Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 291

[Chapter 290 Peace Talk (asking for monthly ticket)]

Inside the Sutra Repository.

Although most books are just introductions and in-depth reading requires contribution points to redeem the entire book, it has greatly broadened Fang Xi’s horizons.

He put down the last book and then came to the mystical arts area.

After taking a quick look, Fang Xi’s face darkened: “Lu Qing misled me…”

“You also said that the secret techniques of the Qingmu Sect will be of great benefit to me…”

“But these wood-related secret techniques… I feel like they are all inferior to what is recorded in the Art of Withering and Flourishing. Am I really expecting too much?”

Fang Xi reflected on himself. He was practicing the top-level wood-related skills and had the detailed version of “Withering and Flourishing Technique” given by the old ghost. The so-called wood-related secret techniques of the Qingmu Sect were indeed of no use to him.

“Fortunately, I didn’t agree to Lu Qing’s request… otherwise, I would have suffered a huge loss…”

With a little depression, Fang Xi looked at other secret techniques besides the wood element.

These secret techniques collected by the Qingmu Sect are quite interesting.

He scanned the introductions one by one, and finally saw a door. His eyes lit up slightly, and he returned to the first floor.

There is a wooden table at the gate, and a white-haired old man sits behind it.

Although this person seems to be weak, his magical powers have reached the level of perfection in foundation building.

“As expected of the Aoki Clan, it still has some background.”

“But why should I think about these things when I’m just trying to make a living?”

Fang Xi came up to this person and bowed: “Greetings, Elder Shouge!”

“Huh? A new guest?!”

The old man opened his eyes, glanced at Fang Xi, then slowly closed them again and asked casually, “According to the rules, new foundation-building cultivators can choose a technique or secret art for free. What is your choice?”

“The Secret Record of Talisman Jade!”

Fang Xi stated his choice.

The old man opened his eyes again and looked Fang Xi up and down carefully: “Young man… you have such a big heart… do you want to study the ‘Jade Talisman Technique’ of the ancient cultivators?”

The art of talismans was very popular at the first and second levels. After all, it was easy to learn and cost little.

But when it comes to the third level, third-level spiritual wood and the skin of the demon king are often needed as the material for the talisman paper, and the consumption is already terrifying.

In the entire Three Kingdoms, it is currently recognized that there is only one third-level talisman master, Ancestor Fang.

However, it is said that in ancient times, the talismans made by ancient monks were not made of paper, but made of gold and jade to make special “gold and jade talismans”!
This kind of talisman can not only store more magic power, but can also be cast multiple times.

In Fang Xi’s opinion, it was somewhat similar to a magical weapon or spiritual weapon.

It can even be regarded as a special type of magic weapon with a limited number of uses!
This “Talisman Jade Secret Record” was placed in the secret arts area, but it was not an ancient talisman secret art, but only wrote a secret method for refining a “Talisman Jade”.

As for the matching talismans and secret methods, there was none at all, only the fragments collected by Qingmu Sect.

“I am also a talisman master, so I am naturally very interested in this…”

Fang Xi smiled and sighed in his heart. If he hadn’t found the secret technique he wanted, who would choose this secret technique that only had a small part of it?
“Well… our sect is free to choose any secret technique to build its foundation.”

The elder guarding the pavilion chuckled, took out a blank jade slip from his storage bag, imprinted his spiritual consciousness on it, and handed it to Fang Xi: “This is a one-time jade slip. It will self-destruct after you read it once… Take it.”

Fang Xi received the jade slip, but did not leave. Instead, he looked at the elder guarding the pavilion curiously: “Elder, have you memorized all the secret techniques in the building?”

“Of course… I grew up in the Qingmu Sect since I was young. I became a gatekeeper disciple at the age of 18. I love reading the most in my life… I have read most of the classics in the library.”

