Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 158: Star Palace, Tiger King, Thirty-six Star Map

"Uncle Yuan, how do you use this thing?"

"Give it to him directly?"

In the past, Changlong would swallow this green liquid directly, but now he is on his deathbed and has no way to drink it.

"You can pour it on me." said the old ape.

Fang Xu's hand flashed with light, and he took out another wine jar and handed it to the old ape, saying, "Uncle Ape, help me."

The old ape took the jar of wine and was stunned!

This green liquid is much better than the blue one he used before. Fang Xu actually took out two jars?

Seeing that Changlong was about to die, the old ape didn't have time to ask any more questions and directly poured the green liquid in the jar carefully onto Changlong's body.

After the two of them worked hard, the dragon's bloody body, which had lost all its scales, was now covered with green liquid.

Fortunately, the terrifying waves killed all the sea beasts in the surrounding waters.

Otherwise, with so much green liquid, who knows how many sea beasts and sirens would be attracted.

After Changlong's body was covered with green liquid, the bleeding stopped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not only that, a large amount of green liquid was absorbed by its body. In just a quarter of an hour, new tender scales grew on the dragon's body. After these scales grew out, they grew larger and harder at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In half an hour, the dragon's body was covered with new scales.

Then, under the gaze of Fang Xu and the old ape, the pair of dragon horns on his head grew rapidly.

One inch, two inches, three inches, and then fork...

"It's time to grow feet..."

Looking at the four bulging lumps of flesh on the dragon's belly, the old ape spoke.

"If the dragon grows legs, can it transform into a dragon?" Fang Xu said happily upon seeing this.

The old ape nodded: "From a Jiao to a dragon, it can be called a great demon."

Seeing that Changlong would not wake up in the short term, Fang Xu immediately took out four wine jars from his Qiankun bag and handed them to the old ape, saying, "Uncle Ape, these are for you. Are they enough?"

Seeing this, the old ape could no longer sit still.

"Fang boy, how much did you get?"

Fang Xu thought for a moment and said, "Not many, just a dozen or so. If that's not enough, I have more."

The old ape's heart was trembling!

The purification pool that Jiang Feng took him to did not contain as much energy from heaven and earth as a jar.

The most important thing is that the damaged purification pool contains a lot of residues. Because of the damage of the purification pool, a lot of energy has been dissipated.

If you count it up, I'm afraid there is not even half a jar of pure energy of heaven and earth.

Now Fang Xu still uses four jars at a time, and the level is higher than the ones he used before.

"That's enough! That's enough!"

The old ape picked up the jar of wine in front of him with some excitement, and then took a sip carefully.

The next moment, an extremely pure vital energy surged into his body!

After these energies poured in, they quickly repaired his meridians that had withered due to the dryness of qi and blood.

As the old ape drank sip after sip, the meridians in his body were repaired, and then his qi and blood were replenished and purified.

Fang Xu just sat quietly on the beach, guarding the long dragon and the old ape.

When he had nothing to do, he also drank a few sips of this green energy of heaven and earth.

After taking a sip, Fang Xu looked a little strange.

He suddenly discovered that the liquid produced by this so-called purification pool was actually similar to the original energy surging out of the stone gate world in his own acupoint space!
I seem to have more of this stuff.

There's just no way to take it out.

After verifying it again, he suddenly lost interest in this green liquid and decided to leave it all for the old ape.

Time passed day by day.

The old ape and the dragon both entered a certain state of evolution at this time and both fell into a deep sleep.

At this time, the dragon claws on the dragon's abdomen had not yet grown out, but the scales all over its body were becoming brighter and brighter, emitting a faint light, and looking like metal.

As for the old ape, the original aura of decadence on his body had disappeared, and his hair began to emit fluorescent light again.

Not only that, Fang Xu also noticed that the hair on the old ape's body was getting thinner, and the ape's face was also undergoing some subtle changes.

Everything seems to be moving in the right direction.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Changlong woke up first.

The huge body suddenly soared into the air, and after flying in the sky for a while, he plunged into the sea, and then swam a few laps happily, and then came to Fang Xu and said excitedly:
"I'm not dead!?"

Fang Xu nodded, pointed at the jar of green liquid left by the old ape and asked, "Can you still drink it?"

The long dragon came over curiously and smelled the green liquid in the jar. Its one eye instantly widened!
"so much!?"

Fang Xu smiled faintly and said, "After you were injured, Uncle Yuan and I applied two jars of this medicine on you."

Hearing this, Changlong was stunned!

Then, under Fang Xu's surprised gaze, he quickly stretched his tail to his nose and sniffed it.

Fang Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this: "Don't be so embarrassing."

The dragon shook its tail awkwardly, then looked at the wine jar and asked, "Is this from Uncle Yuan?"

"If you want to drink, go ahead. I still have some."

This time he collected a total of thirteen jars of green liquid. He gave two jars to Changlong, and the old ape drank three jars. Including the jar in front of him, he still had eight jars, which was enough.

Upon hearing this, Changlong swallowed the jar of wine in one gulp.

a long time--

He said with some disappointment: "It's useless. It seems that this thing is no longer available to me."

Fang Xu asked curiously, "Can't turn into a dragon?"

Chang Long sighed and said, "It's not that easy to transform into a dragon. It's an evolution of life level."

"Fang Xu, I'm going back to the deep sea."

