Eternal Life through Drawing Lots

Chapter 336: Chapter 328: Just a Fluke

A gentle breeze rustled through the swaying sea of bamboo.

The rustling sound was crisp and pleasant, calming the heart.

Sang Xiaowan watched Fang Yang and the others exchange pleasantries, pouting under her breath.

But when her own mother took out the [Two-Poles Token], her eyes instantly lit up.

The next moment, Fu Sheng Fairy smiled.

"You have always been a man of integrity, never indulging in debauchery, living almost like a pure ascetic."

"If the Two-Poles Mansion Master were to learn that you were the one to receive this Two-Poles Token, I imagine he would be very pleased."

Fang Yang accepted the Two-Poles Token. "A gift from an elder cannot be refused. Thank you for this treasure, Senior."

The Two-Poles Token was shaped like a palm-sized page from a book.

One side was pure black, dim and dark.

The other side was pure white, brilliantly bright.

When placed in shadow, a sheen would flow across its surface, like moving water droplets, making it feel extremely soft.

When placed in light, however, it became as hard as divine iron, impossible to bend by hand, its rigidity astonishing.

Its material alone spoke of its extraordinariness, hinting at the profound depths of its master’s, the Two-Poles Mansion Master’s, Daoist skills.

Fang Yang gazed at it, his heart beginning to beat a little faster.

’This Two-Poles Token has a faint connection to the Yin Yang Dao Fish Diagram!’

Fu Sheng Fairy said, "In seven days, the Two-Poles Mansion Master will initiate his corporeal dissolution. When that time comes, Jiuzhe will naturally lead you there."

Jiuzhe gave a simple, honest smile. "Yes, I’ll take you there."

But when Sang Xiaowan saw Jiuzhe still acting like this, she felt an inexplicable burst of anger.

She didn’t understand.

She really didn’t understand.

’Senior Brother Jiuzhe clearly has ability and talent.’

’He could even try to suppress the younger generation of the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life and become an unparalleled figure like Sen Yue.’

’But in the face of all competition, Senior Brother Jiuzhe is always like a babbling brook, just flowing along with no intention of striving to be first.’

"Hmph."

Sang Xiaowan lifted her chin.

"Brother Yang, every Two-Poles Token contains a fortune of its own."

"The one you’re holding contains a Tier Six Saint Realm Skill."

"You have to comprehend it within these seven days. Otherwise, when you’re observing Grandpa Two-Poles’s corporeal dissolution, this token will disintegrate on its own."

"And each Two-Poles Token contains Grandpa Two-Poles’s understanding of Daoist skills, making them extremely difficult to decipher or comprehend."

"You have no idea! That scoundrel Chen Chenye, who’s been taught numerous Daoist scriptures since childhood and has profound Daoist skills, still took a full three days."

"If you’re not confident, don’t force it. I’ll help you!"

As she finished speaking, her gaze flickered toward Jiuzhe.

It was obvious she meant that she would have Jiuzhe help Fang Yang.

Dawn broke, and the clouds and mist began to part.

A cool air filled the sea of bamboo.

Hearing Sang Xiaowan’s words, Fang Yang now understood where the Tier Six opportunity lay.

Under everyone’s gaze, he just smiled nonchalantly. "Why go to such trouble?"

The next moment, a divine light gleamed in his eyes.

’Fifth Lifebound Magic—Martial Dao Celestial Eye!’

The Two-Poles Token instantly buzzed and trembled, transforming into a Yin Yang Dao Fish Diagram that floated in mid-air.

Immediately, Fang Yang reached out and seized the Yin Yang Dao Fish Diagram with utter ease.

Refined in an instant!

He had solved the riddle of the Two-Poles Token in the middle of a casual conversation.

"Wow!" Sang Xiaowan’s eyes sparkled with adoration, her face alight with joy.

"This..." Fu Nuannuan’s smile froze on her face, her heart in turmoil.

It wasn’t just them; even Jiuzhe and Fu Sheng Fairy were utterly astonished.

One must know that even for a true prodigy of the Dao like Chen Chenye, it still took three days to decipher the Two-Poles Token.

And yet Fang Yang only needed a moment?!

The comparison was simply too outrageous.

Fang Yang smiled faintly. "I have studied Daoist inheritances related to Yin Yang Diagrams extensively. It was just a lucky break."

’A lucky break?’

The others didn’t believe it for a second.

......

After that, Fang Yang temporarily settled down in the Purple Cloud Dojo.

The Saint Realm Skill he obtained from the Two-Poles Token was called the *Soul Tempering and Essence Refining Scripture*.

