Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 236 Pleasure

laugh!

Fang Qing raised his hand, and a sword light flew out. Amidst the starry sky, a sword aura suddenly dissipated, transforming into countless sword threads.

It was none other than the peerless sword technique "Refining Swords into Silk"!

"It's no use, sword cultivators... It's not like I haven't killed them before."

The Heart-Eating Hermit grinned maliciously. His "Black Spirit Silk" was highly poisonous, adept at breaking through magical shields, and could even corrupt magical treasures!

Even the flying swords of sword cultivators, once entangled by his black spirit silk, would lose much of their spirituality in a short time.

But as the sword threads clashed with the black spirit threads, a surprising scene unfolded.

puff!

Strands of sword threads crisscrossed, instantly severing the black spirit silk as if it were made of paper!

"No! Impossible!"

The Heart-Eating Hermit's hair was disheveled, his face filled with disbelief, and he suddenly made a hand seal.

The two-headed python that had transformed from the flying fork swooped down, while his own men quietly retreated.

At this time, the demonic arts had not yet completely eroded his Dao heart. When he encountered an enemy that was difficult to defeat, he naturally had to flee.

"Brother Bai?"

Wang Ziqin and Wang Zixuan had already given up hope, but seeing this scene, they couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, as if they had been given a chance to escape a desperate situation.

"Too weak! Too weak!"

Fang Qing shook his head. If a sword cultivator's natal flying sword is so easily corrupted, wouldn't all sword cultivators who practice the Dao of Qi be wiped out?

That "Kill the Wolf" technique, capable of transforming between form and substance through three stages, was originally an incomparably sharp golden aura when condensed. How could it be corrupted? At this moment, his sword technique changed, and he unleashed the "Heavenly Escape Sword Technique" with unrestrained freedom, his body and sword becoming one, transforming into a stunning streak that swept past the two-headed black python. Crack!

Thunder rumbled.

When the sword light passed, the two-headed black python suddenly froze, let out a mournful cry, and transformed into a flying fork.

At that moment, the flying fork was suddenly split in two, the cut surface perfectly smooth.

dong dong!

The Black Poison Bell was entangled by strands of sword energy, and let out a mournful cry before losing its spiritual power and transforming into a small bell that floated in the air.

"elder sister…"

Wang Zixuan only saw Fang Qing chase after him before the black poisoned bell fell as if it had lost its power. A terrifying thought arose in her mind: "That Fellow Daoist Bai Jianfeng, he wouldn't have killed... even the Heart-Eating Hermit, would he?" "I've always heard that sword cultivators are skilled in combat and can kill in the blink of an eye. Seeing it today, I know their reputation is well-deserved!"

Wang Ziqin sighed softly, and then a flash of sword light appeared, revealing Fang Qing's figure, holding a severed head in his hand. Who else could it be but the Heart-Eating Hermit? "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on slaying a formidable enemy..."

Wang Zixuan's voice trembled slightly. After all, this was a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator who was more skilled in demonic arts and had astonishing combat power!

If Bai Jianfeng could easily kill Shi Xin Sanren, wouldn't that mean... he could also easily kill the two of them?

Wang Ziqin suddenly felt that the Black Poison Bell in her hand was a bit hot, so she quickly offered it with both hands: "The Heart-Eating Hermit was killed by you, fellow Daoist. His magical treasures and storage bag should rightfully belong to you..." Fang Qing took the Black Poison Bell with a half-smile on his face and casually tossed it into his storage bag.

Wang Zixuan and her sister exchanged a glance, and then she said, "We sisters are willing to offer the osprey beast and all the spiritual creatures in its nest to you, fellow Daoist..." Fang Qing didn't stand on ceremony and agreed immediately, as it was what he deserved.

Wang Ziqin and her sister exchanged a glance, then suddenly became enthusiastic: "Fellow Daoist Bai, would you like to stay at my home for a while? We sisters must properly repay your life-saving grace..." "Oh?"

Fang Qing secretly performed divination and a smile appeared on his face: "It's not impossible, but I've also heard about the fact that your Wang family and the three Tong family villains agreed to a duel..." "So you know about it, that's even better."

Wang Ziqin's expression remained unchanged, still full of smiles: "Fellow Daoist's methods are extraordinary. If you are willing to fight, you can choose any resources from my Wang family's treasure trove..." "I am, however, still lacking a few thousand-year-old spiritual herbs..."

Fang Qing smiled and said, "Aren't you going to lead the way?"

a few days later.

Wangjia Fairy Island.

A magnificent carriage suddenly arrived, and it seemed as if the sound of a zither could be heard from inside.

"Welcome, Ancestor!"

The Wang family members on the island quickly activated the formation to welcome the two Core Formation female cultivators back to the family.

But then the carriage stopped, and Wang Ziying got out, her face still flushed, followed by Wang Ziqin.

After Wang Ziqin alighted from the carriage, Fang Qing leisurely stepped out and stretched, saying, "The families of you two fellow Daoists... are quite prosperous indeed." Many members of the Wang family felt a pang of sadness upon seeing a male cultivator alight from the carriage of their two beautiful Core Formation cultivators. However, given the noble status of Core Formation cultivators, they could only offer their respects.

Before long, a streak of light flew over, revealing an old man in the mid-stage of Core Formation.

He was dressed like a wealthy landowner, with a ruddy complexion and white hair and beard. He laughed and said, "Ziqin, Zixuan... why don't you quickly introduce this handsome young man?" "Uncle Feng... this Brother Bai Jianfeng is a good friend of ours. He saved us sisters from danger this time..."

