Chapter 288: Chapter 238: Windborne Man (Please Subscribe)

"Righteous and Demonic great war, naturally perilous to the utmost, but the Dao Path calls, and one has no choice but to go..."

A cultivator, who looked like a child, said cheerily.

His lips were rosy and his teeth white, his hair tied into two sky-facing braids, yet the Jiedan Cultivators around him showed expressions of both respect and fear.

This ’Heartless Child’, famous in the Da Jing Immortal Cultivation World, was a great master of the Core Formation Late Stage.

Moreover, he was known to be both righteous and evil, a master of several Escape Skills, and was very unapproachable due to his irritable nature.

"Exactly, exactly so!"

An old Daoist with the appearance of a young child with gray hair laughed, "Therefore, we Loose Cultivators must join our hearts and forces together. Why not agree to advance and retreat together? In this way... we can preserve ourselves amidst the grand warfare between Righteous and Demonic."

"Hehe, the first thing that alliance would want is for us to contribute the ’Linglang Orders,’ isn’t it?"

A Jiedan Cultivator, completely covered in a black robe and wearing a bamboo hat, chuckled coldly several times: "The Linglang Orders are mostly held by the Righteous and Demonic paths. I doubt all of our Loose Cultivators together have even ten... Each Linglang Order can bring up to five people into the Linglang Blessed Land, but I see here, already gathered are no fewer than a hundred cultivators..."

Once these words were out, the color drained from the faces of the people present.

Yet the figure in the black robe continued, "And... for us Loose Cultivators to achieve our Dao and condense True Cores, we either need a great fortune or the secret support from Righteous and Demonic paths... Tell me, could there be among us those who would sow discord, such as Demonic spies, instigating internal conflict among us to not impact the battle between Righteous and Demonic?"

"I think you are the spy of the Demonic Path."

A female Daoist, her eyes wide with anger, held a Flying Sword that flickered coldly, yet also seemed like a pool of autumn water.

This woman was none other than the well-known Jiedan Sword Cultivator from Da Jing, ’Autumn Water Sword’ Song Ningjing.

"Both of you, let’s not get angry..."

The old Daoist who had spoken first waved his dust whisk, "Regarding this matter, I have already thought of a method. There are a few Commanders willing to cooperate with me, and those among you who would join, feel free to discuss with me..."

Having said that, he didn’t wait for those Jiedan Cultivators, but walked into a stone house nearby on his own.

Seeing this, the other Jiedan Cultivators exchanged glances, some followed him directly, while others quickly strategized through Divine Sense transmission.

...

"Indeed, a bunch of odd ones!"

Tens of miles away, Fang Xing observed this scene through his Divine Sense, shook his head, and then looked towards another location.

In the Da Jing Immortal Cultivation World, apart from Loose Cultivators, the largest powers included various Core Formation families and sects.

Not far from Purple Perilla Square, rows of huge Flying Boats, carriages, and pavilions floated in midair, even accompanied by numerous Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation Disciples in attendance.

Within a floating palace that resembled ice jade.

Two similarly-looking young girls sat together, their faces similar and their skin as fair and flawless as ice and jade.

The only difference was that one of them had a mark of a six-petal frost flower on her forehead while the other did not.

"Sister..."

At this moment, the girl without the mark said, "The Qiao Family has betrayed us... originally agreed to give two spots to our Meng Family, I’m afraid that’s going to be nullified. We have to find another way, and to think the Qiao Family has been allies of our Family for generations..."

"Sigh, this time the early opening of the Linglang Blessed Land caught everyone unprepared..."

Meng family’s elder sister sighed, "Alas, although the ’Ice Profound Technique’ you and I cultivate suits Ice Attribute Spirit Root Cultivators, it poses a difficult problem after Core Formation, requiring ingestion of the ’Nine Intense Pure Yang Pill’ to neutralize the inner cold and continue cultivation... The other ingredients for this pill are manageable, only the ’Nine Intense Dragon Capturing Grass’ has vanished from the outside world, and can only be found in the ’North Domain Spiritual Medicine Garden’ within the Linglang Blessed Land..."

"Luckily, I’ve already known not to rely solely on the Qiao Family, and have made contact with a Loose Cultivator, ’Wind Upon Person’, who also has a Linglang Order... Perhaps we can cooperate."

"Sister, that’s brilliant," Meng family’s younger sister’s eyes shone.

...

Meanwhile.

Fang Xing exasperatedly unleashed a sword light, piercing through the core of a Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivator with Wind Attribute.

Then, he pressed down heavily: "Soul Search!"

"You a mere Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivator, dare to rob me?"

"Oh, was I too low-key... just a mere Early Stage of Core Formation."

He dropped the stupefied Cultivator’s body to one side, casually picked up the robber’s storage bag, and scanned it with his Divine Sense.

In his hand appeared suddenly another ’Linglang Order’.

Looking at this ’Linglang Order’, he became more speechless: "Isn’t this thing supposed to be very precious? Aren’t... you its holder, yet still tried robbing me? Is your brain sick?"

Actually, he was aware that at this time a ’Linglang Order’ could absolutely fetch a sky-high price.

Even more so... holding the Linglang Order, Fang Xing suddenly felt the sensation from another token in his hand.

"Do holders of two tokens sense each other?"

"What kind of Underworld tactic is this? Intentionally making us kill each other? Was the owner of the Linglang Blessed Land originally from the Demonic Path?"

Fang Xing continued to complain, then his hands formed a gesture, and a green spirit pearl flew out, exactly the ’Nine Infant Pearl’!

The Nine Infant Pearl transformed into a Nine Infant Illusion, and a head that resembled both dragon and serpent gently inhaled.

