Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 164: The Old Ape Breaks Through and Returns to Tilan Mountain
After returning to his residence in the Law Enforcement Hall from the Star Palace, Fang Xu went into seclusion again.

This time, he has three star maps, which are enough for him to break through.

I just don't know if the Xuanshui Soul can support itself to open the ninth stone door of the acupoint.

If not, you have to find another way.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, his consciousness entered the state of introspection. Fang Xu immediately used the soul of Xuanshui to forcibly open the seventh stone door.

A terrifying golden flame emerged from behind the stone gate, instantly submerging the entire acupoint space!

Under the scorching heat of this golden flame, Fang Xu felt that his consciousness was about to melt!

This was the first time he felt the threat of death. No matter how he resisted, those golden flames were like waves, burning towards his consciousness one after another!

Golden thunder appears!

However, these golden flames seemed extremely fierce. They defied the golden thunder and burned towards Fang Xu's consciousness fearlessly.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and their consciousnesses were gradually becoming confused under the baking of the golden flames.

But under the current circumstances, Fang Xu himself had no other choice but to hope that the golden thunder could be more powerful and help him block this horrific flame.

Time passed by little by little, and Fang Xu didn't know how much time had passed.

The confrontation between thunder and fire finally got better. The golden thunder seized an opportunity and took the initiative to attack. After the intersection of thunder and fire, half of the acupoint space was finally taken back.

After occupying half of the acupoint space, the golden thunder seemed to have gotten enough breathing space. Another fierce attack finally forced the golden flame to the stone gate!

Fang Xu, who survived the disaster, looked at the blazing golden flames, anger rising in his heart. He immediately used his magical power, the Three Transformations of the Demon Ape, and with the help of the Black Water Soul, the towering Demon Ape behind him turned into a physical entity!
The demon ape made of black water held a long stick and hit the burning stone gate with it!
Noisy!
Noisy!
……

The collision of the black water and the golden flame instantly filled the entire acupoint space with a large amount of water mist!
The golden thunder also took this opportunity to condense a thick electric light and blasted towards the stone gate!

The thunder broke through the flames and directly hit the body of the stone gate!

The stubborn stone gate was directly shattered, forming tiny starlights that dissipated in the space of the acupoint!
A massive amount of primordial energy surged out, directly lighting up the giant sword star map!
The clear sound of sword chanting sounded in Fang Xu's body. At this moment, Fang Xu suddenly understood!
Although he had never used a sword, he seemed like a swordsman who had been immersed in kendo for countless years. A large number of sword moves flashed through his mind. In just a moment, Fang Xu seemed to have mastered countless kendo martial arts.

These martial arts were constantly merging in his mind.

Just like when he created martial arts using the Five Animal Exercises in the Wanfa Stone Pagoda during the initial entrance examination, these sword techniques were integrated to form the simplest twenty-four moves.

After personally observing these twenty-four sword moves, Fang Xu suddenly wanted to give them a name.

These twenty-four sword techniques can be evolved into thousands of martial arts, just like the general principles of kendo.

It might be better to call it "Twenty-Four Sword Styles".

You may not use a sword, but you must know the sword.

With this "Twenty-Four Sword Styles", Fang Xu felt that it would be much easier for him to deal with enemies using swords in the future.

His cultivation had reached the seventh level of martial artist, and the next step was a breakthrough to the eighth level of martial artist.

For the eighth star map, he chose the Green Lantern Star Map. The Black Water Soul once again forcibly broke open the stone door of the eighth acupoint.

This time, what emerged from behind the stone gate was actually fire!

The moment he saw the flames, Fang Xu's face changed!

The golden flames before tortured him to death.

He is now afraid of fire.

Fortunately, the power of this flame was far less than the golden flame in the previous acupoint space. After the golden thunder appeared, the flame was instantly defeated by the thunder!

An ancient bronze palace lantern emerged, and Fang Xu felt that at the moment the palace lantern appeared, some subtle changes seemed to have taken place in his body, but he had no way of feeling what the changes were.

Without studying these carefully, Fang Xu prepared to make a concerted effort to completely light up the ninth star map.

However, when he used the Mysterious Water Soul to forcibly bombard the ninth stone gate, he found that everything was as he expected.

With the current strength of the Xuanshui Soul, there is no way to blast open the ninth stone door!

After waking up from his training, Fang Xu stood up with some disappointment.

The method of relying on the power of the stone gate to forcibly open the acupoints is no longer feasible. There are only two ways to break through in a short period of time.

First, improve your strength and increase your strength exponentially.

But this method requires opportunity. Only the opportunity that can change one's fate can double one's current strength.

This kind of opportunity is hard to come by.

Excluding this method, the last one is left.

Purification pool!
He had once used the Immortal Liquid of Creation to forcibly construct a star map, and now he can still use this method to construct the final star map.

It just so happens that I have some news about the purification pool.

The last time he went to the fourth level of the Blue Mountain Ruins, he felt the breath of the Immortal Liquid of Creation in the thick fog.

This proves that there is a high probability of a purification pool on the fourth floor of the Tilan Mountain ruins.

It seems that the most reliable method is to find a purification pool, use the immortal liquid of creation to forcibly open the acupoints, and complete the construction of the last star map.

Thinking of this, Fang Xu immediately prepared to tell Chu Rendi, and then immediately went to the fourth floor of the Tilan Mountain ruins.

