The Path to Immortality

"This Thousand Illusion Bracelet is really powerful!"

Fang Ping was extremely satisfied.

With this magic weapon, all the previous complex and cumbersome disguise methods with unsatisfactory effects can be discarded.

After trying for a while, Fang Ping took off the bracelet and said to the blue-shirted steward: "This magic weapon is not bad, I want it."

The blue-shirted steward's tone became more and more enthusiastic: "This is a top-grade magic weapon, and it is a very rare disguise type magic weapon. It is expensive. If you want it, I will give you a preferential price, two thousand spirit stones!"

Two thousand spirit stones?

This is to regard him as the enemy.

Fang Ping frowned and argued rationally: "This Thousand Illusion Bracelet is certainly useful, but once you compete with others, the disguise effect will be greatly reduced. What's more, it is a second-hand magic weapon, and the patterns on it are somewhat worn. The price of two thousand spirit stones is too high. Some are too stupid!”

Seeing Fang Ping reveal the biggest shortcoming of this magical weapon, the steward in blue shirt knew that he had met a discerning person.

However, as for business, he was not embarrassed at all.

He said with a smile: "What the distinguished guest said is not unreasonable. Let's do this. I will give the distinguished guest a 20% discount, and it only costs 1,600 spirit stones!"

This price is still amazing.

Many low-level casual cultivators may have never seen so many spiritual stones in their lives.

Although Fang Ping could afford the price, he still had to have an attitude of making every penny count.

After another round of bargaining, the two parties finally settled the deal at a price of 1,550 spiritual stones.

After receiving the items, Fang Ping was not polite and changed his appearance on the spot.

With the image of a bold man, he quickly walked out of the Treasure Pavilion.

So much so that the female cultivator outside who was responsible for welcoming guests was stunned for a moment, doubting her own eyesight and memory.

"More than 1,500 spirit stones...it seems that's not all that person's net worth!"

After sending Fang Ping away, the blue-shirted steward's expression changed.

If this spiritual stone were placed on a ninth- or tenth-level qi-training monk, he might not be tempted at all.

Although the monk used some means to blur his realm, the blue-shirted steward was certain that his strength would not exceed the seventh level of Qi training at most.

This is a little too tempting.

Although the changes in the Qianhuan Bracelet were miraculous, when the other party left, he used a unique technique to leave a small mark on the other party's clothes, which would not dissipate within three days.

Otherwise, did this happen?

Although Zhenbao Pavilion has a strong brand and strict control and review of management at all levels, when it comes to individuals, there is no guarantee that all members will be disloyal.

After hesitating for half a minute, the steward in blue shirt gritted his teeth, found an excuse to take half a day off, and quickly chased after him.

However, just as he followed the secret method for several miles, on the way down the mountain from Fangshi, the clues came to an abrupt end.

The blue-shirted steward searched nearby for a moment in confusion, and then found a small pile of burned to ashes in the woods not far from the road!

His face was stunned, and he suddenly froze in place.

………

Leave from the city.

Fang Ping really didn't know that he had aroused the evil thoughts of a steward of Zhenbao Pavilion.

But over the years and many trips to the market, he had already developed his own habits of avoiding tracking.

The received spiritual herbs, spiritual stones and other items will be initially identified before leaving the market to ensure that there is no manipulation on them.

In addition, he would throw away his original clothes on the way down the mountain, and use the dust-repelling technique at least twice to clean his body, and finally sprinkle the powder he personally prepared to confuse and mask his breath.

These precautions cannot be said to be a 100% way to avoid robbery.

But at least most of the common techniques can be avoided by him.

Although it may be a little too careful and cautious, the world of immortality is a cruel world after all, and no matter how careful you are, you are always right.

After breaking away from the air-forbidden effect of the Fangshi Formation, Fang Ping threw his flying sword and flew back to Yunyang Peak at full speed.

It wasn't until he was about to enter the scope of the mountain gate that he canceled the effect of the Thousand Fantasy Bracelet and revealed his true form again.

………

At the Luoyunfang auction, although Fang Ping gained a lot, he failed to buy the first-level alchemy inheritance he wanted most.

Fortunately, he still has a complete second-level formation inheritance in his hands.

Since Alchemy cannot be improved for the time being, Fang Ping is not in a hurry. While continuing to use water grinding skills to attack the bottleneck of the seventh level of Qi training, he continued to study the formation.

Occasionally, when I have free time, I will try to figure out ancient Taoist scriptures.

Although the [Taixu Sword Talisman] recorded on the silver foil page has been interpreted by him, Fang Ping has not discarded the tool of ancient Taoist texts.

On the one hand, after all, a lot of energy has been invested, so it is a pity to shelve it like this; on the other hand, when Fang Ping was studying formations a few days ago, he accidentally discovered that there seemed to be many similarities between ancient Taoist texts and formation patterns. place.

At first, Fang Ping was a little surprised by this.

But after thinking about it, it seems reasonable.

The formation pattern itself is a direct manifestation of the power of heaven and earth.

The ancient Taoist scriptures were also comprehended by the original monks in this world, who had a natural feeling when observing the world.

It's so normal that the two have something in common.

"This is a very interesting discovery. Perhaps, I can pay more attention to the relationship between the two, confirm each other, and draw parallels!"

Fang Ping vaguely felt that he had found a shortcut to study the formation.

And after just two months of trying, Fang Ping was pleasantly surprised to find that his attainments in formations had improved visibly to the naked eye!

In addition to the low-grade maze array that he had already mastered, Fang Ping quickly mastered another low-grade green bamboo array.

With his confidence greatly increased, he immediately began to use this method of mutual verification and analogy to comprehend the medium-grade basic array [Withered Bone Illusion Array] that he bought from the market!

If this attempt is also successful, Fang Ping can confirm the correctness of his guess.

Perhaps, he really found a key that can help him open the door to the profound and obscure array!

………

Another week has passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Fang Ping had just left the lecture hall of the inner gate and listened to a foundation-building master's explanation of the difficulties of practicing Qi in the late stage.

When he was about to fly back to the cave of Yunyang Peak, a familiar cultivator chased out from behind.

"Fang Daoyou, stay!"

The cultivator stopped Fang Ping.

"Are you... Yin Buer, cultivator Yin from the No. 17 cave of Yunyang Peak?"

Fang Ping stopped, turned around and took a look, recognizing the other party's identity.

His cave is No. 13, which is relatively close to the other party's cave. When Fang Ping practiced Ziyang Sutra on the top of Yunyang Peak every sunrise, he had met him several times and had a few conversations with him.

Among the dozens of cultivators in Yunyang Peak, Fang Ping could only call out the names of a few.

"It's really not easy to make Fellow Daoist Fang remember you."

Yin Buer sighed, hurried a few steps, and walked side by side with Fang Ping.

When they came to the corridor outside the lecture hall and saw that there was no one around, cultivator Yin suddenly asked: "I heard that Fellow Daoist Fang is an apprentice of the Dao of Alchemy who has been immersed in the Dao of Alchemy for many years?"
