Gou Dao Changsheng: Starting from the Reincarnation of a Demon Cultivator

Chapter 72: Growing Friendship
After hundreds of years of wind, frost, rain and snow, Fang Yi has long seen through the secrets of the Changqing Society.

It’s just the four words “band together for warmth”.

"The fundamental reason for the existence of forces such as the Changqing Society, the major immortal cultivation families, and even Xuanyang Mountain is to gather the strength of the cultivators within them, improve their ability to resist risks, and thus aid their cultivation."

"The power of the foundation-building clan is stronger than that of the Qi-training independent cultivators, and Xuanyang Mountain is stronger than the foundation-building clan. The power of each faction is different, and the benefits obtained by the cultivators therein are also different in strength."

"Each cultivator can be considered a small civilization. The improvement of their cultivation represents the strength of that civilization. And each family and sect is the gathering of these civilizations. If they only give, then naturally no cultivator would be so foolish as to leave on their own."

"Like Fan Dacheng, although he encountered a crisis where his path was cut off, he was in the Changqing Society and had the help of his friends there, so he still had a glimmer of hope. If he were just an ordinary outer disciple, his path of cultivation would have ended here."

"And the accumulation of these little bits of emotions, interests, and even a sense of superiority and security is what brings together the most fundamental strength of a sect. It can also be called inheritance."

Fang Yi and others established the Evergreen Association in order to support each other on the path of cultivation so that they could go further on the path to immortality.

However, when the Evergreen Association was first established, most of the members were either young or cautious, and relied on personal connections. Later, they earned a large amount of spirit stones together by leveraging the puppet armor.

But it can't last long after all. Without rules, there will be no order. Fang Yi plans to use the incident of Fan Dacheng to make the Changqing Club go a step further.

He knew that among the members of the Changqing Society, there was some kind of friendship and affection between them as fellow townsmen and fellow disciples.

But the Changqing Society wants to last long, and everyone wants to help on the path to immortality, so temporary friendship is not enough.

In the world of cultivation, every breakthrough in one realm means doubling one's lifespan, and one's status, position, and level of cultivation vary greatly.

Under many temptations.

Even biological fathers and sons can become enemies, and couples sleeping in the same bed can have different dreams and walk around with different behaviors.

Temporary friendship can withstand the erosion of external things several times.

When Fang Yi thought of this, he also sighed.

The two most outstanding third-grade top-grade puppets in his previous life were both refined by his fellow disciples.

Initially, the relationship between the three was quite good. However, after nearly a hundred years of mutual support and favors, they eventually turned against each other over a chance to form a pill.
Fortunately, Fang Yi has an outstanding character and excellent skills, and in the end the three of them returned to a state of no barriers and heart-to-heart communication.
Therefore, he knew that the way of immortality values ​​privacy.

I also know that only by maintaining both friendship and interests can this Evergreen Association last.

Everyone was also moved by Fang Yi's words about establishing a charter.

Xu Qingshe asked.

"What kind of rules does Fellow Daoist Fang have?"

Fang Yi's face was as calm as the sea, his eyes were like a bottomless cold pool, and he spoke slowly.

"We cultivators cultivate for the slightest chance of achieving immortality, but the path to immortality is treacherous, and it's difficult to travel alone. Sometimes, we may be unable to cope. At this time, we can seek help from the cultivators in the association. The favors and spirit stones we need can be paid in advance, and we can repay them later."

When Li Qingsong heard this, his face lit up with joy.

After all, among the five people in the Evergreen Association, he and Fan Dacheng have the lowest cultivation base, so they are most likely to encounter crises.

Then his face tightened and he asked with a hint of curiosity.

"What if I can't pay the spirit stones for the time being?"

Fang Yi's eyes were like lightning, making Li Qingsong's body tense. It was not until his back was soaked with cold sweat that he slowly spoke.

"If the spirit stones owed on credit cannot be returned, the members of the guild will share the burden equally. The members who share the burden will then decide whether to expel the cultivator who owed the spirit stones on credit. If the debt is owed maliciously, the cultivators of the guild will collectively kill him."

Fang Yi looked at everyone meaningfully.

"I don't think anyone would be so foolish as to offend several cultivators of the same level for a few hundred spirit stones."

Yang Cai'er looked at Fang Yi talking, her beautiful eyes sparkling and a smile on her lips. She remembered that it was the same when she attended the first Evergreen Meeting.

Different from the senior brothers in the sect who have outstanding talents but always act a little immaturely, this big brother Fang of mine is very considerate in his way of dealing with people and things, and always has a unique charm.

It made him want to see what was in those eyes that looked like a cold pond. Xu Qingshe nodded frequently after hearing what Fang Yi said. He had joined the Evergreen Association because he wanted to keep warm during the upcoming Jiazi Beast Tide.

After spending a long time together, they developed a bit of friendship.

Relying on this friendship, he can open the furnace once or twice to refine some pills, but if he has to do it all the time, it will drag down his cultivation, and he will refuse.

As a first-class top-grade alchemist, Xu Qingshe has a considerable fortune, and he has his own opportunities and profound background.

Stroking the ancient bronze ring in his hand, Xu Qingshe seemed to be lost in thought.

If what Fang Yi said is true, the Evergreen Society will have great potential.

It can also increase investment in the Evergreen Association. The road to immortality is bumpy, and any help is always a good thing.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingshe asked the last question.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, what is the standard for owing spirit stones on credit? What is the upper limit?"

Fang Yi naturally understood Xu Qingshe's intention.

If there were no limit to the amount of spirit stones that could be borrowed on credit, then the cultivators in the Evergreen Society would borrow thousands of spirit stones and then walk away.

Even if the spirit stones were recovered later, it would be a fatal blow to the Evergreen Association.

Fang Yi pondered for a moment.

"Let's calculate based on a cultivator's five-year earnings. The upper limit for the mid-level Qi training is 300 low-grade spirit stones, and the upper limit for the high-level Qi training is 500 low-grade spirit stones. And each level can only be borrowed once. How about that?"

After hearing this and thinking about it for a while, everyone agreed.

Even if it is 500 spirit stones, if shared equally by four people, it will only be more than 100 spirit stones.

This is only one year's income for Fang Yi, Yang Cai'er, and Xu Qingshe. Li Qingsong is now married into the Zhou family, and the more than one hundred spirit stones are only enough for him to save for two or three years if he works hard.

As for Fan Dacheng, he would not refuse any benefits from others.

Seeing that everyone agreed, the atmosphere around the lotus pond eased a lot.

The relationship between Xu Qingshe, Yang Caier and others is also much closer.

Fang Yi was also very satisfied with this. Even though he was the reincarnation of a Jindan cultivator, he could not guarantee that his immortal journey would be smooth.

The rest of the light swept across the bronze ring in Xu Qingshe's hand.

"After all, even if the Yuanying Patriarch has the ability to move mountains and overturn seas, there will be a time when he falls into trouble and turns into a residual soul."

See the sun setting.

Yang Caier put away the spiritual tea and took out several plates of spiritual fruits.

Fang Yi also took out the spiritual dishes that he had prepared long ago from his storage bag. The spiritual dishes were sealed in several one-foot-long jade boxes, which were still steaming when they were opened.

Xu Qingshe took out a pot of spirit wine.

The three of them smiled at each other, and there was a kind of unspoken understanding between them.

Xu Qingshe opened the spiritual wine, and everyone started chatting while drinking the spiritual wine and spiritual food.

After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are over.

Seeing that the atmosphere was ripe, Fang Yi asked everyone's questions.

"Fellow Daoist Qingsong, have you made up your mind about what will happen in three days?"
