Yukong was flying very fast, and the man in black robe was quickly catching up with him while wielding a first-order mid-grade magic weapon, the black sword.
The man in black robe knew that he could not run away, so he decisively begged for mercy loudly:
"I was blind and didn't realize that senior was here. As long as senior spares my life, I am willing to give up all my wealth."
What responded to him was a volley of palms, which shot him down in the air and fell straight into the swamp mud below.
"Stupid, even if I kill you, it's mine."
The fallen man still wanted to resist, but Yu Jian came to kill him.
But when he saw Fang Ze holding the flying sword with his bare hands and unable to move, he became completely desperate.
He pinched his sword and slashed the master to death with his backhand. Fang Ze squeezed hard with his five fingers, and the flying sword let out a mournful cry and stopped moving.
Picking up the storage bag at his waist, putting away the black sword, burning the body, Fang Ze turned around and returned.
When I came back, I found that Meng Tianye had already returned, and he directly captured the woman and threw her on the Qingmu boat.
Seeing Fang Ze coming back, the woman quickly crawled over, holding a storage bag in her hand, with a low posture, showing off her figure to the fullest:
"Senior, spare your life, I am willing to sacrifice everything!"
Fang Ze didn't look at her, just smiled and said to Meng Tianye:
"You are stronger than I thought. You have a good talent in swordsmanship. You can major in this area in the future."
Meng Tianye forced out a smile and said:
"The strength of the Boundary Master is even more surprising. If I'm not mistaken, the Boundary Master is only at the sixth level of Qi refining, but he can easily crush the late stage of Qi refining. When the Qi refining is complete, I'm afraid he will be able to enter the Canglong Mansion's Hidden Dragon List. .”
"Qian Long Bang..."
Fang Ze smiled.
It may not be possible now. Even the current mana is not enough, and there is no good magic weapon.
But if you wait until your cultivation reaches the late stage of Qi refining, with a mana that is a hundred times that of the ordinary late stage of Qi refining, a powerful physical body, and a few handy magic weapons, then you can try to challenge it.
He doesn't care about the reputation brought by the Hidden Dragon List, but what he cares about most is the rewards and side benefits.
If he can enter the Cangyun Mansion sub-list of the Qianlong Ranking, even if he is only ranked among the bottom 300 or so, he will be able to receive generous rewards from the school, and his mentor will definitely accept him as a disciple immediately and train him vigorously.
These are the most direct benefits.
Not to mention all the hidden benefits.
"Let's see what we can gain from this floating island first. If we gain enough, we can challenge it after we return."
Looking up at the woman lying on the ground, he asked directly:
"Tell me the situation in the nearby practice world and what forces there are on this floating island."
The woman raised her head in surprise and asked:
"Senior come from other floating islands?"
"Um?"
She quickly lowered her head and said:
"A few dozen miles away from here is the edge of the swamp. There is Cuixia Mountain, and there is a city of casual cultivators in it. It was established by a senior foundation builder. All the nearby casual cultivators gather there."
"Are there any other forces? I saw a warship from the Three Immortals Chamber of Commerce hunting a big fish before."
"The Three Immortals Chamber of Commerce is a well-known large chamber of commerce in the entire floating island. It was jointly established by three foundation-building seniors. There is a branch of them in Cuixia Shanfang City."
"In addition, there are more than a dozen immortal cultivating families within a few hundred miles of Cuixia Mountain. I heard that the largest families have foundation-building ancestors."
"Any more?"
The woman shook her head quickly:
"That's all nearby, we haven't been to any further places."
"Let's introduce the position and strength of these forces in detail, how many strong ones there are, and whether they have any powerful trump cards."
The woman raised her head in surprise. This question felt inexplicably familiar.
However, she didn't have the guts to ask, let alone conceal anything. She answered them one by one, and even told some rumors that she had heard but had no evidence for.
"Well......"
After hearing what he said, Fang Ze held his chin with his hand and glanced at Fang Yuan.
But Fang Yuan looked confused.
It was Meng Tianye who took action, swinging his sword and bowing his head.
This kind of calamity cultivator is basically a person who is full of evildoers. He will never do bad things and will not be spared.
And letting her go would expose himself.
I killed three robbery cultivators and took three storage bags, but the blood eel was missing. It had already disappeared into the mud and disappeared.
He was too lazy to chase and counted the storage bag. There were only 116 medium-grade spiritual stones, 582 low-grade spiritual stones, more than a dozen medicine bottles, including elixirs and unknown liquids, a large number of spiritual ores, some unknown elixirs and unknown Named spiritual species.
There are only two intact magical weapons, the first-order middle-grade evil spirit gourd and the first-order middle-grade black flying sword. The other magical weapons were destroyed in the battle just now.
"Poor guy!"
Although most of them are unrecognizable, judging from the spiritual intensity, there is nothing good about them.
But that's right, a calamity cultivator or a casual cultivator, what good things can there be.
