There were three Yang Shen realm cultivators outside, and one of them seemed to have not dealt with Jian Zong very well. Su Xiaofan did not dare to enter into deep cultivation in such a place.
Of course, Su Xiaofan wasn't afraid of those Yangshen, but he didn't want to reveal his own trump card, being obscene... No, keeping a low profile is the way to go.
Feeling the warmth in the palm of his hand, Su Xiaofan injected a trace of spiritual power into it.
Just like water dissolving in the sea, the spiritual power was instantly integrated into the mysterious jade.
When he reached the Yangshen realm, Su Xiaofan could sense his own Qi even if he was hundreds of miles away. This was due to the spiritual power he had cultivated, and he immediately felt a sense of connection with the mysterious jade.
Seeing that Xuan Yu could absorb his own spiritual power, Su Xiaofan immediately increased the input of spiritual power.
I really underestimated this mysterious jade before. After absorbing half of Su Xiaofan's spiritual energy, the mysterious jade glowed with a hint of gold, but it could no longer contain the spiritual energy.
Su Xiaofan did not try to absorb the spiritual power of the mysterious jade, because as long as the spiritual power in the mysterious jade is used, it will cause the mysterious jade to be damaged. This thing must be used at critical moments.
After putting away the mysterious jade, Su Xiaofan started practicing his martial arts. He still controlled his cultivation at the early stage of foundation building, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy was not very fast.
However, after one night, the spiritual power consumed in Su Xiaofan's body due to charging the mysterious jade was basically replenished.
At night, the Yang Shen consciousness, which seemed to be not very friendly, glanced at the Jianzong station again.
However, after sensing that Su Xiaofan's cultivation was only at the initial stage of foundation building, the Yang Shen cultivator no longer paid attention to this area.
"Junior brother, how about it? It's much faster to practice here than outside."
Early the next morning, Fang Yijun came to the igloo where Su Xiaofan lived. Judging from his appearance, he probably didn't notice the Yang Shen cultivator's prying eyes yesterday.
"Yes, it is almost the same as the core of the inner circle of the Qinling restricted area."
Su Xiaofan agreed, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart. How dare he open his mouth to absorb spiritual energy yesterday? At best, he could only recover the spiritual power to charge Xuan Yu.
"Let's go, I'll take you around to get acquainted with you in the city. Many things will be easier to handle in the future."
Fang Yijun walked out of the igloo first and called Yang Xiu who was in another igloo.
"Actually, in this city, you only need to know people from the Dong family and the Eight Immortals Sect..."
Fang Yijun told Su Xiaofan about the distribution of forces in Fang City. Although Taoist Han also talked about it yesterday, Fang Yijun undoubtedly explained it in more detail.
Among the three forces in Fang City, there is a Yang Shen cultivator from the Dong family, and He, the fifth immortal from the Eight Immortals Sect, is also permanently stationed in Fang City.
There was also a casual cultivator who represented the alliance of more than 300 casual cultivators in the Glacier restricted area. However, when he mentioned that person, Fang Yijun's expression was quite disapproving.
"There are so many casual cultivators in the restricted area?"
This was the first time Su Xiaofan heard about this, and he couldn't help but ask: "What kind of cultivation are these casual cultivators?"
"There are a total of forty-six Yang Shen cultivators in the casual cultivators. In fact, these casual cultivators are very good, but if they cannot unite, they will become a loose sand in the end."
What Fang Yijun said made Su Xiaofan a little shocked. In addition to the sect family, there were actually more than forty cultivators in the Yangshen Realm. This clearly shows how powerful this glacier restricted area is.
However, according to Fang Yijun's words, there are many internal battles among the casual cultivators. There is no powerful figure who can control these casual cultivators. The alliance is very loose and divided into seven or eight large and small forces, some of which are even hostile to each other.
If you are not united internally, you will naturally have no deterrent effect externally.
Therefore, when encountering some important matters that need to be decided, the opinions of casual practitioners are often the least valued.
Letting them station a Yang Shen cultivator in Fangshi would only give face to the so-called loose cultivator alliance.
"Brother, I heard that there are some cultivators from abroad in the Glacier Restricted Area? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"
Su Xiaofan suddenly thought of this matter. He really wanted to understand the practice system of overseas cultivators.
"Overseas practitioners?"
Hearing Su Xiaofan's words, Fang Yijun burst into laughter, "There are no cultivators overseas, they are just evolutionaries!
