Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 148 Undersea Taboo, Immortal Carved Stone Boat!
The loud voice echoed on the sea, and Fang Xu stood quietly on the boat waiting.

After about a quarter of an hour, a rapid current slowly appeared on the sea in the distance, rapidly approaching the direction where Fang Xu was!
The water flow came to a position not far from the boat, slowly slowed down, and then a huge head slowly emerged from the water.

When Fang Xu saw Changlong's head, he carefully discovered that there were two faintly bulging bumps on its head!
"Fang Xu!"

The dragon's head emerged from the water and an excited voice was heard.

"Changlong, long time no see." Fang Xu said with a faint smile.

The dragon's huge body wrapped the boat, and its head stretched in front of Fang Xu, with a hint of dependence in its only remaining eye.

"Changlong, do me a favor." Fang Xu patted its big head gently and said.

"Ok!"

It was obvious that during this period of time, Changlong's wisdom had increased and his speech had become much clearer and more fluent.

"I want to go to Yu State, can you take me there?" Fang Xu asked.

Changlong has now become intelligent and a demon, and his strength should have increased a lot.

But this is the sea, which is far more terrifying than land. Fang Xu first needs to understand whether the long dragon can safely cross this sea.

"no problem."

"As long as you don't go to the bottom of the deep sea, you'll be fine."

Changlong said solemnly.

Apparently after becoming a monster, its strength is enough to intimidate the sea beasts in this sea area.

Fang Xu nodded, put the boat under him into the Qiankun bag, jumped up, and landed steadily on Changlong's head. Seeing the two small bulges on his head, he asked curiously: "Changlong, are you going to turn into a dragon?"

Changlong said proudly: "Yes!"

Among the many species of ferocious beasts in the sea, the many species with scales and armor seem to eventually evolve into dragons.

The first step before transforming into a dragon is to transform into a dragon.

A Jiao is a dragon without feet.

"Congratulations." Fang Xu said with a smile.

"Thank you so much." The long dragon said as he swam.

The voice sounds like that of a seven or eight year old child, very childish.

Standing on the head of the long dragon, the surrounding sea water quickly receded. The speed of the long dragon was even faster than the Liang family treasure ship they had ridden before.

Moreover, after it gained intelligence, its strength was comparable to that of a seventh-level beast, and no other sea beasts dared to approach it.

"Long dragon."

"Do you know where I can find something like this?"

Standing on the dragon's head, Fang Xu felt a little bored. Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he took out a hundred-year-old purple blood coral from his Qiankun bag and asked.

The dragon slowly slowed down, stared at the purple blood coral in Fang Xu's hand, and said with some disdain: "It's everywhere on the seabed!"

Everywhere?

Fang Xu was instantly overjoyed when he heard this.

"This kind is too small and not tasty. Long dragons on the seabed always look for the really long ones to eat. They are crunchy and delicious!"

Very long! ?

After hearing this, Fang Xu was even more surprised.

Purple blood coral, even a hundred years old, is only a few inches long. From what Changlong said, it seems that he has seen even longer ones!
What year is that?

"Fang Xu, do you want to go look for him?" Changlong asked.

Fang Xu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there any around here?"

"Hold me tight." Changlong did not answer, but took Fang Xu directly into the sea and swam towards the deep sea.

As he dived deeper and deeper, Fang Xu felt the pressure of the surrounding sea water becoming greater and greater, and he couldn't help but want the dragon to carry him up.

The water pressure here has reached a terrifying level. Fang Xu estimated that ordinary martial artists would not be able to withstand diving to this depth.

hum!
At this moment, a faint blood energy suddenly emanated from Changlong's body. This blood energy formed a bubble that squeezed away the surrounding sea water, wrapping Fang Xu inside, and the surrounding water pressure disappeared instantly.

Soon, they arrived at the bottom of the sea.

In the dark underwater world, apart from some marine plants, basically no other animals can be seen.

The long dragon took Fang Xu through the seabed. Whenever they passed by some rare plants, Fang Xu would let the long dragon pause for a while, then take out the medicinal material atlas that Chu Mu gave him and compare them carefully.

After stopping and walking several times, Fang Xu felt that this was a bit troublesome and stopped identifying it.

He collected all the rare plants he thought were special and threw them into his Qiankun bag.

During this period, he finally saw the very long purple blood coral that Changlong had described.

