Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 174 Landing on the Fairy Island, the second level of Taoism foundation is completed!

At this moment, Fang Xu only felt that his soul was slightly shaken. It was as if something had been controlling his thoughts in a gentle way before, but now that thing had left.

"Fang Xu..."

In his arms, Gu Qiu struggled a bit and made a coquettish sound.

"Ok?"

Fang Xu came back to his senses and suddenly found that Gu Qiu was held tightly in his arms. He immediately let go of his arms with some embarrassment.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Gu Qiu's face was still red, and she smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine."

"Fang boy, the two of you should stop being so affectionate. There are still enemies here."

The old ape couldn't bear to see these two people being so affectionate with each other in the face of a powerful enemy, so he interrupted them.

Both of them couldn't help blushing and came to Jiang Feng.

On the opposite side, Goat Beard and others were already frightened silly at this time, and they all looked at Fang Xu with serious expressions.

The Master Mirage they were talking about just now took action, but in the end he died inexplicably at the hands of the young man in front of him.

That's Master Mirage!

He is an ancient demon king who is extremely skilled in illusions. It is difficult for ordinary Yuanwu realm masters to decipher his methods.

"Brother, let's retreat!"

Behind the goateed man, a warrior trembled and spoke in a low voice.

They are afraid!

Not to mention that Jiang Feng and his group were no weaker than them in strength, the way Fang Xu killed Master Shen was enough to make them feel afraid.

After all, in their opinion, Fang Xu entered into Master Mirage's illusion and easily killed him in the field where Master Mirage was best.

Isn't it understandable that when it comes to illusions, the other party is stronger than Master Mirage?

The goat-bearded man's expression changed for a moment, and then he looked at the old ape and the long dragon beside Jiang Feng. He seemed to realize that even if he took action, he would not have much chance of winning, so he slowly retreated backwards.

After weighing the strength of both sides, Jiang Feng did not act rashly.

The other side is quite powerful. They have two more Yuanwu realm warriors than their own side, and there are even more other Wuzun realm warriors. If they start fighting, they don't have much chance of winning.

The purpose of this mission was to rescue the captured core disciples.

Now that the mission is accomplished, there is no need to take risks.

After the other party withdrew, they also returned to the treasure ship.

Inside the cabin, Jiang Feng looked at Gu Qiu and the other seven people in front of him, and asked them one by one about the scene when they were captured. Finally, he found out that the one who took action at that time should be the Master Mirage who was good at illusions.

After checking to make sure that the few people were not seriously injured, he directly ordered the helmsman to turn around and head towards the fairy island.

On the deck, Fang Xu stood at the edge of the ship's side, looking at the sea quietly.

While comprehending the dragon bloodline inheritance passed down by the long dragon, he encountered some strange things.

That ray of time power is still stored in the bronze scale, but what is the thing that comes into my body along with the time power?
Fang Xu thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't understand it.

The opponent seemed very strong, but his attitude was very gentle. He did not forcibly occupy his body right away, but slowly affected him in a way that he could hardly detect.

Make yourself feel as if your character has changed over time.

but……

Recalling what happened after meeting Gu Qiu, Fang Xu became confused again.

The other party seems to know Gu Qiu!

Especially when he saw Gu Qiu standing up on the island, he could clearly feel a strong sense of longing and joy...

Especially when he held Gu Qiu in his arms in a domineering manner at the end and said, "Be obedient this time," Fang Xu felt even more clearly the joy of regaining what he had lost and the slight fear that followed!
"Fang Xu?"

Gu Qiu's voice came from behind.

Fang Xu suppressed his doubts in his heart, turned around and looked at Gu Qiu with a smile: "Senior Sister."

Gu Qiu went straight to the side of the ship and stood next to Fang Xu.

As the sea breeze blew, a faint herbal scent wafted from her body, which Fang Xu felt smelled very good.

"You..." Gu Qiu turned his head, stared at his face, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

When she was controlled by the illusion of Lord Mirage, she had a certain sense of the outside world.

The moment she woke up from the illusion, she immediately realized that she had been living in an illusion.

"So that's the kind of life that Senior Sister longs for."

Seeing that Gu Qiu swallowed the words back when they were on the tip of his tongue, Fang Xu felt a little embarrassed and found a new topic.

Gu Qiu was stunned.

“What kind of life do I want?”

Fang Xu smiled faintly and said, "It's just like the ordinary life in the fantasy world, where men farm and women weave, and they take care of their husbands and children."

"I thought……"

"Ah!" Gu Qiu interrupted Fang Xu's words with a shameful scream, and then asked quickly: "How did you see it?"

Fang Xu asked suspiciously, "Senior Sister, what's going on?"

“Sometimes I also want to…”

"Tell me first, how did you see it!" Gu Qiu asked.

"The people who captured you were able to show you the illusion you were in. The person in charge and I saw it..." Fang Xu said.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qiu's pretty face showed a trace of despair and she kept muttering:
"It's over, it's over..."

"This is really embarrassing..."

"You...how much did you see?" After murmuring, Gu Qiu asked again cautiously.

Fang Xu looked at her with some confusion.

"Tell me quickly, how much did you see and what did you see?!"

Under her questioning, Fang Xu hesitated and said, "On the beach... a group of children, you were weaving a fishing net, and there was a man fishing..."

"Is that all?" Gu Qiu asked quickly.

Fang Xu nodded: "That's all..."

