Chapter 234 The Demon Cultivator Alliance's Mission
Fang Chen looked up and saw that Tianyu was still meditating and regulating his breathing. He didn't know when Zhu Yueyao had transformed into the Blood God Vine and returned to his body.
On the Luna Flower, the phantom of the Moon Goddess also disappeared.
He wanted to put away the Moon Goddess Flower and then head to Tianfeng Fairy City, but Tianyu was exhausted to this extent because of him. Once he took the Moon Goddess Flower away, the concentration of spiritual energy in the bamboo building and even the entire Yuehua Fairy City would decrease.
I'm afraid it won't be good for Tianyu's breathing.
"Any concerns?"
The phantom of the Moon Goddess appeared on the Moon Goddess Flower. Seeing Fang Chen’s inner struggle, she asked directly.
Fang Chen also told the truth.
"This matter is easy to handle."
After understanding the problem, the Moon Goddess waved her hand gently, and a ball of spiritual light condensed from her hand.
“With this spiritual light, even if I’m not here, these Moon Spiritual Herbs can still establish a connection with the Moon Palace through the spiritual light and release spiritual energy.”
After doing all this, Moon Goddess also explained it to Fang Chen.
"Thank you very much."
Fang Chen was overjoyed and picked up the Moon God Flower, ready to store it in the Five Elements Cave Heaven. Then he realized a question: "Senior Moon God, could it be that the moonlight spiritual plants are connected to the Moon God Palace through the light of the Moon God Palace?"
"Yes."
Although she didn’t quite understand the purpose of Fang Chen’s question, Yue Shen still nodded in confirmation.
"Senior Yueyao said earlier that the sun and moon in the current cultivation world are projections of the Moon Palace. If that's the case, why can moonlight plants only establish a connection with the Moon Palace through moonlight? Can't sunlight do the same?"
Fang Chen was thinking of his previous failed attempt to create a plant that could convert sunlight into spiritual energy.
Since the sun and the moon are both projections of the Moon Palace, the properties of their light should not be much different. Why did I fail in the first place?
"You're talking about this. This is the insurance mechanism I left behind. During the daytime in the cultivation world, the Moon God Palace actually changes its position to prevent the Saint Clan from finding its trace through its relationship with the moonlight plants."
Of course, the Moon Goddess knew the answer to this question and was happy to help Fang Chen solve it.
"But I have also seen some spiritual plants that can transform sunlight into pure yang power and moonlight into pure yin power. Isn't this also a way to establish a connection with the Moon Palace at all times? Why don't the Saints use these plants to track the location of the Moon Palace?"
Fang Chen continued to get to the bottom of things.
"The Moon Palace contains the Way of Tai Chi, so it can project the sun and the moon. The plants you mentioned are actually sensitive to the Way of Tai Chi in the light of the Moon Palace. They are completely different from the principles of moonlight plants. When converting pure yang and pure yin power, they will not establish a connection with the Moon Palace."
The Moon Goddess also answered patiently and explained in great detail.
"Then what is the difference between moonlight and spiritual light?"
Both can allow moonlight plants to release spiritual energy.
The difference is that spiritual light can allow moonlight plants to establish a connection with the Moon Palace during the day.
When he created the Yin-Yang Spirit Flower before, he determined that the moonlight and spiritual light were of different natures.
Li Daoxuan used his talent to help Fang Chen detect that there was an extremely rare spiritual component in the moonlight.
If this is the case, then is the key to the moonlight's ability to establish a connection between moonlight plants and the Moon Palace due to the small amount of spiritual light contained in it?
"Both of these, including the sunlight, are the light emitted by the Moon Palace. The difference is that the sunlight and moonlight contain the Way of Tai Chi. The sunlight is the Way of the Sun, while the moonlight is the Way of the Moon. As for the spiritual light, it is indeed the key to establishing a connection with the Moon Palace. I hid it in the moonlight to further conceal it from others."
