Eternal Life: I hold the door to eternal life

The Five Qi Yuan Yang Cauldron is a low-grade Taoist artifact. It looks only about ten feet tall from the outside, but there is a whole new world inside. As soon as Fang Han and Fang Qingxue entered the Five Qi Yuan Yang Cauldron, they came to the center of the formation inside the cauldron. Looking around, there were flickering light spots and crisscrossing light and shadow lines all around, operating in an orderly manner following a specific law.

At this time, in front of Fang Han and Fang Qingxue stood a stone tablet about the height of a person, and beside them stood a boy of seven or eight years old. When the boy saw Fang Han and the others appear, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Yuanyang greets the master, greets the mistress."

Even though Fang Qingxue was a calm person, she felt a little embarrassed when she heard the child calling her "mistress". Just as she was about to scold him, Fang Han scolded her first, "You ignorant child, who told you to recognize relatives randomly? This is my cousin Fang Qingxue. If you call the wrong person again, I will beat your butt into eight pieces!"

After scolding the child, Fang Han explained to Qingxue with an embarrassed look on his face: "This child is the spirit 'Yuan Yang' of the Five Qi Yuan Yang Cauldron. This little guy has just begun to gain wisdom and still doesn't understand many things. Qingxue, don't bother with him."

"Oh, it turns out to be Aunt Fang. Yuanyang recognized the wrong person just now. Please don't blame me, Aunt." The young boy Yuanyang said seriously.

Fang Qingxue saw that Yuan Yang was cute and fair, but pretended to be serious, which was really lovable. She couldn't help but smile at Yuan Yang. Then she returned to her indifferent expression and said to Fang Han: "Business is more important, let's see what's going on outside first."

Without waiting for Fang Han's instructions, Yuan Yang had already waved his hand cleverly. Suddenly, a circle of light appeared around him, reflecting the situation outside clearly.

The situation outside the Five Qi Yuan Yang Cauldron had changed drastically. The originally dark space was now filled with countless demons and dark red mist. However, these demons did not pounce directly on the Five Qi Yuan Yang Cauldron. Instead, they circled around the Five Qi Yuan Yang Cauldron. Soon, countless demons stirred the dark red mist, forming a black and red tornado with the Five Qi Yuan Yang Cauldron as the center.

As soon as the storm formed, Fang Han and Fang Qingxue in the Five Qi Yuan Yang Cauldron noticed something unusual. The light spots that were originally moving in an orderly manner suddenly slowed down, and it seemed that an invisible force was trying to pull the formation in the Yuan Qi Yuan Yang Cauldron out. Seeing this, Yuan Yang jumped up without waiting for Fang Han's orders and merged into the stone tablet in front of Fang Han.

With the Five Qi Yuan Yang Cauldron and the blessing of Yuan Yang, the slowness of the formation operation suddenly disappeared. But the good times did not last long. After only one or two minutes, the slowness of the formation operation in the cauldron appeared again. At the same time, Yuan Yang's childish voice was also anxious: "Master, there is a strong pulling force outside, which is trying to suck and devour the Yuan Qi in the cauldron. Please help me stabilize the Yuan Qi in the cauldron."

Upon hearing this, Fang Han stretched out a hand without hesitation and placed it on the Yuanyang Stele, and a strong magical power immediately poured into the Yuanyang Stele. The Yuanyang Stele suddenly lit up, and the Five Qi Yuanyang Cauldron returned to normal. At the same time, Fang Han also felt a strong suction force coming, which made Fang Han almost unable to control the magical power in his body. Fang Han hurriedly guarded the spiritual platform, controlling the magic power in his body to slowly pour into the Yuanyang Stele, resisting the suction force from the outside world.

After stabilizing the Five Qi Yuan Yang Cauldron, Fang Han immediately recounted his own experience and asked, "Senior Sister Qingxue, I have only recently entered the world of immortal cultivation and my experience is far less than yours. Do you know what method the Seven Leaf Demon Lord used? Is there a way to break it?"

Fang Qingxue pondered for a moment: "There are too many magic arrays with suction effects, and I can't tell them apart at the moment. You stay for a while and see if there are any other changes. We will respond accordingly."

Not long after Fang Qingxue finished speaking, Yan's solemn voice suddenly rang out in Fang Han's mind: "Fang Han, you have to be careful. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the 'Demon God Devouring Heaven Formation'. Although the power of this formation has not yet been fully exerted, in the long run, even if you and Fang Qingxue have Taoist weapons to protect yourselves, you will not be able to stop this formation. But you are not without a chance."

Fang Han saw Yan was talking halfway and stopped talking. He couldn't help but feel dissatisfied and said angrily, "Yan, it's already this late, can you please be more straightforward and say everything you want to say at once?"

Yan said calmly, "Why rush? I am just guessing now. I need to see the subsequent changes of this formation and the power it can exert before I can formulate a countermeasure."

"Although the current suction force of this formation can't cause any substantial harm to me, my energy consumption is still quite large. We can't just let the other party do whatever they want. We must have some way to counter it, right?" Fang Han said in a deep voice.

"If it were just you, I would have broken this bird formation long ago." Yan said angrily, "But Fang Qingxue is right in front of me. If I use the Yellow Springs Map, it will be exposed. Aren't you afraid that Fang Qingxue will cause trouble for you?"

