Start from the Martial Arts

Half a year later, Fang Xiu walked out of the retreat room.

Behind him was a dark-skinned young man, who was his incarnation with a changed appearance.

With the second-level body refining and the Xuanyin Demonic Sword in hand, it is no problem to face ordinary monks in the early stages of foundation building.

Taking advantage of this time, Fang Xiu successfully understood the secret technique of 'Tiansha Armor'.

Although he has not practiced any magic skills, with his cultivation in the foundation-building period, it is not difficult to understand the secrets of magic in the Qi-refining period.

The only difficulty is to induce the evil spirit into the body, which will be very painful.

"The Heavenly Evil Armor needs to introduce the Yin Evil spirit into the body first. Is it because the Yin Evil spirit is the most suitable for practicing Nether Mysterious Art?

I can absorb the fire evil spirit first. "

Fang Xiu thought of the changes in his heart.

Among the five elements of the human body, the heart belongs to fire.

With the strength of his heart now, he can withstand the fire energy. As long as he absorbs a little bit, there will be no problem.

If that doesn't work, it won't be too late for him to absorb the Yin evil energy again.

The method of strengthening the physical body with evil spirits is not an unpopular one.

After becoming a martial artist, Fang Xiu's progress in external skills was greatly slowed down.

I wonder if we can speed up the practice of external skills in this way.

[Skill: Spirituality·Proficiency (55%)]

In addition to the Tiansha armor, Fang Xiu also understood the art of sending gods and the secret art of ghost stabbing.

He had already practiced the art of sending gods, but the Nether Mysterious Art was more complete.

As for the cultivation of Yinhun Thorn, he had no clue at all.

Ghost Thorn requires spiritual consciousness in the later stages of foundation building.

The Netherworld Mysterious Technique should originally contain the secret technique of cultivating spiritual consciousness.

Yuan Chengye was obviously on guard against the second demon soul, and he probably deliberately eliminated the secret technique of cultivating his spiritual consciousness.

But this is normal. Generally speaking, the stronger the spiritual consciousness of a cultivator, the stronger the spiritual soul will be.

Yuan Chengye certainly didn't dare to let the progress of the second demon soul catch up with him.

"The Meng Family's Three Soul Gathering Technique can strengthen spiritual consciousness, but you have to go to the Song Dynasty..."

Fang Xiu had previously obtained the first level of the Three Soul Gathering Technique from Meng Qianjue.

The Meng family not only has spiritual consciousness techniques, but also the secret technique of refining puppets.

Practicing puppetry requires high spiritual consciousness. In addition, it also requires weapon refining. Both of these points can be satisfied.

"If I had a few second-level high-grade puppets to deal with the second demon soul, it would probably be much easier."

The foundation-building ancestors of the Meng family were completely wiped out.

After the Meng family was annexed by the Zhao family of the Song Dynasty, some of the skills should also have fallen into the hands of the Zhao family.

Song State is the weakest among the seven major cultivation countries in Yunzhou.

However, the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Song Kingdom, Tianfeng Zhenjun, was not weak.

Although he is at the early stage of Yuanying, his escape speed is extremely fast, and he once escaped from the hands of a peak monk in the middle stage of Yuanying.

"We can only think about it in the long term."

Fang Xiu put away his external avatar and walked towards the outside of the cave.

The Zhao family has one late-stage foundation-building monk, one mid-stage foundation-building monk, and three early-stage foundation-building monks. Their strength is not weak.

Fang Xiu returned to the small courtyard in the inner city.

I learned from Su Lingyun that Sun Chuan came back three months ago and picked up Sun Miaoling.

Bai Yu also left the customs a month ago and returned to Danxia Sect after leaving a message.

"knew."

Fang Xiu nodded.

Seeing that Su Lingyun was about to speak but hesitated, Fang Xiu asked, "What's wrong?"

"Did I break through?"

Su Lingyun responded.

"What's the breakthrough?" Fang Xiu's consciousness swept away.

Su Lingyun is still at the sixth level of Qi refining, but her Qi and blood have greatly increased, and her external skills have broken through to the Grand Master level.

