75 We Cultivators Never Hold Grudges! Really!
Fang Jinyu didn’t want to give Ling Xiaojiu a chance to trouble him. After all, Fang Jinyu had just used his spirit tool to smash Ling Xiaojiu’s disciple and lover. When the other Core Formation stage cultivators saw it, they wanted to help Fang Jinyu. After all, everyone knew Fang Jinyu was innocent as long as one wasn’t blind. However, Ling Xiaojiu’s Core Formation stage aura forced them to remain silent.
It was just a small matter and there were no benefits to it. Naturally, there was no need to offend Ling Xiaojiu over it.
Not only did Ling Xiaojiu have a magic treasure, but he also came from a n.o.ble cultivation family. Although his family had no Nascent Soul stage cultivators and thus lacked the Nascent Soul stage foundation, they were still considered extremely powerful in the Nine Desolations while they have three Core Formation stage cultivators in the same sect.
It wasn’t worth it to offend someone of the same cultivation base from an aristocratic cultivation family because of helping an ordinary sect disciple!
As soon as Fang Jinyu came down, he landed directly next to Xin Qianqian.
It was because Fang Jinyu was the most familiar with her.
Fang Jinyu immediately heard Xin Qianqian say indignantly, “He’s too much! How can he not get punished for his sneak attack?! Senior brother, are you alright?”
“I’m fine. Although he is a cultivator who ranks 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage, so am I.” Fang Jinyu smiled and didn’t seem to mind. After all, it wasn’t worth it to be upset over such a thing, because being angry would only hurt him. Moreover, it would easily affect his mood in cultivation.
Fang Jinyu thought he might as well get the next opportunity to revenge on the other party.
Fang Jinyu thought, “We cultivators never hold grudges! Even though I kill him in the future, it is just to end the karma.”
“Yes, it’s true.”
However, Xin Qianqian was a little angry at Fang Jinyu’s nonchalant att.i.tude. She said, “Senior brother, can you not be so generous? You’ll easily be at a disadvantage! I don’t know how you managed to cultivate the late-stage Foundation Establishment!”
“First, refine elixirs. Afterward, cultivate after consuming the elixirs. This is how I cultivate the late-stage Foundation Establishment.” Fang Jinyu tried his best to keep his expression natural. It was because he was almost unable to hold back his laughter.
Xin Qianqian was speechless.
Xin Qianqian rolled her eyes at Fang Jinyu resentfully, then fell silent.
Xin Qianqian thought, “Is this the pride of an alchemist for relying on elixirs to cultivate?”
Xin Qianqian couldn’t help but think of the elixirs Fang Jinyu had prepared for her, and she felt warm in her heart. Meanwhile, she couldn’t help but smile.
Although Xin Qianqian had enough elixirs, she couldn’t improve her cultivation base as easily as the “detestable man” in front of her. As a result, she was still ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage.
The only conclusion that could be drawn was that Xin Qianqian was truly deserving of the “unparalleled understanding” that allowed her to break through without using a Foundation Establishment Elixir!
With this in mind, Xin Qianqian smiled again. She thought, “It’s all because of the man under her!”
Suddenly, Fang Jinyu felt someone poking his stomach.
Fang Jinyu lowered his head. Sure enough, the only person who could get close to him without him knowing and doing such a childish and boring action was Qing Fu.
“That man is Ximen Jianyi.” Qing Fu said it hurriedly when she saw Fang Jinyu looking at her.
“You mean the one who attacked me before?”
Fang Jinyu was a little surprised. Although he knew Ximen Jianyi, he had no idea what he looked like.
“Yes!”
Seeing Qing Fu nod, Fang Jinyu’s expression turned strange. He thought, “After losing his sword, Ximen Jianyi surprisingly didn’t turn evil, and his cultivation base didn’t improve much.”
“Is this the result of not having luck?”
Fang Jinyu was shocked.
For the first time, Fang Jinyu had the most direct understanding of luck. It seemed that his smooth-sailing cultivation journey was more or less related to the luck that the sword brought him.
