Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 25

[Chapter 25 Invitation (Seeking follow-up reading)]

Chapter 25 Invitation (Please read on)
Using the pretext of purchasing spiritual rice and martial arts secrets, Fang Xing and Ding Hongxiu had a very pleasant conversation.

“It turns out that Miss Hongxiu is actually a cultivator. I am so disrespectful…”

Upon hearing that the other party was an immortal cultivator, Fang Xing couldn’t help but pretend to be serious and bowed first.

“No, no, my talent is low, I’m only at the second level of Qi training… Grandpa won’t let me go out of the market to make a living…”

Ding Hongxiu waved her hands: “I’m afraid I’ll be easily killed by some martial arts master…”

“Oh? I wonder how the innate master would win or lose in a fight with a Qi Refining cultivator?” Fang Xing became interested.

“I’m not too sure, but my grandfather told me that if a cultivator in the early stages of Qi training fails to use defensive talismans or magical tools in time and is approached by an innate master, it would be very dangerous…”

Ding Hongxiu said: “Of course, this situation will be much better in the middle stage of Qi training. Once they are at a distance and well prepared, cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training can easily slaughter innate warriors… Those great masters in the late stage of Qi training are not even comparable to any peak innate warrior.”

“I see……”

Fang Xing nodded. This was an evaluation from an immortal cultivator, so it should make sense.

“So a Jade Realm warrior can pose a threat to a cultivator in the early and middle stages of Qi training? What if it is a Jade Realm warrior who has learned A-level martial arts?”

“What if it’s a martial artist at the courage level?”

He felt that after he was promoted to the third or fourth level of martial arts in the future, he would probably be able to gain some sense of security.

“I wonder what kind of powerful forces exist in this market?”

After thinking about it, Fang Xing felt that it would be better to clarify this point.

“In the market, the Qingxuan Sect is naturally the most respected. This sect is the founder of Qinglin Market. There is always an elder in the foundation-building stage in charge. More than 60% of the shops in the market have close relations with it…”

“In addition, the Zheng family has an old ancestor who is in the foundation-building stage, who can be the second…”

“The Black Tiger Gang was formed by several independent cultivators who have completed their Qi training. Their leader, ‘Master Black Tiger’, is a mysterious figure that is hard to find. It is said that he has been secretly preparing to build his foundation. He is the third largest force in the market!”

An old voice sounded, interrupting the conversation between Fang Xing and Ding Hongxiu.

Fang Xing looked over and saw an old man with a white beard. He was wearing a Taoist robe that didn’t fit him well and had many holes in it, but it still had a hint of spirituality.

If you get a little closer, you can feel a cool feeling.

This is the “cold and heat immunity” effect that comes with the robe.

“This robe must have been used for who knows how many years… probably around the lower first rank…”

Fang Xing looked at the old man in Taoist robes and saw that he had dark skin and a lean build. On his waist was a large yellow gourd that gave off a slight aroma of wine. The most impressive thing about him was his red rosacea.

“It is very suitable for people who grow special rice to learn how to make wine.”

Fang Xing’s heart moved, and he felt the terrifying aura of this old man. He knew that the other party should not be in the early stage of Qi training, but a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training!

“Grandpa…you’re back?”

Ding Hongxiu was overjoyed to see the old man in Taoist robes, but she looked at the wine gourd on the old man’s waist with disgust: “You went to drink again?”

“My dear Hongxiu, you don’t know that the ‘Drunken Immortal Technique’ that your grandfather practices requires drinking alcohol, as the saying goes, ‘Drink three stones a day and become an immortal in a hundred days’!”

The old man in Taoist robes burped and bowed to Fang Xing, “My dear little brother, I am Ding Bushan. I heard you talking with Hong Xiu before, and I couldn’t help but interrupt you. Please don’t be offended.”

“No, no, the old man has a wide range of knowledge. I really benefited a lot from him.”

Fang Xing smiled and bowed, then said to Ding Hongxiu: “Give me thirty kilograms of lotus fragrant rice… give me a discount…”

“Okay, I originally wanted three spirit stones, but now I’ll give you three spirit sands for free. How about that?”

When she heard that business was coming, Ding Hongxiu’s eyes lit up, and she felt that she had finally made it after spending half a day chatting.

Fang Xing took out a low-grade spirit stone and seventeen spirit sands from his gains from setting up a stall today, gave them to Ding Hongxiu, then he carried the basket, waved his hand, and walked out of the market.

Amid the sound of the wind, there seemed to be a faint conversation between a grandfather and his grandson.

“Grandpa, you are too nosy…”

“My dear granddaughter, do you know who this person is? He doesn’t even rent a shack in the market town. He must be a desperado or a pauper. Do you think he looks like a pauper? In the future, don’t associate with people like him…”

…

The sound gradually faded and finally disappeared.

Fang Xing just smiled and said, “As expected, old people become more cunning, but I am also worried about my granddaughter…”

This is human nature, and he won’t hold a grudge about it.

Back at the temporary camp, everything started to get back on track.

“The most useful things about this world to me right now are this environment that is suitable for cultivation, as well as the various elixirs and spiritual rice…”

“Or those low-level talismans and blood-refined instruments…”

In the cave, Fang Xing was practicing the Big Dragon Posture while thinking about random things.

“In fact, these talismans and magic tools are of no use to me… After all, when I have money in the future, I can just buy a laser gun, which is more useful than any blood-refined magic tool… But I can prepare a few low-level talismans as a trump card for unexpected events.”

