Bai Qingzhou stood on the splint of the spirit boat, looking into the distance, and the scenery below kept passing by.
As he set foot on the road to Shuiyingfang again, he had many thoughts in his mind.
The last time I went there, the Xuanyang Sect was in high spirits, and the entire sect performed brilliantly in the arena competition.
But now, the leader of his family is dead and his reputation has plummeted.
"well..."
Bai Qingzhou sighed softly, shook his head helplessly, and turned back to the individual guest hall.
There are not many monks in the hall. Usually, 70% to 80% of the seats are occupied, but now only 40% to 50% are occupied.
But Bai Qingzhou didn't find it strange, because he knew the reason for the small number of people. The reason was that the number of monks in the Wuji Alliance was decreasing.
Due to the major reshuffle of forces in the Longhu Mountain area, many casual cultivators and sects in the Wuji Alliance rushed to the Longhu Mountain area in an attempt to obtain various resources.
Now there is a mess over there, with various forces and local forces colliding with each other's ideas, customs and cultures, and fighting endlessly.
Of course, this also led to some monks from Longhu Mountain who did not like fighting and preferred peace to sneak over to the Wuji Alliance.
The two forces are converging and merging.
Back in the lobby, Bai Qingzhou found a seat and sat down, closed his eyes and rested, waiting for his destination to arrive.
Due to the remote distance between the two places, the spirit boat stopped once when it reached the middle. When it stopped at the ferry, Bai Qingzhou did not get off the spirit boat. Instead, he directly spent a spirit stone to make up for the fee and continued to wait in the lobby for takeoff.
Not long after, the spirit boat flew again.
After nearly five hours of flying, we finally arrived at Shuiyingfang.
Walk out of the hatch and walk to the Shuiying Ferry.
This is Bai Qingzhou's first time coming to this ferry.
At first glance, he noticed the difference between this place and Luogu Ferry.
This place is actually bustling with people, with many people setting up stalls to sell various supplies and eat here, just like a market.
There are also many mortals helping to sell them.
This made Bai Qingzhou wonder.
Shuiyingfang is indeed the most prosperous city in the Wuji League. Even the ferry is more lively than other places.
But after thinking about it, he also understood why there were so many mortals here.
Because in Shuiyingfang, mortals are not allowed to enter at all, and the entire Xiuzhenfang City is full of cultivators.
Some mortals want to earn gold, so they can only go to the ferry and set up stalls.
Bai Qingzhou watched the excitement and walked around some stalls.
Whenever he sees something he likes and the price is not expensive, he will buy it.
Like a boy who throws away his wealth.
After wandering around for two sticks of incense, Bai Qingzhou used the [Immortal Wind Sculpture] and flew towards Fangshi.
Shuiyingfang stands on a towering mountain peak, surrounded by a mountain guard formation that wraps the entire mountain peak without a single blind spot.
Bai Qingzhou, who had seen the Longhumen Mountain Protection Formation, gained perspective. When he saw the mountain protection formation, he immediately felt that Shuiyingfang was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Because Shuiyingfang is too high.
If you want to attack Shuiyingfang, you have to control the flying magic weapon and attack the magic circle at the same time. You need to focus on two things. It is not like standing on the ground to attack at Longhumen, so you can imagine the difficulty.
After controlling the flying magic weapon to break through the white mist, Bai Qingzhou saw Shuiyingfang.
The overall area is several times larger than Luogufang, and the whole city looks quaint and intimidating.
Even though many monks in the Wuji League area have already gone to Longhu Mountain, the most prosperous area in the Wuji League is still crowded and extremely lively.
Bai Qingzhou put away his flying magic weapon and entered Fangshi on foot.
"It is said that the shops are located in the southwest of Fangshi. Let's go there first and have a look." Bai Qingzhou thought to himself.
Then he walked forward slowly.
The shops in Shuiyingfang also sell medicinal herbs. Although the business is much better than that in Luogufang, it still falls into the category of bleak business.
So after consideration, Nie Fangfang decided to let Bai Qingzhou change to a beast butcher shop.
Add income to the door.
After all, after a war, the spiritual stones in the door have become much richer, and he is eligible to change stores.
Along the way, Bai Qingzhou soon found his sect's shop.
But when he saw the store for the first time, his expression suddenly changed.
I saw that the plaque saying Baicaotang had fallen to the ground, the door panel was in tatters, there were still a lot of leftovers hanging on it, and rotten eggs were everywhere at the door.
An unspeakable smell wafted here, which was extremely disgusting.
"What is going on?" Bai Qingzhou was shocked.
Who attacked the store?
He panicked, pinched his nose, endured the smell, and stepped forward to knock on the door.
"Pop!"
As the knock on the door rang, there was an immediate noise in the house, including the sound of tables and chairs being bumped, and the roar of a teenager.
"How dare you fucking come!"
The tone was extremely angry.
With a bang, the door panel opened.
A young man of fifteen or sixteen years old emerged from inside, with a tiger-like appearance and an angry look on his face, holding a bench in his hand.
But when he saw Bai Qingzhou, his expression was obviously stunned, he put down the bench in his hand, and said:
"Senior Brother Bai...why is it you?"
"Fan Tianhe?"
Bai Qingzhou was stunned when he saw the young man. He didn't expect Fan Tianhe to be here.
He glanced at the bench next to him and the smell floating at the door, and he couldn't help but said: "What are you doing?!"
"Uh...Senior Brother Bai, there is a reason for this!" Fan Tianhe stammered.
"Then why don't you tell me quickly!" Bai Qingzhou shouted.
"Brother, come in first, it stinks here..." Fan Tianhe moved out of the way.
Bai Qingzhou had no choice but to step in.
Fan Tianhe hurriedly closed the door behind him.
Fortunately, the inside of the store is not as messy as the outside, but I can't bear to look at it. The shelves have been pushed to both sides, the benches, tables and chairs are all missing arms and legs, and are covered with dust. It looks very shabby.
Bai Qingzhou sat down on a relatively clean chair, looked up at Fan Tianhe who was standing, and said in a deep voice: "Why are you here?"
"Ah?" Fan Tianhe looked a little stunned and murmured: "I have always been here."
"When did you come? Why didn't I know?"
"Senior Brother Xie was summoned to the front line, and Deacon Chen sent me here. It has been several months."
Hearing what Fan Tianhe said, Bai Qingzhou immediately remembered that Xie Zhongjian was in charge of the store in Shuiyingfang before. Later, when they attacked Longhu Mountain, Brother Xie went to the front line with him. Unexpectedly, the store was handed over to Fan Tianhe.
No wonder I didn't see Fan Tianhe on the mountain that day. It turned out that he had been guarding the shop in Fangshi.
Suddenly Bai Qingzhou remembered something and asked him: "Who is the person in charge of Huoyingfang?"
"It's Senior Sister Meng Limeng." Fan Tianhe answered honestly.
"I see..." Bai Qingzhou nodded secretly. No wonder he didn't see Meng Li when he returned to the mountain gate.
After saying this, he raised his head to look at the reserved Fan Tianhe, frowned and said:
"Tell me, why is the door so dirty, why are the tables and chairs in the shop damaged, why is the shop so dusty, why is the door closed in broad daylight, what is going on?"