"I have to find a safe place to retreat. I guess I won't be able to come out and accompany you for a while."

Fang Xu nodded: "Go ahead, I hope you can turn into a dragon one day."

The long dragon looked back at Fang Xu reluctantly, then slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

The old ape woke up on the seventh day after the dragon left.

After waking up, the hair on the old ape's body had completely disappeared, and the ape's face now looked more human-like.

Nowadays, even if he walks on the street, ordinary people will only regard him as an old man with a strange appearance.

Fang Xu took out some clothes from his Qiankun bag and asked the old ape to put them on, then said with a smile: "Uncle Ape, how do you feel now?"

The old ape did not give a direct answer, but said calmly: "Now facing Saint Lu and Tuoba Xiong, I should not need to use a second move."

After hearing this, Fang Xu showed surprise on his face and asked, "How do you compare with Elder Jiang Feng?"

The old ape pondered for a moment and said, "40-60, 6 for me and 4 for him."

In the previous purification pool, he had witnessed Jiang Feng's methods with his own eyes, so he had a rough guess in his mind.

"Fang boy, I am now half a step into the realm of a great demon. If I can break through to the realm of a great demon, I should be able to completely transform successfully."

"And after becoming a great demon, my life span will increase significantly."

With his body back to its peak, the old ape was full of confidence. At this moment, he was suddenly full of hope for life again.

"Uncle Yuan, I still have..."

“No need.” The old ape laughed and said, “Each grade of the purification pool corresponds to a certain realm. For someone like me, who is comparable to a human half-step into the Yuanwu realm, the green purification pool is no longer of much use to me.”

"Keep the ones you have for now. When you have time, go back to Tilan Mountain and give some to the little ones in the tribe."

Fang Xu nodded. This kind of energy from the purification pool was of no use to him, but he could share some with Chu Mu, Yun Wan and others when the time comes.

"Uncle Yuan, let's go back."

They have been delayed here for more than a month and it is time for them to go back.

At the Ascension Meeting of Fushan Kingdom, when Fang Xu and the old ape returned here, Gong Wanrong was teaching Ningxiang to practice.

When she saw the old ape, Gong Wanrong was suddenly stunned!
More than a month ago, the old ape was an octogenarian with exhausted energy and blood, like a dying man.

How long has it been?
There was no trace of old age on the old ape now. His entire body was filled with a terrifying aura that made people tremble with fear. Gong Wanrong even suspected that the old ape had already taken that step!
"Senior Ape, what are you doing..."

"I got some good fortune." said the old ape.

Gong Wanrong didn't dare to ask any further questions.

It must be a great fortune that could allow the old ape to undergo such a transformation. I am not very familiar with Fang Xu yet, so it would be bad to ask too many questions.

"Elder Gong, I am sorry for disturbing you. It is time for me to go back."

"Are we leaving?" Gong Wanrong was a little confused, but then she realized that since they had obtained the fortune, it was time for them to leave.

"Fang Xu, I want to discuss something with you." Looking at Ningxiang in front of her, Gong Wanrong said, "I want Ningxiang to stay by my side to practice, and maybe I will take her in as a..."

"Senior Gong, Ningxiang only wants to follow you, Master."

Before Gong Wanrong could finish her words, Ningxiang interrupted her with an apologetic look on her face.

"Ningxiang, you..."

Fang Xu was just about to persuade her to stay. After all, Gong Wanrong was the head of the Ascension Society branch of Fushan Kingdom, and her status was comparable to Jiang Feng.

In terms of cultivation, she is also at the seventh level of Martial Honor. If Ou could become her disciple in the future, it would be Ningxiang's good fortune.

"Sir, don't you want Ningxiang anymore?" Ningxiang interrupted Fang Xu and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Fang Xu was somewhat helpless: "I didn't say I didn't want you..."

"Then Sir, please don't try to persuade Ningxiang to stay. Ningxiang only wants to be with you."

She is not an ambitious person, otherwise she would not give up such an opportunity.

As the disciple in charge of the Shengxian Society branch, her status will be very respected, at least in Fushan Country.

But everyone has different pursuits. For Yu Ningxiang, although she didn't spend a long time with Fang Xu, she felt very comfortable.

The two were nominally master and servant, but Fang Xu never treated her as a servant.

"That's all."

"If you do this, I feel like a bad guy who forcibly separated you two." Gong Wanrong smiled and waved her hands, then looked at Fang Xu and said, "Ningxiang has good talent, please don't bury her."

Fang Xu nodded, said goodbye to Gong Wanrong, and left Fushan Kingdom with the old ape and Ningxiang.

All the sea beasts and sirens between Fushan Kingdom and Yu Kingdom were killed by the terrifying waves, and the sea area returned to peace again.

On the big ship, Fang Xu had a vague guess in his mind.

The reason why the Xianke Stone Boat intermittently releases some green liquid is to attract sea beasts and sirens in the sea to linger around it.

That terrifying wave was most likely emitted by the Immortal Stone Boat.

Only this can explain why the dragons and all sea beasts are so afraid of the immortal stone boat in their souls.

Fang Xu even had a guess that the artificial purification pool in the Xianke Stone Boat relied on hunting sea beasts and sirens and converting them through formations to generate green liquid.

The owner of the Xianke Stone Boat should have used this method to extract the green liquid for his own use.

