Start from the Martial Arts

The next day.

Six people visited the market together.

Yu Yongwei looked calm, as if nothing had happened.

Fang Xiu didn't mention the secret realm either.

The two of them had a tacit understanding.

With Shen Fei as an "outsider", the conversation between the five of them was not as comfortable as before.

Fang Xiu stayed for another day and then excused himself to go back to sow blood-toothed rice.

Chen Fan also left with Fang Xiu on the grounds that the Mu family was busy with affairs.

Lin Shaoyu and Mu Qingxuan tried to stay, but they declined.

Yu Yongwei said that they would meet again if there is a chance in the future.

When the two left, Fang Xiu felt that Shen Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

I wonder if he and Chen Fan are regarded as imaginary enemies.

A dignified foundation-building monk with such a small talent, no wonder Yu Yongwei looked down on him.

Fang Xiu and Chen Fan rode the flying swords and returned to the Fengrao Plain together.

The two parted ways and then returned to the cliff to the west of Tianlong Valley.

At night.

afterwards.

Fang Xiu hugged the sweating Su Lingyun and asked her if she could refine a pill to restore her mana.

"I'm quite good at the first-level middle-grade Yuan Yuan Dan... However, the effect of the Yuan Yuan Dan on late-stage Qi refining monks is weak. If you swallow too much at one time, a large amount of erysipelas will accumulate."

Su Lingyun responded.

"Is that so..." Fang Xiu thought thoughtfully.

"The first-grade high-grade Spiritual Milk Pill is more effective. But... I only have a 20% success rate, so I will lose money refining the Spiritual Milk Pill." Su Lingyun said again.

"It doesn't matter if you lose money, as long as you have it." Fang Xiu smiled.

"Do you want Spirit Milk Pill for..." Su Lingyun asked in a low voice.

"If it's inconvenient, I won't ask."

"It's nothing inconvenient, that's all.

.....: "Fang Xiu informed Su Lingyun about the Azure Secret Realm.

"You want to enter the Azure Secret Realm? This won't work!" Su Lingyun looked worried.

"Why are you so excited?" Fang Xiu was surprised.

"Your Qi and blood are strong, and you still have at least three opportunities to build the foundation. There is no need to take risks. If you are short of spirit stones, I have saved thousands of spirit stones over the years, plus the achievements I have accumulated in the sect, I can secretly exchange it for you for some auxiliary elixir for refining the foundation-building pill," Su Lingyun advised.

"It's not that difficult for me." Fang Xiu shook his head.

In most sects, in order to increase the sense of belonging of their disciples, some resources are cheaper to exchange for merit than to buy them outside.

However, these exchanged resources are not allowed to be used by outsiders.

When Baiyu collaborated with him to make elixirs, she also found resources by herself instead of exchanging them within the sect.

Tianling Fruit and Chalcedony Mushroom can be regarded as mid-to-low-end strategic resources in the sect, and many monks need them.

Even if the sect has contributed enough, they still have to queue up to redeem it.

Bai Yu couldn't jump in line, otherwise he would have been able to gather the medicinal ingredients.

"You're not going into the secret realm because of me, are you? I would rather not build a foundation, and I don't want you to take risks!"

Su Lingyun sat up in shock, revealing her plump and beautiful figure.

"Crack!"

Fang Xiu pulled her to lie down: "I cherish my life very much, how could I take such a risk?"

Su Lingyun leaned against Fang Xiu and looked forward to the future, "It's enough if you can build the foundation. It would be best if I could build the foundation. I can always be with you. If I can't, it doesn't matter."

"Relax, take your time according to the plan, and you are right to listen to me." Fang Xiu was full of confidence.

"Yeah! I believe you...:"

Su Lingyun is full of tenderness.

Another half year has passed.

Fang Xiu harvested more than 800 kilograms of high-quality blood tooth rice.

Fang Xiu finished sowing the blood-toothed rice seedlings, leaving Su Lingyun to look after the house while the earth dragon and beast turned over the soil.

