Chapter 120 Planning (Celebrating Alliance Leader Su Yechan)
Inside the cave.
Fang Qing was cooking according to a recipe passed down from the "Spiritual Chef" section of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.
The main material is naturally from the body of the longevity tortoise.
He had already refined the essence and blood of this tortoise into longevity pills. When taken together with the second-tier longevity pill, the effect was perfect, extending his lifespan by about ten years.
Besides, the remaining second-tier tortoise shells, after a little refinement, can become high-grade spiritual weapon-level shields.
The leftover scraps, however, triggered Fang Qing's cravings from his past life as a great foodie empire, and he used them to make some delicious dishes with other seafood.
"Mmm—this meat jelly tastes pretty good, the texture is almost like jelly."
"It's remarkable that a master chef like him could think of such a detail."
Fang Qing took a spoonful of turtle meat jelly with a jade spoon, savoring the rich, sweet aroma between her lips and teeth, and unknowingly finished it in a few bites.
After satisfying his appetite, he resumed his daily cultivation.
Now he mainly practices the "Azure Sea Skill" and the "Listening to the Mysterious Cave Spring Scripture", while his body and spiritual consciousness are cultivated through the "Horse-Headed Vajra Protector Divine Skill".
As for minor techniques like Thousand Hearts Puppet Control, they were basically abandoned.
When he had a spare moment, he would practice several secret techniques, such as the last two levels of the "Shadowless Escape Technique of Xunfeng" and the "Soul-Searching Technique of Splitting Gods".
and so on.
After finishing his cultivation, Fang Qing leisurely emerged from seclusion to handle some mundane affairs on Taibai Island and casually glanced at the letter from Bihai Sect.
Last time, the sect ordered us to investigate the matter of Sanyuan Island.
Fang Qing casually sent a Foundation Establishment cultivator to take a look around, just to get by, and the sect didn't pursue the matter.
After all, during the great war, the power of local garrisons rose again.
In theory, Fang Qing could have acted first and informed the Qi Refining disciples on Taibai Island without prior notice.
Even if two Foundation Establishment cultivators are involved, they can be severely injured or imprisoned if they sense something is wrong.
According to Linghu Zhong's letter, the sect was completely powerless to help Taibai Island. With only a few members, it would be a pleasant surprise if they could just hold onto Taibai Island; they didn't have high expectations.
Fang Qing opened Qin Ruxue's letter again. Well, this was actually just a cover-up.
Through Qin Ruxue, his informant, he already knew about many changes in the sect.
For example, Xiang Dahu successfully established his foundation and was assigned to a second-tier cave dwelling, where he is currently consolidating his cultivation level.
Although the sects have started a major war with the Sea Annihilation Alliance, the Sea Annihilation Alliance's actions have been very slow.
Recently, the contraction has been rapid, as if it had been frightened.
Fang Qing knew perfectly well that Wei Yuanfeng's death had been discovered.
The Extinction Alliance only has one Core Formation cultivator. If Shi Tiexin shamelessly ambushes Foundation Establishment cultivators on all sides, it will be too late to put out the fire.
Therefore, this great war in the cultivation world is more like a low-intensity skirmish between two hostile sects.
Although fewer people are dying, the situation could continue for decades or even centuries.
Destroying the Sea Alliance is one thing, but even the Azure Sea Sect doesn't really want to fight.
After thinking it over, Fang Qing immediately understood.
In these short span of decades, first the Zhong family of Taibai launched an attack, then destroyed Tianxin Linked Islands, attacked Taibai Island, fought the ten-year war of the Beast Tide, killed the Overlord Turtle, destroyed the Zhong family, and subsequently went to war with the Extinction Alliance.
The Bihai Sect suffered heavy casualties among its tens of thousands of disciples and hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators!
Currently, there are only three Foundation Establishment cultivators responsible for guarding such a large area as Taibai Island, which is also a third-order spiritual vein. This speaks volumes.
When those below are unwilling to fight, even the Nascent Soul stage masters above find it difficult to advance.