Gu Qiu suddenly let out a long sigh of relief and patted his chest, saying, "It's okay, it's okay!"

Seeing her like this, Fang Xu couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's wrong with that?"

"You didn't see the illusions of those brothers."

"That senior brother who is dressed in white and holding a silver sword..."

Fang Xu vividly described to Gu Qiu the true thoughts in the hearts of several core disciples of the Ascension Society at that time.

The core essence of the illusion is to stimulate the simplest and most real thoughts in the human mind, amplify desires, and then let the entire illusion world develop in the direction that the target most expects, making people sink into it and unable to extricate themselves.

To put it simply, the entire illusion world is actually an inducement given by the caster, and everything that happens afterwards is left to the imagination of the person who has been tricked.

The senior brother in white mentioned by Fang Xu was sitting high above the nine heavens, looking down at billions of lives. This was a typical heart of an emperor.

There is also the core disciple who stands at the top of the world and exudes terrifying power. That is the mentality of pursuing the strongest person in the world.

Fang Xu told the story one after another, and Gu Qiu was stunned!
puff!

A sudden laugh came from behind, interrupting their conversation.

Fang Xu turned around and was shocked to find six people standing behind him.

The faces of several of them were frighteningly black at this moment, and they looked at him with eyes that seemed to want to eat him.

"Uh...several brothers..."

Fang Xu shrank his neck. He never expected that he would be caught talking about others behind their backs.

It can be said that they are quite unlucky.

He was originally bored in the cabin, and then he learned from Jiang Feng that Fang Xu had made the greatest contribution to the rescue, so he thought about finding Fang Xu and thanking him in person.

Who would have expected that as soon as they arrived on the deck, they would hear Fang Xu telling them about their awesome deeds in the illusion.

He had intended to just listen as a bystander, but Fang Xu didn't leave out any of them and told them all how everyone behaved in the illusion.

"Junior Brother Fang, this is not nice enough!"

The young man in white with an emperor's mentality walked over with a dark face and said through gritted teeth: "You peeped into our inner secrets and used them to amuse Junior Sister Gu Qiu. You are really good..."

"That's right!" Another core disciple also came over fiercely: "We are all brothers and sisters. We have no objection to you pursuing Junior Sister Gu Qiu, but you can't build your happiness on our pain..."

"Second Brother, stop talking. There is an unwritten rule in the Fairy Island that we old men can hold a welcome ceremony for the new Junior Brother. When the time comes, we must thank Junior Brother Fang..."

"Then I must thank you very much..."

Several people stared at Fang Xu with malicious eyes. Even a fool knew that this so-called "thank you sincerely" was not a good thing.

"Brothers, please stop!"

Fang Xu smiled bitterly and cupped his hands.

He knew that these people had no ill intentions, they were just angry and ready to teach him a lesson.

"What else?" The young man in white smiled and put his arm around Fang Xu's shoulders and said, "After entering the Fairy Island, we will be brothers in the future. We need to get closer to each other."

"By the way, let me introduce myself first. My name is Meng Lu."

"My name is Su Hongyu." The young man who Fang Xu described as domineering also came over and said word by word.

"My name is Liang Quming."

……

Several people came over one by one, hugged Fang Xu and introduced themselves.

The scene seemed harmonious, but Fang Xu couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

He knew clearly that once they reached the fairy island, these guys would never let him off easily.

"Hey, fellow disciples, please don't bully me!" Gu Qiu naturally knew that they were upset, so he pulled Fang Xu out from among them, and protected him behind him, saying, "Fang Xu is the youngest disciple after becoming a core disciple. Aren't you bullying me?!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

"Look! Look!"

Seeing Gu Qiu defending Fang Xu like this, Meng He looked at the people behind him with a smile on his face.

"Ha ha……"

Several people all laughed at this time. Gu Qiu was so angry that he slapped the cloth bag on his body, and instantly attracted a large number of flying insects circling in the air.

When they saw these flying insects, the expressions of Meng He and others changed instantly.

"Junior Sister Gu, this is not something to be joked about!"

"Junior Sister Gu, a bite from this thing can be fatal, put it away quickly!"

"Well, we won't laugh at you anymore, just put away your little treasures."

……

Seeing that the others were getting scared, Gu Qiu took back all the flying insects above his head.

After some laughter, Meng He and his companions looked at Fang Xu and said:
"Let's talk business, Junior Brother Fang. This time it's all thanks to you."

"Senior Brother Jiang said that the Lord Mirage who trapped us is an ancient demon king who is good at illusion. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't be able to deal with it."

Fang Xu smiled awkwardly: "I didn't use much strength, that guy underestimated me."

"Junior Brother Fang, you are too modest. You saved our lives, and I must repay you for this favor."

"But you made fun of our embarrassment behind our backs. This vengeance... must be avenged!"

"When we get to the Fairy Island, our brothers will treat you well."

After saying this, Meng Lu waved his hand and said, "Let's go, don't disturb their good times."

Seeing that Gu Qiu was about to summon the poisonous insect again, several people hurriedly returned to the cabin.

Gu Qiu turned around angrily, met Fang Xu's gaze, and chuckled, "That's just the way they are. Don't take it to heart."

Fang Xu nodded and asked curiously, "Are the core disciples on the island on good terms with each other?"

Gu Qiu thought for a moment and said, "Most of them are fine."

"There are not many core disciples on the Fairy Island. Most of them are either in seclusion or have missions all year round. They rarely stay on the island."

