Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 161: One Dream for Two Years, Mysterious Water Soul
On the second day after returning to the Shengxian Association, Fang Xu came to the Affairs Hall.

The reward for exploring the Tilan Mountain ruins this time was 30,000 contribution points for each of them, plus Wu Ling temporarily issued a task on the fourth floor of the ruins to find the entrance to the fifth floor, for a total of 130,000 contribution points.

In addition, Fang Xu sorted out the things he harvested from Tilan Mountain overnight, and planned to take the useless ones to the Affairs Hall to exchange them for contribution points.

His Qiankun bag now looked like a storage room, filled with all kinds of messy things.

"Fang Xu, you're here just in time."

As soon as he entered the office, he ran into Yan Wu who was walking out of the office. When he saw Fang Xu, Yan Wu took out several tokens of different colors and said, "This is your reward."

"The exploration mission is worth 30,000 contribution points. These 100,000 contribution points were sent by Elder Wuling, and I'll give them to you as well."

Fang Xu took a few tokens and said, "Deacon Yanwu, I have some things that I want to exchange for contribution points. Can you arrange it for me?"

"Oh?" Yan Wu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay."

After agreeing to this, she called an inner disciple from the Affairs Hall and led Fang Xu to a private room next to the Affairs Hall.

After waiting in the private room for a while, several more people arrived.

These people include Huang Qingzhou from Baicao Hall, a direct disciple of Tieshan from Shenbing Hall, an inner disciple of Wanfa Stone Pagoda, and disciples from Puppet Hall.

The disciples of the Ascension Society have gained something outside but cannot use it themselves. If they want to exchange it for contribution points, there are two ways.

The first is to know clearly what you have obtained. If it is for alchemy, you can go to Baicaotang by yourself. If it is for refining weapons, you can go to Shenbingtang by yourself...

Secondly, if the items are rather complicated, you can come directly to the Affairs Hall, which will contact other halls for unified appraisal.

After everyone arrived, they saw that it was Fang Xu. People like Huang Qingzhou and the disciple from the Divine Weapon Hall greeted Fang Xu enthusiastically.

Fang Xu took out all the things he had sorted out.

Some of these things he obtained in Tilan Mountain, and some were looted from the warriors who died at his hands.

In short, he doesn't plan to keep anything he doesn't need.

The disciples from various halls began to carefully select from the things Fang Xu took out and finally gave a quote.

Through this exchange, Fang Xu obtained a total of nearly 100,000 contribution points.

The most valuable items among them turned out to be the three pieces of strange minerals he found in the secret compartment.

Although Fang Xu didn't know what it was, but when he noticed the reaction of his senior brother from the Divine Weapon Hall after seeing the three pieces of ore, he knew that it was definitely some extremely rare refining material.

After the items were delivered, Fang Xu's contribution points had reached 240,000, and he only needed 60,000 to enter the Star Palace again.

In fact, 40,000 contribution points is not too difficult for Fang Xu.

There are many good things in his Qiankun bag, and any one of these things is worth more than 40,000 contribution points.

For example, the demon pill, the black jade tablet, the small sword, and so on.

But Fang Xu didn't plan to sell these things.

After returning from the office, he hung a lantern directly at the gate of his courtyard, ready to carefully reflect on the gains of this trip.

Inside the room, Fang Xu took out the black jade tablet.

The location of the black jade stele is enough to prove its extraordinary nature. Placing the black jade stele in front of him, Fang Xu comprehended it carefully.

Consciousness soon appeared in a strange space.

water!
Black water!

In the theory of the Five Elements, water is dark in color.

The space where Fang Xu is now is filled with a vast expanse of black that stretches as far as the eye can see.

Standing quietly on the water, he could hardly see any light, nor anything other than the black ocean.

What is this for you to realize?
Fang Xu looked around in confusion, then randomly chose a direction and walked slowly forward.

My feet were stepping on the soft black water. I didn't know how long I had been walking, but the scenery around me remained unchanged.

The sky was pitch black, the water was pitch black, and apart from the slight sound of water ripples when I walked, I could not hear any other sound.

Fang Xu's consciousness gradually became agitated.

He wanted to push his consciousness out, but found that there was no response at all, as if his consciousness was trapped here.

This discovery made his heart sink.

If the consciousness is completely trapped, one's body will age rapidly. If one is trapped here for hundreds or thousands of years, by the time the consciousness returns, the body will probably have decayed long ago.

This is how to do?
Standing quietly on the black water, Fang Xu wanted to mobilize his Cauldron Casting Star Map to see if he could break through this strange space.

However, no matter how he used the cauldron from the Casting Cauldron Star Map to attack, the black water beneath his feet would be able to dissipate all the force in the first place, making it completely ineffective.

Fang Xu had no choice but to once again use the secret technique of Dragon Swimming, Kui Niu Jin, and even the three transformations of the Demon Ape.

But nothing worked.

He was desperate.

As time passed, Fang Xu didn't know how long he had been trapped there.

The endless loneliness and the unchanging environment gradually smoothed out Fang Xu's irritability and temper as time went by.

At this moment, he seemed to have given up the idea of ​​finding a way out, and was lying quietly on the black water and sleeping.

……

outside world.

Yun Wan stood outside Fang Xu's courtyard, staring at the lantern that was covered with dust, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

"It's been a year. Are you still in seclusion?"

Muttering something, Yun Wan's eyes flashed with determination, and she went straight to the Law Enforcement Hall.

