Chapter 130: The Purple Kite Immortal City

"Within the state of Zheng, the Qingxu Sect relies on the False Golden Elixir Real Person and the Grand Formation of the sect to barely hold onto their territory..."

"The supervisor of Heitian Guan is only at the perfect foundation stage, and has already completely turned to the Wanbeast Sect..."

"With both factions submitting, the Wanbeast Sect has become the overlord of the state of Zheng..."

In a teahouse, Fang Xing sipped his tea while pondering the intelligence he had gathered.

'The Wanbeast Sect probably wanted to annihilate both sects, but later hesitated due to the potential for massive losses and other concerns, ultimately settling for their submission instead.'

'For now, the state of Zheng remains stable, without the chaos of the cultivation world. It's a good opportunity to explore.'

'If things get too turbulent, I can always head to the state of Qi. After all, the Sky Sword Sect is a righteous sect, and there are rumors of a Nascent Soul cultivator residing there. They should have ample cultivation resources.'

Fang Xing left the teahouse and visited several shops dealing in magical artifacts, pills, and books to get a sense of the market. He purchased several guidebooks on spiritual creatures and treasures of the world, but instead of settling down, he ventured out of the market district.

After traveling just a few miles, he sighed, "Come out!"

His call was met with silence; no one responded.

Fang Xing sighed again, "You've ruined the positive impression of the cultivation world that I had just barely established thanks to Shuwanwan."

Now that he thought about it, life in the main universe might involve going to war, and it could be tiring... But aside from that, one didn't have to worry about getting killed or robbed while traveling. If it weren't for the attacks by the Evil God's followers, it would truly be a paradise compared to the cultivation world.

"If I turn dark in the future, you all will bear the main responsibility."

After his sigh, Fang Xing made a hand seal, and a shield made of black iron flew out from his embrace, transforming into a pitch-black shield that guarded his side.

"This babbling kid has really discovered us!"

Not far away, the air shimmered, revealing a group of four cultivators who specialized in ambushing others.

Two were at the middle stage of qi refinement, one at the late stage, and one at the great perfection stage!

As soon as they appeared, the four of them wasted no time. Multi-colored lights flashed as they enveloped themselves in protective barriers, some using golden King Kong talismans, while others relied on magical artifacts for defense.

Among them, the female cultivator at the middle stage of qi refinement took out a pink pearl and started chanting. The pearl emitted puffs of pink mist, quickly covering the area within a few hundred meters.

The late-stage qi refinement cultivator's eyes glinted, and he secretly manipulated a yellowish needle, sending it skimming across the ground, using the cover of the mist to launch a sneak attack.

This was their signature move as ambushers, and they had used it to kill countless cultivators.

But the next moment!

A flash of golden light, and the yellowish needle was sliced in two by a golden sword light, falling harmlessly to the ground.

The sword light appeared abruptly, as fierce as a charging bull.

"Ah!"

The female cultivator who had summoned the pink pearl screamed as her King Kong talisman was shattered. A flying sword pierced her heart, ending her life instantly!

"Not only an upper-grade flying sword, but its owner is also a sword cultivator?"

The great perfection stage cultivator exclaimed in shock. Only a true sword cultivator could infuse their sword light with such sharpness, capable of piercing through a King Kong talisman and then striking down a cultivator.

In truth, Fang Xing was not a sword cultivator, but his spiritual sense was exceptionally attuned to metallic spiritual energy, causing his spiritual power to naturally carry a sharp edge, giving the illusion of a sword cultivator.

He felt some regret; if he had known that this person was a battle immortal, he wouldn't have come on this trip.

However, for the sake of building his foundation, he still needed to gather as many spirit stones as possible.

The old man at the great perfection stage of qi refinement produced a small drum and struck it forcefully.

Dong! Dong!

The dull beats of the drum caused the flying sword that had been darting about to tremble slightly.

"Good!"

Upon seeing this, the remaining late-stage and middle-stage qi refinement cultivators' eyes lit up. Each of them wielded a magical artifact and charged towards Fang Xing, taking advantage of the dissipating mist.

In response, Fang Xing let out a cold laugh.

Unbeknownst to them, a young man had appeared in front of Fang Xing.

This young man reached out, and the two incoming magical artifacts—a sword and a knife—slammed into his palms, sending sparks flying.

"Magical artifacts?"

Fang Xing's true body laughed coldly. With a powerful twist of his hands, he snapped the sword and the knife in two.

"Ah... He's a foundation establishment physical cultivator?"

"We failed to recognize a true alchemist; please spare our lives, Senior!"

The middle-stage qi refinement cultivator's expression crumbled, and he immediately knelt down.

The late-stage and great perfection stage cultivators, however, remained silent and turned to flee.

"Hmph!"

Fang Xing snorted coldly, not bothering to throw a punch. Instead, he unleashed the most intense martial will, which transformed into a dragon and a tiger that roared forth.

On the ground, the kneeling middle-stage qi refinement cultivator screamed in terror, his courage failing him, resulting in his death!

The other two qi refinement cultivators froze for a moment, but when they snapped back to their senses, Fang Xing was already in front of them, pointing a finger.

This finger was as white as jade and light as a feather, yet it easily penetrated the shield defense artifact of the late-stage qi refinement cultivator, touching his brow.

The late-stage cultivator's brain immediately exploded, and his body fell backward.

"Yun'er..."

The old cultivator at great perfection stage glared with fury and shock.

He had encountered foundation establishment cultivators before and had witnessed the prowess of second-stage physical cultivators.

But this person seemed to be far beyond the early foundation establishment stage, casually dispatching two of his companions!

'Could it be... that heaven intends to destroy me?'

The old cultivator's heart shattered, and then his head was grabbed by Fang Xing and crushed into his chest...