"For example, the junior brother from the Yu Kingdom branch who came to the island three years ago, has been living in seclusion in the mountains all day long since he entered the fairy island, and has not interacted with anyone."

three years ago?
Fang Xu thought about it and realized that Gu Qiu was probably talking about the disciple of Deacon Jiang Lu of Dengxiantai.

According to Huang Qingzhou, that senior brother was like that when he was in the Yu State branch, so much so that many disciples of the Yu State branch didn't know there was such a senior brother like him.

"Senior Sister, can you tell me about the Fairy Island?"

Fang Xu asked casually as the sea breeze blew.

Gu Qiu nodded: "Okay!"

The two men came to a deck step and sat down, and Gu Qiu began to speak.

It turns out that the Immortal Island and the Ascension Association branches in various countries are similar.

On the other side there are the Divine Soldiers Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall, the Affairs Hall and so on.

The only difference from the branch is that all the disciples on the island are the same, with no distinction between high and low.

The allocation of resources among disciples is mainly based on the three lists.

The first list is the Newcomer List, which includes new disciples who have been on the island within fifty years.

The resources available will vary depending on your ranking on the list.

The second list is the Hidden Dragon List, which covers all the core disciples of the Ascension Society.

The last one is the Ascension List.

According to Gu Qiu, there are only eleven people on the Ascension List so far, and she is not clear about the specific requirements for entry. Anyway, as far as she knows, there has not been a twelfth person on the Ascension List in the past hundred years.

After the three lists, the greatest opportunity on the Fairy Island is the Nameless Fairy Scripture.

According to rumors, the Nameless Immortal Scripture existed long before the Ascension Society occupied the Immortal Island, and the founder of the Ascension Society rose to power thanks to the Nameless Immortal Scripture.

Every core disciple will have one day a year to comprehend the nameless immortal scripture. The time can be accumulated or exchanged with contribution points.

In addition, every core disciple will receive the guidance chapter of the nameless immortal scripture after entering the immortal island, and can use the guidance chapter to practice on a daily basis.

In short, all the cultivation resources on the fairy island cover the realms above the Yuanwu realm.

Compared with the martial arts practice before the Yuanwu realm, it seems that that is the real practice.

With Gu Qiu's introduction, Fang Xu finally had some idea in his mind.

"Senior Sister, do you know ancient martial arts?" Fang Xu suddenly asked.

"Ancient martial arts?" Gu Qiu frowned and said, "There are records about ancient martial arts on the island, but it's actually nothing."

"As for the ancient martial arts you mentioned, except for the Nine-Layered Star Platform system which is considered taboo, other systems are practiced on the island."

"For example, Senior Sister, I practice the art of witchcraft."

"Witch?" Fang Xu looked at her curiously: "Same as the witch in Muyun Country?"

Gu Qiu heard this and sneered: "The witchcraft of Muyun Country can only be regarded as minor details. The real witchcraft is all-encompassing."

"Tame beasts, raise poisonous insects, heal, poison, curse, refine corpses, etc. are all witchcraft methods."

"Senior sisters all know this?" Fang Xu asked in astonishment.

Every profession has its specialties. If one gets involved in too many things in cultivation, it will affect the improvement of one's own realm. If Gu Qiu gets involved in so many things, there might be problems in the future.

"Of course, after all, I am a holy body!" Gu Qiu said proudly.

Eucharist!?
Fang Xu looked at her in disbelief.

Since he started practicing martial arts, he has only seen two people who possessed the Holy Body.

The first one is Chu Mu’s Danxiang Holy Body, and the second one is the Yin Qia Holy Body boy that Lu Liren of the Lu family robbed outside the Tilanshan ruins.

Gu Qiu is the third one.

"Okay, I won't tell you any more. We're almost at the fairy island."

Seeing that Fang Xu seemed to want to ask about his holy body, Gu Qiu stood up and interrupted him.

Fang Xu also stood up and looked into the distance.

"Fang Xu, you are the only one who knows that I am pregnant with the Holy Body, besides Master. Don't tell anyone else."

Gu Qiu suddenly tilted his head and looked at Fang Xu.

Fang Xu was stunned for a moment: "Don't worry, Senior Sister."

……

Time soon came to evening, and when the endless sea was dyed golden by the afterglow of the setting sun, a huge island vaguely appeared in front of the treasure ship!

In the center of the island is a mountain that rises high into the clouds. From a distance, it looks like the sea-suppressing stone tablet carried by Baxia in mythology.

The light of setting sun shines on the mountain, which is surrounded by clouds and mist, as if a waterfall is flowing down from the top of the mountain, which perfectly interprets the poem in the previous life: "The waterfall drops three thousand feet straight down, as if the Milky Way falls from the sky"!
Standing at the head of the tunnel, Fang Xu quietly looked at the fairy island in front of him, not knowing whether it was because of the brightness of the setting sun or if he was seeing things.

For a moment in a trance, he seemed to feel a bright and extreme fire flash across the island in front of him!
"The fairy island is ahead." At this time, Jiang Feng also walked out of the cabin.

Glancing at the Ghost Face Army on the boat, Jiang Feng looked towards a small island with lush trees in the distance and said, "There should be no one on that island. The Ghost Face Army can rest there now."

"Some supplies. I will send someone to deliver them later."

Fang Xu nodded.

The island is big enough, and the 3,000 members of the Ghost Face Army are all warriors, so building some simple dwellings on it should not be a problem.

