“This is Howling City.”
Taoist Dahu stood at the foot of the Howling City and was a little surprised. Compared with the Burning Mountain, this place was like coming from a thatched cottage in the barren mountains to a fairyland on earth. They were two different worlds.
"With such prosperity, the Moling Villa shouldn't be too dilapidated."
It was the tiger demon who instigated the Taoist priest Dahu to come here.
It wants to go for a walk outside.
The Yangsheng Cave has bare walls on all sides and is really boring. There is a free farm on the left and right, so I must go and take a look.
The scenery of Howling City gave it a bit of anticipation for Moling Villa. A courtyard in such a large fairy city should be worth some money.
"Look at you. You used to be so brave and majestic, but now you have become so mercenary."
Taoist Da Hu was ashamed to be associated with the tiger demon, so he took a few steps back. Now that he had embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, he didn't need to care too much about external things.
The cultivation of one's own body is the foundation.
"You are noble and you are amazing."
The tiger demon rolled his eyes. If it weren't for its sense of morality, it would have abandoned Taoist Master Dahu long ago.
These days, people who eat only coarse food are really hard to please.
A man and a tiger asked passers-by and came to a courtyard. They saw a wealthy family with stone lions suppressing it, which was indescribably majestic.
In the yard, there are waterfalls and strange rocks, flowers and jade trees side by side, the spiritual energy is surging, and the servants guarding the gate dare not slack off at all.
"Guangxiu Xianzong's medicine house industry is not allowed to be peeped at."
A steward walked out of the courtyard and waved his hand, with the majestic bearing of a person from the Immortal Sect.
"Is this the Moling Villa?"
Taoist Dahu was not sure.
Before he could continue, the steward looked suspicious and asked, "Could it be that you are... the Great Tiger Taoist from Yangsheng Cave in Fenshan?"
He glanced at the tiger demon, and understood what was going on. His expression suddenly became respectful. Earlier, a message had been sent from Yaolu informing him of the new owner of Moling Villa, and asked him to wait patiently.
"Do you know me?"
Taoist Dahu asked in confusion.
"It turns out that the master has returned. I really deserve to die for offending the judge. I hope you will forgive me."
The steward had a meek attitude and told Taoist Dahu the news from the medicine house.
"What crime have you committed?"
Taoist Da Hu would not blame the steward. He entered the courtyard, looked around, and could not help but ask, "Did Elder Chen really give this place to me?"
Looking at the atmosphere of Howling City, you can tell that every inch of land is worth a lot of money. This courtyard, although covering a vast area, is extremely valuable.
Moreover, there are magic arrays underground, as well as three or two small spirit stone veins buried. It is truly a rare place for cultivation.
Practicing here will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"Yes, Master Lang, do you want to check the account books?"
The steward nodded with certainty, knowing that this person was not an ordinary person, so he did not dare to neglect him and handled all matters properly.
"And the account books? The courtyard is in full view. Is there anything that needs to be recorded?"
Taoist Dahu didn't understand the ins and outs of it and was very confused. The things in Moling Villa always gave him a sense of novelty.
"This is only part of it. Moling Courtyard also includes a medicine garden, spiritual stone mines, an elixir workshop, and three to five hundred slaves and servants."
The steward took out the account book, flipped through the pages one by one, and gave a brief explanation, but also revealed a huge amount of assets.
Just a villa like this and the property are enough to support two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"My goodness, Master Tiger, I feel a little dizzy. I really have to be a master now."
The tiger demon was shocked and felt dizzy, as if he was hit by a pie falling from the sky.
"This... gift is too generous, isn't it? Could it be that Elder Chen is giving me all his wealth?!"
Taoist Dahu was not happy but shocked. Mr. Chen had given him too much. He was worried that this young man would drain his own money dry for a moment's impulse.
If that was the case, he would never dare to accept this yard.
"Master Lang, you are joking. There are many medicine houses under the control of Elder Chen, just like the Moling Courtyard."
