Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 132 The eighteenth day of winter, the day of assessment is coming!

Faced with this sudden change, Tuoba Xiong was horrified.

He had never imagined that a warrior who was only at the eighth level of martial arts could use such a terrifying move!

First-grade martial arts!

After a moment of hesitation, Tuoba Xiong immediately had a guess in his mind!

This must be the first-grade martial art that Fang Xu has mastered!

A martial arts apprentice at the eighth level, relying on first-grade martial arts skills, actually possessed strength comparable to that of a martial arts master in an instant. This is simply too incredible!
We must catch him and force him to reveal this martial art!

Tuoba Xiong was roaring in his heart!

Facing Fang Xu's punch, he did not dodge at all. After preparing for the attack, he immediately moved close to Fang Xu's body and subdued him.

boom!
The two men's fists collided!
The three transformations of the Demon Ape can improve the user's various qualities several times.

Fang Xu's additional strength has now reached 1500+. Coupled with the body strengthened by the original energy after passing through the stone gate, his own strength is far beyond that of an ordinary martial artist at the eighth level.

With all the strength combined and amplified by the Demon Ape's Three Transformations, the power of his punch has reached a terrifying level!
The phantom fist of the demon ape and the phantom fist of Tuoba Xiong collided with each other. At the same time as a horrible explosion occurred, an invisible force of air blew in all directions instantly!

So strong!

Seeing the strength of the Demon Ape's third transformation, Tuoba Xiong was even happier.

After spending several months chasing and intercepting Fang Xu, Tuoba Xiong felt that all his efforts were not in vain after seeing with his own eyes the power of the Demon Ape's third transformation.

Bang!
At the moment when the two men were fighting each other, on the other side, the old ape also caught up with Master Lu and suddenly slapped him!
Although Saint Lu tried his best to dodge, he was still hit half of his body by the palm.

Ok?
After being hit by the palm, he found that the injury was far less serious than he had imagined, and Saint Lu was overjoyed.

"Tuoba Xiong, the medicine in this old beast's body is almost gone!"

Hearing this, Tuoba Xiong also showed joy on his face, and immediately prepared to attack Fang Xu.

As long as the two of them join forces to defeat the old ape, control Fang Xu, and then force him to reveal the first-grade martial arts, with the current strength of the two families, there is no need to share with other forces.

By then, it won't take long for the Lu and Tuoba families, who have exclusive first-grade martial arts, to completely surpass all the major families and forces. They will even no longer be afraid of the royal family.

Looking forward to a bright future, Tuoba Xiong mobilized all his strength, ready to blast away the blood-red demon ape shadow behind Fang Xu in one fell swoop.

However, before his body rushed to Fang Xu, his eyes blurred and a white figure appeared out of nowhere.

Tuoba Xiong was shocked when his fist with full force was easily blocked by the newcomer. He stepped back suddenly, and when he saw the newcomer clearly, his face turned ugly in an instant, and he even felt a little scared.

"Jiang... Elder Jiang."

Jiang Feng, the elder of the Shengxian Association, appeared and blocked Tuoba Xiong's attack. He smiled calmly and said, "Master Tuoba, how are you?"

On the other side, Lu Liren, who was about to cripple the old ape and then take him back to Qingzhou to torture and humiliate him, became unhappy when he saw Jiang Feng appear.

They have analyzed the Shengxian Society's attitude towards this matter many times, and they are sure that the Shengxian Society will not risk offending all the forces in Dayu and try their best to protect this kid.

The facts were just as they analyzed, even better than they imagined.

The coalition forces of various major families and forces set up checkpoints on Huayang Mountain and carried out layer by layer of inspections. They thought that the Shengxian Society would intervene, but for some unknown reason, the people from the Shengxian Society did not show up at all and let them do whatever they wanted.

This situation further encouraged their arrogance, making them think that the Ascension Society would not interfere at all.

But now...

"Elder Jiang..."

Lu Liren came in front of Jiang Feng with a complicated expression, looking at Fang Xu who had already retracted his magical powers behind him.

"Master Lu." Jiang Feng smiled faintly and said, "It's time for this farce of yours to end."

"The entrance examination is approaching, and you are fighting so recklessly in front of the gate of Huayang Mountain. It really makes it difficult for me to do this."

