Fangxian Heretical Path

Chapter 279 Sword Cultivation Inheritance
Fang Shu successfully left the underground palace.

He emerged from the blood lake and quickly ran towards its edge. When he landed on the shore, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, the robe he was wearing was tattered and completely damaged during this Blood Fiend's stealth mission, making it difficult to even repair and leaving him only able to be collected as junk.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Shu did not throw the item away or burn it directly. Instead, he took out a wooden box and carefully stored the item inside.

Although this item is now useless, it was specially given to me by the old man, serving as a symbol of their friendship despite the age difference, and should not be discarded lightly.

Fang Shu then did not rush to wander around the secret realm.

He chose another inconspicuous spot near the Blood Lake, and in a flash, he disappeared underground, creating a temporary cave dwelling.

This trip to the underground palace was very fruitful. Although he had already organized it, Fang Shu still felt somewhat constrained and uncomfortable with Naerdaiyuan by his side.

Now that I'm finally traveling alone and have some peace and quiet, it's time to take a thorough look at everything.

So he secluded himself for a day and a half, and apart from dealing with various matters, he also carefully studied the Blood Mother Scripture once again.

Among these, he instructed Dao Lu to combine the Dragon Whale Technique with a large number of Gu Dao classics left by the Dragon Maiden, and to deduce on his own whether he could transform the "Blood Mother" into the "Insect Mother" and deduce a proper foundation-building method for the Insect Vein for him.

After making all the necessary preparations, Fang Shu finally left his temporary cave, turned his back on the Blood Lake, and headed straight for the depths of the secret realm without looking back.

Keep moving forward.

On the way, he encountered almost no decent ferocious beasts, nor any other immortals, and he also did not encounter any decent spiritual herbs.

After a moment's thought, he realized that it must have been two months since everyone entered the secret realm.

The outer areas that could be plundered have been almost completely looted, and the remaining survivors have all gone deeper into the area to search for treasures and herbs.

as predicted.

When he arrived at the place described in the temple as being densely covered with protective energy, he found that most of the protective energy had already dissipated. Looking up from a high vantage point, he saw that only a small area in the very center was still covered with protective energy.

Moreover, deep within this secret realm, especially at the edge of the qi barrier, flashes of spiritual light occasionally appear, either rushing into the qi barrier or escaping from it, chasing and fighting each other incessantly, creating quite a lively scene.

Upon seeing this scene, Fang Shu's heart stirred, and he felt a strong urge to go forward and have a good fight with these people, and also to plunder their spiritual herbs.

With his current abilities, especially the true energy of the ninety-nine toads, he refused to believe that anyone in this secret realm could rival him!
After some thought, Fang Shu suppressed such restless thoughts.

He thought to himself, "Be humble and patient. If Er Daiyuan and I can find such opportunities here, why can't others? However, if someone comes knocking on our door, we must not let them get away with it."

With his mind made up, he immediately landed discreetly and began to gather spiritual herbs deep within the secret realm on his own.

He did not actively seek trouble, but when he was occasionally chased by villains, he would unleash his spiked arrows and help those in distress without hesitation, and even take advantage of their misfortune.

If he is targeted by villains, he will simply set up a Gu formation to trap them whole and kill them in one fell swoop.

And sure enough, the immortals who have survived to this day are all quite wealthy.

In the past ten days or so, although Fang Shu himself had not been able to pick a single thousand-year-old spiritual herb, he had already obtained three more thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.

Two of them were obtained from the same person.

The man was still cursing as he died, repeatedly mentioning that his master was the head of the Rongyan Palace and that he himself was a Foundation Establishment seed. It took Fang Shu a bit of effort to finish him off, using two nails simultaneously. However, after killing his opponent, he forgot to ask him his name.

As for the various powerful figures and backers mentioned by the other party, Fang Shu completely forgot about them after succeeding.

Even if we disregard the fact that this person was an outer sect disciple who died in this secret realm, Rongyan Palace would have nothing to say.

Besides, Fang Shu had recently killed two Foundation Establishment Immortals and learned about the Daoist Foundation Establishment Method. The five sects of Mount Lu were all just side sect Foundation Establishment Immortals, so he no longer took this threat seriously.

However, while he was contemptuous, he was not careless and killed all the immortals accompanying the other party.

Perhaps it was precisely because of his ruthless methods.

Within just half a month, its ferocious reputation had already swept across the entire secret realm.

Almost all the immortals in the secret realms have heard of a ruthless individual who habitually ambushes and kills people.

It is suspected that it originated from the Five Internal Organs Temple, and the method it uses is Gu worms. Anyone who encounters it either flees far away or simply opens their storage bag for inspection.

The others who were encountered were never heard from again; they were probably... definitely dead!
This unintentional rise to fame made Fang Shu's herb-gathering in the secret realm much smoother.

Unfortunately, this also meant that his chances of making a fortune were becoming fewer and fewer.

The reason is simple: whenever someone sees him appearing alone with Gu worms scouting around him, they all change color and flee from a great distance.

Those who did not flee obediently opened their storage bags, but found not a single thousand-year-old medicinal herb inside.

Seeing how obedient these people were, Fang Shu couldn't bring himself to kill them, so he just took some spiritual herbs from them as a token gesture.

Suddenly, on this day...

Just as he was wandering around the area of ​​the protective energy, going in and out repeatedly, pondering whether he should head to the very center of the secret realm to explore it, a surge of powerful spiritual light suddenly rose from the western part of the secret realm.

He quickly climbed to a high place and immediately saw a golden mountain in the distance, shining brightly and illuminating a hundred miles away.

This scene immediately reminded Fang Shu of the commotion at the Blood Lake:

"Inheritance! This must be the other secret realm inheritance that the old ghost of the Nar family mentioned."

Without hesitation, Fang Shu rushed towards the source of the golden light.

If he hadn't seen it, so be it. But since he did, then this kind of inheritance must be destined for him, and he shouldn't miss it!
clank!

Before even reaching Jinshan, when they were still ten miles apart, the sound of swords clashing rang in his ears.

Upon arriving at the mountain, Fang Shu saw powerful, metallic energy swirling around the mountain range, extremely chilling. Even with his current physique, he felt a sharp pain and had to cast a protective spell.

Amidst this dense aura of metal, a phantom-like figure, resembling a swimming fish, floated and moved, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, above the golden mountain.

Upon closer inspection, this object is clearly a sheathless flying sword, its color is blue and white, and its blade is like a pool of autumn water, with many meridians and secret inscriptions, which is definitely not an ordinary object!