And this trip to the fairy island was smoother than expected.

It seems that the legendary blockade is only carried out by Mr. Mirage and his group led by Goatee on that small island.

After dealing with them, the group didn't encounter any other troubles along the way.

After the treasure ship slowly approached the fairy island, it soon arrived at a magnificent dock.

Fang Xu and his group got off the boat and explained something to Sha Tianrui. Then the treasure ship turned around and headed towards the distant island.

"Welcome to the fairy island." In the crowd, Gu Qiu put his hands behind his back and looked at Fang Xu with a smile.

Fang Xu nodded and looked around.

Compared with the buildings of the Yu State, the buildings on the island are more similar to the flying eaves and upturned corners of ancient China.

There is not a single decent street on the island. All the houses are built at will, leaning against the mountains and beside the water. They are of random sizes, and the main feature is their individuality.

Fang Xu was stunned.

"Senior Sister, the buildings on this island..."

Gu Qiu followed his gaze to the slightly exaggerated courtyards, covered his mouth and laughed, "The fairy island is very big, and there are not many disciples and elders on the island."

"These houses were designed and built at will by the seniors and disciples."

"In short, you just need to find a place you like and then spend your contribution points to ask some construction experts in the Affairs Hall to help you build it."

“In theory, you can build as big as you want.”

Fang Xu was stunned when he heard this.

Isn't this too casual?
"Come on, once you've officially entered the sect, I'll take you to visit my residence."

The group followed Jiang Feng directly to a magnificent hall.

Fang Xu was just marveling at the fact that the hall was finally taking shape, when he unexpectedly discovered that, halfway up the mountain behind the hall, there stood an ancient building more than ten stories high!

The ancient building has walls and courtyards and is decorated with colorful ribbons, which looks a bit out of place.

"Then... could this be the residence of some disciple?" Fang Xu asked with a buzzing head.

Gu Qiu nodded: "It belongs to a senior sister."

As soon as he said this, the old ape and the long dragon beside him also lost their composure.

The disciples of the Ascension Society are really unique!

Not only did he build his residence behind the sect's main hall, he also built it taller than the main hall and even made it ostentatious.

It forms a sharp contrast with the solemn and dignified sect hall.

Will the top leaders of the Ascension Society just ignore such a bizarre thing?

Jiang Feng also noticed the astonishment on the faces of the three people. He shook his head awkwardly and looked at Gu Qiu and asked, "Senior Sister Kong's yard has not been demolished yet?"

Gu Qiu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Elder Zhang from the Affairs Hall has looked for her..."

Jiang Feng was curious: "What did you say?"

Gu Qiu looked strange: "I said it with my fist."

"Senior Sister Kong beat up Elder Zhang and said that unless the president came in person, she would not demolish the yard no matter who told her to do so!"

Hearing this, Jiang Feng frowned and seemed not to want to say anything more.

Fang Xu actually heard something from this sentence.

First of all, the owner of this courtyard, Senior Sister Kong, has more seniority than Jiang Feng, because Jiang Feng always calls her Senior Sister.

Second, her strength was very strong, and it seemed that no one in the entire Shengxian Association would listen to her except the president.

Third, this Senior Sister Kong has a strong personality and it is very likely that she has a bad temper.

It seems that I have to be more careful in the future.

If he offended her, no one in the entire Shengxian Society would dare to protect him.

"Okay, stop looking, let's go to the main hall." As if thinking that the building was a disgrace to the Ascension Society, Jiang Feng hurriedly urged Fang Xu and Lao Yuan to walk towards the main hall.

"Fang Xu, I won't go in. I'll wait for you here."

Gu Qiu spoke.

Fang Xu nodded and followed Jiang Feng towards the main hall.

At the entrance of the main hall, two core disciples who were guarding the door saw Jiang Feng and said respectfully, "Greetings, Senior Brother Jiang."

Jiang Feng nodded, then led Fang Xu and the other two into the main hall.

The decoration of the entire hall is very luxurious. Gold and jade, which are extremely precious things in the world, can only be used as floor tiles and decorations for wrapping the pillars.

Not only that, Fang Xu also found many lamps, tables and chairs made of some rare refining materials.

Directly behind the main hall is a huge statue, which is somewhat similar to the flying celestial beings in ancient murals of previous lives.

Seeing the statue, Fang Xu frowned slightly.

Could it be that the mysterious president of the Shengxian Society is a woman! ?
"Jiang Feng greets the two elders."

Coming to the side of the huge statue, Jiang Feng bowed slightly towards the two people above.

Fang Xu came to his senses upon seeing this, and bowed to the two men above him: "Disciple Fang Xu, I pay my respects to the two elders."

He didn't even notice the two people under the statue, let alone see their faces clearly.

"Jiang Feng, you haven't been back for many years, right?"

A kind voice came from above.

Jiang Feng cupped his hands and said, "It's been seven years. Uncle Huang, how is Uncle Zhang doing recently?"

Two old men wearing white robes and with white hair and beards on the high platform slowly stood up, looked at Jiang Feng with a smile and said, "We two old bones don't have many years to live."

"Is this little guy the most promising disciple of your Yu Kingdom branch this year?"

Fang Xu lowered his head and felt two pairs of eyes looking at him.

Jiang Feng bowed and said, "My Lords, I think Fang Xu is the most promising disciple of our Yu Kingdom branch in the past hundred years."

