Start from the Martial Arts

“There’s no hard work, it’s all talent.”

Fang Xiu put the earth dragon beast into the spiritual pet bag and walked out of the earth fire room.

Earthdramon broke through to the second level and was much stronger than him.

And he also awakened two second-level innate spells.

They are "Stone Skin Technique" and "Earth Rock Thorn".

The defense power of the Earth Dragon itself is very astonishing. After using the innate spell 'Stone Skin Technique', even the best magic weapons can hardly break through the defense.

As for the ground rock spur, it is an upgraded version of the ground spike technique, which can form a large number of ground spikes in a larger area.

Unexpectedly, it can pose a fatal threat to the foundation-building monks.

Foundation-building monks are still unable to fly in the air, so they have to control the magic weapon to fly into the air.

Anyway, at close range, Fang Xiu is no match for the Earth Dragon Beast.

Although the Earth Dragon Beast's attack could not easily break through the defenses of Qi and Blood Veil and Gang Jin, its pure physical power was difficult for Fang Xiu to withstand.

With his martial arts skills, plus the Earth Dragon Beast at the early stage of the second level, when an ordinary monk in the early stage of foundation building encounters him, he should consider how to escape.

Of course, Fang Xiu did not swell due to the sudden increase in strength, nor did he underestimate the monks in the world.

With this bit of background, he has no problem dealing with ordinary foundation-building casual cultivators.

This may not be true for the true heritage of large sects and direct descendants of aristocratic families.

However, Fang Xiu has always adhered to the principle of not causing trouble.

His current strength gives him the confidence to not be afraid of trouble.

It’s enough to gain a foothold in Tianhuo Fairy City.

"It's time to go home..."

Fang Xiu was eager to return home. He just wanted to return to the Yan Kingdom immediately and bring his wife and daughter to the world of immortality.

He entered the inner city, bought some resources that he could use when he returned, and sold some of the talisman and seal stocks he had previously accumulated.

With his current strength, spells below the second level are basically useless.

Fang Xiu sold all the first-order mid-grade talisman seals and the first-order high-grade offensive talisman seals.

Only the first-level high-grade defensive talisman seals were left.

As for the remaining three magic elixirs, he still kept them and planned to give them to his wife and daughter for self-defense.

The power of the Three Ultimate Gangjin is so overbearing that even the first-grade high-grade talisman paper cannot fully withstand it. It exerts its full power, so there is no inventory left.

Now that I have broken through to the realm of the God of War, my strength has exceeded the limit. If I want to make talismans and seals, I have to buy second-level talisman skins.

“If you want to break through to the second level in your talisman-making skills, you have to wait until you come back.

Fang Xiu carried the hundreds of spiritual stones he got from selling talismans and seals, bought some small gifts, and walked out of the south gate of Tianhuo Fairy City.

A rough calculation shows that I have been away from home for nearly seven years.

There is still more than a year left before the eight-year appointment.

Although it was not far ahead of schedule, Fang Xiu finally exceeded his goal.

He still has more than a thousand kilograms of bloody tooth rice in his storage bag.

Even people with average martial arts talent can improve their cultivation by regularly eating blood tooth rice.

What's more, Fang Xianlan, who is extremely talented in martial arts.

Fang Xiu stepped on the flying sword and flew less than a hundred miles out of the Skyfire Immortal City.

Phew!

A giant fireball the size of a water tank suddenly rose in the mountains and forests below.

"Um?"

Fang Xiu was startled, turned around, and narrowly escaped the attack of the fireball.

Phew!

More fireballs soared into the sky from the mountains and forests below. Although it was only a first-level spell, the fireballs flew extremely fast and did not look like spells released by Qi Refining monks at all.

!

Fang Xiu pinched the sword finger with his hand, waved his hand and released his strength to blast the fireball, and quickly lowered the flying sword.

With his flying speed, he will become a living target in the sky.

Fang Xiu landed towards the other side of the mountains below.

