Chapter 90: Tough Attitude (asking for monthly ticket)
Mu Chunfeng actually has a foundation-building pill in his hand?
This was completely beyond Xiao Changqing's expectations.
After all, it is not easy for ordinary foundation-building families to obtain foundation-building pills. In some small cultivation markets, it is not uncommon for families to be wiped out in order to snatch foundation-building pills.
Just like the Cao family, even though the head of the family, Cao Hao, is already in the middle stage of foundation building, if there is a potential genius in the family who will build the foundation in the future, they will have to find ways to get a foundation building pill.
Only the Sun family of Taohuafang, with its family heritage and connections with a second-rank alchemist, would not be lacking.
Although the Mu family once prospered because of Mu Renjie, that time was too short, and Mu Renjie never left Nanshanfang, and had never heard of the Mu family's plan to make a foundation-building pill.
As if seeing Xiao Changqing's doubts, Mu Chunfeng smiled bitterly and explained: "This foundation-building pill was obtained by my father from the Zhang family..."
The Zhang family was the first to decline among the four major foundation-building families in Nanshanfang.
The reason is that the life span of the Zhang family's foundation-building ancestor has come to an end, and the Zhang family has no foundation-building talents.
At that time, the Zhang family wanted to form an alliance with the equally weak Mu family to fight against the Cao family and the Xu family.
In order to form an alliance with the Mu family, the Zhang family was very sincere. Although they asked Mu Chunfeng to marry into the Zhang family, they would also do their best to train Mu Chunfeng and even provide foundation-building pills to help Mu Chunfeng advance to the foundation-building stage!
By then, the Mu family will have a new foundation-building stage, and the Zhang family will also have one, killing two birds with one stone.
But everyone in Nanshanfang knew what happened to the Zhang family in the end. Mu Renjie came out of the pass and killed everyone in sight, showing his strength in the late stage of foundation building. He swallowed up the Zhang family and the Xu family in one fell swoop, forcing the Cao family to shrink back and dare not show up.
The Zhang family had previously exposed the news of the Foundation Establishment Pill, so naturally they could not keep it. Under the coercion and inducement of the Mu family, they contributed the Foundation Establishment Pill. As for Mu Chunfeng, of course he did not have to join the Zhang family.
"Before, the Foundation Building Pill had always been kept in my father's hands. It was not until last year when I reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and could try to break through the Foundation Building that I went to my father to ask for the Foundation Building Pill. But at that time, I didn't know why my father gave me the Foundation Building Pill and asked me to leave Nanshanfang and go to Liyang Immortal City..."
Having said this, Mu Chunfeng's expression became even gloomier.
Although her father fell into the devil's way and became an evil puppet, a walking corpse, killing innocent people indiscriminately.
But even in such a situation, he still retained a trace of rationality, just for his daughter, Mu Chunfeng.
Because at that time, when Mu Chunfeng had reached the great perfection of Qi training, Mu Renjie's original personality was almost completely blocked, and he had completely gone "insane", and decided to go on a killing spree in Nanshanfang.
He also knew that if he did so, he would most likely be wanted by the Luoxia Sect and would implicate his clan members.
So before deciding to kill Zhou Changkong, he let Mu Chunfeng leave first.
This was also the reason why Mu Chunfeng couldn't understand why her father Mu Renjie wanted her to leave Nanshanfang and go to Liyangxian City to build her foundation.
"Later, on my way to Liyang Immortal City, I was captured by Senior Gong, and I was unable to use the Foundation Establishment Pills here. After returning to the Mu family, I was constantly monitored by the Cao family, and my every move could not be hidden from the Cao family's eyes and ears. I could not find an opportunity to try to break through the Foundation Establishment stage. Because I knew that once I started to break through, the Cao family would definitely come to obstruct and sabotage me. By then, I would not be able to build my foundation, but would definitely die."
Mu Chunfeng explained the cause of the incident clearly.
Then he stopped talking and waited quietly for Xiao Changqing's decision.
She has known Xiao Changqing for many years and is very familiar with his character.
He is clear about gratitude and resentment, and is unwilling to owe favors to others, let alone do things like robbing elixirs.
Of course, if Xiao Changqing wanted to lose face and snatch it away, she would have no choice but to accept it.
She has now been forced into a desperate situation and has no other choice.
Xiao Changqing tapped his knees with his fingers, and many thoughts flashed through his mind one by one. He quickly made a decision and asked, "How do you want me to help the Mu family? Should I withdraw you from the front line, or something else?"
Mu Chunfeng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was extremely surprised. He quickly said, "The Mu family can contribute to the protection of Nanshanfang. We only ask that all the Mu family cultivators not go to the battlefield and rush to the front line, just like other families and gangs in Nanshanfang. Moreover, if Nanshanfang can resist the attack of the evil cultivators, after the war is over, I will lead the remaining members of the Mu family to leave Nanshanfang."
This is not too much to ask.
This is equivalent to telling the Cao family to stop targeting the Mu family and stop killing them all.
Moreover, if the war can be ended, the Mu family is willing to move out of Nanshanfang, which is a very wise choice.
"Okay. I'll go talk to the head of the Cao family about this matter later." Xiao Changqing nodded in agreement.
He had originally given up on buying the Foundation Establishment Pill and was prepared to rely on his own strength and talent to break through the Foundation Establishment.
Unexpectedly, in these last few days, there was a sudden turn of events and Mu Chunfeng brought a foundation-building pill.
It is true that there is no place to look for after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
"Thank you, Master Xiao Fu! The entire Mu family will never forget this kindness." Mu Chunfeng said gratefully.
