145. Chapter 145: Fighting the False Jin Dan (Seeking Monthly Tickets at the End of the Month)

Fang Xing's fingers were fair and delicate, as if they were the hands of a wealthy young master, yet they carried a terrifying demonic power of life and death.

Three fingers extended, but were blocked by a layer of tough light shield.

Foundation Establishment cultivators had liquid magic power, Jin Dan cultivators had Jin Dan true essence!

Even if Elder Zong had formed a False Jin Dan, he still possessed Dan essence, which transformed into a magic power shield for self-defense; ordinary spirit tools simply couldn't break the defense.

But at this moment, this layer of solid defense collapsed with a bang under Fang Xing's Great Jin Gang Prajna Divine Power!

Elder Zong's sea of consciousness was shaken by his martial will, making it difficult to make an effective reaction.

By the time he came to his senses, he saw his own true essence shield shatter like an eggshell under his opponent's three fingers, and a look of horror and despair couldn't help but appear on his face.

Unfortunately, it was already too late!

Fang Xing's three fingers swept across Elder Zong's neck, and the False Jin Dan Immortal's head flew into the sky.

He acted extremely fast, his palm sweeping downward to destroy most of Elder Zong's body.

After all, the higher the rank of a cultivator, the harder they were to kill; to avoid any accidents, finishing blows were indispensable.

Watching Elder Zong's corpse fall from high in the sky, Fang Xing looked at Immortal Zi Yuan again.

Although this Immortal looked heavily wounded, cultivators had many strange means, so he couldn't be too careful!

"Fellow Daoist... may I ask how to address you?"

Immortal Zi Yuan originally had good looks, but at this moment her face was covered in black energy, her appearance was extremely miserable, and she looked like she didn't have long to live.

She looked at Fang Xing, her eyes carrying a trace of hope.

But seeing Fang Xing's expressionless face, her heart couldn't help but sink.

"According to common sense, I should kill you."

Fang Xing floated in mid-air, his aura imposing: "Therefore... it's up to you to convince me to spare your little life."

Immortal Zi Yuan's eyes flickered immediately.

Being able to live, no one wanted to die.

Not to mention, this quasi-Rank 3 body cultivator had astonishing combat power, which even she might not be able to defeat in her prime.

Immortal Zi Yuan was worthy of being the founder of an immortal city; she instantly understood the situation and spoke three sentences:

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, this concubine is willing to make a Dao Heart oath never to leak today's events!"

"If Fellow Daoist is still worried, this concubine has a Rank 3 spirit contract in her storage bag!"

"This concubine is willing to pay money to buy her life; in this concubine's storage bag, there are still twenty-seven high-grade spirit stones... besides that, this concubine also knows the news of a spirit item that is very useful to body cultivators, and is willing to tell Fellow Daoist everything!"

"A spirit item very useful to body cultivators, could it be Rank 3?"

Fang Xing's eyes lit up.

"Naturally, if it weren't a Rank 3 spirit item, how could it be effective for a quasi-Rank 3 body cultivator?" Immortal Zi Yuan felt relieved, the black energy on her face beginning to spread again, so she hurriedly swallowed a few pills and practiced her cultivation to heal.

"Take out the Rank 3 spirit contract; you guarantee not to leak today's events, and besides that, you must tell me the news of that spirit item in detail."

Fang Xing spoke.

"Can do."

Immortal Zi Yuan took out a spirit contract; this spirit contract emitted strong magic power fluctuations, the whole paper constantly covered by a layer of light, very different from a Rank 2 spirit contract.

She used her finger as a pen and blood as ink, listing the conditions she had just mentioned one by one.

Then, she handed the Rank 3 spirit contract and the twenty-seven high-grade spirit stones to Fang Xing.

Fang Xing took them, saw the words on the spirit contract, and couldn't help but nod.

'So these are high-grade spirit stones?'

He swept a glance at the high-grade spirit stones in his hand.