The Moon Goddess's answer also corresponded to Fang Chen's previous guess. Without any more questions, he first put the Moon Goddess Flower into the Five Elements Cave Heaven, and then left a note on the spot before going down the bamboo building.
Naturally, he was very familiar with everything in Yuehua Fairy City.
He arrived at the teleportation fairy residence with ease and found the teleportation passage to Tianfeng Fairy City. In less than a quarter of an hour, he appeared in Tianfeng Fairy City.
Tianfeng Fairy City also built a teleportation fairy residence, which made Fang Chen not too surprised.
After changing from the Immortal Mansion to the Immortal Residence, the original identity jade card naturally could not be used. Fortunately, Zheng Pingkang was waiting for him directly in the Immortal Residence.
As soon as I saw him, I handed him the new identity jade token.
Fang Chen began to feel that it was urgent to integrate all the identity jade cards.
He now has seven or eight jade identity tags on him.
It must be carried close to the body when in use, and he usually just hangs it on his belt. When he walks, the two collides with each other, making a tinkling sound, making him look like a nobleman.
"Your aura is already equivalent to the seventh level of Qi training?"
While thinking about the identity jade token, Fang Chen could also feel the aura leaking from Zheng Pingkang.
It is estimated that it has just broken through and has not yet completely converged.
"The city lord has a good eye. The power of the Yin spirit is indeed a great help to ghost cultivators like me. If I didn't have to take into account the cultivation of this physical body, I could have made further progress."
Zheng Pingkang doesn't like to show off, but when talking about his improved cultivation, his joy is evident on the surface.
"Yes, my external incarnation has also been improving the cultivation of my physical body recently, and has already reached the third level of Qi training. However, the ghost cultivator's cultivation is one step behind, and is currently only equivalent to the sixth level of Qi training."
Fang Chen could understand what Zheng Pingkang said. After all, the situation of his incarnation was basically the same as his.
Ye Qingyang, Zheng Pingkang and his incarnations all follow the path of ghost cultivators possessing physical bodies.
The difference is that Ye Qingyang possessed his own body, which already had a perfect foundation-building cultivation. On the contrary, the ghost cultivator's cultivation was lower, equivalent to the middle stage of foundation-building.
Zheng Pingkang and his incarnation's bodies were both newly created and had no cultivation, so naturally they also needed some attention.
Only when the physical body's cultivation is consistent with the ghost's cultivation can one exert stronger strength.
"Who is the person sent by Ling Xiao Sword?"
Ye Qingyang did not make this clear in the message, but the other party was the Purple Mansion Sect after all, and even if they only sent one envoy, it represented their attitude, that is, they supported the construction of the next line of defense.
"It's the Sword Master of Lingxiao Sword Sect and his daughter."
Zheng Pingkang answered the question immediately, and then continued, "The Sword Master has been received by City Lord Ye, but his daughter specifically asked to see the City Lord, so City Lord Ye asked you to come."
"The Sword Master actually came in person?"
Fang Chen simply ignored Ling Mengqiu and focused all his attention on the sword master who came in person.
I've heard before that sword cultivators always hate evil, and now it seems to be true.
After all, the Lingxiao Sword Sect is actually on the other side of the Lianyun Mountains and is extremely close to the Central Region. Even if the Eastern Region completely falls, they have a great chance of escaping.
The Sword Master came in person, showing his full sincerity.
How could this be possible if it wasn't for the sense of responsibility to slay demons and eliminate evil?
"Yes."
Zheng Pingkang nodded, and after the greetings, the two of them left the teleportation residence.
"Eh? Why did you come out with him? Never mind, it's good that you're here. But I didn't expect that Tianfeng Sect would be like this. Apart from Senior Ye, you're the only foundation-building cultivator. And I heard from them that Tianfeng Sect has changed its name to Tianfeng Immortal City."
Ling Mengqiu was actually waiting at the door of the teleportation fairy residence.
Fang Chen turned to look at Zheng Pingkang, who could only smile bitterly and said, "She insisted on following me, and there was nothing I could do. I couldn't beat her."
