Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 707

[Chapter 705 Initiation]

Black Rock Market.

East of the city.

Now, in the neighborhood where Fang Xi lives, there are more than a dozen scattered individual cultivators.

Most of the independent cultivators have opened up some spiritual fields at their doorsteps, growing some spiritual rice, fruits, vegetables and the like.

Over the past twenty years, the population of Black Rock City has not decreased but has increased significantly.

This is probably because the people from the wilderness continue to return and the monks in the city multiply.

This day.

A young man with clever features came to Fang Xi’s cave with a few pieces of monster meat and said, “Uncle… Xiao Chong is here to see you again.”

The door of the cave opened and Fang Xi walked out with his hands behind his back.

Seeing the monster meat in Xiao Chong’s hand, he couldn’t help but smile: “Come on, why are you being so polite?”

“My master said, uncle, you are a hidden talent. Let me learn from you!”

Xiao Chong said sincerely: “If it weren’t for the uncle’s previous guidance on swordsmanship, I might have been killed in the wild this time…”

“With your current cultivation level at the initial stage of foundation building, coupled with a low-grade spiritual flying sword, it is still very dangerous in the wild. You may die at any time and anywhere… After all, those powerful wild beasts and evil creatures will not reason with you. If your mother knew about this, she would definitely not accept it…”

Fang Xi pulled out the wine gourd and took a sip of green bamboo wine.

Back then, Widow Liang risked her life to bring back some supplies, but her health became poor since then, and she passed away ten years later.

Fortunately, the little Chongzi had already grown up by then, and with the help of his master Zhou Jun, he overcame many levels of Qi refining and successfully established his foundation!

After Xiao Chong established his foundation, he joined a ‘Monster Hunting Team’ formed by a small circle of casual cultivators nearby, and often went out to hunt monsters and obtain monster meat.

The resources in the wilderness are actually extremely rich; it just depends on whether the monks are willing to risk their lives to obtain them.

Nowadays, many independent cultivators in Heiyanfang City have discovered several relatively safe hunting places by filling up their lives one by one.

Of course, although it is said to be safe, a cultivator who has established his foundation can still die if he is not careful.

Even if a cultivator is at the Jindan or Yuanying stage, if he encounters a wild beast, the only thing he has left is death.

The strange thing is that in the past twenty years, Black Rock Market has never been attacked by wild beasts or evil creatures.

Fang Xi knew this very well, it was most likely the Triangle Rhino’s fault!

The ancient wild beast left its aura here, so wouldn’t all the beasts retreat?

The reason why the other party did this was probably because he was just raising pigs.

Looking at the thriving Black Rock Market and the upcoming formation of a new monastic civilization and ecology, Fang Xi knows that the day of harvest is not far away!

“I’ll go see Master…”

After talking for a while, Xiao Chong stood up to say goodbye and went to visit Zhou Jun.

According to Fang Xi’s perception, Zhou Jun’s injuries continued to worsen. If he was still unable to save himself, it would probably take another few years.

“That’s interesting!”

He murmured and returned to his cave.

There was a flash of silver light in the sky, and a little blue bird flew out with a piece of letter in its mouth.

Fang Xi took it and read it, and it was indeed a letter from Yun Xi and Liu Xu.

This time in the letter, the two women not only shared some information about the increasingly terrible situation in Tianfan City, but also talked about a difficult problem they were facing.

Yun Xi and Liu Xu entered the Earthly Immortal Realm. Although their cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds, they were still some distance away from breaking through the bottleneck of Return to the Void.

At this time, among the sisters and fellow apprentices with them, there was a senior sister who had already cultivated to the perfect state of transformation of the spirit, and even completed the auxiliary practice of the Five Elements Kung Fu.

At this time, he wanted to break through the bottleneck of returning to the void, but he was suffering from the lack of spiritual objects. He borrowed from many sisters…

‘In Tianfan City, can I still buy the Return to Void Spirit Items? Or is it through the Tianmei Sect’s channels?’