The manager smiled and shook his head, and explained to Taoist Dahu the wealth of the medicine house. It was immeasurable, and many of its industries were like golden gooses that laid eggs. As long as they existed, they could just sit back and collect money.
With such huge resources as support, preparing the raw materials for the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill can be done with great ease.
"He is in charge of the medicine house and can call the wind and rain..."
After listening to it, Taoist Dahu realized that Fu Yunzi was in a state of emotion when he wrote this sentence.
Mr. Chen is in charge of the medicine house and holds power. He has many means at his disposal.
I also deeply understood the difference between a casual cultivator and an immortal sect elder. At the same level, the latter is more powerful than the former.
…
White Jade Peak.
"But did you succeed?"
Fu Yunzi saw Chen Sheng returning with a happy look on his face, and thought that it was almost certain.
"Dahu Taoist was very generous and let me bring the Tiger Soul Grass back without saying anything."
Mr. Chen had a very good impression of Taoist Dahu, who was simple-minded and very righteous, so he easily let him bring back the Tiger Soul Grass.
"Is his life hard?"
Fu Yunzi stroked his beard, not at all surprised, and it was obvious that he knew Taoist Dahu's temper very well.
"really!"
We are family, so we don’t tell lies. Mr. Chen spoke the truth, and Taoist Dahu was in a rather miserable state of life.
"According to your personality, you should help him."
Fu Yunzi knew that Taoist Dahu was in such a bad situation because he was too particular about morality. He was always generous in helping his friends.
Generally speaking, people never have many true friends in their life.
If you meet someone who is not considerate, no matter how much wealth you have, it will be squandered.
"It turns out that the seniors have thought it through."
Mr. Chen was a little bit confused. Fu Yunzi used handwriting as a bridge of communication, and he might have meant to borrow his help to help Taoist Dahu.
Fortunately, he was a man who did not care much about material things. Seeing that Taoist Dahu was in poverty and out of gratitude, he easily gave him a villa in Moling.
If it were someone else, Fu Yunzi's plan would have failed.
"I gave it to him for free, but he wouldn't accept it."
Fu Yunzi did not deny that Taoist Dahu was a man of principle. Without the Tiger Soul Grass, he would never accept the Moling Villa.
After staying on Baiyu Peak for a while, Chen Sheng left and turned to think of ways to solve the problems of Longyuan Wood and Qingjun Stone.
"Elder, Elder Shen from the inner sect sent a document."
Outside the Longxing Hall, the servant had been instructed by Mr. Chen to pass on the document sent by Mr. Shen.
At this time, it is being strictly followed.
"Could it be that there is some clue about the other two kinds of spiritual herbs?"
Chen Sheng murmured something in his heart, feeling happy. He quickened his pace and came to the side hall. He saw the document on the desk and picked it up to start reading.
"The Danfeng Qi family has the Dragon Yuan Wood, but they are unwilling to trade. We must meet in person."
Mr. Shen really brought a clue to Mr. Chen.
"Interview? What do you want?!"
Seeing this request, Mr. Chen was actually somewhat happy. He was not afraid of the Qi family negotiating conditions, but he was afraid that the Qi family would remain indifferent.
After all, he is a man of rules and will not take things by force.
Danfeng Mountain.
There are houses arranged in a circle around the foot of the mountain. The higher you go, the sparser the population is, but the more finely built they are. There is a grand hall on the top, which is magnificent and extremely ancient.
At this time, there were three people standing in the hall, old, middle-aged and young, representing the three generations of the Qi family.
"The four hundred years of inheritance of my Qi family must not be broken!"
The head of the Qi family was a middle-aged man. The expression on his face was extremely solemn, and his eyes were flashing with ferocity, determination, and deep resolve.
"The Qian family does not agree to peace talks."
Qi Tianhao, the next patriarch of the Qi family, sighed. Everything was fine half a year ago, but the situation changed suddenly in the blink of an eye, and there was a danger of being overthrown.
Everything comes from the Qian family.
