This is how immortals are cultivated

[You received a spiritual peach from the spirit of the thousand-year-old spiritual tree.]

[This spiritual peach bears fruit once every thousand years and can greatly increase one's lifespan and improve one's cultivation.]

The peaches are covered with spiral patterns, which look more like a heart than a peach, and look extremely evil.

But after falling into Fang Suichu's hands, it actually exuded a rich fruity fragrance of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

As Fang Suichu opened his mouth, the peach flesh turned into juice and was swallowed by him, and in the end only a fist-sized blood-red fruit core was left.

[The seeds of the Peach Spiritual Tree grow faster in places with richer spiritual energy.]

"It's a good thing, suitable to be planted outside the worship hall."

Fang Suichu tossed the fruit core in his hand, and then put it into his ring with satisfaction.

I can only say that new places are good. Unlike the areas around Linge County which have already been developed, there are no more resources to be found.

But here there are resources everywhere, which are of great value.

Not to mention, the map in my mind directly marks the location of each resource.

It took only an hour after arriving at this new place, but Fang Suichu's storage ring had already accumulated a lot of spiritual materials and spiritual objects.

"Then it is the last place in Huaqi County."

Fang Suichu is now located under the jurisdiction of the prefecture, within the county of Huaqi.

Within Jingzhou, the Chong'an Prefecture of the Wu State was divided into sixteen counties.

It surrounds the provincial capital and is divided into four directions: east, west, south and north, with four counties closely connected to each other.

Fang Suichu had the habit of enjoying the best things last, so he cleared the area around Huaqi County, and then the next step was Huaqi County.

Fang Suichu looked towards the horizon ahead.

In the distance, a huge crowd of people gathered there.

In the counties under the rule of the Wu court, the weather showed a gray-black color. Now the base color is still gray-black, but it is mixed with a strong blood color.

As luck and fortune gathered together, the shape of a lotus flower was faintly revealed.

"The White Lotus Demon Cult's invasion of Jingzhou truly harbors ill intentions. They're clearly here to seize our territory."

The laws of the Wu Kingdom in Jingzhou are on the verge of collapse, and now they can only occupy the Chong'an Prefecture. Now there is a new trend of gathering popularity in Huaqi City, which means that the White Lotus Demon Cult has already settled in the city.

Fang Suichu withdrew his gaze and soared into the air.

More than ten minutes later, he landed on the official road outside the city.

The gray city was just ahead, and it was quiet inside with a dull silence.

Just as Fang Suichu stopped to look at the weather, he heard the neighing of horses and carriages behind him.

A white mist suddenly appeared above the official road, covering the entire team.

Men and horses emerged faintly from the fog, and soldiers in white armor could be vaguely seen among them.

Fang Suichu even saw through this team and saw that it was a group of soldiers.

The soldiers were tall and mighty, all about two meters tall and with strong builds.

The whole body was protected by white armor, and even the face was covered by a visor with a white background and silver patterns.

These armors are of the same style, but are not made of gold or iron. Instead, they have a biogenic feel, like white exoskeletons growing out of flesh and blood.

The team leader was a much more burly figure, and his armor was thicker and more refined. He carried a chess piece with a white lotus pattern on his back and held a large spear in his hand.

Under him were a group of horse-like monsters, completely hairless with milky white skin exposed. Their mouths were jellyfish-like, and their dense tentacles fluttered in the wind.

The white mist seeped out from the breath of the soldiers and enveloped the humans being escorted inside.

These humans, men, women, young and old, had their right feet tied together at the ankles with ropes.

These people were dressed in cloth, with numb and desperate expressions. They seemed to be villagers from the villages around Huaqi City. Whole villages were escorted in batches to the city.

Fang Suichu was right in the middle of the road, just blocking the team's way.

The knight at the head of the team obviously also discovered Fang Suichu, but he had no intention of stopping the team. Instead, he rode the strange horse straight forward.

The eyes beneath the knight's visor were looking at Fang Suichu.

When the knight was only three steps away from Fang Suichu, the knight's voice finally came from behind the visor.

"Escaped from the city?"

Fang Suichu's aura was concealed, but he looked like an ordinary person. He was also dressed in a brocade robe, like a young master from a wealthy family. The knight simply thought he was someone who had managed to escape from the city.

