65 Senior Brother, I Want You to Help Me With My Cultivation

Mount Goddess' disciples could live in a courtyard of their own once they broke through the Foundation Establishment stage. Their courtyard was also supported by an array formation that could draw spiritual energy from all directions, which would be extremely helpful to their cultivation.

Fang Jinyu had the Messenger Talisman that Xin Qianqian had left behind. In addition to his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, he didn't even need to go through the process of reporting. Mount Goddess' disciples directly led him to the "Blossom Yard."

...

Cultivators' cultivation bases usually determined their status.

Fang Jinyu knocked on the door.

Fang Jinyu's actions immediately triggered the restrictive enchantment. Soon, he heard Xin Qianqian say, "Senior Brother Fang, please come in."

All of the "Blossom Yard's" restricting enchantments and array formations were immediately opened to Fang Jinyu.

Only then did Fang Jinyu walk in.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu thought, "It is indeed a girl's residence. Although the place isn't luxurious, the decorations suit the scenery. I feel relaxed and happy at first glance."

"Compared to Xin Qianqian's courtyard, my immortal estate is like a demon's immortal estate if it were covered with a few animal skins and piled with a few skulls."

With this thought in mind, Fang Jinyu recalled that there were skulls and furs of mutant beasts in the devil's realm that were suitable to be used as decorations.

Without the triggering of spiritual energy, it could form all kinds of strange phenomena as long as it was hung on the wall.

Just as Fang Jinyu was thinking about this, he noticed a jade scroll in his field of vision. He didn't go near it, but the jade scroll started to flip itself.

As the pages were flipped through, Fang Jinyu realized that it was a cultivation manual.

It was a unique cultivation technique.

Cultivators who cultivated the technique would reduce half of their bottlenecks when they were in the Qi Condensation stage. Their cultivation speed would be doubled without reducing their combat power. However, the price of cultivating the technique was that they needed to dual cultivate with a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator when they broke through the Foundation Establishment stage.

Otherwise, their cultivation progress would stagnate.

It was a high-tier technique, but it wasn't complete. The person who created the technique had only cultivated it and broken through the late-stage Foundation Establishment. She had only used her imagination to create the information about cultivating during the Core Formation stage.

At this moment, Fang Jinyu heard Xin Qianqian's soft and sweet voice saying, "My grandmother created this technique. She passed it on to my mother, and my mother passed it on to me."

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but say, "It's a powerful technique!" Fang Jinyu thought, "If it is complete, even if it can't become one of the top 100 techniques of the Nine Desolations, it will still be more powerful than the Tianling Sect's storm raging technique."

It was because the storm raging technique was restricted by the cultivator's spiritual root, but this technique wasn't restricted by the cultivator's spiritual root.

In theory, even cultivators with five-element spiritual roots could cultivate it!

Fang Jinyu thought, "Her grandmother is enough to be called shockingly talented since she created such a high-tier technique. Even if it is incomplete and has no follow-ups."

Xin Qianqian was dressed exquisitely in a light purple dress, looking like a fairy from a painting. However, she rolled her eyes at Fang Jinyu when she heard his words.

Xin Qianqian thought, "Do you think that's what I want to say?!"

However, Xin Qianqian was well aware of Fang Jinyu's personality. Hence, she approached him and hugged him after exchanging a glance with him.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu heard Xin Qianqian say softly, "Senior Brother, I want you to help me with my cultivation!"

…

Xin Qianqian wrapped her feet around Fang Jinyu's back, and he was sinking into her.

…

Afterward…

"Senior brother, here."

"Thank you, junior sister." After receiving a cup of tea from Xin Qianqian, Fang Jinyu looked at the beautiful woman with slightly red cheeks and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Fang Jinyu thought, "Xin Qianqian and I are like old friends, but now we are even closer than friends."

"However, we are still far from being married couples."

At this moment, Xin Qianqian was natural and poised. Other than a hint of shyness in her eyes, her expression was natural. She only looked at Fang Jinyu with a smile on her face.

However, the situation didn't last long. After a while, Xin Qianqian chased Fang Jinyu out by saying, "Senior brother, I'm going to start my closed-door cultivation."

Afterward, Xin Qianqian restored the array formations and restrictive enchantments in the Blossom Yard.

Xin Qianqian had really started her closed-door cultivation!

Fang Jinyu stood at the door for a while. For some reason, he felt like he was only a tool for dual cultivation.

However, Fang Jinyu didn't stay for long.

Fang Jinyu then left the Tianling Sect.

Since Fang Jinyu had already become a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he felt that it was time for him to find the purple-volt spiritual fire. As for the Monastic Immortal Alliance's spirit stones, Fang Jinyu felt that there must have been many changes after being delayed for two years, so it was better to delay them for the time being.

Fang Jinyu thought, "After all, I've delayed it for two years. It doesn't matter if I delay it for one more year."

The purple-volt spiritual fire wasn't in the desolate forbidden land but in a primeval forest in the mountains of the mortal world. As such, Fang Jinyu could only board the stargazing flying ship to the nearest place and fly there with his spirit tool. With his rich inner energy, he flew for half a month before he arrived at the place indicated on the animal skin paper.

"Wow! There is no spiritual energy at all! No wonder no one can detect such a spiritual fire, even though it is hidden in such a simple method." Fang Jinyu kept the animal skin paper while feeling the searing lightning power. Afterward, the superior-tier spiritual purple mystical alchemy furnace appeared out of thin air with a wave of his hand.

The underground lightning power seemed to sense that something was wrong and immediately began to shrink. However, it was too late. Fang Jinyu had already followed the steps on the animal skin paper and started to collect it.

Half a day later, Fang Jinyu was already on his way back.

Fang Jinyu had also obtained the purple-volt spiritual fire.

However, Fang Jinyu hadn't refined it yet. He just put it into his alchemy furnace.

Thankfully, Fang Jinyu had a superior-tier spiritual alchemy furnace. Otherwise, he had to clear out the other items in his "mystery realm" and transfer the spiritual fire into his portable storage space.

When flying, Fang Jinyu pondered, "The purple-volt spiritual fire seems to have suffered from the filth of the apocalypse, causing it to lose a lot of spirituality."

According to the book, the apocalypse could be said to be the strangest and most mysterious world.

It was the place where the dead would rest.

However, it was also the beginning of reincarnation.

It was because there were rumors that someone had personally seen someone reincarnated in the apocalypse.

Although there were living people in the apocalypse, they were totally different from those in the Nine Desolations. The commoners of the apocalypse, regardless of gender, only had one face.

However, if any commoner was lucky enough to be able to cultivate, then he would have a chance to change his appearance.

In the apocalypse, the more outstanding one's appearance was, the higher one's status was.

This strange feature caused the living people in the apocalypse to be called the apocalypse demons in the Nine Desolations' records!

Everything in the apocalypse was a terrible source of filth for the Nine Desolations' cultivators. Sprit tools, magic treasures, and inner energies would be contaminated once they were in touch with the apocalypse's items.

In trivial cases, they would lose their spirituality, and in serious cases, they would lose themselves and become apocalypse demons!

Therefore, the Nine Desolations' records often linked the apocalypse to nightmares and bad luck. If they were to rank the danger levels, then the City of Liches and the devil's realm would be on par, followed by the desolate forbidden land, then the continent that would crash the Nine Desolations five years later would be the third, and the most dangerous place would be the apocalypse!

66 You Act Differently When Things Are Over

When Fang Jinyu returned to the Tianling Sect, he was immediately invited by a Messenger Talisman to Mount Goddess' "Blossom Yard."

"Junior sister, are we now in a relationship?"

...

Fang Jinyu poured himself a cup of tea to soothe his throat.

"Of course!" Xin Qianqian's eyes were charming. She caressed her freshly washed hair, which hadn't dried yet. With a burst of fragrance, she was as lively as a fairy. She came to Fang Jinyu, reached out her small hand to gently touch his nose, and asked, "What else do you want?"

"I feel like we're too calm."

Fang Jinyu finally expressed his feelings.

The two of them didn't seem to be cultivation partners. Instead, they felt like a couple who had been married for many years and finally became brothers.

"Isn't it normal? You and I are both cultivators, and aren't we both hoping to become Core Formation stage cultivators? True love isn't just about being together all the time. We should endure the challenges of separation and maintain a deep and genuine love for each other." As Xin Qianqian spoke, she hugged Fang Jinyu. "Senior brother, I'm going to start my closed-door seclusion again. After all, I can't fall behind you too much. You're already a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

As soon as Xin Qianqian finished her words, she pushed Fang Jinyu and chased him out.

A moment later, Fang Jinyu saw the formations, and restrictive enchantments were restored, which left him stunned for a moment. He then sighed, "Sigh, you act differently when things are over."

Fang Jinyu thought, "You didn't act in this way before!"

Afterward, Fang Jinyu returned to his immortal estate on Mount Xiaohe.

Everything went smoothly this time. Fang Jinyu retrieved the purple-volt spiritual fire, which was ranked seventh on the Nine Desolations spiritual fire ranking. However, he was unable to refine such a high-ranking spiritual fire in such a short time.

It was because the spiritual fire indeed had a problem.

If Fang Jinyu were to rashly refine it, he might be contaminated and end up as an apocalypse demon.

Thankfully, the Tianling Sect had the remedy to revive the spiritual fire's piety and the technique to expel the influence of filth. Fang Jinyu had read about such information before.

After all, even if Fang Jinyu wasn't an alchemist, he would consider preparing a spiritual fire for himself when he broke through the late-stage Foundation Establishment.

It was because if one wanted to break through the Core Formation stage, one must temper a spiritual fire.

Therefore, a great sect like the Tianling Sect had a complete set of secret manuals and information related to refining spiritual fire. After all, apart from those who knew that their lifespans were coming to an end or those who couldn't break through, no one would give up on refining the spiritual fire.

Some of the disciples of the great families had already made preparations.

Qin Haoyue's superior-grade spirit tool that could release spiritual fire was one such example.

It was because a cultivator must refine a spirit tool before using it. After that, their inner energy would continuously come into contact with the spirit tool, which was equivalent to indirectly refining the spiritual fire. Thus, when Qin Haoyue broke through the late-stage Foundation Establishment, he only needed to extract the spiritual fire from his spirit tool and fuse it into his body.

He didn't even need to experience the pain and torture that normal cultivators have to when refining the spiritual fire!

After all, fusing spiritual fire into one's body was a torturing experience. Even if one was a body-tempering person would be in excruciating pain during the refining process.

Qin Haoyue's situation was a method that only the great families' descendants could use.

Fang Jinyu began to collect the spiritual items he needed.

Fang Jinyu could be said to be filthy rich while he had 2000000 spirit stones on him. Other than Core Formation stage cultivators, no other Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could beat him in terms of wealth.

However, most of the 2000000 spirit stones weren't spirit stones.

After all, Fang Jinyu's portable storage space couldn't store 2000000 spirit stones.

Fang Jinyu took out a few common and less sensitive spiritual items and offered them to the Tianling Sect. After exchanging them for enough merit points, he exchanged for all the spiritual items he needed.

After that, Fang Jinyu went to the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li" and rented an alchemy room.

Since Fang Jinyu's purple mystical alchemy furnace contained spiritual fire, he couldn't use it to refine elixirs.

"Senior Brother Fang, please be careful when refining the elixirs. Don't force yourself!" The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in charge of Mount Lingyao advised Fang Jinyu with a complex expression. This time, he had specially chosen a remote alchemy room for Fang Jinyu.

How remote was it?

Even if Fang Jinyu exploded his alchemy furnace again and even the nearby part of the peak collapsed, it wouldn't affect anyone on the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li."

Fang Jinyu promised, "Don't worry, Junior brother!" He thought, "I'm no longer a newbie, so how can I blow up my alchemy furnace?"

"Furthermore, the last time I exploded the alchemy furnace, it was not because of my mistake!"

"Instead, it's because I've awakened my authentic spirit bloodline, and the lightning power in the ancient authentic spirit Kui cattle bloodline was too terrifying."

"Senior Brother Fang, you said the same thing last time…" The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's expression became even more complicated. However, Fang Jinyu was no longer the same Fang Jinyu of the past and was now a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator! Therefore, he didn't dare to say much and left immediately after giving the instructions.

"He looks afraid that if he is a step slower, he will be affected by the explosion of the alchemy furnace."

Fang Jinyu grumbled to himself before entering the room to begin his alchemy.

Even though Fang Jinyu had never seen the elixirs he would refine, he finally understood how to refine them after careful consideration.

[Today is a day of hard work to study the prescription for the Fire Development Elixir. Unfortunately, it's a day of no harvest.]

[Refined the understanding of the Fire Development Elixir 1]

"It's true that heaven rewards those who work hard!" After obtaining gains from the system, Fang Jinyu suddenly comprehended the difficulties of refining the elixir and began his alchemy.

Soon, Fang Jinyu had successfully refined a furnace of Fire Development Elixir.

Fang Jinyu then continued with the second batch.

It was because the more elixirs the better!

The next day, Fang Jinyu began to study the second prescription. The Fire Development Elixir was used to restore the spirituality of spiritual fire, and the one he was studying was called the "Myriad Awakening Elixir," which was used to dispel the contamination of spiritual fire.

[Today is a day of painstakingly studying the prescription of the Myriad Awakening Elixir, but there are also no gains.]

[Refined the essence of refining the Myriad Awakening Elixir 1]

Fang Jinyu started to refine elixirs with pleasure after once more reaping benefits from the system.

Another furnace of elixirs was formed!

However, Fang Jinyu didn't have to refind more Myriad Awakening Elixirs. He had to consider a stronger elixir if the Myriad Awakening Elixir couldn't be used.

Stronger elixirs were within the scope of what a Core Formation stage cultivator could cultivate, which was beyond his current limits.

Fang Jinyu immediately started purging the filth from the spiritual fire and restoring its spirituality after refining the two necessary elixirs.

Two hours later, Fang Jinyu looked at his purple mystical alchemy furnace with a gloomy expression.

Fang Jinyu was certain that his superior-grade spiritual alchemy furnace didn't have any problems.

The problem was still the purple-volt spiritual fire in the furnace.

Fang Jinyu had restored its spirituality, but the filth within it had also grown stronger! The lightning power, which was supposed to be pure Yang energy, was now emitting a cold and strange aura from the spiritual fire.

It was a mix of the eerie lightning and the Yin lightning!

It also indicated that the purple-volt spiritual fire had been contaminated by the apocalyptic power.

Fang Jinyu finally understood why such a high-ranked spiritual fire would be carved on a piece of animal skin paper and accidentally leak out.

"I can only use Core Formation stage elixirs…"

Fang Jinyu sighed but didn't rush to find the prescription. He put away the purple mystical alchemy furnace and used the low-grade spiritual alchemy furnace in the alchemy room to refine other elixirs.

67 Is There an Incarnation Stage Cultivator?

Mount Goddess' Blossom Yard…

When Fang Jinyu was rewarded by heaven for his hard work, Xin Qianqian also ended her closed-door cultivation.

...

Compared to other Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, Xin Qianqian's closed-door cultivation was especially short.

Xin Qianqian couldn't help but lick her lips.

Xin Qianqian's pair of watery, almond-shaped eyes seemed to be faintly glowing at this moment.

It was because her cultivation had improved quite a bit.

Finally, a voice couldn't help but say, "Oh, my dear granddaughter! This is a proper dual cultivation method, alright? Not all male cultivators in the world are suitable to dual cultivate the essential element technique with you!"

Xin Qianqian couldn't help but blush when she heard it. She said shyly, "Grandmother, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

However, after Xin Qianqian finished speaking, she couldn't help but mumble, "It's all because Senior Brother Fang is too good."

Good?

Upon hearing such explicit words, the voice couldn't help but ridicule, "You and that female devil over there are only lacking one more thing."

Xin Qianqian didn't understand and asked, "Which female devil?"

"Who can it be? All their male cultivators cultivate the essential element technique! The reputation of our Goddess Sect was ruined by those elderly women back then by half! Fortunately, the Grandmasters were smart enough and left the Goddess Sect to establish their sect, named the Cihang Sect."

Xin Qianqian didn't understand the matter either. She only knew that her grandmother came from a sect called the Cihang Sect, and there were cultivators beyond the Nascent Soul stage in the sect!

Thus, Xin Qianqian consciously skipped the topic that would make her confused. She asked, "Grandmother, then what should I continue cultivating?"

"Do you know the ruthless cultivation method?"

Xin Qianqian nodded and said, "I know!"

The voice said reservedly, "The ruthless cultivation method has two ways, you should work hard on the method other than using the wisdom sword."

However, Xin Qianqian couldn't help but blush when she heard it.

It was because Xin Qianqian knew the way her grandmother mentioned cultivating the ruthless cultivation method. Hence, she coupled her technique with her thought, "No wonder grandmother will say I can dual cultivate the essential element technique with all the male cultivators in the world."

Xin Qianqian couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "Grandmother, what's the stage above the Nascent Soul stage?"

Although Xin Qianqian's grandmother had mentioned it before, she didn't go into detail.

"Qi Condensation stage, Foundation Establishment stage, Core Formation stage, Nascent Soul stage… Then it will be the Immortal Ascension stage! An old weirdo in the Incarnation stage can create tens of millions of clones, and as long as one of them is still alive, they can transform the clone into a donor and recover completely. Not only will they be harder to kill, but their lifespan can also reach up to ten thousand years!"

Xin Qianqian couldn't help but be stunned and subconsciously asked, "Are there any stages beyond the Incarnation stage?"

"Yes, there is. It's the Immortal Ascension stage. I know you're curious, so I'll tell you everything. In the Immortal Ascension stage, cultivators could no longer be called cultivators but immortals! In addition to having a terrifyingly long lifespan, they would also be recognized by both heaven and earth. If his disciples called his name, they could even invite his projection to descend! The most terrifying thing is that even if an Immortal Ascension stage cultivator dies in an accident, as long as someone cultivates great divine powers, techniques, or prescriptions that they have created, they can be resurrected and returned to the mortal world!"

The voice explained the situation in extremely fine detail.

However, even though being an Immortal Ascension stage cultivator was astonishing, Xin Qianqian only felt a moment of a surprise since she was just a newbie Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

Xin Qianqian asked curiously, "Grandmother, have you broken through the Incarnation stage?"

"If you don't know how to talk, then shut up." The voice sounded a little angry.

"Then it seems like you haven't." Realization dawned on Xin Qianqian.

The voice stopped talking.

Xin Qianqian continued to ask, "Grandmother, are there any Incarnation stage cultivators in the Nine Desolations?"

"There are!"

Xin Qianqian was shocked and asked, "Then why have I never heard of it before?" She thought, "Although Incarnation stage cultivators are rare, she may know about them!"

After all, it was just a cultivation stage.

It wasn't a secret!

The voice said faintly, "It's because of the three Incarnation stage cultivators, one betrayed the Nine Desolations, one's whereabouts are unknown, and one was killed."

"Grandmother, how did you know?" Xin Qianqian couldn't help but feel curious.

Wasn't it too clear?!

"I'll tell you when you're a Core Formation stage cultivator. However, I can tell you first that the Incarnation stage cultivator who betrayed the Nine Desolations sent another wisp of his soul to the Nine Desolations. However, I don't know where it is. Also, your Senior Brother is here to see you." The voice disappeared after it finished speaking.

When Xin Qianqian heard it, she didn't have the mood to continue asking. Her beautiful eyes glowed as if she had heard someone delivering food to her door…

…

"Junior sister, here is some Mini Entry-Level Elixir. It can help you quickly break through rank 2 in the Foundation Establishment stage."

"This is a bottle of Spirit Summoning Elixir. It can help you quickly break through rank 3 in the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Here are some Core Spirit Elixirs and a low-grade Breakthrough Elixir. They can help you break through the middle-stage Foundation Establishment."

Fang Jinyu took out the elixirs he refined.

Fang Jinyu refined the Breakthrough Elixir with the method he had learned from Lu Yunting. The elixir contained two grades, which were high-grade and low-grade. The middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator should consume the low-grade Breakthrough Elixir, while the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator should consume the high-grade Breakthrough Elixir.

Of course, each batch would have more than one elixir. However, it could only be used once in a cultivator's lifetime.

Therefore, even if there were ten elixirs, cultivators could only eat one.

Xin Qianqian said happily, "Senior brother, did you make all these?"

"Yes."

Fang Jinyu nodded. Although he and Xin Qianqian's interaction was strange, refining these elixirs was effortless for him, and he didn't need to spend many spirit stones either. He only spent tens of thousands of spirit stones.

The rich Fang Jinyu no longer cared about spending tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Of course, Fang Jinyu wouldn't reveal that all the valuable things he had were in his mystery realm.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Xin Qianqian hugged Fang Jinyu happily and snuggled into his arms before starting to take off his clothes.

Fang Jinyu hurriedly said, "Junior sister, I just saw Peak Leader Xu. I can't stay on Mount Goddess for long." He met the peak leader of Mount Goddess on his way here.

The peak leader of Mount Goddess' family was named Xu, and she was a late-stage Core Formation stage cultivator.

Peak Leader Xu disliked male cultivators because she had experienced being hurt by love when she was younger. Those with average looks were alright, but she would stop and reprimand those who were handsome if they were slow to escape.

However, Xin Qianqian consoled Fang Jinyu after she heard his words, "Senior Brother, don't worry. Peak Leader Xu won't find out that you've been here for too long since you're fast."

Fang Jinyu was speechless.

Fang Jinyu thought, "Junior sister, if you don't know how to comfort me, then don't do it."

Afterward, Fang Jinyu reached out and removed the little hand that was playing around with him. After tidying his clothes, he said, "Junior sister, I still have something to do. I heard that there's an auction for the Beauty Preservation Herb."

Xin Qianqian's eyes lit up the moment she heard Fang Jinyu mention the Beauty Preservation Herb.

After all, the Beauty Preservation Herb could be refined into Beauty Preservation Elixirs. Even if one was clueless about refining elixirs, one could maintain their beauty by consuming them. No female cultivator could resist the temptation of such a magical spirit herb.

68 How Did You Like Him?

"Why did my fortune-telling technique react stronger and stronger each time since she broke through the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Walking out of the Blossom Yard, Fang Jinyu couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

...

If Fang Jinyu wanted to describe the situation with numbers, when he first met Qing Fu, his fortune-telling technique reaction would be set at 5. When Xin Qianqian broke through the Foundation Establishment stage and coaxed him to the Blossom Yard to lust after his body, his fortune-telling technique reaction would be 2.

However, when Fang Jinyu returned to the sect and was coaxed by Xin Qianqian again, his fortune-telling technique reaction reached 3!

This time, it reached 4!

"However, she has nothing on her, so what makes my fortune-telling technique react?" It was what Fang Jinyu was most puzzled about.

After all, they had shown their naked bodies to each other.

Fang Jinyu said, "Forget it. I'm more at ease now that she has her opportunity." He had no intention of exploring Xin Qianqian's opportunity.

After all, everyone had their little secrets, right?

Even mortal married couples wouldn't tell each other every detail, let alone the two of them who rashly started their relationship.

Fang Jinyu knew that Xin Qianqian liked him.

After all, if Xin Qianqian didn't like Fang Jinyu, the book wouldn't have mentioned her being single for more than ten years before helplessly getting married for the sake of "Fang Jinyu," who had died many years ago.

The book also mentioned that Xin Qianqian married the other party only because the betrothal gift was a Foundation Establishment Elixir.

Even though Xin Qianqian had initially married for the Foundation Establishment Elixir, after the wedding, she sincerely treated the other party as her husband. However, it was a pity that she had made the wrong choice and died tragically.

On the other hand, Fang Jinyu did like Xin Qianqian. After all, it was easy for a woman to pursue a man. Fang Jinyu had only been afraid to reveal his true feelings because of the lovestruck trauma.

However, Fang Jinyu didn't expect Xin Qianqian to take the initiative.

Furthermore, after the two of them started their relationship, they showed no signs of being lovestruck. The situation made Fang Jinyu feel relieved, and at the same time, he gradually fell in love with such a way of getting along.

Of course, it would be even better if Xin Qianqian could act in the same way all the time.

When they were dual cultivating, Xin Qianqian would say, "Senior Brother, I miss you so much…"

However, when things were done, Xin Qianqian would say, "As a cultivator, how can our love affairs influence us? Senior Brother, hurry up and leave!"

"Senior brother, remember to come back early…"

"If you can't come back in a while, remember to send me the Beauty Preservation Herb…"

Hearing the voice behind him, Fang Jinyu knew Xin Qianqian couldn't resist the Beauty Preservation Herb, but he had expected the situation. After all, even he was a little tempted by the Beauty Preservation Herb.

Who would hope to become an ugly old man if they could stay young?

Although the Core Formation stage cultivator could have a cultivation base-proof body that prevented them from aging, the appearance of a Core Formation stage cultivator was determined at the moment they broke through the Core Formation stage.

Of course, it was under the premise that they didn't lose their lifespan.

However, how many people could break through the barrier of heaven and earth and become great Core Formation stage cultivators when they were young?

Therefore, most cultivators would use the Beauty Preservation Herb to prevent themselves from aging.

Moreover, it wasn't hard to buy the Beauty Preservation Herbs.

It was just expensive.

A stalk of Beauty Preservation Herb was sold at the same price as the ticket of a superior-tier stargazing flying ship. Most rogue cultivators could only look up to it, and only the noble cultivation families could afford it.

Even though the herb was just an excuse, Fang Jinyu was prepared to buy two.

It was because he had the prescription for the Beauty Preservation Elixir.

Moreover, a Beauty Preservation Elixir was sold at a price when the price of a Foundation Establishment Elixir hadn't skyrocketed.

Fang Jinyu immediately rushed to the stargazing flying ship station near Mount Lingjian by flying his spirit tool.

Fang Jinyu was ready to visit the Monastic Immortal City.

Fang Jinyu could only obtain the Core Formation stage prescription that could cleanse the filth in the spiritual fire from Lu Yunting. After all, getting such a prescription from the sect was very inconvenient for him. Moreover, people would also discover that he had a superior-grade spiritual fire!

Two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators would fight for an ordinary spiritual fire, not to mention the purple-volt spiritual fire was on the spiritual fire ranking.

Even Core Formation stage cultivators who would soon break through the Nascent Soul stage would seek out Fang Jinyu if word got out that he possessed the purple-volt spiritual fire, not to mention those who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

It was because the purple-volt spiritual fire was a kind of top-notch spiritual item that could be used to upgrade the Core Formation stage cultivator's level!

The upper limit of the Core Formation stage cultivator is usually determined at the moment they form their core. It was difficult for cultivators with a core below grade 3 to break through rank 3 in the Core Formation stage unless they could increase their core grade!

For example, Chen Donglai of the Liudao Sect and Ling Xiaojiu of the Tianling Sect both had a grade 1 core, which helped them cultivate all the way to rank 9 in the Core Formation stage.

It was also the reason why Fang Jinyu didn't take any action even when he found out the exact location of the purple-volt spiritual fire.

Other than the fact that Fang Jinyu needed to increase his cultivation base, he was also afraid that the news would be leaked.

If not for the fact that Fang Jinyu had obtained the "mystery realm" from Qing Fu, Fang Jinyu would have waited until he broke through rank 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage before he went to search for the spiritual fire!

On the other side, as soon as Fang Jinyu left, the voice beside Xin Qianqian impatiently said, "Can you restrain yourself a little?"

As soon as Fang Jinyu left, Xin Qianqian stretched lazily, propped up one leg, and leaned back in her chair.

When Xin Qianqian heard it, she immediately complained, "Grandmother, I'm already very restrained. You don't know how hard it is for me to pretend to be an elegant lady in front of Senior Brother Fang!"

"Then why don't you continue to act like an elegant lady?"

Xin Qianqian said smugly, "Because I've already succeeded!" If she had known it would happen, she would have taken the initiative. She would have asked "Fang Jinyu" to dual cultivate with her a few years ago.

The voice snorted coldly, "Aren't you afraid your actions will scare off your Senior Brother Fang?" She didn't like Xin Qianqian acting in such a way. She thought, "This girl is cultivating Cihang Sect's technique, but why do I feel like she is Goddess Sect's disciple?"

"Her attitude is that either all male cultivators in the world are suitable to cultivate the essential element technique with her, or male cultivators must start a relationship with her since she likes him."

"This is preposterous!"

"All of our Cihang Sect's disciples look like pure fairies, alright?"

"But she is my granddaughter! If it wasn't for this granddaughter breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage before my remnant soul was about to dissipate and thus extending my life, I would have been helplessly killed long ago."

"Hence, I can't say anything harsh…"

Xin Qianqian pursed her lips and said, "Senior Brother Fang is a kind and honest man, alright? Not to mention that I'm beautiful. Even girls who are slightly pretty won't be interested in such a kind and honest person like him!" It was the reason why she dared to reveal her true self and stop pretending to be an elegant lady after dual cultivating with Fang Jinyu.

As a woman, Xin Qianqian naturally knew what other women were thinking.

The number of female cultivators in the cultivation world has always been far less than the number of male cultivators. Thus, even the female cultivators who were slightly more beautiful would have one or two male cultivators bootlick them.

It made most of the female cultivators arrogant.

Many female cultivators even looked down on male cultivators.

"Then how did you like him?"

