Immortal of Eternal Life and Endless Ages

Chapter 40: Market Opportunities (Seeking monthly tickets to read)

Three pieces of bad news piled up together.

The atmosphere within the Zheng family became even more depressing.

Seven days later.

Zheng Jinli, with a deathly look on his face, took the backbone of his family to Taihua Fairy City. He personally carried the coffin and brought the ancestor's remains back to Ziyan Valley.

Many members of the Zheng family were confused and couldn't help crying.

The many mourning halls set up for the tribesmen who died in the war had not yet been removed, but new mourning halls had to be set up in a hurry.

Fang Sheng went to burn a stick of incense.

Although he had never met this old man, he had worked tirelessly for the Zheng family over the years and even died in a foreign land for his family.

All these things really made him admire her.

At the same time, he also met the Zheng family's foundation-building seed, Zheng Chilong, for the first time.

Zheng Chilong, as described by others, has always been extremely confident and domineering.

When he was six years old, he discovered his medium spiritual root, which contained thirty-seven strands of Dao rhyme.

The next month, he squeezed out Taoist Shuimu and became the new foundation-building seed, receiving full training from the Zheng family.

Afterwards, after only practicing for more than twenty years, he had achieved perfection in Qi Refining.

This speed is more than ten years faster than others with the same qualifications!

It has even exceeded the scope of middle spiritual roots, and is somewhat approaching the cultivation speed of upper spiritual roots.

That is a qualification of sixty strands of Dao rhyme or above.

This speed of cultivation is terrifying.

However, this confident and even arrogant person now looks distraught and sits down in front of the tablet in the mourning hall.

Fang Sheng sighed inwardly.

With the vision of two lifetimes.

He could sense that this person's spirit had dissipated.

I’m afraid there will be no chance to build a foundation in the future.

"I heard that Zheng Chilong originally wanted to build his foundation directly in the first year after arriving at Taihua Immortal City."

'In the end, I was suppressed by the ancestors and the head of the family, and had to spend several years waiting for the foundation-building pill...'

As a result, even with the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, he still failed to establish his foundation.

The spirit that had been cultivated for decades collapsed in an instant.

The whole person collapsed.

……

"The Zheng family has begun to decline."

That night, Fang Sheng looked up at the sky from the Qingfeng Forest.

There were flying lights from imperial weapons coming from all directions, they were all from the Eastern Vein forces coming to pay tribute to the ancestor of the Zheng family.

Even the head of the He family came in person with his men.

He came to win over the Zheng family.

Because the Zheng family is no longer a threat.

Before, the Zheng family was able to argue strongly with the He family over the siege of Ziyan Valley.

I no longer have that confidence.

Ultimately, there is only one reason.

The Zheng family does not have its own foundation, so their fists are not as big as others.

"The dispute between Zheng and He is about to end."

"Even though a blood feud has already been formed, the Zheng family can only swallow their blood. The head of the Zheng family is a wise man..."

A month later.

The new news confirmed Fang Sheng’s guess.

The He family admitted that their initial siege of Ziyan Valley was inappropriate.

At the same time, the Zheng family was compensated with a pill workshop located in the newly built Shenhufang City.

Hundreds of cultivators in and outside the Purple Mist Valley, thousands of lives were lost, dozens of shops of all sizes were looted, and the future of a foundation-building seed was also lost.

In the end, all he got in return was a Danfang.

even……

"Shenhu Market was originally popular because of the Zheng family's elixirs..."

"This time, the Zheng family lost hundreds of years of accumulation."

Fang Sheng put down the letter sent by Acai.

In addition to telling the story of the He family, Ah Cai also talked about the things between him and Li Yin.

Half a year ago, Fang Sheng directly pointed out Li Yin's feelings for him in his reply. There was an awkward moment between the two, but they slowly adjusted back to their old ways.

By last month, the two had officially established their relationship.

"This is not bad. Ah Cai is a hardworking and honest person. It's good enough for him to settle down in the world of immortal cultivation."

As for the previous Master Li Fu, Fang Sheng looked down on his personality and character.

But as a person with mixed spiritual roots, it is actually very impressive that he can get to this point.

Fang Sheng took a few days out to copy the first-grade intermediate-quality jade slip of the talisman inheritance, which contained the contents of more than 10,000 books.

He planned to wait until the next time they met and give this skill to the young couple as a wedding gift.

Such valuable items can only be handed over in person; it is not safe to send them with a letter.

At the same time, Fang Sheng also attached several introductory books on talismans in his reply so that the two of them could lay a solid foundation.

……

A few days after I sent the letter back.

Taoist Shuimu came to the door with an unexpected person.

"Master Cangshui means that the alchemy workshop in Shenhu Market is equipped with an alchemy room, and you want me to go to the market with you to stay there?"

"Correct."

Master Cangshui smiled charmingly, moved lightly to Fang Sheng's side, and put his arm around his shoulder:

"After all, working with other old men is not as exciting as working with young people. Working with men and women is not tiring~"

"This opportunity is rare. Sister Cangshui fought for it especially for you~"

A faint fragrance quietly lingered between Master Cangshui's red lips and pearly teeth, and her gentle, mature and beautiful temperament was captivating.

Fang Sheng was calm and composed.

I didn't fall for this woman's trick at all:

"It's because we need a mid-level alchemist and an apprentice."

"Ao Yueru is also qualified for this position now, so I'd better not go out."

He shook his head and directly rejected this rare opportunity.

Alchemist Cangshui's beautiful eyes were stunned for a moment, and he was still thinking about persuading her a few more words.

Taoist Shuimu knew, however, that Fang Sheng always kept his word.

He did not waste any time and immediately stood up:
"Okay, it's almost the same when you make pills in Purple Smoke Valley."

Alchemist Cangshui suddenly felt bored, and with a click of his tongue, he stretched out his white jade finger and pointed at Fang Sheng.

Then he followed Taoist Shuimu to find Ao Yueru.

……

That night.

Ao Yueru came over, which was rare.

She had just returned from the alchemy room. The fresh fragrance of herbs lingered around her body, as if she was a fairy descending from the Moon Palace, with every step she took being lightly stepped on by moonlight.

At this moment, her lively eyes were filled with mixed emotions, difficult to discern:
"Mr. Fang, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"actually……"

"You are more qualified for this opportunity than I am."

Ao Yueru seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Finally I decided to speak my mind:
"Sometimes, cultivation requires a courageous and diligent spirit. If you keep standing still, you will never be able to break through the shackles."

Fang Sheng blinked.

He had just put down the talisman jade slip and opened the door, but Ao Yueru said a bunch of incomprehensible words.

It took me a while to understand:

"Do you want to give me back the chance to go to the Danfang?"

"Ah."

Ao Yueru nodded:

"I feel like you need this opportunity more. After you arrive at Shenhufang City, you may encounter greater opportunities."

Fang Sheng looked into her eyes and found that she truly felt that way and it was not a false feeling.

but……

Fang Sheng really didn't want to go there.

Opportunities and risks coexist. Even though Shenhufang City is guarded by a second-level formation, it is only relatively safe.

Moreover, this kind of security is limited within the market town.

Once you leave the market town and arrive at the secret realm, you will find complete chaos.

What is wrong with him that he has to gamble with his life?
It's simply not necessary.