Those guys are similar to Chaofan. They have no cultivation system at all. They are just evolving based on instinct. Don’t pay attention to those people. They are just cannon fodder..."
Fang Yijun was very dissatisfied with overseas cultivators. There were only twenty or thirty overseas cultivators in the Glacier Restricted Area, and most of them were from Southeast Asia and Europe.
These people can also absorb spiritual energy, but they can only rely on spiritual energy to evolve. At best, they are only at the foundation-building stage. Even in the casual cultivator alliance, they are just cannon fodder.
"Senior Brother Fang, what kind of influence does our Yang family belong to?"
Yang Xiu asked from the side. He was feeling depressed at the moment. Grandpa didn't say anything. He couldn't even figure out which force the Yang family represented.
"Your Yang family represents the country."
When it came to the ownership of the Yang family, Fang Yijun's face became a little serious, "Some matters in the country will be communicated through Mr. Yang, and most of the forces from all parties will cooperate..."
Although they are thousands of miles away, the roots of these cultivators in the Glacier Restricted Area are still in the land of China, which they cannot leave behind.
Therefore, Yang Lao, who represents the country, has a special status in the penalty area.
Mr. Yang does not belong to any force, but all the forces will give Mr. Yang face, so he can be regarded as a faction of his own.
Of course, those forces also understand that Mr. Yang seems to be alone.
However, the relevant domestic departments must have secretly placed many people in various sects, aristocratic families or casual cultivators. If Mr. Yang raises his voice, there will be countless followers.
Anyway, the power of the Glacier Forbidden Zone is that there is me among you, and you among me. All kinds of relationships are complicated.
Several people were talking and had arrived in front of an igloo. Fang Yijun stood outside the house and shouted: "Uncle Dong, are you always in there?"
"The little sword god is here, why are you so polite?"
An old man's voice came from inside, "Come in, I'm making tea right now. It's a treat for you."
Entering the igloo, Su Xiaofan saw an old man with white beard and hair. He couldn't help but be startled. This was the first time he saw a cultivator look so old.
"This is Master Dong. You two should get to know each other. Master Dong, this is my junior brother..."
Fang Yijun introduced the two of them. He had already said outside that Mr. Dong was the Yang Shen cultivator of the Dong family.
"Your sword sect's inheritance is in order."
Mr. Dong glanced at Su Xiaofan and was slightly stunned. He couldn't see through Su Xiaofan's Dantian Flying Sword. There was a spiritual consciousness there that blocked his exploration.
However, Mr. Dong didn't take it seriously. Jian Zong's natal flying sword was blended with Qi and blood, so it was not allowed to be explored at will. If he wanted to forcefully check it, the old guy from Jian Zong would definitely come to trouble him.
Of course, although Su Xiaofan did not want to expose his cultivation, if someone really wanted to forcefully explore important places such as his consciousness sea or Dantian, Su Xiaofan was not afraid of falling out with him.
"This is Mr. Yang's descendant." Fang Yijun introduced Yang Xiu to Mr. Dong.
"Well, I haven't seen Senior Brother Yang for a long time. Is he okay?" Mr. Dong nodded and greeted Mr. Yang.
"Grandpa, thank you for your concern, Uncle Dong." Yang Xiu replied quickly.
"Speaking of which, I got this tea from your ancestor."
Mr. Dong smiled and poured a cup of tea for each of them. In fact, Su Xiaofan could smell it from the moment he came in. This was a cup of musk tea extracted from extraordinary musk.
It can be seen that the relationship between Dong Jia Yangshen and Yang Lao should be good, and Su Xiaofan and Yang Xiu are relatively relaxed.
"By the way, Mr. Dong, my junior brother came here to look for an elder in the family. I wonder if you have seen anyone who looks similar to him?"
After drinking a cup of tea, Fang Yijun helped Su Xiaofan find out the news. His cultivator was only slightly weaker than Mr. Dong in front of him, so he didn't feel any formality when talking.
"I have never seen it before. There is actually a reclusive late-stage Jindan major cultivator in this restricted area?"
Mr. Dong looked at Su Xiaofan's face carefully and shook his head. Although he was shocked by the elder Su Xiaofan's cultivation, he really didn't recognize him.
"You also know that I sit here in this city all year round and don't go out much. But you have so many friends from the Sword Sect, why don't I know them?"
"Why do I, the Sword Sect, definitely recognize me?"
Fang Yijun rolled his eyes when he heard this. He felt that this old guy was mocking their sword sect.
