As time passed, Fang Xing's cultivation showed faint signs of declining as the Samadhi True Fire refined it. However, Fang Xing did not panic at all. This was a normal phenomenon. When the quality of one's Dao foundation increased, one's cultivation would decrease accordingly. This was not a bad thing. Instead, it was a great thing that countless people dreamed of. The increase in the quality of one's Dao foundation was far more important than the increase in one's cultivation.
"It really is effective. Looks like if I use the Samadhi True Fire to refine it from time to time, raising my Dao foundation to the Violet Foundation shouldn't be a problem …"
Fang Xing let out a sigh of relief and looked inside his sea of consciousness. He was overjoyed.
After leaving his sea of consciousness, he did a quick count and discovered that out of the forty or so Foundational Cleansing Pills he had obtained in the Celestial Garden, he had actually consumed over thirty of them. This was equivalent to two gourds. It was indescribably wasteful. However, he had used over thirty Foundational Cleansing Pills in exchange for one of the Samadhi True Fire. It was not a loss. Fang Xing even felt that he had made a profit.
After discovering the correct usage of the Gold Elixir and Foundation Cleansing Elixir, Fang Xing could be said to be refreshed and in a great mood. He stopped practicing and called Jinwu, Xu Lingyun, and Qingyi in. He told them about the usage of the Gold Elixir. These people were also quite shocked, especially Qingyi. Even his master did not know that the Gold Elixir could be used this way. He only knew that it could improve the quality of elixirs.
"Master once said that the short-sighted look at the Xuan Realm and see treasures everywhere. The far-sighted look at the Xuan Realm and see legacies. Sure enough, this is true! This Golden Core is so wondrous that it's different from any other methods of alchemy in the four continents of Tian Yuan. If we can understand its secrets and refine it in large quantities, the problem of talent that has troubled the cultivation world for tens of thousands of years will be solved to a certain extent … "
After a moment of shock, Qing Yi sighed softly and seemed to be in thought.
The Golden Crow, on the other hand, became excited. It approached Fang Xing with a grin and asked if he had any more Golden Cores.
Fang Xing looked at it in disdain and said, "There are two more, but don't even think about it. One is for Senior Sister Lingyun!"
The Golden Crow was stunned, but it would not fight with Xu Lingyun. After all, she was someone who would think of saving Fang Xing in a dangerous situation. For someone like her, it would not be too much even if Fang Xing gave her all his treasures, let alone a Golden Core. However, the Golden Crow rolled its eyes and said with a smile, "Isn't there another one? Give me the last one, I need it too … "
Fang Xing smiled and said, "I can't give you this one either. Someone else has chosen it!"
The Golden Crow was furious. It rolled its eyes at Fang Xing and looked at him angrily.
Fang Xing took out a Golden Core and pulled out a person who was immobilized by a Soul-Lock Talisman. It was the junior division leader of the Fire Cloud Tribe. Fang Xing put the junior division leader and the Golden Core into a storage bag and casually threw it to the robber in green.
Seeing how generous he was, the robber in green was a little surprised. "You're willing to give it to me just like that?"
Fang Xing chuckled and said, "Of course I'm going to give it to you, but I have two things to ask of you!"
The robber in green was slightly stunned. "You don't have to tell me the first thing. Do you want me to bring Miss Lingyun to China? When you borrowed her to return the Star Grass to me, I already knew what to do. As for the second thing … "
Fang Xing took a deep breath and suddenly said, "That girl, Xiaoman, wasn't bullied, right?"
Xu Lingyun was shocked when she heard the words "Xiao Man" and looked at Fang Xing in surprise.
The robber in green was also slightly taken aback. After a while, he laughed and said, "You guessed it?"
Fang Xing rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not stupid. You're from the Divine Prefecture and have nothing to do with me, but you know me. Someone must have told you. I've lived for so long, and the only person I've dealt with from the Dong Sheng Divine Prefecture is Fourth Madam Xuan of the Fuyao Palace. However, that woman seems to be very arrogant. She didn't hesitate to kill an ant like me back then. Now, she wouldn't specially ask you to teach me a lesson. Thinking about it, the only possibility is … Xiaoman …"
After a pause, he continued, "When Senior Sister Lingyun was refining pills for me yesterday, she accidentally mentioned that you know her name. Haha, other than that stupid girl Xiao Man, who else can know both of us at the same time?"
The robber in green was stunned and laughed. He said, "It's not easy for you to remember it now!"
Fang Xing snorted and said, "I thought you were a man at the beginning, so I didn't think it was Xiao Man. Xiao Man would never be intimate with another man behind my back. It would be better if it was a woman …"
The robber in green was shocked this time and said, "Who said I was …"
"Haha …"
Before she finished speaking, the Golden Crow and Fang Xing had already burst into laughter.
The laughter was so disdainful that the robber in green blushed with embarrassment.
"Twisting your waist and butt while walking, and you still say you're not a woman …"
The Golden Crow's laughter was so ear-piercing and loud that it kept croaking.