But as soon as he opened the gate, he saw Yun Wan turning around and preparing to leave.

It was obvious that Yun Wan came to find him, but when she saw the lantern at the door, she knew that he was in seclusion and did not disturb him.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yun Wan, who was about to leave, slowly stopped and turned around. The moment she saw Fang Xu coming out, a smile flashed across Yun Wan's face.

"Breakthrough?"

Fang Xu nodded: "How are you doing recently?"

Yun Wan was silent for a while, just nodded slightly, and didn't say anything.

"I'm planning to go to the Tilan Mountain ruins. Do you want to come with me?" Fang Xu said again.

Yun Qing's death dealt her a severe blow. Fang Xu thought that this trip to the Tilan Mountain ruins would be a good opportunity for him to take her with him, just to relax.

"When do we set off?" Yun Wan asked after a moment of hesitation.

She is now a completely different person than before.

Although she was not a person with an eccentric personality in the past, Fang Xu could feel a strong sense of self-confidence and an indomitable drive from her.

But now Yun Wan is silent and has a hint of decadence, looking very uncomfortable.

He understood that all this was related to the changes in the Yun family.

Carrying a family feud, her father and brother are both dead, and all the direct descendants of the Yun family have been killed. This is a heavy blow to Yun Wan today.

The desire for revenge was now almost overwhelming her.

"No rush, wait two days."

"If you have nothing to do now, come with me."

Fang Xu spoke.

Yun Wan nodded and followed Fang Xu toward the mountain gate of the Ascension Society.

A villa at the foot of the mountain.

As Fang Xugang reached the door, he heard the old ape's hearty laughter coming from the yard.

"Ok?"

"Ape-kun has made a breakthrough!?"

He didn't expect that he came at such a coincidence.

Pushing the door open and walking into the courtyard, Lao Yuan and Lu Zhiyuan were sitting on both sides of the stone table, while Ningxiang and Tongtong were standing quietly beside them.

"Uncle Ape, Master."

Seeing the two of them, Fang Xu bowed respectfully.

"Brother Fang Xu!"

"Master!?"

Tongtong and Ningxiang happily came forward to greet Fang Xu when they saw him.

"Fang Xu is here, please sit down."

Lu Zhiyuan greeted.

Fang Xu glanced at Yun Wan beside him, but did not sit over directly.

"Master, Uncle Yuan, this is Yun Wan."

After solemnly introducing Yun Wan to the two of them, Fang Xu also introduced Yun Wan to everyone in the courtyard. His purpose was to let her try to integrate into the group so that she wouldn't feel so lonely.

"Greetings to Master Lu, and to Uncle Yuan."

Yun Wan was naturally clear about the relationship between the old ape and Fang Xu.

"Hmm..." The old ape nodded with satisfaction.

After breaking through and becoming a great demon, he now looked like a kind and amiable old man, without any trace of a warrior's aura.

"Yun Wan, come and sit down."

Pulling Yun Wan to sit in front of the stone table, Fang Xu looked at the old ape and asked, "Uncle Ape, when did you come out of seclusion?"

The old ape smiled faintly: "I came out of seclusion a few days ago."

"I was planning to ask Lu to inform you, but Lu said you were in seclusion."

Fang Xu looked around and asked curiously, "Where's Senior Sister?"

Lu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I'm going to carry out the mission."

As he spoke, his eyes turned to Yun Wan who was silent beside him.

Fang Xu was able to bring her here and solemnly introduced Yun Wan to himself and the old ape. The relationship between the two was already obvious.

Lu Zhiyuan felt a little emotional.

Once upon a time, when he was in Fenglin Town, he could see that Fang Xu was interested in his daughter.

Afterwards, after the divine servant recognized his master, Lu Zhiyuan also thought about bringing the two together.

Being well versed in the art of witchcraft, he could see that Fang Xu had great luck and would achieve great things in the future.

And more importantly, he really liked Fang Xu's character and temper.

But love between men and women cannot be forced. During this period of time, he could also see that the relationship between Fang Xu and Lu Qingluo was still lacking something.

That's it!

Let it go.

Lu Zhiyuan thought about it in his mind and didn’t pay much attention to it.

The old ape seemed to like Yun Wan very much. After looking at her for a while, he winked at Fang Xu.

Fang Xu pretended not to see it, and the old ape was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"Uncle Yuan, I'm planning to go to the Tilan Mountain ruins in the next few days. Are you interested in going back to take a look?"

Back to Blue Mountain?

A hint of excitement flashed across the old ape's face.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye since I followed Fang Xu and left Tilan Mountain.

He originally thought that when he returned, he would turn into a handful of ashes, but now he has successfully broken through the big monster.

He hadn't seen the little guys in his tribe for three years, and he really wanted to go back and see them.

"When do we set off?" asked the old ape.

"Tomorrow?" Fang Xu looked at Yun Wan inquiringly.

Yun Wan nodded slightly, she didn't care. Fang Xu said tomorrow, so tomorrow was the day.

"Sir, Ningxiang wants to go too."

"Brother Fang Xu, Tongtong wants to go too!"

Upon hearing that Fang Xu was going to mention the Blue Mountain ruins, Ningxiang and Tongtong could no longer sit still and both looked at Fang Xu eagerly.

"Nonsense, I'm not going out for fun."