To be honest, Sword Master's popularity in the Glacier Restricted Area is actually not very good, because most Sword Masters have hot tempers and will fight if they disagree.
Except for those cultivators in the Yang Shen Realm who don't care about these disputes, the disciples below often have some fights, and the root causes are mostly among the Sword Sect disciples.
Therefore, disciples of the Sword Sect often use swords to make friends. Apart from being a bitch, they really don’t have many friends in the restricted area.
"I haven't seen it anyway."
Mr. Dong waved his hand, "There are many cultivators who are loners and don't like to interact with others. It's normal if you haven't seen them before. You can ask Xian Gu later."
"Okay, the Eight Immortals come in contact with a lot of people, maybe they have seen it."
Fang Yijun nodded, "Mr. Dong, let's take our leave first. We will go to the market later. I heard that there is a transaction of spiritual stones today."
"Go ahead, that thing is of no use to an old man like me." Mr. Dong smiled and nodded, and started playing with his tea set again.
"Mr. Dong is already two hundred and eighty-six years old this year, and there are only more than ten years left before his deadline."
After leaving the igloo, Fang Yijun's voice rang in the minds of Su Xiaofan and Yang Xiu.
"Mr. Dong actually lived to be almost 300 years old?"
Su Xiaofan and Yang Xiu were both surprised, and at the same time they understood why Mr. Dong's hair and beard were all white.
"Well, the limit in the early stage of Yang Shen is three hundred years old. Mr. Dong was seriously injured in his early years and has been unable to break through."
Fang Yijun told the two of them about the lifespan of a cultivator.
Usually, the lifespan limit of cultivators who have entered the foundation building stage is two hundred years, but usually they can only live to one hundred, eighty or ninety years old.
Just like the theoretical life span of ordinary people is one hundred and twelve years old, but people who can live to be a hundred years old are extremely rare. The same is true for practitioners. Not many people live to the end.
The life span of a cultivator in the early stage of Yang Shen is 300 years, in the middle stage of Yang Shen is 400 years, and in the late stage of Yang Shen, the life span is even up to 500 years.
"Dad can actually live to be five hundred years old?"
Such an idea came to Su Xiaofan's mind, but he seemed to be not bad at all. As long as he cultivated the Yang Shen technique again and pushed his cultivation to the late Yang Shen stage, there would be no problem at all.
"Actually, in the Age of Dharma Ending, cultivators are generally young, and there are only a few people of Mr. Dong's generation."
According to Fang Yijun, since the Ming Dynasty, cultivators seem to have been shackled by heaven and earth, and almost no one can enter the stage of Qi training anymore.
But I don’t know why, since the restricted area, human beings have continued on the path of cultivation.
Mr. Dong was extremely lucky. When his deadline was approaching, in order to avoid the war, he accidentally entered a restricted area, where he broke through the Qi training period, thus greatly increasing his life span.
The same thing happened the next time. When Mr. Dong was about to reach his two hundredth birthday, he broke through to the Yangshen realm and gained a hundred years of life in vain.
But in the following decades, Mr. Dong suffered a serious injury, and his cultivation has been stagnant in the early Yangshen stage.
This time, everyone is not very optimistic about Mr. Dong, who will be able to break through to the middle stage of Yangshen in the last ten years.
However, Mr. Dong's mentality is very good. Perhaps it is because he has lived for such a long time. He has always been neither sad nor happy nor fighting for anything, and he has been guarding the restricted area of Xiuzhefang City.
The place where Xiangu He lives is on the other side of the valley. After Fang Yijun announced at the door, he quickly let a few people in, but this time there was no tea reception.
Xiangu He looks to be in her thirties, and her appearance is not beautiful, but she has the unique temperament of a high-level cultivator that people will never forget after seeing her.
"Xiangu, please take good care of my little junior brother and junior brother Yang in the future."
Fang Yijun obviously had a lot of face in front of these Yang Shen cultivators. Although Xiangu He didn't bring out the tea, her attitude was still polite.
"Yijun, your breakthrough is not far away, so why don't you go into seclusion and still run around outside?"
Xiangu and Fang Yijun seemed to have some friendship, and they talked more casually.
"It's not just for the ice fire fruit, I want to increase the chances of a breakthrough."
Fang Yijun laughed bitterly when he heard this. Everyone else thought that his breakthrough was a sure thing, but only Fang Yijun himself knew that he was still a little short of the mark.
"No one has seen that thing except Mr. Dong. Do you really believe it?"
