Chapter 509: Longevity Pill Assembly

After Feng Yangzi's divided spirit took leave of Qian Chen, it turned into a wisp of smoke and headed straight for the base of the Hundred Boat Sea Society.

That wisp of smoke bypassed the various restrictions on the island, followed a jade staircase, and entered before a palace in the deepest part of the island's restrictions. Once there, the divided spirit became invisible, blew through the window, came before an old man exuding an aura of decay, and merged into his fontanelle!

This old man looked exactly like Feng Yangzi; it was clearly his true self.

But now his physical body was as thin as a stick, without a bit of lean meat. In the dim palace, his eyelids drooped even more, as if he were drowsy.

He wore a tattered Daoist robe that had been washed until it was somewhat white, covered by a cloak. Although the spiritual light was not apparent, it was woven from the feathers of various spiritual birds, carrying a trace of the aura of an ancient primordial fierce bird.

And in front of the old man was a somewhat rusted Boshan furnace. The fragrance drifted out from the bronze mountain-shaped hollows, along the patterns of clouds, immortals, and rare beasts, but it couldn't suppress the aura of decay on the old man.

The old man suddenly opened his eyes and instructed a Nascent Soul cultivator beside him: "Go get my disciplinary whip and give Fan Cunlu of the Fan family three hundred lashes!"

The Nascent Soul cultivator was startled: "Zangshan Laozu, three hundred lashes will beat the man to death! The Fan family just found the Nine-Feather Phoenix Eye Grass for you, Zangshan Laozu, and several Core Formation Elders died for it... If this happens, I fear there will be complaints from below!"

"What! Are you not even listening to my words now?"

Feng Yangzi revealed a cold smile, and after a while, said: "Divide it into ten days, just don't let him die!"

Another Nascent Soul cultivator under the old man took the opportunity to probe: "Zangshan Laozu, that Daoist Qian leaked your major affairs and still dares to stay under our noses. Should I find a day to secretly press him to death?"

He had a wealthy appearance, a big head, a fat body, and a big face, but his nose and eyes were very delicate.

Born on his face, it was like two mung beans and sesame seeds spread on a pancake. Now, with fierce light in his eyes, he looked even more sinister.

Feng Yangzi glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice: "Do not provoke that Daoist Qian... Fourth, I know you have always been jealous of those who are younger and more promising than you. In recent years, you have secretly harmed several up-and-coming talents of the family. I have seen it all!"

"If it weren't for the fact that it was your demonic thoughts that did it, and I had set the rules early on not to interfere with others passing their demonic tribulations, I would have had you face family law long ago!"

"Your aptitude is mediocre, yet you have a brother who is a genius. Choosing to enter the demonic path through jealousy, I certainly understand. But after your brother suffered his tribulation, you defiled his wife and daughter, a villain getting his way. There were already people in the clan dissatisfied with your actions! I saw that your obsession was deep and you could use this to cut off your demonic thoughts and advance to Nascent Soul, that's why I protected you!"

"Now your demonic thoughts are gradually deepening, on the eve of cutting off the demons. Others don't think highly of you, but I think you still have a ruthless streak in your bones and might achieve something!"

"But this doesn't mean I will indulge your demonic thoughts and ruin my major affairs!"

"Fourth! If you dare to touch Daoist Qian, my Eighteen Heaven-Turning Infant Corpse Transformation just happens to be one short of maturity!"

The fat Daoist trembled all over and lowered his head: "Sun Er dares not!"

"Moreover, you may not be able to provoke him..."

Feng Yangzi sighed: "Core Formation First Rank! Such a person, do you really believe he is a lone wanderer? When could a lone wanderer forge the foundation of a Core Formation First Rank? This kind of person is a seed of the Nascent Soul. I don't even dare to provoke him rashly. If it weren't for the fact that he concerns my major affair of extending my life... I should have kept a respectful distance!"

"You idiots, on the contrary, want to provoke him."

"This kind of Nascent Soul seed has the heaviest killing tribulation. Who knows, one day, he might use me to sacrifice his path!"

Feng Yangzi smiled coldly, scanning the few people in the hall. That tiger-dead-bone-standing prestige made everyone feel cold in their bones.

"Of course, an old dog also has a few teeth. When the time comes, I will send you few to face the tribulation first, perhaps it can alleviate some of the killing tribulation! Then I will tear into him... and see if his path is vast or my character is ruthless. Hehe!"

Feng Yangzi put away his smile and instructed: "I want to ask Daoist Qian to refine the Reincarnation Pill for me. You must do your best to satisfy all his previous requests! Don't play any clever little tricks."

A Nascent Soul cultivator said unwillingly: "Zangshan Laozu, no matter how you put it, he is only a Core Formation cultivator."

"Since he is the alchemist chosen by the Zangshan Laozu, why not keep him in hand? His previous actions don't look like those of a settled person. If you let him do as he pleases, I fear he will have some ideas he shouldn't have!"

"Keep him in hand!" Feng Yangzi mocked and laughed: "Also, you all want to keep everything in hand, killing and seizing, how happy! Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish! If it's not to my liking, you can kill to establish prestige..."

"Idiots! If I wanted to keep everyone in hand, how could I have such a large family business? I would have been lightly pinched to death by others long ago! Do you think Nascent Soul cultivators are very remarkable?"

"Nascent Soul old monster..."

Feng Yangzi stood up tremblingly from his chair, leaning on his cane and laughing strangely: "Remarkable! How majestic!"