"The ruins are dangerous. If anything happens to you two after you go there..."

"It doesn't matter. If they want to go, let them follow." The old ape said with a confident smile.

After breaking through the big demon, his strength is comparable to that of a human Yuanwu realm master. He is still confident that he can just protect Tongtong and Ningxiang.

Seeing this, Fang Xu could only nod helplessly.

"Thank you, Uncle Ape!"

The two girls looked at the old ape happily and bowed.

Ningxiang even spoke directly: "Master, Uncle Yuan, it's noon, Ningxiang, shall we go to the city to buy some wine and food?"

Fang Xu nodded, took out some money from his arms and handed it to Ningxiang.

"Sister Ningxiang, I'll go with you!"

Tongtong seemed to enjoy the hustle and bustle and directly pulled Ningxiang out.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xu smiled and shook his head. He didn't expect Tongtong and Ningxiang to be so close.

Yun Wan seemed to be infected by this heartwarming scene, and the sadness on her face faded a little.

"Miss Yun..."

"Master Lu, you are Fang Xu's master, you can just call Wan'er by her name."

Lu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "I have heard about the affairs of the Huangzhou Yun family. I believe you also know something about my identity."

"What I want to tell you is that the descendants of my Muyun Nation have started a rebellion on the Muyun Grassland. If you really want revenge, you can discuss it with Nan Wu later."

After hearing this, Yun Wan shook her head slightly: "Wan'er doesn't want to use other people to avenge the Yun family."

Lu Zhiyuan was a little disappointed after hearing this. He had originally wanted to find an ally for the Muyun Kingdom, but Yun Wan seemed to have her own ideas. In this case, this matter had to be abandoned.

"Hehe... let's not talk about this today."

The old ape spoke up to break the awkward situation, and looked directly at Fang Xu and said, "Fang boy, you have to accompany me for a drink today!"

Ever since following Fang Xu out from the depths of Tilan Mountain, the old ape had always discovered that Fang Xu was unwilling to drink with him.

He was really depressed for a long time because of this matter and couldn't understand it at all.

"Uncle Yuan, I have my own reasons for not drinking with you." Fang Xu said helplessly after hearing this.

Although his system had undergone some changes, he still didn't dare to gamble.

On the friend panel, some strange changes seem to have occurred since the green health bar appeared last time.

Take Li Xun, who is now on the friend list.

When he met Li Xun in Canghai City before, his health was only 20% left. But after the two talked and revealed their true feelings to each other, Fang Xu found that the green health bar under Li Xun's name soared directly to 80%.

After that, Li Xun's health value did not decrease anymore. After such a long time, it increased to 40%.

What Fang Xu can be sure of is that Li Xun no longer has the protection of the national destiny of the Yu Kingdom.

In this case, the health points can still increase, which should be related to the green health bar.

But even so, he couldn't gamble with the lives of his loved ones.

Besides, there are only ten slots in the friends list.

Now Li Xun has occupied one, and the rest are occupied by the patriarchs of major families and leaders of forces. He finally managed to survive the deaths of Wang Xiao and Feng Dong, leaving two places vacant, and he doesn't want to waste them.

After all, your friend list is simply a book of life and death, and there is no benefit in being on it.

"You boy!"

Seeing Fang Xu showing this expression, the old ape widened his eyes in anger.

"Don't be angry, Senior Yuan." Lu Zhiyuan tried to smooth things over and said, "If he doesn't want to drink with you, I and Yun Wan will drink with you."

The old ape glared at Fang Xu angrily without saying anything.

Ningxiang and Tongtong quickly bought the wine and food, and they sat together and ate happily.

"Sir, Ningxiang just heard a piece of news in the city."

During the meal, Ningxiang suddenly spoke.

Fang Xu was curious: "What news?"

Ningxiang frowned slightly and said, "It seems that the royal family is planning to hold an autumn sacrifice ceremony to pray to the heavens..."

Autumn sacrifice to pray to heaven?

Fang Xu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Zhiyuan and asked, "Master, what is this?"

Lu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "The autumn sacrifice is also one of the many sacrifices. Ancient people used it to sacrifice to the God of Grains, thank the gods for their protection, and pray for a good harvest next year."

Fang Xu nodded slightly, but then said suspiciously: "That's not right."

"It is said that after Emperor Yu Li Cangwu ascended the throne, he issued a strict order prohibiting the common people from believing in gods."

"The entire Yu Kingdom is now only allowed to believe in him."

"Why do you suddenly want to personally preside over this autumn festival?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhiyuan also felt a little strange.

He knew a lot about Li Cangwu. Generally speaking, he was a very conceited, domineering, and scheming person.

The timing of this autumn festival was indeed a bit strange.

"Master, I'll have someone check it out later."

The State of Yu is currently in the midst of civil strife, but Li Cangwu is not in a hurry at all and is still thinking about organizing the Autumn Sacrifice. The strangeness of this is self-evident.

As night fell, Fang Xu sat with Yun Wan in the villa.

Under the starry sky, Yun Wan raised her head and looked at the sky quietly.

A breeze blew, and a faint fragrance floated from her body and entered Fang Xu's nose.

Smelling this aroma, he suddenly thought of the night in Fenglin Town when Yun Wan decided to go to the Blue Mountain ruins.

"What are you thinking about?" Yun Wan turned her head and saw Fang Xu staring at her in a daze. Her pretty face couldn't help but blush and she said in a soft voice.

