Chapter 91 -90: Old Gold Teeth Weirdo (Congratulations to Clan Leader KKRGUN!)_1
“A son-in-law by marriage?”
Fang Xi glanced at Feng Man Building and Mo Qingyu, slightly nodding his head, “Indeed… If one could marry Island Master Ruan, that would truly be a fortuitous occasion benefitting both financially and personally.”
Such matters were actually not a big deal.
At least it showed that both the Bai family and the Mo family preferred to use more amicable methods.
For Fang Xi, that was enough.
As for whether Peach Blossom Island bore the name Ruan or Bai, as long as it didn’t interfere with his tree planting, everything was negotiable.
“Mr. Fang… You seem to not have a Taoist companion yet?”
Hua Chanjuan suddenly asked Fang Xi a question that made him want to laugh and cry at the same time.
Although this female cultivator was prudent in her advances and retreats, sometimes she would propose suggestions that were incredibly naive; it was beyond anyone.
“I’m only in the mid stage of Qi Refining… and I’m wholly dedicated to the Dao, unwilling to waste energy on romantic distractions!”
Fang Xi responded earnestly, “Let us not speak of this matter again in the future!”
“It was my lapse of speech!” Hua Chanjuan glanced at her husband’s expression and quickly lowered her head.
…
“The Island Master has arrived!”
After all the guests from the Feng family and the Mo family had gathered, following Xiumu’s announcement, Ruan Xingling arrived gracefully dressed in a festive red magical robe and took her seat in the place of honor. She raised her cup, “I am truly honored by everyone’s presence. Please, drink this cup to the full!”
“Island Master, you are too kind!”
Fang Xi and others quickly raised their cups, and the atmosphere was cheerful with both host and guests enjoying themselves.
“Hehe… your neighbor holds a grand banquet and doesn’t invite me? How could that be?”
Suddenly, a peculiar voice rang out from outside the courtyard.
Xiumu’s expression slightly changed as he sensed that the speaker’s magic power seemed to be even stronger than someone in the late stage of Qi Refining!
With a flash of golden light, an additional figure appeared in the courtyard!
This person was short in stature, not even exceeding one and a half meters, with small eyes like soybeans and a face that truly defied flattery. He was dressed in a golden magical robe, yet the aura he exuded was tremendously powerful, having reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!
“It’s the Old Gold Teeth Weirdo from Golden Flame Island, why has he come too?”
Feng Man Building’s face turned pale in an instant.
“Old Gold Teeth Weirdo?!”
Individual cultivators among the guests also fell silent, as if chilled.
This person, much like Yu Lingzi, was at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, just one step away from Foundation Establishment!

Moreover, known for his unpredictable temper and remarkable strength, he monopolized a top-grade, first-order Spiritual Vein on Golden Flame Island for his cultivation.
The Lu family from Peach Blossom Island previously tried to ingratiate themselves with him, but to no avail.
Now that he had come today, could it be that he intended to make things difficult for Ruan Xingling?
With this thought, everyone’s expressions were filled with unease, and Wei Yixin was secretly tensing, gripping his magical artifact.
“So it is the Old Ancestor Gold Teeth, please take a seat at the head!”
Ruan Xingling remained composed in the face of changes and instructed her servants to prepare a seat of honor for the guest.
“Hehe… Though I am an uninvited guest, proper courtesies must still be observed.”
The Old Gold Teeth Weirdo casually tossed out a Spirit Stone.
The stone, though the same size as a standard low-grade Spirit Stone, was purer, crystal clear, brimming with spiritual energy that seemed almost to overflow.
“Could it be a medium-grade Spirit Stone?”
Xiumu rubbed his eyes, somewhat in disbelief.
This was the kind of high-value currency rumored to be used among Foundation Establishment cultivators.
“Not bad, not bad, the old fellow has a good eye!”
The Old Gold Teeth Weirdo chuckled and took his seat of honor, then turning to Feng Man Building and Mo Qingyu opposite him, said, “Your two families are known to be related by marriage, I wonder what good stuff you brought over?”
Mo Qingyu’s face immediately turned sour.