Boom!

Before he landed, a large number of thorns rose from the ground and stabbed under him.

Fang Xiu's face showed a cold expression and his heart beat violently.

The qi and blood in his whole body were highly boiling, spurting out from his skin and pores, turning into blood-colored gauze,

shrouded his whole body.

Kapyr!

The stabbing hit the Qi and blood gauze, which was shattered to pieces by the Gang Jin attached to it.

Fang Xiu landed firmly, activated the soul pattern on the fourth page of the Book of Destiny, and his consciousness surged to forty-five feet.

He sent out his spiritual thoughts around him and sensed that there was a person hiding in the woods about thirty feet ahead.

It's just that his consciousness cannot be released, and he cannot detect who it is.

With such a long distance and the ability to activate spells so quickly, he must be a foundation-building monk.

I didn’t expect that Tangtang, a foundation-building earth-cultivator, would be so shameless, sneaking up on his Qi-refining earth-cultivator.

As if feeling the detection of Fang Xiu's spiritual thoughts, the cultivator hiding in the forest released his spiritual consciousness.

"Why do you, fellow Taoist, hide your head and show your tail? Come out!" Fang Xiu shouted.

"roar!"

A huge dragon roar sounded.

A three-foot-long dragon condensed by flames rose from the forest, attacking Fang Xiu with its fangs and claws.

Fire dragon technique!

A second-level low-grade fire attribute spell.

"Hmph!" Fang Xiu narrowed his eyes, and the Red Star Sword flew out of his body and fell into his right hand.

The sword's aura flashed, releasing an astonishing fire-attribute aura.

Buzz!

Gang Jin merged into the magic power, Fang Xiu swung out his sword, and the three-foot sword gang roared out.

puff!

Although the size of the fire dragon is more than ten times that of the sword gang, facing the red fire sword gang, the fire dragon, with its teeth and claws splayed, has little resistance at all. It only stagnated for a moment and was split into two by the sword gang, turning into flames and extinguished on the spot. .

"Eh? Jian Gang?!"

The people in the forest made a sound in surprise.

The next moment, he flew out.

He has a large yellow robe, a square mouth and a broad nose, a ferocious face, and one left ear is missing.

"Is it you?" Fang Xiu's eyes narrowed.

The middle-aged man in front of him turned out to be the early-stage foundation-builder from the previous auction.

This person had bid for the Tu Ling Pill with him, but finally gave up the bid.

Fang Xiu remembered that he finally spent more than 8,000 spiritual stones to capture the Skyfire Halberd Talisman.

‘Trouble! "

Fang Xiu's heart sank slightly.

"Second-level body refining technique! The best magic weapon! The Great Perfection of Qi Refining... It seems that you have also practiced the divine consciousness technique." The complexion of the yellow-robed man changed slightly.

"It seems that Fang doesn't recognize Fellow Taoist and has no grudge against you. Why did Fang take action?"

Fang Xiu's face remained calm.

If it was the normal early stage of foundation building, he would have already taken action and wouldn't even need to use the Earth Dragon Beast.

However, this person possesses the Skyfire Halberd Talisman.

Although it is only the early stage of foundation building, it should be regarded as the middle stage of foundation building, or even the peak of mid stage foundation building.

Fang Xiu doesn't want to have a conflict with such a person.

The big man in yellow robe smiled and said: "Your Excellency is really forgetful. You snatched Shi's Earth Spirit Pill at the auction.

You won't forget it, right? "

"Bidding at the auction, fair trade, the one with the highest price will win. Are you kidding me, fellow Taoist?" Fang Xiu braced himself and was on guard.

The big man in yellow robes' eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice:

"If you are refining qi and cultivating earth, you will naturally have no room for bargaining with Shi.

However, since you are a second-level body refiner, you can just pay some spiritual stones as compensation.

Later, the matter was revealed. What about Shi's proposal? "

"Not very good." Fang Xiu shook his head.

