Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 155: On the stage of life and death, is Emperor Yu about to break through?
After ascending the Immortal Platform, Jiang Lu's face changed instantly after hearing his disciple's report!

He was also present when the Law Enforcement Hall was competing for Fang Xu yesterday, and he was very clear about Fang Xu's potential.

Jiang Feng, the elder in charge of the Yu Kingdom's Ascension Society, personally competed with their group of deacons for disciples, which was enough to prove how much Jiang Feng valued Fang Xu.

"Quickly notify Chu Rendi of the Law Enforcement Hall, and send someone to invite Elder Jiang as well!"

Before Jiang Lu set off, he immediately arranged for his disciples to invite Chu Rendi and Jiang Feng over.

"By the way, let's go to Baicao Hall and invite Deacon Xu as well!"

If Fang Xu were to force his way onto the eighth floor this time, and if he couldn't bear the pressure and his soul was hurt, Deacon Xu could help heal him.

A moment later, several figures suddenly flashed across the sky above Tianluan Peak.

After reaching the seventh level of Martial Honor, short-term flight in the air is no longer a difficult task. At this time, Jiang Feng, Chu Rendi and Xu Changqing all rushed to the Immortal Platform.

"Old man Jiang, how is my disciple?"

As soon as he arrived at Dengxiantai, Chu Rendi didn't even have time to take a look, and directly grabbed Jiang Lu's shoulder and asked.

"Up there."

Jiang Lu spoke with a serious expression.

Chu Rendi, Jiang Feng and Xu Changqing all looked up at the Ascension Platform.

On the eighth floor of the Immortal Terrace, Fang Xu already had one foot on the platform, but the other foot was still on the seventh step of the seventh floor.

He had been in this position for a quarter of an hour.

After Chu Rendi took a look, he flashed and rushed to the immortal platform to bring Fang Xu down.

"Junior Brother Chu."

Jiang Feng flashed and stopped him, saying, "Junior Brother Chu, you are too concerned."

"You should be very clear about the restrictions of Dengxiantai. Fang Xu's current state, in a sense, maintains a delicate balance."

"If you rush up to him rashly, the moment you touch him, the pressure of the restriction you bear will break his current state, causing him to suffer serious injuries instantly."

"At the very least, your soul will be damaged, at the worst, your soul will be shattered on the spot!"

When Chu Rendi heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He realized that he was too anxious and careless, and he didn't dare to rush forward to save people.

"Brother Jiang, you must immediately have people seal off the entrance to Dengxiantai and persuade those disciples who have already climbed up to return. Before my disciple comes down, no one is allowed to enter Dengxiantai again."

There was no way to save people now, so Chu Rendi immediately took a tough stance and asked Jiang Lu to seal off Dengxiantai.

"This..." Jiang Lu looked at Jiang Feng beside him with a rather unhappy expression.

Jiang Feng also knew that it would be best if Fang Xu was not disturbed by any external reasons at the moment, so he waved his hand and said, "Do as Junior Brother Chu said."

Jiang Lu cupped his hands, and then ordered his disciples to directly seal the entrance below.

The many inner and outer disciples at the entrance of Dengxiantai were also very cooperative. They all stood quietly in the square and watched, wanting to witness the birth of a miracle.

"Old Xu, if anything happens to my apprentice, you can't escape responsibility!"

Looking up at Fang Xu, Chu Rendi suddenly felt a little annoyed. He turned around and spoke coldly to Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing frowned slightly, a little puzzled: "What do you mean, Junior Brother Chu?"

"What do you mean?" Chu Rendi sneered, "If you hadn't imprisoned his master in Fenglin Town for the sake of your damn face and forced him to challenge the Dengxiantai, would he have gone up?"

"A useless disciple is dead, so what? Do you want my disciple to die at the cost of his life?"

"That's my savior!" Xu Changqing heard this and felt a surge of anger in his heart, "Brother Chu, do you think my life is not worth his chance to reach the seventh level of the Immortal Platform?"

"Oh! Your life?" Chu Rendi laughed in anger, and the aura of the ninth level of martial arts slowly dissipated from his body: "Xu Changqing, ask yourself, is it really just because of this?"

"enough!"

Seeing the two arguing, Jiang Feng interrupted them coldly, "Chang Qing, have someone release Lu Zhiyuan immediately."

"Also, Junior Brother Chu, don't worry too much. This is both a disaster and a blessing for Fang Xu."

"Being able to temper his soul on the Ascension Platform will be of great benefit to his future."

"Besides, isn't he still okay now?"

Chu Rendi didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed on Fang Xu on the Ascension Platform.

At this time, Fang Xu was completely immersed in a strange state.

In the nameless space, a huge iron hammer that was completely black in color but had a strange luster was hammering a human-shaped sculpture with a bronze luster over and over again.

Although it is called a sculpture, it looks like a piece of light and shadow condensed by bronze light.

In the void, the terrifying giant hammer struck the light and shadow again and again, and with this hammering, the light and shadow became more and more solid.

I don’t know how much time has passed, Fang Xu on the immortal platform slowly opened his eyes!
The moment the pair of eyes, which were originally black and white, suddenly opened, a bronze light flashed!
The next moment, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then the foot that was resting on the seventh stone step on the seventh floor was lifted up directly and stepped onto the platform of the eighth floor without hesitation.

Seeing this scene, everyone who had been waiting quietly for three days felt their hearts in their throats!

"Eighth floor!"

"He's standing up!"

"Hold on! Hold on, Brother Fang Xu!"

"hold onto!"