"Has your spiritual root improved?"

"Improved." Su Lingyun nodded, then shook her head: "That's not what I'm talking about, it's alchemy."

"Has your alchemy skills improved?!" Fang Xiu beamed with joy.

"Yeah." Su Lingyun nodded heavily.

"That's great!"

The first-level high-grade alchemy technique can already help him refine Xuanmu Dan.

"Aren't you still in a bottleneck period?"

"In recent months, the prices of talismans and magic weapons in shops in the city have been rising, and the price of healing elixirs has also increased by as much as 20%. Baiyu said hello to Baodanju in the city, and the price I paid for ordinary elixirs was still high. It's the same as before. The more spiritual stones you earn and the more times you refine elixirs, the more you will achieve a breakthrough." Su Lingyun explained the reason.

"The price of talismans and magic weapons has increased? Are there any healing elixirs?" Fang Xiu's heart moved.

Su Lingyun said: "It is said that the Liang State had a conflict with the Yuan State and Zhou State on the border."

"A conflict broke out between the Liang Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom and the Zhou Kingdom? Will it affect the price of goods in Tianhuo Immortal City?" Fang Xiu's eyes changed slightly.

Tianhuo Fairy City is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Liang Kingdom border, and the prices here have been affected. I am afraid it is not as simple as the outbreak of conflict.

The second demon soul has a lot of memories about Yunzhou's senior officials.

Among the seven major cultivation countries, Qin is first and Liang is second. The two countries have been competing for the dominance of Yunzhou. The remaining five cultivation countries are Yuan, Qian, Zhou, Wei and Song. formed an alliance called the Five Nations.

It includes most of the Nascent Soul monks from the five countries.

One is to mediate the internal conflicts among the five countries and avoid the outbreak of fierce conflicts among the Nascent Soul Sects.

Secondly, facing the oppression of Qin and Liang, the Nascent Soul monks from the five countries must unite and advance and retreat together.

Among the seven major cultivation kingdoms, Wei State, the second-last in terms of strength, borders Liang State to the north and Qin State to the southwest.

If it weren't for the existence of the Five Kingdoms Alliance, Wei would have been carved up by Qin and Liang.

In addition, to the west of Wei State, at the junction of Qin, Liang and Wei, there is the largest holy land for casual cultivators in Yunzhou - Wushuang Immortal City.

Although Wushuang Immortal City remains neutral and does not participate in the disputes between the countries in Yunzhou, Weiguo has a Qingmei Zhenjun, who is sworn brothers with Cangsong Zhenjun and Yuzhu Zhenjun of Wushuang Immortal City.

Cangsong Zhenjun has the cultivation of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and Yuzhu Zhenjun has the cultivation of the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul. They are the real powerful high-level officials in Wushuang Immortal City.

The two often mediate to prevent Qin and Liang from bringing the war to Weiguo.

"With my authority, I can't get more information, but Junior Brother Bai should know something after returning to the sect."

Su Lingyun saw Fang Xiu silent and reminded him.

"It's okay, I will ask someone about this matter." Fang Xiu nodded, "You just broke through and need to sort out your qi and blood. Let me help you."

"Ah?" Su Lingyun smiled slightly and blushed, "It's not good in broad daylight..."

"It's all for cultivation!" Fang Xiu pulled Su Lingyun to the inner room.

An hour later

After Fang Xiu helped Su Lingyun to sort out her qi and blood, he stood up and dressed.

"I'm going on a long journey, remember not to leave the city."

Fang Xiu reminded him.

"Hmm..." Su Lingyun replied in a daze.

Fang Xiu left the courtyard, visited Sun Chuan first, and then went out from the west gate.

Whoosh!

Fang Xiu flew the flying sword towards the fertile plains of Zhou Kingdom.

After breaking through the foundation, this was his first long-distance flight.

He flew 20,000 miles in two days, and he didn't fly at full speed.

Fang Xiu didn't plan to go directly to Yinyang Pavilion to find Yu Yongwei.