This is a family of immortal cultivators that is as powerful as the Qi family. The two families have been living in harmony for 160 years, but suddenly they broke their peace pledge and started a crazy tit-for-tat confrontation.
"Have you found out the source of those black-robed monks?"
What he was worried about was not the Qian family, but those black-robed monks.
The Qian and Qi families were equally powerful and bound by the oaths of their ancestors. It was strange that they suddenly turned against each other and confronted each other.
In the midst of the fight between the two families, several black-robed monks appeared. They had great magical powers and ruthless methods, and they seemed to be able to destroy the Qi family with ease. They defeated the Qi family repeatedly and suffered heavy casualties.
It can be said that the Qi family was not suppressed by the Qian family, but was suppressed by those black-robed monks.
"No, it just seemed to come out of nowhere."
Qi Tianhao shook his head. He personally inspected the situation but couldn't find even a single clue.
“That’s the scariest thing.”
There was a hint of profoundness in the eyes of the old patriarch of the Qi family. As an old man, he became more experienced and could always grasp the essence of the problem at the first moment.
There is no such thing as a cultivator who leaves no trace in the world. It can only be said that with their channels, they cannot contact those people at all.
This means that there is... a powerful, mysterious, malicious monk, or force, that has set its sights on the Qi family.
"There is a crisis hidden in the dark, and it is something we cannot solve."
The head of the Qi family felt a little powerless. They were a powerful force in this area, but compared with the bordering areas, they were nothing.
After all, the borderland is the world of the five major immortal sects. He said, "Didn't the people from Guangxiu Immortal Sect contact us a few days ago? Do you have any response?"
Guangxiu Immortal Sect is one of the five major immortal sects in the border area. If the elders among them can intervene, then even if the enemy is powerful, they will have to retreat.
"Clan leader, Chen Sheng, the outer sect elder of Guangxiu Xianzong, is here to visit."
At this time, a servant came in hurriedly and reported that an important person had come to visit.
"Please come in!"
The three leaders of the Qi family were all having a headache. Seeing that the person who could solve the problem had arrived, they could no longer sit still and went straight to the outside of the mountain gate to greet him.
They saw a young monk standing at the foot of the mountain. He was tall and upright, like a jade tree, with extraordinary grace, elegance and gentleness.
"A master of foundation building."
The old patriarch whispered.
This kind of majestic and unshakable power made him, a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of Qi training, feel uneasy. He was definitely a cultivator in the foundation-building stage.
"The Qi family is saved."
The head of the Qi family was delighted and regarded Chen Sheng as his savior. He welcomed him into the main hall with a respectful attitude.
"This time, I came here for the Dragon Yuan Wood."
Both parties sat down, and Mr. Chen did not beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
"Hahaha, this is a simple matter. Senior can take Long Yuanmu away at any time."
An elder of the Immortal Sect came in person, and he was also a master of the Foundation Establishment Realm. The head of the Qi family naturally could not refuse. He agreed immediately, but then pretended to be embarrassed and said, "It's just..."
Dragon Yuan Wood, a second-level spiritual herb, is extremely important to the Qi family, but it is nothing when it comes to the survival of the clan.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Mr. Chen knew that the Qi family would have to talk to him face to face, and they must have some plans. However, he did not get angry. A gentle look appeared on his face, and he waited for the next words.
"To be honest, my Qi family is in trouble..."
With these words, the head of the Qi family breathed a sigh of relief. The power and status of the two parties were too different. If Chen Sheng made it clear that he wanted to suppress them with his status as an elder of the Immortal Sect, they would have no choice but to submit.
Fortunately, this person follows the rules.
He organized his thoughts, told the Qi family about their difficulties, and even revealed the black-robed monk's secrets, treating others sincerely.
"As long as the elder can save the Qi family from danger, I will definitely offer the Dragon Yuan Wood to you with both hands."
The old patriarch said clearly.
"good."
Mr. Chen pondered for a moment and agreed.
Even though those black-robed monks are mysterious, they have to be secretive when dealing with the Qi family. I guess their strength is limited.
As a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, he should be able to take it on with ease.
