A Hundred Years Old
Time flies when cultivating immortality; two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Cold Mountain Valley, Fang Yu opened his eyes, and it seemed as if lotus flowers were blooming in his eyes, slowly rotating. The aura on his body had reached the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer Great Perfection.
Fang Yu did some calculations with his fingers, and felt a mix of emotions.
"Before we knew it, he was already a hundred years old, so he only has two hundred more years to live."
Reaching the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer Great Perfection at the age of one hundred, while not necessarily a sign of exceptional talent in the Dao of Qi Refining, is certainly a step ahead of others.
As far as he knew, within the territory of the sects of the Three Kingdoms of the Western Extremity, those who could reach the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection before the age of 150 were considered geniuses.
He is only a hundred years old and has already reached the Foundation Establishment Perfection. Even within the Golden Core sect, he would be considered a genius.
Of course, the reason he was able to do it so quickly was because he used the power of the Yuanchen Pearl Primordial Qi the Foundation Establishment, which allowed him to skip the Foundation Establishment Early Stage and Middle Stage and directly reach the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
If he were to cultivate normally, even with ample spiritual resources, the initial accumulation period would certainly take several decades.
I have now reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, and the next step is to plan for the fortuitous opportunity needed to form the Core.
As for Core Formation, he could try it right now, but the success rate would be dozens of times lower than Foundation Establishment. Without the help of a Core Formation-enhancing spiritual item, he would fail 99% of the time.
The best spiritual item for forming a Golden Core is the third-tier elixir, the "Golden Core Formation Pill." It is said that consuming this item can increase the success rate of forming a Golden Core by 20%, and even if it fails, it can save one's life, preventing immediate death.
This ' Golden Core Formation Pill ' is many times more precious than the Foundation Establishment Pill. The Pill Formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill can be purchased with Spirit Stone, and the necessary materials can be obtained with a little bit of luck and a fortuitous opportunity to risk everything.
However, even the Pill Formula for Golden Core Formation Pill is extremely precious. There is nowhere to buy it, even if you have Spirit Stone. The required spiritual materials would take Golden Core sect like the Cloud Spirit Sect countless years to gather.
He wanted to form his core, and the first step was to obtain the Pill Formula. Then he would look for spiritual materials. As for refining, that was the simplest thing for him. Even though Golden Core Formation Pill was a third-tier pill, Fang Yu was confident that as long as he had the Pill Formula and materials, he could definitely refine it.
Fang Yu pondered for a moment, then turned to look in the direction of the Cloud Spirit Sect's mountain gate.
Mosquito Immortal City has been attacking Cloud Spirit Sect for several years. Except for the area where Cloud Spirit Sect Sect's mountain gate is located, almost all of the Cloud Spirit Sect's forces within the Chu Kingdom have changed their allegiance. Although they have not explicitly switched to Mosquito Immortal City, they are either observing or taking the opportunity to expand their power, annexing other small cultivation Aristocratic Clan, robbing various markets, and occupying spiritual lands.
Just like the Zhuang Household, after gaining a Foundation Establishment Ancestor, they went out to attack everywhere, plundering and looting a large amount of spiritual resources, and also took over several first-order Spirit Vein, allowing the Zhuang Household's power to expand rapidly.
Now, only the mountain gate of the Cloud Spirit Sect is still putting up a stubborn resistance, while the Golden Core sects of the other two countries have not made any moves. It is likely that Mosquito Immortal City has already reached an agreement with them, or perhaps they are also watching to see if the Cloud Spirit Sect can turn the tide.
After all, the Cloud Spirit Sect is Golden Core sect that has existed for over a thousand years, and it must have a strong foundation. Until the very end, no one knows who will win.
However, for Fang Yu, this war was not in any suspense. Over the years, he had been having the Zhuang Household collect intelligence from the front lines and make calculations from time to time. The result was still that Mosquito Immortal City would be 'lucky'.
The most likely place for him to seek the opportunity to form his fortuitous opportunity is the Cloud Spirit Sect.
