Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 578

Chapter 578 Shanyin Xie

“However, Qing Mu Ling is a righteous sect after all, and the subordinate forces must also be polite…”

‘Even if the Fei family wants to annex Dulongpo, they must do it slowly, otherwise their reputation will be lost…’

“And I need a good reason, an excuse…”

“For example… all the cultivators at Poison Dragon Slope were killed by a catastrophe? Then let Xiao Cui or Song Yunyun’s child rule this place?”

‘Is this probably one of the reasons why the Fei family is willing to marry?’

“This is really scary. I’d better continue planting trees…”

Fang Xing said goodbye to Song Yunqian, who had just married off her daughter, so she was obviously not in a very good mood.

…

A few months later.

In the thousand-acre bamboo forest, Fang Xing came to the wine cellar and took out a bottle of fruit wine.

Ever since he saw monkey wine, he has been very interested in various fruit wines and has tried many.

After obtaining a kind of spiritual wine yeast, the healing berries have been successfully brewed into wine with certain healing effects.

The effect has become somewhat strange, from immediate healing to slow repair of body damage, which is quite beneficial for various hidden injuries.

Tie Luo San Ren was almost on the verge of death back then, and was able to maintain the sixth level of Qi Sensing thanks to drinking this wine.

“Today’s autumn dew is suitable for drinking mulberry wine!”

Fang Xing took out a jar of wine. The wine inside looked like amethyst. It was mulberry wine brewed from mulberries.

He poured himself a glass and sipped it slowly.

suddenly.

His natural sense made him look in that direction: “Hu Liuniang… why are you here today?”

Then a beautiful woman came out of the bamboo forest. It was Hu Liuniang.

Although this woman still has a beautiful appearance, there is a hint of vicissitudes between her brows.

“Fang Daoyou…”

Hu Liuniang took Fang Xing’s wine glass with a smile, and drank it directly without minding that he had used it before. She stared at Fang Xing’s face blankly and said, “I often buy ‘beauty pills’, but I feel that the effect is getting worse and worse. How do you maintain your beauty? Did you use ‘Blood River Beauty Pills’ or something like that?”

The Blood River Rejuvenating Pill is a very popular pill recipe in the Corpse-Driving Sect. It requires the blood and essence of a sixteen-year-old girl as the main ingredient. It is said that one pill can keep one young for ten years, and it is extremely popular.

Any old witch from the Corpse-Driving Sect who is still young and beautiful in her seventies or eighties is very likely to have used this kind of elixir.

“How could I possibly use that kind of weird elixir? Maybe it’s because the Qingmu Gong I’m practicing is a health-preserving exercise, which already has a certain beauty-enhancing effect. Would it be more effective if I used the beauty pill together?”

Fang Xing shook his head.

This was an excuse he had thought of long ago, and it was indeed the case.

In the righteous way, if one practices health preservation or special techniques, or breaks through the realm quickly enough… aging will never catch up with the cultivator.

“I see……”

Hu Liuniang seemed to believe it, but also seemed not to believe it.

“Haha… I wonder what Liu Niang is doing here?”

Fang Xing just laughed it off and got away with it.

“Can’t I come to you if I have nothing to do? You are so cruel…”

Hu Liuniang was slightly angry at first, but when she saw Fang Xing was indifferent, she said, “Yunyun is a good child… She took advantage of her return to her parents’ home to bring news that the former head of the Fei family, ‘Fei Tianbao’, was very likely to have failed to build his foundation and died…”

“Ninth level of Qi Sensing, third level of Dao Foundation… It’s as difficult as ascending to heaven to seek a lower level of Dao Foundation…”

Fang Xing sighed, and then became curious: “Can’t the Fei family exchange Dao-based spiritual objects from Qingmuling?”

“According to my guess, there are many kinds of spiritual objects that can help you build your foundation. Some can increase your chances of success, while others can save your life… Fei Tianbao probably risked everything and asked for something that could increase his chances of building his foundation.”

Hu Liuniang said.

“I see… The Fei family has been seriously injured this time. The lives of the five families ahead of us will be even more difficult…”

Fang Xing shook his head.

“In the Poison Dragon Slope, it is our Dongfeng who is sad. What does it have to do with you, an enemy?” Hu Liuniang rolled her eyes, and then her expression became extremely solemn: “Are you safe here?”

“Naturally safe…”

Fang Xing sat up straight: “What’s wrong?”

“According to eldest brother’s guess, the Taoist master of the Fei family may not have much time left… otherwise Fei Tianbao would not be so desperate this time.” Hu Liuniang came closer and said with a sweet breath.

“Not much time left?”

Fang Xing’s eyes flashed, and he naturally knew who it was.

Except for the old ancestor of the Fei family who was at the Dao Foundation Realm, no one could make Hu Liuniang so serious: “How old is that person…? Do you have any evidence?”

“Of course there is no evidence, only speculation…” Hu Liuniang said, “Except for the core disciples of the ten major sects of good and evil, 99% of the Dao Foundation Realm disciples in the outside families are of low-level Dao Foundation, and only have a lifespan of about 200 years. And the one from the Fei family has been active since 180 years ago…”

“So… there are still 20 to 30 years left?”

Fang Xing was speechless: “If we find another way to prolong our life, it will be even harder to say…”

“The cost of extending one’s life through the Dao Foundation is completely different from that of ordinary people or those who feel the Qi. Unless it is from the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will be very difficult…”

Hu Liuniang sighed softly.

Fang Xing could see that these cultivators from other places had a love-hate relationship with the Great Zhou Dynasty, and also had a hint of indescribable inferiority and admiration.

