Cultivating Immortality: Starting from Ferrying Passengers

Chapter 189 Madam Ye

Immediately, Fang Jingxuan smiled and nodded, expressing his goodwill.

Correspondingly, that night the lady smiled and stopped paying attention to this place.

The beast beside him chuckled a few times, then whispered a reminder to Fang Jingxuan:

"This Madam Ye cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness. Don't be fooled by her charming appearance; she's actually quite ruthless."

She loved watching Foundation Establishment cultivators being seduced by her, and then, when they were deeply in love, she would suddenly turn on them and ruthlessly kill them. With each person she killed, her cultivation would improve by one point. This was her method of cultivation.

Of these four elders, her combat strength is the strongest; even the sect leader doesn't dare to be disrespectful to her. "You're new here, and you're quite good-looking. Be careful."

Upon hearing this, Fang Jingxuan felt a chill run down his spine; danger truly was lurking everywhere.

"Thank you for the advice, Brother Kuang. I will keep it in mind."

"That's good. Our Elder Xiao and Madam Ye don't get along. This is because there was a cultivator that Elder Xiao had high hopes for, but Madam Ye ruthlessly killed him, so the two have some grudges."

However, Elder Xiao couldn't defeat her and had no way to deal with her, so he could only try to avoid it. But now they had to work together again, and who knew how many more troubles they would cause along the way.

Hearing this, Fang Jingxuan asked curiously:

"Knowing that the two have a grudge, why not send the other two elders?"

"Hehe, the other elders don't want to see Madam Ye either. This crazy woman has killed even more of the cultivators under these two!"
Never mind, she's looking this way.

The mad beast immediately dropped his mysterious expression and became very serious, while Madam Ye was still smiling at Fang Jingxuan.

In response, Fang Jingxuan subtly moved and silently hid behind Xiao Yan.

How dangerous!
A third-tier flying shuttle is extremely expensive, costing tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones per ship. Only large forces can afford to own one.

Even though the Holy Infant Sect is located in the open sea and has abundant spirit stone mines, this one ship is only used as a facade.

This shuttle is named the [Yi Wood Wind-Riding Shuttle], and it is an excellent third-tier flying magic weapon.

This is made from the trunk of a third-tier spirit wood, the Ten-Thousand-Year Yi Wood, supplemented with countless low-tier materials. It is entirely blue and covered with numerous wind-attribute magic arrays.

When traveling with the wind, it is like a wisp of green smoke streaking across the sky, with no sound of air being cut through, both inside and outside, it is extremely quiet.

This trip, along with Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Refining cultivators, brought together about three hundred cultivators on this third-tier flying shuttle.

Each Foundation Establishment cultivator has their own room, and Fang Jingxuan was also assigned one. Surprisingly, the location was quite good.

Fang Jingxuan could only thank Xiao Yan for this; it was clearly a small perk he had given him. Indeed, working with a reliable superior was very comfortable.

After entering their room, the shuttle slowly started up within half an hour and flew to an altitude of 50,000 meters.

At this altitude, even ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot fly there. Only some extremely ferocious flying beasts can roam this area, and they are clearly not very interested in such a huge creature.

Inside the room, Fang Jingxuan sat quietly in meditation, not cultivating, but rather contemplating and planning.

Previously, Xiao Yan had offered a reward of 500 high-grade spirit stones. After refining the Yellow Spring True Water, Fang Jingxuan went on a shopping spree in the island's markets, replacing almost everything on his body.

He hadn't made such a purchase since he established his foundation; this feeling was truly wonderful.

Aside from the second-tier high-grade magic robe he was wearing, which cost Fang Jingxuan a full thirty high-grade spirit stones, there were also five for his belt, six for his hairpin, and nine for his boots.

Each item carries a corresponding spell, but these are no longer of much help to Fang Jingxuan at this point.

The only protective feature was the robe, which was constantly engraved with eight array patterns: [Ruyi], [Constant Temperature], [Spiritual Shield], [Wind Breath], [Dust Purification], [Qi Gathering], [Rejuvenation], and [Self-Healing]. Fang Jingxuan understood that once worn, it would automatically adapt to the cultivator's size, fitting perfectly whether they were ten feet tall or five feet tall.

