Chapter 25: The Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Pendant
Chapter 25: The Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Pendant
After the Jade Bamboo Pill was completed, Fang Yun slept at home for three days and three nights before regaining his energy.
He spent a long time searching through his family's treasure trove before finally choosing a century-old tree heart as his reward.
This is something Ling Tongzi mentioned before; it can dissolve the crystallized poison in the meridians and restore the vitality of the physical body.
Fang Yun couldn't buy it in Qingmu Immortal City before; the price was too high, and the good stuff had already been snatched up by someone else.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and we succeeded.
A few days later, Fang Yun received another family transfer order.
He was to go to Liuyun Market to take over from his senior brother and manage the Dan Pavilion shop in Ziqing Lake.
Not only him, but also several other promising young immortals with high cultivation levels, such as Lu Guishou, were all sent out to other places.
Instead, many direct descendants of the families returned, making the entire Ziqing Lake area appear relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside.
This is equivalent to entering a state of preparation for war.
"It seems Fang Yaowan is going to attempt Foundation Establishment, sending all of us, the unstable elements, out in advance..."
Fang Yun felt that this arrangement suited his taste perfectly.
If possible, he even wanted to leave temporarily with his wife and children.
Unfortunately, the Fang family absolutely refused.
"I'm forty-five years old this year. I wonder if I'll be able to save up a Foundation Establishment Pill before my sixty-year lifespan ends?"
After packing his luggage and bidding farewell to his two wives, Fang Yun set off to find Lu Guishou.
The latter was appointed as the enforcement team leader of the market, a lucrative position for accumulating spirit stones.
Clearly, the Fang family also intended to compensate them.
The two set off on a warship, only to encounter an unexpected fellow.
Fang Yaode, a Foundation Establishment seed who previously failed to break through, now has a puppet prosthetic arm installed.
Although he failed, he still possessed perfect Qi cultivation, and his magical power was even stronger.
Leaning against the railing, gazing at the lake as he kept drinking, he was filled with a sense of despondency.
Fang Yaode had crossed paths with Fang Yun before. When he saw him, he paused for a moment, then raised his wine jug in a gesture of respect: "Brother, I didn't expect you to be kicked out too. Want to have a drink?"
Fang Yun did not refuse: "Brother Dao, are you also preparing to go to Liuyunfang?"
Fang Yaode grunted and took a swig of wine: "If you're bored, go be the lord of a market town for fun."
Fang Yun was secretly astonished upon hearing this.
Look at this, this is the treatment a direct descendant receives.
Even if they are sent out to other regions, they will become high-ranking officials in charge of all the affairs of the Fang family in Liuyun Market.
Fang Yun introduced Lu Guishou to him, and the three of them drank some wine, which immediately made the atmosphere more familiar.
Fang Yaode seemed to have not confided in anyone for a long time, and as he drank, he suddenly began to pour out his heart.
"The family traitor from back then remains an unsolved case to this day."
"I just failed to break through, and Fang Yaowan couldn't help but jump around and collude with those old geezers."
"I think the Fang family is doomed sooner or later if they fall into his hands!"
Fang Yaode, reeking of alcohol, glared fiercely: "His character is flawed, his heart is impure; he... will also fail!"
Fang Yun let it go in one ear and out the other.
What happened five years ago has already been settled.
Now that his cultivation level is high enough, listening to these complaints won't hurt him.
The sun is high in the sky.
They arrived at Liuyunfang smoothly, bid each other farewell, and took their new posts with tokens in hand.
When Fang Yun saw his second senior brother again, he was quite efficient in his work.
He meticulously explained all the positions and responsibilities within the Dan Pavilion, down to the smallest detail.
Then he dusted himself off and prepared to return to his tribe.
"We pay our respects to the Pavilion Master!"
More than a dozen alchemists readily bowed down, and no troublemaker dared to step forward.
Fang Yun had worked with them for over a decade, and his cultivation and alchemy skills were evident to all.
Furthermore, with the head of the family personally appointing them, they were all obedient.
