Chapter 68: Oath

  "By the way, there's something else I want to tell you." Liu Caiyu smiled and suddenly thought of something.

  "What's going on?" Fang Li asked.

  "Do you still remember that toad? He was also taken in as a disciple by one of the masters, and when he left Mount Huaiyu, he asked me to pass on a message to you. Do you want to know what it is?" Liu Caiyu said with a smile.

  Fang Li was taken aback, knowing that she was referring to Yan Chongli. He couldn't help but let out a cold laugh and said, "What else can you say? It's not like you won't come looking for me to exact revenge in the future."

  "Hmm, he indeed said that, but don't worry, within two months I'll be able to break through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining, and under the same cultivation level, he's absolutely not my match. At that time, I'll take action to help you deal with him." Liu Caiyu said confidently.

  "No need for you to intervene, I've said it before, he comes to me for revenge, and every time I'll beat him back once, making him leave in humiliation." Fang Li shook his head, declining her kindness. Yan Chongli was just a Qi Refining stage cultivator after all, and Fang Li still had confidence in dealing with him.

  "That's too much trouble, I'll just kill him for you directly, it's simpler and more convenient." Liu Caiyu swung the long sword in her hand, looking elegant and refreshing.

  Fang Li's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned, saying: "The sect rules state that fellow disciples must not harm each other. Don't randomly kill people, lest you bring calamity upon yourself."

  Liu Caiyu, however, was nonchalant and said, "What sect rules? My master said that those rules are only used to restrict ordinary people. Which of the Yuan Ying period elders haven't stained their hands with the blood of a few fellow disciples? They just do it a bit more discreetly. In the cultivation world, everything still relies on strength."

  Fang Lidun was taken aback, thinking of the effortless way Xuan Qian had tried to kill him earlier. What Liu Caiyu said might be true after all. However, this only further fueled his desire to become stronger.

  "However, it's still not permissible to accumulate too much killing karma. It's said that after the foundation period is complete, one will face the first heavenly tribulation, which is the Tribulation of Dan Formation. If the killing karma is too heavy, I'm afraid you'll be directly blown into dust by the heavenly tribulation." Fang Li warned.

  "I'm aware of this, my master warned me recently not to kill living beings indiscriminately. She said that when she was forming her elixir, she suffered from this problem and almost got struck by heavenly thunder, scattering her soul. It was only thanks to the sect leader's intervention that she was saved..." As she spoke, Liu Caiyu also revealed a hint of caution.

  Fang Li did not immediately respond, but thought to himself: With Xuan Yu's personality of viewing life as worthless, it's a pity that she wasn't struck dead by the heavenly thunder. Yet she still has the nerve to advise others to avoid creating karma for killing, how ridiculous.

  "You don't need to worry about Yan Chongli's matter, I will handle it myself." Fang Li said, not wanting to entangle himself in this issue any further. After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

  "Wait." Liu Caiyu called out to Fang Li again, her face showing some reluctance.

  "What else?" Fang Li furrowed his brow.

  Liu Caiyu thought for a moment, then suddenly took out three elixirs and handed them to Fang Li, saying: "Your cultivation is also approaching the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining. These few Dragon Marrow Opening Orifice Elixirs are for you, hoping they can help you break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. If it's not enough, you can still come find me."

  Fang Li was stunned for a moment, and actually wanted to accept the few pellets of medicine. The Longgui Tongqiao Dan was something he had been craving for a long time. However, in the end, he shook his head and said, "No reward without merit, I appreciate your kind intentions."

  As soon as she heard this, Liu Caiyu was unhappy, "What's the point of not receiving a salary without doing anything? The young lady has always treated you as a friend. I should have let Master kill you with one sword just now."

  Look at Liu Caiyu's angry expression, Fang Li was stunned. Is she a friend? Well, sort of. He immediately stopped hesitating and took the three elixirs from Liu Caiyu's hand. After thinking for a moment, he also took out a porcelain bottle from his Qiankun bag and carefully put them inside.

  After doing all this, Fang Li smiled at Liu Caiyu and said, "Thank you."

  "Where did so many polite words come from, hurry up and go, I hope that in two months at the new disciple conference, when we meet again, you will have already broken through to the seventh level of Qi refining." Liu Caiyu waved her hand, and said "thank you" to Fang Li Lao with a tone that didn't sound very sincere.

  Break through to the seventh layer of Qi refining in just two months? How easy is that! Fang Li only smiled and didn't say a word. If he hadn't joined the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, it would have been impossible even in two years.

  However, Fang Li was very much looking forward to the new disciple conference. It is said that during the conference, a competition will be held to rank all the newly recruited disciples, and those who rank high will receive rewards of varying degrees.

