Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 289

[Chapter 288 Qing Mulin (Congratulations to the Silver Alliance)]

Qingmulin.

This place is the holy land of the Wood Kingdom. Not only does it have a top-grade third-grade spiritual vein, but there are also exotic flowers and plants everywhere around it, competing for beauty and splendor.

In particular, there is a patch of ‘evergreen trees’, which are lush and green, forming a forest.

This kind of spiritual wood is just ordinary after ten or dozens of years.

But once the age exceeds a hundred years, it will become a second-level spiritual wood.

Most of the spiritual trees in the Evergreen Forest are of the first level, with a small number of them being of the second level.

Even thousand-year-old third-level evergreen wood is not rare.

Fang Xi’s original main material for the ‘Qinghe Sword’ was made of this kind of spiritual wood!
Outside the Qingmu Forest, there was always a thin layer of green mist, hazy and with the fragrance of grass and trees.

This day.

A stream of light, carrying the magical power fluctuations of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, came outside the thin green mist and sent out a sound transmission note.

The light was restrained, revealing an ordinary-looking young man with the cultivation level of the initial stage of foundation building.

It was Fang Xi who used the Mirage Pearl and the secret technique to change his face!
Not long after, the mist parted, and a foundation-building light came out to greet him, laughing: “Nephew Cao… you finally succeeded in building your foundation.”

“Uncle Zheng…”

When Fang Xi saw this person, he immediately clasped his fists and bowed with a very respectful attitude.

“Okay, okay…”

Uncle Zheng’s cultivation was in the middle stage of foundation building. He looked around Fang Xi and said with emotion, “When Brother Cao and I explored the ancient cave, he blocked the vicious spell for me… From then on, we were friends for life. I was very sad when Brother Cao passed away. Before, you wrote to me saying that you bought a foundation building spiritual item on the black market and were ready to attack the foundation. I wrote back to ask my nephew to wait… I tried to find a way in the sect. I couldn’t find the genuine foundation building pill, but there was still hope for the inferior ones. I didn’t expect that my nephew would succeed in building the foundation in one fell swoop…”

When Uncle Zheng spoke, his tone was full of emotion: “If Brother Cao knew about this in the afterlife, he would be extremely happy…”

Upon hearing this, Fang Xi also showed a sad look on his face.

Now, his name is ‘Cao Chongyun’, and he is the nephew of ‘Zheng Tie’, the foundation-building deacon of Qingmu Sect.

His father was also a foundation-building cultivator, and had a close relationship with Zheng Tie in their early years. He later died in the invasion of Yiling Valley…

In fact… all of this is naturally fake!
Fang Xi followed Zheng Tie into the Qingmu Forest Mountain Protection Formation, feeling very emotional:

“I didn’t expect… that all the hard work of the Situ family would end up being a waste of money for me…”

Not only is this ‘Cao Chongyun’ fake, in fact, the original ‘Cao Chongyun’ and his father are all fake!

All of this was planned by Situ Qingqing after she led her men to retreat into the Mu Kingdom.

This woman knew very well that there was no soil for the devil in the Three Kingdoms. Even if she could gain temporary benefits, she would eventually have to prepare by making three burrows.

Among them was a ‘cave’, which she planned to place inside the Aoki Sect!

This is called darkness under the lamp!
Cao Chongyun and his father were both disguised as demon cultivators from the Situ family. Even… the ancient cave house that Zheng Tie and he had a bond with was arranged by the Situ family themselves…

The so-called “blocking the evil curse for it” is even more of a self-directed and self-acted play.

Thanks to Situ Qingqing’s “Phantom Spirit Root”, doing this kind of thing is seamless.

All this inside information was recorded in the jade slip in Situ Qingqing’s storage bag.

Fang Xi even found the human skin of ‘Cao Chongyun’ among the pile of magic materials!

It seems to be specially used to perform the “Human Pupa Technique”.

Although he could not use the human pupa technique, it was not too difficult for him to materialize Cao Chongyun’s face from the human skin and then simulate this person.

After reading the various ‘settings’ in the jade slips, it was not too difficult to play the role of ‘Cao Chongyun’.

After all, this person’s parents are both independent cultivators and have few friends.

I only see my only ‘uncle’ Zheng Tie once every few years, and all the key information is noted down.

Situ Qingqing had not yet decided who to let play the role, but was planning to send the next young foundation-building cultivator of the Situ family into the sect in a completely different appearance.

In this way, Fang Xi felt that the same conditions could be applied to himself, so he took away Cao Chongyun’s identity without hesitation.

Then he disguised himself and leisurely came to Qingmu Sect.

The two of them entered the Qingmu Sect, one in front and one behind.

As soon as he entered, Fang Xi felt a pure spiritual energy coming towards him, carrying with it a strong vitality of plants and trees. He couldn’t help but look happy: “Such a strong spiritual energy…”

“We are just getting started! The spiritual veins of our Qingmu Sect are the best in the Three Kingdoms!”

Zheng Tie said: “Among your spiritual roots, the wood attribute is the most prominent… I have previously suggested that your father send you to the Qingmu Sect for training… Well, I won’t say more…”

Fang Xi naturally knew that Cao Chongyun’s character was a top-grade wood spiritual root, which was considered to be a bit of talent.

After all, although the Qingmu Sect has various martial arts, they are more proficient in wood-based martial arts.

However, it is too risky for children to join the Aoki Sect. They are easily brainwashed and it is difficult for them to use the “Human Pupa Technique” properly.

The two came to Zheng Tie’s cave, and Fang Xi discovered that the spiritual energy here was much richer than that of Dragon Fish Island.