Although he and Feng Man Building also prepared generous gifts, how could they compare to a medium-grade Spirit Stone?
That was worth at least a hundred low-grade Spirit Stones, and often couldn’t even be exchanged for one!
“Thank you, Old Gold Teeth, for your generous gift. Xingling toasts you once more!”
Ruan Xingling’s smile was full, seemingly oblivious to the tension in Old Gold Teeth Weirdo’s words.
“Haha, you’re not bad, girl. Old I had relations with your Ruan family ancestor. As for those from the Lu family, I’ve always looked down on them,” said the Old Gold Teeth Weirdo as he drank another cup and laughed heartily. “I came here today to clarify things, and I’ve also prepared another gift. Please look!”
He slapped his Storage Bag and retrieved a box reeking of blood.
Upon opening the lid, many gasped in shock.
Inside the box, there was unmistakably a decapitated head with bulging eyes!
“This person, could it be the only core Qi Refining cultivator from the Lu family who escaped?” Xiumu identified after a moment and called out in shock.
After all, this man nearly killed him once before and had escaped when the situation turned dire.
He naturally had a deep impression of him.
“How’s that?”
The Old Gold Teeth Weirdo asked with a laugh.
“From now on, Peach Blossom Island and Golden Flame Island will naturally be friends.”
Ruan Xingling drank a few more glasses, a blush rose on her cheeks as though she couldn’t hold her liquor, but it only made her look more charmingly enchanting…
…
Below.
Delicious dishes from the banquet were served like a flowing stream, but Wei Yixin felt pressure in his chest, “What do you think… Old Gold Teeth Bloody Teeth is up to?”
“Nothing other than making clear where he stands… Our Island Master is very capable and resourceful,” replied Fang Xi, who seemed to welcome any comer and was happily eating and drinking.
In his heart, he also had a few guesses.
His extermination of the second son of the Kou family would most likely be attributed to Ruan Xingling by the outside world, which is quite frightening!
Even though Old Gold Teeth Weirdo has a notorious reputation and has killed many Qi Refining late-stage cultivators, he could count them all on one hand.
Furthermore, considering that Golden Flame Island and the three families were adjacent, they naturally did not want to entangle matters further, and it was best to end relations with the Lu Family as soon as possible.
‘Very good, let Lord Ruan carry this pot on his back…’
‘I have no desire for fame.’
Fang Xi ate his fill and then left with the crowd, paying no attention to the ensuing troubles, and returned to Jadeite Valley to focus on his cultivation in isolation.
This left Prime Taoist Xiumu and the Wei Couple who wanted to gather afterward completely dumbfounded.
Today at the banquet, both Feng Man Building and Mo Qingyu declared they would dispatch cultivators to help Ruan Xingling hold down Peach Blossom Island, and they were just about to look for a way to negotiate a solution.
How could he just leave like that?
…
“Flies and dogs… what’s more important than my cultivation progress?”
Jadeite Cliff.
Inside a wooden hut, Fang Xi sat cross-legged, cultivating the ‘Eternal Spring Skills’.
He never wanted to deal with these messy issues to begin with.
Feeling the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi enter from the outside, he felt incomparably refreshed and a smile spread across his face.
Even though it was a mediocre Spirit Land, it still provided a boost to cultivation.
At the very least, it was much better than Great Liang and the mundane realm.
Here, the progress to reach the pinnacle of the fifth layer of the cultivation method would be at least several times faster!
…
Before he knew it, spring turned to summer.
Boom!
Dark clouds filled the sky, and torrential rain poured down!
Fang Xi, wearing a straw raincoat and hat, was inspecting the Spiritual Fields of Jadeite Cliff.
At the edge of the Spiritual Fields, a small quadrangle dwelling had already sprung up; the mundane workers were diligent, and Fang Xi occasionally helped by using spells and magical tools for assistance.
Even if he could not move mountains and fill seas like the legends about great Immortal Cultivators, he still had the capability to construct a house.
After rewarding the mundane craftsmen with some gold and silver, they left with ceaseless thanks.
For them, the abode of a Taoist Master was not to be trifled with without summons—this was a lesson learned through much bloodshed.