Thinking of this, Fang Xu couldn't help but tremble in his heart!
In the eyes of the strong, all living things seem to be only a kind of nutrients, and some of them are not even nutrients.

The ship sailed on the sea for seven days and finally arrived at Canghai City.

Unlike when he left, Fang Xu felt very happy when he returned here this time.

The old ape’s problem has been solved, and now it’s time for me to practice hard.

Canghai City, Qiyuan Restaurant.

Fang Xu, Lao Yuan and Ningxiang came here, ready to have a good meal and then return to Zhongzhou.

As soon as the three of them entered, Fang Xu noticed a short man drinking alone in the corner of the restaurant.

It's him!

After seeing the man's appearance clearly, Fang Xu was a little stunned.

The man also caught a glimpse of Fang Xu out of the corner of his eye and was also stunned.

"Fang Xu, why are you here?"

This person was Li Xun who left Zhongzhou.

After Li Cangwu took back the Tianshu Jade Pendant, Li Xun left the Zhongzhou Imperial City directly, ready to find a chance of survival on his own.

After many twists and turns, he arrived at Canghai City, ready to go out to sea to try his luck, but he never expected to meet Fang Xu here.

"Why did the prince come to Canghai City?" Fang Xu bowed.

Although Li Xun had been a little difficult for him in Fenglin Town, overall, he was still worth getting along with.

Now there is no conflict between the two of them, and they can sit down and eat and drink together as friends.

"Sit down."

"These two are..."

Fang Xu introduced: "Uncle Yuan, Ningxiang."

"It turns out to be Senior Ape." Li Xun looked at the old ape with a respectful expression and quickly stood up to salute.

He had heard about the old ape's one-on-two battle against Lu Sheng and Tuoba Xiong in front of Huayang Mountain that day.

When Li Xun saw the old ape at this time, he was shocked to find that the aura of the old ape was as deep as the sea!
He had only felt this feeling from his grandfather Li Cangwu.

The old ape nodded slightly and sat down next to Fang Xu.

"Ningxiang greets the prince."

Ningxiang did not take a seat. She always regarded herself as Fang Xu's maid.

After the two sat down, Li Xun called the waiter and ordered some wine and food.

"Prince, is there something going on in Canghai City?" Fang Xu asked curiously.

"Crown Prince?" Li Xun smiled bitterly and drank the wine in the glass, then looked at Fang Xu and said, "I am no longer the Crown Prince."

Seeing Fang Xu's confusion, Li Xun said, "Back in Fenglin Town, I was attacked by a witch and fell under a strange curse."

"Grand Astrologer Xu Liang had no choice but to use the destiny of the Yu Kingdom to help me resist."

"But now..."

Li Xun shook his head: "Now, I have been abandoned."

Fang Xu looked strange when he heard this!
He sank his consciousness into his own sea of ​​​​consciousness, and was shocked to find that the health value behind Li Xun's name was only 20%!
You know, ever since Li Xun entered the friend list, his health has been very stable.

For so long, it has fluctuated between 60% and 75%.

Fang Xu originally thought that Li Xun was just lucky, but now it seems that it was the destiny of the Yu Kingdom that protected him before.

Using the fate of a country to protect the life of one person, no wonder Li Xun was so persistent.

You have to know that the grass on the graves of his good friends is now so high.

"What are your plans next, Prince?" Fang Xu asked.

With only 20% of his health left, Li Xun probably won’t be able to hold on for long.

"What plans do I have?" Li Xun filled his own glass with wine, and then poured some for Old Ape and Fang Xu, then raised his glass and said, "I don't want to die, so I can only look for that glimmer of hope for life on my own."

"Fang Xu, I have offended you a lot in Fenglin Town before."

"To be honest, I really want to be friends with you."

Li Xun drank the wine in the cup, smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "But now, you are a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Ascension Association, and I..."

"A discarded pawn, a dying man..."

"Before in the palace, my brothers and sisters looked down on me and mocked me."

"Although the children of the ministers in the court respectfully call me the prince when they see me in public, they all say I am a dwarf behind my back."

"I do not have friends……"

Looking at his lonely look, Fang Xu felt a little uncomfortable.

But he had no choice. The system did not have an option to delete friends. He could only watch Li Xun slowly wait to die.

At this moment, he felt a little bit reluctant.

"Sir..."

"Call me Li Xun."

"I'm tired of being called the prince..." Interrupting Fang Xu, Li Xun smiled and said, "Just call me by my name like a friend."

Fang Xu was stunned for a moment.

The reason for this was that he suddenly discovered that in the friend list deep in his sea of ​​consciousness, the green health bar below Li Xun's name, which was of some use to him, suddenly jumped and directly changed from the original 55% to 80%!
At the same time, the red health bar, which had only 20% of its health left, also changed, and it actually increased by 1%!
What's happening here?
Fang Xu was a little confused.

"What? You don't want to be friends with me?" Li Xun said a little disappointedly when he saw Fang Xu was slow to speak.

Fang Xu came back to his senses and quickly raised his glass and asked, "How could it be?"

Seeing this, Li Xun's eyes flashed with joy. He raised his glass and clinked it with Fang Xu's. Then he raised his head and drank the wine. He looked at Fang Xu solemnly and said, "Thank you, Fang Xu."

Fang Xu smiled: "Why are you thanking me for something?"

Li Xun waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't understand..."

"Forget it. I'm leaving now."