In front of the cave, there are several acres of spiritual fields planted with spiritual herbs.

“Haha… Look, my dear nephew, this spiritual field was given to my uncle when the sect allocated caves after he established his foundation. I planted all kinds of spiritual herbs on it, and it is now fifty years old…”

“With the nourishment of the third-level spiritual energy, the spiritual medicine will grow much faster…”

Zheng Tie said proudly: “These spiritual medicines are still at a low level… If you go to the core area to take a look, or even take a look at the spiritual medicine garden of the ancestor, the scene is, wow…”

When he mentioned Lu Qing, he suddenly became silent again.

Fang Xi changed the topic: “My nephew has just successfully established his foundation, and he only has the skill of talismans to rely on. Now he doesn’t know what to do next.”

“The market in Bai Ze Immortal City is gone, which is indeed a problem for independent cultivators to build their foundation.”

Zheng Tie took a sip of the spiritual tea, neither hurried nor slow.

He looked middle-aged, with a handsome face and dressed in a green robe. He must have been a handsome man when he was young, and he still looked very charming now: “What do you want, nephew? Create a foundation-building force, or establish a family? If so, I can plan for you…”

After all, after the invasion of Yiling Valley, the major foundation-building forces in Mu Kingdom suffered heavy losses.

There is still a chance with the second-level spiritual vein.

“No… I am devoted to the path of Taoism. I don’t want to be the leader of a faction, nor do I want to marry a wife or concubines and start a family…”

Fang Xi shook his head: “I wonder if my nephew can join the sect?”

“Haha, my dear nephew is really wise. Of course I can do this!” Zheng Tie patted his chest and said, “With your uncle guaranteeing you, our sect will definitely treat you as one of our own…”

“Thank you, uncle!”

Fang Xi was overjoyed and thanked him, then asked about the process and some taboos, especially the matters concerning the cave.

The Situ family actually knew all this quite well, but Fang Xi still planned to ask.

“In our Qingmu Sect, the best cave is naturally for honoring Elder Lu… In addition, there are several third-grade caves to supply golden elixir seeds for several people who have completed their foundation…”

Zheng Tie said: “The rest of the third-level middle-grade and low-grade caves… can be allocated to us foundation-building deacons. This part of the caves was originally a bit insufficient. If my nephew had come before, he might have been assigned to a second-level upper-grade cave… But now, you can choose at will. However, it is best to give some benefits to the General Affairs Hall. After all, even if you pass the cave level, you will still have to deal with those people frequently in the future…”

Fang Xi understood.

Before the Three Kingdoms War in the Immortal Cultivation World, there were many foundation-building cultivators in the Qingmu Sect, and many independent cultivators from the outside world also joined in the foundation-building process. Naturally, there were not enough caves with third-order spirit veins to go around.

By now, many foundation-building cultivators have been killed or injured, and even the ancestor of Qingmu Sect is about to pass away. It is a precarious time. The independent cultivators who are able to build a foundation are so smart and cautious. Naturally, the number of people joining has greatly decreased.

Wouldn’t the resources and caves be freed up?

At that moment, Zheng Tie brought Fang Xi all the way to the General Affairs Hall of Qingmu Sect.

The General Affairs Hall looks very conspicuous from the outside. It is a huge wooden palace with a wide square outside.

Many Qingmu Sect’s Qi-refining disciples gathered in the square, staring at a huge jade disk. On it were various tasks with attached rewards, which were updated in real time.

As foundation-building monks, the two naturally did not need to wait in the square and could go directly into the palace.

“Brother Zheng, where did the wind bring you here?”

After the disciple reported it, a man came out soon. He was an old Taoist in a green robe with a long beard.

“Junior Brother Qian!”

Zheng Tie introduced with a smile: “This ‘Cao Chongyun’ is my nephew, with a clean background. After building his foundation, he came to join my Qingmu Sect!”

“So it’s Fellow Daoist Cao…” Taoist Qian’s eyes lit up, and he smiled and bowed to Fang Xi: “It seems that soon, I can call you Junior Brother Cao. Please come in… There happens to be another cultivator who has just established his foundation and wants to join my Qingmu Sect. We can process it together.”

“Oh? Who is it?”

Zheng Tie asked as he followed Taoist Qian inside.

“He is a casual cultivator named Tie Jiu, a genius who successfully built his foundation on his own, and was introduced by Senior Brother Fu…”

Taoist Qian answered with a smile.

“He is actually a person who built his foundation on his own? I have heard of this person’s name before. He is a good warrior…”

Zheng Tie smiled.

The so-called combat cultivators naturally refer to cultivators who are not proficient in other skills and are only good at fighting.

Sects like the Qingmu Sect are also very welcoming to such people. After all, combat practitioners often fight on the line between life and death, so it is relatively easy for them to make breakthroughs in their skills.

Fang Xi and Zheng Tie followed Taoist Qian into the inner room, where they saw two foundation-building cultivators sitting there. One of them was in the early stage of foundation-building, with a scar on his face and a fierce look on his face.

As for the other person?

He had seen him not long ago. He was the monkey-faced masked official in the late stage of foundation building!
“Senior Brother Fu…”

Zheng Tie hurriedly saluted. After all, the other party was a powerful cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. “Last time I heard that Brother went out to accept a secret mission. I didn’t expect that this mission was to discover a talented person for our sect…”

Hearing Zheng Tie’s compliment, Senior Brother Fu’s face darkened: “Let’s not talk about Senior Brother’s mission… But this time when you went out, you brought back a talent for the sect, which can be considered a great contribution…”