"You want to go in and take a look?"

In the Law Enforcement Hall, Chu Rendi frowned as he looked at Yun Wan in front of him.

"Deacon Chu, it's been a year, I'm worried..."

Chu Rendi nodded slightly. During this year, he had visited Fang Xu's courtyard several times.

But seeing lanterns hanging outside Fang Xu's gate meant he was in seclusion.

Chu Rendi didn't bother him either.

However, for a martial artist, it is normal to stay in seclusion for more than a month, but more than three months is considered a long time.

Fang Xu has been in seclusion for a year now, and Chu Rendi also feels that he should go in and take a look in case something goes wrong with Fang Xu's training.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Leading Yun Wan, Chu Rendi came to Fang Xu's courtyard. He reached out and broke the bolt behind the door, and the two walked in slowly.

The door of the room was already covered with some dust. The two pushed the door open and saw the person sitting cross-legged on the bed.

But his image at this moment looked a little scary.

Warriors can practice fasting for a short period of time because their own Qi and blood are abundant.

But Fang Xu has been in seclusion for a year, and the energy and blood in his body are almost exhausted, even if they are just to maintain the most basic consumption of the body.

Now he looked like a corpse wrapped in skin and bones, without any breath in his body.

When Yun Wan saw this scene, her eyes were full of disbelief.

"Deacon Chu, I... I can't sense Fang Xu's aura anymore..."

"Fang Xu..."

Tears as big as beans rolled down Yun Wan's eyes.

Chu Rendi was also panicking at this time. As a martial artist at the peak of martial arts, he could not sense any signs of Fang Xu being alive at this moment!
Chu Rendi came to Fang Xu tremblingly, stretched out his hand carefully, gently touched Fang Xu's body, and slowly closed his eyes to feel it.

Under the perception of spiritual power, Chu Rendi suddenly discovered that there was a faint soul fluctuation in Fang Xu's body!

"not dead!"

"Fang Xu is not dead!"

Chu Rendi quickly opened his eyes, looked at Yun Wan and said, "You watch here and don't let anyone get close to him. I'm going to find Xu Changqing and Senior Brother Jiang!"

Yun Wan nodded quickly.

A moment later, Yun Wan's courtyard was full of people.

These include Jiang Feng, the elder in charge of the Ascension Society, Xu Changqing, the deacon of the Baicao Hall, Tieshan, the deacon of the Divine Weapon Hall, Jiang Lu of the Ascension Platform, as well as Huang Qingzhou, Chu Mu and other disciples.

"Brother Jiang, Old Xu, you two can go in. The rest of you should not go in and disturb us."

Chu Rendi glanced at everyone, then led Jiang Feng and Xu Changqing to Fang Xu's room.

Seeing Fang Xu's appearance at this moment, they were both stunned.

Jiang Feng's eyes noticed the black jade tablet in Fang Xu's arms. After noticing the patterns on the jade tablet, his expression suddenly changed.

"Senior Brother Jiang, what's wrong?" Chu Rendi asked.

Jiang Feng shook his head, not daring to look at the jade tablet again, and said, "What a strange power. I just wanted to see what the patterns on the jade tablet were, but my soul felt a terrifying suction force, and my consciousness was almost sucked in."

Hearing this, Chu Rendi was a little shocked.

Jiang Feng’s current cultivation level is half a step to Yuanwu, and his soul is about to be completely formed. Even with the strength of his soul, he was almost sucked away by the jade tablet?
"Changqing, please check Fang Xu's body."

"Be careful, don't move the jade tablet."

The strangeness of the black jade stele made Jiang Feng realize at the first moment that Fang Xu’s consciousness must have been sucked into the black jade stele.

Xu Changqing nodded, carefully checked Fang Xu's body and said, "There is nothing wrong with his body. It's just that his energy and blood have been severely depleted because his consciousness has been out of his body for a long time."

"Old Xu, is there any way to wake him up?" Chu Rendi asked anxiously.

He only knows how to kill, but Xu Changqing is better at saving people.

Xu Changqing shook his head solemnly: "I am only a sixth-rank alchemist and I don't understand anything about the soul."

"But I think that in this situation, it is best for us not to rashly try to wake him up."

"I just checked and found that his consciousness and body are still slightly connected."

"If we rashly intervene and destroy this connection, his consciousness will probably be completely lost, and even gods won't be able to save him."

His words stunned everyone present.

"Then...then we can only watch like this, there is no other way?" Chu Rendi was anxious.

He looked at Jiang Feng and found that Jiang Feng shook his head slightly. He looked at Xu Changqing and Xu Changqing also shook his head.

Looking at Fang Xu who looked like a withered man, Chu Rendi's eyes flashed with determination and said, "Since you all have no solution, I will take him to the Fairy Island!"

As he said this, he was about to pick up Fang Xu's body.

"Junior Brother Chu!"

"Old Chu!"

Jiang Feng and Xu Changqing quickly grabbed him.

Chu Rendi looked at the two of them and said, "Fang Xu is my apprentice. I can't just watch him die slowly like this!"

Jiang Feng said: "With his current physical condition, it is impossible for him to reach the Fairy Island alive."

"Besides, you and I both know that Immortal Island may not be able to save him."

Chu Rendi was stunned.

Xu Changqing spoke to comfort him at this time: "Old Chu, I just checked Fang Xu's body, and it's just that his Qi and blood are exhausted."

"Our top priority now is to find a way to preserve his body."