Then there is the constant temperature. No matter if the outside world is near a volcano or inside a millennia-old iceberg, the temperature inside is the most comfortable for the human body.

The rest are self-explanatory, except for the last one, self-healing, which means that if the robe is not severely damaged, it will automatically absorb the materials it has prepared to repair itself, without needing to go to a spirit appraiser.

In short, thirty high-grade spirit stones were well worth the price, but even so, it only cost fifty high-grade spirit stones.

With the remaining spirit stones, Fang Jingxuan bought four magical artifacts. One of them was a second-tier top-grade offensive magical artifact, the [Star-Splitting Blade], which has four characteristics: [Spirit Erosion], [Shield Break], [Resonance], and [Starburst]. All of these are designed to break through protective magic shields and cut through protective magical artifacts.

In addition, there is a second-tier high-grade magic artifact, mainly used for trapping, binding, and entangling, named the [Twelve-Star Chain Shuttle].

And there is a [Primordial Sea-Suppressing Pearl], which is extremely heavy. When used, it consumes a lot of mana and true liquid, but in return, it is extremely heavy and has an indestructible offensive capability. If it is touched, even a body-refining cultivator will be blasted into dust.

The last item is not a combat artifact, but a spatial artifact that can cultivate spiritual plants, named [Azure Wood Treasure Garden].

The interior is not large, only about twenty feet in size. Unlike storage bags, the spiritual plants inside can grow freely and interact with the outside world at any time.

Fang Jingxuan had been worried that the Enlightenment Vine would lose all its spiritual energy if it stayed in the storage bag for too long. So when he saw this magical artifact, he decisively used spirit stones to acquire it.

In addition, there were various useful talismans and pills, which Fang Jingxuan took without hesitation.

In total, these cost Fang Jingxuan less than two hundred high-grade spirit stones. It has to be said that the purchasing power of high-grade spirit stones is indeed high.

Fang Jingxuan kept the remaining spirit stones for later, intending to use them all to buy Xuanming True Qi. After two months of refining, the Yellow Spring True Water had been completely melted into the True Qi.

Although the amount of this Yellow Spring True Water was too small, less than two liters, its power was, to say the least, truly astonishing.

Three days later, the third-tier [Yimu Wind-Riding Shuttle] gently pierced the sky and landed on a large island.

The trip went very smoothly, without any unexpected situations along the way. Fang Jingxuan simply closed his eyes to rest for a while, and then they arrived.

As the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, along with hundreds of Qi Refining cultivators, lined the road to welcome them, Fang Jingxuan realized that the life-or-death arena battle was about to begin.

After a welcoming banquet, two days passed before the Thousand Sun Sect's flying shuttle arrived.

Immediately, the atmosphere between the two sides became tense. Without further ado, the first match officially began.

Fang Jingxuan was lucky; he drew the seventh pick, which means he doesn't have to play the bloodiest first three games, so it's not bad.

The first few matches were all about saving face for both sides, so naturally everyone wanted to win, making them the most intense.

But the seventh game also carries considerable pressure; if we fall behind, it will be a disaster.

Compared to Fang Jingxuan's luck, the Mad Beast looked gloomy; he had drawn the third round.

Fang Jingxuan could only offer a few words of comfort; there was nothing else he could do.

As expected, in the first two matches, the Holy Infant Sect and the Thousand Sun Sect each had their victories and defeats, but the price was the loss of two Foundation Establishment cultivators' corpses.

So now, the pressure is on the third match, falling on the beast.

Just before going on stage, the mad beast drank three jars of second-grade top-quality spirit wine, as if he wanted to drink all the wine in his life at once. Then he roared and the tattoo pattern on his body was fully activated and manifested, and his whole body also became half-demon.

On the stage, a huge tiger was roaring incessantly, while the cultivator from the Thousand Sun Sect, with his slicked-back hair and frail appearance, looked disdainful and relaxed.

Upon seeing this scene, Fang Jingxuan's heart sank, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.