"Can……"

Lu Liren wanted to say something, but Jiang Feng interrupted him with a smile: "If this gets out to other branches, and they think that I am afraid of you, or even the Yu Kingdom, who are provoking the Ascension Society, then it will be troublesome."

Hearing this, Tuoba Xiong and Lu Shengren's bodies trembled for no reason, and a hint of panic appeared on their faces.

"Elder Jiang, you must be joking. How dare we challenge the Ascension Society?"

"Yes, we dare not!"

The two of them spoke quickly.

joke!

Provoking the Ascension Society?
Not to mention them, even if the entire Yu State were combined, they wouldn't have the courage to do so.

"Well, since you don't dare, in order to avoid misunderstandings, everyone should go back."

"Of course, if you plan to stay and observe the entrance examination of my Ascension Association, I welcome you."

Jiang Feng stood with his hands behind his back, smiling faintly and looking at the two of them quietly.

Tuoba Xiong and Lu Shengren looked at each other with a look of reluctance on their faces.

It took several months and a lot of manpower and resources. The Lu family even lost three martial arts masters. They were about to get the first-grade martial arts, but now they have to give up.

How could the two of them be willing?
But what can you do if you are unwilling? The person in front of you is the undisputed number one in the entire Dayu!

Not to mention the two of them joining forces, even if there were a few more of them, they would not be a match for Jiang Feng.

And once they angered the Ascension Society, they would definitely be destroyed.

"Elder Jiang, we are sorry to bother you."

Saint Lu's heart was bleeding, but he finally bowed helplessly.

Not only did he get three martial masters involved, but he also wasted a lot of time, and in the end, it was all in vain.

"This……"

Tuoba Xiong wanted to struggle and explain himself, but seeing that Saint Lu had already turned and left, he could only bow to Jiang Feng in dismay: "Elder Jiang, goodbye."

The two of them slowly retreated with all the family warriors, and peace returned to the front of Huayang Mountain.

Jiang Feng slowly turned around and looked at Fang Xu, who had withdrawn his magical powers and was supporting the old ape, and asked, "Do you have any resentment towards the Ascension Society?"

Fang Xu was slightly stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The first time he knew about the Ascension Meeting was when Mu Xuan and his two companions came to Fenglin Town to stand up for the Wu family and wanted to kill his own master and senior sister.

Afterwards, Master Lu Zhiyuan took out the Immortal Ascension Association's pass to the immortal gate and saved his and Lu Qingluo's lives, but he himself was captured.

The second time I came into contact with the Ascension Society was with Su Cheng and Huang Qingzhou.

In order to be promoted to deacon, Su Cheng wanted to use Chu Mu's blood essence to make pills regardless of her life or death. It was Huang Qingzhou who saved them.

Later, when facing the assassins hired by Su Cheng, Huang Qingzhou fought desperately.

Later, Yushan Tianyi, who was known as the number one inner sect member of the Yu Kingdom's Ascension Society, came up and wanted to kill him in order to satisfy the request of having a lover.

In the end, he used his own "Yin Yang Xuan Cai Jing" to absorb 90% of his cultivation, and was eventually captured by the Yanshen Sect.

Now, he was being hunted down by all the big and small forces in the entire Yu State, but he survived thanks to the Ascension Society and the Elder Jiang in front of him.

"I don't hate you, kid." Fang Xu said slowly.

"But I don't like it either." Jiang Feng smiled slightly, as if he had seen through Fang Xu's inner thoughts.

"I will explain a few things to you later. Now, take this fellow from the demon clan to find Chang Qing. If we are any later, his life will probably be in danger."

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Fang Xu hurriedly looked at the old ape, only to find that his gaze was now somewhat distracted, and the energy and blood in his body was on the verge of exhaustion.

"Uncle Ape!"

Fang Xu quickly supported him.

"Boy...you...you are finally safe."

"This old man... this old man can also... die without regrets."

The old ape forced a smile and stretched out his hand to grab Fang Xu's arm, but he couldn't even lift his hand.

"Ugh!"

"Let me give you a hand." Looking at the old ape's current physical condition, Jiang Feng sighed slightly, reached out to grab the two of them, and with a flash of his body, he flew directly towards Huayang Mountain.

……

In the valley where it is spring all year round, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants are in full bloom.

A large amount of fog emerged from the pool in the center of the valley, making the entire valley shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

Inside the thatched cottage, the old ape was lying quietly on the bed. Next to him, an old man with gray hair, a hunched body, but vigorous spirit was giving him acupuncture to heal his wounds.

