Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 379 Trading

Tianxin Island.

"That person hasn't emerged from seclusion yet?"

Cui Zhe looked at the Bihai Sect disciple who had come to report, feeling a surge of irritation: "Step back..."

"yes!"

That Foundation Establishment disciple was originally a powerful figure on Tianxin Island, wielding considerable influence, but now he could only slink away in disgrace.

Cui Zhe still looked middle-aged, with a mustache. As the Supreme Elder of the Azure Sea Sect, he was filled with sorrow: "How did he suddenly reach the Nascent Soul stage? And Junior Sister Qin and Junior Brother Xiang are both determined to back down... They only said they wanted to find Senior Brother Fang. Even if Senior Brother Fang is doing very well in the cultivation world of the East Sea, at most, he's probably only at the late Core Formation stage, right?"

He was well aware of the difficulties of cultivation at the Core Formation stage; otherwise, he wouldn't still be at the early Core Formation stage.

The estimate that Fang Qing is in the late stage of Core Formation is already being lenient.

"Even if Senior Brother Fang comes back, it's no use. I can only hope that person won't go on a killing spree..."

Cui Zhe sighed inwardly.

His information on Zhan Hongxiu had naturally been laid out before him long ago.

Xiao Huanhai was born into a family of independent cultivators who practiced in the Sancai Marketplace back then...

The key point is... that every time he took sides, it seemed to be the opposite of his own Bihaimen!

When Zhong Lingxiu returned, this person sided with the Zhong family and became an enemy of the Bihai Sect. When Zhong Lingxiu retreated to the East China Sea, he boarded the spirit boat with her.

If that were all, he would have run away long ago.

Fortunately, the other party returned once after reaching the Core Formation stage and even exchanged a spot in the secret realm from Senior Brother Fang...

It seems they've made peace with us?

Cui Zhe once suggested that Fang Qing kill Zhan Hongxiu and seize all of her gains.

At this moment, I don't know if I feel regret or lingering fear...

"Sigh... I regret it so much."

He let out a soft sigh.

"Regret what?"

A voice suddenly rang out beside Cui Zhe.

Then, Cui Zhe met an unexpected person.

"Senior Brother Fang?"

Cui Zhe rubbed his eyes, confirming it wasn't a hallucination from his own inner demons: "Why did you suddenly appear? Oh no... Zhan Hongxiu is now a Nascent Soul stage monster, Senior Brother, you should avoid her for now... If she insists on destroying the Azure Sea Sect, remember to avenge your junior brother after you reach the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Ahem!"

Fang Qing coughed and said loudly, "Fellow Daoist Zhan... An old friend has come to visit, please grant me an audience."

His voice was slow and deliberate, carrying throughout the entire Tianxin Island.

Outside Zhan Hongxiu's cave, a fourth-order grand formation suddenly activated, clearing a path: "So it's Fellow Daoist Fang... Please!"

"Um?"

Cui Zhe was shocked. He had been waiting outside for months, but the man wouldn't even bother to see him.

When his own senior brother arrived, he actually stepped forward directly?

"Fellow Daoist?"

Cui Zhe suddenly thought of the tradition in the cultivation world of determining seniority by cultivation level, and his eyes widened involuntarily: "Senior Brother Fang... no, Uncle Fang, Senior Uncle... you... you've reached the Nascent Soul stage?"

Fang Qing chuckled and stepped into the formation.

This tacit acceptance immediately silenced Cui Zhe: "Two Nascent Soul cultivators in a hundred years? Is my Little Universe Immortal Cultivation World truly so blessed with outstanding people? Or does the East Sea Immortal Cultivation World really possess such an extraordinary opportunity?"

For a moment, he felt a pang of sadness, regretting that he hadn't ventured into the cultivation world of the East Sea in his youth...

……

"Fellow Daoist, please!"

Zhan Hongxiu personally brewed a cup of spiritual tea for Fang Qing: "This younger sister will offer tea in place of wine to thank you for saving me on several occasions..."

Her expression was calm, indicating that she already knew that "Bai Jianfeng" was actually Island Master Fang, and that she was also aware of Fang Qing's previous attempts to conceal his identity and deceive her.