Wang Ziqin gave a brief introduction.

"I see. Please rest well, fellow Daoist. I will have a feast prepared immediately..."

This "Uncle Feng" was clearly an important figure in the Wang family, and quite connected to that late-stage Core Formation cultivator. He spoke and acted with a decisive and efficient air: "What Ziqin and Zixuan agreed to, I agreed to. Jin Yuan!"

He called out, and immediately a female cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment flew out and respectfully bowed: "Greetings, esteemed elders..."

"Let's take this fellow Daoist Bai to rest for a while..."

After Uncle Feng gave a few instructions, the graceful female cultivator immediately bowed to Fang Qingyan and said, "Honored guest... please!"

"Um."

Fang Qing followed the woman's escape light and arrived at a magnificent palace.

The cultivation experience of this clan truly far surpasses that of ordinary rogue cultivators and sects...

"Senior... I have always admired both of you aunts. May I ask what dangers you encountered on this trip?"

Wang Jinyuan was eloquent but also quite cunning, subtly probing and hinting at things.

"Oh?"

Fang Qing's face held a half-smile. Suddenly, he made a hand seal, calculating the cause and effect: "So that's why the Wang family suddenly became enemies with the three Tong villains! It turns out it's a factional struggle within your own family. Someone is secretly instigating, fanning the flames, trying to kill several Core Formation cultivators, framing Core Formation cultivators for Foundation Establishment? I've truly seen something new... Is it for resources? Or is it a factional struggle between different lineages? Hmm, probably both... You've gone too far. Harming your own family is one thing, but why involve the three Tong villains? Those three cultivate the 'Childlike Heart True Skill,' so not only are their bodies like children, but their minds are also immature. You're bullying fools! No wonder they wanted a life-or-death duel!" "What?"

Wang Jinyuan was immediately startled: "Senior... what are you saying? This junior doesn't understand..."

Fang Qing chuckled and shook his head: "Your two invited me here for a life-or-death sword duel, but my time is precious, I won't play any of your schemes. I prefer to overturn the chessboard... The one who came up with this plan was Wang Chufang, and the ones who cooperated were Wang Dalu and Wang Qiao... They were responsible for stirring up trouble, tricking Wang Jinfeng, Wang Jinhai, and 'Tong Zhen,' one of the three Tong villains, into a feud at Feiyanhai Market, right?" As he explained the characters, locations, and even clues to the conspiracy in detail, Wang Jinyuan's face turned deathly pale; seeing Fang Qing was like seeing a ghost! Fang Qing, however, simply smiled without saying a word, inwardly thinking:

"It's only because the Qi Refining Path has such a simple and honest folk culture that Foundation Establishment cultivators might be able to harm Core Formation cultivators... If they use relics or formations, Qi Refining cultivators could trap and kill Core Formation cultivators, or trick Nascent Soul cultivators into doing the same... "But in the Qi Absorption Path, after the Purple Mansion, there are ranks that can be easily calculated. Where is there such a good thing?"

"If I weren't afraid of scaring people, I could use my 'eloquence' talent to make Wang Jinyuan turn herself in and confess everything... to give these Core Formation cultivators of the Qi Refining Path a real eye-opener! But that would be too frightening, and they would think I used some kind of evil magic to control cultivators... But now? I can only say that I have a powerful force behind me, which is why I was able to find out so much information... The reason I flipped the table was naturally because Fang Qing was impatient to fight with someone using swords."

His time is precious; he's too busy refining pills and cultivating his own cultivation to have any time for playing these childish games.

The most convenient way would be to simply overturn the chessboard, let the Wang family make their decision, take the reward, and leave.

"Senior... you actually know all this, could you be from the Mishima Shimon sect? Or perhaps from one of the palaces or temples?"

Wang Jinyuan gave a bitter smile: "Such a powerful force is interested in my Wang family's mere Core Formation cultivators? Yes! I'm jealous of Wang Ziqin and Wang Zixuan... How am I inferior to them? Why am I the one who has reached Core Formation?" "But what benefit would you gain from eliminating your own Core Formation cultivators?"

Fang Qing deliberately provoked, "Aren't you afraid of the Wang family's downfall?"

"Hmph, as long as the late-stage Core Formation ancestor is around, what does it matter if a few early-stage Core Formation cultivators die? The old guy is just feeling sorry for them, that's why he's releasing his 'Golden Core'..." Wang Jinyuan sneered, then her expression changed drastically when she saw the talisman in Fang Qing's hand: "This is... a recording talisman?"

"Go explain to your own Core Formation cultivator, fellow Daoist."

Fang Qing smiled slightly.

Although Core Formation cultivators in the Qi Refining Path are generally weak, they can still find ways to torment lower-level cultivators if they really set their minds to it.

For example, the "Soul-Searching Technique of Splitting Gods"!

However, doing so would essentially cripple the person. Even within a sect, let alone a blood-related cultivation family, such a thing is impossible without evidence. But isn't there a photographic record as proof?

If the Core Formation cultivators of the Wang family so desire, they can definitely dig out all the rats.

But Fang Qing estimated that in the end only a few would die...

after all……

*They're both my flesh and blood. Even if there's suspicion of collusion with outsiders, in the end, there weren't any serious consequences, right? A few slaps on the wrist, and it's over... But that's none of my business. I'm just here to watch the show and collect my reward on the side...*

Fang Qing casually flicked out a communication talisman, and moments later, his divine sense detected that the entire Wang family was in turmoil. A pleased smile immediately appeared on his face...