Fang Xu was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and smiled faintly: "I was thinking about the first time we met."

Just started meeting?
Yun Wan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head and slowly lowered it.

When they first met, she was still the high and mighty Princess of the Yun family. Now, only three years have passed, and the family that has been passed down for thousands of years no longer exists.

"What did I look like to you at that time?"

Yun Wan suddenly asked.

Fang Xu thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It's different from now."

"Hmm?" Yun Wan looked at him in confusion and asked, "What's different?"

Fang Xu did not answer.

"Yun Wan, if you had the power, would you destroy the entire Yu Kingdom royal family?"

The seeds of hatred have been planted in Yun Wan's heart. Fang Xu understands that Yun Wan will definitely take revenge.

The problem is that he doesn't know how extreme Yun Wan's actions will be at that time.

"Xue Futu must die, and Li Cangwu as well."

Yun Wan thought for a moment and then spoke.

Xue Futu was the direct murderer of his father, and the mastermind behind all this must be Li Cangwu without a doubt.

"And the Xing family..."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Yun Wan's eyes!
In the initial action against the Yun family, the Xing family was the most active.

After the Yun family was destroyed, the Xing family directly occupied Huangzhou.

That is the place that the Yun family has run for thousands of years.

Fang Xu nodded.

It seems that Yun Wan has not been blinded by hatred.

"Let me share the revenge with you." After thinking for a long time, Fang Xu suddenly spoke.

Yun Wan was stunned when she heard this. She was about to say something when Fang Xu spoke again: "You should know that basically all the major forces in Yu State have a grudge against me."

Yun Wan nodded and said, "But the royal family..."

The royal family did not participate in the hunt for Fang Xu.

Moreover, Li Cangwu's strength is too strong. It is rumored that he is about to break through to the realm of Martial Honor.

"Among the major families, except for the rebellious Lu family and the Ren family of Yuzhou who have not clearly pledged their allegiance to the royal family, the rest of the families have already pledged their allegiance to the royal family."

"Under such circumstances, do you think Li Cangwu will just sit back and watch me seek revenge on them?"

Fang Xu spoke calmly.

"But..." Yun Wan turned her head and stared at Fang Xu's face.

"Hmm?" Fang Xu looked at her.

Meeting his gaze, Yun Wan said softly, "I don't want to see you take risks."

"Then let you fight it alone?" Fang Xu said with a smile.

Their eyes met, and at this moment, their hearts became closer.

Fang Xu slowly reached out his hand and held Yun Wan's fragile body in his arms.

Feeling the delicate body in his arms stiffen slightly, and then relax a little, and leaning her head on his shoulder, Fang Xu rubbed her head with his face and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I still like the confident and noble you before."

Yun Wan nodded slightly.

……

The next morning, a group of five people left the villa at the foot of the mountain and headed towards Tilan Mountain.

Along the way, Tongtong and Ningxiang chattered non-stop, and from time to time they would pull Yunwan aside to talk about some topics that were of interest to women.

In front of the two of them, Yun Wan finally shed the image of a warrior and returned to being what a young woman should be.

Fang Xu sat outside the carriage with the old ape.

"Uncle Yuan, how does it feel to break through the realm of great demon?" Fang Xu asked.

The big demon was at the same level as humans in the Yuanwu realm. This was the first time he had seen a true Yuanwu realm expert, so he couldn't help but feel curious.

"Feeling..." The old ape hesitated for a moment, turned his head and looked at Fang Xu seriously, "Fear."

fear!?
Fang Xu was a little puzzled and asked: "Why?"

The old ape shook his head and said, "I can't really explain it. I just suddenly felt very insignificant. This world is too mysterious."

"You will feel this feeling when you break through to the Yuanwu realm."

"After your soul can communicate with heaven and earth, you will find that you were just a frog in a well."

Fang Xu nodded, not quite understanding.

This may be because we are at different altitudes and have different perceptions of the world.

"But you don't have to worry too much. At least in this land today, there are few people that I can't deal with."

"Fang boy, as long as I'm here, you won't be in such a mess like being chased by others again." A strong sense of confidence emerged from the old ape.

The two talked about some other things and soon arrived at Maple Forest Town.

After arranging Ningxiang, Tongtong and the old ape in the small courtyard in Fenglin Town, Fang Xu went directly to the Tilan Mountain ruins with Yun Wan.

They had already been to the fourth floor of the ruins once. Apart from the strange fish-faced monster with a human body, there was almost no other danger, so there was no need to trouble the old ape to go with them.

The two arrived at the entrance of the ruins, passed through the first level of the ruins, and then came to the second level.

"Fang Xu, are the broken horns still in the ruins?" Yun Wan suddenly asked.

Back then on the second level of the ruins, Broken Horn and its tribesmen left a deep impression on Yun Wan.

"It should still be there." When mentioning Duan Jiao, Fang Xu suddenly remembered that there was more than one jar of Creation Liquid in his Qiankun bag. This time they were going to the fourth floor to find a new purification pool, and some of this Creation Liquid could be given to Duan Jiao.

After all, if it weren't for the help of the human-goddess clan, he would never have been able to escape from the ruins alive.

The two searched the second floor of the ruins and finally found a Pitong humanoid in a secret corridor.

When this ordinary Xiao saw someone, he was planning to turn around and run away.

