Immortality

Chapter 33 Foundation Building Pill Appears
Master Li Fu noticed Fang Sheng's gaze and quickly turned his gaze.

When he found out that it was just a water magician with his face covered, he snorted coldly.

Fang Sheng remained calm and nodded to the two of them.

But I was thinking in my heart.

'At the fifth level of Qi Refining, approaching the age of seventy, he can't exert much strength.'

"However, after being a talisman master for so many years, there is no guarantee that I don't have any self-protection methods or high-level talismans..."

After a moment.

The shopkeeper of Lingshouxuan came in from outside and went into the inner room for a secret talk with Master Li Fu.

Only the goddaughter was left waiting there.

She was so bored that she even threw a coquettish glance at Fang Sheng.

Fang Sheng turned his head and asked the waiter.

Lingshouxuan's quota of wild rhino blood essence is clearly ten per month.

But every time he came, there were always only four portions left.

This incident made Fang Sheng very strange.

"Master, you don't know that a hundred miles away from Sishuifang City, there is a first-class top-grade alchemist, Fairy Danhua."

"The shop has to reserve six portions of her blood essence every month, so naturally there are only four portions left for you."

The guy had a smile on his face, afraid of offending Mr. Fang.

No wonder...

Fang Sheng stopped after hearing this.

He still had a hundred spirit stones left on hand, which he had not been able to spend, and wanted to buy a few more portions of Barbarian Bone Essence Blood.

Now it seems that it can only be kept for emergencies.

……

Leave from Lingshouxuan.

Fang Sheng continued to wander around.

In addition to the shops, there are also many independent cultivators setting up stalls inside the Sishuifang Market, selling a wide range of items.

From elixirs to treasure maps of magical artifacts, they have everything, specifically designed to deceive newbies who have just stepped into the world of cultivation.

No matter how much the stall owners talked, Fang Sheng, who had the experience of two lifetimes, just treated it as a legendary story.

Dusk.

The door of Lingshouxuan opened again, and two figures walked out slowly, heading out of the market town.

Fang Sheng took a quick glance and followed them from a distance.

He was very curious about the purpose of these two people.

Master Li Fu was unaware of the person following him, and hurried to the river with his goddaughter.

There is a boatman waiting here.

As soon as the two men got on the boat, they untied the rope and let the boat drift downstream.

If it were an ordinary monk, it would be difficult to track him here.

Any abnormality on the wide river surface and river beach will be noticed immediately.

Even though it was already night, many subtle movements could not escape the monks' perception.

Fang Sheng is not subject to this restriction.

He used a strange method to conceal his breath, and followed underwater with his water-breaking ability.

After dozens of miles of water.

The boat slowly approached the shore, and then a heavy object slammed into the water.

Fang Sheng lived in the middle reaches of the Zi River and could vaguely see it with the help of the underwater moonlight.

That was the boatman's body...

on the water.

Master Li Fu and his companion walked into a quiet and elegant waterside courtyard as if nothing had happened.

A moment later, a gentle voice came from the courtyard:
"Godfather~Come and take medicine."

"Ahem! You've worked so hard. Go check if we've brought out all our stuff. I'm afraid we'll have to live in seclusion here for the next few years..."

"Godfather, really, how hard is this?"

"I've just checked. All the important items have been taken out of the Zheng family. Don't worry~"

"That's good."

Master Li Fu's voice was quite weak, but it could not conceal his excitement:
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."

"I actually stumbled upon such a rich man. Zheng Jinli was secretly promoted to a second-level alchemist, and even used his injury as an excuse to secretly refine a foundation-building pill!"

Having said that, he couldn't help but feel regretful.

"It's a pity that my spiritual roots are too weak and my cultivation is not enough, otherwise I would have found a way for him to steal it..."

"Okay, godfather~ It's great that you can detect this news in advance. Now you should drink the medicine first..." The two of them didn't notice anything at all.

Outside the courtyard, the night was as dark as ink and everything was silent.

Fang Sheng stood quietly, his figure blending into the darkness. The aura around him was restrained to almost nothing, and he looked like a lifeless stone statue.

There was only a pair of eyes, like two deep pools in the darkness, quiet and deep...

'The Zheng family actually created a foundation-building pill?!'

Fang Sheng was shocked.

He recalled the various actions taken by the Zheng family before, and they were probably all laying the groundwork for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Alchemist training program, Zheng Jinli injured...

It was all a show for the He family.

Just to make the He family believe that the Zheng family is exhausted and has no time to care about anything else.

The He family's ten-year order must have been a sign of suspicion towards Zheng Jinli, and they were trying to drain his energy...

It’s a pity that the Zheng family still had one flaw.

Master Li Fu noticed something was wrong and defected to the He family.

"The He family has been informed of the news for quite some time..."

'Now, I'm afraid that Purple Smoke Valley has become a dangerous place.'

Fang Sheng was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should go back.

In the world of cultivating immortals, every time a foundation-building pill comes into the world, it is accompanied by a bloody storm.

He could imagine the He family's reaction.

The He family will definitely mobilize all their manpower to besiege the Zheng family and force Zheng Jinli to hand over the Foundation Establishment Pill.

In fact, this time it might even be a disaster that will lead to the genocide of the entire clan.

Fang Sheng pursed his lips tightly and made a decision in his heart:
"Forget it. Let's go back along the Purple River first and see what happens along the way before deciding whether to go back to Purple Smoke Valley."

"Anyway, I have the ability to repel water. As long as I'm in the water, I don't have to worry even if I encounter a foundation-building problem."

Just about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, a smell of medicine wafted out from the yard.

Fang Sheng's nose twitched slightly and his expression became subtle.

Several years of experience as an alchemist have made him very sensitive to the smells of various elixirs.

He was certain that the smell of the medicine contained a poisonous herb called 'Hidden Orchid'.

'This kind of poisonous grass has a subtle toxicity and can accumulate in secret, so it is difficult for monks to detect it.'

'Even if one is in the middle stage of Qi Refining, it only takes two or three months for the accumulated toxicity to render the person unable to move...'

Old man Li Fu is really blessed to have such a goddaughter.

……

Fang Sheng had no intention of getting involved in this matter.

He re-entered the water and headed back upstream of the Purple River.

After midnight.

As we gradually approached the Purple Mist Valley, unusual movements began to appear on the water.

It seemed that some monks were setting up small formations on both sides of the river bank to detect the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the river.

If there is a water magician who wants to escape by using magic, he will be discovered immediately.

"However, this formation has no effect on my water-repelling ability."

Fang Sheng restrained his breath, dived to the bottom of the river which was a hundred feet deep, groped his way forward by sensing the water flow, and easily passed through several formations.

The monks on the river didn't notice his figure at all.

……

An hour later, the red sun rose.

Fang Sheng returned to Ziyan Valley.

It was soon discovered that the Qingfenglin Dojo had become a mess.

The expressions of the immortal seedlings were more flustered and uneasy than when the He family's foundation-building ancestor came in person a few years ago.

The towns and villas in the valley were also in chaos, with flames seen rising from time to time.

Everywhere were the Zheng family members hiding in panic.

Fang Sheng quickly found Zhao Miaoyan:

"I was in seclusion outside for a few days, how did it become like this?"

"Brother Fang!"

Zhao Miaoyan seemed to have found his backbone, and he wanted to hug him:
"I don't know either. Suddenly in the middle of the night, news came that the entire Purple Smoke Valley had been blocked by people sent by the He family!"

"The He family has five flying boats guarding the four directions, and the foundation-building ancestor is here in person. Now not even a bird can fly out of the valley!"
