Arowana Island.
Fang Xi stood on the pier, looking at the departing ship, and was silent.
He had just sent Yan Hongxiu away.
This woman is over seventy years old, and her health has not been good since her last failure to build a foundation.
Even as time passes, the effects of the 'Fixing Pill' gradually fade away.
After all, this elixir is only a second-level elixir, and it can only maintain your appearance for decades...
In addition, the head of the Yan family, Yan Dongqing, recently came to visit, so Fang Xi followed the trend and agreed to Yan Hongxiu's farewell request.
This woman wants to return to Lingkong Island to retire, and with her strength in the late stage of Qi refining, she can also help the family a little.
"It's a pity...his life is short..."
Fang Xi shook her head and withdrew her consciousness.
The slaves beside him, Xia Houying, actually had the same problem, but they all had solutions.
"Son..."
Fang Xi turned around and saw a young female nun with a sweet smile, charming eyes, and eyes that looked like she could talk.
"Yan Ying, after you go back, learn from Xia Houying..."
Fang Xi waved her hand. This woman came with Yan Dongqing, saying she wanted to take Yan Hongxiu's place.
Her appearance was better than that of Yan Hongxiu, and she seemed to have received special training, which made him very satisfied.
…
Occasionally having fun with young people makes Fang Xi feel good.
After all, although his body has always been very young, his mind often changes.
Spending time with young people made him feel much younger at heart.
"After all, I am an old man over one hundred and forty years old..."
"Well, compared to my long life, I am only a teenager..."
In Evergreen Pavilion, Fang Xi was wearing clothes and looking at the outside scenery.
Suddenly, he looked towards the north of Wandao Lake, his eyebrows slightly raised.
…
A few days later, an explosive news spread in Wandao Lake.
Ancient ruins discovered in Wandao Hubei region!
Because the news of the discovery of the ruins was so big that even Liu Sanqi couldn't cover it up, a large number of monks discovered it, and then the news swept in all directions like a wave!
It even spread to the Yue Kingdom in a short period of time and spread to Bai Zexian City, Mu Kingdom, and Wu Kingdom.
For casual cultivators, exploring the ancient secret realm is a journey that coexists with opportunities and risks. Many cultivators flocked here, making Wandao Lake, which had just been peaceful for a short time, look like a storm is about to come again.
Inside Evergreen Pavilion.
Fang Xi was sitting in the main seat, next to Ruan Xingling and Zhong Hongyu, who were listening to Liu Sanqi's account of his own experiences.
"in this case……"
Ruan Xingling held a glass of green bamboo wine in her hand: "The ban on the Emerald Island means that even fellow Taoists in the middle stage of foundation building cannot break into it?"
Emerald Island is the name given by the monks to the island where the ruins are located.
Because the forbidden aura is cyan, it looks like a huge piece of emerald from a distance, hence its name.
"exactly……"
There was still some lingering fear on Liu Sanqi's face: "But even after searching in the outermost area, I found several rare spiritual herbs, which shows that the resources in the Emerald Island ruins are rich... According to my observation, along with As time passes, those originally broken restrictions will lose their power to restrict our entry, and the ruins will eventually be opened..."
"Wandao Lake is so troubled..."
Fang Xi sighed.
The four major foundations here were originally the all-powerful ones in Wandao Lake. However, when the news of the ruins spread, maybe there were foundation masters from neighboring countries who came to explore the secrets, and it was really a mess.
"Fellow Daoist Fang, Fellow Daoist Ruan, Fellow Daoist Zhong... I have a lot of experience in identifying and finding elixirs, would you like to meet up?"
Liu Sanqi extended the invitation.
Although his cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation building, his magical power is not as good as that of Ruan Xingling. Naturally, he is afraid of ruins and other dangers. Therefore, he proposed, mainly because he wanted to win over Fang Xi, the number one monk in Wandao Lake!
After all, the last time this person had the ability to overcome the late stage of foundation building, his magical powers were common in the Yue Kingdom and he could avoid many dangers.
In addition to the forbidden traps, the most dangerous things while exploring the ruins are other monks!
"Are you looking for secrets?"
Fang Xi thought about it for a while. It seemed that she had never tried exploring ancient ruins before.
pity……
He shook his head: "I have no interest in the ruins..."
"What?" Liu Sanqi was very surprised: "We, the casual cultivators, have no resources, and our cultivation is stuck at a bottleneck. Now is a God-given opportunity... Emerald Island happens to be in Wandao Lake. We can jointly explore it, and we can take advantage of it." The location is favorable! Maybe... there are spiritual objects suitable for us and others to achieve breakthroughs in cultivation, or even form pills!"
‘I wanted to too…but it’s a pity that I can’t go. ’
'Besides...even if there are five-element fruit trees among them, it's not as important to me as my safety...'
‘On Dragon Fish Island, relying on the Nine Nether Black Wood Formation, I am not afraid even if the pill formation comes to attack me, I can practice to the pill formation in peace and security, so why bother to run out and take risks? ’
Fang Xi's expression straightened: "I am a dedicated ascetic, and I disdain to use foreign objects to break through bottlenecks..."
In fact, when he first hit the bottleneck in the late stage of foundation building, if he had an auxiliary elixir, he might have broken through long ago.
Liu Sanqi looked at Fang Xi, her lips moving, but in the end she couldn't say anything.
