Chapter 106: Farewell, be steady!
"So, the last sneak attack and assassination was the evil cultivator's last desperate attempt?"
Xiao Changqing smacked his lips and said.
Of course he was happy that the evil cultivators could retreat.
Even with his current true strength, the evil cultivators' attack on Nanshanfang would not pose a threat to his life. However, he has been living here for more than ten years since he traveled through time. Nanshanfang can be regarded as his "hometown" in this world.
Naturally, they don't want to see this market destroyed and occupied by evil cultivators.
"Yes! Senior Xiao saved Nanshanfang from danger. All the cultivators in Nanshanfang should be grateful to Senior Xiao." Cao Hao did not have the dignity of a family head at all, and spoke the flattering words very skillfully and naturally.
They have all experienced life-and-death crises. If it weren't for Xiao Changqing's special support, he would have died long ago. This compliment really doesn't mean much.
Xiao Changqing was too lazy to pay attention to him.
He was thinking in his mind that today was the perfect day to end his "previous relationship" with this physical body, and to bring an end to his relationship with Zhou Yun'e.
If the evil cultivators retreated next and Nanshanfang was no longer in danger, he should also head for a wider world...
After building the foundation, the next goal is naturally to continue moving forward step by step towards forming a pill!
If building the foundation is the basis of building the great way, it is the beginning for mortals to truly step into the realm of immortality and pursue the great way of longevity.
Then, Danjie plays a key role in connecting the past and the future.
The foundation-building stage is considered to be a place where one can barely gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation, and is qualified to travel around and venture out, so as not to lose one's life in the face of some dangerous storms, and to experience the splendid side of the world of immortal cultivation. The elixir-forming stage is a sublimation, and is the capital to settle down in the vast and boundless world of immortal cultivation!
A Jindan cultivator will be respected wherever he goes!
Even the two major Nascent Soul sects in the Dayu immortal cultivation world would not easily offend a Jindan cultivator and would treat him with courtesy.
It is impossible to form a pill without leaving the Xiuxian Market and going to a wider world.
It's the same as the fact that no dragon can emerge from shallow water.
Even though Xiao Changqing has the system, he is no exception.
Not to mention that there are no high-level magic weapons in the Xiuxian Market, the system cannot extract higher-level skills.
No matter how powerful the skills are, the spiritual vein of Nanshanfang is only of the second-grade upper grade, which is a fatal flaw!
Even a Grade One cave dwelling is only enough to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building!
In order to form a pill, in addition to various opportunities, treasures, and talents, external spiritual veins are also indispensable.
A third-order spiritual vein is required to support a cultivator’s breakthrough to the Jindan stage!
"If the evil cultivators really retreat, I wonder what Master Xiao Fu's next plan will be?" Looking at Xiao Changqing's thoughtful expression, Cao Hao couldn't help but ask tentatively.
Xiao Changqing said with a half-smile: "Why, are you looking forward to my leaving Nanshanfang as soon as possible? Are you afraid that I will hinder your Cao family from dominating Nanshanfang?"
Cao Hao's expression immediately became stern, and he said righteously: "I would never dare to have such thoughts! I hope that Senior Xiao can live in Nanshanfang for a few more years, so that my Cao family will be safer."
Xiao Changqing smiled, not wanting to expose this person, and said calmly: "Let's talk about it after the evil cultivators really retreat. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. I've only been building my foundation for more than two months. I don't know how many years of hard training it will take to reach the middle stage of foundation building. It's still a long way to go. The spiritual veins of Nanshanfang can fully satisfy my cultivation for the time being."
"That's good...that's good..."
Cao Hao looked relieved and happy, but he was actually feeling miserable in his heart.
As long as Xiao Changqing doesn't leave Nanshanfang, it will always be like a sword hanging over his and the Cao family's heads.
Especially since Xiao Changqing was unwilling to reveal his strength and pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger, he was very worried that someone in the family would be blind and offend Xiao Changqing.
……
……
The evil cultivators really retreated.
One morning, just after dawn, Nanshanfang was in a frenzy, and many monks looked up at the sky in surprise.
The several huge war flying boats that had been standing outside the Nanshanfang formation had withdrawn at some point, and there was no trace of the evil cultivators outside Nanshanfang.
At the beginning, the monks in Nanshanfang were quite cautious and did not dare to go out.
As time went by, some brave monks could not help but go out to investigate. After patrolling around, they did not find any traces of evil cultivators and finally felt relieved.
After more than half a year of siege and attack, the invasion of the evil cultivators came to an end and Nanshanfang was safely defended!
In this war, many cultivators reaped great rewards, including spiritual stones, elixirs, and magical weapons that they would have difficulty obtaining in a lifetime. Their cultivation levels improved and their strength increased greatly.
After the war, class transition was achieved.
Of course, there are even more monks who died quietly and whose names were not even remembered.
On the third day after the evil cultivators retreated.
Mu Chunfeng came to Jiayi Cave, and Xiao Changqing met her.
"Friend Xiao, I came here today to say goodbye to you."
Mu Chunfeng looked at Xiao Changqing with a complicated expression, feeling filled with emotion.
Her thoughts seemed to go back to many years ago, when she and Jiang Jiuyue were having dinner at Laifenglou and happened to meet Zhou Yun'e and Hu Youquan. The two almost quarreled on the spot over the price of a dish.
Then, Jiang Jiuyue introduced Xiao Changqing to her so that she could win him over, and from then on, the gears of fate began to turn.
