Immortal of Eternal Life and Endless Ages

Chapter 37 Counting Harvest
Early in the morning, outside Ziyan Valley.

A dense forest by the river.

Fang Sheng exuded a breath of air, which dispersed the birds and beasts around him, and then he sat cross-legged under the shade of the tree:
"Two people just happen to have two storage bags. Master Li also has two first-grade superior defense talismans in his hands. Once activated, at least the middle stage of Qi Refining will have a chance to break through..."

"Fortunately, I approached with the breath-hiding method. After being blessed by several Dao fruits, the Qi Refining Middle Stage couldn't detect it."

Otherwise, that water blade would not be able to penetrate the defense of the top-grade talisman.

Not only the water blade, but even his most proficient fire magic and the Qingyang Sword, if all combined, would probably not be able to wear away these two talismans.

Of course, once this happens.

Fang Sheng would definitely not get entangled, but would turn around and run away immediately.

People become more sophisticated as they grow old, and monks are even more so.

How could Master Li Fu, who had lived to be seventy years old in the world of immortal cultivation, not have any tricks up his sleeve?
If you can't hit me, you should run away.

Next, Fang Sheng took out more than ten talismans from Master Li Fu’s storage bag.

They are all top-grade, capable of both attack, defense and escape.

These talismans were made by different talisman masters and were obviously his secret weapons.

"If he had reacted just now, even an ordinary late stage Qi Refining cultivator would have been unable to stop him..."

Fang Sheng couldn't help but click his tongue when he looked at the pile of talismans.

In addition, there are various elixirs, most of which are used to recover from injuries, restore energy and mana.

There are no elixirs related to cultivation.

Master Li Fu is already in his seventies, but he is still at the fifth level of Qi Refining. His cultivation career has long ended.

Fang Sheng continued to explore in the storage bag.

Soon, his brows moved, and he sensed a special item:

"Barbarian bone blood!"

"The spiritual ink used by the talisman master to draw talismans also needs to be added with the essence and blood of monsters. However, this old man is only a first-level mid-grade talisman master, and the essence and blood of ordinary bones are enough. He actually has the essence and blood of barbarian bones..."

"I'm afraid it's for collection."

Fang Sheng looked at the several crystal jade bottles in front of him, and the green lotus in his palm moved strangely.

Based on his previous knowledge of monsters, he quickly came to the conclusion:
"The blood of the Savage Bone Monster, the Scarlet Flame Red Kite!"

"They are born into the demon race. It is said that they contain a very weak blood of the Vermillion Bird. They can spit out the Vermillion Kite Spirit Fire, which can melt gold and turn it into earth. If they miss an attack, they will fly three thousand feet high. Even those who have established their foundation will find it difficult to do anything to them..."

In the world of immortal cultivation, there is a strong wind in the sky.

The higher the monk flies, the greater the pressure he will bear.

Only a Jindan-level True Master can withstand gale forces exceeding three thousand feet in intensity for a long period of time.

Ordinary Qi training usually only moves within a thousand feet, and it is difficult to bear it any further.

"The blood essence of the Scarlet Flame Kite is extremely precious among all the blood essences of the Barbarian Bones. It is even as precious as the higher-level spiritual blood essence..."

"No wonder Master Li Fu used a top-grade jade bottle to store it, and even added a special sealing restriction to the mouth of the bottle."

Fang Sheng stroked the bottle, feeling the restless energy of the essence and blood inside.

This kind of blood essence is not as ordinary as that of the wild-horned rhinoceros.

He has already decided after being promoted to the second-grade Qinglian.

Immediately transform all of this essence and blood into Tao fruit.

"I don't know what the effect is. Is the blood essence here enough for a Dao Fruit?"

Think for a moment.

Fang Sheng carefully collected Zhu Yuan's blood.

This was his biggest gain of the day, without a doubt.

Next, he took out some skills and spells from Master Li Fu’s storage bag.

This person also practices fire magic, but the grade of his skills is also low human grade.

This is normal.

Fang Sheng had heard before that Master Li Fu obtained a jade slip of inheritance from a cave dwelling of an ancient when he was in his twenties.

Inside is a first-grade, mid-quality talisman inheritance.

Then he spent more than 30 years concentrating on studying, and gradually became rich.

Most of the cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation who have had adventures are like Master Li Fu.