‘Is he a liar?’

Fang Xi blinked.

Fairy Yun Xi and Liu Xu were in a dilemma at this time. After all, the friendship between fellow disciples was there. If they did not help, they would lose popularity and might even offend their future uncle Fan Xu!
Fang Xi would never give advice on such matters, so he could only let the two girls decide for themselves.

“Master, Master, when are we going to go out and play? It’s so boring here…”

Xiaoqing landed on the ground and turned into a girl with bright eyes and a kind look. She pulled Fang Xi’s sleeve and said.

“Going out to play? Don’t you know how dangerous the outside world is?”

Fang Xi smiled and shook his head: “With a temporary rest here, you have 20 years of leisure, you should be smiling secretly…”

What’s more, for a Return to Void cultivator to waste twenty years just to hunt an ancient wild beast is nothing.

Some people hunt for prey continuously for fifty or a hundred years.

Of course, that situation is also very special. Eighty percent of the materials of the ancient wild beasts hunted are extremely rare, and are closely related to breakthroughs in cultivation and even saving lives.

“That’s right…if you stay, you can still watch a good show.”

Xiao Qing looked towards Zhou Jun’s cave: “That old man is not far from death. Is he preparing to take over someone else’s body?”

After all, Zhou Jun is a Nascent Soul cultivator. If his physical body collapses, he can still use his Nascent Soul to take over another body!
In this way, he can recover quickly. And if the body he takes over is very suitable, it is best if the spiritual roots are the same and they practice the same method, then he can recover quickly.

After all, after the Nascent Soul takes over another body, there is no need to go through tribulations to condense the Nascent Soul. It only needs to restore magic power.

“Maybe…”

Fang Xi looked in the direction of Zhou Jun’s cave with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

…

Half a month later.

There was a loud bang between heaven and earth, and spiritual energy from a hundred miles around swarmed in and gathered somewhere in the west of the city.

A spiritual pressure far beyond the Jindan stage emerged and continued to spread in all directions, shocking people within a hundred miles.

“That is…”

“The celestial phenomenon of forming a baby?”

“In the direction of Leihuo Hall, could it be that Master Leihuo is about to condense his Nascent Soul?”

Many monks stopped what they were doing, with shock and envy appearing on their faces.

“Oh no! This market is just starting to pick up, but now it’s going to be in chaos…”

The other old cultivators were filled with grief and almost cursed: “How could the Tianfan Clan be willing to see a Yuanying Zhenjun emerge from the Leihuo Hall? I’m afraid they will immediately provoke a war…”

Fang Xi had to admit that what the other party said made sense.

But the one who should be really anxious is Zhou Jun.

This person hid his cultivation level, and the group of Jindan cultivators could not discover it at all.

But if it is a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is different.

Therefore, no matter what plans they have, they should start to implement them immediately.

“Master Leihuo… escaped a disaster, founded a gang, gathered resources… and reached the Nascent Soul bottleneck in just 20 years?”

Fang Xi touched his chin and looked at the direction where the spiritual clouds were gathering: “You really have the fate of being the protagonist…”

Amidst the strange light flashing above his head, a special poisonous insect that looked like an octopus spider emerged, and it looked eager to try towards the spiritual cloud, or to be more precise, the person with great luck under it.

This fifth-level luck Gu has been quite helpful to him ever since he obtained it.

Until now, he is still hiding the secret for Fang Xi.

However, as the realm continues to break through, the effect of this insect will only get worse, unless… it is re-refined to upgrade the grade!
Fang Xi has already found the method of refining in the Valley God Realm, but it is extremely difficult to refine this fifth-grade insect to the sixth grade.

“Nascent Soul… there are cultivators who have reached the Perfect Core Formation stage and have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage?!”

Inside Zhou Jun’s cave, Xiao Chong was also extremely surprised as he looked at this scene.

