Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 82

[Chapter 81 Peach Blossom Island Master (asking for monthly ticket)]

Six months later.

Treasure Ship Market.

Fang Xi disguised himself as a hunchbacked old man and walked out of Longmen Pavilion with an arrogant look on his face.

Zhong Wangu behind him looked respectful and bowed to see him off.

During this period of time, he has been disguising himself as various people and dealing with the materials of Old One-Eyed Man, King Dapeng and the other seven demon kings of Dingzhou.

By the way, he also consumed food in Longmen Pavilion many times in different images.

“The Body of Ten Thousand Beasts” and the inheritance of talisman making were all taken.

After all, once you go to plant trees you will be stuck in one place for many years, so you need to make all the necessary preparations.

Thinking of “The Body of Ten Thousand Beasts”, Fang Xi’s expression became gloomy again.

This orthodox body-refining technique of the immortals is not only extremely difficult, but also consumes a terrifying amount of resources.

This technique has four levels!

It takes dozens of spirit stones to refine the first level. After it is completed, one will become a cultivator of the first level of body refinement, which can rival the early stage of Qi refinement.

But to reach the second level, one needs medicinal soup containing more than a hundred spirit stones, as well as the essence and blood of various monsters to temper the body.

The third level requires nearly a thousand spirit stones, and one can practice the “secret method of transforming into a beast”, but it is not only difficult, but also extremely easy to go astray.

As for the final fourth floor…

“You actually want the blood of a specific second-level monster… How can I get it?”

“And this is a huge expense. No wonder physical cultivators are all poor! The third level costs nearly a thousand spirit stones, what about the fourth level?”

“I have cultivated the Hunyuan Zhengong to the point of ‘Qi Guanquan Shen’, and the total amount of pills I have swallowed is no more than 200 Lingshi!”

Fang Xi thought a little depressed.

Fortunately, he acquired this body-refining technique just for reference with Hunyuan Zhengong.

He has a lot of research on the “True Energy Transformation” from the Grandmasters’ Association, plus his own know-how of the fourth level of body refining.

Fang Xi also had some ideas about the subsequent breakthrough of his Hunyuan Zhengong.

“But I’d better not come to Longmen Pavilion anymore… Although I have tried to prolong the time, it is still a bit eye-catching…”

After walking around the market for a few times and making sure that he was not being followed, Fang Xi left the Treasure Ship Market.

After changing back to his original appearance, he changed direction, stepped on the ‘Qinghe Sword’, and flew back to his cave in a low-key manner.

At the entrance of the cave, a sound transmission note was floating beside the door, emitting a faint spiritual light.

“Um?”

Fang Xi’s expression changed, and he reached out and grabbed the sound transmission note in his hand.

After injecting a bit of mana, the voice of the old Taoist Xiumu came out: “Fang Daoist… the party is about to begin, you can come to the teahouse tomorrow to gather.”

“It seems… this old Taoist priest has found another way?”

Fang Xi looked thoughtful.

…

The next day.

Inside the teahouse box.

Fang Xi walked in and found that there were already several people sitting there.

Of course, Taoist Xiumu knew him. Besides him, there were three other monks, one man and two women.

One of the female cultivators had an ordinary appearance. She wore a peach-colored palace dress and had two silver bells wrapped around her left wrist.

The other man and woman looked intimate, and seemed to be a Taoist couple.

“Everyone, this is Fellow Daoist Fang Xifang!”

Taoist Xiumu introduced the three people with a smile, and then said to Fang Xi: “This is Daoist Ruan Xingling, a first-class mid-grade weapon refiner, and these two are the virtuous couple Wei Yixin and Hua Chanjuan!”

“Greetings, three of you!”

Fang Xi had a gentle smile on his face. After sitting down, he looked at the three people calmly.

Ruan Xingling’s cultivation level is the seventh level of Qi Refining, which is the late stage of Qi Refining. She is also a weapon refiner. Regardless of her status and identity, she is the highest among everyone and sits in the main seat.

She has an ordinary appearance, but her skin is fair, delicate and shiny, and she naturally has a gentle temperament like a beautiful girl next door.

In fact, the higher the level of cultivation of immortals, the more handsome men and beautiful women they will be as their skills break through and their muscles and marrow are constantly being strengthened.

Especially the breakthrough in a higher realm can achieve the same effect as plastic surgery.

However, there are also some monks who do the opposite and deliberately preserve or even uglify their faces to show that they are devoted to Taoism and do not engage in romantic affairs.

In comparison, Hua Chanjuan has a pair of bright eyes and a sweet smile. Her appearance is much better than Ruan Xingling, but her temperament is far inferior.

She and her Taoist partner Wei Yixin both have reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. Wei Yixin is dressed in black, with a stern expression and a resolute face, and one can tell at first glance that he is a tenacious person.

“Everyone…”

Taoist Xiumu looked around and said with a smile: “I won’t keep you in suspense. I asked you to come here today because the request of Daoist Fellow Fang and Daoist Fellow Wei has finally been made… Daoist Fellow Ruan, what do you think of these three?”

Ruan Xingling nodded and said slowly: “I am naturally confident in the people introduced by Daoist Xiumu. These three Daoists are all in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and their cultivation is barely enough… But, it seems that there is still one person missing!”

The old Taoist Xiumu smiled unchanged: “Fellow Daoist, what do you think of me? To be honest… I want to move my old bones a little bit!”

“If Daoist Xiumu is also willing to help, then I will have no problem.”

Ruan Xingling seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of joy flashed across her face.

“Ahem… Fellow Daoist Xiumu, what on earth is going on?” Fang Xi made a slight guess, but still frowned in dissatisfaction.

