149. Chapter 149: Heaven Sword Sect (Seeking Subscriptions)

Xue Zhishi was not young, with a full head of white hair and an old face.

When Fang Xing saw this person, he was fishing in a pond, holding a purple jade fishing rod in his hand, which looked like it was made by a famous master, and even the fishing line used spirit silkworm silk, looking very luxurious.

'So addicted to fishing, it seems his path is hopeless...'

Fang Xing complained in his heart, but a solemn look appeared on his face: "Greetings Xue Zhishi..."

He had already sensed with his divine sense that this Xue Zhishi was actually a False Jin Dan Immortal!

At this time, the Qi Condensation disciple had already stepped forward and reported his desire to enter the sect.

"You are called Fang Xing?"

Xue Zhishi stared at the pond, but a powerful divine sense force lingered around Fang Xing: "Where are you from? Do you have any special skills?"

"I am from the Zheng State. When I was in Qi Condensation, I studied alchemy and refined Rank 1 High-Grade pills... Now that I have established my foundation, I also have some confidence in refining Rank 2 low-grade pills..."

Fang Xing prepared to reveal his means as a quasi-Rank 2 alchemist.

With this kind of skill and cultivation, he would be treated favorably wherever he went.

"Can refine Rank 2 low-grade pills? Even if the success rate is not high, with the help of divine sense, you can always improve slowly, not bad, not bad..."

Xue Zhishi nodded: "Our Outer Hall disciples only have one task, and that is to serve the inner disciples well... You can refine pills, which is very good, but the process still has to be gone through."

He lifted the fishing rod, and a golden carp was fished out of the pond.

"Oh? It's actually a small golden scale; good luck today, I can have fish soup tonight..."

Xue Zhishi put the golden carp into the bamboo basket, and a talisman appeared in his hand: "This is a Rank 2 High-Grade Questioning Heart Talisman; with your cultivation, you absolutely cannot resist..."

He waved his hand, and False Jin Dan magic power surged out, stimulating the Questioning Heart Talisman, and a brilliance fell on Fang Xing.

"What you just said, is there any falsehood?"

Elder Xue asked solemnly.

"There is no falsehood!"

Fang Xing felt a kind of magic power, which was forcing himself to speak the truth.

Once it contained falsehood, it would trigger some bad reaction.

However, he was originally upright, so he answered loudly.

"Have you ever cultivated demonic arts? Or are you a spy for other forces?"

Elder Xue asked again.

"No..."

"Good!"

After a round of questioning, Elder Xue nodded: "Fang Xing, right? You are now an Outer Hall disciple of my Heaven Sword Sect... Follow Xiao Yu to go through the process; your cave dwelling and identity token will naturally be arranged in a few days."

"So... simple?"

Fang Xing was somewhat incredulous.

Elder Xue showed a playful look on his face: "Our Outer Hall disciples originally couldn't compare with inner disciples... Since you've come to the Outer Hall, as long as you practice with peace of mind, there will still be opportunities to join the inner sect in the future, and even if you stay in the outer sect, as long as you accumulate merit, it's not impossible to redeem Rank 2 spirit items and breakthrough pills... If you make a great contribution, you will be bestowed a Rank 3 demon pill, and in the future, you will be a False Jin Dan Immortal... If you kid has heaven-defying luck again and can condense a true Jin Dan, then you will be an Outer Hall Elder, and no matter which force in the Qi State it is, they will have to give you some face..."

But clearly, this was the limit for Outer Hall disciples.

Fang Xing bowed and followed the Qi Condensation disciple named Xiao Yu away.

"Congratulations Senior Uncle!"

Xiao Yu had a smile on his face, immediately becoming a bit closer.

"Hmm, you are not bad."

Fang Xing laughed and stuffed a mid-grade spirit stone over.

Seeing the mid-grade spirit stone, Xiao Yu's breathing suddenly quickened; he welcomed and sent off people, and received some gifts.

But the one who was so generous was only this Senior Uncle.

"This matter of entering the sect, what is worth paying attention to? How can I choose a good cave dwelling?"

Fang Xing asked the question he most wanted to know.

"Entering the sect, since you passed Xue Zhishi's level, naturally there are no obstacles... As for cave dwelling allocation, you can go to Huang Zhishi; he is relatively strapped for cash..."

Xiao Yu immediately said some tricks.

These little tricks, if one hadn't been mixing in the Outer Hall for a long time, would simply not be noticed, and could save a lot of detours.

"I joined the Heaven Sword Sect just for a good cultivation technique... Is there really no way forward for us Outer Hall disciples?"

Fang Xing said at the end, somewhat regretfully.

"If it's a cultivation technique, you can go to the Scripture Pavilion to borrow it after the token comes down... But the way forward? It has always been there!"

Xiao Yu pointed to the direction of the sword fighting platform: "Our Heaven Sword Sect respects the sword. If you want to become an inner disciple, you can only reveal enough sword path talent... Besides that, no matter how many merits you make or how high your contribution is, the sect only bestows Rank 3 demon pills or Jin Dan spirit items... But this is already very good, I'm satisfied if I can establish my foundation in this life."

"Sword fighting platform..."

Fang Xing sighed.

"Senior Uncle is already at the Foundation Establishment cultivation level. If you go to the sword fighting platform, you will inevitably encounter inner sect Foundation Establishment sword cultivators... maybe even those who have refined the sword into Gang."

Xiao Yu shook his head, knowing that this path wouldn't work.

"It's a pity, I'm not good at fighting..."

Fang Xing looked very regretful.

"Actually, if you want to join the inner sect, besides sword fighting, there is another way."

Xiao Yu suddenly smiled.