The old man stroked his beard, looking quite complacent: “Later, people even forgot my name and just called me ‘Shu Lao’. Whenever a disciple came to ask about the secret techniques, I could always give the corresponding advice…”

The old man laughed and said, “I think you are quite good. You can come to the Sutra Library to see me more often in the future…”

“must!”

Fang Xi walked out of the Sutra Library, controlled a spiritual weapon, and disappeared in mid-air…

…

Green bamboo forest.

There is a bamboo forest here, which is as green as jade and exudes amazing spiritual energy.

There is a green hill hidden in the bamboo forest.

The interior of the hill is hollow, with a cave dug out, and outside is a huge spiritual medicine garden.

On this day, Fang Xi came driving a spiritual weapon and inspected the place inside and out. He couldn’t help but feel very satisfied.

“The lower-grade third-order spiritual energy is barely enough for me… After all, Golden Core cultivation is not about breaking through a major realm, so it won’t cause an exaggerated celestial phenomenon that can reach dozens of miles.”

“What’s more… immortal cultivators absorb spiritual energy to cultivate. Even if they are at the foundation building or golden elixir stage… they can only absorb spiritual energy around them. There is nothing unusual about it… As for being able to read the spiritual energy flowing within a hundred miles like observing the lines on the palm of one’s hand, even a Yuanying Zhenjun may not be able to do that.”

Through the skills given by the old ghost, Fang Xi also had a general understanding of the abilities of Yuanying Zhenjun.

It does not have the ability to directly manipulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and must go through the process of absorbing spiritual energy, refining it into mana in the body, and then casting spells…

Being able to directly manipulate the spiritual power between heaven and earth, I’m afraid only a Divine Transformation cultivator can do it!
“What’s more… Lu Qing is only a Golden Core…”

Fang Xi’s consciousness swept over a radius of twenty miles: “We can set up a formation… to encircle this green bamboo forest.”

“Even if there are some abnormalities at that time, there will be formations to cover it up… But it must be one open and one hidden. It would be good to have a second-level lower grade in the open… It is suitable for my current wealth.”

Fang Xi fell into the cave and saw that all kinds of facilities were quite complete. He couldn’t help but feel quite satisfied.

He came to the cave and secluded himself in the room.

Sitting on the cushion, feeling the rich spiritual energy around him, he couldn’t help but smile, and began his first serious practice in the Jindan stage…

…

The night is dark.

In Yangyuan Cave.

Lu Qing sat cross-legged on a cushion with a calm expression, though he looked older than when he went to congratulate Fang Xi.

Seeing this scene, Taoist Qian and Senior Brother Fu looked at each other and were a little worried.

When the ancestor is like this, doesn’t it mean that even the power of the golden elixir is unable to maintain his appearance, and that his death is not far away?

In front of the two of them, there was a middle-aged man who looked very smart and capable. He was the head of the Qingmu Sect, Wei Xuan!
“… So, after I left, the foundation building in the Mu Kingdom has been completed, and it is unlikely that another Jindan will appear…”

Lu Qing looked at the people who were building their foundations and sneered, “But when my Qingmu Sect started, I wiped out the Muyuan Sect. Have you forgotten?”

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

“Moreover…how can you be sure that there is no figure like the Dragon Fish Island Master among those casual cultivators?”

“In the world of immortal cultivation, superior talents do not necessarily mean one can reach a higher realm, and those with inferior talents may also achieve great success… Unfortunately, I am about to pass away, but before I do, I will definitely arrange everything so that the sect will not be destroyed in an instant…”

When Lu Qing said this, he looked at Senior Brother Fu.

Senior Brother Fu knelt down hurriedly: “Grandmaster… I am incompetent and failed to take down Situ Qingqing, but I saw that she used her secret technique to fight desperately at the last moment, so her death should be not far away. If she had taken that second-level longevity pill, she would have definitely died…”

“The Situ family’s magic heritage is quite mysterious, plus the way of refining corpses… Although our sect has collected most of it, we haven’t got the original copy… It’s a pity.”