Instead, he went to the Lin family in Tianlong Valley first and asked Lin Shaoyu to pass a message to Yu Yongwei.

After what happened to Shi Tongtian, Fang Xiu decided to fully implement the essence of Gou Dao and try to avoid being contaminated by cause and effect.

Letting Lin Shaoyu go to Yu Yongwei can avoid Shen Fei's hostility.

Although the possibility is small, he doesn't want to cause trouble.

Fang Xiu rushed to the entrance of Tianhuo Valley.

A thin middle-aged man with a short beard came flying over.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, how are you?" Fang Xiu found that the person who came was Lin Youde.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Fang, I don't know...:" Lin Youde saw that the person who came was Fang Xiu, and bowed to him. Just as he was about to ask about his purpose, he suddenly noticed the faint spiritual pressure on Fang Xiu.

"Fellow Daoist Fang... No! Senior Fang has broken through the foundation?!" Lin Youde was surprised.

"I broke through by chance at the beginning of the year." Fang Xiu nodded.

"I'm sorry." Lin Youde hurriedly bowed.

"Fang wants to see the clan leader, I don't know...

Fang Xiu explained his purpose.

"Senior, please follow me!" Lin Youde said respectfully.

"Thank you."

"Senior, you are too polite! "

Lin Youde invited Fang Xiu into the valley, summoned monks to entertain him on the way, and then he entered the villa first.

As soon as Fang Xiu arrived at the front hall, Lin Cunzhi came to greet him.

"Senior Fang, I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar, please forgive me."

Lin Cunzhi apologized.

"Patriarch, there is no need to do this, Shao Yu and I are friends, you and I can just be friends as equals." Fang Xiu smiled.

"This... :: . . Then I will be generous enough to call you Fellow Daoist Fang. "Lin Cunzhi's eyes were a little complicated.

When Lin Youde came just now, his first reaction was that Fang Xiu couldn't make it outside, and wanted to return to the Lin family to grow blood-tooth rice and prepare to sign a long-term contract, but Lin Youde told him that Fang Xiu had successfully established his foundation.

How could Fang Xiu become the ancestor of foundation building after leaving the Lin family for less than two years?

Like Fang Xiu, he failed to break through the foundation and entered the realm of great perfection of Qi refining.

When he reached the great perfection of Qi refining, he realized how difficult it was to break through the foundation again.

"I wonder what advice Fellow Daoist Fang has for you this time?"

Lin Cunzhi invited Fang Xiu to the living room and carefully asked Fang Xiu's purpose.

"Fang has a letter and would like to ask the clan leader to pass it to Shao Yu on his behalf, asking him to help pass a message to Fellow Daoist Yu."

Fang Xiu felt Lin Cunzhi's restraint and went straight to the point.

"So that's the case. This matter is easy to handle. I will send someone to Yin Yang Pavilion to inform Shao Yu!"

"Thank you."

"Senior, you are too polite. "

Fang Xiu took out the letter, and Lin Cunzhi immediately handed it to his sixth uncle.

At this time, seeing his sixth uncle's complicated expression, Lin Cunzhi also knew what he was thinking.

"It will take some time to deliver the letter. If you don't mind, please come to the inner courtyard to rest."

"Okay."

Fang Xiu accepted Lin Cunzhi's invitation.

In the next few days, Lin Cunzhi tried to invite him to serve as the Lin family's offering, but Fang Xiu declined.

After that, the two early foundation-building cultivators of the Lin family, the brothers Lin Renjie and Lin Renxiao, came to visit Fang Xiu one after another.

As for the mid-stage foundation-building cultivator, he did not show up because he was out.

"It's really different when it comes to foundation-building. '

Fang Xiu sighed in his heart, and the Qi-refining cultivators had a natural awe of him.

Half a month later, Lin Shaoyu returned to the Lin family and sent a reply.

Seeing Fang Xiu break through the foundation-building, he was also shocked.

It is rare for Qi-refining Great Perfection to break through the foundation-building.

However, seeing Fang Xiu's attitude towards him remained the same, Lin Shaoyu was very happy.

