From dual spiritual roots to a sword master with all attributes

In the temporary cave, Fang Xiao was looking through his Demon-Slaying Order. The contribution value displayed on the order was over 20,000.

During this period of time, he had killed thousands of various monsters. Looking at the mountains of monster corpses in his more than ten storage bags, he realized that he had to return to Linyuan City.

However, before that, he still had a few things to deal with. The first was to deal with the corpses of the monsters. For example, he could use the monster's essence and blood to brew essence and blood wine. In short, he had to keep the materials that were useful to him. As for the rest, Linyuan City had the task of purchasing unlimited monster materials and monster souls. At that time, he would pack up all the unnecessary things and sell them to Linyuan City.

There was also the monkey wine that he got from the second-level King Kong Ape. He tasted a cup of it when he just returned to the cave. At that time, a powerful spiritual energy was generated in his body, which almost broke his meridians that had been strengthened many times. After refining this spiritual energy, his meridians also suffered minor damage. However, Fang Xiao found that his cultivation level had taken a big step forward compared to the previous speed of improvement.

He roughly estimated that if he ignored the damage to his meridians, he would only need half a gourd of monkey wine to reach the peak of the eighth level of Qi training ahead of time. There were also three meridian protecting pills and two meridian nourishing pills in his storage bag, which should be enough to protect his meridians.

Therefore, he planned to cultivate here until he reached a bottleneck, and then return to Linyuan City to break through the bottleneck. As long as his cultivation reached the ninth level of Qi training, his strength would be raised to another level, and then even if he went deeper into Yunmengze, it would not be too dangerous.

Just when Fang Xiao was using Monkey Wine to improve his cultivation, his reputation had already spread throughout the Tianlan Sect and the major outer academies. The Demon-Slaying Order was connected to the sect's Demon-Slaying List, and the contribution value was updated in real time. His contribution value of more than 20,000 at this time had already firmly occupied the top spot in the Qi Refining Stage, while the contribution value of the second place was only over 10,000.

How many monsters would it take to kill more than 20,000 contributions? Not only the sect, but most of the low-level cultivators have heard of his reputation. A killer embryo appeared in the Tianlan Holy Land. When it comes to eliminating monsters, he is a monster who is more capable than the geniuses of his generation.

Of course, after the news spread, there were those who believed it, those who doubted it, and those who were eager to try it. In short, Fang Xiao was well-known among the low-level cultivators in the Eastern Region's immortal cultivation world. Some people even gave him a nickname - Lingxiao Sword Master, and the sect also tacitly accepted this title.

……

At this time, Fang Xiao had successfully reached the bottleneck of breaking through the ninth level of Qi training. The meridian protecting and nourishing pills were all used up, but his meridians were intact. They had even become wider and tougher because of multiple breakthroughs to the limit.

There was nothing to take away in the temporary cave, so after putting away the formation, he left the place where he had lived for half a year. The return journey was relatively safe, so he took out the wind-controlling boat and rushed towards Linyuan City at full speed.

On the way back, there were occasionally cultivators or monsters, but he ignored them and simply passed them by.

There were no incidents along the way. After entering Linyuan City, he planned to go back to the outer courtyard’s base in Linyuan City to find out if there was any news that needed attention recently.

On the way back to the base, people kept pointing and talking about me, some were smiling and bowing, and even a few female cultivators came up to talk to me. I was a little confused.

After sending them off one by one, he finally returned to the base. A sharp-eyed disciple saw him and shouted at him.

"Senior Brother Fang Xiao is back."

"???"

Fang Xiao is still confused until now.

When the disciples saw Fang Xiao, they all came forward respectfully and called him "Senior Brother Fang".

"Junior Brother Fang, it's been a long time since we last met."

At this time, a voice was heard, and the person who came was Yan Tingyun.

"Uncle Yan, what on earth is going on?"

"You don't know yet, come with me."

Yan Tingyun brought Fang Xiao to a secluded place and told him about Ling Xiao Swordsman along the way.

Fang Xiao didn't expect that it would have such a big impact.

"Please keep this. The dean is quite busy, so he asked me to pass it to you."

Yan Tingyun handed him a jade bottle.

Fang Xiao pulled out the cork, and the familiar aroma of medicine spread out. He then quickly put the cork back in and sealed the jade bottle.

"Foundation Pill?"

