Chapter 71, Mid-Grade (Congratulations to the Nightlight Alliance Leader of Daylight!)
"Young master?"
On a white jade flying boat, Qin Ruxue looked at the young master with some curiosity.
Although Fang Qing came to provide support, he was not moving very fast.
"arrive."
Suddenly, he stopped the flying boat, formed hand seals, and his aura instantly became almost imperceptible: "Conceal your aura with talismans, proceed with caution—"
Sure enough, not long after, Qin Ruxue saw a mutilated corpse on the sea.
"This person seems to be Hu Fan, Senior Brother Hu?"
Qin Ruxue made a hand seal, and a stream of magic power lifted the corpse and suspended it in mid-air, allowing Fang Qing to clearly see Hu Fan's unwilling face and empty eyes.
This person was clearly cut in half at the waist, with only a shallow white mark on the wound, which felt warm to the touch.
"Hiss—such powerful chilling energy, so extremely cold, yet so incredibly restrained—this—this seems to have surpassed Foundation Establishment techniques, and is now at the third tier—Ice Soul Profound Light?!"
Qin Ruxue was startled: "Could it be that the Zhong family patriarch, Zhong Xuanli, has come in person?"
"It shouldn't be, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a hurry—they didn't even have time to search Senior Brother Hu's storage bag."
Fang Qing shook his head, and a blue glowing light enveloped a storage bag, which flew to his front.
Upon opening it, one would find dozens of mid-grade spirit stones, a stack of talismans, pills—and a white bone banner!
"Hmm? It's actually the Ten Soul Banner? That's already at the mid-grade spiritual weapon level, right?"
He unfurled the Ten Soul Banner, looked at the thirteen second-tier demonic beast spirit imprints on it, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Thank you for the gift, Senior Brother—"
This item belongs to a senior brother in our sect; it's not appropriate to take it out directly.
But once back, Fang Qing planned to immediately use his own soul banner to devour all the essence in the other party's banner. In this way, even if it wasn't done without anyone noticing, at least he wouldn't be easily discovered, and even if he was discovered, he would have a way to argue his case.
Qin Ruxue continued forward and saw several more corpses of Zhong family cultivators, which also contained storage bags and spiritual artifacts.
"A red dot between the eyebrows, with charred edges—I recognize this wound. It should be Elder Tianxing's Purple Lightning Needle. This needle is a top-grade complete set of spiritual artifacts and is Elder Tianxing's famous treasure."
Qin Ruxue analyzed.
"A top-grade flying needle magical weapon—no wonder these Zhong family cultivators were caught off guard. But it seems that Elder Tianxing has met his match."
Fang Qing sighed, "This is still putting the best on the surface."
After all, judging from the situation at the scene, it is more likely that Elder Tianxing fled in panic.
"And what about us?"
Qin Ruxue was already considering leaving.
After all, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator can kill an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Elder Tianxing, who was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, was now fleeing in disarray! The level of danger he represented was truly terrifying.
"keep going."
Fang Qing's heart stirred, and several plum blossom petals fell, transforming into a divination symbol.
He glanced at it and said with certainty.
The further they went, the more they could feel the two terrifying fluctuations of magical power.
"This—this is—"
Suddenly, a glint of light appeared in Qin Ruxue's eyes as she saw a snow-white spiritual pearl clashing with a small crimson sword amidst the swirling snow!
The spiritual energy emanating from both sides was so strong that it even faintly exceeded the limits of the Foundation Establishment stage!
"It's a talisman!?"
The zither's appearance changed like snowflakes.
"I never expected to witness such a grand spectacle of talisman treasures clashing against each other—"
Fang Qing held a concealment talisman in his hand, a slight smile appearing on his face.
"Haha—Old devil Tianxing, have you run out of tricks?"
Chung Ling-hsiu, with her white hair flowing, looked like an old demon, laughing heartily.
At first, he casually killed a few Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Azure Sea Sect. When he caught up with Tian Xing, he was preparing to annihilate this remaining enemy.
Unexpectedly, the other party pulled out a "Fire Element Sword" talisman, which startled him.
Clearly, Elder Tianxing also possessed a talisman, but he held back, watching him slaughter the disciples of the Azure Sea Sect, intending to strike him unexpectedly and severely injure him!
However, Zhong Lingxiu was a genius in combat and managed to block the sneak attack of the Fire Element Sword at the last second, suffering only minor injuries.
Both sides were clashing with their respective magical artifacts, and were already at their limit!
"A talisman? Could it be that the southwest region holds some other meaning?"
Fang Qing's eyes lit up, but he was also secretly reminded that he couldn't predict everything with his divination. If he really encountered this situation, he still needed to be careful.
Otherwise, you'll be ruined by the divination sooner or later!
After surveying the battlefield and understanding the situation, he gave Qin Ruxue a wink. The woman immediately took out several second-tier talismans, tore them apart, and bolts of lightning appeared, striking towards Zhong Lingxiu.
As he cast the second-tier talisman, Fang Qing pressed his brow.
The divine power of the Vajra Pestle erupted suddenly, striking into Zhong Lingxiu's sea of consciousness.
Zhong Lingxiu let out a muffled groan, and a blinding white light erupted from her ice armor, melting away the lightning.
Splash!
As he was distracted, the Ice Soul Pearl's attack inevitably slowed down, and the Fire Element Sword erupted fiercely, with flames raging. A layer of heavenly fire suddenly broke through the Ice Soul Profound Light's defense, causing the ends of his white hair to curl slightly.
"Tch—there are reinforcements?"
Zhong Lingxiu glanced at Tian Xing with some regret, then raised her hand and summoned the Ice Soul Pearl, formed from the talisman, which landed above her head and escorted him away.