"Oh? What way?" Fang Xing showed an interested look.

Xiao Yu pointed to Group Jianfeng: "There is a peak in the sect, named 'Sword Heart', rumored to be left by the ancestor... The sect has an order: Qi Condensation disciples who climb the Sword Heart Peak and can go a hundred steps are directly accepted as inner disciples, and two hundred steps are ranked as true transmission..."

"Foundation Establishment disciples, two hundred steps to join the inner sect, four hundred steps to be true transmission..."

"Those above Jin Dan are not allowed to enter."

"Oh? What if you can reach the top?" Fang Xing became interested.

"Sword Heart Peak is connected to the sect's grand array, forbidding cultivators above Jin Dan from entering, and it has a total of one thousand steps... even the sect's Supreme Elder, at the perfection of Foundation Establishment, only climbed eight hundred and seventy-two steps..."

Xiao Yu smiled and didn't speak.

Fang Xing also smiled: "I was reckless..."

In the temporary cave dwelling.

Fang Xing sat cross-legged, with Thick Earth Array array flags arranged all around.

At this time, he slightly waved the silver token in his hand, and a layer of earth-yellow light screen appeared, like a giant bowl, covering the entire cave dwelling.

After doing all this, he put on a single-lens glasses full of sci-fi feeling and saw the nearest monitoring.

"Finally... disappeared?"

Since settling in North Departure Xiancheng, Fang Xing naturally didn't forget his own fine tradition and arranged mechanism puppets around the cave dwelling.

Then... immediately found something wrong!

Someone was actually monitoring him in the dark!

This was also one of the reasons why he finally chose to leave North Departure Xiancheng and join the Heaven Sword Sect.

'My relationships in North Departure Xiancheng are very simple... I haven't even started to show off my wealth frequently to attract robbery cultivators...'

'The only cultivator monitoring me at this time, besides that Heavenly Universe Immortal, is no one else...'

'The key is why he did this? Could it be that he has an unusual importance to the 'Senior Fang Yun' behind me?'

If it weren't for Wei Shentong's pressure now, Fang Xing would quite like to play with the other party.

But now it's better to focus on improving himself, so joining the Heaven Sword Sect will make the other party give up the idea.

"Heavenly Universe Immortal... I've noted this down."

Fang Xing sneered.

Although his main body has achieved divine ability and can be considered Rank 3 body-refining even in the cultivation world, North Departure Xiancheng is not Zi Yuan Mountain City after all!

If he faced a Jin Dan cultivator head-on, Fang Xing wouldn't be too afraid, but North Departure Xiancheng might have more than one Jin Dan cultivator, and there were four False Jin Dan, not to mention arrays and large-scale war magic tools...

It is very stupid to go against the City Lord's line in North Departure Xiancheng.

Plus he needs sword cultivation methods, so he simply found an opportunity to leave the city and join the Heaven Sword Sect directly.

With a Yuan Ying sect protecting him, he thought it would be enough to scare off that Heavenly Universe Immortal.

And when the other party goes out or is alone, he can thank nature for the gift again...

For the next few days, Fang Xing had been handling the 'onboarding procedures', and with Xiao Yu's pointers, everything went very smoothly.

Especially using spirit stones to bribe that Huang Zhishi, the cave dwelling he obtained was not only quiet and elegant, but also had quasi-Rank 3 spiritual energy, which was quite good.

And through some interactions, Fang Xing was surprised to find that the Heaven Sword Sect really didn't value this Outer Hall.

It almost regarded the entire Outer Hall as a provider of various resources, and the main power was concentrated in the hands of several Outer Hall Elders with Jin Dan cultivation.

As for the inner disciples, they were all focused on practicing the sword.

It felt like: do whatever you want, as long as you provide resources, and if you dare to rebel in the future, I will suppress you with one sword...

'In a world of individual transcendence, it's unexpectedly reasonable...'

'Of course, no matter how rotten the Outer Hall is, it has several Jin Dan Elders and many False Jin Dan Deacons... and with many people, destroying a few Jin Dan sects is no problem at all.'

This day.

Fang Xing wore the Outer Hall's cloud sword pattern magic robe, with a white jade pendant hanging at his waist, and arrived somewhere at Group Jianfeng.

Amidst the clouds and mist, a huge scripture library appeared in front of him.

"Is this the Heaven Sword Sect's Scripture Pavilion?"

He sighed and walked into the Scripture Pavilion.

The Scripture Pavilion naturally had an array to guard it, but he had an Outer Hall disciple token, so entering and exiting was no problem.

The Scripture Pavilion was very large, divided into seven floors, and disciples came in and out from time to time.

Fang Xing came to the entrance and saw a white-haired sword cultivator sitting cross-legged behind a low table, holding a bamboo book and reading.

The reason he confirmed that the other party was a sword cultivator was because this person's aura was extremely sharp, and there was an ancient sword in its scabbard by his hand!

"Greetings Elder..."

Fang Xing only felt the sharp aura rushing toward his face, stepped forward and bowed.

A flash of light, and his disciple jade token automatically flew out, falling into the white-haired sword cultivator's hand: "Outer Hall Foundation Establishment disciple, first time coming to the Scripture Pavilion, can freely select one cultivation technique that reaches Jin Dan, plus three spells, miscellaneous books... Note, you can only select from the first three floors."

The white-haired sword cultivator Elder said lightly.

"Thank you for the guidance."

Fang Xing walked into the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion, swept his divine sense, and saw a large number of books.

Beast skin books, paper books, bamboo slips, jade page golden books...

It seemed that all the classics in the world could be found here. ===== CHAPTER 150 =====