"Senior Brother Fang's body is shaking!"

"After three breaths, Senior Brother Fang seems to have stood firm!"

"Too abnormal, could this kid be a transformed monster?"

"A martial artist of the second level possesses a soul comparable to that of a martial master. It won't take long before he gets the Immortal Ascension Order..."

In front of the Dengxiantai, Jiang Lu, Chu Rendi and others were all staring at the swaying figure above.

Then, they felt relieved when they saw Fang Xu's body shaking less.

“Senior Brother Jiang also reached the great perfection of martial arts before he reached the eighth level, right?” Chu Rendi said with a rare smile on his face.

Jiang Feng looked at him and couldn't help but teasing, "Now that you see your disciple has a promising future, are you relieved?"

"Who was it that almost lost his dignity and fought with Chang Qing in front of all the disciples?"

Chu Rendi looked at Xu Changqing awkwardly, but still said, "I am telling the truth. It is well known that Old Man Xu is protective of his shortcomings."

"You..." Xu Changqing wanted to say something, but he felt that there was no point in arguing with Chu Rendi at this time, so he simply pretended not to hear.

He quietly looked at Fang Xu who had already stood firmly on the eighth floor, wondering in his mind what he should do to resolve the unpleasantness between them when he came down.

With the incredible potential that Fang Xu has demonstrated, it is almost certain that he will become a core disciple of the Ascension Society in the future.

Moreover, Xu Changqing also felt that Fang Xu, who entered the fairy island, would definitely take that step in the future and become a strong man in the Yuanwu realm.

If Fang Xu held a grudge against him because of Lu Zhiyuan, he would not have an easy time even if he was a sixth-grade alchemist.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Mu Xuan and the other two.

It was all my fault for being too indulgent to my disciples, allowing them to become so arrogant and domineering.

But then again, he would never have thought that a little guy from Maple Forest Town would have such terrifying potential.

"Let's go. It looks like he is going to hone his skills on the eighth floor for a while." Jiang Feng looked up and saw Fang Xu already sitting cross-legged on the platform on the eighth floor. He immediately knew that the danger was over.

"You guys go, I'll watch here." Chu Rendi said proudly, looking at Fang Xu on the high platform, his eyes full of satisfaction.

A martial artist of the second level has reached the eighth level of the Ascension Platform. This is his own disciple. If he were to be transferred to the Immortal Island, he would feel very proud.

Looking at his undisguised pride, Jiang Feng and the others shook their heads and left the Ascension Platform directly.

Time passed day by day. On the seventh day after stepping onto the eighth floor of the Dengxiantai, Fang Xu finally stood up and stopped on the platform of the eighth floor. He slowly raised his head and looked quietly towards the ninth floor.

This scene made Chu Rendi, who was standing at the Dengxiantai, dumbfounded. He immediately shouted:

"Boy, don't be greedy, the ninth floor is not as simple as you think!"

Below, some outer and inner disciples who were watching the fun opened their mouths in astonishment!
"Brother Fang, you don't want to climb to the ninth floor, do you?!"

"Crazy! Either he is crazy or I am crazy!"

"I don't want to watch it anymore. I used to be a top-notch genius in Jizhou, but compared to Senior Brother Fang, I feel like a piece of trash..."

"It's so sad. Living in the same era as people like this, it will be hard for us to make a name for ourselves."

……

On the Ascension Platform, Fang Xu looked at the ninth floor quietly for a long time, and finally turned around and walked down step by step.

"call--"

"Fortunately, Brother Fang is not crazy yet..."

When Fang Xu came down from the Dengxian Terrace, he saw Chu Rendi who was waiting quietly in the audience.

"Master."

Fang Xu bowed slightly to Chu Rendi and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to have worried you."

Chu Rendi forced a smile on his face and looked at him quietly.

"How does it feel?"

"The soul has taken shape?"

Fang Xu nodded slightly. Not only had he shaped his soul, he had also used the help of the Ascension Platform and the bronze cauldron to temper his soul into something very tough.

However, as his spirit and soul grew stronger, he could sense that his physical body had serious deficiencies.

In a sense, the physical body is the container of the soul. As the soul becomes stronger, the container will naturally become stronger as well.

This is why strong men at the Martial Honor level can often withstand the attacks of ordinary swords and knives with their physical bodies alone.

This kind of improvement usually requires a lot of natural resources and treasures to be slowly cultivated.

But Fang Xu was different. The stone doors in the two acupoint spaces were opened, and the purest and most primitive energy was strengthening his body all the time.

In addition, the divine servant has been honing his internal organs, so it can be said that he does not have to worry about the issue of physical strength.

"Let's go, follow me to Baicaotang."

Upon seeing this, Chu Rendi immediately took Fang Xu towards Baicaotang.

"Master, why are we going to Baicaotang?" Fang Xu asked curiously on the way.

"Your spirit has become stronger, and you need some special pills to improve your physical strength." Chu Rendi said, "Master will go buy you some pills."

Fang Xu quickly waved his hand upon hearing this and said, "I dare not trouble you, Master. I have my own way to strengthen my body."

It’s not that he looked down on Xu Changqing. The effects of the pills refined by Baicaotang were definitely not as good as the energy in his own acupoint space.

The energy behind the Shimen world is inexhaustible, so there is no need to let Chu Rendi spend money on strengthening his body.

After hearing his words, Chu Rendi frowned slightly: "Really not necessary?"

Fang Xu nodded and said, "My disciple has some opportunities, so I really don't need it."

