Chapter 70: Doing A Transaction
Entering Lang Ya blessed land again, Fang Yuan did not enter the cloud building's room like last time.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng came out of Fang Yuan's immortal aperture, upon seeing this, he said: "A battle had occurred here not long ago. It seems that Lang Ya land spirit was really in trouble."
Fang Yuan did not speak, he only looked at the twelve cloud buildings far away.
These twelve buildings had their respective features, some had immortal cranes flying around them, some had feathermen living in them, some had beautiful auroras, while some had the smell of incense.
But right now, only eight of these twelve buildings were intact, the remaining three were in bad shape, walls were collapsed and structures were crumbling.
"What happened? We are already in Lang Ya blessed land, yet the land spirit has yet to appear?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng frowned, feeling very alert in his heart.
"Let's go in and see first." Fang Yuan pondered.
The two flew over, slowly getting close to the twelve cloud buildings.
"Quickly look, there is a desolate beast corpse there!" After moving for some time, Tai Bai Yun Sheng suddenly pointed at one direction, saying.
Only to see that a huge fish was lying on the cloud soil, not moving.
"This is the desolate beast, spinefin star dragonfish." Fang Yuan said.
"Oh? Someone came in." In a dark secret room, Lang Ya land spirit opened his eyes, sensing Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
In front of him, there was a Gu Immortal. He was middle aged and had a mighty disposition, his appearance was not that of a normal man, he had black skin and white hair, he was an inkman Gu Immortal.
"What? Another strong foe?" The inkman Gu Immortal heard the land spirit and became nervous.
"Oh, it is that rascal! Pfft, he scared me. No worry, I know this person. Half a year ago, he came here before." After Lang Ya land spirit focused his mind to detect them, he breathed out deeply.
The inkman Gu Immortal raised his brows in surprise, he did not think that there would be other guests coming to Lang Ya blessed land besides himself.
"Since they are friends and not foes, then all is well. It has been three days and three nights since we entered the secret room, in just a moment, we can release one layer of the seals on you. At this time, we cannot be disturbed." The inkman Gu Immortal's heart settled.
"But we cannot let them near the cloud building. Old friend, you might not know this, but that kid is crafty and scheming, he is Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's inheritor, I suffered a loss from him in the past. Let me mobilize the desolate beast and stop him from coming temporarily." Lang Ya land spirit gritted his teeth and said.
"We've been in here for so long, yet Lang Ya land spirit has not appeared yet, it seems something huge happened here! The attack on Lang Ya blessed land was definitely not done by one person. Such a force is not to be trifled with, we should search the battlefield and retreat for now."
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was speaking, when suddenly, a large 'golden metallic mountain rock' drilled out of the cloud soil.
The 'cubic rock' moved quickly, blocking the way of the two.
"Swamp Crab!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng readied himself to face this enemy.
The swamp crab blocked their path, Tai Bai Yun Sheng stopped in his tracks and asked Fang Yuan: "What do we do now?"
Fang Yuan's gaze was locked on the desolate beast, he said one word: "Fight."
"Be careful." Tai Bai Yun Sheng nodded, swiftly retreating, pulling some distance from Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan floated in the air, looking at the swamp crab silently. Next, he breathed in deeply, straightened his back and stretched his eight arms.
At the next moment, Fang Yuan moved, his body was like a meteor crashing towards the swamp crab.
The swamp crab was huge, but it was unbelievably agile, nine pairs of legs moved quickly, as it dodged sideways.
But Fang Yuan was a flying master, even though it seemed like he would miss, with just a turn, he crashed into the swamp crab's back.
Bam!
With a thunderous sound, the swamp crab was pushed into the ground by Fang Yuan's forceful impact.
"Very good." Fang Yuan's gaze was cold and dark, he breathed in deeply and activated the killer move, myriad self!
With the expenditure of one bead of green grape immortal essence, he activated the core Immortal Gu.
Fang Yuan's eight fists pounded at the swamp crab below him.
Bam bam bam…
Each fist exploded with a formless fist qi, the shadows of the fists were flying as his punches rained down like a torrential storm!
Thousands of fist qi slammed on the swamp crab's back, causing its hard shell to become deformed. The fist qi that dispersed formed and gathered, becoming one of Fang Yuan's strength path phantoms.
Ten breaths later, an army of strength path phantoms formed on the swamp crab's back.
"This is…" Tai Bai Yun Sheng was shocked, this was the first time he had seen this killer move.
The strength path phantom army surrounded the swamp crab, and the crab army collapsed at once, the swamp crab was unable to endure the attacks and cried out, trying to put up resistance, but it could not prevent its imminent defeat.
No matter how many strength path phantoms it killed, Fang Yuan continued to attack, and more strength path phantoms were produced every moment.
"Ahhhh, my desolate beast! What killer move did this rascal use, I have never seen it, it is actually so strong! This killer move has definitely got to be an immortal killer move!" In the secret room, Lang Ya land spirit could see all that was going on, he lost his cool as he started shouting.
"You rascal, entering my home without a word and also injuring my desolate beast, how will you compensate me?!" Lang Ya land spirit furiously chided Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan stared at the shackles around Lang Ya land spirit, frowning: "You have been sealed, no wonder I could not hear any news of your divine sense in treasure yellow heaven. According to northern plains' time, we have not met for merely more than half a year, how could you end up like this?"