"I will go back now and find a way to turn the Qi and Blood Pill into liquid medicine, and then try to replenish his body's Qi and Blood."

Upon hearing this, Chu Rendi looked at Fang Xu's thin figure and nodded slightly, saying, "Then I will go back and check the ancient books to see if I can find a good solution."

"Master, I will stay here to take care of Fang Xu."

Behind the three people, Yun Wan, who had been silent, spoke at this time.

Jiang Feng turned around, looked at her, nodded and said, "Okay, if there is anything, let us know in time."

Yun Wan cupped her hands and looked at Fang Xu in front of her, her eyes full of heartache.

Everyone left.

Chu Mu, Huang Qingzhou and others who were outside the door also came in to take a look at Fang Xu, but because Xu Changqing had instructed that no one was allowed to touch Fang Xu's body, they could only look at him from a distance and were then asked to leave by Yun Wan.

After everyone left, Yun Wan sat quietly beside Fang Xu and gently wiped the dust off his body.

"Fang Xu, you must hold on."

"You promised me that you would accompany me to find Yun Qing."

Yun Wan's slender palm slid across Fang Xu's face, which was only covered by a layer of skin. Her movements were very gentle, but her eyes were misty.

a long time--

Yun Wan slowly stood up and began to help Fang Xu clean everything in the room.

From inside the house to outside the house, from inside the yard to outside the yard, everything was wiped clean by her.

After wiping everything, she returned to Fang Xu and just looked at him quietly.

As the sky gradually darkened, Yun Wan lit the oil lamp in the house, filled a basin with clean water, and wiped Fang Xu's dusty face, neck, and palms...

Three days passed in a flash.

One day, Chu Mu brought Xu Changqing's improved Qi and Blood Pill to the courtyard.

"Sister Yun, Master said that this medicine should be able to help Brother Fang Xu replenish his qi and blood."

Yun Wan took the medicine, looked at the motionless Fang Xu, and slowly sat down beside him.

Chu Mu hurried over, ready to help her pry open Fang Xu's mouth and pour the medicine in.

But now Fang Xu was like a corpse, unable to even swallow, and the medicine poured into his mouth would immediately flow out.

The two girls looked a little anxious.

"There's no way this can get in!" Chu Mu said anxiously.

Yun Wan looked at Fang Xu, then looked at the medicine in her hand, slowly drank the medicine to the end, then gently pinched Fang Xu's mouth and kissed him.

This method was indeed effective. The medicinal liquid flowed into Fang Xu's body bit by bit, and then turned into pure qi and blood, watering his meridians that were about to dry up.

In the days that followed, Chu Mu would deliver the improved Qi and Blood Pill liquid every day, and Yun Wan would feed Fang Xu with her mouth every time.

Time flies, and a month has passed.

After Fang Xu's qi and blood were replenished, his body gradually recovered some of its vitality, and his originally shriveled body now looked more fleshy.

But Yun Wan still couldn't feel much breath of life from him.

One day, after feeding him the medicine, Yun Wan found that Fang Xu's body felt a little better, and the black jade tablet in his hand fell down by itself.

"Fang Xu!?"

The sudden movement made her think that Fang Xu had woken up.

After picking up the black jade tablet, Yun Wan realized that she was overthinking.

Fang Xu still hadn't woken up, but his body was able to lie down.

In the days that followed, Yun Wan changed his clothes, wiped his body, and combed his hair.

Like a virtuous wife taking care of her bedridden husband, every movement Yun Wan made was gentle.

This kind of life lasted for another half a year.

During this period, Fang Xu's friends and teachers including Lu Zhiyuan, Tongtong, Long Long, Ningxiang and others came to the courtyard.

Ningxiang even said that she should take care of Fang Xu and let Yunwan practice well.

But at this moment, Yun Wan was not willing to entrust Fang Xu to anyone, so she just stayed here quietly.

……

In the dark space, on the black water surface, Fang Xu was still sleeping.

The body of consciousness just lay quietly on the black water, without any movement.

He didn't know how long he had been asleep, and he didn't know that so many people in the outside world were worried about him.

He was in a strange situation at this time.

As his conscious body breathed, ripples gradually appeared on the originally calm black water surface around him, and these ripples were completely synchronized with his breathing frequency.

The ripples spread out in circles and drifted away into the distance, until finally, the entire black ocean was covered with such ripples.

The calm black water began to ripple.

Then the splashes turned into waves, gently hitting Fang Xu's consciousness.

Up and down, high and low...

Fang Xu's consciousness was like a small boat in the endless ocean, rising and falling with the waves.

After an unknown amount of time, a wave came and his tightly closed eyes seemed to move.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were full of confusion.

Sitting up on the black water, Fang Xu looked around, then stretched and slowly stood up.

"I slept for a very long time..."

Muttering something, he looked down at the black water beneath his feet, and without seeing any movement, his body slowly sank.

outside world.

Yun Wan was sitting quietly on the threshold of the room, with her chin in her hands, looking at the sunset in the sky.

In the room, the black jade tablet placed next to the bed suddenly made a slight buzzing sound.

Then, under Yun Wan's gaze, the jade stele flew up out of thin air and then hovered quietly above Fang Xu's head.

The black light bloomed and completely enveloped Fang Xu's body.

Yun Wan hurried over and watched everything happening in front of her with surprise and joy on her face.

Two years!
Finally there is movement!

In her opinion, in the current situation, any movement is a good thing!
The dark light on the black jade stele became stronger and stronger, and finally turned into a black curtain that directly enveloped Fang Xu.

