Chapter 117 Prodigal and Departure (for subscription)
The news of Fang Xi's loss to Ruan Dan spread quickly on Peach Blossom Island.
Group Xiu's reaction...very flat!
After all, Fang Xi has been quiet for fifteen years, and she has no reputation. Even if she has, it is the reputation of the old turtle in Emerald Cliff, the first-rank low-grade alchemist, and the like.
And Ruan Dan is the proud son of the top-grade spiritual root, and is taught by the island owner Fairy Taoling carefully. He is also at the sixth level of Qi refining. It is normal to win, and it is shocking to lose!
Poor Ruan Dan didn't know that if she had stabbed deliberately at the last moment that day, the flying sword in her hand would probably have broken.
Moreover, this incident was quickly overshadowed by another incident!
The Mu family has collapsed!
Back then, the Mu family mortgaged the spiritual land, borrowed a large amount of spiritual stones from Xiangfeng and Mo, and put all their eggs in one basket to buy shops in Lingkongfang City. They thought that with the booming business in the market, they could always repay the agreed amount of spiritual stones every year. stone and interest.
But God doesn't obey people's wishes!
The 'Silver Armored Men' became more and more violent, and the business roads in Lingkongfang City were not cut off, but they were also greatly affected.
Mu’s shop doesn’t say its business is booming, it’s actually losing money every year!
Under the ebb and flow of each other, the annual spirit stones are naturally not enough.
It is said that Mu Wen even sold his top-grade magic weapon, mobilized the whole clan to donate spirit stones, asked for borrowing everywhere, barely repaid it for two years, and couldn't fill the gap in the third year no matter what.
Now, the Feng family and the Mo family already have the idea of reclaiming the land, and with the contract in hand, even Ruan Xingling is not easy to interfere.
The entire Mu family naturally looked like a mourner, borrowing spirit stones everywhere like crazy, but a group of people without roots, who would dare to lend them spirit 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, casual cultivators have worked hard for several generations or even a dozen generations, and finally obtained a piece of spiritual land as a foundation, but it is really rare for them to lose after the second generation.
Many Xiuxian families are even planning to use this as a classic case to educate their younger generations.
…
boom!
boom!
Hai Dagui held a **** with a medium-grade magic weapon, and worked very hard to cultivate the land.
"Uncle... Uncle save me!"
"As long as two hundred spirit stones... no, one hundred spirit stones!"
"My three families are connected with each other, uncle can't just ignore death... If my Mu family collapses, the next one will be your two families!"
Outside, occasionally there are subtle voices coming into the formation.
"It's so noisy, what are you mumbling about?"
Hai Dagui finished work on one mu of land, rested by the field, and drank tea.
"Isn't that the prodigal son? He used to be so arrogant that his nostrils were turned upside down, but now he's kneeling outside, begging for days..."
Wang Xiaohu walked over with disdain on his face: "My mother said that it is a bottomless pit that can't be filled...Master can't even make a move. He didn't know how arrogant he was when he called at the door. He thought we had such a bad memory and forgot all about it." Is it? I don't know how to have the face to return..."
"It's always so noisy, it's not a problem..."
Hai Dagui's face was full of disgust: "When I was refining Qi last night, I was frightened by his voice, and my true energy almost went astray..."
"The master is already adjusting the formation, and it is said that a soundproof restriction will be added... just bear with it, and now I have the right to bark like a dog!"
Wang Xiaohu yawned.
Suddenly, a white light shot up from the courtyard and mixed into the white mist.
One rune after another passed by like fish, and the crying of Mu Wen from the outside gradually decreased, and finally became silent...
"It's finally over. After listening to it for a few more days, I won't be able to sleep well."
Hai Dagui breathed out a long breath, and asked curiously: "How many spirit stones is a piece of spirit land worth?"
"I don't know, the pavement is probably this big and there are so many..."
Wang Xiaohu drew a circle, thought for a while, and opened his hands again, as if he disliked the circle he drew was a little smaller.
"Oh, my mother... this prodigal son! If I had so many spirit stones, I would hide them under the bed and watch with one eye while sleeping."
Hai Dagui was speechless.
"The key is the spirit stone? The key is the spirit land... this thing, even if you have the spirit stone, others may not sell it!"
Wang Xiaohu snorted.
…
Three days later.
Mu Wen was ashamed and left like a walking dead.
Within the house.
Fang Xi leaned halfway under the peach blossom tree and ate a mouthful of peaches.
Although these spirit peaches are not as good as the second-order spirit peach trees in the medicine field, they taste pretty good.
The taste is crisp and sweet, and it is not bad to satisfy the appetite.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and waved his hands to disperse the formation, revealing a passage.
The other party was wearing a pink and peach-colored skirt, with a plain face. The years did not leave too many marks on her body, only a hint of mature charm.
Fang Xi felt a little dazed when she saw this woman, as if she had returned to the time when she first came to Wandao Lake and Baochuanfang City.
"Meet the island owner."
He threw the peach hastily and stepped forward to salute.
"Fellow Daoist is really good at keeping a good face..."
Looking at Fang Xi's appearance of getting younger and younger, Ruan Xingling spoke with a smile.