After all, war has already been declared. If the subordinates are not putting in any effort and are just lying around, giving up, and wasting their time, even the Core Formation Ancestor can only watch helplessly!
Unless several Core Formation elders engage in a life-or-death duel, deciding the outcome in one round!
Those below will definitely support it, but the higher-level cultivators will certainly not agree.
They finally broke through to the Core Formation stage, with a lifespan of five hundred years. Are they going to use it for a life-or-death duel?
Therefore, the situation has reached a stalemate.
"It was unexpected, yet perfectly logical—"
Fang Qing put down the letter and rubbed his temples: "It's time to deal with the affairs of Ancient Shu."
His expression turned somewhat strange when he thought of the ancient Shu Kingdom.
He never showed up, yet Xu Hei remained unscathed. He even used his local power to spend lavishly, hiring freelance cultivators to spy and gather a great deal of intelligence.
"First, it was Miao Huo Ming Zi who attracted Xu Hei with Tantric techniques —"
"Then two more people appeared: Miaofeng Mingzi and Qingjing Mingfei —"
"These Mingzi drink and eat meat without any regard for the law, and even sabotage each other—Xu Hei has been able to maneuver to this point precisely because of these loopholes—"
"And indeed, esoteric monks began to travel eastward—in Xituo County, the westernmost part of ancient Shu," a large number of esoteric practitioners had emerged and spread their faith.
Based on the combined intelligence, Fang Qing could now focus his target on one person—"The Path of White Bones—Master Sangji!"
"This person comes from the Wuxiang Temple of all beings, and is a direct disciple of the secret teachings—he was the first to come east when the secret monks crossed the sea, and he spread the lineage in Xituo County, establishing the White Bone Path—he lectured on Buddhist scriptures in Shangyong City for three days, attracting tens of thousands of followers who listened with rapt attention, and many were converted on the spot—"
The so-called "disciples of the secret teachings" also need to practice breathing exercises and have a high degree of autonomy. In Fang Qing's view, they are slave owners.
The Mingfei, Mingzi, and many disciples and monks of the "separate transmission outside the main teachings" were slaves.
In the Void Realm, slave owners are few, but certainly not nonexistent.
For example, this Sangji Guru!
As a esoteric Buddhist master, his cultivation level is similar to that of a Dao Foundation cultivator. He also has five bright sons and bright consorts. No matter who he is dealing with, he will gang up on them all together. It is really difficult for anyone who is not a Purple Mansion cultivator to resist him.
More importantly, even if Fang Qing uses his external alchemy power, magic treasures, and many other treasures and secret techniques to kill this person unexpectedly, so what?
This would only increase the hatred and vigilance of the Wuxiang Temple. If they sent another Dharma King, equivalent to the Purple Mansion level, Fang Qing would really be unable to go to the ancient Shu region.
The best course of action would be to reach an agreement with this person—so that I can continue to lord it over others while still cloaked in the skin of the Secret Realm.
"Of course, that's impossible—that Miao Huo once got drunk and said he wanted me to break through my destiny or something—clearly, I'm very important to that Sangji Guru."
This can be seen from the fact that after the other side sent out one Mystic Fire Bright Child, they subsequently sent out two Bright Children and Bright Consorts.
So—is the best approach still to stall? To wait and see how things develop?
"Should we launch occasional raids to gather more intelligence on Sangji?"
If life in ancient Shu becomes unbearable, then they will have no choice but to risk relocating.
Fang Qing had considered running away, but the geographical location of ancient Shu was too unique.
To the west lies the Secret Realm, which is tantamount to walking into a trap. To the south are the Yin Corpse Sect and the Ten Thousand Mountains, and to the north are the Demon Clan and the Hu people, who are also said to be causing trouble at this time.
To the east lies the Hehuan Sect!
In ancient Shu, cultivators would curse others by wishing them to run into a demoness from the Hehuan Sect!
"Looking around—it's all demons and monsters!"