Xiangu He shook her head disapprovingly and said, "Why did you and that Taoist Crow get into conflict again yesterday? That person is not very big-minded. You should be careful when you go out."
"Am I afraid of that person named Song?"
A proud look appeared on Fang Yijun's face, "It's just the Yang Shen who used the holy inner elixir to break through. I don't know who is causing trouble for whom."
"Senior Brother Fang, you didn't say yesterday that the Saint-level inner elixir can also break through the Yangshen." Su Xiaofan suddenly sent a message to Fang Yijun.
"Don't I want you to choose this path?"
Fang Yijun also sent a message and replied: "If you use the inner elixir to break through to the Yangshen realm, you will be the weakest cultivator in the Yangshen realm, and you will not be able to improve your cultivation in the future..."
It was also a breakthrough with the help of external forces, but the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that Fang Yijun chose were completely different from the holy-level inner elixir.
Just like the ice fire fruit, it improves and strengthens the physical body and spiritual consciousness from the inside out, and only plays an auxiliary role when making breakthroughs.
But the Saint-level inner elixir is different. It completely relies on the powerful energy in the inner elixir to force a breakthrough, which will cause great damage to the body.
Comparing the two, Fang Yijun felt that he could despise Taoist Crow, and in terms of combat power, he was not afraid of him at all now.
"That's the only bad thing about your sword sect. There's no need to make too many enemies."
Xian Gu He shook her head, but she was only in the early stage of Yang Shen, and she couldn't put on the airs of a senior in front of Fang Yijun, so she couldn't say much.
"They only regard Jian Zong as their enemies. When did Jian Zong put those people in his eyes?"
Fang Yijun smiled and changed the topic, pointed at Su Xiaofan, and said: "Xiangu, I have one more thing to ask. My junior brother has relatives in the restricted area..."
After talking about Su Weixuan's appearance and cultivation level, even though she was an immortal girl and a Yang Shen realm cultivator, she was also shocked. Her reaction was similar to that of Mr. Dong.
"In the late stage of Jindan, this...isn't this the same as..."
Immortal Gu He didn't say the following words, and she didn't know which cultivator of the Eight Immortals had the same cultivation level.
"I've never seen this person."
Xiangu He looked at Su Xiaofan for a while and seemed to remember something, "But I really want to hear from my second brother that there is a great cultivator in the restricted area. His whereabouts are very mysterious and he never seems to be involved in the fights."
"Huh? Where is this person?" When Su Xiaofan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Because as far as Su Xiaofan knew, his father rarely fought with Chaofan or cultivators in order to protect his mother's hiding place from intrusion.
"Second brother didn't say anything."
Xian Gu He shook her head and said: "It seems to be the person I met on the east side of the entrance, but that person doesn't seem to like to communicate with others, and he has no contact with the second brother."
"Where to the east?" Su Xiaofan asked regardless of politeness.
"I really don't know about this, but my second brother likes to hunt Arctic fox Chaofan, and most of the Arctic fox Chaofan live more than two thousand miles to the east."
Fairy Aunt He was not angry, but provided some clues to Su Xiaofan.
"There are not many human cultivators in the east. That is the extraordinary territory of Arctic wolves and Arctic foxes."
Fang Yijun reminded Su Xiaofan that major cultivators in the late Jindan period were qualified to go there, but it would be a disaster if Su Xiaofan went there.
"If you see the ancestor of the Sword Sect, go to the east."
Su Xiaofan made a decision in his heart. With his cultivation and body skills, even if he was defeated by a saint-level extraordinary person, he would still be able to escape with full confidence.
But before that, Su Xiaofan had to find a way to place Yang Xiu first. Maybe it would be a good choice to find a glacier crevice and send him to dig.
After leaving Xiangu He, Fang Yijun did not take Su Xiaofan and Yang Xiu to visit Taoist Crow Song.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Yang Xiu heard a cold snort in his ear, but seeing that neither Su Xiaofan nor Fang Yijun cared about it, Yang Xiu didn't take it to heart.
After witnessing the scene of Su Xiaofan killing a saint-level extraordinary, Yang Xiu understood in his heart that when a cultivator in the early Yangshen stage met Su Xiaofan, the result would be no better than that Arctic Fox family.
I don’t know if it’s because of the spiritual stone trade today, but in the valley where no one could be seen yesterday, the number of cultivators is gradually increasing.
Of course, this number is only relative. Sixty or seventy people are still inconspicuous in this valley city.
