On the second day after the Lu family's strong return, Mu Xian personally came forward to entertain Gu Tianhao, Lu Lingxuan and others. ↗,
No one knows what was discussed at the banquet. They only know that on the next day, Fang Deng, Kong Xiangfei, and Lei Ba will return to their families to consolidate their power.
There are many affiliates of these three major forces, but the Lu family only summoned their own family and some forces that were unwilling to join the city lord's palace, and then did not take any further action.
Even so, due to the joining of the three major forces, the Lu family has added nearly ten god-level experts, and its overall strength has been greatly improved!
Mu Xian did not embarrass these three families. Since he is willing to join, he will treat them equally. Those with extremely high talents among the three families can enter the world of heaven and earth to practice after being reviewed, and can even join the Wuling Tianzong.
Three major forces have gradually formed in the entire Blue Moon City: the first is naturally the City Lord's Mansion and its affiliates, the second is the Lu Family and its affiliates, and finally the neutral forces such as Lu Lingxuan.
After becoming strong and stable, the Lu family still acted very low-key, only involved in weapon refining, medicine refining and business in Blue Moon City, leaving the rest untouched, giving others enough room for development.
In fact, the layout of Blue Moon City has been decided, and it is not easy for the Lu family to reach out. Lu Changfeng thought about it and decided to develop towards surrounding cities.
The territory is vast, and two large cities are usually nearly a thousand miles apart, requiring a teleportation array to reach them.
The Lu family used the teleportation array of the city lord's palace to attack the three cities surrounding Blue Moon City and set up their own martial arts shop in the city.
The Lu family divided into three elders, each with Lei Ke, Kong Fu, Long Xi and others, who were in charge of Wu Ling shops in three cities.
Mo Feiteng of the Alchemy Sect and Jin Tianhua of the Divine Weapon Sect have become the backbone of the Lu family in the two major industries. Although they are not short of refining artifacts and magical medicines, they can refine tenth-level elixirs and magic weapons.
This is already very good in the Earth Realm. Most of the gods and men in the Earth Realm still use tenth-level magic weapons, not to mention the vast number of Shenxuan Realm cultivators and half-step Earth Gods. Tenth-level magic weapons are the best-selling weapons in the Earth Realm.
The Wuling Shop sells various elixirs and magic weapons below the god level, and purchases various god-level herbs in large quantities. It also buys some rare materials and treasures, and can occasionally barter them.
The Lu family alone did not accumulate much wealth, but the large amount of money compensated by the Zi Lei Mansion, Fang family, Kong family, Tong family, Tie family, and Zifeng Trading Company was enough for the Lu family to create such a foundation.
The Lu family not only opened trading houses in the three cities, but also organized nearly ten large caravans to approach Blue Moon City and the surrounding towns of the three major cities.
Each city is thousands of miles apart and has countless small towns. You can usually find a lot of good things in these towns.
…
After Lei Bafang, Kong Xiangfei, and Fang Deng became the protectors of the Lu family, Mu Xian did not let them go out to work hard, but asked them to stay in the world of heaven and earth.
For Mu Xian now, the Dzogchen God is a fortune. If he controls it well, he can soon create three powerful earthly gods.
Among the three, Fang Deng has the greatest potential. He is the youngest and has the strongest combat power. He is almost capable of leapfrog challenges. He can become a Great Perfection God even if he is not even a step ahead of the Earthly God.
Entering the world of heaven and earth, on the third day after Mu Xian planted a restraint on him, Fang Deng realized the perfect rules of the world of heaven and earth and reached the half-step to the realm of earthly gods.
In view of his outstanding performance, Mu Xian specially gave him a fire magic weapon, and also gave him the Heaven and Earth Flame Technique, one of the nine best techniques of the Heaven and Earth Sect, for him to practice.
Mu Xian is not sure what the specific grade of the Heaven and Earth Flame Technique is, but as a top-notch technique among the major sects in the heaven, it will definitely be hard to find in the earth.
Once this technique is mastered, Fang Deng can completely master the Earth God cultivation level with half a step, and it is not impossible to defeat the early Earth God masters, and it is not impossible to severely injure or even kill them.
What's more, the fire lantern used by Fang Lan to ignite the seed of the divine soul is a divine object born and raised by the earth. Although it is not a world-class divine treasure, it also gives him great potential to advance to the level of earth god.
Lei Bafang and Kong Xiangfei's qualifications were slightly inferior, but they were equally extraordinary. They quickly felt the benefits of the world of heaven and earth and devoted themselves to cultivating in it.
Mu Xian's order to them was that they would not be allowed to leave until they reached the level of God.
…
Half a month later, Mu Xian woke up from training again.
In the past half month, he has absorbed the rules of heaven and earth in the Wutian Dao Stone, and has made great progress in cultivation, but he has never been able to take the final step towards the realm of gods.
It's not because the rules he mastered are too superficial, but because they are too mysterious and complex, and his field far exceeds anyone else's.
This made it impossible for him to awaken the seed of the divine soul and never enter the realm of gods.
"Sir, I have a way." Fang Deng saw Mu Xian and took the initiative to step forward and speak, "If the seed of your soul cannot be awakened, you can find a magical artifact that can entrust your soul and use it as a sustenance for your soul.
Using this carrier, the seed of the divine soul can be awakened quickly. This is the most common method of awakening in the earth, and it is more powerful than using pills to forcibly give birth to gods."
"I know this method." Mu Xian nodded, he could feel Fang Deng's sincerity, "Unfortunately, such divine objects are too rare, especially high-level divine treasures, which are almost impossible to find. With our current financial resources
It may be possible to find it, but they are relatively low-level divine treasures. If this kind of divine treasure is used to entrust the seed to awaken the soul, future achievements will definitely be limited."