But at this moment, Zhan Hongxiu's face was calm and her eyes were innocent, as if she intended to let bygones be bygones with Fang Qing.

"Um."

Fang Qing took the spirit tea, took a casual sip, and placed it on the table.

The Nascent Soul Old Monster has a lifespan of a thousand years. The few minor incidents he experienced before are indeed nothing. Perhaps hundreds of years later, they will still be precious memories that bring a smile to one's face.

Those Nascent Soul stage veterans who have been around for years are the same; they prioritize profit!

"This woman probably wants to discuss something important with me...it should be beneficial to me as well."

Fang Qing had naturally consulted the oracle before arriving, and now a thought struck him as he heard Zhan Hongxiu say, "Although we are at the Nascent Soul stage and enjoy a thousand-year lifespan, time is fleeting. Fellow Daoist, do you have any thoughts of reaching the Deity stage?"

"Of course!"

He smiled and released a wisp of magical energy.

Zhan Hongxiu's pupils contracted instantly. In her sea of ​​consciousness, the old tortoise's sighing voice echoed: "Mid-stage Nascent Soul? Not even a newly advanced mid-stage Nascent Soul? Alas… I'm afraid even if you were willing to give me your full assistance, you wouldn't be able to do anything to this brat."

"Brother Dao's cultivation is incredibly rapid; I admire you greatly." Zhan Hongxiu's tone softened considerably. "With your talent, I believe you'll find it difficult to overcome the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul stage, but what about the Deity Transformation stage?"

"Although I am confident that I can cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage, how many great cultivators have there been in the East Sea cultivation world over the past ten thousand years? Yet there has not been a single Deity Transformation cultivator..."

Fang Qing sighed, "Of course I'm not confident. Do you perhaps possess a Nascent Soul stage opportunity?"

His eyes shone brightly as he gazed at Zhan Hongxiu.

"Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms" - Stunning writing style and a thrilling plot!

Zhan Hongxiu smiled sweetly: "Now that the righteous and demonic forces are at war in the East Sea cultivation world, Shuiyue Palace and Leiyin Temple should still have the foundation for Nascent Soul stage cultivation... If that day really comes, the two of us joining forces should be able to get a share of the spoils..."

"Is that all?"

Fang Qing gazed at Zhan Hongxiu, seemingly certain that this woman was extraordinary: "Fellow Daoist, you have overcome countless obstacles, as if you were destined for greatness... Based on my observation, you must have been guided by some important figure, right?"

Although Fang Qing already knew the opponent's trump card and was even using the "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" divine power, he naturally couldn't reveal it.

"He's bluffing you... You're already a Nascent Soul cultivator; even if this person were a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, there's no way he could detect me."

Old Turtle's voice echoed in Zhan Hongxiu's heart.

Zhan Hongxiu's expression remained unchanged: "My sister's advancement has been due to some fortuitous encounters, related to the Zhou Tian Star Palace. And isn't it the same for you, fellow Daoist?"

"Indeed, I benefited greatly from that secret realm on this island. I wonder what the relationship is between the Devouring Sea Demon Sect and the Zhou Tian Star Palace?"

Fang Qing's eyes shone brightly, showing great curiosity about this period of history.

After all, the fact that Zhou Tianxing Palace inherited half of the "Tai Su Jin Shu" is quite remarkable!

He was also very interested in the author of the "Tai Su Jin Shu" (Great Simplicity Golden Book), feeling that he was at least a Golden Elixir True Lord!

In fact, the 'Grandmaster of Taiyi' who founded the Taiyi Xuanmen is highly suspicious...

At this point, one cannot help but suspect that the mysterious disappearance of the "Grand Master Taiyi" might be related to the Primordial Heaven. Is this why half of the "Golden Book of Taisu" was passed down?

"Since its founding by Ancestor Xuantian, the Zhou Tian Star Palace has existed for countless millennia, producing several Nascent Soul Venerables... The 'Sea Devouring Demon Sect' was once a hall within the Zhou Tian Star Palace, named the 'Sea Devouring Hall'... However, more than ten thousand years ago, before the 'Fuyu Venerable' had even reached the Nascent Soul stage, the Hall Master of the Sea Devouring Hall brazenly betrayed the sect and established a separate demonic sect... He even nearly breached the Zhou Tian Star Palace's mountain gate. If it weren't for the activation of a Nascent Soul foundation artifact from the Thunder Sound Hall, the enemy would likely have succeeded..."

