Chapter 846: Chapter 737 Missions and Spies_2
"Exactly!"
Fang Xi replied as if it were a matter of course, "But I’m afraid those old monsters with little life left, even if they drink poison to quench their thirst, will still chase after a glimmer of hope!"
"Alas..."
Chi Songzi sighed and suddenly stood up, bowing deeply to the ground.
"Why would Friend Chi Songzi offer such a grand gesture?"
Startled, Fang Xi quickly helped him up.
"Alas, in consideration of our many years of acquaintance, I implore you to come out of seclusion just once!"
Chi Songzi spoke with a strained voice, "The elders of Moon Invitation Immortal City who are in the Returning to Emptiness stage each have their responsibilities and truly cannot spare any manpower... The city has a critical mission recently, one that concerns the rise and fall of the city. Although I am involved, I am not very confident..."
"It couldn’t be an act of revenge against the Sky Demon Association to snatch back that batch of resources, could it?"
Fang Xi guessed and asked.
If it was such a mission, he would definitely refuse directly.
To risk his life and death for a faction out of spite?
"Not to that extent..."
Chi Songzi waved his hands frantically, "The Sky Demon Association has become too powerful now. Our branch from the Star Domain cannot oppose them with all our might... We can only take this loss."
"This time it is also because among the lost caravan from last time, there were a few important resources that need to be transported again..."
Looking into his eyes, he seemed quite sincere.
Strictly speaking, there seemed to be only two or three elders in the late stage of Returning to Emptiness in Moon Invitation Immortal City, which included Master Dongqiuzi.
Now that they had been plundered by the Sky Demon Association, to admit loss was normal.
But Fang Xi knew that Moon Invitation Immortal City had more cards up its sleeve.
Not to mention other things, once Dongqiuzi’s two Quasi-seventh level Dragon and Phoenix Puppets were completed, this group of Sky Demon spies could be wiped out easily.
’However, if the Dragon and Phoenix Puppets were revealed, it would be best to annihilate them completely, otherwise it might pull the hatred of the Sky Demon Association from the nearby territories...’
’Speaking of which, the Monster Clan seems to have quite a lot of good stuff... Compared to the human race, where resources are exchanged, if I can open a space coordinate with the Monster Clan and the Demon Clan, the wealth will come rolling in!’
Fang Xi thought of something else.
Although transportation between the 99 territories of the human race is inconvenient, thereby allowing for buying low and selling high, there is a limit.
But if trade routes could be established between the Monster Clan and the Demon Clan, the profits would be enormous.
Not to mention cultivating Integration cultivators, even amassing resources for an assault on the Mahayana Period might be possible.
’To prepare for a great war and to maximize my strength, I’ve already expended Immortal Jade to accelerate the progress of the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm...’
’But the Immortal Jade I’ve previously earned is starting to run low...’
The financially embarrassed Fang Xi had begun to plan in his mind.
"With the miraculous nature of my Triphasic Destroying Origin Skill, impersonating members of the Monster Clan or Demon Clan shouldn’t be a problem... Once I enter the territories of the Demonic Beasts, and establish trade routes... Immortal Jade will naturally pour in."
"Only, there are still some risks."
"If all else fails, I’ll have the Heterodox Incarnation take care of it... Initally opening up the Demon Clan’s trade route should be profitable enough."
...
"What do you think, Sir?"
As Fang Xi was contemplating his grand money-making scheme, Chi Songzi asked with a face full of anticipation.
’For someone who can earn tens or hundreds of Immortal Jade in a matter of minutes, why would I risk my life for your trivial matter?’
Fang Xi inwardly criticized.
Nevertheless, as the Wang Family Ancestor, his character had to appear financially strained.
After all, by staying put and not venturing out, naturally, he wouldn’t accumulate much Immortal Jade.
The little that remained was exchanged for by the Wang family with their lives in overseas Immortal Mansions
Logically speaking, if there is a high-risk, high-reward, short-term mission, the Wang Family Ancestor should not refuse.
"This transport mission is quite dangerous, one careless move and we might confront the Sky Demon Association..."
Fang Xi’s face showed hesitation.
Seeing this, Chi Songzi internally shouted with joy, thinking there might be a chance, and revealed a gentle smile, "In addition to the reward of Immortal Jade for this mission, the city is also willing to offer a ’Flying Void Pill’..."
"Oh?"
Fang Xi’s eyes lit up, "Is it that renowned ’Flying Void Pill’ known as one of the three most useful Spiritual Pills for breaking through the mid-stage of Returning to Emptiness?"
"Exactly..."
Chi Songzi said, "How does that sound to you?"
"Since you ask with such generosity, I, too, must be willing to brave the dangers with you, gentlemen."
Fang Xi pinched the prayer beads in his hand and answered calmly.
...
Several days later.
At a mountain ridge outside Moon Invitation Immortal City, Chi Songzi and a Returning to Emptiness cultivator were waiting.
This cultivator exuded an aura that was around the mid-stage of Returning to Emptiness, a female cultivator whose every frown and smile were laced with a unique allure.
"For this task, we only need to meet and assist ’Tong Dao You’ who is rushing here from a foreign territory!"
Chi Songzi exclaimed with a beaming smile, "We have to thank Fairy Shi for her help!"
This ’Shi Xianzi,’ or Fairy Shi, also a guest cultivator of Moon Invitation Immortal City, had inherited her abilities from a senior and was in the lineage of the renowned ’Thousand-Flower Fairy’ from the Star Domain, who once wielded the ’Thousand-Flower Treasure Mirror’ and had made a formidable name in the Cultivation World.
The sheer effort it took for Moon Invitation Immortal City to persuade Fairy Shi to take action was immense.
"I’ve heard that Friend Wang will also be going?"
Fairy Shi changed the subject.
Chi Songzi felt helpless inside, knowing this was Fairy Shi’s way of expressing her displeasure.
After all, as a mid-stage Returning to Emptiness cultivator, it was beneath her to wait for someone in the early stage.
Feeling compelled, he could only acknowledge, "Indeed, it was I who insisted... If we can have one more friend join, we will have a greater chance of success."
"The mission seems very important to the city, considering that after the loss of Fairy Chen, Tong Dao You was dispatched so quickly..."