Fang Xiu learned that Yu Yongwei went to Anshan City alone to wait for him, and he immediately set off.

Fang Xiu arrived at Anshan City and went straight to Jiuxian Tower.

"Fang Daoyou."

Before he entered the box, Yu Yongwei came out to greet him.

"Congratulations."

Yu Yongwei greeted him with a smile.

"It's much worse than fellow Taoist Yu." Fang Xiu returned the courtesy. Yu Yongwei's cultivation level has reached the second level of foundation building, which can't be said to be unpleasant.

The two entered the box to talk.

"Fellow Daoist Fang is here to return the ivy wood I gave you? Or are you planning to buy it with spiritual stones?" Yu Yongwei joked.

Because she gave Fang Xiu the green vine wood in the hope that Fang Xiu could enter the Azure Secret Realm.

Of course, if Fang Xiu doesn't want to go, that's normal. He can just buy the green vine wood with the spirit stone.

Now that she saw that Fang Xiu had successfully built the foundation, she was happy for her old friend.

"Not only am I not here to return the ivy wood, but I also want to ask fellow Taoist Fish for the ivy wood!" Fang Xiu took over.

"Oh? What do you mean by this?" Yu Yongwei smiled in surprise.

"Although I can't enter the Azure Secret Realm, I have an irresistible friend. This person is definitely one of the best during the Qi Refining Period, and is definitely better than me before."

Fang Xiu smiled.

"Who can be so respected by fellow Taoist Fang?" Yu Yongwei became interested.

"How about the twelfth level of Qi refining and the second level of body refining?" Fang Xiu asked.

"Sure enough!" Yu Yongwei nodded.

"If I, a friend, picked the Fengling Flower for Taoist Yu Yu, I don't know..." Fang Xiu paused.

"Then I will give up my shame and beg for nothing, but I will still get the branches of the ivy tree from Master."

Yu Yongwei smiled happily and said it very naturally,

"With these words from fellow Taoist Yu, I feel relieved." Fang Xiu's eyes lit up, he believed in Yu Yongwei's character and did not need any guarantee from her.

"By the way, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Yu has heard anything recently? It's about...,

Fang Xiu changed the subject.

"Fellow Daoist Fang is probably asking about the border conflict." Yu Yongwei said straight to the point.

"Is it easy to tell?" Fang Xiu asked.

"You asked me that, can I say nothing?" Yu Yongwei rolled her eyes at him.

"If it's really difficult, forget it."

Fang Xiu paused.

"Really forget it?" Yu Yongwei smiled half-heartedly.

"Please help me, fellow Taoist fish, to clarify my doubts." Fang Xiu clasped his fists.

"I don't know much. It is said that the Netherworld Sect of Qin State and the Jiuling Sect of Liang State reached an agreement.

We must deal with the Yuan Kingdom together. Because Xu Feijing, a close disciple of Xiao Yihan, the leader of the Five Kingdoms Alliance, joined forces with others in the Yuan Kingdom to attack Yuan Chengye, the only son of Zhenjun Mingquan, and severely injured him. "

Yu Yongwei pondered.

"So... we really want to start a war?" Fang Xiu frowned slightly. The leader of the Five Nations Alliance, Xiao Yihan, was also at the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage and would not compromise easily.

"According to my master, this may be just an excuse to get Yuan Guo to give up some benefits."

Yu Yongwei shook her head slightly.

"As long as True Lord Nascent Soul does not take action, there will be no full-scale war. Issues at this level should not be considered by us."

"That's right." Fang Xiu thought thoughtfully.

If they really fight, it will just be a different place to practice.

This is the benefit of casual cultivation.

If you don't enjoy the benefits of the sect, you don't need to take on the responsibility of protecting the sect.

"Let's discuss the matter of Tianqing Secret Realm." Yu Yongwei changed the subject.

"good."

Yu Yongwei handed Fang Xiu a rough map of the first floor and marked the locations where the Fengling Flower might appear.

Then explain the situation of each sect that has entered the secret realm.

Among them, the Five Elements Sect and the Qingtian Sword Sect were highlighted.
