148. Chapter 148: Dragon-Elephant Vajra Indestructible Divine Ability (Seeking Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month)

North Departure Xiancheng.

Rank 2 cave dwelling.

Fang Xing's cultivation clone sat cross-legged, silently operating the Gold-Transforming Art cultivation technique, digesting the medicinal properties of a supreme pill in his body.

This pill was named 'Gold-Pointing Pill', purchased from the pill pavilion of North Departure Xiancheng, and was one of the most suitable pills for early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators with gold spiritual roots to improve their cultivation.

What's more critical is that after being nurtured in the Ten Thousand Transformations Cauldron, the pill poison had been reduced to almost nothing.

If it were released, the value could skyrocket tenfold!

With the help of the Gold-Pointing Pill, Fang Xing felt that the magic power in his dantian was growing at a terrifying speed.

In the cave dwelling, spiritual energy gathered, vaguely forming a vortex.

Half an hour passed unconsciously.

Then, in his body, at the center of the magic power vortex, another round 'golden bead' appeared.

This liquid magic power was round and lustrous, like a pale golden relic, carrying a sense of semi-solidification, quickly merging into the other liquid magic power.

"The magic power limit has increased again; now it's thirteen drops of liquid magic power..."

Fang Xing opened his eyes, calculating secretly in his heart.

"According to the 'Gold-Transforming Art', as long as the liquid magic power reaches twenty drops, it counts as reaching the peak of early-stage Foundation Establishment, and one can attempt to break through to mid-stage Foundation Establishment..."

"At this speed, within two years, I can reach the peak of early-stage Foundation Establishment... As for any bottleneck? I have heavenly spiritual roots, so there is no bottleneck at all... Therefore, is it equivalent to breaking through to the mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm?"

"And the liquid magic power at the peak of mid-stage Foundation Establishment should be around forty or fifty drops."

"Late-stage Foundation Establishment, around eighty to one hundred."

"Foundation Establishment perfection, depending on the cultivator's physique, is between one hundred and ten to one hundred and twenty drops..."

"At this cultivation speed, I can reach Foundation Establishment perfection after thirty or forty years of hard cultivation... and then in another sixty years, around sixty years old, I can attempt to form a Jin Dan..."

A sixty-year-old Jin Dan cultivator!

In the cultivation world, this can be considered an absolute genius.

But for Fang Xing, it was a bit slow.

He has cultivated for less than ten years, and his main body already has combat power comparable to a Jin Dan cultivator.

In a few more years, he will definitely be able to condense a Martial Dao Jin Dan.

"Sure enough, although cultivation is comprehensive, it is too slow... Martial Dao advances step by step, and when it advances courageously, the speed is frighteningly fast, but it's hard to say when one step will be wrong, leading to being smashed to pieces..."

"According to my conception, to create the Immortal-Martial Dao, cultivation progress cannot be pulled too far behind by Martial Dao..."

Fang Xing pondered silently: "If I want to speed up my cultivation, first I can change to a top-tier sword cultivation technique!"

Although the Gold-Transforming Art is a Jin Dan cultivation technique, it is quite ordinary in all aspects, and the speed of cultivating magic power is not fast.

Some top-tier cultivation techniques have an unimaginably fast speed of refining magic power.

"Second, is to pursue a cave dwelling with more abundant spiritual energy, such as a Rank 3 spirit vein... which can greatly reduce the time for absorbing spiritual energy."

"Third, is higher-grade pills... as long as I'm not afraid of waste, using the power of pills to crazily increase cultivation, the speed will also be quite astonishing."

Fang Xing pondered for a while and walked out of the cave dwelling.

He was in silver robes and had Foundation Establishment cultivation, which was considered middle-tier in North Departure Xiancheng.

Mixing into the crowd, he didn't look very conspicuous.

After walking through several streets, he arrived in front of a pavilion.

"Eight Winds Tower?"

Fang Xing looked up at the plaque and nodded secretly in his heart.