Then, these black rays swarmed towards Fang Xu's body!

In just a few breaths, the black light disappeared, and the black jade stele also disappeared.

Yun Wan looked at Fang Xu on the bed with anticipation, hoping that he would suddenly wake up the next moment.

But she kept watching for half an hour, and Fang Xu still didn't move.

Sitting slowly on the edge of the bed, Yun Wan gently stroked Fang Xu's face and said softly, "It's been two years, Fang Xu, it's time for you to wake up."

……

In the endless black ocean, Fang Xu just soaked quietly in the black water with his eyes slightly closed.

The sea water gently caressed his body, and he seemed to hear voices calling him in his ears.

The next moment, in the black sea, Fang Xu suddenly opened his eyes!
call--

He exhaled a breath of foul air, jumped out of the water, and then looked up at the dark sky.

"It's time to leave."

The body of consciousness flashed and his figure disappeared.

"Ok?"

As soon as his consciousness returned to his body, Fang Xu felt something soft on his lips.

Her eyelids slightly raised, and a pretty face that looked a little haggard was within reach.

Feeling the warmth of her lips and looking at the pretty face in front of him, Fang Xu slowly raised his arms, which he hadn't raised for two years, and hugged the person in front of him tightly.

Yun Wan, who was feeding medicine, suddenly felt a pair of strong arms around her waist. She lost her balance and fell directly on Fang Xu's body.

Her beautiful eyes widened as she watched Fang Xu's eyes twitch slightly, as if he was trying to hold back a smile. She was stunned.

He let a domineering tongue pry open his teeth and completely forgot to struggle.

a long time--

Tears fell from her eyes one by one.

Hot tears dripped onto Fang Xu's face.

He slowly opened his eyes, sat up and looked at the person in front of him.

"Why are you crying?"

Yun Wan didn't say anything, but just looked at him infatuatedly, the tears in her eyes were like beads that had broken off the string, constantly flowing out.

Fang Xu slowly raised his hand to wipe her, then quietly held her in his arms.

At this moment, Yun Wan couldn't help it anymore. She hugged Fang Xu's body tightly with her arms and cried loudly.

Fang Xu just held her quietly, listening to her crying, and letting her tears wet his clothes.

For a long time, for a long time——

Yun Wan let him go and sat aside wiping her tears.

Fang Xu slowly reached out his hand, wiped away the tears on her face and said softly:
"make you worry."

"Did I...sleep for a long time?"

Yun Wan stopped crying and choked up, "One year, eleven months and twenty days."

After hearing this, Fang Xu sighed: "It's been almost two years."

"Have you been taking care of me for the past two years?" Fang Xu said softly, looking at the spotless house and the clean clothes on his body.

Yun Wan nodded slightly, staring at Fang Xu with red and swollen eyes and said infatuatedly: "I thought..."

"Did you think I was dead?" After gently scratching her nose, Fang Xu got off the bed, and his body made a crackling sound.

Yun Wan looked at him and suddenly exclaimed, "Go tell Deacon Chu right away. I heard that Deacon Chu is planning to go to the Fairy Island for your matter in the next few days."

Fairy Island?

Fang Xu frowned, then looked at Yun Wan and said, "Then wait here for me. I'll go see Master."

Yun Wan nodded.

Law Enforcement Hall.

Seeing Fang Xu standing in front of him unharmed, Chu Rendi showed a rare smile on his face.

"Master, I'm sorry to have made you worried."

Chu Rendi smiled and said, "It will be good once you wake up."

"How is it? Is your soul injured?"

Injuried?

Fang Xu looked at the soul body in his sea of ​​consciousness that seemed to be real, shook his head and said: "It's a blessing in disguise. My disciple's soul power is very strong now."

"As long as his soul is not injured, it's good." Chu Rendi nodded with relief. Fang Xu had great potential, and he was afraid that the two years of sleep would cause irreparable damage to his soul, thus affecting his martial arts practice.

"It's nothing, go back and practice well."

"In the past two years, your cultivation has fallen further behind."

Chu Rendi spoke slowly.

Fang Xu nodded, bowed and said goodbye to Chu Rendi, then went straight back to his own courtyard, and then took Yun Wan to the villa at the foot of the mountain.

He knew that Lu Zhiyuan and the others must have been very worried during the two years he was in a coma.

And as for the old ape, two years have passed and I still don’t know whether he has succeeded in making a breakthrough.

When the two arrived at the villa at the foot of the mountain, everyone was still asleep.

Fang Xu pushed the door open and the moment they saw him, everyone in the yard was stunned.

"Brother Fang Xu!"

Tongtong was the first to react and flew directly into Fang Xu's arms.

"Hehe..." Fang Xu hugged her and smiled faintly: "You have grown into a big girl, you can't be like this."

Tongtong pouted: "I'm only sixteen..."

After letting go of Tong Tong, Fang Xu came to Lu Zhiyuan and bowed, "Master."

Lu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded: "How do you feel?"

"Very good." He replied, and then looked towards the room where the old ape was in seclusion: "Uncle Ape hasn't made a breakthrough yet?"

Lu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "How can it be that easy?"

"sit down."

"Ms. Yun, please take a seat too."

The two sat in front of Lu Zhiyuan, and Fang Xu asked, "Master, has anything major happened in the past two years?"

Having been out of touch with reality for two years, he must find out if anything has happened in these two years.

