Chapter 599: Retreat and practice, Chiyan Mountain (joint chapter)
Today’s Tuoyun Mountain, after nearly twenty years of development, has already recovered from the Ma family’s rebellion, even better than Feng Deyang did in that period. At that time, it was even more prosperous.
Tuoyun Shanfang City’s business has been getting better and better in recent years, and it has already recovered its costs. It also brings a lot of spiritual stone income to the three parties that run the market every year.
Among them, the Xiaoyao Sect, which holds the most shares in Fangshi, is naturally the party that makes the most money. They can earn nearly 10,000 spiritual stones from the numerous Tuoyunshan casual cultivators almost every year. income.
Now on Tuoyun Mountain, Jinyunge Lin Yutang and others are responsible for managing the entire Lingshan Mountain and the many casual cultivators on the mountain. The Xiaoyao Sect firmly controls the management and control of Tuoyunshanfang City, while the Song family provides This spiritual mountain provides shelter and then gets a small share of the profits.
With the cooperation between the three parties now, Xiaoyao Sect is obviously the one taking advantage. They did not expend much effort here and got the benefits they wanted most.
Although Lin Yutang and others from Jinyun Pavilion gave up most of the interests of Fangshi, the control of Tuoyun Mountain's spiritual veins is still in their hands.
In addition, Song Qingming, the ancestor of Jindan, is in charge inside, and Xiaoyao Sect can support it outside.
Although the lives of the two senior brothers are far less prosperous than before, they still live a stable and comfortable life, and there are not many things to worry about in a short period of time.
Although the Song family also received some benefits from Tuoyun Mountain, Song Qingming, a golden elixir monk, had to stay in Tuoyun Mountain most of the time to help guard the country. A gateway in the northwest, the cost is actually not high compared to the benefits.
Fortunately, in recent years, since Song Qingming taught Demon King Yunhe twice, Tuoyun Mountain has been relatively peaceful, and Song Qingming hasn't had to worry much. Most of the time he spent here was basically practicing in seclusion.
Otherwise, if high-level monsters came to harass him every three days, Song Qingming would have been unable to tolerate the disturbance, and would have abandoned his affairs here and returned to Qinghe County.
This time Zhang Tieyang came to defend the country, it was actually a bit untimely. Now that the monster turmoil has just ended, the area around Tuoyun Mountain is still relatively peaceful.
Moreover, the business in Tuoyunshanfang City is getting better and better day by day, and various benefits have already been distributed. A foreign golden elixir monk suddenly enters Tuoyunshan, which is bound to break the current balance. This is also What Xiaoyao Sect doesn’t want to see.
Whether it is Xiaoyao Sect or Lin Yutang from Tuoyun Mountain, they are not in urgent need of a powerful golden elixir monk to help guard the spiritual vein of Tuoyun Mountain all year round. Song Qingming can divert some energy Just taking care of it is enough.
If in a few more decades, when the pressure from the monsters in the north increases and everyone needs help, as long as Zhang Tieyang opens his mouth, they will definitely not object.
But generally, people who can cultivate to the realm of golden elixir are not fools. If it comes to the time when the chaos of monsters is about to go south, it is basically impossible for anyone to choose to come to Weiguo to take a trip in this muddy water. .
Even Golden Core cultivators can find it difficult to ensure their own safety in a battle like the monster turmoil. If there are not sufficiently attractive benefits, no one will be willing to risk their own death. Danger, come and help Xiaoyao Sect deal with the turmoil of monsters.
Although a third-level low-grade spiritual vein is indeed very important to Jindan monks, it is not worth the risk.
It is easy to share wealth and honor, but it is always more difficult to share adversity.
After learning the news that Xiaoyao Sect rejected Zhang Tieyang, Song Qingming, who was in Funiu Mountain, was a little surprised, but he could only sigh for Zhang Tieyang.