"When the Shaoqing Sword Sect cleaned up overseas in the past, they killed Nascent Souls like dogs. A Core Formation cultivator dared to step on the door of a family like yours, with a flying sword hanging over his head, only asking one sentence: 'Do you submit!' Majestic figures like you were all sacrificed to the sword!"

"I know you are very dissatisfied with the Three Mountains Talismans of the Central Lands flowing like water, seizing our overseas Daoist external objects, wealth, and resources, but what can you do if you are dissatisfied?"

"Go and see, how many corpses were sacrificed to the sword by Shaoqing?"

"When Sun En of the Zhang Tian Shi Dao intervened in the East Sea, why didn't I see you go and block those two killing stars, Xu Daofu and Lu Xun, and frustrate their prestige? I was afraid that Sun En's Zhang Tian Shi Sword would be across my neck! What are you afraid of? Do you know how many Supreme Elders died among those immortal sects that took the lead and secretly plotted against Xu Daofu and Lu Xun?"

"What kind of foundation do the Daoist sects have, what kind of overbearing style, they don't dare to easily manipulate a First Rank Golden Core. When they see a Core Formation First Rank cultivator, they still have to respectfully call him Fellow Daoist! What status do you have to look down on this person?"

"In less than two hundred years, your cultivation will only be fit to carry his shoes. Now, even if you rely on the secret technique of 'Cutting Demons to See Myself', you may not be his opponent!"

Feng Yangzi's words scolded the few juniors like dogs, and they could only bow and listen honestly.

He took a breath and continued: "Go and lower your heads to the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect, admit your mistakes, and say that I want to borrow their sect's fire vein to invite a master alchemist from the Central Lands to refine a spiritual pill for longevity."

"At the same time, in my name, send invitations to the major immortal sects, chambers of commerce, and cultivation families, inviting them to participate in my Longevity Pill Assembly. You also go and help, and carefully organize a Pill Assembly. Since it can no longer be hidden, then show it openly. I, Feng Yangzi, can still hold the line!"

A strange light flickered in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Although there are many people who want me to die, there are even more who don't care about these things."

"Letting those little bugs collude in the dark may not be a good thing. When most people float to the surface, those hiding in the dark will become the minority again."

Many of the undercurrents these days are, in the final analysis, conflicts of interest. He can't manage those old monsters whose lifespans are coming to an end and whose eyes are red with madness, but many people who want him to die are just because some interests conflict with him. As long as he sorts them out slowly, there are some places he cannot retreat from—if he retreats, he will die even more miserably—but in other places, there may not be room for relaxation!

He secretly pondered how to write this article on human feelings and sophistication!

In the following days, a mighty fleet of ships stopped outside Qian Chen's new cave—Linghua Island. Qian Chen only had time to make a trip, flicked his large sleeves, and took the hundreds of ships of supplies into his sleeves.

As for those merman maids, maids, and warriors, he just let them stay on Linghua Island and didn't regard them as his private property.

Linghua Island was indeed a hundred times wider than the cave Qian Chen currently lived in, and it had a spiritual vein, full of spiritual energy, with two thousand acres of spiritual fields. The annual output alone was worth a lot, not inferior to a manor near Jiankang City.

But this island was for the 'Central Lands Alchemy Master.' Qian Chen was currently still a 'small and famous Central Lands lone wanderer' and didn't want to be too conspicuous.

"The time spent refining the Reincarnation Pill is a few months at the shortest, and a year or a half at the longest. That's because I'm familiar with the work; otherwise, four or five times that would be normal."

"When the time comes, I'll let the Gold and Silver Children worry about watching the fire, and I'll go and cultivate bitterly."

Qian Chen planned like this, without a bit of guilt in his heart. He had raised the Gold and Silver Children so big, wasn't it just to do this work?

By then, those hiding in the dark, those revealed in the light, the various demons, ghosts, and monsters involved in the Hundred Boat Sea Society and Feng Yangzi's Soul Transformation opportunity, should all have emerged.

Qian Chen carefully sorted out the many threads of the tribulation he had stirred up. When the time came, if there was fate, he would trigger the involvement of the tribulation and let them crash into it head-on.

With so many people facing the tribulation, even if there were five or six Innate Spiritual Roots, and that spiritual material carrying the water virtue, they should all be available!

Qian Chen called this method the Tribulation Refining Method.

It is as the saying goes: no guns, no cannons, the enemy builds them for us!

Whenever there is a stagnation in cultivation, whether it is insufficient character, lack of tempering, temporary loss of the cultivation path, insufficient supply of external objects, or even wealth, law, land, and companions—if something is missing, it must be that there are not enough enemies, it must be that the tribulation is insufficient!

As long as you set up a killing tribulation and lure many enemies to your door, and you don't die in the tribulation yourself, you will certainly get what you want.

"Since ancient times, talents love arrogance, only to die under the Asura sword! The blood of the Yuan Tu immortal has not been wiped, don't be flustered when going to the Underworld!"

Qian Chen chanted a nameless little poem he had heard in his previous life, wiped his life-bound flying sword slightly, and then hid the sword qi full of killing intent into his body, deeply locked away!

"My death tribulation of Core Formation seems to be on Penglai. But I have been overseas for so long without noticing any traces of them, which shows they are hidden very deeply! I hope that stirring up this muddy water this time will startle one or two of their dark pieces out."

"As for those monsters and ghosts, I only regret there are too few; I never think there are too many!" ===== CHAPTER 510 =====