“These are the things that have helped me the most in this world so far…”

“Practice well, and when you reach the Perfection of Bones and Muscles, go buy the ‘Innate Pill’ immediately!”

Fang Xing had found out everything about the ‘Xiantian Pill’. It was sold in the Qingdan Shop, but the price was not very attractive. It required fifty low-grade spirit stones!

In terms of value, it is comparable to a low-grade magical weapon.

It is said that this is because refining the ‘Xiantian Pill’ requires the consumption of some of the spiritual medicines used in Qi Refining Pills.

Moreover, there are not many monks willing to buy the “Xiantian Pill” as a reward for their warriors because the market is too small.

But for Fang Xing.

“Fifty low-grade spirit stones are not difficult to obtain… As long as there is follow-up drone support, and we slowly pick spirit herbs and turn them into cash, we can always get them.”

…

Time has unknowingly come to July.

Eagle star.

Happy Home Community.

Feeling the hot temperature outside and the chirping of cicadas and birds, Fang Xing felt quite emotional.

“Come to think of it, my birthday is coming soon, right?”

The birthday of the cyborg Fang Xing is naturally based on the time he left the incubator, which is July 17th.

Therefore, although he really wanted to continue practicing in the other world until school started, he still had to come back now to deal with some matters, so as to avoid being thought to be missing and causing unnecessary trouble.

Fang Xing glanced at the attribute panel:
[Name: Fang Xing]

Age: 16

[Occupation: Warrior]

[Second level: tendons and bones (tendon training: 16/100)]

[Twelve Military Boxing Styles: 44/100 (Proficient)]

[Big Dragon Posture: 6/200 (Mastery)]

【Gate of the Heavens (Charging)】

…

“Since I started taking the spiritual rice, my progress in strengthening my tendons has been basically about one point a day. Although it is much slower than taking the elixir, I feel very stable, without any sense of blood and qi being empty. I take one step at a time, feeling very down-to-earth…”

“If we continue like this, we should be able to improve our tendon training by more than half before school starts… This is already very impressive. Improving too quickly without a teacher’s guidance is not good either…”

Thinking of the guidance of his master, Fang Xing sighed.

It was indeed troublesome to lose Xia Long’s guidance during the holidays.

Apart from anything else, I don’t know who to learn the advanced martial arts after breaking through the second realm.

“How about calling Teacher Xia Long? Or… hiring a private instructor? But I don’t have any money…”

“Some videos on the Internet can be used as references, but if you really believe them, you won’t know how you died…”

“The best way to teach martial arts is to teach by example face to face…”

After all, everyone’s physical fitness is different, so teaching needs to be tailored to the individual.

Not to mention, mysterious things like the will of martial arts cannot be reflected on the Internet at all.

He turned on his phone and replied to some text messages. His eyes turned and stopped on Liu Wei’s number, and he was silent for a while.

In the past few years, Fang Xing’s birthday has always been without this bad friend.

now……

“Alas… the past cannot be retrieved.”

Fang Xing sighed, and when he saw another message, his eyes suddenly froze.

After a moment’s contemplation, he called back.

Whoosh!
A 3D projection appeared. Gu Yun, who still looked like a little girl, looked much calmer. She looked around and said, “So you live in this kind of environment…”

“Miss Gu…”

Fang Xing nodded and greeted him, then immediately realized that his wording was a little inappropriate, probably because he was influenced by the language style of the other world.

“Girl, what an ancient name. You can call me Ms. Gu…”

Gu Yun said bluntly: “I need a sparring partner. Xing Yuan is easy to talk to. Would you like to come?”

“Come!”

…

The glorious Jiang Mansion.

Training ground.

Gu Yun had a cold face, wearing a training suit, and still holding the wooden sword in his hand.

No!
In Fang Xing’s opinion, the girl’s personality had changed a lot after her father Gu Renwang died in battle.

Looking at her temperament at this moment, she is just like a piece of ice!

“This time, I want you to give it your all and wear protective clothing.”

Gu Yun stood with his sword across his body and said coldly, “If I hurt you, I will pay for the medical expenses.”

“I didn’t bring my nanosuit…”

Fang Xing smiled: “But I am sure…”

He had left both the nano suit and the electric baton in another world, and he had no intention of getting them back.

All he wanted to bring back were some things from the other world.

Now I am planning how to go to the black market and get some money.

‘The magical rice and talismans from another world…are incompatible with the specialties of Young Eagle Star. They are not easy to sell even on the black market…but there is also gold and silver there!’

In the interstellar age, gold is no longer considered a precious metal and its price has dropped a lot, but it is still relatively valuable.

In Qinglin Market, gold is a material for refining tools. It takes tens of thousands of kilograms to extract a few ounces of “gold essence” from it.

The raw material gold is not very expensive, and one spiritual sand can buy a lot of it.

After discovering the same metal in the two worlds, Fang Xing immediately thought of reselling it.

“Just make a move once, and the money will be enough…”

‘At least, you need to buy a real self-defense weapon…’

“My current strength is too weak. If I encounter a well-prepared cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training, or a great master in the late stage of Qi training, it will be very dangerous.”

“And I’m making rapid progress. I need an excuse. I need to make money, or even launder money… so that I can use it openly and buy nutrient solution to invest in myself…”

…

“You dare to be distracted when sparring with me?”

Suddenly, a clear shout was heard, interrupting Fang Xing’s thoughts.

Swish!
The knife flashed brightly and landed directly on his head!