Seeing this, Chu Rendi nodded slightly and said, "Then I will give you something else."

Following Chu Rendi to the Law Enforcement Hall, the two went straight to their residence in the back mountain.

In the exquisite courtyard, a light flashed in Chu Rendi's hand, and he directly took out a smooth bone the size of a shield.

It was impossible to tell what kind of ferocious beast the bone came from, but from the patterns on it, Fang Xu could roughly guess that this bone was extraordinary.

"The Law Enforcement Hall places great emphasis on killing. This piece of animal bone was obtained by my master overseas. After several years of meditation, I learned a killing martial art from it. This can be considered as stepping into the threshold of divine power."

"Your two senior brothers also comprehended it in the past, but in the end they gained nothing. Now, I will give this piece of animal bone to you."

Fang Xu took the bone, examined it carefully, and finally bowed and said, "Thank you, Master!"

Chu Rendi waved his hand, then said seriously: "I know you already have a magical power. Now I will tell you some tips about the magical power."

Fang nodded, quickly put away the animal bones, and listened quietly to Chu Rendi's teachings.

"Do you know what supernatural power is?"

"What is the difference between magical powers and martial arts?"

Fang Xu shook his head after hearing this.

Most of his achievements today are the result of his own gradual exploration.

"To put it simply, martial arts are a means of attack created by warriors based on their understanding of the myriad things in the universe or the clues left by ancient strongmen."

"Magic powers are different. There are two kinds of magical powers."

“The first is the acquired magical power. Most acquired magical powers are semi-magical powers at the beginning, which are higher than the first-grade martial arts, but have not reached the threshold of true magical powers. Just like this semi-magical power created by your teacher by observing this piece of animal bone, if it is improved well in the future, it will eventually become a true magical power.”

"The other kind of magical power is formed innately. This kind of magical power is mostly carried by the blood of some ancient races."

"This kind of magical power needs to be awakened. Once awakened, you will naturally be able to comprehend it."

After hearing this, Fang Xu showed a hint of realization on his face.

It turns out that there is such a difference in supernatural powers. Then, does that mean that my three transformations of the Demon Ape are acquired supernatural powers?

But this is not right. His three transformations of the Demon Ape have been supernatural powers since he comprehended them, and have not undergone any semi-supernatural transformation.

"There is another difference between innate magical powers and acquired magical powers." Chu Rendi continued: "Innate magical powers are themselves perfect magical powers. Once they have been comprehended, they will show great power, but the limitation of this kind of magical power is that it is difficult to break through."

“It’s like you just got a magical weapon passed down by your ancestors. You can use it as soon as you get it, and it’s very powerful when you use it.”

"But this magic weapon is fixed in shape after all. When one day you reach the same level as the ancestor who created this magic weapon, or even surpass his level, you will find it difficult to improve this magic weapon."

"Do you understand what the teacher said?"

Fang Xu nodded. This was easy to understand.

After all, the supernatural powers inherited through blood or racial secrets are already fixed templates, so it is convenient to use them right away.

But it is precisely because the template is fixed that it is difficult for latecomers to break the shackles and carry out reforms.

"Acquired supernatural powers are different."

"Acquired supernatural powers are mostly created by warriors themselves. They are like a piece of iron that can withstand constant polishing and transformation. In theory, they have unlimited potential for improvement."

Speaking of bringing, Chu Rendi suddenly smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "This is just your summary of the innate and acquired supernatural powers."

"In fact, today's acquired magical powers are rarely able to surpass innate magical powers. This is because although martial arts today seem to be prosperous, they are far inferior to the ancient times when great powers emerged in large numbers."

"Do you know what realm is above Martial Honor?" Chu Rendi asked.

Fang Xu nodded: "I heard from Senior Sister Gu Qiu that it is the Yuanwu Realm."

Chu Rendi nodded: "Yes, the realm of Yuanwu."

"Don't tell anyone what I'm going to say to you next."

Fang Xu nodded quickly.

"What is Yuanwu?"

Chu Rendi put his hands behind his back, his face looked unusually solemn, and he said calmly: "The meaning of Yuanwu is to return everything to its origin."

"Master, I will tell you now that the key to breaking through Yuanwu is the soul."

"A warrior cultivates his body, opens his acupoints, and stimulates his potential."

"This method is taken to its extreme, which is the peak of Martial Honor."

"A strong man at the peak of martial arts honor would be revered as a powerful person wherever he goes nowadays."

A trace of disdain flashed across Chu Rendi's face, and then he smiled and said, "But you know, according to some clues in ancient books, the peak of martial arts in ancient times is the same as today's martial arts apprentices."

"Only by breaking through the Yuanwu realm can one enter the threshold of formal cultivation."

Hearing this, Fang Xu was completely stunned.

He originally thought that the Yuanwu Realm might not be the pinnacle of martial arts, but it was at least a rare and powerful realm.

I never thought that in ancient times, the Yuanwu realm was just the beginning of cultivation.

What realm were those ancient powerful beings in? How terrifying were they?
"Do you feel that your cognition has been overturned?" Seeing Fang Xu's surprised expression, Chu Rendi smiled faintly.

Fang Xu nodded involuntarily.

Now I am really shocked by these remarks.

It’s like suddenly hearing that the unattainable goal you’ve been pursuing is just the starting point for others.

It is really difficult for most people to accept this kind of psychological gap.

"Master, are there many seniors in the Yuanwu realm on the fairy island?" Fang Xu suddenly asked.

Chu Rendi did not answer, but told him: "Knowing too much will only make you more stressed."

