by fanqienovelChapter 731: Meeting Immortal Yingshan Again
Fang Lie immediately asked with great curiosity, "What kind of opportunities and risks are there?"
"Let me put it this way, as one of the seven forbidden places, the Land of Star Fragments is actually very small, only about a hundred thousand miles in circumference. However, its danger is among the top in the seven forbidden places! It is even much more terrifying than the Dragon Palace." Mo Qianxun explained, "Because above the Land of Star Fragments, there is a huge spatial fissure, or a hole in space, which was broken through by an unparalleled mighty being from outside tens of thousands of years ago."
"An unparalleled mighty being? How powerful is that?" Fang Lie hurriedly asked with curiosity.
"I don’t know, but certainly far beyond an Earth Immortal. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to directly shatter the barrier of the Great Thousand World, nor could this hole have existed so long without healing. This is just a remnant of that being’s power." Mo Qianxun said solemnly, "On the other side of that spatial breach should be the immortal’s dojo of some mighty being, but it was destroyed and turned into ruins. The reason meteors constantly fall is that the fractured world is slowly disintegrating, causing many fragments to leak into ours."
"The immortal’s dojo?" Hearing this, Fang Lie immediately replied excitedly, "There must be many good things there, right?"
"Of course~" Mo Qianxun smiled and said, "Fragments of broken immortal weapons and various treasures may not be usable, but their materials are extremely high-end, and it would not be a problem to refine Eighth-Rank or even Ninth-Rank treasures. In addition, there may also be some rare treasures from heaven and earth, the remains of high-level demons, and even storage treasures."
"Storage treasures?" Fang Lie then exclaimed excitedly, "Could there be Immortal Artifacts inside?"
"Historically, there have only been three storage treasures that appeared in the Land of Star Fragments. Two of them were shattered, with most of the items lost, and the remaining one that was more complete only yielded a few Immortal Crystals, materials, and treasures. However, because the world is in decline, the Immortal Crystals cannot exist here and are slowly disintegrating. The rank of treasures has also dropped significantly, and even item spirits have fallen into a deep slumber, unable to awaken, rendering them completely useless."
"So it’s all just junk!" Fang Lie said unhappily, "Then why are you asking me to look for something?"
"Of course it’s the Immortal Crystals!" Mo Qianxun said sternly, "Immortal Crystals are crystals formed naturally from Immortal Energy, similar to our spirit stones. They might not mean much to immortals, but to us mortals, they are invaluable."
"But you also said that the Immortal Crystals cannot exist; they have all decomposed!" Fang Lie asked in confusion.
"Precisely because of that, it is worth your search!" Mo Qianxun explained with a smile, "When Immortal Crystals decompose, they turn into the purest Spiritual Energy and Nascent Soul energy. In that process, you can completely absorb them. The purity of the Spiritual Energy formed from the Immortal Crystals is unimaginable. Even a Semi-Immortal like me could benefit greatly from it, more than swallowing a Ninth-Rank spirit pill."
"Now I get it; you want me to use the Immortal Crystals to cultivate!" Fang Lie finally realized.
"Not only that, but among the rare treasures from heaven and earth, there are also some treasures and spirit herbs used for cultivation in the Immortal Realm. They may not be of much use in the Immortal Realm, but when they fall into the mortal world, they are considered rare treasures from Heaven and Earth. Although they are scarce, if you find them, it can greatly accelerate your cultivation." Mo Qianxun said with a smile, "The most recent occurrence was five hundred years ago when a Fire Tribulation Immortal obtained half a burnt immortal herb and, after closed-door training, jumped from the mid Fire Tribulation stage to mid Thunder Tribulation, crossing a major tier and three minor tiers!"
"What? That happened?" Fang Lie exclaimed in shock, "That’s at least the effect of three to five hundred Ninth-Rank spirit pills!"
"There’s nothing to be done; the treasures of the immortals are just this freakish!" Mo Qianxun shrugged, "Moreover, it’s rumored that the guy’s talent was also enhanced. He originally had a Qi Sea of several hundred miles, making it difficult to advance to the Thunder Tribulation stage, but after exiting his closed training, his formed Golden Pool expanded by a thousand miles, giving him the opportunity to advance. And this was just from the half-damaged immortal herb; imagine how powerful a complete one would be. I might even explode from it!"
"Then I must go see for myself!" Fang Lie nodded eagerly.
"Other death zones and forbidden places generally require special times to enter, and if they are not open, no one can do anything about it. The only one that can be entered at any time is this Land of Star Fragments. If you want to enhance your cultivation, you must take that risk!" Mo Qianxun said somewhat helplessly.
"Fine, I’m not afraid of death!" Fang Lie declared proudly, "If I go, who’s afraid of whom?"
"Do not be careless!" Mo Qianxun quickly warned, "The reason I want you to go is that you withstood the Immortal seal at the entrance of the Dragon Tomb, which shows your undying nature is truly high-level. But even so, do not be careless because the world on the other side of the Land of Star Fragments is much higher level than the Dragon Palace and far more dangerous. Moreover, it’s a mixed bag there; what falls could be treasures or deadly objects cursed or poisonous."
