Cultivation of immortality in the troubled times of demons and martial arts

Baochuanfang City.

Cave No. 37, C.

This is the cave that Fang Xi rented directly from Fangshi after coming out of the teahouse.

Only one low-grade spiritual stone is needed for a month, but the cave is very large, including a practice room, a kitchen, a study room... It can be said that although it is small, it has all the internal organs.

Moreover, the spiritual energy is quite abundant.

At least, it is much richer than the place where Fang Xi lived when she was still a spiritual farmer, and it has reached the standard of first-order spiritual veins.

Wow!

Fang Xi washed her body again to make sure there was no trace of breath left.

Ever since he suffered a loss from the green-blooded python, he had to take a few more showers every time he returned to the cave. He even bought a skin-care liquid that female cultivators like to use in the market, claiming to be able to get rid of any odor on his body.

After feeling like he had almost shed a layer of skin, he put on a pair of clean clothes and sat cross-legged in the practice room.

On the futon, Fang Xi was running the 'Changchun Jue' technique, and a thin green aura suddenly erupted from her body.

Feeling the powerful spiritual pressure from the outside world, the spiritual energy entered her body at a faster speed than usual, then circulated through the meridians, and finally returned to the Dantian Qi sea, turning into mist-like mana cycle process, Fang Xi couldn't help but have a look on her face. A hint of joy.

Under the operation of the Changchun Art, his whole body seemed to be full of vitality, and every inch of his muscles, fascia, and bones seemed like a hungry traveler, bathing in the rain falling from the sky.

Even though the Changchun Art is stuck in a bottleneck and is difficult to break through, this wood-attribute magic power is also excellent for nourishing the body.

"Sure enough...the higher the concentration of spiritual veins, the better the training effect."

"If possible, it would be best to get a first-level spiritual vein land in the future... Unfortunately, it is most likely impossible, even if you are not popular..."

Fang Xi planned to stay in Baochuanfang City for a few months, explore various avenues, and then plan for the spiritual land.

Even if there is a spiritual land, it is necessary to carefully survey the terrain, even know the surrounding forces well, get familiar with the neighbors, and make all preparations before planting tree seeds and starting to practice the 'immortality technique'.

All this may take several years.

Of course, such a long time cannot be wasted.

Therefore, he rented a cave to focus more on the practice of Changchun Jue.

'Be prepared for the worst...'

‘Even if in the end, the Immortality Technique fails, but by practicing persistently on the spiritual land, as long as the cultivation of the Eternal Spring Technique improves, it will still be profitable. ’

After Fang Xi's meritorious service, he began to think about the choice of spiritual land.

"The long-term rental of Lingdao launched by Dragon Fish Zhong is indeed very attractive... As long as you rent it, you can get the tiger's skin, get shelter, and safety is guaranteed... Unfortunately, the price must be very high. I am just a refiner. The young monk at the fourth level of Qi suddenly took out a large amount of spiritual stones and rented them for decades, which is so eye-catching... and he has been protected by the Zhong family. In the future, the Zhong family will send me to fight, will I obey or not?"

"Joining a small Qi-refining force will easily lead to intrigues, but the degree of freedom will also be much greater..."

"It's best to be a particularly weak one, and then I will kill all those who rebel... and occupy an island in a grand way, provided that you don't be surrounded and suppressed by demon cultivators..."

Fang Xi thought about the situation and felt a little speechless.

"Forget it... Let's see if there is any opportunity before we talk... You should be low-key and low-key."

Although the spiritual vein resources here at Wandao Lake seem to be richer than those at Qingzhu Mountain, opportunities are not always available.

What's more... even if there is a chance, it is not prepared for a mere casual cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Fang Xi thought for a while and patted the storage bag again.

A roll of snake skin and a bundle of huge snake bones suddenly appeared on the ground.

The lines on the snake skin are dark and mottled, with scales.

The snake bones are ferocious, with a palpitating aura.

This is the skin and bones of a snake dragon!

"The stuff is good, but it's a bit eye-catching. There's no reliable channel, so it's not easy to sell..."

Fang Xi touched her chin, feeling a little regretful.

In fact, he didn't really want to sell this precious resource.

After all, it can be seen from Miao Dong's performance that this snake dragon is completely a first-class material, and it will be a bit of a loss to sell it. The key is that he is not particularly short of spiritual stones at the moment.

"Fortunately, the snake dragon is big enough...it doesn't matter if it's wasted."

Fang Xi spread out the snake skin with snake scales. The snake skin had been preliminarily processed and did not have any fishy odor.

And it was very tough. He pulled the snake skin with both hands and kept exerting force, but it was difficult to pull it away.

He thought for a while, held the 'Golden Dragon Sword' in his right hand, put the tip of the sword against the snake skin, and using his true power, he finally cut open the snake skin with difficulty and drilled small holes one by one.

Then it was pierced with snake tendons to make an extremely simple inner armor.

After putting it on, a layer of outer robe was put on the outside, and there was no clue at all.

"This is not a magical weapon... but it can block most attacks. It is difficult to save against incidental attacks such as concussion penetration. Fortunately, I am a physical practitioner and my body is strong, so I am not afraid of these secondary injuries..."

Fang Xi looked at the snake bones again. There was really nothing she could do about this. She had to find a trustworthy weapon refiner.

Fortunately, now that he has settled down, he can first buy some elixirs to assist his cultivation and see if he can break through the fifth level of Qi refining.

