Immortal of Eternal Life and Endless Ages

Chapter 46: Promotion to a Retainer (Seeking monthly ticket to read)

"How much are these two jade slips?"

Fang Sheng held the jade slip in his hand and asked about the price.

The old man suddenly perked up.

He rubbed his old hands and laughed softly:
"Fellow Daoist, it is extremely difficult to collect these skills, and doing our job is very risky."

"Well, I'll give you a friendly price. It only costs one hundred spirit stones. You can take all seven hundred versions of the skills..."

Fang Sheng didn't even listen, and immediately said:

"Ten spirit stones, two jade slips, I'll leave you a profit of six spirit stones..."

"Well, well..."

The old man pretended to think, and finally sighed:
"Considering that I haven't opened the shop yet, please take it away!"

"Here I have not only water and fire techniques, but also techniques of other attributes..."

"No thanks, these skills are enough."

Fang Sheng put down the spirit stone and left.

behind him.

The old man held the spirit stone in his hands, his eyes filled with joy.

When other stall owners saw the deal, they also started to try to attract customers.

"Fellow Daoist, take a look at the second-level refining inheritance on my stall!"

"On my stall, there are also magic weapons obtained from the Deep Lake Secret Realm..."

Amidst the polite comments, Fang Sheng quickly left Sishufang Market.

……

That night.

Purple Smoke Valley.

Fang Sheng returned to Qingfeng Forest, took out two jade slips of martial arts techniques from his storage bag, and examined them with his mind.

Of course, he didn't buy these two jade slips to be a sucker.

But it’s because of the Nuwa Emperor Technique…

The original magic power of this technique can protect the meridians.

It can not only be used to switch between cultivation methods.

It also has miraculous effects when used in testing martial arts techniques!

now.

Fang Sheng was quickly browsing the contents of the jade slip.

Various complex and obscure skills constantly washed over his mind.

No matter which exercise method they are, they all seem to be perfect, making it impossible to tell the mistakes.

"It is indeed the work of a powerful force. Just looking at the surface of the technique, I cannot see any obvious clues with my limited understanding..."

Fang Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

This is a work that is so realistic that it is hard to tell the difference between the real thing and the fake one.

If other cultivators were faced with nearly a thousand versions of these techniques.

The only way is to rely on your own understanding of Taoism, gradually find out the errors, and eliminate them one by one.

Not only is it laborious, but it can also be a thankless task...

“But I’m different from the others.”

"I have the protection of my original magic power, so I don't need to worry about damaging my meridians."

Therefore, if you want to know which version of the exercises has problems, there is no need to analyze and study them.

Once it gets going, problems will naturally become apparent.

After a moment.

Fang Sheng selected a set of exercises.

This is exactly what the old man mentioned before, the core skill of Qianhuo Taoist Palace, "Qianyuan Daohuo Lu".

There are as many as thirty editions.

"These are most likely smoke bombs released by the Dao Palace..."

Fang Sheng actually didn't have any hope for this.

If the Taoist skills were really leaked, the Eastern Branch of Zihe River would be turned upside down.

The final result was consistent with his expectations.

It turned out to be false.

No matter which version among the thirty versions of the exercises.

As long as Fang Sheng tries to practice the fourth level of Qi Refining method.

The magic power in the body will dissipate instantly and cannot be transformed at all.

"It only took me five days to sort out these thirty versions of the technique. If it were someone else, they would probably have only just finished studying the first version..."

"I can probably eliminate six sets of exercises every day."

"It will take less than half a year to inspect these two jade slips completely..."

The next few days.

Fang Sheng maintained his daily practice and at the same time eliminated the misprinted exercises in the jade slips.

At the same time, an unexpected discovery was made.

That is, the misprinted skills of some powerful forces can actually be practiced!

Some of them can even practice all the way to the third level of Qi Refining.