"Although the Yuanwu Realm is only the starting point and the road to martial arts is long, you are now at least qualified to step into the threshold of a practitioner."

"qualifications?"

"Master, are you talking about the shaping of the soul?" Fang Xu suddenly understood.

Chu Rendi nodded and said, "Master just said that soul shaping is the key to breaking through the Martial Honor Realm and reaching the Yuanwu Realm."

"This is also why I said before that the ascetic path of Kulun is the right path."

Ku Lun has always believed that suffering tempers the human soul, and that persistence in asceticism will allow one's spirit to gradually grow stronger.

There is nothing wrong with this path.

However, the improvement that can be brought about by ascetic practice is ultimately limited. Not everyone who practices ascetic practice can successfully shape their soul.

"Master, since you all know that soul shaping is the key to breaking through Yuanwu, then why are people like Master Kulun, Emperor Yu, Zhao Wudi and other top martial masters still struggling to pursue their own paths?"

Yu Huang, Ku Lun and Zhao Wuji are the three most powerful martial artists he knows.

The three of them seemed to have been struggling to find a way to break through to the peak of Martial Honor over the years.

Master Ku Lun was unable to successfully break through until the end of his life and his body's energy and blood were declining.

"It's easier said than done." Chu Rendi sighed and said, "Besides, there are conflicts of interest among warriors. The upper echelons control the secrets of breakthroughs. If it's not from their own camp, why would they share it with others?"

"The Immortal Island knows all this. They were brought out from some ancient ruins by generations of predecessors of the Ascension Society at the cost of their lives. Naturally, they would not show them to others easily."

The Tao cannot be passed on lightly, and Fang Xu also understands this principle.

Just like when he was trapped in the state of refining the internal organs, Lu Zhiyuan insisted on charging him fifty taels of silver before he would teach him the method of refining the internal organs.

Be it Ku Lun, Zhao Wuji, or Yu Huang, none of them are disciples of the Ascension Society, so the Ascension Society will naturally not easily tell them the secret of breaking through the Yuanwu realm.

Even these ordinary inner disciples of the Ascension Society are probably not qualified to know this.

The Ascension Society will leave behind an Ascension Platform and promise high contribution point rewards, perhaps to encourage disciples to constantly hone their spirits.

"Master, Master Ku Lun has found his own way. Do Yu Huang and Zhao Wuji have any hope of a breakthrough?" Fang Xu asked curiously.

Logically speaking, Emperor Yu and Zhao Wuji are younger than Ku Lun, and Emperor Yu has the resources of the entire Yu Kingdom, so he should have a better chance of finding his own way and breaking through the Yuanwu realm.

"Li Cangwu?" Chu Rendi smiled faintly and said, "He has great ambitions. There are some things that you cannot understand now. I can only tell you that Li Cangwu is much more powerful than you think."

"Why do you think Senior Brother Jiang has not been able to become stronger over the years?"

Is Emperor Yu more powerful than he imagined?
Fang Xu's expression became a little solemn.

According to his understanding, Emperor Yu Li Cangwu was a very scheming person, and Fang Xu had always had doubts in his heart regarding the matter of the Yu royal family and the Yanshen Sect fighting for the land of Yu.

The Yanshen Sect is very powerful. As of now, although it has been suppressed by the Yu royal family for a thousand years, it still has strength that is not weaker than that of the Yu royal family.

If this had happened a thousand years ago, when the Yanshen Sect was still at its peak in this land, how could the Yu royal family have easily defeated them?
"Okay, these are not things you need to think about right now. Practice well."

"When you become a core disciple and go to the Fairy Island, you will discover an even more vast world."

"The Yu Kingdom is still too small after all."

Chu Rendi stood up slowly and said, "Remember one thing, while you are training your body, you must not neglect the training of your soul."

"When you have nothing to do, you can spend more time on Dengxiantai."

After Chu Rendi left, Fang Xu also returned to the small courtyard next to the Transmission Hall where he used to live. He wanted to see if Yun Wan had returned.

However, when he arrived at the courtyard, he realized that Yun Wan had now become Yan Wu's disciple and joined the Affairs Hall, and should have a new residence. He immediately prepared to go to the Affairs Hall to take a look.

"Junior Brother Fang."

Just as Fang Xu was about to leave, he heard Huang Qingzhou's voice from behind.

"Brother Huang?"

"long time no see."

Fang Xu greeted him with a smile, but suddenly found that Huang Qingzhou's face looked a little unhappy.

"Senior Brother Huang, what happened?" Fang Xu asked puzzledly.

Huang Qingzhou looked around, then said solemnly: "Master knows what Senior Brother did in Fenglin Town."

When Huang Qingzhou said this, there was a trace of scrutiny on his face.

Fang Xu glanced at him and smiled bitterly: "Brother, don't you trust me?"

Huang Qingzhou was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No, it's just that I feel it's a little strange."

"Logically speaking, the only people who know about this are you, me, Junior Sister Mu, and Miss Lu."

"The rest are the fellow apprentices who came with Su Cheng at the time. They were involved in this matter and they definitely won't tell anyone about it themselves."

"How would Master know?"

Fang Xu didn't say anything. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "So what are you going to do now, Deacon Xu?"

Huang Qingzhou shook his head and said, "Master has already sent Junior Sister Mu and Senior Brother over there, but they hadn't come out until I came to find you."

Fang Xu nodded and said, "Based on what you know about Deacon Xu, how do you think he will handle this?"

Huang Qingzhou was stunned for a long time and shook his head again.

