Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 566

Chapter 566: Yunlaifang

“That’s not the case… But I believe that good wine needs no bush. As long as it’s good, it will always attract people.”

Fang Xing said lightly.

“Yeah, that makes sense.”

Old Lu took another sip of Monkey Wine and said, “It just so happens that I have to go to a magic battle tomorrow, so I can prepare three or five as a backup… Where are you going to set up your stall in the future, little brother?”

“If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Yunlaifang Market.”

Fang Xing thought about it and replied.

“That’s great.”

Old Lu nodded and gave out five coins.

After the first income, several buyers followed.

By the evening, Fang Xing counted the money in his hands and found that he had thirty-seven talisman coins. He nodded, closed his stall and started shopping.

When he came to Yunlai Market, he naturally found out a lot of information in advance.

This market town was jointly built by several Taoist families nearby, and the family members are usually employed to maintain order, so it is barely safe.

Moreover, the variety of goods is quite complete.

Fang Xing walked into a bookstore. This kind of bookstore with a fixed store has a slightly better reputation.

“Sir, what kind of books would you like to buy?”

A middle-aged man dressed in Confucian clothes and dressed like a scholar came over.

“The ‘Qingmu Gong’ technique, and the ‘Records of the Great Zhou Dynasty’…”

Fang Xing glanced at the bookshelf and gave the answer.

“Qingmu Gongfa Jue, a common wood attribute Gongfa, with very detailed levels one to nine… the price is twenty Fu coins.”

“The Great Zhou Fengwu Zhi is divided into a detailed version and a simplified version. I can use the simplified version as a bonus for this transaction, but the detailed version requires ten talisman coins.”

The middle-aged scholar laughed.

“I want a detailed version…”

Fang Xing raised his hand and threw out thirty talisman coins.

He already knew that entry-level skills in the cultivation world were relatively cheap. By comparing the two, he realized how badly the stall owner had ripped him off.

However, it was a pure seller’s market at that time and there was nothing we could do.

“Well, wait a moment, my dear. I’ll go get the book.”

The middle-aged scholar retreated to the counter and reminded, “The real authentic books are usually hidden in our bookstore. The ones we put out are either just a few pages, or contain traps and errors… If customers are bored, they can just flip through some.”

Fang Xing: “…”

…

After a while, the middle-aged man came back with a tray. “The Qingmu Kungfu and the Detailed Edition of the Great Zhou Fengwu Zhi are both here… In addition, the Qingmu Kungfu is the entry-level Kungfu of Qingmuling. If the guest builds a foundation with this Kungfu, he still needs to join this sect if he wants to learn the subsequent Kungfu.”

He reminded: “This is also a method used by large sects to select disciples.”

“I see.”

Fang Xing nodded. No wonder the skills were so cheap. There were indeed many traps in it.

However, he had also inquired about Qingmuling and learned that it was a righteous sect and its style of doing things was better than that of the Blood Shadow Sect.

Moreover, most of the exercises on the market are like this, there is nothing to choose from.

Compared to the several volumes of “Records of the Scenery of the Great Zhou Dynasty”, there is only a thin book recording the secrets of the “Qingmu Gong” technique.

He first turned to the first page, compared it with the part he had obtained, and nodded secretly.

Then, turn to the next few levels.

“In this world, the early stages of cultivation for cultivators can be divided into two major stages: ‘Nine levels of Qi Sensing and three levels of Dao Foundation’…”

“Most of the independent cultivators are at the Qi Sensing Realm. Those who can enter the Dao Foundation Realm are all small giants, capable of establishing small sects and families, and even protecting the market town…”

“There are nine levels of sensing Qi… sensing Qi, refining Qi, transforming Qi, gathering Qi, combining Qi, nourishing Qi, evil Qi, strong Qi, and mixed Qi. The first three levels focus on ‘sensing and refining’, the middle three levels are ‘condensing’, and the last three levels focus on improving the quality of Qi… At the end, it is ‘a breath of mixed Qi, laying my supreme foundation’… using ‘mixed Qi’ to build the foundation of Taoism?”

“It can be said that every step of the ninth level of Qi Sensing determines the quality of one’s future foundation… And the major sects do not occupy any spiritual veins, but rather a number of ‘evil points’ that are suitable for their Qi training…”

Fang Xing even suspected that there was some secret technique in the Blood Shadow Sect that could fill the evil points with corpses and improve their quality. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why they treated the paper slaves so harshly, as if they wanted them to die.

“For me, the best place to practice is naturally a place with abundant plant and tree energy… just plant more trees near your residence.”

After roughly flipping through Qing Mugong and confirming that there were no mistakes or omissions, Fang Xing flipped through the “Records of the Great Zhou Dynasty” again.

In fact, the land outside the world theoretically also belongs to the category of Da Zhou.

Therefore, in the “Records of the Great Zhou Dynasty”, there is also a rough map of the “outside world” and an introduction to many forces.

Fang Xing bought this book naturally for the purpose of planning his future settlement.

Even if the place outside is not good, he might as well sneak back to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This is the confidence brought to him by the [Wild Transformation] that has never appeared in this world.

