Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 141: The mission to advance to inner disciple, Fushan Kingdom
The most urgent task right now is to become an inner disciple first, because only by becoming an inner disciple will he have the authority to go to the Affairs Hall to accept tasks.

According to Wuling, if you want to quickly gain contribution points, there seems to be no better way than to accept sect missions.

It is now early February, which is the right time to apply for promotion.

However, for now, he had better go to the Divine Weapon Hall to talk to Elder Tieshan and cancel his leave. Otherwise, if he did not do the chores for more than 30 days and was counted as absent, he would lose nearly 2,000 contribution points.

It was already dark when we came out of the cliff underground palace and arrived at the Divine Weapon Hall.

Inside the Divine Weapon Hall, the one-legged Tieshan was watching over a small red clay stove in the courtyard of the hall, drinking some wine, looking quite comfortable.

"Deacon Tieshan." Fang Xu came up to him and bowed.

"Boy, have you made a breakthrough?"

Tieshan smiled as he saw Fang Xu again after more than a month.

Fang Xu cupped his hands and said, "I have achieved a breakthrough. This time it took a total of thirty-three days."

"Okay, I got it. I will make up for the chores for you for these thirty-three days later." Tieshan said indifferently.

As the deacon of the Divine Weapon Hall, whether Fang Xu has done his chores for the next thirty-three days is up to him.

"Boy, come and have a drink with me."

Seeing Fang Xu still standing nearby, Tieshan immediately asked him to sit down.

Fang Xu took a step forward, then stepped back and said with a bitter face: "Deacon Tieshan, I can't drink with you anymore."

He immediately told Tieshan about how he had been in seclusion in the cliff palace for thirty days and owed a huge amount of contribution points, which shocked Tieshan.

"Haha...you kid!"

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Tieshan slowly stood up and said, "Three hundred thousand contribution points should be enough for you to pay off for a while."

"What the old man Wu Ling said is right. There is no better way than to carry out the mission of the Affairs Hall."

"Go apply for a promotion first. After you become an inner disciple, I can give you a mission."

Fang Xu nodded, thanked Tieshan, and left the Divine Weapon Hall.

After returning to his residence, he did not stop at all and directly submitted an application for promotion to an inner disciple to his martial arts master. After being told that the promotion task would be arranged tomorrow, Fang Xu left Huayang Mountain directly and came to the villa at the foot of the mountain.

It was already midnight when Fang Xu arrived at the gate of the villa, only to find that it was still ajar.

"It's this late, and Uncle Yuan hasn't rested yet?"

I pushed open the door and walked in. The courtyard was dark and it seemed that no one was there.

"Uncle Yuan?" Fang Xu shouted.

No one in the yard paid any attention.

"Uncle Ape!" Fang Xu's face changed and he rushed into the old ape's room.

no one!

Inside the room, the clothes that the old ape usually wore were neatly folded and placed on the bed, and there was a letter on the desk beside him.

Taking out a tinder to light the oil lamp, Fang Xu opened the letter and took a look.

Boy Fang, your Senior Brother Huang came to see me today and said that Elder Jiang from the Ascension Society has found a way to extend my life, but this method is somewhat dangerous. If it succeeds, I can live one year longer, but if it fails, I will die on the spot. He asked me if I should wait for you to come out before making a decision.

I was thinking, with my current physical condition, I don’t know if I can wait until you come out of retreat. I asked you for the Qi and Blood Pills because I thought I could take one when I couldn’t hold on any longer, and hold on for two more days…

Boy Fang, I really want to watch you grow up, and then travel around the human world with you.

After this trip, I don’t know if I can come back. Boy Fang, remember what I said. If you have the chance, you must bring my body back to Tilan Mountain. Also... the Earth Demon Ape Clan is in your hands.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Fang Xu couldn't help but see the old ape's voice, appearance and smile. As he thought about it, his eyes couldn't help but turn red and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Uncle Ape..."

After solemnly putting the old ape's letter into his Qiankun bag, Fang Xu looked around the room.

Since his grandfather's death, he had unconsciously regarded the old ape as his closest person. Now...

Ugh!
After wiping his eyes, Fang Xu blew out the oil lamp, closed the door with a heavy expression, and walked towards the mountain gate in the distance.

As soon as he left the villa at the foot of the mountain, he suddenly became aware of a vague sense of surveillance. He slowed down his pace and glanced to the left. He saw a figure shrouded in a blood-red robe flash by in the darkness in the distance!

