Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 460 Celebration

He accepted the explanation.

Sifang Chamber of Commerce

One by one, Dao Foundation cultivators arrived on the wind, and they saw a scene of brightly lit lanterns and colorful decorations, with all the members of the various chambers of commerce beaming with joy.

They were filled with jealousy and resentment, but they had to put on the most enthusiastic smiles.

Those who knew how powerful the Purple Mansion True Person was dared not even complain in their hearts, and instead offered their most precious gifts.

"The Bai family presents a 'Gathering Yuanwu King' as a congratulatory gift to True Person Yan Yuanzi."

The Canghai Sect offered four bottles of "Ginseng Essence Elixir" and one portion of "Yin Essence Treasure Medicine" to congratulate the True Person...

Fang Daoling arrived riding the waves. Upon seeing this scene, his eyes twitched slightly, and he handed the gift list to the Chamber of Commerce's master of ceremonies.

The master of ceremonies took the item and glanced at it, his voice immediately rising a notch: "Qingli Fang Clan, to congratulate the True Person, presents one 'Bathing in the Wind and Snow' gift and ten bottles of 'Qianjing Pills'..."

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd as many cultivators exclaimed, "The Fang family truly lives up to its reputation as a powerful force in the Purple Mansion; their generosity is truly astounding... even surpassing that of the Bai family."

"Does my Fang family even qualify as a Purple Mansion sect?" Fang Daoling thought bitterly. He had practically emptied his coffers to give gifts, primarily because he did have a good relationship with Xu Hei. In this treacherous world of cultivation, having a friendship that had lasted for over a hundred years was truly not easy.

The second reason is that their own leader is suspected of having died, so naturally they need to cling to a powerful figure.

After all, it's unlikely that ordinary Dao Foundation forces wouldn't know about Wuchenzi's news, but it's also unlikely that a Purple Mansion True Person backed by a powerful force wouldn't know.

At that moment, a flash of blue light appeared on the western horizon, accompanied by the fragrance of medicine. Petals of crystal fell, creating a dazzling display of colors.

A rainbow bridge appeared, and the Medicine King, the Blue Tara, gracefully descended it.

A beam of earthen-yellow light shone from within the Four Directions Chamber of Commerce, transforming into a majestic seven-foot-tall man, none other than Xu Hei: "Tara herself has come, the Four Directions Chamber of Commerce is honored..."

"Our White Bone Path governs Xituo County, a place truly blessed with outstanding individuals and abundant resources, where true masters frequently emerge..."

"On behalf of Wusheng Temple, Medicine King Qingjin congratulates fellow Daoists... and specially presents a vast area of ​​over a hundred li."

"The Medicine King, Qing Du Mu, said with a smile."

"Haha, please come inside and have some tea, fellow Daoist."

Xu Hei invited the Medicine King Qing Dumu into the room and placed her on the seat of honor.

As for someone like Fang Daoling, he could only sit in the second seat. However, his cultivation level was considered high among the thousand cultivators, and he was also a representative of the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan, so his position was second only to the Bai family and the White Bone Path.

But as he glanced around, he saw a Bai family cultivator smilingly offering him a toast. He immediately raised his cup in thanks, but his heart felt empty: "Does the Bai family know something?"

Just as he was pondering this, the emcee's loud voice rang out again: "The Nine-Tailed Clan of Falling Phoenix Mountain presents this [Zhenshui] spiritual item to congratulate the True Person..."

"The demon race? The Nine-Tailed Clan?" The cultivators present were all shocked: "This Old Xu is indeed a businessman with a wide circle of friends; he even has connections among the demon race?"

They looked closely and saw a demon general dressed like an old country scholar, toying with a skull in his hand, greeting Xu Hei with a smile: "Old Xu, I, Anzhuzi, knew you were no ordinary person, but I never expected you to have acquired supernatural powers..."

"Haha, it's all a matter of chance, a stroke of luck..."

Xu hacked a few words in anger.

