Spring goes and autumn comes, cold and heat rotate...
Before I knew it, several years had passed.
Peach Blossom Pavilion.
Practice room.
Fang Xi's skills were performed in the sky, and he felt a drop of liquid mana condensed in the sea of dantian, and he couldn't help but look happy.
"By calculation, I am sixty-six years old this year, and the liquid mana in the Dantian Qi Sea has accumulated twenty-six drops. Before I turn a hundred, I will have a chance to break through to the middle stage of foundation building!"
The rapid progress in cultivation is naturally the result of Fang Xi's continuous hard work every day.
Even if I play some games with Jin Ling on a daily basis, it is just an adjustment during my practice, and I have never relaxed my requirements on myself.
Moreover, although the 'Aoki Longevity Technique' is not as good as the top-level magic formula, it can still be regarded as a small masterpiece. At the level of foundation-building monks, at least it does not hold back.
In addition, it is the power of the ‘Aoki Spirit Body’.
Fang Xi now deeply feels that it was a wise decision for her to plant trees in the first place.
Otherwise, at this time, with the following spiritual root qualifications, I would definitely have difficulty in practicing in the early stage of foundation building. How could it be so easy?
"My speed has already caught up with or even surpassed Luo Gong, who built the foundation on his own... This person has the support of Baifeng Mountain, possesses top-level magic techniques, practices in a second-level high-grade spiritual vein place, and has pills from time to time. Helpful..."
"Well, I can't let go of the Breath Condensation Technique... I have been practicing hard for decades. When I break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, I will cooperate with the Demonic Tree to hide my mana. Even monks who have completed Foundation Establishment may not be able to tell that I have made a breakthrough..."
As for the alchemy monks?
There are only a few of these three countries, and the probability of a head-on collision is too low.
Fang Xi came out of seclusion and took a handful of spiritual food to feed the fish.
At this moment, Jin Ling came to report: "Master... there is a guest outside the door who handed over a greeting card, claiming to be an old man from Peach Blossom Island!"
"Hurry up and invite me, forget it... I'll go out and greet you in person!"
Fang Xi walked out of Taohua Pavilion and saw several people waiting at the door.
Wearing a peach-colored palace dress, Ruan Xingling has plain features, Ruan Dan looks cold, and Wei Yixi looks excited...
In the end, Lu Guo and Wang Xiaohu were timid and shrunk, standing aside like country people entering the city.
"Uncle...have you really succeeded in building the foundation?"
Wei Yixi stepped forward and wanted to pull Fang Xi's sleeve, but was a little hesitant: "I wanted to come to you when I received the letter a few years ago, but the island owner dissuaded me and said that we would wait until the big auction and come together on the road. It's good to have someone to take care of you..."
"Um!"
Fang Xi touched Wei Yixi's head as usual, causing the latter to narrow his eyes in comfort.
"Meet Senior Fang!"
When Ruan Dan saw Fang Xi, who was still handsome and handsome, like a young master, and his appearance had not changed at all, and even looked like a younger one, his expression was slightly moved and he took the initiative to salute.
"Your cultivation is pretty good. You have already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. You must have been practicing diligently these years... Huh? Your hands?"
Fang Xi looked at Ruan Dan's right arm and found that it was not empty, but had a bright wrist like a white lotus root.
"Thanks to Master, I found the second-level elixir for me, and my limbs were reborn..." Ruan Dan glanced at his master gratefully.
"The second-level elixir for growing limbs is extremely rare... It's hard for Lord Ruan to find it."
Fang Xi sighed and said to Ruan Xingling.
"Compared to fellow Taoists changing their lives against the will of heaven, the foundation of Taoism created sixty years ago is nothing at all..."
Ruan Xingling looked at Fang Xi at this moment, her expression seemed a little dazed.
"Everyone, please..."
Fang Xi laughed and looked at Lu Guo and Wang Xiaohu again.
"Greetings, sir. Congratulations on your success in building the foundation!" Lu Guo and Wang Xiaohu saluted quickly.
"That's all, please call me Young Master from now on!"
The group of people entered Peach Blossom Pavilion and marveled at the beauty and inspiration of the place.
Wei Yixi glanced at Jin Ling and then at Ruan Xingling, thoughtfully...
…
Under the peach blossom tree.
Fang Xi set up the table and poured a glass of 'green bamboo wine' for Ruan Xingling, while Ruan Dan stood by.
She didn't even sit down, so naturally there was no room for anyone else.
Wei Yixi, on the other hand, greeted the long-lost big herring at the edge of the pond and was made to giggle.
“After all these years, the island owner’s style remains the same!”
Fang Xi finished pouring the wine and said with a smile.
"This situation is just like back then..." Ruan Xingling held the wine glass and looked at the peach blossoms in the courtyard, feeling quite emotional: "Who would have thought that the old farmers who cultivated the Emerald Cliff would today become the foundation builders of the fairy city?"
"Haha... After farming for decades, I accidentally broke through to the late stage of Qi refining, and then rekindled my hope for the road... Then I came to Baize Immortal City, and was lucky enough to reach the perfection of Qi refining before I was sixty years old. I was lucky enough to get
A foundation-building spiritual object, I hurriedly retreated and broke through... Now that I think about it, it was really a fluke!"
Fang Xi seemed to be filled with emotion as she told the lie she had already made up.
"Sigh... it's not easy to build the foundation of casual cultivation. It's not a fluke that my fellow Taoist is where he is today."
Ruan Xingling seemed to be aroused by some thoughts, silently looking at the wine glass.
