Fang Xi put away the Qinghe Sword, but suddenly asked.
Given his relationship with Ruan Xingling, why would he come to congratulate him in person on his birthday instead of letting a young apprentice do it for him?
"Master is entertaining an important guest. He asked me to come and inform him that she will be here shortly..."
Ruan Dan bowed slightly and expressed his apology on behalf of Ruan Xingling.
"I see……"
Fang Xiyun was calm and didn't seem to mind this at all. She smiled and said, "Young island master, please come and have a few more drinks..."
"good……"
Ruan Dan looked at the elegant and indifferent Fang Xi and couldn't help but secretly regret it.
When I was young and energetic, I did offend many people, and later paid a heavy price. Now I want to make amends, but I don’t know if it’s too late?
Twenty-year-old peach blossom brew has a mellow taste and a lasting aftertaste. You will get drunk if you are not careful.
Especially the little girl Wei Yixi, her face turned red without realizing it, she was lying on the table drunkenly, and kept mumbling something.
Ruan Dan drank a few drinks, his face was as bright as clouds, and his eyes were wandering.
"Haha, everyone should have fun today..."
Fang Xi also drank a few drinks, feeling like an old man having a teenage boy's madness: "I'll invite the owner of the island to drink together..."
After that, he directly drove the black feather boat and flew towards Mirror Moon Lake.
The strong wind was blowing, and his eyes were clear, without any hint of drunkenness.
He was really interested in Ruan Xingling's important guests.
Inside the villa.
"Fellow Daoist Fang..."
The two monks saw Fang Xi and hurriedly greeted him.
"Where is the island owner? I am celebrating my birthday today, so I came here to invite the island owner to have a glass of wine."
Fang Xi said with a smile.
Regarding the second master on the island, a monk did not dare to neglect and answered directly: "The island owner is receiving a guest at the Zui Nuan Pavilion. Fellow Daoist Fang might as well wait."
"Well, then I'll go to the 'Tingyu Tower' next door and wait."
Fang Xi was very carefree and asked someone to accompany her to Tingyu Tower.
He is very familiar with the layout here. Tingyu Tower is adjacent to the ‘Zui Nuan Pavilion’, only a few dozen meters apart!
After breaking through to Dzogchen, the range of his spiritual consciousness has reached ten feet, which is a distance of about thirty-three meters!
After arriving at Tingyu Tower, Fang Xi tasted the spiritual tea and secretly released her spiritual consciousness.
Although she was worried that there were restrictions inside Zui Nuan Pavilion, such as 'amulets' and the like, Fang Xi did not dare to spread her spiritual consciousness into it rashly.
But it was only in the outside world that Mo Hu's words were heard.
"...my ancestor of the Zhong family..."
"The destruction of the Thirty-Six Islands is not far away..."
"Yu Lingzi is dead... Taoist friend, please think about it..."
…
After lighting a stick of incense, a middle-aged monk flew out of Zui Nuan Pavilion.
His temples were gray, but his face gave Fang Xi a vague sense of familiarity.
"It's the famous guest of Longmen Pavilion - Zhong Wangu!"
"Is it really a member of the Zhong family who came to win over Peach Blossom Island?"
"If what he said is true, the foundation-building monk in Lingkongfang City - Yu Lingzi is dead?"
"The Thirty-six Island Alliance deliberately planned to overwhelm the Zhong family, but they didn't expect to suffer heavy losses at the beginning!"
…
After Zhong Wangu, who looked gloomy, left, Ruan Xingling came to Tingyu Tower.
"Island owner, I have three jars of 20-year-old wine. Why don't you go have a drink?"
Fang Xi smiled and sent out the invitation.
"Just right!"
Ruan Xingling waved gently, and a sheet of petals surrounded her. The two of them were connected by the light and soared into the sky together.
The strong wind blew against her face, but Ruan Xingling looked at Fang Xi with a smile but not a smile: "Do you have anything to ask, fellow Daoist Fang?"
"Since the island owner has recast the Qinghe Sword, I understand what the island owner means, but..."
There was hesitation on Fang Xi's face: "In this life, I only want to turn swords into plowshares, and I don't want to fight anymore..."
"It's a pity that in the world of immortality, if you don't kill people, people will kill you. The three upper sects are eager to integrate the alliance, turn it into a sect, and even dominate Wandao Lake..."
Ruan Xingling said angrily: "For this reason, I do not hesitate to unite with outsiders to destroy my foundation construction..."
‘This time, do we have to have a heart-to-heart relationship?’
Fang Xi asked tentatively: "Which island owner is more optimistic about the Zhong family?"
"The Zhong family is a tiger and a wolf!"
Ruan Xingling shook her head: "Don't you know that the Silver Armored Demon seven years ago must have the support of the Zhong family! How could I surrender to them..."
Fang Xi couldn't help but remain silent.
He had seen Zhong Wangu come to work as a lobbyist before!
The other party even revealed important information. From this point of view, the Zhong family should have an advantage.
Under this situation, Ruan Xingling seemed not to choose them.
Could it be that... there are third-party forces involved in Wandao Lake?
This is not impossible!
'I just don't know... which force it is? And how did Ruan Xingling get on the line and trust the other party?'
Fang Xi suppressed her desire to explore.
In fact, he doesn't care who rules Wandao Lake, as long as he doesn't disturb him from planting trees.
Now, I went to the Emerald Cliff with Ruan Xingling and drank wine together. The host and the guest had a great time...
…
At night.
Everyone in Jade Cliff dispersed, leaving only Fang Xi sitting quietly under the peach tree.
The big herring in the pond huddled at the bottom, not even daring to come up.
Even though it has become a fish king and a fish rapist, it is still full of heartfelt fear every time it faces this owner who is aloof from emotions and anger.