The Qi family arranged an elegant garden house for Chen Sheng, waiting for the Qian family to take action again before using their powerful weapon.
"ah……"
A courtyard was filled with injured monks. Some of them could not bear the injuries and screamed.
He was a strong middle-aged man, his body covered with marks of burns. He had been poisoned by a Gu. The poison had penetrated deep into his bones, and whenever it flared up, it was like an ant sucking blood and eating away at his bones, causing him extreme pain.
"Uncle..."
Qi Tianhao looked at the middle-aged man, who was in so much pain, and wanted to do something, but found that he could do nothing. He could only stand there blankly, feeling very helpless.
"The fire poison is strange. We need to find an alchemist to remove it."
"Alchemist? That's easier said than done."
"Fight it, and you'll be fine once you get through it."
…
The injured monks were all silent. They fed the middle-aged man detoxifying pills, but they were of no use at all.
Fire poison is strange and only the right medicine can be used to save the person's life.
But it is so difficult to find someone who can prescribe the right medicine! Alchemists are worshipped by all the major forces and will not take action easily. The Qi family does not have the face to recruit people.
There are also idle alchemists, but the same principle applies. A small immortal cultivation family is not qualified to find an alchemist at will. It all depends on fate.
"Let me see it."
In the silence, someone spoke.
Qi Tianhao looked towards the source of the voice and saw that it was the Immortal Sect elder. He couldn't help but ask, "Senior, are you an alchemist?"
He knew very well that cultivation was cultivation, and the methods of alchemy were not equal to cultivation, but another kind of skill.
"I am the elder of Yaolu."
Mr. Chen said calmly.
"Elder Yaolu? A second-level alchemist?"
Qi Tianhao couldn't remain calm. He took a step back in a daze, making room for Mr. Chen to look directly at the patient.
Elder Yaolu is more than just an alchemist. He is the one who commands all the alchemists in the outer sect of Guangxiu Xianzong. He must be extremely proficient in pharmacology, alchemy, etc.
"The poison of the fire snake is no big deal."
Mr. Chen looked at the patient carefully, said a few words of comfort, and spoke the truth. This fire poison was very simple and not complicated, so it was easy to resolve.
As he spoke, he found three common first-level spiritual herbs in his storage bag, squeezed them into a ball with his hands, and fed them directly to the middle-aged man to swallow.
The people around were so frightened that they dared not say a word. The title of Elder Yaolu was enough to suppress their doubts.
"I... am done..."
After just a few dozen breaths, the middle-aged man who was howling in pain frowned and the pain suddenly disappeared.
He was a little unsure at first, and after shaking his body a few times, he realized that it really didn't hurt anymore. He checked himself and found that the burn marks had completely disappeared.
Plop! He knelt down and kowtowed three times to Mr. Chen.
"Senior, thank you for your kindness..."
He was in so much pain that he almost fainted, but he knew it was Mr. Chen who saved him.
Knowing that this man was an important figure with a very good heart, he admired him from the bottom of his heart and kowtowed to him sincerely, making his head bang on the ground with a loud bang.
"Thank you for saving my uncle's life."
Qi Tianhao was also extremely grateful to Chen Sheng, but when he saw a room full of wounded people, he tentatively asked, "Can you give them a look too?"
After saying that, he felt a little regretful.
This is the elder of the medicine house, an alchemist with extremely high skills in the art of alchemy. It is a kind-hearted act for him to help treat a seriously injured person.
How dare he ask for too much?
Mr. Chen glanced at the wounded in the hospital. Although they didn't say anything, there was hope in their eyes. They wanted to get proper treatment, but because of their face and qualifications, they chose to remain silent.
"good."
He smiled and nodded, and then from the gloomy clouds, he saw rays of joy that came from the bottom of their hearts.
The treatment process is very short.
Mr. Chen walked past the patients one by one, and almost every time he cured them, he managed to take three to five breaths. It can be said that he was able to cure any disease with ease.
He worked hard for a while, finished the work successfully, and received gratitude from the whole yard.