Yanshen Religion!
Seeing the iconic blood-red robe of the Yanshen Sect, Fang Xu frowned slightly.

These guys are so arrogant that they monitor me in front of the gate of the Ascension Society?

Back when they were in Fenglin Town, Huang Qingzhou once said that the people of Yanshen Sect were either a bunch of lunatics or they were really not afraid of the Ascension Meeting.

But according to what Yun Qing said before, the Yanshen Sect could at most be regarded as a force that could compete with the royal family of the Yu Kingdom. It was completely incomparable with a super force like the Shengxian Society.

What on earth do these guys want to do?
Looking at the direction where the bloody figure disappeared, Fang Xu thought for a while and then went straight back to the Ascension Meeting.

Nothing happened that night until the next morning, when Fang Xu got up and rushed to report to the Chuan Gong Hall.

The elder who taught him Kung Fu called him over.

"Fang Xu, your current strength is at the Martial Master Level. This is your first promotion mission."

Handing a scroll to Fang Xu, the elder who taught him skills spoke calmly.

After taking the scroll, Fang Xu opened it and took a look at it on the spot, his expression suddenly became a little strange.

He just discovered last night that people from the Yanshen Sect were monitoring him, and the first task he received today was to investigate a Yanshen Sect stronghold.

However, the location of this stronghold was within the territory of Fushan State, a neighboring country of Yu State.

The Fushan Kingdom is located in the east of the Yu Kingdom. It is an island country built in the endless ocean and one of the five countries within the influence of the Shengxian Society.

According to the description on the mission scroll, traces of the Yanshen Sect were suspected to have been discovered on Qianshan Island of Fushan Kingdom. The followers of the Yanshen Sect were arresting ordinary people on Qianshan Island. Fushan Kingdom currently has no way to deal with it, so it turned to the Shengxian Society for help.

"Elder, can't the warriors of Fushan Country handle this matter themselves?"

After reading the scroll, Fang Xu was a little confused.

For Fushan Kingdom to become a country, it must have its own warrior force.

If they can't handle it themselves, what's the point of letting yourself go through such a mess?
"The king of Fushan is a warrior with the strength of the first level of martial honor." The elder who teaches martial arts slowly said, "But the king of Fushan was poisoned some time ago, and he can't take care of himself anymore."

"The King of Fushan was poisoned?" Fang Xu frowned and asked, "Could this poison be related to the Yanshen Sect?"

If the poison that King Fushan was poisoned with was really related to the Yanshen Sect on Qianshan Island, then it would prove that the Yanshen Sect stronghold on Qianshan Island is very likely to have the strength to resist a powerful martial arts master.

Isn't it a joke to let a martial artist of the first level handle such a task?
"Don't worry." The elder who teaches you the skills laughed and said, "I'm not assigning you this mission to die."

"This mission is a special mission that Elder Wuling specifically instructed me to assign to you."

"The mission is not only your promotion assessment mission, but also a fifth-level mission listed by the Affairs Hall. The mission rewards up to 8,000 contribution points."

At this point, the elder who taught the skills smiled and said, "I know your strength, and I have also heard about the contribution points you owe."

"Please think about it. If you don't want to take this mission, I can give you a normal mission instead."

"In that case, you can complete the trip easily, but you won't earn 8,000 contribution points."

Eight thousand contribution points?
Fang Xu hesitated after hearing this.

I now owe 280,000 contribution points, and the interest is 280 a day.

If you go to carry out other promotion tasks, it will take at least ten days or even longer to go back and forth.

In this way, the interest alone would be several thousand, not to mention the contribution points that have been credited.

It would be better to really take on this task.

A careful analysis shows that the strength of King Fushan is at the first level of Martial Honor. If the strange poison in his body was really given by the followers of the Yanshen Sect, it also indirectly proves that the followers of the Yanshen Sect on Qianshan Island are very likely not able to contend with the strength of the first level of Martial Honor.

If it was just a martial artist, Fang Xu felt that he could still give it a try.

"Oh, there's one more thing." The elder who passed on his skills suddenly said, "Deacon Xu from Baicao Hall seems to need some purple blood coral to make pills recently. You can go to Baicao Hall later."

"The seas surrounding Fushan Country are rich in purple blood corals. If you are lucky, you will get a lot of contribution points."