He slowly stood up, took out a golden bean from his arms and threw it on the table, saying: "If I am lucky enough to survive this voyage, I will definitely go to Shengxian Club to have a drink with you one day."

"If he dies...you can treat me instead."

Li Xun left, his short figure disappearing at the door of the restaurant, looking very cool.

Fang Xu felt a bit complicated and lost interest in drinking. He set off directly back to Zhongzhou with Lao Yuan and Ningxiang.

……

Ascension Meeting, Law Enforcement Hall.

Ten days have passed since we returned from sea.

After returning to the villa at the foot of the mountain, the old ape went into seclusion immediately.

He is now in the state of being half a step away from becoming a great demon. Just like humans, if he wants to take that step, he must shape his soul.

Fang Xu returned to his residence in the Law Enforcement Hall and began to retreat.

On this day, after waking up from seclusion, he went directly to Dengxiantai.

After realizing the importance of the soul, Fang Xu also began to focus on all-round development, and would come to the Ascension Platform every once in a while to temper his soul.

As soon as he arrived at the Ascension Platform, he saw a familiar figure.

He was dressed in white, holding a long sword, and his long black hair was tied casually behind his head.

Fang Xu walked over slowly.

Perhaps it was a telepathic response, the figure in front of him slowly turned around.

"Fang Xu?" Yun Wan's eyes showed a hint of surprise, followed by an extremely complicated look.

There is a flash of surprise and longing, as well as some faint sadness...

"I went to look for you, but unfortunately, you were either in seclusion or out on a mission." Fang Xu said.

Yun Wan nodded slightly: "Fang Xu, thank you."

Fang Xu sighed and said apologetically: "I am also responsible for the Yun family's affairs."

It was he who gave the Yun family the idea to move to the Muyun Grassland, but it ultimately led to the Yun family being labeled as traitors by the royal family. Yun Tianming died in the battle, Yun Qing's whereabouts were unknown, and Yun Jin is still being imprisoned by the eldest prince.

Yun Wan shook her head and said, "You are not to blame for this. The Yun family has long lost its foothold in the Yu Kingdom. This incident was bound to happen sooner or later."

If the Yun family continued to stay in Huangzhou and did not migrate to the Muyun Grassland, they might be able to survive for a while.

But in the end, it could not escape the fate of being cannibalized and swallowed up by others.

"I heard from General Sha that Yun Qing escaped into Tilan Mountain." Fang Xu thought for a moment and said.

Hearing this, Yun Wan's body trembled slightly, and then she looked at Fang Xu with some doubt and asked: "Brother is still alive?"

Fang Xu nodded.

Yun Wan's sad expression revealed a hint of joy as she murmured, "The old thief Emperor Yu dispatched the four generals under Zhao Wuji to besiege Huangzhou City. My father died at the hands of Xue Fu Tu."

"I thought Yun Qing..."

Xue Futu was the strongest among the four generals. During the great battle that day, Yun Wan heard with her own ears Xue Futu’s order that no one from the Yun family would be left alive. Yun Qing was the root of the Yun family, so Yun Wan thought that the royal family would definitely not keep him alive.

"I should go back to Tilan Mountain in a while, and then I'll go back and look for it."

Looking at Yun Wan's sad appearance, Fang Xu felt a little distressed.

Once upon a time, in Fenglin Town, Yun Wan had the noble aura of a girl born in heaven.

At that time, she single-handedly wiped out the Zhang family in Fenglin Town, forcing Zhang Mingliang's father Zhang Hong to give up all his property and kowtow to beg for death in front of so many people.

It has only been a short time, and the former princess of Huangzhou Yun family has become a person with no one to rely on, her family broken up and her loved ones helpless.

"You have already reached the Great Perfection of Martial Arts?"

Feeling the aura of Yun Wan, Fang Xu spoke.

Yun Wan nodded: "Master told me not to rush to break through to the Martial Honor level, and said that I could come to Dengxiantai to temper my soul."

At this point, Yun Wan frowned and said, "But now I just want to improve my cultivation as quickly as possible, and then avenge my father and the people who died tragically!"

Seeing the hatred flashing in Yun Wan's eyes, Fang Xu didn't know how to persuade her for a moment, so he could only lower his voice and say, "Deacon Yanwu asked you to temper your soul, so she naturally has her own intentions."

"The soul is very important to a warrior. You will understand it in the future."

Chu Rendi didn't let him tell others that the soul was the key to breaking through to the Martial Honor level, so he could only hint to Yun Wan. "Really?" Yun Wan asked suspiciously.

Fang Xu nodded, looked at the team that had already walked away in front and said, "Let's go, we are almost there."

The two followed the team and soon arrived at the Dengxiantai.

"The restrictions on the Immortal Stage are aimed directly at the soul, and are extremely dangerous. If you go back up, don't try to be brave."

"Stay on whatever level you can reach. If your soul is damaged, it will be difficult to heal."

After giving Yun Wan a few instructions, Fang Xu headed straight towards the Ascension Platform.

As a pervert who had once reached the eighth level, the first few levels of the Immortal Platform were no longer challenging for him.

Soon, Fang Xu passed the disciples of the Ascension Society and arrived at the seventh floor.

"Look, it's Senior Brother Fang!"

"He's here to break into Dengxiantai again!"

"Brother Fang, are you going to challenge the ninth floor this time?"

"The ninth floor? How is this possible!?"

