'That demon tree, able to grow in a place with thin spiritual energy like Daliang, should not have much requirement for spiritual veins...'
'Moreover, it grows quite fast by devouring flesh and blood, changing every day...'
'I wonder if it can be considered a 'Heaven and Earth Spirit Root'?'
Although at this moment Fang Xi had no way to deal with the demon tree, in his storage bag, there were still three grayish tree seeds left from when he killed the wooden man!
Understanding this point, Fang Xi felt somewhat excited.
If he could cultivate into a postnatal spiritual body, with his low-grade spiritual root aptitude, perhaps there was really hope on his path!
So everything in Wanhai Tower was just a show.
Since Song Qing wanted to perform, he would accompany him in the act.
After all, the other party did not have good intentions towards him from the beginning, and this grudge was noted down.
'But in doing so, all the materials of demonic beasts I have accumulated over the years will be gone... I should go to Daliang to restock...'
Regarding the eight demon kings, especially the leading Dragon King, Fang Xi had long coveted them.
As he walked out of the Qingzhu Market, he suddenly felt several gazes fall on him, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart:
'It truly is the most chaotic black market, where killing for treasures has quickly formed an industry...'
However, Fang Xi was not afraid at all.
Now he was a True Martial Saint, a master-level True Martial external release, fully capable of withstanding attacks from magical weapons.
Before his True Martial was exhausted, his defense was unparalleled.
This was comparable to a triple body refining, coupled with the methods of other cultivators, even against a late-stage Qi refining cultivator, he could still fight!
What surprised Fang Xi was that after these gazes fell on him for a while, they dispersed.
And until he left the range of Qingzhu Mountain, he did not encounter any attacks.
'This... probably means that the Qingzhu Society is maintaining surface order quite well?'
'Or maybe they see me as poor and think I don't have much to steal?'
This was a good thing.
Therefore, Fang Xi immediately picked up his pace and quickly left the range of Qingzhu Mountain.
Outside Jiahe City.
In a desolate mountain, Fang Xi manipulated the top-grade magical weapon, the Golden Dragon Sword, to randomly hack at the rocky mountain, creating a cave in the rock face.
He then brought over a huge rock to block the entrance of the cave, affixing a 'protective talisman' on it.
After doing all this, Fang Xi finally let out a long breath.
This trip to the Qingzhu Mountain Market was still somewhat hasty.
But he didn't expect to have such a huge harvest!
Fang Xi's eyes were filled with excitement as he took out the jade slip containing the 'Longevity Technique' and began to carefully ponder it.
Sharpen the knife before cutting wood!
There was no spiritual vein here, so with his low-grade spiritual root, even if he cultivated for ten days or half a month, there would not be much progress.
It was better to ponder the techniques!
Three days later.
Fang Xi put down the jade slip, feeling dizzy.
He took a piece of Qi Gathering Pill and fell asleep.
Another day and night passed while he slept, and Fang Xi woke up feeling refreshed, pondering for a while before taking out the three seeds from his storage bag.
These three seeds had a dull gray appearance on the surface, but Fang Xi carefully sealed them because they were all products of the demon tree from before!
"To cultivate the 'Longevity Technique,' one must first have a partial wood attribute spiritual root, which I still possess."
"Then, it is necessary to find a seedling or seed of a Heaven and Earth Spirit Root!"
Regarding the selection of Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots, the jade slip also provided a method of identification, which Fang Xi had been focusing on these days!
Although he didn't know what kind of demon tree it was, judging from its original form, reaching the third rank of the Foundation Establishment level should not be difficult.
But at this moment, identification was still needed.
Fang Xi chanted a spell, and a series of obscure notes echoed in the cave.
He extended his right hand, and a hint of green light suddenly appeared on the tip of his index finger.
Fang Xi's expression became serious as he forced this point of light into one of the seeds.
Thud!
In a trance, he seemed to hear the heartbeat of this seed.
Then, on the surface of the grayish seed, a layer of blood light appeared.
"There's a reaction!"
Seeing this, Fang Xi's face lit up, "It meets the requirements and can be refined into a life spirit plant!"
To be on the safe side, he tested the other two seeds as well, finding that they were all full of vitality and met the requirements for refining.
In the end, Fang Xi naturally chose the seed with the fullest vitality and strongest aura, carefully storing it for later use.
As for the other two, he also stored them properly.
At this moment, he realized that these demon tree seeds, which were at least comparable to third-rank spiritual plants, were perhaps the most precious things on him!
"Unfortunately... I really don't dare to go back to Heishi City..."
Fang Xi had no fear of the demons in the Daliang world.
But the demons were too strange, so it was best to avoid them.
Especially when his strength was weak!
Fang Xi had now made cultivating the 'Longevity Technique' his top priority.
With his aptitude, if there was no improvement in his spiritual body, it would basically be a dream to go further on the path of cultivation in the future.
"What is cultivated through the Longevity Technique will definitely be a wood-based spiritual body... the longer the time, the stronger the spiritual body, with hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of years as boundaries!"
"The demon tree should grow quite fast... I wonder if there will be any changes after transplanting it here?"
After determining his life spirit plant, the next step was to find a place with spiritual veins and plant the spiritual roots.
This was originally a huge pitfall, as most places with spiritual veins in the Yue Kingdom were occupied by powerful forces.
Fortunately, the demon tree should have a very low demand for spiritual energy.
