Chapter 60 Trouble

  The cave of 'Yu' Peak's mountain is very simple, although it has more than 20 meters deep, but except for a stone table and several stone chairs, there are no other furniture, not even a decent bed. However, the deepest part of the cave is a piece of polished smooth ground, which is quite clean and can be used as a seat.

  Fang Li walked closer to the empty space and found that it was roughly circular in shape, with a diameter of about one zhang. What surprised him most was that on this empty space, an array for gathering spirits had been drawn. As long as a crystal stone was embedded at the center of the array, it could be activated to increase his cultivation speed.

  "It's indeed worthy of being a great sect, they've even arranged for someone to set up a Spirit Gathering Array in an ordinary cultivation location." Fang Li muttered to himself, but it did save him some time.

  "Who?" The sudden sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the cave, Fang Li furrowed his brow and asked aloud.

  "It's me." A soft and melodious female voice rose up, like the song of an oriole.

  Fang Li immediately knew who the visitor was, and his eyebrows furrowed even tighter. "What brings you here? A lone man and a lone woman in the same room together, aren't you afraid of stirring up rumors?"

  The girl suddenly let out a snort, bursting into loud laughter, "I'm dying of laughter, and you're just a little brat spreading rumors, hahaha..."

  Fang Li's face turned cold and he stopped paying attention to her. He had figured it out, this woman was a crazy lady.

  Fang Li ignored himself, Liu Cai 'Yu' laughed alone and walked to Fang Li's side: "Actually, I came over to apologize to you. That sentence was also unintentional, but I didn't expect your reaction to be so intense."

  Fang Li glanced at her and his complexion finally improved a bit. After all, he wasn't a petty person, but still didn't respond.

  Liu Cai 'Yu' didn't care if he responded or not, and continued to speak on her own: "To be honest, this is all your fault. If you hadn't called me 'mother' before, I wouldn't have subconsciously said something like that. Besides, it was just a careless remark, there's no need for you to get so worked up. Unless...your mother..."

  "Get out!" Liu Cai 'Yu' hadn't finished speaking when Fang Li's expression changed again, and he rudely interrupted her.

  "Hmph, get out and don't come back to my place asking for the antidote. I was going to give it to you anyway, but since you dare to bully me, tomorrow I'll throw it away to feed the dogs." Liu Caiyu took out a porcelain bottle and waved it in front of Fang Li, snorted, then turned around and walked towards the cave entrance.

  Fang Li's heart was filled with annoyance, and he heavily punched the wall of the cave. This person didn't seem to be here to apologize, but rather to find fault with himself.

  Adjusting his mood, Fang Li began to sit in meditation, no matter how bad his mood was, he couldn't neglect his practice. After about a pot of tea's worth of time, Fang Li finally discarded all distractions and entered a state.

  Since breaking through to the sixth layer of Qi Refining, the growth rate of true energy has slowed down significantly. If it were outside, Fang Li would need at least two years to fill up his true energy and reach the peak of the sixth layer of Qi Refining. However, now that he has joined the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, he can cultivate in a place with dense spiritual energy, and with the help of formations and Pei Yuan Dan, he should be able to shorten the time to one year.

  It was shortened to one year, which was unimaginable in the past.

  It's relatively simple to cultivate true energy, just follow the routine and practice step by step. However, if you want to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, it still depends on luck. This not only requires sufficient spiritual energy as a foundation but also needs to have some insight into the natural world, otherwise, you will never be able to break through in your lifetime.

  At this time, "thud thud thud", another burst of footsteps came, and Fang Li had just entered a state of concentration, but was immediately pulled out by the sound.

  "Who?" Fang Li asked somewhat impatiently. Being interrupted while cultivating was not exactly conducive to a good mood.

  "I suddenly remembered something I need to talk to you about." A bright figure appeared in front of Fang Li, surprisingly it was the returning Liu Caiyu!

  Fang Li stared at her blankly, scratched his hair, took a few deep breaths, and finally suppressed the restless emotions, calmly saying: "What's going on?"

  Liu Cai 'Yu' suddenly burst out laughing, 'Hua' branch stretched out, "Your expression when you were being polite to Wu Lingfeng was really laughable, it's clear you didn't want to continue chatting with him, but he somehow managed to break through your defenses and get you to agree with his 'tempting' words, hahahaha..."

  "Have you had enough of laughing? If so, then please leave." Fang Li was surprisingly calm this time and only gave her a cold stare.

  Liu Cai 'Yu' was stunned, sensing that Fang Li's expression seemed somewhat off, and the laughter abruptly stopped, but she didn't move her feet to leave, still lingering.

  "In fact, if you want to break through to the seventh level of Qi refinement, just ask me and I'll be fine. I know much more than that waste called Wu Lingfeng. Moreover, I not only have theoretical insights but also practical objects that can help with the breakthrough." Liu Caiyu walked up to Fang Li's front, smiling as she spoke.

  Jian Fangli glanced over and looked at himself, and was indeed attracted by his own words. Liu Cai's 'jade' became even more excited and continued to say: "Have you ever heard of the Longxu Tongqiao Dan? It is a special pill used to break through the seven layers of Lianqi. Although it is not really made from dragon brain, it is also a top-grade three-product pill. According to legend, as long as one reaches the peak of the sixth layer of Lianqi, taking it will allow one to attempt to break through, and the success rate is over 40%."