"There's no need to chase after them."
Elder Tianxing sighed and raised his hand to retrieve his own Fire Element Sword Talisman.
But after the crimson talisman was in his hand, it flashed with light and suddenly turned into ashes.
Upon seeing this, Elder Tianxing's eyes showed a hint of regret.
"Senior Brother Tianxing."
Fang Qing removed his disguise and stepped forward with Qin Ruxue: "We were hunting demons nearby when we received a rescue jade talisman and came to provide assistance—what's this?"
"Alas—it's a pity we failed to capture Zhong Lingxiu this time. This boy will surely become a great enemy of our sect in the future!"
Elder Tianxing sighed.
"Senior brother, you are at the late Foundation Establishment stage and possess talismanic treasures, yet you still couldn't subdue this person?" Qin Ruxue was somewhat surprised.
"My Fire Element Sword is a fire-attribute talisman, which is incompatible with my lightning-attribute cultivation technique. Moreover, it has been used many times and its power is almost exhausted. — The Ice Soul Pearl talisman in Zhong Lingxiu's hand was forged by that old ghost Zhong at the cost of his own natal magic weapon. Their cultivation techniques are of the same origin, and both are brand new talismans. — Although I am very reluctant to admit it, if we had continued to be deadlocked just now, and my talisman's power had been exhausted, I would probably be in grave danger."
Elder Tianxing sighed, "Alright, let's go to the spirit ship immediately, take the other disciples, and return to the sect."
After a while.
On the wrecked spirit ship.
Fang Qing glanced around and found that there were still a few Foundation Establishment cultivators and some Qi Refining disciples remaining.
He actually knew one of them quite well.
"Senior Brother Cui."
"Junior Brother Fang————"
Cui Zhe's face was ashen, and he was exhaling cold air as he spoke, clearly indicating that he had suffered a serious injury.
"I have a second-tier Yangxuan Pill here. Please accept it, Senior Brother."
Fang Qing didn't refine so many pills for nothing; he casually took out a high-quality Yangxuan Pill.
These pills come in both first and second tiers. Fang Qing received the same task and secretly kept a few for his own use, but now they come in handy.
"Thank you————"
Cui Zhe glanced at the pill, thanked him, and swallowed it directly.
Elder Tianxing remained silent as he maneuvered the spirit ship, making no inquiries about the storage bags belonging to the Zhong family cultivators.
I don't know if she thought Zhong Lingxiu had taken her away, or if she simply didn't care about these things.
a few days later.
Inside the cave on Little White Island.
The fact that I managed to scare Zhong Lingxiu away this time was partly due to luck—if I had run into him while hunting demons, I might not have been able to defeat him—I might have ended up fleeing for my life.
"A talisman—it's truly a wonderful thing."
Fang Qing sat cross-legged, his thoughts wandering.
Immediately afterwards, he calmed his mind, took out Hu Fan's "Ten Soul Banner" spiritual artifact, and cast a series of spells.
Click!
A crack suddenly appeared on this magical artifact, and a large amount of black energy surged out, within which a Xuan Turtle spirit was roaring towards the sky.
-
"go!"
Fang Qing made a hand seal, and a talisman sealed the crack. He then took out his own Soul Banner artifact, and strands of black rope extended, binding the Xuan Turtle's spirit. The spirits of the Sea-Breaking Swallow and the Giant Bone Fish appeared, beginning to suppress the Xuan Turtle.
After completely sealing the black tortoise, he began to repeat the process—
Several days later, Hu Fan's mid-grade spiritual artifact had completely lost its luster and turned into a pile of rotten bones.
The soul banner in Fang Qing's hand was pure white and crystal clear, radiating the magical power fluctuations of a mid-grade spiritual artifact.
"Not bad, not bad—"
Fang Qing put away the upgraded Ten Soul Banner and walked out of the secluded cultivation room.
Inside the cave, Qin Ruxue was refining a set of array flags. Upon seeing Fang Qing, her eyes lit up: "Young Master—the sect has already awarded you two major merits for this rescue!"
This kind of merit is not comparable to contribution points, but rather a kind of privilege that can be exchanged for more treasures suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators.
For example, elixirs that can break through bottlenecks —
"Not bad, comparable to the harvest from hunting several second-tier demonic beasts."
Fang Qing, as was his habit, considered the matter for a moment and nodded slightly.
He only took action to upgrade his own soul banner; saving Tianxing was just a side effect, but outsiders didn't know that.
"By the way, Senior Brother Cui Zhe visited once before and brought a gift box."
When Qin Ruxue mentioned Cui Zhe, her expression was somewhat strange. She clearly hadn't expected that this sword cultivator, who was known for his simple emotions, would actually give her a gift!
"They should be thanking me for saving their lives; sword cultivators like this dislike owing favors the most."
Fang Qing took the gift box, opened it, and was taken aback.
Inside the gift box were several broken, strange artifacts, covered with intricate patterns and faintly emanating spiritual energy.
"This seems to be... the core of a second-tier puppet's remains?"
Qin Ruxue was taken aback, but then recognized it: "Tianxin Linked Island is good at making puppets, and if a second-order puppet is to be operated as desired, or even to complete commands on its own, it also needs to be refined into a second-order demon soul. During the war that destroyed Tianxin Linked Island, Senior Brother Cui should have gained quite a lot. It is just right to refine it into the Soul Banner to enhance its power."
"This gift is quite thoughtful."
Fang Qing nodded, quite satisfied: "It's the same on Tianxin Linked Islands. The Zhong family certainly won't waste their essence after hunting sea beasts—it seems I can speed up the progress of my 'Hundred Soul Banner' even further—"