“Alas… I originally thought that I could hold on for a little longer.”

Zhou Jun looked at the strange phenomenon, sighed and waved his sleeves.

A black light emerged and entangled the insect.

Xiao Chong was startled for a moment, snorted, and two streams of sword energy spurted out of his nose.

His swordsmanship was only average, but he had a ‘Lung Gold Sword Qi’. Normally, he could inhale and exhale the essence of the five metals, refine and store it in the lung meridians. When needed, he would snort coldly and release it through his nasal cavity, hurting people without being seen. It was his trump card to save his life!

Unfortunately, the sword energy hit the dark glow and disappeared without a trace.

“Master… why?”

Xiao Chong’s face was full of disbelief.

Immediately, a pitch-black tripod-shaped magic weapon appeared above Zhou Jun’s head. The fluctuations it emitted made Xiao Chong’s face change suddenly: “Jiandan magic weapon… Master, you are actually a Jindan cultivator…”

“No!”

Zhou Jun smiled slightly and brought Xiao Chong into a secret room.

He sat cross-legged, with a spiritual light flickering above his head and a Nascent Soul emerging.

This Nascent Soul looked a little thin, and his face was somewhat different from Zhou Jun’s.

After all, Zhou Jun lived in seclusion here and his appearance changed.

At this time, he looked at Xiao Chong and sneered: “Disciple… you have helped Master a lot before, help Master again today!”

After Yuanying finished speaking, he made a hand gesture.

Along with the sound of mysterious incantations, it disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The next moment, Zhou Jun’s Nascent Soul emerged from Xiao Chong’s sea of consciousness!

“Oh no…”

Tears welled up in Xiao Chong’s eyes, and he thought of many legends of Yuanying old monsters taking over other bodies and being reborn…

…

“Has it started yet?”

Fang Xi took the wine gourd, took a sip of green bamboo wine, and watched the thunders falling in the distance.

Although for him now, a mere Nascent Soul thunder tribulation can be broken with a snap of a finger.

But for a Nascent Soul cultivator who has just broken his elixir and become an infant, it is a test of life and death!

Boom!
Thunder after thunder struck down, and in the blink of an eye, it was thundering past the ninth level!
“This Leihuo Zhenren, no, Leihuo Zhenjun, really has some luck… He actually succeeded.”

Xiaoqing commented calmly.

“A blessing in disguise, a blessing in disguise, a disaster in disguise!”

A strange curve appeared at the corner of Fang Xi’s mouth.

No one knows the nature of Black Rock Market today better than him.

I don’t know if the breakthrough of a Nascent Soul can attract the ancient beast?

Even if he didn’t use the luck Gu now, Fang Xi knew that Lord Leihuo’s luck had definitely declined to the extreme. It had already reached the point where blood clouds were covering his head, and he could face a bloody disaster at any time!

…

Lord Leihuo overcame the tribulation and achieved Nascent Soul!

The Tianfan Gang immediately surrendered!
Just when everyone in the Black Rock Market was celebrating, thinking that good days were coming.

That night…

“Nine moons, so spectacular…”

Fang Xi moved out a rattan chair, looked at the moonlight, and muttered to himself.

At this time, his spiritual thoughts had already been released outside, and there were also many puppets and the beasts of vitality created by his secret technique of transforming all things, monitoring the movements in various places in the Black Rock Market.

“Can the promotion of a Nascent Soul cultivator attract the Triangle Primordial Rhino?”

Fang Xi was somewhat skeptical about this. After all, for a sixth-level ancient beast, an ordinary Nascent Soul did not seem to have much appeal.

Soon, his spiritual sense discovered some traces.

Boom boom!

In the darkness, heavy footsteps came closer and closer.

Countless mists dispersed, revealing a huge wild beast like a rhinoceros.

It has three pointed horns standing side by side on its head, all of which are light golden in color.

At this moment, a roar was heard that shook the Black Rock Market.