Although he had served as a disciple for a long time and was considered a powerful warrior in the Purple Mansion realm, it was not advisable to publicize it.

Now that I have advanced to the Purple Mansion and gained supernatural powers, I can openly and legitimately announce this to the world.

Of course, the most crucial thing is his supernatural power, which is enough to make Fang Qing descend and kill the Buddha's disciple!

In today's world, that's considered top-notch.

After all, since the "Kui Zang Xian Qing Zhenjun" failed to break through to the Golden Core Perfection stage, most of the Golden Core Zhenjuns have gone into seclusion and rarely make a move. Even their envoys and attendants rarely show themselves.

Perfect timing! The task assigned by the young master should be placed on this old fox.

Xu Hei greeted the guests one by one, and after the grand banquet at his Purple Mansion was held in a lively manner, he saw off most of the guests, but there were still a few left.

When Fang Daoling saw the Medicine King Qing Dumu, hesitantly stepped forward and tried to strike up a conversation.

Unfortunately, after only a few words, the Medicine King Qing Dumu entered the void and disappeared.

"Fellow Daoist Anzhuzi..." Xu Hei had climbed his way up from the bottom of the cultivation world, and even now that he had reached the Purple Mansion realm, he still treated Anzhuzi as an equal.

Anzhuzi chuckled, his beard twitching, then straightened his clothes and took out an invitation from his robes, handing it to Xu Hei: "I have come here today for another important matter... A demon king of my demon race's 'Nine-Tailed Clan' will be seeking gold soon, and I cordially invite you, fellow Daoist, to come and observe..."

"The Nine-Tailed Fox? Could it be...?"

Xu Hei accepted the invitation and looked at the dimly lit candle with some surprise.

"Indeed, that great demon is of my own kind, and he cultivates the [Heart Moon] technique..."

Anzhuzi said with pride, "It is also thanks to the Empress's favor that I finally have hope of obtaining gold."

【Heart Moon】...The fox clan...is actually of the Taiyin lineage, truly rare.

Xu Hei praised repeatedly, but a glint of light appeared in his eyes.

Clearly, Fang Qing had unknowingly taken over the ship.

"Interesting. The fox clan is proving Taiyin? This is obviously a scheme by the demon clan that I reminded them of last time? Testing the [Heart Moon]'s golden position? If the one on [Dangerous Moon] wants to prove Taiyin's [Yearly], there are golden positions in the four phases of the moon that need to be occupied. The demon clan had Suwu prove [Bi Moon] last time, so they know the state of this golden position very well."

Next up is [Heart Moon].

Whether or not the fox clan's great demon with a perfected Purple Mansion can achieve it is not important; what is important is the process of "seeking gold."

As long as they can attract the attention of the [Heart Moon] Golden Position and reveal themselves to the world for a moment, the demon race, which is entangled with Taiyin, will naturally be able to see clearly whether there are people on it and how many people are sitting there.

When the Taiyin (Moon) is in charge of the year, it requires that the moon phases be in the metal position for four consecutive days. If two metal positions can be confirmed, then the person on the Weiyue (Dangerous Moon) is at most at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and is not worth worrying about.

Upon hearing this news, Fang Qing immediately knew that Sangji's tip-off had worked.

The one who made the move this time was the Great Sage from Luofeng Mountain!

Having Anzhuzi invite him carries a sense of "witnessing together".

"Thank you for the invitation, old friend. I will certainly go!" Fang Qing solemnly agreed.

"Great!" Dark Candlestick laughed so hard his eyebrows disappeared, then looked around and said, "I didn't get enough of the roast chicken at today's banquet, let's have a few more plates..."

"Haha, I'll order someone to prepare right away."

Fang Qing smiled and said, "I've heard that you're in charge of the library. I'm now a Purple Mansion True Person, but I'm quite interested in some lost lineages, such as the [Xunfeng], swordsmanship, [Xuanlei], and [Witchcraft]... I wonder if any of these still exist on Falling Phoenix Mountain?"