"Master is famous for being protective and vain, and my eldest brother has been with him for decades. I..."

boom!
Before he could finish his words, a horrific explosion suddenly came from the direction of Baicao Hall!
Immediately afterwards——

"Traitor, how dare you assassinate my master!?"

Xu Changqing's furious voice came from the direction of Baicaotang!
Hearing this voice, Huang Qingzhou's face changed drastically, and he immediately rushed towards Baicaotang.

Fang Xu also fixed his gaze and followed him directly!

In Huayang Mountain, many disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall and some deacons flew towards the Baicao Hall.

When Fang Xu arrived at Baicaotang, he found Xu Changqing standing in front of the broken thatched cottage with a black face and a dagger stuck in his abdomen. A large amount of blood was slowly flowing out of the wound.

Not far away, Su Cheng, who looked like a madman, was pinching the struggling Chu Mu and looking around warily.

"You forced me!"

"I don't want to either, you forced me to do it!"

"Chu Rendi of the Law Enforcement Hall is that kid's master. If you hand me over to the Law Enforcement Hall, will I still be able to survive?"

"And you!"

"all because of you!"

"If you had been obedient at the beginning, would I have taken such a risk!?"

Su Cheng's eyes widened, staring at Chu Mu in his hand and roaring. At this time, Chu Mu was only at the seventh level of martial arts, and was no match for Su Cheng. His pretty face turned red from being pinched, and he kept struggling.

"Traitor! Let go immediately!"

Not far away, Xu Changqing saw this scene and shouted loudly while trying to suppress the poison in his body and the wounds on his body.

"You still protect her!"

"Master, you still protect this bitch!"

"I've been with you for more than thirty years, but I'm still not as good as this little bitch for a few months?"

"You like this little bitch, don't you?"

"Haha... since you like her, I'm going to destroy her!"

Su Cheng said this and increased the strength in his hands again.

"stop!"

After Fang Xu arrived, he saw that Chu Mu was about to be strangled to death, and immediately shouted loudly.

"Fang Xu...Brother..."

Seeing Fang Xu, Chu Mu struggled to stretch out his hand.

"Fang Xu?"

"You came just in time!"

Su Cheng turned his head and looked at Fang Xu and Huang Qingzhou, with an even more crazy look in his eyes.

"Didn't you risk your life to protect this little bitch?"

"Today I will let you see with your own eyes how she died in front of you!"

Su Cheng's eyes flashed with cruelty, and he was about to break her neck!

But at this moment, a breeze blew.

The next moment, a green bamboo leaf instantly passed through the crowd and turned into a slender sword, instantly piercing through Su Cheng's arm that was pinching Chu Mu!

Su Cheng felt pain and instinctively let go of Chu Mu's neck!
A figure also took advantage of this moment to rush forward, with a fist glowing red and filled with endless anger, punching directly into Su Cheng's chest!

boom!
The terrifying force directly blasted Su Cheng away.

"Mu, are you okay?"

It was Fang Xu who rushed up. After knocking Su Cheng away with a punch, he immediately supported Chu Mu and asked softly.

"Brother Fang Xu..."

Chu Mu was obviously frightened.

At that moment just now, she really thought she was going to die.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Fang Xu comforted Chu Mu while patting him on the back gently.

"Changqing, what's going on?"

Behind the crowd, the emerald green sword bamboo behind Jiang Feng slowly disappeared, and many disciples and deacons also made way.

As for Xu Changqing, Huang Qingzhou had already run over, fed him a detoxification pill, and then simply treated the wound on his body.

In fact, with Xu Changqing's cultivation level of the seventh level of Martial Honor, he shouldn't have been injured.

But his mistake was that he trusted Su Cheng too much. He never thought that Su Cheng would poison him, nor did he expect Su Cheng to be so heartless as to attack him.

"Take charge..."

Xu Changqing bowed to Jiang Feng, and sighed as if he was too embarrassed to face him: "Xu Changqing is a poor teacher, please... punish me!"

Jiang Feng frowned slightly, looked at Su Cheng who was being held down by Chu Rendi, and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

Su Cheng seemed to have known that he was going to die this time, and he didn't want to say anything more. He turned his head away very stubbornly.

"Let me tell you."

Fang Xu let go of Chu Mu, walked slowly to Jiang Feng, bowed and said, "Last year when Mu and I were still in Fenglin Town, Su Cheng was ordered to explore the ruins of Tilan Mountain. He accidentally met Mu and discovered her physique of Danxiang Saint Body."

"Su Cheng plans to take Mu away and use her blood from the Danxiang Holy Body to make an elixir."

"It was Senior Brother Huang Qingzhou who used his privilege as an inner sect disciple to give Mu a pass to the Immortal Sect and saved her."

"Su Cheng knew that Mu and I both had the Immortal Gate Pass, but he still hired assassins to attack us at night, intending to kill us and kidnap Mu."

Hearing these words, Jiang Feng's face turned slightly cold.

There are three iron laws of the Ascension Society. Anyone who violates them will be killed!

The warriors who hold the pass to the immortal gate are the disciples of the Ascension Society. Although they cannot enjoy the various treatments of the Ascension Society, the disciples of the Ascension Society cannot attack them.

How dare Su Cheng act so recklessly!
"Brother Chu, take the person away and follow the sect rules."

He did not ask Xu Changqing's opinion.

Because the matter of Su Cheng must be dealt with seriously, the Yu Kingdom Ascension Society really needs to be reorganized recently.

"Master, I have a request."