That’s okay! ?

Hearing the words of the elder who taught him martial arts, Fang Xu was immediately overjoyed.

"But...but I'm not an inner disciple, so I can't accept the mission from Baicaotang." Fang Xu said with some difficulty.

His relationship with Xu Changqing was not very good, and because of the Wuhuan incident, there was some unhappiness between them.

"Hehe... I heard that your sister is now Deacon Xu's favorite disciple. Boy, don't you know how to adapt?"

"Okay, let's go."

"Now, one hour is equivalent to forty contribution points for you."

Fang Xu: “…”

Damn, after hearing this, he really felt a lot of pressure!

"Thank you for your advice, Elder. I'll take my leave now!"

Forty contribution points in an hour, he did not dare to delay and left the Transmission Hall immediately.

"Master, will it be okay to force this kid like this?"

In the Kung Fu Transmission Hall, Jiang Feng appeared in front of the Kung Fu Transmission Elder at some point.

"It's okay. If you know about this kid's past, you will know that he has a strong ability to withstand pressure."

"Only this kind of constant pressure can bring out his potential bit by bit."

At this point, Jiang Feng's face was a little solemn. "During the core disciple selection, Yushan Tianyi from my Yu Country branch disappeared, and there was news from the Immortal Island that a force was trying to infiltrate several countries controlled by my Ascension Society."

"I have a feeling that something big will happen soon."

After hearing his words, the elder who passed on the skills showed a trace of shock on his face and said, "Is this matter related to the Yanshen Sect?"

Jiang Feng did not answer, but said calmly: "The affairs of the Yanshen Sect should not be underestimated. After all, it involves the legendary Yanshen."

"Linghe, the tasks for the disciples who have recently applied to be promoted to the inner sect will be raised to a higher level."

"We must prepare for a rainy day."

After saying this, Jiang Feng slowly left the Kung Fu Transmission Hall.

Purple Orchid Peak.

It was early February, and although it was still cold outside, the valley where Zi Lan Peak was located was already full of flowers and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants were thriving.

Fang Xu arrived at the gate of the valley and was about to go in, but he saw two disciples from Baicaotang walking out.

Su Cheng! ?
Seeing that it was his old enemy Su Cheng who was walking towards him, Fang Xu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Su Cheng also noticed Fang Xu at this time. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, but he then tried his best to cover it up.

"As an outer disciple, you run around everywhere and don't know any rules?" Su Cheng said coldly.

Fang Xu smiled faintly: "There shouldn't be any rules in the Ascension Association that prohibit outer disciples from coming to Baicaotang, right?"

Su Cheng was confronted, his face froze, and he wanted to say something, but Fang Xu was too lazy to pay attention. He had already thought about it. After he was promoted to an inner disciple, in addition to rescuing his master Lu Zhiyuan first, the second thing he would do was to submit his identity to the inner sect as an inner disciple and go on the life and death stage with Su Cheng!
Damn!

If I don't beat him to death, I will never be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart!
"Go, follow this kid and see what he wants to do?" Seeing Fang Xu already walking into the valley, Su Cheng whispered to the Baicaotang disciple beside him.

The disciple did not dare to disobey his order. He bowed slightly and followed Fang Xu into the valley.

Thatched cottage.

Fang Xu and Chu Mu came to Xu Changqing together.

"Fang Xu, the Ascension Society has its own rules. Although I need purple blood coral, I have already handed this matter over to the Affairs Hall. If you want to take this task, go to the Affairs Hall yourself."

Xu Changqing said in a somewhat cold manner.

"Can……"

"Master, you know that my brother is not yet an inner disciple and cannot accept the tasks of the Affairs Hall!"

Fang Xu was about to speak, but Chu Mu at the side spoke first.

Xu Changqing looked at her, his expression slightly softened, but he was still unwilling to give in: "Master has already posted the task, you can't let me violate the rules of the Ascension Society for this kid, right?"

Xu Changqing kept talking about rules, which made Fang Xu frown.

"Master, I know that the amount of purple blood coral you need is huge, and it is impossible to gather it all in a short time."

"Please help my brother..."

Chu Mu spoke with a hint of coquettishness in her tone as she gently shook Xu Changqing's arm.

"alright!"

"You are shaking my old bones apart."

Xu Changqing looked at Chu Mu helplessly.