Zhan Hongxiu listened to the old turtle's words and silently relayed them: "...Later, Venerable Fuyu achieved the Nascent Soul stage and turned the tide... He destroyed the Devouring Sea Demon Sect, but for some reason, his lifespan was greatly reduced, and he attempted to ascend without making many preparations... It was because of this great chaos that the main branch of the Zhou Tian Star Palace became weak, and the Nascent Soul cultivators ascended too early, leading to the Water Moon Palace and Thunder Sound Temple becoming independent one after another, which is why the Water Moon Palace and Thunder Sound Temple exist today..."

"I see... May I ask who that 'Ancestor Xuantian' was a disciple of?"

Fang Qing was even more curious about this.

"The Mysterious Heavenly God? That's been going on for countless millennia, and most of the sect's records have been destroyed... I really don't know."

Zhan Hongxiu shook her head, then said, "Brother Dao, you seem to be paying close attention to this person. Could it be that you obtained some kind of Star Palace inheritance in the Guixu Secret Realm last time?"

"Indeed, there are some."

Fang Qing nodded: "For example, a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, for example, the jade slip experience left behind by a Nascent Soul cultivator, for example... the coordinates of the ascension passage!"

Zhan Hongxiu's eyes widened immediately.

She was surprised that Fang Qing had used such a trick, and even more surprised that Fang Qing had gained so much in the Guixu Secret Realm last time.

"Ahhh... Little Red, you suffered a huge loss again last time. It seems like every time you encounter this person, you end up getting hurt..."

Within Zhan Hongxiu's sea of ​​consciousness, the old tortoise nearly threw a tantrum: "A Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, Nascent Soul experience, and even ascension coordinates... Heavens above, who exactly is the true successor of the Star Palace? Fine... the Devouring Sea lineage could barely qualify, but they've already betrayed the sect..."

"Brother Dao... you are truly frank... it seems you reaped quite a harvest in the secret realm last time."

Zhan Hongxiu smiled bitterly.

"It wasn't entirely obtained from the secret realm; I also captured that demon..."

Fang Qing smiled slightly, extinguishing the woman's last glimmer of hope.

The reason he was so frank was not only because he had enough strength to suppress everything, but also to tell Zhan Hongxiu that she had no choice and had to make a deal with him!

"Having let her roam free for so long, what tricks can we possibly take from this woman of destiny?"

Zhan Hongxiu took a deep breath, seemingly making up her mind: "Fellow Daoist, have you ever heard of the Divine Transformation Elixir of the Zhou Tian Star Palace?"

"What? Do you have another one?"

Fang Qing asked in surprise.

"The Great Elixir of Nascent Soul has long been exhausted, and there are probably no more True Spirit Kunpengs in the world..." Zhan Hongxiu said with a bitter smile, "I have a pill formula in my hand, which was simplified from the Great Elixir of Nascent Soul by countless alchemy masters of the Zhou Tian Star Palace. If it can be refined, it should have several times the effect of the original. Its name is 'Yuanji Five Saints Pill'... It requires the essence blood of five kinds of fourth-order mid-to-high-grade demon beasts containing True Spirit bloodlines as the main ingredient, supplemented by many rare and precious herbs..."

"Five types of True Spirit bloodlines, and at least fourth-tier mid-grade? Thankfully, it's not true True Spirit blood..."

Fang Qing let out a long breath.

"If it is a true spirit, comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, even we cannot defeat it..."

Zhan Hongxiu shook her head: "I wish to exchange this pill formula, along with some materials... for Nascent Soul experience, but I also require a promise from you!"

"Oh? What promise?"

Fang Qing became interested.

"If one day my little sister successfully ascends to godhood, I will give her the coordinates for ascension."

Zhan Hongxiu looked at Fang Qing and earnestly stated the conditions she had carefully considered.

The Heavenly Treasure is of great use to Nascent Soul cultivators and can directly enhance their strength. Naturally, Elder Turtle and she were envious, but they knew it was impossible to obtain.

The remaining two are equally incredible opportunities, and they won't arouse too much of Fang Qing's resentment.