Unless one crosses the territory of the Hehuan Sect and enters the domain of the Taiyi Xuanmen orthodox sect—which is quite difficult, and very difficult for anyone other than a Purple Mansion cultivator to do.
Therefore, Fang Qing did not want to run away unless absolutely necessary.
"Fine—let's play with that Sangji for a while, strike first, cut off one of his arms, and gather intelligence along the way—"
Fang Qing stroked the jade slip containing the "Black Mystic Scripture," his eyes filled with a deep, mysterious light.
Ancient Shu.
Fang Qing appeared quietly and transformed into the Dao foundation of "Ji Shui Jiu Gan Lin".
"It's been so long since I've felt so weak."
He looked at his own hands and couldn't help but sigh.
Water-element cultivators are in a terrible situation in the ancient Shu region. They can't beat anyone of the same cultivation level and can only bully lower-level cultivators.
"If it were Wei Linfeng, it would be better, but Jiu Ganlin," a Dao Foundation cultivator specializing in logistics, is probably considered an outsider among Water Virtue cultivators. Fang Qing complained again: "The only consolation is that using the 'Shadowless Escape of Xunfeng' is very smooth, better than when using the 'Azure Sea Technique,' only slightly worse than Wei Linfeng."
His transformation into the initial Dao foundation naturally deepened the impression of the White Bone Dao.
Although other masters may not have the same status as me, possessing the ability to watch the live stream with the Dao Sheng Zhu—but since they are controlling the true spirit of the Five Bright Children, they must have a way of contacting each other—so I must keep a disguise and not reveal my trump card.
However, defeating a mere Mystic Fire Child doesn't really require any trump cards.
As a legitimate Dao Foundation cultivator, even a pathetic Water Virtue cultivator can still look down on Mingzi!
Fang Qing took a step and came to a swamp.
The area was a muddy mess, filled with foul-smelling water.
He paused, and then saw the foul water gurgling up, revealing a human head.
The head, with its aged and grotesque appearance, belonged to Xu Hei.
"Young master—this old servant is using this place to hide and conceal my presence."
Xu Hei laughed in a hoarse voice.
"You're... burying your own family?"
Fang Qing glanced at it a few times, somewhat surprised.
This ancient Shu road magic is indeed mysterious. Xu Hei buried himself here. If he hadn't already grasped the true spirit of this person, he might have overlooked it even if he were just passing by.
"Hehe—just a trivial trick. 'Female Soil,' also known as 'Corpse Soil' or 'Buried Soil,' is extremely beneficial for such methods of feigning death."
Xu Hei pulled himself out of the swamp, then looked puzzled: "This old servant observes that the White Bone Dao Master, it seems he also cultivates [Female Earth] — please be careful, young master."
"【Female Earth】? Never mind—anyway, it's not the Metal or Fire path."
If it is such a distinguished lineage, one might be able to form the Core Formation at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Earth is weaker after all, so Fang Qing still has some confidence.
If he's unlucky enough to encounter someone who cultivates the Great Sun, then he'll have to consider crossing the Hehuan Sect.
"Alright, tell me about this Wonderful Fire Seed first—"
He waved.
"Yes—this Miao Huo Mingzi is greedy, angry, and ignorant, possessing all three poisons—he drinks strong liquor and eats large pieces of meat every day, sleeps with several women at night, and has a crude personality—even Miao Feng Mingzi and Qing Jing Mingfei dislike him quite a bit, and he often acts alone. However, this old servant has discovered that this person particularly likes the strong liquor of a certain mortal restaurant, and he goes there every few days to drink his fill—"
Xu Hei respectfully reports.
"Hmm—you did a good job."
Fang Qing, as was his habit, tossed down a few bottles of pills, somewhat surprised: "With your cultivation level, you're almost at the Qi Conquest Perfection stage, aren't you?"
Xu Hei grinned, revealing a set of yellowed and blackened teeth: "I must thank you for the elixir bestowed upon me by the young master—I would be content with achieving perfect Qi in this life."