"Heh... It's just a wood-type kung fu practice, which is more suitable for keeping the face, and it's just a good mentality."
Fang Xi shook her head.
Many wood-based exercises have the effect of retaining the face, and taking the elixir of retaining the face can even maintain youthfulness.
It is not uncommon for a cultivator to not look old.
Even if one does not practice wood-type kung fu, as long as one breaks through early enough, one can always maintain a youthful appearance.
There are even some special exercises that have the effect of 'rejuvenating youth'.
Ruan Xingling had taken Zhuyan Pill herself, so she didn't care about it at this time, she just smiled and said: "Young fellow is naughty, I hope fellow Daoists can't blame it!"
"Fellow Taoist has accepted this good apprentice, it's too late for my congratulations."
Fang Xi smiled slightly, expressing that she didn't mind.
At this time, he swept his consciousness and realized that Ruan Xingling had indeed broken through to the tenth level of Qi Refining. Now it seems that it's 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 successfully refined Qi will try their best to pursue the Foundation Establishment Pill, and even if it is not enough, they will also want the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Item.
Not preparing for anything, directly attacking the foundation building, not only has a high failure rate, but also a very high mortality rate.
Fang Xi definitely wanted to swallow the Foundation Establishment Dan. Although he was already somewhat sure of the Foundation Establishment, it was for nothing else but because the Foundation Establishment Dan could guarantee that the Foundation Establishment would not die!
For him, any possibility of death breakthrough is unacceptable.
Ancient foundation building, Wendao foundation building, Heavenly way foundation building...any breakthrough method with a probability of death, all go to one side!
I just want to swallow the breakthrough of Jidan!
The big opportunity is in your body, you must be as steady as an old dog!
Ruan Xingling started with his apprentice, then mentioned the Mu family's affairs, with a smile on his face: "To express my apologies, if fellow daoists plead for mercy, the island master can take care of the Mu family's affairs..."
At the beginning, the Feng and Mo families died one after another in the late stage of Qi refining. She was the one who stabilized the situation and escorted the Feng and Mo families to Fangshi to use their own family resources to buy broken-level pills... until they appeared in the late stage of Qi refining. , Stable transition, Yu two are of great kindness.
What's more, as the owner of Peach Blossom Island, he has the right to interfere!
"Sigh... Fellow Daoist Kuchimu has worked so hard back then, but he didn't want the Mu family to end up like this."
Fang Xi sighed: "Although I have a lot of friendship with him, how can I embarrass the island owner for my own self-interest? I also ask the island owner to deal with it fairly, as long as it doesn't affect Mu Zhong's line..."
Ruan Xingling nodded lightly: "Mu Zhong's lineage has already separated, and his family's spiritual field is not in the pledge contract, so no one will touch it... Alas, the island owner also thought that Mu Wen was too much for Mu's family. Take a risk, save some escape, and give fellow Taoist Kuchimu a consolation, but I didn't expect it to come true!"
"The changes in the world, how can I explain clearly, it has only been fifteen years..."
Fang Xi sighed with emotion, and suddenly asked: "Is the island master going out to find opportunities for foundation building?"
"It seems that my apprentice mentioned my breakthrough to you, and it is true." Ruan Xingling was startled at first, and then admitted frankly: "I was happy when I was young, but I was homeless when I grew up. Rewarded... and received good disciples, life is already complete, this foundation building hurdle must be rushed."
"Then I would like to congratulate fellow daoist on your foundation building achievement in advance."
Fang Xi solemnly clasped her fists and saluted.
"Thanks to your good words, I passed by here today, and I came here specially to ask for a glass of green bamboo wine, so I should see you off." Ruan Xingling smiled, and even her ordinary facial features had a hint of charm.
Fang Xi naturally went to take out the green bamboo wine that had been stored for several years, and treated Ruan Xingling well, and then watched the island owner leave...
…
Above the sky.
Ruan Xingling stepped on the magic weapon of the flower basket, stared at Peach Blossom Island and the direction of Emerald Cliff, and muttered to herself: "It turns out...it's really not you..."
Actually, she always felt that Fang Xi was a bit mysterious.
Moreover, when the Yinjia man attacked Feng Baimeng and others for the second time, Ruan Xingling guessed even more.
Although there is no reason, there is a coincidence in the matter.
But thinking of the opponent's cultivation, Ruan Xingling knew that she was suspicious.
Afterwards, she often came to Fang Xi for a drink, which was also a little tentative.
But after so many years, she can finally be sure that this person is an ordinary spiritual farmer. At most, there are some small secrets, but they are harmless.
People 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 Shining Armored Man reappeared, and Fang Xi was always on the island, never going out!
She even paid a special visit to Fang Xi to confirm that she was on the island at that time!
The two have nothing to do with each other!
Ruan Xingling couldn't help laughing when she thought of the suspicion that occasionally surfaced in her heart at the time, feeling that she was too whimsical.
"I don't know where is my foundation building opportunity?"
Ruan Xingling glanced back at Peach Blossom Island for the last time, lightly patted the magic weapon of the flower basket, and suddenly, amidst the fluttering petals in the sky, it turned into a pink light, and went away...
