Chapter 454: The Banquet (Monthly Ticket Request at the Start of the Month! )
Pfft!
Heiwei suddenly opened his mouth, and a green demon core flew out, from which emerged a slightly damaged four-stage black eagle demon soul.
The black eagle shrieked, fanning out a black storm that actually blew away the individual green-needles. With another flap of its wings, it was about to cast a teleportation spell to escape!
The next instant, a chessboard appeared in Fang Xi's hand.
Amidst flashing light, across the nineteen vertical and horizontal lines of the board, a white piece flew out.
With a crisp click of the piece, the black eagle demon soul screamed, struck by that white piece!
The white piece flashed, transforming into a Forbidden Air Talisman. Numerous white chains extended, firmly binding the black eagle demon soul.
The Star-Patterned Chessboard: white pieces for trapping, black pieces for killing!
An invisible suction appeared, and a stream of light emerged from the bottle's mouth. With a single sweep, it swallowed the black eagle demon soul, retracting it back inside the bottle.
Clink!
Fang Xi corked the bottle, then with another wave of his hand, the four-stage demon core fell into his palm.
He then looked at Heiwei's demon body opposite him, whose physical form was almost completely unharmed, a satisfied expression appearing on his face: "Excellent, excellent. . . Using the Green-sword against an enemy, I almost preserved a complete four-stage demon beast body. With the demon core, that makes another four-stage wood puppet."
Fang Xi formed a sword incantation with his hand, gripping the sword hilt. The countless Green He needles densely spread through the void slowly emerged, converging on the hilt, transforming into the blade of the fourth-generation Green He Sword!
"This sword. . ."
He swept his Divine Consciousness over the high-grade spirit stone within the hilt: "Just a single use, and before even a few moves, half of the spiritual energy within the high-grade spirit stone is already consumed?"
The instantaneous spiritual energy output of a high-grade spirit stone undoubtedly surpassed that of many Nascent Soul old monsters.
After all, many Nascent Soul cultivators prefer to absorb the pure spiritual energy from within high-grade spirit stones when breaking through!
This sufficiently proved how energy-intensive the femto-level division and AI assistance of this Fourth-generation Green-Sword were!
"Fortunately, the spiritual energy within the high-grade spirit stone will slowly recover. . . If placed in a place with abundant spiritual energy, it would be even faster."
"And. . . its power is truly remarkable."
Recalling the'sword-into-silk refinement' and'full sword light'realms displayed by the green-Sword, Fang Xi was quite satisfied with this sword test.
Although he also knew this was because the Green-Sword's prototype was the Demon-Slaying Sword, which had a special bonus against demon race bodies.
Furthermore, femto-level technology was the newest and most advanced cutting-edge technology in the Kyushu World, still in the laboratory research stage. Only Professor Huo Yunzi's laboratory could produce it.
If not for selling face to Zhang Huohua's mentor, ordinary people would truly not be able to get their hands on it.
The Fourth-Generation Green-Sword in Fang Xi's hand combined top-tier technologies from two great worlds to achieve such terrifying lethality against demons.
"Not only that. . . the Demon-Slaying Sword can also slowly increase its power by absorbing the essence blood of powerful demons, thereby advancing. . ."
Fang Xi looked at Heiwei's demon body, stroking his chin: "Such a large mass, taking half its essence blood first shouldn't be a big problem. . ."
He waved his sleeve, collecting all items, and gracefully landed back on Emerald Island.
"Congratulations, Master, for your invincible divine sword and the eradication of a great demon!"
Hai Da Niu was the first to react, quickly shouting.
Feng Bingxian and Gong Ling also awoke as if from a dream: "Congratulations, Senior, on slaying a shapeshifting great demon. . ."
As the two women spoke, they were somewhat incredulous.
Weren't demon cultivators generally stronger than cultivators of the same rank? Why was this Dragon Fish Island Master so formidable?
Looking at that great demon, not only was it utterly defeated, but it seemed even its demon soul hadn't escaped.
Gong Ling gazed at Fang Xi, her eyes filled with adoration.
