82 The Ceiling of Reproduction
[Today is a day of studying the “I guess you can’t hit me” technique hard. However, it’s a pity that you have had no gains since your aptitude is mediocre.]
[Refined understanding in “I guess you can’t hit me” +1]
Fang Jinyu’s eyes flickered as the enlightenment in his mind spread. His eyes, which had not shown any unusual signs, now flickered with a purple-gold luster.
Fang Jinyu had activated the spiritual fire in his body to cultivate the secret technique.
Who would have thought the secret technique with a name which sounded like a joke, would require spiritual fire when cultivating?
Furthermore, Fang Jinyu couldn’t use ordinary spiritual fire.
Even Fang Jinyu’s purple-volt spiritual fire, a top-grade spiritual fire that was ranked 7 on the Nine Desolations’ spiritual fire ranking, had only just reached the threshold of being able to cultivate the secret technique!
The purple-volt spiritual fire spread out within Fang Jinyu’s body, coursing through his limbs and bones. With a flash of lightning, Fang Jinyu’s shadow immediately changed.
In an instant, Fang Jinyu’s shadows seemed to overlap.
Although there was only one of them, there seemed to be dozens of them.
“Phew!”
Fang Jinyu heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally reached the beginner level of the secret technique.
In theory, the shadow of the “I guess you can’t hit me” secret technique’s beginner level could help Fang Jinyu block at most 30 fatal attacks. Fang Jinyu’s current cultivation base, which was ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage, could help him maintain his shadow for an hour as long as the shadow wasn’t killed. However, if it was killed, he could only “summon” 10 shadows at most, which meant that his shadows could only die in his place 10 times.
It was because Fang Jinyu didn’t have enough inner energy.
The secret technique wasn’t as easy to use as Fang Jinyu initially thought, but it was undeniable that it was indeed an unreasonable technique.
“So, what’s the background of this little girl?”
Fang Jinyu made a few conjectures and thought of a few possibilities, but he overturned all of them due to insufficient evidence.
Then, Fang Jinyu got up and walked out of the rented immortal estate.
Right now, Fang Jinyu was already in the Utopia Immortal City.
Three days ago, the stargazing flying ship had landed in the Utopia Immortal City. However, since Fang Jinyu wanted to cultivate the “I guess you can’t hit me” secret technique, he had rented a few suitable immortal estates before sending away the Qi Condensation stage disciples who had accompanied him. He asked them to have a good trip in the Utopia Immortal City since it was a rare trip for them.
The Tianling Sect’s disciples were naturally overjoyed.
The Utopia Immortal City was famous for producing spirit herbs in the Nine Desolations. Other than the high-grade spirit herbs that were hundreds of years old, many of their spirit herbs were suitable for Qi Condensation stage disciples. Moreover, it was much cheaper to buy them in the Utopia Immortal City than anywhere else!
Fang Jinyu was currently in the southwest urban area of the Utopia Immortal City, where many mountain peaks were located. On these mountain peaks, there were all kinds of immortal estates of different sizes.
These immortal estates were all rented to foreign cultivators.
According to the concentration of spiritual energy in the area where the mountain peak was located, the price of renting the immortal estates would also be different.
Fang Jinyu’s immortal estate was only rented for late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. Cultivators needed to pay 100 spirit stones to rent for a day.
However, in terms of the effect of cultivation, its spiritual energy was only a little stronger than the spiritual energy on Mount Xiaohe.
It was far inferior to Xin Qianqian’s Blossom Yard.
Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but complain, “I feel like coming here is like going home…” Meanwhile, he thought, “How dare they charge 100 spirit stones a day while this place has only such a little spiritual energy?!”
However, the situation also reflected that the Tianling Sect was indeed one of the six great immortal sects in the Nine Desolations.
Among the 72 peaks, Mount Xiaohe, which was hated by everyone, and whose disciples ran away as soon as they broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, had a higher concentration of spiritual energy than most of the immortal cities.
With that, Fang Jinyu threw out a talisman.
Fang Jinyu was going to gather the accompanying disciples.
Soon, the Qi Condensation stage disciples had all returned, and Fang Jinyu saw the little girl rushed over.
In this aspect, she was well-behaved.
Fang Jinyu said, “Since everyone’s here, come with me to buy some spirit herbs!”
“Yes, Martial Uncle.”
Afterward, the group of people walked out of the immortal estate area and went straight to the spirit herb trading area in the Utopia Immortal City.
It was a trading street.
It directly used the city’s name and called it Utopia Street.
On both sides of the street, there were all kinds of shops that were engaged in the sale of different kinds of spirit herbs. The shop signs were respectively named, “The Xu Family”, “The Wei Family”, and “The Qi Family.”
Fang Jinyu glanced at it, and his expression changed.
It was because they were the three major cultivation families of the Utopia Immortal City—The Qi family, the Xu family, and the Wei family.
They were known as the “three great families” and controlled all the profitable businesses in the city.
However, it was actually just a way of saying it to outsiders.
According to the extraordinary book, the Xu family and the Wei family had become the Qi family’s vassals. The two families’ Core Formation stage cultivators were the grandsons of the Qi family’s Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
The Utopia Immortal City had one Nascent Soul stage cultivator and three Core Formation stage cultivators. Although they were far inferior to the Tianling Sect, they were way better than most of the immortal sects.
In terms of seniority, the three Core Formation stage cultivators had to address the Nascent Soul stage cultivator as their grandfather.
The Nascent Soul stage cultivator had a son in his early years. Although his son didn’t possess a Tianling spiritual root, he had been working hard to “fight” for the Qi family’s descendants since he was fourteen years old. When he was in his seventies and had not been able to fight for anything, he had more than a hundred children, not including his daughters.
In the mythology of “The Investiture of the Gods,” King Wen of Zhou relied on his foster sons to have a hundred children. However, this guy had directly created a clan by himself.
It could be said to be the ceiling of reproduction in the mortal world.
Among the Nascent Soul stage cultivator’s hundred grandsons, three of them broke through the Core Formation stage one after another when they cultivated.
The three of them were of the same generation and were all Core Formation stage cultivators. Naturally, neither of them was convinced by the other.
Seeing the scene, the Nascent Soul stage cultivator couldn’t be biased, so he didn’t care about the matter and let the three fight.
Fang Jinyu walked at the forefront with a few Qi Condensation stage disciples following behind him. A little girl was walking in his shadow. Perhaps she had discovered that Fang Jinyu had mastered her secret technique, and her big eyes would occasionally show a crescent moon’s shape.
Suddenly, Fang Jinyu heard a commotion in front of him.
Afterward, Fang Jinyu saw a group of people walking toward him. Two of them were like stars surrounding the moon, while the others were surrounding them.
The two people were a man and a woman.
The man was handsome, but his temperament was a little frivolous. Hence, it was not worth describing him.
The woman had a graceful figure and slender legs. Although her facial features were charming like a demon, she still looked as pure as a lotus when she wore the bright red dress.
It was all because of her pure and untainted temperament.
If it wasn’t Su Yier, who else could it be?
Fang Jinyu raised an eyebrow and cursed his bad luck. However, at the same time, he couldn’t help but curse in his heart, “She is indeed the protagonist. I’m really speechless while looking at the treatment she is receiving.”
When Fang Jinyu noticed Su Yier, she also noticed him.
Thus, Su Yier walked over to Fang Jinyu.
Su Yier said, “Senior Brother Fang, are you surprised that I’m not dead?”