As a holy body of elixir, Chu Mu's comprehension is also very high. After just a few days of entering the sect, Xu Changqing has already discovered that Chu Mu's talent in alchemy is the best among all the disciples he has recruited in all these years.

Xu Changqing could even feel that Chu Mu had a great chance of surpassing his master in the future and getting ahead of him in the way of alchemy.

Therefore, Xu Changqing was extremely fond of such a disciple.

"How about this……"

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Changqing said, "The task I have assigned to the Affairs Hall is fifty contribution points for each ten-year-old blood coral. For every ten years that the coral grows, the contribution points will increase by ten points."

"Since you are on your way, I will give you the minimum price of 40 contribution points in my personal capacity. Do you think it is okay?"

The reserve price was forty...ten points less than what the Affairs Hall offered.

It’s already very good!

"Thank you, Deacon Xu!" Fang Xu bowed.

Xu Changqing waved his hand: "Okay, go ahead."

"Master, I'll see my brother off." Chu Mu spoke quickly and accompanied Fang Xu out of the thatched cottage.

In the valley, Fang Xu gently rubbed Chu Mu's head and said, "Girl, thank you."

Chu Mu paused, glared at Fang Xu angrily and said:

"Why are you being so polite to me!?"

Fang Xu smiled faintly and said, "I just met Su Cheng at the entrance of the valley. Has that guy been giving you any trouble recently?"

"Su Cheng?" Chu Mu shook his head and said, "He is too busy to take care of himself right now."

Fang Xu was curious: "What happened?"

Chu Mu said proudly: "Of course it's because your sister, I, joined Baicaotang and stole his limelight."

"He saw that Master doted on me recently, so he felt a sense of crisis." Having said this, Chu Mu lowered his voice and said, "Brother Fang Xu, do you think I should tell Master about that guy who had hired someone to kill you in Fenglin Town?"

"Master will definitely believe me." Chu Mu added.

"no!"

Fang Xu immediately refused after hearing this: "Don't worry about it, my brother will handle it."

Xu Changqing now favors Chu Mu very much, but this thing still cannot be done.

First, if one of his disciples hired someone to assassinate a fellow disciple, the Law Enforcement Hall would inevitably intervene. By then, the entire Yu State branch of the Ascension Society would know that Xu Changqing's eldest disciple had openly defied the rules of the Ascension Society.

It is inevitable that Su Cheng will be punished, and at the same time, Baicaotang and Xu Changqing will also lose face.

Secondly, Chu Mu will continue to practice with Xu Changqing in the future. Huang Qingzhou once said that Su Cheng has followed Xu Changqing for decades. The relationship between the two seems to be master and apprentice, but in fact it is like father and son.

Chu Mu spoke out this matter, causing Su Cheng to be punished, which would inevitably create a rift in the relationship between her and Xu Changqing.

Therefore, it is best to solve this matter by yourself.

"Ok."

In fact, Chu Mu could understand these principles, but he just felt that Su Cheng almost killed Fang Xu and planned to take him away to make pills, and he couldn't swallow this anger.

"Okay, Mu, practice hard recently. You have made progress in alchemy, but you can't fall behind in your own cultivation."

"I am leaving."

At the entrance of the valley, Fang Xu looked at the little girl and said with a smile.

"Brother, be careful." Chu Mu nodded, then took out a book from his arms and handed it to Fang Xu, saying, "This is for you, brother."

Fang Xu took the book and flipped through it. Seeing that most of the records on it were introductions and diagrams of some medicinal herbs, he put it in his arms, patted Chu Mu's head gently, and turned to walk towards the mountain gate.

In the corner of the valley, the Baicaotang disciple came to Su Cheng and whispered, "Big Brother, I found out that the boy went to ask Master for help, and it seems that it was about the purple blood coral."

"Purple Blood Coral... This kid is going to Fushan Kingdom?" Su Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

At the gate of Shengxianhui Mountain, Fang Xu just came out and found Huang Qingzhou coming towards him leading a cloud-stepping horse.

"Fang Xu, I heard that you are going to Fushan Country to carry out a mission?"

Fang Xu nodded and asked in confusion: "Senior Brother Huang is also going to Fushan Country?"

Huang Qingzhou shook his head and said:

"I'm not going."

"Hey! I'll lend you this Cloud-Stepping Horse."

Cloud-walking horse?
Looking at the unusually tall Cloud-stepping Horse in front of him, Fang Xu gently stroked its mane.

