Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 43

[Chapter 43: Signs (Please collect)]

“I wonder how Fellow Daoist Situ Ying is doing?”

Fang Xi looked at the new An Tianshi of the Situ family, and couldn’t find a topic to talk about for a long time, so he could only ask the doubts in his heart.

Situ Qingqing’s face became serious. “After investigation… this person was lazy in his work, deceived his superiors and subordinates, and took bribes. He has been arrested by the family and sentenced to be whipped with thunder and punished to face the wall… Were you in seclusion before? Otherwise, you should have known it long ago.”

“I see.”

Fang Xi nodded, feeling secretly happy that that shameless Situ Ying finally got his comeuppance!

I even developed a slight liking for the Situ family.

But this bit of goodwill was quickly extinguished by him, because he was a tenant farmer, and he was grateful for the landlord’s little benefits. To put it bluntly, he was still a slave in his bones!
However, on the surface, Fang Xi still showed his emotions and was extremely moved: “The Situ family is very observant. Miss Qingqing is here, and Qingtian will be…”

“This person… is too flattering.”

Situ Qingqing suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She wanted to ask more questions because Fang Xi was in the middle stage of Qi Refining. But now she said directly, “If you have any problems in the future, you can go directly to Cave No. 3 in the market to find me.”

He immediately steered the iron leaf boat and sped away.

Looking at Situ Qingqing who was leaving, Fang Xi narrowed his eyes slightly: “Hehe…”

He didn’t quite believe what Situ Qingqing said.

Through Di Qi, he also learned about the attitudes of those immortal cultivation families towards their own kind.

Even if the Situ family is a foundation-building family, every member of the family who possesses spiritual roots is important. How could they be punished for such a small matter?

Yes… For a cultivator, a few more buckets of spiritual energy is a small matter!
Therefore, Situ Qingqing’s transfer is very abnormal!
The other party may have other plans, or be investigating something in secret!
‘It can’t be that he is investigating me, right? ‘

Fang Xi came to the Emerald Bamboo Forest, pulled out the weeds with his bare hands, and suddenly sighed.

This market town…is not peaceful again!

In other words, we have just calmed down from the craze of the Purple Nether Mountain Secret Realm, and less than a year has passed, and it seems that there is an undercurrent lurking again!
‘I hope it won’t implicate me…’

“But I am a spiritual farmer employed by the Situ family. When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?”

“Why don’t we run away first? Anyway, I don’t care about the income from this kind of land… But the channel of Qingzhu Mountain Market is still very important…”

Fang Xi was a little hesitant for a moment.

But I soon decided to just observe and see.

…

Due to the appearance of Situ Qingqing, Fang Xi became somewhat suspicious and temporarily gave up his plan to go to the Daliang world and disguise himself as an outsider cultivator to sell monster meat at the market. He just honestly practiced the Changchun Jue, the Entanglement Technique, and became a spiritual farmer.

As a result, Fang Xi also discovered something.

Without any pills to swallow and practicing in an inferior spiritual environment, his progress in the fourth level of Changchun Jue was extremely slow.

I sit in meditation and cultivate my Qi for three or four hours every day, but my skills are still as slow as a snail.

According to his estimation, if he continued in this way, it might take more than ten years to complete the fourth level of Changchun Jue – not including the bottleneck of breaking through the fifth level.

It can be seen from this how difficult it is for independent cultivators and those with poor qualifications to cultivate immortality.

“It’s so difficult just to accumulate mana… let alone break through the bottleneck. This low-grade spiritual root is really miserable…”

“According to the information I have heard, the disadvantages of low-grade spiritual roots are all-round. Even if they are refining the same spiritual power in the elixir, the absorption rate is much lower than that of medium-grade and high-grade spiritual roots… How can I describe it in one word?”

After meditating again, Fang Xi stood up, his brows full of helplessness.

On the premise that his aptitude and spiritual vein environment remain unchanged, without the assistance of elixirs, he may not be able to cultivate to the realm of perfect Qi Refining in this lifetime!

“The only good news is that after achieving great perfection in Hun Yuan Jin, I can now lock the Qi and blood in my body… Even when I am a hundred years old, the Qi and blood barrier will not be a problem for me!”

“But my magic power has not yet reached the Great Perfection. I am not even qualified to sprint to the foundation-building stage!”

Fang Xi had a stern expression.

In fact, cultivators who have reached the great perfection of Qi training have the opportunity to independently break through to the foundation-building stage even without using foundation-building spiritual objects and foundation-building pills.

But the success rate is pitifully low, said to be less than 10%, and once failed, the person will die immediately.

Fang Xi never liked to gamble on the success rate. Once he was about to sprint to build his foundation, he had to get at least one foundation-building pill to ensure that he would not die even if he failed.

As long as you don’t die, you can start all over again!

He stood up, cleaned himself up, and walked out the front door.

“Hey, little brother next door, do you want to discuss the Yin and Yang with me?”

Next door, in the wooden house where Chen Ping originally lived, a seductive woman just came out and extended an invitation with a smile.

“Thank you, fairy, for not joking!”

Fang Xi refused solemnly and went to somewhere in Qingzhu Mountain.

