Baochuan Market.

Cave No. 37, C.

This is the cave that Fang Xi went directly to the market to rent after leaving the teahouse.

Only one low-grade spirit stone is needed a month, but the cave is very large, including a training room, a kitchen, a study room... It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

Moreover, the spiritual energy is quite abundant.

At least, for example, the place where he lived during the time of Lingnong was much richer, and he had reached the standard of first-level spiritual veins.

Hurry!

Fang Xi washed his body again and confirmed that there was no breath left.

Since he suffered a loss at the Bixue Python, he would have to take a few more baths every time he returned to the cave. He even bought a skin care liquid that female cultivators prefer to use in the market, claiming to be able to remove any odor on his body.

After feeling that he had almost washed away a layer of skin, he changed into clean clothes and sat cross-legged in the practice room.

Above the cushion, Fang Xi used the "Changchun Jue" technique, and a thin layer of green aura suddenly burst out from his body.

Feeling the powerful spiritual pressure from the outside world, the spiritual energy entered his body at a faster speed than usual, then passed through the meridians, and finally returned to the dantian Qi Sea and turned into a fog-state magic power cycle, Fang Xi couldn't help but feel a hint of joy on his face.

Under the operation of Changchun Jue, his whole body seemed to be full of vitality, and every inch of his muscles, fascia, and bones seemed like a hungry traveler, bathing in the rain from the sky.

Even though Changchun Art is in a bottleneck and difficult to break through, this wood-attribute magic power is also excellent for nourishing the body.

"Sure enough... the higher the concentration of the spiritual vein, the better the cultivation effect."

"If possible, it would be better to get a first-level spiritual vein land in the future... Unfortunately, it is very likely that it is impossible, and it is okay if it is not as good as the level..."

Fang Xi was preparing to stay in the treasure ship market for a few months, explore various ways, and then plan a spiritual place.

Even if there is a spiritual land, you must carefully survey the terrain, even know the surrounding forces, get familiar with the neighbors, and make complete preparations before you can plant tree species and start practicing the "Eternal Life Art".

All of this may take years.

Such a long time, of course, cannot be wasted.

That's why he rented a cave and wanted to focus more on the practice of Changchun Jue.

‘Prepare the worst…’

‘Even if the skills of the Changsheng Technique fail in the end, relying on persistent practice on the spiritual land, as long as the cultivation level of Changchun Jue is improved, you will still make a profit.’

After Fang Xi practiced Zhoutian, he began to think about the choice of spiritual land.

"The long-term rental of Lingdao launched by Longyu Zhong's family is indeed very attractive... As long as you rent it, you can pull it into a tiger's skin and get shelter, and it is guaranteed in terms of safety... Unfortunately, the price must be very high. I, a small monk on the fourth level of Qi Refining, suddenly took out a large spiritual stone. I rented it for decades, which was too eye-catching... and I have obtained the protection of the Zhong family. In the future, the Zhong family will transfer me to fight, will I obey my orders or not?"

"It is easy to start intrigue when joining a small Qi-refining force, but the freedom will also increase a lot..."

"It's better to be the one that is particularly weak, and then I will kill all the rebellion... I will occupy an island in a noble way, as long as I am not surrounded by demon cultivators..."

Fang Xi thought about the situation and felt speechless.

"Forget it... let's see if there is any chance... Be low-key and low-key in life."

Although the spiritual vein resources on Wandao Lake seem to be richer than Qingzhu Mountain, there are not always opportunities.

What's more...even if you have the chance, you don't prepare it for a mere 4th level of Qi refining.

Fang Xi thought about it and patted the storage bag again.

A roll of snake skin and a bundle of huge snake bones suddenly appeared on the ground.

The lines on the snake skin are dim and mottled, with scales.

The snake bones are ferocious, with a hint of heart-wrenching aura.

This is the skin and bones of the snake dragon!

"Things are good things, but they are a bit eye-catching. They have no trustworthy channels and are not easy to take action..."

Fang Xi touched his chin with a little regret.

In fact, he doesn't really want to sell this precious resource.

After all, from Miao Dong's performance, we can see that this snake dragon is completely a first-level top-grade material, and it is a bit of a loss when it is sold. The key is that he is not particularly lacking in spirit stones at present.

"Fortunately, the snake dragon is big enough...it doesn't matter if it's wasteful."

Fang Xi spread out the snake skin with snake scales. The snake skin has undergone preliminary treatment and does not have any fishy smell.

And he was very tough. He held the snakeskin with both hands and kept exerting force, and it was difficult to pull it apart.

He thought about it, held the "Golden Dragon Sword" in his right hand, pressed the tip of the sword against the snake skin, and the true energy moved, and finally cut the snake skin hard and drilled into small holes.

Then he used snake tendons to pass through and made an extremely simple inner armor.

After putting it on, I put on another layer of outer robe, and there was no clue at all.

"This is not a magic weapon... but it can also block most of the attacks, but it is difficult to save the attacks such as shock penetration. Fortunately, I am a physical cultivator and my body is strong, and I am not afraid of these secondary damage..."

Fang Xi looked at the snake bone again, but he was really helpless, so he still had to find a trustworthy weapon refiner.

Fortunately, I have settled down now, so I can buy some pills to assist in cultivation to see if I can break through the fifth level of Qi refining.

Moreover, you can spend a relatively long time looking for a weapon refiner with outstanding craftsmanship and good character.

