Chapter 141: Chapter 127 Reunion with an Old Friend (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

"The cultivator from Myriad Beasts Sect who has reached Core Formation, could it be that he doesn’t dare to come himself, and instead sends disciples to face death... In the end, cannon fodder will die without regret."

Several days later.

Fang Xing summarized the information obtained and began to deduce an escape plan, no, a migration plan.

"There are still acquaintances in Qinglin Square, which is indeed good..."

"If you want to leave comfortably, the most convenient way is definitely to take a flying boat... With the square being so large, the flying boats transporting materials can carry a good number of passengers each time..."

"With Su Ye’s help, it shouldn’t be difficult to get a boat ticket."

The reason for choosing Su Ye was that this woman had witnessed Fang Xing’s strength and would not be tempted by wealth without reason.

Moreover, she had previously signed a Second Rank Spirit Contract, and although she now has advanced cultivation, she might be able to break the contract, but doing so would also come at a certain cost.

Fang Xing assessed that he was probably not worth that cost, after all, he had no grudge with Su Ye, and they had cooperated quite well.

"Besides, getting a detailed map is next, and then relying on my main body to take the lead, to take me away..."

As long as there was a relatively safe route, last time Su Ye, who was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, was able to eventually get out with a group of the old, weak, sick, and disabled.

Fang Xing didn’t believe that his main body taking action wouldn’t be enough.

Back then, he was able to fight against Second Rank Demon Beasts, and his strength was now even stronger.

If it came to close-quarters combat, even a cultivator at the Perfect Foundation Establishment level would be but the work of a single sword... Of course, the premise is that he would need a better sword!

The Green Rainbow Sword, a Second Rank Low Grade Spiritual Artifact Level sword, had gradually become unsuitable for use as his main body advanced in power.

"I have a good amount of treasures in hand now, whether it’s a Second Rank Demon Core or a Second Rank Bing Fire Divine Thunder Talisman, bringing them out would attract quite a lot of covetous eyes..."

"But the resources here are still scarce, I should go to the Fertile Wilderness to see more resources, especially that Vigorous Evil Qi!"

"Besides, I can also pay attention to Core Formation Spirit Items... The medicines of the Third Rank in this world, I wonder how many have healing effects?"

Comparing the local Vigorous Evil Qi with the special qi of the universe stored in the treasure vault had been part of the plan all along.

In addition, Fang Xing had become interested in higher rank medicine.

Spirit Pills that local martial artists could not consume does not mean that the Blue Star martial artists can’t!

If there was medicine that could ’bring the dead back to life, mend broken bones’, could it replace ’Rejuvenation Water’?

By doing so, how much school credit could he save.

The Cultivation World was rich in resources, which could be fully utilized to replace some of the original Martial Arts resources.

This was the cultivation plan decided by Fang Xing.

With his main body’s current cultivation level, achieving these wasn’t too difficult.

Moreover, with the clone, the genuine cultivator, he could obtain many conveniences.

In the following days, Fang Xing saw one flying boat after another transporting a large number of cultivators, revitalizing Qinglin Square with astonishing speed.

Immediately after, a carpet-style search was initiated near the Wanfa Secret Realm.

Fang Xing looked at their search area and couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Isn’t this where I fought with that Third Rank Flood Dragon back then? Especially the spot where a Core Formation cultivator from Qingxuan Sect fell... It seems like that Core Formation cultivator from Myriad Beasts Sect is holding onto a stroke of luck, or perhaps he sensed that female Core Formation cultivator’s little ruse?"

...

Inside the dense forest.

Han Qingyun held a black small shield magic artifact in one hand, and a Mid-grade Flying Sword in the other, looking around with vigilance.

While scanning his surroundings, he complained inwardly.

’Myriad Beasts Sect has us come here to search for something, yet they wouldn’t say what to look for... Just orders to report anything unusual... Are they treating us as cannon fodder?’

He decided to just muddle through the action.

After all, he had no intention of giving his life for the Upper Sect.

As for the treasure?

It was nothing but a cause of trouble, something that absolutely must not be involved with, even to the point of discarding it if found!

’Those poor mountain refugees, eagerly awaiting a savior to come, only to be interrogated one by one... Once the Heart Inquiry Talisman found no issues, they were finally allowed out, then conscripted as labor...’

With this thought, Han Qingyun felt that his decision to leave years ago was the right one.

’Actually, if anyone is likely to find some leftover treasure, it would be that ’Fang Yun’ senior... After all, he’s suspected to be a Second Rank Body Cultivator, even Elder Su after reaching Foundation Establishment did not dare to provoke him after he contested for a chance...’

It seems that what you ponder by day, you dream of by night.

Han Qingyun blinked and saw a fierce-looking black-robed cultivator approaching—it was ’Fang Yun’!

He rubbed his eyes, and a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face, as he greeted, "I have seen the senior, it’s really great to see that you are safe and sound..."

"Heh heh, young man, you do have a way with words..."

Fang Xing praised for a few words, then said, "Today, I had the good fortune of seeing an old friend... Where is Su Ye? Take me to her!"

"Yes!"

Han Qingyun immediately led the way, adding cautiously, "Qinglin Square has changed hands, and now it’s Myriad Beasts Sect that holds control... A Master from Myriad Beasts Sect named ’Lian Fengqi’ has come, who has reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, moreover, Black Sky Temple also sent ’Zhang Dugu’, said to be at the Mid-Stage of Foundation Establishment..."

Zhang Dugu is not a personal name, but a position, ranking as one of the three Dugus and five Zhuans within the Black Sky Temple!

The three Dugus refer to Dugu Zhang, Dugu Jiang, and Dugu Chu, while the five Zhuans are Quiet Zhuan, Hall Zhuan, Chamber Zhuan, Sutra Zhuan, and Transformation Zhuan... added to them is a Perfect Foundation Establishment supervising officer, making up the entirety of the high-ranking officials within the Black Sky Temple now.