Hearing this, the two people on the steps looked at each other, then laughed and said, "Junior Brother Jiang rarely praises others like this."

"Then let me see if this boy is worthy of your praise."

Before he finished speaking, a gentle force slowly lifted Fang Xu up, and then one of the slightly fatter white-haired old men snapped his fingers and shot a ball of white light into Fang Xu's body.

As soon as this ball of white light entered Fang Xu's body, it quickly moved around in his body.

Fang Xu frowned slightly, and a purple-black divine flame instantly emerged, burning the white light to ashes!
Not only that, the divine flame also followed the connection between the white light ball and the old man, burning towards the old man's body in front of him!

Seeing this, the old man frowned and waved his sleeves to extinguish the divine flame. "Such a domineering flame..."

That gentle force put Fang Xu down.

"I'm sorry, Elder. I couldn't control myself."

The old man smiled and waved his hand: "Although it was just a brief glimpse, I already know your potential."

"My Ascension Society doesn't have so many rules, so don't be too restrained."

As he spoke, his hand flashed with light, and he took out a set of clothes and an Ascension Order and handed them to Fang Xu, saying, "Jiang Feng has already informed the two of us about your situation. Since you have delayed the assessment due to rescuing several core disciples, I will not assess you separately."

"This is what you get when you are promoted to a core disciple."

Fang Xu cupped his hands, took the item, and was shocked to find that the seemingly ordinary clothes were actually a set of seventh-grade treasures!
What a grand gesture!
If this set of treasures were placed in the Yu Kingdom, it would be worth more than ten thousand gold! ?

"Elder, these two fellow disciples from the demon race are going to recommend them to be the mountain kings of my Ascension Meeting."

Jiang Feng pointed at the old ape and the long dragon and spoke.

Upon hearing this, the two turned around and walked up to the old ape and the dragon to take a closer look.

"The ultimate in lead and glamour, broken and then rebuilt, the Earth Demon Ape Clan, not bad."

Another elder who looked at the dragon was even more surprised and said: "He has the blood of a true dragon and possesses a trace of the law of thunder and lightning. He has reached the level of a great demon in just a hundred years. He has a bright future."

The two looked at each other, smiled and bowed to the old ape and the dragon, saying: "Welcome to the Ascension Society."

The old ape and the long dragon also hurriedly bowed in return.

"My two Taoist friends, although we have already agreed to Shanjun's matter, we still need to go through the Elders Council to go through the formalities."

"During this period of time, please stay on the island for the time being. After we gather all the elders to discuss, we will personally issue the Mountain King Order and the corresponding items to you two."

The old ape and the long dragon nodded.

"Jiang Feng, send them down first. We two have something important to discuss with you."

……

Outside the sect hall, when Fang Xu came out, Gu Qiu was still waiting outside.

"Sister, why didn't you follow me in just now?" Fang Xu asked curiously when he saw Gu Qiu.

Gu Qiu shook his head and complained, "I don't want to see those two old guys. They nag me every day."

Fang Xu was a little amused when he heard this.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Gu Qiu shook her little hand and pulled Fang Xu, saying, "I'll take you to see my residence!"

The three followed Gu Qiu around the island. On the way, they saw many core disciples of the Ascension Society sitting cross-legged on the rocks by the roadside, in the woods, or by the waterfalls, practicing in seclusion at any time, without worrying about being disturbed.

Changlong was very curious.

"Gu Qiu, isn't the Fairy Island surrounded by enemies? Why aren't they worried at all?"

Gu Qiu smiled and said, "They can't beat us."

Can’t make the call?

Fang Xu asked with some confusion: "But when he was in Yu Country, why was Elder Jiang Feng so worried about the situation of the Immortal Island?"

Gu Qiu pursed his lips and thought for a while, "Maybe Senior Brother Jiang is overthinking it."

"arrive!"

After passing through a dense jungle, they came to a small valley full of birdsong and flowers.

A small waterfall flows down slowly from the distant mountain, converging into a clear stream winding through the valley.

On the left bank of the stream is a piece of land planted with many herbs and exotic flowers, and there is a small wooden bridge covered with wisteria flowers on the river.

The wooden bridge leads directly to the right bank of the stream.

At the end of the winding path are several bamboo houses built in distinct levels according to the mountain terrain.

The land on both sides of the bamboo house was divided into many small squares, some of which were planted with newly sprouted plants, while others were fenced off and kept with some small ferocious beasts.

In the middle of the open space in front of the bamboo house, there stands a towering ancient tree, its huge crown forming a large area of ​​green shade.

Under the shade of trees, the stone tables and benches that look like they were carved from white jade are neatly arranged, looking very peaceful and natural.

"Squeak!"

At this moment, a black figure suddenly jumped out, rushed directly to Gu Qiu, and climbed up to her shoulders along her clothes.

The little squirrel squatted on Gu Qiu's shoulder, waved at Fang Xu, and grinned, revealing two big front teeth.

"How about it!?"

Gu Qiu gently stroked the little squirrel's head and looked at Fang Xu.

"Yes, it's a good place to live and practice."

Satisfied with his praise, Gu Qiu led the three people to the stone table.

"Please sit down first. I'll make you a pot of tea."

Gu Qiu jumped away, while Fang Xu, the old ape and the long dragon sat beside the stone table.

"A fairyland..."

The dragon looked around and exclaimed: "This place is much more beautiful than my cold and dark seabed!"

