Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 293

[Chapter 292: Ten Years (Congratulations to the Silver Alliance)]

Yangyuan Cave.

“Alas… Elder Lu’s soul has returned to the void and left our sect… All of our sect’s disciples are heartbroken…”

…

Fang Xi looked at the sect leader Wei Xuan in front of him who was giving a long speech, and his emotions were very complicated.

“I expected this…but why did I not feel any emotion at all? I even felt like laughing.”

‘Strictly speaking, I have sent away the third of the Three Kingdoms’ Golden Elixirs… Old Ghost Jiang, Master Baifeng, and now Patriarch Lu Qing… Well, that useless external elixir from Yiling Valley doesn’t count as a Golden Elixir… It’s still a Foundation Establishment treasure.’

“The longer you live, the more you will see. The era of the previous generation of Jindan ancestors has come to an end…”

“Once Lu Qing dies, there will be no one in the Qingmu Sect who can stop me…”

He had a very rich inner drama, but on the surface he was still serious. He followed Zheng Tie and others to complete the funeral rituals and send Lu Qing off completely.

Finally, Wei Xuan made the final conclusion:

“Ancestor Lu guarded the sect, made many military achievements for our Qingmu Sect, and eliminated powerful enemies… Finally, a year ago, he signed a peace agreement between our Qingmu Sect and Yiling Valley, forcing Old Ghost Yan to swear an oath that he would never invade Qingmu Sect again in his lifetime!”

This person had reached the perfect stage of foundation building, and his voice spread far away.

“What?”

“Has the armistice been signed?”

“Very good!”

Fang Xi suddenly felt that the morale around him, which had been low since the death of Patriarch Lu, was instantly boosted!
“This Qingmu Sect… actually hid this from me… Well, who made me an outsider?”

“Releasing this news at this time and informing the whole sect and Mu Country is also to stabilize people’s hearts, right?”

“It seems… I am not the protagonist after all… The protagonists in those storybook novels have a disaster aura. Wherever they go, something bad happens. It’s either a disaster or a war… They die wherever they go…”

‘How come I came to the Aoki Sect and brought peace to the Aoki Sect?’

Fang Xi felt emotional in his heart, but still pretended to be surprised on his face. When he looked up, he saw Zheng Tie’s encouraging and affirmative eyes.

Immortal cultivators do not care about red tape, so after they had built their foundation and paid homage to the spirit tablet of Ancestor Lu, they dispersed.

At this time, a black light suddenly approached, and the cultivator inside was revealed to be “Tie Jiu”.

“Fellow Daoist Cao…how is your cultivation progressing?”

Tiejiu tried hard to force a smile, but unfortunately even the scar on his face looked a little stiff.

“With the help of the third-level spiritual vein cave, it’s quite good…”

Fang Xi smiled and chatted with Tie Jiu.

Tie Jiu then left, and Fang Xi looked at his back with a thoughtful expression: “This person probably also felt something was wrong, and was hit hard by reality, so he came to look for an ally…”

He didn’t blame the sect’s higher-ups for treating him differently. It didn’t matter anyway.

For workers who work hard to earn money, as long as the spiritual veins and caves provide enough, the rest can be ignored.

Thinking of this, Fang Xi returned to Zheng Tie’s cave to inquire about the news.

After all, it would be quite abnormal to go back and continue to meditate after such a big thing happened.

“My dear nephew… I just found out about this.”

Zheng Tie arrived later and sighed when he saw Fang Xi.

“In any case, this is a good thing after all… I was really afraid that after Patriarch Qing passed away, Yiling Valley would come knocking on our door.”

Fang Xi, however, showed a look of relief: “By then, all lives will be in ruins. If I were still a casual cultivator, I might die even faster…”

“My dear nephew, you have a long-term vision…” Zheng Tie nodded and encouraged him, “You joined our sect when it was in turmoil, which shows your loyalty. You are completely different from those who came later. The sect leader has instructed that your treatment will be the same as that of the core foundation builders of the sect, and we will definitely treat you equally!”

“Thank you, Uncle Zheng…”

Fang Xi immediately thanked him and asked about other news, such as the Xuantian Sect.

“You are right. Xuantian Sect has also signed the covenant. Now the Three Kingdoms’ cultivation world is completely at peace…”

Zheng Tie was deeply moved.