“Also, it is rumored that the ancestor of the Fei family suffered a serious injury in his early years, which may have damaged his foundation and lifespan… In addition, Fei Tianbao is fighting with all his might this time, and he is also exploiting our five families…”

Hu Liuniang said: “This could be very serious. We must be more cautious.”

“I see.”

Fang Xing agreed solemnly.

If the speculation is true, the Fei family should now spare no effort to cultivate a second Dao Foundation Realm master.

But if it still fails, no one can guarantee that the Taoist monk will not go crazy before his death and completely eliminate the hidden danger.

“Wait… If it’s about hidden dangers, my sixth-level Qi Sensing level shouldn’t be in the opponent’s eyes, right? At least the White Bone Alliance attracts more firepower than me…”

“Besides, I am a tiger that won’t leave its den. If he dares to come and die, I will bury him.”

With this thought, Fang Xing regained his composure and looked at Hu Liuniang with a hint of amusement in his expression: “Thank you for telling me, Liuniang. I have a few more bottles of fine wine here that are quite good for beauty. I’ll give them to you, Liuniang…”

…

Spring goes and autumn comes.

The Qiao family caravan came to Dulongpo again.

“The world is ever-changing, who can tell for sure?”

Qiao Wuyong looked at the shadows of the bamboos and said with emotion.

Originally, the Seven Brothers of the Song Clan in Lushuiwang were very prosperous, but within just a few years, they completely declined.

On the contrary, Dulongpo quietly supported Fei Cai to become the head of the Fei family.

Not only that, he also married his daughter to the direct descendant of the Fei family.

This relationship is completely different.

He climbed up the Poison Dragon Slope and saw Fang Xing and Old Lu were there. He couldn’t help but be a little surprised: “Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Fang… Please come out to greet us in person.”

“Haha, Mr. Qiao, it’s been a year since we last met, but you’re still as charming as ever. Please come in!”

Old Lu invited Qiao Wuyong to the living room, where they drank and chatted as usual. Then he ordered someone to serve him tea and talked about business.

“This year, we have harvested a lot of ‘poisonous dragon gall’ from Poison Dragon Hill, as well as various rare herbs… You have to give me a fair price, brother.”

Old Lu was bargaining with Qiao Wuyong while playing pity on him.

Fang Xing watched with a smile.

This time, at the request of Old Lu, he also came out to receive them as a proof of his continued relationship with the Five Friends of Fuyun.

After all, the outside world does seem a bit turbulent.

While Qiao Wuyong was dealing with it skillfully, he used his spiritual eyes to glance at Fang Xing.

“As expected… just like the last few times, there is no flaw… no matter how you look at it, it must be the sixth level of Sensing Qi…”

“However, it is becoming increasingly difficult to cultivate in the later stages of the Qi Sensing Realm. I wonder if this person can successfully break through the ninth level of the Qi Sensing Realm before the Jiazi deadline and attempt to establish a foundation for the Dao…”

Laying down the foundation of Taoism is the beginning of a cultivator’s transformation. If one is over sixty years old, his Qi and blood will begin to deplete, and his success rate will drop significantly.

Even Qiao Wuyong himself might not be sure.

The resources of the Qiao family can probably guarantee that he can cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Sensing before he is sixty years old, and then sell all he has to obtain a Taoist spiritual object, and that’s all.

This is the treatment that many monks dream of.

“The boss of the Song family disappeared before and was later confirmed dead… maybe he died at the hands of this person…”

Qiao Wuyong knew the real defensive force of Poison Dragon Hill at that time. In addition to the black snake, there was also Fang Xing, who was at the seventh level of Qi Sensing!

Therefore, even though Tie Luosanren, the top master at Dulongpo, had already been confirmed to have fallen in level, he was still very polite.

Especially when discussing the bamboo paper and bamboo strips business with Fang Xing, he gave up a lot of profits.

He even sold a piece of news at the end:
“Do you know that the Fei family has a conflict with the Shanyin Xie family?”

“Xie Shanyin?”

Old Lu was startled. “The Taoist family from the Corpse Driving Sect?”

“That’s right… It is said that they have been fighting secretly for several times over the distribution of Yunlaifang’s profits…”

Qiao Wuyong said jokingly, “I wonder if they will mobilize their vassals to fight if the situation expands…”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the five friends of Fuyun became extremely solemn.

After Qiao Wuyong left, Old Lu looked gloomy as he turned to his brothers and sisters: “According to the agreement of the reclamation order, if the Fei family calls for conscription, we will either pay the money or contribute our labor… According to the current nature of the Fei family, I’m afraid they will have to provide people. According to my opinion, if something happens this time, I will go with my third brother… If we go again next time, it will be my fourth and fifth sisters… My second brother has already paid a lot for us, if something happens again, he will be the third batch.”

“Brother…” Tieluo Sanren was somewhat touched: “If anything happens, take my Tieluo Umbrella with you. It is a magical weapon after all.”

Fang Xing glanced at Tie Luo San Ren and found that he looked quite skinny compared to before. He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

“We understand…” Song Yunqian and Hu Liuniang both agreed. Only Lin Xu looked a little unconvinced, but he didn’t say anything.

After they left, Old Lu sent Fang Xing to the west slope. When they were about to part, he said, “Fellow Daoist is the foundation of our Poison Dragon Slope. Therefore, when encountering problems, remember to protect yourself… Third brother is the most active, but as long as I am here, I can suppress him. I will ask you to take care of each family in Poison Dragon Slope in the future.”
