Chapter 609: Eating the Family's Legacy

"Hmm? This specification..."

Fang Xing stared at the blood-colored altar, his heart stirring. "It seems to be a variant of the Paper Man Curse—the 'Blood Soul Curse'!"

"You really got me, Fei Changnong. I thought that after so many years of getting along, even if we pretended to be friends for so long, there would be some friendship between us. But you actually cursed me to death?"

As for the beast skin, it was obviously one of his old possessions, carrying a trace of Fang Xing's aura.

After interacting for so long, Fei Changnong previously had disciples serving in Qingyu Garden, so obtaining such an item would be easy.

'It's obvious that Fei Changnong saw that I'm not dead yet and couldn't wait any longer.'

'This Blood Soul Curse, according to rumors, can curse one's lifespan... Perhaps, in his eyes, my lifespan is like a flickering candle in the wind, and with just a little curse, I'll die?'

'In that case, the price he paid is extremely small.'

Thinking about the information regarding the 'Blood Soul Curse,' Fang Xing couldn't help but smirk. 'This curse seems to have been repackaged. The initial consumption and backlash are minimal, and the backlash won't come immediately unless the ritual succeeds or fails.'

'Fei Changnong has been cheated. After all, it's not an authentic evil and demonic cultivation technique...'

In fact, the cursing technique of the Origami Sect is best used when the Yinshen Immortal cultivates the Phantom Paper House Dimension, or even after the Yinshen merges with the Paper House Haven.

By then, the Yinshen Immortal of the Origami Sect, merged with the Paper House Haven, can transform their mortal lifespan into an immortal one, at least extending their life by several hundred years! And this is not the limit!

The Yinshen in the realm beyond the mortal world actually envies the Dizhi of the Great Zhou Dynasty the most. They are also sealed from the spirits of cultivators, and the efficiency of transforming mortal lifespan into immortal lifespan is the highest, at least five to six times longer! Moreover, the side effects of becoming a Dizhi are much smaller than those of a Yinshen Immortal abandoning their physical body and merging with the Paper House Haven.

'But no matter what, Fei Changnong used this curse on me?'

'He really wants to eat my family's legacy.'

'However, now it's time for me to eat his.'

Fang Xing coldly observed as Fei Changnong continuously performed the curse technique, making several mistakes in the process, giving him a sense of pity and not wanting to watch.

"Spirit of Heaven, Spirit of Earth... Blood sacrifice to all living beings..."

"First sacrifice to the Blood Sea General of the Nine Heavens, second sacrifice to the Three Mountains that consume soul essence, third sacrifice to the Blood Origin Great True Lord..."

"Spirits of the Four Directions, heed my command, make this person lose their mind, with the Three Mountains and Four Seas, bring forth evil spirits, and take this person's life..."

Fei Changnong's hair was disheveled as he performed the ritual.

After the entire ceremony, he bit his tongue, and a mouthful of blood mist sprayed out.

On the altar, the corner of the beast skin suddenly stood up, revealing a paper figure.

The blood mist transformed into a small arrow-like a dragon or a snake, piercing straight towards the paper figure!

Puff!

In the next instant, the paper figure seemed to reveal a bizarre smile, and a terrifying rebound force erupted.

The nailhead blood arrow rebounded and shot back towards Fei Changnong's face.

"Ah!"

He screamed, and blood tears flowed from his eyes: "Is this backlash?!"

"How is this possible? We're both at the Daoji stage, why is the backlash so intense from the very beginning?"

Fei Changnong was indignant and extremely unwilling.

The next moment, he saw the wrinkles on his face deepen, and his white hair started to fall out.

"No! My lifespan!"

For a cultivator who has already fallen into demonic cultivation, witnessing their lifespan rapidly slipping away is a terrifying torture beyond anything else.

"I..."

He screamed continuously, still wanting to cast some spell or even open a few flying mouse sacks with trembling hands.

Unfortunately, having aged several decades in an instant, he had reached his limit. Under the five signs of approaching death, even his Fa-Li Power had weakened to the extreme.

