Time flies, and several years pass in the blink of an eye.
Fang Xi, who had just celebrated her seventieth birthday, walked out of an elixir shop with a slightly depressed expression.
His plan to collect elixirs and prescriptions to enhance his spiritual consciousness was declared bankrupt from the beginning.
"Even the powerful elixir shops in the inner city sell relatively common types of second-level elixirs and elixirs... elixirs that enhance spiritual consciousness are very rare and can only be found at auctions. As for elixirs, they are even more rare.
The unique skills of second-level alchemists cannot be sold for sale... I am still too naive."
Fortunately, Fang Xi doesn't feel too depressed. There are many unsatisfactory things in life, and you can't always strive for perfection in everything.
He has now purchased several second-level elixir prescriptions, which can be regarded as making his reputation as a second-level low-level alchemy master. Occasionally, in addition to the Qi Refining monks, there are also a few Foundation Establishment colleagues who ask for help in refining some elixirs.<
/p>
Overall, the income can barely cover the rent and there is still a slight surplus. It can be said that I can live in Baizexian City for a long time.
‘Besides... I’ve also found out the general information about the black market... maybe it’s time to go there.’
Fang Xi currently has a lot of Situ Jia's magic cultivation materials in her storage bag, which is difficult to sell directly in the market.
Other than that, it’s that inferior foundation-building pill.
Even if this kind of elixir is properly kept, its potency will only last for about twenty years at most, and it will be lost if it is not used.
Fang Xi is going to the black market to find an opportunity to take action.
"Huh?"
He returned to Peach Blossom Pavilion and found that the cave not far away had also been rented out.
"Uncle..."
In the courtyard, Wei Yixi was playing with the big herring. When he saw Fang Xi, he immediately stepped forward pitifully: "I want to go home. No one is taking care of my jade bees and spiritual field..."
In the past few years, Wei Yixi has been really tempered by Fang Xi's side.
Now, in addition to the art of controlling animals, I have also acquired a minor in veterinary medicine, and I can be considered a small craftsman.
However, after being away for a long time, she still felt a little homesick.
Even though Baize Fairy City has better spiritual energy and complete all kinds of needs, this is still the case.
"The situation is turbulent now, don't go back..."
Fang Xi scolded with a straight face: "The spiritual land is there, and it won't run away..."
In fact, he also knew in his heart that Jade Cliff was just a short stop in his life, but for Wei Yixi, it was the legacy left by his parents' hard work.
Born here, raised here, and called my hometown, how can I give it up?
Looking at Wei Yixi's sad expression, his tone couldn't help but turn soft: "You are in this city, and you can just improve your cultivation. Your spiritual roots are not bad, and you have hope of building a foundation... If you can build a foundation, that will be the real consolation."
The spirits of the two Taoist friends Hua and Wei are in heaven..."
After comforting her eldest niece, Fang Xi looked at the peach blossoms in the courtyard and was thinking about what happened in the cave next door. Ruan Dan came back with a hint of joy on his face: "Uncle Fang, the master is back...please come and talk to me
."
"Oh?"
Fang Xi's eyes lit up and she suddenly had some guesses.
The cave next to Peach Blossom Pavilion is called 'Bibo Cave'. It is lined with green trees and its aura is around the second-level mid-level, which is enough to meet the needs of monks in the middle stage of foundation building.
"Brother Fang!"
Ruan Xingling stood at the door of the cave and greeted him personally, with a smile on his face.
"Why didn't Xing Ling tell me when he came back?"
Fang Xi seemed to complain, but walked into the cave very naturally.
This left Ruan Danleng, who was about to lead the way, looking at Fang Xi with an extremely complicated expression. He seemed to be worried about whether he would change his name to Uncle Fang as 'Master' in the future?
……
Inside Bibo Cave.
Ruan Xingling invited Fang Xi into a quiet room, then closed the door with a wave of her hand, making Ruan Dan feel like an outsider.
"Get up!"
Fang Xi raised her hand and released a few formation flags, which sank into the surrounding walls. Suddenly, a gleaming light emerged, turning into a barrier.
"Okay, if we have a secret conversation here, nothing will be leaked."
He sat cross-legged with a solemn expression on his face: "Has Xingling... done anything in the past few years?"
The so-called action is naturally to report the presence of the Wandao Lake demon cultivator to Xuantian Sect.
Fang Xi had wanted to do this for a long time, but later left it to Ruan Xingling.
But several years have passed, and there seems to be no response.
Wandao Lake is still calm, which is precisely the biggest abnormality!
Ruan Xingling tucked her hair behind her ears and made a cup of spiritual tea for Fang Xi. Her expression was slightly bitter: "Of course I did... Xingling hid her identity and delivered messages to the guarding monks in several Xuantian Sect's markets.
…As a result, fellow Taoists also found out.”
"The Xuantian Sect actually stood still?"
Fang Xi's pupils shrank: "Could it be that the 'Ancestor Jiang' of the Xuantian Sect has passed away?"
The Dan Jie monk who is in charge of the Xuantian Sect is very old and is known as the living fossil of the Yue Kingdom's immortal world. Many monks dare not call him by his name, so they only use 'Ancestor Jiang' instead.
"Impossible!"
Just after finishing speaking, Fang Xi shook her head: "If the Jindan cultivator dies, Xuantian Sect will not be able to hide it no matter how hard it is. The news of the Yue Kingdom has already spread all over the sky, and it has even fallen into turmoil..."
"Xingling's view is the same as that of Brother Fang, so there is only one possibility..." Ruan Xingling's bitter smile became even worse.