This type of high-grade spirit stone was still only the size of a die, but the whole body was crystalline, containing extremely pure spiritual energy inside.

If they were all buried in one place, after a long time, they might even form a small spirit vein.

'A high-grade spirit stone is worth one hundred mid-grade spirit stones, equivalent to ten thousand low-grade spirit stones... and in the cultivation world, no one would really exchange them like that; at the very least, it would be a ten or twenty percent markup...'

'This Immortal Zi Yuan is truly wealthy, paying twenty-seven thousand low-grade spirit stones just like that... but as life-buying money, it's worth it!'

According to the spirit contract, this was already most of Immortal Zi Yuan's net worth.

Unless Fang Xing also wanted the other party's magic treasure.

Once he asked for that, Immortal Zi Yuan would inevitably resist to the death, and might even destroy the storage bag before dying, leaving Fang Xing with nothing.

Rogue cultivators in the cultivation world had long since grasped the measure of this.

"Alright, what is that Rank 3 spirit item?"

Fang Xing asked.

"It is a 'Jin Gang Fruit'; this concubine just returned from North Departure Xiancheng and saw it at a fellow Daoist's place... If it weren't for the fact that this concubine is a magic cultivator and has no interest in body-refining spirit items, I would have taken it no matter what..."

Immortal Zi Yuan smiled bitterly and told Fang Xing the detailed information about the Jin Gang Fruit.

'It's actually a Jin Gang Fruit!'

'This item is indeed a supreme treasure for body-refining cultivators, and is even better at breaking through certain barriers...'

Fang Xing remained calm on the surface, but was overjoyed in his heart: 'Sure enough... I should go to a large immortal city. I got news of a Jin Gang Fruit before even arriving. Is it true that a family that accumulates goodness will have surplus blessings? Is this the reward for doing good deeds?'

Thinking of this, he cupped his hands toward Immortal Zi Yuan: "The mountains are high and the road is long, I won't see you off, Fellow Daoist." "Farewell."

Immortal Zi Yuan let out a long sigh of relief in her heart, knowing that this quasi-Rank 3 body cultivator finally had no intention of silencing her, and immediately transformed into a purple light, flying away in an instant.

At this time, the cultivation clone in silver robes flew over, holding several storage bags, clearly having just finished cleaning up the battlefield.

"Let's go too... no, before leaving, dismantle this array... this is much more valuable than any Thick Earth Array."

Fang Xing nodded.

A moment later, the cultivation clone steered the Wind-Snow Sword, and he sat on the Wind-Snow Sword, which had turned a zhang long, and began to count the spoils.

To be honest, the Wind-Snow Sword's blade was very cold and hard, and it wasn't very comfortable to sit on.

But Fang Xing didn't care at all, and the cultivation clone even considerately opened a true essence shield to isolate the oncoming strong wind.

"These storage bags are from those Qi Condensation cultivators, not many good things..."

"But those three Foundation Establishment cultivators also raised spirit pets... as a result, once the master died, they died directly from the backlash of the restrictions, so they can only be sold for some materials..."

"In the hands of the Qi Condensation cultivators, there were a total of five storage bags, nineteen high-grade magic tools, some miscellaneous items like Mysterious Water Turtle eggs, and seventy-eight thousand spirit stones... some Qi Condensation cultivators actually didn't have storage bags; are they not sect disciples? Are they that poor?"

"The three Foundation Establishment cultivators contributed twelve thousand spirit stones... seven spirit tools, including a white jade shield that can be used directly..."

"And these standard magic robes... all embroidered with the Wan Shouzong Sect mark; I feel like I can only sell them all, otherwise it will be easy to attract trouble."

After organizing the miscellaneous items, Fang Xing calmed his mood and began to crack the False Jin Dan Immortal's storage bag with anticipation.

At the same time, he also picked up the black long saber magic treasure to appreciate it.