He did not directly say that unless he could entrust his soul with a treasure-level divine object from heaven and earth, there would be no chance of being promoted to a saint in the future!
This is clearly recorded in the classics of the Heaven and Earth Sect. In the Heaven Realm, unless the person has extremely poor qualifications, almost no one will use the method of entrusting the soul to advance to the gods.
Fang Deng did not refute, the realm is different and the attitude towards things is different.
For the ordinary Earth God Realm, being able to advance to the level of God is already good. As for how far you can go in the future, it is really not something you can consider in the half-step God Realm.
Just like when he got the Fire Lamp Divine Treasure in a daze, he immediately chose to place his soul on it and quickly advanced to become a god.
Unexpectedly, with the power of the magic lamp, he could almost defeat those of the same level, and even challenge him beyond the previous level. This was why he warned Mu Xian.
He believed that with Mu Xian's current financial resources, it would not be difficult to find a better divine object than the magic lamp.
It's a pity that Mu Xian is not interested in this, his vision is far beyond Fang Deng's!
"Sir, the city lord's palace has sent someone here to invite you to the dinner to discuss the caravan." Lu Changfeng came in and reported.
"Okay." Mu Xian nodded. Gu Tianhao was interested in cooperating with Mu Xian to build his own business force.
Since it was a dinner party, only Mu Xian and Lu Changfeng were led into the inner courtyard of the city lord's palace. However, Lu Changfeng was stopped by Zuo Zhongling, the Western Military Advisor.
"What? Since it is a banquet hosted by the Lord of the City, why can't I, the head of the Lu family, go there?" Mu Xian looked a little unhappy.
No matter what, at least on the surface he is still a member of the Lu family. What's more, with his face, wouldn't it be okay to bring someone here?
"Mr. Mu, please forgive me. There are distinguished guests in the city lord's palace. My lord has personally said that you are the only one invited to come in." Zuo Zhongling lowered his head and said.
"Dignified guest? Who is he?" Mu Xian was a little surprised.
"This... please forgive me for not knowing this." Zuo Zhongling shook his head.
Mu Xian was slightly surprised. He and Gu Tianhao were only personal friends. If they were his friends in the officialdom, Gu Tianhao would not introduce them to him.
Besides, he had not been dating Gu Tianhao for a long time, and he really couldn't imagine who it would be that Gu Tianhao would invite him here.
After entering both courtyards, we arrived at the banquet hall. There were only four people in the hall, sitting on both sides of the table.
Except for Gu Tianhao, he could not tell the level of cultivation of the other three people, which proved that these three people were all powerful in the Earth God Realm.
"Lord City Lord!" Mu Xian raised his hand to Gu Tianhao.
"Brother Mu, why are you here?" Gu Tianhao's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the Western Military Advisor behind Mu Xian, "Zuo Zhongling, was it you who invited Brother Mu?"
Mu Xian sensed that something was wrong and turned to look at Zuo Zhongling, only to see that he had his head lowered and remained silent in response to the city lord's words.
"Are you Mu Xian?" Among the three strangers, a fat middle-aged man stood up and walked towards him.
"Exactly, may I ask who you are?" Mu Xian asked.
The next second, a slap that condensed the power of heaven and earth, carrying a sharp wind, suddenly hit his face.
Mu Xian's expression changed suddenly, the slap came very fast, and he sealed the sky and suppressed the earth. If he was slapped, even the Dzogchen God would be slapped away. It was simply not something that a Dzogchen cultivator in the Divine Profound Realm could compete with.
In a hurry, Mu Xian only had time to raise his hand to block!
"Bang!"
"Kacha!"
Mu Xian's arm was broken, and he flew away, hitting half of the courtyard wall, and fell miserably among the bricks and tiles.
"Chen Cangxiao, stop! How dare you?" Gu Tianhao was furious and was about to stand up suddenly, but a man beside him suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed him back heavily.
"Why don't I dare? Hahaha, Gu Tianhao, you are just the lord of a city. It seems that this position is about to be lost, but you still dare to interfere in my affairs... Lu Binghe, you won't stop me from taking action.
"The slightly fat middle-aged Chen Canxiao shouted arrogantly, but the last half of his sentence was directed at the young man in black who was suppressing Gu Tianhao.
"My mission today is to investigate the death of Mr. Zheng. This matter involves the city lord Gu Tianhao, so I must take him back to the county prince's palace. As long as you don't do anything to Gu Tianhao, the rest of the things are none of my business." The black man
The young man in clothes shook his head, not even looking at Mu Xian.
In the eyes of the majestic Earth God, a mere half-step god is no different from an ant!
Just killing an ant, is it worth his attention and obstruction? Obviously, not necessary!
While the two were talking as if no one was watching, Mu Xian slowly stood up from the bricks and wiped the blood from the corners of his lips with his hand. He looked at Chen Cang, the young man who did it, with a murderous look on his face and smiled.
"Your name is Chen Cangxiao?"
"Hey, you are not dead! Yes, you are worthy of being proud of being able to withstand my palm... Don't worry, I will never attack an ant a second time." Chen Cang smiled and looked at him with interest.
Just when Mu Xian was about to speak, the skinny old man who had been smoking next to him suddenly moved, and a black-green cigarette rod roared towards Mu Xian's eyebrows.
"I am the same as Deacon Chen. As long as you can block one move, your life will be saved." The skinny old man said slowly as the smoke stick hit the sky above his head. (To be continued...)