She had perfected her Qi refinement more than ten years ago, and she is still perfect now.
She is even about the same age as Fang Xi. If she hadn't taken the beauty elixir, she would be an ordinary old woman now.
"I see that fellow Taoist spirit is still in perfect harmony. I must have something planned when I come to participate in the big auction this time."
Fang Xi drank a glass of green bamboo wine, feeling the bitter taste in the wine, and suddenly asked a question.
"It's just a fight to the death..." Ruan Xingling tucked her hair behind her ears, and the roots were slightly frosty white.
'This woman must be over sixty years old and has missed the best age for foundation building...Does she still want to build a foundation? Maybe...she has practiced some secret technique to keep her essence undefeated?'
Fang Xi has never underestimated the world of immortality. There are countless magical skills and secret methods in this world, which can keep Qi and blood strong. There are probably some secret methods that can still be maintained after the age of sixty.
It's just that the older you are, the more dangerous the impact is. Just like Su Lie, the probability of failure and death greatly increases!
He looked at Ruan Xingling and did not say anything to persuade him. He just said: "I happen to have a copy of the VIP invitations for the big auction. Will the island owner go with me?"
With his status as a foundation-building monk, he can naturally filter out many risks.
"No need..."
Ruan Xingling seemed to have already planned: "When the time comes, just ask you to take care of my apprentice and these people..."
She is a very smart woman, and she may have other plans by taking advantage of the big auction to bring her apprentice and several acquaintances of Fang Xi.
"That's fine!"
Fang Xi pondered for a while, and finally smiled: "Jin Ling, take Yixi and the others down to pick out rooms... My place is very empty and we are short of people to live in."
He estimated that Ruan Xingling had already known that Wandao Lake was not a good place and had already intended to let his subordinates leave.
But for some reason, I couldn't escape...
"Ruan Xingling can be so determined in his Taoist heart. The only chance is to build the foundation, right?"
Fang Xi sighed in her heart and did not persuade her again.
If you continue to dissuade, you will be blocking the way, and no matter how good the relationship is, it will fall out.
As for the inferior foundation-building pill in his storage bag?
Fang Xi planned to sell it through black market channels. It was not impossible to give it to people around him, but there was a slight risk of exposure. He was still hesitating now.
…
Half a month later.
At the foot of Baifeng Mountain.
Big auction venue.
"Brother Li...Long time no see!"
Fang Xi, dressed in a green robe, stepped into the venue and greeted all the foundation builders.
There are only a few dozen people building foundations in the entire Baize Immortal City, and they are all familiar with each other. Besides, they have the hope of immortality, and they will not easily become enemies. At least they will smile when they meet.
Fang Xi did the same, saying hello all the way, and met Taoist Huangsha.
"Fellow Daoist Fang..."
Taoist Huangsha's voice was still as hoarse as a broken gong. After meeting, he talked about another thing: "I have some business in the outer city. A few days ago, my subordinates reported that a female cultivator borrowed a spiritual stone and refused to return it.
Tell me your name..."
Most of the people who live in Baize Immortal City have some influence. The Huangsha Taoist has formed a force, doing some exchanging spiritual stones for spiritual crystals in the outer city, and also doing lending business.
Fang Xi was startled and immediately asked, "Who is that female cultivator?"
"Fairy Tengluo... have you ever met her?" Taoist Huangsha stared at Fang Xi's face.
"It's just a neighbor from before. I have no say in how my Taoist friend will deal with her." When Fang Xi heard that it was this woman, she suddenly burst into laughter.
"So that's the case, then I know it well..."
After chatting about this trivial matter, Taoist Huangsha comforted Fang Xi: "Such little people always like to use our banner to act. Fellow Taoist, don't worry. If this woman just wants to pay back the spiritual stone on credit, she dares to taint us."
I must give her a good name..."
Fang Xi muttered a few more perfunctory words before seeing Baifengshan and his entourage entering the scene to build the foundation.
Ouyang Zhen was still in the lead, with Yuan Feihong and Luo Gong at the end of the queue.
"Hello, Mr. Ouyang!"
"Fellow Taoist Ouyang is polite!"
As soon as Ouyang Zhen entered the venue, he was naturally welcomed by many foundation builders.
Only a few people, relying on their status, can still sit still.
Two of them are also powerful monks in the late stage of foundation building.
In addition, there is also a group of strange men and horses, wearing purple robes, with spiritual patterns flashing, turning into clouds of purple, obviously showing the appearance of powerful protective spells.
"Who is that person over there?"
Fang Xi approached Yuan Feihong and Luo Gong and asked Luo Gong casually.
"Those are the disciples from the Yiling Valley of the Wu Kingdom. The leader is the 'Purple Cloud Sword' You Chong..." Luo Gong glanced at him and said through his spiritual consciousness.
"It turns out he is a disciple of the Golden Pill Sect, no wonder..."
Fang Xi responded with a smile.
"Sigh... Yiling Valley is the Jindan sect with the strongest background among the three nearby countries. Even though Chief Ouyang told me not to offend..."
Luo Gong complained.
"oh?"
Fang Xi was a little surprised. He also knew that the Yiling Valley inheritance was in order and the Wu Kingdom was in order. He did not expect that this sect was not the strongest in the Three Kingdoms, but it had the most background.
"Of course... the ancestor of the founding sect of Yiling Valley was originally a direct disciple of Yuanying Zhenjun of the Hunyuan Sect of the Yuan Dynasty..."
Luo Gong's spiritual consciousness transmitted a message and revealed a secret that was not considered a secret among the upper echelons.