"Even if the Mikami family wants to conceal Yu Lingzi's death, sooner or later they will be unable to do so..."
"This time the Thirty-six Island Alliance took the initiative to stir up trouble, which is unwise!"
"The Zhong family has shown its strength, and we don't know how it will end...but it is foreseeable that the foundation-building monks will definitely take action."
"At that time, the intensity of the war will be completely different!"
Although Fang Xi had reached the level of perfect Qi refining in both Qi and body refining, she thought that she didn't have many opponents during the Qi refining period.
Even standing under the demon tree, he can be said to be invincible in refining his energy. He dares to fight even if he is building a foundation... but it is only a battle...
He has always believed in suppressing others with his realm, rather than being suppressed by others!
Even if you have foundation-building combat power, you must be cautious when fighting with foundation-building players of the same level, not to mention that you are not yet in the foundation-building stage!
It is also very stupid to fight against such a powerful enemy for Ruan Xingling.
'If we really encounter a powerful enemy and a foundation-building monk takes action against Peach Blossom Island...even if we give up the Demonic Tree, we must escape!'
'After all, I still have a hundred years of life left. I can go to Daliang to get some seeds from the demon tree and continue planting trees in another place!'
‘Although it’s very passionate to use Qi to fight against Foundation Establishment, it’s not my style!’
'You have to be cautious to live a long life!'
Life is the only thing, and when it is gone, nothing is truly lost.
Other than that, there’s nothing you can’t give up!
Fang Xi has always been extremely firm about her true intentions.
'However, you can also try to increase your strength first!'
He thought of the demon tree and looked at his fist.
Today, Fang Xi can already feel the terrifying energy and blood hidden under her body!
This is the benefit gained from planting trees for nearly thirty years and continuously increasing Qi and blood every day!
It is comparable to taking one or even multiple second-level qi and blood treasure pills!
'Not long after... No, you can put aside the daily life-extending vitality and Yimu Dharmakaya cultivation, and use all your strength to increase your own energy and blood, so as to sprint towards the realm of 'True Gang Transformation'!'
This martial arts realm in the Great Liang legend is comparable to the fourth-level cultivation of the Immortal Body Refining Technique such as "The Body of Ten Thousand Beasts", and is equivalent to the physical cultivation in the early stage of foundation building!
Even though the means may be inferior to those of foundation-building monks, they are still able to protect themselves to a certain extent.
Thinking of this, Fang Xi came to the underground cave and saw the demon tree that had grown downward to more than six feet. She couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Jiayi!"
The wooden puppet wearing a vine mask immediately walked out of the darkness and came to Fang Xi.
"Go near Jingyue Lake and monitor Ruan Xingling's every move. Once this person leaves the village, report to me immediately!"
Fang Xi gave an order, and Jia Yi immediately set off towards the direction of Jingyue Lake.
Soon after.
By the lake, among the peach trees.
As soon as A came to the edge of an ordinary peach tree, he stretched out his palm, and countless tentacles emerged from his palm, blending into the peach tree.
The next moment, his whole body was strangely submerged into the tree trunk, with his face hidden inside the tree hole, and his eyes staring blankly in the direction of the villa.
This is also a little discovery made by Fang Xi. This kind of wooden puppet has a weird wood escape spell that can blend with trees, and its aura is close to nothing.
Very suitable for being a spy!
Fang Xi's move was not because she doubted Ruan Xingling, but she was just curious about that third party.
After all, anyone who dares to interfere in Wandao Lake must at least be a foundation-building force!
If a wolf is lured into your home, you can be prepared when the time comes!
…
one year later.
Dan indoor.
Fang Xi started refining the elixir while flipping through the elixir book.
What he is practicing now is a pill recipe that he recently received from the exchange meeting—Qi-Building Pill!
This elixir is quite interesting, divided into three levels: lower, middle and upper.
Among them, the low-grade Qi-Building Pill can only restore 60 to 70% of the mana of a monk in the early stages of Qi refining in a short period of time.
As for the first-grade top-grade Qi-Building Pill, even if a monk who has completed Qi refining is exhausted of his mana, he can still recover about 40 to 50% of his power in a short period of time!
'After reaching the first level of high-grade, it is not convenient to collect either elixirs or medicinal materials...'
Fang Xi's consciousness spread out, feeling the changes in the properties of the translucent elixir liquid in the elixir furnace, and she felt as if she was at ease.
The next moment, he tapped the alchemy furnace and produced a series of spells.
Buzz!
The alchemy furnace is opened wide, and the fragrance is overflowing.
A ball of medicinal liquid solidified and flew out, and many of the impurities in it were actively peeled off and submerged into the alchemy furnace.
Five pills, as pure and flawless as pearls, appeared in Fang Xi's hand. They were all top-grade Qi-tonifying pills!
"Come again!"
Fang Xi put the elixir away and continued to play the elixir collection technique toward the elixir furnace.
In an instant, the aroma of the medicine overflowed.
Smaller pills emerged and landed on the jade plate. They were eight middle-grade Qi-tonifying pills!
At this time, the flame at the bottom of the alchemy furnace has not been extinguished!
When Fang Xi used the pill collection technique for the third time, sixteen more low-grade Qi-boosting pills flew out!
"The impurities in the high-grade elixir may be the main material for the middle-grade elixir... My set of 'Triple Waves' elixir collecting techniques can repeatedly refine the remaining materials of the high-grade elixir into elixirs. In this way,
Come on, the utilization rate of a batch of elixirs is close to 90%..."
Fang Xi glanced at the copper alchemy furnace with some regret: "If it weren't for the poor quality of this alchemy furnace, there would be a few more middle- and low-grade elixirs..."
