Chapter 746: Immortal Mansion Quota (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Votes)
After Shi Xianzi departed.
Immortal Fairy Chen also arrived, informing the Wang Family Ancestor of the inside story regarding this campaign.
Watching the two intersecting streaks of light, Fang Xi couldn't help but feel a deep sense of helplessness.
After barely managing to deal with the two Immortal Fairies, he directly returned to the lake island to seclude himself in cultivation.
Inside the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm.
One by one, Wood Spirit Elves and Silver Bean Dao Soldiers were diligently tilling the fields, planting spirit rice.
“In truth, just the annual spirit rice output from the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm alone is worth quite a lot of supreme-grade spirit stones. . . This Jade Void Rice is in short supply even in Moonlight Immortal City. ”
Fang Xi sighed.
‘Immortal jade is rare because it needs to be mined from Immortal Mansion mystic realms. . . and there's not much of it even in the Taiyin Secret Realm. . . ’
Given Fang Xi's nature, he had naturally long since scoured the mystic realm, but found no immortal jade mines.
As for that overseas Immortal Mansion, it had long since been plundered completely; now, at best, only a few scraps remained.
“It still requires a truly large-scale Immortal Mansion mystic realm to be a good place for mining immortal jade. . . ”
“If I had a large amount of immortal jade, my cultivation could directly advance by leaps and bounds. . . ”
Compared to buying low and selling high, and risking discovery, it would clearly be much better to have an undiscovered Immortal Mansion where he could freely mine immortal jade.
Fang Xi sighed, no longer indulging in fanciful thoughts, and walked into the spirit herb garden.
He sat cross-legged before the Dragon Blood Phoenix Marrow Flower, beginning to cultivate the 'Heavenly Demon True Body'!
Currently, Fang Xi's 'Withered Glory Chant' technique was effectively on autopilot, making progress daily.
Therefore, he had plenty of free time, which he could use to delve into the hundred arts of cultivation and body refinement techniques.
Inhale. . . exhale. . .
As Fang Xi silently circulated his cultivation art, wisps of crimson aura were drawn from the pistil of the Dragon Blood Phoenix Marrow Flower, from the place where the two dragons and phoenixes intertwined, and absorbed into his nose.
With each absorption, the Dragon Blood Phoenix Marrow Flower appeared to wilt slightly.
Meanwhile, on Fang Xi's body, a layer of dragon and phoenix tattoos came alive, resembling a phoenix spreading its wings and a true dragon coiling. . .
The simultaneous cries of dragon and phoenix caused his body refinement progress to once again advance by leaps and bounds.
An unknown amount of time passed.
Fang Xi stood up, feeling his Heavenly Demon True Body break through once more, and was extremely satisfied: “At this moment. . . my physical body is not much worse than those quasi-seventh-tier puppets. . . ”
“In the future, it might even be comparable to a seventh-tier demon beast! ”
“When assaulting the Void Amalgamation bottleneck. . . if I had such a physical body. . . ”
“Uh. . . it seems my Earthly Immortal inheritance doesn't emphasize this; the Heavenly Demon True Body primarily enhances combat power. . . ”
He swept a glance at the slightly wilted Dragon Blood Phoenix Marrow Flower, then immediately flicked his sleeve.
Wisps of Myriad Wood Mother Qi emerged, swirling around the flower, beginning to nourish it.
This was also a method Fang Xi had comprehended after improving his spirit plant cultivation skills, allowing him to repeatedly utilize this type of exotic flower and plant.
With the help of 'Myriad Wood Mother Qi' and the inherent fortune of the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm, as long as he didn't harvest excessively each time, it should allow for sustainable development.
“I wonder how my current physique compares to the Dragon-Phoenix Puppet, Moonlight Immortal City's trump card? ”
Fang Xi donned a green robe and exited the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm.
The light on his face flickered for a moment, automatically transforming into the appearance of the Wang Family Ancestor.
“Old Ancestor! ”
On the lake island, there were now many more cultivators.
Among them were also many members of the Li family.
Through generations of intermarriage, they had basically become one family with the Wang family.
“This Venerable One will go visit the city elders; you all may do as you please. . . ”
Fang Xi instructed, then transformed into a streak of light, arriving at Chi Songzi's immortal cave.