But suddenly it realized that the person coming was Fang Xu. The human goblin froze in place, then ran over excitedly, stretching out its huge head and rubbing towards Fang Xu.

"Where is the broken horn?"

Fang Xu spoke, and the human-goddess in front of him hurriedly pointed to the corridor in front of them, and then took him and Yun Wan to the place where the human-goddess tribe was hiding.

Looking at the narrow corridor in front of him filled with goblins of all sizes, and filled with a lot of strange smells, Fang Xu frowned.

"Roar!"

Broken Horn squeezed out from the crowd of Xiaos, and when he saw Fang Xu, he kept gesturing.

Fang Xu didn't understand what it wanted to say, and immediately took out the remaining half jar of Creation Immortal Liquid from his Qiankun bag.

The moment the mud seal was opened, all the goblins in the entire tunnel went crazy!

The immortal liquid of creation is a fatal temptation to ferocious beasts.

Some ordinary human goblins had lost their minds due to the smell of the Creation Liquid and were slowly approaching Fang Xu, trying to grab it.

Roar!
Fortunately, Duanjiao stopped it in time.

Fang Xu pointed to the Creation Elixir in front of him and said, "This thing should be able to open your mind and turn you into a monster."

"Drink as you like. If you can't finish it, you can share it with other tribesmen."

Upon hearing this, Duanjiao gestured excitedly.

Fang Xu smiled and said, "Drink it quickly. After drinking it, you will be able to speak."

It is still difficult to communicate between different species using sign language.

Duanjiao immediately picked up the jar of wine in front of him and gulped down a few mouthfuls of the Immortal Liquid of Creation.

Seeing this scene, the other Xiaos around were drooling.

After drinking a small half of the immortal liquid of creation in the jar, Duanjiao seemed to feel that it was enough, so he handed the rest to the two mutated human goblins behind him.

The two human goblins fought to drink up the remaining immortal liquid of creation, and even broke the jar of wine into pieces and ate it up.

"Okay, you guys digest it first. I'm going to go to the fourth floor."

"I hope that after you come back, you can successfully awaken your wisdom."

After bidding farewell to the Man-Goddess clan, Fang Xu left the second floor, passed through the third floor, and arrived at the entrance of the fourth floor ruins.

At this time, a large number of warriors gathered at the entrance to the fourth floor of the ruins.

These warriors all wanted to enter the fourth floor, but they couldn't find a way to deal with the horrific monsters in the first half of the fourth floor. So they all blocked the entrance of the cave and waited to see if anyone could find a solution.

"Young Master Fang!"

Fang Xu was about to enter the ruins when a warrior in the crowd suddenly called out to him.

"Young Master Fang, I am Xing Yongyuan, a descendant of the Xing family."

Xing family?
Hearing his self-introduction, Yun Wan, who was beside Fang Xu, had a flash of murderous intent in her eyes.

"Young Master Fang, I often hear the master mention you."

Hearing this, Fang Xu smiled faintly: "Why did your family master mention me?"

Xing Yongyuan hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Fang, have you forgotten that you still own a share of the blood food shop in Fenglin Town?"

"You haven't visited me for so many years, so the owner of the family has been talking about it. I plan to take some time to visit you and give you the profit."

Fang Xu smiled when he heard that.

He had indeed forgotten about the blood food shop. To be exact, worldly money was of little use to him nowadays.

After some tinkering, maybe he could get some contribution points, but for him now, something is better than nothing.

"Just ask your family master to send someone to deliver the things to the villa at the foot of Huayang Mountain."

He doesn't care about money, but that's what he deserves, and there's no reason for him to refuse it.

"I understand. I will tell the head of the family right away!" Xing Yongyuan bowed respectfully.

Fang Xu ignored him and prepared to continue walking inside.

"Young Master Fang, please wait a moment!" But at this time Xing Yongyuan called him again.

Fang Xu frowned slightly and asked, "Anything else?"

Xing Yongyuan said with a flattering look on his face: "I heard that Young Master Fang had entered the fourth floor with the people from the Ascension Society some time ago. I have an unwelcome request."

"You want me to take you in?" Fang Xu said with a smile.

Xing Yongyuan was slightly stunned, a hint of joy flashed across his face, but then he thought that this request was a bit excessive, and quickly said: "That's not the case, I just want to ask Young Master Fang about the situation inside."

It has been more than two years since the entrance to the fourth floor was discovered, but so far, except for Fang Xu and his group, no one has been able to go deeper than a hundred meters. Everyone is now very curious about what is inside the fourth floor.

"Young Master Fang, our Xing family is willing to pay for it."

Afraid that Fang Xu would refuse, Xing Yongyuan spoke quickly.

Originally, the Xing family was just a third-rate force. After Xing Rong became the head of the family, he recruited some martial arts masters from somewhere and seized the opportunity in the Battle of Huangzhou to become the current lord of Huangzhou.

Everyone in the Xing family knows that compared with those old first-class forces, the Xing family's foundation is still far behind.

The Tilan Mountain ruins contain countless opportunities, which is undoubtedly a chance to quickly accumulate resources!

However, everything on the first three floors had been looted, and now the fourth floor was extremely dangerous.

The Xing family really wants to enter the fourth level.

As the only group of people who emerged alive from the fourth floor, Fang Xu became their target.

