Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 237 Bright Crystal

a few days later.

Inside the magnificent palace, the sound of the zither lingered for three days.

Wang Ziqin played the zither, Wang Zixuan danced, and Fang Qing leaned back in a soft chair, casually eating spiritual fruit with a relaxed expression.

After the song ended, Wang Ziqin's expression turned somewhat resentful: "Fellow Daoist lit the fire, causing quite a commotion for my family..." "Haha... Fellow Daoist Ziqin, you're wronging me. This is a parasite born of your own family, it has nothing to do with me... Besides, I've even eliminated a hidden danger for your Wang family." Fang Qing laughed: "Otherwise, if they dared to frame you few in the early Core Formation stage today, they would dare to betray their late Core Formation ancestor tomorrow... To deal with such people, we must strike hard!" "Fellow Daoist makes it sound so easy..."

A pang of bitterness welled up in Wang Zixuan's heart, not only from the pain of being betrayed by someone close to her, but also from the headaches that followed...

Many of the Wang family members who framed Wang Jinhai and Wang Jinfeng were related to her family, some even being cousins ​​or nephews... How could she deal with a bunch of elderly people with white hair kneeling in front of her family, pleading bitterly?

"In the propagation of family bloodlines, there will always be a few unfilial sons... Especially on the path of cultivation, the difference between Foundation Establishment and Core Formation is a chasm of magical power and supernatural abilities, a difference of hundreds of years in lifespan... How many people can remain unmoved?" Wang Ziqin, however, was more open-minded, and curtsied: "This time, I must thank you again, fellow Daoist... Uncle Feng has already prepared to open the family treasury, allowing you to choose any treasures as a reward." "Oh, then I will accept your offer."

Fang Qing laughed heartily.

If he hadn't foreseen that there was another opportunity for him in the Wang family's treasure vault, would he have bothered to come to the Wang family again?

"Lead the way!"

He had Wang Ziqin and her sister lead the way. All the Wang family cultivators they encountered along the way bowed respectfully by the roadside, some even avoiding them as if they were plague carriers. After all, news of what Fang Qing had done to Wang Jinyuan had already spread.

The Wang family has a tacit rumor that this person is a Daoist progenitor of a powerful force, possessing abundant intelligence resources, and acting recklessly and without restraint. If he were to reveal something again, it would be disrespectful to everyone.

*Sigh...it's lonely at the top.*

Fang Qing sighed inwardly and arrived at the deepest part of the Wang family's formation.

Uncle Feng, dressed like a wealthy landowner, was already waiting there, his face solemn: "Fellow Daoist...please!"

He held a golden token in his hand and made a hand seal.

Runes entered the treasure vault's gate, and soon the gate burst open, releasing countless rays of light.

"Haha... They're afraid I have some powerful background, so they don't dare let me participate in the battle. They just want me to take the benefits and leave as soon as possible?" Fang Qing saw through the mentality of these Wang family cultivators. With his hands behind his back, he walked into the Wang family treasury with great curiosity.

As a Core Formation faction, the spiritual materials that can be included in their treasure vault are basically at least quasi-third rank.

The treasure vault was not large, with only a few shelves, but every single spiritual item on it was extraordinary.

Fang Qing first noticed a row of medicine cabinets, all made of purple fragrant wood, which could preserve the medicinal properties and prevent them from being lost. Inside, there were also specially made "jade ointment boxes". There were also notes on many of the medicine cabinets, recording the names of the medicinal materials and their year of production.

"There are quite a few thousand-year-old medicinal herbs..."

Fang Qing saw several kinds, all of which were needed to refine the "Mysterious Star Waterfall Pill", and his heart stirred.

At this moment, Uncle Feng, who had been accompanying him all the way, smiled and said, "I heard from those two girls that you are looking for spiritual herbs to refine pills? If they are medicinal materials, you may choose three portions..." This was clearly an attempt to befriend him.

As the leader of a powerful force, it was only natural for Uncle Feng to try and win over Fang Qing, a high-level cultivator with extraordinary cultivation techniques and extensive intelligence networks. Fang Qing nodded and then shook his head, feeling that the Zhong Alliance could also collect these spiritual herbs, which didn't seem like the opportunities he had obtained through divination. He then went to the magic weapon shelf. There were only a few magic weapons displayed there, mostly of low grade. He glanced at them and moved on to the mineral shelf next to him.

"what?"

Only then did Fang Qing's heart stir, and he reached out and took a pitch-black iron box.

Once opened, inside was a palm-sized piece of ore, radiating a dazzling, brilliant light.

"This is a fourth-tier 'Radiant Grade'... suitable for crafting some mirror-shaped magical artifacts."

An old voice rang out.

Inside the treasure vault, another Core Formation cultivator had appeared, his aura reaching the late Core Formation stage. He wore a golden robe, had large, thick hands and feet, and his beard and hair bristled, resembling a lion king awakened from its slumber. "Brother..."

Uncle Feng quickly bowed.

"So it was the Wang family patriarch."

Fang Qing smiled, knowing that this was the pillar of the Wang family, the ancestor in the late stage of Core Formation.

"I am Wang Junjie, and I greet you, fellow Daoist."

The Wang family patriarch bowed and smiled, "This is one of the most precious treasures in the treasury... Fellow Daoist, do you find it pleasing to the eye?" "Indeed, this is just what I need."

Fang Qing nodded.

Among the magical artifacts of his "Swallowing the Sea Technique" is a "Mysterious Sea Mirror," which is exactly what he needs as the main material!

"Other Core Formation cultivators, who already possess a natal magic weapon, certainly wouldn't want to refine any more..."

After all, cultivating one's natal magic weapon will greatly consume the true essence of the core.

Generally speaking, one or two items are enough for an ordinary Core Formation cultivator.