"You lad, not bad..."

Fang Xing asked several questions and learned that Lian Fengqi had a Second Rank Demon Beast, the Winged Tiger, as his spiritual pet. He immediately smiled, casually pulling out a Top Grade magic artifact he didn’t care for much and tossing it over.

"Thank you, senior, for your generosity."

Han Qingyun joyfully accepted it on the spot.

"Right, on your initial journey here, did you have a map? Give me a copy!"

Fang Xing added.

Han Qingyun was slightly startled, then promptly took out a jade scroll from his bosom: "This was made by myself, it’s somewhat crude..."

Fang Xing took it, swept over it with his spiritual power, and nodded faintly: "Not bad at all... You are quite considerate."

He then asked a few more questions about the dangers along the road, subtly probing, and learned that Ding Hongxiu and his granddaughter had arrived at the Fertile Wilderness successfully, whereas Hua Feiyue had less luck and perished in a perilous area, causing him to fall silent.

Together, the two entered Qinglin Square, and along the way, the law enforcement disciples who saw Han Qingyun in his Qingxuan Sect Magic Robe did not bother to interrogate them.

Everything went smoothly along the way until they reached the peak of a mountain where a small courtyard was enveloped in dense spiritual energy and white mist.

"Han Qingyun, seeking an audience with Elder Su!"

Han Qingyun sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman, and before long, the mist dispersed, revealing a woman with a charmingly sweet smile – it was Su Ye’s attendant, Xiao Ru.

"Ah, it turns out we have guests, please come in!"

Xiao Ru glanced at Fang Xing, with a hint of astonishment in her eyes, but her face remained full of smiles as she invited Fang Xing into the courtyard, and then went down to prepare refreshments.

The courtyard was arranged with plain elegance; there was only a plum tree, its branches robust as dragons, carrying a faint fragrance.

Fang Xing sat down in the courtyard, looking at the tea and refreshments Xiao Ru offered with a faint smile. He extended his hand and gently swept it over the stone table, revealing two jade bottles: "Here are two bottles of elixir useful for Qi Cultivators, you and the lad can each take one."

"Thank you, senior."

Xiao Ru picked up a jade bottle, opened it, and inside she saw a pearl-like elixir, nearly transparent inside, its medicinal fragrance concentrated but not dispersing.

Being adept in elixir identification herself, she exclaimed in surprise after recognizing it: "A Supreme-grade Elixir? Thank you for your generous gift, senior!"

Han Qingyun on the side was even more excited, for his inferior Spirit Root meant he had to consume a large quantity of elixirs to enhance his mana.

But consuming too many elixirs could lead to accumulations of elixir toxins in the body, making it even harder to break through to the next realm.

Taking a Supreme-grade elixir, however, posed no such issue.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for bestowing the elixir..."

Suddenly, the gate of the pavilion opened, and Su Ye emerged, fragrant with the scent of elixirs and a whiff of smoke, gracefully saying, "I was delayed a bit by a batch of elixirs just now, so please don’t take offense, fellow Daoist!"

"Of course, I don’t take offense."

Fang Xing laughed heartily, watching as Xiao Ru and Han Qingyun once again bowed before retreating respectfully.

"What brings fellow Daoist here this time?"

Su Ye, with one hand elegantly lifting her sleeve, revealed her other hand, as fair as jade, and poured more tea for Fang Xing, asking gently.

"Two matters! First, I have a batch of Second Rank Demon Beast materials that I’d like fellow Daoist to refine into Boiling Blood."

Having been out of Body Refining Potions for a long time, Fang Xing knew that Boiling Blood, although not as good as Kunpeng Blood, was certainly much better than having no potion at all.

He planned to use the local resources for his normal cultivation and, if they were not useful when trying to break through realms, then consider using academic credits to exchange for precious treasures in the treasure vault.

"That is simple."

Su Ye readily agreed, having made significant progress in her alchemy after reaching Foundation Establishment, thus not considering this task problematic.

"The second matter, I wonder if it’s now possible to leave the market square... Could fellow Daoist help purchase a boat ticket?"

Fang Xing stared into Su Ye’s eyes beneath her veil.

As his true self was here now, he naturally had enough confidence, thinking that even if three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the market square joined forces, they would be mere corpses.

Unless he sought death himself by walking into the death gate of the Flying Boat Formation, there was a chance of defeat.

But even then, escape was possible.

"Fellow Daoist wishes to leave aboard the flying boat?"

Su Ye was taken aback, and then said, "Currently, the market is no longer under the control of the Qingxuan Sect, but we, as Foundation Establishment cultivators, indeed possess such clout to guarantee a few Qi Cultivators’ departure... If it is a fellow Foundation Establishment Daoist, it would be more difficult..."

At this, she paused reflexively.

To her, Fang Xing at this moment still appeared as a mere Martial Artist.

’This fellow Daoist Fang Yun’s Concealing Breath Skill is truly marvelous. I know he is a Second Rank Body Cultivator, and yet he’s been maintaining this appearance. It’s clear he is extremely cautious in his daily life...’

With some hesitation, Su Ye said, "Could it be that fellow Daoist intends to board the ship as a Martial Artist? Forgive my frankness, but wouldn’t that be even more conspicuous?"

In the eyes of cultivators, Martial Artists are lowly, so how could one possibly afford the spirit stones for a boat ticket, and obtain the guarantee of a Foundation Establishment?

"No need to worry; this is our first deal, so I will send over a Qi Cultivation nephew to go in my place. All you need to do is send him off."

Fang Xing had planned to let someone else take the risk first, while he assessed the situation.
