Chapter 116: Prodigal and leaving (please subscribe)
The news of Fang Xi's defeat to Ruan Dan spread quickly on Peach Blossom Island.
The reaction of the cultivators... was very dull!
After all, Fang Xi has been silent for fifteen years, and has no reputation. Even if she does, it is the reputation of the old turtle of Jade Cliff, a first-level low-grade alchemist.
And Ruan Dan is the proud son of heaven with high-grade spiritual roots, and he has been carefully taught by the island owner Fairy Tao Ling. They are both at the sixth level of Qi refining. Winning is normal, losing is shocking!
Poor Ruan Dan didn't know that if she had deliberately thrust out the sword at the last moment that day, the flying sword in her hand would probably have been broken.
Moreover, this incident was quickly overshadowed by another incident!
The Mu family fell!!
The Mu family mortgaged their spiritual land back then, and Xiang Feng and Mo's family borrowed a large amount of spiritual stones and made all-out efforts to buy shops in Lingkongfang City. They originally thought that with the booming business in Lingkongfang City, they would be able to repay the agreed amount of spiritual stones every year.
Stone and interest.
But God doesn’t follow people’s wishes!
The 'Silver Armor Man' became more and more violent, and the commercial routes in Lingkongfang City were not only cut off, but also greatly affected.
Not only is the business of the Mu family's shop booming, it's almost losing money every year!
Due to the ebb and flow, the amount of spiritual stones produced every year is naturally not enough.
It is said that Mu Wen even sold his own high-grade magic weapons, mobilized the whole clan to contribute spiritual stones, asked for loans everywhere, and barely paid them back for two years. In the third year, the gap could not be filled no matter what.
Now, the Feng family and the Mo family have the idea of taking over the land, and with the contract in hand, not even Ruan Xingling can interfere.
Naturally, everyone in the Mu family went crazy trying to borrow spiritual stones as if they were mourning their heirs. But for a group of people who have no foundation, who dares to lend them spiritual stones?
As time approaches, it has become the hottest topic on Peach Blossom Island.
Even people from the outer islands know Mu Wen's name as the 'Prodigal Son'.
After all, it is really rare for casual cultivators to work hard for generations or even more than a dozen generations to finally obtain a piece of spiritual land as a foundation, but to fail in the second generation.
Many cultivating families are even planning to use this as a classic example to educate their descendants.
…
boom!
boom!
Hai Dagui was holding a hoe, a medium-grade magical weapon, and was plowing the land very hard.
"Uncle...Uncle, save me!"
"Only two hundred spirit stones... no, one hundred spirit stones!"
"My three families are in the same boat, so uncle can't just ignore him... If my Mu family falls, your two families will be next!"
Occasionally, from the outside world, there are fine sounds coming into the formation.
"It's so noisy, what are you talking about?"
After Hai Dagui finished working on an acre of land, he rested at the edge of the field and took a sip of tea.
"Isn't he that prodigal son? He used to be so arrogant that his nostrils were in the sky, but now he is kneeling outside and begging for several days..."
Wang Xiaohu came over with disdain on his face: "My mother said it was a bottomless pit that could never be filled... I don't know how to take action. When he came to the door, he was so arrogant. He thought we had such bad memories that we would forget everything."
Are you there? I don’t know how I got the nerve to come..."
"It's no big deal that it's always so noisy..."
Hai Dagui's face was full of disgust: "When I was practicing Qi last night, I was frightened by his voice, and my Qi almost went astray..."
"The master is already adjusting the formation. It is said that a soundproofing ban will be added... Just bear with it for a while, now you can just be like a dog barking!"
Wang Xiaohu yawned.
Suddenly, a ray of white light shot into the sky from the house and mixed into the white mist.
Runes one after another swam past like fish, and the cries of Mu Wen from the outside world gradually decreased, and finally became silent...
"It's finally better. If I listen to it for a few more days, I won't be able to sleep well."
Hai Dagui let out a long breath and asked curiously: "How many spiritual stones can a piece of spiritual land be worth?"
"I don't know. The floor should be this big and there should be so many..."
Wang Xiaohu drew a circle, thought for a moment, and opened his hands again, as if he disliked the circle he drew for being a little too small.
"Hey, my mother... such a prodigal son! If I had so many spiritual stones, I would hide them under the bed and turn a blind eye to them even when I sleep."
Hai Dagui was speechless.
"Is the key to the spiritual stone? The key is to the spiritual land... Even if you have the spiritual stone, others may not sell this thing!"
Wang Xiaohu sneered.
…
Three days later.
Mu Wen was disgraced and left like a zombie.
Within the house.
Fang Xi half leaned under the peach blossom tree and took a bite of the peach.
Although these spiritual peaches are not as good as the second-level spiritual peach trees in the medicine field, they taste pretty good.
The taste is crisp and sweet, and it's not bad at satisfying your appetite.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and waved his hand to disperse the formation, revealing a passage.
Among the petals in the sky, a female nun fell to the ground.
The other party was wearing a pink and peach-colored skirt and had a plain face. Time had not left many traces on her body, only a hint of mature charm.
When Fang Xi saw this girl, she felt a little confused, as if she had gone back to the time when she first came to Wandao Lake and met Baochuanfang City.
"Meet the island owner."
He quickly threw away the peach and stepped forward to salute.
"Fellow Taoist is really good at keeping good looks..."
Seeing Fang Xi almost getting younger and younger, Ruan Xingling spoke with a smile.
"Haha...it's just a wood-type technique that is more suitable for keeping one's appearance and having a good state of mind."
