Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Green Rainbow Sword (Congratulations to the Alliance Hierarch who Obtained Solitude)

Through Wan Fenglin’s narration, Fang Xing finally learned that the Great Wilderness was vast!

This place was just a part of the Wilderness, and thousands of years ago, many immortal cultivation sects came here to clear the wilds and laid the foundation for sects like the Qingxuan Sect and other major immortal cultivation sects.

The original Great Wilderness had thus become a paradise for cultivators.

Near Qinglin Square, however, was still undeveloped land, which the Qingxuan Sect continued to reclaim.

In those days, "Master Wanfa" was a widely renowned cultivator, famous for his exquisite and profound spells.

One must know that it usually takes a cultivator a long time to learn a single spell.

If it goes against the nature of their spirit root, it becomes even more troublesome, requiring a lot of effort, and the proficiency and power of the spell often won’t match that of spells aligned with their spirit root.

But Master Wanfa was gifted with astonishing talent; heralded as "Skilled in All Techniques," he not only mastered the Five Elements Magic but also Wind, Thunder, Ice, and other abnormal attribute skills, there was nothing he didn’t know, nothing he wasn’t proficient in.

It is said that any spell he looked at, he could perform, and any spell he learned, he mastered instantly. He was taken as a disciple by the "Wanfa Sect" of that time but, due to his low-rank spirit root, was hindered from advancing to become a true inheritor.

What transpired later is unknown, but he defected from the sect and proceeded through the cultivation stages of Foundation Establishment, Core Formation... even condensing a not merely top-grade True Core, but an Immortal Golden Core that was even more extraordinary, and upon his return, annihilated the entire Wanfa Sect!

Indeed, his strength was top-notch even among those of the Perfect Core Formation stage.

Later, he advanced to Perfect Core Formation and then mysteriously disappeared!

"At that time, people speculated that Master Wanfa must have gone to seek his Nascent Soul opportunity... Which Perfect Core Formation cultivator doesn’t dream of Nascent Soul Great Success, with a lifespan of a thousand years?"

Wan Fenglin concluded with a sigh, "Who would have thought that Master Wanfa would end up perishing in this secret realm... The Qingxuan Sect has come here with a large force, obviously coveting the inheritance and accumulation of the Wanfa Sect... even the secret of how Master Wanfa cultivated to Perfect Core Formation with an inferior five-elements spirit root!"

"Indeed, it’s very tempting... No wonder even the Real Core Formation cultivators from the Qingxuan Sect came."

Fang Xing stroked his chin, somewhat enlightened, "So many cultivators are reluctant to leave... They probably believe that the Core Formation sects from the Fertile Wilderness will definitely come back to fight? Maybe even soon?"

Cultivators had divided the Great Wilderness; the already reclaimed part was naturally the Fertile Wilderness, while the undeveloped part was the Wilderness.

Undoubtedly, the mountain gate of the Qingxuan Sect was located in the Fertile Wilderness, where the dangers were fewer.

While Qinglin Square was situated in the Wilderness, surrounded by ancient forests and rampant demon beasts... but the resources here were also the most abundant.

"That’s right, but even if those sects come later to slaughter, we can’t bear to part with this square and the spirit land..."

Wan Fenglin echoed, then looked at Fang Xing in a flattering manner.

Fang Xing smiled slightly and casually threw out a handful of low-grade spirit stones, walking away.

"Farewell, fellow Daoist!"

Behind him, Wan Fenglin bowed deeply, then greedily pounced to the ground to pick up the low-grade spirit stones.

Suddenly, he looked around like a thief, quickly rolled up his stall, and made a swift escape.

He had not gone far from the market when he was suddenly confronted by two people.

"You..."

Wan Fenglin paled with shock. Just as he began to speak, one person used a talisman while the other summoned a mid-grade magic sword flying sword, its blade emitting a chilling light as it struck at him.

Boom!

The talisman was a "Shaking God Talisman," causing Wan Fenglin to freeze for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, the flying sword was upon him.