Lu Zhiyuan seems to have an intelligence organization in his hands, so I can take this opportunity to ask him.

"A lot of things happened, so I will just pick out a few important ones to talk about."

Lu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "First, the Wang family and the Feng family in Wucheng. After being tried by the Yu State Supervisory Department, the direct descendants of the two families were all exiled to Beicang City in the northern border."

"The current lord of Wucheng is the Chu family. The Chu family has also sworn allegiance to the royal family and handed over their private soldiers. The head of the Chu family is now serving in the court."

Fang Xu nodded when he heard this. He had already expected this.

In the friend list, the health of Wang Xiao, the head of the Wang family, and Feng Dong, the head of the Feng family, is only a few percent left. It seems that even if they are exiled, they will not have an easy time.

After all, the rise of every power is built on the corpses of countless people. Now that the Feng family and the Wang family have fallen, there will definitely be many people who will take advantage of the situation.

"Not long after the incident in Wucheng, Emperor Yu also took action against Lizhou and Jizhou."

"Of the seven states today, not counting Liangzhou in the north, Lizhou, Zhongzhou, Jizhou, and Huangzhou are already completely controlled by the royal family."

"What about Qingzhou and Yuzhou?" Fang Xu asked curiously.

Since Emperor Yu has chosen to take action, he must swiftly defeat the forces of the seven states and hold all power in his own hands.

"Yuzhou is wavering."

"Qingzhou... rebelled."

Speaking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Lu Zhiyuan's eyes.

"Qingzhou rebelled!" Fang Xu was a little surprised. "Qingzhou is very powerful, but it is no match for the royal family. How dare they rebel?"

"Qingzhou's power is naturally not as strong as the royal family, but what if we take the Yanshen Sect into account?" Lu Zhiyuan said with a faint smile.

Looking at his expression, Fang Xu suddenly realized that this matter should not be that simple.

"Master, the descendants of the Muyun Kingdom should have also participated, right?" Fang Xu said slowly.

Lu Zhiyuan looked at him quietly, then sighed and said, "Nan Wu and his men just took the opportunity to gather all the remnants of Muyun Country and prepare to take back Muyun Grassland. They did not cooperate with Yanshen Cult."

Fang Xu didn't know whether he should believe this statement.

But now is obviously not the time to dwell on this matter, he still wants to know what happens next.

"When Qingzhou rebelled, how did the royal family of Yu respond?" Fang Xu asked curiously.

"Of course we sent troops to suppress them." Lu Zhiyuan said with a strange look on his face, "The butcher Zhao Wuji personally led his men to Qingzhou, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides, but Zhao Wuji was injured by a mysterious person from the Yanshen Sect."

Zhao Wuji is injured! ?
Fang Xu was a little surprised, but he understood after thinking about it carefully.

The reason why Qingzhou dared to join forces with Yanshen Sect to rebel was that Saint Lu must have seen that Yanshen Sect had strong people who could compete with Zhao Wuji and Li Cangwu. Otherwise, in the face of absolute strength, rebellion would be tantamount to seeking death.

"Emperor Yu Li Cangwu didn't show up?" Fang Xu asked curiously.

Given Li Cangwu's overbearing personality, he would certainly not tolerate a rebellion in Qingzhou.

"Li Cangwu is in seclusion, and it is said that he is about to take that step." A trace of worry appeared on Lu Zhiyuan's face.

When Qingzhou rebelled, Nanwu sent someone to contact him, expressing his intention to take the opportunity to restore the country.

He also tried to stop it many times, thinking that it was too risky to choose to restore the country at this time. If Li Cangwu succeeded in breaking through, both the Lu family of Qingzhou and the Yanshen Sect would inevitably suffer a devastating blow.

The fact that the remnants of his Muyun Kingdom took advantage of the situation to loot would inevitably make Li Cangwu want to kill them, and by then there would probably not be a single survivor in the entire Muyun grassland.

"Is this also the reason why Yuzhou is wavering?" Fang Xu asked.

The strength of Yuzhou is in the middle and lower reaches among the seven states, only slightly stronger than Huangzhou and Lizhou.

The Lord of Yuzhou is probably now waiting and watching to see whether Emperor Yu breaks through first, or whether Qingzhou and Yanshen Sect break through the Zhongzhou Imperial City first.

"Is there anything else?"

Lu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "There is one more thing. Master Kulun, the number one person in Liangzhou, has disappeared."

Master Kulun is missing?
Fang Xu's expression changed slightly.

To him, Master Kulun was a respectable elder, and he had a deep friendship with his grandfather.

Two years ago, when I passed by Liangzhou, I gave him some Creation Elixir, waiting for him to break through to the Yuanwu realm. How come he suddenly disappeared?

"Master, do you have any news about the Master?" Fang Xu asked.

Lu Zhiyuan shook his head: "I only know that the master seems to have left Liangzhou on his own. He should be preparing to do something."

Hearing this, Fang Xu felt a little relieved.

Master Ku Lun left Liangzhou on his own initiative, which at least proves that he should be safe.

After chatting with Lu Zhiyuan for a while and making sure that the remaining matters were mostly trivial matters that had nothing to do with him, he said goodbye to everyone and returned to the Ascension Meeting with Yun Wan.

In the small courtyard, Yun Wan naturally followed Fang Xu into his courtyard. Seeing this, Fang Xu smiled but did not point it out.

After washing up, Yun Wan came to Fang Xu and frowned, saying, "The world is in chaos now, Yun Qing..."