"Senior Brother Fang is a kind person! Of course, that's not important. What's important is that he has a good figure!"

The voice was speechless.

69 I'm Han Feiyu, Give Me My Spirit Stones!

A mysterious ship-like thing was moving across the void in the center of the white and purple clouds.

Suddenly, a few black dots appeared in front of the object.

...

They were the migratory birds on their way back.

Then, a magical scene appeared. The strange ship-like object instantly turned invisible, and when it reappeared, it was already behind the flock of migratory birds.

As for the migratory birds, they had not noticed anything from the beginning to the end.

It was the stargazing flying ship.

The stargazing flying ship continued its journey. After half a day, it slowly descended.

Below the ship was a city that was far larger than the mortal world's county.

From time to time, someone would step on a spirit tool and slowly fly over the city.

At the city gate, a plaque was hung high with three large words on it—Monastic Immortal City.

As soon as Fang Jinyu came out of the stargazing flying ship, he left the Monastic Immortal City.

After a while, Fang Jinyu returned to the city.

However, Fang Jinyu had already changed his appearance and clothes. He exuded the aura of a Core Formation stage cultivator.

Naturally, it was because Fang Jinyu had taken the weakened version of the Six Alloy Elixir.

"Greetings, Master!"

Soon, someone came up to Fang Jinyu.

Fang Jinyu took a look but didn't recognize who it was. However, he had a slight impression of the man's face. He was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator from the Monastic Immortal Alliance.

Fang Jinyu said, "Uh-huh." Afterward, he saw the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's excited expression and couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything happened recently?"

The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator immediately said, "Master, everything is fine in the immortal city. Although you didn't take any action that day, Senior Li of the Jiuhu Sect praised your preaching. Therefore, no one dares to come to Monastic Immortal City to cause trouble."

Fang Jinyu thought for a moment after he heard the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's words. Although he had no impression of the "Senior Li" he mentioned, he did know of the Jiuhu Sect. Although the Jiuhu Sect was not part of the six great sects, its power was only slightly inferior to the six great sects since it had an early-stage Nascent Soul Grandmaster.

Therefore, the Jiuhu Sect was in charge of the mediation work in the immortal cities nearby.

After all, conflicts were inevitable between different immortal cities.

Therefore, if nothing unexpected happened, "Senior Li" was sent by the Jiuhu Sect to manage mediation work in the area around Monastic Immortal City.

Fang Jinyu asked directly, "Then why are you so excited?"

The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator said with an excited tone, "It's because I've benefited a lot from your preaching three years ago. I've successfully broken through rank 3 in the Foundation Establishment stage from rank 1!"

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but look at the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator again. He didn't expect him to be so perceptive.

Although Fang Jinyu had deliberately explained the cultivation method in detail that day, how much the audiences could understand and learn depended on themselves.

It was the same as listening to mathematics lectures in schools.

"Then you're quite smart. Keep it up." Fang Jinyu encouraged the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator with the attitude of a senior and then had him call Lu Yunting over.

The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator immediately responded and was about to go do his work. However, he stopped after walking two steps and showed a hesitating expression.

Fang Jinyu asked, "What's wrong?"

"Master, Vice Master Lu's son went missing three years ago… Therefore, he…" The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator lowered his pitch as he spoke.

However, Fang Jinyu understood his words. The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator wanted to say that since Lu Yunting's son had mysteriously disappeared and he couldn't find the culprit, he had been moody for the past three years. Lu Yunting even suspected that "Han Feiyu" killed his son.

After all, "Han Feiyu" coincidentally appeared in the Monastic Immortal City.

However, Fang Jinyu wasn't worried about the matter. Three years ago, he might have been a little worried. Now, not only had he broken through rank 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage, but he had also greatly improved his great divine powers. Even if Lu Yunting had a spiritual fire, Fang Jinyu was confident that he could kill him within 10 minutes!

Fang Jinyu slightly shook his head and sighed, "Fellow Daoist Lu's encounter is indeed…" He looked as natural as if he wasn't the person who had killed Lu Shaojun. He even said as if he was concerning Lu Yunting, "However, Fellow Daoist Lu's son has only gone missing. Maybe he isn't harmed by anyone but trapped in some secret realm."

The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator didn't dare to reply and hurriedly said, "Master, I'll go and find the Vice Master now."

Fang Jinyu nodded.

Then, as Fang Jinyu looked at the back of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, he gradually showed an inquisitive expression.

Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu thought, "If I'm not mistaken, this Foundation Establishment stage cultivator should be incited by Lu Yunting to test him."

As for why the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator dared to take this risk?

It was nothing more than money.

Lu Yunting must have given the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator enough benefits to make him take the risk. Obviously, he relied on the benefits given by Lu Yunting to break through rank 3 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Otherwise, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator would only know how to cultivate by listening to Fang Jinyu's preaching.

If one wanted to quickly increase their inner energy, they still had to rely on elixirs!

Soon, Fang Jinyu saw Lu Yunting, he didn't mention a word about his son's disappearance. Instead, he enthusiastically took out 2000000 spirit stones and said, "Daoist brother, this is last year's profit sharing. As for the profit sharing from the previous two years, since the amount is too big, we are still sorting it out."

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but smile when he saw how cooperative Lu Yunting was.

After all, it was 6000000 spirit stones!

Fang Jinyu wasn't going to beat around the bush. He went straight to the point, "Fellow Daoist Lu is very thoughtful. Speaking of which, I have another matter on which I would like to make a deal with you."

"Daoist brother, please go ahead!"

Fang Jinyu said, "I need a few Core Formation stage prescriptions that can dispel the filth of spiritual fire."

Lu Yunting didn't refuse Fang Jinyu's request, but he said, "Daoist brother, to be honest, I only got one prescription from the Tianling Sect. However, I believe it can satisfy your needs."

Fang Jinyu immediately knew which prescription he was mentioning.

It was the prescription for the "Great Virtue Elixir." Due to his lack of authority, Fang Jinyu had only seen a few lines of its description. It was said that it was the best Core Formation stage elixir for removing impurities! Whether it was the devil's energy from the devil's realm, the Lich's energy from the City of Liches, or even the filth from the apocalypse, they could all be dispelled with it!

Thus, Fang Jinyu said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Lu, just give a price."

Lu Yunting asked, "Daoist brother, can you give me some Foundation Establishment Elixirs?"

"Foundation Establishment Elixirs?" Fang Jinyu was stunned to hear his words. He thought, "How could a Holy Alchemist lack Foundation Establishment Elixirs?"

Although everyone thought it was precious and rare, a monopoly caused its price to skyrocket.

"Daoist brother, I believe you also know that something happened to the Foundation Establishment Fruit, right? Originally, the situation wouldn't affect me much, but two years ago, something happened that caused a large number of Foundation Establishment Fruit trees to die. It directly stopped the Foundation Establishment Fruits from being sold to the outside world…"

At this point, Lu Yunting changed the topic of their conversation. He said, "I have a daughter who is lucky to possess spiritual roots. However, she only has four-element spiritual roots. It's not easy for her to break through the Foundation Establishment stage, so she needs more than ten Foundation Establishment Elixirs."

Although Lu Yunting was a Holy Alchemist, the Lu family wasn't a noble cultivation family but just a minor cultivation family.

Lu Yunting's family would have long since fallen apart if he hadn't demonstrated his alchemy talent a few decades ago and won the inheritance of a Holy Alchemist.

Therefore, Lu Yunting had no way of obtaining Foundation Establishment Elixirs in this situation.

It was because major sects and aristocratic cultivation families didn't have enough for their own use.

When Fang Jinyu heard it, he couldn't help but be taken aback. He thought, "It isn't mentioned in the book."

70 The Sermon

The book only mentioned the sharp decline in the Foundation Establishment Fruits and the skyrocketing price of the Foundation Establishment Elixirs due to a change in spiritual energy. The book also explained that would soon be resolved, and the price of the Foundation Establishment Elixir would return to its "normal" price.

30000 spirit stones!

...

Although the Foundation Establishment Elixir was still sold at an expensive price that Qi Condensation stage cultivators couldn't afford, it wasn't a price that everyone couldn't afford.

However, it was clear that the current situation didn't match the book's plot.

The problem wasn't resolved and even the Foundation Establishment Fruits were restricted from being sold.

Fang Jinyu could imagine that in the next ten years, there would not be a single rogue cultivator in the Nine Desolations who could break through the Foundation Establishment stage. It was because even a Holy Alchemist like Lu Yunting could not get his hands on a Foundation Establishment Fruit to refine elixirs!

Unless Lu Yunting could be like Fang Jinyu's "sworn brothers" and come across an old Foundation Establishment Fruit tree by chance.

However, the situation seemed a little ridiculous…

However, Fang Jinyu had no reason to reject such a deal.

It was because Fang Jinyu had previously preserved some Foundation Establishment Fruits. Although they had lost a great deal of their spirituality, he could still refine them into Foundation Establishment Elixirs with his unique alchemy skills.

Fang Jinyu could refine 13 Foundation Establishment Elixirs with one Foundation Establishment Fruit.

Since Lu Yunting wanted 20 Foundation Establishment Elixirs, Fang Jinyu had no choice but to refine another batch of elixirs.

Fang Jinyu still refined 13 elixirs per batch.

After all, Fang Jinyu had already reached the pinnacle of refining the Foundation Establishment Elixir. Even if the spirit herbs lacked spirituality, he could still refine them as long as they were the required spirit herbs and matched the medicinal properties.

However, Fang Jinyu didn't give Lu Yunting extra elixirs. He only gave him the amount he wanted.

When Fang Jinyu received the prescription, he met Lu Yunting's daughter. At that moment, he knew Lu Yunting's efforts were going to be in vain.

It was because Lu Yunting's daughter had no potential in breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage.

Lu Yunting's daughter heavily relied on elixirs to increase her inner energy and was unable to control her rank 9 Qi Condensation stage inner energy as she wished. She had even made numerous mistakes while circulating her inner energy.

Fang Jinyu had found many problems with just a glance.

Elixirs were omnipotent, but the Foundation Establishment Elixirs were not. Although they could help cultivators to break through the bottlenecks in the Qi Condensation stage, the premise was that the cultivator must not have countless problems in their cultivation base.

After all, it was impossible to build a castle in the air.

However, Fang Jinyu didn't mention a word about it.

"Daoist brother, this is the catalog. The items written on it are the spiritual items that you exchanged for your spirit stones. Take a look and see if anything needs to be added or reduced."

6000000 spirit stones were undoubtedly a huge number. Even if Fang Jinyu wanted to put it in his Hundred-Treasure Box, he would need at least 100 boxes.

Moreover, Core Formation stage cultivators didn't need spirit stones.

To prevent complications, Fang Jinyu had asked the Monastic Immortal Alliance to exchange it for spiritual items of equivalent value, and he did the same thing this time.

Fang Jinyu looked through the catalog, and when he saw a few strike stones in the catalog, he couldn't help but look surprised.

Fang Jinyu didn't expect to see lightning-attribute spiritual items!

Other than that, the spirit herbs required for the prescription that Fang Jinyu had obtained from Lu Yunting were also listed in the catalog. In fact, the core spirit herbs of the prescriptions were only two or three types of spirit herbs.

Lu Yunting said, "Daoist brother, a few families from the alliance prepared it."

Fang Jinyu asked, "What do they want?" Not to mention the value of lightning-attribute spiritual items, just the few stalk of 500 years old core spirit herbs alone weren't things that could be bought with spirit stones

It was because people would usually keep such valuable things for their use. Even if they didn't need it, they would keep it for their family and would never give it to others.

Since these items appeared in the catalog, it was obvious that several families from the Monastic Immortal Alliance needed his help.

Lu Yunting hurriedly said, "Daoist brother, they wish to invite you to preach again." He had also encountered a bottleneck. He had tried a few types of elixirs but failed. Otherwise, he wouldn't have remained ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Lu Yunting naturally didn't lack elixirs that could boost his inner energy since he was a Holy Alchemist.

"Since that's the case, I'll talk about how to cultivate in the middle-stage Foundation Establishment!" Fang Jinyu said casually as if he wasn't very interested in the contents of the catalog.

Lu Yunting couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It was because he was interested in the contents of methods to cultivate in the late-stage Foundation Establishment. However, he knew that it would be difficult to use a few spiritual items to move a Core Formation stage. The reason he was willing to explain the cultivation methods in the middle-stage Foundation Establishment was his identity as the "Master" and that the spiritual items were not bad.

However, Lu Yunting immediately smiled again.

Lu Yunting thought, "Even though the Core Formation stage cultivator is only going to share about methods to cultivate in the middle-stage Foundation Establishment, I can still benefit from his preaching since I'm someone who relied on elixirs to break through till rank 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage."

"If I can use his methods to understand my bottleneck, then it would be a huge profit!"

Various forces in the Monastic Immortal City once again supported Fang Jinyu's preaching. However, there were fewer audiences compared to his previous sermon. It was because only Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could attend this time's preaching!

Moreover, they were all Foundation Establishment stage cultivators from the Monastic Immortal Alliance!

When the great Core Formation stage cultivator, "Han Feiyu," began to preach, even the cultivators who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage sat upright.

After the preaching ended, most of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators greatly benefited.

Only a few cultivators who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage looked depressed.

After all, Fang Jinyu had only managed to break through the late-stage Foundation Establishment after sorting out his middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation and understanding everything. His cultivation method couldn't be compared to those who had relied on elixirs and opportunities to break through. However, Fang Jinyu had only explained the methods to cultivate in the middle-stage Foundation Establishment.

Those who ranked 7 or 8 in the Foundation Establishment stage might have a small gain. However, it was a different story for those who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Cultivators who lacked understanding couldn't break through rank 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage, which was also called the "state of completion."

Therefore, the few cultivators who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage listened in vain.

Speaking of which, Fang Jinyu's cultivation experience when he advanced from the Qi Condensation stage to the Foundation Establishment stage without the aid of the Foundation Establishment Elixir was the only thing that could enlighten the cultivators who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, as his cultivation base improved, Fang Jinyu began to understand the value of his experience.

Naturally, Fang Jinyu wouldn't casually talk about it.

Back then, his conversation at Mount Goddess could be considered to have made Xin Qianqian's aunt learn something for free.

Fang Jinyu was already on his way back.

Fang Jinyu did the same thing again. First, he left the city, then returned to the Monastic Immortal City in disguise. He disguised himself as an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and boarded the stargazing flying ship back to the Tianling Sect.

On his way back, only a low-grade stargazing flying ship was available by that day, so Fang Jinyu spent a few more days before he returned to the Tianling Sect.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu immediately went to the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li" and rented another alchemy room.

It was the same remote place as last time.

However, it was just what Fang Jinyu wanted.

It was because once Fang Jinyu successfully refined the Core Formation stage elixir, there would be some strange phenomena. People could still see it when they were close by, even though it wasn't a particularly remarkable occurrence.

Fang Jinyu didn't want to reveal his strength as a Holy Alchemist too early.

It wasn't that Fang Jinyu wanted to hide his true strength, but that Fang Jinyu had other plans. He intended to draw attention to the situation by pointing out the lack of the Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

What Fang Jinyu was after was still luck.

Although Fang Jinyu's luck seemed strong, it was risky. It was also the reason why Fang Jinyu had kept the opportunity he had "stolen" from Su Yier.

71 The Feeding Technique

The sword that had been "slapped" out of Ximen Jianyi's body by Qing Fu had given Fang Jinyu an unimaginably strong fate. However, Fang Jinyu couldn't use it.

Fang Jinyu spent his own luck to obtain information about the purple-volt spiritual fire from the animal skin paper while using the fortune-telling technique.

...

It was the luck that Fang Jinyu had and the luck he obtained from the two magic treasures.

Although Fang Jinyu had used the stone orb magic treasure as a tool to open up his "mystery realm," it didn't disappear because of it. The luck that it had brought was still with Fang Jinyu.

It was also because the luck brought by the magic treasures had its characteristics that Fang Jinyu sharply realized that although the luck brought by the sword seemed to be with him, it was always separated from him. It was as if he was only a temporary carrier.

However, Fang Jinyu had no way of solving the problem.

After all, only Nascent Soul stage cultivators could solve problems related to luck.

However, there were also exceptions.

Although Fang Jinyu couldn't do anything to obtain the sword's luck, he could strengthen his luck!

Moreover, among the methods, refining magic treasure was the simplest way to increase one's luck. However, it couldn't bring the most luck.

The method that could bring the most luck was obtaining the recognition of heaven and earth, which was to contribute to the world.

Right now, the matter of the Foundation Establishment Elixir was enough to stop the cultivation world from developing for the next 30 years. If nobody could solve the problem of lack of Foundation Establishment Elixirs within 30 years, the subsequent impact would cause the entire cultivation world to be in chaos.

Therefore, if Fang Jinyu was able to create an elixir that was easier to refine and could replace the Foundation Establishment Elixir, and spread it, it would definitely be a great contribution to the cultivation world.

In a world where immortal cultivation was possible, didn't the immortal cultivation world represent this world?

"If everything goes as I've imagined… When I succeeded, even if I don't have magic treasures to support my luck, I can still possess one-tenth of Su Yier's luck!"

Fang Jinyu didn't stop his work even as he pondered.

Fang Jinyu had already fully understood the prescription that he had obtained from Lu Yunting on his way back. The prescription was indeed for the elixir he expected—the Great Virtue Elixir.

Although it was Fang Jinyu's first time refining Core Formation stage elixirs, he only wasted one batch before he succeeded.

Fang Jinyu circulated his inner energy to suppress the abnormal phenomena caused by the elixir. He then took out the purple mystical alchemy furnace. Meanwhile, a purple-gold flame with explosive lightning power was ignited in the furnace.

It was the purple-volt spiritual fire! It was ranked 7 on the spiritual fire ranking of the Nine Desolations!

It was a top-notch spiritual item that could improve the quality of the core of a Core Formation stage cultivator.

For those Core Formation stage cultivators who ranked below 3, it was a divine item that could change their fate!

It could also change Fang Jinyu's fate.

It was because such a spiritual fire could strengthen his lightning-attribute spiritual root, making his lightning-attribute spiritual root's aptitude even better.

Although the spiritual roots of Nine Desolations' cultivators determined their upper limit, it didn't mean that it couldn't be changed.

All sorts of spiritual items could help cultivators break through their upper limit.

It was also the reason why all the sects in the Nine Desolations had a cultivator possess the Tianling spiritual root! It was because some cultivators weren't born with the Tianling spiritual root, but were "processed" later.

Of course, the number of resources required to nurture a Tianling spiritual root cultivator wasn't large, but they were all extremely precious items.

Even if cultivators were rich in spirit stones, they wouldn't be able to buy the spiritual items needed to nurture a Tianling spiritual root cultivator!

Therefore, only noble cultivation families with great power could nurture a Tianling spiritual root cultivator.

The usage of the Great Virtue Elixir was different from the previous elixirs. Fang Jinyu had to use his inner energy to refine it before he could throw this Core Formation stage elixir into the fire.

The process was undoubtedly time-consuming.

However, there was a benefit to it as well. It could be said that Fang Jinyu was unintentionally refining his spiritual fire by adding the elixir.

At that time, Fang Jinyu's pain would be halved when he fused with the spiritual fire.

[Today is a day of feeding the purple-volt spiritual fire.]

[Refined feeding technique 1]

Fang Jinyu was speechless.

The shock that Fang Jinyu had been feeling earlier vanished as soon as he realized what the "feeding technique" was. It was because it involved the refinement technique of the spiritual fire!

After feeding it with the Great Virtue Elixir for an entire day, the effects of the three elixirs were significant when they were added to the spiritual fire. Half of the apocalypse's filth was removed.

However, the filth that followed was particularly stubborn.

Fang Jinyu took three days to completely remove it. In an instant, its spirituality was completely restored, and the ball of spiritual fire seemed to have the intention of escaping.

However, Fang Jinyu's eyes and hands were quick, and he immediately drew them into his body.

Despite a halving of the pain, Fang Jinyu was still in excruciating pain from the explosive lightning power.

Fortunately, Fang Jinyu could still endure it.

However, at this moment, the powerful spiritual fire and lightning power triggered Fang Jinyu's authentic spirit bloodline. With a roar, the entire alchemy room collapsed.

The alchemy furnace was also blown away.

It was the purple mystical alchemy furnace that had exploded.

As for the alchemy furnace that was originally in the alchemy room… A mere low-grade spirit tool was naturally shattered by the violent lightning power.

…

"Senior Brother Fang, even though you destroyed the alchemy furnace, thankfully no one nearby was harmed. Hence, you only need to compensate for 18000 spirit stones."

The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator who was in charge of the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li" easily calculated the compensation amount and showed it to Fang Jinyu.

Fang Jinyu didn't say a word. He quickly paid the compensation and left the peak.

"Senior Brother Fang, please come again!" The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator who was in charge of the peak didn't forget to call out to Fang Jinyu, and then he began to think about which other alchemy rooms were in remote locations on the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li."

In the past, it was challenging to rent those places to others because of the low spiritual energy and the weak fire of the underground fire veins. However, they could now rent it to "Senior Brother Fang" and let him explode the alchemy rooms for fun!

Anyway, they could receive Fang Jinyu's compensation, so the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li" wouldn't suffer losses and could even make a small profit.

Fang Jinyu had left expressionless in a hurry as if he had a lot of thoughts on his mind. However, when he returned to his immortal estate on Mount Xiaohe, he couldn't help but smile.

Although Fang Jinyu's superior-tier spiritual alchemy furnace—the purple mystical alchemy furnace—had been blown away, it was naturally fine.

Fang Jinyu immediately kept it in his portable storage space.

Fang Jinyu was happy because after the purple-volt spiritual fire had triggered his ancient authentic spirit Kui cattle bloodline, the restrictions in the bloodline helped him to easily and completely refine the superior-tier spiritual fire that was ranked 7 on the spiritual fire ranking!

However, the lightning power that destroyed the alchemy room wasn't caused by the purple-volt spiritual fire.

Once the spiritual fire was refined, it would be very "gentle" and wouldn't cause such a backlash.

The destructive lightning power that had destroyed the alchemy room had originated from Fang Jinyu's "awakened" authentic spirit bloodline's great divine power—the thunderbolt!

Fang Jinyu waved his hand, and lightning descended.

Once Fang Jinyu succeeded, he could kill his enemies with lightning from a thousand miles away!

72 The Reason Why There Are So Many Swords in the Immortal Cultivation World

It was indeed the authentic spirit bloodline that would always be accompanied by thunder and lightning when it appeared!

Fang Jinyu's benefits weren't limited to it. Other than the different attributes of the spiritual roots, there were also differences in their aptitudes. There were four classes, A, B, C, and D. In addition, each class was subcategorized into two classes denoted by "" and "-".

...

Initially, after Fang Jinyu used the Mortal-Transmutation Elixir to remove the fire element from his spiritual roots, his wind attribute and lightning attribute spiritual roots were rated B-. However, his lightning-attribute spiritual roots directly upgraded to A after he refined the purple-volt spiritual fire!

Fang Jinyu even got an A!

The improvement of his spiritual roots cleared Fang Jinyu's mind. Everything that he hadn't been able to understand before, as long as it was related to the lightning attribute, was now clear in his mind.

Fang Jinyu immediately understood it!

It was the benefit of having a strong spiritual root!

Not only could Fang Jinyu cultivate faster and improve his efficiency in refining elixirs, but he also had an advantage in understanding and cultivating great divine power spells that were compatible with his spiritual root. He could get twice the result with half the effort.

"Lifeless thunderstorm technique, great success."

"I have an idea on how to refine a lightning attribute spirit tool."

"Although I've wasted a lot of time refining this purple-volt spiritual fire, it's worth it!"

Fang Jinyu was overjoyed.

Fang Jinyu had yet to master the authentic spirit bloodline's great divine power—the thunderbolt fully, which made the great divine power lack power and consume a lot of inner energy. Although it would drain half of his inner energy, it greatly boosted his combat power.

"When I'm ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage, I will consume the Six Alloy Elixir. At that time, I can fight against cultivators who rank 1 or 2 in the Core Formation stage for a while by using the authentic spirit bloodline's great divine power!"

As someone who possessed an authentic spirit bloodline, Fang Jinyu was naturally well aware of the power of the great divine power.

Fang Jinyu thought, "No wonder the book mentioned that the Lei sisters will immediately stand out after they awakened their ancient authentic spirit Kui cattle bloodline. The Tianling Sect immediately focus on training them and they enjoy better treatment than disciples with a Tianling spiritual root!"

If a cultivator with a Tianling spiritual root wanted to fight someone beyond their stage, their chance of winning depended on their luck and whether the Core Formation stage cultivator they met was weak.

However, unless they came across Core Formation stage cultivators who had also awakened their authentic spirit bloodline, individuals who had awakened their authentic spirit bloodline might briefly exchange blows with Core Formation stage cultivators.

Things were the same for a Core Formation stage cultivator. It was the rascal aspect of the authentic spirit bloodline.

After all, for someone like Fang Jinyu, who could draw a bolt of lightning from the depths of the heavens, even someone with a cultivation base far superior to Fang Jinyu's couldn't ignore his power. Instead, they could only choose to avoid it or try to disperse it.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu began to refine spirit tools.

However, since Fang Jinyu possessed the purple-volt spiritual fire, he didn't need to go to a peak that was especially used for refining spirit tools.

Initially, Fang Jinyu had only planned to use the Lightning Strike Stone given by the Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster to refine a saber or sword-shaped lightning-attribute spirit tool. It was because this type of spirit tool would usually require fewer materials and didn't require any profound craftsmanship.

It was why cultivators' talismans and spirit tools were mostly made in the shape of swords.

However, Fang Jinyu changed his mind after he obtained a few more Lightning Strike Stones from the Monastic Immortal City.

Fang Jinyu could refine a powerful mountain-shaped spirit tool of any size with the Lightning Strike Stones and some Cuprites!

Before Fang Jinyu had transmigrated, the most unforgettable thing he had seen in the television series "Gods of Honour" was the Earthshaking Seal.

Moreover, if he managed to refine such a spirit tool…

It could also help Fang Jinyu greatly when he obtained the half-magic treasure that was still in the process of being nurtured.

It was Su Yier's future opportunity and also one of the few opportunities that Fang Jinyu could use. Furthermore, the opportunity wasn't of much use to her since she even gave it to her spirit beast as a toy. However, Fang Jinyu needed it very much!

"With luck, I can become a lightning-attribute Tianling spiritual root cultivator if I succeed!"

Fang Jinyu wouldn't have such thoughts if his spiritual roots weren't graded A, because he could only sigh in admiration at the level of luck he had back then. However, he wouldn't have to use too much luck since his spiritual roots were graded A. Even the current amount of luck that Fang Jinyu has at his disposal is enough.

However, Fang Jinyu believed that he should increase his luck before it.

Otherwise, Fang Jinyu would have to face a lot of trouble as soon as he attained a Tianling spiritual root cultivator.

Many factors made it possible for Fang Jinyu to become the leader of the Monastic Immortal Alliance after he killed Lu Shaojun. Although he had disguised himself well, the fact that there had been no accidents so far was more or less related to his luck.

Those with strong luck would have everything go according to their wishes.

Those with weak luck would get tooth decay even if they drank cold water.

The purple-volt spiritual fire flickered and split apart a few Lightning Strike Stones without damaging its lightning power. After all, the grade of the spiritual fire was far higher than the Lightning Strike Stones.

The Lightning Strike Stone was precious only because it was a lightning-attribute spiritual item!

In terms of spiritual items, it was only below average.

Next was the Cuprite, which was also a lower-middle grade spiritual item. Although it wasn't very precious, it was still a rare item in this place.

It was because the Cuprite was a kind of bulky spiritual item. Although it was only the size of a palm, it weighed 1000 kilograms.

It made the transportation of such spiritual items extremely inconvenient.

Moreover, the place of the manufacturer was far away from the Tianling Sect. There were six or seven desolate forbidden lands and two mortal dynasties between them. Therefore, it was difficult to find a Cuprite in the vicinity.

However, some people were still selling it. The major and minor sects, with a Core Formation stage cultivator in charge, would go there by the stargazing flying ship and bring back some Cuprite using some secret techniques.

There were many of them in the Tianling Sect.

Fang Jinyu obtained his Cuprite from the Monastic Immortal City. It was because it was convenient for him to refine spirit tools, and he wanted to take the opportunity to display his "skills" as a Core Formation stage cultivator.

Foundation Establishment stage cultivators couldn't easily bring so much Cuprite when they left.

After all, it was one of the few opportunities Fang Jinyu could impersonate a Core Formation stage cultivator.

Two days later, the spirit tool was completed. Since Fang Jinyu only used lower-middle-grade materials, he could only refine a middle-grade spirit tool. However, the seal-shaped spirit tool was bulky, weighing over 100000 kilograms. Fortunately, he had refined it and had a high cultivation base. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to use it.

Other than that, Fang Jinyu also had a few wind-attribute spiritual items.

These spiritual items all had higher grades, which were upper-middle grades.

The only downside was that Fang Jinyu only had a few wind-attribute spiritual items. They were only enough for Fang Jinyu to refine a three feet long wind-attribute spirit sword.

Fortunately, it was a high-grade spirit tool.