  Fang Li was stunned, it was the first time he had heard of such a pill 'medicine', which could forcibly break through to the seventh layer of Qi refining realm after taking it, and it was too unbelievable! Although the success rate is only 40%, it is also a rare treasure.

  The understanding of Dan medicine is still too poor, only recognizing some low-level Dan medicine, it seems that in the future, I need to learn more about it, and sigh with a sense of benefit.

  Dan medicine is extremely important for cultivators, many bottlenecks can be broken through with the help of Dan medicine. If not for Liu Caiyu's reminder, he really wouldn't have thought of this and would only be foolishly cultivating alone.

  Thinking of this, Fang Li couldn't help but say solemnly: "Thank you."

  "Don't think that just by saying thank you, I'll give you a single grain of Longgui Tongkui Dan. If you call me sister, I might consider it, but the medicine on my body is not much, only one bottle, and if luck is bad, maybe all will be used up without breaking through, at most can only share three grains with you."

  "If you really have the heart, give me the antidote to the Gu poison, and as for other things, I don't ask for much. Although I want to break through to the Seventh Realm of Qi Refining as soon as possible, I will never accept charity that is playful in nature." Fang Li naturally wouldn't fail to hear the mocking tone in her voice, so he didn't take it seriously.

  Liu Cai 'Yu' smiled, "You don't have to worry about it, but wanting to detoxify is impossible. Also, let me remind you that the Thirteen Gu Poison Dan is a genuine third-grade dan medicine, don't think that those Yuan Ying period cultivators can eliminate it. If you want to detoxify, except for the matching antidote, only fourth-grade or higher, specialized dan medicines that counteract gu poison will work."

  Liu Cai's words made Fang Li's heart tighten, the Thirteen Gu Poison Dan was actually a third-grade elixir, how extravagant to use it like that!

  At this time, even if Fang Lizhu's cultivation was good, he couldn't help but curse. Which alchemist ate too much and created such a third-rate elixir? It can be sold? However, this elixir seems to have been refined by that old stone man. In that case, it is possible that the annoying woman in front of him really has Longgui Tongqiao Dan. After all, she will soon reach the peak of the sixth layer of Qi Refining. If the old stone man was indeed an alchemist, he would not have failed to prepare such an elixir for her.

  Although so, Fang Li still didn't care about her.

  More than half a time passed, Liu Cai 'Yu' finally left, and Fang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, as soon as he thought that the antidote was still in her hands, Fang Li felt annoyed again.

  Fang Li sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated. Now that it's almost dawn, if he doesn't practice some breathing exercises, his mental state might deteriorate significantly.

  It's unknown how long he had been in meditation, but sunlight was already shining through the 'cave' entrance. Many new disciples were out and about. Yesterday, when they climbed the mountain, it was still nighttime, so they couldn't get a good look at Huaiyu Peak; now they could take their time to observe it carefully.

  Hearing the noise outside, Fang Li frowned, this place for cultivation was still not good, it was easy to be disturbed by others.

  "I don't know how Chong Xiao Peak is, it should be better than here." With a hint of expectation, Fang Li stretched his body and also wanted to go out of the mountain cave to take a look. The mysterious Yang Sword Sect was still curious to him.

  "Someone's going to start a fight!"

  Fang Lizi had just walked out of the mountain cave when he heard a new disciple hastily shouting, looking like he wanted to report to Wu Lingfeng and others.

  "It's only the first day and there's already a conflict, really 'lively'." Fang Li shook his head and looked towards the open space in front, discovering that many people had gathered there. The two men standing in the middle with their swords drawn were probably the ones involved in the conflict.

  It's just... that woman wearing a yellow cheongsam seems somewhat familiar, if it's not Liu Caiyu then who is it?

  Fang Li's eyebrows furrowed instantly and he silently walked forward.

  With a loud crash, before Fang Li could even get close, the two of them had already started fighting.

  The one fighting with Liu Cai 'Yu' was a man in his early twenties. The man looked ordinary, but he was very short, especially his neck, which was so short that it seemed almost non-existent. He looked exactly like a turtle. What surprised Fang Li, however, was that this person's cultivation had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, making him one of the top two or three among these new disciples.

  Liu Cai's 'Jade' was still in the Refining Qi Sixfold Realm, who could be his opponent? After just a few exchanges of blows, he revealed signs of defeat and could only barely hold on.

  "Give up, you're not even my match. Besides, I just wanted to get to know you, why reject me from a thousand miles away?" The man said with a smile on his face, laughing loudly and seeming very pleased with himself.

  "Disgusting toad, if you don't get out of my sight today, I'll make sure you're not surnamed Liu!" Liu Caiyu was visibly furious, her hand wielding a green-edged sword that stabbed repeatedly with deadly precision. However, each attack was blocked by the man.

  The man became more and more pleased, he didn't rush to defeat Liu Cai 'Yu', but instead deliberately left some strength, teasing her like a cat playing with a mouse.

  Fang Li frowned, originally he didn't want to get involved in this matter, but the man's behavior made him somewhat disgusted. Killing someone is just a matter of life and death, why deliberately humiliate others? Moreover, it was a woman.