"The altar master has issued a decree that only people can enter Huaqi City and not leave..."

"Those who disobey the order...die!"

Along with a cold and emotionless voice, the white mist rolled and a large white gun emerged from the mist.

The tip of the bone spear pierced Fang Suichu's head. If it were an ordinary person, his head would have been blown off.

But the shot was intercepted the moment it was fired.

What intercepted it was... a finger?

Under the white fingertips, the tip of the gun was ground into powder, and the force rose from the tip of the gun and flowed down.

In the blink of an eye, the entire spear turned into powder and dissipated in the knight's hand with the wind.

However, the power did not disappear. From the gauntlet of the knight's gun-wielding hand, the erased power reappeared, like an invisible monster that was like a thorn in the flesh, silently devouring anyone who came into contact with it.

The knight's gauntlets were stripped off in an instant, from his hands to his arms, from his arms to his body armor, down to his torso and legs, and up to his head.

The bloody muscles were exposed, just like the skin of a shrimp that had been boiled and then peeled.

The knight fell from the strange horse to the ground, and when he fell to the ground, one of his feet stepped on his chest. When the foot stepped down, the knight's body exploded like a crushed berry, splashing everywhere and forming a pool of meat sauce on the road.

And when Fang Suichu crushed the knight, spears were thrown from all directions - these soldiers did not seem to be surprised or frightened by this scene. They were so calm that they attacked Fang Suichu together like programmed machines.

Of course, it's still useless.

Fang Suichu just waved his hand, and the soldiers' movements stopped, and then their bodies broke apart, along with the bone armor growing from their skin, turning into minced meat on the ground.

The white mist gradually dissipated, replaced by a crimson ground.

The villagers escorted by this team of soldiers saw the scene clearly but did not celebrate or cheer for the soldiers' death. Instead, they knelt on the ground trembling, with fear and despair rising in their hearts.

This fear and despair are naturally directed at Fang Suichu.

They did not seem to think that they had escaped, but rather that they had fallen into the hands of an even more terrifying demon.

Looking at this scene, Fang Suichu's face darkened.

When the villagers saw Fang Suichu's gloomy face, their fear became even stronger.

But they saw the demon in front of them turn around and look at the city behind them.

After the White Lotus Demon Cult occupied Huaqi City, the city seemed to have turned into a devil's prison that devoured human lives.

The villagers only heard angry voices:

"He's not afraid of me. He's no ordinary cultivator. I can't hesitate any longer. I must kill him ruthlessly."

PS: It is not divided into chapters, so it is considered two-in-one, and it will be available in the evening.

Chapter 140: Just Survive

"Sir, the altar has been built, and we have trained eight hundred White Lotus Soldiers to descend from the altar. If I give you another ten months, I will definitely have three thousand."

In Huaqi City, inside a temple in the center.

The temple was newly built by demolishing the original Huaqi County Government building and building on its site.

The courtyard was paved with bluestone, and the temple itself lay just ahead. Five-foot-square nanmu pillars supported the triple-tiered roof, and bronze wind chimes hung from the eaves. A white marble pedestal, painted with flowing cloud patterns, spiraled around the stone pillars. Above, twelve columns with vines and flowers were carved from a single block of bluestone, featuring overlapping vine patterns and stamens carved at the nodes. Embellished with pigeon-blood stone, they shone a dark red.

The entire temple was damp. The courtyard, steps, pillars, thresholds, and eaves were all splashed with dark red liquid. It seemed that the liquid was splashed every once in a while. Under the sticky liquid that had not yet dried up, there was a layer of dried dirt.

Entering the temple again, the air was filled with incense and smoke.

Above the main hall, long strips of white bones are piled up, forming a dodecagonal structure that resembles a lotus platform, with a painting of a gilded white lotus located in the center.

Inside the temple, there are eighteen human-sized statues standing on both sides. The statues are brightly colored and have different clothes and costumes, but the texture is not like ordinary wood carvings or clay sculptures. They have the elasticity and firmness of flesh and blood.

In the center of the temple, a statue more than three meters high is enshrined on the altar.

The image of the deity seems to be a woman, with a towering bun adorned with pearls and jade, a lotus flower on the center of the brow, a flowing necklace hanging in front of the forehead, and a pure white flowing cloud robe. Eight hundred lotus flowers are densely arranged between the shawl ribbons, and each petal seems to contain a secret message the size of a sesame seed.