As for Fang Xi, he planned to set up the ‘Little Cloud Rain Array’ in the future, so he needn’t worry about others disturbing or spying on him.
At this moment, looking at the robust red seedlings growing in the Spiritual Fields, he couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction: “The Blood of Demonic Beast really has a good effect…”
Ever since the mundane craftsmen left, he took the opportunity to travel to Great Liang and bring back a lot of Blood of Demonic Beast.
After irrigating with it, the growth of Red Blood Spirit Rice was extremely promising.
“Originally, these Spiritual Fields, planting Red Blood Spirit Rice, would yield about over two hundred pounds per acre. Now, after my cultivation, perhaps in autumn, the yield per acre could reach three hundred pounds?”
Fang Xi, being a Spirit Plant Farmer, could estimate the harvest quite accurately.
‘The market price for Red Blood Spirit Rice is thirty pounds per lower-grade Spirit Stone. With thirteen acres here, that’s one hundred and thirty lower-grade Spirit Stones?’
‘Indeed, being a landlord earns more than being a tenant farmer!’
‘It’s just that my cultivation progress is still a bit slow.’
Fang Xi stretched out his hand, and wisps of green luminescence bloomed at his fingertips.
The nearby rainwater, as if drawn by something, gathered around him. Mingled with traces of spiritual energy, it turned into a misty rain, covering the nearby Spiritual Fields.
‘Adapt to the circumstances, tailor the solution to the location… With the natural rainwater, the range of the Spring Rain Skills can be extended quite a bit…’
After casting spells on each of the thirteen acres, feeling the consumption of his Magic Power, Fang Xi nodded and then shook his head.
He was increasingly feeling the drag his lower-grade Spiritual Root was having on his Cultivation progress.
‘Based on this pace… without taking elixirs, only cultivating in the Spirit Land, I think it would take about five years to cultivate the Eternal Spring Skills to the peak of the fifth layer, and then God knows how many years I’d be stuck at the bottleneck.’
‘Mid-stage Qi Refining is already this challenging; later stages will only be harder. Ten years may not be enough for one layer, and it’s absolutely impossible to meet the most basic requirements for Foundation Establishment before the sixty-year limit…’
‘Fortunately, I am not restricted by vitality, so I don’t need to fret about reaching Qi Refining Great Perfection before sixty years…’
Fang Xi returned indoors to the dwelling and changed out of his straw raincoat.
This quadrangle, designed according to his taste, was furnished with a kitchen, animal pens, a well, a medicinal field… Despite being small, it had all the essentials and even a few additional conveniences for living.
At this moment, he went to the bathroom and turned on the faucet, quickly hot water flowed down…
After a thoroughly enjoyable bath, Fang Xi, dressed in light clothes, went to the Training Room.
This quiet room was made according to his special requests, constructed with extremely thick rocks, covered with Talismans, soundproofed, lightproof, and even with a certain defensive ability.
Once the door was closed, it was as if it were a different World from the outside.
Fang Xi approached his meditation mat and flipped it over, revealing a dark opening beneath it.
He took out a luminous pearl and walked down into it.
Over these days, Fang Xi had traversed the entirety of Jadeite Cliff, surveying the terrain to prepare for setting up Arrays, and unexpectedly came upon a delightful surprise.
Atop the steep cliff, there was a cavern!
He deliberately sealed the entrance of the cavern, leaving only a passage that faced Thousand Island Lake, and made cover for it on the outside.
At the same time, he secretly built a tunnel that connected directly to his own mansion’s Training Room.
Drip, drip, drop!
Connected to the underground water veins, Fang Xi arrived at the bottom of the cavern and saw a small pool, accompanied by the sound of dripping water.
“This place is still a bit too small; it needs some expansion!”
He embedded the luminous pearl into the rock wall and took out his Gold Dragon Knife and Gold Dragon Sword, beginning to expand the cavern.
These two superior magical tools could cut iron like mud and slice through rock as if it were tofu, truly the best tools for labor.
It wasn’t long before he had filled several Storage Bags with rubble.
Fang Xi then exited through the opening on the cliff side and dumped the rocks into the lake depths…
