Star Sky Professional-Chapter 667 - 565 Cloud Coming Square

"That’s not really... but I believe, like a good wine that doesn’t fear a deep alley, as long as it’s a good thing, it will surely attract people."

Fang Xing said lightly.

"Hmm, that’s reasonable."

Old Luo took another sip of Monkey Wine: "Coincidentally, I have a battle tomorrow, I can prepare three to five backup pieces... Little brother, where will you set up your stall in the future?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be at Cloud Coming Square."

Fang Xing thought for a moment and answered.

"That would be great."

Old Luo nodded and offered five pieces of talismanic money.

With the first earnings, later on, several buyers came one after another.

By dusk, Fang Xing counted his money and found thirty-seven talismanic coins, nodded, packed up the stall, and started shopping.

He came to Cloud Coming Square after having already clarified many situations in advance.

This square market was jointly built by several Dao Foundation families nearby, and the order is maintained by family disciples, and it’s somewhat safe.

Besides, the goods are quite comprehensive.

Fang Xing entered a bookstore, which had a fixed shop, and the credibility was a bit better.

"Guest, what kind of books would you like to purchase?"

A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar approached.

"The spell of ’Green Wood Skill’, and ’Great Zhou Geographical Chronicles’..."

Fang Xing glanced at the bookshelf and gave the answer.

"The spell of Green Wood Skill, a common Wood Attribute Cultivation Method, detailed from level one to nine... priced at twenty talismanic coins."

"’Great Zhou Geographical Chronicles’, divided into detailed version and concise version, I can extend the concise version as a deal bonus, while the detailed version requires ten talismanic coins."

The middle-aged scholar smiled.

"I’ll take the detailed version..."

Fang Xing raised his hand and tossed thirty talismanic coins.

He already knew that beginner cultivation techniques in the cultivation world were fairly cheap, comparing them, he realized how much the previous stall holder overcharged him.

Unfortunately, it was purely a seller’s market at the time, completely unavoidable.

"Yes, please wait a moment, I will fetch the books."

The middle-aged scholar retreated to the counter, reminding, "Our store’s genuine goods are usually kept hidden, those out on display are either a few pages or contain hidden traps and errors... Guests who are bored might casually browse."

Fang Xing: "..."

...

A moment later, the middle-aged man returned with a tray: "Both the Green Wood Skill and the detailed version of ’Great Zhou Geographical Chronicles’ are here... Additionally, Green Wood Skill is the beginner technique of Qingmu Ridge, if you use this skill to forge a Dao Foundation, you must still join the sect for further techniques."

He reminded, "This is also a method for great sects to select disciples."

"So, that’s how it is."

Fang Xing nodded, no wonder the techniques were so cheap, there were indeed many pitfalls.

But he also checked into Qingmu Ridge, knowing it’s a righteous sect, and their conduct is better than Blood Shadow Sect.

Furthermore, most techniques available in the market are like this, nothing much to choose from.

Compared to the several volumes of ’Great Zhou Geographical Chronicles’, the secret book containing the Green Wood Skill mnemonic was merely a thin volume.

He first opened the first page, compared it with what he had obtained, and nodded quietly.

Then, he flipped to the lower realm levels.

"In this world, cultivators at the initial stage of cultivation can be divided into two major stages: ’nine levels of Qi Sensing and three grades of Dao Foundation’..."

"Most loose cultivators are at the Qi Sensing Realm, those who enter the Dao Foundation Realm are small giants, capable of establishing small sects and families, even protecting markets..."

"Nine levels of Qi Sensing... Qi Sensing, Qi Refinement, Qi Transformation, Qi Gathering, Qi Unification, Qi Cultivation, Evil Qi, Gang Qi, Primordial Qi, the first three levels focus on ’refining and sensing’, the middle three are ’condensing’, the last three enhance True Qi quality... In the end, it is ’one breath of Primordial Qi, that establishes my supreme foundation’... using ’Primordial Qi’ to forge a Dao Foundation?"

"It can be said, every step in the nine levels of Qi Sensing determines the future quality of the Dao Foundation... And what the major sects occupy are not Spirit Veins, but a mouthful of suitable ’Sha Xue’ for their Qi Refinement..."

Fang Xing even suspected the Blood Shadow Sect has some secret technique using corpses to fill and enhance Sha Xue quality, otherwise, it’s inexplicable why they abuse paper slaves to the point of death.

’For me, the best cultivation ground is naturally a place rich in Plant Essence Qi... it’s a matter of planting more trees around the residence.’

Fang Xing briefly flipped through Green Wood Skill, confirmed no errors or omissions, then lightly browsed ’Great Zhou Geographical Chronicles’.

Actually, the Outer World theoretically belongs to the Great Zhou territory as well.

Thus, ’Great Zhou Geographical Chronicles’ includes general maps and introductions to various forces of the Outer World.

Fang Xing bought this book, naturally for planning a future place of residence.

Even if the Outer World is not ideal, he considers sneaking back to the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty as a possibility.

This confidence comes from the never-before-seen Wilderness Transformation brought to this world.

Perfect transformation into a common animal, presumably passing through ’Three Extremes Pass’ shouldn’t be a problem— if the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty is really that good, Fang Xing wouldn’t mind relocating there.