Seeing Chu Rendi preparing to take Su Cheng away, Fang Xu suddenly bowed and spoke.

Chu Rendi was slightly stunned: "What's the matter?"

"My disciple is going to fight on the stage of life and death with Su Cheng!" Fang Xu said word by word.

He had secretly sworn that he must kill Su Cheng himself!

After hearing Fang Xu's words, Chu Rendi hesitated.

Although Su Cheng is an alchemist and not good at fighting, he is a warrior at the third level of Martial Honor after all.

Fang Xu is extremely talented and has the ability to fight above his level, but there is more than a major realm gap between the two of them.

Moreover, Su Cheng now knows clearly that he has no chance of surviving, and if he tries desperately to drag Fang Xu to be buried with him, something unexpected may happen.

"I'm ready."

Chu Rendi did not answer, and Jiang Feng agreed to it on his behalf.

"Senior Brother Jiang..."

Chu Rendi looked at Jiang Feng with some concern.

"Don't you trust your disciple?" Jiang Feng smiled faintly, then said, "I will wait for you at the life and death stage."

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.

"Master, don't worry." Seeing that Chu Rendi wanted to say something, Fang Xu smiled faintly and said, "My disciple will be fine."

After his soul was shaped, he had a more delicate control over his own power, and his strength increased by at least 30% compared to before.

Besides, Su Cheng had just been hit by his punch and had his arm injured by Jiang Feng's magical power. As the situation improved, Fang Xu felt that it would be no problem for him to kill him.

Seeing how confident he was, Chu Rendi didn't say much and pushed Su Cheng towards the life and death stage.

Su Cheng lowered his head, a hint of madness flashed in his eyes, he secretly glanced at Fang Xu and grinned, "Want to kill me with your own hands?"

"Even if I die, I will take you with me, haha..."

……

The stage of life and death.

The life and death stage of the Yu Kingdom's Ascension Conference has not been opened for nearly a hundred years.

Hearing that Fang Xu was going to fight Su Cheng, the senior brother of Baicaotang, on the stage of life and death, the disciples who were still in the sect all rushed over.

Chu Rendi brought the two to the life and death stage, looked at Fang Xu with concern and asked, "Are you sure?"

Fang Xu nodded.

Chu Rendi then threw Su Cheng aside, and then slowly walked to the edge of the life and death stage and stood there.

He has already thought about it.

He would just stand there, and if he found out that Su Cheng was planning to die together with him, he would take action immediately.

"let's start."

Seeing that both parties had already taken their positions, Chu Rendi spoke calmly.

In the surrounding stands, all the disciples held their breath at this moment!
It is known to everyone that the people of Baicaotang are not good at fighting.

But even so, when a Martial Master of the third realm battled against a Martial Master of the second realm, the gap in realm between them was like an unbridgeable chasm.

Many people think that the final result of this battle was that Fang Xu was injured, and then Chu Rendi next to him killed Su Cheng.

After hearing the start, Fang Xu took the lead in launching the attack. He flashed and rushed forward swinging his fists.

Su Cheng suddenly drew out the long sword from his waist and shot several powerful sword beams at Fang Xu who was rushing towards him!
Sword attacks of this magnitude pose no threat to Fang Xu at all.

After a few flashes of his figure, he came in front of Su Cheng.

In close combat, Su Cheng was a little panicked.

Over the years, he spent much more time in front of the alchemy furnace than holding the sword.

Although he has the strength of the third level of Martial Honor, it is difficult for him to fully display his abilities.

The long sword in his hand was dancing wildly, trying to block the approaching Fang Xu!
However, Fang Xu deliberately wanted to humiliate him, and he punched his sword again and again. The terrifying force plus the flame spirit power was transmitted through the sword to Su Cheng's arm.

Gradually, Su Cheng's arm holding the sword became numb, and his meridians felt burning, as if he couldn't lift the sword.

Seeing the panic in Su Cheng's eyes, Fang Xu suddenly felt a little bored.

Without the will to fight and the strength to reach the third level of Martial Honor, Su Cheng is no better than some martial artists who have reached the great perfection of Martial Master.

He had lost the idea of ​​continuing to play around. The strength in his hands suddenly increased. He knocked the sword in Su Cheng's hand away with one punch, and then punched him in the chest again!

Su Cheng was knocked flying.

However, he seemed to be wearing body armor, so he was not seriously injured after being hit by Fang Xu.

"Junior Brother Fang, he has inner armor made of the skin of a red-flame-winged snake!"

In the stands, a disciple from the Divine Weapon Hall reminded loudly.

Tieshan used an entire skin of the Red Flame Winged Snake King to make thirteen sets of top-quality inner armor.

As the eldest senior brother of Baicaotang, Su Cheng has joined the Shengxian Society for decades and has accumulated a large number of contribution slips, so he bought one directly.

Inner armor?

Fang Xu was a little amused when he heard this.

I brought this snake skin back myself, and I never thought it would save Su Cheng's life today.

But what if I have inner armor? I can kill him with inner armor!
With his fist glowing red, Fang Xu rushed forward again, punching Su Cheng's body with his terrifying fists one after another. He was going to kill him through his inner armor today!

Feeling the injuries in his body getting worse, Su Cheng became angry. He pushed Fang Xu away and took out a black medicine bottle from his arms!

"Boy, you forced me to do this!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the contents of the medicine bottle!
Looking at the medicine bottle in Su Cheng's hand, Fang Xu's expression suddenly changed!
"God's blood!?"

The medicine bottle in Su Cheng's hand is exactly the strange divine blood of Yanshen Sect!