In an instant, the body of the Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivator, unable to resist, shuddered slightly and was void of all life force.

A Divine Soul appeared and was devoured by the Nine Infant’s head, and subsequently, a substantial amount of Essence Blood emerged from the corpse and entered the Nine Infant Pearl.

Soon after, its eighth head was illuminated.

Fang Xing held the ’Nine Infant Pearl’, and his figure suddenly changed, transforming into the Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivator he had just robbed.

Dressed in a green robe, with a lean appearance and three long whiskers drifting down, only his forehead bore some wrinkles. In his youth, he must have been a handsome man, and likely faced many hardships in middle age.

"Loose Cultivator, Luo Shangren... born in a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan, carefree in his youth, later jilted by his fiancée and subsequently his family was exterminated... Wandering and lost, finally seizing an opportunity, he succeeded in Core Formation and avenged his great grudge."

Fang Xing slightly smiled, taking on the face of the unfamiliar Jiedan Cultivator to return to the Ruins of Xu was somewhat risky, but now this well-grounded identity was quite advantageous.

"Just right, this Luo Shangren had dealings with Meng Xingtong and Meng Xingyu, the sisters of the Meng Family...I can blend into the team of a Core Formation family."

With a flick of his sleeve, Fang Xing’s figure, like a clear breeze, flew towards a cold ice palace.

’Luo Shangren’s dealings with the Meng family’s sisters were actually out of lust for their beauty...’

’It’s a shame he remains a Jiedan Cultivator... However, once Cultivators reach Core Formation, their Mana struggles to progress further. Luo Shangren, feeling his potential all but drained after advancing to the middle stage of Core Formation, thought to leverage the heretical path of Dual Cultivation Techniques, which is somewhat understandable.’

...

Ice Jade Palace.

Fang Xing swaggered into it and was met by two Early Stage Core Formation female cultivators.

They were all dressed in white palace robes, their skin as translucent as snow, indeed all of them were top-notch beauties.

"Luo Shangren arrives so early?"

The Core Formation female Cultivator with a Six-petal Frost Flower on her forehead scanned Fang Xing with her Divine Sense, detected no flaws, then gracefully bowed with a smile.

"Since Xingtong invited me, how could I not come?"

Fang Xing, portraying Luo Shangren, replied modestly and with deep feeling.

He had at least read a few volumes of "An Actor Prepares" and had conducted a Soul Search on Luo Shangren, managing to play this lascivious man to perfection.

A flush of shyness appeared on Meng Xingtong’s face, causing her sister Xingyu to cluck her tongue in secret.

She knew she could never pull off such an expression or make such a sacrifice.

"With some time till the Blessed Land opens, the esteemed one might as well stay at the Ice and Snow Palace, letting us sisters take good care of you..."

Meng Xingtong smiled charmingly, gentle as water, commanding some Foundation Establishment maids of the Meng family to prepare a feast, then inquired, "A Linglang Order can bring five people, I wonder if you, dear friend, still have two spots open, have you thought it through?"

’The Meng sisters are coveting even my last two spots?’

’Oh, I’m in the middle stage of Core Formation, and they’ve just reached Core Formation; they can’t compete with me even combined. Are they looking for security?’

Fang Xing pretended to hesitate, indulged freely in the feast, and wiped quite a bit of oil before, under Meng Xingyu’s somewhat angry gaze, he leisurely said, "I haven’t quite decided yet, maybe I’ll just invite a few Daoist friends and let the highest offer win..."

"Since it will be the highest offer that prevails, I also have a sister who has long admired you, sir. Could she join as well?"

Meng Xingtong measured her words carefully, knowing that if the party had four of her own, Luo Shangren would be a fool to agree, thus aiming to secure just one spot.

"Haha, if Xingtong, you have good sisters, feel free to call them."

Fang Xing laughed heartily and drank another jar of Spiritual Wine before retiring to rest.

After he left, Meng Xingyu could no longer restrain herself, her face as stern as water, she waved her hand.

A layer of icy crystal Prohibition immediately enveloped the whole hall, with countless runes darting about.

"Sister... that Luo Shangren is truly infuriating."

She looked grievously at her elder sister.

"Sigh... Since our Cultivation is insufficient, we can only submit," Meng Xingtong replied, no longer cheerful and jesting, and sighed.

"Sister, you aren’t seriously considering becoming Dual Cultivation companions with that Luo Shangren, are you?" Meng Xingyu asked in surprise.

"How could that be? The Cultivation Technique we practice, of course, is to maintain the Pure Yin Body, which is most beneficial to our cultivation..." Meng Xingtong said, "For now, the best plan is to divert the trouble eastward. Send a token immediately and call ’Madame Butterfly Pistil’ here..."

"So, sister, your good friend is actually that one," Meng Xingyu realized, showing a look of sudden understanding.

This Madame Butterfly Pistil was a Loose Cultivator they knew.

A person of good character, albeit a Cultivator of the Charming Skill, and outwardly, she always maintained the guise of a pure maiden. If they hadn’t been close for many years, they wouldn’t have known her true nature.

Now, pulling her in to deal with Luo Shangren was like fighting poison with poison.

"Madame Butterfly Pistil has always wanted to enter the Linglang Blessed Land, and with this opportunity, she certainly won’t miss out, it’s just that her family wealth is insufficient..."

Meng Xingyu hesitated slightly.

"That Luo Shangren is greedy and lustful; naturally, we will hold a small meeting, and the highest offer wins. How could a Loose Cultivator compare to the heritage of our Meng family’s Core Formation family?"

Meng Xingtong smiled, "We’ll secretly support Madame Butterfly Pistil then; at this point, a few Spirit Stones, what is there that we can’t part with?"