Lu Qing commented calmly, saying without comment: “Get up… Qingmu Sect will need you guys to support it in the future…”

“With the formation, plus this clearing and confirmation… it won’t be a problem for my Qingmu Sect to defend the Mu Kingdom for another hundred years…”

Wei Xuan said in a deep voice: “As long as there are no external enemies, if we give it another hundred years, our Qingmu Sect may be able to train another Jindan ancestor!”

“Foreign enemies…”

Lu Qing looked towards the direction of Yiling Valley and suddenly threw out a jade slip: “This is what Old Ghost Yan ordered someone to send over. Take a look…”

When Wei Xuan took it and looked at it, an expression of disbelief and some surprise immediately appeared on his face.

After reading it, he handed the jade slip to Senior Brother Fu, Taoist Qian and others in the back.

When these foundation builders saw this, their eyes were filled with joy: “Ancestor, is this true? Is Old Ghost Yan really willing to swear that he will never invade our Mu Kingdom again in his lifetime?”

“Humph, whether it’s true or not, I will have to confirm it myself before my lifespan runs out…”

Lu Qing snorted coldly: “Even if his path is hopeless, there are other special Netherworld Oaths. Even if we, Jindan cultivators, violate them, we will suffer heavy losses… I remember the special talisman for signing the Netherworld Oath. There should be another copy in the warehouse, right?”

“Reporting to the ancestor, that is exactly the case…”

Taoist Qian replied quickly.

“I was planning to use it on that Patriarch Fang, but I didn’t expect that it would end up being used on Old Ghost Yan…”

Lu Qing shook his head.

Wei Xuan took a step forward and said, “If we unilaterally negotiate peace with Yiling Valley, will it affect the alliance with Xuantian Sect?”

“You don’t have to worry about this. Old Ghost Yan has also sent a proposal for peace talks to Xuantian Sect.”

Lu Qing shook his head and sneered again: “After all, Old Man Yan is here to live in retirement, not to fight and kill… Now that he has swallowed up Wu Kingdom and Yiling Valley, it is enough for him to be domineering and establish a family… But he can let go of it so much that he doesn’t even want to eat the fat meat of Mu Kingdom after I pass away. This person’s character is a bit beyond my expectations…”

“Perhaps… that’s not their intention. Even if Yiling Valley attacks, we can rely on our formation to defend Qingmu Forest without any problem… When the time comes, Yue State will support us and attack Wu State, and the enemy army will collapse…”

Senior Brother Fu speculated.

“That’s not what I meant. It’s true… After all, there is another Jindan cultivator in the Three Kingdoms, but Old Ghost Yan didn’t even mention it…”

Lu Qing suddenly said, “Fang Xi also killed the Grand Elder of Yiling Valley. If this vengeance is not avenged, Old Ghost Yan will not be able to convince the people… Never mind, it’s just a fight between high-level cultivators. There won’t be another war in the world of immortal cultivation.”

He looked at Elder Qian and said, “Two more foundation building masters are joining the sect today?”

“Exactly. One is Cao Chongyun and the other is Tie Jiu. Here are their respective information.”

Taoist Qian immediately handed over the wooden tablet of blood essence, jade slips and other items to Lu Qing.

“When the Qingmu Sect was in turmoil, someone from the Foundation Establishment Sect took the initiative to join. Hehe…”

Lu Qing didn’t pay much attention to the information, after all, all of it could be faked.

“Then, ancestor…what should we do?”

A hint of murderous intent appeared on Wei Xuan’s face.

“Listen to what they say and watch what they do…If their intentions are not pure, they will be exposed sooner or later.”

Lu Qing shook his head: “You can be more cruel to people from outside the sect, but it is better not to act rashly against people from our sect without any evidence, so as not to disappoint others…”

“I will take your advice!”

Wei Xuan and the others who were building the foundation all bent down and obeyed orders.
