Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 925
[Chapter 923: Shocking Change]
In the living room, there sat a burly man and a beautiful woman in a white dress.
Fang Xi recognized these two people as ‘Hua Saburo’ and ‘Mrs. Aoi’.
Hua Sanlang comes from the command of Master Qiu Fu, and his relationship with him is unclear. He is suspected to be his lover.
Madam Kui is a subordinate of Master Zhao Fu.
At this moment, the two of them came together, making Fang Xi feel as if a storm was about to come.
“Fellow Daoist Hua and Fellow Daoist Kui, your presence at my residence today truly brings honor to my humble abode. Please have some tea…”
Fang Xi clasped his fists slightly and said.
“Haha, there’s no need to drink tea.”
Hua Sanlang has a sturdy appearance, masculine and powerful, and is extremely powerful. His voice is rumbling, like thunder. He must have practiced a thunder-attributed body-building technique: “I heard… Daoist friend went to Yongyun Shop before?”
“That’s right… Aren’t the talisman masters like me in the Talisman Master Association always purchasing there?”
Fang Xi blinked and asked knowingly.
“Haha… To be honest, the talisman paper in Yongyun’s shop is of average quality and expensive. It’s really not a good place to go. The female shopkeeper is even secretly colluding with Ge Lao, colluding with both insiders and outsiders to exploit us.”
Madam Kui was very direct in her words: “Daoyou Hua and I have a new store to introduce to you. We guarantee that the prices will be even lower than before… Are you interested?”
Fang Xi knew clearly in his heart: “This is forcing me to take sides… The Zhao and Qiu were not in a life-and-death relationship, but maintained a fragile alliance before Ge Lao passed away.”
He thought for a moment and replied, “Where to buy talisman paper is my personal matter.”
As soon as these words came out, Madam Kui and Hua Sanlang’s faces changed: “Mr. Fang, you are… not afraid of the wrath of Master Zhao Fu and Master Qiu Fu?”
“Could it be that in this fairy city, the other party still has the final say?”
Fang Xi asked back in surprise.
“Okay, okay, okay.”
Hanazaburo and Mrs. Aoi looked at each other, then stood up and left.
Fang Xi watched the two men leave, knowing that he would inevitably be subjected to a series of slander and suppression in the future.
But it doesn’t matter.
His main purpose of coming to the Lie Ri Xian City was to find a way to join a big force.
The more loyal and unyielding you are now, the more points you will get in the future!
…
Over the next period of time, Fang Xi indeed felt a vague resistance.
The Fu Master Association does not have any strong means, but they can spread rumors, discredit his craftsmanship, seize his customers, and even initiate a price war!
Given a choice, immortal cultivators would not stick to a particular talisman, not to mention that Fang Xi does not have any unique talisman as a moat.
It didn’t take long before income dropped visibly.
Faced with this situation, most cultivators would either choose to give in or join the gang of Zhao and Qiu and work together.
Or just go away.
After all, it is only a small circle, and the limit for it to be able to slightly influence the low-level talisman market in Lie Ri Xian City.
Change your place, jump out of the chessboard, and the world will be yours.
But Fang Xi has a goal here, so he won’t leave at will.
What’s more, according to his guess, if he dared to leave at this time, he might have to face the siege and attack of the two Mahayana monks.
With his mere ‘fusion’ cultivation level, it is impossible to stop him.
Of course, if we kill these two Mahayana masters, it would be a bigger problem…
All in all, neither is a good choice.
Fang Xi then slowly endured the hardship.
Anyway, his claim that he earned immortal jades by drawing talismans every day to pay for the rent of the cave and the expenses of cultivation… was all lies.
Even if you give up, you can still stay in the Lie Ri Xian City until the end of the True Immortal Realm!
Yongyun Shop.
“Give me three dozen, no, two dozen Ten Thousand Star Talisman Papers.”
Fang Xi walked into the shop and said to Yong Yunmian.
“Fellow Daoist…”
Yong Yunmian looked at Fang Xi, obviously a little touched, and quoted a cost price. At the end, she said, “I heard that the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce and the Yun family’s channels were taken over by Zhao and Qiu. Humph, they are just this much… I have a few more channels here. I need low-level talisman paper, but I only want high-quality ones…”
“Thank you, Shopkeeper Yong. Actually, if I run a few more steps every day and sell them to independent cultivators at a reduced price, I can barely make a living.”
Fang Xi smiled slightly and said in a very open-minded manner.
Yong Yunmian was stunned when she saw Fang Xi, who was so elegant. After a long while, she turned her head away, her eyes slightly red. “If my dead man had Master Fang Fu’s half-percent determination, he wouldn’t have… Alas…”
She sighed, tied up the talisman, handed it to Fang Xi, and whispered to herself: “Wait for the right time, maybe there will be changes…”
‘This female shopkeeper is not good enough…’
Fang Xi walked out of the store, speechless.
He just wanted to play a role, but he didn’t expect that he would deceive Yong Yunmian and tell him some secrets in just a few days.
“It seems that there might be a way out for Master Ge’s eighth great immortal thunder tribulation?”
‘Well, a Mahayana who has survived eight Immortal Thunder Tribulations has a different status in the True Immortal Realm and is often regarded as a ‘quasi-immortal’. After all, no one knows whether the other party will really survive the ninth Immortal Thunder Tribulation and ascend to heaven in one step to become an immortal immortal! Even if the probability is very small…’
“If Master Ge succeeds, not only will his status as a talisman master be greatly enhanced, but his own strength and status will also be greatly improved… He will be considered a hero in the Lie Ri Xian City.”