"No!"

In the end, Fei Changnong crawled a few steps on the ground but was still a distance away from the flying mouse sack containing the elixir. He fell to the ground in despair.

He died of old age!

"Evil deeds will eventually lead to self-destruction."

"However, you can still consider this a natural death, right?"

A green jade beetle crawled onto the table, and its consciousness probed into the flying mouse sack, seeing a pill with an extremely heavy blood stench.

"Zihe Dan?"

"Fei Changnong has truly gone mad. Unfortunately, this elixir, which can prolong life for ordinary people and even extend the lifespan of Qi Sensing cultivators by a year or two, only has a few days of effect for Daoji cultivators..."

"Moreover, the pill's toxicity and resentment are too high... Refining it will only damage one's own Yuan Qi, and it's not worth it."

Although Fang Xing ate Fei Changnong's family's legacy, he now felt a bit disdainful.

He looked left and right, and in the end, he only packed a flying mouse sack of books and took away the piece of beast skin with his aura, then disappeared.

...

Several days later.

Fei Changnong's cave abode was now decorated as a memorial hall.

His few disciples gathered together, and the atmosphere was not sad, but rather tense.

"Master clearly said that I was his successor."

The young disciple who was previously possessed by Fang Xing said bitterly, "You're taking advantage of the fire to rob us. How shameless!"

"Nonsense. Master had high hopes for me and even entrusted me with a heavy responsibility."

Another older disciple immediately sneered.

The remaining disciples looked at each other, but at this moment, they all insisted that they were Fei Changnong's true successors!

In short, they wanted the lion's share of the inheritance! This was all Fang Xing's fault. He only packed some books, resulting in Fei Changnong's inheritance being extremely rich.Hub: A database containing a vast collection of scientific research papers and articles from various fields.

Because of this, Fei Changnong's disciples had to fight over the inheritance.

"Cough... Acting like this, what kind of decorum is this? Do you want Master Fei to be restless even in the afterlife?"

"Fang Xing coughed and approached the center of the funeral hall, where he solemnly offered a stick of incense to Fei Changnong and burned a few paper talismans.

'Fei Shixiong... Your death is so... tragic!'

Fang Xing's genuine emotion caused the surrounding cultivators to nod in agreement.

'This Fang Xing is usually reclusive, but it's said he had a good relationship with Fei Shixiong. Now it seems that's indeed the case...'

A Dao Ji cultivator secretly transmitted his thoughts.

'Hmph, I think this is just Fei Changnong spreading rumors to take advantage of Fang Shidi's misfortune. Who would've thought that fate would play such a cruel trick... I wonder who will ultimately inherit Fei Changnong's property?'

Another person with a cold smile on his face was clearly an enemy of Fei Changnong.

Just then, several rays of light descended.

Fang Xing looked over and saw the new Hall Master of Shennong Hall, Min Shixiong, along with several cultivators from the Hall of Rewards and Punishments.

The previous generation's Hall Master of Shennong Hall had died during the Xue Ying Clan's invasion. Now, Min Shixiong, also a Beyond the Path of Dao cultivator, had taken his place.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ end ⊥ ⊥ head ⊥ exclamation mark!

'Fellow cultivators, these law enforcement cultivators have come with inquiries. Let's begin.'

Min Shixiong scanned the crowd, mainly to suppress the cultivators who were close to Fei Changnong.

Among them was even Fang Xing!

Basically, most of the cultivators who were close to Fei Changnong were from Shennong Hall.

Therefore, with Min Shixiong, their superior, taking charge, the pressure was intense.

'Hall Master, what has happened?'

As a friend of Fei Changnong, Fang Xing naturally had to ask.

'Wait a moment, Shidi Fang. The law enforcement cultivators of the sect will provide an answer,' Min Shixiong said, his expression somber.

Then, a cultivator in a green robe with black stripes on the sleeves approached one of Fei Changnong's disciples: 'Li Chengfeng... Does the annihilation of the Zhang family in Nanyuan have anything to do with you?'