Xing Rong wanted to take advantage of her collaboration with Fang Xu to get closer to him and try to get some secrets about the fourth floor from him.

Only then did they arrange people to watch outside the mountain gate of the Ascension Association.

As soon as Fang Xu, Lao Yuan and others came out of the Ascension Meeting, the news reached Huangzhou.

"purchase?"

Fang Xu shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to sell it to you. The fourth floor is so dangerous that you can't get in even if you get a detailed map."

The most dangerous things on the fourth floor of the ruins are the monsters with fish faces and human bodies; the rest are nothing.

In order to pass through the foggy area where those fish-faced human-bodied monsters appear, one must have the power of the soul at least above the sixth level of the Ascension Platform, or possess a rare treasure that can restrain those monsters.

"Young Master Fang, please tell me what's inside. We, the Xing family, will find a way to solve the rest."

Xing Yongyuan seemed not to believe what he said and was determined to get the map of the fourth floor.

Fang Xu glanced at Yun Wan beside him, his mind slightly moved, and he sighed: "Since you insist, then you can't blame me for what happens next."

Upon seeing this, Xing Yongyuan quickly fetched paper and pen, and asked a group of warriors to surround the area, waiting for Fang Xu to draw the map.

Fang Xu drew a rough sketch based on his memory, and then added that anyone with weaker spiritual power would die if they went in!
"All right!"

After handing the map to Xing Yongyuan, Fang Xu turned around and prepared to leave.

"Young Master Fang, the price of this map..."

"Give it to yourselves, and I'll send the things to the other courtyard later."

Without turning around, he took Yun Wan directly into the fourth floor.

The thick white mist appeared again. Fang Xu took a light sniff and confirmed that there was indeed the scent of the Immortal Liquid of Creation in the mist.

"Fang Xu, what are we looking for this time?"

"Are you going to the fifth floor?"

Fang Xu shook his head and said, "The fourth floor is very large. The last time I came here with Elder Wuling, we didn't actually explore much."

"This time, I came here mainly to find one thing."

Yun Wan was curious: "Is it important?"

Fang Xu nodded and said, "It involves whether I can break through to the Martial Master level in a short period of time."

The two walked forward slowly.

Although he had the means to intimidate the fish-faced monster with a human body, Fang Xu still did not dare to take it lightly.

After all, these monsters are too weird. If their methods are limited, then the two of them will be in a dead end.

Closing his eyes slightly and observing his surroundings with the power of his soul, Fang Xu suddenly discovered that in the thick fog all around him, one enchanting figure after another was looming in the fog.

These monsters seemed to recognize Fang Xu and just wandered around the periphery, not daring to approach them.

The two continued to move forward, and Fang Xu kept sniffing the scent of the Immortal Liquid of Creation in the thick fog, looking for the direction where the purification pool might exist.

"What are you smelling?" Looking at Fang Xu sniffing, Yun Wan suddenly found it a little funny and couldn't help asking.

Fang Xu didn't say anything. He took out the last jar of green Creation Immortal Liquid from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Yun Wan, saying, "Take a sip."

Yun Wan didn't doubt it, she took it, opened it and took a sip.

"Smell it." Fang Xu said again.

Yun Wan came closer and smelled it.

Fang Xu put the wine jar into his Qiankun bag.

“Now you know what I’m smelling?”

Having drunk the Immortal Liquid of Creation and becoming familiar with its taste, Yun Wan immediately sensed the faint taste of the Immortal Liquid of Creation in the thick fog.

The immortal liquid of creation in the abdomen turned into the purest energy and spread throughout the limbs and bones.

Yun Wan could clearly feel that the energy of the Creation Liquid she just took was enough to equal the energy of several months of hard practice.

The most important thing was that she could feel that the elixir of creation seemed to contain some kind of strange energy, which caused subtle changes in her body.

"Fang Xu, what on earth is this!?"

Before, when Fang Xu gave this thing to Duan Jiao and the others to drink, Yun Wan thought that Fang Xu took out some kind of wine.

"The Immortal Liquid of Creation is a kind of energy created by heaven and earth." Fang Xu said.

Hearing this, Yun Wan's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance.

This energy is extremely pure. If there is enough immortal liquid of creation, he may have the opportunity to improve his cultivation in a short period of time.

"Okay, be careful. I found something wrong with the monsters around here."

Through his spiritual perception, Fang Xu discovered that there were more and more fish-faced monsters with human bodies around him.

And it is possible that because they are getting closer and closer to the purification pool, the monsters are becoming stronger and stronger. Many monsters have overcome their inner fears and are slowly approaching the two of them.

The two continued to move forward, and they were surrounded by densely packed monsters.

Seeing that something bad would happen if he continued, Fang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and directly used the power of his soul to sacrifice the bronze cauldron!
call!
As soon as the bronze cauldron appeared, its terrifying suction force directly sucked in the surrounding fog and the monsters!

"Ugh!"

"Giggle!"

……

The monster's screams are looming!

Fang Xu discovered that under the suction of the bronze cauldron, some ordinary monsters found it difficult to resist and were directly sucked in by the cauldron.

But some monsters actually blocked the suction of the cauldron and struggled to move away from them.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xu's expression changed slightly.

As he had guessed, these monsters were not all the same, some were strong and some were weak.

As the two continue to move forward, will they encounter a stronger being?
Thinking of this, he looked at Yun Wan and reached out to grasp her soft hand.

