Three years earlier.
A wisp of Fang Xi's Illusory True Spirit descended and possessed the body of a dead little beggar in Shangyong Prefecture, Shu Land.
This wisp of Illusory True Spirit carried little immortal power. Moreover, the laws of this Great Thousand World differed somewhat from those of the True Immortal Realm, and there seemed to be no concept of spirit roots or the like.
Although, with Fang Xi's current insight and experience, he could still borrow the false to cultivate the true, re-enter the Qi Refining Stage, and become a cultivator,

In just a few days, he had completely learned even the old instructor's most closely guarded techniques.
However, to avoid shocking the world, he still waited a full month