He went all the way east from the southeastern border of Zhou State and entered Qian State.

Then cross the Qian Kingdom, which is a hundred thousand miles in radius, and enter the easternmost Hanhai Fairy City.

Fang Xiu spent twenty days just traveling.

Traveling five thousand miles a day, he has reached the flying speed of a foundation-building monk.

The Ivy Sword has been promoted to the best, and the flight speed has been greatly improved. In addition, the mana consumption is only two-thirds of the normal best magic weapon, and Fang Xiu's battery life has been greatly improved.

Of course, if he flew away regardless of consumption, he would probably arrive in fifteen days.

Fang Xiu arrived at the area where Vast Sea Immortal City was located.

The water aura in the space gradually became thicker, and the salty sea breeze blew in.

Among the four major immortal cities, Hanhai Immortal City is the strongest in terms of overall strength.

The city lord of Hanhai Immortal City, Xuanming Zhenren, has reached the fourth level of elixir. He has not lived more than 400 years and is already at the ninth level of golden elixir.

He can be called the number one casual cultivator in the Qian Kingdom, and he is expected to condense the Nascent Soul and achieve greatness.

If it weren't for the outbreak of beast tides in the East China Sea every few years, which weakened the strength of Vast Sea Immortal City, the other three major immortal cities would not be able to compete with Vast Sea Immortal City.

Fang Xiu stepped on the flying sword and stood in mid-air.

On the coast of the East China Sea, under a magic circle that looks like an eggshell, stands a majestic city made of pitch-black boulders.

The pitch-black city wall is criss-crossed with ravines and pits, and is stained with the body fluids of monster beasts that have long since dried up and changed color. If Skyfire Fairy City is like a crawling flame beast in the mountains, then Vast Sea Fairy City is like a dragon that roars up to the sky and fights bloody battles in all directions.

Fang Xiu landed in front of the fairy city and walked towards the city gate.

Vast Sea Fairy City has a dedicated demon hunting team.

Many casual cultivators also make a living by hunting monsters.

If you hunt a certain number of monsters, you can enjoy some special treatment in the Vast Sea Fairy City.

For example, renting a cave allows you to obtain spiritual stone exemptions.

Buy or consign items at auctions and get discounts.

"Having been harassed by beasts for many years, the monks here seem to be better at fighting...:"

Fang Xiu came to the gate of the city. Monks were coming and going. Many of them exuded the unique fishy smell of monster corpses, and their faces contained evil spirits.

Deliver the spirit stone, register, make an identity token, and then enter the city.

The process is similar to that of Skyfire Fairy City.

After Fang Xiu entered the city, he found Baodanju opened by Danxia Sect.

The shopkeeper told Fang Xiu that Bai Yu had arrived at the Vast Sea Fairy City a month ago and had already taken the disciples from the Danxia Sect to the sea to hunt monsters.

According to time estimates, he will be back in the next few days.

So Fang Xiu left a message saying that he would live in the inner city and wait for Bai Yu to come back.

He left Baodanju and walked around the inner and outer cities. Because it is close to the East China Sea, most of the monster materials here have water attributes.

The price is also much cheaper than Skyfire Fairy City.

If you have the ability, you can earn a lot of spirit stones just by reselling monster materials between Skyfire Fairy City and Vast Sea Fairy City.

The price difference for first-level materials is about ten spirit stones.

The price difference for second-level materials is as high as more than one hundred spirit stones.

However, the two immortal cities are one hundred thousand miles apart in the east and west.

Qi refining monks can't run away, but foundation-building monks don't need these spiritual stones.

Fang Xiu bought some second-level talisman skins and asked about the price of the second-level monster inner elixir.

"Sea King Snake...golden shell...fish baby beast..."

The price of most inner elixirs is cheaper than inland, but the inner elixirs of some special water attribute monsters are not only not cheap,

On the contrary, it is more expensive.

