"Besides the An family, which one else is there in Huaiyang City?" Chen Huaisheng looked around casually and asked casually.

"In addition to the An family, there are probably the Cao family and the Kang family. They are all related by marriage." The boss also responded casually: "But the Cao family and the Kang family don't have as many people as the An family. The Cao family is huddled in the northeast corner of the city, and the Kang family

My family is in Kangjiazhai outside the city, and there are only a few hundred people there."

I have also heard of Chen Huaisheng, the head of the Cao family and Kang family, but they are far different in strength compared to the An family. It seems that the head of the Cao family should be at the first level of foundation building, and there is also a nephew who is at the second level of foundation building.

There are about twenty monks in total, and the situation of the Kang family is generally similar.

Chen Huaisheng has no intention of visiting these two families, and now is not a good time. There is no point in going now before he has enough strength.

He now wants to know about the situation of these clans and clans in Wei Huaidao.

In a casual conversation with the store owner, Chen Huaisheng also learned about the Cao family and the Kang family, although their strength is far inferior to that of the An family, but they have their own strengths.

The Kang family controls the trade channels in the central part of Weihuai Road. They have a closer relationship with the Beirong people in Youyun and other states in the north and even the Beimo people further away. Many Beimo specialties are continuously imported here and then sold to

Various places in Yanzhou, and many specialties from Yanzhou will also be sold to Beimo through Yunzhou from here.

The Cao family is particularly good at planting spiritual plants. They once opened up a number of spiritual plantations at the western foot of Dahuai Mountain. However, after the Lingyun Sect came, they forcibly evicted the Cao family and took over these plantations. However, these plantations soon became abandoned.

.

After hearing these introductions, Chen Huaisheng was also very interested.

To be honest, Chen Huaisheng was even more interested in the Cao and Kang families than in the An family.

Although Anjia is stronger, it has little effect on Dahuaishan. With just a few foundations, Dahuaishan can be cultivated in a few years.

However, it is not easy for a trade system, especially a trade channel that can directly lead to Beimo, without decades of business cultivation and sufficient connections.

The Cao family's planting capabilities and traditions are even more coveted, but Dahuaishan currently lacks these.

"Then where is the Cao family operating now? Now it seems that the Lingyun Sect has become the Chonghua Sect. The Cao family can open up those plantations again." Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but said after hearing the innkeeper introduce this situation.

"Haha, do you think that plantation can be opened casually? The investment is not small."

The innkeeper was also a Taoist. He could tell that Chen Huaisheng was a foundation-building monk, but he only thought that Chen Huaisheng was an outsider and laughed.

"The spiritual energy on Dahuai Mountain is very strong, but it is the territory of the Chonghua Sect. Back then, the Chonghua Sect and the Yuelu Sect fought many battles. It is said that several foundation-building monks from both sides died. It was not easy to fight.

How can I let you take advantage of what comes down?"

"Then the Cao family is trying to get nothing out of a bamboo basket?" Chen Huaisheng followed what the other party said.

"Yes, the Cao family used to have plantations in Chenling in the south, Ma Tou Gu, and Tielushan in the west. But how can the aura of these places compare with that around Dahuaishan?" The innkeeper is a talkative person.

He kept talking: "If you go further into the mountains, you can still find some suitable places with abundant spiritual energy. But now the war is in chaos and monsters are raging. Who dares to go into the mountains to open a plantation? Are you seeking death?"

Chen Huaisheng nodded thoughtfully.

Spiritual fields and spiritual lands are not found just anywhere. Spiritual fields that can grow special spiritual plants have higher requirements for spiritual energy than spiritual fields that purely grow spiritual millet, jade, wheat and Jiahe.

In other words, there may be spiritual land for planting spiritual millet around Huaiyang City, but it is difficult to find spiritual fields suitable for planting spiritual plants. It needs to be found and reconstructed in the mountains.

Dahuaishan is undoubtedly the most suitable place around here, but it was controlled by the Chonghua faction, and the Cao family also lost this opportunity.

If you want to go further north, there are some deep mountains. Firstly, the distance is far, and secondly, the closer you are to the mountains, it means that the risk of monsters is greater, and ordinary Taoists or low-level monks will encounter first-level monsters.

It’s all very difficult. How dare you go into the mountains easily to open up spiritual fields and spiritual lands?

Chen Huaisheng thought this was an opportunity to cooperate with the Cao family.

Now there are only sixty or seventy disciples in Dahuai Mountain, and there are only more than a hundred mortals including Daozhong. Dahuai Mountain is vast, and there are many places suitable for planting spiritual plants. If we can cooperate with the Cao family, the Cao family can use their skills

, Dahuai Mountain can also provide some manpower, and everyone can discuss and distribute the harvested spiritual plants to complement each other.

However, Chen Huaisheng still lacks an intuitive understanding of the Cao family's spiritual plant planting ability. Since the Cao family has spiritual plant plantations in Chenling and Matougu, he will have to pass through this area anyway when he goes south, so he can go and inspect it.

Nothing happened all night.

When he got up early in the morning, Chen Huaisheng went straight south.

Matougu is only thirty miles away from Huaiyang City, while Chenling is slightly farther, more than forty miles away.

