Cultivating Immortality: Starting from Ferrying Passengers

Chapter 127 Eighth Level of Qi Refining
It was such a wonderfully immersive sleep. When Fang Jingxuan woke up, he looked at the sky and realized it was already evening of the next day.

Fang Jingxuan was surprised to find that he had slept for a whole day and night. Then he discovered that the range of his divine sense seemed to have increased again.

So Fang Jingxuan extended his divine sense, continuously extending it outwards: one hundred zhang, one hundred and thirty zhang, one hundred and thirty-five zhang, one hundred and forty zhang.

Finally, Fang Jingxuan determined the limit of his divine sense probing, reaching 140 zhang.

The distance increased by ten zhang compared to before, but his cultivation level did not break through. This gain was obviously due to the influence of the Enlightenment Vine.

"Great, it was definitely the right purchase. It was worth it for me to water you with a drop of Moon Dew every two days. From now on, I'll give you two drops every three days."

Fang Jingxuan painted a rosy picture for the Enlightenment Vine, not caring that the vine lacked intelligence and couldn't understand his words.

But after Fang Jingxuan returned to the house, the Enlightenment Vine moved without wind, and the leaves made a slight rustling sound.

The days of peaceful spiritual practice were not boring, because I could see my progress every day.

This sense of fulfillment and satisfaction allowed Fang Jingxuan to stay in the courtyard without worrying about the storms outside.

More than half a year later, on this day, Fang Jingxuan leaned against the door, holding a letter in his hand, staring blankly at Wang Xinyu's residence.

Nearly two years have passed, and Wang Xinyu has still not returned. Fang Jingxuan waited patiently, but in the end, he only received a letter from Qi Yun.

This is Wang Xinyu's handwriting. In the letter, she said that she would not return to Hongyefang for the next few decades. Now that the Langya Wang Clan is facing internal and external troubles, it is not the time for her to leave.

Her eldest brother had an accident while training in the open sea, damaging his foundation and making his cultivation hopeless; her second brother was obsessed with formations and didn't know how to adapt; her third brother was troubled by love, falling in love with a barbarian female cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect, and now he has gone far away with her and his whereabouts are unknown.

With no other option, her father had to pin his hopes on her, wanting to groom her to succeed him as the head of the third branch of the family.

Wang Xinyu initially resisted, but eventually realized that if she wanted to maintain the status of the third branch, she had to take on the responsibility.

She used to have three older brothers to support her, so she could be willful, but now that her three brothers are unreliable, she has to shoulder the burden herself.

Fang Jingxuan was speechless about Wang Xinyu's choice. Although he really hoped that Wang Xinyu could come back and return to her previous state, he would have no other choice if he were in her position.

The letter also said that the mansion, along with the medicinal herbs planted there, would be left to Fang Jingxuan as payment for the meals he had been eating for over the past few years.

Wang Xinyu also told Fang Jingxuan the location of the property deed, as well as the sales agency document, and gave it to him as well.

Finally, Wang Xinyu hoped that Fang Jingxuan could visit her in Qiyun one day, and that she would personally cook a table of delicious Qiyun-style dishes for him.

Fang Jingxuan read the letter several times before carefully putting it in a jade box and storing it in the deepest part of his storage bag.

Wang Xinyu is gone and won't be coming back. What is there left in Hongyefang that I can still cherish?
Looking at his cultivation progress again, his realm had now reached [Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 7 (2451/2800)].

In at most three months, I will become a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

With the Qi Refining Stage 8, you can easily find any spiritual land and forcibly occupy it. Then you can gather some rogue cultivators, form a force, and collect materials for Foundation Establishment Pills. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

At this moment, Fang Jingxuan had the idea of ​​moving away from Red Leaf Workshop. As a first-level rogue cultivator, his cultivation speed was too fast. If he were discovered by someone with ulterior motives, wouldn't the Chu family, as the owners of this place, become curious about him?