Looking at the purple blood corals that had already branched out densely, Fang Xu no longer bothered to count how old they were. He simply pulled them up by the roots and threw them into his Qiankun bag.

Relying on the bubbles formed by the qi and blood on the dragon's body, there is no need to worry about breathing problems for the time being. Fang Xu is like a farmer in the autumn harvest period, happily collecting various rare plants on the seabed.

Fluorescent seaweed, red fruits with strange spots, and the afterbirth of earth immortals that looks like rocks...

Following the long dragon, Fang Xu had unknowingly traveled a long way under the sea.

"hold head high!"

Just as Fang Xu was about to let Changlong swim towards a one-meter-long purple blood coral in front, a low and terrifying sound suddenly came from the bottom of the sea!

next moment!
Changlong's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the only remaining light in his eyes revealed the most instinctive fear from the depths of his soul!

call out!
Ignoring the purple blood coral in front of him, Changlong and Fang Xu suddenly rushed upwards!

Holding tightly onto the scales on the dragon's body, Fang Xu looked in the direction where the sound came from.

In the dark and deep seabed, a huge monster stands quietly on the fine sand!

That's a ship!

A ship made entirely of stone!

The hull was extremely terrifying, with several complex and mysterious patterns engraved on it!
After just one glance, Fang Xu felt his soul trembling, and the stone gate world in the acupoint space seemed to have subtle changes at this moment.

The long dragon was moving very fast. Fang Xu had no time to see what the patterns carved on the stone boat were before he was taken away by the dragon.

On the sea.

The long dragon figure suddenly jumped out!
"It's so scary, how could we encounter that thing!" Changlong said in shock.

Fang Xu's face was solemn, the outline of the stone ship still lingering in his mind.

"Longlong, what is that?"

"The Immortal Stone Boat." Changlong said in a trembling voice, "That is a taboo in the ocean."

"No one knows what is inside the stone boat, let alone where it is going."

Immortal carved stone boat?

Fang Xu frowned slightly.

"Why are you so afraid of Shizhou?"

Changlong shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, but when I saw it, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart."

"Fang Xu, let's go around."

"If the Immortal Stone Boat appears in this sea area, something bad will definitely happen."

After Changlong finished speaking, without waiting for Fang Xu's consent, he immediately swam quickly in the opposite direction of the Xianke stone boat.

As it traveled at full speed, on the third day, Fang Xu saw the coastline ahead.

"Changlong, just put me down when you get to the shallow sea."

The coastline of Yu State is not like that of Fushan State.

Martial arts flourished in the State of Yu. There were many naval forces of the State of Yu who patrolled the coastline from time to time and hunted down those sea monsters that dared to enter the coastal area and cause trouble.

If the dragon approaches the coast, it is likely to be discovered by naval ships.

Although the navy would certainly be unable to do anything to it with its current strength, Fang Xu did not want to make too much noise.

After all, he had to keep a low profile at all times in the State of Yu. If he caused any bigger troubles, it would only cause the aristocratic families and forces of the State of Yu to entangle him.

After being brought to a shallow sea by the dragon, Fang Xu took out the small boat from his Qiankun bag and jumped onto it.

"Changlong, see you later."

"See you later, Fang Xu." Changlong shook his head, then turned around and dived into the sea.

After seeing off the long dragon, he rowed the boat alone towards the distant coastline.

In order not to attract other people's attention, Fang Xu used the fishing net on the boat to spread some fish and shrimp, disguising himself as a fisherman going out to sea.

After docking, he carried the fish and shrimp on the boat and walked towards Canghai City.

When entering Canghai City, it was getting dark. Fang Xu found an inn to stay in, and then prepared to go to the Shengxianhui base in the city early the next morning to find his Treading Cloud Horse and return to the mountain gate to hand in the task as soon as possible.

A month has passed since I came out to carry out this mission.

The interest on the debt alone is over ten thousand contribution points.

Fortunately, the mission was completed well, and a lot of purple blood corals and some rare sea herbs were obtained. I believe that I should earn a considerable amount of contribution points.

At night, Fang Xu was sitting cross-legged in the room practicing meditation when a slight noise suddenly reached his ears.

He slowly opened his eyes and opened the window of the room, and saw a group of people chasing a woman who was fleeing in panic on the moonlit street!
The woman was not very old. Although she was wearing tattered clothes and looked quite disheveled, her beautiful face could not be concealed.