"That's right. The sect has decided to send you the reward in advance. It can be seen that the sect's top leaders are very optimistic about you."

"No one has any objections then?"

"If you succeed in building your foundation, would you still be afraid of those gossips? Or do you lack the confidence to succeed in building your foundation?"

"Uncle Master is right. It's just a small bottleneck in the foundation building process. I can break it with a flip of my hand."

"...I hope that next time we meet, we can address each other as brothers."

Yan Tingyun left gracefully, leaving Fang Xiao alone here.

He also fell into deep thought. The sect obviously wanted me to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage as soon as possible, but he didn't know why. It was useless to think too much. As long as I was strong enough, everything would become clear.

In this case, he needs to make new plans. Exorcising the monster can only be put aside for the time being. Everything should be based on breaking through the foundation first.

With Monkey Wine, it won't take half a year for my cultivation to reach the peak of Qi Refining. After consolidating it, I can try to build the foundation.

However, before practicing, he had to take care of many matters first. Fang Xiao first came to the task stele, canceled the original reconnaissance mission, accepted the task of purchasing monster materials, and came to the task submission point.

"I'll submit the mission and the monster materials."

"Well, then please take out the materials. I still need to identify them."

"Here? I have more materials."

"Whatever you can, put it here."

This person obviously does not realize the seriousness of the matter.

Fang Xiao took out a dozen storage bags and activated a little spiritual power. The storage bags opened at the same time, and dozens of corpses like small mountains piled up higher and higher.

The cultivators present were all stunned. They had never seen such a scene before. Some cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage were alarmed and rushed over. After recognizing Fang Xiao, the Lingxiao Sword Master, they said that the appraisal quantity was relatively large and the exchanged spirit stones would be sent to them later.

Fang Xiao nodded in agreement and handed the soul storage banner to him. The foundation-building cultivator was secretly amazed when he saw the demon soul in the banner. It would be as easy for this Lingxiao swordsman to kill a first-level demon beast as slaughtering a chicken. He even had nearly ten second-level demon beasts. The rumor that his strength was comparable to that of the foundation-building stage was indeed not groundless.

After dealing with the monster materials, Fang Xiao came to Wanbao Pavilion. He needed to prepare quite a lot of meridian protecting pills this time, especially for breaking through the foundation building. The first-level meridian protecting pills might not be enough, so he needed to prepare a few second-level meridian protecting pills.

The guys at Wanbao Pavilion were as polite and hospitable as ever. Regarding Fang Xiao's request to buy a second-tier meridian protecting pill, they said they would ask the shopkeeper. After all, Fang Xiao was only in the Qi Refining Stage, and second-tier pills were only available on the second floor, which only those in the Foundation Establishment Stage could access.

"Then go ask the shopkeeper."

A moment later, a female foundation-building cultivator dressed in cool clothes came back with her servant.

"I didn't find that it was Ling Xiao Jianzi from Tian Lan Sect. I was negligent."

It has become quite popular recently, and this cool shopkeeper recognized Fang Xiao's identity on the spot.

"How could that be? I just want to buy a second-level meridian protection pill. I wonder if it's possible."

"Jian Zi has already reached the foundation-building stage. My Wanbao Pavilion is very optimistic about Jian Zi's future. This is the VIP certificate of Wanbao Pavilion. No matter where you go to Wanbao Pavilion, you can enjoy a 95% discount forever."

The cool shopkeeper handed Fang Xiao a purple jade plate with the words "Wanbao" engraved on it.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. We'll go up to the second floor again when we have a chance. This time I only need the second-level meridian protection pill."

"Okay, no problem. I'll have someone get it. Wait a moment."

During this moment, the cool shopkeeper asked Fang Xiao some strange questions, such as what kind of female cultivator he liked and so on.

Fang Xiao also dealt with it awkwardly, not knowing why the guy was so slow.

Soon all the pills he needed were delivered to him. After paying the spirit stones and thanking the shopkeeper, Fang Xiao fled from Wanbao Pavilion in a panic. He could still hear the shopkeeper's giggles from a distance.

I am kidding. I want to be a Pure Yang Sword Immortal in the future. How can I allow female cultivators to have bad intentions towards me? Female cultivators will only affect the speed of my sword drawing, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Putting aside these messy thoughts, now that everything is ready, I will return to the base and start practicing in seclusion.