The old ape also nodded and said: "This island is worthy of the name of the Fairy Island. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the island is much richer than that of Yu Country."

Changlong echoed, "Yes, yes!"

Fang Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly at this moment.

No matter how rich the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is, it is of no use to him.

He was a person targeted by the will of heaven and earth and could not absorb any spiritual energy from heaven and earth at all.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.

You stingy dog, when I get strong enough, I will poke a hole in you!
Just as I cursed in my heart, a thunder suddenly sounded out of nowhere in the originally clear sky!
A bright thunderbolt cut through the night sky and struck towards the fairy island!
hum!
Thunder struck the sky above the fairy island, suddenly creating a light blue shield.

"what?"

Gu Qiu, who was walking over with tea, looked at the sky above curiously and asked in confusion: "There was thunder out of nowhere?"

Fang Xu couldn't help but complain in his heart: This bastard is still angry?
Rumble!
Rumble!
Thunder rumbled in the clear night sky, as if it was scolding Fang Xu.

Fang Xu was too lazy to pay attention to it. Anyway, he understood that the will of this world could not do anything to him now.

“Try my cooking!”

Gu Qiu came to the stone table with a teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for everyone. The four of them started chatting while drinking.

"Fang Xu, after becoming a core disciple, you must also choose a piece of land on the island to build a residence."

"I'll take you to look around tomorrow."

Gu Qiu blinked his big eyes and spoke.

Fang Xu said awkwardly, "Didn't you say you could choose any one? Why do you have to be near here?"

As soon as he said this, the old ape couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth.

This kid!
Fang Xu was slightly stunned, then he noticed Gu Qiu's angry look, and then he realized: "Okay, okay, let's choose a piece of land nearby."

Gu Qiu rolled his eyes at him, then poured another cup of tea for the old ape and said, "Senior Ape, as a mountain king, you can choose any piece of land to build a house when the time comes."

The old ape chuckled and said, "I won't choose anywhere else nearby."

"Yes, Uncle Yuan and I are going to choose a good place facing the sea!" Changlong said excitedly.

Deep down, he still loves the sea.

The four of them chatted and quickly finished the pot of tea.

Just when Gu Qiu was about to add some tea, Jiang Feng came over.

"Take charge..."

Fang Xu just opened his mouth, but Jiang Feng smiled and waved his hand and said: "From the moment you become a core disciple, you don't have to ask me to take charge. We are brothers."

Fang Xu nodded: "Senior Brother Jiang."

Jiang Feng nodded, looked at the old ape and the long dragon and said, "Although the matter of the mountain king has not been finalized, there shouldn't be any problem."

"The two uncles have arranged for you, Brother Yuan, to temporarily live in Fengya Courtyard. You can move in after your courtyard is built."

Fengya Courtyard was a courtyard built by a core disciple of Xiandao before. That disciple died later, and the courtyard was temporarily ownerless.

It is often used as a temporary residence for disciples who have just arrived on the island.

"Senior Brother Jiang, I have an empty house here. Let Fang Xu live here for the time being!" Gu Qiu suddenly said.

Jiang Feng was stunned when he heard this.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Gu Qiu stared and asked, "What's wrong with that?!"

Jiang Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Okay, it depends on Fang Xu's decision."

As he spoke, he looked at Fang Xu.

Fang Xu was about to speak, but Gu Qiu interrupted him and said, "What opinion can he have? It's not like we haven't lived together before, right Fang Xu?"

Forehead!
This sounds a bit ambiguous, but the two of them did live together when they were on a mission together.

"Then I'll live here for the time being." Facing Gu Qiu's pressing gaze, Fang Xu could only agree temporarily.

"Well, I'll take Brother Yuan and Changlong to Fengya Villa."

After Jiang Feng finished speaking, he led the old ape and the long dragon out of the small valley.

Only Fang Xu and Gu Qiu were left in the valley.

Sitting in front of the stone table, Gu Qiu propped his chin with both hands, looked at Fang Xu and said, "Do you know why I have to let you stay here?"

Fang Xu shook his head.

Gu Qiu looked a little gloomy and said, "It's almost the fifteenth."

fifteen?

Fang Xu looked up at the moon in the sky and asked in confusion: "What happened to the fifteenth?"

Gu Qiu sighed deeply: "I have already told you that I am a special holy body."

"My holy body will undergo some changes every full moon night. If I can't stand it then, I hope you can help me."

Fang Xu was a little stunned when he heard this, but he nodded instinctively.

"Okay, I'll go clean up the room for you." Gu Qiu stood up with a smile and pulled Fang Xu to an exquisite room.

He opened the door, carefully made the bed for Fang Xu, then looked up at Fang Xu and said, "You stay here for the next few days. I'll live next door."

"Let's go!"

He waved his hand, making a crisp bell sound, and Gu Qiu closed the door.

With his hands on the railing outside the door, Gu Qiu looked at the moon above his head with a serious expression. His slightly chubby face turned around to look at the room behind him, and a trace of tenderness and determination flashed across his face.

Inside the room, Fang Xu could sense Gu Qiu standing outside his door.

After Gu Qiu left, he suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and sank his consciousness into his body.

Back then on the island, Lord Mirage was killed by the mysterious existence in his body. The entire demon pill along with the essence of Lord Mirage's flesh and blood was absorbed by himself.

Afterwards, he didn't have time to check what changes had occurred in his body.

The consciousness carefully checked the body, but did not find anything abnormal.

