Immortal Mansion Royal Beast

Chu Yunfeng, where the Chu family is located, is a fourth-grade superior spiritual land. As a strong competitor for the position of head of Qiyun Sect back then, Chu Zhen has been overbearing and tyrannical throughout his life, so naturally the spiritual land he occupies is also the best.

If only the Divine Transformation cultivators could occupy a fifth-tier spiritual land, Chu Zhen would have wanted to arrange a fifth-tier spiritual land for the Chu family.

Chu Yun Peak covers a large area. Along the way, Fang Qingyuan could see many empty buildings. Because there had been no cultivators to repair them for a long time, the formations were not functioning well and would stagnate from time to time.

This was caused by the Chu family's lack of sufficient cultivators. After Chu Zhen's death, those cultivators originally hired by the Chu family naturally dispersed and left, leaving only the Chu family's children, who could only maintain the situation with difficulty.

After crossing more than a dozen hills, Fang Qingyuan met the current head of the Chu family, Chu Shentong, at the main peak of Chuyun.

Seeing Fang Qingyuan coming, Chu Shentong showed a kind smile on his face. He didn't say any polite words, but just gestured for Fang Qingyuan to follow him to the reception hall.

Fang Qingyuan followed Chu Shentong. If he didn't know that Chu Shentong was a Nascent Soul cultivator, Fang Qingyuan would not have been able to associate the little fat man in front of him with the Nascent Soul at all.

There are rarely any obese Nascent Soul cultivators, because no matter whether they are in the Foundation Establishment Stage or the Golden Core Stage, they can spontaneously adjust their bodies to make up for their defects, let alone Nascent Soul cultivators.

Chu Shentong maintained this round appearance. Fang Qingyuan guessed that this was probably caused by the skills Chu Shentong practiced.

"I've always heard Senior Sister Hongshang mention you. You helped her a lot back then. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I'll help if I can."

Chu Shentong was not polite at all and spoke directly from his heart, which made Fang Qingyuan uncomfortable for a while.

Moreover, as he looked at Chu Shentong, he thought to himself that Chu Hongshang was actually Chu Shentong's senior sister. So by this calculation, how old is Chu Shentong this year?

"Then I'll have to trouble Senior Chu. I want to know how many Nascent Soul cultivators there are in the Zhou family, who they are, what their battle records are, their respective magic weapons and methods, and whether they are all in Qiyun now."

Fang Qingyuan asked what he was thinking. If the Zhou family attacked him, although his life would not be taken because he was still the head of the Great Zhou Academy, it was still possible that they would humiliate him in public and kick him out.

Therefore, Fang Qingyuan wanted to know the Zhou family's combat strength and which Nascent Soul cultivator was most likely to take action. If he could collect this information in advance, he would have a better chance of winning.

After hearing Fang Qingyuan mention this information, Chu Shentong hesitated for a few seconds, but finally told Fang Qingyuan.

Because this information is not public, and Fang Qingyuan is from Baishan, Chu Shentong's actions are suspected of betraying Qiyun's interests.

But thinking of the Zhou family's daily suppression of the Chu family, Chu Shentong naturally didn't care about it.

The Zhou family is one of the rotating leaders of Shuwu Peak, and its ancestor is naturally in the late Nascent Soul stage, but it is obviously impossible for the Zhou family ancestor to do these things personally.

In addition, the Zhou family has two Nascent Soul cultivators, namely Zhou Yun and Zhou Chaoxian. Among them, Zhou Yun is a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator and is in charge of the Zhou family. He is potentially the next head of the family.

If the Zhou family still cared about their face, Zhou Yun would not have taken action personally regardless of his status. Only Zhou Chaoxian, who was in the early stage of Nascent Soul, would have had such a motive.

Zhou Chaoxian has entered the Nascent Soul stage for more than a hundred years, and is the same age as Chu Shentong. However, unlike Chu Shentong who is humble and polite, Zhou Chaoxian is extremely wild.

This is also related to the technique he practiced, called the Molten Core Scorched Prison Technique, which is the dual cultivation of fire and earth. It is extremely domineering. Although he is in the early Nascent Soul stage, he has a record of fighting against a middle Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

With Fang Qingyuan's current realm, ordinary Jindan cultivators can pose no threat to him at all. But it is different for the Yuanying cultivators of Qiyun. As the first major cultivation sect in this world, it is basic for the Yuanying cultivators from Qiyun to fight against enemies who are one or two realms higher than themselves.

If Zhou Chao attacked first, Fang Qingyuan himself would not have the confidence to block it. Perhaps he could escape by relying on the Five Elements Divine Escape, but wouldn't that be what the Zhou family wanted?

Thinking of this, Fang Qingyuan felt a little depressed. I was just selling some pills and you came to cause trouble for me. This is really too much of a bully.

Chu Shentong saw Fang Qingyuan's thoughts, so he took the initiative to say:

"If you are willing, you can stay at my place for the next few days. No matter how rude the Zhou family is, they won't dare to attack me, Chu Yunfeng."

Seeing that Chu Shentong wanted to intervene, Fang Qingyuan quickly refused. He didn't want to cause more trouble for the Chu family. If the time came, he would just leave, and the Chu family would inevitably have to endure more targeting from the Zhou family.