He had a party with Master Jiuxuan and Di Qi.

…

Green Bamboo Mountain.

Near Lingtian District, there is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

Fang Xi specially hunted two pheasants and roasted them, sprinkled them with special spices, and they sizzled with oil and gave off an enticing aroma.

Master Jiuxuan and Di Qi sat on the side, watching with eager eyes.

Fang Xi looked around and felt a little regretful: “Fellow Daoist Chen didn’t come again…”

“Alas… you don’t know, Brother Chen has really become rich!”

Master Jiuxuan said in a sour tone, “Since purchasing the notes of the sect talisman master, Fellow Daoist Chen’s progress in making talismans has been rapid. It is said that he has recently been trying to make a first-class top-grade talisman…”

“this……”

Fang Xi was a little dumbfounded.

Could it be that… Chen Ping is really a rare talent in making talismans? He just didn’t realize it before?
“Not only that, Fellow Daoist Lu Zhi has also changed his attitude towards Fellow Daoist Chen. I saw them walking together arm in arm two days ago, very affectionate…”

Di Qi also started to feel jealous.

Even though he is considered a family cultivator, it is just a Qi Refining family and is not much stronger than a casual cultivator.

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

If he were asked to kill Chen Ping and replace him, he would be willing to do so.

What’s wrong with being a widow? What’s wrong with having a child?
He has a bad stomach and is suitable for eating soft rice, not to mention that Lu Zhi is quite beautiful…

“If Fellow Daoist Chen Ping becomes a first-class upper-grade talisman master, his status in the market will be no less than those masters who have reached the great perfection of Qi training.”

Fang Xi sighed and looked around: “I’ll wait until someday to prepare some generous gifts and pay a visit to one or two of them.”

As a casual cultivator, it is important to have this kind of vision.

“Of course, of course…” Master Jiuxuan nodded repeatedly. Although he felt sad, it did not prevent them from building a good relationship with Chen Ping. Maybe it would be useful in the future!
“Hehe… Don’t think about it.”

At this time, Di Qi sneered a few times and shook his head, saying, “Chen Ping has moved to the cave in the market. I went to visit him a few days ago, but was stopped at the door… It was someone from Fairy Yunmeng’s side! I think… after he became rich, he has long forgotten about us, his friends…”

“Is it Yunmeng Fairy again?”

Fang Xi instinctively felt that Chen Ping was not that kind of person, but if it was Fairy Yunmeng and Shen Haoran who did it, it would be possible.

These two have sharp vision and have invested in Chen Ping before.

Now that Chen Ping has become more powerful, it is natural for him to win over more people, expel old people, and replace his network of relationships.

It is said that some overbearing sects and families, if they encounter an outstanding cultivator with extraordinary talents in the four arts of cultivation, will directly abduct him and use him as a tool until he dies!

“But Chen Ping’s progress in the art of talismans is still somewhat abnormal… Did Situ Qingqing come here for him?”

An idea came to Fang Xi’s mind, and he asked the two sincerely, “Are there any rumors recently?”

Master Jiuxuan’s cheeks were rosy and he told a lot of strange stories.

Di Qi drank silently, occasionally adding a few words.

Fang Xi roughly understood that everything was normal in the market, and there was no particular price increase trend for magic tools and talismans.

Moreover, there was no news of war.

‘It seems that maybe I am a little bit paranoid?’

“Perhaps the Situ family has suddenly appointed a law enforcement elder who hates evil…”

Fang Xi comforted himself in his heart.

At this time, Di Qi said again: “The biggest news… is naturally the secret realm of Ziyou Mountain. It was conquered by the Red Leaf Valley and the Situ family and completely cleared out. Now that the blockade has been lifted, it is a wasteland. The independent cultivators went there to search several times, but found nothing…”

“The secret realm of Ziyou Mountain?”

Fang Xi thought of Old Maitou and fell silent.

After a while, Jiuxuan Shangren said enviously: “It seems that Ziyou Mountain is just a small secret realm, and it is not worthy of the joint efforts of two major forces… However, all the spiritual objects in it have been looted. Maybe in the next few years, the Situ family and Hongye Valley will have a few more foundation-building masters…”

The speaker may not mean it,
but the listener may take it seriously! Fang Xi felt his heart skip a beat when he heard this.

As the old saying goes, everything that rises must fall, and there is some truth to that.

The Situ family and Hongye Valley have obtained many treasures, and there is no guarantee that outsiders will not covet them.

Moreover, if these two families send out a few more foundation-building monks, will the other neighboring forces be happy?
Even if they are a little mean, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. After the meat is eaten, can the Red Leaf Valley and the Situ family really live in harmony?

‘Perhaps the recent abnormality is caused by this?’

Fang Xi was gnawing on a chicken leg, but his mood inexplicably became relaxed.

He is now at the bottom of the immortal world. No matter how things change above, it is none of his business. He just needs to hand in the food on time!

“What kind of monk war? We must not get involved!”

“When it comes to running away, no one in the world can compare to me!”

“If there’s chaos here, I’ll just go to Daliang and hide for a few years!”