Fang Xing's true body stood motionless and tossed over two storage bags.

The doppelganger immediately walked forward with a smile, taking out the Xuanyin Bell and the Tier 2 Flaming Divine Thunder Talisman to wear, and then began to touch the corpses...

"We've finally arrived in this familiar wilderness. Where do we go next?"

Fang Xing looked towards a direction where the Qingxu Sect's mountain gate was located.

If Meng Zi could successfully join the Qingxu Sect, then Shen Yuxin should also be there.

Perhaps, Ding Bushan and Ding Hongxiu, the grandfather and granddaughter, were also there.

'All that is past now...'

'They are just acquaintances, after all. If we are fated to meet again, we will. If not... then so be it.'

'With my current talent, I should be able to join a sect of immortals... But I still need to consider my options.'

'Perhaps I can join after reaching the Foundation Establishment like Su Ye. Although the benefits and treatment aren't as good as those of direct disciples, at least I won't have to worry about secret spirit root inspections...'

Fang Xing shook his head, and his domain power emerged, lifting him into the air along with his cultivator doppelganger. "Since we're here, let's go to the largest market in the State of Zheng first."

Swoosh!

With his domain power and the Skywalking Step, he became a stream of light, heading towards the heart of the State of Zheng.

Along the way, mortals knelt down one after another as if they were witnessing a celestial being.

Even cultivators dared not provoke him when they saw Fang Xing flying with his physical body, knowing that he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

...

Purple Kite Immortal City.

This city of loose cultivators was located in the heart of the State of Zheng, at the junction of the Qingxu Sect, Heitian Guan, and the Wanbeast Sect.

Its city lord, 'Ziyuan Zhenren', was a legendary loose cultivator with superior spiritual roots. However, for some unknown reason, he had not joined any sect and instead became a loose cultivator.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment, he gradually became famous and was initially expected to become the first loose cultivator in the State of Zheng to achieve the Golden Core.

However, he was somehow tricked and his source was damaged. In the end, he could only condense a fake core at around 150 years old, taking the name 'Ziyuan' and occupying this spiritual vein to establish the 'Ziyuan Immortal City'.

A hundred years had passed since then.

As the holy land in the hearts of loose cultivators in the State of Zheng, Ziyuan Immortal City not only had a third-grade spiritual vein but also provided access to a second-grade spiritual cave for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Moreover, there were several Tier 2 pill concoctors in Ziyuan City who could accept the task of refining Foundation Establishment pills.

Over the past hundred years, almost every ten years or so, there would be loose cultivators who successfully reached Foundation Establishment in the Immortal City.

When Fang Xing arrived, he saw a mountain city located in a mountain col, with undulating terrain and mist shrouding its surroundings.

'Judging by its size, it's just a slightly larger town... Calling it an Immortal City is a bit of a stretch...'

'Usually, a true Immortal City should have at least one Golden Core cultivator, right?'

'But when there's no tiger in the mountain, the monkey is the king. So be it.'

Fang Xing landed from mid-air, wearing a bamboo hat to conceal his appearance, and proceeded with his cultivator doppelganger.

'Now that the State of Zheng is almost unified by the Wanbeast Sect... I feel like the prospects of Ziyuan Immortal City aren't too great... If things aren't stable here, then I'll have to go to the State of Qi.'

At the gate of Ziyuan Immortal City, there were law enforcement cultivators wearing artifact armor.

When they saw Fang Xing and his doppelganger, one of them spoke up, "The entrance fee is one spirit sand per person!"

Another cultivator holding a detection artifact glanced at Fang Xing's main body and sneered, "Even for a martial artist!"

In their eyes, this was just a Qi Refinement cultivator and his martial artist servant.

Martial artists could act arrogantly and dominate in the secular world, but in the cultivation world, they were of little significance.

It was common for Qi Refinement cultivators to deceive and use martial artists as their servants.

Fang Xing didn't bother to explain, as in the cultivation world, having a cultivator handle matters was more effective than a martial artist.

He followed the local customs and had his cultivator doppelganger pay the entrance fee of two spirit sands before entering Ziyuan Immortal City.

The scale of Ziyuan Immortal City was, of course, much larger than Qinglin Market, and most of its visitors were cultivators, with very few martial artists.

Fang Xing first went to rent a cave abode; he didn't need anything too flashy, so an upper first-grade one would be fine.

With this, he also obtained a cave abode token, which could protect up to three people. With this token, they could stay in Ziyuan Immortal City until the rental period ended.

Then, he started to explore the city, beginning with the bookshops, where he bought almost all the guides and spirit creature and treasure compendiums available.

After that, he went to an elixir shop to inquire about elixirs suitable for body refinement.

Ziyuan Immortal City was indeed extraordinary, as they even had elixirs suitable for second-grade body cultivators.

Fang Xing bought some of each type, planning to use the 'Myriad Transformation Cauldron' to remove the elixir toxins before trying them one by one when he returned.

...

Blue Star University, Dormitory.

Fang Xing sat cross-legged with several jade bottles in front of him.

"Ziyuan Immortal City is indeed the holy land for loose cultivators, as they even have elixirs for second-grade body cultivators..."

"Among these, the 'Tiger Demon Body Refinement Elixir' has effects similar to 'Boiling Blood', while the rest are not as good as 'Boiling Blood'..."

"But this last one..."

He picked up a jade bottle and dripped out a drop of viscous emerald green liquid.

"...Bodhi Saliva, a second-grade elixir formula created by a pill concoctor who imitated the legendary Nine-Eyed Bodhi. Its effects are not as good as the real Nine-Eyed Bodhi, but..."

"However, it is beneficial for cultivating the Great Golden Light Prajna Divine Power..."