After all, he didn’t want to encounter such a war in the world of immortals.

“Ancestor Qing has done immeasurable good deeds… Thinking back to the time when Tie Jiu and I visited the Ancestor, the Ancestor’s voice and smile were still there, but now…”

Fang Xi sighed, and at the same time was speechless:

“The Three Kingdoms’ cultivation world has returned to peace… If I stay in Wandao Lake, it will be an eyesore…”

“Wait… I’ve already run away? That’s fine…”

…

“Alas, the Qing Patriarch has passed away… Even if there are no external enemies, the Qingmu Kingdom will not be peaceful in the future…”

Zheng Tie was worried.

Even though the Qingmu Sect now has third-level spiritual veins and formations, and its foundation-building cultivators are the best in the Mu Country in terms of strength and number, he does not feel at ease at all.

Without a Jindan cultivator, there is no confidence!

Even though Patriarch Lu Qing had arranged everything before he passed away, the more sophisticated the arrangements and plans, the more likely it is that flaws will appear, leading to a chain reaction collapse!

He looked at Fang Xi and warned him, “The sect still has seven years for the newcomers to build their foundation. After seven years, you must follow the path of Taoist Master Qian from the General Affairs Hall… Although cultivators of my generation value longevity and freedom, we also need to protect our way when necessary. We must not neglect the magic and spiritual tools of the foundation-building period…”

“Don’t worry, I know.”

Fang Xi showed a hearty smile…

…

Seven years later.

Inside the cave in the bamboo forest.

A figure flashed, and Fang Xi appeared from nothingness. He touched the storage ring on his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.

This time, he took the time to visit the Fragment World again, transformed himself into a mysterious wizard king, and obtained a lot of resources.

The most important of these is a batch of third-level spiritual wood, which can be used to make various high-level talisman papers.

As for the secret technique of making “Talisman Jade”?

Fang Xi pondered for a while and refined two ancient blank jade talismans. After several attempts, he found that conventional talisman-making techniques could not leave any traces on them, so he had to seal them up for the time being.

He thought about it and went to the refining room first.

Fang Xi’s eyes moved slightly, and he raised his hand to summon the ‘Qinghe Sword’.

After he refined the sword with the piece of third-grade top-grade spiritual wood obtained from Danya’s treasure house, its power became even more astonishing.

Not only that, the sword body gradually turned green like jade, and seemed to be transforming into jade.

“The power of the Qinghe Sword has increased again… Unfortunately, the increase is not large. This is the case for all third-grade high-quality spiritual woods, not to mention the third-grade low-quality spiritual wood I obtained this time…”

“Forget it. If you rashly sacrifice too many spiritual trees into it, it may cause the quality of the magic weapon to be mixed…”

‘Now the material of this ‘Qinghe Sword’ has almost reached the third-grade upper-grade level. If you want to increase its power, you must start with the ‘Zhu Xian Treasure Pattern’… Unfortunately…’

Fang Xi shook his head and sighed.

After being able to move freely, he certainly did not let go of those treasure patterns and seized a lot of them by trickery and force.

However, the world of fragments does have limitations. The treasure pattern is the highest level, and there is no way to advance upwards!

“After all, it is just a trial place for disciples who have completed their foundation building… The limit is for the opponent to be comparable to an ordinary early stage of Jindan or a fake Dan Zhenren… If it is higher, even a true genius will suffer heavy casualties…”

Fang Xi stroked the Qinghe Sword, feeling a little regretful.

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

This sword is of extraordinary significance to him, but it is conceivable that if the ‘Zhu Xian Baowen’ has no successor, this sword will inevitably fall behind the pace of his magic power improvement in the future and eventually become dispensable.

“Even though the power of the ‘Life and Death Seal’ grows much faster than the ‘Green Grain Sword’ when cultivated with the same golden elixir essence, could this be the limitation of the treasure pattern? Because of the quick success, it has somewhat damaged the foundation for future progress?”

“However, no matter what, this sword can be used until the late Jindan stage without any problems…”

“Although this treasure pattern technique is easy to master…it still has some hidden dangers. Fortunately, I have never practiced it myself…”

Fang Xi sat cross-legged, a crystal with a treasure pattern appeared in his hand, and he began to comprehend quietly.