"Tacit consent? The Xuantian Sect actually acquiesces to the demonic cultivators occupying Wandao Lake? Doesn't this sect leader not know that what the 'Tian Destroying Alliance' wants to destroy is the 'Heaven' of the Xuantian Sect?"
Fang Xi fell into deep thought.
Ruan Xingling was thoughtful: "When Xingling traveled, it coincided with the battle that destroyed the Situ family. In this battle, the biggest losses were from other foundation-building families... and the Situ family's subsequent revenge was due to the strength of the Xuantian Sect.
It was too strong, but it was mainly concentrated on direct murderers such as the Song family. The Tianfu Shen family was even exterminated because of it... If we extrapolate from the results, Xuantian Sect not only escaped unscathed before and after Situ's annihilation, but also greatly weakened the Yue Kingdom.
Forces such as the Foundation Building Family..."
"If it's a game, Xuantian Sect has a very deep plan!"
Fang Xi suddenly felt a little shuddering, as if she saw an invisible giant hand fiddling with the Yue Kingdom's chessboard.
At that time, the secret realm of Ziyou Mountain used profit to induce many aristocratic families to join forces to attack Hongye Valley and the Situ family.
Afterwards, the Situ family was allowed to take revenge and counterattack the major foundation-building forces...
Even now, the Situ family is tacitly allowed to recuperate in Wandao Lake... In the future, when the demonic cultivators make a comeback, the Song family might be the one to be hit the hardest!
This is probably also Xuantian Sect’s plan, allowing the Sky Destroying Alliance to recover a little bit of their strength and continue fighting to the death with the Song family!
"This is the repeated use of the Situ family as a knife... The key is that this knife has to act according to the enemy's wishes... Those remnants don't even understand this, what a pitiful thing!"
Fang Xi couldn't help but sigh.
Ruan Xingling's face was moved: "When Xingling was traveling, he once heard a saying - 'Foundation building is the cloud above the Yue Kingdom's world of immortality, and Xuantian Sect is the real heaven'! Now that I think about it, it's so true.
Say it!"
Although the clouds can cover you for a while, when the strong wind blows, there will be nothing left.
Only that piece of 'sky' still stands still!
Even if people spit in the sky or throw stones... they will only hit themselves on the head in the end!
"This matter... must not be known to a third party, Xing Ling伱..."
Fang Xi looked at Ruan Xingling.
"Brother Fang, could it be that you still can't trust Xing Ling?" Ruan Xing Ling pursed her lips and smiled: "Every time before taking action, Xing Ling concealed his identity... Afterwards, he fled thousands of miles away, and then took a detour back to the fairy city, preparing to stay for a while.
”
"That's good, but I have to trouble Xing Ling to make one last move... this time, let's choose the Song family's market."
Fang Xi thought about it and said thoughtfully.
The Xuantian Sect may not care about the demon cultivators of the Sky Destroying Alliance, but the Song family will definitely care.
If it were the Song family who went to Wandao Lake to fight the demon cultivator to the death, Fang Xi would also be happy to see the result.
Even...if their guess is true, this is called conforming to the general trend, and if there is divine help!
The Xuantian Sect would probably be happy to see the Song family expend their strength in this way, and might even add fuel to the fire.
"Song family?"
Ruan Xingling looked at Fang Xi with a slightly strange expression. She also specifically asked about the story of that year.
It can only be said that it was unwise for the Song family to provoke Fang Xi at that time...
But in her heart, she was also a little speechless, feeling that Fang Xi was hiding too deeply.
Even if you don't show too much outstanding performance, even if you are just as good as Naluo Gong, the choices Baize Xiancheng will make will be different.
"Well, if it is the Song family, then this can be done. Maybe Xingling can return to his hometown as soon as possible..."
However, Ruan Xingling didn't say anything, she just remembered it silently.
……
After a long time, Fang Xi walked out of the secret room and bumped into Ruan Dan who was moving here.
"Uncle Fang!"
Ruan Dan bowed and could hardly maintain his frosty face.
"Well... we will be neighbors in the future. If you need anything, you can come to me."
Fang Xi nodded briefly, turned and left.
His relationship with Ruan Xingling can only be regarded as more than friends, not lovers.
Fang Xi still appreciates Ruan Xingling's temperament.
As for mediocre facial features, they are really mediocre!
Fang Xi has never been too fond of fairies who can conquer a country and conquer a city. After all, beauty is also the source of trouble!
On the contrary, Xiaojiabiyu, with its outstanding temperament and delicate orchid heart, is the first choice.
As for Taoist companions or something?
Fang Xizhi is on the high road and has never considered such a thing.
Even because he has cultivated to the realm of the God of War, he has perfected his control over the essence, and currently has no plans to leave any heirs.
……
Peach Blossom Pavilion, indoor retreat.
Fang Xi ran the technique and found that the upper limit of the liquid mana of the 'Aoki Longevity Kung Fu' had reached twenty-nine drops.
"It's a little slower than I expected. As expected, it becomes more and more difficult as the practice progresses..."
This liquid mana can be recovered quickly after being consumed in fighting, but it is very difficult to slowly increase the upper limit. Fang Xi has nothing to say, she just relies on her own talent and spiritual veins to persevere every day!
After the technique was in full swing, he began to practice the "Qiansi Puppet Control Technique" again. After his spiritual consciousness became tired, he slowly recovered through breath adjustment.
After all this was completed, Fang Xi's spiritual consciousness communicated with the "Treasure Mirror of All Heavens" and came to the world of fragments.