She was also a sword cultivator and naturally knew how difficult the 'sword-into-silk refinement' realm was.
This realm was almost the pinnacle of the sword dao!
Throughout history, many cultivators have dedicated themselves to the sword, but no matter how extraordinary their talent and wisdom, over ninety-nine percent of them, despite diligent study, neglecting food and sleep in the sword dao. . . even renouncing everything else for the sword, still found it difficult to reach such a peak!
'This Senior, must not only possess an unprecedented talent in the sword dao, but also a sincere heart towards the sword, cultivating for decades and centuries as if it were a single day, to achieve his current accomplishments. He is a model for our generation! '
Gong Ling was still busy with her self-hypnosis, completely unaware that a certain sword cultivator was a complete fraud, relying solely on technology and brutal force!
"The external enemy has been eliminated, my two young friends, please move to the Evergreen Hall. This Seat shall host a banquet to entertain you. . ."
Fang Xi laughed heartily and instructed Zhong Hong Yu: "Prepare the banquet!"
...
Slaying a great enemy, then drinking and feasting, was truly one of life's great pleasures!
In the Evergreen Hall.
Fang Xi changed into a green robe, the smooth silkworm silk incredibly soft and comfortable to wear.
He toyed with a wine cup in his hand, which still held the familiar Green Bamboo Wine.
"You two, please!"
The banquet below consisted of individual seats, with only four settings.
Feng Bingxian and Gong Ling took the guest seats, with Hai Da Niu and Zhong Hong Yu accompanying them.
Feng Bingxian took a sip of the spirit wine, slightly startled: "This three-stage fine wine, not only has a rich and mellow taste, but it also seems to carry a hint of ice spiritual energy. This junior is truly blessed."
"Haha, if this 'Ice Heart Wine' pleases my young friend, I'll have Hong Yu send you a few jars later. . . " Fang Xi then looked at Gong Ling: "Daoist friend's is 'Blazing Gold Wine'. . . it has some benefits for cultivating sword qi."
"And these dishes, the snake soup is made from a blend of 'Green Water Winged Snake' and 'Wind Thunder Horned Python'. . . taking only the most tender parts."
"The venison is from a 'Five-Colored Deer'. . . and there's also this dish of Taisui roasted meat. . ."
Zhong Hong Yu smiled and took over, introducing each dish.
When the final spirit rice was served, Hai Da Niu said with a hint of pride: "Thanks to Master's gift of excellent seeds, Emerald Island now has ten thousand mu of spirit fields, all growing three-stage 'Jade Spring Rice. ' Once we're familiar with the process, we can even grow four-stage 'Five Elements Rice'. . . Master is considerate of us, and the annual rent is not high. . ."
Since ancient times, refined eating and meticulous preparation have been highly valued, and this is even more true for cultivators!
Fang Xi settled permanently on Emerald Island and built it into his stronghold, naturally putting in much effort.
In previous years, when he spread his inheritances, although they were mainly about artifact refinement, other inheritances like spirit plant cultivation and animal husbandry also required a large number of people to carry out.
And along his journey, he had reaped abundant harvests!
He was not lacking in various foundations; for instance, the seeds and cultivation methods for "Jade Spring Rice" were found in the storage bag of a certain Nascent Soul old monster.
As for "Five Elements Rice," it came from the Long Evergreen Park mystic realm, but unfortunately, there was no cultivation method, so a group of high-grade spirit farmers would have to gradually experiment.
The various wine recipes were also treated similarly, compiled by Fang Xi into a book called "The Wine Immortal Compendium," and given to several Foundation Establishment cultivators interested in brewing, for them to slowly tinker with.
It was no exaggeration to say that in terms of true cultivation foundations—food, clothing, housing, and transportation—Emerald Island completely surpassed even a great Nascent Soul sect like the Hunyuan Sect!
Feng Bingxian and Gong Ling exchanged glances, both feeling a little ashamed.
Having traveled through the impoverished Three Kingdoms cultivation world, they had assumed the Dragon Fish Island Master was just some bumpkin who got lucky.
