The Path to Immortality

As soon as the Yangji Pill was swallowed, it turned into a strong warm current containing vitality.

With the help of this pill that matched the practice method, the efficiency of practicing Ziyang Zhenjing suddenly increased by more than double, allowing Fang Ping to find the feeling of rapid progress when he first started practicing Ziyang Zhenjing.

He had a strong feeling that if he could maintain this efficiency, he would be able to reach the ninth level of Qi training in the next one or two years!

After six years, when he returned to the sect from Luoyuefang, he might be able to touch the threshold of the tenth level of Qi training.

"Foundation building?"

This word, which has always been quite distant, seems to be within reach for the first time.

………

Spring goes and winter comes.

It seems that nearly two years have passed inadvertently.

With the elixir provided by Fang Ping from time to time, the business of Luoyun Dan Pavilion is as prosperous as ever.

And Fang Ping's own cultivation has also made great progress with the help of the Yangji Pill. In at most half a month, he can be promoted to the ninth level of Qi training.

This day.

Fang Ping, disguised by the Thousand Illusions Bracelet, turned into a lean man and quietly came to the Falling Moon Lake.

This time, on the one hand, he went out to relax, after all, it was very boring to practice in the Dan Pavilion all the time; on the other hand, it was also to take care of Dahei and take it out to play.

At this moment, it was rare to enter the big lake. The increasingly large black-scaled dragon was excitedly playing in the Falling Moon Lake with water vapor all over its body.

With Fang Ping's cultivation and a large supply of elixirs, Dahei's strength has been greatly improved compared to a few years ago.

Although it is still in the growth stage, it has already reached the sixth level of Qi training.

Relying on its thick skin and flesh, as well as its innate proficiency in water magic, it is enough to compete with the cultivators who have just entered the late stage of Qi training.

For Fang Ping now, it can barely be regarded as a helper.

"The sixth level of Qi training is still a little lacking. When I reach the seventh level of Qi training and can fly with the dragon's talent, I can really help!"

Having seen the strength and power of the two black-scaled dragons back then, Fang Ping was still looking forward to this moment.

He watched with a smile on his face, allowing Dahei to play in Luoyue Lake for a long time, and then rode the dragon all the way back.

Until he was close to Luoyuefang and entered the area where other cultivators were active, he put Dahei back into the spirit beast bag, switched to the flying sword, and slowly flew the sword into the market.

Just as he removed his disguise in an empty corner and swaggered back to Luoyun Dan Pavilion, the manager reported a good news.

"What? A cultivator wants to sell [Xuanyuan Fruit]?"

Fang Ping's face lit up.

This spirit fruit is one of the important auxiliary materials for the foundation-building pill, and it is also one of the necessary materials for the ancient pill recipe [Yangmai Pill].

Although this kind of auxiliary material is not so rare that it cannot be bought with spirit stones, at least in Luoyuefang, Fang Ping has never seen the whereabouts of Xuanyuan Fruit in the past two years.

The manager nodded and said, "The cultivator may be a casual cultivator who happened to pass by here. His words and deeds are not like those of a local. The Xuanyuan Fruit he sells is priced at 1,100 spirit stones. I am not sure whether this rare spirit fruit is real or fake, so I dare not make my own decision. I can only ask the other party to wait in the private room for a while..."

"Well done!"

Fang Ping encouraged a few words, and then quickly came to the only private room on the west side of the first floor.

The cultivator in the private room was a cultivator wearing a black robe and showing the aura of the sixth level of Qi training. He called himself Liu Daoren.

I don't know if it was because he was injured recently, his aura seemed a little unstable, and his face was a little abnormally flushed.

Seeing Fang Ping appear, he took a quick look and said impatiently: "Are you the shopkeeper of Luoyun Dan Pavilion? Why are you here so late? I don't want to wait any longer if I don't see you."

"Sorry, I was out for something urgent."

Fang Ping apologized repeatedly, and then confirmed: "I heard from the store manager that you want to sell Xuanyuan Fruit?"

Daoist Liu nodded: "The value of Xuanyuan Fruit is known to all cultivators who have some knowledge of alchemy. I didn't intend to sell it, but something unexpected happened and I urgently needed a large amount of spirit stones, so I decided to sell it. The price is one thousand and one hundred spirit stones!"

This price is actually slightly higher than the market price.

Fang Ping thought for a while and said: "Can I confirm the quality of Xuanyuan Fruit first?"

Daoist Liu was not surprised by this request. He took out a jade box, removed the restrictions on it, and handed it over.

Perhaps it was because of the serious injury. Just after using his magic power, his body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help coughing a few times, and blood foam appeared faintly at the corners of his mouth.

In the jade box, there was a peach-shaped exotic fruit with a round and smooth surface, exuding a faint and attractive fragrance.

With Fang Ping's current attainments in alchemy, he only did a brief test and confirmed that this was indeed the Xuanyuan fruit, and it should have been picked not long ago, the medicinal power was almost gone, and the appearance was excellent.

He nodded with satisfaction: "It is indeed the Xuanyuan fruit, but the price of this 1,100 spirit stones..."

Taoist Liu sneered and put away the jade box: "Sorry, no bargaining! If your pavilion is not willing to accept it, I will try other shops now, there will always be people willing to buy it."

Fang Ping tried to lower the price, but it was just a routine gesture.

Seeing that the monk was determined, he hesitated and pretended to be in pain: "Well, this Xuanyuan fruit is indeed good. 1,100 spirit stones, this store will accept it!"

"Not bad, I like to deal with open-minded people!"

The transaction was successfully concluded, and Taoist Liu couldn't help but praise with satisfaction.

Soon, the two of them settled the silver and goods.

More than a thousand spirit stones still take up quite a bit of space.

Perhaps the storage bag of Taoist Liu was filled with treasures, and there was not enough space to accommodate these spirit stones.

As a last resort, Taoist Liu took out another storage bag and slightly exchanged it in front of Fang Ping, and then barely put the spirit stones in.

Afterwards, he bought several healing pills in Luoyun Pill Pavilion, and then left.

Watching this person go away, Fang Ping narrowed his eyes, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.

Luoyue Valley is not a good place. Among the casual cultivators entrenched here, how many robbery cultivators are mixed in, I am afraid only God knows.

This Taoist Liu is only at the sixth level of Qi training. It would be fine if he did not deliberately conceal his injuries, but he dared to show off his wealth after making a large transaction?

Even if Luoyun Pill Pavilion is an old brand with a good reputation, would it be impossible for him to have no bad intentions?

If Fang Ping had some ideas, he could just do a little trick on the spirit stones paid or the pills traded at the end, and he could track them all the way.

If it was a well-known local cultivator, killing and robbing him might have to worry about the impact and consequences of this action.

But Taoist Liu made it clear that he was from outside and passed by Luoyuefang. Even if he really died quietly outside the market, no one would care.

Suspicious!

"No matter how you look at it, it's a bit suspicious!"

This guy, is he hiding his strength and deliberately fishing?

A thought suddenly popped up in Fang Ping's mind.

But then he laughed.

Is he really stupid, or is he pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger to deliberately lure people into the trap? What does it have to do with him?

Anyway, Fang Ping didn't plan to do this kind of business without capital from the beginning. As long as he didn't get greedy, no matter how sinister the trap was, it would be meaningless.

What's more, the Xuanyuan Fruit he received was real and there was no problem with the quality.

In this case, Fang Ping was too lazy to think about it.