Seeing her worried look, Fang Xu comforted her: "It's okay. The world is in chaos, and the royal family of Yu Kingdom has no intention of caring about Yun Qing."

Knowing that Yun Qing has joined the Yanshen Sect, and that the Yanshen Sect is now joining forces with Qingzhou in a rebellion, and that there is a strong man who can injure Zhao Wuji, Yun Qing's safety should not be a problem.

Yun Wan nodded, and then continued: "During the two years you were in a coma, some things happened in the Ascension Society."

Fang Xu was curious: "What are they all about?"

Yun Wan tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "I'm not too sure. I seldom went out in the past two years. I just heard what Senior Brother Huang and Mu said."

Hearing this, Fang Xu said with some guilt: "Thank you for your hard work over the past two years."

Yun Wan's cultivation level is still at the Martial Honor Level. Obviously, she hasn't practiced much in the past two years.

Thinking of this, Fang Xu's hand flashed with light, and he took out a jar of Creation Immortal Liquid and handed it to Yun Wan, saying: "This is for you, hurry up and make up for the lost cultivation."

Yun Wan took the wine jar and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Good stuff." Fang Xu said with a faint smile.

Yun Wan opened the jar of wine suspiciously, and suddenly a strong vitality energy filled the entire room.

"What a rich energy!"

"Fang Xu, what is this thing?"

Yun Wan exclaimed.

"Creation Immortal Liquid." Fang Xu said with a smile: "Drink slowly, I still have some."

Yun Wan nodded, carrying the jar of wine in her hand, walked to the futon at the side of the room, and sat down cross-legged.

Fang Xu looked at her and didn't say anything more. He just sat cross-legged on the bed and prepared to make a breakthrough.

During the past two years, his strength was still at the third level of martial artist. This time, the strength of his soul increased greatly, giving him the capital to break through.

His consciousness sank into the acupoint space. Looking at the stone door in front of him, Fang Xu stretched out his hand and took the stone spear that was nurtured in this acupoint world in his hand.

The next moment, the stone spear in his hand suddenly stabbed at the stone door!
boom!
The huge stone door trembled continuously, and then slowly opened a gap.

Seeing this, Fang Xu showed a smile.

Really useful!

The black jade tablet obtained from the ruins of Tilan Mountain is actually the second inheritance of Yanshen. It is also a set of exercises specifically targeting the soul. The name is very simple, it is called "Xuanshui Jing".

The first part of Yanshen's inheritance is "Yanshen Zang". "Yanshen Zang" changed his acupoints, causing a stone door to appear inside his acupoints.

The second part of the inheritance, "Xuan Shui Jing", changed his soul. Fang Xu's soul power was now like an endless ocean and possessed all the characteristics of Xuan Shui.

The shot just now was just a simple attempt. Next, Fang Xu's face became solemn, and the stone spear in his hand was gradually covered by a thick layer of black liquid!

In the acupoint space, Fang Xu's consciousness power also became as deep as the sea. The terrifying power had not yet burst out, but it had already caused the acupoint space to vibrate.

Then, Fang Xu suddenly jumped up!
The Xuanshui Gun in his hand turned into a long spear that pierced the sky and the earth, and he stabbed it towards the stone door in front of him!

The sharp tip of the gun hit the stone door without making any sound, but dense cracks slowly appeared on the huge stone door.

Next, golden rays of light poured out from the cracks in the stone gate, and then the entire stone gate turned golden!
After having experienced breaking through the stone door twice, Fang Xu understood that this was the stone door's protective mechanism.

Remember that you still have to face another wave of counterattacks from Shimen.

Sure enough, after the entire stone gate turned golden, countless golden lights turned into golden arrows that flew towards him!

Fang Xu kept blocking with a spear in hand!

But these arrows seemed very sharp, and the black water stone spear in his hand was soon riddled with holes.

Fang Xu frowned upon seeing this.

This stone spear is his life-saving weapon. If it is destroyed, he will suffer serious injuries.

Seeing that the stone spear was constantly being hit by the golden arrows, Fang Xu simply stopped using the stone spear to resist. He moved his body slightly, and his consciousness directly turned into a pool of black water.

Then a large amount of sea water gradually filled the entire acupoint space, and those black arrows shot at the black water had no effect at all.

The two sides continued to attack and defend in this way in the entire acupoint space.

Fang Xu couldn't do anything about the golden stone gate, and the golden arrows from the stone gate couldn't do anything to him.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a golden thunder appeared in the acupoint space, and Fang Xu immediately collected all the black water.

The battlefield was handed over to the golden thunder and the golden stone gate.

The black water disappeared, and the golden thunder instantly grew stronger. Countless terrifying thunders blasted towards the golden stone gate!

Although there were some obstacles from golden arrows along the way, the number of thunders was too great, and the golden stone gate was blasted into obscurity in the blink of an eye.

As a golden lightning as thick as a bucket fell, the golden stone gate exploded inch by inch and disappeared into the space of the acupoint.

A huge amount of primordial energy surged out the moment the stone gate disappeared.

These energies passed through the Divine Bridge and quickly lit up the nine acupoints according to the structure of the Divine Yi Star Map.

The moment the Shenyi Star Map was lit up, Fang Xu's soul was suddenly shocked!
The next moment, a strange scene of water and fire coexisting appeared in front of him!

A purple-black flame was burning quietly above the mysterious water, looking extremely strange.

Fang Xu slowly opened his eyes, and a purple-black flame flashed in his eyes.