“I don’t know how much profit distribution is involved in this, all of which can make Mahayana kill or be killed. This stupid woman actually revealed it to me directly…”
Fang Xi touched his face and said, “Could it be that you are moved by my acting skills?”
He returned to the cave in Zhuque Lane, and his eyes suddenly moved, and he saw a large number of cultivators gathered outside the cave.
Shi Yushu, Ma Jing and Li Dao were all there, looking as if they had lost their parents.
Among the other group of monks who were confronting each other, an old woman was holding a document in the form of immortal seals and was shouting in a sharp voice: “Here is the title deed. This cave is the property of Zhengyang Sect. Now that Zhengyang Sect is gone, it belongs to our Zhang family. It has nothing to do with you…”
Shi Yushu’s face flushed, but he could not say anything to refute. He just said hesitantly: “I can leave, but Ma Jing and Li Dao are both our disciples. We set up a secret cave here to prevent this. Please take them in…”
Ma Jing and Li Dao, two half-grown boys, usually skipped classes to go to Taixu Palace and have fun, but at this moment their faces turned pale, like two quails being pushed around, unable to even fart for a long time.
“Alas… the sect’s fire seed is of such a character, Zhengyang Sect is finished.”

Beside him, an old cultivator sighed.
“Father, what happened?”
Fang Xi leaned over and asked.
“Greetings, senior…” The old cultivator observed Fang Xi’s cultivation level out of habit, and immediately bowed with a surprised look on his face: “The leader of Zhengyang Sect has died, and Zhengyang Sect has split up… Now we are waiting for the city guards to come and preside over the division of the family property…”
“How could the Zhengyang Sect suddenly…disappear?” Fang Xi was completely confused. If he remembered correctly, the leader of the Zhengyang Sect seemed to have the power of fusion? He was still alive…
“Alas, it’s Shenmu Palace… The young palace master got the ‘Spiritual Pill’ and was praised as ‘the appearance of an immortal’. He began to expand his territory… The small sects in that area, such as Zhengyang Sect, Heqing Sect, and Duandao Mountain… were all swept away. Now the leader of the family faction in Zhengyang Sect, the Zhang family, has brought people to make trouble. I’m afraid it’s all a mess.”
The old cultivator was clear and organized, explaining the whole story one by one.
“That one Yuan Shen Pill actually indirectly led to the demise of several combined sects?”
Fang Xi was secretly shocked when he heard this, and then he shook his head secretly when he saw Shi Yushu’s performance.
The other person who was sent by the sect master to teach these seeds must be an extremely upright person.
At this time, he was deceived by the old woman of the Zhang family.
Sure enough, a moment later, the city guards arrived and after a debate, Shi Yushu was defeated in disgrace.
If he had argued with reason at the beginning, this wouldn’t have happened.
But if you lose your spirit, this is the outcome.
“Mr. Zhang…”
Shi Yushu looked at the old woman expectantly: “What do you think of my suggestion?”
Several elders of the Zhang family discussed it, and finally an old man stepped out and sighed, “If these two are really talented and beautiful, our Zhang family will naturally take them in… But I heard about their reputation in Tianqing Academy before, and looking at their current cultivation, they are really not worth cultivating… If they are willing to marry into the family as sons-in-law, we can consider it.”
Before Shi Yushu could say anything, Ma Jing finally exploded: “No, I don’t want to be a breeding pig. There is no way to be a son-in-law!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Dao, who seemed to be somewhat moved, was suddenly startled and stopped talking.
“Haha, okay, my Zhang Family Temple is small and cannot accommodate the two big Buddhas of yours. From today on, we will just be strangers.”
The old woman from the Zhang family sneered.
“Hmph, go if you want. My fate is in my own hands. One day, I will make you regret it.”
Ma Jing seemed to have been suppressed for years, and finally he shouted this sentence, feeling very happy in his heart.
He roared and ran away without a trace, dragging Li Dao with him.
Fang Xi’s expression became even more strange after hearing this: “My fate is determined by myself, not by God? I think there’s a famous saying in a martial arts game in Taixu Palace. I remember that the levels were all extremely easy, and the main theme was a hot-blooded reckless person…”
But this is the world of immortal cultivation where people are eaten without leaving any bones behind!
He was speechless and returned to the outside of his own cave.
At this time, most of the crowd who were watching the excitement had dispersed, and a figure walked over: “Brother Fang…”
“Brother Huang.”
Fang Xi was a little surprised that this person turned out to be Huang Jing, the steward of Fengyuanzhai.
“I heard about you and came to see…”
Huang Jing exchanged a few words of greeting.
“Don’t worry, I can hold on. I’d also like to ask you to keep an eye out for the ‘Six Immortals Flying Pill’ for me.”
Facing this person, Fang Xi did not show his bleak side. Instead, he revealed some of his strength.
Fengyuansai mainly relies on the power of the Chamber of Commerce, and most of the deacons have the same temperament as businessmen. If they see that things are impossible to do, they will most likely turn around and leave.
“That’s great. I don’t have many friends in Baihua Pavilion, and you are one of them…” The smile on Huang Jing’s face seemed more sincere.
Fang Xi also deliberately made himself owe the other party a favor. As the old saying goes, those who owe money are the biggest… No, when you are in trouble, those who are willing to lend you money are often those who have lent you money before.
You owe someone a favor, and they will feel better when they see you.
And if the other party owes you a favor, and it is even to the point where you can’t repay it, then you may have no choice but to kill him…