Who would have thought that a casual cultivator from a shantytown would be able to gain a foothold in the Lingfu Pavilion by relying on his extraordinary talent in talismans, and today he has not only become a second-level talisman master, but has also successfully built his foundation and become the number one person in Nanshanfang?
They would never have imagined that the Foundation Building Family, one of the six major families and a once prosperous family, would fall to the point where it had to rely on Xiao Changqing's protection to escape the fate of genocide.
"Fellow Daoist Mu, are you sure you want to go to Liyang Immortal City?" Xiao Changqing asked.
Mu Chunfeng nodded. "The Mu family has some connections in Liyang Xiancheng, so we have a place to stay in Liyang Xiancheng. And Jiyue is also in Liyang Xiancheng. Before the war started, she sent me several letters asking me to go to Liyang Xiancheng to find her."
In fact, there is another reason she didn't tell you.
She still has several years to go before she turns sixty, and she wants to go to Liyang Fairy City to try her luck and seek an opportunity to build her foundation.
The foundation-building pills in Liyang Fairy City are relatively common, and you can buy them if you have spirit stones.
If they went to other immortal cultivation markets, it would naturally be easier to settle down given the Mu family's current weak strength, but her hope of building a foundation would be basically cut off.
"It's tens of thousands of miles away from Yangxian City. The mountains are high and the road is long. Take care, Brother Mu. Have a safe journey." Xiao Changqing bowed.
Mu Chunfeng returned the greeting: "I wish you, Xiao Daoyou, a long and prosperous life on the path to immortality, and may you one day be able to reach the pinnacle of the golden elixir path!"
Done.
Mu Chunfeng turned and left.
But just as she stepped out of the gate of Cave Jiayi, the fog of the cave formation behind her suddenly opened again, and a figure followed out.
It’s Lin Ziyu.
"Miss Mu, this is a little gift from the master." Lin Ziyu handed a few talismans to Mu Chunfeng.
Two of them are the most precious second-level lower-grade talismans.
One of them is an attack talisman, and the other is an escape talisman, which are very useful for saving lives.
In addition, there are several first-level calming talismans and evil-breaking talismans. They are not needed at ordinary times, but if you are unlucky and encounter evil spirits like Ruan Bufan before, they can play a key role.
"This...is so precious."
Mu Chunfeng was a little at a loss.
The value of a second-level talisman is extremely precious, especially in a place like Nanshanfang after the war, where resources are scarce and the price of talismans is much higher than usual.
She now has to migrate a long distance, from Nanshanfang to Liyangxian City, which is thousands of miles away, and she may encounter many dangers.
These two second-level talismans are even more precious and can save lives in critical moments.
After Mu Chunfeng realized what was happening, she immediately prepared to take out the spirit stones. Although the entire Mu family's savings were now very little, she still had no idea where to buy the foundation-building pill after arriving in Liyang Immortal City.
But she also didn't want to bear such a great favor for nothing.
"Miss Mu, you're welcome. Please accept it." Lin Ziyu smiled kindly and said softly, "Take care on your journey! I hope we can meet again in Liyang Fairy City one day in the future."
After saying this, without waiting for Mu Chunfeng to react, he returned to the cave and disappeared into the formation.
Mu Chunfeng looked at the Jiayi Cave and stood there for a while before he solemnly put away the talisman and turned to leave.
This day.
Mu Chunfeng, with nearly one hundred remaining members of the Mu family, quietly left Nanshanfang and set out on the road to Liyang Fairy City.
The Mu family, which once flourished in Nanshanfang, has completely withdrawn from the stage of history.
Sensing Mu Chunfeng's breath disappearing from his perception range, Xiao Changqing also began to seriously consider when he would leave.
After much thought, Xiao Changqing decided to wait a few more years.
He had just established his foundation not long ago, so there was no bottleneck. With the second-grade superior spiritual veins in Nanshanfang, it was no problem for him to cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building. Just like Cao Hao cultivated to the middle stage of foundation building in Nanshanfang.
With his current cultivation speed and the aptitude of his earth spiritual roots, he should be able to reach the middle stage of foundation building in less than ten years.
After the middle stage of foundation building, the improvement of magic power becomes secondary.
After all, he has the Longevity Stone to convert and store solid magic power at the Golden Elixir level, so the difference between his cultivation in the early and middle stages of foundation building will not be too big.
But in the past few years, he has practiced nightmare techniques more, and coupled with the growth brought by the breakthrough in his cultivation, the growth of his soul is the most important!
Now the distance of his spiritual consciousness is forty-two feet, and with the doubling of the blessing of the Dragon Prison Bracelet, it reaches eighty-four feet!
In a few years, when your cultivation reaches the middle stage of foundation building, this number should be able to increase to more than one hundred feet!
In this way, once one reaches the true Jindan level, using the Dragon Roar Technique and the Nightmare Technique will not only be comparable to a Jindan True Person, but can actually kill an early Jindan True Person!
It is thousands of miles from Nanshanfang to Liyang Fairy City, and the journey is full of dangers, so the stronger your self-protection ability is, the better!
Moreover, even if we go to Liyang Immortal City, we will feel more secure if we have the trump card to kill a Jindan Zhenren.
Otherwise, when I go to Liyang Fairy City, I will have to behave myself humbly.
"Just stay here and grow for a while longer!"
Xiao Changqing suppressed his urge to go out and experience the world, and calmed down to practice.
As monks, we must be steady when necessary!