Outside the house, Jiang Feng stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in white, with white hair like snow. He stood in the misty valley, like an immortal who was about to float away with the wind in the next moment.

Fang Xu stood behind him, looking at his back from time to time.

"Little guy, do you have a lot of questions in your mind?"

Feeling his gaze, Jiang Feng slowly turned around and asked.

Fang Xu cupped his hands.

"Elder Jiang, the Ascension Society did not intervene when the boy was being chased and blocked by the major families. Why did you save the boy at the critical moment today?"

"Because of magical powers." Facing Fang Xu's slightly puzzled expression, Jiang Feng said lightly.

Supernatural power! ?

A trace of alert arose in his heart, and Fang Xu immediately took a half step back.

Could it be that Jiang Feng, an elder of the Ascension Society, was also tempted when faced with magical powers?
"What are you afraid of, kid?"

"I am interested in magical powers, but I am not willing to lower myself to attack a junior."

As he spoke, a jade-like shadow of a bamboo suddenly appeared behind him!
The shadow only flashed by, but Fang Xu still realized that it was also a kind of magical power, a magical power similar to his own three transformations of the Demon Ape.

"See? I also have supernatural powers."

Jiang Feng showed off his magical power and dispelled Fang Xu's doubts. He spoke again, "If it is a first-grade martial art, they might be able to force it out of you if they catch you."

"But even with my current magical powers, I cannot guarantee that I can pass them on to others in their entirety."

"They can't get what they want, and they're afraid that you'll seek revenge on them when you rise in the future. What do you think they'll do?"

Fang Xu did not hesitate at all and said directly: "Kill them to silence them and prevent future troubles."

Jiang Feng nodded: "The inheritance of magical powers is extremely rare. I couldn't bear to see a magical power disappear in front of me, so I took action to stop them."

"Are you satisfied with this explanation?"

Fang Xu didn't say anything. Jiang Feng's reason seemed a bit far-fetched, but it was reasonable.

At his level, he probably understands the value of supernatural powers even more. It is normal for him to see a supernatural power disappear not far away.

"As for why the Ascension Society didn't take action before, I'm sure you can guess it." Jiang Feng spoke again: "The Ascension Society is very strong in the eyes of ordinary people."

"However, the vastness of this world is far beyond your imagination, and the Ascension Society is not without enemies."

"Facing the enemy, the Ascension Society also needs fresh blood. Yu State is the most powerful country within the Ascension Society's sphere of influence. It is not wise to offend the entire Yu State for a disciple who has not yet entered the sect."

"Can you understand this?"

Fang Xu frowned slightly.

He could understand what Jiang Feng said, but what puzzled him was why Jiang Feng, with his status, would lower himself to explain so much to him?
"I tell you this to make you understand that the world of martial arts is very cruel. In the face of interests, everyone is a pawn."

"Not to mention you, even I, there are times when I can't help myself."

"Okay, just stay here and relax. After the entrance examination, you will be a true disciple of my Ascension Society."

After saying this, Jiang Feng slowly left the valley.

Time flies, and it is already the third day since we arrived at Huayang Mountain.

On the eighth day of the winter month, Xu Changqing, who had kept silent all this time, left the thatched cottage and found Fang Xu who was practicing in the valley after making sure that the old ape's life was saved.

"Wuhuan are dead, right?" When Xu Changqing saw Fang Xu, the first thing he said was about Wuhuan.

"Dead..." Fang Xu hesitated and spoke.

Xu Changqing sighed slightly, with some memories flashing across his face as he said, "Back then, when I went to Tilan Mountain to look for an herb, I was accidentally intercepted by a group of mysterious monks. When I was seriously injured and dying, he saved me."

"I originally planned to take him in as my disciple and bring him to the Ascension Meeting, but unfortunately, his aptitude is too dull."

"It doesn't matter if I die..."

Xu Changqing sighed with relief and said, "The old ape's life was saved, but its vitality was already exhausted, and it was forced to transform and fight with others with all its strength. Given all the causes and effects, it is estimated that it will not last long."

Hearing this, Fang Xu's heart tightened, and he quickly looked at Xu Changqing and asked, "Senior, do you have any way to save Uncle Yuan?"

Along the way, the old ape has completely become his relative. How could he bear to watch the old ape die like this?
“There’s nothing I can do unless you can find an eighth-grade or even ninth-grade alchemist or some magical item that can change your fate.” Xu Changqing said calmly.

