Fangxian Heretical Path

Chapter 221 Wild Demon Slave
After the conversation, everyone present looked pleased and showed no signs of discomfort, creating a harmonious atmosphere between host and guests.

"In that case, we shall take our leave."

A deity spoke, saying, "Three days later, on the Dragon Girl's boat, we will meet again with all of you fellow Daoists."

Fang Shu bowed to the white-clad protector and then left the dilapidated inn, which was actually a hidden gem inside.

After the four people had all left, the white-clad protector, who had been smiling, stared silently at the doorway. Her smile faded, turning cold and even mocking.

She shook her head and sighed softly:
"Are there really any differences in value between wolfhounds and cattle/sheep...?"

The woman's gaze shifted, a stark contrast to her previous attentive and kind demeanor as a hostess.

Although what she just said was entirely true, and she presented the Foundation Building Technique in terms of both advantages and disadvantages, she was actually concealing, or rather guiding, certain aspects of the technique from being considered.

It should be noted that in this inland region, although the Foundation Establishment Immortals are confined to one place, they are protected by various immortal sects and Taoist schools, and have blessed lands as their foundation. As long as the blessed lands are not destroyed and the mountain gates are not destroyed, the Foundation Establishment Immortals will hardly die.

However, in those remote areas like the vast desert, Foundation Establishment cultivators may be carefree, but if they are targeted, their lives are uncertain.

In particular, if a Foundation Establishment Immortal in the Vast Desert dies, all of his cultivation will be manifested outwards, and all the blessed lands and ley lines he has consumed will burst forth and merge into the heavens and earth.

According to Bai Yangyang, many immortal sects and families in the world are eager to acquire immortals who have cultivated the Vast Ocean Foundation Building Technique.

After all, these immortals who use their own flesh and blood as a blessed land will surely be killed once they fall into human hands. They are all excellent seeds to increase the foundation of the mountain sect and create a blessed land for the family.

In comparison, the guardian immortals who have established their foundations through the earth's veins, having lost their blessed land, can at least remain as unencumbered foundation builders, serving as slaves and servants.

Bai Yangyang even suspected that this kind of earth-based foundation-building method was probably created by certain immortal sects and Taoist schools in order to make it easier to gather the earth veins scattered in the corners of the world.

As she pondered these things, the mocking look on Bai Yangyang's face faded, and she muttered to herself:
“The aristocratic families and sects possess all the earth’s veins. Without a solid foundation, no matter how talented they are, they are just tenant farmers. On the other hand, those who cultivate their foundations in the wild and free-range may very well prove a path to enlightenment.”

In the Immortal City of the Vast Ocean outside Xihulu Continent, even though the Daoist sects and immortal schools in the interior have tried every means to weaken the rogue immortals, the Immortal City of the Vast Ocean has still nurtured powerful beings such as Nascent Soul Immortals.

Bai Yangyang held that living Nascent Soul Immortal in high esteem.

I heard that the old immortal was also born into the demon race, and was a half-demon who was most despised by both humans and demons. In his youth, he could only work as a stable boy to raise horses for people.

To attain the status of a Nascent Soul Immortal with such a background demonstrates not only the extraordinary abilities of that old immortal, but also the vibrant life of the Vast Ocean region, far surpassing that of the inland areas of Xihulu Continent.

Moreover, in the transaction just now, although Bai Yangyang was trying her best to induce Fang Shu and others, she herself also wanted to try this method of building a foundation on the ground.

"I'd rather be a wild demon than a household slave," Bai Yangyang murmured again.

After a long time.

She squinted at the original jade slip in the center of the guest room and thought to herself, "Since I have this method to give you, even if you all die in this operation, I, Bai, will have done my duty."

Although the Dragon Girl said there were no Foundation Establishment Immortals on board during her trip to find a husband, she also didn't mention that the other party lacked Foundation Establishment talismans or other Foundation Establishment methods.