Yun Wan's pretty face blushed, but she didn't refuse, and the two continued to move forward.

With the intimidation just now, the monsters didn't dare to get too close this time, but just surrounded from a distance.

"Fang Xu, there are some houses over there." Through the fog, Yun Wan suddenly discovered some shadowy buildings appearing on the left side of the two of them.

These buildings were not ones they had searched before, so there should be a lot of good things in them.

There was no need to rush to find the purification pool, so Fang Xu took her hand and walked towards the buildings.

The monsters with fish faces and human bodies around didn't seem to care much about Fang Xu and his team approaching the building complex.

Seeing that they changed direction, many monsters quietly disappeared into the fog.

After the two arrived in the middle of these buildings, they did not separate for safety reasons.

"These buildings don't seem to be damaged." Looking at the intact buildings in front of her, a hint of joy flashed across Yun Wan's face.

The fact that the building has never been damaged means that all the good stuff inside should still be there.

"Let's take a look over here." Fang Xu chose a building closest to him and walked over.

The door was opened and there was not much dust.

Judging from the furnishings in the house, it seems that a female monk had lived here before.

There were still a few ordinary women's clothes hanging on the screen in the room, but due to the passage of time, most of these clothes had decayed and turned into ashes with the slightest touch.

The furniture and other things in the house seem to be made of rare materials and treasures, and they can be preserved intact despite the ravages of time.

"Yun Wan, look at this." In front of the desk, Fang Xu suddenly found an exquisite wooden box placed next to the bronze mirror. Inside the wooden box lay a hairpin that looked like it was made of polished jade.

Although this hairpin is made of jade, its shape is like a delicate little sword and it emits a faint fluorescence.

Taking the jade hairpin out of the wooden box, Fang Xu inserted it directly into Yun Wan's bun.

"Does it look good?"

Yun Wan asked shyly.

Fang Xu nodded: "Very beautiful."

After saying this, he slowly stretched out his hand and stroked Yun Wan's pretty face.

"Um……"

Yun Wan hummed softly, slowly closed her eyes, stood on tiptoes and kissed Fang Xu.

The two of them went from gentle to fierce, tearing each other's clothes...

hum!
At this moment, the bronze cauldron in Fang Xu's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly made a slight humming sound!

next moment!
Fang Xu's originally burning eyes suddenly regained clarity. Looking at Yun Wan, who was about to be stripped naked by him, she seemed like a different person and was tearing his clothes off. Fang Xu resisted the urge and raised his hand to summon the bronze tripod!
Clang!
A huge bronze tripod fell from the sky, covering the two of them!

"what!"

Suddenly, a green smoke emerged from Yun Wan's head!
The next moment, Yun Wan stopped moving!
After her eyes regained clarity, she looked at herself and Fang Xu in confusion, took two steps back in shame, and then hurriedly put on her clothes.

"That...I...we..."

Yun Wan was talking incoherently, but Fang Xu said with a serious expression, "I almost got into trouble."

The reason why such a change happened to the two of them was probably because of that jade hairpin.

The moment the bronze cauldron appeared, Fang Xu clearly saw that something attached to the jade hairpin was killed by the cauldron and turned into a wisp of green smoke.

Yun Wan straightened her clothes, her pretty face was as ripe as an apple, and she didn't dare to look up at Fang Xu.

"your clothes……"

Yun Wan secretly glanced at the shirtless Fang Xu and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

Fang Xu looked down, then hurriedly put his clothes in order.

"Is it because of this hairpin?" Yun Wan frowned.

Just now, when Fang Xu put the hairpin on her, she seemed to feel a strange power surging into her body.

Then this power seemed to arouse the most primitive desire in her heart, making her do what she just did.

"It should be. We should be more careful next time."

If the bronze tripod had not given a timely warning, Fang Xu had no idea what would be waiting for the two of them.

He felt that the thing attached to the jade hairpin was definitely not as simple as wanting to watch him and Yun Wan have sex.

The two searched the house for a while and didn't find anything else, so they turned around and went to the next room.

"This looks like an armory!"

Looking at the dazzling array of weapons in front of her, Yun Wan spoke.

Fang Xu picked up a long sword and looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said, "After years of erosion, the inscriptions on these treasures have basically been erased. If we take them back, they will only be handed over to the Divine Weapon Hall as waste."

Ignoring these treasures, the two searched carefully in the house.

Rumble!
Rumble!
Just as Fang Xu was knocking on the wall in front of him, a rumbling sound suddenly came from behind him.

It turned out that Yun Wan found a secret mechanism.

"There is a secret room?" Fang Xu asked in surprise as he watched the wall crack and reveal a dark entrance.

The two walked carefully to the entrance.

puff!
puff!
The two wall lamps in the secret room suddenly lit up automatically, and the next moment, everything in the secret room appeared in front of the two people.

It’s still a weapon!
But the weapons here are obviously not comparable to those ordinary treasures outside.

Although every weapon in the secret room looks ordinary, most of them are relatively primitive weapons.

But Fang Xu could feel that there was an extremely terrifying power contained within these weapons.

"There is actually a bone knife here..."

Noticing an ordinary bone knife on the shelf on the left, Yun Wan curiously reached out to pick it up and take a look.

call out!
However, the bone knife suddenly emitted a tiny blade light on its own and almost cut Yun Wan's hand.

