    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios


    The banquet started.


    In this small hall, there was only Fang Yuan, Wu An, and Chi Shang, three Gu Immortals. Wu An


    naturally did not y a key role, the only important thing was that Fang Yuan and Chi Shang were


    interacting.


    Fang Yuan toasted Chi Shang, speaking politely with a smile, he expressed a lot of admiration and


    praise towards Chi Shang’s formation path attainment.


    After smiling and admitting defeat, could Chi Shang bear to give him a hard time?


    Chi Shang was straightforward and unguarded, unschooled in interacting with others, he drank a lot of


    wine.


    He assessed Fang Yuan, looking at him in a different perspective.


    “This Wu Yi Hai is quite a friendly guy. What happened earlier? Was he trying to purposely anger me?


    Or does he have a request of me?” Chi Shang thought to himself.


    “I will not hide it, Chi Shang, talented people like you are the people I admire the most!” Fang Yuan


    laughed, toasting.


    Chi Shang raised his cup and drank before Fang Yuan even drank.


    The toasting from earlier had already made Chi Shang used to this subconsciously.


    But Fang Yuan’s words were nice to hear. Especially when they were love rivals, such praise made Chi


    Shang feel deep aplishment.


    “No.”


    “I must be alert!”


    “This Wu Yi Hai might be acting, he is very scheming.”


    Chi Shang did not let down his guard, but no matter how he looked at it, Fang Yuan’s smile was full of


    sincerity.


    Hehe, forget about Fang Yuan’s acting skills, but don’t forget attitude Gu.


    “Chi Shang, take a look.” Fang Yuan stretched out his arm, handing over an information path mortal Gu


    to Chi Shang.


    “What is this?” Chi Shang muttered, he looked into it and his expression changed.


    As it turned out, this was an information path mortal Gu that Fang Yuan was going to send to Qiao Si


    Liu. He praised Chi Shang in the letter, his admiration was overwhelming, he admitted his own


    insufficiencies, using formation path questions to challenge Chi Shang was just him overestimating


    himself, he was truly ignorant and could not see Mount Tai, Chi Shang was a true Southern Border


    hero.


    There was no such thing as ‘Mount Tai’ in this world, but the meaning was the same.


    After Chi Shang saw this letter, he felt embarrassed.


    Fang Yuan’s praise was too exaggerated.


    “Am I really so good?”


    “Southern Border hero, why have I never thought of that.”


    “What would Fairy Si Liu think after she sees this?”


    All sorts of thoughts appeared, Chi Shang could not contain his emotions.


    When he looked at Fang Yuan again, his gaze transformed.


    Fang Yuan directly sat beside him, Chi Shang did not feel any dislike towards this closeness.


    “Chi Shang, throughout the Southern Border Gu Immortal world, only you are talented enough for Fairy


    Si Liu, I am truly in admiration!” Fang Yuanughed loudly.


    “Oh?” Chi Shang did not know what to say, he had joy on his face but also suspicions.


    Fang Yuan said again: “But I will not give up, all gentlemen may pursue beautiful and clever women,


    even though I am less talented than you, I will work harder. You won this time, but we willpete


    fairly again in the future! What do you think?”


    Hearing this, Chi Shang’s suspicions faded, he raised his cup for the first time and tasted Fang Yuan:


    “Yes, fairpetition! A contest between gentlemen should be fair and square.”


    Saying this, he treated Fang Yuan as a gentleman.


    Fang Yuanughed heartily, patting his shoulders: “To speak the truth, I hate the otherpetitors, but


    you are different. You are so talented and upright, I admire you. If you can get Fairy Si Liu’s love, I will


    bless you two, because I know that I did not lose unfairly! As for the others, they are just clowns.”


    Chi Shang was embarrassed from being praised, he rubbed his nose, saying: “Actually, some of them


    are quite strong.”


    “Friends are often made after a fight,e, drink!” Fang Yuan raised his cup.


    Chi Shang acted even more openly: “Drink!”


    He raised his head and gulped, drinking all of the wine in one mouthful.


    Next, he burped, his face turned red.


    “Awesome!” Fang Yuan gave a thumbs up, pouring wine for Chi Shang again.


    He smiled sincerely and enthusiastically, he was very friendly.


    But the truth was, he was calm in his mind, he thought about Chi Shang’s information.


    Wu n’s intelligence was very reliable.


    Fang Yuan knew long ago: This Chi Shang had been noticed by Chi Qu You when he was young, he


    saw the talent that Chi Shang had in formation path, thus he nurtured him deeply.


    Chi Shang was known as the ‘formation devotee’.


    He was chosen when he was a youth, he was sent into a cave in Myriad Snake Mountain to study. He


    stayed there for thirty years.


    When he was forty, he came out and had rank three cultivation level, but he surpassed rank four and


    five Gu Masters in creating formations, his formation path attainment shocked the entire Chi n.


    Next, his nsmen realized that Chi Shang had actuallye out of seclusion because he lost his way


    and identally left the mountain.