However, with the current Cloud Spirit Sect patriarch, Fairy Cloud Spirit, hiding in the shadows and relying on a third-tier grand formation and third-tier Spirit Vein for support, Daoist Thousand Insects will find it difficult to defeat her in a short time, and it is unknown how long it will take.
Of course, it's not uncommon for a great war in the cultivation world to last for decades or even centuries. Fairy Cloud Spirit is prepared to die of old age within the sect, Mosquito Immortal City probably won't be able to do anything about it. Therefore, this great war still needs some variables.
Fang Yu stroked his chin as he thought of this, then turned to look in the direction of Autumn Moon Mountain.
The root of the chaos in the Western Extremity lies in the Pingling Mine in Autumn Moon Mountain. Now that the Mosquito Immortal City controls the mine, it must have swallowed up the share that originally belonged to the Cloud Spirit Sect, or divided it with the other two sects, which is why we are now in a state of observation.
After all, the spirit mine is located within the territory of the Cloud Spirit Sect, and the other two countries are too far away to reach it. The most beneficial way for them is to watch Mosquito Immortal City replace the Cloud Spirit Sect, and they can also obtain more spirit mines in the meantime.
If you want to create variables, then this is the place to start.
"Buzzing..."
With a soft buzzing sound, Fang Yu produced an array plate in his hand, within which countless Gu worms could be faintly seen gathering into a cloud.
This ' Lesser Thousand-Needle Nether River Formation ' and the third-tier array of the Autumn Moon Mountain Spirit Mine share the same origin. Even if the Array Master Zong later changed the core array patterns, the basic array foundation would not have changed much. Based on his understanding of this array, breaking it should not be a problem.
If they could seize the opportunity to occupy the Autumn Moon Mountain spirit mine, it would be a classic case of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao," leaving Mosquito Immortal City with only two options.
First, Daoist Thousand Insects abandoned the siege of the Cloud Spirit Sect's mountain gate and came to attack Autumn Moon Mountain, but this gave Fairy Cloud Spirit an opportunity to escape.
Secondly, with Daoist Thousand Insects remaining still and Daoist Mosquito leaving Mosquito Immortal City to attack Autumn Moon Mountain, Mosquito Immortal City will be without Golden Core cultivator in charge. It's uncertain whether the other two countries will continue to observe; they might even take the opportunity to seize Mosquito Immortal City and raze this sacred land of Rogue Cultivator located at the border of the three countries to the ground.
Third, neither the Daoist Thousand Insects nor the Daoist Mosquito made any move, only sending Foundation Establishment cultivators.
If that's the case, he could easily withstand the attack with his third-tier grand formation and occupy the Autumn Moon Mountain spirit mine. Even if he only occupies it for a year or two, the amount of mid-grade Spirit Stone he digs out will definitely be enormous.
Of course, this is only the ideal situation. More likely, he will have to face an attack from Golden Core True Person. However, he is confident that as long as he has enough time to connect the great formation with the earth veins, he can hold out for a year or two even if Golden Core ancestor comes in person.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu stretched out his palm and made some calculations based on his senses:
[fierce]
Well, there are still too many variables in this plan. If we want it to succeed, we need to plan carefully and take every variable into account. Only in this way can we truly change the auspicious fate of ' Mosquito Immortal City '.
Fang Yu then closed his eyes, pondering the various possible variables and devising solutions. In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
Fang Yu once again calculated the new plan:
[Little fierce]
"Hmm! It's gone from bad to slightly bad. It seems my plan still has many variables. Just thinking about it won't increase the chances of success anymore; I need to take action."
"First, we'll make some preliminary preparations, then adjust according to the actual situation, until things turn from bad to good before we actually take action."
Thinking of this, Fang Yu flicked his hand, sending a communication talisman flying out. Before long, Zhuang Xian arrived.
The two sat down and drank tea. Fang Yu then said, "I have an immense fortuitous opportunity to offer to the Zhuang Household. Are you willing to risk your entire Lineage to gamble it? If you win, you will soar to the heavens; if you lose, your entire clan will be wiped out."
Zhuang Xian was immediately startled upon hearing this. Looking at the faint smile on Fang Yu's face, his thoughts raced.
