The Path to Immortality

With the help of the intelligence gathered by Wu Quan and other disciples during this period, Fang Ping spent a cup of tea to roughly draft a fair plan.

Then he recruited ten accompanying disciples and distributed the resources that each family needed to hand over.

Such things that require running errands and wrangling naturally do not need Fang Ping to do it himself.

Isn't it for the sake of saving trouble and effort at the moment to bring these disciples here?

Thanks to Fang Ping's previous success in establishing his prestige, the matter of the Immortal Alliance collecting resources did not cause much impact among the many forces in Lingmiao Mountain.

Although many forces secretly complained, at least no one dared to make substantial resistance and delay.

Even if Fang Ping did not show up in person, relying only on his disciples to run errands, it still took only more than half a month to successfully collect all the resources.

However, although the task was completed ahead of schedule, Fang Ping deliberately delayed until the last day to hand over the collected resources to the Immortal Alliance Transfer Envoy who came to take over, and repeatedly emphasized to him the difficulty of collecting resources and the poverty of Lingmiao Mountain.

This is a precautionary move.

If it is too smooth and easy, the Immortal Alliance may think that the task target here is too low, and will add more burdens to Fang Ping next time.

After all, the more capable, the more work...

As for the thoughts of Fang Ping himself and the monks of Lingmiao Mountain, who cares?

But anyway, with the completion of this resource collection task, Fang Ping ushered in a period of quiet time.

After sending off the transfer envoy, he did not stop and devoted himself to cultivation again.

Do your best to attack the middle stage of foundation building.

In this turmoil that swept Yunzhou, only your own strength is the best guarantee of safety!

While the front line of Bingpo Mountain was fighting and blood was flowing like a river, Fang Ping inadvertently spent two and a half years in Lingmiao Mountain.

………

This day.

In the Lingmiao Mountain Market.

This is the third time Fang Ping has come to this small market in more than two years.

While walking, he clearly felt that as the war on the front line of Bingpo Mountain intensified, the Lingmiao Mountain Market was becoming depressed.

The prices of items such as magic tools, talismans, and elixirs that can directly improve combat power have risen sharply.

In contrast, although various common materials have also increased to a certain extent, compared with the price increase ratio of magic tools and elixirs, the actual value can be said to have dropped a bit.

This is tantamount to bad news for those casual cultivators who have no special skills.

It is becoming more and more difficult to maintain cultivation.

But for an alchemist like Fang Ping who has superb alchemy skills, it is absolutely good news.

The same bottle of elixir, without doing anything, can earn several times more than a few years ago.

Some elixirs with high demand and high refining difficulty can even earn nearly double.

Which alchemist doesn't like such a good thing?

Using a disguised identity, he went to several alchemy shops in the market, sold some elixirs that were popular among cultivators in batches, recovered a sum of spiritual stones, and bought two hundred-year-old spiritual medicines.

After leaving the market again, Fang Ping did not return the same way, but headed north to Qingyang Taoist Temple.

This Qi training force is located at the northernmost end of the many cultivation forces in Lingmiao Mountain. Not only is its strength average, but it also acts very low-key on weekdays and has little presence.

But just a few days ago, the head of Qingyang Taoist Temple sent a disciple to deliver a letter for help, saying that traces of foundation-building monsters were found in the mountains and forests near his own Taoist temple.

In the past, when encountering such things, Qingyang Taoist Temple, which only had a late-stage Qi training cultivator, could only ask for help from the foundation-building family Xue family and the head of Fengqing Sect.

But at present, these two foundation-building monks are serving in Bingpo Mountain, and the leader of Fengqing Sect was seriously injured a few months ago. It is said that he has retreated to the fairy city behind Bingpo Mountain to recuperate. Obviously, he is unable to help.

As the inspector of the Immortal Alliance, Fang Ping has collected resources several times in the past two years. Now that Qingyang Taoist Temple is in danger of being destroyed, he naturally cannot ignore it.

So, today's trip came.

Going to Lingmiao Mountain Market before was just a side trip.

Driving the escape light, he went north at full speed.

It was not until noon that he gradually approached the lush forest in the north of Lingmiao Mountain.

Looking at the Taoist temple with red walls and green tiles on the mountainside from a distance, Fang Ping took a quick look and confirmed that he had arrived at his destination.

Just as he was about to drive the escape light down, a little warning suddenly emerged in his heart without warning, and his face suddenly changed.

His powerful divine sense and his keen sense of formations and the power of heaven and earth made him realize that there seemed to be a high-level formation hidden outside Qingyang Daoyuan!

Because the formation was not in operation, he could not judge what kind of formation it was in a hurry, but he was sure that it was definitely at the first-level level!

It was normal for a cultivation force to have a formation for protection.

But Qingyang Daoyuan only had one cultivator in the late stage of Qi training. How could such a weak force afford to set up a first-level formation?

I have never heard that this force had ever developed and produced a foundation-building cultivator?

"Something is wrong!"

Fang Ping immediately gave up the idea of ​​falling, and felt that the vague warning in his heart was gradually becoming stronger.

Should he retreat?

But it would not be a wise move to run away without even understanding the most basic situation. What if he left it alone and the crisis brewed, and it became more difficult in the future?

Besides, he was the only one who had built a foundation near Lingmiao Mountain.

Even if I run back, I won't be able to call for other reinforcements for the time being!

At that moment, Fang Ping had several thoughts in his mind.

It was obviously impossible to fall directly and investigate the situation with his physical body.

It was too stupid to force his way in when he knew there was an ambush.

He pretended to look at Qingyang Daoyuan, as if he didn't recognize that this was his destination. He flew straight over the top of the mountain without changing the direction of his escape light.

After flying for dozens of miles, he saw that no one was chasing him from behind, so he quickly fell into the forest.

He chose a suitable location nearby, and quickly took out a pole of formation flags from his storage bag, urged his magic power, and hit the corresponding position.

If a cultivator with insufficient attainments in formation wants to set up a first-level formation, even if he has a set of formation flags in hand, it will take a lot of time to calculate and judge the position of each flag, and he may have to adjust it repeatedly.

But Fang Ping was familiar enough with the Bi Bo Fu Mo Formation, and he set up the formation in an instant.

The flags resonated with each other, stirring up the power of heaven and earth, generating waves of green. However, under Fang Ping's control, the restrictions calmed down and disappeared.

After confirming that the formation was correct, Fang Ping took out pieces of medium-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and placed them in the center of the formation.

With enough spirit stones to activate the formation, the Green Wave Demon Subduing Formation could be activated at any time without his presiding.

"With this backup, even if there are demon cultivators with late foundation building cultivation in the Qingyang Taoist Academy, they can help me delay for a while and buy time to evacuate!"

As for the Jindan demon cultivator coming in person...

This possibility is too low.

The battle on the front line of Bingpo Mountain is so fierce, how could a Jindan demon cultivator run to Lingmiao Mountain in the heart of Yue Kingdom?

If his whereabouts are exposed, the Immortal Alliance will definitely send corresponding Jindan cultivators to round him up and keep him in Yue Kingdom forever at all costs.

The risk and possible benefits are really not proportional.