Seeing this, Fang Xu thought that it was just a group of horny guys who had evil intentions because of the girl's beauty. He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so he wanted to close the window and continue to rest.

"Don't... don't come here!"

"If you come over here again, I...I will commit suicide!"

As intermittent sounds came, Fang Xu frowned slightly.

"Brother, the employer said that we need it alive. If it dies, it's worthless."

A somewhat shrunken male voice sounded.

"Humph!"

"Want to die? It's not that easy!"

Bang!
when!
There was a sound of a weapon falling to the ground, and it was obvious that the girl didn't even have a chance to die.

"Brother, this girl from Yushan Country is so pretty, how about we... hehe..."

"Are you crazy!?"

"My employer said that a virgin is the most valuable!"

"If you want to have fun, after I send this little bitch to her employer, I will take you to the best brothel in Canghai City and pick ten of them for you. I will let you die on a woman's belly!"

"Take her away quickly, we have to find the next one!"

"Damn it, there aren't many Yushan people in Canghai City. We have to hurry up..."

The voice gradually faded away, but Fang Xu in the room frowned.

Judging from what the following people said, it seemed that these people were specifically targeting people from Yushan Country.

The former Yushan Kingdom was an island country in the sea like the Fushan Kingdom.

But many years ago, the island where the Yushan Kingdom was located was destroyed by a mysterious force, and 90% of the people on the island died. The remaining Yushan people fled to the Yu Kingdom.

Yushan Tianyi is the princess of Yushan Kingdom.

Didn’t the royal family of the State of Yu already announce that they would accept the people of Yushan as common people of Dayu?
Why did these people want to arrest people from Yushan Kingdom?

From what they said, it seemed like someone hired them to do this.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Xu still couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think any more about it and just regarded it as a small episode.

The next morning, after leaving the inn, Fang Xu headed straight to the Shengxianhui base in Canghai City.

After retrieving his Cloud-Stepping Horse from the stronghold, Fang Xu was about to leave when he saw a disciple of the Ascension Society rushing in from outside.

"Brother!"

"Brother!"

"Junior Brother Su has been captured!"

Fang Xu was stunned for a moment and looked at the disciple of the Ascension Society curiously.

The person in charge of the base also looked at the newcomer with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Who captured Junior Brother Su?"

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I heard that many people from Yushan were arrested recently. Junior Brother Su is also from Yushan, so I plan to investigate secretly."

"This morning I went to look for Junior Brother Su and found that he was not at home. There were signs of fighting in his house. Obviously, he must have been captured."

The person in charge of the stronghold frowned and immediately looked at Fang Xu and asked, "Junior Brother Fang, are you going back to the sect?"

Fang Xu nodded.

The man said, "Then please ask Junior Brother Fang to report this matter to the steward of the affairs hall and ask the sect to send someone to investigate."

Fang Xu nodded slightly, kept the matter in mind, and immediately rode on his horse to Huayang Mountain.

The gate of Shengxianhui Mountain.

It was already noon the next day when Fang Xu rushed back.

After handing the Cloud-Traveling Horse to the disciple guarding the mountain gate, Fang Xu was about to enter the mountain when he happened to meet Su Cheng who was walking out of the mountain gate.

"Fang Xu, why are you back?!"

Su Cheng was obviously a little surprised to see Fang Xu return.

"Senior Brother Su doesn't seem to want me to come back." Fang Xu said with a smile.

When he went out to carry out the mission this time, he encountered warriors from the Tuoba family in Canghai City who were searching with his portrait. It was obvious that someone had leaked his itinerary.

The first person Fang Xu suspected was Su Cheng.

However, in order to confirm this matter, he still needed to meet the disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall who was responsible for monitoring his mission.

"Hehe... I just heard that there have been a lot of ferocious beasts on the sea recently, and no ships dare to go out to sea. Junior brother went to Fushan Country to carry out a mission, but he came back so quickly. Did he fail in the mission?"

"Brother, how do you know that I was going to Fushan Kingdom to carry out a mission?" Fang Xu asked with a smile.

Su Cheng's expression froze, and then he said calmly: "The outer disciples' promotion mission is not a secret. You can find out by asking around."

