Mortal: From a Chaotic Star Sea to a True Immortal

Because of the unexpected encounter with the Crimson Fire Dragon, Wei Fang dared not wander around carelessly any longer.

After rushing for half a month, we finally arrived at Tianxing City, the largest sphere of influence of the Star Palace.

Wei Fang settled down in an inn run by an ordinary person and stayed there temporarily.

He looked somewhat travel-worn from his constant journey.

At this moment, he is deep in thought, planning how to make the road ahead smoother and more stable.

"I originally planned to go to the outer sea for a few years to hunt some low-level demonic beasts to exchange for cultivation resources, but now I'm not in a hurry. The body of this level six Crimson Fire Dragon is worth at least thirty ordinary level five demonic beasts."

Thinking back to that day, if the demon beast hadn't been imminent in labor and unable to move, it would have probably pounced on Wei Fang the moment it saw him and torn him to pieces.

Several times, the Crimson Fire Dragon roared to the sky, its demonic power boiling as if it were about to unleash some kind of supernatural power, but it always just let out a muffled groan and then stopped, which gave Wei Fang the confidence to persevere to the end.

Even a Core Formation stage cultivator wouldn't dare claim they could escape unscathed from a fully-fledged level six dragon, as it's comparable to an ordinary level seven demonic beast.

The thought of that outcome sent a chill down Wei Fang's spine.

His experience was remarkably similar to the one when the old demon encountered the corpse demon.

If the old demon had released the Corpse Demon's primordial spirit back then, it would have immediately recovered its cultivation and broken free of the Heavenly Fire God Chains.

When the time comes, the old demon will be unable to fight back or escape, and will only be torn apart and devoured by the corpse demon.

However, opportunities and crises coexist.

The saying "the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish" illustrates this point.

"Old Demon's path is absolutely correct; only by being extremely cautious can one live a long life. I still lack too many methods. Escape techniques, formations, and offensive methods all need to be put on the agenda."

In a shop in Tianxing City, Wei Fang sold all the materials he had and, together with what he had left, raised 1800 spirit stones.

Although these spirit stones are few in number, they can still be of some use.

Afterwards, Wei Fang rented a cave dwelling on the 26th floor of the sacred mountain of the Star Palace for a hundred years, spending all the spirit stones in his hand.

Only after securing a safe base did Wei Fang prepare to sell the body of the level-six dragon.

The sense of security in Xinggong Sacred Mountain is so strong that spending a thousand or so spirit stones is well worth it.

"The value of a level six dragon's body is enough for me to cultivate to the Pseudo-Core stage or even the Core stage."

"Right now, it's just a matter of finding a relatively safe force to trade with. After looking around, the Miaoyin Sect seems the most suitable. The Six-Linked Palace and the Reverse Star Alliance are secretly colluding, and it's easy to get dragged into their mess if you go with them. It's best to avoid getting too entangled with these forces."

After tidying up the cave, Wei went down the mountain and found the Miaoyin Sect.

After giving twenty low-grade spirit stones to one of his female disciples, Wei Fang successfully delivered the jade slip he made to Wang Yuan, the sect leader of Miaoyin Sect.

Wei Fang had already returned to his cave and was waiting for good news.

Meanwhile, Wang Yuan of the Miaoyin Sect was greatly surprised after examining the jade slip. After considering it for a while, she gave the order.

Before long, a figure gracefully approached, exuding extraordinary charm.

"Sect Master, Jingmei has prepared what you requested. These items are quite valuable; is that what you want?"

After listening for a moment, Wang Yuan said, "Take a look at this jade slip. It contains a wide variety of materials. Check if we have overlooked anything in our preparations."

Fan Jingmei was quite surprised after examining the information in the jade slip.

He said, "Although there are quite a few precious items in this jade slip, and the quantity is rather large, our Miaoyin Sect can still collect them all if we spend a few more days. They are all in this storage bag now."

Wang Yuan nodded. "Since Jingmei is here too, come with me and let's see who dares to place such a big order."

After saying this, the two transformed into rainbow light and left the place.

……

Upon arriving at Wei Fang's cave, before the two could even communicate telepathically, they saw the cave's spiritual energy surge, revealing their true forms.