"If you want the [Xunfeng] lineage, shouldn't you ask the secret treasury?" Anzhuzi said, "That Great Roc King is right there on the Golden Summit of Tianxue Mountain..."

"As for swordsmanship? It rarely appears in the world... and there's no systematic inheritance. And what about [Mystic Thunder]?"

Anzhuzi said, "The lack of thunder in this world is at least a remnant of the ancient times. If we want to find anything related to [Mysterious Thunder], we need at least the inheritance from that ancient era. Back then, [Yearly Deities] were rampant, and even Golden Core cultivators lived in constant fear. I'm afraid there aren't many left. We still need to look for ancient grotto-heavens and ruins..."

"This old fox is indeed worthy of being the librarian. Even when talking about ancient and primordial history, he can recount it in detail, as if he knows it like the back of his hand."

"That's true." Fang Qing naturally had Sangji go through the various Sanskrit scriptures in the Secret Realm, and in the end, they could only trace it back to the early ancient times.

As for anything related to [Mysterious Thunder]? There isn't a single one. You might as well search for it in the Primordial Heaven of the Qi Refining Path.

"I still need to ask you to look for it, just in case." Fang Qing wasn't entrusting it to the old fox, but to the entire demon race.

After sending Anzhuzi away and ordering people to bring various chicken dishes for the old fox to enjoy, Fang Qing met Fang Daoling again.

This person, having waited until now, appeared rather timid and hesitant.

"Is this because they realized Fang Wuchen was dying, and that Medicine King Qing had already become a monk, and they were afraid the Fang family would be wiped out?"

"Is this someone trying to curry favor with me?" Fang Qing thought to himself with a smile.

After registering Xu Hei's account, I was able to see quite a few interesting things.

He didn't take it seriously and ordered someone to bring Fang Daoling to him.

Fang Daoling felt uneasy, as the figure before her seemed increasingly imposing. Knowing that Xu Hei had previously been unremarkable in appearance and short in stature, her current appearance was perhaps a sign of severing ties with the past, which only intensified her unease.

"Alas, outsiders praise my family, saying that we have two members with the Purple Mansion, but in reality, the Medicine King Qing is no match for my mother and has no dealings with my family at all. Even my great-uncle can't do anything about her, and as for my great-uncle, there's no need to say anything more."

He sighed inwardly, and seeing Xu Hei standing before him, he immediately cut off his distracting thoughts and bowed deeply: "Greetings, Master!"

"Get up, Fellow Daoist Wuchenzi, how have you been lately?" Fang Qing asked knowingly.

"My great-uncle is doing well. He was traveling far away and hasn't written to me for quite some time."

Fang Daoling pondered for a moment, uttering each word carefully, before giving his answer, his voice tinged with unease.

Why did this person ask about his great-uncle's situation as soon as they met?

"Haha, my dear nephew, let me teach you another trick. Don't try to hide it from a Purple Mansion True Person. If I didn't know about Wuchenzi's situation before, seeing you now, everything is as clear as day."

Fang Qing laughed heartily, causing Fang Daoling's heart to sink even further. He then knelt down, pleading, "Please, Master, save my family!"

"Your home? What can be done to save you? Although Fellow Daoist Wuchenzi has not shown his face for a long time and Medicine King Qing Dumu has severed all emotions, they are still just tiger skins. As long as they don't fall into the hands of a True Person, a hundred miles is not enough for them to roam freely." Fang Qing gave a hint.

Fang Daoling was ultimately not a Purple Mansion True Person, had never been in the circle of Purple Mansion True Persons, and was unaware of the mutual distrust between them.

As long as there is no definite news of Fang Wuchen's demise, the Fang family will at least not be wiped out.

Moreover, they also had to consider the face of the Medicine King Qing Dumu standing nearby.

Although most of the Tara beings in the secret teachings do not care about kinship, there may be one or two with extraordinary abilities.

As a person of noble birth, one must consider all possibilities in order to devise a flawless plan.
