Chapter 862: Chapter 745: Immortal Mansion Quota (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes)
After Shi Xianzi left,
Fairy Chen also arrived, informing the Wang Family Ancestor of the insider news of this campaign.
Watching the crisscrossing Escape Lights, Fang Xi couldn’t help but feel helpless.
Barely managing to deal with the two fairies, he immediately returned to Lake Heart Island to go into seclusion.
Within the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm,
Wood Charm Spirits and Silver Bean Dao Soldiers were diligently plowing the fields, cultivating Spirit Rice.
"Actually, just the annual yield of Spirit Rice from the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm is worth quite a few top-grade Spirit Stones... This Jade Void Rice is in high demand and low supply in Moon Invitation Immortal City."
Fang Xi sighed.
However, in the Earth Immortal Realm, while it’s easy to exchange Immortal Jade for top-grade Spirit Stones, it’s much harder to do the reverse.
’The rarity of Immortal Jade lies in the need to mine it from within the Immortal Mansion Secret Realms... Even the Taiyin Secret Realm has very little...’
With Fang Xi’s nature, he had naturally scoured the secret realms already and didn’t find any Immortal Jade mines.
The overseas Immortal Mansion had already been picked clean, nowadays at best a few scraps could be turned over.
"Only a real large-scale Immortal Mansion Secret Realm would be a good place to mine Immortal Jade..."
"If I had a large amount of Immortal Jade, my cultivation could skyrocket..."
Compared to buying low and selling high, risking being discovered, having an undiscovered Immortal Mansion to freely mine Immortal Jade would obviously be more ideal.
Fang Xi sighed, no longer indulging in wishful thinking, and went to the Spiritual Medicine Garden.
He sat cross-legged in front of the Dragon Blood Phoenix Marrow Flower and began to cultivate the ’True Body of Sky Demon’!
Currently, Fang Xi’s practice of the Kuyong Skills was akin to being on autopilot, with progress being made every day.
Therefore, he had quite a bit of free time, which he could use to delve into the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation and Body Refining techniques.
Inhale... Exhale...
As Fang Xi silently circulated his cultivation technique, streams of crimson energy were absorbed from where the two Dragon Phoenix intertwined within the blossom of the ’Dragon Blood Phoenix Marrow Flower’, and he inhaled it into his nostrils.
With each absorption, the Dragon Blood Phoenix Marrow Flower seemed to wilt a bit.
On Fang Xi’s body, Dragon Phoenix tattoos sprang vividly to life, looking like a phoenix spreading its wings, a True Dragon coiling...
The sound of Dragon and Phoenix increased his Body Refining progress by leaps and bounds.
Time passed unknowingly.
Fang Xi stood up, feeling the breakthrough of his True Body of Sky Demon, and couldn’t help but feel greatly satisfied: "My body now... is not far off from those Quasi-seventh-order puppets..."
"In the future, it might even be comparable to a seventh-level Monster Beast!"
"When sprinting for the Integration bottleneck... if I have such a body..."
"Uh... it seems my Earth Immortal Heritage doesn’t emphasize this, the True Body of Sky Demon mainly boosts battle power..."
He glanced at the slightly wilted Dragon Blood Phoenix Marrow Flower and with a flick of his sleeve,
Streams of the Mother Qi of All Woods appeared, wrapping around the flower, beginning to nourish it.
This was also one of the methods Fang Xi learned to repeatedly utilize such unique flowers and herbs after he improved his Spirit Plant Farmer skills.
With the use of ’Mother Qi of All Woods’ and the auspiciousness of the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm, as long as not too much is harvested each time, it should be sustainable.
"I wonder how my physique now compares to the Dragon and Phoenix Puppets, which are the trump cards of Moon Invitation Immortal City?"
Fang Xi put on a green robe, and left the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm.
His face shimmered, automatically transforming into the image of the Wang Family Ancestor.
"Ancestor!"
Above Lake Heart Island, there were now many more cultivators.