This Eight Winds Tower was an intelligence organization, said to have branches all over the nearby countries, and even in chaotic places like the Five Sects and Ten Countries, mainly dealing in various intelligence trading.

When he arrived at this building, he had naturally changed his appearance, and even the nano-ancient costume on his body automatically changed color.

"This guest, please come in!"

The receptionist was a Qi Condensation cultivator, and after feeling the Foundation Establishment pressure on Fang Xing, he immediately knew that a big business was coming, but he remained calm and invited Fang Xing into a private room.

After the door closed, a layer of restriction appeared, isolating the inside and outside.

Fang Xing looked at the exquisite tea and snacks on the table, nodded slightly, but didn't move.

A moment later, a woman with a charming smile walked in and bowed: "This concubine is Wen Rou, greetings Senior. I don't know what kind of news Senior is preparing to buy?"

"Heaven Sword Sect's!"

Fang Xing said coldly, causing Wen Rou's expression to change slightly.

"Why? You don't do Heaven Sword Sect business?"

"Guest, you are joking. As long as it is news, my Eight Winds Tower has trades... I don't know if the guest wants information about a certain person in the Heaven Sword Sect, or overall information? These intelligence reports have different prices according to their classification..."

Wen Rou restored her charming expression and handed over a jade slip.

Fang Xing swept his divine sense and said expressionlessly: "Give me a copy of the overall information, Grade A..."

Hearing this, Wen Rou felt relieved.

Fang Xing's move didn't look like he was coming for revenge, but rather like a stranger force observing the king in the territory.

Simply put... no trouble! It wouldn't involve the Eight Winds Tower, which was the type of guest they liked the most.

"Guest, please wait." She bowed and exited the room, and before long, she walked in holding a tray.

On the tray, there were several blue jade slips: "The general information about the Heaven Sword Sect is all here... If the guest still needs detailed information about a specific person, then you need to add spirit stones..."

Fang Xing nodded, swept his hand, and a pile of spirit stones appeared on the table.

Seeing this scene, Wen Rou immediately beamed with joy, and formed seals with both hands, injecting a magic seal into the blue jade slip: "Please check, guest..."

This was the unique restriction of the Eight Winds Tower; once a guest tried to rob it without paying, they would end up with nothing, and might even get fake intelligence.

Fang Xing picked up a jade slip, probed his divine sense into it, and saw dense text and pictures.

"Heaven Sword Sect, located at 'Group Jianfeng' in Qi State, the sect gate is a Rank 4 spirit vein..."

"The sect has a long history, which can be traced back to the opening of the desolate lands... It is suspected to be a branch of a sword cultivation sect in the outer regions, the founding ancestor called himself 'Free Old Man', suspected to be in the mid-to-late Yuan Ying stage, and has long since passed away..."

"It is a sword cultivation sect, fond of sword fighting, sharpening the sword edge with the blood of enemies... breaking through in the line of life and death, the disciple loss rate is very high, and the entire sect adds up to less than two thousand people..."

"But surrounding these two thousand real sect disciples, there are tens of thousands of cultivators serving them, providing support in the hundred arts of cultivation such as pills, arrays, talismans, tools, wine, and tea..."

"Outside the tens of thousands of cultivators, there are even more mortals... at the foot of Group Jianfeng, a 'Heaven Sword City' was built!"

"Currently, the Heaven Sword Sect Master is 'Master Duanjian Immortal' Kong Fengge, a Jin Dan cultivator, with late-stage Jin Dan cultivation... Supreme Elder 'Heaven Sword True Monarch' Chu Kuangtu, just passed his six hundredth birthday..."

"The Heaven Sword Sect has many affiliated sects and family forces, with thirteen False Jin Dan or higher..."

Fang Xing remained calm and picked up the second blue jade slip.

The first jade slip was a general introduction to the Heaven Sword Sect as a whole, but this one was refined down to the individual.

For example, he knew that Master Duanjian Immortal was also a true transmission sword son, but later suffered a crushing defeat in a sword fight with the demonic path, and his sword heart was covered in dust...