After drinking the divine blood, Su Cheng's body began to twist violently, and then a thick layer of scales quickly grew on the exposed skin, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a strange monster!

"This kind of power..." Su Cheng looked at his strong hands intoxicated... perhaps they can be called claws now.

"Fang Xu, get out of the way!"

Noticing this situation, Chu Rendi flashed in front of Fang Xu and said indifferently while looking at Su Cheng who had completely turned into a monster in front of him.

Fang Xu nodded.

In this state, Su Cheng was still confident that he could kill him.

But this would inevitably expose his own trump card in front of many disciples, which is unnecessary.

He wanted to kill Su Cheng with his own hands, but after beating Su Cheng up just now, he suddenly felt that it was meaningless.

Fang Xu walked slowly to the edge of the life and death stage and looked at Chu Rendi standing with his hands behind his back facing Su Cheng.

"Chu Rendi, do you know how the disciples in the sect call you secretly?" Su Cheng's hoarse voice sounded.

Chu Rendi said calmly: "Chu Yanwang, right?"

"I like this name very much."

After saying that, he slowly raised his hand, and a blood-red dagger with strange patterns slowly emerged!

Fang Xu, who was standing nearby, could clearly feel that this dagger was not a treasure, nor was it a weapon like Gong Wanrong's that was condensed from her own blood and energy.

Is this Master's magical power! ?

Fang Xu looked at the dagger in Chu Rendi's palm with some curiosity.

Chu Rendi seemed to want to demonstrate his magical powers to Fang Xu and was not in a hurry to attack Su Cheng.

After circling around his body several times, the blood-red dagger returned to his palm again. Fang Xu carefully felt the changes in Chu Rendi's body and his blood when he was manipulating his magical powers.

"It turns out it can still be like this..."

After careful observation, Fang Xu discovered that after Chu Rendi used his magical powers, he did not rely entirely on the blood and energy in his body to support the operation of his magical powers, but communicated with the energy of heaven and earth around him in some way, using most of the energy of heaven and earth to allow his magical powers to be maintained longer.

Fang Xu also guessed that the magical powers in this state should be more powerful than the ones he had previously displayed by relying solely on his own qi and blood.

Seeing Fang Xu looking thoughtful, Chu Rendi nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand lightly, and the blood-red dagger in his palm disappeared instantly!

The next moment, when the dagger appeared again, the sharp blade had already reached Su Cheng's forehead!

The tough scales grown with the divine blood were completely useless against Chu Rendi's sharp dagger.

Like tofu, it was directly cut open by the blood-red dagger and then pierced through Su Cheng's head.

The dense scales on Su Cheng's face slowly faded away, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

After taking the divine blood, the instantly expanded power made him feel that he should be able to fight Chu Rendi, and then find an opportunity to kill Fang Xu with one blow.

But he never expected that he would be so weak facing Chu Rendi!

Su Cheng is dead.

On the viewing platform, Xu Changqing had a complicated look on his face, and then he slowly turned around and said to the disciples beside him: "Carry your senior brother to Baicao Hall and bury him."

Once a teacher, always a father.

Having been master and apprentice with Su Cheng for more than 30 years, everything was just as Huang Qingzhou said. The relationship between Xu Changqing and Su Cheng had long been like that of father and son.

This kind of feeling was so strong that even though Su Cheng poisoned him and wanted to kill him, Xu Changqing still didn't have the heart to expel him from the sect, and still let his disciples bury his body in Baicao Hall.

After resolving Su Cheng's issue, Chu Rendi looked at Fang Xu and said, "Your other master, Lu Zhiyuan, has been sent to the villa at the foot of the mountain. Go and see him."

Fang Xu nodded.

……

At the villa at the foot of the mountain, when Fang Xu pushed open the door, Lu Zhiyuan was sitting in the yard flipping through a book, while Tongtong was sitting cross-legged and practicing beside him.

After nearly a year, master and disciple met again, and Fang Xu's expression was a little complicated.

In the past, Lu Zhiyuan was only at the third level of martial artist, which made him feel out of reach.

Now, I have caught up with him and even surpassed him in strength.

"Master."

Fang Xu shouted.

Lu Zhiyuan's body trembled slightly, and he slowly raised his head and looked at Fang Xu.

"Here?" With a smile on his face, Lu Zhiyuan slowly stood up, looked at Fang Xu and said, "Your strength has surpassed that of my teacher."

"I really didn't make a mistake in choosing the right person."

Fang Xu smiled awkwardly and said, "Senior sister has gone to carry out the task of being promoted to an inner sect disciple. She should be back soon."

Lu Zhiyuan nodded and said:

"I heard about it."

"Fang Xu, please sit down."

After the two sat opposite each other, Tongtong brought them tea, then returned to his original position and sat cross-legged.

"This master is incompetent." Looking at Fang Xu, Lu Zhiyuan sighed.

As someone's master, he had only taught the person for a few months, but now, the disciple's skills had surpassed his. Lu Zhiyuan knew that he had nothing more to teach.

"Master, why are you saying this? Once a teacher, always a father."

"Although Master has taught me for more than just a few months, what he has taught me in those few months is enough for me to benefit from for the rest of my life."

Lu Zhiyuan didn't really teach him much, but the divine servant, the strange wooden stick, and the stone tablet of "The True Explanation of the Flame Spirit" that he gave him were all very valuable things.

Even the eighth-grade martial art "Nine Monkey Sticks" helped Fang Xu overcome many crises.

Lu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile.