Moreover, you can spend a relatively long time looking for an weapon refiner who has outstanding craftsmanship and acceptable character and reputation.

…

The next day.

Inside the teahouse.

Fang Xi ordered another pot of "Five Carps Playing with Pearls" spiritual tea. While sipping the tea, she listened to the gossips of the tea guests around her. It was quite leisurely to sit and watch the flowers bloom and fall, and watch the clouds roll in and out.

However, there is no major news this time. Most of them are small things such as a certain casual cultivator who made a breakthrough in his cultivation and advanced to the late stage of Qi refining, or someone who was lucky enough to catch a spiritual fish in the lake, etc.

After brewing the tea for three times, Master Kuchiki came over specifically with a hint of joy on his face: "Fellow Taoist, I'm so happy!"

"Oh? Why are you so happy?"

Fang Xi asked back, but her heart suddenly moved.

Could it be that the spiritual land has been found?

"This... of course... hehe!" Old Taoist Kuchiki smiled and pointed to the box.

A moment later, in the box.

Fang Xi didn't even look at the ordinary tea, and directly waited for Old Master Kuchiki to speak.

"The old Taoist has been entrusted by fellow Taoist and has been searching for relevant information for fellow Taoist, and finally has accurate information!"

The old Taoist Kuchiki said with a slight expression of contentment: "Arowana Zhong is expected to release two unpopular spiritual island contracts this year. This is a great thing for becoming the master of an island!"

"Oh? I don't know what you want?" Fang Xi remained calm and continued to ask.

"Are you asking for it? The first is to protect the mortals on the island from natural disasters and possible monsters... The second is to become a guest of the Zhong family. If necessary, you must take action for the Zhong family. Of course, the Zhong family will also consider the situation. Give compensation..." Old Taoist Kuchiki said with a smile.

"How many years will the lease last? What's the selling price?"

Fang Xi sighed in her heart. Sure enough, it was not so easy to take advantage of the advantages of big forces. However, although she had rejected most of them in her heart, she still wanted to hear the price.

"One hundred spiritual stones a year, rent starting from ten years!" Old Master Kuchiki looked at Fang Xi steadily.

‘A thousand spiritual stones in ten years? If I take it out, I'm afraid this old Kuchiki will have his own thoughts! ’

Fang Xi rolled her eyes inwardly, with a wry smile on her face: "It's so expensive? That's all...I don't want to be the owner of the island, but is there any other way?"

"Sigh... It's a bit expensive, but after becoming the owner of the island, the entire island can be developed. This is the foundation of many small families and small sects... However, it is really inappropriate for Taoist friend to be alone. "

The old Taoist Kuchiki sighed: "Besides... the owner of 'Little Leaf Island' in the Thirty-six Island Alliance is Lord Ye, and wants to recruit a guest for the sect. I told the Taoist friend's situation, and the other party was very If you are interested, I promise to set aside ten acres of spiritual land for Taoist friends to cultivate."

"Thirty-six Island Alliance?"

Fang Xi had heard of this force, which was said to be a coalition of Qi-refining forces confronting the Arowana Zhong family. She didn't know the specific situation, so she asked directly.

"The so-called 'Thirty-six Islands' are indeed one of the two major foundation-building forces on Wandao Lake...but they are a coalition of Qi-refining forces. These Qi-refining forces even have hatred for each other and attack each other...but facing Zhong When the family is under pressure, they will unite and unite with the outside world..."

The old Taoist Kuchiki smoothed his beard and said with a smile: "The Thirty-six Island Alliance originally did not have a foundation-building monk, but they raised funds to hire a casual cultivator to build a foundation as a worshiper, which is considered to be a banner of the other party... The Zhong family has not expanded in recent years. This means that both parties are in peace with each other."

"I see. How is Master Gui Ye's cultivation? What is his character like? What are his enemies?"

Since he opened the box and paid the spirit stone, Fang Xi naturally wanted to ask clearly.

"Sir Guiye was originally a fisherman, but he fell into the water and accidentally entered the cave of his predecessor. He received the inheritance of the technique. He himself is a middle-grade spiritual root... Later, he practiced to the middle stage of Qi refining and killed Ye who originally occupied Xiaoye Island. He established himself as the "Guiye Shen Sect" and became the sect leader of his generation... an enemy? I haven't heard much about it, but within his sect, there are probably no more than ten Qi Refining cultivators."

Kuchiki Lao Dao seemed to be suppressing a smile.

‘A sect with less than ten Qi Refining monks? The sect leader is still in the middle stage of Qi refining? ’

When Fang Xi heard this, she couldn't help but feel itchy.

But after thinking about it, he came here to plant trees for decades. It was better not to make enemies if he could.

Even if you kill all your enemies, your reputation will be ruined and you will be easily besieged by the righteous. This is not good!

Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth!

I muttered it several times in my mind and finally became calm: "I wonder what level this Xiaoye Island is?"

"I barely have a mediocre spiritual vein, and the spiritual energy is far inferior to that of Treasure Ship Fang City!" Old Daoist Kuchiki shook his head.

"this……"

Fang Xi thought for a moment and said, "I'm a little moved. I wonder how I can contact Master Gui Ye?"

The old Taoist Kuchiki nodded. In his expectation, this spiritual farmer would most likely choose a Qi refining force to join: "In half a month, Master Guiye will personally escort a batch of spiritual rice to the treasure ship market for sale. If you are interested, you can discuss it in detail here, and I will act as a mediator between the two of you..."

This is already one of his businesses, and he can also get another commission!