Moreover, this job is different from the past. After committing such a crime, she must leave immediately and get away from this floating mountain.

Or rather, this was a rare opportunity for her to leave the mountains, one that she had been planning and waiting for for a long time.

Her cultivation has reached the sixth level of perfection, and she has been on Mount Fudang for more than ten years. If she continues to delay, her magic power will become compatible with the earth energy in the mountains, and she will be accepted by the Mount Fudang Mountains. At that time, she will only have the option of establishing her foundation in the mountains.

After careful consideration, realizing that nothing had been overlooked, the woman's gaze became increasingly resolute, showing no regret or remorse for abandoning her family and career.

………………

On the other side, after leaving the inn, Fang Shu immediately returned to his hiding place.

He sat alone in the room for a long time, and seeing that even with the help of the Daoist talisman, he could not decipher the key in the jade slip for a while, he could only sigh.

Having abandoned the idea of ​​finding a solution, he immediately stood up and muttered to himself, "I still have three days to prepare."

After some deliberation, Fang Shu immediately went out.

He began to walk through the market, purposefully acquiring household items for himself.

Apart from some emergency talismans, he replenished his supplies with a lot of spirit grains, spirit wheat, gold, lead, mercury, and food for Gu worms.

In no time, he had spent most of the emergency spirit stones he had left.

The reason it was so large was because he had prepared a considerable amount of supplies. Even if he fell to the mortal realm, he could survive for three or four years with these supplies. If he used them sparingly, he could make do for ten years and not starve the Gu worms.

In addition, he sold off as many useless items as possible, and even boldly went to some shops to buy so-called evil ancient treasures.

Unfortunately, he only managed to find a few small items to replenish his family's wealth.

The reason for this was that Fang Shu was already prepared to run away on the spot after completing this job.

Afterwards, he pondered the matter and vaguely felt that this trip to find a husband for the Dragon Girl was probably not as simple as the woman in white had said. Even if there was no great danger, after committing this act, it would be best for Fang Shu to flee far away from Fudang Mountain.

After all, the one surnamed Bai is a protector of Benshan, and it is said that he is highly regarded by the Lord of Fudang Mountain.

As for Fang, he is just an outsider whose background is unknown. Once things get out of hand, even if he reveals his identity as an inner disciple of the Five Internal Organs Temple, it will probably be difficult to get away with it peacefully.

Because the dragon maiden's flower boat had been received by the Lord of Floating Mountain when it arrived here. If such a caravan of merchants from afar were to encounter trouble in the mountains, it would surely attract the attention of the Lord of Floating Mountain.

After settling his belongings, Fang Shu breathed a sigh of relief. He stopped going out and obediently returned to his hiding place, waiting for the day the dragon boat would open.

During this time, he did consider absconding with the money and then slowly working through the Foundation Establishment Jade Slip using the Dao Talisman.

However, after much thought, this method is related to foundation building, and the Daoist talisman is not an all-powerful spiritual object, so it's better to be cautious.

And if he makes any move to leave Fudang Mountain, it's hard to guarantee that he won't be hunted down by Protector Bai.

This succubus is no pushover, given that she's willing to take such a huge risk.

Three days passed quickly.

When the days are over.

The gilded invitation in Fang Shu's hand was slightly warm, and a small dragon woven with gold thread on it spiraled up, circled around him three times, and then guided him to his destination.

Before long, outside the market town where he had once been, a ship a hundred feet long and wide was majestically floating in the air.

The ship was decorated with palaces and pavilions, with carved beams and painted rafters everywhere, and was adorned with gold and pepper, with many candles burning, making it look magnificent and luxurious.

In an instant, all the surrounding pagodas and tall buildings paled in comparison, and even the full moon in the night sky appeared dim.

When Fang Shu arrived, he noticed a faint golden light slowly gathering beneath the ship, which was the guests holding invitations, like fish swimming towards the light.