"Your Excellency, you are too disrespectful!"

The big man in yellow robe snorted coldly, and his expression darkened.

"It seems that fellow Taoist must take action today..." Fang Xiu's hand touched the spiritual pet bag on his waist.

He was thinking about what his chances of winning would be if he took action.

Does the Earth Dragon Beast need to pay the price of its life to resist the Skyfire Halberd Talisman?

Seeing that Fang Xiu was ready to take action at any time, the big man in yellow robe suddenly relaxed and smiled.

"Just kidding, fellow Taoist, don't get excited."

"What do you mean, fellow Taoist?" Fang Xiu's hand stopped on the spiritual pet bag.

"I don't know where my friend's master is? Where do you practice?" The big man in yellow robe asked with a smile.

"I don't have a master." Fang Xiu said solemnly.

"I used to plant spiritual fields at the Lin family in Bibo Lake."

"That's it." The big man in yellow robe remained calm.

Fang Xiu continued: "However, Fang's friend is Yu Yongwei, a true disciple of Yin Yang Pavilion. This time he went to Tianhuo Immortal City because she was entrusted by her to buy wind attribute materials."

The big man in yellow robes stared intently.

"In addition, I still have some blood-toothed rice in my storage bag that I want to give to Master Gongyang of Yin Yang Pavilion. If I use this item to make amends, I wonder if you would be interested?" Fang Xiu changed the subject.

+

The big man in yellow robe had a gloomy expression on his face and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, you are joking." "

"Grandpa! It seems to be over here! Come quickly!"

At this time, the girl's coquettishness suddenly came from the forest.

Fang Xiu and the big man in yellow robe both turned to look.

A girl with big braids walked out of the forest, her face flushed and sweaty, her braids swung high as she ran, looking delicate and pretty.

"ah!"

The girl came out of the forest and saw Fang Xiu and the big man in yellow robes who were at war with each other. She subconsciously exclaimed.

"Xiao Ling! What's wrong?!" The old man with white hair and a goatee flew out of the forest, exuding powerful mana fluctuations that seemed to have exceeded the scope of the Qi refining stage.

He dodged and stopped in front of the girl.

"Grandpa! It seems to be Fellow Daoist Fang who lives across the street." The girl pointed at Fang Xiu, who was covered in gauze of Qi and blood, and recognized his appearance.

Fang Xiu looked surprised. The visitors were Sun Chuan and Sun Miaoling, who lived across from him before.

On the surface, Sun Chuan is a first-level high-grade alchemist in the late stage of Qi refining.

Unexpectedly, he was actually a foundation-building monk.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Sun and Fellow Daoist Xiao Sun." Fang Xiu greeted Sun Chuan and Sun Miaoling.

"Fellow Daoist Fang..." Sun Chuan felt the change in Fang Xiu's aura and turned his eyes to the big man in yellow robe who was confronting him.

"Are these two acquaintances of Fellow Daoist Fang?" The big man in yellow robe glanced at Sun Chuan and frowned slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Sun, fellow Daoist Xiao Sun, I have some conflicts to deal with this fellow Daoist Shi. If you are fine, please leave first. We will talk about it another day."

Fang Xiu cupped his hands, not intending to drag the two of them into the water.

"Another day! Another day!" Sun Chuan nodded repeatedly, for fear of causing trouble.

"Grandpa!" Sun Miaoling hesitated.

"Mind your own business and leave quickly!" Sun Chuan lowered his voice and winked at her.

"hehe!"

Just as the two were about to leave, the big man in yellow robe suddenly laughed out loud.

"Fellow Daoist Fang was just joking. There was just some misunderstanding between us. What's the conflict? These spiritual stones are Shi's apology. I hope Fellow Daoist Fang will accept it. Shi still has something to do, so take the first step!"

The big man in yellow robe took out a cloth bag from his arms and threw it forward.

Then he turned around and left.

Enter the forest and escape in a flying boat.