The terrifying aura of wild beasts filled the air, causing all the monks in the city to recall the fear they faced that night more than 20 years ago!

“Triangular Rhinoceros!”

“No, it’s so much smaller, and its aura is only level five… The color of the horn is wrong too.”

Fang Xi scanned the area with his spiritual sense and immediately understood: “Could this be the cubs of those two ancient wild beasts?”

“Yes, an ordinary Nascent Soul is just average for a Primordial Ancient Wild Beast, but for a cub, it is a good tonic.”

This Black Rock Market is actually a breeding farm designated by the ancient wild beasts!

Returning to the Void to harvest the Transformed God, and the Transformed God to harvest the Nascent Soul, it makes sense!
‘Now the two Primordial Ancient Wild Beasts don’t like this place, but this fifth-level wild beast is just right for this place. Not only can it greatly replenish the flesh and blood of the cultivators, but it can also familiarize itself with the spells of the human cultivators…’

Fang Xi felt slightly touched.

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

It is said that parents love their children by planning for them in the long run.

Those two Primordial Wild Beasts specially opened up such a low-level breeding ground for human cultivators. Now it seems that it was just to meet the needs of their cubs…

The wild beast roared, shocking the entire city.

Suddenly, a voice of great grief and anger came from a cave.

Boom!

A thundercloud several acres in size emerged, with spiritual flames rising from it.

“Wild beast…I will fight you to death!”

The voice of the ‘True Lord of Thunder and Fire’ rumbled, and clouds containing the power of thunder and fire enveloped the wild beast.

“Um?”

Fang Xi’s eyes lit up, and he saw in the clouds of thunder and fire, a strong man in his forties with purple hair and beard was making hand gestures and waving a somewhat tattered thunder and fire flag.

“I seem to have seen this spiritual treasure before… It was the life treasure of a captain who had reached the state of transformation. It seems that he has fallen, and the magic treasure has been picked up by others…”

Fang Xi felt emotional.

At this moment, he saw that True Lord Leihuo had not entangled the wild beast at all, and was righteously fighting for a chance to escape for his subordinates and independent cultivators.

On the contrary, he kept chanting spells and took the opportunity to throw away the flag of the psychic treasure.

The thunder and fire in the sky turned into a cage, temporarily trapping the triangular rhinoceros.

He let out a long roar, and thunder and fire responded, immediately transforming into a beam of light and escaping for their lives!

Swoosh!
The spiritual power of heaven and earth shook, and countless points of light gathered together, breaking the cage of thunder and fire.

If this spiritual treasure was in the hands of a Divine Transformation cultivator, it would definitely be able to trap this triangular rhinoceros for a longer period of time.

But its master is just a Nascent Soul, and the Triangular Rhinoceros is best at breaking formations!

The three-cornered rhinoceros roared, and a light golden horn on its head roared. A golden light shot out and cleansed the night.

Master Leihuo still had an expression of relief on his face as he escaped, but in an instant he lost all his breath and fell headfirst from mid-air.

In his Dantian Qi Sea, the Nascent Soul that had just condensed had a look of shock and anger on its face. A beam of golden light pierced through his chest and then rolled back.

If this Lord Leihuo is determined to fight to the death, Fang Xi will take advantage of the opportunity.

But seeing his useless performance, he just stood by and watched.

At this moment, Fang Xi saw the Nascent Soul wrapped in golden light and sinking into the mouth of the triangular Nascent Rhino.

After chewing it twice, its small eyes suddenly lit up!
A fourth-level Yuanying may be just a taste for a Yuangu desolate beast, but for a fifth-level desolate beast, it is still a small benefit.

The triangular rhino roared and swallowed up the body of Lord Leihuo again.

The bodies of immortal cultivators are rich in the vitality of heaven and earth, and they taste great to wild beasts and monsters!
After the triangular rhino ate the Thunder Fire Master, the golden color on its small horn seemed to become deeper, and a pattern appeared.