Time flies by…

One month later.

Fang Xi had disheveled hair and looked very relaxed and comfortable as he lay on a bamboo chair, holding the Situ family’s corpse refining inheritance in his hand.

“I have almost comprehended the Corpse Control Technique… but the Soul Splitting Technique in the last chapter is a little troublesome…”

The sea of consciousness is where the soul is located and it is the most important and private part of a cultivator!

Even though the secret technique sounded very good, Fang Xi still hesitated when it came time to put it into practice.

Although, he felt that with his current spiritual power, perhaps comparable to that of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, it should not be a problem to actively split a part of his soul.

“However… it is better to wait until later, when you break through to the middle stage of Jindan… your soul will be stronger and the sequelae will be less…”

“But I have already roughly understood the method of refining the Mysterious Fire Demon Zombie. As long as there are enough raw materials, I can really try to refine it…”

“Although there is a third world waiting for me, I have already made a lot of money in the second world… Before I refine the Mysterious Fire Demon Zombie, I really don’t have much motivation to explore.”

At this moment, Fang Xi frowned.

He stood up, put the black book into the storage ring, and walked out of the cave.

In the green bamboo forest, Zheng Shan had been waiting there for a long time.

When he saw Fang Xi, he immediately showed a hint of joy and bowed: “Uncle Cao…Uncle Qian invites you!”

“Counting the days, the ten-year period has arrived…”

Fang Xi sighed and closed the cave door.

Although there were no valuables in the cave.

Even Daqing has been staying in the spirit beast bag and rarely comes out for some fresh air.

“Uncle Cao is truly a man who is devoted to his cultivation…”

Looking at Fang Xi’s leaving light, Zheng Shan smiled bitterly and continued to take care of the spiritual medicine garden.

At first, she naturally had some ideas. Although this Uncle Cao Chongyun Cao had an ordinary appearance, he was a foundation-building man after all!
Even if he was to be a concubine, many female disciples in the sect would be tempted.

However, this uncle-master has a very cold personality. She has been here for seven years, and they have only exchanged a few words. He just practices in the cave every day!
Zheng Shan couldn’t help but show a trace of resentment on her face…

…

General Affairs Hall.

Fang Xi entered and ordered his disciples to report.

Not long after, Taoist Qian was seen walking slowly towards them, and he looked like he had a lot on his mind.

When he saw Fang Xi, he just forced a smile and said, “Junior Brother Cao…you’re here.”

“The ten-year period has come. As a sect’s foundation-building member, I naturally have to accept missions and contribute to the sect.”

Fang Xi spoke righteously, but he stuffed a storage bag over with his backhand.

“Alas… Junior Brother Tie took the initiative to accept the mission five years ago and went out to fight…”

Taoist Qian seemed unhappy even after getting the spiritual stone.

But Fang Xi blew the spiritual tea slowly, not in a hurry at all, and did not ask any questions.

“Junior Brother Cao…” This kind of patience made Taoist Qian unable to hold back: “Don’t you want to know what happened?”

“If the sect wants me to know, I will know. If the sect doesn’t want me to know, I won’t ask for trouble.”

Fang Xi replied calmly, and then asked, “Brother Qian, is my mission giving you trouble?”

“No… no, since Junior Brother Cao is good at the art of talismans, then you can accept this mission. All you have to do is hand in a certain number of second-level talismans to the sect every year…”

Taoist Qian threw out a jade slip.

Fang Xi took it, took a quick glance at it, and found that it was an ordinary talisman-making task, so he nodded with satisfaction.

Although this task is somewhat onerous for a lower-middle-level second-level talisman master, and may delay his cultivation, and even cause too much loss of materials, he will have to pay for it out of his own pocket.

But for him, a third-level talisman master, there was naturally not much problem.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Qian. I’ll take my leave now…”

Fang Xi clasped his fists and left.

Taoist Qian looked at Fang Xi’s back, his eyes flickering: “These two entered the sect at the same time. Tie Jiu was determined to make progress, while Cao Chongyun was devoted to cultivation… Both of them seemed to have no problems… But after all, it’s only been ten years, so we have to wait and see…”

“The sect is in turmoil right now. Even though we are building our foundation, we are powerless…”

“Alas… How great would it be if the ancestor were still alive?”