In other battles, there are naturally ordinary magical treasures, and even rare and precious items and talismans available...

However, the "Mysterious Nether Mirror" is different. This treasure can "illuminate illusions and purify the mind and spirit," and it has a certain effect on the "inner demon tribulation" during the condensation of the primordial essence. Therefore, Fang Qing will definitely refine it and will cultivate it with great effort.

He even planned to search for the fourth-tier dragon eye needed to refine the "Abyss Eye Pearl" to enhance his divine sense! "After all... that's the Yuanqu Heavenly Barrier! It's fraught with many tribulations... it's always good to be well-prepared."

Unfortunately, although the Wang family was considered wealthy among the Core Formation factions, they couldn't possibly possess materials from demonic beasts with the bloodline of the Candle Dragon...

"This 'Radiant Item' has been in my family's treasure vault for many years. Now it seems that it is destined to be with you, fellow Daoist."

The Wang family patriarch chuckled and flicked his sleeve with one hand.

A massive surge of magical power landed on the black box containing the Radiant Item.

In an instant, the sound of the restrictions shattering rang out.

As treasures of the Wang family, these items naturally contain hidden restrictions. If someone unaware of this were to take them out of the treasure vault, it would immediately trigger a reaction from the entire clan's protective array... Although the Wang family's third-tier array is nothing to Fang Qing, it was still a well-intentioned gesture.

Furthermore, the fact that the Wang family patriarch could release the restriction with a flick of his sleeve, revealing his powerful magical strength and control over divine sense, was certainly a form of intimidation! "Thank you, fellow Daoist."

Fang Qing laughed heartily, put Ming Yaopin into his storage bag, and was still thinking to himself:

"This world of Qi Refining is rich in resources... even those at the Core Formation stage can access fourth-tier spiritual materials..."

"If it were a Daoist practitioner, that would be a True Person at the early or middle stage of the Purple Mansion realm... to obtain a Purple Mansion spiritual item used by a Great True Person at the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm... well, it's not impossible, but the odds are too slim..." The three of them left the Wang family's treasure vault. He looked at the Wang family patriarch and Wang Junfeng and smiled, "What follows is merely a matter for the Wang family. As an outsider, I will not disturb you further. Farewell..." "This..."

Wang Junfeng was clearly caught off guard, but the Wang family patriarch stroked his beard and laughed, "Fellow Daoist, please wait... May I ask where your immortal abode is? I will certainly pay you a visit another day." "It's just a mere, nameless place..."

Fang Qing laughed heartily, no longer glancing at the pale-faced Wang Ziqin and her sister, before transforming into a streak of sword light and swiftly flying away from Wangjia Island.

"Brother... are we just going to let this person go like this?"

Watching the sword light fly out of the formation, Wang Junfeng finally couldn't hold back any longer: "This brat took advantage of the most outstanding woman in my Wang family and just left! He's truly not a human being!" "Hmph, you have the nerve to say that?"

The Wang family patriarch glared at his younger cousin: "I went into seclusion and entrusted the family to you, and this is how you manage it? You've made a mess of things... You've even gone so far as to harm Foundation Establishment cultivators and Core Formation cultivators. If my Wang family cultivators were to emerge in the future, wouldn't we be laughed at by our fellow cultivators?"

"Well……"

When this was mentioned, Wang Junfeng was filled with shame: "I am guilty... I beg my cousin to take back this clan authority, and I will go to the clan's punishment hall to receive my punishment..." Now that the clan is in such a mess, he really doesn't want to take on this burden anymore.

After all, they're both my flesh and blood.

Even when the Wang family patriarch rushed out of seclusion, he was still extremely troubled by this situation.

"Alas...you wretched child! You wretched child!"

He sighed repeatedly and asked, "What did the three villains of the Tong family say?"

Now that they knew there was a reason behind it, the Wang family naturally wanted to reconcile.

but……

"The three Tong brothers refused..."

Wang Junfeng felt his head was about to explode: "After all, practicing the 'Childlike Heart Sutra' makes one's temperament like a mischievous child; once they've made up their mind, nothing can change it... They said that since we've decided to have a magical duel, we have to fight to the end!" "Sigh... What kind of mess is this?"

The Wang family patriarch sighed deeply: "So be it... Let them fight if they want. Do they really think I'm afraid of that old demon? And this Bai Jianfeng who suddenly appeared, his origins are quite suspicious... Even that one palace and one temple, could they really have such great power that they know so much about the secret affairs within our Core Formation families?"

"What my cousin says is true..."

Wang Junfeng had some guesses in his mind.

"Behind the three fierce Tongs is the 'Old Demon of Clouds and Rain,' a late-stage Core Formation cultivator who has roamed the land for many years... How could he not have a background? He probably comes from Blood Fiend Island..." The Wang family patriarch sighed, "Bai Jianfeng's swordsmanship is awe-inspiring, yet he conceals his origins... He might even be from the demonic path, or from Blood Fiend Island!" "Blood Fiend Island is full of demonic cultivators, yet Bai Jianfeng's sword energy is condensed and orderly..."

Wang Junfeng clearly didn't believe it.

"Hmph! Those who exude demonic aura so clearly that even we cultivators can see through them are just fake demonic cultivators!"

The Wang family patriarch said, "Your cultivation is still too shallow. True demonic cultivators are all outwardly virtuous, even more virtuous than upright gentlemen... Sword cultivators are extreme and most prone to demonic possession!" "What about the Ziqin sisters?"

Wang Junfeng was shocked.

"So what if I'm a demonic cultivator? In this cultivation world of the East Sea, strength reigns supreme. Having a path on the demonic path isn't bad..."

The Wang family patriarch suddenly smiled: "Otherwise, why would I have given that brat a piece of fourth-grade spirit ore?"
