Fangxian Heretical Path

Chapter 101 Those who have reached the second stage of tribulation can transcend it.

The man with a face as white as paper immediately drove the skeletons carrying poles, step by step, into the lead-stone mine.

Surprisingly, this man encountered many miners along the way, but they all ignored him and walked right past him.

Only the most perceptive immortals suddenly felt a chill beside them, as if a cold wind had blown by, but when they turned around to look, they found nothing amiss.

When the man with a face as white as paper arrived at the Cao family's mine, his smile widened as he looked at the scene of corpses strewn across the mine.

Especially when this person followed the spiritual energy in the mine and found the White Bone Medicine Cave, and saw the mountain of bones, he was overjoyed.

"Heh, such a treasure trove shouldn't be missed!"
The creatures here are plentiful, their blood and flesh abundant, and their resentment is astounding. We must carefully refine several Daoist weapons from them!

Immediately, this person hid inside the White Bone Cave and began collecting the accumulated death energy and corpse energy to perform that secret technique.

Neither the other mine owners nor the people in the market noticed this person's actions.

After failing to locate the culprit behind last night's turmoil for the time being, they continued to deal with the troubles at the mine, hunt down the miners, and try every means to divide up the share of the Cao family's mine.

Those who failed to get a share of the mine immediately turned their attention to the miners and miners in the Cao family's mine.

Faced with the obvious benefits, they suppressed their fears and vied to recruit these miners and miners for their own use, then drove them into the most arduous and exhausting caves to mine.

During this period, it wasn't that the miners and miners' slaves didn't rebel again.

However, after the mine owners weathered the initial chaos, people from the market town came and suppressed the trouble before the miners and miners could cause any major problems.

Moreover, all the miners and miners in Cao's mine, regardless of whether they had stolen the day before or had always owned them, were accused of robbery and had all their possessions confiscated.

Some of the miners even had their blood-nourishing magical artifacts stripped off.

Several days later, the entire Qianshan area returned to normal on the surface, and the Cao family's mine melted easily into other mines, just like a piece of lard.

Those miners and miners, on the surface, also reverted to their obedient appearance.

Thus, the impact of this turmoil has been clarified by those who are interested.

When they realized that although the lead mine almost caused a major disaster, in reality only the mine owner and a group of monsters died, and no major trouble actually occurred.

On the contrary, this incident made them all have some soup, which led to no one caring about what exactly happened during the turbulent night, or who started it.

Or perhaps, they are all suspicious of each other.

Such a sophisticated and cautious approach, coupled with an extremely familiar understanding of the mine's situation, and the fact that they only targeted the Cao family's mine, which was known for having the most monsters, all suggested that this was the work of someone from the mine.

Gradually, the mine riot was forgotten, as if nothing had ever happened.

Only the miners and miners in the mines still pass on the story by word of mouth.

The news of the riot that happened overnight had spread throughout the entire mine in Qianshan. Even newcomers to the mine would know about this exciting event after a few days.

………………

the other side.

Inside the Dugu Pavilion, Fang Shu focused intently on his seclusion, undisturbed by anyone. He, too, had completely forgotten about the affairs at the mine.

This day.

He sat cross-legged in a large vat, with charcoal burning beneath it and mercury and other medicinal herbs being steamed inside.

He sat cross-legged, his muscles writhing and twisting like an eel, making his figure appear particularly ferocious.

A metallic sheen covered his entire body, making him appear like a lacquered statue, imposing and awe-inspiring. At this moment, Fang Shu was tempering his body, employing a dual cultivation method of external boiling and internal refining to double the growth of his own qi and blood.

Suddenly, a cracking sound rang out beneath him!
The water vat, which had been steaming for nearly a month, could not withstand the erosion and friction of the charcoal fire, mercury, and blood, and suddenly cracked.

But as the charcoal fire flickered and sparks flew, no mercury liquid flowed out of the broken vat.

A strange scene unfolded in the quiet room.

The mercury liquid in the vat continued to surround Fang Shu's body like a sphere, swirling around, while the outside was enveloped by a silver-purple stream of air.

A vat of mercury was temporarily imprisoned in his body by Fang Shu's qi and blood, continuing to temper his body.

This extraordinary sight lasted for a full eighteen breaths.

Fang Shu let out a long breath, and with a crackling sound, a vat of mercury splashed into the quiet room, extinguishing the charcoal fire and leaving the bottom of the well in a mess.

He opened his eyes and saw the scene at the mouth of the well. He didn't find it annoying or irritating at all; instead, his eyes were filled with joy.

*Smack!*

He circulated his qi and blood, releasing it outwards, not by swirling around his body, but by standing upright above his head.

This stream of energy was thick and strong, standing tall and reaching a height of three zhang!
Today, he has already completed his cultivation of the Second Tribulation Realm, and his Qi and blood have reached three zhang, allowing him to challenge the tribulation and advance to the Third Tribulation Immortal Realm.

Not only that, Fang Shu's mind sank, and his thoughts fell on the Dao talisman in his mind.

Clear characters are emerging from the talisman:
[Realm Level: Capable of Transcending Tribulation (78% chance)]

Having just completed his cultivation of Qi and Blood, his probability of successfully transcending the tribulation has reached 70% to 80%, seemingly a sure thing.

Next, he only needs to spend a few more days refining his qi and blood, and patiently prepare some methods, and his probability of passing the tribulation will definitely increase again, reaching more than 90%!

A look of joy and anticipation involuntarily rose on Fang Shu's face.

Immediately, he wanted to continue immersing himself in cultivation, quickly pushing the probability of transcending the tribulation to over 90%, the higher the better, and then break through the barrier and transcend the tribulation.

However, after some thought, he slowly stopped practicing and began to tidy up the various debris at the bottom of the well.

During his seclusion, it wasn't that no one came to visit him.

Occasionally, Fang Shu would write down what he needed on a note and hang it out with a rope, asking his second uncle, Yu Le, to deliver it to him.

Therefore, he was not entirely ignorant of what was happening inside the Dugu Pavilion. One particular point, in particular, concerned him.

That was half a month ago, when Qin Min saw that he had already emerged from seclusion, although he did not publicly disclose the gains he had made during his seclusion.

However, judging from the various signs in the inner courtyard, this woman has successfully transcended the tribulation and advanced to become a third-tribulation immortal!
Even as the master of the Dugu Pavilion, Qin Min, a member of the Three Tribulations Immortal Clan, could no longer keep her confined to her room. So he tacitly allowed her to move freely within the Dugu Pavilion and Guling Town, no longer requiring her to go into seclusion, as long as she didn't go out to cause trouble or show off.

Thinking about this matter, Fang Shu restrained his emotions and tried his best to calm his mind.

Whether this woman breaks through to the next level or not is none of his business; he only needs to focus on his own cultivation.

According to what his second uncle, Yu Le, had inquired about, Qin Min seemed to have received rewards and subsidies from the academy before and after her breakthrough to the third tribulation in seclusion. This was something that Fang Shu should pay attention to and not miss.

After tidying up the miscellaneous items, Fang Shu, unusually, left the pass midway and rushed into the council hall in the inner courtyard.

His ostensible purpose was to inform the master of his cultivation progress, but in reality, he was demanding the financial assistance he was entitled to.