However, it couldn't be compared to Qin Haoyue's previous sword. After all, the other party's sword could release spiritual fire, and Fang Jinyu didn't dare reveal that he had the purple-volt spiritual fire.

One's refined spiritual fire could be seized by others, that's why!

The only thing that couldn't be seized was the authentic spirit bloodline.

The authentic spirit bloodline could be used to refine spirit tools. Even if one didn't have excellent refining skills, they could still refine superior-grade spirit tools!

For example, the Lei sisters.

73 I Want to Put on a Plain and Unassuming Front Too

As soon as Fang Jinyu stepped out of his immortal estate, he heard the heavy sound of a bell.

"Ding! Ding!"

...

The voice seemed to come from beyond the sky, but it also sounded in Fang Jinyu's heart.

It was the Tianling Sect's Heaven-Earth Bell.

It was a magic treasure.

It was powerful, and it was said that the reason the Tianling Sect was able to become one of the six great sects in the Nine Desolations was that they relied on the Heaven-Earth Bell to suppress their luck.

"All disciples of the Tianling Sect who joined the sect before 30 years old must participate in the competition of the 72 peaks three days later. Those with outstanding results will be able to meet the Grandmaster to receive guidance and precious treasures as a reward."

When Fang Jinyu heard the sect leader's order, he was slightly taken aback.

Fang Jinyu had some impressions of the competition.

"It turns out that I've been cultivating for so many years…" It was the reason why Fang Jinyu was shocked. He had been putting a lot of effort into his cultivation to defy the heavens and alter the course of his destiny ever since he had received the "guidance" of the miraculous book. However, he had never thought about how old he was.

It was only when the bell tolled that Fang Jinyu realized that he was already 30 years old, including the age of the former Fang Jinyu.

Fang Jinyu didn't include his age before his transmigration, the lifespan he had lost by consuming the Mortal-Transmutation Elixir, and the dozen years of lifespan he had lost by using the stone orb magic treasure to open up his mystery realm.

Otherwise, Fang Jinyu could be considered an old man.

"Speaking of which, what's the reward for this competition?" Fang Jinyu thought for a moment, but couldn't recall anything. The only reason he had an impression of the competition was that Su Yier had put on a plain and unassuming front, but in reality, she amazed everyone.

At that time, Fang Jinyu didn't remember who Su Yier's opponent was, but he did know that she had some old animosity with her opponent.

Naturally, Su Yier's opponent wouldn't let go of such an opportunity, so she took the initiative to challenge Su Yier. In the end, Su Yier only glanced at her and said indifferently, "Senior Sister, I'm already a Core Formation stage cultivator. You can leave now!"

Su Yier stopped suppressing her Core Formation aura when she finished her words. Her opponent was in a daze after being overwhelmed with shock. She kept muttering about her misfortune, such as "It's impossible!" Afterward, her master brought her away because her actions were too embarrassing.

Not long after, it was said that she was so shocked that she even fell into Qi deviation and lost all her cultivation base. She then died from falling off the cliff.

It was considered a direct exit.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but think, "I wonder if Su Yier is still a Core Formation stage cultivator?" Afterward, he began to prepare for the competition.

Fang Jinyu was tempted by the Grandmaster's advice, which the sect leader had mentioned, even though he had forgotten the specifics of the rewards.

After all, Fang Jinyu hadn't had a master to guide him since he started cultivating. He had been fumbling along the way.

If it weren't for Fang Jinyu's talent and gains from the system, he would still be an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Meanwhile, a Messenger Talisman flew over.

Fang Jinyu waved his hand, and the talisman landed in his hand. He looked at it and realized Xin Qianqian was looking for him. She said that she had something important to tell him.

Fang Jinyu silently kept the talisman. However, he turned around and returned to his immortal estate. It was because he believed that Xin Qianqian didn't really have any important matters…

Even though Fang Jinyu refined two spirit tools, he still needed to use inner energy to care for them.

Due to his spiritual roots, Fang Jinyu's inner energy could be divided into wind-attribute and lightning-attribute. It was naturally extremely compatible with two spirit tools.

"It will be great if the reward for the competition had a high-grade single-lightning attribute spell…" Fang Jinyu couldn't help but think that if he successfully converted into a lightning-attribute Tianling spiritual root, he would have to change his cultivation technique again.

Cultivators needed to develop methods that complemented the attributes of their spiritual roots.

It was also the reason that Fang Jinyu couldn't help but exclaim in awe at Xin Qianqian's cultivation method. Her technique was versatile!

No matter what kind of spiritual roots attribute cultivators had, they could cultivate it!

Three days later, Fang Jinyu, who was well-prepared, made his way to Mount Shidao.

Private competitions and sect competitions were all held at Mount Shidao. However, the former was common, while the latter was not.

However, Core Formation stage cultivators would arrange for their disciples to compete with each other regularly. Sometimes, a few Core Formation stage cultivators who were close to each other would gather together and discuss letting their disciples have a competition.

Fang Jinyu was similar to a rogue cultivator in some ways, aside from being able to take advantage of the Tianling Sect's generous benefits.

By the time Fang Jinyu arrived, many of the sect's disciples were already at Mount Shidao.

Some of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators didn't want to pack in like sardines at the bottom, just like the Qi Condensation stage cultivators, so they just hovered in the air on their spirit tools. Moreover, a few Core Formation stage cultivators had also arrived early.

The reason the Core Formation stage cultivators attended the competition wasn't that there was anything that attracted them. However, it was their routine activities to give the disciples the illusion that as long as their performance was outstanding enough, they could draw the great Core Formation stage cultivator's attention and be accepted as their disciples.

Of course, it wasn't as if the great Core Formation stage cultivator wouldn't accept any disciples.

However, those who could be accepted as the Core Formation stage cultivator's disciples had long been in contact with each other in private. They attended the competition and were nothing more than trying to gain some fame. At the same time, they could make the competition more interesting. It was killing two birds with one stone.

Fang Jinyu suddenly felt someone looking at him. He looked over and saw a young girl with bright eyes.

Fang Jinyu smiled at her.

However, the young girl came to his side angrily and asked, "Senior brother, why didn't you come and find me?"

"I need to conserve my energy." Fang Jinyu's words were a double-edged sword.

Xin Qianqian immediately shot Fang Jinyu a look and thought, "I can tell it!"

Just as Xin Qianqian was about to say something, a jade token suddenly flew up, and a voice said, "The first match, Fang Jinyu of Mount Xiaohe versus Su Yier of Mount Tianling."

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but be a little surprised. He thought, "I didn't expect to be the first to go onto the battlefield. It seems like my fate as cannon fodder didn't change at all. It's indeed true that I won't have the chance to appear last with suspense."

Thus, Fang Jinyu flew up on his spirit tool.

However, Fang Jinyu was a little surprised and thought, "Isn't Su Yier from Mount Lingjian? Why did she go to Mount Tianling? Although she and Ling Xiaojiu quarreled and broke up from time to time, they will get back together soon after!"

When Fang Jinyu was mulling it over, he saw Su Yier come up as well.

When Fang Jinyu saw Su Yier's cultivation base, he felt strange. However, he couldn't help but show a sincere smile and say, "Junior Sister Su."

Su Yier was only ranked 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Although Su Yier had only broken through the Foundation Establishment stage in three to four years and her cultivation base was improving at a shocking speed, the book stated that it had only taken her five years to break through the Core Formation stage from the moment she entered the sect!

However, Su Yier's cultivation speed was greatly reduced!

"Hello, Senior Brother Fang." Su Yier had already forgotten who Fang Jinyu was. Although they had met twice, and the first time they even had some disagreements, she had long forgotten about the ordinary-looking Fang Jinyu since she often met handsome guys.

Su Yier had no impression of a passerby with the surname Fang.

Fang Jinyu nodded and said, "Junior Sister Su, I'm already a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. You can leave now!"

74 I'll Only Use One Move

Fang Jinyu's tone was calm, without the slightest hint of contempt.

Of course, you would believe it if you ignored what he was thinking.

...

At this moment, Su Yier's eyes slightly reddened when she heard Fang Jinyu's words. She immediately revealed a look of anger and said, "Are you looking down on me?! Are you going to belittle me just because I'm a woman?"

As soon as Su Yier finished her words, some of the female cultivators in the surrounding area looked at Fang Jinyu unfriendly.

Although there was one female Core Formation stage cultivator and was well aware of the difference between cultivators who ranked 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage and who ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage, she couldn't help but reveal a look of displeasure at Fang Jinyu.

Fang Jinyu was speechless.

Fang Jinyu thought, "I just want to put on a plain and unassuming front, but why I can't amaze the others?"

"Why didn't Su Yier mutter about her misfortune?"

"Is it because I'm not a Core Formation stage cultivator so I can't stimulate her?"

Fang Jinyu felt that it was a pity. However, he didn't dare to let Su Yier continue to draw hatred toward him. After all, her aura as the protagonist was simply too terrifying. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to keep avoiding her.

Thus, Fang Jinyu pretended to be flustered and said, "Junior Sister Su, you've misunderstood. A cultivator who ranks 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage can refine spiritual fire. Once a cultivator who ranks 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage uses the spiritual fire, those with great divine powers who ranked below 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage can only barely protect themselves from being injured."

However, Su Yier showed an unyielding attitude after hearing Fang Jinyu's words. She said, "Then just don't use your spiritual fire! Don't tell me you're going to kill me in the sect competition?"

Fang Jinyu tried his best to show a warm smile and said, "Junior Sister Su is right, I can't use the spiritual fire."

After all, Fang Jinyu had never intended to use his purple-volt spiritual fire.

Otherwise, Fang Jinyu would infuse a portion of the spiritual fire into his high-grade wind-attribute spirit tool. With the wind aiding the fire, the combination of the wind-attribute spirit sword and the spiritual fire would double the power!

Su Yier then nodded her head and said, "Senior brother, you're still a reasonable person."

Fang Jinyu was speechless again.

Although Fang Jinyu was cursing in his heart, he still showed a smiley face. He then took out his high-grade spirit tool and said, "Speaking of which, a high-grade spirit tool also has great powers. In this case, I won't use this high-grade spirit tool. Junior Sister Su, as long as you can block the attack of this middle-grade spirit tool, I will admit defeat."

Fang Jinyu kept his wind-attribute spirit sword and took out the "Thunderbolt Seal," which had shrunk to the size of a baby's fist.

Fang Jinyu had refined the lightning-attribute spirit tool by duplicating the Earthshaking Seal.

Fang Jinyu named it the Thunderbolt Seal according to the characteristics of its material.

Although it was only a middle-grade spirit tool, its weight and the lightning power contained within it would make it much stronger than Fang Jinyu's spirit sword!

If Su Yier survived, it could only be said that her luck was heaven-defying. At that time, she was indeed worthy of having the fate of a protagonist.

"Alright! Senior brother, since you're so arrogant, then I won't be polite to you!" Su Yier glanced at the Thunderbolt Seal in Fang Jinyu's hands and snorted angrily.

"Junior sister, catch it!"

Fang Jinyu continued to frame Su Yier while he was talking. When he poured his inner energy into it, the spirit tool's strength immediately increased to its maximum.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu struck out his seal!

"Boom!"

The lightning power filled the air, and a gust of cold wind violently blew out. The scene was astonishing and mighty, like turbid waves that soared into the sky.

Then, Fang Jinyu won without any suspense.

However, Fang Jinyu felt that it was a pity because Su Yier was fine and had only fainted from the impact.

When Fang Jinyu's Thunderbolt Seal smashed Su Yier, a green screen of light suddenly appeared to protect her. It firmly saved her that it directly nullified Fang Jinyu's swift and violent attack.

It was a magic treasure!

It was a magic treasure that had its power activated!

Since Fang Jinyu also had a magic treasure, he was clear about the source of the green screen of light.

It was the last magic treasure in the Lingdu Secret Realm—the Cloud Mist Shield.

It was like mist and smoke, and also like a cloud of light. It had no fixed shape, but it was ever-changing. Once it was activated, it could be said to have an unparalleled defense, and its owner wouldn't be injured even if a few cultivators of the same stage attacked her!

If Su Yier obtained the Green Phoenix Scissors that Fang Jinyu had refined long ago, she would possess powerful offensive and defensive capabilities. It would make her more powerful than more than half of the great Core Formation stage cultivators the moment she broke through the Core Formation stage.

The difference in cultivation bases between Core Formation stage cultivators with different ranks was naturally even greater. A cultivator who ranked 3 in the Core Formation stage could easily defeat a cultivator who ranked 1 in the Core Formation stage. However, the premise was that neither of them used any magic treasures and only fought with their magic domains.

The increase in combat strength that magic treasures could provide to Core Formation stage cultivators was simply too great!

However, Fang Jinyu thought that Su Yier could forget about it now. She only had a turtle shell now.

Su Yier's turtle shell wasn't something she could activate at the moment. If Fang Jinyu was right, it was the split soul in her body that had protected her just now.

It was within Fang Jinyu's expectations.

After all, although the book described Su Yier's split soul as aloof and expressionless, it treated her well, as if it were her nanny.

Since Su Yier had only fainted and was completely fine, the few Core Formation stage cultivators in charge of the competition didn't blame Fang Jinyu. However, they seize her up from time to time.

After all, Fang Jinyu's Thunderbolt Seal was only a spirit tool, even though it was powerful.

However, Su Yier's green light screen was different. It looked unremarkable, but it was a magic treasure!

Even the great Core Formation stage cultivators might not have one.

Usually, only three out of every ten Core Formation stage cultivators had magic treasures.

Therefore, some Core Formation stage cultivators from the same family and sect had to share a magic treasure!

Fang Jinyu had achieved his goal.

Since they had bumped into each other, Fang Jinyu naturally had to find something for Su Yier to do to avoid her causing him trouble after the competition.

The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster had clearly stated that Core Formation stage cultivators weren't allowed to attack Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. However, what if Foundation Establishment stage cultivators attacked them first? After all, the sect's rules were rigid, but people were flexible.

The Core Formation stage cultivators were all very good at adapting.

The Core Formation stage cultivators didn't blame Fang Jinyu for anything. However, someone suddenly jumped out and glared at Fang Jinyu with hatred. He shouted, "How dare you attack Senior Sister Su?!"

Fang Jinyu asked in surprise, "How can I not attack her when we compete?" Afterward, he walked off the battlefield.

Fang Jinyu had always been too lazy to deal with such unreasonable people.

Moreover, if Fang Jinyu wasn't mistaken, that person was most likely one of Su Yier's "Lackeys."

Suddenly, Fang Jinyu realized something was wrong. He circulated his inner energy and instantly moved forward a few steps. He then avoided the sneak attack in time.

Fang Jinyu looked over in anger. It was indeed the shameless "Lackey" who was trying to sneak attack him. However, before he could say anything, he heard someone snort coldly, "All of you get down! This is where you compete, not a place for you to settle your grudges!"

Although it was clearly biased, Fang Jinyu still left.

It was because the person who had spoken was Ling Xiaojiu.

75 We Cultivators Never Hold Grudges! Really!

Fang Jinyu didn't want to give Ling Xiaojiu a chance to trouble him. After all, Fang Jinyu had just used his spirit tool to smash Ling Xiaojiu's disciple and lover. When the other Core Formation stage cultivators saw it, they wanted to help Fang Jinyu. After all, everyone knew Fang Jinyu was innocent as long as one wasn't blind. However, Ling Xiaojiu's Core Formation stage aura forced them to remain silent.

It was just a small matter and there were no benefits to it. Naturally, there was no need to offend Ling Xiaojiu over it.

...

Not only did Ling Xiaojiu have a magic treasure, but he also came from a noble cultivation family. Although his family had no Nascent Soul stage cultivators and thus lacked the Nascent Soul stage foundation, they were still considered extremely powerful in the Nine Desolations while they have three Core Formation stage cultivators in the same sect.

It wasn't worth it to offend someone of the same cultivation base from an aristocratic cultivation family because of helping an ordinary sect disciple!

As soon as Fang Jinyu came down, he landed directly next to Xin Qianqian.

It was because Fang Jinyu was the most familiar with her.

Fang Jinyu immediately heard Xin Qianqian say indignantly, "He's too much! How can he not get punished for his sneak attack?! Senior brother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Although he is a cultivator who ranks 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage, so am I." Fang Jinyu smiled and didn't seem to mind. After all, it wasn't worth it to be upset over such a thing, because being angry would only hurt him. Moreover, it would easily affect his mood in cultivation.

Fang Jinyu thought he might as well get the next opportunity to revenge on the other party.

Fang Jinyu thought, "We cultivators never hold grudges! Even though I kill him in the future, it is just to end the karma."

"Yes, it's true."

However, Xin Qianqian was a little angry at Fang Jinyu's nonchalant attitude. She said, "Senior brother, can you not be so generous? You'll easily be at a disadvantage! I don't know how you managed to cultivate the late-stage Foundation Establishment!"

"First, refine elixirs. Afterward, cultivate after consuming the elixirs. This is how I cultivate the late-stage Foundation Establishment." Fang Jinyu tried his best to keep his expression natural. It was because he was almost unable to hold back his laughter.

Xin Qianqian was speechless.

Xin Qianqian rolled her eyes at Fang Jinyu resentfully, then fell silent.

Xin Qianqian thought, "Is this the pride of an alchemist for relying on elixirs to cultivate?"

Xin Qianqian couldn't help but think of the elixirs Fang Jinyu had prepared for her, and she felt warm in her heart. Meanwhile, she couldn't help but smile.

Although Xin Qianqian had enough elixirs, she couldn't improve her cultivation base as easily as the "detestable man" in front of her. As a result, she was still ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

The only conclusion that could be drawn was that Xin Qianqian was truly deserving of the "unparalleled understanding" that allowed her to break through without using a Foundation Establishment Elixir!

With this in mind, Xin Qianqian smiled again. She thought, "It's all because of the man under her!"

Suddenly, Fang Jinyu felt someone poking his stomach.

Fang Jinyu lowered his head. Sure enough, the only person who could get close to him without him knowing and doing such a childish and boring action was Qing Fu.

"That man is Ximen Jianyi." Qing Fu said it hurriedly when she saw Fang Jinyu looking at her.

"You mean the one who attacked me before?"

Fang Jinyu was a little surprised. Although he knew Ximen Jianyi, he had no idea what he looked like.

"Yes!"

Seeing Qing Fu nod, Fang Jinyu's expression turned strange. He thought, "After losing his sword, Ximen Jianyi surprisingly didn't turn evil, and his cultivation base didn't improve much."

"Is this the result of not having luck?"

Fang Jinyu was shocked.

For the first time, Fang Jinyu had the most direct understanding of luck. It seemed that his smooth-sailing cultivation journey was more or less related to the luck that the sword brought him.

Although Fang Jinyu couldn't use the part of luck, it was still with him.

Therefore, Fang Jinyu had more or less gained some benefits.

With this in mind, Fang Jinyu's desire for luck grew. It seemed that he had to put his previous plan on the table. However, he didn't know much about how spirit beasts and cultivators from the devil's realm and the City of Liches break through the Foundation Establishment stage. He had to study them carefully.

In the world of immortal cultivation, if one gave the path of immortal cultivation benefits, one would naturally be considered to have contributed to the world and would be recognized by the heavens and earth.

The path of immortal cultivation included humans, demons, Liches, and even spirit beasts with a little bit of intelligence, as well as the strange creatures in the desolate forbidden land.

Therefore, it was extremely difficult to create a brand new Foundation Establishment Elixir that was universal and easy to obtain. If not for Fang Jinyu's gains from his system, as well as his deep knowledge of medicinal properties, he wouldn't have dared to have such a thought.

"Hey, hey, hey, did you become stupid?" At this moment, a small hand was waving back and forth in front of Fang Jinyu.

Fang Jinyu said, "I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect him to be Ximen Jianyi."

"Who is the person you're talking about?" Xin Qianqian glanced at Qing Fu. Although she didn't know Qing Fu, she knew that her "Senior Brother Fang" had once helped two people to join the Tianling Sect. One was his cousin, and the other was probably his cousin as well.

Since she was his cousin, it didn't matter.

Xin Qianqian believed that the kind and honest "Senior Brother Fang" was definitely not a bastard.

Xin Qianqian was assured.

Qing Fu blinked her eyes and said, "He's a disciple of Mount Lingjian."

Xin Qianqian couldn't help but ask, "Do you guys have any old grudges against him?"

Qing Fu put on an innocent look and said, "Yes! He once slapped me for no reason! It was just because I called her junior sister's name!" Speaking of which, Ximen Jianyi's slap made her feel in danger, so she understood a bunch of "secret techniques."

For example, Qing Fu understood the "I'm good at hiding" and the "mystery realm" after the incident.

"He's crossing the line!" Xin Qianqian naturally believed in Qing Fu's words. She then asked curiously, "It seems like he really likes his junior sister! But why did he fall in love with someone else?"

"His junior sister is Junior Sister Su. It's just that I don't know what happened that made her join Mount Tianling." As Fang Jinyu said, he guessed in his heart.

Fang Jinyu felt that Su Yier would join Mount Tianling because of the "investigation report" that he and Jiao Taohua had submitted.

Could it be that the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster had discovered something?

Just as Fang Jinyu was mulling it over, a jade token flew up, and a voice said, "Ximen Jianyi of Mount Lingjian versus Fang Jinyu of Mount Xiaohe."

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he immediately understood the situation. He was scheduled to battle Ximen Jianyi after someone snitched on the competition's progress.

The person who said it also knew that there was something fishy about it. Hence, he said, "The rules of the competition are to fight three rounds, regardless of the cultivator's rank. Therefore, it is normal to draw two matches together."

The ranking was a way to easily attract hatred. Although it could encourage the disciples to focus on the competition, it was more likely to lead to murder among fellow disciples.

Therefore, the Tianling Sect canceled the ranking competition a few hundred years ago.

Fang Jinyu didn't say anything and immediately flew up. After all, he had to get revenge on Ximen Jianyi for his sneak attack, right?

Although it was a competition and Fang Jinyu couldn't be too harsh, he could still hurt Ximen Jianyi.

At this moment, on the battlefield, Ximen Jianyi looked at Fang Jinyu gloomily, and his eyes were full of hatred. He said, "You deserve to die because you hurt Senior Sister Su!"

As soon as Ximen Jianyi finished speaking, he took out his sword.

The sword was a superior-grade spirit tool, and it derived a myriad of flames.

76 He Is a Scapegoat

It was the swordsmanship!

Ximen Jianyi's swordsmanship was enough to prove that he was half a sword cultivator.

...

The few Core Formation stage cultivators around him nodded slightly.

One of the Core Formation stage cultivators couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother Ling's disciple is so perceptive. In my opinion, he only needs to break through rank 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage and cultivate it to perfection. Afterward, he can be considered a true sword cultivator."

Another Core Formation stage cultivator exclaimed, "This swordsmanship is indeed worthy of the title of being unparalleled in battle strength among its peers! The only ones who can suppress it are cultivators with a lightning-attribute Tianling spiritual root who have cultivated the lightning-attribute techniques to their limits."

It was because Ximen Jianyi's attack was too shocking.

Ximen Jianyi had an astonishing aura. Moreover, the ferocity of his swordsmanship was also like the shackles of misfortune. It was as if it struck Fang Jinyu's fate, causing his entire body to feel stiff.

Fortunately, the ancient authentic spirit Kui cattle bloodline was powerful. When it felt the pressure, it suddenly struggled, which allowed Fang Jinyu to regain consciousness. Afterward, he quickly tried to dodge. However, he found that he no longer needed to do so.

It was because Ximen Jianyi's terrifying and mind-shaking sword attack had been missed!

The monstrous sword attack directly smashed into the battle ring.

Fortunately, a Core Formation stage cultivator reinforced the battle ring. Otherwise, the sword's attack would break it.

The surprised Fang Jinyu was speechless.

Fang Jinyu thought, "What is Ximen Jianyi doing?"

Fang Jinyu then saw Ximen Jianyi's stunned expression. Ximen Jianyi even looked a little startled.

"So it's an accident?"

Fang Jinyu thought to himself.

Ximen Jianyi attacked again.

An invisible flame leaped out.

As the wind blew, the invisible flame turned into a curtain of fire, as if it had ignited half of the sky!

Just as Ximen Jianyi was about to use the curtain of fire in the sky to kill Fang Jinyu, his expression suddenly changed.

It was because the wind around them was starting to get out of control.

Fang Jinyu was cursing Ximen Jianyi in his heart for his shameless sneak attack. At the same time, he looked at Ximen Jianyi with a strange expression.

It was because although Ximen Jianyi's attack was powerful, the strange thing was that he focused most of the wind power on Fang Jinyu without controlling it.

To someone like Fang Jinyu, who had a wind-attribute spiritual root, Ximen Jianyi's action was no different from advantaging him.

Therefore, Fang Jinyu didn't hold back in the face of such a generous gift.

Fang Jinyu used his myriad transformation technique!

Fang Jinyu instantly seized control of the wind, and a giant that looked like Fang Jinyu appeared above Mount Shidao. It swooped down with a majestic aura, and the disciples of the Tianling Sect, regardless of whether they were in the Foundation Establishment stage or the Qi Condensation stage, who was watching the competition with great interest, quickly fled.

As Fang Jinyu's wind power dragged it down, the curtain of fire in the sky collapsed on its own.

Ximen Jianyi suffered from the backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Fang Jinyu thought Ximen Jianyi was going to say some villainous words with a face full of hatred. However, Ximen Jianyi suddenly looked toward Ling Xiaojiu. Although he didn't say anything, he showed a ferocious expression.

Even an outsider like Fang Jinyu could feel the hatred.

So, what was going on?

Fang Jinyu had strangely won again.

However, Fang Jinyu soon knew what was going on with Ximen Jianyi.

It was because many disciples of the Tianling Sect were talking about Ximen Jianyi.

A Qi Condensation stage disciple said, "Sigh, Martial Uncle Ximen Jianyi is still as unlucky as before!"

A Foundation Establishment stage disciple who once battled Ximen Jianyi said, "What's going on with Senior Brother Ximen? The last time I saw him so unlucky was that time."

Another Foundation Establishment stage disciple said, "Junior brother, I don't understand what you're talking about!"

Fang Jinyu listened to the discussions of the Tianling Sect's disciples and came up with a summary of Ximen Jianyi's unfortunate events.

Ximen Jianyi started to be inexplicably unlucky without knowing the date.

Ximen Jianyi would still be fine when he was in the Tianling Sect. No matter how unlucky he was, it was just a small problem. However, as long as he left the Tianling Sect, he would always encounter all kinds of disasters.

Ximen Jianyi would either run into people killing and stealing treasures and then the other party would try to silence him by killing him, or he would accidentally encounter some scandal and be hunted down by the other party.

Otherwise, Ximen Jianyi would be mistaken for the murderer and suspected of being a conspirator…

If that were the case, it would be fine.

The key was that whenever Ximen Jianyi fought with anyone, he would always have some inexplicable problems. He would either find out that he had brought the wrong spirit tool when he attacked his enemies or strike down his sword without hurting anyone.

If it wasn't for the fact that Ximen Jianyi ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage and had refined a mysterious but powerful spiritual fire, he would have died outside the sect.

"When did Ximen Jianyi become so unlucky?" Fang Jinyu asked Qing Fu after some thought.

"It's after he and his master had a fight and his injuries recovered." Qing Fu blinked her eyes and spoke with a serious face. After getting slapped by Ximen Jianyi, one day, she suddenly realized a secret technique. For some reason, the secret technique only worked on Ximen Jianyi, so she didn't bother to name it.

However, it made Qing Fu remember clearly when Ximen Jianyi started to be unlucky.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but glance at the little girl.

Fang Jinyu thought, "Isn't it when she 'slapped' away Ximen Jianyi's sword? In other words, Ximen Jianyi was so unlucky because he had lost the overwhelming luck?"

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but be shocked, and then he couldn't help but gasp.

Did it turn out that after losing one's luck, one would start to be unlucky?

Soon, Fang Jinyu's expression became strange again. He seemed to know why Ximen Jianyi's expression had changed.

Ximen Jianyi's hatred for Ling Xiaojiu was most likely because he thought that Ling Xiaojiu was the one who caused his misfortune!

To put it simply, Ling Xiaojiu was the scapegoat…

Ling Xiaojiu couldn't even prove his innocence…

After all, luck was something that even some Nascent Soul stage Grandmasters were puzzled about.

It was now Fang Jinyu's turn for the third round, but the other party admitted defeat as soon as he stepped onto the stage. Fang Jinyu's two attacks had already caused some Foundation Establishment stage cultivators to tremble in fear. Furthermore, his opponent this time was only an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

After three rounds of competition, Fang Jinyu was free from the competition. Hence, he went straight to study some elixir books.

The Tianling Sect was well-equipped in every way because it was one of the six major sects in the Nine Desolations.

Not only did the sect's records mention the devil's realm, the City of Liches, and the desolate forbidden land, but they also mentioned the apocalypse.

77 It Isn't Done by a Native Cultivator

Fang Jinyu flipped through the Tianling Sect's manuals and found out that the City of Liches was a stone city. It was as if it had been forged naturally by the heavens and earth, and even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator would find it difficult to damage it. Furthermore, it was divided into two parts, which were the inner city and the outer city.

Currently, the Liches are only living in the outer city of the City of Liches.

...

