Chapter 103 Return to Fangshi

After attending the funeral, Li Tongya changed into a white robe. He counted the days and found that it was the time for the opening of Wangyue Hufang City. He put away the monster furs and many materials he had hunted in these days and headed north.

I rode the wind and patrolled the reed swamps for several times. I wanted to wait for the time to pick up a ray of fresh air from the river, but I saw that the river bed was dry and yellow, so I had no choice but to come out empty-handed.

"After months of drought, the river network has dried up, and all the reeds have withered and turned yellow. How can we get any fresh air from the river?"

After leaving the reed swamp, Li Tongya rode the wind to Wangyue Lake. The waterline of Wangyue Lake retreated hundreds of miles. The fish carcasses everywhere were covered with maggots, and many small islands appeared on the lake.

Li Tongya flicked his sleeves and struck, and the formation hidden in the air was immediately activated, emitting bursts of silver light.

Things were different now. He just scanned his spiritual consciousness and found the big boat on the lake. He took a few steps and landed on it.

"Sir! Are you going to Wangyuehufang City?"

A young man who was only a third-level Zhou Xing Lun cultivator ran out from the cabin below and asked diligently.

"good."

Li Tongya found a place to sit down in response, and saw the young man coming up with tea, but the white-haired old man was nowhere to be seen, and asked:

"I remember that the person driving this boat was still a white-haired old man more than ten years ago. Why has the person been changed now?"

The young man acted as if he suddenly understood, gently put down the tea bowl in his hand, and replied repeatedly:

"Senior, I don't know something. The old man failed to make a breakthrough in Qi training and died at the end of his life ten years ago. There are no spiritual children in the family. The eldest son exchanged the spiritual objects for fields and returned home to become a rich man."

Li Tongya paused for a moment, gently picked up the tea bowl, and did not drink the tea out of caution, so he had to put it down again, and said with some regret:

"Pity."

"Eh."

The young man lowered his eyes and cupped his hands, and quickly replied:

"Senior, I don't know. This old man lived for a full one hundred and eight years and died at the end of his life. We boaters all envy his good luck!"

"oh?"

When the young man saw that Li Tongya looked like a man who was only in his thirties but had practiced Qi refining, and had a storage bag and a gas bottle tied around his waist, he knew that this man was most likely a child of a big family, so he had to smile bitterly and said:

"Senior, I don't know. The inheritance of our casual cultivators is simple. Most of us use the first-grade method of breathing out the fetal breath. It takes more than ten years to breathe out before you can touch the corners of the Condensing Wheel. It is normal to be trapped in the fetal breath for a lifetime."

"I see."

The young man has been working on the lake for more than ten years. Most of the qi refining monks he met were aloof and did not bother to speak. However, Li Tongya looked attentive and nodded frequently. For a moment, he opened the door for the young man to talk and continued quickly:

"Seniors are very talented and have become qi refiners at a young age. Unlike these casual cultivators, they often hold a copy of the fetal breath technique for their entire lives. It is really miserable to draw a talisman to refine an elixir but have no inheritance.

!”

After hearing this, Li Tongya suddenly remembered the "Taiyin Breathing and Nourishing Wheel Sutra" at home, and thought to himself:

"I'm afraid this technique can't even bind the entire Wangyue Lake family together! Looking at this cultivation speed, it is at least more than ten times that of ordinary techniques, not to mention that the magic power produced is pure and solid, far better than others.

"

Pretending to be casual, Li Tongya smiled and sighed:

"I don't know what level of fetal breath technique that large sect disciple is practicing!"

The young man nodded heavily and said with a smile:

"I have been sailing on this lake for more than ten years. I have seen 20-year-old qi-training disciples from the great sect, but I have also seen a 90-year-old old man with the first level of fetal breath. I have only heard of Qingchi Sect's fetal breath technique.

It is the fifth-grade method that ranks first among all sects and is four times faster than ordinary techniques!"

"It's really amazing!"

Li Tongya was so amazed that he calmly changed the subject and chatted with the man about the mountain.

"I heard that the mountains to the west are very fierce!"

"No!"

The young man nodded repeatedly and showed off:

"I heard that the mountain king's cultivation has reached the peak of qi training! He killed all the boring gold sect families on the west bank and abandoned their armor. Three of the qi training family heads lost their lives, and the losses were countless."

While Li Tongya was listening, he saw a few more people on the boat. The young man had no choice but to reluctantly plead guilty and leave. Li Tongya thought to himself:

"Janixi is still very powerful. It would be better if he died quickly so that I wouldn't have to worry about sleeping peacefully."