……

In fact, in the Ascension Meeting, most of the disciples who come to the Ascension Platform are aiming for the contribution points on each level.

Only a very small number of people realize during a training session that they can use the restrictions of the Ascension Platform to temper their souls and regard it as a rare resource for cultivation.

So, when they saw Fang Xu coming to the Ascension Platform again, the disciples instinctively thought that Fang Xu was here to break through to the ninth floor to get contribution points.

Ignoring their discussions, Fang Xu went straight to the eighth floor and sat down cross-legged.

The pressure of the eighth level is just right for him now.

After sitting cross-legged, Fang Xu began to temper his soul.

Deep in his sea of ​​consciousness, the strength of his soul was now no weaker than that of some strong men at the ninth level of Martial Honor.

However, there is still some gap to achieve the breakthrough of Martial Honor and reach the Yuanwu realm.

But Fang Xu was not in a hurry. He was only at the peak of the second level of martial artist and not even a martial arts master. It was still too far for him to consider the Yuanwu realm.

The reason why he spent time to temper his soul was that during this period of practice, Fang Xu discovered that the Dragon's Wandering Star Map, which he had not been able to comprehend since his sudden enlightenment at sea, reappeared in his sea of ​​consciousness as his soul became stronger.

Fang Xu guessed that as long as his soul was strong enough, he should be able to replicate the complete map of the Dragon's Wandering Stars.

After obtaining the Cauldron Casting Star Map and the Demonic Ape Battle Sky Star Map, Fang Xu had made up his mind that even if his cultivation breakthrough was slow, he would never compromise and must construct all his star maps in the Martial Master realm with special star maps.

Only in this way can he go further on the road of martial arts.

While using the pressure of the Ascension Platform to temper his soul, Fang Xu was also comprehending the somewhat vague map of the flying dragon in the stars in his sea of ​​consciousness.

As time passed, the people on the Ascension Platform changed one after another, but Fang Xu always sat on the eighth floor.

During this period, some other inner disciples who had reached the Martial Honor realm came to the eighth floor, but Fang Xu always sat in the corner of the eighth floor like a stone statue, motionless.

Until the maple leaves turned red and then slowly fell, a heavy snow turned Huayang Mountain into a world of ice and snow, and Fang Xu, who had climbed to the eighth floor of the Immortal Terrace, slowly woke up.

The moment his eyes opened, a five-clawed golden dragon flashed in his vision. Fang Xu slowly stood up, shook off the snowflakes on his body, and slowly walked down the immortal platform.

In the Law Enforcement Hall, Chu Rendi frowned at Fang Xu and said, "You have been sitting on the Ascension Platform for several months this time. What have you gained?"

He was warning Fang Xu not to neglect the cultivation of his soul, but he didn't expect Fang Xu to sit on the eighth level of the Ascension Platform for several months.

During this time, Chu Rendi even ran over to check it out, thinking that Fang Xu had gotten carried away again and tried to break into the ninth floor.

Fang Xu smiled and cupped his hands: "I have comprehended some small things."

Chu Rendi did not ask any more questions, but said directly: "Follow me, I will take you to see something."

Fang Xu nodded and followed Chu Rendi to Jiang Feng’s secluded residence in the back mountain.

The disciples guarding outside the bamboo forest saw that it was Chu Rendi and did not stop him but let him in directly.

Fang Xu followed behind him, and the two of them came to the outside of the bamboo house.

"Brother Jiang, I would like to ask for a key to the Star Palace."

Inside the bamboo house, Jiang Feng did not speak, and what responded to Chu Rendi was a strange token.

Chu Rendi caught the flying token and took Fang Xu around the bamboo house and continued walking towards the back mountain.

Fang Xu asked curiously, "Master, where are we going?"

Chu Rendi said calmly: "The Yu Kingdom Ascension Association will have three major cultivation resources. Do you know which three they are?"

Fang Xu thought for a moment and said, "The Cliff Palace, the Ascension Platform, and the Wanfa Stone Tower?"

Chu Rendi shook his head and said, "Although the Wanfa Stone Pagoda is not bad, it cannot be compared with the Cliff Underground Palace and the Dengxian Terrace."

"This third cultivation resource is called the Star Palace. In terms of importance, the Star Palace is even more important than the Cliff Underground Palace."

Star Palace?

Fang Xu looked up at the end of the winding staircase in front of him and asked curiously, "Master, what does Xinggong do?"

Chu Rendi explained as he walked: "As we all know, in order for a warrior to break through from a martial arts apprentice to a martial arts master, he needs to build a star map in his body."

"The nine orifices form a map, but the differences between the star maps are huge."

"When ordinary warriors construct star maps in their bodies, they often just use the divine bridge to connect the nine opened acupoints to form the simplest star map."

"There is a big gap between this star map and some special star maps."

As Chu Rendi spoke, he slowly raised his hand, and a bloodstained guillotine immediately appeared in his palm!

Observing closely, Fang Xu could feel the bloodstained guillotine emanating a chilling murderous aura!
"This is the ninth star map of the master, the Prison."

"With the help of this star map, I can condense my murderous aura into something almost substantial..." As he spoke, he waved his hand suddenly!

next moment!
A ferocious shadow wearing armor and holding a giant saber rushed forward!

The shadow was moving at an extremely fast speed and passed directly through a big tree next to the stone steps, but did not damage the tree at all.