"I will handle this matter myself. I have to thank Senior Chu for his guidance. I have no words to express my gratitude. Please accept this bottle of medicine."

Fang Qingyuan took out a bottle of Blood Amber Replenishing Yuan Dan and prepared to give it to Chu Shentong as a thank you gift.

Chu Shentong was naturally a connoisseur of value. He could tell that the elixir Fang Qingyuan took out was very valuable, so how could he accept it?

"A few words of advice are not worthy of this gift. It is called a gentleman's gift. It values ​​feelings over material things, and it values ​​righteousness over benefit. It is called friendship. It is not about material things, but about true feelings. How can I face you in the future if you do this?"

Chu Shentong's words rejected Fang Qingyuan's good intention. Fang Qingyuan thought about it and found that it was the same reason, so he changed his words.

"I'm in urgent need of spirit stones, so I came to Qiyun to sell this elixir in exchange for spirit stones. I've also offended the Zhou family because of this. If Senior Chu likes this elixir, why don't you buy a few bottles, so I don't have to run around so much."

Chu Shentong understood what Fang Qingyuan meant. Seeing that the gift failed, he decided to make a deal with a clear price. However, he could get some advantage in this deal.

At this point, Chu Shentong was not pedantic. If Fang Qingyuan was willing to make concessions, then he would take them, as long as it was not for free.

"Well, the clan's treasury is also short of this kind of medicine, but I'm short of money and can't buy much, so I'll just take two bottles."

Finally, Chu Shentong bought two bottles of Blood Amber Replenishing Yuan Dan from Fang Qingyuan at the price of 4,500 top-grade pills per bottle, which was 500 lower than the price that the Pei family paid for eight bottles at once.

In fact, Chu Shentong could obviously buy a few more bottles and resell them to make some profit, but he was reluctant to do so, because in his eyes, doing so would be unfair to Fang Qingyuan.

After receiving the pills and paying the money, Chu Shentong felt a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Fang Qingyuan took the initiative to talk about Chu Wen. Chu Wen successfully formed a Nascent Soul a few years ago, which was a good thing, but the other families in Qiyun could not tolerate having two Nascent Soul cultivators on Chuyun Peak, so Chu Wen was forced to move away.

The cause and effect of the Chu family being so hated can only be attributed to the late Chu Zhen. He openly killed Gao Guangsheng, who was also the head of the General Affairs Peak. To be on the safe side, he also used a magic weapon to completely destroy Gao Guangsheng's Nascent Soul. This was undoubtedly the biggest taboo for Qi Yun.

You know, after the small and medium-sized sects in Qiyun have won an attack, they will not kill any cultivators, as long as the opponent admits defeat and bows his head.

In this atmosphere, Chu Zhen's actions seemed so fierce and overbearing, which naturally caused more than 20 aristocratic families in Qiyun to be dissatisfied with the Chu family.

After Chu Wen achieved Nascent Soul, Qi Yun could no longer tolerate him. They hoped that Chu Wen would be as far away as possible. Therefore, Chu Hongshang had previously told Fang Qingyuan that the fiefdom designated for Chu Wen would be located far away on the vast ice field in the far east, hundreds of thousands of miles away from Qi Yun.

It's freezing cold there, and the resources are not abundant. If Chu Wen had a choice, he would not settle there.

"In the war of opening up over 20 years, Senior Sister Hongshang will definitely go over to help, and I can only stay in Qiyun and can't help much. If you have the energy to spare, you can take care of Senior Sister Hongshang. She has a hot temper. If no one is there to hold her back, she might do something crazy."

Chu Shentong seemed very casual about complaining about his senior sister. It was obvious that Chu Hongshang had left a lot of shadows on him during his growth.

"I don't know. Senior Hongshang is quite caring towards me. If we are assigned to the same group, we will naturally work together. As for whether I can persuade him, to be honest, I have no idea."

When it comes to Chu Hongshang, the two of them have obviously more topics to talk about. After they finished complaining about Chu Hongshang, the relationship between the two sides has invisibly become a little closer.

After staying in Chu Yunfeng for half a day, Fang Qingyuan chose to leave. It was impossible for him to hide in Chu Yunfeng and cause trouble for Chu Shentong.

So Fang Qingyuan chose to go back to Cao's house and prepare to retrieve the remaining magic circle parts that Cao Qingmei had promised.

As soon as we arrived at Cao's house, Cao Qingmei was already waiting in front of the mountain gate. At this moment, she had her hands folded on her chest, her smooth forehead reflected the red light of the setting sun, and half of her face was hidden in the shadows.

Cao Qingmei is very tall, at least eight feet tall, or about 1.8 meters, which is almost the same height as Fang Qingyuan.

Therefore, when Fang Qingyuan came to her side, Cao Qingmei could look Fang Qingyuan straight in the eye.

"The Zhou family has begun to take action. While there is still time, you should hurry back to Baishan."

"Is this considered caring for me?"

Fang Qingyuan rarely joked. He realized that he seemed too depressed when facing Cao Qingmei before.