The money earned has long been exchanged for cultivation resources, otherwise how would the three of them be in the later stage of Qi refining.
"If you want to gain a big harvest, you have to rob the cultivation forces or the foundation-building monks."
In this small battle, Fang Ze learned a little about the strength of casual cultivators in foreign worlds.
Without foundation building, they are basically no match for them.
It's hard to say about the power of the sect and the family. After all, the foundation-building monks are on another level. Their magic power is liquefied, the spiritual weapons they use are more powerful than the magical weapons, and the various methods and spells are also more powerful. It's really hard to say before you have never fought.
So before taking action, you have to test it out first.
According to what the indigenous female monk just said, Fang Ze disguised himself and changed into a robe commonly worn by indigenous monks, then took Fang Yuan, Meng Tianye, and five Taoist soldiers, and drove a green wooden boat to the swamp bank. Fly away.
Not long after, I saw the edge of the swamp in the distance, and a small mountain range towered over the endless plain.
There are more than a dozen hills of different heights, and there is a peak in the center that is estimated to be two to three thousand meters. The aura at the top surrounds the peak, and a dazzling beam of light rises into the sky.
According to what the female robbery cultivator said, that was Mount Cuixia, the cave of a monk named Master Cuixia who was in the middle stage of foundation building.
It is said that there is a second-order high-grade spiritual vein in the mountain, and there is a second-order high-grade mountain-protecting formation.
There is a small city outside the formation, which is one of the gathering places for casual cultivators within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
"Fangshi..."
Generally, the market is a trading place for monks, and a lot of materials are gathered and dispersed every day.
Master Cuixia has been sitting here for hundreds of years and has accumulated a lot of supplies. Even if he uses a lot, the rest will be enough to make him rich.
"It would be great if we could kill Master Cuixia and seize Cuixia Mountain."
However, although the idea is good, it is difficult to implement.
Master Cuixia is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building. She has a second-level high-grade mountain-protecting formation. She has accumulated so much wealth and has at least high-grade or even top-grade spiritual weapons, and even talismans.
In addition, Master Cuixia also has many disciples, and the disciples she recruits are...
Fang Ze held his chin with his hand, thinking about his own capital and the strength of the monks in the middle stage of foundation building, and felt a little anxious in his heart.
If it were a one-on-one fight, he would definitely not be able to defeat Master Cuixia.
Don't look at the fact that he easily crushed three calamity cultivators in the late stage of Qi refining just now.
With a mana that is a hundred times that of a sixth-level Qi Refining monk, at most it would allow him to surpass Qi Refining Perfection, but it is still inferior to the strength of a Foundation Establishment monk.
Because the foundation-building monk's mana is liquefied, its quality is ten times that of the gaseous mana of the Qi-refining monk.
If you want to compete head-on with the monks in the early stages of foundation building, you must at least upgrade to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
If he wants to compete with Master Cuixia who is in the middle stage of foundation building with his own ability, he must at least reach the ninth level of Qi refining, or reach the tenth level of perfection.
But that is only a competition in terms of cultivation, and there is a huge difference in terms of wealth.
His only reliance is the Chaos Clock.
He broke through the cauldron and activated the Chaos Clock, killing Master Cuixia with one blow.
But this is still unstable, because even if the magic power of this thing is a hundred times that of before, it still cannot be activated.
The power of the innate spiritual treasure is more than what he has shown before.
If the power of the complete innate spiritual treasure is 100, even if it was overdrawn before, it would only activate 12% of the power.
Now the strength has improved further, but it still cannot reach the power of fully stimulating the innate spiritual treasure. It has only changed from 12% before to 56% now, and it still needs to be overdrawn.
This means that even if the Chaos Clock is activated and Master Cuixia is successfully killed, he will fall into a weak state and be unable to control the situation.
Master Cuixia still has disciples, formations, and a large number of casual cultivators in Fang City.
With the strength of Fang Yuan, Meng Tianye, and all the Dao soldiers, it was almost impossible to control the situation.
unless...
He could sneak into Master Cuixia's cave, kill Master Cuixia inside, and then master the mountain-protecting formation, and use the mountain-protecting formation to block the casual cultivators outside.
Then, before the casual cultivators and other nearby foundation-building cultivators could react, they stabilized the situation, plundered all Master Cuixia's property, and ran away.
The idea is great, the only problem is how to get in.
The flying boat landed after it docked. A group of people got off the boat and prepared to walk there.
"Amano, what do you think?"
Meng Tianye was silent for a while and said:
"I think the first step is to blend into the market for a few months. In addition to becoming familiar, it can also reduce the rejection of heaven in this world."
Fang Ze pursed his lips, nodded and said:
"indeed!"
It is completely impossible to prepare for action when you first arrive.
Newcomers coming to any place will receive special attention and will not be believed by any force, let alone the rejection from the heaven of this world. It is even more difficult to gain trust.
"In that case, let's enter the market category first, open a forging shop, and build a reputation first."