"Zhang Daoyou and I just met each other and don't have much to do with each other. You don't need to worry so much. Since it's the sect's intention, I won't have any objections. You just need to Just do your own thing.
I will retreat for a while. Is there something urgent down the mountain? As before, just send me a message. "
"Senior, please rest assured, I know what to do." Seeing Song Qingming's face with a smile, there is really nothing to pursue. What this meant was that Lin Yutang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded in response to Song Qingming.
After sending Lin Yutang and two others away, Song Qingming stayed outside the cave again and watched the setting sun outside for a while.
After the sunset, Song Qingming reluctantly returned to his cave, opened the door bar, and prepared to start practicing in seclusion.
Spring passed and autumn came, and six years passed quickly.
On this day, in the northwest corner of Qinghe County, in the Yunwu Mountain, two sword lights suddenly flew over and stopped on a high mountain.
One of the men in Tsing Yi with handsome features pointed at a short distance in front of the two of them with a smile on his face, and said to another man on the side:
"Uncle Sixteen , what do you think of this place? I checked around here last time. Except for a second-level medium-grade fire-scaled leopard on this mountain, there are no other second-level monsters within a hundred miles.
Although this spiritual vein is only a second-grade low-grade one, it is less than a thousand miles away from Chifengling of the Huang family and Luoyun Mountain of the Zhao family in Pingyang County. I feel that the location is relatively in line with your requirements. "
Song Yuanfang looked at the other high mountain pointed by Song Changze, nodded after a moment and said: "Yeah! Changze, your vision is pretty good this time. From all aspects, the location of this place is indeed quite suitable for building a city.
Although the spiritual pulse is a little low, it is nothing serious. We can just think of ways to improve it later.
I will discuss it with the others after I go back. If everyone has no objections, we will immediately organize people to come over and clear this place. "
After saying a few more words on the spot, Song Yuanfang and Song Changze quickly turned into two sword lights and left the place directly.
A few days later, under the leadership of Song Yuanfang, an army of more than a hundred monks arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The army of monks brought by Song Yuanfang was composed of monks from the Song family and some nearby cultivating families. Their cultivation bases were basically monks above the sixth level of Qi refining, and their combat abilities were very good.
In addition to these more than a hundred monks in the Qi Refining Stage, five other foundation-building monks, Song Yuanfang, Song Changze, Song Yuanli, Liu Yuxin, and Wang Huaqing, followed.
Among the five people who came, Song Yuanli has the highest cultivation level. He has reached the peak of the sixth level of foundation building. His cultivation level may break through to the late stage of foundation building at any time. Among the monks in the middle stage of foundation building, It is already considered to be the most powerful one.
The second is Song Yuanfang, who has been building the foundation for more than 40 years. He just broke through to the fourth level of the foundation two years ago. Although his cultivation speed is not very fast, he can still surpass the average of the Weiguo Immortal Cultivation World. About half of them belong to foundation-building monks.
Except for the two monks who were in the middle stage of foundation building, the other three were still in the early stage of foundation building. Among them, Song Changze and Liu Yuxin had only broken through to the third level of foundation building in the past few years.
The remaining Wang Huaqing has only the second level of Foundation Establishment. He is not a Foundation Establishment monk invited by the Song family from outside. He is the Foundation Establishment Pill Empress who was exchanged from Song Qingming more than ten years ago. The successful Wang family from Fengtoushan.
This time, the reason why Song Yuanfang and the others brought so many monks here was to eliminate the second-level spiritual vein in front of them that was occupied by a second-level mid-level monster and occupied the relatively flat terrain.
After taking over this spiritual vein, the Song family plans to build a city here that connects Qinghe and Pingyang counties and can go deep into Yunwu Mountain.
Since the Song family was promoted to the Jindan Immortal Clan, with more and more monks in Qinghe and Pingyang, even the expanded Qinghefang is now gradually becoming a little crowded.
The number of monks in Qinghe County continued to increase, and everyone in the Song family saw some business opportunities. Therefore, after some internal discussions within the family, the Song family decided to build a new market near the middle of Pingyang County.