Buzz!
A golden light flashed, and wherever it passed, the formations set up by those casual cultivators collapsed…

Boom!

Boom!

The triangular rhinoceros stepped into the market town and with one step, a stone building was reduced to dust.

No matter whether it was the magic weapon or spiritual weapon of the Qi-refining and foundation-building cultivator, or the magic weapon of the Jindan cultivator, when they hit the Triangular Rhinoceros, not even a white dot could appear.

Obviously, these attacks were not even enough to tickle the Triceratops.

It glanced around, selected a few Jindan Zhenren, and opened its bloody mouth…

“It’s a disaster! It’s a disaster!”

“Oh my god… wild beasts broke into the city. Why did I have to encounter such a tragedy twice in a row?”

East of the city.

Because the monks lived sparsely together, the attention of the triangular rhinoceros had not been attracted yet.

But all the monks were in panic and fled in all directions like frightened birds and beasts.

One of the white-haired old Qi-refining cultivators looked at the triangular rhinoceros and started cursing.

Obviously, he has gone crazy!
Fang Xi listened to a few words and roughly understood that most of this person’s descendants died in the last time the wild beasts broke into the city.

He managed to escape with his grandson with great difficulty, and after enduring many hardships in the wilderness, he finally returned to the city to settle down.

It’s rare that I have had a few days of peace, and today I even saw Yuanying Zhenjun transcending the tribulation.

I thought the peaceful days would last forever, but the wild beasts came again!

This kind of contrast is indeed easy to make people despair!
“This is the wilderness!”

“Did our ancestors always go through so much hardship to open up each piece of land?”

Fang Xi sighed and said to Xiao Qing beside him, “Go…capture that wild beast alive!”

“Does it have to be alive?”

Xiao Qing pouted: “This is a bit troublesome…”

Despite saying so, she still turned into a stream of green light and flew out.

Chirp!
The triangular rhino lowered its head and was about to eat a group of Qi-refining monks when it was suddenly hit by a ball of green flame.

Along with the clear sound of the phoenix, the ball of blue phoenix fire suddenly exploded.

This spiritual flame immediately burned away the thick skin of the triangular rhinoceros, and strands of green tassels continued to penetrate into the bones, internal organs and other vital parts…

The triangular rhinoceros was blown away and couldn’t help but let out a scream.

Above its head, three pointed horns shone brightly and suddenly rushed into the void.

The three golden lights merged into one another and turned into a golden cloud with countless runes flickering in it.

A silver light flashed in the void, and an extremely majestic blue fire phoenix emerged.

The wings of this Green Fire Phoenix were spread out, and green flames seemed to be burning on each feather, with silver phoenix characters running through them.

With just a slight fan, a blue fire mixed with silver light flew out, and the wind took advantage of the fire, easily evaporating the golden glow!
Not only that, the huge blue fire phoenix swooped down, and a blue flaming claw emerged, leaving three hideous wounds side by side on the back of the triangular rhinoceros. There was also blue flames burning the flesh near the wounds…

The Three-Cornered Rhinoceros was furious and started fighting with the Blue Fire Luan.

The casual cultivators below took the opportunity to escape, their hearts full of doubts: “Is that… a fifth-level divine beast? Why is it fighting with wild beasts and coming to save us… Could it be a spiritual pet of a senior?”

Most of the immortal cultivators had quick thinking, and someone guessed the truth immediately, with a hint of ecstasy appearing on his face.

In the wilderness, only the monks who have reached the state of spiritual transformation have the basic conditions for migration!

If you want to leave this damn place, you need the protection of at least a Divine Transformation cultivator!

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they searched, they could not find any trace of that ‘senior’…

…

“It’s really spectacular…”

Fang Xi stood at the entrance of his own cave, looking at the fight between two terrifying beasts, and let out a sigh.

At this time, he saw the door of Zhou Jun’s cave not far away open, and a young man walked out in a daze.