"Be careful."

Fang Xu rushed over and took a look at the bone knife.

It is said to be made of bone, but its surface is delicate and smooth, looking like jade.

He slowly reached out and grabbed the bone knife in his hand. Feeling the resistance coming from the bone knife, Fang Xu did not hesitate at all and directly put it into the acupoint space.

Now he has reached the eighth level of martial artist, with seventy-two acupoints lit up by the star map, and more than ten scattered acupoints that are not included in the star map.

Among these acupoints, only half of them now contain life instruments.

This bone knife seems to have a bad temper, but the thunder in the acupoint space can cure all kinds of disobedience. After putting the bone knife into the acupoint space, golden thunder appears immediately.

Dozens of thunders came down and struck it flat on its back.

The same went for all the weapons that followed, which were collected by Fang Xu one by one into the acupoint space.

Only one of the swords looked like it was made of ice, and Fang Xu gave it to Yun Wan.

Holding the long sword in his hand, the terrifying coldness actually tried to freeze his palm.

However, a purple-black flame suddenly appeared in Fang Xu's hand, burning the ice sword and causing it to tremble continuously.

Feeling the sense of submission coming from the sword, Fang Xu slowly pulled it out.

"Qiu Chi?"

There were two extremely complicated characters engraved on the sword, but Fang Xu felt the spiritual fluctuations coming from the Qiu Chi sword and knew that these two characters meant Qiu Chi.

"Is this the name of this sword?" Yun Wan asked.

Fang Xu nodded: "This sword is much better than the one in your hand."

Yun Wan took the Qiu Chi sword, waved it a little, and liked it very much.

"Let's go."

After the two men searched the secret room and looted everything, they left.

In the next few secret rooms, the two obtained some materials for refining weapons, magical instruments, some ancient bamboo slips, jade, and so on.

Since he didn't know much about these things, Fang Xu didn't know their specific uses, so he stuffed them all into his Qiankun bag and planned to study them carefully after he got out.

“This is the only one left.”

In front of the last building in the complex that looked like a palace, Yun Wan looked up and spoke.

This building looks more imposing than the surrounding houses.

And according to the architectural layout, the surrounding houses and this building form a shape of a moon surrounded by stars.

According to this layout, the house in front of us, which looks like a palace, should have been the one with the highest status at that time.

"Let's go, I hope we can get something good!"

Fang Xu rubbed his hands excitedly, and the two of them walked in.

The door of the hall was not closed. After the two walked in, the first thing that caught their eyes was a huge statue!

"Is this Qi Can?" Yun Wan asked, looking at the huge statue.

Fang Xu shook his head. He had seen Qi Cang’s incarnation in the vast black space. Although the statue in front of him was somewhat similar to Qi Cang, it was definitely not Qi Cang.

There are twelve coiled dragon pillars on each side of the hall, and in front of each dragon pillar are two armchairs and a small square table.

Fang Xu noticed that there were tea cups on the table, and some of the tea cup lids were placed aside.

The tea in the teacup has dried up, leaving only some tea leaves.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but imagine the scene at that time.

Some of the tribe's leaders were discussing things in the hall. The tribe encountered an emergency, and these leaders did not care about anything else and left the hall in a hurry.

After that, he never came back.

"Ugh!"

Many signs on the fourth floor of the ruins indicate that the humans who lived here before were quite powerful.

And they seem to believe in Qi Zu, the True Emperor of Chen Xing among the Seven Stars.

But such a powerful ethnic group seemed to be destroyed in an instant.

"Let's look around and see if there's anything useful." Putting aside his emotions, Fang Xu took Yun Wan to search in the hall.

There was nothing worth noting in the hall. After searching for a while, the two came to the huge statue.

"There are two tokens on it."

Yun Wan had sharp eyes and saw two ancient tokens placed on the desk in front of the statue.

Fang Xu walked over, picked up the token and looked at it.

The token is quite heavy, but it doesn't look like it's made of metal, and it's unknown what material it's made of.

The entire body is covered with complex patterns, an unknown beast is carved on the front, and two strange characters are written on the back.

After studying it for a while, Fang Xu still didn't understand the function of the tokens, so he threw them directly into the Qiankun bag.

Apart from this, there was nothing else on the desk.

The two walked around the statue and came to the room behind it.

All you see are densely packed bookshelves, on which are placed a large number of bamboo slips and some white jade.

Fang Xu picked up a scroll of bamboo slips and flipped through it for a few times, but he couldn't understand the contents, so he simply put all the bamboo slips and jade stones into the Qiankun bag.

After searching for a while and making sure that nothing was missed, the two left and continued to look for the purification pool.

The monsters in the fog seemed to be born specifically to protect the purification pool. Fang Xu and his companions did not need to look for where the purification pool was. They just needed to move in the direction where the monsters gathered.

There were more and more monsters in front of him. Through his spiritual perception, Fang Xu discovered another one that was different from the other fish-faced monsters.

It was a strange creature that looked like both a crocodile and a lizard.

Unlike the fish-faced monster, this strange creature has a physical body. Its huge body slowly crawled towards Fang Xu and the others, emitting a violent aura.

Seeing this, the two men took out their weapons.

However, before they could take any action, the monsters with fish faces and human bodies around them took the lead in launching an attack!
The target of the attack was obviously that strange creature!