Fang Jingxuan has always been wary of the Chu family, and now he has little power to fight back against them.

Even though he stayed in the courtyard and didn't go out much, he still had to go out and run around in order to collect the materials for Foundation Establishment Pills.

Rather than risk being discovered by acquaintances, it would be better to move to a completely unfamiliar place. In that case, he would no longer be a rogue cultivator who started out as a ferryman, but a mysterious and powerful senior expert.

Thinking of this, Fang Jingxuan's eyes darkened. Red Leaf Workshop, Wang Xinyu, Wei Tong, Old He, ferrying passengers, selling fried rice, the Battle of Xianlin'ao, the ambush and counter-attack...
Each and every figure, each and every event, was clearly etched in his mind, something he would likely never forget for the rest of his life. Two and a half months later, Fang Jingxuan lay on a rattan chair in the courtyard, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility after his busy work.

After seven years of arduous cultivation, he finally became a genuine Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator a few days ago.

【Age: 29/130】

[Cultivation: Eighth level of Qi refining (6/3600)]

Before I knew it, I was almost thirty years old, reaching the age of maturity.

At thirty years old, at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he would be considered a promising talent even in a Golden Core sect.

However, it would take another two years to perfect the eighth level of Qi Refining, and I could not delay any longer.

It's time to work on the Foundation Establishment Pill. Over the past few months, Fang Jingxuan has taken care of the remaining issues and is preparing to move out in the next few days.

Fang Jingxuan chose to sell the mansion, and through a broker, it was eventually sold for 1,800 low-grade spirit stones.

I've made a slight profit compared to when I bought it, since the current economic climate is more stable.

Fang Jingxuan ultimately chose not to sell Wang Xinyu's house, thinking that she might come back someday, and leaving her a house would give her something to look forward to.

Moreover, Fang Jingxuan himself will inevitably have to return to Hongyefang on business in the future, and he can stay here directly at that time, saving him the trouble of staying at a hotel.

However, Fang Jingxuan sold all the spiritual herbs and plants in the courtyard, and received more than a thousand low-grade spirit stones in return.

Without Fang Jingxuan's care, these medicinal herbs wouldn't grow well and would eventually rot away. So he simply sold them and exchanged them for spirit stones.

Fang Jingxuan also went to Mo Guinong's forest garden. Those five Enlightenment Bamboos were difficult to carry, so he used them to exchange for a magical artifact that could temporarily support the growth of the Enlightenment Vine.

This ritual implement is a flowerpot made from the finest spiritual wood heartwood, capable of providing all the nutrients needed by spiritual plants for up to three months.

If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't be stored in a storage bag for a long time, the value of this magical artifact could be increased even further.

After learning that Fang Jingxuan was leaving, Mo Guinong was dejected for a long time. Where could he find such an easy sucker to fleece after Fang Jingxuan was gone?

Finally, Fang Jingxuan asked someone to send a letter to He Yu of the Dan Ding Sect, informing him that he had left Hongye Fang and that if he needed anything during this time, he should wait in the market.

Fang Jingxuan had promised Lao He that he would take care of his grandson, but Fang Jingxuan was planning that if what Lao He said was true, the Dan Ding Sect would face a major change, and his He family would be in danger.

If I have the ability, I will only care about He Yu. If I can save her, I will. If I can't, then I can't force her.

After dealing with these matters, Fang Jingxuan felt completely relaxed. He beckoned, and Tuoyuan understood and crawled over.

Fang Jingxuan patted Tuoyuan's thick forelimbs and said:

"Hey buddy, we're moving! Where do you want to live?"

Tuoyuan blinked, said nothing, but leaned his head close to Fang Jingxuan and affectionately rubbed against his sleeve.

"Haha, anywhere is fine, but there has to be a big river, otherwise you'll be too slow."

After seeing Tuoyuan nod, Fang Jingxuan turned his gaze to the geomantic map of Baishan on the table, staring intently at a certain piece of land.