  Of course, Fang Li only heard a few words from Donghai Laozhang, and it's not clear what the reward is. Only know that the top three will get a four-product pill foundation pill, which is a fatal temptation for those new disciples.

  What is the foundation-building pill? It's a medicinal pill that helps break through to the foundation-building period. It's said that after taking the foundation-building pill, the probability of breaking through will increase by 50%. It's absolutely something that all Qi-refining cultivators dream of having.

  If breaking through the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level is a cultivator's first hurdle, then breaking through the tenth level of Qi Refining to the Foundation Establishment stage is a cultivator's second hurdle. This hurdle is absolutely more difficult than the first one. Without external assistance, it would be difficult for even one out of ten cultivators at the tenth level of Qi Refining to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if they do break through, they will likely get stuck on this step for many years. For example, Fang Clan's Elder Fang Xuzi didn't break through this bottleneck until he was over 80 years old and was blocked by it for decades. The clan leader Fang Han and other senior elders were unable to break through even until their death. This shows the preciousness of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

  Although Fang Li is now only in the sixth realm of Qi Refining, he still has a long way to go before breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, but this does not hinder his desire for the Foundation Establishment Pill. If he can obtain this pill, his chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage will be greatly increased.

  Of course, apart from this, in this conference, these new disciples can also get many benefits, such as having the opportunity to enter the Scripture Pavilion and the Sword Mausoleum.

  Inside the Scripture Pavilion, there are many top-notch sword techniques and formulas, whose benefits naturally need not be mentioned. In the Sword Mausoleum, many precious swords that were eliminated by predecessors are left behind. It is said that there are even higher-level spiritual instruments than the law enforcement instruments. If you have good luck to get one, your strength may increase exponentially.

  Thinking of this, Fang Li couldn't help but look forward to the arrival of the New Disciple Conference even more. However, his main task at present is still to seize every moment to cultivate and practice, for without sufficient strength, everything else is just an illusion.

  Fang Liben wanted to bid farewell to Liu Caiyu, but before he could speak, suddenly a rustling sound was heard, and the Xuanxian fairy in light yellow Taoist robes appeared once again.

  She coldly looked at Fang Li and said: "A moment has already passed, why are you still here?"

  Fang Li's expression remained calm, and he nodded slightly before saying, "My disciple will take his leave now." Although he was stronger than the other person, he had no choice but to lower his head. After speaking these words, Fang Li turned around decisively and headed towards the teleportation array, fearing that if he walked slowly, he would invite more unnecessary trouble.

  Liu Caiyu saw this and felt a little reluctant, with an expression that seemed to want to say something but stopped.

  Ke Xuan's eyebrows suddenly furrowed and he said in a cold voice: "Wait!"

  Fang Li was taken aback, and a surge of anger suddenly rose up in his heart. He had already prepared to leave Yuzhu Peak, what else did she want?

  "Is there anything else that Miss Xuan Yu has instructed?" Fang Li suppressed the anger in his heart and asked as respectfully as possible.

  "What is that in your hand?" Xuan Xianzi's gaze fell on Fang Li's right hand, where he was holding a porcelain bottle containing the three Longmai Tongjiao Dan pills given to him by Liu Caiyu.

  "Longmai Tongqiao Dan." Fang Li didn't hide it, and even if he did, it would be useless.

  Xuan Xianzi heard this, and suddenly let out a cold laugh, angrily shouting: "You still say that you didn't come with ulterior motives, no more than wanting to swindle my disciple's elixir, truly shameless!"

  How shameless you are, how shameless your whole family is! Fang Li was almost furious to the point of exploding his lungs and nearly couldn't help but swear at her directly. But the remaining sanity told him to endure!

  Fang Li's face was cold and unyielding, not uttering a single word of rebuttal. He simply relaxed his right hand, allowing the porcelain bottle to fall to the ground. At the same time, he asked indifferently: "Is this satisfactory, fairy?"

  "Master, I gave it to Fang Li of my own accord, he didn't cheat me..." Liu Caiyu saw this and became somewhat anxious.

  "Shut up, the master's eyes are sharp and can judge right from wrong." Xuan Yun Xi Zi scolded Liu Cai Yu with one sentence, but before she could continue to mock Fang Li, he had already stepped into the teleportation array.

  In an instant, the teleportation array lit up brightly, and with a whoosh, Fang Lie disappeared inside.

  At the moment of transmission, Fang Li's eyes were still staring at the porcelain bottle containing Longgui Tongqiao Dan on the ground, gritting his teeth and secretly swearing: Today you humiliate me, insult me, look down on me, tomorrow I will make you crawl on the ground and look up!
