Chapter 136 Yu Xiang'er
Inside the Ice Palace.
"I am Green Water, and I thank you for saving my life, fellow Daoist."
Green Water Hermit was a beautiful woman in a green dress, with an elegant demeanor and refined speech.
Behind her stood several disciples, including Lu Lingfeng and Zhan Hongxiu.
"Judging from your appearance, fellow Daoist, your spirit is intact and your energy is abundant; your injuries should be healed."
Fang Qing ordered fragrant tea to be served and responded with a smile.
These rogue cultivators are good at building connections and won't miss any opportunity to curry favor, let alone a master alchemist like him.
As for whether this woman will retrieve the treasure for her disciple?
If their eyelids are really that shallow, then we might as well kill them...
However, Fang Qing is more inclined to believe that Zhan Hongxiu even kept it a secret from her own master, who neither knew that she possessed a talisman treasure nor knew the price she had paid to obtain the elixir.
"I also owe a lot to the 'Mysterious Soul Replenishing Pill' refined by you, fellow Daoist... I had long heard that Island Master Fang's alchemy skills were among the best in the Azure Sea Immortal Sect, and seeing it today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved."
Green Water Hermit was all smiles and laughter, with a slightly ingratiating air.
Unlike Zhan Hongxiu, a mere cultivator with limited knowledge of the true nature of things, she didn't think Fang Qing had been exiled.
This woman had several close friends at the Foundation Establishment level, and she knew that Fang Qing, while not exactly a powerful figure in the Azure Sea Sect, had considerable connections and was not someone to be easily offended.
What's more, the other party had also done her a favor.
Upon seeing this scene, Lu Lingfeng secretly praised, "Is this what it means to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator from a major sect? Even my master has to lower himself to curry favor... If I can gain this person's favor, I'll have a lot of face in front of my master in the future."
His smile immediately became even more solicitous, leaving Fang Qing completely baffled.
"This guy surnamed Lu, although he doesn't know that I killed three of his Foundation Establishment ancestors... is still being far too obsequious."
Bei Lingxu and Xiang Dahu accompanied her for a few more minutes, then exchanged a glance: "This female cultivator... wants the island lord to join the Three Talents Market, and is willing to offer a 10% stake in secret."
Bei Lingshu's heart stirred: "This woman is quite clever. She's using this matter of seeking pills to build a relationship... and she's giving her a secret share, so there's no open interaction and she won't attract the hostility of the Sea Extinction Alliance... It's a clever scheme. With the island lord stationed here, he can gain a lot of benefits for nothing. It's a win-win situation..." Unexpectedly, Fang Qing politely declined the proposal after hearing a few words.
He earns a fortune every day and doesn't care about these trivial matters at all.
Moreover, if he wanted spiritual objects, wouldn't it be faster to just go to Xituo County and extort them or do business without any investment?
This paltry gain was no longer of any interest to him.
After seeing off Green Water Hermit and his group, Fang Qing pondered again, "Hmm, it shouldn't be related to the Three Talents Market..."
He had a sudden, inexplicable urge to believe that there was more to the story of Zhan Hongxiu seeking the elixir.
But at this point, it seems that it's not Green Water Hermit's side.
"Island Owner..."
At this moment, Bei Lingshu stepped forward with a stack of visiting cards and said with a smile, "The cultivators nearby did not dare to disturb the island lord because he was focused on his cultivation. Now that the island lord has come out of seclusion and is even refining pills for outsiders, they have all sent visiting cards. They must be here to ask for pills."
Even independent cultivators and Foundation Establishment families aren't stupid; they know the difference between a sect alchemist and a wild fox Zen practitioner.

Now that we've finally met a master alchemist, we naturally want to cultivate a good relationship with him, just in case.
"I still need to cultivate, where would I find the time to refine pills for them? Water-based pill refining can take months or even years... It's no joke! I've turned them all down!" Fang Qing waved his hand. If someone could offer Zhan Hongxiu's price, he wouldn't mind lending a hand.