In the past, a sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster had once joined forces with a Nascent Soul stage Lich from the City of Liches to explore the inner city of the stone city. However, both of them had mysteriously disappeared.

Soon, the remains of the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators were discovered.

However, the strange thing was that the remains had a terrifying corrosive power. Any Lich that came into contact with it would turn into deviated Liches. The most shocking thing was that things became easier for deviated Liches to cultivate, but they were also stronger than their peers!

An ordinary Foundation Establishment stage deviated Lich could fight against a sword cultivator who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, the devil's realm was far from what was described in the strange book.

According to the Tianling Sect's manuals, the devil's realm wasn't united. Instead, it was separated into different forces. Some of the devil's realm was only the size of a village, while others were the size of two or three immortal cities.

The devil's realm would invade the Nine Desolations from time to time. However, the devil's realm that appeared in the Nine Desolations was only village-sized. There were only a few wisps of devil's energy inside, so no one noticed it.

Just like the inner city of the City of Liches, the devil's realm had also hidden an ancient secret!

Some devil's realms would be overflown with blood flow just like living things. There were even records that cultivators of the Nine Desolations had once heard heartbeats from the devil's realms.

Moreover, many places of the devil's realm would have stone tablets that looked like tombstones. However, it recorded how to resurrect a dead person.

Although some cultivators from the Nine Desolations had tried, no one knew what the results were.

It only recorded that the cultivators who tried the resurrect method on the stone tablets would disappear with their sect.

Compared to the strange happenings in the City of Liches and the devil's realm, the desolate forbidden land didn't seem as scary anymore. Most of the desolate forbidden lands had become less mysterious after generations of exploration by the cultivators of the Nine Desolations. The death rate of those who went in to explore was low.

As long as one could find the corresponding method, even Qi Condensation stage cultivators could walk out of the desolate forbidden land safely.

However, there were still some desolate forbidden lands that were terrifying.

There was a desolate forbidden land that looked like a tomb, so it was called the "Immortal Ancient Desolate Tomb." It was recorded that only a few cultivators who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage who went inside to explore were lucky enough to come out alive. The rest, even the Nascent Soul stage cultivators, didn't come out again.

However, cultivators would be fine as long as they avoided the Immortal Ancient Desolate Tomb.

The strangest and most dangerous place was the mountain forest-like desolate forbidden land. It would take the initiative to lure people in. There was once a Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster who barged into it for the sake of his descendants. However, he escaped with serious injuries and left behind a few extremely strange words before his death.

As for the apocalypse, the Tianling Sect's manuals didn't give information about it.

Aside from what Fang Jinyu already knew, the apocalypse wasn't a land of absolute death. Although it looked like a place for the deaths, there were chances to live. People who obtained the chance could lead to eternal life.

The book did mention that the so-called eternal life was most likely becoming a part of the group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had abandoned the Nine Desolations immortal path.

However, Fang Jinyu wasn't sure about it.

It was because there was a problem with the "eternal life" of those Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had abandoned the immortal path.

Fang Jinyu was still flipping through all sorts of books.

It was also one of the rewards of the competition. The participants could come to "Mount Diancang" to read some of the books for free. They could also make an exception and rent the books out, but they had to return them within half a month.

Due to this benefit, many of the Tianling Sect's disciples participated in the competition.

It was because of "Mount Diancang" restrictions. The only people permitted to enter and read the books inside were late-stage Foundation Establishment stage cultivators with higher cultivation bases. Furthermore, even late-stage Foundation Establishment stage cultivators had to spend merit points to come here.

However, while Fang Jinyu was happily reading on "Mount Diancang", someone else wasn't happy because she had been stood up by him again.

Hence, after she had completed her third round of competition, Xin Qianqian came to "Mount Diancang" to look for Fang Jinyu.

"Senior brother, did you forget something?"

Xin Qianqian poured Fang Jinyu a cup of tea with a smile.

"Junior sister, you had something to tell me…" Only then did Fang Jinyu remember that after he had participated in the third round of the competition, Xin Qianqian had asked him to go to Mount Goddess to find her.

However, Fang Jinyu was so engrossed in reading that he forgot about it.

Fang Jinyu felt a little awkward when he thought about it.

It was because the situation was different from the last time. Fang Jinyu didn't mean to stand Xin Qianqian up, so he wasn't as confident as he was the last time.

Xin Qianqian rested her chin on one of her hands and said, tilting her head, "It's not convenient to talk about it here."

Fang Jinyu nodded and said, "Then let me rent a few manuals first." Although he didn't have countless merit points, he had a few thousand in case he needed them.

After all, many things in the Tianling Sect couldn't be bought with spirit stones.

The two of them returned to Mount Xiaohe together.

Then, Fang Jinyu turned around and found that much of the furniture in his immortal estate was made of magic.

Fang Jinyu was just about to say that he couldn't do it when a certain woman pounced on him and pushed him onto the bed.

…

They melted each other's souls like a hot knife in butter.

…

Fang Jinyu was being pushed away as usual, and he watched as her beautiful figure went to get dressed and wash up. He then simply put on a robe and picked up the book he had rented and continued reading.

Soon, the graceful figure came over with a faint fragrance.

She remained quiet but leaned on Fang Jinyu's shoulder for a while before asking softly, "Senior brother, these books only have descriptions of some ordinary spirit herbs. Are you looking for something?"

Fang Jinyu pointed to the three spirit herbs in the other book and said, "I'm looking for ordinary spirit herbs that have similar medicinal properties to these three spirit herbs but don't conflict with each other."

Although the medicinal properties of these three spirit herbs were similar to those of the Foundation Establishment Fruit, they all lacked a crucial medicinal property. However, if they could complement one another, Fang Jinyu could use his special "frugal" alchemy technique to refine a Foundation Establishment Elixir.

But before that, there was still a difficult problem.

If these three ingredients were used together, the final product wouldn't be a Foundation Establishment Elixir but a poison elixir that could poison a Qi Condensation stage cultivator to death.

It was because the medicinal properties of these three spirit herbs conflicted.

"Then I'll help you."

Xin Qianqian also picked up a book.

About two hours later, Fang Jinyu finally finished reading the book in his hands. He was regretful that he couldn't find it, so he wanted to ask Xin Qianqian if she had found it.

"How is it?"

"It's quite comfortable."

Fang Jinyu was speechless.

Fang Jinyu thought, "What's her brain filled with?"

Xin Qianqian's face turned slightly red as she leaned into Fang Jinyu's arms. She was no longer in the mood to read the book in her hands, so she subconsciously blurted out what she had just felt.

Fang Jinyu saw her glare and picked up a book.

Fang Jinyu pretended not to hear her.

"Senior brother, I have something important to tell you." As Fang Jinyu smelt a sweet scent, a certain woman approached him again.

"Go ahead. I'm listening."

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but look at Xin Qianqian. He was suspicious that the two of them had different understandings of the meaning of "important."

"The problem of the Foundation Establishment Fruit tress this time is very likely man-made."

Fang Jinyu looked at Xin Qianqian in surprise. Then, he saw her continue to speak in a serious tone, "It isn't done by a native Nine Desolations cultivator."

78 Carrying Her Grandmother Around

Fang Jinyu looked surprised. Before he could say anything, Xin Qianqian told him all the information about the "upper realm" outside of the Nine Desolations.

According to Xin Qianqian, the fluctuation of the spiritual energy in the Nine Desolations, which affected the harvest of the Foundation Establishment Fruits, and the bizarre death of a large number of Foundation Establishment Fruit trees not long ago, were all caused by the cultivators sent down by the "upper realm."

...

"What's their goal?" Fang Jinyu couldn't help but feel puzzled.

The Foundation Establishment Fruit was only important to the Qi Condensation stage cultivators. Usually, the upper realm wouldn't care about it at all.

Fang Jinyu could probably make up a story if Xin Qianqian mentioned that the upper realm came here to kill the Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

After all, Fang Jinyu had read a lot of novels before he transmigrated.

"The path of immortal cultivation starts with the Qi Condensation stage, but it doesn't end with the Nascent Soul stage. Cultivators who rank above 9 in the Nascent Soul stage are the Incarnation stage cultivators. Cultivators who rank above 9 in the Incarnation stage are the Immortal Ascension stage cultivators." Xin Qianqian whispered into Fang Jinyu's ear and deliberately let out a soft breath after she finished.

Thus, Fang Jinyu pulled Xin Qianqian into his arms and held her down firmly to prevent her from continuing to cause trouble.

Fang Jinyu said, "You're saying that a decrease in the number of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators is more beneficial to the Immortal Ascension stage cultivators?" It was a guess he had made.

"How can you relate the two of them? The decrease in the number of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators would damage the immortal path of the entire Nine Desolations because it was a crucial stage that connected the past and the future. Moreover, if there's a problem with the immortal path of the Nine Desolations, the upper realm can connect with the Nine Desolations and leave behind inheritances and treasures here." Xin Qianqian rolled her eyes at Fang Jinyu.

Xin Qianqian had asked her grandmother the same question at that time, and she had been severely despised by her grandmother.

"Just to leave an inheritance in the Nine Desolations?" Fang Jinyu couldn't understand.

"Of course, they have a purpose! Senior brother, listen to me carefully." Xin Qianqian was very unhappy that Fang Jinyu was pressing her down and made her hands couldn't move freely. However, she continued and said.

"It's not only an inheritance but also stopping the local inheritance in the Nine Desolations."

"To be precise, it's the upper realm's immortal path that wants to invade the immortal path in the Nine Desolations."

"It's because the Nine Desolations is a new immortal cultivation land. It's like a person in his prime who is full of vitality and full of hope. It's also the reason Nine Desolations is generous enough to give everyone an immortal seed when they broke through the Core Formation stage."

"Although the upper realm is vaster in their territory and stronger than the Nine Desolations, it's not as vibrant as the Nine Desolations. Therefore, such a world won't give its cultivators an immortal seed."

"As for the immortal seed, it's the foundation for breaking through the Incarnation stage."

Fang Jinyu finally understood the situation. With fewer Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, there would naturally be fewer people who could break through to the Core Formation stage. When the people from the upper realm descended, they could take more immortal seeds away!

After all, no matter how generous the immortal path of the Nine Desolations was, they couldn't give out too many immortal seeds. However, if the Nine Desolations had already accumulated a large number of immortal seeds before this, then it would be a different story.

Such a scheme was indeed worthy of being the scheme of the upper realm.

It was breathtaking.

Then, Fang Jinyu felt a sense of urgency. He had to break through to the Core Formation stage before the people from the upper realm descended!

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but ask, "Junior sister, can you tell me how you know all this?"

Xin Qianqian said smilingly, "Well, it's not impossible, but Senior Brother Fang, can you agree to marry into my family?"

Fang Jinyu said, "No problem."

Fang Jinyu agreed immediately. After all, a son-in-law was a necessary label for an expert.

Moreover, it was very difficult for immortal cultivators to have offspring.

It was especially true for someone like Fang Jinyu, who had awakened his ancient authentic spirit Kui cattle bloodline and had already refined his spiritual fire. Most of the immortal cultivators' descendants were born when they were in the Qi Condensation stage or the early-stage Foundation Establishment.

There were also examples of late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators giving birth to children. However, not only were the cases extremely rare, but none of those late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators had refined their spiritual fire without exception.

Xin Qianqian didn't expect Fang Jinyu to agree so easily. However, she assumed right away that her Senior Brother Fang was too kind and sincere. She thought that he couldn't bear to turn her down.

As such, even though Xin Qianqian's grandmother had repeatedly objected to it, she told Fang Jinyu everything without hesitation.

Xin Qianqian told Fang Jinyu everything she and her grandmother knew.

It profoundly demonstrated what it meant to help an outsider.

Only then did Fang Jinyu realize that the thing that had triggered his fortune-telling technique was a wisp of her grandmother's remnant soul in Xin Qianqian's body. As for her grandmother, she was a cultivator from a sect in the upper realm. More than 100 years ago, she had come to the Nine Desolations under the orders of her master. In the end, something happened to the sect that she was in, and she had been implicated.

It was because one had to swear an oath before joining the sects in the upper realm.

The oath would definitely come true!

The oath that Xin Qianqian's grandmother had made at that time was that if the sect was destroyed one day, she would die with the sect…

Hence, they died together.

However, it was also fortunate that she was in the Nine Desolations, which was a world away, and she had a chance to catch her breath.

Thus, she was lucky enough to leave behind a special remnant soul by using a secret technique. However, her remnant soul had also fallen into a deep sleep. She needed her descendant to break through the Foundation Establishment stage to wake her up.

As for Xin Qianqian, she had successfully broken through the Foundation Establishment stage just before her grandmother's remnant soul dissipated!

While awakening her grandmother's unique remnant soul, Xin Qianqian also saved her grandmother's life.

Fang Jinyu's eyes lit up.

Fang Jinyu thought, "No wonder the book didn't mention Xin Qianqian's grandmother! According to the time mentioned in the book, Xin Qianqian will need a few more years to break through the Foundation Establishment stage."

By that time, Xin Qianqian's grandmother had already disappeared.

"Doesn't it mean that your grandmother has seen it all?" Fang Jinyu couldn't help but point at himself and then at Xin Qianqian.

"Senior brother, don't be shy. At grandmother's age, what kind of tricks has she not experienced?" On the contrary, Xin Qianqian looked as if she didn't care.

Hearing it, Fang Jinyu couldn't help but think about it carefully and feel that Xin Qianqian's words made sense.

"Senior brother, what do you want to do by reading these books?" At this moment, Xin Qianqian couldn't help but ask again because her grandmother had mentioned this question in her mind several times.

Fang Jinyu saw that Xin Qianqian had even told him such a secret, so how could he keep it secret?

In any case, other than his gains from the system, there was nothing else that couldn't be said.

Of course, if Xin Qianqian didn't ask, Fang Jinyu wouldn't take the initiative to tell her.

"When I saw that something had happened to the Foundation Establishment Fruit tree, I thought of how many fellow sect members and rogue cultivators would have to suffer the pain of not being able to break through. So, I wanted to try using other spirit herbs to make a new Foundation Establishment Elixir." Fang Jinyu found a suitable excuse.

"Senior brother, will this work?" Xin Qianqian's eyes widened in shock.

Fang Jinyu said confidently, "I have some clues at the moment, but I still need to compare a few kinds of spirit herbs, as well as the specific changes in the devil's energy and the Liches' energy."

At this moment, unlike the inexperienced Xin Qianqian, her grandmother, who only had a wisp of soul left, was extremely shocked.

She knew that if Fang Jinyu succeeded, as long as he was still in the Nine Desolations, he would definitely become one of the most powerful Nascent Soul stage cultivators! It was just that the upper realm might curse the situation…

79 Aunt Zhang Is Right

Xin Qianqian left.

Xin Qianqian left in an unusually straightforward manner, without the slightest bit of reluctance.

...

Xin Qianqian was just short of tipping a few more spirit stones before she left.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu took the initiative to look for Junior Sister Sun, who was extremely weak.

"Senior Brother, don't let Junior Sister Xin empty your body."

Fang Jinyu raised an eyebrow at the joke, then replied calmly, "Junior Sister Sun, you should also restraint yourself too!"

The two of them were now in the same situation!

However, when Fang Jinyu thought of Xin Qianqian, who had just left today, he subconsciously pressed down on his waist.

Although it had been a long time since they last saw each other, it hurt his back.

When Sun Xinyu heard it, she was immediately annoyed. She thought, "I only looked weak, but I'm not really weak!"

"Don't judge me by my sick appearance and how I look like I will die at any time. My Yanling spirit root is already exerting its strength. The lifespan that had been devoured in the past years is now being returned to me in folds."

"Thus, even if I only cultivated ordinary techniques, my current physique is already far superior to those of the same rank!"

However, it was indeed easy for people to misunderstand Sun Xinyu's current appearance.

Sun Xinyu rolled her eyes at Fang Jinyu, and quickly asked, "Senior brother, is it possible to refine this elixir?"

The elixir Sun Xinyu was looking for was related to the conversion of her cultivation method.

Since the Yanling spirit root was special, the corresponding spells were naturally special. Back then, Sun Xinyu only cultivated ordinary low-grade techniques for the sake of breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage.

After all, even though the Yanling spirit root was strong and once Sun Xinyu overcame the life-and-death tribulation, even if she was only a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, she could enjoy 500 years of lifespan, just like a Core Formation stage. However, the premise was she had to break through the Foundation Establishment stage, right?

If Sun Xinyu failed to achieve it, everything would be just empty talk and delusions.

Even so, if it wasn't for the mysterious "Core Formation stage" cultivator who suddenly came a few years ago and left her 10 Foundation Establishment Elixirs as a threat rather than a reward, she would have completely turned into a pile of bones because of her Yanling spirit root devoured all her vitality.

It was just that since her Yanling spirit root was so impressive, the type of cultivation technique that was compatible with it was naturally extremely rare.

Fortunately, the Sun family was once one of the big families in the immortal cultivation world. Although her family had declined, as the saying goes, the body of a starved camel is still bigger than a living horse. When her family escaped that year, they were lucky enough to bring out some cultivation manuals. One of them was a high-grade spell for those with a Yanling spirit root to cultivate!

However, if one wanted to cultivate such a high-grade spell, one would need the assistance of several extremely rare elixirs.

Sun Xinyu had asked Fang Jinyu to refine elixirs many times in the past so that she could cultivate such a high-grade spell for her Yanling spirit root.

[Today is a day of practicing 18 postures with your junior sister and gaining nothing after a day of reading the prescription for the Dream and Nightmare Elixir.]

[Refined the Dream and Nightmare Elixir refining essence 1]

"Yes, I can." Fang Jinyu's mouth twitched, but he nodded.

Since the familiar text box had appeared, then no matter how difficult it was to refine the Dream and Nightmare Elixir, he would be able to complete it in one furnace.

Sun Xinyu was overjoyed and said, "Then, please help me to refine this elixir. Thank you, senior brother!" It wasn't that she hadn't looked for other alchemists, but they had no confidence in refining it and even asked for an exorbitant price.

Regardless of whether it worked or not, it would cost a large sum of spirit stones!

Even though Sun Xinyu had been generous when she gave Fang Jinyu his remuneration, that was after she had sold her family's elixir store, her grandfather's life savings, and the benefits she had obtained from the outer ring of the secret land.

It could be said that it looked like a lot, but in reality, it wasn't enough for Sun Xinyu to spend.

If the alchemist could refine the elixirs, Sun Xinyu wouldn't mind paying the alchemist more. However, those alchemists didn't have much confidence to refine it!

Fang Jinyu didn't ask why Sun Xinyu wanted to refine the furnace of elixirs that contained some devil's energy. After all, it was best not to inquire about the main character's matters. He had specially come to find Sun Xinyu for the devil's energy.

In Sun Xinyu's Messenger Talismans, the few types of spirit herbs that were mentioned were rarely known, and they also involved the devil's energy and the Lich's energy.

Fang Jinyu hadn't wanted to refine it because it was too troublesome and a waste of his cultivation time.

Fang Jinyu was hoping to become a man who could break through the Core Formation stage before Su Yier!

However, it was just right.

Fang Jinyu could have a better understanding of the devil's energy and the Lich's energy by researching such a complex and peculiar elixir.

Fang Jinyu began to refine the elixirs.

Naturally, the elixir was completed. The moment he understood the essence of the Dream and Nightmare Elixir, Fang Jinyu also understood the reason why it was difficult to refine. It was because the devil's energy was also a type of spiritual energy!

However, such spiritual energy contained a will, as if it was alive.

When Fang Jinyu recognized this and found the right solution, he could easily refine a furnace of Dream and Nightmare Elixirs. However, if he followed the Nine Desolations' usual alchemy techniques, he would naturally fail on the verge of success.

"Surprisingly, the devil's energy contains a mysterious will?"

Fang Jinyu thought of the records about the devil's realm in the Tianling Sect's manuals and thought of the strangeness of the inner city of the City of Liches. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind—Was someone trying to resurrect in the devil's realm and the City of Liches?

Once the thought came to mind, Fang Jinyu could no longer suppress it.

"If that's the case, the Liches in the outer city of the City of Liches are still fine. The people in the devil's realm, including the few Nascent Soul stage Devil Supremes, are probably going to be in trouble…"

Wasn't absorbing the devil's energy as inner energy the same as using the devil's energy to refine one's body?

When the person in question returned, it would be as if he would eat everyone who absorbed the devil's energy in one bite. At that time, he might feel that it would be crispy and taste like chicken.

Not even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator could escape!

Fang Jinyu was once again suspicious and thought, "So, is this really a world in a novel?" Although many things matched the descriptions in the book, things that involved the Nascent Soul stage cultivators and the problem of the Foundation Establishment Fruit involved the upper realm's scheme was different from what the book had described!

Afterward, Fang Jinyu stopped thinking about it. With a wave of his hand, he threw out a Messenger Talisman to inform the extremely weak Junior Sister Sun to come and retrieve the elixir.

Sun Xinyu was so happy that she couldn't help but praise him, "Senior brother, you're a genius!"

When Fang Jinyu heard it, he felt a little strange because Xin Qianqian had often said it. He believed that he had probably been "contaminated" by her after spending so much time with her.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but miss the little girl who had given him the Blossom Dew. He didn't expect that such a well-behaved little girl was actually a "Bailan melon"?

Only the surface was white.

Fang Jinyu thought, "Sure enough. Aunt Zhang is right, the more beautiful a woman is, the more lies she can make."

"Senior brother, can you refine this Spirit Lich Elixir?" Sun Xinyu took out another prescription and asked with hope in her eyes.

Fang Jinyu accepted it and only said, "I'll try it first."

Two hours later, Fang Jinyu gave Sun Xinyu a feasible answer, and Sun Xinyu quickly handed over the spirit herbs she had prepared.

Fang Jinyu immediately began to refine the elixir.

After a short while, Fang Jinyu finished refining the elixir and let Sun Xinyu take the Spirit Lich Elixir away.

After Sun Xinyu left, Fang Jinyu looked puzzled. Although this Lich's energy didn't contain a mysterious will like the devil's energy, it had an extremely faint trace of contamination.

Humans and Liches were fine when they touched it.

However, if this trace of contamination were a hundred times stronger, humans might still be fine after touching it, but the Liches… They would be instantly contaminated.

"The deviated Lich!"

Fang Jinyu thought of the matter that had been mentioned in the secret manual.

"So, the Liches of the City of Liches and the devil cultivators of the devil's realm are just other people's meals?" Thinking of it, Fang Jinyu sucked in a breath of cold air and then exhaled.

It was because Fang Jinyu had nothing to be shocked about.

After all, it had nothing to do with him.

80 The Skyrocket Scripture

Fang Jinyu thought that he had already grasped the essence of the Lich's energy and the devil's energy, so he was ready to start refining the "General Foundation Establishment Elixir" that he had conceived. However, to his surprise, he failed.

And this time, Fang Jinyu couldn't even find the reason for his failure!

...

After a moment's thought, Fang Jinyu finally understood why the Foundation Establishment Elixir was the only elixir in the Nine Desolations that could help a Qi Condensation stage cultivator break through.

However, Fang Jinyu wasn't disheartened by his failure. Just as he was about to continue working hard, the rewards from the previous competition were given out.

The Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster would give a preach as a reward for those who performed well in the competition. Other than that, spirit tools, talismans, elixirs, and secret techniques were also given as rewards.

Naturally, Fang Jinyu attended it.

How could Fang Jinyu miss the preach from a Grandmaster who ranked 9 in the Nascent Soul stage, and also one of the top battle powers of the Nine Desolations?

One must know that in the immortal cultivation world, every stage's rank 9 had extraordinary significance. It represented the stage's perfection and wasn't as simple as increasing one's inner energy.

The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster only talked about how to cultivate in the Foundation Establishment stage, and Fang Jinyu listened attentively. However, after he finished listening, he realized that he didn't gain anything from it.

However, Fang Jinyu benefited greatly when the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster explained a few more things about breaking through the Core Formation stage, as well as the things to take note of.

Meanwhile, there was one more thing that raised Fang Jinyu's suspicion.

It was because the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster had mentioned six types of methods to break through the Core Formation stage. Three of them were high-tier techniques, while the other three were low-tier techniques.

Cultivators who used high-tier techniques could form a core that would be at least grade 5.

Cultivators who used low-tier techniques could form a core that could only reach grade 7 at most.

However, the extraordinary book mentioned that cultivators who used high-tier techniques could form a core that would be at least grade 3, while cultivators who used low-tier techniques could form a core that could only reach grade 4 at most.

"It differs from the book again…"

When comparing the two, Fang Jinyu undoubtedly trusted the Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster more.

After all, although it was considered a secret technique of the immortal sects, it was similar among the immortal sects. The biggest difference was that the small immortal sects only had low-tier techniques to break through the Core Formation stage.

Thus, it was easy to identify them.

Then, Fang Jinyu went to collect a secret technique.

The name of the secret technique was the "skyrocket scripture" and its effects were very simple. It could increase one's speed by a hundred times! However, it was extremely difficult to cultivate. Out of 10000 cultivators who cultivated it, not even one could master it.

Fang Jinyu had thought of cultivating the skyrocket scripture before. After all, he didn't have to rely on the stargazing flying ship to travel when he mastered such a secret technique.

However, if one wanted to obtain such a mysterious secret technique, one had to make a great contribution to the Tianling Sect or be rewarded by the sect. There was no other way to obtain it.

Therefore, Fang Jinyu had no choice but to give up.

Now that there was an opportunity, Fang Jinyu naturally couldn't let it go!

After everyone received their rewards, they all left. As for the Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster, he had long disappeared without a trace.

Switching between virtual and reality, gathering and dispersing at will!

However, soon, Fang Jinyu didn't expect to be assigned a mission by the sect leader.

The sect leader asked Fang Jinyu to go to the Utopia Immortal City to purchase a batch of spirit herbs that are hundreds of years old!

Although the Tianling Sect could plant their own spirit herbs, they weren't professional in it.

As for the Utopia Immortal City, they were professional in this field because it had a technique that could increase the growth of spirit herbs. If a spirit herb grew in the Utopia Immortal City for 100 years, its medicinal properties could reach 500 years! However, the technique would need to "use" three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and dozens of cultivators who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage.

It was because after cultivating the technique, one's inner energy would be able to be slowly absorbed by spirit herbs.

To put it simply, it was to use the cultivator's inner energy and time to feed the spirit herbs.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but ask the Tianling Sect Leader, "Sect leader, how about the other alchemists in the sect if I go…"

The most important thing for the person in charge of purchasing spirit herbs was undoubtedly having a professional knowledge.

In this aspect, who could have more professional knowledge than the sect's alchemists?

In addition, according to what Fang Jinyu knew, any task that involved purchasing was a wonderful one! Fang Jinyu remembered that several cultivators who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage with powerful backgrounds had fought over the right to purchase food and drinks for the new disciples of the Little Tianling Yard.

Fang Jinyu thought, "When cultivators will even fight over the right to purchase food and drinks for the new disciples of the Little Tianling Yard, will they not fight over the right to purchase spirit herbs for the entire sect?"

"There is no doubt that the benefits of purchasing spirit herbs are even greater!"

"In that case, how could such a good thing fall into the hands of an ordinary sect alchemist?"

The Tianling Sect Leader said with a smile, "Junior Brother Fang, you may not know this, but there is a Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster in charge of Utopia Immortal City."

Fang Jinyu nodded slightly.

Fang Jinyu understood the unspoken meaning of the sect leader's words. He meant that doing business with Utopia Immortal City was an equal deal.

The Tianling Sect Leader continued, "Junior Brother Fang, I'm sure you know that 500 years old spirit herbs are rare in the cultivation world."

Fang Jinyu nodded again.

The unspoken meaning of the sect leader's words was that 500 years old spirit herbs were a market where demand exceeded supply.

The Tianling Sect Leader sighed, "So, Junior Brother Fang, do you understand now?"

Fang Jinyu concluded, "There's no profit to be made, and it might cause me a lot of trouble?"

The Tianling Sect Leader nodded.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Shit!"

"No wonder the sect leader will ask me to complete the task. It turns out that the few brat alchemists in the sect are unwilling to go!"

"Then how were they assigned the task in the past?"

Fang Jinyu asked, frowning. If the others were unwilling to go, he was naturally unwilling to either. However, he changed his mind as soon as he had this thought.

Although the Tianling Sect had a lot of spirit herbs, they might not have a complete set.

Fang Jinyu could use the chance of going to the Utopia Immortal City to search for a more suitable replacement spirit herb.

The Tianling Sect Leader knew what Fang Jinyu was thinking, so he quickly said, "In the past, alchemists would take turns completing the task. Even Junior Sister Nangong was no exception."

Fang Jinyu nodded and said, "Alright then. Sect leader, I'll go this time!"

The Tianling Sect Leader smiled and said, "Great, Junior Brother Fang." He had one more thing he didn't say— "If you don't want to go, you can spend some money and ask other alchemists to do it for you."

Fang Jinyu immediately went to prepare for the trip. He had wanted to inform Xin Qianqian, but he didn't expect her to slip out of the Tianling Sect. He thought, "No wonder she didn't even attend the Grandmaster's preach."

Fang Jinyu kept the Messenger Talisman that Xin Qianqian had left behind and shook his head slightly. He then boarded the stargazing flying ship with the other Qi Condensation stage disciples.