As an alchemist and a doctor, he is used to seeing life and death.

"Please tell me where I can find an eighth-grade alchemist!" Fang Xu said quickly.

Xu Changqing smiled when he heard this.

"Little guy, I am only telling you in a tactful way that he is hopeless."

"Don't tell me that I have never seen an eighth-grade alchemist. Even if I found one, he might not be willing to help you."

"Well, while he still has some time, let's spend more time with him."

"Remember to go to Su Cheng every day to get a portion of Shangyang Pill for him to take."

After saying this, Xu Changqing left.

Su Cheng?

Fang Xu frowned.

There is a life-and-death feud between me and that guy, which Xu Changqing probably doesn't know yet. Now he wants me to go to him to get the Shangyang Dan?
No!

The old ape must not be allowed to eat the pills he gave him.

Given that guy's personality, it would be strange if he didn't tamper with the elixir after knowing the relationship between me and the old ape!

His mind moved, and he immediately thought of Huang Qingzhou.

I have been in the valley for three days, but I haven't seen Huang Qingzhou yet.

As for Mu and Lu Qingluo, no one knows where they are assigned now.

……

At the foot of the mountain, Huang Qingzhou excitedly pushed open the gate.

"There's news!"

"I just got accurate information. Three days ago, Fang Xu brought a terrifying demon ape and encountered the head of the Lu family in Qingzhou and the head of the Tuoba family in Jizhou fifty miles outside the mountain. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides!"

"What!?" Upon hearing this, Lu Qingluo's face changed instantly.

"It is said that the head of the Lu family, Lu Shengren, is at the seventh level of martial honor. Tuoba Xiong from Jizhou is probably about the same level. Fang Xu... he was captured!?"

"Brother Fang Xu..." Chu Mu's face turned pale in an instant!

"No, just listen to me."

"Fang Xu was not arrested!"

"I heard that the demon ape following him was extremely powerful and beat Tuoba Xiong and Lu Shengren so hard that they fled in panic."

"It's a pity that the old ape seems to be running out of energy and blood..."

"Senior Brother Huang!"

"Can't you just talk about the key points?" Chu Mu said angrily when he saw Huang Qingzhou telling a story with great excitement, completely ignoring his own anxiety.

"The point?"

"Oh! The point is, Fang Xu was rescued and not captured!"

"Who rescued him?" Lu Qingluo asked.

"Of course it's Elder Jiang." Huang Qingzhou said excitedly, "I also heard that Elder Jiang has brought Fang Xu and the old ape to see Master, asking Master to help heal the old ape."

"Go back later and if you see Fang Xu, bring him back to see you."

After Huang Qingzhou finished speaking, he grabbed the teapot on the stone table in front of him and prepared to pour a cup of tea.

"Oh, come back and drink it!" Lu Qingluo snatched the teapot and teacup and pushed Huang Qingzhou out.

"you……"

Huang Qingzhou had no choice but to rush into the mountains.

……

Outside the valley, the two people who had been separated for a long time finally met again.

Sitting cross-legged on a piece of bluestone, Huang Qingzhou looked at Fang Xu and said with sincere admiration: "Boy, I really admire you for being able to come here alive."

After coming out of the Tilan Mountain ruins, in order to find out the news about Fang Xu, he saw with his own eyes what kind of terrifying net the entire Dayu forces had laid out.

But even so, Fang Xu miraculously survived and came to Tilan Mountain.

"Brother Huang, thank you very much."

Looking at Huang Qingzhou, Fang Xu bowed slightly.

If Huang Qingzhou had not brought Lu Qingluo and Chu Mu to Huayang Mountain in advance, with his strength, it would have been impossible for him to lead the two of them to travel thousands of miles, bypass layers of encirclement and blockade, and arrive at the Ascension Meeting intact.

"Why are you being so polite to me..." Huang Qingzhou said with a faint smile.

Fang Xu looked at him deeply and said slowly: "Senior Brother Huang, can you tell me now?"

Huang Qingzhou was stunned and asked with some confusion: "Tell you what?"

Fang Xu smiled and said, "You and I are not related, but the first time we met, you chose to help me fight against Su Cheng, and later you risked your life to protect me."

"There is no good thing in this world without a reason. You have to be motivated by something, right?"