Unfortunately, such a good thing is a once-in-a-century occurrence.
"yes!"
Watching Bei Lingxu's disappearing light, Fang Qing suddenly felt a stirring in his heart: "That's it... the so-called aftermath of alchemy might not be the Three Yuan Island, but rather the fact that my alchemy skills are almost on par with the Heavenly Cauldron... naturally it will attract a lot of covetousness, such as... the cultivators of the Extinction Sea Alliance?!" After all, the Extinction Sea Alliance has a shallow foundation, and that Black Yuan True Person is skilled in formations but knows nothing about alchemy, and there are not many famous second-level alchemists on Heavenly Heart Island.
"The establishment of a power, the cultivation of its foundation... is not something that can be done overnight."
"If there's any trouble, it's likely from here."
Several months later, a dark streak of light took advantage of the night and arrived near Taibai Island, gazing at the snow-covered landscape.
"This is Taibai Island? Although its spiritual energy is somewhat diminished, it is still a fine place for cultivation."
A pleasant female voice rang out: "It's a pity... Fang Qing only helped someone refine pills once before going into seclusion, and he didn't even accept my invitation..." "This person's pill-refining skills are almost on par with Tian Ding's. Considering his age, his talent in alchemy far surpasses Tian Ding's. If we could bring him to Tianxin Island, he would surely gain the master's favor..."
She smiled sweetly, gazing in the direction of Taibai Island.
As for whether the Foundation Establishment alchemist would be imprisoned or have his soul restricted by his master after arriving at Tianxin Island, there's no need to mention that.
Since there's a master alchemist refining pills day and night, her cultivation will be faster, and she won't need to go around seeking breakthrough pills.
"It's just that this island is isolated, and there aren't many disciples..."
The woman secretly felt a little regretful. If Taibai Island had opened its gates wide to cultivators from all directions for alchemy, she could have easily sneaked in.
I've heard that the island lord isn't very talented, currently only a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. With her methods, she should be able to take him down easily. "Now, how can I sneak in and take him away without anyone noticing?"
She murmured to herself.
"Oh? I heard you were looking for me?"
Suddenly, a young man's voice rang out from the side.
The woman was startled to see a young man in a blue shirt suddenly appear just a few feet away from her!
"It seems... you're the loose end in my alchemy."

Fang Qing put down the "Heaven-Covering Curtain" in his hand, looked at the late Foundation Establishment stage female demon cultivator in front of him, and slowly spoke.
After the test, he was quite satisfied with the item; at least, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator's divine sense could not detect any trace of it.
"You're from the Sea Destroyer Alliance, right? You seem to practice the Maiden Spell?"
Fang Qing gazed at the female cultivator ahead and saw that she was scantily clad and incredibly alluring. He couldn't help but secretly praise her: "This is a true enchantress, much better than the witch of the Joyful Union Sect... She can soothe my heart."
"Indeed, this humble servant is Yu Xiang'er, greetings to the Lord of Taibai Island."
Yu Xiang'er lifted her cloak, revealing a large expanse of alluring skin. Her features were exquisite, and her face was full of smiles: "Why doesn't the Island Lord abandon the darkness and embrace the light?"
"Yes, that's the taste..."
Fang Qing was overjoyed, but seemed completely unaffected by the seductive arts: "This woman is quite good; she can be used as a spy to infiltrate Tianxin Island... Hmm, I can also try my hand at her while I'm at it."
He now has nine ways to win this woman over in an instant!
However, I am still prepared to engage in a battle of wits and try to explore the mysteries of my own Dao foundation.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Qing's magical power had quietly transformed into [Female Earth].
The "White Bone Temple" Dao Foundation was activated, making his mind exceptionally clear. Looking at Yu Xiang'er was like looking at a beautiful but withered skeleton.
A chilling wind blew all around, and black soil accumulated.