Fang Jinyu was in charge of purchasing the spirit herbs, while the others were in charge of carrying them.

After all, the capacity of the Hundred-Treasure Box was limited.

However, Fang Jinyu was surprised to see a little girl who stood out among the accompanying disciples.

Speaking of which, apart from the time they met at the competition, they hadn't seen each other for almost three years, but she didn't grow any taller. She was still as short as before.

Fang Jinyu noticed that she had a middle-stage Qi Condensation stage aura and waved at her.

It was because Fang Jinyu knew that it was fake.

Fang Jinyu called her over because he was curious as to why she still had the elixirs he had given her.

After such a long time, logically speaking, the elixirs should have been used up long ago!

81 The Cultivation Version of "I Bet Your Gun Has No Bullets"

In response to Fang Jinyu's question, the little girl tilted her head slightly, her clear eyes widening even more. Then, she asked softly, "Are you stupid?"

Fang Jinyu didn't say a word, but reached out and mess up her hair.

...

"I mean, I can learn it myself!" To protect her hair, the little girl decisively admitted defeat.

Fang Jinyu was speechless.

Fang Jinyu thought, "I didn't expect it."

"It seems like I've started to become a little arrogant after I break through the late-stage Foundation Establishment stage. After all, this little girl has more cheats than me."

After some self-reflection, Fang Jinyu nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Qing Fu, you are really smart."

The little girl was overjoyed to receive Fang Jinyu's praise.

Qing Fu immediately waved her small hand and generously expressed, "Hehe, then I'll teach you something I've understood recently!"

Fang Jinyu's expression brightened. He didn't expect to receive such a benefit.

Fang Jinyu didn't dare to force the little girl to teach him anything. Regardless of the fact that whether she would teach him, no matter how he thought, he felt her behavior was like a precursor to the return of a mighty person…

However, if the little girl had taken the initiative to teach Fang Jinyu, then he would naturally learn it with ease.

After a while, Fang Jinyu received the "good stuff" that Qing Fu had taught him.

In fact, it was indeed a good thing.

It was a defensive secret technique. As long as one successfully cultivated it, one could let his shadow temporarily take over and avoid all fatal attacks. The shadow was shapeless and incorporeal, formed by the falling sunlight, and could be created and destroyed at will. The secret technique could be said to be an invincible one.

Most importantly, the secret technique wouldn't consume much inner energy. Even Fang Jinyu, who was ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage, could sustain it for an hour.

Fang Jinyu asked, "What's this called?"

"I guess you can't hit me."

Fang Jinyu was speechless.

Fang Jinyu felt he might as well not ask!

Fang Jinyu thought, "Why don't you just name it 'I bet your gun doesn't have any bullets'?"

Qing Fu couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly, and her delicate little face showed a little displeasure. She asked, "What's wrong? Do you think I've named it badly?"

"This name… It's good!" Fang Jinyu had no choice but to smile.

Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu thought, "It'll be better that you ask someone to help you name it next time."

"If you call it 'secret technique 1', 'secret technique 2', 'secret technique 3' and so on will be better and suits the mystical effects of the two secret techniques called 'I'm good at hiding' or 'I guess you can't hit me'."

Fang Jinyu mumbled in his heart. Then, he heard a knock on the door.

To learn the secret technique, "I guess you can't hit me," Fang Jinyu had specially brought Qing Fu to a separate guest room and even set up a restrictive enchantment around it.

A Qi Condensation stage disciple from the Tianling Sect who followed along stood outside and said, "Martial Uncle Fang, Jiuhu Sect's Alchemist Cheng is also boarding this stargazing flying ship. He would like to invite you to the front hall for a chat."

"Alright."

Fang Jinyu replied and prepared to head over.

Although Fang Jinyu had never met Alchemist Cheng before, since Alchemist Cheng was from the Jiuhu Sect, he had no reason to refuse.

When Qing Fu saw Fang Jinyu stand up, she quickly followed.

Fang Jinyu asked, "You're going too?"

"Yeah!"

"Alright then!" Fang Jinyu didn't mind. If the little girl couldn't help but interrupt, and Alchemist Cheng flew into a rage because a mere Qi Condensation stage cultivator dared to speak too much, he would step forward and speak up for justice. At that time, he might be able to learn another secret technique!

Although the names of the secret techniques were a little strange, it had to be said that each secret technique was more incredible and unpredictable than the previous one.

Even though Fang Jinyu had never really put "I'm good at hiding" into practice, he had already benefited greatly from opening up the "mystery realm" to obtain a small portable space.

Unfortunately, Alchemist Cheng was a particularly kind person and had even given the little girl a gift.

It was a short sword, a high-grade talisman tool.

Although it wouldn't benefit Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, it was a very good talisman tool for Qi Condensation stage cultivators.

Of course, the little girl would definitely not take a fancy to it.

It was because when Fang Jinyu turned his head, he saw the little girl quietly gnawing on the talisman tool as if she was eating potato chips.

After a moment of silence, Fang Jinyu pretended he had not seen anything.

"Although we've never met, I've admired Senior Brother Fang's character for a long time! In the past, Senior Brother Fang was the only one who dared to deliberately reduce the price of Foundation Establishment Elixirs for ordinary sect disciples and withstand the pressure from the immortal cultivation families!"

Alchemist Cheng praised Fang Jinyu profusely, looking like a fan of Fang Jinyu. Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu could only say, "I'm flattered."

Afterward, Fang Jinyu had a simple conversation with Alchemist Cheng and found out that Alchemist Cheng was also going to the Utopia Immortal City to purchase spirit herbs, so he decided to go with him.

As there was still a day's journey to go, the two of them parted ways and returned to their own rooms.

Qing Fu followed Fang Jinyu back.

"You want to sleep here too? Oh, the Tianling Sect has only prepared a guest room for a few Qi Condensation stage disciples. You can stay at my place for the night, I'll go out and meditate for a night." Fang Jinyu said as he took out the key to the guest room and handed it to her.

The little girl took the key and said, "Actually, I followed you here to tell you that the person you've met just now had no good intentions."

"How did you know?" Fang Jinyu asked, but he wasn't surprised at all.

After all, those who were unaccountably solicitous were either evil or thieves!

"I knew by eating the talisman tool he gave me." The little girl's answer shocked Fang Jinyu.

Fang Jinyu could not help but ask, "Is that also a secret technique?"

"You want to learn? Then, you can exchange something for it with me!" Qing Fu narrowed her large eyes.

Fang Jinyu asked, "I can give you elixirs that allow you to disguise yourself as a Core Formation stage cultivator. How is it?"

Qing Fu pouted and said, "I've already learned that."

Fang Jinyu was speechless.

Fang Jinyu thought for a moment and decided to give up on the secret technique that he was interested in. He asked, "Then, what is that Junior Brother Cheng planning?"

"He's friends with a man with the surname Qi in the Utopia Immortal City. That man knew that you injured Su Yier, so he wanted to set a trap for you to make you wish you were dead. As for the specific information about the man surnamed Qi, I don't know. The talisman tool was just refined not long ago, so it has very little knowledge!"

Qing Fu spread her small hands.

At this moment, the speechless Fang Jinyu couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Fang Jinyu thought, "Is this how will I live as cannon fodder?"

"No matter what I do, I will still be pushed to stand on the opposite side of the female lead in the end, huh? Moreover, the female lead must be on the side of justice?"

"What kind of fucking thing is this?!"

Fang Jinyu was furious. If not for the fact that Su Yier had a mysterious and powerful split soul, he would have thought of a way to deal with her first.

"The split soul in Su Yier's body is probably related to the upper realm…" Fang Jinyu speculated in his mind, and he left the room.

82 The Ceiling of Reproduction

[Today is a day of studying the "I guess you can't hit me" technique hard. However, it's a pity that you have had no gains since your aptitude is mediocre.]

[Refined understanding in "I guess you can't hit me" 1]

...

Fang Jinyu's eyes flickered as the enlightenment in his mind spread. His eyes, which had not shown any unusual signs, now flickered with a purple-gold luster.

Fang Jinyu had activated the spiritual fire in his body to cultivate the secret technique.

Who would have thought the secret technique with a name which sounded like a joke, would require spiritual fire when cultivating?

Furthermore, Fang Jinyu couldn't use ordinary spiritual fire.

Even Fang Jinyu's purple-volt spiritual fire, a top-grade spiritual fire that was ranked 7 on the Nine Desolations' spiritual fire ranking, had only just reached the threshold of being able to cultivate the secret technique!

The purple-volt spiritual fire spread out within Fang Jinyu's body, coursing through his limbs and bones. With a flash of lightning, Fang Jinyu's shadow immediately changed.

In an instant, Fang Jinyu's shadows seemed to overlap.

Although there was only one of them, there seemed to be dozens of them.

"Phew!"

Fang Jinyu heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally reached the beginner level of the secret technique.

In theory, the shadow of the "I guess you can't hit me" secret technique's beginner level could help Fang Jinyu block at most 30 fatal attacks. Fang Jinyu's current cultivation base, which was ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage, could help him maintain his shadow for an hour as long as the shadow wasn't killed. However, if it was killed, he could only "summon" 10 shadows at most, which meant that his shadows could only die in his place 10 times.

It was because Fang Jinyu didn't have enough inner energy.

The secret technique wasn't as easy to use as Fang Jinyu initially thought, but it was undeniable that it was indeed an unreasonable technique.

"So, what's the background of this little girl?"

Fang Jinyu made a few conjectures and thought of a few possibilities, but he overturned all of them due to insufficient evidence.

Then, Fang Jinyu got up and walked out of the rented immortal estate.

Right now, Fang Jinyu was already in the Utopia Immortal City.

Three days ago, the stargazing flying ship had landed in the Utopia Immortal City. However, since Fang Jinyu wanted to cultivate the "I guess you can't hit me" secret technique, he had rented a few suitable immortal estates before sending away the Qi Condensation stage disciples who had accompanied him. He asked them to have a good trip in the Utopia Immortal City since it was a rare trip for them.

The Tianling Sect's disciples were naturally overjoyed.

The Utopia Immortal City was famous for producing spirit herbs in the Nine Desolations. Other than the high-grade spirit herbs that were hundreds of years old, many of their spirit herbs were suitable for Qi Condensation stage disciples. Moreover, it was much cheaper to buy them in the Utopia Immortal City than anywhere else!

Fang Jinyu was currently in the southwest urban area of the Utopia Immortal City, where many mountain peaks were located. On these mountain peaks, there were all kinds of immortal estates of different sizes.

These immortal estates were all rented to foreign cultivators.

According to the concentration of spiritual energy in the area where the mountain peak was located, the price of renting the immortal estates would also be different.

Fang Jinyu's immortal estate was only rented for late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. Cultivators needed to pay 100 spirit stones to rent for a day.

However, in terms of the effect of cultivation, its spiritual energy was only a little stronger than the spiritual energy on Mount Xiaohe.

It was far inferior to Xin Qianqian's Blossom Yard.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but complain, "I feel like coming here is like going home…" Meanwhile, he thought, "How dare they charge 100 spirit stones a day while this place has only such a little spiritual energy?!"

However, the situation also reflected that the Tianling Sect was indeed one of the six great immortal sects in the Nine Desolations.

Among the 72 peaks, Mount Xiaohe, which was hated by everyone, and whose disciples ran away as soon as they broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, had a higher concentration of spiritual energy than most of the immortal cities.

With that, Fang Jinyu threw out a talisman.

Fang Jinyu was going to gather the accompanying disciples.

Soon, the Qi Condensation stage disciples had all returned, and Fang Jinyu saw the little girl rushed over.

In this aspect, she was well-behaved.

Fang Jinyu said, "Since everyone's here, come with me to buy some spirit herbs!"

"Yes, Martial Uncle."

Afterward, the group of people walked out of the immortal estate area and went straight to the spirit herb trading area in the Utopia Immortal City.

It was a trading street.

It directly used the city's name and called it Utopia Street.

On both sides of the street, there were all kinds of shops that were engaged in the sale of different kinds of spirit herbs. The shop signs were respectively named, "The Xu Family", "The Wei Family", and "The Qi Family."

Fang Jinyu glanced at it, and his expression changed.

It was because they were the three major cultivation families of the Utopia Immortal City—The Qi family, the Xu family, and the Wei family.

They were known as the "three great families" and controlled all the profitable businesses in the city.

However, it was actually just a way of saying it to outsiders.

According to the extraordinary book, the Xu family and the Wei family had become the Qi family's vassals. The two families' Core Formation stage cultivators were the grandsons of the Qi family's Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

The Utopia Immortal City had one Nascent Soul stage cultivator and three Core Formation stage cultivators. Although they were far inferior to the Tianling Sect, they were way better than most of the immortal sects.

In terms of seniority, the three Core Formation stage cultivators had to address the Nascent Soul stage cultivator as their grandfather.

The Nascent Soul stage cultivator had a son in his early years. Although his son didn't possess a Tianling spiritual root, he had been working hard to "fight" for the Qi family's descendants since he was fourteen years old. When he was in his seventies and had not been able to fight for anything, he had more than a hundred children, not including his daughters.

In the mythology of "The Investiture of the Gods," King Wen of Zhou relied on his foster sons to have a hundred children. However, this guy had directly created a clan by himself.

It could be said to be the ceiling of reproduction in the mortal world.

Among the Nascent Soul stage cultivator's hundred grandsons, three of them broke through the Core Formation stage one after another when they cultivated.

The three of them were of the same generation and were all Core Formation stage cultivators. Naturally, neither of them was convinced by the other.

Seeing the scene, the Nascent Soul stage cultivator couldn't be biased, so he didn't care about the matter and let the three fight.

Fang Jinyu walked at the forefront with a few Qi Condensation stage disciples following behind him. A little girl was walking in his shadow. Perhaps she had discovered that Fang Jinyu had mastered her secret technique, and her big eyes would occasionally show a crescent moon's shape.

Suddenly, Fang Jinyu heard a commotion in front of him.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu saw a group of people walking toward him. Two of them were like stars surrounding the moon, while the others were surrounding them.

The two people were a man and a woman.

The man was handsome, but his temperament was a little frivolous. Hence, it was not worth describing him.

The woman had a graceful figure and slender legs. Although her facial features were charming like a demon, she still looked as pure as a lotus when she wore the bright red dress.

It was all because of her pure and untainted temperament.

If it wasn't Su Yier, who else could it be?

Fang Jinyu raised an eyebrow and cursed his bad luck. However, at the same time, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, "She is indeed the protagonist. I'm really speechless while looking at the treatment she is receiving."

When Fang Jinyu noticed Su Yier, she also noticed him.

Thus, Su Yier walked over to Fang Jinyu.

Su Yier said, "Senior Brother Fang, are you surprised that I'm not dead?"

83 I Know How to Pretend Nice, Alright

Hearing it, Fang Jinyu's brows twitched.

It was because Fang Jinyu had read between the lines.

...

Thus, Fang Jinyu pretended to sigh and tried to make himself look more aggrieved. "Junior Sister Su, what are you saying? I'm just doing my best in the competition on Mount Shidao. Besides, I'm worried that if I don't try my best, you will think I'm looking down on you!"

Hearing that, Su Yier's beautiful face frowned.

Although Fang Jinyu's words might sound credible, her "Primordial God Lishan" told her that if he hadn't intervened that day, she would have died from a single blow from the middle-grade lightning-attribute spirit tool.

However, before Su Yier could say anything, the male cultivator who was not worth much to describe jumped forward.

"So you're Fang Jinyu!"

The male cultivator's expression was slightly cold, and his eyes were filled with unconcealed killing intent.

His name was Qi Muchen, and he had fallen in love with Su Yier with a glance when he was traveling. From that time onwards, he was deeply in love with her.

When Qi Muchen finally found out the person he admired was a female disciple of the Tianling Sect called Su Yier, he found out that she had almost been knocked unconscious by someone, and the person who had fought with her was Fang Jinyu!

It made Qi Muchen, who had long regarded Su Yier as his muse, immediately hate Fang Jinyu.

After all, in his opinion, with his status in the Qi family, it was only a matter of time before he could marry an ordinary sect disciple.

Therefore, Fang Jinyu's hit Su Yier was equivalent to looking down on him!

"Fellow Daoist, I wonder if…" Fang Jinyu pretended to be surprised and tried to control himself to maintain his image of a kind and honest man. At the same time, he also tried to avoid beating him up.

Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu was searching through his memories for anything related to this fellow.

After all, Qi Muchen was Su Yier's lackey, so no matter what, he should have appeared in the strange book.

Although Fang Jinyu couldn't recall any memories related to Qi Muchen, he did recall one of Su Yier's lackeys—Qi Mo!

Qi Mo was the youngest Core Formation stage cultivator in the Utopia Immortal City and also the youngest grandson of the Nascent Soul stage cultivator. At the same time, he was also the one with the best aptitude.

Since Qi Mo had a water-attribute Tianling spiritual root, even though he had an angular face and was full of masculinity, he still looked gentle and handsome.

Just like the "handsome young man that is unmatched in the world" Hua Wuque.

Qi Mo might not be the one with the highest cultivation base among Su Yier's lackeys, but he was definitely the man that she liked the most.

Su Yier didn't hesitate to go to the Immortal Ancient Desolate Tomb to seek medicine for Qi Mo, just to solve his innate deficiency and to prolong his life.

"Who is your fellow Daoist?! Don't make people think that we are close!"

Meanwhile, Qi Muchen chided, "What makes you think you can call me your fellow Daoist? Who do you think you are?!"

Fang Jinyu cursed in his heart, "I'm just being polite to you, but you're acting in such a fucking bastard way!"

Fang Jinyu raised his eyebrows. He had always been a tolerant person, but he wasn't the type of person who would allow people to humiliate him. Furthermore, a mere Qi clan disciple wasn't worth his tolerance.

"I'm an alchemist of the Tianling Sect. What's your identity?" When Fang Jinyu spoke, he immediately exerted his aura as a cultivator who ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Heavy pressure was concentrated on Qi Muchen, causing his face to turn pale. Meanwhile, he took a few steps back and fell on his butt.

Qi Muchen was only a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

With Fang Jinyu's level of understanding of the Foundation Establishment stage, he could tell at a glance that Qi Muchen had relied on elixirs to break through. He had consumed all kinds of inner energy-enhancing elixirs and bottleneck-breaking elixirs. He might consume ten times, twenty times, or even a hundred times of amount more than others to forcibly break through to the middle-stage Foundation Establishment.

It was no different from pulling up seedlings to help them grow.

If Qi Muchen didn't have a great opportunity to sort out his cultivation problems, he would never be able to break through rank 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

"You …"

Qi Muchen's expression changed drastically. He had only heard that Fang Jinyu was an alchemist who had only started refining elixirs in the past few years. He didn't expect him to have a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation base!

Wasn't Fang Jinyu only broken through the Foundation Establishment stage a few years ago?

Qi Muchen found the situation hard to believe. After all, he had been stuck in the middle-stage Foundation Establishment for many years. He was almost despairing at his bottleneck.

However, someone suddenly said, "Although you're an alchemist of the Tianling Sect, you shouldn't bully others. After all, you're now in the Utopia Immortal City." His words instantly dissipate Fang Jinyu's oppressive aura.

The person's voice was gentle, and one could tell that it was a man.

Such a casual approach made Fang Jinyu think of a possibility-Core Formation stage cultivator!

Thus, Fang Jinyu decided to follow his heart.

"Senior, you're right."

Fang Jinyu cupped his fists and looked as if he were sincerely accepting the lesson. He said, "I was too angry."

The man continued to say gently, "Alright. I believe you're here to purchase spirit herbs. You should go to the Lingyun Pavillion now. You can get a 30% discount on your purchase of spirit herbs."

First, the man intimidated Fang Jinyu, and then he generously gave him some benefits. His actions not only preserved the Qi family's good name but also avoided the displeasure of the Tianling Sect. It made Fang Jinyu instantly confirm his identity.

He was Qi Mo!

It was because the Qi family's shop sign was hanging on the Lingyun Pavilion, and the Core Formation stage cultivator that was guarding the Qi family was Su Yier's favorite lackey.

However, before Fang Jinyu could respond, Su Yier stood up and said, "Senior, you don't have to give him the 30% discount. In this matter, Senior Brother Fang was at fault in the first place. He shouldn't have hurt Senior Brother Qi."

Fang Jinyu was speechless.

Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu couldn't help but curse in his heart, "FUCK YOU!"

Fang Jinyu's ancestor almost went berserk because of it while scolding, "Who do you think you are? Why are you intervening in the matter?"

Fang Jinyu didn't intend to pocket the spirit stones that he had saved from the 30% discount. Instead, he wanted to use the opportunity to buy some spirit herbs that he needed. Although he was already extremely rich, who would want to spend more if he could spend fewer spirit stones?

Moreover, the spirit herbs that Fang Jinyu needed to buy weren't cheap.

"Oh?"

The man with a gentle voice couldn't help but reveal a surprised look. However, he immediately said, "Since junior sister says so, then we'll do as you say!"

Although Qi Mo was the current head of the Qi family and had the greatest authority to make decisions, his subordinates would still object to a 30% discount.

They would save as much as they could!

"Senior brother, thank you for your magnanimity!" When Su Yier heard Qi Mo address her as his junior sister, she followed suit and addressed her as her senior brother.

Fang Jinyu's face was expressionless, but he was already cursing in his heart.

"You guys just talked for a while, but now I'm the one to blame?!"

"Alright, everyone will think my actions are quite sinful at first glance, right? After all, I first ridiculed him, and then I suppressed him with my aura… I acted like a villain!"

"However…"

"FUCK!"

It was just that the book didn't mention who Su Yier's parents were. Otherwise, Fang Jinyu would have gone to meet her parents and talked about Su Yier's attitude problem.

After all, since Su Yier was protected by the upper realm split soul, Fang Jinyu was truly helpless against her.

84 Heaven Is Jealous of Heroic Genius

Fang Jinyu turned around and left. The adulterous couple had set the tone of the matter in a few words. Since he wasn't a stubborn person, he naturally wouldn't waste any more time.

However, Qi Mo would never be able to extend his life again.

...

Since the heavens had given Qi Mo handsome looks and unparalleled talent, it was normal for him to have a shorter life.

After all, as the saying goes, heaven is jealous of heroic genius.

Furthermore, it wasn't only Qi Mo's lifespan that was short. In the entire Qi family, as long as one was the direct descendant or the descendant of the powerful branch of the Qi family, none of them lived till they were old. However, their situation wasn't as outrageous as Qi Mo's.

The 500-year lifespan of a Core Formation stage cultivator was reduced by 90% when it was Qi Mo.

The others had only lost 70%-80% of their lifespans.

The Tianling Sect's disciples that accompanied Fang Jinyu immediately followed him. Since they were chosen to do the job, these Qi Condensation stage disciples were all smart.

It was just that the little girl had run away halfway before, and these Qi Condensation stage disciples had pretended not to see it.

After all, they had long known the identity of the little girl. They suspected that she was the foster daughter of "Martial Uncle Fang." It was why she could come and follow Fang Jinyu even though she was only a middle-stage Qi Condensation cultivator.

To the sect's Foundation Establishment stage's alchemists, coming to the Utopia Immortal City to purchase spirit herbs was a waste of effort and they couldn't gain anything from it. However, it was a different story for the Qi Condensation stage cultivator.

Just the reward of this trip alone was already very attractive. Each person could get 50 spirit stones!

Moreover, every time, the alchemist in charge would reward them with some elixirs. Although it wouldn't be a lot, if everyone got a share, they would get two or three.

After a while, Fang Jinyu stepped into a shop selling spirit herbs. The name of the shop was "Yunxiao Pavillion" and the shop sign hung with the Wei family's name.

When the shopkeeper saw Fang Jinyu, he quickly stepped forward to greet him. He said, "Are you Brother Fang from the Tianling Sect?"

"It's me."

The shopkeeper said with a smile, "This way, please. The 500-year-old spirit herbs are on the second floor. Brother Fang, this time we can make an exception and give you a 30% discount on everything you buy."

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but look at the shopkeeper. He immediately knew that it was an internal conflict within the Qi family. Someone wanted to use him as an excuse to make things difficult for Qi Mo. Although he was suspected of being used as a weapon, Fang Jinyu didn't mind. He cupped his fists and said, "Thank the senior on my behalf."

When the shopkeeper heard it, he was shocked.

Fang Jinyu had only mentioned "senior" but not "Senior Wei." It was obvious that he knew who was in charge of the Wei family.

However, he didn't say much and brought Fang Jinyu to pick out the spirit herbs.

After arriving on the second floor, the shopkeeper gave an order and a pretty young girl brought out a few green Hundred-Treasure Boxes. The shopkeeper then said, "These are the spirit herbs that the Tianling Sect used to need. Brother Fang, what else would you like?"

Fang Jinyu opened the Hundred-Treasure Box one by one, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he nodded. However, when he closed the lid of the Hundred-Treasure Box, he suddenly felt strange.

It was because the spirit herbs had a slight contamination similar to the Lich's energy.

Moreover, if the contamination content in a wisp of Lich's energy was used as a standard, it would be set as a value of 1. Then, among the spirit herbs in front of Fang Jinyu, each of them had a value of 3 to 5.

However, Fang Jinyu remained silent. He only nodded and said, "All the spirit herbs that our sect leader has requested are here."

Initially, Fang Jinyu wanted to buy some of the spirit herbs he needed, but now he didn't dare to.

According to the results of his previous research, although the contamination in the Lich's energy only targeted the Liches, the contamination in these spirit herbs was only 70% similar to the contamination in the Lich's energy. In other words, the contamination in these spirit herbs had mutated. Who knew what would happen to these elixirs refined from the spirit herbs?

When the shopkeeper heard Fang Jinyu's words, he couldn't help but feel strange.

The shopkeeper felt that he had made it clear that Fang Jinyu could use the opportunity to purchase other spirit herbs that he needed. 500-year-old spirit herbs cost thousands of spirit stones. He could save a lot of spirit stones just by buying one!

However, since Fang Jinyu had taken the initiative to give up on the benefit, the shopkeeper would naturally not object.

Hence, he sent Fang Jinyu out the door.

After Fang Jinyu's group left, the shopkeeper quickly went to meet someone.

It was a middle-aged man, and one could tell he was handsome while he was young by looking at his features. Since he had been in a high position for a long time, he looked dignified without being angry. Even though he had restrained his Core Formation stage aura, the shopkeeper of the Yunxiao Pavillion was still trembling with fear when he came in front of the person.

"Master Qi, Cultivator Fang from the Tianling Sect has left. However, he only bought the spirit herbs that the Tianling Sect needed. I have already mentioned…"

The middle-aged man in the Core Formation stage couldn't help but laugh when he heard him. He said, "Fang Jinyu is just as the rumors say—a kind and honest man. Alright, since Fang Jinyu has left, we should go and meet my good brother. Qi Muchen has offended the Tianling Sect's alchemist. What had Qi Mo do as the head of the Qi family's direct descendant?"

Hearing it, the shopkeeper didn't dare to respond.

After all, it was a fight between the Qi brothers. As an outsider with the surname Wei, he shouldn't get involved.

…

On the other side, Fang Jinyu left the Yunxiao Pavillion and went outside of Utopia Street.

Nearby streets lacked shops in some places, but stalls were commonplace.

These were all rogue cultivators who had set up their stalls.

Even though the Qi family, the Wei family, and the Xu family controlled most of the beneficial businesses in the city, they also left some businesses for the rogue cultivators.

Fang Jinyu pretended to pass by, but he was observing the spirit herbs.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu found that the stalls' older spirit herbs would all contain that kind of contamination. As for the unpolluted ones, they were all wild spirit herbs of extremely young age.

Fang Jinyu immediately understood the situation.

It was the result of "forced ripening"!

There was a problem with the method of ripening spirit herbs in the Utopia Immortal City!

With this in mind, Fang Jinyu wanted to find out whether the direct descendants of the Xu and Wei families had shorter lifespans than those of the same rank.

It was because the book only mentioned Qi Mo and the Qi family. As for the Xu family and the Wei family, the two cultivation families that played small roles, the book just mentioned them within three sentences!

At this moment, a rather young but rather eye-catching spirit herb appeared in Fang Jinyu's field of vision.

"How many spirit stones do you charge for this spirit herb?"

Fang Jinyu immediately approached and asked.

On the stall, there was a black spirit herb that looked like a sword.

"8000 spirit stones." The stall owner was an old man, and he didn't even raise his head when he heard Fang Jinyu's question.

"Alright!"

Fang Jinyu agreed without hesitation. He took out the spirit stones and completed the transaction with the old man.

The old man took the spirit stones and smiled. He said, "Fellow Daoist, you know your stuff."

Fang Jinyu chuckled.

The spirit herb was called "Sword Will Grass," and it could be used to make the Sword Spirit Elixir. If the person who took the elixir was ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage, he could become a sword cultivator in one go. If one didn't perfectly cultivate the Foundation Establishment stage, they could become a pseudo-sword cultivator and cultivate a sword-attribute great divine power.

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Fang Jinyu's good mood and said, "I'll pay double the price. Give me this spirit herb!"

85 The Confrontation in Acting Skills

When Fang Jinyu heard it, he showed a dangerous gaze.

It was because it was Su Yier.

...

Such a coincidental encounter made Fang Jinyu feel like Su Yier was haunting him like a ghost. However, when he looked over, he realized that she was looking at him in the same way.