His magic robe struggled to sparkle with light, attempting to form a protective shield.

But the patches were like black holes, beginning to devour spiritual power, flashing out a chaos of spiritual energy.

Pff!

Wan Fenglin’s head flew off, his expression full of disbelief.

"Heh heh... Thought he was some tough character, didn’t expect him to be so easily dealt with."

These two grand thieves laughed coldly, stepped forward to steal Wan Fenglin’s bag, money bag, and magic artifacts, and left triumphantly.

It has to be said that Wan Fenglin was unlucky.

As an alchemist, he was originally well-off, with no shortage of good items, and even more life-preserving ones.

However, after a disaster, not only did his cultivation plummet, but his assets were also depleted, to the point where he couldn’t afford to mend his torn magic robe, having to patch it himself, which resulted in poorly done patches that ultimately cost him his life!

’He’s dead, just like that?’

Not far away, on a rooftop, a yellow oriole watched the scene unfold and transmitted the image back onto Fang Xing’s glasses.

’It seems that this Grand Pill Master Wan lived quite a miserable life, a far cry from his sharpness in the valley duel...’

’Besides, this man has the surname Wan and is so familiar with Master Wanfa; I almost thought he was a descendant of Master Wanfa... Although Wanfa is a title, to use the title as a surname, to honor an ancestor’s glory, is normal too...’

Fang Xing expressionlessly cut off the surveillance.

He had deliberately given out so many spirit stones, showing them to others, specifically to set up a trap for Wan Fenglin.

Wan Fenglin had tricked him once, so now he had tricked him back in return, squaring their accounts.

...

The cave black market.

In front of an elixir stall.

Xiao Rui, seeing a large man in a black robe, Fang Xing, was so frightened that her little face turned pale, "This... this honored guest, may I know what kind of elixir you would like?"

"Do I look that frightening?"

Fang Xing was somewhat speechless; the moment he entered the black market today, he was greeted with a surrounding crowd, every cultivator he encountered treated him with utmost respect, it was almost as if they had issues.

"Our esteemed guest of course isn’t scary, but eradicating the Thirteen Grand Protectors of the World Alliance, that is quite terrifying... Esteemed guest... no, senior, could it be that you have already achieved Foundation Establishment?"

Seeing Fang Xing’s gentle demeanor, Xiao Rui grew a bit bolder and cautiously inquired.

"Not yet..."

Fang Xing shook his head and presented the box containing the ’Whale-Elephant Ointment’: "Do you have this item, or a substitute for this type of body refining spirit ointment?"

Xiao Rui carefully took it and produced a spirit talisman.

Seeing Fang Xing’s gaze, she explained, "This is a ’Medicine Recognition Talisman’, capable of identifying the properties of medicine..."

’Let’s see... this is way more professional than that old man Wan...’ He scorned in his heart but then listened to Xiao Rui say, "This ointment is refined from the blood essence of a Second Rank demon beast; as for the spiritual medicines used in it, my knowledge is insufficient, I can’t identify them..."

If it were an ordinary customer, she would have stopped there.

However, looking at Fang Xing and recalling previous instructions from above, Xiao Rui said, "However, our owner might know more..."

"Your owner?"

Fang Xing was interested, "Oh? So your Green Pill Workshop might provide this type of ointment, or a similar elixir?"

"It should be possible, our humble workshop has long heard of the great name of Daoist friend, and the owner would very much like to meet the esteemed guest," Xiao Rui said.

"Alright, you choose the time, I choose the place."

Fang Xing’s voice was rough.

He had his drones which could scout the area in advance, ensuring safety.

After arranging a way to contact Xiao Rui, he moved on to the stall of the Fire Refining Workshop.

The old man who ran the stall was the same as before.

Upon seeing Fang Xing, he took the initiative to get up and give a bow, "Mr. Long had seen the Daoist friend bring forward the magic artifacts of the Black Absolute Tiger and Zhou Tong, and thus knew the friend was not an ordinary figure, your recent deeds are truly great..."