Wei Fang had clearly been waiting there for quite some time.

Upon seeing the two beauties, Wei Fang assumed one of them was Sect Leader Wang, while the other woman in purple looked very familiar. Wei Fang could basically conclude that this woman was Left Envoy Fan of the Miaoyin Sect.

Sensing that the two had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, Wei Fang felt relieved and smiled, "Sect Leader Wang is indeed a trustworthy person. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Greetings."

The two women also sensed that Wei Fang possessed a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level.

She spoke with an unpredictable tone, "Since you said that no Core Formation cultivator should know about this, I naturally wouldn't be so unreasonable. This is Left Envoy Fan from my sect, not a Core Formation cultivator. Speaking of which, Brother Fang is indeed quite cautious."

Wei Fang said, "Everyone knows how popular your female cultivators are, and I, Fan Zuo Shi, am certainly aware of that. It's alright."

Wang Yuan said, "Since that's the case, let's get straight to the point. Fellow Daoist, you've asked us to find so many valuable items. I wonder if you have enough spirit stones?"

Wei Fang kept his eyes straight ahead and said with a faint smile, "I haven't seen what I want yet."

"Of course I won't disappoint you, fellow Daoist. Jingmei, please take a look."

Wang Yuan gestured to Fan Zuo Shi to show the storage bag to Wei Fang.

A slight ripple stirred in Wei Fang's heart as he watched the beautiful Fan Mei approach gracefully, but it vanished in an instant.

Without any hesitation, he began to take inventory through the storage bag using his divine sense.

"That's right, exactly what Mr. Fang wanted." Wei Fang nodded in approval.

"Has that fellow Daoist prepared any spirit stones or rare treasures?" Fan Jingmei put away her storage bag and smiled alluringly, making Wei Fang feel that her eyes were somewhat captivating.

Wei Fang said calmly, "Of course I won't disappoint you two fairies. Please take a look."

After saying that, he took the storage bag in his hand and handed it over.

Wang Yuan's expression changed as she probed the storage bag with her divine sense. She turned around, nodded, and said, "Fellow Daoist's items are exceptionally precious, undoubtedly treasures. However, the transaction involves a large sum of money. Would it be possible for us to enter your residence for a chat?"

Wei Fang nodded and said, "Of course. Please, fairies."

At Wei Fang's invitation, the two women entered the cave and began to talk in detail.

After Wang Yuan entered, before Wei Fang could even brew the spiritual tea, she said impatiently, "I didn't see it clearly outside just now. Why don't you let me take a look again, fellow Daoist? This is a matter of great importance, so I must be careful. I hope you will understand."

After brewing a pot of tea, Wei Fang poured a cup for each of the two women, took a couple of sips, nodded, and said, "It's only right."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and in an instant, a dragon body over twenty feet long appeared in the cave.

The two women were immediately startled.

Especially Fan Jingmei, who was inevitably terrified when she first saw such a huge thing.

After carefully examining it, Wang Yuan exclaimed in astonishment, "Fellow Daoist, you truly possess remarkable skill! You even managed to slay a sixth-tier Crimson Fire Flood Dragon. This is a being comparable to a seventh-tier demonic beast! Equivalent to a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator among human cultivators."

Wei Fang chuckled and said, "Hahaha, fairy, please don't make fun of me. I am just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. What ability do I have to slay this giant beast?"

Wei Fang said solemnly, "I believe that exchanging this dragon's body for the resources I desire should be more than enough."

With the completeness of this demonic body, adding a few materials would be enough to forge several natal magic weapons for Core Formation cultivators.

"Although I have many things, only a few are truly valuable, totaling a little over 50,000 spirit stones. If this dragon's body were auctioned off, it would probably fetch 110,000 to 120,000 spirit stones. Even if it were sold separately, it would still be worth 80,000 to 90,000 spirit stones. Although there are many monsters in the Chaotic Star Sea, the dragon is no ordinary creature."

"To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this Star Palace's cave dwelling has its own restrictions that can block the divine sense probing of Core Formation stage cultivators, I would never have released it. So I hope that you two fairies will keep my information confidential as much as possible. Although it is safe and secure to cultivate on the Holy Mountain, I don't want to be disturbed for no reason."