It made Fang Jinyu raise his eyebrow.

However, Fang Jinyu immediately suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a wry smile, "Junior Sister Su, you're too late. This spirit herb is already mine."

"That's right, this spirit herb already belonged to this fellow Daoist."

The old man nodded his head, indicating that he didn't want Su Yier's double price.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but glance at the old man.

Su Yier said persistently, "Then I'll pay triple the price!"

The old man shook his head again.

"Although I'm tempted by the price you gave, I'm a man of my word. Since the deal is done, I can't go back on my word."

Su Yier continued to bid, but Qi Muchen, who was standing beside her, stopped her. He walked out, glanced at the old man, and said indifferently, "You should know who am I. Take back the spirit herb and sell it to her at its original price. Otherwise, you can't stay in the Utopia Immortal City anymore!"

Fang Jinyu didn't expect Su Yier's lackey to come along. Therefore, he was going to say something to let them know that he was the owner of the Sword Will Grass!

However, the old man suddenly laughed.

Qi Muchen looked unfriendly and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

The old man said calmly, "I've broken through the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of thirty-two. I once lent a large number of spirit stones from your Qi family to buy a Foundation Establishment Elixir. Afterward, I worked for your family for more than 10 years before I finally got my freedom. However, I was caught feeding the spirit herbs because I offended your family. I was supposed to live another 100 years. As a result, I only have two or three years' lifespan left." It was as if the old man was narrating someone else's experience.

After the old man finished his words, the other cultivators immediately changed their expressions.

They weren't feared.

Instead, they understood the meaning behind the old man's words and empathized with what the old man had experienced.

The Utopia Immortal City was famous for nurturing spirit herbs.

However, outsiders had no idea that those spirit herbs were fed with the lives of ordinary cultivators. Cultivators who were forced to cultivate that kind of spell, even if they switched to cultivate another spell afterward, were almost half-crippled!

It was especially so in terms of lifespan. Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could live up to 200 years, but those who were forced to cultivate that kind of spell would usually find it difficult to live past a hundred years.

Even if they had no illness or didn't encounter any disaster!

Therefore, the "debt cultivators" that were used to feed the spirit herbs had long run out.

The so-called "debt cultivators" were cultivators who borrowed spirit stones from the Utopia Immortal City to buy Foundation Establishment Elixir to break through the Foundation Establishment stage.

They didn't know what the "debt cultivators" in the other immortal cities were for, but in the Utopia Immortal City, if they failed to break through, they would all end up being used to feed spirit herbs.

Initially, although the "debt cultivators" had short lives, they could still live for more than 10 years.

After working for the city for most of their life, they could get a year or two of freedom when their bodies were exhausted.

However, the Utopia Immortal City only cared for the recent benefits and gave up on planning their future in recent years, causing more than half of the "debt cultivators" to die in a short time. Therefore, the "sinful cultivators" appeared.

Unless the rogue cultivators in the Utopia Immortal City were good-looking and were willing to submit themselves to the three families, had basically all been captured to feed spirit herbs.

"Oh! So, you're a sinful cultivator!" However, Qi Muchen, who was used to being high and mighty, naturally couldn't understand the situation. Instead, he even showed a sarcastic expression.

The old man sneered, "You're right. I'm a sinful cultivator, so do you think I'd care whether I offend a piece of trash with the surname Qi?"

They all knew who Qi Muchen was.

If Qi Muchen lived in the mortal world, he would be a good-for-nothing person.

If Qi Muchen didn't come from the Qi family and was a direct descendant of the Qi family, he couldn't even break through the middle-stage Qi Condensation, not to mention the middle-stage Foundation Establishment.

"You…"

Qi Muchen flew into a rage out of humiliation. At the same time, murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Qi Muchen thought, "How dare a lowly, sinful cultivator humiliate me?!"

However, at this moment, Su Yier said, "Senior, I need this Sword Will Grass very much. It can help one of my junior brothers recover. Can you sell it to me?"

"Please don't address me as your senior. I'm only an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator but you're a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator! I don't deserve to be addressed as someone's senior!" The old man shook his head and then closed his stall. He said, "Besides, there's no point for you to ask me. I've already sold the Sword Will Grass."

As the old man spoke, he couldn't help but look at Su Yier strangely.

He thought, "I've already sold it, but why is she still asking me to sell it to her?"

"Does she want me to get it back from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

Fang Jinyu was overjoyed. If not for the lack of timing, he would have dragged the old man out to have a few drinks.

"Senior Brother Fang…"

Su Yier could only look at Fang Jinyu.

"No way." Fang Jinyu didn't wait for her to finish her words and immediately rejected her.

Although the Sword Will Grass wasn't much used to Fang Jinyu, he was unwilling to benefit Su Yier's lackey.

After all, Fang Jinyu didn't lack a few thousand spirit stones.

Su Yier suddenly said, "Senior Brother Fang, you're not willing to give me the Sword Will Grass. Is it because you're still brooding over the previous matter?"

Fang Jinyu immediately replied, "Junior Sister Su, you're forcing me so much just for a blade of Sword Will Grass that you don't need. Could it be that you've been holding a grudge against me for what happened before, so you're looking for an excuse to attack me?"

Su Yier couldn't help but be startled when she heard it.

It was because Su Yier felt Fang Jinyu's words were familiar.

Su Yier took a deep breath, and upon realizing that Fang Jinyu was a tough nut to crack, she immediately revealed his cultivation base. She said, "Senior Brother Fang, what are you saying? You're a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

Although Su Yier was confident that she could defeat a cultivator who ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage and even kill him, she couldn't say it.

"Junior Sister Su, you must be joking. Do you forget that you have a magic treasure? However, I don't have one. The only thing I have is a high-grade spirit tool. How can I defeat you? I was lucky enough to win last time because you were careless." Fang Jinyu feigned a look of fear.

Meanwhile, the cultivators around them looked at Su Yier in a different light after listening to Fang Jinyu's words.

Even Qi Muchen was the same.

Qi Muchen was shocked and asked, "Junior Sister Su, do you have a magic treasure?!"

After all, magic treasures were born from heaven and earth. Although there were magic treasures that were artificially refined, they were all, without exception, half-formed magic treasures from their predecessors!

The Qi family had one Nascent Soul stage cultivator and three Core Formation stage cultivators. However, only the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster and his uncle Qi Mo had magic treasures.

The other two Core Formation stage cultivators were still using superior-grade spirit tools.

Su Yier looked at Fang Jinyu with a dangerous gaze. How could she not know that he was doing it on purpose?!

86 You Can Consider It as Retribution

As the saying goes, an ordinary man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure.

It was also why when Fang Jinyu obtained two magic treasures in the Lingdu Secret Realm, the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster immediately summoned him to Mount Guiwang, and helped him to close the Discipline Pearl that had been activated at that time. He also removed the images recorded by the Discipline Pearl.

...

The three magic treasures in the Lingdu Secret Realm were the opportunities that the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster deliberately left for the Qi Condensation stage disciples. Hence, he wouldn't care about it.

However, it would be a different story to the other Core Formation stage and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators!

The human heart was unfathomable.

Even though the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster's cultivation base was high and he was one of the strongest cultivators in the Nine Desolations, he was helpless against the changes in one's character.

Otherwise, the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster wouldn't have to suppress the aristocratic cultivation families and support the ordinary disciples.

It was because many ordinary sect disciples would often develop into new aristocratic cultivation families after they had achieved success in their cultivation.

At this moment, Su Yier suddenly turned around and left without saying a word.

Fang Jinyu watched her leave, then prepared to return.

Initially, Fang Jinyu wanted to find out more about the secret of nurturing spirit herbs in the Utopia Immortal City. However, he wasn't in the mood to stay here any longer. After all, he was going against Su Yier so brazenly. His image as a villain had been completely sealed. No matter how well he disguised himself, it would be the same. After all, she wasn't as pure as her little white lotus appearance.

Coincidentally, in the Utopia Immortal City, there was a Core Formation stage cultivator who was Su Yier's favorite lackey!

Although he hadn't become Su Yier's lackey, as long as he wasn't a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, there was a high chance that things would proceed exactly as described in the book.

Fang Jinyu boarded the stargazing flying ship and left the Utopia Immortal City.

The Qi Condensation stage disciples who had been accompanying Fang Jinyu naturally followed along. Therefore, the little girl who had run off to God knows where was also in Fang Jinyu's room.

[Today is a day of showing off acting skills and studying the special spirit herbs in the Utopia Immortal City. Moreover, you've gained a little.]

[Refined the truth of Utopia Immortal City's special spirit herb 1]

This time, there was no flood of information in Fang Jinyu's mind, because the truth was extremely short and could be understood with a glance. Once cultivators cultivated the special cultivation technique, it would start to drain their vitality.

Since the spirit herbs had obtained the nourishment of vitality, their medicinal effects would naturally skyrocket. They could reach the level of a 500-year-old spirit herb while they had only grown for 100 years!

However, although the special spirit herbs had achieved their medicinal effect and seemed to be full of spirituality… However, since the special spirit herbs had been absorbing the cultivator's vitality for a long time, even if they were refined into elixirs, they could still steal other people's vitality!

If one only consumed a few elixirs, they would only lose a few years, a few months, or even a few days of vitality. Naturally, it would be impossible to tell.

After all, it was normal for cultivators to get injured in a fight or suffer a loss of lifespan due to improper cultivation.

However, if one started to consume many of those elixirs at a young age, it would naturally take away more vitality!

"No wonder Qi Mo's lifespan is less than 60 years despite being a Core Formation stage cultivator."

After knowing the truth about the special spirit herbs, Fang Jinyu could only think of a word in his heart regarding Qi Mo's situation—Retribution.

Or it could be said that Qi Mo deserved it.

"You've been looking at these spirit herbs for half a day, did you discover anything?" A small face suddenly appeared in front of Fang Jinyu, and because of the speed, their noses collided.

Fang Jinyu, who was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and had an extraordinary physique, was convulsing in pain.

On the contrary, Qing Fu was completely fine.

"Your physique… Did Ximen Jianyi really hit you back then?" Fang Jinyu covered his nose and hesitated to speak. He thought it hurt worse than getting clawed by a late-stage Foundation Establishment spirit beast.

"What?" Qing Fu blinked her eyes, her small face looking a little confused.

"I mean, how come you're so strong?" Fang Jinyu tried his best to make it sound simple because it wasn't only a powerful blow but also an attack on his divine sense.

Otherwise, Fang Jinyu, who had once endured the pain of refining his spiritual fire, wouldn't be so overwhelmed.

"I don't know either. I just suddenly became stronger, and then I took the opportunity to understand a few good things!" As Qing Fu spoke, she raised her small chin high.

Obviously, Qing Fu was hoping for Fang Jinyu to praise her.

Thus, Fang Jinyu did as she wished.

"You're amazing!"

Fang Jinyu's praise was perfunctory, but the little girl enjoyed it. She waved her hand and said generously, "Then I'll teach you something good that I've understood."

"Could it be the method you used to obtain information by eating the talisman tool?" Fang Jinyu's spirits lifted as he asked.

Fang Jinyu didn't lack offensive or defensive techniques. Although he hadn't successfully cultivated a technique of travel, he already had one.

Other than that, Fang Jinyu also had a wondrous technique like the fortune-telling technique!

The only thing Fang Jinyu lacked was this kind of detection technique.

"That won't do…" It was rare for the little girl to hesitate. Although she didn't know how amazing her secret techniques were, a voice in her heart told her that they were extremely precious. They were far beyond "I'm good at hiding," opening up a "mystery realm," or "I guess you can't hit me."

Hence, after tilting her head and pondering for a while, the little girl frowned and said hesitatingly, "If you want to learn, you have to tell me if you discovered any secrets when you looked at those spirit herbs!"

Qing Fu was curious since she had been watching Fang Jinyu intently. However, she couldn't discover anything when she tried to look at it!

It made Qing Fu want to know what Fang Jinyu had discovered.

"Alright! It's a deal!"

Fang Jinyu naturally agreed, but he was afraid that the little girl would go back on her words. Hence, he quickly told her the secret of the special spirit herbs.

"The spirit-vitality devour technique?"

The little girl blurted it out subconsciously.

The little girl blinked in confusion and asked Fang Jinyu, "What's the spirit-vitality devour technique?"

Fang Jinyu pointed at himself and asked, "Do you think I know?"

It was the first time Fang Jinyu had heard of such a thing!

Moreover, Fang Jinyu had just heard it a second ago.

"Oh! Then listen carefully…" The little girl began to teach Fang Jinyu how to cultivate the secret technique that allowed him to obtain information by eating something.

There wasn't much to say, so Qing Fu quickly finished. Fang Jinyu's expression became extremely interesting.

It was because, as soon as the little girl finished speaking, Fang Jinyu's fortune-telling technique reacted.

The reaction speed was a factor of five.

Fang Jinyu didn't dare use his luck to figure out the origins of the secret technique. He tried to figure it out on his own and found that it could be divided into two parts.

The first part was to merge weapons into his body.

The second part was to spy on luck.

There was also a threshold to cultivate the secret technique, which was that cultivators must at least rank 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

"How is it? Don't you feel that it's very powerful? That's why I call it—I eat a lot, but I'm super strong!"

"It's a good name!" Fang Jinyu said it while going against his conscience.

87 A Free Daughter?

Unlike Fang Jinyu, who had successfully left the Utopia Immortal City, someone stopped her just as she was about to leave.

The unlucky person was naturally Su Yier.

...

The person who stopped Su Yier was Qi Muchen.

"Junior Sister Su, don't worry. I'll make sure you're safe as long as you stay." Qi Muchen couldn't hide his excitement as he spoke. The elders in his family had promised that as long as he kept Su Yier in the Utopia Immortal City, they would make her marry him!

"Senior Brother Qi, please step aside. I have something important to do, so I must leave immediately." Su Yier's gaze turned cold, but she still spoke gently.

"No!"

Qi Muchen refused Su Yier without hesitation because he had to accomplish his third uncle's order.

He was also one of the three Core Formation stage cultivators in the Utopia Immortal City!

"Then, Senior Brother Qi, I'm sorry!" As soon as Su Yier finished her words, Qi Muchen was sent flying backward, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Nobody saw what had she done.

Afterward, Su Yier headed straight for the place where the stargazing flying ship was docked.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in her heart. Therefore, she didn't hesitate and abandoned the convenient and safe stargazing flying ship. Instead, she directly flew out of the city on her spirit tool.

"Hurry up and catch up with her!"

It was only then that Qi Muchen's subordinates reacted.

It could only be said that an incompetent dandy like Qi Muchen would only have a group of useless subordinates.

However, Su Yier's escape technique was extraordinary. With just a single thought, she had already appeared a few thousand feet away. Such a speed was already comparable to the speed of a low-tier stargazing flying ship.

However, it wasn't Su Yier's limit. She increased her speed a few more times, and the speed of her escape technique exceeded the flying speed of a Core Formation stage cultivator.

Even though three-quarters of her luck had been taken away, Su Yier's great divine powers were still extremely shocking!

However, Su Yier suddenly stopped.

Su Yier looked at an empty place and said, "Since senior has come, why are you hiding?"

"Little girl, you're indeed amazing. It seems that in addition to the magic treasure mentioned by your fellow disciple, you have other fortuitous encounters!" Su Yier heard a slightly hoarse voice, and then a middle-aged man appeared.

There was an embryonic form of a magic domain around the man. Spiritual energy automatically gathered towards him, and behind him, there was a strange phenomenon of mountains of daggers and seas of fire.

He was a Core Formation stage cultivator!

The man said coldly, "You won't be able to escape. The difference in strength between a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator and a Core Formation stage cultivator is too great. Hand over your magic treasure and marry my nephew. I'll spare your life and provide you with the resources to break through the late-stage Foundation Establishment. My nephew is indeed a little uneducated, but he is completely infatuated with you."

Su Yier took a deep breath and said calmly, "Primordial God, please attack!"

In an instant, layers of smoke and clouds turned into a light screen, enveloping Su Yier. The illusionary image of half a finger also appeared behind her.

The fingers were like the fingers of an immortal.

At this moment, the great Core Formation stage cultivator immediately changed his expression. He no longer had the arrogance of having control of the situation.

Afterward, the Core Formation stage cultivator died.

The half a finger shadow didn't land on his body, but his body was already torn into pieces as if he had suffered a heavy blow. Even his core was crushed by the blow.

It could be said that his body and soul were destructed because there was no possibility of possession.

As soon as the great Core Formation stage cultivator died, a huge wave of energy exploded in the Utopia Immortal City.

All the cultivators in the Utopia Immortal City knelt on the ground in fear under the majestic pressure that was like waves hitting the shore. An indescribable and terrifying divine sense spread out, and in just a breath's time, it locked onto Su Yier, who was dozens of miles away.

Su Yier wanted to run away, but she was stopped by the split soul on her body.

Su Yier was puzzled and asked, "Primordial God?"

The split soul responded, "You won't be able to leave."

Just when the split soul finished speaking, a figure materialized in front of Su Yier.

It was an old man with white hair and a white beard.

He looked at Su Yier, seemingly a little surprised. However, he quickly noticed her split soul, and his eyes revealed a look of understanding.

"Fellow Daoist, why did you kill my grandson? Forget it. No matter who's right or wrong, your split soul and your disciple will both have to stay here."

As he spoke, the old man made his move.

Afterward, the old man died.

It had only been a short while. Not only a portion of them had died, but even their incarnations in the Utopia Immortal City had also perished.

In an instant, the wood-elemental spiritual energy filled the air within a hundred miles of the Utopia Immortal City. It even formed a spiritual energy rain. No matter if it was the spirit herbs that grew in the forest or spirit fields, they were all full of vitality and had an additional 100 years of medicinal effect.

Moreover, the cultivators who cultivated here, as long as they had wood-attribute spiritual roots in their bodies, would experience a surge in their cultivation.

Those with poor aptitudes could increase their cultivation base by one rank, while those with good aptitudes could even increase their cultivation base by three or four ranks!

Most of the cultivators didn't know what was going on. Even those who had benefited from it were happy after suspecting the situation. Only the direct descendants of the three families in the Utopia Immortal City knew what had happened.

A Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster had fallen!

Furthermore, he was a Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster with a wood-elemental Tianling spiritual root.

In an instant, some were shocked, some were in disbelief, some were terrified, and some felt that a big incident was going to happen. They quickly packed up their belongings and prepared to escape.

It was because the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster of the Qi family had a wood-elemental Tianling spiritual root.

…

Fang Jinyu, of course, didn't know about the incidents that happened in the Utopia Immortal City.

Fang Jinyu was cultivating the skyrocket scripture. Previously, he didn't have the chance to do it, but now he could cultivate it with ease.

After much effort, Fang Jinyu finally learned the escape technique that could increase his speed by a hundred times.

It put him in a good mood.

Although it didn't seem like it would be useful at the moment, it was better to be safe than sorry.

At this moment, a Qi Condensation stage disciple rushed over and said, "Martial Uncle Fang, Junior Sister Qing Fu has disappeared again."

"She might have run off somewhere. Forget it. I'll go look for her!" Fang Jinyu said it casually, but he had no intention of looking for her. After all, with the little girl's current ability, she might not be able to fight with a Core Formation stage cultivator, but she would definitely be able to slip away.

However, Fang Jinyu didn't go to look for her, and the little girl came out on her own.

Qing Fu raised her little head and asked, "Do you have any elixirs? It's fine as long as it can be used by the Qi Condensation stage cultivators." She extended a hand in front of Fang Jinyu.

"I think I still have a bottle of Qi and Soul Replenish Elixirs."

Fang Jinyu found it and handed it to the little girl. He then asked curiously, "What do you want to do with the elixirs?"

"They found me and wanted me to ask you for some elixirs."

Qing Fu said, "Because they found me and wanted me to ask you for some elixirs." The "they" she was referring to were obviously the Qi Condensation stage disciples who had accompanied them.

"They ask you to come to me?"

Fang Jinyu was taken aback. It was because it sounded normal. After all, it was an unwritten practice for the alchemist in charge of the team to gift elixirs to the accompanying disciples. However, for some reason, he felt that something was wrong.

When Fang Jinyu thought about it carefully, every time the little girl disappeared or did something, there would be Qi Condensation stage disciples who would come to report to him.

With this in mind, Fang Jinyu finally realized that there was something fishy about a "middle-stage Qi Condensation cultivator" sneaking into the group of late-stage Qi Condensation disciples!

Thus, Fang Jinyu secretly followed them.

Of course, Fang Jinyu wasn't exactly doing it secretly. He was walking behind them without hiding. He didn't hide from Qing Fu. He only hid it from the perception of the accompanying disciples.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu heard one of the accompanying disciples say, "A bottle of Qi and Soul Replenish Elixir?! As expected, Martial Uncle Fang doted on you the most. I've heard that in the past, the accompanying disciples were only given some Mini Energy-Gathering Elixirs."

The little girl asked curiously, "What's the Mini Energy-Gathering Elixir?" It was because it was the first time she had heard of it.

"It can help us Qi Condensation stage cultivators recover our inner energy quickly. One elixir costs three spirit stones."

When Fang Jinyu heard the last sentence, he didn't find any problems with their conversation. It wasn't until he heard one of the Qi Condensation stage disciples say, "Junior Sister Qing Fu, can you help me ask your father when he'll be taking in a disciple?"

Hearing it, Fang Jinyu was surprised. He thought, "The little girl has a father?"

However, Fang Jinyu immediately realized that he was probably the "father" they mentioned…

88 I'm Playing Tricks With You

After a while, Fang Jinyu looked at the little girl.

The little girl looked back at Fang Jinyu.

...

They stared at each other.

After their eyes met for a moment, Fang Jinyu decided to be more direct. He asked, "How did I become your father?"

Qing Fu shook her little head.

"It's not me?" Fang Jinyu furrowed his brows in surprise. He had heard the words of the Qi Condensation stage disciples just now. Their words were clearly saying that he was her father!

Qing Fu said, "It's not just that!"

"What do you mean?" Fang Jinyu was even more confused. His eyes widened, showing a puzzled expression.

"When I went to the Little Tianling Yard, someone took out a piece of paper and forced me to write down what our relationship was. I saw that everyone else only filled in one word, so I filled in two for you!" Meanwhile, the little girl showed an expression that looked as if she was saying, "How is it? Am I kind enough?"

"What did you fill in?" Fang Jinyu suddenly had a bad feeling.

Qing Fu said while blinking her eyes, "Father and mother."

Fang Jinyu was speechless.

Fang Jinyu wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Finally, he took a deep breath and said helplessly, "I'm your father and mother, right? If that's the case, you're saying that I'm hermaphrodite?"

The little girl looked perplexed and asked, "I can't do that?"

It was just a form of address!

"Then I'm half your father and the other half your mother?" Fang Jinyu gestured to himself.

"Great!" The little girl expressed that she would readily accept Fang Jinyu's advice.

However, Fang Jinyu thought, "Great?! What is it great about?!"

Fang Jinyu rolled his eyes and was ready to explain the logic behind his words to her.

After all, the little girl wasn't simple. Everything would be fine if she was still in a daze, but what if she became angry and killed him to silence him after she recovered?

As the saying goes, you can't have the intention to harm others, but you can't be defenseless!

After much persuasion and seeing the little girl nod, Fang Jinyu finally heaved a sigh of relief. He thought, "The hidden danger was finally resolved." Meanwhile, he felt even more relieved and said, "It's good that you understand."

Afterward, Fang Jinyu chased the little girl out of the guest room and prepared to study the great divine power that he had already cultivated.

Fang Jinyu wanted to focus on studying the great divine power that he gained from his authentic spirit bloodline.

According to the level of cultivation, great divine powers and secret techniques can be classified into beginner level, minor success, phenomenal success, and perfection. It was a very simple way of classifying things.

Depending on the level of development, different great divine powers, and secret techniques might use different amounts of inner energy. They would also show different powers.

The inner energy consumption of a perfect great divine power and secret technique was one-tenth that of a beginner-level great divine power and secret technique. Its power was several times stronger than that of the beginner level!

At this moment, Fang Jinyu heard the little girl's voice from outside the door.

It was a Qi Condensation stage disciple who had come to find her.

"Junior Sister Qing Fu, why did Martial Uncle Fang suddenly drag you out? Is there something he wants to talk to you about?" The Qi Condensation stage disciple asked softly. However, since Fang Jinyu's divine sense was so strong, he could hear it clearly even if he didn't deliberately do so.

"No, he just nagged a lot." The little girl was a little annoyed.

"Oh? What did Martial Uncle Fang say? Junior Sister Qing Fu, can you tell me more?" The Qi Condensation stage disciple seemed to take Fang Jinyu's words to heart.

"He said that he's both my father and mother!"

Fang Jinyu cursed in his heart, "You fucking come over here!"

Fang Jinyu's eyes twitched as he felt his blood boil. He thought, "I've said so many things, but you only focused on this sentence?!"

If it weren't for Fang Jinyu not being confident enough to defeat Qing Fu, he might beat her up.

However, Fang Jinyu's attention was soon focused on the Qi Condensation stage disciple. He released his divine sense to see the person's appearance.

It was because he was also the person who asked Qing Fu if Fang Jinyu wanted to take in disciples.

"This Qi Condensation stage disciple seems to be called Yue Tianmen…"

Fang Jinyu recalled his memories thoroughly and found that there was nothing wrong with the Qi Condensation stage disciple named Yue Tianmen.

"Could it be that some small cultivation families want to contact me? That's why they sent this disciple to find out my preferences?" Fang Jinyu thought for a moment, then shook his head.

If it were true, they would have sent someone to get in touch with Fang Jinyu long ago.

The immortal cultivation families were very xenophobic. Unless one had broken through the Core Formation stage, they wouldn't take the initiative to come into contact with him. Even if he were a Holy Alchemist.

However, at this moment, there was a rhythmic knock on the door.

The door was then opened, and the restrictive enchantment on the door was practically non-existent. Fang Jinyu fell silent for a moment, then looked at the little girl who had just entered and asked, "Did you forget to take something?"

Qing Fu asked curiously, "Why did you focus your divine sense on that person?"

Fang Jinyu said, "I'm just curious. It's because he is acting weird."

"Is it because of this?"

Qing Fu suddenly stretched out her hand and made a grabbing motion. A wisp of light black aura that was twisting left and right appeared in her palm.

"The devil's energy?"

Although it had changed, Fang Jinyu could tell at a glance that it was a wisp of the devil's energy. It appeared this way because it had been mixed with a cultivator's inner energy.

Qing Fu mumbled, "Is this the devil's energy? If it's true, there's still a lot of it in that person's body."

Fang Jinyu's eyes widened.

"The devil's realm is invading!"

Fang Jinyu immediately realized that the invasion of the devil's realm mentioned in the book was about to happen.

It was because it was a premeditated invasion of the devil's realm.

A few Devil Supremes worked together to make a large piece of the devil's realm appear in the Nine Desolations. They even polluted a few spiritual veins in an attempt to take root in the Nine Desolations.

"According to the book's description, the invasion of the devil's realm this time ended because a Devil Supreme betrayed them. However, there seems to be a problem with the plot that involves the Nascent Soul stage cultivator. In that case, will that Devil Supreme still fall in love with Su Yier as described in the book?"

Fang Jinyu's brows furrowed slightly, and after a moment, he had an idea.

Half a day later, the stargazing flying ship finally arrived at the Tianling Sect.

The moment Fang Jinyu disembarked from the stargazing flying ship, he went straight to Mount Tianling. After handing over the spirit herbs to the sect leader, he said, "Sect leader, I have something to report to the Grandmaster."

When the sect leader heard it, his smile instantly disappeared.

After all, wouldn't it show that the sect leader was incompetent if Fang Jinyu were to report things without him?

Thus, the Tianling Sect Leader warned, "Junior Brother Fang, if there's anything you need, you can just tell me. You can't bear the responsibility of disturbing the Grandmaster."

It was exactly what Fang Jinyu wanted to hear. He nodded, cupped his fists, and said, "Sect leader, you're right. I've been negligent. Here is the situation… I found some devil's energy… That's why I suspect that the devil's realm is going to invade the Nine Desolations again."

Fang Jinyu concluded the situation.

"The devil's energy?"

The Tianling Sect Leader was shocked at first, but after hearing Fang Jinyu's story, he shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Fang, you must be overthinking the situation. However, I'll send someone to investigate that disciple named Yue Tianmen. Since you've returned from purchasing the spirit herbs, you may go and rest first!"

Fang Jinyu nodded. However, he didn't turn off the Discipline Pearl. Afterward, he returned to Mount Xiaohe and began his closed-door cultivation.

Fang Jinyu didn't refine elixirs, nor did he do anything else. He only cultivated his inner energy.

Fang Jinyu didn't have to wait for long. Soon, a talisman flew over, asking him to go to Mount Tianling. However, it wasn't the sect leader looking for him, but the Grandmaster.

89 I'm a Professional Tattletale

Fang Jinyu's eyes flickered slightly. The time he had been waiting for had finally come. It seemed that everything was as he had expected. Yue Tianmen, the Qi Condensation stage disciple, indeed had the devil's energy concealed within him. It was the devil's realm's early preparations to take root in the Nine Desolations.

It was time for the grudge of the past to come to an end!