The three second-level monsters, the Sea King Snake, the Golden Shell, and the Fish Baby Beast, have the least impurities in their inner elixirs and the mildest monster power.

It is most suitable to be used as the main medicine of the Foundation Building Pill instead of Tianling Fruit and Chalcedony Mushroom.

The quality of the refined Foundation Establishment Pill will also be slightly better.

Except for monks with fire and earth spiritual roots, their properties are incompatible, which will reduce the potency of the medicine and are not suitable for taking it.

Other monks with gold and wood spiritual roots can also take the foundation-building pills refined from the inner elixirs of these three water-attribute monsters.

"It's suitable for me to take..."

Fang Xiu nodded secretly.

Bai Yu obviously took this into consideration when he chose to hunt monsters in the Vast Sea Fairy City.

“It’s really expensive...:”

Fang Xiu asked about the inventory of three kinds of monster inner elixirs in the store: Neptune Snake, Golden Shell, and Fish Baby Beast.

The cheapest second-level low-grade Neptune Snake elixir costs three thousand spirit stones each.

The price is ridiculously expensive, close to a defective foundation-building pill.

Three days later, the manager of Baodanju found the inn where Fang Xiu was staying and informed him that Bai Yu had returned.

Fang Xiu went to Baodanju and met Baiyu.

"Brother, you're here. Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Bai Yu came forward, exuding a faint fishy smell.

"I've just arrived, but I'm keeping you waiting. How have you gained from going out these days?" Fang Xiu asked with a smile.

"Not very good..." Bai Yu shook his head, "But I got familiar with the surrounding environment in advance, which is somewhat rewarding."

The Danxia Sect disciples behind Bai Yu all looked tired, and some of them were slightly injured.

These people are all inner disciples and true disciples of Danxia Sect.

Most of their cultivations are in the late stage of Qi refining, and there are two true disciples whose cultivation is at the Great Perfection of Qi refining.

"Brother, let's talk while walking." Bai Yu grabbed Fang Xiu's sleeve.

"So anxious? Why don't you rest for a few days?" Fang Xiu felt slightly comfortable.

"No need, I basically didn't consume too much mana." Bai Yu looked anxious.

"Okay." Fang Xiu nodded.

The two of them left the Danxia Sect's shop.

"Master Uncle Bai's eldest brother is just Qi Refining Dzogchen, right? Why does Master Baiyu value him so much?"

When the two left, the disciples of Danxia Sect were a little puzzled.

A group of Qi refining monks put together were killed by a second-level early-stage monster. Fang Xiu seemed to have only reached the Great Perfection of Qi refining.

Could it be more useful than all of them combined?

"Maybe he's good at hunting monsters...:"

Fang Xiu and Bai Yu went out of the city together.

Bai Yu released a flying boat, and the two of them got on the flying boat and flew towards the outer sea.

"Brother, we previously found a second-order low-grade Neptune Snake near a desert island thousands of miles away. Unfortunately, in the middle of the battle, we also attracted a second-order mid-grade Fish Baby Beast."

Bai Yu's face was filled with regret.

He was lucky. After only one month of searching, he found the special monster Sea King Snake needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, the second-level low-grade Neptune Snake was not easy to deal with, and he could not kill it in a short time.

As a result, the delay was too long and the fish baby beasts, which feed on the sea king snake, were attracted.

Those who went to sea with him were all inner disciples and true disciples of Danxia Sect. If they were all destroyed, he would be responsible.

In order to protect the disciples of Danxia Sect, he had to temporarily hold back the Yuying Beast and let the disciples retreat.

In the end, both the Sea King Snake and the Fish Baby Beast ran away.

So when Bai Yu saw Fang Xiu arriving, he immediately took him out to sea, hoping to see the desert island. Maybe the Sea King Snake and the Fish Baby Beast were still in the nearby waters.

With Fang Xiu joining in, it shouldn't be a problem for the two of them to join forces to deal with the second-level middle-grade fish baby beast.