The Song family now has control and management rights over the territories of Qinghe and Pingyang counties. If they want to build a new city within their own territory, the Xiaoyao Sect will naturally not interfere.
Except for several cities and some mining industries that were already controlled and operated by the Xiaoyao Sect before the Song family was promoted to the Jindan family, the Xiaoyao Sect has basically not interfered with anything in the Song family’s territory in recent years. matter.
This is also a tacit understanding that has been reached between the two parties over the past few decades.
Although building a Xinfang City in your own territory does not require you to say hello to the Xiaoyao Sect, this will still affect the business of the nearest Qinghefang to a certain extent.
For this reason, Song Yuanfang, who acted relatively steadily, wrote a handwritten letter to the Xiaoyao Sect's General Affairs Hall, directly explaining the matter and asking for their opinions.
As for the Song family's idea of building a new city in the northeast of Qinghe County, Xiaoyao Zong's General Affairs Hall did not pay too much attention to the matter, and quickly gave a reply and agreed to their plan to build a city. idea.
Compared with large cities like Tuoyunshan City, Qinghefang is only a small city among the nearly 100 cities controlled by Xiaoyao Sect in Weiguo. It can create more for the sect every year. The benefits are very limited.
Even if Qinghefang's business has a slight impact, it is just a drop in the bucket for the entire sect. They are more concerned about Guiyunfang, Tuoyunshan, Yangshanfang and other large markets. .
After resting on the spot for a while, Song Yuan announced the mission loudly to everyone and assigned their respective responsibilities on the spot.
Following Song Yuanfang's order, the five foundation-building monks present immediately set off with a team of Qi-refining monks, divided into five different directions, and headed towards the mountain in front of them.
There are not many monsters in this spiritual vein. There is only one second-level mid-level monster with average strength, and dozens of ordinary little monsters in the Qi refining stage.
Song Yuanfang and the others came this time with five foundation-building monks and hundreds of masters in the Qi refining stage. Everyone had already determined that they would win this battle, and everyone's face showed a little bit. The color of excitement.
A sword light flew to the top of the mountain. Song Yuanli, who was the fastest, quickly discovered the second-level "Fire Scale Leopard" hiding somewhere on the mountain.
Seeing a human monk running up to the spiritual mountain where he was entrenched, the "Fire Scale Leopard" immediately roared and rushed towards Song Yuanli. When the two sides met, they immediately wiped out some firelight.
Seeing the Fire Scale Leopard that was about to kill him, Song Yuanli showed a slight smile of disdain. With a flash of inspiration in his hand, a second-level flying sword immediately came out and he headed directly towards the opponent.
Although this fire-scaled leopard is also a second-level mid-level monster, its cultivation strength is still much worse than that of Song Yuanli, who is already a master of mid-level foundation building. It can only fight for a moment, and soon, Just fell into a disadvantage. Several foundation-building monks who were searching for monsters in other directions heard the fighting at Song Yuanli's position on the side of the mountain. They quickly raised their swords and moved towards him.
This second-level mid-level "Fire Scale Leopard" was somewhat unable to withstand Song Yuanli's attack. Not far away, two more foundation-building monks were rushing towards this direction. When he came closer, he suddenly felt something bad. He hurriedly left Song Yuanli behind, turned around and wanted to slip away.
However, everyone in the Song family was obviously well prepared before attacking here.
Seeing this "Fire Scale Leopard" trying to escape to the northeast into the depths of Yunwu Mountain, Song Yuanli, who was following behind it, did not show any signs of anxiety on his face.
Before the "Fire Scale Leopard" could escape far, another blue sword light appeared in front of it, blocking its path. It was Liu Yuxin who had been preparing here for a long time.
Seeing that Liu Yuxin was standing in front of him, her cultivation was only at the third level of foundation construction. The "Fire Scale Leopard" did not take her seriously at first. After spitting out a ball of flames at Liu Yuxin, He just wanted to bypass her and escape quickly.