...

It was—Ending karma!

Well, Fang Jinyu really didn't hold a grudge.

A high-grade spiritual wind-attribute spirit sword flew out of Fang Jinyu's sleeve. He stomped on the ground, and his entire body immediately rose into the air.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but feel like a sword cultivator while feeling the wind around him.

It was also the original intention of Fang Jinyu to refine the spirit sword.

Fang Jinyu thought, "Since I can cultivate, why can't I experience flying on a sword like a sword cultivator?"

However, Fang Jinyu knew very well that he wasn't a sword cultivator, so he didn't name his spirit sword.

When Fang Jinyu arrived at Mount Tianling, he found that the atmosphere was solemn.

When Fang Jinyu walked into the Sect Leader's Hall, the atmosphere became even more depressing.

Fang Jinyu looked around and realized that all the higher-ups of the Tianling Sect had arrived. Dozens of Core Formation stage cultivators and the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster were all in the hall.

The "owner" of the hall could only sit at the back.

The Tianling Sect Leader was only a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. When nothing happened, he could consider the same generation as Core Formation stage cultivators. However, if anything happened, strength would naturally be the deciding factor.

As soon as Fang Jinyu stepped into the hall, a Core Formation stage cultivator suddenly asked fiercely, "Fang Jinyu, how did you know about the devil's realm?"

Fang Jinyu looked over and saw that it was the Core Formation stage cultivator who had arrived first after he had saved Du Maner but had been chased away by another Core Formation stage cultivator on the grounds of "avoiding suspicion."

Although the other party's tone wasn't particularly harsh and didn't seem to be targeting Fang Jinyu, he still immediately took out his Discipline Pearl just in case.

"Grandmaster, Martial Uncles, when I reported the matter to the sect leader that day, he said that he would investigate it."

Many Core Formation stage cultivators had strange expressions on their faces when they saw the faint spiritual light on the Discipline Pearl. Around three Core Formation stage cultivators even covered their mouths and laughed secretly. However, the sect leader sitting at the back immediately looked pale.

As for the Core Formation stage cultivator who had questioned Fang Jinyu, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He secretly glanced at the Tianling Sect Leader and gave him a meaningful look before closing his eyes to rest.

Since the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster didn't have much to worry about, he chuckled lightly. Afterward, nobody saw what had he done but the Discipline Pearl in Fang Jinyu's hand appeared.

Afterward, an image was projected from the Discipline Pearl.

It was the scene when Fang Jinyu met the Tianling Sect Leader the other day. The voices of the two had also come from the Discipline Pearl.

It didn't end when Fang Jinyu turned to leave the Sect Leader's Hall, but the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster cut off the subsequent scenes. He then closed the Discipline Pearl and casually threw it.

The Discipline Pearl swayed and fell back into Fang Jinyu's hand.

"I admit my mistakes!" The Tianling Sect Leader knelt on the ground. He was shaking like a leaf and his face was extremely pale.

A Core Formation stage said, "Master, since Junior Brother Yan already admits his mistake, why don't you give him a chance to make amends? After all, he had delayed his cultivation to manage the sect. Otherwise, he should be preparing for breaking through the Core Formation stage by now."

It was a female cultivator.

She had a graceful figure and was dressed in a white dress. Even though she was currently masked, her pair of black eyes revealed a hint of beauty when they turned.

The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster's expression changed slightly when he heard it, and then he nodded. He said, "Nangong, since you've said so, then let's do as you say!"

The female cultivator glared at the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster and said, "Master, just call me Ah Li."

"Alright, Nangong."

The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster simply responded, and then his figure dissipated into a stream of light, disappearing without a trace. It made the female cultivator, who still wanted to speak, look angry. However, she was helpless.

Switching between virtual and physical, gathering and dispersing at one's will. It was how a Nascent Soul stage cultivator could act willfully.

Seeing the scene, Fang Jinyu couldn't help but think of something. He didn't think about the ambiguous relationship between the two. He thought, "Could the female cultivator be Nangong Li?"

If that was the case, then Fang Jinyu could confirm one thing.

It was highly likely that the timeline had been compressed with great divine power by whoever wrote the book.

It was because the book once mentioned that the only Holy Alchemist in the Tianling Sect failed to break through the Core Formation stage. She eventually became a background character for the female lead, Su Yier.

The female cultivator said, "Junior Brother Yan, you should go and investigate the matter about the devil's realm. You should also capture that disciple named Yue Tianmen first!"

The Tianling Sect Leader immediately expressed his gratitude, "Yes, I understand. Senior Sister, thank you!"

Afterward, the female cultivator turned to Fang Jinyu and said, "You've contributed by discovering the devil's realm. In this case, follow me to my place and learn from me for a while!"

"Thank you, Martial Aunt Nangong!"

Fang Jinyu also expressed his gratitude, and at the same time, his heart settled.

Since she had used it as a reward, Fang Jinyu could basically be confirmed that she was Nangong Li!

Now that the matter was over, the group of Core Formation stage cultivators who acted as "backdrops" left one after another. Even the Core Formation stage cultivator who had questioned Fang Jinyu earlier did the same.

The female cultivator walked up to Fang Jinyu. With a wave of her hand, a dense mist was produced, turning into a cloud of colorful clouds that lifted the two.

It was a different feeling from flying on a sword. Fang Jinyu felt that the clouds beneath his feet seemed empty, and he didn't feel like he was standing. It made Fang Jinyu ponder.

Flying the air!

Meanwhile, the rosy clouds descended.

Fang Jinyu looked around and saw a familiar face.

It was Li Qiankun, also called Master Qiankun.

At this moment, Li Qiankun also saw Fang Jinyu. He immediately showed a surprised and dumbfounded expression, but he didn't say much. After hiding the trace of disgust in his eyes, he bowed to the female cultivator and said, "Greetings, Master!"

The female cultivator frowned slightly when she saw Li Qiankun. She then said, "I've said it before, you and I have the same cultivation base, so you don't have to treat me as your master. Although I'm now a Core Formation stage cultivator, I only accepted you back then because of someone's connection."

She had originally given Li Qiankun a chance, but she didn't expect this fellow would only use his identity as her disciple to show off!

She had heard a lot of rumors.

Li Qiankun immediately looked extremely embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything. He could only curse in his heart, "After all, Nangong Li has already broken through the Core Formation stage, she is no longer a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator that my family can deal with."

After the female cultivator finished speaking, she ignored Li Qiankun and only let Fang Jinyu follow her.

Fang Jinyu naturally did as he was told.

He didn't want to bother with Li Qiankun either.

This peak was one of the 72 peaks of the Tianling Sect. It was called "Mount Hanwan," and the spiritual energy here was ranked in the top 10 of the 72 peaks. However, there weren't many disciples on the mountain, and they all lived at the foot of the mountain.

Therefore, the surroundings of the female cultivator's immortal estate were deserted.

90 Hard Work Brings Rewards

Although there were traces of the devil's realm, the cultivators of the Nine Desolations weren't panicking. It was because they were already used to it. Especially after they learned that the Tianling Sect Leader had personally led a team to suppress the devil's realm, they were all relieved.

It was because the Tianling Sect Leader had brought the Heaven-Earth Bell with him.

...

It was said that the Heaven-Earth Bell contained a trace of inner energy from the Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster.

Many people didn't know about the Heaven-Earth Bell, but some people still remembered that it had suppressed seven to eight Nascent Soul stage cultivators. If it wasn't for the Nascent Soul stage cultivator's ability to switch between reality and virtual, gathering and dispersing at their will, the few Nascent Soul stage cultivators would not be able to escape death in the end.

With the Heaven-Earth Bell around, even if a Devil Supreme appeared, it would have to obediently leave!

It was the power of the Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster!

At this moment, a black mist appeared out of thin air near the Utopia Immortal City. The black mist appeared to be conscious and was constantly emitting a ferocious light, but it was helplessly suppressed.

It was a part of the devil's realm.

The devil's realm retreated, however, not because someone came to suppress it for the sake of the world.

Meanwhile, two people were hiding in the black mist.

One of them was slender, with a pair of picturesque eyebrows and charming facial features that were as pure as snow.

Other than Su Yier, who else could it be?

As the first "protagonist," Su Yier's appearance was naturally unrivaled in the world, peerless, and devastatingly beautiful!

The other one was a strange man who appeared from time to time.

However, even though he was strange, the man's appearance was also rare in the world! His facial features were sharp and angular. Besides his handsome face, one could see the overbearing look in his deep eyes.

Suddenly, the man chuckled at Su Yier, "What's wrong? You're stunned because I'm more handsome than Ling Xiaojiu? Then tell me, who makes you more satisfied, me or your master?"

"You…"

Upon hearing his teasing words, Su Yier pulled her dress up and turned around to leave.

However, before Su Yier could take two steps, she was pulled into the arms of the man behind her.

The man said faintly, "Hey, don't be angry. I can't leave you right now. If I appear in the Nine Desolations now, I'll definitely die. Even an Immortal Ascension stage immortal Almighty will find it difficult to escape the heavenly tribulation of the Nine Desolations." Afterward, he pretended to be aggrieved and said, "I only revealed my strength for you!"

Hearing it, Su Yier didn't intend to leave anymore.

Su Yier snorted, "Then let go of me!"

"I was wrong, alright? Let me hug you a little longer." As the man said it, his hands began to move skillfully as if he were forming seals.

Su Yier's fair face instantly blushed.

"Don't move."

Su Yier pouted.

As Su Yier said this, she glared at him with a dazed look. With a glance, it was as if water could be seen in her eyes.

"I can't stay still. I've taken that Nascent Soul stage's life, so even if his cultivation is halved, I don't dare accept it completely. That's why I can only let you accept it. It's a pity that you haven't broken through the Nascent Soul stage. Otherwise, you could've ranked 7 in the Core Formation stage! It will save you hundreds of years from cultivating hard!"

…

On Mount Hanwan, Fang Jinyu was flipping through the prescriptions.

The female cultivator was indeed Nangong Li. She had brought Fang Jinyu to her immortal estate and given him access to a few restrictive enchantments before letting him browse through them.

Nangong Li's collection was here, and most of the elixir manuals weren't available in the Tianling Sect.

Obviously, it was the Holy Alchemist's collection.

Fang Jinyu read it seriously because he could use most of what he had learned.

In the beginning, Fang Jinyu was in a hurry to read. He had thought that Nangong Li would only let him stay here for ten days. However, when he realized that Nangong Li had started her closed-door cultivation, Fang Jinyu was no longer in a hurry. He only read one book a day, and he would flip through the books that he had read before.

[Today is a day for understanding the Feng Shui alchemy technique. However, there are no gains for today.]

[Refined understanding of the Feng Shui alchemy technique 1]

Carefully studying the information in his mind, Fang Jinyu's lips curled into a smile. He had learned another alchemy technique.

It was a special alchemy technique for refining the Core Formation stage and Nascent Soul stage elixirs!

Unlike the Foundation Establishment stage and Qi Condensation stage elixirs, refining the Core Formation stage and Nascent Soul stage elixirs were often more complicated. Some could be refined using an alchemy furnace, but some couldn't.

It was especially for the Nascent Soul stage elixirs. Sometimes, alchemists would need to use the changes of the Four Seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and the circulation pattern of the twenty-four solar terms to refine them. There were even some who needed to make use of the changes in the mountains and rivers and the changes in the sun and moon. Usually, it would take decades to refine a single elixir!

"Eh? You're reading this? You seem to have gained something, right?" At this moment, Fang Jinyu suddenly heard a cold voice.

Fang Jinyu quickly stood up and said, "Martial Aunt Nangong."

"Uh-huh."

Nangong Li nodded slightly, then walked up to Fang Jinyu and asked, "What do you think of the knowledge related to the earth vein that is mentioned in the Feng Shui alchemy technique?"

Fang Jinyu thought for a moment, and without hiding anything, he explained everything he had learned.

Although Fang Jinyu could gain a lot from obtaining talents from his system, most of the time, there was a basic rule to the gains.

Fang Jinyu's "hard work" would ultimately result in his "gains."

If Fang Jinyu studied hard and gained nothing, the system would definitely give him some gains in understanding, which would allow him to successfully cultivate to the beginner level.

However, if Fang Jinyu were to gain minor success from his hard work, then he would gain something that would instantly benefit him to reach phenomenal success!

Therefore, if Fang Jinyu wanted to upgrade his gains, he had to improve his foundation of "hard work."

Since Nangong Li was a Core Formation stage Holy Alchemist who could refine Nascent Soul stage elixirs, Fang Jinyu believed that he would definitely benefit greatly if he could receive her guidance!

At this moment, Nangong Li's eyes revealed a look of surprise.

Nangong Li had only asked casually so that she could take the opportunity to give him some advice. After all, it was inappropriate to just bring a person who contributed to discovering the devil's realm here and let him study the prescriptions alone.

Although a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator without any background wouldn't dare to complain if she did that, it was not her character!

Nangong Li suddenly asked, "Have you successfully refined a Core Formation stage elixir before?"

Fang Jinyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"I was lucky enough to succeed once."

Nangong Li immediately laughed and said, "That old man always thought that he had managed the Tianling Sect well. However, he doesn't even know that the sect has another Holy Alchemist!"

Fang Jinyu quickly pretended to hear nothing.

Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu thought, "There is something wrong with this pair of master and disciple!"

At the same time, Fang Jinyu deliberately said in a submissive tone, "But… Martial Aunt, I was just lucky that time…"

"If you succeed once, then you've more or less grasped some of the essences of the Core Formation stage elixir. After that, it's just a matter of refining it a few more times. It's just so that I have two prescriptions here, both of which are commonly used by Core Formation stage cultivators. Take them and study them. Just refine the elixir that you think you can do it. As for the spirit herbs you need, you can take five sets for each…"

As Nangong Li spoke, she suddenly felt guilty and quickly corrected her words. She said, "Ahem! Three sets! If you fail all of them, I won't be able to explain myself."

"Thank you so much, Martial Aunt!" Fang Jinyu understood what she meant. Someone must have asked the Core Formation stage Holy Alchemist Nangong Li to refine elixirs for him and given her 10 sets of spirit herbs. Seven sets of spirit herbs were enough for her to refine enough elixirs to complete her task, even if Fang Jinyu failed and wasted the three sets of spirit herbs.

In other words, the three sets of spirit herbs were all given to Fang Jinyu for practice. It didn't matter if he succeeded or not.

91 What Should I Do if My Childhood Sweetheart's Daughter Likes Me?

Fang Jinyu received six sets of spirit herbs and two bamboo slips with prescriptions recorded on them. He then went to the alchemy room that Nangong Li had arranged for him.

It was the place where Nangong Li usually refined elixirs. It had a superior-grade spiritual alchemy furnace that contained spiritual fire. Although the spiritual fire wasn't ranked in the Nine Desolations spiritual fire ranking, it wasn't bad. Moreover, there was also a large amount of spiritual spring water around. When Fang Jinyu took a closer look, he found that it was very different from the spiritual spring water that he had received in the past. It turned out that it was condensed from the essence of the spiritual spring water.

...

Fang Jinyu was slightly shocked because it couldn't be bought with spirit stones.

Otherwise, the millions of spirit stones Fang Jinyu had obtained from the Monastic Immortal City would not only be able to be exchanged for some upper-middle spiritual items.

The real treasures were all in the hands of the aristocratic cultivation families.

Nangong Li wasn't a disciple of an aristocratic cultivation family because there wasn't a family with the surname Nangong in the Tianling Sect. Therefore, the reason she could get them was more or less related to the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster.

Although Fang Jinyu's purple mystical alchemy furnace was also a superior-grade spiritual alchemy furnace, Nangong Li's contained spiritual fire while Fang Jinyu's purple mystical alchemy furnace didn't. The difference between the two could be said to be huge.

An alchemy furnace that contained spiritual fire could only be obtained by someone who had broken through the Core Formation stage or by chance.

With that, Fang Jinyu kept the two prescriptions.

Since Fang Jinyu had used up his chances of gaining from the system, he could only wait for it to refresh tomorrow. Now, he would naturally not waste such a good alchemy environment.

Fang Jinyu took out the spirit herbs that he had prepared earlier.

Fang Jinyu was going to refine the Core Spirit Elixir!

Fang Jinyu had already sorted out the necessary spirit herbs for the Core Spirit Elixir. Also, he was roughly knowledgeable of his cultivation base, which was ranked at 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Fang Jinyu opened the furnace and started a fire.

Fang Jinyu extinguished the fire when the elixir was formed.

Fang Jinyu lifted the lid of the furnace and peeked inside. He said, "Three elixirs."

Normally, there should be at least six Core Spirit Elixirs formed in one furnace. However, Fang Jinyu had expected it to happen. After all, the spirit herbs used were lack of spirituality, which made such a situation inevitable.

Therefore, Fang Jinyu began to refine the second batch.

Although Fang Jinyu could only refine a small number of elixirs in every batch, he could refine a few more furnaces!

After five consecutive furnaces, Fang Jinyu cleared all the spirit herbs he had. He had successfully refined a total of 16 Core Spirit Elixirs. It was because he had accidentally refined four elixirs in one of the batches.

It was already the second day.

Fang Jinyu adjusted his breathing, then picked up a prescription and began to study it.

…

On Mount Guiwang.

When the youth that ranked 9 in the Nascent Soul stage saw Nangong Li's figure, he immediately had a headache.

"Nangong, why are you here?"

"Master, can you call me Ah Li?" In the depths of Nangong Li's clear eyes, a sense of helplessness and frustration appeared.

"That's how I address your mother." The Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster glanced at Nangong Li, then sighed helplessly and frustratedly.

His childhood sweetheart's daughter had taken a fancy to him, which gave him a headache.

"Since you can't forget my mother, why can't you accept me?" Nangong Li walked directly to the young man and said, "You said it before. If I don't rely on your help to break through the Core Formation stage, you will marry me!"

"I said it out of anger. Why did you take it seriously…" The young man, who had dominated the Nine Desolations for hundreds of years, felt a little guilty for some reason.

"Then I'll spread this news and let the cultivators of Nine Desolations know how the Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster goes back on his words!"

"Let's talk things out. Don't be impulsive…" The young man didn't care about his reputation. After all, once the Heaven-Earth Bell, only a few Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Nine Desolations would dare to fight with him.

It was because he was already half a step out of the Nascent Soul stage!

He already could kill other Nascent Soul stage cultivators! However, he had yet to fully grasp this power, so he would have to pay a price if he wanted to kill a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

For example, if he wanted to kill a Nascent Soul stage cultivator who still had 500 years of life, he would have to sacrifice 250 years of his own life!

In other words, it's a Pyrrhic victory.

When other Nascent Soul stage cultivators were terrified when facing him, let alone cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.

However, if Nangong Li were to do so, there might be other Nascent Soul stage cultivators who wanted to take advantage of her. After all, he had cultivated for so many years and had made many enemies.

A few of them were like him, becoming a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

Although the other party's cultivation was far inferior to his, they were both middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Then tell me, why don't you want to marry me?" Nangong Li's black eyes widened as she looked at him. Her gaze was filled with confusion. Although she wasn't as beautiful as a fairy, she was still extremely beautiful. In the entire Tianling Sect, only Su Yier, who was in the Foundation Establishment stage, and Du Maner, who was in the Qi Condensation stage, could beat her in terms of appearance.

However, Nangong Li was a Core Formation stage cultivator!

Just her cultivation base alone was enough to win over the two female disciples.

The Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster said faintly, "I'm afraid of marriage…"

"What?"

"I'm serious. Why else do you think I didn't marry Ah Li?" The Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster rolled his eyes at Nangong Li. The "Ah Li" he was referring to was naturally Nangong Li's mother.

"Ah?"

Nangong Li was at a loss and a little dumbfounded.

Nangong Li thought, "Just because of this?"

"You Nascent Soul stage old man, do you know you are a little weird?"

"Are you calling me an old man in your heart again?" At this moment, the Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster had a sharp look in his eyes as he stared at Nangong Li.

"No, I didn't! How is that possible?" Nangong Li instantly felt guilty.

Afterward, Nangong Li quickly changed the topic and said, "I'm here to tell you that there's another Holy Alchemist in the sect. Although he hasn't officially become one, he has already crossed the threshold and become half of a Holy Alchemist."

The Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster was slightly shocked and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

After all, it was easy to tell if he was cultivating alchemy skills. He only needed to smell the spirit herbs on the other party's body to know, but it was impossible to tell the other party's alchemy strength with the naked eye.

"Fang Jinyu."

"It's him?" The Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster couldn't help but be surprised. He then asked, "Is his elixir-refining talent really that good?"

"I've looked up his information. He had just broken through the Foundation Establishment stage five or six years ago. I heard that he didn't rely on Foundation Establishment Elixirs and understood the key points on his own. Tell me, how can his talent be bad?" Nangong Li rolled his eyes at the Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster.

The Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster laughed and said, "No wonder the only valuable things on him are two spirit tools! Other than cultivating, this kid focuses on refining elixirs! Oh, he should also have a superior-grade spiritual alchemy furnace, but it's also from the Liudao Sect…" As for Fang Jinyu's two magic treasures, he naturally wouldn't mention them to anyone.

Although he didn't care about those two magic treasures, some Nascent Soul stage cultivators who ranked 1 or 2, believed it was worth it for them to take the risk and offend the Tianling Sect!

Nangong Li suddenly asked, "I heard that the Liudao Sect is gone. What happened?" Since she was in her closed-door cultivation to break through, she wasn't clear about the situation.

"It's a long story."

"Then, make it short."

92 Snatch His Discipline Pearl First!

"Martial Aunt, thank you for your guidance!"

Fang Jinyu thanked Nangong Li sincerely before leaving Mount Hanwan.

...

After staying in Nangong Li's immortal estate for three months, Fang Jinyu gained a lot. Not only did he obtain a few sets of spirit herbs to refine Core Formation stage elixirs, but he also learned several prescriptions for Core Formation stage elixirs. From then on, he could call himself a Holy Alchemist.

The thing that made Fang Jinyu the happiest was that Nangong Li took the initiative to tell him not to reveal his identity as a Holy Alchemist to the public. Instead, she told him to concentrate on his cultivation first and only release the news after he had broken through the Core Formation stage.

It was because Nangong Li had let people know that she had become a Holy Alchemist. Since then, people had been constantly coming to her door to ask her to refine elixirs, which had caused her to delay her cultivation.

Otherwise, Nangong Li would have broken through the Core Formation stage 30 years ago!

Apart from that, Nangong Li also gave Fang Jinyu a special talisman, which was given by the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster. With this talisman, he could exchange any spiritual item from the Tianling Sect with a 90% discount on merit points.

In other words, a spiritual item that originally required 500 merit points to exchange now only requires 50 merit points while using the talisman.

Furthermore, the talisman didn't limit the number of spiritual items he could exchange.

Fang Jinyu's thousands of merit points had given him ten times the purchasing power.

Furthermore, the talisman also gave Fang Jinyu the right to exchange for Core Formation stage spiritual items, spirit herbs over five hundred years old, Fire Spirit Pearls, Water Spirit Pearls, and other spirit pearls. Moreover, he could also exchange a catalog of the desolate forbidden land, a chance to enter some Secret Realms, critical techniques for Core Formation stage magic domain cultivation, and even a few half-nurtured magic treasures!

At this point, Fang Jinyu could only say that the Tianling Sect was indeed worthy of being one of the six great sects in the Nine Desolations.

The Tianling Sect's wealth and power were simply breathtaking.

If it were other sects, they would never take out their half-nurtured magic treasures and let disciples exchange for them with their merit points!

"500000 merit points can be exchanged for a half-formed magic treasure. Then I only need 50000 merit points to exchange it, right?"

Fang Jinyu's heart skipped a beat.

Fang Jinyu thought, "When I break through rank 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage, I will definitely work hard and make other alchemists envy me!"

When Fang Jinyu went back to Mount Xiaohe, he found his puppet was holding a few Messenger Talismans.

Fang Jinyu took a look and saw that one of them belonged to Xin Qianqian. He immediately opened it and found that Xin Qianqian had returned from her trip and left a treasure for him on the puppet.

Fang Jinyu's eyes swept over the puppet and saw a rare orange Hundred-Treasure Box.

Fang Jinyu reached out and took it down.

After opening it and taking a look, Fang Jinyu's expression changed slightly.

"The yellow mystical energy? Where did she get this superior-grade spirit item that can increase the chances of breaking through the Core Formation stage and at least forming a third-tier core?"

Without hesitation, Fang Jinyu kept it in his portable storage space.

After all, it wasn't safe to leave it outside.

Fortunately, Mount Xiaohe was a remote corner, and because of the thin spiritual energy, all the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators had left. Otherwise, it would have been discovered in the past three months.

In the past three months, while Fang Jinyu had been at Nangong Li's place, he had taken the opportunity to consult the Core Formation stage cultivators and learned that all the Core Formation stage cultivators could "see through the void"!

The Core Formation stage cultivators could pass through the restrictive enchantments of some array formations and clearly see what was inside by releasing their divine senses.

"Why did she go out again? Is she going to retrieve the opportunity left behind by her grandmother?" Fang Jinyu thought for a moment but could not understand the situation, so he decided to start his closed-door cultivation.

Just like that, spring went and autumn came, and another year was about to pass.

It was also on the first day of the snow that Fang Jinyu emerged from his closed-door cultivation. He had already ranked 8 in the Foundation Establishment stage. Although compared to a Tianling spiritual root, his dual-attribute spiritual roots were still inferior and affected his efficiency in refining elixirs. However, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort with his gains from the system that improved his talent. It made him not inferior to a cultivator with a Tianling spiritual root. Thus, he successfully broke through in less than a year.

Fang Jinyu calculated in his heart, "The next step is to break through from rank 8 to rank 9… Since it's a little difficult, it may take me three to four years…" If the biggest hurdle in the Qi Condensation stage was breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage, then there were four such hurdles in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Early to middle-stage, middle to late-stage, and then from rank 8 to rank 9.

The last one was to break through the Core Formation stage.

It could be said to be the four major stages of the Foundation Establishment stage.

If Fang Jinyu passed the major stages, it would be a wonderful life for him. However, he would be trapped to death if he failed.

"If that's the case, I can break through rank 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage in about ten years. It's much earlier than my original 30 years expectation!"

Fang Jinyu was a little excited. Hence, he picked up the Messenger Talismans he had set aside earlier and began to read them one by one.

Most of them came to him for elixir refining.

Therefore, Fang Jinyu ignored them. He was no longer lacking in spirit herbs.

Originally, Fang Jinyu had rushed to refine elixirs for others because he was short of money. He could only say that if he wanted to get rich quickly, he really couldn't be honest!

However, there was an exception to this.

It was from a Tianling Sect disciple that the former Fang Jinyu was familiar with. The other party wanted to invite Fang Jinyu to a gathering. Other than Fang Jinyu, there were a few other childhood playmates.

"I'll have to go once…" Fang Jinyu thought momentarily. He had just finished a session of closed-door cultivation and needed to relax. He wanted to take advantage of the gathering of his childhood friends to relieve the depression of his long-term closed-door cultivation.

Fang Jinyu immediately sent a Messenger Talisman back.

Fang Jinyu initially thought that it would take half a month, but he didn't expect that it would only take three days for the other party to reply and set the location. It was in the forest near the Spirit Beasts Valley of the Tianling Sect. There was a small pavilion there, a place that they often went to when they were young.

Thus, Fang Jinyu flew over on his sword.

When Fang Jinyu arrived, he recognized one person according to the memories of the former Fang Jinyu. However, he had no impression of the others except for the person. They should not be his childhood friends.

Fang Jinyu asked, "Brother Xinghe, why don't I see other people?"

The person Fang Jinyu had spoken to was called Lin Xinghe.

"Fang Jinyu? I haven't seen you for so many years, and you've changed a lot. Sigh, they are unwilling to come because they haven't broken through the Foundation Establishment stage." Lin Xinghe sighed and introduced Fang Jinyu to the others. They were all good friends Lin Xinghe had made after breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage.

When Fang Jinyu heard it, he knew what was going on. It was a "class reunion"!

However, Fang Jinyu had achieved his goal.

Since everyone was happy, the people who attended only talked about interesting things and didn't mention anything else. Occasionally, they would argue about which female cultivator was the most beautiful.

Fang Jinyu was also having a good time.

Fang Jinyu had completely recovered from the psychological gap caused by his closed-door cultivation for nearly a year.

Meanwhile, Lin Xinghe saw that there was no more wine and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Eh? I prepared ten bottles of spiritual wines, how come they are all gone? Forget it, forget it, I'll be the host this time and go buy a few more bottles."

Although Lin Xinghe was unwilling to do so, he still got up and went to buy some for the sake of his reputation.

A bottle of spiritual wine costed 200 spirit stones!

It was naturally costly for a cultivator who had just broke through the Foundation Establishment stage like Lin Xinghe.

After Lin Xinghe left, a cultivator followed and said, "Brother Lin, how can I let you pay for the spiritual wines alone? I'll buy a few bottles as well. After all, I drink the most."

After saying it, he flew towards Lin Xinghe.

At this point, the atmosphere was normal. However, the next moment, an array formation was set up and surrounded the place! The cultivators who had been smiling all turned cold.