Among them, many were from the Li Family.
Through generations of marriage, they were basically like one family with the Wangs.
"I’m going to visit the elders in the city, carry on as you will..."
Fang Xi instructed, then transformed into a streak of light, arriving at Chi Songzi’s Dongfu.
...
Under the ancient pines and cypresses.
"Alas... Although this sortie shook the four directions, it was not entirely successful; I am filled with regret...
Chi Songzi poured a cup of Spiritual Tea for Fang Xi, sighing deeply.
"Now that the Immortal City has an Array and Quasi-seventh-order Puppets for protection, even Integrating cultivators would find it hard to conquer us normally... At this time of turmoil, with a large number of Immortal Cultivation powers pledging allegiance, we could faintly stand on par with the Star Sect."
Fang Xi commended.
"It is precisely because of this that we now have woes!"
Chi Songzi said, "Our city still lacks a real Integrating cultivator to be stationed here... Our own strength is insufficient, ultimately not enough to compete with the Star Sect, and attracting their suspicion is not a good thing... Therefore, the Great Elder has already gone to the Star Sect, to sign an alliance with the Star Sect Master."
"The Great Elder has far-reaching foresight... With this, our Moon Invitation Immortal City will be without worries,"
Fang Xi slowly rolled the prayer beads.
"Haha... This matter is also quite beneficial for Sir Guest like you,"
Chi Songzi laughed.
"Oh? From whence comes this joy?"
Fang Xi became interested.
"With the merits that you and Fairy Shi have achieved in the arrays during this period, it’s enough to exchange for a lot of Immortal Jade... to the point where the reserves of Moon Invitation Immortal City are stretched thin..."
Chi Songzi spoke with ease: "This time, to show their sincerity, Star Sect is also willing to give out some spots to enter the ’Star Immortal Mansion’ Secret Realm... The Great Elder of our city and Master Dongqiuzi must remain in the Immortal City to guard against retaliation from the Kunpeng and cannot leave lightly. Therefore, the spots are included in the exchange list, even guests can obtain them... Isn’t this a great opportunity?"
According to Fang Xi’s estimation, although Moon Invitation Immortal City had deep reserves, Immortal Jade was something no Returning to Emptiness monk would willingly give away too much.
To be able to exchange contributions for other items and use them up would of course be for the best.
"Star Immortal Mansion?!"
Fang Xi’s expression shifted: "Could it be the super massive Immortal Realm mansion Secret Realm that has always been controlled by the Star Sect, yet they are unable to fully exploit it?"
In the Earth Immortal Realm, the most top-tier Secret Realms are, without a doubt, the Immortal Mansion Secret Realms!
Legend has it that these Immortal Mansions had fallen from the True Immortal Realm, whether cast down by great battles or intentionally by some immortals.
But within these Immortal Mansions, aside from danger, there must also be huge benefits.
Even those top Integration-stage and Mahayana monks have mostly obtained opportunities from the Immortal Mansion Secret Realms!
Back then, rumors spread in the Star Domain about stars falling from the sky, creating a massive rift.
But afterward, a ’Star Immortal Mansion’ Secret Realm also appeared.
This Secret Realm is of high-rank, monks below Integration stage can enter and exit at will, only the dangers are extremely great.
It has always been under the control of Star Sect, treasured like the apple of their eye, it is the most important source of Immortal Jade for the Sect!
Rumors say that inside the Star Immortal Mansion there is a huge vein of Immortal Jade that has been mined for many years and has never been exhausted!
It even supports the Star Sect, producing generation after generation of Integration-stage monks!
"Indeed... this time Star Sect gave out ten spots all at once, which is extremely generous."
Chi Songzi stroked his beard and smiled.
"Star Sect is being so generous?"
Fang Xi listened and was slightly moved.
Although he had never liked this kind of dungeon-diving activity, he thought it might not be bad to take down the Void Coordinates first and then let his Heterodox Incarnation explore it.
At the worst, he could simply work as a miner, and Immortal Jade would keep flowing in endlessly.