And that 'Heaven Sword True Monarch' was a genius, with heavenly spiritual roots, and 'born with a sword bone', his talent in the sword path was astonishing, building his foundation at twenty, advancing to Jin Dan at one hundred, and proving his Jin Dan, his subsequent cultivation was even smoother, condensing his Yuan Ying at three hundred, known as a True Monarch!

By now, his cultivation was unfathomable, vaguely the number one person in the righteous path countries.

"Only six hundred years old, and never suffered any serious injuries..."

Due to his own spiritual root aptitude, Fang Xing had always been very cautious regarding Nascent Soul Zhenjuns of this type.

"Possession cannot extend one's lifespan; it is merely a helpless choice when the body is severely damaged... A Nascent Soul has a lifespan of a thousand years. This Nascent Soul Zhenjun still has four or five hundred years left to live, and since he hasn't suffered any serious injuries, if I join the Profound Heaven Sect, he shouldn't make things difficult for me..."

"What's more, I intend to join the sect as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so my aptitude won't be tested..."

"It's just that I might not be able to enter the core, but as long as I have a better cultivation technique, or even cultivation on a higher-grade spiritual vein, that will be enough..."

Originally, Fang Xing had intended to find a Jin Dan sect to join.

But in the Qi State, the Profound Heaven Sect was the sole dominant power, and other sects all had intricate connections with it; in reality, there wasn't much difference.

After learning some information about that Profound Heaven Zhenjun, Fang Xing felt the risk was controllable and immediately changed his plan.

Profound Heaven City.

This city was located at the foot of the Jianfeng cluster, and by using the power of an array to draw in a portion of the spiritual vein's energy, it created the effect of a Rank 3 spiritual vein.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the cultivators coming and going were affiliates of the Profound Heaven Sect, it might have become the number one immortal city of the Qi State.

A flash of white light appeared in the sky.

Fang Xing landed gracefully, put away his Wind-Snow Sword, and compared Profound Heaven City with Beili Xiancheng.

"Profound Heaven City actually has no city walls!"

"Truly, they are incredibly confident..."

He walked into the city, and immediately, ear-piercing sounds of sword humming reached his ears.

Those were the sounds coming from the ten great sword-fighting platforms.

Many Qi Condensation cultivators had been honing their swords for years, just thinking of making a name for themselves on the sword-fighting platforms, and subsequently joining the Profound Heaven Sect.

Although the Profound Heaven Sect had fewer disciples, they valued quality over quantity; every single one of them was an elite!

Fang Xing had come here, naturally having already inquired for news at the Eight Winds Pavilion, and arrived in front of a building.

"Profound Heaven Outer Hall..."

"Outside cultivators, if they are not sword cultivators, wishing to join the Profound Heaven Sect, are all arranged in the Outer Hall..."

"Even if they are sword cultivators, they still need to pass the test of the sword-fighting platform... I can feel the naked discrimination sword cultivators have toward other cultivators..."

Fang Xing muttered a complaint and walked into the Profound Heaven Outer Hall.

"This senior..."

A Qi Condensation disciple saw Fang Xing, and there wasn't much arrogance on his face; instead, he was somewhat respectful: "I wonder what brings you to our Profound Heaven Outer Hall?"

"I am Fang Xing, a mere rogue cultivator, who luckily succeeded in Foundation Establishment, and I wish to join the Profound Heaven Sect."

Fang Xing frankly stated his purpose.

"So that's it, I will take you, senior, to find Deacon Xue!"

This Qi Condensation disciple didn't think much of it.

There were countless rogue cultivators wanting to join the Profound Heaven Sect; generally, unless a Qi Condensation cultivator had a special skill, they were all rejected.

Most Foundation Establishment cultivators could pass, after all, being able to succeed in Foundation Establishment meant they had their own merits.

However, compared to the importance placed by those Jin Dan sects, the Profound Heaven Sect didn't care much about Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