’It seems my action against the World Alliance was right, now even cultivators at the Perfect Qi Cultivation Stage have to treat me with respect...’ Fang Xing inwardly chuckled, his appearance revealing nothing, "I am actually always good-natured with people, it’s just that Luo Hong was unrelenting..."

While speaking, he took out the Jade Spring Flying Sword and some other low-grade magic artifacts.

The old man with surname Long had eyelids that twitched at the sight.

He acknowledged that even if he himself were surrounded by the Thirteen Grand Protectors of the World Alliance, he likely wouldn’t fare much better.

With this thought, his gaze towards Fang Xing carried even more flattery.

"These magic artifacts, totaling 1,300 spirit stones, what does Daoist friend think?"

"That’s acceptable."

Fang Xing nodded in agreement, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Do you have swords or blades over three feet here, made from the finest and most tenacious materials?"

Blood Refining Magical Artifacts, for him, actually weren’t of much use anymore.

They were barely stronger than low-grade magic artifacts and gradually couldn’t keep up with Fang Xing’s progress.

He now wanted a sharper and more resilient sword or long blade.

So that he didn’t have to hold back whenever he encountered top-grade magic artifacts and wouldn’t dare to clash head-on.

Otherwise, no matter how formidable his swordsmanship or blade skills were, if his weapon broke after a few clashes, he’d be left fighting bare-handed, which could be quite awkward in battle...

’If it comes down to it, I’ll have to buy an alloy blade from the Blue Star Federation... The Federation doesn’t regulate those, but they are costly, very costly! The higher the martial artist’s ranking, the more expensive the suitable weapons!’

’But if I do it in plain sight, I don’t have enough money, and going to the black market now is a bit dangerous...’

Fang Xing didn’t forget his fishing plan; he definitely needed to stay away from the black market as much as possible to avoid being an unintentional victim.

"Want a sword or blade over three feet? For a flying dagger or flying sword, that would be too long, wouldn’t it..."

The old man with surname Long showed a hint of difficulty on his face, then seemingly thought of something; his eyes lit up, "Not sure what other requirements the friend might have... Do you want a Second Rank Spiritual Artifact?"

"A Second Rank Spiritual Artifact?"

Fang Xing was taken aback.

Qi Cultivators could only use First Rank magic artifacts; Second Rank Spiritual Artifacts were almost exclusive to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

As for Third Rank Magic Treasures? Even for those who have formed their Golden Cores, they are extremely precious.

However, he quickly regained his composure, "That’s acceptable... Do you actually have Second Rank Spiritual Artifacts for sale here?"

"There are some... You will understand when you see it."

The old man, evidently having a Storage bag, slid his hand around his waist, and a blade of pure jade appeared, its light like a pool of clear water.

"This..."

Fang Xing took it and felt the blade’s unparalleled sharpness. Even now, when he held the hilt, he could sense the intense chill.

"This is a Second Rank low-grade Spiritual Artifact — the ’Green Rainbow Sword’! Forged from Second Rank Evergreen Wood... This Evergreen Wood is a kind of special spirit plant, ten years of growth makes it First Rank, a hundred years for it to become Second Rank low-grade, and if nurtured for nine hundred more years, after a thousand years, it will become Quasi Third Rank Spirit Plant..."

The old man with surname Long sighed wistfully, "This sword originally belonged to an Elder of the Foundation Establishment Stage from our Qingxuan Sect, who encountered a Third Rank Great Demon. The demon spewed a burst of poison, completely corroding the Elder, leaving nothing of his body, and the Green Rainbow Sword was tarnished, losing its spiritual luster, and its internal arrays were all destroyed, turning it into a scrap sword... picked up by myself."

With such a degree of damage, even if he went outside and found a Second Rank Artifact Refiner, it would be beyond repair.

Not to mention, in Qinglin Square, there aren’t any Second Rank Artifact Refiners at all!