"Hehe... how can it be that simple?"
Chi Songzi sneered: "Star Sect understands the operating rules of Star Immortal Mansion very deeply, and have already been able to actively limit the time monks can stay inside... According to the contract, we can only explore inside for up to ten days... After ten days, one will be automatically expelled by the force of the Immortal Mansion."
"A spot for exploring an Immortal Mansion for ten days?"
Fang Xi thought for a moment, slowly twirling the bead string in his hand: "I still need to consider it..."
However, Chi Songzi, who had a deep understanding of the Wang Family Ancestor’s character, feared that he would just refuse and immediately described the Star Immortal Mansion as beyond amazing, mentioning the many benefits obtained by the predecessors of Star Sect:
"That ’Lord of the Myriad Stars’ from Star Sect took a piece of ’Nine Heavens Meteorite Iron’ from the Star Immortal Mansion years ago. With it, he forged his life-bound magical artifact. With a single move, he had the power of myriad stars at his command, shaking the entire Star Domain..."
"And ’Fairy Miao Yun’, who was born with a terminally blocked meridian. She entered the path of cultivation with great determination. After entering the Star Immortal Mansion, she obtained a precious pill that not only changed her constitution but also refined her Star Body. Later, she broke through the Integration stage and became the great reviver of Star Sect!"
"... ’Lord Long Fei’, originally inconspicuous among the Returning to Emptiness monks, gained insights into the Dragon Chapter Script divine skill from the ’Dragon Pattern Wall’ in Star Immortal Mansion, and from then on his reputation soared..."
...
"Wait a moment."
Fang Xi interrupted Chi Songzi, surprised: "Gained insight into the Dragon Chapter Script divine skill from the Dragon Pattern Wall... There’s Dragon Chapter Script in the Immortal Realm too?"
"The so-called Dragon Chapter Script is an elucidation of the Dao of Light and Time. There is the Dao of Light and Time in the True Immortal Realm, naturally, there would be Dragon Chapter Script... Perhaps the Dragon Chapter Script on the Dragon Pattern Wall is even more complete than what a True Dragon has comprehended... It’s just that in the Immortal Realm, it may be known by another name, that’s all."
Chi Songzi smiled.
"I see. I’ve always had a keen interest in the Dragon Chapter and Phoenix Seal," Fang Xi smiled: "It seems... I may have to reserve a spot for this Star Immortal Mansion after all."
"Then I congratulate friend Wang in advance for the wonderful realization of inspiration."
Chi Songzi solemnly bowed, but inwardly he thought little of it.
The Dragon Pattern Wall had been in the Star Immortal Mansion for who knows how many years, and only Lord Long Fei had gained any insight into it, which was telling enough.
What he did not know was that Fang Xi had no intention of gaining any divine skill.
He was going for the Dragon Chapter Script.
Compared to the Phoenix Seal Script, Fang Xi’s proficiency in Dragon Chapter Script, even after specifically searching for tomes and studying them in the Earth Immortal Realm, was still a tragedy.
It was due to his insufficient proficiency in Dragon Chapter Script that cultivating the ’Supreme Northern Dipper Life-controlling Divine Light’ was so difficult.
Even now, he was still at a beginner’s level, needing to spend ten years of his own life to diminish the lifespan of a cultivator of the next realm by one year.
If he could advance this divine skill to the level of Small Accomplishments, three years of his own lifespan could exchange for one year of the other party’s life force. With his now lengthy lifespan, he could pose a threat to many Integration-stage monks.
Once this divine skill reached its full maturity, it would mean to slay gods if gods block, to slay buddhas if buddhas block!
Therefore, even knowing he might gain nothing, Fang Xi was still prepared to give it a try.
Furthermore...
’Others cannot comprehend much because their time for contemplation is too short...’
’I, on the other hand, can just keep coming back after leaving, or even just stick around in the Immortal Mansion and not leave... With time accumulating, there should always be some gains, right?’