Ma Tou Gu is actually a rolling hill, about seven or eight miles long. From a distance, it looks more like a pile of dirt, but with lush forests and the Ma Tou River running through it.

Chen Huaisheng now looked more like a casual cultivator, and he did not have any markings on his body as a disciple of the Chonghua Sect, so he walked directly into the mountains calmly.

Soon I saw a sign at the bottom of the hillside, as well as a simple prohibition talisman, indicating that if I walked further in, a spell trap or prohibition would be triggered.

"Stay!"

There is a sentry tower on the hillside, which can overlook the surrounding situation within a hundred feet. The sound coming from the sentry tower uses some kind of special sound transmission device.

Soon two people came over. The first one looked Chen Huaisheng up and down, but realized that Chen Huaisheng was a monk, and should be a monk at the foundation level. The face of the visitor changed slightly, but he still remained calm, "This immortal

Master, why are you here? This is a private spiritual place and does not accept outsiders. Please forgive me."

Chen Huaisheng also saw that the person who came was not a mortal, but a monk and a Taoist.

The monk is about fifty or sixty years old, about the third level of Qi refining, and his temperament is quite good.

"Oh, I was passing by. I heard in Huaiyang City that there are spiritual plants being grown and sold in Ma Tou Gu, so I came to take a look..." Chen Huaisheng was not polite and said directly: "I am a casual cultivator in Ji County, Da Zhao.

, Huaiyang Cao family is good at planting spiritual plants, so we came to see if it lives up to its name. If there are any suitable spiritual plants, I would also like to buy some..."

Seeing Chen Huaisheng's tough and domineering tone, the middle-aged monk secretly complained in his heart, fearing that such a nameless but powerful rogue monk might offend these people and burn, kill, loot and run away. Where are you going?

Go find someone?

While gesturing to the Taoist priest next to him to warn him, he responded with a smile: "Oh, I don't know where this rumor comes from. The Cao family does cultivate some spiritual plants here, but they are all ordinary spiritual plants. They are not

Value, as for selling, I’m afraid I have to apologize to the immortal master. These spiritual plants of the Cao family are mainly used for their own medicines, and a small amount have been reserved by regular customers long ago and are not sold to the outside world.”

Chen Huaisheng also knew that the other party was suspicious, so he used such an excuse. He even saw the Taoist priest who was two steps behind quietly sending out a warning, but he didn't care.

I had no intention of buying, selling or plundering here, but I was just curious and wanted to see if there was anything unique about Cao's spiritual plant cultivation. However, I was a little surprised to see the other party being so vigilant and nervous.

"Oh? Not for sale to the public?" Chen Huaisheng pondered for a moment and then said: "That's okay. I've heard for a long time that Cao's spiritual plant cultivation is quite accomplished. I want to take a look. Please lead the way."

The middle-aged monk's expression changed, and he subconsciously took a step back: "Master Immortal, this is a bit difficult for me. This is the private property of the Cao family. I don't want to show off, and I ask Immortal Master for your understanding."

"The Cao family's private land?" Chen Huaisheng smiled coldly, "Who said this is the Cao family's private land? Is it the official residence of the Great Zhao Dynasty? Or is it the Beirong Golden Tent?"

As soon as Chen Huaisheng said these words, the middle-aged monk's heart sank. Is this a provocation?

The land of Yanzhou has always been a place of local self-government. How could the Beirong people or the Zhao government be able to control this place?

Within a hundred miles of Huaiyang City, apart from the An family, there are also the Cao family and the Kang family. However, the young casual cultivator in front of me has some unfathomable qualities. He only knows that he is at least foundation building or above, but it is unclear whether he is in the early or middle or high stages of foundation building.

Not coming out.

"Immortal Master, we, Wei Huaidao, serve Da Zhao and are in harmony with Beirong. We have always been good at self-governance. Our Cao family has cultivated this area of ​​Matougu for hundreds of years. This is not considered private land of our Cao family. So this

Is there any justice in the world?"

The middle-aged monk still kept calm and negotiated with Chen Huaisheng. He knew that there was no benefit in turning against him. His own strength was not worth mentioning in front of the other party. He could only wait for time until the elders from the mountain came. Fortunately, Cao Yuxiu

We happened to be on patrol here, and if it had been half a day later, Cao Yuxiu would have left for Chenling.

"Justice is not what you said. If there is no government to recognize the land and mountain covenants, then there is no justice." Chen Huaisheng shook his head repeatedly and walked straight into the mountains: "You don't need to be nervous, I just want to take a look at Cao Cao

The clan's spiritual cultivation ability has no other intentions. You can lead the way and explain it to me. Even if you don't sell it, I won't force you to buy it."

Seeing that Chen Huaisheng's attitude was tough but his words were polite, the middle-aged monk had never encountered such a situation before. He couldn't stop him and was afraid of arousing the other party's anger, so he could only bite the bullet and step forward: "

If the Immortal Master must see it, then please abide by the rules of private land and do not act arbitrarily. It is not easy to cultivate this spiritual field. If there is a slight impact, the loss will be considerable..."

"I am not an unreasonable person. If losses are really caused by me, I will compensate you." Chen Huaisheng said carelessly.

He casually took out a handful of spiritual sand from his bag. I am afraid there were not thirty or fifty of them, but the middle-aged monk was stunned. When did these casual cultivators become so wealthy?