Fang Xu was a little curious. He had absorbed the inner elixir and the essence of blood and flesh of an ancient demon king. Could it be that there was no effect at all?
With doubts, his consciousness came to the sea of ​​​​consciousness.

When he saw the Dao base in his sea of ​​consciousness, he was completely stunned!

It turns out that the demon king's inner elixir and all the essence of his flesh and blood have come here!

In the sea of ​​consciousness, above the nine-foot Xuanshui Dao foundation, the second layer of Dao foundation, which was originally only three feet, has now almost reached nine feet.

And in Fang Xu's perception, his second level of Taoism seemed to have devoured Master Mirage's illusion ability. The entire second level of Taoism flickered, between reality and illusion.

As consciousness approached, Fang Xu looked at it for a moment.

Maybe... I can break through to the second level of Martial Honor tonight?

Walking on the path of ancient martial arts, one level of foundation will lead to a new realm.

Nine feet is the maximum. At this time, the second level of the Tao foundation has reached more than eight feet, and it is only an inch away from reaching nine feet.

Because it was targeted by the will of heaven and earth, it was unable to draw any energy from this world.

Fang Xu could only use the power of consciousness to call upon the original energy from the seven acupoint worlds.

For ordinary warriors, building the foundation of Taoism is not as simple as opening up acupoint space and constructing a star map.

The foundation of the road needs to be polished, and every step must be done with great care and caution!

Because every tiny mistake may lead to death in the future.

Fang Xu had originally planned to polish it carefully, but he never expected that with the injection of original energy, the second layer of the foundation would expand at a speed visible to the naked eye!
hum!
Under Fang Xu's astonished gaze, the second layer of the Taoist foundation directly rose to nine feet, emitting a gray luster.

This... is done! ?

Fang Xu looked at the two layers of Taoist foundation, one black and one gray, in astonishment, feeling a little confused!

Is there really something wrong with my cultivation?

Why is it so easy?
With some disbelief in his heart, he immediately mobilized the most primitive energy in the acupoint world again and poured it into his Taoist base.

He wanted to see if there was really no bottleneck in his cultivation.

However, no matter how he infused the original energy, the third layer of the Tao foundation remained motionless, and it did not even grow an inch!

Fang Xu was a little disappointed.

It seems that my cultivation level is not without any bottlenecks.

At least for now, he doesn't know how to condense the third level of Tao foundation.

How was the previous level of Tao foundation condensed?
Fang Xu racked his brains and began to recall how his second level of Taoism came about.

I got it!
The second level of the Taoist foundation was formed by forcibly absorbing the cultivation and blood essence of six fox demons with the Yin-Yang Xuanca Sutra in Tilan Mountain!
Do I have to do it again if I want to condense the third level of Tao foundation?
After much thought without any results, Fang Xu shook his head and decided not to think about it for the time being.

Regarding the ancient martial arts, there should be ancient books on the Fairy Island that we can look up. We can just go back and take a look.

Due to the punishment from the will of heaven and earth, he hardly practices at night now and just falls asleep immediately.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Fang Xu walked out of the room.

In the early morning, the fairy island was shrouded in mist, and the fresh air in the valley was filled with a faint floral scent.

Fang Xu took a deep breath and immediately felt refreshed.

After more than a month of sailing on the sea, it is rare to have a good night's sleep.

I came to the yard and stretched my body a little, and saw that Gu Qiu had not gotten up yet.

Fang Xu found the kitchen, saw some ingredients, and prepared to cook something to eat.

When one's cultivation reaches his level, although he cannot reach the point of eating clouds and drinking dew and ignoring worldly concerns, most cultivators will choose to use Qi and Blood Pills to replenish their own consumption.

Even if I eat something occasionally, it is just to satisfy my appetite.

Fang Xu was preparing to cook something just to satisfy his craving.

Smoke rose from the kitchen chimney as Fang Xu contentedly chopped some blood food into small pieces and put them into the pot to cook together with the millet porridge.

This thing was called millet porridge in ancient times, and was called lean meat porridge in later generations.

Unfortunately, there is no preserved egg...

"Hey, what are you cooking? It smells so good?" At the kitchen door, Gu Qiu was leaning against the door frame with her hair loose, sleepy eyes.

The light of the morning sun shone on her clean and fair face, and the fine hair emitted a faint glow.

Fang Xu turned his head, looked at her and said with a smile: "You will know later."

Gu Qiu pouted, then nodded slightly: "I'll go wash up."

Under the shade of the tree, in front of the stone table.

Gu Qiu stroked her belly with satisfaction.

"Although this thing is not as good as the Qi and Blood Pill, it is really delicious..."

Lying on the stone table with his head resting on his arm, Gu Qiu looked at Fang Xu and asked, "What is this thing called?"

Fang Xu wanted to tell her the name "Century Egg and Lean Meat Congee", but then he thought it was not very cool.

"Shu Gu."

Gu Qiu blinked his eyes, looking puzzled: "What?"

"Shuju." Fang Xu put down his bowl and chopsticks and explained, "Shu is millet, and ju is meat slices. It is a kind of porridge made from millet and meat slices."

Gu Qiu laughed after hearing this: "You came up with the name yourself, right?"

Fang Xu smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

He stood up and wanted to clean up his own bowl and chopsticks as well as Gu Qiu's.

"I come!"