He doesn't even need the elixir to help him break through the realm, and the ancient ruins really don't attract him at all.
"However, even though I won't go, Hongyu, you and Fairy Ruan can go out together to hit the opportunity..."
Fang Xi sighed.
After cultivating the Yimu Dharmakaya, he was very confident in forming the elixir himself, but Ruan Xingling and Zhong Hongyu did not have this opportunity.
If you don't take this opportunity to try your luck in the ancient ruins, I'm afraid there will be no hope of forming a pill in this life!
Even without him having to say anything, Ruan Xingling should have already moved.
"Besides... Wandao Lake may be more dangerous this time than last time."
Fang Xi made her own judgment.
Last time, something happened in Baize Immortal City, and some casual cultivators came here to take refuge. The one with the highest cultivation level was Chong Ruhu.
But this time the ancient ruins appear, it’s completely different!
Strong men in the late stage of foundation building, or even those with perfect foundation building, will appear!
Even if the ancestor of Pill Formation is hiding aside, it is not impossible!
The danger suddenly increases!
"This matter is indeed a matter of great concern..." Ruan Xingling's expression suddenly became serious.
The last time a secret realm appeared in the Yue Kingdom was the ‘Purple You Mountain Secret Realm’ a hundred years ago!
After that time, the nearby Situ family and Hongye Valley were wiped out!
No matter how many calculations are made later, there are always some factors that make the common man innocent and guilty of having a treasure in his possession.
"That's not the case..."
Zhong Hongyu murmured: "As long as there is no opportunity to form pills, there should not be many foundation-building masters attracted..."
When Liu Sanqi heard this, his expression changed.
It seems that he, who has experienced it personally, suspects that the standard of this secret realm is higher than that of the Ziyou Mountain secret realm, and it has the possibility of attracting the ancestor of Jiedan to come!
"Then what should I do?"
Ruan Xingling looked at Fang Xi.
"The three of you can form a team to help each other... and move some of your disciples to Dragon Fish Island."
Fang Xi smiled: "Anyway, I'm not going to the secret realm. I just want to look after the house for you, so I can ensure that I have a safe future...other than that, I might as well start a business!"
"What business?" Liu Sanqi asked curiously.
"Wandao Lake will be a gathering of cultivators in the future, and there will be many middle- and high-level monks who need caves, spiritual rice, and talismans and magic weapons consumed in exploring the ruins... all need to be replenished nearby, and there is a lack of a trading place. And Baochuanfang City After all, there is only the first level of spiritual veins, and the distance is too far..."
Fang Xi smiled slightly: "If Lingkong Island City is reopened, just renting the cave should be a big business!"
Gold diggers may not make money, but the various service industries near the gold mines definitely make a lot of money!
The Yan family will definitely support this matter.
"This...has a lot of potential."
Ruan Xingling's eyes lit up.
Compared with going to the ruins and fighting to the death, Kaifang City is much safer, and you can also earn spiritual stones by the way.
"I can produce a set of second-level high-grade formations, occupying 30% of the shares, and the remaining Fairy Ruan, Liu Daoyou, and Fairy Zhong will each hold 20%, and the remaining 10% will be given to the Yan family..."
Fang Xi expressed her proposal: "Usually, as long as there is one foundation builder sitting in charge of the city... Of course, I won't be in charge after I have the formation."
"This matter... is quite feasible, and the Yan family must be willing to do it." Liu Sanqi thought about it and found that this strategy was quite good.
Taking advantage of the period when the ruins of Emerald Island are booming, there will be a lot of people in the city, and a lot of spiritual stones can be earned!
What's more... some casual cultivators may be lucky enough to obtain treasures without even knowing it, and sell them cheaply in the market.
This is an opportunity for them, the managers behind the scenes!
In fact, in terms of safety and abundant spiritual energy, of course the major foundation-building spiritual islands are more suitable.
However, Fang Xi, like the others, did not want their home nest to be visited frequently.
Moreover, Lingkong Island could be used as a market back then, and it was very suitable due to its natural location.
So the matter was settled as such.
A few days later, Yan Dongqing, who had been here once before, came to Dragon Fish Island again with a strange look on his face. When he saw that the four major foundation builders had all agreed to the plan to open the city, he naturally nodded repeatedly, ensuring that the Yan family would fully support it.
Fang Xi had known for a long time that this man was a smart man, so giving him 10% of the shares was more than enough to be a manager of the market.
He took out a set of 'Six Mysterious Turtle Armor Formations' from the warehouse and handed it to Ruan Xingling.
This formation is a second-level high-grade formation. It is inherited from the Song family. It has water attributes. It is placed on the second-level spiritual veins of Lingkong Island. With a foundation builder sitting in charge, it should be enough to deal with ordinary situations.
Of course, now that the group of cultivators are gathering together, there are probably quite a few calamity cultivators, and they are more likely to have second-level forbidden talismans.
But Fang Xi had already made an agreement with the three foundation builders that if things couldn't be done, they could abandon the market and run away.
Ruan Xingling and Liu Sanqi are both in the middle stage of foundation building, so there is not much of a problem.
The only thing to worry about is Zhong Hongyu, who is under Fang Xi.
After all, this woman has just established her foundation, her magic power is not deep yet, and she has never practiced any powerful spells.
However, relying on the few second-level talismans given by Fang Xi and the 'Flash Sky Technique' to take him by surprise, saving his life shouldn't be a big problem.