But Fang Xi still decided to choose a place with more abundant spiritual energy as much as possible!
"In theory, the more abundant the spiritual energy in a place, the faster the spiritual plants will grow... although the demon tree may not care about this, I do!"
The Longevity Technique required many years of cultivation, but during this time, Fang Xi himself would definitely need to cultivate as well!
The Longevity Technique was only a method of cultivating postnatal spiritual bodies and could not enhance cultivation. If he spent decades on this and ended up as an old man, he would only end his life in melancholy!
"While cultivating the spiritual body, it's best to also use the place with spiritual veins to cultivate the Changchun Technique! Only in this way can there be a chance to break through the late Qi refining stage and have a chance to impact the Foundation Building stage before the end!"
Fang Xi was already a True Martial Saint, and he had no problem living for two centuries. Before his death, his blood and energy were deeply hidden, and he had no problem with the first of the three gates of Qi and blood in the Foundation Building stage.
Also, because he needed to cultivate the Changchun Technique himself, Fang Xi did not consider planting the demon tree in the Daliang world.
Although the risk would be lower there.
After all, cultivating the Longevity Technique and cultivating postnatal spiritual bodies required absorbing a large amount of pure spiritual energy, and Daliang was truly a desert for cultivation... extremely unsuitable for cultivation.
"As for the blood food issue of the demon tree... in this regard, I have the flesh of the Taosui!"
Thinking of the Taosui, Fang Xi brought it to Sanyuancheng and occasionally cut off some meat to eat.
"I just don't know how fast the demon tree will grow... but I must be prepared to be trapped in one place for at least twenty or thirty years..."
The final big pitfall of cultivating the Longevity Technique was that during the long cultivation period, one could not leave the range of the spiritual plant.
Perhaps a brief departure was possible, but if the time was too long and the connection was broken, everything would be lost!
Once this weakness was discovered by enemies, it was very likely to be trapped and die!
"It's best to find a deserted place with spiritual veins, stockpile a large amount of food, talismans, spiritual stones... and then cultivate the Longevity Technique to perfection in one go!"
"At least... I should also cultivate a postnatal 'Green Wood Spiritual Body,' right?"
This Longevity Technique was very ambitious, with the Ethereal Wood Law Body and the Longevity Dao Body only existing in legends.
But the 'Green Wood Spiritual Body,' also known as the 'Green Wood Spiritual Body,' was a qualification Fang Xi had heard of.
It was said that decades ago, a genius with a medium-grade water spiritual root was discovered in the Yue Kingdom by the Spirit Seeker of the neighboring Wood Kingdom, possessing a 'Mysterious Water Spiritual Body'!
Although he only had a medium-grade water spiritual root, with the 'Mysterious Water Spiritual Body,' his cultivation speed was no less than that of a high-grade water spiritual root talent, and he was taken away on the spot, with his family ascending to the heavens, all moved to the Wood Kingdom.
Upon hearing this, the Xuantian Sect was furious, and almost went to war with the Qingmu Sect!
Because this nearly sparked a major event in the cultivation world of the two countries, it was talked about for decades, even Fang Xi had heard about it.
This 'Mysterious Water Spiritual Body' was a physique similar to the 'Green Wood Spiritual Body.'
"I'm not greedy, being able to cultivate into a postnatal Green Wood Spiritual Body, paired with it can be comparable to a high-grade spiritual root... that's enough..."
Fang Xi muttered to himself, "If I want to be trapped for a long time, it's best to use formations... the inheritance of the Formation Dao cannot be neglected! If necessary, I can only buy some large formation discs..."
As for inviting formation masters to set up formations? It was not conducive to privacy, so Fang Xi did not consider it.
"Alas... I'm still too passive."
Fang Xi didn't like being passive, even if his weaknesses were discovered, and he was besieged by enemies, he could abandon the demon tree and escape to save his life at a critical moment.
But the Longevity Technique would definitely be in vain!
Just as Fang Xi was contemplating his future plans, he suddenly thought of the scene where the demon tree controlled many puppets and rampaged through Heishi City.
Then, a light flashed in his eyes, "Hmm... I can't stray too far from my life spirit plant, but puppets should be able to... this is the most convenient supplement, Puppet Technique, right?"
Once his mind opened up, Fang Xi found that Beast Taming Technique was also quite good, as it could help him do many things that were inconvenient for him to do.
This was the convenience of cultivators, because they were quite comprehensive, so most problems had alternative solutions.
"This Puppet Technique, Beast Taming Technique is not as widely spread as the Four Arts of Cultivation, so it might be a bit troublesome to find an inheritance... but if I spend enough spiritual stones, without seeking the grade, I should be able to find some, right?"
Speaking of Beast Taming Technique, Fang Xi thought of the abundant resources of demonic beasts in the Daliang world, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
He used to be somewhat worried that carrying living beings between two worlds would expose his secrets.
But if he could completely control the life and death of demonic beasts, then there wouldn't be much of a problem.
"Hmm... before bringing the Taosui over, it's best to first sign a master-servant contract..."
"In this way, it can completely prevent the possibility of it turning against me."
Thinking of this, Fang Xi looked at the demon tree seed in his hand, and suddenly felt less excited.
To be on the safe side, before refining this tree seed, it was best to repeatedly refine it using the methods in the Longevity Technique to ensure there were no problems...