Xiao Changqing waved his hand and said, "It's not a favor. I took your Foundation Establishment Pill, Miss Mu, so naturally I have to agree to help you. It's just a normal transaction." Mu Chunfeng said no more. After thanking him again, he got up and left without staying any longer.
Xiao Changqing then opened the jade bottle containing the elixir and poured out the elixir to check.
He didn't doubt that Mu Chunfeng dared to use fake and shoddy elixirs to deceive him, but both his predecessor and he saw this legendary foundation-building elixir for the first time, and they were extremely curious.
However, he also compared this foundation-building pill one by one according to the contents recorded in the 'Encyclopedia' of the Immortal Cultivation World.
After confirming that the pill was genuine, Xiao Changqing put it away.
"I'm going out."
Xiao Changqing said something to the Lin sisters, and quickly hurried out to find Cao Hao, the head of the Cao family.
Without further ado, after completing what he promised, Xiao Changqing will go into seclusion to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage!
Now that he had the Foundation Establishment Pill, Xiao Changqing's confidence in successfully establishing his foundation increased to 99%!
……
……
"Withdraw the Mu family from the front line?"
When Xiao Changqing found Cao Hao to discuss something, the Mu family's supreme elder was there too.
Hearing Xiao Changqing's request, his face immediately turned unhappy, and he asked in a sarcastic tone: "If the people of the Mu family are withdrawn, who will be arranged to be at the front? The talisman masters of the Lingfu Pavilion, or Master Xiao Fu you go up yourself?"
Xiao Changqing frowned and said patiently: "There are so many monks in Nanshanfang. If there is a reward, we can always find people willing to make contributions. After all, Taohuafang was able to recruit monks to help fight when they came here before."
The Cao family's Grand Elder sneered, "That's easy to say. Taohuafang has the Sun family providing foundation-building pills as bait, so naturally countless cultivators are willing to go there. What about our Nanshanfang? If Master Xiao is willing to provide the second-level talisman for free and no longer charge spirit stones, then this matter can be discussed!"
One after another, Xiao Changqing, who was like a clay man, also became a little angry.
Are these old guys so arrogant and like to take advantage of their seniority?
The last great elder of the Mu family who spoke to him like this and acted bossy had already died at the hands of an evil cultivator!
If others don't give him face, then Xiao Changqing will not stick his face to the cold butt. He looked directly at Cao Hao and asked, "Who is in charge of the Cao family now? Is it the head of the Cao family, or this supreme elder? Whoever is in charge, I will talk to him about this matter."
Cao Hao looked a little embarrassed and didn't have time to say anything to smooth things over.
The Cao family's Grand Elder stood up with his beard puffed and his eyes glared, and scolded: "Master Xiao Fu, I call you Master Xiao Fu because I respect you! When the war came, what did you do? You just hid in the back and drew talismans! But my Cao family is the main force to resist the evil cultivators! Every day we have to go to the front line to fight with the evil cultivators! In the past few days, I have killed more than 20 evil cultivators by myself! Master Xiao Fu, what about you? Not only did you not go to the front line to fight with the evil cultivators, but you also want to make decisions?"
Xiao Changqing sneered: "So, the Supreme Elder means that from now on, all cultivators of the Cao family are forbidden to buy talismans from me, right? After all, I am a useless person?"
"You..." The Cao family's supreme elder was speechless and his face turned red with anger.
The second-level talisman is currently the most lethal weapon against evil cultivators.
It can be said that the attacks of the evil cultivators in the past few days have had little effect. In addition to the defense of Nanshanfang and the countless cultivators fighting with their lives, the forty or so second-level talismans provided by Xiao Changqing accounted for at least half of the credit!
If the Cao family did not have the second-level talisman in the later stage of Qi training, the casualty rate would rise sharply and the merit would drop sharply.
"Master Xiao Fu, don't be angry. That's not what the Grand Elder meant..." Cao Hao finally stepped forward to smooth things over.
Xiao Changqing waved his hand and said without giving any face: "I haven't been on the front line to kill the enemy recently. However, I killed Mu Renjie, who was in the late stage of foundation building and even comparable to Jindan Zhenren! If it weren't for me, even if the Cao family hadn't been exterminated, they should still be hiding in the ancestral house and dare not come out, right? I killed Mu Renjie, and logically I should take over the Mu family's assets, and the people of the Mu family should listen to my disposal. I was too lazy to pay attention to these things in the past six months, allowing the Cao family to take advantage of them for nothing and eat up the huge assets of the Mu family. Now you still have complaints, right?"
Having said that, not only the Cao family's supreme elder, but even Cao Hao felt a little embarrassed and blushed.
indeed.
The Cao family did not contribute to Mu Renjie's death, but they became the biggest winner.
All in all, Xiao Changqing is the great benefactor of their Cao family.
If it weren't for Xiao Changqing, their Cao family would never have developed to this point. It would be good enough to be able to survive.
"The Mu family must withdraw from the front line starting today. They should contribute to the protection of Nanshanfang, and I won't stop them. But I don't want them to be targeted by the Cao family again. If the Cao family doesn't listen, then we can give it a try. Without the second-level talisman, can Nanshanfang easily withstand the attack of the evil cultivators? Anyway, I am alone and don't have much property. If Nanshanfang is lost, I will just run away."
After Xiao Changqing finished speaking, he turned around and left without giving the two a chance to refute.
All that could be heard was the faint angry roar of the Cao family's supreme elder.
But Cao Hao, the head of the Cao family, chased out at the last moment and said submissively, "Master Xiao Fu, I agree to your request."
It really won’t work without the support of the second-level talisman!
Not only will the Cao family's core members in the late Qi Refining stage be unable to hold out, but even Nanshanfang may be captured!