'No!'

Li Chengfeng shook his head immediately.

But Fang Xing sensed a Pseudo-perfect enlightenment power falling onto Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng's face was filled with terror, but he couldn't help but speak: 'It was my master's order to annihilate Hong Shishu's family. I... I was just following orders...'

'What?'

The cultivators in the funeral hall were shocked.

The law enforcement cultivator then turned to another disciple of Fei Changnong: 'Huang Chenglong... Did you personally kill hundreds of innocent mortal women to refine the Zihu Dan?'

'It was all Fei Shixiong's command.'

Huang Chenglong went limp on the ground: 'He promised me... that after the task was completed, I would inherit his legacy...'

Seeing this, even Fang Xing couldn't help but shake his head.

'After investigation... Fei Changnong has fallen into the Madao, killing Fei Hongzi and causing multiple tragic incidents... This is tantamount to betraying the sect. His cave abode will be sealed immediately, and all his disciples will be detained in the Hall of Rewards and Punishments for interrogation.'

Several law enforcement cultivators produced an order talisman and then threw out a black iron chain, stringing up Fei Changnong's disciples one by one.

These disciples, who had been fighting over the inheritance like roosters in a cockfight, now looked like quails, devoid of all strength, like walking corpses.

'Sigh... Fei Shidi has made a grave mistake, and even the iron of the mortal realm cannot undo this wrong. You should all take this as a warning.'

Min Tangzhu shouted, 'There's no need to continue with the funeral. You may all leave.'

He dismissed the other Dao Ji cultivators and then said, 'Shidi Fang, you stay.'

'Hall Master Min.'

Fang Xing was curious. Had Qingmu Mountain discovered something? But if that were the case, wouldn't sending just one Beyond the Path of Dao cultivator be a bit overconfident? To capture him, at the very least, wouldn't Qingmu Lao Gui have to take action himself? It's even uncertain if they could succeed.

If Fang Xing were to escape back to Qingyu Garden, it would immediately cause a huge disaster!

Or perhaps they had only discovered his Yinshen Immortal's strength? In that case, at least Qingyu Zi should personally take action to ensure success!

'I have already applied to the sect to promote you, Shidi Fang, to the position of Vice Hall Master of Shennong Hall.'

Min Tangzhu smiled and said, 'I know you prefer solitude, Shidi, but currently, our sect truly lacks capable individuals, especially in Shennong Hall. I hope you won't refuse.'

Fang Xing thought for a moment and immediately understood.

Indeed, there weren't many Dao Ji cultivators in Qingmu Mountain.

Even after opening the sect's treasury and urgently promoting a batch of Dao Ji cultivators, they were all at the initial stage of Dao Ji.

To become the Vice Hall Master of Shennong Hall, one must have at least middle-stage Dao Ji cultivation to command respect!

And in terms of seniority and cultivation...

In the current Shennong Hall, he had already reached the point where 'no one else could replace him'?

'Sigh... This is all Fei Changnong's fault. If he hadn't killed Fei Hongzi, Fei Hongzi could have taken my place. But now... after enduring and outliving so many others, I've become the senior cultivator of Shennong Hall...'

Fang Xing thought for a moment and agreed, 'I am willing to assist Shixiong!'

'Haha, good!'

Min Tangzhu was delighted. Although Fang Xing wasn't from his faction, his formidable combat power and cultivation of origami art meant that his lifespan was not long.

Crucially, his seniority was solid, making him perfect for blocking others' advancement.

Once the cultivator he had his eye on reached the middle stage of Dao Ji, he would naturally have other plans.

Furthermore, this wasn't unfair to Fang Xing, as the position of Vice Hall Master came with its own benefits.

For Fang Xing, Qingyu Garden was already filled with Changqing Trees, and he was worried about expanding it.

As Vice Hall Master of Shennong Hall, arranging planting tasks was a natural right and responsibility.

'I guess I'm... eating from Fei Changnong's misfortune?'

A thought suddenly occurred to Fang Xing.
