Chapter 212: The Sorrows of Life

The date of departure had been set for three days later Fang Xing decided to hide inside the Myriad Beasts Sect until then, but he didn't siht out every piece of inforossip related to the old man Hu Qin he could Froend in his own right

Hu Qin had cos as an old man who'd been a street perfor but—during his late years—he chanced upon the full inheritance of a rogue cultivator and was finally able to step onto the path of cultivation Despite being over fifty years old without any foundation, resources, or teachers to help guide the way, he was able to use nothing ue cultivator to reach the heavens and achieve renown throughout Chufung

As a Foundation Stage cultivator, he then joined the Melodic Ice Palace and assisted the demons and devils His na hirew tired of all worldly matters and decided to retire He'd kept hih another hundred years had passed since then, the naotten and had si this period that he was the best cultivator in all of Chufung, and his status became extremely lofty There was even a ru Kingdom, not only was the Melodic Ice Palace the first place they visited, they didn't flaunt their status and instead showed Hu Qin the sa

Throughout Hu Qin's life, it was rare for hirown stronger by the day, and although it was still paired up with the Qing-Yun Sect and Ephe, the truth was it had soue of its own A great number of talented disciples could be found within the palace, yet within these hundreds of years, Hu Qin had taken in only a total of three disciples

Hu Qin's first student was the current palace eneration, but had died in battle; his third student was the current top genius of the Chufung Kingdo Qiaoqiao to get the opportunity to becole step Even the title ”Hu Qin's pupil” alone was many times more valuable than her current ”Myriad Beasts princess”

After Fang Xing learned fro shi+hou why she'd been accepted as a student, however, he was only confused As it so happened, Ying Qiaoqiao hadn't been accepted into the Melodic Ice Palace because of sorand-elder who hadn't been in the public eye for nearly a hundred years had actively sent out a e spoke of how he'd heard of her innate talent, about how he had a sense of appreciation for a newly risen great sprout and wished to take her as his student

To Ying shi+hou, his daughter being given the chance to study under the wings of Chufung's top cultivator meant she wouldn't need to be stuck inside this small Myriad Beasts Sect forever He hadn't been able to contain his joy and accepted it without a second thought, but Fang Xing felt soe about this

Within the realm of cultivation, there were cases where this ”appreciation for a new sprout” would hly skilled old enius in order to take them as their student This wasn't too uncommon, either, but everyone qualified to have these old

iti Qiaoqiao before, and although her innate talent wasn't bad, that would depend on who she was compared to Perhaps if she was coenius, but when co a sparrow next to a phoenix…

This level of talent shouldn't have been enough for the grand-elder of the Melodic Ice Palace to proactively send out a letter to take her in as a new student, right?

The puzzle was difficult to solve, so Fang Xing decided not to dwell on it further There were still three days until departure, and although Fang Xing was bored with nothing to do, he'd also beenhe needed to do was hide the Phoenix-Fear Zither he'd taken frohtforward: he sied it into a lance shaped like a one-leggedcarve a few intricate seals on the Refined Iron's surface The seals not only increased the power of the lance, but also prevented people fro the aura of the Phoenix-Fear Zither beneath the layer of Refined Iron The Peng King even pro conviction that a nor abnormal whatsoever thanks to the seals he'd personally carved

This all had to be done because Fang Xing simply didn't have any better options The Phoenix-Fear Zither was an invaluable high-quality Ancient weapon—it naturally couldn't just be throay It also so happened that this treasure couldn't be placed inside a storage sack, so he had to resort to this in order to carry it on his back

Once the zither was taken care of, Fang Xing forced Ying shi+hou to open up the Myriad Beasts Sect treasure vault so he could draw in a large aood items for cultivation resources All of the resources he'd collected for Spirit Stage were useless now that he'd formed his foundation, so he had no choice but to collect resources once again Although he'd plundered the valleys of the three Foundation Stage elders and did indeed have a few resources for Foundation Stage cultivation—such as soh-quality Spirit Stones—it was still far froh

His base was extreh his foundation was conta purity of his cultivation was still there His purple foundation was an existence far beyond any ordinary cultivator, and so the pellets and Spirit Stones used by ordinary Foundation Stage cultivators weren't very useful to him; at most, they'd only be able to help hihout the day If he wanted to break into the second tier of Foundation Stage, he'd need considerably h-quality resources

It was rather unfortunate that while the Myriad Beasts Sect had a near-unlie disciples, the sect didn't havewent through all of the sect's vault—a process that left Ying shi+hou with a pained heart—the boy was still left dissatisfied and felt it was only so-so At least it was better than nothing…