Lang Ya land spirit's eyes opened even wider as he snarkily retorted: "Talk about yourself, how did you become like this? Neither human nor ghost! Advancing to a Gu Immortal and yet degenerating into a zombie, hehe, you should still have plenty of lifespan though."
"Hmph, Lang Ya land spirit, you have lived for so many years yet you don't even know the simplest logic of give and take? Only by giving up one thing can you gain another, if I didn't turn into a zombie, how could I be in front of you again and hold such powerful strength? But you, the longer you lived, the more you regress, now you can't even refine Gu.
You are really making your main body lose face." Fang Yuan sneered, intentionally provoking the land spirit.
Lang Ya land spirit started cursing at Fang Yuan: "You shitty kid, you still have the nerve to talk about me? True Yang Building's fall was definitely caused by you, right?! Hehe, so many people died, two super forces lost their tribe leaders, the whole of northern plains' Gu Immortals are searching for you, the main culprit. You are now everyone's target, your life must be pretty hard now, right!"
The inkman Gu Immortal and Tai Bai Yun Sheng's expressions changed.
The inkman Gu Immortal's pupils shrunk slightly, feeling an intense urge to cover the land spirit's mouth.
'How could you blurt out such a matter? Are you not afraid those two will attack to silence us?!' The inkman Gu Immortal's heart could not help but tremble with fear; these two were actually the people who had turned northern plains on its head and even wrecked Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's arrangements! Too dangerous! The situation was going south!
The next moment, both Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng gazed coldly at the inkman Gu Immortal.
"Lang Ya land spirit, why are you not introducing us to this person?" Fang Yuan chuckled, his voice was so hoarse that it was borderline uncomfortable to hear.
The inkman Gu Immortal summoned his courage and stood up, greeting: "My name is Mo Tan Sang, I live in inkman city and am the king of northern plains' inkmen."
Fang Yuan lightly praised: "So it is the Inkman King, sure enough, you have a majestic aura beyond that of ordinary people."
"I am not worthy of such high praise." Inkman King quickly replied modestly.
He took the initiative to explain: "Lang Ya land spirit and I have been very good friends for many years. In truth, inkman city has always had close relations with Lang Ya blessed land. We in inkman city have some attainment in qi path, and it turns out Lang Ya land spirit was sealed using a qi path method. Thus I hurried over to help.
Sir is a dragon who roams the sky, stirring up a storm and causing the whole of northern plains to be in a state of unrest. I cannot help but admire such grandeur. All along, our inkman city has been jointly suppressed by the Huang Jin tribes. Back then, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was even more overboard, demanding inkman cities to offer tribute in terms of countless female inkmen.
In a way, you have helped us inkmen take revenge by destroying Imperial Court blessed land. You are also the land spirit's friends, so you are my, Mo Tan Sang's, friends as well. If you have any plans in the future, feel free to visit inkman city."
"Who is friends with this rascal?" Lang Ya land spirit shouted in dissatisfaction.
Fang Yuan nodded to the Inkman King, replying with deep intent: "If there is an opportunity, I will definitely come to experience life in inkman city."
He then looked at Lang Ya land spirit and continued provoking him without concern: "Land spirit, even if I am not your friend, you should still welcome me and refine a Gu for me. Did you forget I still have two chances left to make you refine Gu! If I want you to refine Gu, you will do it even if you don't want to!"
Lang Ya land spirit could not put up a facade at all, his temper flaring up immediately.
"You damned scoundrel, I am so angry, my anger is going to explode!" Lang Ya land spirit shouted, his face completely red with fury.
But suddenly, he grinned with happiness: "Ahahaha, I am trapped, this qi path seal is too troublesome, there are a total of seventeen or eighteen layers of seals. Just now, Inkman King only unsealed the first layer! Hahaha, I really can't help you refine Gu right now, my hands are tied, this is wonderful!"
Fang Yuan coughed before speaking solemnly: "Alright, let's talk about serious affairs. Since you can't refine Gu, forget about it. I have another matter for coming over this time, I want to make a transaction with you."
"Transaction, what transaction?" Lang Ya land spirit asked.
"The transaction is simple, you should remember the thing about me being a wisdom path Gu Master, right? I will deduce Immortal Gu recipes for you while you will pay immortal essence stones as remuneration. This is a win-win deal." Fang Yuan replied.
"Deduce Gu recipes?" Lang Ya land spirit opened his eyes wide as he became dazed, but at the next moment he started laughing loudly.
Lang Ya land spirit ridiculed: "Fang Yuan, oh Fang Yuan, you are now a zombie and still think you can deduce Gu recipes? Moreover, Immortal Gu recipes? This old man advises you to get rid of this thought!"
Inkman King, however, said: "An Immortal Gu recipe, even if it is a remnant recipe, has a high price. If we give it to sir to deduce it, but you fail in the process, then wouldn't we be handing you the contents of the Immortal Gu recipe for nothing?"
Lang Ya land spirit was startled to awareness, immediately yelling in rage: "Great, you actually wanted to swindle me of Immortal Gu recipes!"
