Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 227

[227. Chapter 227: Cultivation (asking for monthly ticket)]

Three Python Mountains.

The terrain is like three pythons, gathered together.

The ‘Snake Head Peak’ in the middle belongs to the main branch of the Yun family and is inhabited by the Yun family.

In addition, a large number of caves and spiritual fields were opened up in the ‘Snake Peak’ and ‘Snake Tail Peak’… most of them were rented out, and a small part was inhabited by the side branches of the Cloud System.

This day.

The meeting hall of Snake Head Peak.

Several elders of the Yun family were present, and they all felt helpless as they watched their clansmen crying below.

They are all old foundation-building warriors who are around 150 or 160 years old. They have basically no hope of forming a pill, and they can’t even try to make a fake pill. They have long given up cultivation and are concentrating on cultivating the various arts or handling family chores.

But the Yun family has been spreading for thousands of years, and there are countless people of all kinds.

If only those with spiritual roots were required to be included in the family tree, there might not be enough family trees.

The Yun family now has thirteen branches, and they fight for power and profit every day, which is very annoying.

“Uncle Lie, you have to take charge of our Ninth Branch. Those rude people from the Third Branch took advantage of the night to move the boundary marker a full zhang away…”

Uncle Lie of the Yun family had two tumors on his head, which looked like a pair of flesh horns. Looking at the old man practicing Qi who was crying below, he felt depressed.

“Before, your little four severely injured Yun Zhi from the third room…”

“Now, they are taking revenge.”

“If a fight really breaks out, the third room won’t be easy to mess with.”

He pulled out the pipe from his waist, scolded the man casually, and sent him away.

Not long after, another foundation-building cultivator walked into the meeting hall. She was wearing a purple-red dress, was short in stature, and had a delicate face. She was the elder of the third branch of the clan: “Everyone… The Supreme Elder led the clan head and others to the front line. We must keep an eye on the rear.”

“You mean you want me to endure this trivial matter and suffer this loss?”

The elder of the Lie clan from the ninth room sneered and knocked his pipe aside.

“alright.”

At this time, an old man who looked intimidating without getting angry suddenly said, “All of you, be quiet…”

His magic power has actually reached the late stage of foundation building: “Now there are great threats outside, and people are not united inside. Isn’t it a joke for nothing? The Daluo League is eyeing us covetously…”

Having said this, all the elders fell silent.

The previous Grand Elder failed in forming an elixir, and in order to raise spirit stones he rented out the mountain, which was a disgrace to the entire family.

Even the family’s decline began from that time.

It was fine at the beginning, but later, as the independent cultivators formed cliques and factions, and their relationship with the Xuantian Sect gradually became distant, those people actually began to think of turning the tables.

The most prominent among them is the ‘Daluo League’, which is an alliance of many independent cultivators, and its leader has reached the false dan stage.

If it had not been the time of the great war between good and evil, the supreme elder of his family would have risked his reputation and sent out all the elite troops of the Yun family to bring the leader of the Daluo Alliance, Luo Tian, to the front line. Otherwise, the two families might have started a war.

But after withdrawing a large number of high-level combat forces, the two sides continued to quarrel privately.

“Snake Peak has been almost completely occupied by the Daluo League… Now that things have come to this, according to the previous plan of the Supreme Elder, we should focus on managing the Snake Tail Peak, bring in other foundation-building cultivators, form an alliance with them, and fight against the Daluo League… Humph, the Daluo League is fine, the key is the people behind it, those families are probably our former relatives… They all covet the spiritual veins of the Three Python Peaks.”

Just as a group of elders were cursing those Jindan families, an elder hurried in.

“Twelve Elders, why are you in such a hurry?”

The elder of the third branch, the female foundation-building master, asked with a smile.

“Dealing with a small matter… A cultivator in the late foundation building stage has arrived and is planning to rent a cave residence. He has been arranged to stay at Snake Tail Peak.”

The twelfth elder was a plump middle-aged man who was always smiling and looked like a wealthy man. He said with a smile, “He is quite wealthy. He rented the best third-level cave house and paid ten years’ rent in one go!”

“The late stage of foundation building… Could it be that he is preparing to form a pill?”

The expression of the Jiufang clan elder moved slightly.

It’s not that there aren’t independent cultivators who use the spiritual veins of the Three Python Mountains to build their foundations and form their elixirs…but most of them fail.

The last person who barely succeeded was Luo Tian from the Great Luo Alliance…

“It shouldn’t be…”

The twelfth elder thought about it carefully and shook his head: “I have used mystical techniques to check this person, and he is still far from perfecting his foundation…”

…

Snaketail Peak.

“Although it’s a little worse than the Heavenly Sword Sect’s spiritual vein, it’s still acceptable… barely acceptable.”

Fang Xing took a look at his own cave, and immediately slapped his storage bag. Out flew out formation flags and formation plates, and he set up the formation.

This time, he planned to directly set up a set of quasi-third-level formations outside, and use the quasi-fourth-level formation he had just acquired inside.

This way, no one will be able to disturb your practice.

When the elixir is formed, I will guard it with my original body, and even if Yuanying Zhenjun attacks, I will be able to resist for a while.

After arranging everything, he was too lazy to flatter the neighbors and went straight into the retreat room, sitting cross-legged.

As soon as he raised his hand, many “millennium stone milk” emerged, as well as a large number of jade bottles filled with top-grade elixirs.

The number of them was so large that many foundation-building cultivators of the Yun family could not even imagine it.

“First, practice until the foundation is complete.”