If we encounter the second-level low-grade Neptune Snake again, we can probably resolve the battle quickly.

One month later.

The offshore waters of the East China Sea.

Dang, Dang, Dang!

Continuous loud noises echoed between the sea and the sky.

A giant golden shell demon with a radius of two feet was stranded on the desert island beach and was attacked by two male cultivators.

There is a person on the left, fluttering in white, wielding a silver-white long sword. The sword's light is sharp, vertical and horizontal, and is constantly slashing at the shells, preventing the shell demon from having a chance to escape back to the sea.

Whenever the silver-white long sword rotates and accumulates power, another young man in black robe, whose whole body is wrapped in blood-colored gauze, will appear next to the shell demon.

Dang, Dang, Dang!

The fist as big as a casserole was like a heavy hammer hitting the shell, making a loud sound.

Within a moment, deep cracks appeared on the shell of the shell demon. Several cracks penetrated the shell, and the shell meat faintly emerged.

Kapyr!

After repeated fierce attacks, the shell finally couldn't withstand the heavy blows and was shattered by Fang Xiu's punch.

His fist penetrated into the shell flesh, grabbed a hard ball the size of a fist, and yanked it out.

"Hiss!

The golden shell let out a sharp whistle, and the closed shell suddenly opened. In the middle of the shell, a large mouth full of sharp fangs opened, and it bit Fang Xiu's upper body fiercely.

puff!

The silver-white sword light came in an instant and plunged into the mouth of the golden shell. The sword energy turned its inside into a ball of minced meat.

Boom!

Huang Jinbei died on the spot and lost his voice.

At this time, a dark black shadow floated out from the corpse.

Whoosh!

A ball of white light hit the shadow, wrapped it up, and brought it into the magic bottle of the God in Baiyu's hand.

"Very good!"

Bai Yu breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at the white ball in Fang Xiu's hand - Golden Benedin.

Although they spent a month without finding the previous Neptune Snake and Fish Baby Beast, they accidentally discovered a golden shell basking in the sun on a desert island.

Fang Xiu gathered his breath and dived under the sea. When he was close to the shore, he suddenly attacked.

Bai Yu then took action, and after a siege, he killed the golden shell at the early stage of the second level.

"Go on." Fang Xiu threw the golden Benedan in his hand to Bai Yu.

Baiyu took it carefully and sealed it in the jade box.

"Brother, your hand is injured..."

At this time, Bai Yu saw Fang Xiu washing his hands, only to find that the surface of Fang Xiu's hands were bloody.

"It's just a small injury. The shell of this golden shell is really hard!"

Fang Xiu grinned.

The main reason is that the second-level monster is too smart. If it cannot be defeated, it will just run away and always want to return to the sea.

Fang Xiu could only fight it back to the island.

"That's true...:" The white jade face twitched slightly, a little stunned.

The shell of the Neptune Shell can be used to refine top-grade magic weapons, and its hardness is comparable to second-grade low-grade ore.

It's really an exaggeration for Fang Xiu to break shells under repeated attacks with just a pair of fleshy palms.

It seems that those who have practiced martial arts to the realm of the Martial God are really no worse than foundation-building monks.

The only disadvantage is that the long-range attack ability is not strong.

"Brother, I have good wound medicine here." Bai Yu took out the ointment.

"Yeah." Fang Xiu stretched out his hands.

Later, Baiyu collected the broken shells and shellfish, put them into a storage bag, and gave them to Fang Xiu.

"Half for each person." Fang Xiu shook his head.

"Okay." Bai Yu didn't refuse and divided the things into two parts.

"Next, I'll find a golden shell or a Neptune snake, and that'll be it." Fang Xiu smiled.

In fact, the inner elixir of one golden shell is enough to refine a batch of foundation-building elixirs.

However, if there are two inner elixirs, one batch of elixirs can be divided into two refining times, and the elixir production rate and quality will be greatly improved.