The first half of life is filled with adventures, the second half is filled with accumulation, and enough children are born, slowly developing into a family of immortal cultivators...

Fang Sheng continued to grope and soon found the inheritance jade slip.

The dark green ancient jade slip, after being rubbed countless times, exudes a warm luster that has accumulated for thousands of years.

"Next, I can spare some time to study it secretly..."

Fang Sheng was not too excited.

His focus still had to be on alchemy, because only by refining the alchemy could he obtain essence and blood for free.

Drawing talismans won’t work.

He continued to grope around, and after a while he took out another box. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of spiritual stones.

"One thousand two hundred spirit stones!"

“I don’t know whether it is a reward from the He family or the accumulation of Master Li Fu in the Zheng family over the years.”

Maybe both.

"This amount of spiritual stones is enough for me to continue to advance Qinglian's advancement according to the plan."

Fang Sheng couldn't help but smile.

He even had the urge to immediately go to Shenhu Market to buy up the blood of the wild rhinoceros and quickly advance Qinglian.

In just a moment, this false thought was suppressed.

It would be too conspicuous for a person in the early stage of Qi Refining to run to Shenhu Market with hundreds or thousands of spirit stones to buy a large amount of essence and blood.

That is courting death.

"Others only have one life, so they have to fight, but I still have another life."

"Hold still, don't wave!"

Fang Sheng glanced at Qinglian and saw that the charging progress was almost halfway done.

It's only about eleven years away from full charging.

After taking out this much, there was only one thing left in Master Li Fu’s storage bag.

A token with the word "He" on it.

I don't know what it's useful for.

Fang Sheng looked at it carefully and found a map engraved on it...

"This token is extraordinary. There may be tracking information on it. I will bury it under the Purple River later and take it out after confirming its purpose..."

The remaining storage bag belonged to Master Li Fu’s goddaughter.

There are some daily necessities in it.

There are a few mid-grade magical instruments, which appear to be used by Master Li Fu.

I guess she tricked it into my hands for safekeeping.

No wonder there was not a single magical weapon in Master Li Fu’s storage bag.

These magical instruments are stolen goods and cannot be seen in public.

If you want to use it, you must hide your identity.

"My Qingyang Sword and storage bag are not easy to expose, so I can just change into Master Li Fu's set..."

"The gold belt for murder and arson is indeed worthy of its reputation."

"I originally had to save up spirit stones for four or five years, but now I have enough. From now on, I just need to focus on refining pills and practicing, and wait for the progress of accumulating the wild bone essence and blood to be completed."

After Fang Sheng dealt with the remaining matters, he quietly returned to Ziyan Valley through the Zi River.

No one noticed he had left.

He did not return to the yard early, but went to the nearby mountains, found a beautiful mountain, and indulged himself in nature.

In a blink of an eye, four or five days passed.

During this period of time, all the emotions that had been pent up in my heart seemed to be absorbed and cleansed by this vast world, and my mind returned to clarity and tranquility.

Even the Spirit Fire Sutra, which I had not known how to improve before, now had some ideas.

Therefore, Fang Sheng took some time out to stay in the mountains to improve his skills.

……

Half a month later, early morning.

Fang Sheng sat cross-legged in the small bamboo house he had built on the top of the mountain, his eyes slightly closed, the Spirit Fire Meridian in his body circulating in the small circle.

The surrounding spiritual energy was ethereal, forming a weak airflow that lingered around his body.

"After referring to other low-grade techniques and improving a few common flaws, the current Spirit Fire Sutra's cultivation speed is roughly equivalent to that of a mid-grade human..."

"But this is already the limit. With my understanding, I don't know where to go next..."

Fang Sheng stopped practicing his martial arts and let out a long sigh.

There is no way, the foundation of the lower-grade human-level skills is too poor.

An egg is just an egg, no matter what, it will never hatch a phoenix.

When Fang Sheng first chose to practice the Spirit Fire Sutra, he had actually anticipated what would happen today.

However, the Spirit Fire Sutra was already the best choice at that time.

"From today's perspective, it's meaningless to blame my past self."

"Nine out of ten times, life is not as you wish."

"Let's seize the moment and continue to improve our spiritual roots. As long as our spiritual roots are good, we can more or less make up for the shortcomings of our cultivation method..."

Fang Sheng stood up, stretched, patted his storage bag and summoned the Qingyang Sword.

Then he flew up the flying sword and slowly went down the mountain...