“Xiao Chong, do you want to have a drink?”

Fang Xi raised the gourd in his hand.

Xiao Chong’s wooden eyes turned, and he seemed to have experienced a lot.

He came to Fang Xi, took the gourd, and started drinking.

The green bamboo wine slid down the throat, leaving only a faint bitter taste.

Xiao Chong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable: “My master… has passed away…”

Before, Zhou Jun suddenly burst out with the power of Nascent Soul and even took over his body. Xiao Chong almost thought he was dead.

But unexpectedly, the process of taking over another’s body ended in failure for some reason.

Instead, he gained a lot of experience and memories of Nascent Soul cultivators, which can be regarded as the most precious wealth on the path of cultivation!

Xiao Chong almost lived the life of a Nascent Soul cultivator from another perspective. After that, not to mention the Nascent Soul, at least he could cultivate to the Core Forming Stage without any problems!
“Oh? Why is that?” Fang Xi asked in surprise.

“Master… he already had an old injury, and his injury worsened today, so he passed away…” Xiao Chong originally wanted to tell the truth, but when it came to his lips, he immediately changed his words.

“Haha, Xiao Chong, you have gained experience.”

Fang Xi nodded when he heard this: “If you can do this, your master’s efforts will not be in vain…”

“What?”

The little bug jumped back a few steps as if struck by lightning, and a lightning ball appeared on the palm of its hand behind its back.

“No need to show off to me the life-saving item your Nascent Soul Master left for you…”

Fang Xi took out another wine gourd and drank a sip of Qingzhu wine casually: “Your master did not take over your body, but gave you an initiation!”

If it was a case of possession, a mere cultivator in the early stage of foundation building would not be able to resist at all.

The secret technique that Zhou Jun performed was the “initiation method” that was passed down from Buddhism. It was equivalent to giving up everything he had and passing on part of his experience, knowledge, and even skills to his successor.

Of course, if one inherits the magical power, it may cause obstacles to breaking through the realm in the future, which will do more harm than good.

Therefore, when many monks perform the initiation method, they only retain the memory and let the magic power dissipate automatically…

Looking at it again now, Fang Xi knew that this little insect contained a lot of life energy. It was dormant at ordinary times, but would appear and lend a helping hand at the critical moment when it was time to break through to a higher realm.

“It’s not possession? It’s initiation?!”

Xiao Chong muttered a few words, and suddenly his eyes turned red: “Master, why didn’t you tell me?”

“Maybe it’s because… he wants you to know that people in the world of immortal cultivation are treacherous. This is also the last lesson he teaches you!” Fang Xi replied with emotion.

“Who are you, uncle?”

Xiao Chong did not give up his vigilance and asked seriously.

To know that the master is a Nascent Soul cultivator, but the master knows nothing about this person, unless…

Chirp!

At this time, the battle between the giant beasts in the distance finally came to an end. The Blue Fire Luan grabbed the incapacitated Triangular Rhinoceros and flew over here.

Fang Xi took light steps and landed on top of Xiaoqing’s head. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Xiaochong.

Xiao Chong felt his whole body tremble: “God Transformation…Venerable God Transformation?!”

After all, he is a cultivator from the earthly realm, and his knowledge far exceeds that of cultivators from the lower realms.

We also know that before the Black Rock Market declined, it was ruled by the Great Return to Void and the Venerable Transformation of the Gods!

It is said that at that time, a venerable god of transformation swept away all the evil spirits, and the area around the market was extremely safe, and it was a paradise for human cultivators…

“Xiao Chong… No, Liang Rulong, we’ll say goodbye today and see each other again if we’re destined to.”

Fang Xi transmitted the message through his spiritual consciousness, and casually injected the ‘痋术’ he had gained from studying the Hun Lao Snake in recent days into the man’s sea of consciousness, and then paused.

The Blue Fire Luan turned into a blue flame and disappeared in a flash…