"Is this person also a disciple of your Tianfeng Sect, ah, Tianfeng Immortal City? The aura on his body is really strange. You have to be more careful."
Ling Mengqiu waved his fist provocatively at Zheng Pingkang, and then spoke to Fang Chen in front of him.
In fact, she had been following Zheng Pingkang and also sensed the strange aura from him.
"Don't worry, Lao Zheng is a man you can trust 100%."
Fang Chen smiled and said to Zheng Pingkang, "Let me take care of this girl. You can go and do something else first."
"Okay, City Lord."
Zheng Pingkang received the order and left.
To be honest, he didn't want to stay with Ling Mengqiu.
The fierce sword intent naturally carried a sense of oppression, which made him, a ghost cultivator, very uncomfortable.
"He called you the City Lord? But he also called Senior Ye the City Lord before. Which one of you two is the City Lord of Tianfeng Immortal City? Or are you the Deputy City Lord?"
Zheng Pingkang's address to Fang Chen also attracted Ling Mengqiu's attention, so she asked curiously.
Fang Chen suddenly understood how Yueshen and Tianyu felt towards him.
To be honest, he is more curious about the baby than Ling Mengqiu, but both Yueshen and Tianyu are more patient than him.
After all, their previous cultivation levels were there, and their character was not comparable to that of Fang Chen, who had just embarked on the path of Taoism.
"The man you just mentioned with a strange aura is the deputy city lord of Tianfeng Immortal City. They call me the city lord probably out of habit."
Fang Chen also answered truthfully.
In fact, these people are very clear about the differences. If you add a surname in front of the city lord, it means he is the city lord of Xiancheng.
For example, Tianfeng Immortal City, Taiji Immortal City, and the Dragon King Immortal City to be established in the future, the title of City Lord refers specifically to Fang Chen.
This distinction would have always been made before the establishment of the Immortal Dynasty.
"Habit? I see. Senior Ye was in seclusion to condense the golden elixir, and you, as the only foundation-building cultivator, served as the mayor of Tianfeng Immortal City, right?"
Based on Fang Chen's answer, Ling Mengqiu also made a guess.
Fang Chen just smiled and didn't make any excuses.
Seeing him like this, Ling Mengqiu thought he agreed, and said, "In that case, you should be very familiar with Tianfeng Fairy City. Is there anything fun here?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, young lady. Tianfeng Immortal City is a place for cultivation, there is no entertainment to speak of."
Fang Chen shook his head, mainly because he didn't know much about Tianfeng Immortal City.
Especially after more than a month, a lot of changes have taken place here.
"But I noticed that all disciples of Tianfeng Immortal City have a jade slip that can communicate with everyone else. It's not like ordinary jade slips that can only communicate one-on-one. It's very interesting, but I offered a spiritual sword to that person in exchange, but he refused to do it."
Ling Mengqiu refuted immediately, using the example of the jade slips that were standard equipment for all residents of the Immortal City.
Unexpectedly, she discovered one of the functions of Zi Yu Jian in such a short time.
"That's easy. If your father and Senior Ye have reached an agreement on the construction of the next section of the defense line, Tianfeng Immortal City will also provide your sect with some jade slips of this type to facilitate communication."
Exchanging the magic sword for the jade slip is really a generous move.
The worst spiritual sword would cost at least three or four thousand spirit stones, but the Jade Slip was not worth much.
However, without the Jade Slip, it would be difficult to move around in Tianfeng Fairy City. Exchanging it for just a magic sword was indeed not cost-effective in the long run.
"That's good!"
Ling Mengqiu was very excited and seemed to be looking forward to chatting with different people through jade slips.
Fang Chen's expression changed, not because of Ling Mengqiu, but because his incarnation had just received news from the Demon Cultivator Alliance that the deadline for the mission he had accepted was approaching.
Today is the second update, also 3,000 words, and there are still 8,000 words left to be paid.
