I have a little bit of talent

There are many peaks and mountain ranges around Xishan City, but there are only four peaks where the Sifang urban area is located.

Wuyun Mountain in East City District is the location of the Banshan Sect, Cangmang Mountain in North City District is the location of the Tianhe Sword Sect, Tianxia Peak in West City District is the location of the Xuanji Sect, and Yingfeng Mountain in South City District is the territory of the Fengshen Sect.

The four urban areas and four mountain peaks correspond to the four sects.

Although there are other sects in places farther away from Xishan City, none of them have as profound a foundation as these four sects, and none of them have grandmasters in charge. Although they have gradually declined, they were once major sects in Yizhou during their heyday, and they all produced powerful people at the level of grandmasters. If time goes back a few hundred years, the names of the four major sects in Xishan City would also be known throughout the world.

The Banshan Sect was founded by a Taoist monk from the holy land of Taoism. The magical skill of moving mountains and hills is well-known. Even the leader of the Liehuo Sect, Lou Yi, who has reached the realm of a real person, highly praises it. It can be seen that its inheritance is extraordinary. Now the leader Yue Ning has perfected the realm of Dharma and reached the peak of the master realm. Therefore, the Banshan Sect is the leader of the four sects.

The Tianhe Sword Sect of Cangmang Mountain is a sword-cultivating sect just like the Sword Sect of Luojian Mountain. However, unlike the Sword Sect which is a Taoist holy place, the Tianhe Sword Sect is a Confucian sword sect. The unique skill it teaches is the Confucian Tianhe Sword Technique, which is vast and unparalleled, with simple moves. The sword turns into the sky and uses a magnificent momentum to fight the enemy, which is in line with the Confucian way.

The Xuanji Sect of Tianxia Peak, like the Banshan Sect, belongs to the Taoist sect. They are good at calculating the mysteries of heaven and avoiding danger to seek good fortune, but they are not good at fighting with others.

As for the Fengshen Sect in Yingfeng Mountain, it is not one of the three religions. The founder was originally just an ordinary citizen of Xishan City. Later, he had a chance to practice cultivation and found the mysterious method of Tianfeng Yingshuang. After achieving great success in cultivation, he established a sect in Yingfeng Mountain.

Although these four sects have different origins of inheritance, they have been around Xishan City for hundreds of years. They help each other, and the disciples in the sect share what they have and have a very good relationship.

After Chen Xianxun challenged these sects a few years ago, their relationships became closer due to their common hatred of the enemy.

Seeing that Fang Mulu was proficient in all the classics and wanted to learn about many miraculous skills in the world, Yue Ning also owed a huge favor to someone, so naturally he set his sights on several other sects.

…………

Including the time Fang Mu spent in the Tianbei space to accept the test, he has been in Xishan City for more than ten days.

It was already late August, and the scorching heat was gradually fading away. From midnight to dawn, when the sun had not yet risen, the mountains felt a little cooler.

This is the case with Xishan City and also with Huaicheng City far away in Yanzhou.

Since Fang Mu saw through the conspiracy of Chen Changxing and others and brought these evil people to justice, there has been no more missing people in the villages and towns around Huaicheng. Even the interior of Huaicheng has been completely renewed with the appointment of the new mayor Zhang Wuliang. Not only has the public security environment improved, but government officials patrol the streets day and night, and even the business environment has changed.

Huaicheng was originally located on the edge of Yanzhou, and was separated from Tongyangcheng in Yangzhou by the Luoxia Mountain Range. In the past, merchants had to walk through the mountains and forests to transport goods between the two places, which was quite inconvenient.

Since Zhang Wuliang took office as the city lord, he ordered the repair and widening of the original mountain road to facilitate merchants to travel between the two places. This greatly facilitated the various businesses in Huaicheng. Even Boss Xie, who had already retired, had the urge to return to the business world.

Early that morning, Boss Xie got up early, which was rare for him, and prepared to go out for a walk with his son Xie Cheng.

Ever since he and Fang Mu experienced the dangers of the Luoxia Mountains and returned to his home in Huaicheng, he decided not to take the risk of traveling between the two places. He settled down to enjoy his retirement, accompany his wife and children, and lived a very comfortable life. Every day he either met with friends or took his family for a stroll.

"Don't play outside too late. Cheng'er still has homework to do." Mrs. Xie looked at the enthusiastic father and son and couldn't help but frown and speak.

It was a good thing that her husband was at home all the time, so she wouldn't be worried, but it wasn't a good thing for him to take his son out for a walk every day. She didn't take it seriously at first, but he went out more and more often during this period, and she couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.

Fortunately, her son Xie Cheng was very sensible. Although he was still young and had a playful nature, he never fell behind in his daily homework and became more sensible. This comforted her, and she couldn't stop Boss Xie from taking him out to play.

"Got it, ma'am. I will definitely not delay Cheng'er's studies. I haven't forgotten what Brother Fang said."

Boss Xie held Xie Cheng's hand and responded to Mrs. Xie with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, mother. I promised Uncle Fang that I would study hard and learn the truth so that I can start practicing in the future."

Xie Cheng's eyes widened as he happily followed Boss Xie out the door.

"Master, Madam, there is a scholar named Fang visiting at the door, claiming to be an old friend of yours."

Just as the father and son were about to leave, a clerk from Tongbao Commercial Bank ran to the backyard, bowed and said:

"The scholar named Fang? Or an old friend of mine? I don't even know any scholar!"

Boss Xie couldn't guess who it was for a moment and was stunned.

He was born and raised in Huaicheng. His family had been merchants for generations, and most of his friends were merchants. He had few scholar friends.

Not to mention him, even Mrs. Xie frowned slightly, unable to figure out who the scholar was and why he came to visit.

However, the young Xie Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Father, mother, this scholar's surname is Fang, could he be related to Uncle Fang?"

He was very concerned about what Fang Mu had said before, that he would find a teacher for him to guide him into spiritual practice. When he heard that it was a scholar named Fang who came to visit him, he immediately thought of what Fang Mu had said.

"Yes, yes, maybe it is related to Brother Fang," Boss Xie suddenly realized and touched Xie Cheng's head.

"My son is smart. I'll go check it out first. Madam, please prepare some tea. If this person is really related to Brother Fang, we can't neglect him."

After saying this, Boss Xie followed the waiter out the door.

Mrs. Xie naturally did not dare to neglect him, and quickly told Xie Cheng to go back to his room and not to wander around, while she went to the back hall to prepare tea and snacks. Fang Mu was a great benefactor of her family, and the visitor might be related to her son Xie Cheng's future, so she naturally had to pay more attention to him.

Boss Xie followed his clerk through the front hall and arrived at Tongbao Trading Company, where they saw a Confucian scholar standing at the door waiting.

"Sure enough, it's related to Brother Fang!" Seeing this Confucian scholar with a handsome face and a kind expression, although he was just standing still, he had a scholarly air about him, and it was obvious that he was a well-read person.

Fang Mu used Zhao Ming's Iron Fist alias when he was in Dushan City. Before that, he always showed his true face. When he was in Huaicheng, he lived in Boss Xie's home for quite a while. Only three months had passed, so Boss Xie naturally remembered his appearance.

The facial features of this scholar were clearly very similar to Fang Mu's, and their faces were even more similar. Although their temperaments were completely different, Boss Xie was certain that he was related to Fang Mu.

"This gentleman's surname is Fang? Is he a family member of Brother Fang Mu?"

Knowing that Fang Mu was a cultivator, this Confucian scholar must be of great background, Boss Xie hurriedly bowed and saluted.