Fang Xi shook her head.
Many wood-type exercises have a beauty-preserving effect, and taking beauty-preserving elixirs can even maintain youthfulness.
It is not a strange thing for immortal cultivators to have immortal appearance.
Even if you are not practicing wood-type skills, as long as you break through early enough, you can maintain your ageless appearance.
There are even some special exercises that have the effect of ‘rejuvenating’.
Ruan Xingling had taken the Zhuyan Pill herself, and she didn't care at this time. She just smiled and said: "My little disciple is naughty, I hope you don't blame me!"
"Fellow Taoist, it's not too late to congratulate you for accepting this wonderful disciple."
Fang Xi smiled slightly and said she didn't mind.
At this moment, he swept his consciousness and realized that Ruan Xingling had indeed broken through to the tenth level of Qi Refining. Now it seemed that it was time to go out and look for opportunities to build a foundation?
Although Wandao Lake is vast, there are still too few opportunities for foundation building.
Basically, all monks who have perfected their Qi refining will try their best to pursue foundation-building pills, and even if they don't work, they will also need the same foundation-building spiritual objects.
Without any preparation, attacking the foundation directly will not only have a high failure rate, but also a very high mortality rate.
Fang Xi must swallow the Foundation Establishment Pill. Although he has a few percent confidence in the Foundation Establishment now, it is not for any other reason than that the Foundation Establishment Pill can ensure that he will not die if the Foundation Establishment fails!
For him, any breakthrough that involves death is unacceptable.
Any ancient method of foundation building, Wen Dao foundation building, Heavenly Dao foundation building... any breakthrough method that carries a probability of death, get out of here!
I just want to swallow the Foundation Establishment Pill to break through!
The great opportunity is here, you must be as steady as an old dog!
Ruan Xingling just started by saying that she was an apprentice, and then mentioned the affairs of the Mu family with a smile on her face: "To express my apology, if my fellow Taoist begs for mercy, this island master can take care of the affairs of the Mu family..."
Back then, the Feng and Mo families died one after another in the late stage of Qi refining. During the turbulent times, she was the one who stabilized the overall situation and escorted Feng and Mo's family to Fangshi to use their family resources to buy level-breaking elixirs... to last until the late stage of Qi refining.
Appearance, stability and transition will be a great favor to the two families.
What's more, as the owner of Peach Blossom Island, he has the power to interfere!
"Sigh... Fellow Taoist Kuchiki went through a lot of hard work back then, but he didn't want the Mu family to end up like this."
Fang Xi sighed: "Although I have a good relationship with him, how can I embarrass the island owner for my own selfish interests? I ask the island owner to deal with it impartially, but don't let Mu Zhong's lineage be affected..."
Ruan Xingling nodded lightly: "Mu Zhong's lineage has been separated, and his family's spiritual field is not included in the pledge contract. Naturally, no one will touch it... Alas, when the owner of this island presided over the separation of the Mu family, he also felt that Mu Wen was too
I just took the risk, left some way out, and gave fellow Taoist Kuchiki some comfort, but I didn’t expect it to come true!”
"How can we clearly explain the changes in the world? It has only been fifteen years..."
Fang Xi sighed with emotion and suddenly asked: "Island owner going out to look for opportunities to build a foundation?"
"It seems that my disciple told you about my breakthrough. It's true." Ruan Xingling was shocked at first, and then admitted frankly: "I was happy when I was a child, and I was homeless when I grew up. Later, I suffered a great revenge.
I have repaid... and gained a good disciple, my life has been complete, and this foundation-building step must be overcome."
"Then I would like to congratulate fellow Taoist fellow Daoist in advance for your successful foundation building."
Fang Xi solemnly saluted with clasped fists.
"According to your auspicious words, I passed by here today and came here to ask for a glass of green bamboo wine, so I should say goodbye." Ruan Xingling smiled, and even her ordinary facial features had a hint of charm.
Fang Xi naturally immediately went to take out the green bamboo wine that had been stored for several years, treated Ruan Xingling well, and then watched the island owner leave...
…
High in the sky.
Ruan Xingling stepped on the flower basket magic weapon, stared at Peach Blossom Island and the direction of Emerald Cliff, and murmured to herself: "So...it's really not you..."
In fact, she always felt that Fang Xi was a bit mysterious.
Moreover, when the man in silver armor attacked Feng Baimeng and others for the second time, Ruan Xingling's suspicions became even worse.
Although there is no reason, there is a hint of coincidence in the matter.
But thinking about the opponent's cultivation level, Ruan Xingling knew that she was being suspicious.
Afterwards, she often came to Fang Xi to drink, which was also a bit of a test.
But after so many years, she was finally able to confirm that this person was just an ordinary spiritual farmer. He had some little secrets at most, but they were harmless. After all, he was devoted to farming, had no agenda, and was very at home...
A person can hide for a while, but not for a lifetime.
After fifteen years of observation, Ruan Xingling still believes in her own judgment.
Not to mention, five years ago, the man in silver armor reappeared, but Fang Xi had been on the island and had never been out!
She even made a special trip to visit Fang Xi and confirmed that she was on the island at that time!
The two have nothing to do with each other!
Ruan Xingling laughed a little when she thought about the suspicion that occasionally surfaced in her heart. She felt that she was too whimsical.
"I don't know where my opportunity to build a foundation is?"
Ruan Xingling looked back at Peach Blossom Island for the last time, patted the flower basket magical weapon, and suddenly the petals were dancing in the sky, turning into a pink light, and suddenly disappeared...