...
Beneath the ancient pine and cypress trees.
“Alas. . . although this sally by our city did somewhat awe the four directions, it ultimately fell short of complete success, a great pity indeed. . . ”
Chi Songzi poured Fang Xi a cup of spirit tea and sighed with emotion.
“Now, the Immortal City is protected by formations and quasi-seventh-tier puppets; even Void Amalgamation cultivators would find it difficult to attack casually. . . At this precarious time, a large number of cultivation forces have pledged allegiance, subtly forming a counterbalance to the Starry Sky Sect. ”
Fang Xi praised.
“Precisely because of this, there is instead trouble! ”
Chi Songzi said: “After all, our city lacks a true Void Amalgamation cultivator to preside over it. . . Our own strength is insufficient, making it ultimately difficult to contend with the Starry Sky Sect. If we incur the sect's suspicion, it will not be a good thing. . . Therefore, the Grand Elder has already gone to the Starry Sky Sect to sign an alliance agreement with the Starry Sky Sect Master. ”
“The Grand Elder's foresight spans a myriad miles. . . With this, our Moonlight Immortal City is without worry. ”
Fang Xi slowly twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand.
“Haha. . . this matter also brings considerable benefits to fellow Daoists who are guest elders like you. ”
Chi Songzi chuckled.“Oh? From where does this joy come? ”
Fang Xi's interest was piqued.
“With fellow Daoist's and Immortal Fairy Shi's contributions to formations during this period, you have accrued enough merit to exchange for a lot of immortal jade. . . which has made the Immortal City's reserves stretched thin. . . ”
Chi Songzi spoke eloquently: “This time, to show sincerity, the Starry Sky Sect is even willing to offer some quotas to enter the 'Stellar Immortal Mansion' mystic realm. . . Our city's Grand Elder and Master Dong Qiuzi must remain in the Immortal City, guarding against the Kunpeng's retaliation and unable to move lightly. Therefore, these quotas have been listed for exchange, and even guest elders can acquire them. . . Is this not a heaven-sent opportunity? ”
According to Fang Xi's estimation, although Moonlight Immortal City had a deep foundation, no Return to Void cultivator would be willing to give away too much of something like immortal jade.
It was naturally a great boon to be able to use contributions to exchange for other items and consume them.
“Stellar Immortal Mansion? ! ”
Fang Xi's expression stirred: “Could it be that super-large Immortal World mansion mystic realm that the Starry Sky Sect has controlled for generations but found difficult to fully develop? ”
Among the mystic realms in the Earthly Immortal World, the most top-tier, without a doubt, were the Immortal Mansion mystic realms!
Legends said these Immortal Mansions drifted down from the True Immortal World, fallen perhaps by great battles, or perhaps deliberately cast down by Immortals.
But within an Immortal Mansion, besides danger, there were inevitably immense benefits.
Even the majority of top-tier Void Amalgamation and Mahayana cultivators had gained opportunities from Immortal Mansion mystic realms!
In the Starry Sky Domain back then, it was rumored that stars had fallen, creating massive fissures.
But after that, a 'Stellar Immortal Mansion' mystic realm also appeared.
This mystic realm was of a very high tier; cultivators below Void Amalgamation could enter and exit at will, but it was extremely dangerous.
It had always been controlled by the Starry Sky Sect, regarded as the apple of their eye, and was the sect's most important source of immortal jade!
Legend had it that within the Stellar Immortal Mansion lay a massive immortal jade mine, which had been continuously exploited for years!
It even supported the Starry Sky Sect, producing generation after generation of Void Amalgamation cultivators!
“Precisely. . . This time, the Starry Sky Sect has given out ten quotas at once, which can be considered very generous. ”
Chi Songzi stroked his beard and smiled.
“The Starry Sky Sect is actually so generous? ”
Upon hearing this, Fang Xi was slightly moved.
Although he had always disliked dungeon-crawling activities of this kind, first establishing a void coordinate and then sending his External Avatar to explore would not be a bad idea.
At the very least, if he became a miner, immortal jade would flow in endlessly.