The robber in green snorted coldly and a drop of blue water floated in his palm.
The Golden Crow was startled and laughed. "I'm going to take a walk outside …"
After saying that, he sneaked away like a thief.
"Did you also find out that I'm a woman like this bird?"
The robber in green looked askance at Fang Xing.
Fang Xing sighed and said, "I'm not. Although I saw you swaying your waist when you walked, I thought you were a sissy. However, when you saved Senior Sister Lingyun, I realized …"
The robber in green was stunned. Even Xu Lingyun was a little surprised and looked at Fang Xing.
Fang Xing laughed. "When Senior Sister Lingyun fell from the sky, you actually went up to her and grabbed her arm to fall to the ground … Senior Sister Lingyun is so beautiful, but you didn't go up to hug her. You're either a fool or a woman. I don't think you're that stupid!"
The robber in green was speechless. She did not expect that Fang Xing could see the reason and was even more of a bastard than the Great Golden Crow.
Xu Lingyun blushed and found a random reason to leave.
"Fine, so be it. I didn't intend to hide it for too long anyway …"
The robber in green no longer hid it and said that he had indeed been entrusted here by Xiao Man. After listening to her narration, Fang Xing's heart felt strangely stifled. According to the robber in green, Xiao Man had now officially become a disciple of Fuyao Palace and had revealed her talent in the art of pills. She had revealed a little of her talent, and the robber in green had also gotten to know Xiao Man because of a furnace of pills. Their relationship grew closer and they could be considered bosom buddies.
It was also the robber in green who told Xiao Man about the news that the Mysterious Coffin had landed on Nan Zhan. Based on Xiao Man's understanding of Fang Xing, she knew that this young master of hers would definitely come to join in on the fun. Thus, she begged the robber in green to come see him and pass on a message for her. It was also because of Xiao Man's entrustment that she would come to the area where Cultivator Nan Zhan was while searching for the spiritual medicine. She wanted to see who this fellow who had charmed her sister to the point of losing her soul was, and what kind of ability did he have to make that girl treat Shao-situ of Fuyao Palace with such disdain?
In the beginning, when she mentioned Fang Xing, that indistinct hostility came from this.
"How is Xiao Man doing over there?"
Fang Xing was most concerned about this question.
When this girl was mentioned, it was as if she was a thorn in his heart.
Master Fang Xing, Fang Xing, was capable, thick-skinned, and shameless enough. Basically, no matter what he did, there was nothing he could not achieve. Only Xiao Man, the girl who had been with him through the most difficult and sorrowful days, the person he had thought of as one of his own, was taken away by someone else. When it was difficult for her to escape the identity of someone else's concubine, he could not stop her. He was helpless and felt an indescribable helplessness …
The robber in green did not know what he was thinking. She only looked at Fang Xing indifferently and said, "Originally, it was very good. Xiao Man is intelligent, kind, and talented. Even if she has the blood of the Demon and Barbarian, very few people would look down on her because of this. Originally, if she had continued on this path, perhaps her future achievements could be said to be limitless, but it's a pity …"
Following the change in her tone, Fang Xing's heart suddenly jumped.
The robber in green sighed softly and said, "It's a pity that this girl, Xiao Man, at the most critical time, made the worst choice! Their Fu Yao Palace's inheritance is unique, I think you've heard of it. Xiao Man and her group of outstanding disciples originally had the opportunity to be promoted to study with Shao-situ in Fu Yao Palace. Once they were promoted, they would reach the heavens in a single step and have a bright future … "
After a pause, she said softly, "Originally, this opportunity was fought for by an elder who thought highly of Xiao Man. Because normally, with the blood of the Demon and Barbarian, Xiao Man would not have the opportunity to study with Shao-situ. But who would have thought that even though that elder fought for such a good opportunity for her, that girl Xiao Man rejected it. She would rather not have those resources and opportunities …"
At this point, the robber in green turned to look at Fang Xing and said with a smile, "Do you think she's stupid?"
Fang Xing's face was expressionless as he said, "How is she now? Did someone bully her? "
The robber in green said, "She and I are good friends, so I'm afraid there aren't many people who would dare to bully her. However, some dirty things in the dark are unavoidable. Who asked her to be the only disciple in Fu Yao Palace who doesn't want to serve Shao-situ? Hehe, this girl told me in private that her identity is your servant girl. One servant cannot serve two masters, so even if she dies, she will not serve another man … "
At this point, the robber in green looked at Fang Xing and said, "When I first came to the Xuan Region, I even had the thought of killing you to put an end to this silly girl's unrealistic thoughts and prevent her from bringing disaster to the future! After all, if she doesn't serve Shao-situ at this time, she will only be left out in the cold. But when Fu Yao Palace's Shao-situ becomes the crown for a hundred years, if she dares to disobey, she will be courting death … "
When Fang Xing heard this, he didn't speak for a long time. It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
