Hu Meng landed in front of Fang Jian, bowed to him, and then said, "Greetings, fellow Taoist."
Fang Jian sat cross-legged in the clouds, his hands clasped together on his abdomen. After Hu Meng saluted, he nodded slightly and asked, "Are you the deity of Dianxiang Mountain?"
Hu Meng felt a little unhappy when he heard Fang Jian's tone. He thought to himself that even though I am only a sixth-rank immortal official, I am still an immortal official after all. Aren't you too arrogant to look down on me like that?
"Yes." Hu Meng was dissatisfied, so he responded indifferently. Then Hu Meng asked Fang Jian, "What are you doing here, Daoist friend? I just heard a loud noise. All the creatures in Mingcui Lake have died. It seems that a forest fire has also been caused. As the mountain god of Dianxiang Mountain, I have to ask about this. Please don't blame me."
Fang Jian said calmly, "I'm refining a weapon here. I failed and the furnace exploded just now. The loud noise and the mountain fire were all caused by that. I will leave after I succeed in refining the weapon. Don't worry, Mr. Mountain."
"This is my territory. I'd be surprised if I weren't worried!" Hu Meng thought to himself, then smiled and said, "Daoyou, you're wrong. As the mountain god of Dianxiang Mountain, I'm naturally responsible for all the creatures there. How about choosing another precious place to refine your weapon?"
Fang Jian narrowed his eyes, and the anger in his heart almost overflowed to the surroundings. Even Hu Meng could clearly feel the anger in Fang Jian.
But Hu Meng showed no fear. "What's the matter? Even though you are more advanced than me, do you still dare to attack and kill the immortal official in broad daylight?"
However, Fang Jian still suppressed his anger. He knew that most of his anger now came from the fact that he was tricked by Taishang Laojun in the "Introduction to Weapon Refining Outline", so he should not vent his anger on others.
His failure in refining the weapon had indeed harmed the creatures in Mingcui Lake and caused a forest fire. This was a fact, so Fang Jian suppressed his anger and said, "This place is rich in spiritual energy. I just want to refine a magic weapon for my disciple. I will leave after refining it. Please rest assured, Mr. Shan."
Seeing Fang Jian yield, Hu Meng immediately became even more stern and said, "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. However, no cultivator in Xiangshan is allowed to refine weapons or elixirs."
"Oh?" Fang Jian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this the stipulation of the Heavenly Jade Law?"
"No." Hu Mengyan said, "This is the rule of the Dianxiang Mountain God's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian asked again, "Do you have the right to make such a rule?"
Hu Meng said, "I am the mountain god of Dianxiang Mountain, so I naturally have the right to make such a rule. Fellow Daoist is not an immortal official, so how can you know this?"
"Oh..." Fang Jian said, "So that means you yourself have stipulated that no cultivators are allowed to refine weapons or elixirs in this Xiangshan Mountain, right?"
Hu Meng was about to answer, but was slightly stunned. He then said, "This god has made this rule according to the meaning of the Heavenly Jade Law. There is no need to ask so many questions, fellow Taoist. Please leave immediately, otherwise I will report it to the Southern Heaven Palace."
Fang Jian smiled, "Will Nantian Prefecture care about this kind of thing?"
Hu Meng also laughed and said, "If fellow Daoist kills any creatures in Xiangshan or disrupts the order of Xiangshan, Nantian Prefecture will certainly intervene."
"I see." Fang Jian looked at Hu Meng and said, "Officials have two mouths. It all depends on what you say, right?"
Hu Meng's smile faded, and he said directly to Fang Jian, "I will give you a cup of tea. If you haven't left in a cup of tea, I will file a letter to the Southern Heaven Palace, accusing you of disturbing the immortal official's residence, killing living beings, and violating the heavenly rules."
Fang Jian's expression darkened. "You're abusing your power like this, and you didn't even ask who I am first?"
Hu Meng said nonchalantly: "I don't care who you are, whether you are a Taoist cultivator or a Buddhist master, as long as you disobey the rules of heaven, you will be punished. If you leave now, it will be fine. If you persist in your wrongdoing, I will not only report it to the Southern Heaven Palace, but also write a letter to the
"Three Realms Inspection Office, do you know where the Three Realms Inspection Office is?"
Fang Jian asked, "Where is it?"
Hu Meng asked, "The Three Realms Inspection Division is responsible for inspecting the Three Realms. Do you know who the inspector of the Three Realms Inspection Division is?"
Fang Jian smiled and asked, "Who is it?"
Hu Meng said, "It was Master Hongqing Fang Jian, who suppressed Bodhisattva Baotanhua, destroyed the Zhenyang Dao Palace, and defeated Master Hongqing of Daotian Tower."
"Oh, it's him." Fang Jian said calmly, "Do you know him?"
Hu Meng said, "Although I don't know Master Hongqing, if I write to the Three Realms Inspection Office, there's no guarantee that Master Hongqing won't come down and arrest you personally."
Fang Jian looked at Hu Meng and pondered for a moment, then asked, "What if I must refine the weapon here?"
Hu Meng narrowed his eyes and smiled, "There are only two possibilities. One is that I write a letter to the Southern Heaven Prefecture or the Three Realms Inspection Office, and you are arrested and brought to the Heavenly Court for questioning."
"What about the second one?" Fang Jian asked.
Hu Meng said, "Second, you voluntarily hand over fifteen thousand-year-old immortal herbs. As long as you hand over the immortal herbs, you can refine pills here, not to mention weapons."
Fang Jian laughed heartily, then nodded and said, "I understand. I do have fifteen thousand-year-old immortal herbs, but do you really dare to take them?"
Hu Meng said seriously, "I'm not collecting it for myself, but to hand it over to the Heavenly Court for confiscation. Why don't you dare to collect it?"
"Okay, okay." As he spoke, Fang Jian waved his sleeves, and a fairy light flashed. Fifteen fairy medicines with a medicinal age of more than a thousand years appeared in front of Hu Meng in an instant.
"Thousand-year-old dragon-headed mushroom, thousand-year-old Hanyuan grass, thousand-year-old ice lotus..."
Hu Meng's eyes widened as he looked at the thousand-year-old immortal medicines before him. It wasn't until Fang Jian coughed that he realized what was happening. "Oh! Oh! If you hand over these immortal medicines to the Heavenly Court, you can refine weapons here for as long as you want."
Fang Jian smiled, then said meaningfully, "It won't be long."
After saying that, Fang Jian handed all the elixirs to Hu Meng, and Hu Meng accepted them all and put them into his storage bag without missing a single one.