Only when one reaches the fourth level will the power suddenly dissipate, and all the magic power collapse... "Hiss! The method is really cruel, first wasting others' time for several years or even more than ten years, and then making them go crazy."

……

Time is like water.

Two months passed in a flash.

When Fang Sheng finally found a top-grade human-level skill from the jade slip.

The Zheng family also welcomed a rare happy event.

Taoist Shuimu got married.

Before this, when Fang Sheng broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, he had personally come to deliver the invitation.

The woman comes from a small family.

His own cultivation level is at the third level of Qi Refining, while the highest level in his clan is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Compared with a behemoth like the Zheng family, it is totally not worth mentioning.

This is also the reason why Zheng Jinli chose her.

On the wedding night, Taoist Shuimu's face became less serious and gloomy, and he smiled from time to time.

Fang Sheng presented his gift, and then sat on one side of the banquet with the young Xian Miao. Seeing this scene from afar, he felt inexplicably moved.

For a monk, starting a family and a career means having concerns and weaknesses.

On weekdays, you also need to pay attention to family matters.

It is difficult to devote a lot of energy to spiritual practice.

Especially for someone with a medium spiritual root like Shuimu Taoist, getting married is actually a signal to give up on building a foundation...

"It is so difficult to build a foundation!"

Fang Sheng shook his head and sighed in his heart.

There were more than just people from the Zheng family at the wedding banquet.

At the same time, a banquet was also held for the surrounding forces.

The people from the He family of Taoyun Mountain were also here, all with smiles on their faces, surrounding Taoist Shuimu to congratulate him.

It was as if the siege had never happened before.

Suddenly, Fang Sheng noticed a lonely figure.

"Zheng Chilong..."

This person sat there stupidly.

He looked dazed and had not yet recovered from the failure of building his foundation.

"I heard that Patriarch Zheng is also interested in finding a good match for him, and the news has spread among the surrounding forces."

"Obviously he saw his condition."

but……

Fang Sheng could sense that this person still felt unwilling.

It just doesn't help anymore.

Under Zheng Jinli's decision, the Zheng family has shifted from its previous period of expansion to a period of overall contraction.

In the past few years, half of the small shops outside have been sold off.

The three previous guest officials were all expelled after the crisis.

More than half of the dozens of original retainers voluntarily resigned.

Now, the Zheng family has no possibility of being promoted to a foundation-building family.

Before, the Zheng family relied on the Taoist Palace to build their foundation. They also had three first-grade top-grade alchemists and two people with medium spiritual roots who had the potential to build their foundation.

It can be said that the scene is thriving.

The overall strength is also approaching that of the foundation-building family, and the only thing missing is a real Zheng family foundation-building family...

As a result, in the blink of an eye.

The two middle-level spiritual roots all lost hope of building a foundation, and two first-grade top-quality alchemists were also killed in the battle.

Among the high-level alchemists, only Zheng Jinli is left struggling to hold on.

Although he was promoted to the second-rank alchemist, he consumed a lot of his life in refining the foundation-building pill.

He usually looks dead.

Who knows how long he can live?

In this situation, it is natural that the monkeys scatter when the tree falls, and those who can run away will run away.

The current Zheng family has the strength of a normal Qi-refining clan.

After Taoist Shuimu’s wedding.

Fang Sheng attended several weddings in succession, and the grooms were all young immortals.

They only came to the Zheng family two years ago.

And the brides are all from the Zheng family.

This is because the Zheng family urgently needed to replenish manpower, so they increased the bride's dowry to seduce Xian Miao.

In the face of interests, the immortal seedlings all married into the bride's family.

This time, Fang Sheng remained unmoved.

In the end, Zheng Jinli still remembered him...

the next day.

Taoist Shuimu found Qingfeng Forest and said to Fang Sheng when he saw him for the first time:
"Mr. Fang, are you willing to become a guest of the Zheng family?"

　A little late, my wrist and finger problems recurred today...