Facing Fang Xu's gaze, Huang Qingzhou said angrily: "I say, can you not be so dark in your mind?"

Fang Xu didn't say anything, but just looked at him with a faint smile.

"Forget it!"

Huang Qingzhou was defeated and said, "Because I have met your grandfather before and received his help."

"Have you met my grandfather?" Fang Xu looked at Huang Qingzhou in surprise.

He had never heard his grandfather mention anything about Huang Qingzhou.

"More than ten years ago, I followed that guy Su Cheng to Qinghe County to purchase some medicinal herbs. I accidentally met your grandfather and received his help."

"Do you still remember the witchcraft at home in Fenglin Town?"

"That was arranged by your grandfather. He is very knowledgeable in the art of wind magic."

After hearing this, Fang Xu became even more confused.

Grandpa had helped Huang Qingzhou before, and he also had deep knowledge of Feng Shui. This...

I had never noticed these things before. My impression of my grandfather was that he was an honest carpenter.

On weekdays, he was reluctant to spend the money he earned from work. He spent it all on buying blood food and medicine to strengthen his body.

Yes!

Fang Xu suddenly remembered that although his grandfather was a famous carpenter in the area, he did not charge much for making or repairing things for people. The money he earned was barely enough to support the two of them, so he should not have any extra money to buy blood food and medicine.

Grandpa!
How many things are you hiding from me...

"Don't worry now!"

"Really? Can't I have a little secret?"

"There is no good thing in the world without a reason..."

"What can I do for you?"

Huang Qingzhou scolded Fang Xu like a nagging woman.

"Okay, come with me to meet Miss Chu and Miss Lu." Huang Qingzhou clapped his hands as he stood up from the bluestone.

"There is one more thing." Fang Xu quickly said, "Can Senior Brother Huang refine the Shangyang Pill?"

"Shangyang Pill, yes." Huang Qingzhou said disdainfully: "It's only a third-grade pill, but it's not common."

Upon hearing that Huang Qingzhou was able to refine the Shangyang Pill, Fang Xu was overjoyed, and quickly told him that Xu Changqing had asked him to find Su Cheng to get the Shangyang Pill for the old ape to take.

"You guessed it right. If Su Cheng knew that it was the Shangyang Pill you wanted, he would definitely tamper with the pill."

"Okay, let the demon elder come with us."

"The villas at the foot of the mountain are all under the control of the Ascension Society. No one dares to break in."

Fang Xu nodded, and immediately took the old ape to say goodbye to Xu Changqing, and then followed Huang Qingzhou to the villa at the foot of the mountain.

"Brother Fang Xu!"

In the yard, Chu Mu saw Fang Xu and excitedly rushed over and hugged his neck.

Fang Xu was slightly stunned, then patted her back gently: "Okay, girl."

After letting him go, Chu Mu had tears on her face. She looked Fang Xu up and down with her beautiful eyes and asked, "Is Brother Fang Xu injured?"

Fang Xu smiled and shook his head, looking at Chu Mu who was standing in front of him and asked, "Is your leg healed?"

“Yes!” Chu Mu nodded vigorously and said, “I have already broken through to the martial arts apprentice level.”

"Great!" After praising her, Fang Xu came to Lu Qingluo and said with a smile, "Senior Sister."

Lu Qingluo nodded: "As long as we arrive safely."

"Okay, let me introduce you guys."

"This is Uncle Ape, from the Earthly Demon Ape clan." Pulling the old ape, Fang Xu said with a smile:
"Uncle Yuan, this is Lu Qingluo, my senior sister, Chu Mu, my sister, you have met Senior Brother Huang."

The old ape smiled and nodded.

After a near-death experience, his cultivation has almost disappeared along with the depletion of his energy and blood. He might not even be able to defeat a warrior at the Martial Honor level.

"Uncle Ape."

"Uncle Ape!"

Lu Qingluo and Chu Mu shouted respectfully.

"Brother Fang Xu, does Uncle Yuan want to stay here?"

Fang Xu nodded. The old ape really needed to stay here temporarily, and he had to find a way to save him as soon as possible.

"Then I'll go clean up the room!" Chu Mu said happily.

"I'll go find some medicinal herbs to make Shangyang Dan." Huang Qingzhou also left.

……

After settling down in the villa with the old ape, life returned to normal again.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was the eighteenth day of winter, the day of the entrance examination for the Ascension Society.