“Haha, I was negligent… Fellow Daoist Fang, haven’t you always wanted to cultivate a large area of spiritual land?” The old Taoist Xiumu said with a hint of respect: “This Fellow Daoist Ruan is the owner of Peach Blossom Island!”

“Peach Blossom Island?”

Fang Xi was stunned for a moment, then he recalled the geographical atlas of Wandao Lake and had a vague impression that it seemed to be one of the thirty-six islands.

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

But the island owner’s surname seems to be Lu, not Ruan.

“Thank you for your praise, Brother Xiumu. I am just a stray dog…” A bitter smile appeared on Ruan Xingling’s face.

After the old Taoist Xiumu explained it again, Fang Xi roughly understood it.

This Ruan Xingling is the daughter of the former owner of Peach Blossom Island.

There is a first-level spiritual vein on Taohua Island, which was discovered and occupied by the ancestors of the Ruan family hundreds of years ago. Then, generation after generation, it branched out and formed a small Qi-refining-level cultivation family – Taohua Ruan!
But decades ago, the bloodline of the main family of Taohua Island was thin, and even several generations of male descendants did not have spiritual root qualifications.

After the great elder of the Ruan family, who was in the late Qi Refining stage, passed away, the family suffered a series of disasters and lost several members in the Qi Refining stage.

Seeing this, a monk named Lu among the hired guest officials took the opportunity to rebel together with others, almost wiped out the entire Ruan family, and openly occupied the entire island.

Fortunately, there is still a direct descendant of the Ruan family, and that is Ruan Xingling.

This girl was traveling when her family met with the accident. She was only at the initial stage of Qi Refining at that time, so she could only flee far away in tears, leaving her hometown.

It was not until recently when he broke through to the late stage of his cultivation that he developed the desire for revenge and returned to Wandao Lake.

“After the matter is done, Fairy Ruan is willing to share Peach Blossom Island with us. The Wei couple are tired of fighting and want to retire to the countryside and start a family. Peach Blossom Island has two peaks and a lake, so it’s just right to give one mountain to the Wei couple. As for the other mountain, I will accept it without hesitation. As for Fairy Ruan, she will naturally sit in the main vein Jingyue Lake and be the owner of Peach Blossom Island!”

Taoist Xiumu smiled and looked at Fang Xi: “As for Fellow Daoist Fang… There is another ‘Emerald Cliff’ on Peach Blossom Island, which is a branch of the first-level spiritual vein on the island. Although the spiritual energy is not of the highest quality, there is still room for developing more than ten acres of spiritual fields. Fairy Ruan is willing to rent it to Fellow Daoist for a hundred years without charging spiritual stones, as long as you can lend a helping hand this time.”

After hearing what the old Taoist Xiumu said, Fang Xi was speechless.

“A person at the fourth level of Qi Refining has no human rights, right? I am just making up the numbers, right?”

“You all have higher cultivation than me, right? Why don’t you come down and give it a try? I’ll let you guys do it!”

However, he soon calmed down and carefully thought about the pros and cons of the whole matter.

This kind of thing can be confirmed true or false just by asking, so Ruan Xingling’s identity as the daughter of the former island owner should be true.

At this moment, Fang Xi was actually a little scared:
“It was a close call. I almost took the script from that Lu…”

“This is a lesson. When you kill an enemy in the future, you must root it out completely, otherwise there will be endless troubles!”

“However, a 100-year lease for a piece of inferior spiritual land is indeed good and worth a try!”

‘etc……’

Fang Xi looked at Xiumu: “Fellow Daoist Xiumu, are you going to take action too?”

“Yes…” The old Taoist Xiumu smiled bitterly, “I often hear you insisting on this, and I have some thoughts myself. After all, being the owner of an island, farming and raising fish, and living a carefree life is better than relying on your old face to make a living in the market. Besides… I am almost at the end of my life, so I have to consider the future generations.”

Fang Xi secretly despised this old man, and asked Ruan Xingling: “Fellow Daoist Ruan… when that Lu was violent, did you not file a complaint? Or did the Thirty-Six Islands Alliance not care?”

Ruan Xingling smiled bitterly and replied: “The Thirty-Six Islands Alliance has a loose structure, and there are even blood feuds between members… It is also common for them to attack each other. As long as it is not the Dragon Fish Zhong family that attacks, everything will be fine… Back then, my Ruan family naturally had several in-laws, but after that Lu robbed my family’s resources, he actually broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining very quickly, and forcibly married a daughter of the Ruan family’s side branch, and became the island owner as a son-in-law. The Feng family of Baiyu Island and the Mo family of Heisha Island did not take action…”

“It’s really bizarre and tortuous…”

Fang Xi sighed and commented in his heart: “The temple is small but the evil spirits are strong; the water is shallow but there are many turtles…”

“Today, I ask you all to help me with my revenge. I am willing to swear an oath to my demons that I will fulfill my promise.”

Ruan Xingling stood up and bowed to everyone.

When she moved, the bells hanging on her hands jingled, making people’s minds become a little calmer.

“Please rest assured, fellow Taoist, it is our duty as cultivators to eliminate evil and promote good!”

Wei Yixin was the first to make the promise.

“I will definitely lend a helping hand to you!” The old Taoist Xiumu was murderous: “To be honest… I have some connections in the Thirty-Six Islands. If you want to avenge me with your bloodline, as long as you kill that guy named Lu, no one will be able to say anything!”

“Well… I wonder how strong the Peach Blossom Island bandits are now?” Fang Xi asked a little embarrassedly.

“That ‘Lu Jingqing’ broke through the eighth level of Qi Refining a few years ago, and he has four people in the middle stage of Qi Refining under him…”

Ruan Xingling told the truth: “When the time comes, I will hand Lu Jingqing over to me, and I will leave those subordinates to you!”