However, this statue has no face, it is faceless.

On the altar in front of the shrine, three blood incense sticks were lit in a bronze incense burner, and in front of the incense burner were three jade plates containing sacrificial offerings, which were bloody internal organs.

The smoke from the burning blood incense rose up and hovered in front of the statue, making it even more ethereal and mysterious.

But if an ordinary person closes his eyes and opens them again at a certain moment, he will see a terrifying scene.

However, the statue's luxurious hair turned into sticky seaweed-like silk threads, and its body was like a huge soft-bodied biological tissue, oozing with colorful pus.

The faceless face turned into a deep black, but the black was dotted with stardust, flowing like a nebula.

Under the statue, a Taoist in white clothes and a lotus crown is bowing, holding three red incense sticks in his hands between his long sleeves. The smoke from the burning incense sticks does not entangle with the incense in the temple, but is clearly separated and coiled in front of the Taoist, vaguely forming a human statue.

"well done."

A voice that only this Taoist priest could hear rang in his ears, as if it was far away in the sky, yet seemed to be very close.

"The Taizhou incident is nearing its end. My sect has completely gained the upper hand in the overall situation. All we need to do now is to slowly digest it."

"I will also come to Jingzhou in the near future to determine the overall situation of Jingzhou."

"Ten thousand soldiers and horses of the Lower Altar White Lotus and fifty generals of the Middle Altar Golden Lotus who are enshrined as gods, ghosts and spirits are more than enough to conquer Chong'an Prefecture."

Hearing this, the Taoist quickly offered the horse, his words full of flattery.

However, the tone of the person who contacted him was still majestic, without any relaxation.

"Taizhou was locked down by the 'Supervisory Minister' of the Imperial Academy, making communication difficult previously. Now that the Holy Lord has gained the upper hand and torn open a corner of the seal, we are now able to contact you."

"There are still variables in the Jingzhou incident. The day before yesterday, Wuqiu's soul tablet shattered, and his soul has already been scattered."

"It seems that the Wu Kingdom still has a backup plan in Jingzhou. Be careful."

"Fa Lian, I don't ask for your merits, but I ask for your avoidance of mistakes. When I arrive, Jingzhou will naturally belong to our sect, and you will all be rewarded."

"Yes..."

Taoist Fa Lian bowed deeply.

"Congratulations, my lord."

As he moved, the incense stick in his hand went out, and the human figure condensed by the fragrance also disappeared into thin air.

Putting the remaining part of the incense stick into his mouth, Taoist Fa Lian chewed it greedily. After swallowing it, he touched his chin.

"Brother Wuqiu is in trouble?"

This group of White Lotus Sect members were sent to Jingzhou a long time ago to lurk and plan in response to the Holy Religion's plan.

Of course they knew each other, but they had less contact before. It was not until Mr. Taohua tore up the laws of the Wu Kingdom that they resumed contact.

He had just received news not long ago that Taoist Wuque had begun to create a barrier to block the power of ghosts and gods in the western part of Jingzhou, preparing to avenge Mr. Taohua and take over the four western counties at the same time.

But he didn't expect that Senior Brother Wujiu was in serious danger at this time.

"Linge County has a big problem."

If Senior Brother Taohua died there, it could be explained as an accident.

If Senior Brother Wujiu still failed in Nalinge County after contacting many ghosts and gods, it means that there is an elaborate trap there.

Speaking of which, although the laws of the Wu Kingdom were broken and even the Chongai Prefecture was blockaded and trapped, the Jingzhou area was really not that easy to take.

Not to mention that three messengers of the Holy Church had died in Linge County, let’s just talk about the four counties in the south. Another senior brother was also blocked there, and the White Lotus Dharma was unable to make any progress.

Fortunately, the area I was in charge of had been successfully taken over, and the altar had been opened in time, making use of the resources here for timely conversion and accumulation.

Even if the Wu Kingdom sent a large army into Jingzhou, he, the Taoist Fa Lian, was confident that he could hold out for a while in the face of the attack.

Not to mention that the adult will be visiting Jingzhou soon.

That gentleman has a noble status in the church and has a respectable title. Moreover, that respectable title represents the position of killing in the church. He is the weapon of the Holy Mother and is in no way comparable to ordinary spiritual secrets.