Afterward, one of them said, "The seventh brother's Discipline Pearl has been activated the whole time. Since he has already left, we can act without any worries with him as a witness. Oh, right! Let's snatch Fang Jinyu's Discipline Pearl first! This fellow loves to use it to complain!"

93 The Three Black Spirit Pigs

From the moment the array formation rose to the moment it completely sealed off the area, it only took an instant.

It was an extremely advanced array formation spirit tool. Given that it could hide from Fang Jinyu's divine sense, it should be a superior-grade spirit tool!

...

Fang Jinyu's eyes flickered when he saw the scene.

After the cultivator finished speaking, the other cultivators made their moves.

Afterward, in just a moment, they were all lying on the ground.

Fang Jinyu's late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation base was on full display. Ever since he had stepped into the late-stage Foundation Establishment, he had begun to restrain his aura. If cultivators were of the same cultivation base as him, or if they cultivated the technique to spy on other cultivators' cultivation bases, they would be able to see through Fang Jinyu's cultivation base. However, if they had nothing, they would naturally assume he was an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The cultivators lying on the ground didn't belong to either category.

Their cultivation bases were low. Most of them ranked 2 or 3 in the Foundation Establishment stage, while one of them even ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

When they felt the power of Fang Jinyu's cultivation base, their expressions changed. One of them was so shocked that he couldn't help but shout, "You're a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator?! How is it possible?! Didn't you just break through the Foundation Establishment stage a few years ago?"

Fang Jinyu asked, "You're right. Is there a problem? Look at you guys. I believe you guys do this in private, right? The sect leader probably doesn't know anything about it. What will he do when I tell him about this?"

Fang Jinyu had no idea where these people came from. After all, there were too many disciples in the Tianling Sect. There were tens of thousands of Qi Condensation stage cultivators and nearly ten thousand Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. It would take decades to recognize all of them.

However, they had just mentioned the Discipline Pearl and addressed someone their "seventh brother," so they were most likely from the same family. Only a dozen or so families in the Tianling Sect could get their hands on special items like the Discipline Pearl with the power of their families. It was because these families all had a few Core Formation stage cultivators.

Moreover, only two families had old grudges against Fang Jinyu.

The Qin family and the Yan family.

However, Fang Jinyu could basically deny the situation was caused by the Qin family. It was because Qin Haoyue had lost his power long ago. Without Su Yier's assistance, his fellow brothers would have long since sent him to the mortal world to "peacefully" age. How could he struggle in the Qin family of the immortal cultivation world?

Therefore, the Yan family was the only one left.

After all, the sect leader with the surname Yan had been tricked by Fang Jinyu into suffering in the devil's realm.

Of course, it couldn't consider Fang Jinyu to be the one who had set him up. If the sect leader didn't ignore the news that Fang Jinyu had brought to him that day and gone to investigate the situation, he would not only avoid making mistakes but have been rewarded!

In conclusion, it was only because the words of the lowly carry little weight.

The root of Fang Jinyu's scheme was the phrase "the words of the lowly carry little weight."

After all, although Fang Jinyu was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator if he were to use the mortal world's officials to describe him, he was just the county head of a small remote county, while the other party was a member of the government!

Both of them were of the same rank, but their status… One was high in the sky while the other was low on the ground.

Meanwhile, the group was in deep fear after listening to Fang Jinyu's words. They were only shocked when they heard Fang Jinyu reveal that he was in the late-stage Foundation Establishment. However, they were all filled with fear when he said it.

Fang Jinyu had guessed correctly.

Not only was it a secret action, but it was also something that the elders in their family didn't allow.

After all, it was a delicate time, and even if they wanted to deal with Fang Jinyu, it would take them some time. Moreover, it wasn't these few fellows' places to make a move.

Someone who seemed to be the group leader asked, "What do you want?!"

Fang Jinyu smiled.

A moment later, Fang Jinyu found it hard to hide his joy after obtaining a superior-grade array formation spirit tool.

As for the few cultivators, they naturally left with pale expressions.

After all, they were no match for Fang Jinyu. Furthermore, they were forced to announce to the world that Fang Jinyu had saved them. To thank Fang Jinyu, they gave him a superior-grade spirit tool.

Meanwhile, they thought, "Who the heck says Fang Jinyu is a kind and honest man?!"

The group of disciples from the Yan family were furious.

"Third brother, you're rich now?" At this moment, Fang Jinyu heard someone chuckle.

Fang Jinyu heard the other party's address, but he couldn't sense the other party's presence. At this moment, he immediately knew who it was and turned to look. It was indeed the big black spirit pig.

It was one of the three Core Formation stage spirit beasts in charge of guarding the Tianling Sect, Dao Wusan.

"Greetings, big brother." Fang Jinyu cupped his fists. He wasn't surprised by the other party's arrival. After all, he was now near the Spirit Beasts Valley. If only a few cultivators played and ate here, they would naturally turn a blind eye. However, if someone was setting up an array formation here to fight, they had to come out and take a look.

A superior-grade spirit tool couldn't be hidden from the three Core Formation stage cultivators.

"I heard you're a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. I didn't expect you to rank 8 in the Foundation Establishment stage now." Dao Wusan was standing and wearing black robes. Not only did it look weird, but it also looked like a villain.

Fang Jinyu said, "I broke through by luck."

"There's no such thing as luck. Luck and hard work are both indispensable to cultivating such a cultivation base. Of course, if there's a great opportunity, it's a different story." Dao Wusan laughed and continued, "It's just so that you're here. Great! I don't need to look for you. I heard from the Grandmaster that you're a Holy Alchemist now?"

Fang Jinyu was speechless.

As expected of the sect's guardian spirit beast, it had a unique position in the heart of the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster. The three black spirit pigs knew about it first while the other Core Formation stage cultivators didn't know about it!

"Refine my big brother a furnace of elixirs. As for the reward… Hehe! Third brother, what do you think?" Meanwhile, a black spirit pig's trotter stretched over, and a Hundred-Treasure Box was placed on top of it.

"Third brother, the things inside are all my big brother's hard-earned capital!"

When he opened it, Fang Jinyu's expression changed.

It was because the items inside were enough for Fang Jinyu to form a third-grade core!

Moreover, half of them couldn't be exchanged in the Tianling Sect. After all, spiritual items that could increase the chances of breaking through the Core Formation stage were rarely offered to the Tianling Sect.

They would usually choose to keep it for family use.

If they couldn't use it, they would treat it as their family's heritage and treasure it.

Right now, the Tianling Sect has been able to exchange half of the spiritual items for merit points because the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster "forced" the families to offer.

The fact that the aristocratic cultivation families monopolized the resources in the cultivation world was something that even the Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster couldn't change.

"Then, thank you, big brother."

Fang Jinyu agreed immediately. After all, it was his sworn elder brother's request. Furthermore, he had to respect the Grandmaster. Since the Grandmaster had already told the three black spirit pigs of the Spirit Beasts Valley about it, the information that he had revealed was obvious.

Fang Jinyu couldn't join the aristocratic cultivation families' community because of his family background.

However, the community of the spirit beasts and spirit birds didn't care about it.

Apart from Nangong Li, the ones who were closest to the Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster should be these spirit beasts and spirit birds that ran all over the mountain.

94 It Looks Like You've Won, but You've Lost

"It turns out that the Tianling Sect's spirit beasts have the ancient authentic spirit Dangkang pig bloodline. Moreover, most of them have already awakened…"

Three days later, Fang Jinyu returned from the Spirit Beasts Valley and was still in shock.

...

Fang Jinyu stretched out his hand. Although he couldn't see any changes in his palm with his naked eye, it was only because the power of the ancient authentic spirit Dangkang pig bloodline was too weak.

However, no matter how weak the gains Fang Jinyu could obtain from the authentic spirit bloodline were, or even if he didn't have a matching authentic spirit bloodline inner energy, his physique had improved greatly.

It was especially true when it came to Fang Jinyu's strength, it had multiplied!

When Fang Jinyu was helping the three black spirit pigs in the Core Formation stage refine elixirs, he naturally studied the prescription on the first day since it was a type of elixir that he had not yet mastered. On the second day, he began refining the elixirs.

Such a kind of elixir didn't require any special refining techniques. It could be refined with a superior-grade spiritual alchemy furnace. However, the time needed to refine the elixir was long, it would take 36 hours!

However, a day only has 24 hours.

It was also on the third day that Fang Jinyu received gains on the ancient authentic spirit Dangkang pig bloodline.

Dangkang had the appearance of a pig, but it was extremely strong.

It was one of the legendary, authentic ancient spirits.

Dangkang was on par with the Kui cattle, which were accompanied by lightning every time they appeared.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but ridicule, "The mutant black pig… The Grandmaster is really good at bluffing by saying this!"

It was because the two weren't on the same level at all.

The other immortal sects wouldn't care about the mutant black pigs, but if it were a race that could awaken most of their authentic spirit bloodline… The other immortal sects might not be able to resist coming to snatch it.

Even if those who belonged to the race and had awakened their authentic spirit bloodlines didn't possess the great divine powers of the bloodline! They could only do what Fang Jinyu had done, using the power of their bloodline to strengthen their physique and strength!

It was because such a race was equivalent to at least two Nascent Soul stage cultivators!

At this point, Fang Jinyu finally understood why the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster had placed so much importance on the black spirit pigs.

"It seems that I have to go to the Spirit Beasts Valley from time to time."

Fang Jinyu thought to himself.

Fang Jinyu wasn't trying to deepen their relationship, but he wanted to see if he could create an innately great divine power that was compatible with his bloodline.

Fang Jinyu had already experienced the benefits of the ancient authentic spirit Kui cattle bloodline's great divine power.

Fang Jinyu had already cultivated the great divine power of the ancient authentic spirit Kui cattle bloodline—thunderbolt with minor success. He could summon a terrifying thunderbolt with his current cultivation base that would instantly kill a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Even if the other party ran a few miles away in an instant, he would not be able to escape.

It could be called a fatal blow!

Therefore, Fang Jinyu naturally wanted to unearth the great divine power of the ancient authentic spirit Dangkang pig bloodline.

With that, Fang Jinyu resumed his cultivation.

However, three days later, Fang Jinyu ended his closed-door cultivation and left the Tianling Sect on his sword.

Fang Jinyu didn't take the stargazing flying ship. Instead, he flew his sword and used the skyrocket scripture to increase his speed. Half a day later, he arrived in the mortal world.

The mortal world of the Nine Desolations didn't set up barriers or array formations to block cultivators.

However, cultivators would consciously avoid them.

It was because the mortal world had no spiritual energy. Once an early-stage or middle-stage Qi Condensation cultivator entered, they were still fine since their inner energy wasn't deep enough. Hence, they wouldn't be much affected.

However, if the late-stage Qi Condensation cultivator entered, those who cultivated low-grade spells would cause their cultivation base to worsen.

It would be slightly better for the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, but they could only fly on their spirit tools or use some small techniques. Once they used their great divine powers or spells, their cultivation would be greatly damaged.

Therefore, the higher the cultivation of the cultivators, the more they didn't want to come to the mortal world.

Although Fang Jinyu had a special elixir that would allow him to use his full strength in a fight, he was still unwilling to come to the mortal world.

It was because it would affect his cultivation.

However, Fang Jinyu had no choice but to come this time. Xin Qianqian suddenly sent him a special Messenger Talisman, the kind that was encrypted and emergency, telling him that there was a small secret realm here. However, she wasn't confident, so she asked him to come along.

"Senior brother, you're here?"

A lithe young lady was drying mushrooms beside a simple wooden house. When she saw Fang Jinyu from afar, she immediately waved her little hand.

Fang Jinyu consumed another "Mortal-Avoiding Elixir" to suppress the loss of inner energy when he used his secret technique. Afterward, he put away his spirit sword and slowly descended.

Fang Jinyu asked, "What are you doing?"

Fang Jinyu roughly looked around and found that poisonous mushrooms were all around.

Although they weren't small, they were just mortal items.

"The secret realm has a thunder-attribute frog. It can spit out lightning with its mouth. Although its cultivation base is low, as it is only in the Qi Condensation stage, its great divine powers are too difficult to deal with. Fortunately, my grandmother said that the thunder-attribute frog likes to eat poisonous mushrooms in spiritual items. Hence, I plan to dry these poisonous mushrooms and stuff a few spirit stones in them to pretend they are spiritual items to lure it away." Xin Qianqian told Fang Jinyu about her "counterfeit plan."

Fang Jinyu didn't know how to tease Xin Qianqian, so he said, "Since it can force you back when it's only in the Qi Condensation stage, the thunder-attribute frog must have awakened its authentic spirit bloodline. You can't use these mortal poisonous mushrooms to fool it."

As he spoke, Fang Jinyu took out a Hundred-Treasure Box.

"Here are some extremely poisonous spiritual items. I remember there are two poisonous mushrooms."

Xin Qianqian was very surprised and asked, "Senior brother, when do you have such a wondrous item? However, what was the method you used to take out that thing?"

Fang Jinyu did not hide anything and answered, "It's a method to open up a portable storage space."

"What secret technique is this?"

Fang Jinyu leaned in close to Xin Qianqian's ear and told her the method to open up the "mystery realm." After he finished, he realized that she probably didn't listen.

It was because Xin Qianqian's face was slightly red.

"Senior brother, why are you talking in my ear? Hmph! You can just say it if you miss me…"

Fang Jinyu was just about to explain when Xin Qianqian dragged him into the wooden house.

Ten hours later, Xin Qianqian walked out of the wooden house feeling refreshed. Her beautiful face was even more radiant and alluring at this moment, much more so than the peach blossoms in March.

Xin Qianqian urged, "Senior brother, hurry up and come out. The secret realm has already been open for several hours. If you delay any longer, we'll have to wait here for a few months."

Fang Jinyu walked out with a hand on his waist and an expressionless face.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but say, "Aren't you embarrassed when saying it?" He wanted to go to the secret realm after learning that it had a time limit, but a particular woman kept telling him that she wanted to stay a little longer.

The woman who had been mocked by Fang Jinyu appeared unaware of him and kept yanking him away.

The secret realm was not far away, and the entrance was a very narrow cave. Xin Qianqian only needed to turn sideways to enter, but Fang Jinyu could only enter while excavating.

Although Fang Jinyu wasn't a burly man with bulging muscles, he was still a tall man.

"Gee! Senior brother, you're so slow! Look at how fast I'm moving! I'm here in an instant!" Xin Qianqian was feeling smug. She was taking the opportunity to "take revenge" on Fang Jinyu for his previous mocking.

Hearing it, Fang Jinyu sneered and thought, "Some people look like they've won, but in reality, they've lost."

95 Senior Brother, Save Me!

Six hours later, Xin Qianqian still had no intention of responding to Fang Jinyu.

That's right, it was because of what Fang Jinyu had said earlier.

...

However, Fang Jinyu didn't care. His mind was focused on how to capture the thunder-attribute frog in front of him.

Its entire body was as black as ink and covered with thunderbolt patterns.

There was a thunderbolt mark on the top of its head, making it look like a frog version of Harry Potter.

As long as it opened its mouth, a blue-white electric arc would shoot out with a croak. The incredible thing was that the electric arc could split into thousands of pieces and form a dense electric net. Once it fell, there was no way to avoid it!

If that was all, then it was still fine.

However, once the electric net fell on a person, the person would be dizzy for a moment. It wasn't just his body that was affected. Even his divine sense was affected.

This innate great divine power had the same power as Ximen Jianyi's move that day.

Fortunately, the thunder-attribute frog didn't have a high cultivation base. It was only equivalent to a cultivator who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage. Otherwise, Fang Jinyu would have to kill it.

It was because there was no way to capture it alive.

Once the thunder-attribute frog breaks through the Foundation Establishment stage, it will possess 60% of Fang Jinyu's battle prowess with its innate great divine power.

"What kind of descendant is this thing?"

Fang Jinyu was slightly shocked and thought, "The great divine power of its bloodline is simply ridiculous. It's even more unbelievable than my thunderbolt, which allows me to instantly kill cultivators at the same stage as me."

Afterward, Fang Jinyu also made a decision.

"I'll injure it first, then think of a way to save it later."

It's not a good idea to delay like this!

Fang Jinyu's mana surged, and purple-gold lightning flickered in his eyes.

"Boom!"

With a thunderclap, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the secret realm. It brought some light to the secret realm and severely injured the previously arrogant thunder-attribute frog.

Although the thunder-attribute frog was comparable to a lightning-attribute Tianling spiritual root, Fang Jinyu's innate great divine power had almost cost it its life.

It was Fang Jinyu's mercy.

Otherwise, not even a complete frog corpse would be left behind. At that time, he could only pick up a frog leg and stir-fry it with chili.

Fang Jinyu stepped forward and gave the almost dying thunder-attribute frog a life-saving elixir. He then cast a spell and put it in his pocket.

The magic technique was called the "imprisonment technique."

Even after the thunder-attribute frog had recovered, it couldn't move and could only stay in Fang Jinyu's pocket.

"Senior brother, you've cultivated your lightning-attribute techniques to such a level? My grandmother said that even cultivators with a lightning-attribute Tianling spiritual root can't be compared to you at your level." Xin Qianqian looked over curiously.

Although Xin Qianqian wanted to continue pretending to be angry, she couldn't help it.

"You're not angry anymore?" Fang Jinyu glanced at her with a half-smile on his face.

"Hmph!" When Xin Qianqian heard it, she immediately turned her face away and pretended to ignore Fang Jinyu.

But this time, Fang Jinyu pulled her over.

"The secret realm isn't big, and it was left behind by your grandmother's fellow sect peers. However, we should still be careful from now on. There are two paths in front of us, we…"

"One for each of us." Xin Qianqian glared at Fang Jinyu.

How dare he say she was small?!

It was simply preposterous!

"Can you do it?" Fang Jinyu was a little suspicious. Although Xin Qianqian had a "portable grandmother" and should have mastered some techniques from the upper realms, her cultivation base was too low since she was only ranked 5 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

It would have been fine if it were a Nine Desolations native secret realm, it was brought down from the upper realm!

Xin Qianqian quickly said, "Why not? Don't look down on me, I'm very powerful!"

Women couldn't admit their weaknesses!

"Alright then. This spirit tool will make it easier for us to contact each other." Fang Jinyu took out a pair of conchs. They were two middle-grade spirit tools. Since a special item was added during the refining process, not only was it convenient for communication, but it could also send images and real-time videos after refining.

It could be considered the cultivation version of a semi-smartphone.

This kind of spirit tool wasn't considered precious in the immortal cultivation world, but it was also rare.

It was because the refining technique was complicated.

Many weaponsmiths were unwilling to waste their time and energy on refining such a kind of spirit tool. After all, the effort to refine this pair of spirit tools was enough to refine several swords of the same grade.

In terms of price, it was only slightly more expensive than middle-grade spirit swords.

Xin Qianqian didn't reject the conch spirit tool because she could "seduce" the guy in front of her in the middle of the night with it.

She wanted him to be eager for her!

She wanted him to suffer!

"Senior brother, just leave this path to me!"

Afterward, Xin Qianqian raised her little head, placed her hands behind her back, and walked forward with an "arrogant" posture.

Seeing Xin Qianqian's confident and flamboyant steps, Fang Jinyu didn't hesitate and chose another path.

Previously, Xin Qianqian had told him about the secret realm and even clearly explained the general picture and treasures in it. The only unclear thing was what changes had occurred in the secret realm after all these years.

It was because the immortal sect that Xin Qianqian's grandmother was in would always leave a backup plan for such a secret realm.

In other words, when the cultivator in charge of the secret realm died, it would release some sealed dangerous objects or activate some killing arrays or trap restrictions.

It was called "Do not let one's fertile water flow into an outsider's farmland."

At this moment, Fang Jinyu felt the conch in his hand tremble slightly. Afterward, he heard Xin Qianqian's voice, "Senior brother, save me!"

Fang Jinyu was speechless.

Fang Jinyu thought, "Do you know you're acting in a contradictory way?"

Although Fang Jinyu cursed in his heart, he didn't hesitate to go to Xin Qianqian. He immediately activated his skyrocket scripture to rush. Since the secret realm was rich in spiritual energy, he didn't have to worry about the backlash of inner energy.

Soon, Fang Jinyu arrived.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu saw a ground full of thunder-attribute frogs!

Fortunately, the one that blocked their way at the entrance was the strongest one, or a beast. Although these thunder-attribute frogs could spit lightning from their mouths, they didn't form an electric net to slow down the power of their divine sense and physical body.

Thus, Fang Jinyu released his magical power and used the lightning power to deal with the thunder-attribute frogs.

Of course, Fang Jinyu didn't kill them all. He just knocked them out.

Although there was only one mutated beast, there were so many thunder-attribute frogs that it was enough to become the home-guarding spirit beast of an immortal cultivation family.

Moreover, they were lightning-attribute spirit beasts!

Just the fact that these thunder-attribute frogs could spit out lightning from their mouths was enough to make countless cultivators with lightning-attribute spiritual roots use up their savings for it.

Whether it was for their own use or trading, these thunder-attribute frogs wouldn't make them suffer a loss.

After happily putting away the thunder-attribute frogs, Fang Jinyu saw a certain young girl acting dumb again.

"Senior brother, you can go back. I can do this!"

Her tone was calm, and her back was facing Fang Jinyu, like an expert in a Wuxia novel.

"Really?" Fang Jinyu shot her a sidelong glance.

Xin Qianqian snorted, "What can a few spirit beast arrays do to me?" She thought, "I have to get back all the reputations I've lost!"

"Alright then!"

Fang Jinyu wanted to study the thunder-attribute frogs, and he hadn't gained anything for today. He couldn't waste it. At least he wanted to avoid increasing his waist strength like yesterday.

Fang Jinyu picked up an unconscious thunder-attribute frog and began to examine it.

After a while, a text box appeared.

[Today is a day of studying the thunder-attribute frog but to no avail.]

[Refined lightning technique 1]

In an instant, Fang Jinyu's thunderbolt and lifeless thunderstorm techniques' great divine powers greatly improved.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but smile.

Meanwhile, the conch trembled slightly again. "Senior brother! Boo-hoo! There are so many thunder-attribute frogs! Aah! It hurts!"

Hearing the croaking of the frogs, Fang Jinyu was speechless.

Was this the lair of the thunder-attribute frogs?

96 Sect Leader Fang Takes Office

"Do you still dare do it next time?"

"I dare to!"

...

"What a stubborn person." Fang Jinyu casually stuffed a lively thunder-attribute frog into Xin Qianqian's arms.

"Aah! Boo-hoo! Senior brother, I was wrong. I won't dare do it again!"

Fang Jinyu only caught the thunder-attribute frog after seeing the young girl being scared. After he obtained gains in the lightning technique, the ordinary thunder-attribute frog could no longer be dangerous to him.

Even if it spat out lightning, it wouldn't affect Fang Jinyu at all.

A certain young girl was angry but didn't dare to say anything. However, when she looked at the pile of thunder-attribute frogs, she decided to "endure the humiliation to carry out important tasks." She cultivated a rather special spell. Even though it was more powerful after her grandmother had corrected the flaws, she was particularly afraid of lightning-attribute objects before she reached the phenomenal success level.

Therefore, she could only wait until she broke through the Core Formation stage before she regained her authority as a wife!

At that time, as long as it was a lightning technique, she would be immune to half of its power!

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but mock, "Does the immortal sect in the upper realm specialize in rearing thunder-attribute frogs?" It was because there were simply too many thunder-attribute frogs in the secret realm.

However, the one that was blocking the entrance to the secret realm was still unique.

As for the other thunder-attribute frogs, they were getting worse and worse. The last thunder-attribute frog found in the secret realm was almost the same as the usual thunder-attribute frogs. It only had the characteristic of roaring like thunder and nothing else.

The only advantage was that the meat was delicious.

Of course, in the thunder-attribute frog race, it wasn't an advantage.

Xin Qianqian said with a bitter expression, "I don't know either. Although my grandmother has regained some of her memories, she has lost most of them. After all, she is only a wisp of her soul. It is already difficult for her to regain her life force." If she hadn't come to the secret realm, she wouldn't have lost her reputation.

Yet, Xin Qianqian didn't get any benefits!

It was because the thunder-attribute frogs had eaten everything in the secret realm.

As for those array formations and restrictions, when they were broken, they disintegrated on their own, leaving no residue behind.

"Senior brother, here you go. This half of the Lightning Core."

Xin Qianqian took out a strange Hundred-Treasure Box and handed it to Fang Jinyu. It was the only treasure that had been preserved in the secret realm. She had to put in a lot of work to unseal it because it had been sealed using a Cihang Sect secret technique from the upper realm.

"The Lightning Core?"

Fang Jinyu opened the box, and a blinding flash of lightning entered his eyes. He quickly sealed the Hundred-Treasure Box.

Xin Qianqian explained, "My grandmother said that it is something that can only be obtained after hunting the authentic spirits. Originally, there was a complete one, but when she brought it down, an elder's disciple needed it, so he asked for half, leaving only this half of the Lightning Core."

Hunting authentic spirits!

Fang Jinyu's heart skipped a beat. He had only obtained a small amount of authentic spirit bloodline, but his power had increased so much. However, why could the upper realm even hunt authentic spirits?

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but ask, "What are the authentic spirits?"

"Let me ask my grandmother." Xin Qianqian didn't know either. After a while, she received a reply from her grandmother's remnant soul and said with a complicated expression, "If a Nascent Soul stage cultivator has a strong bloodline, he can transform into an authentic spirit. However, if he has a weak bloodline, he'll be in the Incarnation stage."

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but be shocked.

Could Nascent Soul stage cultivators be killed?

Fang Jinyu could only say that the upper realm was worthy of being strong.

The reason why the various immortal sects in the Nine Desolations were so peaceful was that the various Nascent Soul stage cultivators couldn't do anything to each other.

A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't kill an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. He could only defeat or suppress a portion of their cultivation base.

Therefore, there was no need to fight to the death.

Xin Qianqian said as she winked at Fang Jinyu, "Senior brother, why do I suddenly feel that the upper realm is very scary?! Even one with the authentic spirit bloodline… Oh! It's already an authentic spirit, which is equivalent to being able to kill Nascent Soul stage cultivators!"

"It's quite scary."

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but say it. It had broken the "law" of the Nine Desolations that Nascent Soul stage cultivators couldn't be killed.

According to the upper realm's stronger theory, it was bad to be an Incarnation stage cultivator, Nascent Soul stage cultivators were everywhere, and it was normal for Nascent Soul stage cultivators to be killed! However, Fang Jinyu still had two authentic spirit bloodlines!

It made him feel the same way for no reason!

It was as if this half of a Lightning Core had come out of his body!

Afterward, Fang Jinyu picked up the thunder-attribute frog that hadn't run far and stuffed it into Xin Qianqian's arms. He thought, "Did she really think that I don't understand what her gaze means?"

Xin Qianqian knew that Fang Jinyu had two authentic spirit bloodlines.

Xin Qianqian was using it to tease Fang Jinyu!

"Aah! Boo-hoo! Senior brother, I was wrong. I won't dare do it again!"

Some people just need to be taught a lesson.

…

A few days later, Fang Jinyu returned to the Tianling Sect. Following Xin Qianqian's instructions, he absorbed the Lightning Core into his body, and his cultivation base immediately broke through to rank 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, such a forceful breakthrough also left behind many cultivation problems.

Fang Jinyu had spent half a year trying to sort out the matter.

Even so, Fang Jinyu was still overjoyed. According to his original cultivation plan, he would need three to four years to break through to rank 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Furthermore, half of the Lightning Core could help Fang Jinyu when he formed his core.

"However, if I want to form a first-grade core, I still need to understand the key points of cultivation." Fang Jinyu was only confident enough to form a second-grade core, and it would happen when he used a bunch of external items.

Fang Jinyu had originally thought that two or three months would be enough for him to figure it out.

However, when winter arrived, Fang Jinyu was less than 30% confident that he could form a first-grade core.

Fang Jinyu was admiring the snow and was about to sigh at the difficulty of cultivation when he received two pieces of news.

First, Sect Leader Yan was dead!

Second, the person who killed Sect Leader Yan was Su Yier! Not only did she join the devil's realm, but she also became a Core Formation stage cultivator!

"This woman is cheating, right?"

Fang Jinyu was stunned and thought, "Su Yier only has a quarter of her luck left. Why is she able to break through the Core Formation stage so quickly? Of the other three who had the same fate, the weak-looking Junior Sister Sun was only a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. As for Du Maner, she had only broken through the Foundation Establishment stage not long ago. Back then, I gave her a middle-grade spirit tool as a congratulatory gift."

As for "protagonist number three," Fang Jinyu didn't know who she was.

It was because Fang Jinyu hadn't obtained any information about "protagonist number three" from the system so far.

However, Fang Jinyu had a few guesses in mind.

However…

The Tianling Sect already had three "protagonists," Su Yier, Du Maner, and the weak-looking Junior Sister Sun. It couldn't be that "protagonist number three" was also in the Tianling Sect, right?

If that were the case, the Tianling Sect would be miserable…

If the main characters gathered together to play mahjong, it would be difficult for the sect not to be demolished!

Soon two more pieces of news came out.

First, the peak leader of Mount Lingjian, Ling Xiaojiu, betrayed the sect and left.

As for the second news, Fang Jinyu was elected as the new sect leader of the Tianling Sect!