But only upon arriving at Emerald Island and feeling the aura of the four-stage spirit vein did they realize how narrow-minded they had been.
Even in shallow waters, a flood dragon can emerge!
And only at this moment, seeing Fang Xi able to produce several different kinds of three-stage spirit wine, ancient exotic ingredients for dishes, and four-stage spirit rice, did they realize that the Dragon Fish Island Master's true background was unfathomably deep!
This kind of astonishment in the details was no less impactful than witnessing Fang Xi's sword slaying a shapeshifting great demon earlier!
After three rounds of wine, Fang Xi spoke: "My two young friends, what brings you to Emerald Island?"
The two women exchanged glances. Feng Bingxian stood up, bowing slightly: "Thank you for Senior's hospitality. We are here, in fact, on the orders of the Heavenly Envy Demon Lord of the Lishang Demon Palace, to deliver a letter to our palace's Supreme Elder, 'Yun Jizi. ' The Supreme Elder mentioned that he is good friends with Senior, and asked you to pass it on if there was anything. . ."
"Indeed, Yun Jizi has always been without a fixed abode. . ."
Fang Xi stroked his chin, answering thoughtfully: "This Seat also doesn't know where he is. . ."
In the Kyushu World, the Second Primordial Spirit, currently using a wisp of Earth Mountain Turtle demonic energy to conduct physical surveying, suddenly shivered for no apparent reason. . .
"What?"
Feng Bingxian's face paled in shock: "What about the letter from that great cultivator?"
"If my young friend trusts this humble one, then hand the letter to this Seat. I will find Yun Jizi and pass it on to him. " Fang Xi drank a cup of Green Bamboo Wine, then suddenly smiled.
"In that case. . . thank you, Senior."
Feng Bingxian bowed solemnly, secretly grateful in her heart, knowing that she had finally passed off this hot potato.
In the future, even if the Lishang Demon Palace sought accountability, they would only look for the Dragon Fish Island Master, not her.
Feng Bingxian naturally wished for nothing more. She quickly offered a black box with both hands, respectfully presenting it: "Please, Island Master, when you see the Supreme Elder, please convey our regards on behalf of this junior. Tell him that the Profound Ice Palace has been long awaiting his return. . ."
...
Late night.
Evergreen Hall, cultivation chamber.
Fang Xi waved his sleeve, and the black box appeared on the table.
He chuckled softly. A streak of Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light flew out, slicing open the top of the box, revealing a jade slip within.
'I wonder what this Demon Lord wants to say, but to dispel the 'Soul Entanglement Curse', I have to go at least once. . . '
The previous transaction also explicitly stated that only when Yun Jizi truly joined the war would the Heavenly Envy Demon Lord teach him the method to dispel the curse.
After all, Nascent Soul True Monarchs had peculiar temperaments. If he had given it in advance, and Fang Xi simply ran off, the Heavenly Envy Demon Lord could only accept the loss!
For beings like them, any oath or restriction could be circumvented with a certain price.
Even oaths involving Heavenly Dao or Heart Demons. . . in fact, most Nascent Soul old monsters spent their entire lives lingering in the early Nascent Soul stage, with no hope of advancing to the middle stage, so they mostly didn't take such oaths seriously. . .
A wisp of Fang Xi's Divine Sense entered the jade slip.
Soon, numerous messages emerged one by one:
"Is the Heavenly Pillar Alliance in the Feng Kingdom really that useless? They actually lost an important position right at the start of the war. . . Now they have lost most of their territory, barely resisting under the leadership of the late-stage Nascent Soul grand cultivator, Tian Xingzi. . ."
"The situation in the Jiang Kingdom is slightly better, but also not optimistic. The Heavenly Phoenix Clan has already occupied several important spirit veins and is preparing to set up 'Conversion Arrays'. . ."
Gratitude for the support of my fellow readers! To have made it into the top ten of the monthly ticket rankings last month, I am truly touched and have no way to repay you but with more chapters
