Cultivating Immortality Starts with Rubbing a Computer

Chapter 18 Meeting
The cultivators from the Dahe Sect arrived very slowly. Fang Qicheng received the news early on, but he did not dare to be negligent at all. He quickly ordered his clansmen to prepare for the reception.

However, the people from the Dahe Sect had not arrived yet. Fang Qicheng was worried, but he did not dare to ask them when they would arrive. He could only wait with his people day and night, for fear of missing the opportunity to welcome them.

Two days and one night passed, and everyone in the Fang family was already exhausted, but they still did not dare to slack off.

"boom--!"

There was a roar coming from the distant sky, as if the heaven and earth were shaking.

A chariot pulled by Pegasus came through the air. The chariot was made entirely of spiritual wood and had exquisite murals carved on its body. In the mist, patterns of flying cranes and galloping spiritual beasts could be vaguely seen, making it look extremely luxurious.

When the carriage slowly landed in front of the Fang family cultivators, Fang Qicheng hurriedly led everyone forward, bowed and saluted, his voice trembling slightly: "Welcome to the Dahe Sect's envoy!"

The servant driving the car was known to have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. He had a cold expression on his face, his gaze sweeping across the Fang family like a knife, and his tone was icy: "Who is the head of the Fang family?"

Fang Qicheng's heart tightened, and he quickly replied, "Your Excellency, the Fang family's Patriarch is in seclusion and cannot be seen for the time being."

The servant frowned. "Is my words not clear enough, or is it that your consciousness is flawed and you can't understand? Unless you die, even if you are disabled or crippled, you must welcome the master."

Fang Qicheng's forehead was covered with sweat, and he quickly explained: "The envoy's words are very clear, but the Death Pass cuts off the inside and outside, and communication is poor. How can we just interrupt it?"

The servant sneered, "It seems I'm asking too much. I've heard that those in seclusion always leave a way to communicate with the outside world. How can we cut off all contact?"

Fang Qicheng was terrified and quickly lowered his head and said, "No, the envoy is not trying to make things difficult for me. It's my fault, but..."

At this moment, a cold female voice rang out from inside the car. Although the voice was not loud, it carried an unquestionable majesty: "This is the Nine Apertures Yunling Pill. Take one pill and you will be able to break through any obstacle. Go and have Fang Jun take it quickly, and come to see me immediately."

Before he finished speaking, a crystal clear jade bottle flew out of the car and landed steadily in front of Fang Qicheng.

The jade bottle was engraved with complicated runes and had a faint glow flowing from it, which clearly showed that it was not an ordinary object.

Fang Qicheng smiled bitterly in his heart, but did not dare to hesitate for a moment. He quickly handed the pill to his tribesmen and told them to go look for Fang Jun again.

This time Fang Jun did meet him, but he said he didn't know how long it would take for him to be released and that he would have to wait patiently.

As time passed, the servant on the flying carriage grew increasingly gloomy. Finally, unable to contain himself any longer, he shouted, "Where's the Fang family's Patriarch? Why hasn't he appeared yet?"

Fang Qicheng's forehead was covered with sweat, and he could only bite the bullet and answer, "Your Excellency, it will take time to break through. Maybe there is not enough time now, or maybe... maybe the elixir is not working, and the master is still in seclusion."

Upon hearing this, the servant flew into a rage, his voice booming like thunder: "You're lying! How could the master's elixir be so slow in effect, or even useless?"

"First, you were negligent, and then you disappeared after swallowing the pill. Are you, the Fang family, teasing us? If we don't see Fang Jun today, the Fang family will never exist again in this world!"

Fang Qicheng said quickly, "I dare not! I dare not! Your Excellency, please calm down. The Fang family has absolutely no such intention!"

At this moment, a cold female voice rang out from the carriage again: "Lei Pu, don't be so overbearing. Since the Fang family master is having such a hard time breaking through, I will personally go to his retreat and lend him a helping hand."

Fang Qicheng sighed inwardly, resenting Fang Jun. He could already come out of seclusion to obtain the elixir, so why did he need to remain in seclusion for any longer? He could have just come out and met the envoy, and then gone back into seclusion.

"No need! I have successfully broken through!" A sword light cut through the sky and landed on the scene, revealing Fang Jun in a green shirt.

He looked calm, his eyes were like torches, and although his aura was a little unstable, he had already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Lei Pu was furious: "How dare you delay the master for such a long time! Do you know that the master's time is precious? A little delay like this will waste countless spirit stones."

Fang Jun sighed, "Your Excellency, please calm down. It wasn't my fault. It was actually very difficult to break through. Fortunately, I was able to succeed with the help of Your Excellency's Nine Apertures Rhythm Spirit Pill."

After saying this, he fully demonstrated his cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining, but his breath was unstable, as if he could fall back to a lower level at any time.

If it weren't for the support of the Nine-Aperture Yunling Pill's energy in his body, he would have collapsed long ago.

The cold female voice sounded again, her tone as if it were a matter of course: "It is not your fault, and you are forgiven. I came to see you today to discuss your joining the upper sect."

Fang Jun bowed and asked, "What's the matter?"

A cold female voice said, "Before entering the Shanyue Sect, there is still a test, and that is the journey to the Red Cloud Sword Palace."

Fang Jun frowned slightly and asked, "What is this test?"

A cold female voice said, "There are secret realms in the world, but the laws of nature within these realms are flawed, making it difficult for cultivators to survive. The Red Cloud Sword Palace belongs to this secret realm, but its carrying capacity is limited, and even those who have established their foundation cannot enter."

"But the Heavenly Dao is flawed, and within that flaw lies a rare treasure. Within it lies the dusk grass, one of the three foundation-building herbs. Enter and pick one of its flowers to complete the test. Of course, you don't have to answer, but you'll lose the chance to enter the Upper Sect."

Fang Jun nodded: "Okay, I'm willing to come in."

Lei Pu said, "Then you should follow him and achieve your goal."

With that, Lei Pu whipped the Pegasus with his whip, and the carriage instantly reversed direction and flew away. Fang Jun followed closely behind, transforming into a sword light, leaving a golden sword shadow in his wake.

After Fang Jun left, Fang Qicheng privately said to Fang Qihe beside him, "I thought the Patriarch would be unruly and refuse to submit to the power of the Dahe Sect. Just like he refused to submit to the previous Patriarch."

Fang Qihe laughed and said, "Is that the same thing? Fang Tianxiong wanted his life. Although the Dahe Sect is overbearing, that is common sense. Everyone understands it."

Fang Qicheng sighed, "I don't know what drove the previous patriarch crazy. He would rather favor Yang and her son than push our Fang family's Qilin'er away."

Fang Qihe said, "No one can tell the truth about love and fate. However, for the family, this was the act of a foolish ruler. Fortunately, the head of the family rectified the chaos and put the family back on track."

Fang Qicheng nodded and said, "Thank you, Patriarch, for your contribution to the Fang family. And in the future, as long as Patriarch can successfully join the Shanyue Sect, our Fang family may become the second Dahe Sect."

Fang Qihe said, "If that happens, our cultivation might be able to advance even further. Not to mention exploring the foundation building stage, we could at least reach the ninth level of Qi Refining and refine our own magical treasure."

Fang Qicheng said: "One step in the process of cultivating immortality brings one to a higher level. The scenery at a higher level always makes people yearn for it."

Fang Qicheng and Fang Qihe smiled at each other, as if they had abandoned the barriers left over from the Fang Tianxiong era because of their vision for the future.
