Chapter 851: Chapter 740: The Art of Avoiding Calamity
"Even so, a True Immortal of Origin Soul is merely a Human Immortal, not as good as an Earth Immortal like me..."
Fang Xi curled his lips and returned his gaze to the ’Three Corpse Nascent Secret Skills.’
After contemplating them, he had roughly grasped their essence.
The essence of this secret skill was to utilize ’Three Corpse Jade,’ ’Heavenly Yin Pill,’ and other such exotic treasures and spiritual pills to at the moment of ’Returning to Emptiness’ completion, attempt to transform one’s Nascent Soul.
Transform the originally complete ’Returning to Emptiness’ Nascent Soul into a ’Three Corpse Nascent’!
Such a ’Three Corpse Nascent’ would possess semi-physical characteristics, and if one were to cultivate this secret skill before breaking through the Integration bottleneck, it would naturally reduce the difficulty of the bottleneck by a great deal.
"But it’s only useful for breaking through the bottleneck... After the breakthrough, during the Great Tribulation of Integration and the Heart Demon Tribulation, it has absolutely no effect..."
"If one is not well-prepared, even achieving Integration, they will still be struck dead by lightning!"
"However, seeing Old Qiao looking the way he did, without this secret skill, he couldn’t even break through the Integration bottleneck..."
Fang Xi silently contemplated the secret skill in the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm, and also flipped through Old Qiao’s Storage Bag, discovering that this person had already been consciously collecting the primary ingredients to concoct the ’Heavenly Yin Pill.’
By now, he had already gathered around sixty to seventy percent of them.
’If it’s concocted, coupled with the secret skill, it should sell for a good amount of Immortal Jade...’
’But who knows what traps lie within the breakthrough secret method given by the Monster Clan.’
Fang Xi silently arrived at the dongfu and continued to draw talismans.
Nowadays, his progress on Phoenix Seal Symbol was advancing rapidly, while in the Dragon Chapter Script, it was quite ordinary.
Even though he recently migrated the Huixie clan and ordered them to continue offering Golden Cicada Shedding, allowing him to refine Time Talisman Paper continuously, it remained the same.
Time and Space, as the two most profound laws of the Earth Immortal Realm, weren’t just difficult to comprehend; even beginner-level entry was extremely hard.
Fang Xi had the advantage of the ’Treasures of All Heavens,’ which allowed him to constantly sense the operation of the void’s origin, making strides in the way of the void, even surpassing the Integration-level Heavenly Phoenix.
As for the Dragon Chapter Script, however, it was not so easy to cheat.
He remained in the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm, mingling for a while, and also visited another cultivation marketplace.
Helpless, due to the great war between humans and demons and the upheaval in the Star Domain, the marketplace had already declined. Even the once bustling streets and brothels were scarcely populated, which made him feel quite helpless.
...
Moon Invitation Immortal City.
Fang Xi held a string of prayer beads and transformed into a golden Escape Light, landing on Lake Heart Island.
Before long, a streak of crimson Escape Light surged forth, revealing itself to be Chi Songzi.
"Sir, it is wonderful to see you unharmed."
Upon seeing Fang Xi, a hint of joy flashed across Chi Songzi’s face.
"Fairy Shi, Sir, and Elder Tong, how are they?" Fang Xi asked calmly.
"After we parted that day, although Fairy Shi and I encountered Returning to Emptiness enemies and were ambushed, we managed to shake off the enemy and return to Moon Invitation Immortal City..."
Mentioning this, Chi Songzi’s expression suddenly darkened: "As for Elder Tong, he was targeted by that Kunpeng and perished, his soul dispersed... not even his Nascent Soul escaped."
"Is that so?"
Hearing the follow-up to that day’s events, Fang Xi couldn’t help feeling moved: "Does this mean that our mission has failed?"
"Not at all, on the day of the meeting Elder Tong secretly handed his Storage Bag to me for safekeeping, and the goods have already been successfully transported to Moon Invitation Immortal City!"
Chi Songzi’s face showed a hint of hatred: "The Sky Demon Association and Old Qiao... My immortal city will never let this matter rest!"
’It seems... very likely that these materials are the raw ingredients for refining top-grade Puppets...’
Fang Xi thought to himself as he watched the scene, a guess forming in his mind.
At this moment, however, Chi Songzi took the initiative to say: "Sir, Fairy Shi has shown great kindness, and our city can hardly repay it. Here is the compensation we had previously agreed upon."
With those words, he handed over a jade bottle and a brocade pouch.
Fang Xi took the jade bottle, only to see a snow-white pill inside, resembling a bright, full moon.
In the brocade pouch, however, there were double the amount of Immortal Jade than previously agreed upon, which must have been the promise Chi Songzi made earlier.
"This Flying Void Pill, indeed, does not disappoint!"
Fang Xi smiled faintly and stowed the pill away.
Chi Songzi was taken aback, and then earnestly said: "Previously, I also promised that no matter what method you used, the immortal city will return the original amount in full. May I ask how much the three Array Talismans and the Array-Breaking Cone are worth?"
"Ah, about that..."
Fang Xi smiled faintly and named a figure that shocked Chi Songzi.
"That... Please, Sir, give me a moment to discuss this again with the elders."
After a short while, Chi Songzi wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and fled in a hurry.
Seeing this, Fang Xi couldn’t help but laugh.
As long as the immortal city’s upper echelons weren’t fools, they could basically guess that he was adept at arrays, and it was even possible that both the Array Talismans and the Array-Breaking Cone were crafted by the Wang Family Ancestor.
The more so, the more urgent it was to retain him, a high-level talent, during this crisis.
But it was just a small amount of Immortal Jade after all, and in the end, they would definitely give it.
"And with this ’Flying Void Pill,’ showing off the mid-Returning to Emptiness cultivation stage in the future will become a matter of course."
Fang Xi flipped the jade bottle in his hand, contemplative.
The pill was not even essential for the outer incarnation to use.
But whether he would trade it with his peers or sell it directly in the future, it was going to be extremely valuable, and all his trouble would not be in vain.
...
Time flies.
Thirty years passed in the blink of an eye.
Sky Brahman Domain.
The Wild Lands.