"this……"
Yu Xiang'er was taken aback: "Isn't this person a cultivator of the Azure Sea Technique? How come his magical power seems inexplicably more demonic than ours in the demonic path?"
She patted the storage bag, and several streaks of dark light appeared, revealing several pitch-black jade bottles.
After the bottle was opened, dozens of ghostly spirits appeared.
Another set of coffins were taken out, and several bronze-armored corpses jumped out, riding on their corpse energy, and pounced on Fang Qing.
"As expected, he possesses demonic powers."
Fang Qing made a comparison in his mind. This woman's cultivation was much deeper than Lu Qianfan's, and she also possessed a set of demonic magic. In terms of combat strength, she was quite good among those in the late Foundation Establishment stage.
"But... you're using a ghostly corpse to capture me?"
He smiled gently, and the black soil continued to accumulate, turning into a tomb.
Those reanimated corpses actually burrowed directly into the tomb, turning into arched mounds.
Many more spirits are like this, gathering in the black soil and disappearing without a trace.
"this……"
Yu Xiang'er had just taken out a high-grade spiritual artifact shaped like a black umbrella when she saw this scene and was stunned.
Apart from his cultivation level being the same as the intelligence report, which was the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, everything else about Fang Qing was completely different!
"hateful!"
She made a hand seal, and a black umbrella floated above her head, casting a dark, hazy glow that protected her entire body.
At the same time, the umbrella ribs opened, and countless black needles appeared, flying towards Fang Qing.
This "Heavenly Net Umbrella," a top-grade spiritual artifact, is her most prized possession, combining offense and defense.
Not only can it protect the body, but it also contains eighty-one "Black Mystic Needles" hidden in the umbrella ribs and handle!
This needle is specifically designed to pierce all kinds of protective shields, even mid-grade spiritual artifact shields, and it is also incredibly stealthy, capable of flying without leaving a trace. It can be said that countless Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Little Universe tremble at the mere mention of this "Heavenly Net Umbrella."
Whoosh!
Dozens of black Xuan Divine Needles thrust forward, while several others, hidden in the darkness, circled around and attacked Fang Qing from behind.
Even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would be extremely flustered and confused when faced with this technique.
However, Fang Qing instantly transformed into the power of [Ji Shui] and activated the Dao foundation of "Wei Lin Feng".
Whoosh!
He flashed, seemingly merging into the wind, and vanished in an instant.
"Such fast movement! No... is it Wind Release technique?!"
When Yu Xiang'er saw that all of her high-grade spiritual artifact flying needles missed their mark, she was taken aback. With her keen eye, she naturally recognized the three great escape techniques of the cultivation world and knew in her heart that she probably wouldn't be able to defeat this person today.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind suddenly rose, and Fang Qing had appeared beside Yu Xiang'er without anyone noticing, a three-foot-long sword now in his hand!
This sword has a bright silver blade with starlight-like glints; it is none other than "Kill the Wolf"!
With the "Sharp Edge Chapter" empowered, Fang Qing thrust out his sword, striking the surface of the Heavenly Net Umbrella squarely!
"Swords used by sword cultivators come in many forms... those without hilts, which move freely and swiftly, are flying swords."
"And what is held in hand, used to defeat enemies through movement and sword techniques, is the 'Dharma Sword'!"
"The flying sword, once transformed, possesses both exquisite form and substance, and can be freely transformed."
Fang Qing moved with the sword, and Sha Po Lang flicked it lightly.
Unaccustomed to this fighting style, Yu Xiang'er's face paled. A small gap appeared on the surface of her Heavenly Net Umbrella, and she was then sent flying by a sword. Amidst the starry sky, sword energy, like smoke and mist, pierced through Yu Xiang'er's protective shield and pinned down a second-tier talisman.
fast!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye; Fang Qing had already moved in close, almost face to face with Yu Xiang'er.
Two golden lights appeared in his eyes, like the rising sun, instantly raising the temperature around him and burning everything.
A hand had somehow already been placed on Yu Xiang'er's crown...