But just when the "Fire Scale Leopard" had just passed Liu Yuxin and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a silver ring suddenly appeared in the air in front of him, and then quickly grew several times larger, and was directly stuck in the " Fire Scale Leopard".
The person operating this silver ring magic weapon was Liu Yuxin, who had just escaped the attack of the "Fire Scale Leopard".
Looking at the "Fire Scale Leopard" not far away who was stuck in the air and struggling after being trapped by his own magic weapon, Liu Yuxin's face was filled with joy, and the magic power in his hand was strengthened a bit, and he quickly made this "Fire Scale Leopard" “It’s hard to take another step forward.
Liu Yuxin had just trapped the "Fire Scale Leopard" with a silver ring magic weapon, took out a blue flying sword, and stepped forward to continue attacking the opponent.
The trapped "Fire Scale Leopard" suddenly turned around and opened its mouth wide, spitting out a red ball wrapped in flames, heading straight towards Liu Yuxin.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yuxin looked a little surprised. She quickly stopped and took out a defensive weapon and blocked it in front of her.
However, when the black ball spit out by the "Fire Scale Leopard" flew into the air, a golden light suddenly appeared and stopped it, and a violent explosion soon sounded in the air.
"Are you okay?"
Before the smoke cleared, Song Changze's figure had appeared next to Liu Yuxin, and he asked the other party with some concern.
"I'm fine! Go and kill the fire-scaled leopard first, don't let him escape." Liu Yuxin glanced at Song Changze, and immediately spoke to him.
In order to defend against the rapid attack of the "Fire Scale Leopard", Liu Yuxin had already loosened the control of the silver ring. The opponent might have broken free from her magic weapon at this moment.
The two passed through the black smoke in front of them and were about to chase the "Fire Scale Leopard" forward, but found that the other party had just broken free from Liu Yuxin's silver ring magic weapon and was entangled by Song Yuanli who had already caught up. .
Seeing this, Liu Yuxin and Song Changze also breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to join the battle.
This "Fire Scale Leopard" was not as powerful as Song Yuanli. After falling into the siege of three people, he was immediately beaten back and had no power to parry.
When Song Yuanfang and Wang Huaqing, who were a little further away, rushed to the battlefield, the "Fire Scale Leopard" had been beaten to half of its life by the three of them, and was quickly killed by Song Yuanli with a sword. The head was removed.
Seeing that the fire-scaled leopard had been successfully killed, Song Yuanfang was overjoyed. He immediately smiled and said to the people present:
"Changze and Liu Daoyou stayed to collect Good monster material, let’s go together to help eliminate the remaining monsters on the mountain.”
After Song Yuanfang finished speaking, he took the first step and stepped on the flying sword to the top of the mountain. Song Yuanli and Wang Huaqing didn't say anything after hearing this, and immediately turned into a sword light and left here.
After the three of them left, Liu Yuxin glanced at Song Changze who was handling the body of the "Fire Scale Leopard" in front of him, and asked with some displeasure:
"Song Changze! Just now! I can obviously block that blow, why are you wasting a second-level defense talisman?"
Collecting it all. Song Changze, who is a monster material, heard Liu Yuxin's words, turned around and replied with a calm face:
"I believe you can block it, but I feel that the fire-scaled leopard's natal magical power is indeed a bit powerful, some I only used that spiritual talisman in a hurry, but it was just a second-level low-grade spiritual talisman, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
"When I asked you to borrow a few hundred spiritual stones, it was like killing you, but now you don't even care about a second-grade low-grade defensive talisman. I asked you, have you secretly made a fortune now? , There are too many spiritual stones to use up?”
Song Changze smiled and shook his head and said: "Haha! You are thinking too much. If I have too many spiritual stones to use up, I won't give you any points.