Seeing that Fang Qingyuan could still make a joke, Cao Qingmei also smiled leisurely. At this time, the bags under her eyes became clearer, outlining the shape of a crescent moon. There seemed to be a light mist covering the bottom of her eyes, making them hazy and unclear, which made her look even more charming.

"It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. For Ah Jie's sake, I'll stop here. Zhou Chaoxian is a lunatic. Don't think that he won't kill you just because you are the head of the Great Zhou Academy. The reputation of the Great Zhou Academy is really useless in my Qiyun territory."

Fang Qingyuan believed what Cao Qingmei said. When Chu Zhen caused such a big incident, the Great Zhou Academy was also helpless. As long as Qi Yun did not hand over the people, could the Great Zhou Academy still attack Qi Yun’s headquarters?

But even though he believed it, Fang Qingyuan would not admit defeat. At most, they had a fight. So what if he was a Nascent Soul cultivator? He had fought him before.

"If I cared about the protection of the Great Zhou Academy, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today. No matter how powerful the Zhou family is, I have to give it a try. What if I can win?"

Seeing Fang Qingyuan's arrogant words, Cao Qingmei couldn't help but bend forward and get closer to Fang Qingyuan.

She took care of Fang Qingyuan, as if she wanted to find out the reason why Fang Qingyuan was so confident. After a few breaths, Cao Qingmei returned to normal. She said coldly:

"Ajie has made an appointment with the person in charge of elixirs in the Gan family through Gan Shihan. They are all in my Cao family now. Come with me."

Seeing Cao Qingmei's attitude change so quickly, Fang Qingyuan was a little puzzled. At this time, his spiritual power could not detect anything from Cao Qingmei. Fang Qingyuan could only vaguely sense that Cao Qingmei was not really angry.

Following Cao Qingmei, Fang Qingyuan met the person in charge of the Gan family's trip. This person was called Gan Buping, and his cultivation level was in the middle stage of the Golden Core. He had an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were a little more cunning than those of an ordinary Qiyun Taoist priest.

Seeing Fang Qingyuan coming, Gan Buping's eyes sparkled. He came up and shook Fang Qingyuan's hand, and said excitedly:

"Sect Master Fang, you must leave these pills to our Spiritual Medicine Pavilion. The price will be determined by the market, or even a little higher. We will take as many as you have."

Looking at Gan Buping's appearance, Fang Qingyuan felt a little strange. What he didn't know was that Gan Xia, the current Yuanying ancestor of the Gan family, was preparing to compete for the position of the next head of the General Affairs Peak.

There are only five positions in charge of Shuwu Peak. If the Gan family takes over, it means that one of the current five families will be pulled down.

Gan Xia is a low-key person. Although his medical skills have reached the pinnacle, he has been in seclusion for many years and seldom sees patients. Therefore, he does not have much influence among the vast number of Jindan cultivators.

The position of the head of General Affairs Peak naturally requires a high prestige, and the opinions of so many Jindan cultivators in Qi Yun are also a very important part of the evaluation.

Gan Xia was ready to make up for this shortcoming and had been planning to use other methods, but now that he knew that Fang Qingyuan had elixirs that could prolong the lifespan of Golden Core cultivators, and in large quantities, he sent Gan Buping to seize all the elixirs in Fang Qingyuan's hands.

This move is just the right opportunity to compete with the Zhou family. Over the years, the Zhou family has benefited countless Jindan cultivators with the help of the [Human Plum] spiritual tree. It can be said that 20 to 30 percent of the reason for the Zhou family's position as the head is due to this fruit tree.

From this perspective, the Zhou family has even more reason to prepare to take action against Fang Qingyuan.

Fang Qingyuan didn't know that he was drawn into the vortex of the struggle for the leadership of Shuwu Peak. He just thought that he came here just to sell elixirs.

Seeing that the Gan family was so eager for it, Fang Qingyuan did not make things difficult for them. It was going to be sold anyway, so it would be the same if he sold it to the Gan family.

So Gan Buping bought thirty-three bottles of Blood Amber Replenishing Yuan Dan from Fang Qingyuan at the price of five thousand eight hundred high-grade spirit stones per bottle.

The reason why there are thirty-three bottles is that Fang Qingyuan expressed that he really didn't have a single bottle left, otherwise thirty bottles would make it seem like Fang Qingyuan still had some surplus.

Seeing such a large-scale transaction, Cao Qingmei's eyes kept wandering around Fang Qingyuan. After Gan Buping paid all the spirit stones, Cao Qingmei's eyes became even more fiery.

Fortunately, the Gan family runs the largest medicine shop in Qiyun, so they have so many spirit stones in reserve. Otherwise, if it were any other family, they might not be able to take them out in such a short time.

After the money and goods were settled, Fang Qingyuan had no reason to stay in the Cao family. He refused Cao Jie's invitation, bid farewell to everyone and his friends, and on the second day, he left the Cao family's main mountain and flew towards the Baishan area.

The moment Fang Qingyuan separated the Cao family's mountain gate, countless spies began to take action, and the area around the Cao family was suddenly empty.

Fang Qingyuan simply sneered at this scene, then released his flying sword and headed back slowly.