Fang Xu smiled when he heard this: "That senior brother really cares about me and specifically asked about my promotion mission."

"You..." Su Cheng's eyes flickered, staring at Fang Xu with a little anger.

Fang Xu didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked straight towards the mountain gate.

Looking at Fang Xu's disappearing back, Su Cheng's face was gloomy.

"A bunch of trash!"

……

In the Transmission Hall, after Fang Xu came back, he first went to pay a visit to the Transmission Elder and briefly explained the matter of this mission.

"I already know your mission. You did a good job."

"Do you need to rest for a while before taking on the second mission?"

The elder who taught the skills said with a smile.

Fang Xu shook his head: "It's not too tiring this time. Elder, please arrange a second task for me as soon as possible."

The elder who passed on the skills nodded and said, "In that case, you can come to me tomorrow to receive the second mission."

Fang Xu stood up and bowed. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly said, "Elder, I want to know who is the brother from the Law Enforcement Hall who is in charge of supervising me on this mission to Fushan Country?"

Upon hearing this, the elder who was passing on the skills frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you asking about this?"

Fang Xu smiled faintly: "I wasted a lot of time on the sea when I went there, and made my senior brother from the Law Enforcement Hall wait for a long time. I want to go and apologize to my senior brother."

Hearing this, the elder who taught the skills laughed.

"Little guy, you know a lot about the ways of the world."

"His name is Gan Zhen. He should be in the Law Enforcement Hall now. Let's go."

"Thank you, Elder." Fang Xu bowed, left the Transmission Hall, and headed directly towards the Affairs Hall.

His promotion task this time was a fourth-level task listed in the Affairs Hall. After completing it, he would be rewarded with contribution points, so he had to claim the reward quickly.

Shengxianhui, affairs hall.

As soon as Fang Xu arrived, a charming woman in a red dress slowly walked towards him.

"I am Yan Wu, and I am Fang Xu, the deacon of the affairs hall. You have completed the mission well this time."

Fang Xu felt a little uncomfortable with Yan Wu's enthusiasm, so he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Deacon Yan Wu."

Yan Wu laughed, looked Fang Xu up and down, and said calmly: "Your performance reminds me of my disciple."

"She was once as talented as you. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be a core disciple now."

"Unfortunately……"

Hearing this, Fang Xu frowned slightly. He vaguely guessed who the "brilliant disciple" Yan Wu was referring to was.

"I heard that Tianyi had troubled you when talking about the Blue Mountain ruins?" Yanwu looked at Fang Xu with scrutiny in his eyes.

"Is Deacon Yanwu talking about Senior Sister Yushan Tianyi?"

"Exactly."

"There are indeed some misunderstandings between Senior Sister Tianyi and my disciple." Fang Xu bowed slightly.

"Tell me." Yanwu said expressionlessly.

Fang Xu thought for a moment and said, "Senior Sister Tianyi has a lover named Zhang Mingyue. That person has some grudges against me. Senior Sister Tianyi wants to help Zhang Mingyue teach me a lesson."

"Just a lesson?" Yan Wu said with a half-smile, "I know Tianyi's temper well. If she attacks, she will definitely want to take your life."

Fang Xu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed."

"However, Senior Brother Huang Qingzhou tried his best to protect his disciple, and Senior Sister Tianyi did not do it herself. She just took the disciple into the Tilanshan ruins, ready to let the boy fend for himself in there."

He didn't expect that Yanwu actually knew that Yushan Tianyi was going to kill him.

"But now, you have come out of the ruins alive, but Tianyi is missing." Yanwu said calmly: "Tell me, I want to know what happened to Tianyi and whether she is still alive."

There was already some coldness in these words, causing Fang Xu's heart to tighten slightly.

Yushan Tianyi is the candidate with the greatest hope of being promoted to a core disciple. As her master, it would undoubtedly be a very glorious thing for Yanwu to be able to train a core disciple.

And judging from the fact that Yanwu knew Yushan Tianyi's unconventional personality and yet she indulged her, the relationship between the master and the disciple should be very good.

"Disciple doesn't know."

"Our group encountered an incident on the second level of the ruins and were separated."

"I have never seen Senior Sister Tianyi again since then."

Fang Xu replied calmly.

"Is it really like that?" Yan Wu asked, staring at him.

Fang Xu shook his head.

"Ugh!"