    His performance resulted in great fame, fortune and women came to him, but he rejected them all, his


    only request was to return to the cave and continue his formation path research.


    This alerted the supreme elders.


    Chi Qu You permitted Chi Shang’s request, creating a cave solely for him, with attendants and servants


    to cater to him.


    Chi Shang continued his research, he was so engrossed in it, it was shocking, as if formation path was


    the only joy in his life.


    He was invested in it, regardless of what happened outside, he only stayed in his cave, engrossed in


    his formation path cultivation without seeing daylight.


    When his hair turned white and his lifespan was ending, Chi Qu You came to see him and asked: “In


    this life, did you regret anything? Do you have any requests before dying?


    Chi Shang cried loudly, saying: “Life is too short, a hundred years passes by too quickly, my formation


    path research still has many things left to do, how can I rest in peace? This is my biggest regret.”


    Chi Qu You sighed in admiration, granting him a lifespan Gu.


    Chi Shang obtained it, regaining his youth and lifespan.


    Chi Qu You talked to him about formation path, guiding him for three days and three nights before


    confirming that Chi Shang was the n’s future hope, his formation path attainment could reach great


    grandmaster in the future!


    Chi Qu You did not just say it, he acted on it, nurturing Chi Shang with a lot of resources from the n.


    With the n’s help, Chi Shang’s cultivation level rose rapidly, he became an immortal. In a few


    decades, he became a rank seven Gu Immortal.


    Even though he became an immortal, his living habits did not change at all.


    He was still invested in formation path, he continued to research it endlessly, his closed cultivations


    lasted from years to over a decade.


    The only shocking thing was that he pursued Qiao Si Liu with a firm attitude.


    When news got out, Chi n was taken aback, to think that other than formation path, Chi Shang


    actually liked women!


    After getting Wu n’s intelligence, Fang Yuan thought that Chi Shang was an interesting person.


    With this knowledge, he used a special method to deal with Chi Shang instead.


    He did not meet with Chi Shang earlier, it was part of Fang Yuan’s scheme. He purposely used the


    formation path problem to challenge him, that was the second step, and this third step was the


    banquet.


    Chi Shang’s performance was not out of Fang Yuan’s expectations.


    Everything progressed ording to n.


    Not long ago, Qiao Si Liu had sent a letter ording to Fang Yuan’s expectations. As the person


    involved, Qiao Si Liu had to express her attitude clearly.


    Even though she did not state it, in the letter, she talked about her first encounter with Chi Shang.


    ording to Qiao Si Liu, back then, she visited Chi n with Qiao n’s orders, she was attended to


    by Chi n first supreme elder’s son, Gu Immortal Chi Bang.


    But to think that this Chi Bang was hitting on Qiao Si Liu by using the beautiful scenery and some


    poems.


    If this were normal times, Qiao Si Liu might not get mad, but now, she was the envoy from Qiao n,


    Chi Bang’s actions were disrespectful to Qiao n, Qiao Si Liu felt resentment towards him.


    To deal with him, Qiao Si Liu purposely got closer to Chi Shang.


    Chi Bang was Chi Qu You’s son, the supposed next first supreme elder of Chi n, he had the second


    highest authority in the n, nobody dared to trifle with him except the formation devotee Chi Shang.


    Chi Shang did not know about the issue, he had no interest in Qiao Si Liu initially, but she purposely


    talked to him about formation path, and even exined some of Qiao n’s formation path knowledge.


    Chi Shang was deeply attracted, he gained a lot of interest.


    Qiao Si Liu used Chi Shang to deal with Chi Bang, Chi Bang could not do anything, he could only


    apologize to Qiao Si Liu secretly.


    Qiao Si Liupleted the n’s mission and returned in sess, also gaining a suitor in Chi Shang.


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    Qiao Si Liu’s letter gave Fang Yuan important information, he gained a clearer understanding of Chi


    n’s internal affairs.


    “Chi n’s first supreme elder has limited lifespan, he can no longer use lifespan Gu, but his son, Chi


    Bang, became an immortal due to his protection, he has limited capability.”


    “Chi Qu You knows about his son’s abilities, but he wants him to be Chi n’s future first supreme


    elder, thus, after noticing Chi Shang’s personality and talent, he decided to invest in him and nurture


    this formation devotee.”


    “As long as the formation devotee protects him, Chi Bang will have a good chance of staying first


    supreme elder. And the formation devotee’s admiration and gratitude towards Chi Qu You will make


    him unable to escape the control of Chi Bang.”


    “Kinship… hehe.”


    Qiao Si Liu’s letter showed Chi n’s internal political conflicts to Fang Yuan.


    And because of this problem, a genius like Chi Shang emerged. At the same time, some questions that


    Fang Yuan had was answered.


    “Come! Wu Yi Hai, let me toast you.” At this time, Chi Shang toasted Fang Yuan for the first time,


    breaking his train of thought.


    Chi Shang continued: “You are a very sincere person, when Fairy Si Liu and I get together, you do not


    need to be too upset. You are very talented, there are lots of women in the world, but few are well


    learned about formation path!”