...

The next day.

In the teahouse.

Fang Xi ordered another pot of spiritual tea from "Five Lis Playing with Pearls". While drinking tea, he listened to chatting with teamen around him. There was a lot of leisurely sitting and watching the flowers bloom and fall, watching the clouds roll and unfolding.

However, there is no major news this time. Most of them are small things such as a small matter such as a casual cultivator who has made a breakthrough in his cultivation, being promoted to the later stage of Qi refining, or someone is lucky enough to catch a spirit fish in the lake, etc.

After three times of tea brewing, the old Taoist Shuimu came here specially with a hint of joy on his face: "Fellow Daoist is so happy!"

"Oh? Why are you happy?"

Fang Xi asked back, but his heart suddenly moved.

Could it be that the spiritual land has been settled?

"This... is of course...hehe!" Old Taoist Kuroki smiled and pointed at the private room.

After a while, in the private room.

Fang Xi didn't even look at ordinary tea, but waited for the old Taoist Shuimu to speak.

"The old Taoist has received the instructions from fellow Taoists and has been inquiring about relevant information for fellow Taoists, and finally has a clear message!"

The old Taoist Shuimu said proudly: "The Dragon Fish Zhong family is expected to release two inequality spiritual island contracts this year. This is a great thing for becoming the lord of the island!"

"Oh? I don't know what's the requirement?" Fang Xi continued to ask without hesitation.

"Are you required? The first is to protect the mortals on the island from natural disasters and possible monsters... The second is to become a guest minister of the Zhong family. If necessary, you must take action for the Zhong family. Of course, the Zhong family will also provide compensation depending on the situation..." The old Taoist Shuimu smiled.

“How many years does the lease cost? How much does it cost?”

Fang Xi sighed in his heart. As expected, the big forces are not that easy to take advantage of, but although they have already rejected most of them, they still want to hear the price.

"One hundred spirit stones a year, rent them from ten years!" The old Taoist Shuimu looked at Fang Xi firmly.

‘A thousand spirit stones in ten years? If I take them out, I am afraid that this old Taoist Aoki Wood will have a bad idea!’

Fang Xi rolled his eyes in his heart, and a bitter smile appeared on his face: "It's so expensive? Forget it... I won't do this island owner, but Is there any other way?"

"Oh... it's a little expensive, but after becoming the island owner, the entire island will be developed. This is the foundation of many small families and small sects... However, it is indeed not suitable for fellow Taoists to be alone."

The old Taoist Shuimu sighed: "In addition... the owner of the 'Little Ye Island' in the Thirty-Six Island Alliance, Mr. Gui Ye, wants to recruit a guest minister for the sect. I told you about the situation of the fellow Taoist. The other party is very interested and promised to set aside ten acres of spiritual fields for the fellow Taoist to settle."

“Thirty-six Islands Alliance?”

Fang Xi had heard of this force, which was said to be a group of Qi-refining forces, confronting the Dragon Fish Zhong family. He didn't know what the specific situation was, so he asked directly.

"The so-called 'Thirty-Six Islands' is indeed one of the two major foundation-building forces on Wandao Lake... but it is a united force of a group of Qi refining forces. These Qi refining forces even have hatred and attack each other... Only when facing the pressure of the Zhong family, will they unite to the outside world..."

The old Taoist Shukimu stroked his beard and smiled and said, "The Thirty-Six Islands Alliance originally had no foundation-building monks, but he raised funds to hire a casual cultivator to build a foundation as a sacrifice. It was considered to be the other party's banner... The Zhong family has not intended to expand in recent years, so both parties are at peace."

"So that's it. What is Master Gui Ye's cultivation level? What kind of character is it? What kind of enemy forces are there?"

Since he opened a private room and paid for the spirit stone, Fang Xi naturally had to ask clearly.

"Master Guiye was originally a fisherman, but later he fell into the water and accidentally entered the cave of his predecessors. He obtained the inheritance of martial arts. He was a middle-grade spiritual root... Later, he practiced until the middle stage of Qi Refining, and killed the Ye family, which originally occupied Xiaoye Island, and established himself as the leader of the sect... have you heard of it much, but within his sect, there are probably no more than ten fingers of Qi Refining cultivators."

The old Taoist Sukiki seemed to be holding back his smile.

‘The sect with less than ten Qi Refining Cultivators? The sect leader is still in the middle stage of Qi Refining?’

Fang Xi couldn't help but feel itchy when he heard this.

But after thinking about it, he had to plant trees here for decades. It would be better not to make enemies.

Even if you kill all your enemies, your reputation will be easily besieged by the right path. This is not good!

Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth!

I muttered it several times in my mind, and finally became calm: "I wonder if this Xiaoyedao grade?"

"There is only a spiritual vein that is not as strong as the flowing spirit. There are many treasure ship markets with less spiritual energy!" Old Taoist Shuimu shook his head.

"this……"

Fang Xi thought for a while and said, "I'm a little moved. I wonder how to contact Mr. Gui Ye?"

The old Taoist Jiumu nodded. As he expected, the Lingnong would probably choose a Qi Refining Force to join: "Half a month later, Master Gui Ye will personally escort a batch of Lingji Treasure Shipyard for sale. If fellow Taoist is interested, he can discuss it in detail here. The old Taoist is the two of them..."

This was originally one of his business, and he could also get another commission!