Yan Wu suddenly put away his aura, sighed slightly and said: "This girl really makes me worry."

"Hey, this is your reward for this mission."

Yan Wu said as he handed a black token to Fang Xu, "The black token represents 50,000 contribution points. I know you still owe contribution points to the Cliff Underground Palace. If you give the token to Elder Wuling, it will be worth 50,000."

After saying that, she turned around and walked into the affairs hall.

Fang Xu looked at the black token in his hand, but he did not feel much joy in his heart.

Yanwu made a special trip today to wait for him at the door of the affairs hall to ask about Yushan Tianyi. It was obvious that she had doubts about Yushan Tianyi's disappearance.

Yushan Tianyi was captured by the Yanshen Sect, and he had a bad feeling in his heart!

Yushan Tianyi may still be alive!

If Yushan Tianyi returned to the Shengxian Society and told him what he had done in the Tilanshan ruins, he didn't know whether the Immortal Society would punish them both or choose to believe Yushan Tianyi and punish himself.

do not care!
After some thought, Fang Xu felt that it would not be so easy for Yushan Tianyi to escape since he fell into the hands of Yanshen Sect.

After all, those crazy people are not good men and women.

After leaving the Office, he rushed to Baicaotang without stopping.

After returning from Fushan Kingdom this time, Fang Xu felt that he should be able to exchange for a lot of contribution points, including the purple blood coral given by Gong Wanrong, the purple blood coral collected by himself and Changlong on the seabed, and various rare herbs.

On the way, Fang Xu found a deserted place and put the purple blood coral in the Qiankun bag and a bunch of herbs collected from the sea into a package. He then carried the package and walked towards Baicaotang.

In the valley where Baicaotang was located, Xu Changqing was sitting cross-legged in a thatched cottage explaining various matters of alchemy to a group of disciples.

Fang Xu did not disturb him and stood quietly aside waiting for it to end.

An hour later, Xu Changqing ended the course and asked the disciples to go back and learn on their own.

"Brother Fang Xu, you're back!?"

In the thatched cottage, Chu Mu had already noticed Fang Xu standing nearby. As soon as her master finished his explanation, she rushed to Fang Xu like a young swallow returning to its nest.

When the disciples of Baicaotang saw this scene, they all looked at Fang Xu curiously.

Chu Mu, as a holy body of Danxiang, is deeply loved by Xu Changqing. In addition, her outstanding appearance makes many disciples of Baicaotang feel good about this little sister and show her care and love for her.

However, Chu Mu always kept a distance from them and seemed a little unfamiliar.

When seeing Fang Xu at this time, Chu Mu suddenly showed a different side of himself, which made the disciples of Baicaotang feel a little curious.

"Who is that boy?"

"I heard Junior Sister call him Brother Fang Xu. Could it be that this guy is the first in this year's entrance examination?"

"He is Junior Sister's brother?"

"What brother? One of them is surnamed Fang and the other is surnamed Chu. It's obvious that they are not siblings!"

"What do you mean, why is the little apprentice sister so enthusiastic about him?"

"Needless to say, my dear brother..."

A group of onlookers looked at Fang Xu and Chu Mu and pointed fingers at them, and some of them felt a little jealous.

"Mu, bring him here." Xu Changqing said lightly in the thatched cottage.

Chu Mu nodded and brought Fang Xu to the thatched cottage.

The disciples of Baicaotang were not in a hurry to leave at this time. They all wanted to see what Fang Xu was here for.

"Fang Xu greets Deacon Xu."

Fang Xu bowed slightly to Xu Changqing and took off the package on his back.

Looking at the huge package that Fang Xu brought, Xu Changqing was a little surprised and said, "You have gained a lot from this trip to Fushan Country."

Fang Xu smiled and nodded, saying, "Deacon Xu, I didn't find many decades of purple blood coral this time."

Hearing this, Xu Changqing shook his head and said, "Only purple blood corals that are over ten years old can be used as medicine. I don't want those that are less than ten years old."

Fang Xu was slightly stunned, then he clasped his hands and said, "What the disciple meant is that there are not many ten-year ones, most of them are more than ten years old."

Xu Changqing was startled for a moment, then he looked at a disciple beside him and said, "Duanmu Ju, come and count for me."

The disciple named Duanmu Ju hurriedly bowed, then opened Fang Xu's package curiously.