This was a Soul Dao Saint Realm Skill for channeling the lightning of heaven and earth to temper one’s Soul Foundation.

With it, it seemed it would be no difficult task for Fang Yang to elevate his Soul Foundation to the Saint Realm before he even entered the realm of Saints.

However, Fang Yang didn’t rashly begin cultivating it.

He only gave it a cursory look, as he didn’t know if there were any hidden traps within it.

He would only cultivate this Skill after it had been thoroughly verified.

It was just that...

While he had settled down for the time being, others had not.

For example, his cousin, Fang Xuan, came to visit him after learning he had arrived at the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life and the Purple Cloud Villa.

"Brother."

Fang Xuan strode over.

Fang Xuan was lean, with bright, spirited eyes.

He was already an ordained Daoist recorded in the official registers, with the Daoist name "Feathered Mystic."

After receiving some of Fang Yang’s Slave Beast Skills, he had solidified his resolve to walk the path of the Beast Taming school and had even earned the fierce reputation of "Little Eagle King."

He was now at the Tier Three Middle cultivation realm.

Among his peers, he was also considered a genius.

"A tree dies if moved, but a person thrives."

If not for Fang Yang’s help, he would probably still be stuck in the White Feathered Eagle tribe, unable to spread his wings.

Fang Yang smiled. "I already heard about your situation from Uncle Qi. Looking at you now, you’re doing even better than we imagined. That’s great."

Hearing this, Fang Xuan chuckled.

The cousins caught up for a while.

Before long, Fang Xuan wanted to challenge the White Feathered Eagle!

Perhaps in others’ eyes, the White Feathered Eagle was holding Fang Yang back.

But objectively speaking, if you excluded freaks like Fang Yang and Sen Wei, the White Feathered Eagle’s growth rate was astonishing enough to amaze anyone else.

In Fang Xuan’s heart, the White Feathered Eagle was like a guiding beacon.

Fang Yang agreed.

However, considering their cultivation realms, he decided to send out the Electric Python first, and then the White Feathered Eagle.

The Electric Python went forth and fought valiantly against a flock of eagles.

After a fierce battle, the Electric Python showed its might, and Fang Xuan was thoroughly convinced.

The Electric Python, delighted after experiencing a heated battle, actually broke through to Tier Three Middle with ease, matching Fang Xuan’s level.

Afterwards, the White Feathered Eagle, relying on its aura alone, intimidated Fang Xuan’s flock of eagles into submission.

Regarding this, Sang Xiaowan made a special comment:

"Both the Electric Python and the White Feathered Eagle have the bearing of Desolate Beasts. If I ever had to face them, I’d definitely ask them to go easy on me."

......

"Fang Yang? FANG YANG!"

Chen Chenye roared at the sky.

All his painstaking plans had been ruined just like that.

What infuriated him even more was the difference in attitude from Sang Xiaowan and the others toward him versus Fang Yang.

It was outrageous. Utterly outrageous.

He was a member of the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life! He was the Purple Sky Manor Master’s disciple!

At this moment, a volcano erupted in his heart. Rage filled his chest, nearly melting him from the inside out!

Inside his personal villa, he flew into a thunderous rage.

He smashed every vase and jar in sight, a complete departure from the image of the dignified, ascetic cultivator that others saw.

「Elsewhere.」

Two-Poles Villa.

"Fang Yang, it really had to be you."

Su Xi clicked her tongue in amazement when she heard about this turn of events.

She wasn’t the least bit worried about losing this opportunity herself.

After all, she was a leading figure in the outsider faction of the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life.

She could have gotten a [Two-Poles Token] from her own master based on her potential and strength anyway.

That Chen Chenye was just being presumptuous and self-righteous.

Besides, she had also vaguely heard that it wasn’t just Fang Yang who had obtained a [Two-Poles Token]; the Yu Zither Immortal had gotten one long ago.

"Ah Yang is at the Purple Cloud Villa?" Chen Ying shot to her feet the moment she heard of Fang Yang’s arrival.

Her emotions were very complicated.

There was excitement, there was joy, but even more... there was fear!

The person she’d been thinking of day and night had appeared in her own Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life; she should have been happy.

But through Sang Xiaowan, she had also learned what Fang Yang did for Sen Hui at the Refining Dao Assembly.

’Putting myself in her shoes... if it were me, would Fang Yang do the same?’

She didn’t know, and she didn’t dare to know.

To this day, she still couldn’t tell what kind of feelings she had for Fang Yang.

It was more like an obsession.

An obsession... with not losing to Sen Hui.

It seemed incredibly difficult to understand, yet there it was, existing in her heart.