Ancestor Qingyu But you specifically told me to take care of you, I was a little afraid that you would get hurt just now, so I used that magic talisman. If you really feel bad about it, just give me one back next time.”
“Humph! Yes, you still want me to pay it back, you really What a beautiful thought. "
Although Liu Yuxin still sounded a little unconcerned about Song Changze's answer, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. Without saying anything more, she also stepped forward to help Song Changze collect monsters. Material.
After getting rid of the second-level mid-level "Fire Scale Leopard", the remaining monsters on the mountain no longer posed any threat to everyone. Except for a small part that escaped down the mountain, the rest were all killed.
After collecting all the monster materials, Song Yuanli and Song Changze led dozens of Song family monks to stay in place and guard this spiritual vein.
Song Yuanfang took the rest of the people back to Funiu Mountain and began to dispatch manpower to set up a mountain protection formation here.
After the mountain protection formation began to operate, the Song family quickly established a foothold here and named this newly obtained spiritual vein "Red Flame Mountain".
After occupying "Chiyan Mountain", the news that the Song family wanted to build a Xinfang City here quickly spread throughout the northeastern area of Weiguo.
Although the Xiaoyao Sect did not care about this matter, many local cultivating families in Qinghe County became a little excited after hearing the news that the Song family was going to build a Xinfang City soon.
As Qinghe County becomes more and more prosperous, other foundation-building families in Qinghe County, led by the Huang family and the Gao family, although they do not have many shares in Qinghefang, they can still get a lot of spiritual stones every year of.
With the strength of the Jindan Immortal Clan of the Song family, the cities that "Chiyan Mountain" will build in the future will definitely be no worse than the current cities such as Qinghefang and Jinshanfang.
Of course they also thought of ways to take some shares in the Xinfang City owned by the Song family, or acquire a few more shops.
As long as the market can operate normally in the future, it would be good for them to drink some soup while following the Song family, even if they can't eat meat.
Not long after the news spread, not only the foundation-building families in Qinghe County, but also several foundation-building families in Pingyang County became a little unable to sit still.
Soon, people were sent to Funiu Mountain to ask Song Yuanfang, who was in charge of the Song family, to help the Song family and join them in running this Xinfang city.
Song Yuanfang's attitude toward them this time was relatively vague regarding their plans to get a share of the pie.
Although they agreed verbally, in the future everyone can rent and open shops in the newly built market and occupy some shares.
But regarding the specific details of the cooperative operation of the market, Song Yuanfang did not immediately agree to them, and also rejected their idea of participating now and building the market together.
Looking at the "Red Flame Mountain", the Song family has begun to vigorously improve their spiritual veins and build a city. The foundation-building families that had yet to receive an accurate answer from the Song family began to become anxious day by day, and kept sending people to Funiu Mountain to inquire about the news.
Facing these people who came to the Song family to inquire about information, Song Yuanfang, who was responsible for managing the matter, always greeted them with a smile, but could not give them a single reply.
He just claimed that the head of the Song family was still in seclusion, and he couldn't take charge of it. He had to wait for Song Qingming, the ancestor of the family, to come back.
After hearing Song Yuanfang's explanation, even if these people were anxious, they did not dare to disturb Song Qingming's practice because of this trivial matter, so they could only leave Funiu Mountain with some disappointment.
——
In the northwest of the country, there is a high mountain hundreds of feet deep in the Fuyun Mountains.
A shallow white light suddenly lit up on the steep mountain wall that was originally so peaceful.
Then two figures quickly flew out of the white light and stopped in mid-air next to the mountain wall.
A young woman in green clothes glanced at the woman in white clothes beside her and said softly: "Senior Sister Xia, it seems that we can't get in with just the two of us. We have to find something else. Help comes.”
The woman in white looked around and sighed helplessly:
"We have just opened the formation outside, and the spiritual energy here has begun to leak out. It will not take long before it attracts the attention of those high-level demon kings.
This place is too far from the sect. Wait for us I’m afraid it’s too late to go back and find help.”