"Fellow Daoists, please don't stand on ceremony. We're all old acquaintances. Just continue with the usual affairs of the pavilion."
He casually took out a few bottles of high-grade pills as the grand finale of the Pill Pavilion this month.
Fang Yun waved his sleeves and chose to be a hands-off manager.
He directly occupied the best cave in the pavilion, where the spiritual energy concentration was close to the second level, something he had long coveted.
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Following a secret method, Fang Yun refined the heartwood of a century-old tree into an emerald green elixir, which he used for daily bathing.
The effect is indeed there. After the baptism, the body seems to shed a layer of restraint and become more energetic.
The subtle stiffness in my meridians, like the twists and turns of plants, has eased considerably, and I feel much more vibrant.
"Unfortunately, there's only one; it's far from enough."
Fang Yun got out of the bathtub, used his magic to evaporate the water from his body, and put his alchemist robe back on.
He is preparing to undergo rigorous self-cultivation in order to reach the pinnacle of spiritual refinement as soon as possible.
Inside the storage bag, an item suddenly vibrated and hummed, attracting his attention.
"The Lingxi Jade Pendant?"
Upon seeing this, Fang Yun raised an eyebrow slightly.
This was bought by Niu Ben at a high price back in Qingmu Immortal City.
The jade pendant is divided into two parts, yin and yang, and can transmit messages across thousands of miles. It is extremely expensive.
San Niuzi was clearly not as simple and honest as he appeared; he was quite shrewd and had specially bought one for him.
In this way, the two can stay in touch at any time within the tribe.
Fang Yun reached out and unleashed a burst of magical power.
The jade pendant's surface shimmered with light, transforming into characters that appeared before one's eyes.
Fang Yun quickly glanced through the document, his expression immediately turning serious.
Funiu Mountain... has been attacked!
Niu Ben's explanation was very brief.
The gist is that a non-family retainer recruited by the family rebelled, suddenly killed people, and possessed the strength of a Qi Refining Master at the Great Perfection stage.
Caught off guard, he killed several Qi Refining Elders, resulting in heavy casualties.
Fortunately, the Niu family was not to be trifled with either; they immediately activated the formation, trapping the enemy inside.
At the same time, a group of women and children, led by Niu Ben, were being sent out and were heading towards Liuyun Market.
We hope he can send someone to meet us.
Upon receiving the news, Fang Yun immediately sent a telepathic talisman to Lu Guishou.
Then they prepared to meet Fang Yaode.
The Niu family of Funiu Mountain is a vassal family of Ziqing Lake, the kind that needs to pay tribute!
Now that something has gone wrong, they naturally need to find a trusted bigwig who can make decisions and take the blame.
"Damn it! What kind of Tom, Dick, and Harry dares to kill my Fang family's vassals? They're courting death, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
"Pass on my order: assemble a second-tier warship and thirty market enforcement cultivators, and set out for Mount Funiu!"
Fang Yun hadn't expected Fang Yaode to make such a big move.
They actually wanted to requisition the Fang family's only large warship in the market.
This guy has an extremely strong sense of belonging to his family. He was raised as a potential Foundation Establishment cultivator from a young age and is extremely loyal to his family.
Fang Yaode believed at this time.
The attack on Funiu Mountain was definitely orchestrated by other Foundation Establishment families, who were deliberately testing the Fang family's strength.
Therefore, they were determined to break through the formidable reputation of Ziqing Lake!
The warship roared, carrying a group of murderous cultivators, and disappeared into the night.
Fang Yun received the news late at night and handled it promptly, without wasting much time.
Just as dawn was breaking, they found the Niu family members who had escaped, and they migrated together like ants.
Rumble!
The second-tier warship descended from the sky, its rays piercing the darkness and illuminating San Niuzi's bewildered face.
Fang Yaode stood at the bow of the ship, his entire being like a god of war descending to earth, his gaze sweeping down:
"Lead the way! I'm going to slaughter them until the blood flows like a river!"
