Cultivation World 30 "Master, are you going to take action?"...

"Greetings, Immortal."

He first bowed deeply to Xie Yunsui, and then looked at the acquaintance.

Fu Hongwen never expected to actually meet Xie Yunsui, nor did he expect that his cousin who had been clamoring to become an immortal since he was a child but had no fate with becoming an immortal would actually become his disciple.

Fu Wenming took in his master's expression before stepping forward to help his brother up. "Second brother, why are you here?"

Xie Yunsui was also curious: "I heard that you came here specifically to see me?"

When Fu Wenming ran over to tell him that a clan brother had come to the Fentian Mountains, Xie Yunsui thought that it was someone from the Fu family who had come to visit.

At that time, Fu Wenming took advantage of the opportunity to get on his carriage and left Jinbao City. Later, he kept on traveling to catch up with them. I wonder if he ever wrote back to his family.

After Xie Yunsui arrived in Hualuo City, he had a lot of things to do and actually forgot about this matter for a while.

Originally, it would have been enough for Fu Wenming to come out and explain himself, but when Xie Yunsui heard that he was from Cangyu City and was the owner of a weapon shop, he changed his mind and came down the mountain to meet him in person.

Linglong Tower is currently a landmark and cannot be moved easily, so it remains in the Fentian Mountains. Little Bee and Qi Yan are stationed here.

Xie Yunsui took Fu Wenming and found Fu Hongwen at night.

Fu Hongwen said bitterly, "It's a long story."

Although the Fu family did not have much affinity with immortals, they had a good business mind. The disciples of the family went all over the country to do business. Fu Wenming stayed in Jinbao City with his father, while Fu Hongwen, who was from a side branch, went to Cangyu City.

At the beginning, the Fu family only did business with mortals and did not dare to interfere with the business of immortal masters. However, in many cities, mortals and immortal masters lived together. Many immortal masters opened shops to do business and earn spirit stones, but taking care of these mundane affairs delayed their cultivation, so they often hired mortals to manage and operate the business. As time went on, there were no boundaries in this business.

The weapon shop opened by Fu Hongwen is the least well-known one. There are almost no magic weapons in the shop, but there are many stores. He purchases all kinds of materials all year round and cooperates with other weapon shops. In this way, he has quietly accumulated a considerable family business.

"We've always been kind to everyone. When we meet a cultivator struggling financially, we're happy to pay to make friends. Lately... several of our shops have been plagued by people looking to pick a fight. They either complain about our low prices or the poor quality of the magical instruments we sell. Business has plummeted. That would have been fine, but when those people saw we couldn't produce high-quality magical instruments, they actually threatened to forbid us from opening a shop under the name of a weapon workshop."

"Something's fishy. I asked someone to go to the familiar weapon shops to inquire, but those I used to have good relationships with ignored me. The gifts I gave them were returned without a cent."

"The shops we once worked with no longer buy from us. They've all started to exclude us..."

Fu Wenming was annoyed, but he calmed down and thought carefully: "Why are these people picking on you for no reason? Does this happen in other shops?"

Fu Hongwen said, "There are two alchemy workshops and weapon workshops similar to ours. They both make a living by purchasing spiritual plants and refining materials, and they don't have any immortal backgrounds behind them."

Fu Wenming also owns quite a few shops and is used to this.

"I'm afraid someone has set their sights on your shop or the items in your store and wants to force you to sell them at a discount."

After a pause, he thought about how his cousin was older than him and had been in Cangyu City for more than ten years. He had just as much experience in running a shop as he did, so he should have noticed it.

Fu Wenming carefully studied his brother's expression again: "Second brother, do you know who is behind this?"

Fu Hongwen smiled bitterly: "Can't you see it even after all this? I spent a lot of money to arrange it, only to find out that it was Guiyuan Sect behind it..."

Guiyuan Sect is a legitimate immortal sect, and there are cultivators at the Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul stages within it.

When Fu Hongwen heard this, he knew that this time it might not be resolved by just spending some money.

But he still didn't understand why the disciples of Guiyuan Sect chose to find them?

Speaking of Guiyuan Sect, Xie Yunsui knew the reason.

At this point, Qi Ziming of Guiyuan Sect was probably short of money, so he found a few shops that had no background in immortal sects and resorted to some tricks.

The immortal sects are located in the mortal realm and have the responsibility to maintain peace and stability in the area. If there is news of them bullying mortals by taking advantage of their power, they will be spurned by other immortal sects. If there are those who use vicious means, they will be cleared out by the top sects and some will even be sent to the path of evil.

Therefore, even if Qi Ziming wanted to deal with mortals, he could not reveal his identity and bully them.

First, he would find a few mortals with bad reputations to cause trouble in the store, and then come back with the attitude of "solving the problem". If he met someone who was "sensible", he would naturally give them a lot of offerings.

Many times, mortals cannot afford to offend monks, so they just suffer the loss in silence.

However, Fu Hongwen was unwilling to use the assets he had run in Cangyu City for many years to support such an immortal master, which naturally angered Qi Ziming.

On the surface, they cannot do anything to mortals, but for a cultivator, taking a mortal's life is as easy as pinching an ant. The result of Fu Hongwen's unwillingness to go along with the crowd is that all the members of the Fu family in Cangyu City suffered.

Only one attendant, Zhao Wu, escaped.

When Xie Yan came out of retreat and went to Cangyu City, the Fu Family Weapon Workshop was no longer in the city.

During his investigation, Xie Yan met a mortal named Zhao Wu, who, like him, was secretly tracking down Qi Ziming of Guiyuan Sect.

Although the two people have different paths, they reach the same destination.

Xie Yan learned from Zhao Wu that Fu Hongwen's family had been killed, and he followed the clues to get to the bottom of the matter.