When Fang Xu was wondering what the use of Chu Rendi's trick was, he was shocked to find that the originally lush trees were withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The leaves on the tree slowly withered, and in a few breaths, it turned into a dead tree.

Seeing this, Fang Xu's pupils shrank slightly!
How could this attack method be so strange?
Seeing his shocked look, Chu Rendi smiled and said, "A warrior's attack method is not limited to physical damage. At my level, some special warriors can directly attack the enemy's soul."

"This is the magic of the special star map."

The master and disciple continued to walk along the stone steps towards the top of the mountain.

"The Star Palace is a treasure bestowed by the Immortal Island on the Yu Kingdom's Ascension Meeting. There are now thirty-six star maps collected in the Star Palace. If you can comprehend any of these star maps, you will be able to improve your strength a lot."

Listening to Chu Rendi's words, Fang Xu looked a little strange.

He guessed that the special star map should be very powerful, so since he broke through to the level of martial artist, he has not been in a hurry to break through, waiting for himself to comprehend the new star map.

Chu Rendi didn't know yet that Fang Xu already had three of these seemingly extremely valuable star maps.

The first tripod-casting star map made his attacks full of the heaviness of the tripod, and each blow possessed a tremendous force.

The second Demon Ape Battle Sky Map, combined with the Demon Ape Three Transformations, gave him a deeper understanding of the magical powers.

The Divine Dragon's Wandering Star Map was something he had just perfected on the Ascension Platform. He hadn't yet broken through to the third realm of martial artist, so he didn't know what the specific effect would be.

"arrive."

Following Chu Rendi to a cave, Fang Xu looked around.

Although it is called the Star Palace, there doesn’t seem to be anything special about it. It is just a remote cave without even a single person guarding it.

As soon as his thoughts came to his mind, he heard his master bow slightly towards the cave in front of him: "Disciple Chu Rendi, please ask the mountain king to open the Star Palace."

Tiger?

Fang Xu was stunned for a moment, staring at the stone door of the cave in front of him.

The next moment, the stone door slowly rose up, and a strange voice came from inside the cave: "Three hundred thousand contribution points."

Chu Rendi did not bargain at all and immediately took out his identity token.

call out!
A suction force came from the cave, sucking his identity token directly into it, and then throwing it out.

"Give me the keys."

Chu Rendi quickly took out the token-shaped thing that Jiang Feng had given him.

After the suction force in the cave sucked the token in, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the whole cave.

"Okay, let the little guy in. The time limit is ten days."

Hearing this, Chu Rendi looked at Fang Xu behind him and said, "Go in, and remember what your master said."

"Once you have chosen one of the thirty-six star maps, you should seize the time to comprehend it and never change your target easily."

"If you can comprehend a star map in ten days, you will have made a profit."

Fang Xu frowned: "Master, three hundred thousand contribution points..."

Chu Rendi smiled faintly: "Master basically doesn't need contribution points in the short term, don't worry about it, go in quickly."

Fang Xu nodded, didn't say anything more, and walked straight towards the cave.

It was pitch black in the cave. Fang Xu looked around, wanting to see what this mountain king, whom even his master respected, looked like.

"Boy, don't look around, just keep walking straight along the cave."

The strange sound of the tiger suddenly sounded from the darkness on all sides, scaring Fang Xu so much that he quickly withdrew his gaze and continued to move forward.

After walking for about a few hundred meters, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of me.

The next moment, a huge dome appeared in front of him!

The entire dome looked like an endless starry sky, dotted with stars. Looking up, Fang Xu couldn't help but be shocked.

If he hadn't known that he was in a cave, he would have thought that he was walking under the starry sky in the middle of the night.

It is unknown how the starry sky in the Star Palace was created, and there is absolutely no trace of artificiality.

After looking at it quietly for a moment, Fang Xu did not dare to waste time, and quickly sat cross-legged on the ground to begin to comprehend.

This was an opportunity that Chu Rendi had bought with 300,000 contribution points. If he couldn't comprehend a star map, how could he be worthy of his efforts?
After sitting cross-legged on the ground, Fang Xu's consciousness gradually became blurred, and then he came to a starry universe.

This feeling reminded him of his experience on the endless ocean.

The starry sky before me is completely different from the starry sky I saw on the endless ocean.

The starry sky he saw above the endless ocean, there were tens of thousands of stars as far as the naked eye could see, densely packed for him to choose from.

But now, there are only thirty-six star maps distributed around this starry sky.

So what, thirty-six. Fang Xu slowly looked at the star maps around him.

After some selection, he suddenly saw the Prison Star Map owned by his master Chu Rendi!

Amid the twinkling stars, a huge bloodstained guillotine lay across the starry sky, looking very strange and terrifying.

However, after just a few glances, Fang Xu lost interest in the Prison Star Map.

There was no other reason. After some observation, he suddenly discovered that the thirty-six star maps in the Star Palace seemed to be divided into three levels according to brightness.

The twelve brightest, the twelve medium, and the twelve dimmest.

Chu Rendi’s prison star map is one of the twelve medium-sized star maps.

The brightness of this star map is simply incomparable to the three star maps he has.

Automatically ignoring the dim and medium star maps, Fang Xu looked at the twelve brightest ones.

The first thing that caught his eyes was a star map of a giant sword reaching the sky. Countless stars were included in it, forming a giant sword reaching the sky!