Fang Xiu watched the other party leave.

He put away the Red Star Sword, but did not disperse the gauze of energy and blood condensed on his body.

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Sun and Fellow Daoist Xiao Sun for rescuing us."

Fang Xiu thanked his grandfather and grandson.

Although Sun Chuan had no intention of taking action just now, the appearance of a monk in the early stage of foundation building must have made the big man in yellow robe feel fearful.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left so simply.

"Fang Daoist, you are too serious. I am not going to intervene in the conflict between you and others." Sun Chuan waved his hands repeatedly.

"Grandpa! Is that man the 'One Ear' you mentioned? He is a shameless person who specializes in killing Qi Refining cultivators..." Sun Miaoling suddenly spoke.

"You little girl! What are you talking about!" Sun Chuan quickly covered Sun Miaoling's mouth to stop her from continuing, looking afraid of trouble.

"One Ear?" Fang Xiuyi, this nickname is very consistent with the image of the yellow-robed man.

"The man just now seems to be called Shi Tongtian, nicknamed 'One Ear'. Although he is a foundation-building cultivator, he is very narrow-minded and often embarrasses the younger generation in the Qi Refining period."

Sun Chuan explained.

"This person rarely conflicts with cultivators of the same level, and does not provoke Qi Refining cultivators with backgrounds. There are rumors outside that he will kill Qi Refining cultivators, but no one has evidence, so Tianhuo Xiancheng does not restrict his entry and exit."

"I see." Fang Xiu nodded.

His mind swept the cloth bag on the ground and found that it contained hundreds of spiritual stones.

"No matter what, thank you two Taoist friends for helping me out this time. Fang is just offering flowers to the Buddha. It's just a small gift.

It's just a token of gratitude. I hope you will accept it." Fang Xiu took the bag into his palm.

"Fang Daoyou is too polite!" Sun Chuan quickly refused, "We don't even...

"Grandpa! If you don't want it, I will!" Sun Miaoling blinked her big watery eyes.

"What do you want? !" Sun Chuan said fiercely.

"Don't want it for nothing! How can you refuse someone's kindness?" Sun Miaoling said angrily.

"Then please accept it, little Sun Daoyou." Fang Xiu took out a golden bell talisman from the storage bag and threw it to Sun Miaoling.

"Thank you, Fang Daoyou." Sun Miaoling said delicately, with a smile in her big eyes, and her voice was crisp and sweet, like a yellow warbler out of the valley.

"You dead girl! "Sun Chuan scolded in a low voice, looking at Fang Xiu with a helpless face.

"Fang Daoyou, I'm sorry, I spoiled this girl, it's really rude."

"Daoyou Sun, you are too kind. Little Daoyou Sun is really a true character."

Fang Xiu said with a smile.

"Humph!" Sun Miaoling looked at Sun Chuan with some pride.

"You two, Fang has to hurry on, so I'll say goodbye now and see you later."

Fang Xiu said goodbye to the two, then stepped on the flying sword and galloped away.

In order to avoid being intercepted by Shi Tongtian halfway, he changed direction.

"Alas... :..." When Fang Xiu disappeared from his sight, Sun Chuan sighed faintly.

"Grandpa, why are you sighing again? Didn't you say you wanted to make friends with someone whose fate is too precious to be mentioned?" Sun Miaoling put away the golden bell talisman and opened the cloth bag.

"This person has an extraordinary fate and good luck. But his fate is ups and downs, and the future is uncertain. "Sun Chuan pondered.

"Grandpa, you'd better stop using divination and qi-reading. If your cultivation level drops again, you'll reach the Qi-refining stage. How will you live then?" Sun Miaoling counted the spirit stones in the bag.

"You damn girl! Stop talking nonsense!" Sun Chuan blew his beard and glared.

"Bah, bah, bah! The good ones don't work, but the bad ones...::...No, the bad ones don't work, but the good ones do!" Sun Miaoling said hurriedly.