In the original plot line, the reason why the protagonist believed that the Guiyuan Sect was in collusion with each other and there was not a single good person was because he found out that the leaders of the Guiyuan Sect protected the subordinates, while the subordinates deceived and exploited the mortal people, and that both the leaders and subordinates harmed their fellow disciples and robbed their fellow believers, doing all kinds of evil.

"Guiyuan Sect is so powerful that even I cannot resist it. You came to the wrong person." Xie Yunsui said.

Such a major event as the annihilation of the Guiyuan Sect must be left to the protagonist; he cannot interfere and handle it.

Fu Hongwen smiled reluctantly, "How dare I embarrass the Immortal Master? I came to see you only to buy a few magical instruments from you."

"Master Xie's Ninth-Rank Lotus Platform and Space Gourd are renowned. With Master Xie's abilities, he could easily craft one or two magical instruments, which would become the treasures of a small workshop like mine. That way, those people would no longer be able to use the excuse of not having good magical instruments to find fault with us."

Xie Yunsui raised his eyes and said, "You know they're looking for trouble, but even if we have two treasures that are our most valuable possessions, are they going to stop?"

Fu Hongwen pursed his lips. In fact, he knew that this was just a drop in the bucket and could not solve the urgent problem.

But he has been running Cangyu City for more than twenty years, and the best years of his life have been spent here.

He married and had children here, and watched the store grow from one to eight. He was reluctant to spend most of his family fortune to support such an immortal master. It was difficult to give up his family fortune and leave, which really made him feel caught in a dilemma.

Fu Wenming patted his second brother on the shoulder and advised, "Second brother, you already know who is behind this and what they are planning. It's better not to confront them head-on. It's better to close the shop and endure this period. Maybe there will be a chance to come back again."

Fu Hongwen: “…”

That's easy to say.

If it were really that easy, why would he come to this stingy place?

If he hadn't been lucky enough to find out that Master Xie's disciple was his family member, and hadn't had such a relationship with him, it would have taken him forever to meet the Master.

Fu Hongwen felt bitter, but he couldn't say it. He looked up at the Immortal Master and forced an ugly smile: "I'm afraid this level will keep me locked up for the rest of my life."

"That's not necessarily true."

Xie Yunsui smiled at him and said, "You should rest for two years first. After two years, no one in Guiyuan Sect will be able to cause trouble for you anymore."

Fu Hongwen was stunned for a moment: "Really?"

Fu Wenming asked in surprise, "Master, are you going to take action?"

Xie Yunsui raised his hand and knocked on his head: "Is it possible for me to fight against the entire Guiyuan Sect with my Jindan cultivation?"

Fu Wenming: “…”

You said it so confidently, as if you knew that something would happen to Guiyuan Sect next.

"It's obvious that the disciples of Guiyuan Sect have acted like this more than once or twice, and they've offended more than just your family. Naturally, there are people who want to settle accounts with them."

Xie Yunsui didn't dare to be too definite, for fear that the appearance of this butterfly like him would stir up something and cause the plot line to deviate, so he didn't dare to be too definite.

Xie Yan still had six months to go before he could come out of seclusion. His investigation would take time, and without the Fu family's lead, it was unclear how long it would take to complete the investigation...

Huh?

If this introduction is gone, we can find another one.

Xie Yunsui asked, "Aside from you, are there two other families being targeted?"

Fu Hongwen said, "Yes, that alchemy shop has closed down and the owner is nowhere to be found."

"Is he missing, or is he dead or alive?"

Fu Hongwen was silent for a moment before he said, "I was busy with my own affairs and really didn't pay much attention."

Xie Yunsui calculated the time.

It has been more than three months since Xiaoxi left. I had originally decided to stay in the Fentian Mountains for half a year, and time has passed in a flash.

It has been such a long time and Xiaoxi hasn't replied, he is really a little anxious.

But since he had promised Xiaoxi to let him gain experience alone, he kept his word.

Of course, they also believe that Xiaoxi will definitely not miss her return date. Regardless of whether Xiaoxi has achieved Dan formation or not, they will go to Cangyu City.

I can follow Fu Hongwen's path, so I won't be confused when I first enter Cangyu City.

"I'll take whatever materials you have left in your shop and charge you the market price. For the time being, you should close the shop for now to protect yourself. I'll go to Cangyu City in two months."

Fu Hongwen was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you for your help, Master! I will go back and prepare all the materials in the shop and wait for Master to arrive."

Fu Wenming's eyes lit up: "Are we really going to Cangyu City later?"

Xie Yunsui said calmly, "I went there for something, not for you guys."

Fu Wenming smiled and said, "Yes! Thank you, Master!"

Xie Yunsui: "..."

I always feel like they misunderstood something.

never mind.

Xie Yunsui said to Fu Wenming, "Go and get that set of Five Elements Birth and Death Formation Flags to your brother. I'll teach you how to use them."

Fu Wenming nodded repeatedly.

As expected, although Master looks serious, he actually cares about his disciples very much.

Fu Wenming immediately took his brother's hand and walked aside: "Don't underestimate this set of formation flags. This is specially improved by our master. Although it is a mid-grade Huang-level magic weapon, even a Jindan cultivator can hold it for a while. Just insert it anywhere and place a few spirit stones to activate the formation. You don't have to be a cultivator to operate it. It's very simple..."

The problem that had been worrying Fu Hongwen for many days was suddenly solved.

It is really touching that Master Xie even considered the safety of him and his family.

Fu Hongwen thought secretly that hiding like this was not his style.

He didn't dare to offend the disciples of Guiyuan Sect, but he could contact the shops that were also forced into a desperate situation.

You can't just do nothing.