When his eyes looked at the vase next to him, his soul moved slightly, and purple-black flames appeared on the vase out of thin air!

The flames burned, and the porcelain vase was quickly devoured by the flames and burned to nothingness in the blink of an eye!

Fang Xu frowned upon seeing this.

This is a form of soul attack, which is weird enough to be hard to defend against. The only drawback is that this attack method consumes a lot of soul power.

It's the kind of move that hurts the enemy by a thousand but hurts yourself by three thousand.

If you want to burn someone else's soul, you must at least use three times the power of the soul.

Fortunately, after being transformed by the "Xuan Shui Jing", his soul has become extremely powerful.

Judging from the current spiritual power, it should not be a problem to burn an ordinary Martial Master below the fifth level of Martial Master.

After successfully breaking through to the fourth level of martial artist, Fang Xu did not rest for long and closed his eyes again.

What he had to do now was to first comprehend the Kuiniu star map that he had not fully understood before in the Star Palace.

Then he broke through to the fifth level of martial artist in one fell swoop.

His consciousness sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, and a huge Kuiniu star map appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Most of the stars in the Kuiniu star map are concentrated in the Kuiniu's one foot. Fang Xu concentrated his mind on comprehending it, and after repeated attempts, he finally fully comprehended the Kuiniu star map.

Following the same method, his consciousness appeared again in another acupoint space and directly blasted the stone door apart with a crushing gesture!

The next moment, a large number of vines suddenly appeared from the cracks of the stone gate!

These vines grew out of the stone gate like giant pythons, and then quickly bound the entire stone gate tightly!

Not only that, after tying up the stone gate, these vines quickly occupied the entire acupoint space!

Under Fang Xu's surprised gaze, they all turned into sharp javelins and stabbed towards Fang Xu's position!
The sheer number of them made Fang Xu feel a little overwhelmed!
With nowhere to hide, he used his old trick again and transformed the power of his consciousness into dark water all over the sky!
But this time he miscalculated!
The javelins transformed from vines could not cause any harm to him, but after these vines plunged into the endless mysterious water, they began to swallow up the mysterious water transformed from Fang Xu's consciousness in big gulps!

Feeling his soul power being rapidly devoured, Fang Xu became terrified. He quickly took back the little remaining black water and began to dodge the vines' attacks.

But these vines seemed to have become addicted to the taste. After tasting the deliciousness of the mysterious water, they attacked Fang Xu like crazy, vowing to devour his soul!

Fang Xu dodged desperately while praying that the golden thunder would come soon!

Finally, as he had been waiting for so long, the golden thunder came!

The terrifying thunder smashed the vines into pieces!
As a result, the entire stone gate was also shattered by thunder!

The stone gate disappeared, raw energy surged out, and Fang Xu broke through again!

The moment the Kuiniu star map was constructed, Fang Xu felt his body suddenly sink, directly crushing the bed under him!

At the same time, the secret method of Kui Niu Jin also underwent great changes.

As for the specific effects of the changes, Fang Xu is not very clear without trying it himself.

"Fang Xu, what's wrong with you?"

The noise of the bed collapsing woke up Yun Wan who was sitting opposite. She looked at Fang Xu, who looked a little embarrassed, with a puzzled look on her face and asked.

"I didn't control my strength well." Fang Xu smiled awkwardly, looking at the bright sky outside and asked, "How long have I been practicing?"

"Less than a month." Yun Wan said, standing up from the futon and said, "Junior Sister Lu came to see you, and saw that you were in seclusion, so she left again."

Fang Xu nodded, turned around and glanced at the bed that had been broken into pieces, and prepared to ask the outer disciples of the Affairs Hall to help him get a new one.

After breaking through to the fifth level of martial artist, he had used up all the star maps he had mastered and was not going to break through any further.

"I'm going to go out for a walk and see if I can take a mission. Do you want to come with me?" Fang Xu said.

Yun Wan thought about it and shook her head: "I don't need contribution points right now. It's more important to break through my cultivation as soon as possible."

As she spoke, she handed her identity token to Fang Xu and said, "I still have 20,000 contribution points left. Take them if you want."

Fang Xu shook his head and didn't answer.

It takes 300,000 contribution points to enter the Star Palace, and he is still short of 40,000. It would be better for Yun Wan to keep her contribution points for herself.

"Then you can practice here. I'll go to the affairs hall to take a look."

After leaving the courtyard, he first went to the Law Enforcement Hall to pay a visit to Chu Rendi.

After the master and disciple chatted for a while, Fang Xu came to the affairs hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Huang Qingzhou chatting enthusiastically with a petite female disciple at the front desk.

Fang Xu didn't want to disturb him, but Huang Qingzhou saw him and immediately greeted him: "Junior Brother Fang!"

Fang Xu walked over, took a look at the female disciple, and found that he did not recognize her.

"Let me introduce you to Fang Xu from the Law Enforcement Hall."

"The Rookie of the Last Year."

"Fang Xu, this is Ji Zhi, the new disciple this year."

"Hello, Senior Brother Fang!" Ji Zhi greeted him generously.

Fang Xu smiled and nodded, then said, "Junior Sister Ji, I need your help with something."

Ji Zhi nodded quickly: "Brother Fang, please speak."

Fang Xu said, "The bed in my courtyard is broken. Please help me post a task and find a disciple to get me a new one."

After he finished speaking, Ji Zhi wrote it down.

Running errands and doing miscellaneous tasks like this are exactly what the outer disciples need to deal with on a daily basis.