Although Fang Jinyu couldn’t use the part of luck, it was still with him.
Therefore, Fang Jinyu had more or less gained some benefits.
With this in mind, Fang Jinyu’s desire for luck grew. It seemed that he had to put his previous plan on the table. However, he didn’t know much about how spirit beasts and cultivators from the devil’s realm and the City of Liches break through the Foundation Establishment stage. He had to study them carefully.
In the world of immortal cultivation, if one gave the path of immortal cultivation benefits, one would naturally be considered to have contributed to the world and would be recognized by the heavens and earth.
The path of immortal cultivation included humans, demons, Liches, and even spirit beasts with a little bit of intelligence, as well as the strange creatures in the desolate forbidden land.
Therefore, it was extremely difficult to create a brand new Foundation Establishment Elixir that was universal and easy to obtain. If not for Fang Jinyu’s gains from his system, as well as his deep knowledge of medicinal properties, he wouldn’t have dared to have such a thought.
“Hey, hey, hey, did you become stupid?” At this moment, a small hand was waving back and forth in front of Fang Jinyu.
Fang Jinyu said, “I’m just a little surprised. I didn’t expect him to be Ximen Jianyi.”
“Who is the person you’re talking about?” Xin Qianqian glanced at Qing Fu. Although she didn’t know Qing Fu, she knew that her “Senior Brother Fang” had once helped two people to join the Tianling Sect. One was his cousin, and the other was probably his cousin as well.
Since she was his cousin, it didn’t matter.
Xin Qianqian believed that the kind and honest “Senior Brother Fang” was definitely not a b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
Xin Qianqian was a.s.sured.
Qing Fu blinked her eyes and said, “He’s a disciple of Mount Lingjian.”
Xin Qianqian couldn’t help but ask, “Do you guys have any old grudges against him?”
Qing Fu put on an innocent look and said, “Yes! He once slapped me for no reason! It was just because I called her junior sister’s name!” Speaking of which, Ximen Jianyi’s slap made her feel in danger, so she understood a bunch of “secret techniques.”
For example, Qing Fu understood the “I’m good at hiding” and the “mystery realm” after the incident.
“He’s crossing the line!” Xin Qianqian naturally believed in Qing Fu’s words. She then asked curiously, “It seems like he really likes his junior sister! But why did he fall in love with someone else?”
“His junior sister is Junior Sister Su. It’s just that I don’t know what happened that made her join Mount Tianling.” As Fang Jinyu said, he guessed in his heart.
Fang Jinyu felt that Su Yier would join Mount Tianling because of the “investigation report” that he and Jiao Taohua had submitted.
Could it be that the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster had discovered something?
Just as Fang Jinyu was mulling it over, a jade token flew up, and a voice said, “Ximen Jianyi of Mount Lingjian versus Fang Jinyu of Mount Xiaohe.”
Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but be a little surprised, but he immediately understood the situation. He was scheduled to battle Ximen Jianyi after someone snitched on the compet.i.tion’s progress.
The person who said it also knew that there was something fishy about it. Hence, he said, “The rules of the compet.i.tion are to fight three rounds, regardless of the cultivator’s rank. Therefore, it is normal to draw two matches together.”
The ranking was a way to easily attract hatred. Although it could encourage the disciples to focus on the compet.i.tion, it was more likely to lead to murder among fellow disciples.
...
Therefore, the Tianling Sect canceled the ranking compet.i.tion a few hundred years ago.
Fang Jinyu didn’t say anything and immediately flew up. After all, he had to get revenge on Ximen Jianyi for his sneak attack, right?
Although it was a compet.i.tion and Fang Jinyu couldn’t be too harsh, he could still hurt Ximen Jianyi.
At this moment, on the battlefield, Ximen Jianyi looked at Fang Jinyu gloomily, and his eyes were full of hatred. He said, “You deserve to die because you hurt Senior Sister Su!”
As soon as Ximen Jianyi finished speaking, he took out his sword.
The sword was a superior-grade spirit tool, and it derived a myriad of flames.