"This..." Fang Han hesitated after hearing this. After a moment, he asked again: "Yan, with my current strength, what are my chances of winning against Qingxue who is holding a top-grade Taoist weapon?"

"No chance of winning!" Yan Ji said bluntly, "However, you can compete with Fang Qingxue, and she can't do anything to you."

"Well, am I so powerful now? When I first met Fang Qingxue, I was just an ant in the physical realm, and she could easily kill me. Now I can actually compete with her. It seems that I am practicing very quickly!" Fang Han boasted and said with a smile: "Hehe, if that's the case, then there is nothing to be afraid of. The fact that I am carrying the Yellow Spring Map will be known to others sooner or later. As long as my strength is enough to protect the Yellow Spring Map, I will expose it. But... I will let you do it later, and you can do it later."

Fang Han explained to Yan, then turned to Fang Qingxue and said, "Qingxue, I suddenly remembered something. I remember you said when I first entered Yuhua Sect that you lost a treasure in Longyuan Province. Is this treasure the Huangquan Summoning Map of Emperor Huangquan?"

When Fang Han was weak, Fang Qingxue had carefully investigated Fang Han with her divine sense, but she did not find the existence of the Yellow Spring Map. After that, she tried to test Fang Han with words several times, but Fang Han did not reveal his true intentions. Now, several months have passed, and Fang Qingxue has already determined that the Yellow Spring Map is not on Fang Han. Suddenly, when she heard Fang Han mention the Yellow Spring Map again, an idea suddenly came to her mind. Looking at Fang Han coldly, she said angrily:

"Is the Yellow Springs Map really in your possession? I once told you that if you dare to lie to me, I will make you suffer a fate of life or death..."

"Qingxue, listen to me first!" Fang Han saw Fang Qingxue getting angry, and hurriedly said, "I really didn't lie to you. I got this Huangquan Map from a demon cultivator when I came to the sea this time. After I refined it, I realized that this was the treasure you lost in Longyuan Province. You can't wrongly accuse me. Yan, come out and meet my cousin."

As soon as Fang Han finished speaking, Yan immediately transformed into a dark yellow dragon and emerged from Fang Han's body, laughing, "Ha ha ha ha, nice to meet fellow Daoist Fang Qingxue!"

When Fang Qingxue saw Yan appear, the coldness in her eyes became even stronger. "Humph, you have restored the Yellow Springs Map to this extent, and you actually told me that you just got it not long ago. Fang Han, do you really think I'm a fool?"

Fang Han was about to explain, but Yan spoke first: "Fang Qingxue, you already have the Thunder Emperor Talisman, a top-grade Taoist artifact. Even if you get the Yellow Springs Map, it is just icing on the cake. Why do you have to embarrass Fang Han for the broken Yellow Springs Map? Besides, with Fang Han's current cultivation, plus the Taoist artifact Five Qi Yuan Yang Cauldron, and me. Do you think that a top-grade Taoist artifact can really do anything to Fang Han?"

"Hmph, we won't know until we try it." Fang Qingxue's face was solemn when she heard that, and she had already sacrificed the Thunder Emperor's talisman.

Seeing Fang Qingxue was about to take action, Fang Han quickly said, "Qingxue, Yan is right. If you attack me now, it will inevitably end up in a situation where both sides suffer losses, and the Seven Leaf Demon Lord outside will reap the benefits. Regardless of whether I lied to you before, I have always been grateful for your kindness in introducing me to the immortal path, and I respect you very much. We could have worked together on the immortal path, do you really want to regard me as your enemy for the Yellow Spring Map?"

Fang Qingxue knew that with Fang Han's current strength, she had no chance of winning. But she still said stubbornly: "I hate it most when others deceive me. I gave you a chance at the beginning. The current situation is also caused by you. Even if you are now stronger, I will not let you go."

"Well, if you want to lie, then lie!" Fang Han shook his head helplessly, then looked at Fang Qingxue with a firm face, and said word by word: "Even if I lied to you about the Yellow Spring Map, so what? I still remember the words you said when you set up the Shura Field outside the gate of Yuhuamen that day, just as you said. People in the immortal way are all selfish. I got the Yellow Spring Map by chance, and that was my chance, so I naturally wouldn't give it to others. In order to avoid disasters caused by the Yellow Spring Map, I hid it. Even if I lied to you at the beginning, it was just to protect myself. Now I'm honest with you about this matter because I think you are someone I can trust. If you still hold on to this matter, then you can do it."

Fang Han was heartbroken for Fang Qingxue, and then ignored her. He turned to Yan and said, "Yan, prepare to break the formation!"

Although Fang Han's words were well-reasoned, Fang Qingxue was a person who could not tolerate any sand in her eyes. If it was someone else, Fang Qingxue would not have argued with him for so long, and would have used the Thunder Emperor Talisman to kill him. But Fang Qingxue hated and annoyed Fang Han. Because of the existence of the Minor Fate Art, she still had a little fear of Fang Han, and did not dare to kill him easily.

For a moment, Fang Qingxue was at a loss. She looked at Fang Han coldly, but she really didn't know how to deal with the person in front of her.