“No problem, it will be released later.”

"Senior Brother Huang, Senior Brother Fang, you guys chat first, I'll be busy." Ji Zhi left tactfully.

Fang Xu pulled Huang Qingzhou to the desk nearby and sat down.

"Brother Huang, during the time I was in a coma, did anything happen in the Ascension Society?"

Huang Qingzhou pursed his lips and thought for a while before saying, "Something happened."

"In the first year of your coma, a disciple of Deacon Jiang Dengxiantai passed the assessment of core disciples and went to the Immortal Island."

Jiang Lu’s disciple?
Fang Xu asked curiously, "Do I know him?"

Huang Qingzhou smiled faintly and shook his head: "Don't mention you, I haven't even seen that senior brother very often."

"I just heard that the senior brother has been in the Ascension Sect for decades, but he has been living in seclusion and rarely goes out to carry out missions. During the day, he chops wood and grows vegetables in the back mountain of Dengxiantai, and at night he goes to Dengxiantai to practice."

"Over the years, not to mention us disciples from other halls, even the disciples who have ascended to the Immortal Stage have almost forgotten his existence."

Fang Xu nodded.

Such people are likely to be late bloomers. They are usually unknown and concentrate on doing their own things.

Once it rises, it will be like a dragon flying through the sky!

"There is one more thing. I heard from Master that the Fairy Island seems to have encountered trouble. Twenty disciples who have reached the Martial Honor Realm were temporarily transferred from our Yu Country branch to follow that senior brother to the Fairy Island."

"Do you know the mountain king in Xinggong?" Huang Qingzhou whispered.

Fang Xu nodded. He had been to the Star Palace and knew the mysterious mountain king that guarded it.

"I heard that Shanjun has also returned to the Fairy Island." Huang Qingzhou's face was a little solemn when he mentioned this: "Shanjun is the foundation of the Yu Kingdom branch. It is said that his strength is stronger than the leader."

"I once heard from Master that Shanjun is very likely to be a strong man who can take that step."

"Yuanwu?" Fang Xu said in surprise.

Huang Qingzhou nodded: "Think about it, Shanjun is the foundation of the Yu Kingdom branch. He has been transferred back to the Fairy Island. I guess the troubles encountered by the Fairy Island will not be small."

Fang Xu did not answer.

He roughly guessed that the trouble encountered by the fairy island should be related to the ascension order that Yushan Tianyi had on him.

Gu Qiu said that the Ascension Order has the function of guiding the location of the fairy island.

But Yushan Tianyi's ascension order was taken away by the people of Yanshen Sect, which means that Yanshen Sect has already grasped the location of the fairy island!
But the question is, is the Yanshen Sect really that powerful?

While supporting Qingzhou's rebellion, could it be that they still have the strength to launch an attack on the Fairy Island? ?
That is the headquarters of the Ascension Society, where there are people at the Yuanwu realm or even above the Yuanwu realm in charge.

Fang Xu was a little confused.

"Also, there has been unrest in the country of Yu in the past two years, and the number of disciples recruited has dropped sharply. I heard from Master that the leader is asking for instructions from the Fairy Island and is preparing to open up another territory."

Expanding territory?
Fang Xu asked curiously, "Aren't the countries surrounding Yu State now under the influence of the Ascension Society?"

"Where to go to open up new territories?"

Huang Qingzhou shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but if the fairy island really intends to open up new territory, I would like to go over and give it a try."

"Fang Xu, let's go together then!"

"When the time comes, I will be the deacon of Baicao Hall, and you will be the deacon of Law Enforcement Hall. You can bring Junior Sister Yun with you and let her be the deacon of Affairs Hall!"

Huang Qingzhou was looking forward to it.

Fang Xu couldn't help but hit back: "Just us? As deacons?"

"forget it."

"Okay, Senior Brother Huang, I won't chat with you anymore. I have to go take on a mission."

Fang Xu said this and slowly stood up and walked to the front desk of the office.

"Brother Fang, do you want to accept the mission?"

The female disciple at the front desk asked enthusiastically.

Fang Xu nodded: "Help me find a task with higher value."

"Brother Fang, wait a moment." The female disciple said, and began to search hurriedly.

a long time--

"Brother Fang, here are three tasks. One task rewards 30,000 contribution points, one rewards 20,000, and one rewards 50,000. Take a look."

Fang Xu took the task scroll handed over by the female disciple and opened it to take a look.

Mission of the Divine Weapon Hall: Half a year ago, a piece of meteorite fell into the desert near the Northern Wasteland.

Mission requirements: Find the meteorite and keep it for later use. Reward: 30,000 contribution points.

siderite?

This mission can be taken, but the northern desert is sparsely populated, and it is probably not easy to find the meteorite in the vast desert.

Putting this task scroll aside, Fang Xu opened the next one.

Wanfa Stone Pagoda Mission: A small relic appeared in the Liangzhou Desert in the northern border. It is said to be the place where the ancestor of a certain family in ancient times practiced seclusion. According to reliable information, that ancient family possessed many martial arts skills and even inherited magical powers.

Mission requirements: Find and wait for the magical inheritance to get 50,000 contribution points, and other martial arts depend on their value.

The Northern Desolate Province again?

Is there any inheritance of magical powers?
Fang Xu became somewhat interested in this task.

Next he opened the third mission scroll.

When Fang Xu saw the contents on the scroll, he was stunned for a moment.

This mission...I must accept it!