Li Tongya listened to several people chatting for a while, then he felt the ship shake, and Wangyue Hufang City was already in front of him.

After getting off the boat and walking a few steps, Li Tongya mortgaged a spiritual stone and rented a stall. He put many materials on it, threw in a few talismans obtained from the murder, took out a wooden slip, and simply read the magic formula on the stall.

He has been studying talismans for more than ten years. The talisman he drew can only meet the standard of one out of ten, which is barely worth the cost of the talisman paper. If he added the talisman ink, it would still be a loss, so he had to continue practicing.

I keep it in the hope that one day I can earn money from this talisman.

After thinking about it carefully, he lowered his head and saw the storage bag and two gas bottles on his waist. Li Tongya roughly guessed how the boatman knew that he was a member of the family, so he took an inch of spiritual cloth and wrapped it around the gas bottles and stuffed them.

When I got into my arms, I looked like a casual cultivator now.

This time Li Tongya came early, and the flow of people was quite large. Almost all the items were sold out within an hour. He was too lazy to wait for the remaining items. He closed the stall, took back the spiritual stones, and paid the rental fee for ten kilograms of spiritual rice.

"I sold eleven spiritual stones, which is pretty good."

After spending five spiritual stones to buy the Jade Bud Pill, plus one obtained from the cave, Li Tongya thought that in a few months he could try to break through to the fourth level of Qi training.

"Although this Jade Bud Pill is good, the erysipelas should not be underestimated. You have to wait for a few more months until the erysipelas is naturally eliminated from the body before taking it again."

Li Tongya had only walked a few steps when he saw a middle-aged female cultivator walking in front of her. She had a fifth-level jade-wheel cultivation level. She looked about the same age as Li Tongya, but she held her hands respectfully.

"Senior! Do you still remember me?"

Li Tongya felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember his name, so he could only hold his hands in embarrassment and said:

"Excuse me, Your Excellency..."

"Guanyunfengfang City, Qingwu Gong."

The middle-aged female cultivator said with a smile, and Li Tongya suddenly realized that he had bought a Qingwu bow for Li Xiangping at the market at the foot of Guanyun Peak where he paid the tribute, and he bought it from this person. At that time, this person was still

The girl is now past middle age.

"I haven't seen you for more than ten years. How are you doing, fellow Taoist?"

Li Tongya was wondering why this person stopped him, but he was still greeting him.

The middle-aged female cultivator looked a little complicated and whispered:

"In just over ten years, senior has already practiced Qi..."

"It's just luck."

Li Tongya laughed aloud, then saw the female correction officer saying:

"I am Lin Jingyi, and my husband is Xu Yangping, a Qi practitioner."

"Li Tongya."

Li Tongya nodded and saw Lin Jingyi whispering:

"We have a cave ruins in our hands, senior, are you interested?"

"Cave?"

Li Tongya narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself:

"How can such a good thing happen! I can't wait to meet by chance. I have no friendship at all. There is no one I can trust. Could this person be here to trick me..."

"Oh? Such a good thing?"

Li Tongya laughed, and Lin Jingyi knew that he didn't believe it, so she quickly whispered:

"We have already investigated, and it is the cave of a foundation-building monk from at least two hundred years ago. We have the means to enter that cave, but there is one missing Qi-training monk..."

Li Tongya laughed and asked:

"Is it possible that a group of Fetus Breath Realm monks are unable to break through the Cave Formation, and they want me to take the lead?"

After saying that, he looked at her quietly and was ready to leave.

"That's not true."

Lin Jingyi lowered his head and smiled awkwardly, and replied:

"We already have two Qi practitioners, but we are still one point away from entering this cave."

As soon as he said this, Li Tongya believed it somewhat and was willing to sit down and talk with Lin Jingyi. The two of them found a bamboo building, ordered a cup of tea, and listened to Lin Jingyi say:

"My husband and I were originally active in the Mushroom Plains area. A few years ago, the Boring Gold Gate was invaded. The place was no longer inhabited and the market was closed. Fortunately, my husband had mastered Qi training, so we walked west to Wangyue Lake to see

look."

"Unexpectedly, just as we reached the west, we encountered a severe drought in Wangyue Lake. After retreating hundreds of miles, a cave in the lake was exposed.

"The cave has been operating for hundreds of years, and there are some flaws. Only then were we discovered. I cast a concealment spell on that place and then came to look for help."

"Oh."

Li Tongya nodded noncommittally and whispered:
To be continued...