If he could perfectly transform into an ordinary animal, passing the ‘Three Absolute Gates’ would not be a problem – if the Great Zhou Dynasty was really that good, Fang Xing would not mind immigrating there.

He turned to the introduction of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his expression changed slightly:
“The Great Zhou Dynasty was founded by the descendants of the gods and lasted for more than 5,000 years…”

“Incense is prevalent in this dynasty. Family spirits, land gods, and city gods are the backbone of the law, and temple priests, sorcerers, and ghost soldiers and generals are their wings and claws… An imperial decree prohibits folk practice. All practitioners must register with the government and perform labor service… Random practitioners are all considered serious criminals and will be killed without mercy.”

“It looks a bit like the Dynasty of Fortune. No wonder it is called the Divine Dynasty…”

“But I am sure that this kind of system hates those who think they have great power… No wonder all of them, good or evil, are driven out to the outer world.”

“If I were an ordinary person, I could live a good life in the Great Zhou Dynasty. At least my life would be good… But if I want to live a carefree life of cultivating immortals, forget it.”

Fang Xing shook his head secretly and rejected one of the original plans.

If you want to completely avoid the troubles of the Blood Shadow Sect, it is best to go to the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty.

But it doesn’t matter if I can’t go.

It was just a mortal slave who was lost. Even if that slave killed a few more slaves, it was actually nothing.

Fang Xing estimated that the level of importance that the Blood Shadow Sect attached to him was probably circulated among the disciples in charge of the Paper Slave Valley.

It is still far from meeting the standard of being wanted by a major force.

In this way, as long as the distance is far enough, there is actually no need to worry about anything, even the name “Fang Xing” does not need to be changed!
After all, there are too many people with the same name in the world.

By the time he becomes famous, many years or even decades will have passed, and perhaps the disciples who knew about this matter have died of old age…

…

After leaving the bookstore, Fang Xing strolled around the market again.

As a druid, he was naturally very interested in various spiritual plants, but they were extremely rare in the market.

Finally, I bought some seeds of mulberry, hemp and the like, and prepared to go back and plant my own trees.

Prepare to peel and pulp the skin in the future to make “blood paper”.

Well, in the process of making blood paper, the secret methods of the Blood Shadow Sect might still be needed, but at least it shouldn’t be a problem to make paper with a quality similar to that of talisman money.

This is a preparation for practicing the secret art of papermaking in the future.

After all, the best time to plant trees was ten years ago, and the second best time is now.

As for actually starting to practice?

Fang Xing didn’t dare to put in too much effort without developing the talent of [Immortal Body].

At most, he would practice the “Manquan Hand” occasionally to prepare for origami in the future.

…

Nightfall.

Fang Xing left Yunlaifang City and returned to nature, feeling particularly at home.

The journey was very peaceful, and no robbery cultivators appeared, which made his plan to multiply the profit several times again fail.

“That’s right… it’s just a transaction of a few dozen coins.”

“If this is robbed, then there is no need to open the Yunlai Market anymore… Those Taoist families behind the scenes can just starve to death…”

He came to the cave for a short rest, quietly lit the oil lamp, and began to read by lamplight.

First, memorize the formula of “Aoki Kung Fu” and know it by heart.

Then I read “Records of the Scenery of the Great Zhou Dynasty”, focusing on the part about the foreign lands.

“From the map, Fangwai is located in the southwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is just a remote corner…”

“In the outside world, various forces are mixed together, led by the ten major sects of good and evil…”

“The Yunlaifang City where I am now is located in the northeast of the Fangwai Land, which is relatively close to the Three Absolute Passes and the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty…”

“Similarly, the Feijian Sect, which is closest to the Three Absolute Pass, is considered the most powerful sect among the ten great sects of good and evil, but it is difficult to use all its strength to fight internally… and according to the covenant, the other nine sects will also contribute manpower to assist the Feijian Sect in confronting the Three Absolute Pass… If anything happens, they must do their best to come to the rescue!”

“The remaining Corpse Driving Sect and Qing Mu Ling are not much different in strength…”

“According to my original plan, if I cannot enter the Great Zhou Dynasty, perhaps I can consider seeking shelter from a certain force?”

“Of these two options, I naturally prefer Qing Mu Ling…”

However, Fang Xing still had some resistance to becoming a formal disciple of Qingmuling.

After all, his druidic practice requires him to be close to nature at all times, and some of his actions may seem strange to outsiders.

“Or should we enter Qingmuling’s sphere of influence and become a casual cultivator? Or should we rely on the forces under Qingmuling’s jurisdiction?”

Fang Xing didn’t have much desire for cultivation resources.

The most critical issue with plant essence is something he can solve by planting trees.

In addition to this, there are the techniques after the Dao Foundation Realm.

It is not urgent to start planning from now on.

Even if one does not rely on the cultivation system of this world at all and only follows the natural way of the druids, one can still become an extremely powerful person!
This is the confidence of holding a transcendent inheritance.

“However, practicing the skills here can speed up the accumulation of druid experience points, so it is still worth practicing…”

Fang Xing looked outside the cave and made a decision silently: “I can settle down in the Qingmuling sphere of influence first… and then start to improve myself. Of course, the most important thing is to find my original body… but where did my original body go? I can only slightly sense its status, but I can’t locate it at all?”