From this star map, Fang Xu could feel an extremely terrifying sense of cutting. This sharp sense of cutting made him feel that once he mastered this star map, every sword he swung would be able to exert the power to cut through space.

It’s a pity that I don’t use a sword.

He skipped this star map and looked at the second one.

It was a giant turtle flying in the starry sky!
A large number of stars form the shell and four legs of the giant turtle, and the whole turtle looks extremely heavy and stable.

Seeing this, Fang Xu hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to take a look at something else first.

The third star map was a ball of strange flame emitting black and purple colors!
All the stars that made up the star map were flickering in the burning flame, looking extremely strange.

More importantly, Fang Xu felt a throbbing sensation from the depths of his soul on this flame!

This ball of fire seems to be extremely terrifying and can burn the soul!

Fang Xu was overjoyed and immediately decided not to watch the rest and chose this flame star map!

His eyes were fixed on the dancing flames in the void, and thousands of stars were reflected in his sea of ​​consciousness.

There are only nine key points in constructing a star map. It is actually very difficult to find the most critical point among thousands of stars.

This kind of understanding requires warriors to see through complex appearances and understand the essence of things.

The flames in his sea of ​​consciousness continued to grow larger, and Fang Xu continued to comprehend it, not noticing that a faint red glow had appeared on the chest of his physical body.

That was the mark left after Yan Shen Zang was integrated into himself.

Amidst the flashing red light, Fang Xu's body began to gradually heat up. The Flame Spirit Solution began to operate automatically within his body. Within the acupoint space, the original energy that escaped from the Stone Gate World was transformed by the Flame Spirit Solution and turned into balls of flame that traveled through his meridians.

The flames accumulated more and more, and finally, a ball of scarlet flame suddenly emerged in Fang Xu's sea of ​​consciousness. The moment this flame appeared, the purple-black flame shadow in front of Fang Xu's eyes suddenly became brighter.

The countless stars that made up the flaming star map suddenly melted, one after another, and disappeared in the flames.

Gradually, when there were only nine stars left out of thousands, the black flames disappeared, leaving only nine glowing stars imprinted in Fang Xu's sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, he also knew the name of this star map.

Divine Blossom!

Fang Xu slowly opened his eyes, and there was still endless darkness all around him. He didn't know how much time he had spent comprehending the Shenyi Star Map this time.

"Little guy, you have good talent. You still have four days."

In the darkness, the voice of the mountain king sounded.

Fang Xu was stunned for a moment and closed his eyes again.

There are still four days left, and I cannot waste them. Even if I cannot fully comprehend a star map, I can still imprint the general appearance of a star map in my sea of ​​consciousness, just like when I comprehended the star map of the flying dragon, and then rely on my powerful soul to comprehend it bit by bit.

Perhaps only he can do this.

After all, in the realm of martial artists, no one has been able to refine his soul to such a powerful level, able to imprint an entire un-comprehended star map in his sea of ​​consciousness.

His consciousness sank into that wonderful state again, and Fang Xu began to choose the next star map.

Sky-reaching sword bamboo!

When he looked at the seventh star map, Fang Xu discovered a sword bamboo!

The huge and verdant sword bamboo stands quietly in the starry sky, and each bamboo leaf encompasses countless stars!
Jiang Feng's magical power is the Tongtian Sword Bamboo. Fang Xu estimated that Jiang Feng should also have understood this star map.

However, he was not very interested in this kind of star map, so he skipped the seventh star map and continued reading.

The eighth, the ninth...

When his eyes looked at the eleventh star map, he was stunned for a moment!

Kui Niu!

A huge Kuiniu appeared in the endless starry sky!

The densely packed stars form one of Kuiniu's legs. In comparison, the stars on the cow's body do not seem to be that many.

Fang Xu observed it for a while and immediately decided to choose this star map.

Possessing the secret Kuiniu Power, he felt that if he could comprehend this star map, it would be a greater improvement and easier for him.

His eyes were fixed on the Kuiniu star map. Everything was just as he expected. He possessed the secret Kuiniu power, which was equivalent to him having understood the ancient mythical beast Kuiniu once. This time, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort by comprehending the Kuiniu star map.

He eliminated a large number of stars one by one and soon locked onto several key targets.

After repeated attempts, just when Fang Xu felt that he was about to comprehend this star map, a voice suddenly sounded in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"It's time, kid."

The stars in the sky disappeared, and Fang Xu was forced to wake up from his meditation.

"Shan Jun, I almost understood the star map, but now you..."

Fang Xu couldn't help but complain, but the mountain king in the dark smiled and said, "Boy, now you understand how difficult it is to practice?"

"If you want to continue your contemplation, next time when you have enough contribution points, I will pay for a month, or two months. I will never disturb you."

"Okay, let's go out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xu felt a gentle force pushing his body out of the cave.

At the entrance of the cave, Chu Rendi saw Fang Xu being released and slowly asked, "How is it?"

Fang Xu cupped his hands and said, "I have understood one."

"Top quality?" asked Chu Rendi.

Fang Xu nodded.

Chu Rendi smiled: "It's worth it."

"Let's go."

The master and the disciple slowly walked down the mountain.

On the way, Fang Xu thought for a moment and said, "Master, there is something I don't understand."

Chu Rendi paused and said, "Tell me about it."