Fang Xing picked up a bottle of thousand-year-old stone milk, sprinkled it on his body lavishly, swallowed another pill, and began to practice with rapid progress…

…

Blue star.

Villa No. 69, Blue Sea District.

Fang Xing, who had completed the achievement of beating his opponent, walked out of the virtual cabin refreshed.

“According to the ranking of the ‘Federation Holographic Universe Company’, I have entered the top 100,000… I have accumulated dozens of evil spirit crystals as rewards… If I win the next game, I should get a Tiangang stone as a reward…”

“You don’t have to rush too far. It’s time to stop once you reach the 10,000th place.”

“Maybe there really is a Martial Saint or Martial God frying fish ahead…”

Fang Xing was thinking when he suddenly received a communication request.

“Gu Duan? The project group supervisor?”

He glanced at the notes and connected the communication with some confusion.

“Fang Xing, I’ve read your previous papers… You have some ideas on how to simplify the Tathagata Palm.”

Gu Duan said in a gentle tone, “When Elder Nie recommended you before, I thought you were not good enough, but now it seems that my vision was too narrow…”

“I’m just daydreaming.” Fang Xing smiled.

As for martial arts, you will learn it if you practice it a few times.

The Tathagata Palm is actually quite simple.

“I have converted your contribution points into evil spirit crystals and sent them to you by express delivery… I contacted you this time because of another situation. Did you participate in the interstellar martial arts competition?”

Gu Duan’s expression became very solemn.

“I participated…”

Fang Xing nodded.

“Then have you noticed a contestant named ‘Meteor’? I watched his fight video… His palm technique is definitely a big step forward in simplifying the Tathagata Palm!”

Gu Duan seemed very excited and sent several familiar-looking videos.

Fang Xing was speechless. The scene on the screen showed himself using moves such as the Heaven Covering Hand and Five Finger Mountain to beat up opponents from the other six realms.

“Hmm… this palm technique does have some shadows of Tathagata Palm!”

He looked at it for a few seconds and said in a pretentious manner.

In fact, Fang Xing had already completed most of the simplification of the Tathagata Palm, and then handed over a little bit of ideas to Gu Duan as homework.

In comparison, ‘Meteor’ reveals more.

“Your task now is to carefully observe this Meteor contestant and study his palm techniques… It would be best if we could recruit him into our research group.”

Gu Duan said: “If you can do this, I will reward you with Tiangang Stone!”

“Yes, teacher, I will work hard.”

Fang Xing’s face was suddenly filled with excitement.

After the communication was closed, he showed a thoughtful expression: “As expected… in the modern information society, everything is easily exposed… not to mention the automatic retrieval of artificial intelligence…”

His battle video was hidden among countless battle videos and was inconspicuous, but it was still discovered by Gu Duan.

This reminded Fang Xing of his previous inference, and once again confirmed that many martial arts masters in the Federation were quietly paying attention to this event.

“Maybe… it’s time to quit while the going gets tough? 10,000th place is too high…”

Fang Xing counted the number of evil spirit crystals he had obtained, and felt that the number was about enough to condense an evil spirit point.

As for the Gangmai?

I’m afraid it still has to be approved by the competition officials. They can’t really try to get ‘Meteor’ to join the group, right?

“Next game… after the next game, I’ll stop!”

He made a decision secretly in his heart.

…

A few days later.

Fang Xing entered the virtual universe and came to an ancient dojo.

“This environment is rare…”

He touched his mask and realized that there was only a bunch of data underneath it. He couldn’t see his true appearance by taking off the mask.

This mask is just a form of “anonymity” in the virtual universe.

At this moment, Fang Xing suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Then, he saw his opponent.

Ten feet away from him stood an old man wearing a black robe and with a turtle back and white hair.

The old man was hunched over and looked quite old. He was wearing cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles.

All in all, it gives Fang Xing a very old-fashioned feeling.

“Meteor…interesting.”

The old man put his hands behind his back, with the demeanor of a great master: “You go first!”

“What era is it now? Why are you still wearing this appearance? Are you trying to make me feel as guilty as punching the Nanshan Nursing Home?”

Fang Xing chuckled, showing the demeanor of a modern young man who is fearless.

Suddenly!

Boom!

The Golden Core Realm descended, and as he stepped forward, the wooden board beneath him shattered instantly, leaving an afterimage on the spot. The man had already arrived above the old man and chopped him down with a knife.

“Ghost Sword? It’s both true and false… kind of interesting!”

The fingers of the old man’s palms were very long and thin. At this moment, he moved his hands like practicing Tai Chi: “Point the blood to cut the pulse!”

In an instant, he moved his hands incredibly quickly and tapped Fang Xing’s arm.

The boundary between fast and slow seems to be blurred at this moment.

Fang Xing was a little puzzled that his family had been hit.

But the next moment, golden light burst out from his entire arm, as if he was not hurt at all. He slapped the old man in the face, knocking him into the wall, leaving a deep hole.

“Damn! The Dragon Elephant Vajra Indestructible Magical Power has reached the Great Perfection? You have no moral principles! You sneak attacked an old man like me…”

The old man’s depressed voice came from the hole in the door panel.

Then he walked out of the cave, twisted his neck, and sighed: “I have been hunting geese all day, and today I was pecked in the eye by a goose… If those old guys knew about this, they would definitely laugh at me.”

The old man straightened his bones while speaking: “The Golden Core Realm can achieve Dragon Elephant Perfection. There are not many good martial arts talents like this…”