“Hehe. . . how could it be so simple? ”
Chi Songzi sneered: “The Starry Sky Sect has a deep understanding of the Stellar Immortal Mansion's operational rules and can already actively limit the duration of cultivators' entry. . . According to their contract, we are allowed to enter and explore for a maximum of ten days. . . Once ten days pass, we will automatically be expelled by the Immortal Mansion's power. ”
“A quota to explore the Immortal Mansion for ten days, then? ”
Fang Xi pondered, slowly twirling the string of beads in his hand: “This old man needs to consider it further. . . ”
Chi Songzi, however, deeply understood the Wang Family Ancestor's character and, fearing that he might simply refuse, immediately praised the Stellar Immortal Mansion to the heavens and beyond. . . mentioning the numerous benefits gained by many Starry Sky Sect seniors from it:
“That 'Myriad Stars Venerable' of the Starry Sky Sect, back then, brought out a piece of 'Nine Heavens Falling Star Iron' from the Stellar Immortal Mansion and used it to forge his Natal Magic Treasure. With a single strike, the power of myriad stars followed, aweing the Starry Sky Domain. . . ”
“And there's 'Gossamer Cloud Immortal Fairy', who was born with an isolated meridian body, yet with great perseverance embarked on cultivation. After entering the Stellar Immortal Mansion, she obtained a precious pill that not only transformed her physique but also allowed her to cultivate a Stellar Treasure Body. Later, she broke through to Void Amalgamation and became the revitalizing master of the Starry Sky Sect! ”
“. . . 'Dragon Flying Venerable', originally obscure among Return to Void cultivators, went to the 'Dragon Rune Wall' in the Stellar Immortal Mansion and surprisingly comprehended a Dragon Rune Script divine ability from it, soaring to prominence ever since. . . ”
...
“Wait. ”
Fang Xi interrupted Chi Songzi, asking in surprise: “To comprehend a Dragon Rune Script divine ability from the Dragon Rune Wall. . . Does the Immortal World also have Dragon Rune Script? ”
“The so-called Dragon Rune Script is an exposition of the Grand Dao of Time. . . Since the True Immortal World has the Grand Dao of Time, it naturally has Dragon Rune Script. . . In fact, the Dragon Rune Script on the Dragon Rune Wall is even more complete than what true dragons comprehend. . . It's just that in the Immortal World, it might be known by a different name. ”
Chi Songzi chuckled.
“So that's how it is. This old man has always been quite interested in Dragon Rune and Phoenix Seal Scripts. ”
Fang Xi chuckled: “It seems. . . this old man might have to reserve a quota for the Stellar Immortal Mansion. ”
“Then allow this one to first congratulate fellow Daoist Wang on his wonderful spiritual comprehension. ”
Chi Songzi cupped his hands solemnly, though he felt unconvinced in his heart.
The Dragon Rune Wall had been in the Stellar Immortal Mansion for countless years, and only one 'Dragon Flying Venerable' had been able to comprehend something from it, which already spoke volumes.
He didn't know, however, that Fang Xi had no intention of comprehending any divine abilities.
He was simply going for the Dragon Rune Script.
Compared to Phoenix Seal Script, Fang Xi's proficiency in Dragon Rune Script remained lamentable, even after he specifically sought out and studied ancient texts in the Earthly Immortal World.
It was precisely due to his insufficient proficiency in Dragon Rune Script that his cultivation of the 'Supreme Pole Star Life-Ending Divine Light' was so difficult.
To this day, it remained at an entry level, capable of reducing the lifespan of a cultivator one realm higher at a ratio of ten to one.
It required consuming ten years of his own lifespan to reduce one year of a Void Amalgamation cultivator's lifespan.
If he could advance this divine ability to the minor accomplishment level, three years of his own lifespan could exchange for one year of the opponent's. With his current vast lifespan, he could pose a threat to many Void Amalgamation cultivators.
Once this divine ability reached major accomplishment, it would be even more unstoppable, slaying gods and Buddhas alike!
Therefore, even knowing he might gain nothing, Fang Xi was prepared to give it a try.
What's more. . .
‘Others failed to comprehend anything because their comprehension time was too short. . . ’
‘At worst, after I come out, I can go back to comprehend it again, or even refuse to leave the Immortal Mansion. . . With consistent effort over time, I'm bound to gain something, right? ’