Gu Qiu rushed to take the dishes to the kitchen to wash, then came to Fang Xu and said, "I'll take you to pick a piece of land and build a house for you."

Fang Xu nodded and followed Gu Qiu to the nearby forest.

"How about this one?"

Gu Qiu pointed to the empty space in front of him.

Looking at the land she chose, Fang Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Why don't you just give up the vegetable field on the left bank of the creek and I'll build a house here."

The site she chose was only a few meters away from the vegetable fields on the left bank of the river.

"It's not impossible..." Gu Qiu thought about it seriously and said, "Let's take this piece. I'll dig up all the herbs here, and you can build a house here. We can look across the river!"

"I'm just kidding!" Fang Xu said quickly.

"I'm serious!" Gu Qiu glared at him and pulled him directly to the affairs hall.

The affairs hall of the fairy island looks much more imposing than the affairs hall of the Yu State Ascension Association branch.

However, perhaps because the fairy island was under siege, the core disciples on the island were unable to go out on missions, and there were not many people in the affairs hall.

"Senior Sister Gu Qiu, hello, Senior Brother Fang."

At the front desk of the affairs hall, an old man in his seventies saw the two of them and spoke respectfully.

Fang Xu looked at Gu Qiu curiously and whispered, "Why does this guy call me Senior Brother?"

Gu Qiu laughed and said, "Do you think that all the disciples on the Immortal Island are core disciples?"

Fang Xu was a little stunned.

Gu Qiu explained: "Many disciples on the island were brought here directly from other places by the elders of the sect."

"They all had great potential in the early stages, but in the end many of them were unable to pass the assessment for core disciples."

"The core disciples need to concentrate on their training, and some basic matters on the island also need people to take care of them, so the elders left them here."

"The people in charge of handling these mundane matters in each hall are not core disciples."

Fang Xu suddenly realized.

"Mr. Xun, please help me find an architectural atlas."

Although the old man in front of him is not a core disciple, because he has lived on the island since he was a child, many core disciples will still respectfully call him "Master Xun" when they see him.

"Sister Gu Qiu, please wait a moment." The old man smiled and took out a thick stack of atlases and handed it to Gu Qiu, saying, "I will give you a quote after you select one."

Gu Qiu nodded, holding the album and going to the side with Fang Xu to look through it carefully.

"how about this?"

“This one seems pretty good too…”

As the two were discussing, the door to the office suddenly darkened.

"Hello, Senior Sister Kong."

When Mr. Xun at the front desk saw the visitor, he greeted him with a trembling voice.

Not far away, Fang Xu and Gu Qiu raised their heads at the same time and looked towards the figure at the door.

"It's over. How did I run into this lunatic?"

Gu Qiu muttered something and quickly buried his body next to Fang Xu.

The figure looked around the affairs hall and finally saw Fang Xu and Gu Qiu.

With a sneer on her lips, the woman strode forward.

Bang!
A pair of hands wearing strange gloves pressed on the documents in front of Fang Xu.

Fang Xu frowned.

"Kid, get out of the way!"

The woman glanced at him and waved her hand impatiently.

Fang Xu remained unmoved.

After knowing that this senior sister named Kong was not easy to deal with, Fang Xu did not want to provoke her.

But even a clay man can get angry, and the other party's attitude made him very unhappy.

"Ok?"

Seeing that Fang Xu remained unmoved after she had spoken, and then seeing that Gu Qiu was hugging Fang Xu's arm at this time, a trace of anger flashed in the woman's eyes.

A hand like an iron hoop grabbed Fang Xu's shoulder directly, intending to throw him out on the spot!

However, Fang Xu did not move at all at this moment!

joke!

Possessing the abilities left by the Zhuding Star Map and the Kuiniu Star Map, as long as he wants, the weight of his body can exceed ten thousand kilograms!
Although the senior sister named Kong in front of him has the cultivation level of Yuanwu Realm, she is still not strong enough to crush Fang Xu in terms of strength.

Seeing that she couldn't shake Fang Xu for a while, the woman showed a trace of surprise in her eyes, loosened her palm and sneered: "You are Fang Xu from Yu State, right?"

Fang Xu bowed slightly: "Meet Senior Sister Kong..."

"Don't!" The woman suddenly raised her hand, then looked at Gu Qiu and said domineeringly: "Junior Sister Gu is mine, there's no point in trying to get close to her!"

???

Fang Xu showed a trace of surprise on his face. He glanced at the woman's weapon that was close to him. After confirming the other party's gender again and again, he looked at Gu Qiu.

"What are you looking at?"

The woman slowly stood up, looked down at Gu Qiu and said, "Junior Sister Gu, come with me."

Hearing this, Gu Qiu raised his head from behind Fang Xu, clasped his hands together, and pleaded, "Senior Sister Kong Jie, please let me go."

"It's really not possible for the two of us."

When Kong Jie heard this, her eyes widened.

"Then it's just you and him!?"

"What's so good about men!?"

Fang Xu was sandwiched between the two of them, and he felt a little confused when he heard what Kong Jie said.

He never thought that he would encounter such a strange thing in the world of monks.

Lala?

"Come with me!" Completely ignoring Fang Xu, Kong Jie reached out to grab Gu Qiu.

call!
Fang Xu suddenly stood up and stopped Kong Jie.

"Sister Kong, a forced melon is not sweet."

"Go away!"

Seeing this, Kong Jie's eyes flashed with a hint of violence, and the monstrous aura rushed directly towards Fang Xu!