Fang Xu said, "Special star maps require the opening of specific acupoints. After my disciple comprehends the star map, how can he open up specific acupoints according to the star map?"

He is currently only at the second level of martial artist, but he has mastered four and a half special star maps. Logically speaking, his realm can be raised to the fifth level of martial artist.

But because he refused to compromise, his realm could never be raised.

"There is no good way to open up specific acupoints." Chu Rendi pondered for a moment and continued: "Generally speaking, after mastering a special star map, your body will subconsciously guide you to open the acupoints required by the star map."

"This is also the reason why, since ancient times, no warrior has been able to make all nine star maps in his body become special star maps."

"Like my teacher and Elder Jiang, only five of the nine star maps in their bodies are special star maps."

Hearing this, Fang Xu was a little disappointed.

He thought Chu Rendi would have some good way to solve this problem.

It seems that I still have to find a way to improve my strength, and then use the extremely terrifying primitive energy of the Shimen world to forcibly break open those unopened acupoints.

Raw energy!?
Thinking of this, Fang Xu suddenly remembered that there were seven jars of purification pools of energy from heaven and earth in his Qiankun bag!

Since the original energy behind the stone gate world and the energy of heaven and earth in the purification pool are of the same level of energy.

Then can I use the energy of heaven and earth in the Qiankun bag to forcibly open the acupoints?
After some thought, Fang Xu felt that this method should be feasible.

I immediately planned to try it when I got back.

After coming down from the mountain and saying goodbye to Chu Rendi, Fang Xu went straight back to his residence and couldn't wait to take out all the jars of wine.

Seven jars of wine were placed in front of him. Fang Xu sat cross-legged on the bed, picked up one of the jars, raised his head and started drinking.

The consciousness controlled these energies and flowed along the built divine bridge towards an unopened acupoint!

The acupoint immediately flashed with a faint light. With the injection of massive amounts of energy, Fang Xu could clearly feel that his guess was correct!
Boo!
The energy of a jar of green liquid was used up, and the fifth acupoint of the Dragon's Wandering Star Map was successfully opened!

Since the idea was correct, Fang Xu no longer felt sorry for the green liquid and started to force a breakthrough.

Another four jars of green liquid were used up by him, and the nine acupoints in his body that constructed the Divine Dragon's Wandering Star Map were successfully lit up!

hold head high!
The star map was successfully constructed, and Fang Xu vaguely heard a loud dragon roar coming from his body!

The next moment, countless confusing information appeared out of nowhere in his sea of ​​consciousness.

After digesting all this confusing information, a gleam of joy suddenly flashed in Fang Xu's eyes.

Secret technique!

It is definitely a secret technique, not a secret method!
The moment the Dragon's Wandering Star Map was constructed, he suddenly acquired a secret technique called "Dragon Wandering"!

There was no rush to try out the effects of the "Dragon Swim" secret technique. Fang Xu looked at the two remaining jars of green liquid in front of him. He hesitated for a long time and ultimately chose not to use them up.

To construct the Shenyi Star Map, he had seven acupoints that had not been opened up. Even if he used these two jars, it would be a drop in the bucket. It would be better to put it aside for the time being.

After putting the two wine jars back into his Qiankun bag, Fang Xu got off the bed and walked slowly towards the Law Enforcement Hall.

"Fang Xu, you've come at the right time. Your master was just about to send someone to look for you." As soon as he stepped into the door of the Law Enforcement Hall, Chu Rendi walked over and said.

"Is there a mission?" Fang Xu asked curiously.

He has been a member of the Law Enforcement Hall for some time, but has never done any missions.

This was originally because his cultivation level was relatively low and the missions in the Law Enforcement Hall were relatively dangerous, so Chu Rendi had never assigned him many tasks.

"There is a promotion mission in the outer sect, and I want you to try it."

One of the daily tasks of the Law Enforcement Hall disciples is to monitor whether the outer disciples have used external forces during the promotion process and to protect their lives at critical moments.

On weekdays, these tasks are usually carried out by disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall who have reached the Martial Honor level.

But this time, Chu Rendi asked Fang Xu to give it a try.

Fang Xu nodded: "Where is the mission location?"

Chu Rendi took out a scroll and handed it to him, saying, "Take a look first."

Fang Xu took the scroll, opened it and took a look, with a strange look on his face, "Northern Liangzhou?"

Chu Rendi nodded and said, "The forces in Liangzhou are complicated. The Law Enforcement Hall has received accurate information that a group of desert thieves attacked the herb-collecting team of Baicao Hall some time ago. The promotion task this time is to let this disciple named Shen Nan eliminate these thieves and bring back the stolen herbs."

Fang Xu was a little confused, but when he thought that this task must have been specially assessed by someone and would not be too far beyond the capabilities of an outer disciple, he simply did not ask any more questions.

"Disciple understands."

Chu Rendi thought for a moment and then warned, "Remember one thing. Law Enforcement Hall disciples do not interfere with the tasks of disciples on missions in principle. Once you intervene, it means her mission has failed."

"If you encounter something that you cannot overcome, you just need to save her life."

Fang Xu nodded again: "Don't worry, Master."

"Okay, you can go to the Liangzhou Shengxianhui base in advance. That disciple will leave the day after tomorrow, and you can meet up at the base then."

Fang Xu bowed, took a cloud-stepping horse from the stable outside the mountain gate, and headed straight towards Liangzhou City.
