite a bit of time erasing its magic imprint, and then poured it to the ground.

Crash!
A large amount of debris emerged.

In addition to some clothes, there were mainly a large number of bottles and jars. Fang Xi checked and found that they might be food for the three spirit beasts.

In addition, there are dozens of spirit stones and some low-level talismans.

There was also a piece of animal skin with many symbols written in blood on it. It was the ‘Blood Contract’!
“It seems that the beastmaster is also very poor. He probably spent all his belongings on his spirit pet…”

Fang Xi felt a little emotional.

In fact, Miao Dong’s strength is really good. Even if he encounters a cultivator of the seventh level of Qi Refining, he can still deal with him with the cooperation of his spirit pet.

Unfortunately, he showed weakness to the enemy and was dragged into the trap step by step.

The Daliang Qixue martial arts aura and external characteristics are different from those of the physical practitioners in the Southern Wilds, and are extremely easy to be overlooked, which just happens to be Fang Xi’s trump card.

He looked at the last few jade slips and books and read them one by one.

“‘Geography of Wandao Lake’? What a good thing…”

“Golden Water Technique? Is it suitable for cultivators with golden and water spiritual roots? Gold and water complement each other, so it seems to be a little better than the common stuff?”

“The Records of the Kingdom of Yue? I’ve already read it…”

Fang Xi looked at a few jade slips, but did not find any beast-taming inheritance, and could not help feeling a little disappointed.

Fortunately, he was not a person who wanted everything to be perfect, so he flipped through a few books at random:

“I got a green-blood snake egg by chance. I named it Qing’er. I used ‘Passion Snake Fruit’, ‘Wood Spirit Liquid’… and spiritual stone powder to make a spiritual liquid and soaked it… It will hatch in one month…”

“In February, the water crow was greedy and brought back a ‘Fragrant Carp’ and gave up the ‘Jade Carp’. As a punishment, it was not allowed to eat for three days…”

…

On the yellowed pages, there was a record of Miao Dong raising three spirit pets!
This was a beast control log!
“Although there is no inheritance, most of the methods of raising three types of spirit beasts are also included in it… Can it be put together into an incomplete inheritance?”

Fang Xi touched his chin and felt that he had made no loss.

…

Half a month later.

Fang Xi went to Treasure Ship Island in a low-key manner, hid in the mortal towns for a few days, changed several places, and finally came to the entrance of Treasure Ship Market with Fang Xi’s true face.

“Master Immortal, do you need a guide?”

Another group of local natives gathered around, including Mo Qingyi, and they seemed to have no idea what had happened to Miao Dong.

“How many spirit stones?”

Fang Xi had a youthful look on his face, and he was wearing a patched green robe that had been repaired. It was obvious that he was not very rich.

“Only one spirit crystal a day!”

“It’s too expensive, no no!”

Hearing this, Fang Xi immediately shook his head and went into the market town.

“Alas…it seems that this immortal master is short of money and will not be able to do business today.”

Many guides lamented.

…

There is a teahouse in the market town.

This was the place for information exchange that Mo Qingyi introduced to Fang Xi before he came here.

After entering the teahouse, Fang Xi ordered a pot of spiritual tea and stared in a daze at the white mist rising from the teacup.

In the tea soup, pieces of tea leaves glowed and transformed into colorful little fishes, playing and chasing each other.

“The spiritual energy contained in this tea is just average. The store can only work hard on the taste and novelty…”

Fang Xi is now a completely different person. After checking carefully and making sure there is no problem, he took a sip.

A small black fish disappeared, causing the other small fish to swim faster.

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

At this time, I heard a man and a woman at the next table say, “The market has been a bit uneasy lately… I heard that several Taoists have gone missing. It’s probably the work of the ‘Kou Family Twins’ again.”

“There were originally three brothers in the Kou family, but later on the youngest one died for some unknown reason. They couldn’t make it in Qingzhu Mountain, so they came here to torment us. How despicable!”

Another purple-faced man seemed to know something about the inside story and said angrily.

Fang Xi’s first reaction after hearing this was – ‘Are you here to seek revenge on me?’

But he quickly came to his senses. The third brother of the Kou family was killed by Situ Qingqing. Situ Qingqing only knew that he was saved by a strange physical cultivator. What does it have to do with a weak and poor spiritual farmer like him?
“It’s better not to take out the Golden Dragon Sword openly, and the three-sided storage bag…”

“It just so happens that the character I gave Fang Xi, the spiritual farmer, is a poor fellow, and I was going to exchange the magic weapon for the Qinghe Sword…”

Fang Xi thought about it and found that there was no flaw in this identity, so he lowered his head and casually fiddled with those spiritual little fish.

I listened to a lot of gossip that day and added spring water several times until the little fish in the teacup became blurry.