Fang Xu is loyal and righteous, which he admires very much.

"but……"

Lu Zhiyuan's expression suddenly changed, and he said solemnly:
"The master has predicted that you have a bad fate."

"I thought that even with my current abilities, I can't help you resolve it."

Is it because I have a bad luck?
Fang Xu was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Could it be that Lu Zhiyuan could see through his own system?

"Fang Xu, there is nothing left for me to teach you now."

"This is a secret technique that has been passed down in our Muyun Nation for thousands of years. Today, I will pass it on to you."

As Lu Zhiyuan spoke, he took out an ancient tortoise shell from his arms.

This tortoise shell is a rare white color, just like white jade.

There are some strange symbols engraved on the tortoise shell, as well as some cracks left by the passage of time.

"I believe you now know the identity of the teacher."

Fang Xu didn't say anything.

He roughly knew that Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Qingluo were the remnants of the Muyun Kingdom, but he was not clear about the details.

"Qingluo's grandfather, who is also my master's father, is the Grand Soothsayer of Muyun Country."

"The Lu family's patriarchs have been high priests of the Muyun Kingdom for generations. Back then, my grandfather predicted that there would be a catastrophe in the Muyun Kingdom. After trying every possible means to resolve it, he secretly set up a trap."

"This plan is to preserve the bloodline of the Lu family and also to provide hope for the restoration of the Muyun Kingdom in the future."

Fang Xu nodded and said, "Then Senior Nan Wu is..."

"The Nanwu clan is another large clan in the Muyun Kingdom. The men of the Nan clan are shamans and the women are witches. They have been loyal to the Muyun royal family for generations."

"This tortoise shell contains a magical technique passed down by the Lu family from ancient times, called the Prayer to Heaven Technique. But now, the other part of the Prayer to Heaven Technique was taken away by Zhao Wuji after the temple was destroyed."

"Without that part, I will not be able to comprehend the Heavenly Praying Technique, and I estimate that I will not have the opportunity to see the complete Heavenly Praying Technique inheritance in this lifetime."

"I'll just leave it to you. Maybe you can learn something from it."

Fang Xu fumbled with the tortoise shell and suddenly thought of his grandfather. He immediately asked, "Master, do you still remember my grandfather?"

Lu Zhiyuan nodded slightly and said, "Your grandfather is also a strange man. He has a high level of Feng Shui skills, but he lives in a remote corner and works as a small carpenter in Fenglin Town."

It turns out that grandpa really knows Feng Shui!

Fang Xu was a little bit incredulous and said, "Master, do you know how powerful my grandfather's Feng Shui skills are?"

Lu Zhiyuan smiled faintly: "Better than my teacher, maybe even better than those old guys in the Yu Kingdom's Imperial Observatory."

Stronger than the old guy from the Imperial Observatory! ?

Fang Xu was a little shocked.

I have been with him day and night, but I have never noticed any clues.

"He didn't tell you his identity because he had his own plans. You don't need to worry too much about it."

"There is something very important that you need to pay attention to right now."

As Lu Zhiyuan spoke, he slowly put his hands behind his back and said solemnly, "Emperor Yu Li Cangwu is about to break through."

Is Li Cangwu about to break through?
Fang Xu came to Lu Zhiyuan and frowned, "Is this news reliable?"

Lu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "The news should be reliable."

"The reason why Li Cangwu slaughtered thousands of people in my Muyun Kingdom and killed all the royal family members was because there was a method to break through the Martial Honor Realm in the ancient heritage of Muyun Kingdom."

"After I came out, I learned that Li Cangwu issued an edict of repentance, pardoned the whole country, and even reduced taxes."

"All signs indicate that he is anxious to improve the fortunes of the Yu State."

"This situation means that he has fully understood the method."

Fang Xu didn't say anything.

He was thinking about what the consequences would be after Li Cangwu's breakthrough.

Judging from the current situation, the Shengxian Society and the Yu Kingdom are at least at peace on the surface.

There is the Immortal Island behind the Ascension Society. Even if Li Cangwu has made a breakthrough, he should not dare to attack the Ascension Society.

But the feud between himself and the major families would probably be difficult to resolve.

After Li Cangwu breaks through the Yuanwu realm, he will definitely take action against the major families, but this attack will definitely not be a self-defeating method such as killing them all.

Fang Xu guessed that Li Cangwu would most likely force all the major families and forces to pledge complete loyalty in the end.

At that time, if he wanted to seek revenge on the major families again, it would be equivalent to directly becoming an enemy of a strong man in the Yuanwu realm.

This is troublesome.

"Do you understand my worries?" Lu Zhiyuan said when he saw Fang Xu was thinking about something.

Fang Xu just nodded and said nothing.

"Fang Xu, I just want to tell you that if something can be done, then do it. If it can't be done, don't force it."

"You still have a long way to go. Li Cangwu is just a roadblock on your path to martial arts. Go slowly and don't force it."

After saying this, Lu Zhiyuan smiled faintly and said, "Okay, your teacher has Tongtong to accompany you, you should go back and practice."

Fang Xu bowed and left the villa.

After entering the mountain gate, he went directly to the affairs hall, and after just a little inquiry, he found out where Yun Wan was living at the moment.

Arriving at the back mountain of the Affairs Hall, Fang Xu found Yun Wan's residence, but discovered a lantern hanging at the door.

This meant that Yun Wan was in seclusion, so Fang Xu did not disturb her. He went straight back to the Law Enforcement Hall and began to comprehend what Lu Zhiyuan and Chu Rendi had given him.