Meng Tianye nodded:
"The Realm Lord decides."
"Then first, let's go there first."
This is also the normal process for the Lords of the Immortal Realm and Cave Heaven to come to the foreign world. No one wants to conquer the world when they first arrive. The first step is to understand the situation, take a buffer to adapt to their own world, and when the rejection of the world's will of heaven is reduced to a minimum , the activity will start.
This process often takes several years.
If you want to conquer some powerful worlds, the preliminary preparations will take decades or even hundreds of years.
The most common preparation for the strategy is to become famous in one's own world in one's own name, either to establish a power or to establish a sect, to accept the natives of the world as disciples, and then to develop the sect, cut down mountains and temples, and conquer other sects. Door, in the end I am the only one who dominates.
Not long after leaving the swamp, I found a road, and soon saw mortal villages, towns, and cultivated farmland.
Half a day later, the group arrived not far from Cuixia Mountain.
Fang Ze raised his head and glanced at the Cuixia Mountain in front of him, as well as the figures of monks that Taniguchi saw coming and going from time to time, and smiled slightly.
There are no barriers to entering the valley. There are no guards at the entrance of the valley, only a phantom formation to intercept mortals.
There was no one outside the valley. Fang Ze led his men through the illusion array and entered the valley. Suddenly, a small town built in the valley suddenly opened up before his eyes.
The stone and wooden buildings built against the mountain are connected by wooden steps and extend into the valley.
There are not many people in Fang City, but they are all monks. Most of them are not very good at cultivation. They are hovering between the early and middle stages of Qi refining. In the late stage of Qi refining, they are already considered great masters.
The arrival of their group quickly attracted the attention of the monks in the valley. They looked at the group with scrutinizing eyes. Fang Ze noticed that there were many fierce-looking eyes flickering.
Unfazed, he stepped into the valley.
Next, I spent a few hours walking around the valley, and then found the person in charge of the market under Cuixia Peak. I spent 100 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones to rent a small building in a slightly remote location to open a store.
Renting a house is not expensive, but the tax paid is 30% of all profits.
The small building has three floors. It has not been cleaned for a while and there is some dust inside.
I did some simple cleaning and started shopping for things to open the store the next day.
Although there is a complete set of forging equipment in the cave, it is not easy to take it out directly.
After working hard for a few days, on the fifth day, many people who paid attention to them discovered that the sign of Fang's Forging Shop was hung on the door of the small building.
There was a burst of firecrackers, and Fang Ze stood at the door and held his hands in all directions:
"Comrades, I have some skills and am planning to open a blacksmithing shop and a sword-making shop here. If you have any needs, you can come and place an order."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the house without any intention of soliciting guests.
It's just a fool. If the business is too good, it will be troublesome.
In the days that followed, Fang Ze settled here.
The shop was looked after by Meng Tianye and Fang Yuan. Meng Tianye built it, Fang Yuan looked after it, and a few Qingjiao Dao soldiers did the odd jobs.
After Fang Yuan showed off his power and used the handle of his knife to knock away several waves of gangsters who came to fight Qiu Feng and collect protection fees, the shop got on the right track.
Show enough strength, no matter how unhappy they are, there is nothing they can do about it.
Although they are rejected by the world, the way of heaven in our world has collapsed, and it is no longer possible to force the natives to shout and kill when they meet as if they are mortal enemies.
Fang Ze showed up occasionally every day, and spent most of his time practicing in the cave, studying all kinds of immortal arts, especially restraints and formations.
With the awakening of the chaotic spirit body, the innate aptitude and understanding have reached the seventh level. Contents that used to be difficult to understand are now clear at a glance, with a photographic memory, analogies, and inferences. In an instant, he has transformed from a scumbag to a master of learning.
In less than five days, I had already mastered the formation. I made a few gadgets to create a simple magic formation.
After a month, I finished reading the Basic Formation Chapter and barely became a Formation Master.
Then there was nothing more. I had borrowed the basic formations chapter before, but not the advanced formations. I could only use the existing knowledge of basic formations, use a backhand, and draw parallels to improve the cultivation of formations.
In the second month, he changed to a basic forbidden chapter.
"boom!"
The loud noise could be heard even on the third floor.
Fang Ze, who was reading in the attic on the third floor, was stunned for a moment. He quickly went down to the first floor and saw seven or eight big men standing at the door. The leader was a young man wearing a brocade robe. He was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. He looked at them sideways. Fang Ze opened his mouth and said:
"You must be the boss Fang Ze. I am Zhang Fa, the twelfth disciple of Master Cuixia. In one month, it will be the 210th birthday of Master Cuixia."
The man in brocade robes cupped his hands toward Cuixia Peak and said:
"As a disciple of Master, I want to find a worthy birthday gift. I heard that the flying swords forged by your family are of good quality. I would like to order a pair of top-quality flying swords here. I ask Boss Fang to prepare them within a month. good."