He turned to the introduction of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, his expression slightly changed:

"The Great Zhou Divine Dynasty was established by the divine descendants and has lasted for over five thousand years..."

"In this dynasty, incense offerings are prevalent, with household spirits, land gods, and city gods forming the backbone of the legal system, and temple priests, shamans, and ghost soldiers serving as its wings and claws... It is decreed that private cultivation is forbidden; any cultivator must register with the government and perform mandatory service... Loose cultivators and those practicing unauthorized cultivation are deemed serious offenders and killed without mercy."

"It seems to have a hint of the dynastic style, no wonder it’s called the Divine Dynasty..."

"But I can be sure that this kind of meticulous legal system utterly detests those who gain power on their own accord... No wonder both the righteous and the evil are driven to the Outer World."

"If I were an ordinary person, life in the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty would be decent, at least a high baseline... but if I wish to live freely and cultivate immortality, it’s out of the question."

Fang Xing shook his head silently, dismissing a certain original plan.

To completely avoid the troubles from the Blood Shadow Sect, going to the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty would be best. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

However, even if that’s not possible, it’s no big deal.

At most, it would be only losing a mortal slave, and even if that slave kills a few more slaves, it doesn’t really matter.

Fang Xing estimated the Blood Shadow Sect’s level of attention towards him was roughly on par with the steward disciples of the Paper Slave Valley.

It was still far below the level of being wanted by a major force.

In this case, as long as the distance is great enough, there’s actually no need to worry, not even needing to change the name ’Fang Xing’!

After all, there are too many people in the world with the same name.

And by the time he becomes famous, it will definitely be years or decades later, and perhaps the steward disciples who know about this would have died of old age...

...

After leaving the bookstore, Fang Xing strolled through the workshop again.

As a Druid, he naturally had a great interest in various spirit plants, but there were very few in the workshop.

In the end, he only bought some seeds like mulberry and hemp, planning to plant trees himself when he returned.

Preparing to peel, pulp... and make ’blood paper’ in the future.

Uh, the process of making blood paper might also require the Blood Shadow Sect’s secret technique, but at least making paper similar in quality to talismanic money shouldn’t be too difficult.

This is in preparation for practicing the secret technique of paper making in the future.

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

As for actually practicing cultivation?

Without fully realizing the talent of the Immortal Body, Fang Xing dared not exert too much effort.

At most, occasionally practicing the ’All-Complete Hand’ as a preparation for paper folding in the future.

...

At night.

Fang Xing left the Cloud Coming Square and returned to nature, feeling particularly at ease.

The journey was very peaceful, with no robbery attempts, which dashed his hopes of multiplying his profits several times over.

’Indeed... it’s just a transaction worth a few dozen talismanic money.’

’If even such a small transaction were robbed, then there would be no need for Cloud Coming Square to continue... Those Dao Foundation families behind the scenes might as well just live on air from the northwest...’

He arrived at a cave for a short rest, silently lit the oil lamp, and began to read by its light.

First, he memorized the mnemonic for the ’Green Wood Skill,’ ensuring he knew it by heart.

Then he read the "Annals of the Great Zhou," focusing on the parts about the Outer World.

"From the map, the Outer World is in the southwest of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, occupying only a corner..."

"In the Outer World, various forces are mixed in chaos, led by the ten major sects of righteousness and evil..."

"The Cloud Coming Square where I am now is in the northeast of the Outer World, already relatively close to the Three Extremes Pass and the territory of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty..."

"Similarly, the ’Feijian Sect,’ closest to the Three Extremes Pass, is considered the most powerful sect among the ten major sects, but finds it difficult to use all its power inwardly... According to the alliance, the other nine sects must also contribute people and resources, assisting the Feijian Sect in confronting the Three Extremes Pass... Once something happens, they must come to aid with all their might!"

"The Corpse Chasing Sect and Qingmu Ridge that remain, have slightly less power..."

"According to my original plan, if I can’t enter the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, maybe I should consider seeking shelter under a force?"

"Between these two options, I naturally lean towards Qingmu Ridge..."

However, Fang Xing was still somewhat averse to becoming an official disciple of Qingmu Ridge.

After all, his Druid cultivation requires close contact with nature, and some actions may appear quite strange to outsiders.

"Or should I just enter the sphere of influence of Qingmu Ridge and become a loose cultivator? Or affiliate with a subordinate force of Qingmu Ridge?"

Fang Xing had little craving for cultivation resources.

The most crucial Plant Essence Qi he could solve by planting trees himself.

Aside from that, it’s about the cultivation method after reaching the Dao Foundation Realm.

Plotting from now is not an urgent matter.

Even if he relies entirely on the Druid path of nature, without any support from this world’s cultivation system, he can still become a top master!

This is the confidence that comes with holding the Transcendence Inheritance.

’Yet, practicing the cultivation methods here can accelerate the accumulation of Druid experience, so it’s worth the dual cultivation...’

Fang Xing glanced outside the cave and made a silent decision: "I can settle within the Qingmu Ridge sphere of influence first... then begin to improve myself. Of course, the most important thing is still to find my true self... But where exactly has my true self gone? I can only vaguely sense its state, yet cannot locate it?"