A top-quality Cloud-Walking Horse can travel eight thousand miles a day. Although Huang Qingzhou's horse is not a top-quality Cloud-Walking Horse, it should still be able to travel four to five thousand miles a day.

To go to Fushan Kingdom, he needs to cross Zhongzhou and reach the coast of the East China Sea. The distance is nearly ten thousand miles. With this Cloud-Treading Horse, it is indeed more time-saving.

"Oh, by the way, Senior Brother Huang, Uncle Yuan..."

During his retreat, the old ape was brought to see Jiang Feng by Huang Qingzhou, as he wanted to know the old ape's current situation.

"I don't know. After I brought Uncle Yuan to see the Elder in Charge, he was kicked out. I don't know what happened afterwards."

Fang Xu sighed in disappointment: "Okay."

"Take care, brother. I'm leaving now."

Riding on the Cloud-Stepping Horse, Fang Xu headed straight towards the east.

At the same time, a secret letter was quickly delivered to the Lu family in Qingzhou, the Tuoba family in Jizhou and other forces of the Yu State.

The secret letter contained only one thing: Fang Xu, whom they had been hunting for several months, had now left the Ascension Society and was preparing to head to the East China Sea and then to Fushan Kingdom.

After receiving the secret letter, the heads of various countries could no longer sit still.

To be honest, from the time the Blue Mountain ruins were first mentioned, various forces joined forces to hunt down Fang Xu, and they had not considered the consequences of a failed pursuit.

Now, the manhunt has failed, Fang Xu has successfully joined the Ascension Society, and all the families and forces are getting anxious.

So many noble families united together and set up a tight net along the way, but Fang Xu still escaped in the end. All the major families and forces saw Fang Xu's wisdom and potential from this.

Fang Xu did not die, and they became mortal enemies again.

What they have to consider now is no longer the matter of "first-grade martial arts", but how to face Fang Xu's revenge.

Although Fang Xu does not have enough strength to threaten them now, with his potential, within a few years, he will definitely grow to the same level as the leaders of the major forces, or even surpass them.

The danger must be nipped in the bud!

At the Lu Family in Qingzhou, Saint Lu shattered the secret letter in his hand and said solemnly, "Is this secret letter definitely sent by someone from the Ascension Society?"

The servant who received the letter nodded and said, "That person did claim to be from the Ascension Society, but he covered his face, so I don't know..."

Bang!
Before he could finish his words, Saint Lu slapped out with his palm, killing the servant on the spot!

"Brother, why is this?"

Lu Jingren on the side frowned and asked.

"Someone in the Shengxian Society doesn't want that kid to live, but doesn't want to expose his identity, so he plans to use us to get rid of him."

"My purpose in doing this is naturally to reassure the person from the Ascension Society, and to see if I can use this opportunity to contact him."

"Okay, have someone hang his body on the top of Qingzhou City."

If a person is killed, his death must be of some value.

"Brother, what should we do now?" Lu Jingren said, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Do you want me to lead people to kill that kid!?"

"Nonsense!" As soon as he finished speaking, Saint Lu immediately scolded him, "Are you planning to drag the entire Lu family to be buried with that kid!?"

"We must not let the direct descendants of the Lu family do this!"

Lu Jingren was slightly stunned, and then he understood what his elder brother meant.

Fang Xu is now a disciple of the Ascension Society. If he dies, the Ascension Society will at least send someone to investigate the cause of death.

If it is found that Fang Xu's death is related to the Lu family, as the price of provoking the Ascension Society, the Lu family may be suppressed to death by the Ascension Society.

"Don't worry, the other party definitely doesn't know how to find us. Other forces have probably received this letter."

"Go and arrange it. Make sure you don't leave any traces."

Saint Lu waved his hand.

At the same time, all major forces began to make intensive arrangements, preparing to completely kill Fang Xu on the road leading to Fushan Kingdom to eliminate future troubles.

Zhongzhou, Canghai City.

As a coastal city of the State of Yu bordering the sea, Canghai City is a huge city rich in salt mines, many ferocious sea beasts, and rare fish.

Outside Canghai City, a man with a mustache, a hunched back and a bamboo hat on his head, led an old horse and walked slowly into the city gate as the crowd flowed.

No one knows that this man is Fang Xu, whom all major forces and families have been desperately looking for!