"I must tell you, there was once a Semi-Immortal who used a clone to enter and search for treasures, only to be contaminated by the black aura emitted from a broken weapon. Not only did the clone immediately perish, but his original body, billions of miles away, also perished alongside!" Mo Qianxun said solemnly, "You must not let your guard down just because you have an undying nature; one little mistake could cost you your life!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Lie suddenly became alert and quickly said, "You can rest assured, I will only let my clone enter while my original self will stay safely outside!"
"That’s good!" Mo Qianxun nodded and then smiled, "By the way, I have good news for you; Lanyun has obtained the Immortal Spirit Jellyfish and officially started her closed-door training to absorb it. Thanks to you!"
"Hey, that’s what I should do!" Fang Lie smiled slightly and then asked, "What about Mao Mao? Can she have the Five-Poison Golden Toad’s Inner Core?"
"In principle, it already counts as hers, but I haven’t given it to her yet. After all, her strength is still too low. I plan to wait until her Qi Sea exceeds seventy thousand miles before finding a suitable Dao magic to refine it before she begins to refine that thing." Mo Qianxun chuckled.
"Seventy thousand miles?" Fang Lie couldn’t help but ask, "Can she achieve that? It’s not something you can just give her some spirit pills to accomplish!"
"Ha-ha, you can rest assured about that. Thanks to her unusual talent, Mao Mao doesn’t need spirit pills; she just needs to eat!" Mo Qianxun said, then immediately made a bitter face, "But she eats too much! I can hardly afford to feed her; you must provide some!"
"Don’t even start! She’s your disciple; why should I pay for her meals?" Fang Lie immediately objected.
The reason he said this was not that Fang Lie was stingy but because it simply made no sense. Which family’s core disciple wasn’t supported by their Master? Why should he have to pay for her meals? Mo Qianxun, as the leader of the Mo Sect and a Semi-Immortal, had vast resources and still dared to complain about being poor? Fang Lie simply didn’t believe it!
Hearing this, Mo Qianxun immediately played dirty, "You’re her dear brother, and you’re so rich; isn’t it appropriate for you to contribute? You’re being too stingy!"
"Can I be richer than you?" Fang Lie retorted angrily, "This isn’t about being stingy; I’m just a Qi Sea cultivator helping a Semi-Immortal support a disciple. If people heard about it, they’d laugh at you!"
"I’m not afraid of being laughed at; just feel free to use spirit stones to crush me!" Mo Qianxun said with righteous indignation, "For Mao Mao, I can completely sacrifice my face!"
Facing such a shameless guy, Fang Lie was left speechless.
At that moment, Mo Wanfang suddenly walked over and said, "Father, Immortal Yingshan is here again!"
"Ha-ha~" Mo Qianxun immediately laughed, "It must be about the Purple Jade Flute again. Since Fang Lie is here, ask him to come in."
"Understood~" Mo Wanfang replied and then left. Shortly after, he brought Immortal Yingshan inside.
Immortal Yingshan first bowed to Mo Qianxun in greeting. Then Mo Qianxun invited him to sit down and enjoy some tea.
After taking a sip, Immortal Yingshan directly said, "I believe you already know the purpose of my visit, esteemed elder. After I returned, I contacted two other elders, who expressed deep regret and apologies for what happened at that time. They specifically asked me to come here to present a small gift to Young Master Fang as a sign of apology."
After saying that, Immortal Yingshan took out two Seventh-Rank High-Grade treasures and handed them to Fang Lie.
For others, Seventh-Rank High-Grade treasures would be considered a great gift, but Fang Lie, being wealthy, didn’t care much.
But regardless, this represented their attitude, and a dignified Semi-Immortal was bowing and apologizing, so Fang Lie naturally couldn’t take advantage of the situation.
Thus, Fang Lie received them and smiled, saying, "The two elders are too serious. Since that’s the case, let the past be past, and consider it as if it never happened!"
Immortal Yingshan immediately let out a sigh of relief. He had prepared for Fang Lie to take advantage of him but was surprised that Fang Lie was so agreeable. He quickly said, "That’s wonderful, that’s wonderful! Now, about that treasure of ours?"
"Oh, this!" Fang Lie took out the Purple Jade Flute and placed it in front of him, then said, "I believe the Overseas Three Immortal Mountains would not let me be at a disadvantage, right?"
"Of course not!" Immortal Yingshan nodded and then took out three items: an ancient sword, a jade ruyi, and a large seal that sparkled with thunder.
Immortal Yingshan smiled and said, "These three are all Eighth-Rank High-Grade treasures. Please choose one, how about that?"
"Great!" Fang Lie immediately accepted and smiled as he asked, "Please introduce them; I don’t recognize any of them!"
"Ha-ha, of course!" Immortal Yingshan laughed, "The sword is a treasured sword refined by ancient cultivators. It is a treasure, not a Flying Sword, but can transform into a black dragon, with power rivaling a Ninth-Rank Great Demon. The jade ruyi is an auxiliary treasure used to dispel heart demons and suppress evildoers. When practicing, it can be hung above the head to increase training efficiency, making it incredibly difficult to go astray!"