Fang Xi then stood up and walked in front of an old man in Taoist robes.

The old man had gray hair, a neatly combed goatee, and bright eyes.

Seeing Fang Xi coming over, he immediately smiled and said, “What question does this Taoist want to ask? I am quite well-informed about various secret channels in the market and even the news of Wandao Lake.”

This old Taoist priest was actually a ‘busybody’, but he must have known a lot more secrets than a mortal like Mo Qingyi.

Therefore, there is a fee.

“I know the rules. Let’s go to the private room and order a pot of the best ‘Qingming Manyu’!”

Fang Xi nodded and followed the old Taoist to the private room of the teahouse.

After entering, the outside sounds are immediately cut off, obviously equipped with soundproofing restrictions.

To use a private room like this, you need at least one spirit stone.

But when Fang Xi took a look at the so-called “Qingming Rain”, he found that it was just tea that mortals drink, and the corners of his mouth twitched immediately.

This flower spirit stone is not used to buy tea, but information!

“I am the Taoist of the Decayed Wood. I wonder what this young friend wants to ask you?”

Taoist Xiumu bowed politely.

“You are too polite, my name is Xia Fangxi, and I am just a spiritual farmer in Qingzhu Mountain Market…”

Fang Xi was very frank, and asked with some pain in his heart: “I came to Wandao Lake this time just to find a quiet place to practice hard. I wonder if you have any recommendations?”

“So you are actually a dedicated practitioner!” Old Taoist Xiumu was a little surprised and asked, “What force would you like to join? Many families and sects have been recruiting spiritual farmers for a long time.”

“No, I really don’t want to be constrained anymore.”

Fang Xi replied with a wry smile.

“How about renting a cave in a market town for a long time?” The old Taoist Xiumu made another suggestion.

“Well… I actually want a bigger spiritual field. I’ve been a tenant for a long time, and now I want to be a landlord.” Fang Xi said what he was thinking. If he wants to plant trees, doesn’t he need a bigger piece of land?

“A large spiritual field, landlord…” The corners of the old Taoist Xiumu’s mouth twitched, and he understood Fang Xi’s needs. “So you want to find an ownerless spiritual land, or even become an island owner? Unfortunately… ownerless spiritual islands were very common hundreds of years ago, but in the past ten years, I have rarely heard of any Taoists finding one.”

“That’s a pity…”

Fang Xi shook his head, looking quite regretful.

“You don’t need to feel sorry, fellow Daoist. The Dragon Fish Zhong clan occasionally releases some islands with inferior spiritual veins to independent cultivators for long-term rental. It’s always an opportunity… or if some Daoists on the spiritual islands want to recruit people to join, they will also offer generous conditions. It is possible to rent a large area of spiritual land for a long time, and some people can even become the second or third island owner directly… If you are interested, you can leave a message here, and I will keep an eye out for you.”

“Thank you, Taoist Priest.”

Fang Xi was moved after hearing this, and thanked him sincerely, and then asked: “Where in the market can I buy a formation for sale? I want to buy a set to protect my cave…”

“There is one in Longmen Pavilion, the highest grade is the first-class upper-grade ‘Cloud and Mist Thunder Formation’… There is also a formation master living in this city, his surname is Xu. As long as you pay enough, you can ask him to make a move, and he can at most set up a first-class middle-grade formation…”

The old Taoist Xiumu said with a smile.

As for the second-level formation? Like the second-level forbidden-breaking talisman, it is a strategic material. If you are not a big force, there is no channel for trading.

Fang Xi asked a few more questions and finally turned the topic to the foundation-building techniques of Longmen Pavilion.

Taoist Xiumu shook his head repeatedly: “How can those foundation-building immortals give us truly good techniques? Most of the techniques they release are mediocre or even very difficult… Especially those body-refining techniques, most of them are traps. They claim that one can be as good as a foundation-building cultivator after practicing to the extreme, but in fact there are many bottlenecks. Most of them are difficult to break through even the third level of body-refining…”

There was bitterness in his tone: “Body refining consumes too many resources. Instead of consuming hundreds or thousands of spirit stones, which may not necessarily lead to the third level of body refining, it is better to save them and go to Bai Ze Xiancheng to auction a foundation-building pill!”

“In Bai Ze Xian City, there is actually an auction of Foundation Establishment Pills? I wonder how much it will cost?”

Fang Xi’s eyes lit up.

“It has happened in several large auctions, with a starting price of 3,000 Spiritual Stones, and there is no upper limit… Besides, being able to buy it is nothing, holding on to it is a real skill.”

The old Taoist Xiumu answered meaningfully.

Obviously, after each round of Foundation Establishment Pill auction, there will inevitably be several rounds of bloody storms!
Just thinking about it makes people feel chilling!