He saw that this magic treasure-level black saber was six feet long, the blade slender, and there was a ghost-head-like decoration on the hilt.

It was quite heavy in his hand, probably several hundred catties.

"It is indeed a magic treasure forged from Rank 3 materials, the materials are solid..."

Fang Xing grabbed the hilt and swung it a few times, feeling unexpectedly handy.

"But this Wan Shouzong Sect False Jin Dan is one thing, but Immortal Zi Yuan's purple bead also seems to be a magic treasure... Could it be that every False Jin Dan Immortal is equipped with a magic treasure?"

This was actually Fang Xing overthinking.

Many False Jin Dan cultivators only used quasi-magic treasures or even top-grade spirit tools to keep up appearances!

Elder Zong could have a black saber magic treasure because he was an elder of a Jin Dan sect!

Immortal Zi Yuan could have a Purple Hair Orb because she owned the Zi Yuan Xiancheng and was a little rich woman!

If it were other rogue False Jin Dan cultivators, they might not have magic treasures to rely on.

And False Jin Dan cultivators who possessed magic treasures belonged to the top tier among all False Jin Dan in terms of combat power!

"That Wan Shouzong Sect False Jin Dan, the most valuable thing on him might be this ghost-head saber... unfortunately, if I want to use it in the future, I must kill to silence, otherwise it will be easy for the Wan Shouzong Sect to come to the door for revenge..."

After all, the characteristics of this ghost-head saber were too obvious.

But Fang Xing thought about it, once his main body made a move, he would have to silence them anyway, so he could use it casually.

Not to mention... he could also bring it to the main universe!

I wonder what the effect would be if I used this low-grade magic treasure to hack at a servant-level thrall...

'Magic treasures are quite idealistic things... I wonder if they will be rejected by the secret realm's laws?'

'Eh? I seem to have discovered a blind spot?'

Fang Xing touched his chin: "I feel that if cultivators go into a secret realm, they might be like a fish in water... after all, those life-bound magic tools, magic treasures... will definitely be regarded as part of the cultivator and can be brought into the secret realm at will!"

Half an hour later.

The spiritual imprint on the Wan Shouzong Sect False Jin Dan Immortal's storage bag was finally worn away.

Fang Xing probed his divine sense in impatiently, only to be greatly disappointed.

"Only five high-grade spirit stones? Poor ghost!"

"No other magic treasures... Poor ghost!"

He took out some bottles and jars, which seemed to be spirit pet feed, and was speechless.

Besides that, there were only a few bottles of pills, some jade slips, and other miscellaneous items.

"They all seem to be ordinary healing-type pills, and some Inedia Pills..."

As a barely Rank 1 High-Grade alchemist, Fang Xing could now identify the types of pills.

After looking at a few bottles, he opened another jade bottle and his expression changed.

He saw that inside the jade bottle, there was only one scarlet pill, emitting a rich bloody smell.

"This pill... is somewhat unusual, the grade is very high..."

"It's related to bloodline, the medicinal properties are very strong... it doesn't seem to be for ordinary cultivators to eat."

Fang Xing put this bottle of pills aside, identified the other pills one by one, and then began to watch the jade slips.

To his disappointment, there were no cultivation techniques.

Most of them were just ordinary customs and practices, only one "Great Desolate Demon Beast Illustrated Guide," which listed many Great Desolate demon beasts, with pictures and text, which was still of some value.

Turning to the last jade slip, Fang Xing's eyes lit up: "Spirit-Attachment Technique? A secret technique with power comparable to a divine ability?"

"It actually requires a Rank 2 spirit pet with a dense flood dragon bloodline... or a dragon-type spirit pet with ordinary bloodline, combined with a Fake Dragon-Transformation Pill! This seems to be the pill from just now..."

"This is a secret method for beast tamers, it's useless to me; I follow the sword path, which emphasizes purity..." ===== CHAPTER 146 =====
