Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 107

[Chapter 106: Borrowing Money (Congratulations to the Silver Alliance!)]

“Second-level Spiritual Vein? What a generous act!”

Although Fang Xi was smiling, his smile was a little cold.

In his heart, he was secretly complaining: “Is this Lingkong Island Market preparing to compete with the Zhong family’s Treasure Ship Market?”

“Damn it, it’s only been peaceful for a few years?”

The Zhong family earned a large amount of spiritual stones and resources for cultivating immortals through the Treasure Ship Market. It would be a lie for the Thirty-Six Islands Alliance to say that they were not jealous.

It’s just that he didn’t dare to touch the Zhong family’s forbidden food before, but now he suddenly dares to do so. There must be something he relies on!

Beside them, Widow Wang was still chattering, “It is said that on the opening day, all the elixirs and magic tools in the shops in the market will be discounted… Many people on our Peach Blossom Island said they want to go shopping together!”

Although the market town is good, the surrounding area is bound to be dangerous and there may be robbers lurking around.

For monks who don’t have much strength, it is better to travel in groups to improve safety.

Fang Xi secretly prayed that no chaos would occur, let alone affect Peach Blossom Island.

He looked at Lu Guo who had a look of eagerness on his face, and immediately found a secluded place and began to teach him the first level of the “Changchun Jue”.

After seeing Lu Guo memorize it, he casually asked Widow Wang to give him some pointers.

He really didn’t care much about this kid.

“By the way, how do you feel about the people on the island during your time here?”

Finally, Fang Xi asked Widow Wang a question.

“Manager Feng is extremely graceful, and Island Master Ruan is like a fairy…”

Widow Wang rolled her eyes. “As for the mother and daughter on the Twin Peaks, I have never seen them. Could it be that the master wants to get information about the widow named Hua? In that case, I can…”

“Ahem, let’s talk about the Mu family again!”

Fang Xi coughed.

“The Mu family…” Widow Wang thought for a moment. She had recently made a close friend who was from the Mu family. “It is said that the head of their family, Mu, wants to go to the Lingkong Island Market to take charge, and he is trying to borrow spirit stones for this purpose!”

“Go to Lingkong Island Market?”

Fang Xi asked a few more questions and found out the details.

Taohua Island is also a member of the Thirty-Six Islands Alliance. Although its presence is not high, the manager of Lingkong Island Market still showed his appreciation by sending the deed of a shop over.

Ruan Xingling is considering opening a weapon refining shop and is looking for a shopkeeper.

Without a doubt, this is a lucrative job!

Not only can you practice on the second-level spiritual veins, but you can also interact with many cultivators and enjoy all the conveniences in the market!
In a market, in addition to various elixirs, talismans, and magic weapon shops, there are also auctions, restaurants, and even “Miaoyinfang” filled with various female cultivators…

“For such a lucrative position, the competition is bound to be fierce, and Mu Wen’s activity of borrowing spirit stones is inevitable.”

Fang Xi understood this very well.

“That’s right… But the Mu family is so poor that they actually want to borrow spirit stones from me. I can only take out one spirit stone from my body. Even if they are powerful!”

Widow Wang looked very indignant.

…

A few days later.

Lu Guo still did farm work every day, and then squeezed out time to practice hard.

On this day, Feng Manlou came to visit again.

In the courtyard, peach blossoms are in full bloom.

Feng Manlou and Fang Xi sat under the peach tree, tasting the spiritual tea.

“Fellow Daoist Fang, you have been very quiet during this period and are looking forward to a trip to Lingkong Market?” Feng Manlou made an invitation.

“Lingkong Market? I won’t go there…”

Fang Xi held the teacup in both hands, taking a sip from time to time.

In fact, it was amazing that he could run out of Emerald Cliff.

Moreover, the Lingkong Market may not be able to open smoothly.

He just didn’t believe that the Longyu Zhong family would remain indifferent to this. He had seen through this immortal cultivation family, just like the Situ family.

When their interests are not touched, they are still arrogant and domineering. Once their core interests are touched and their faces are torn apart, who knows how brutal they will be.

“Alas… Brother Fang is steady, but I have to go.”

Feng Manlou said bitterly: “The island owner wants me to be the shopkeeper, but there is nothing I can do…”

Fang Xi was not surprised about this.

Strictly speaking, he is in an alliance with the Mu family, the Wei family and Ruan Xingling, rather than a subordinate.

People like Feng Manlou are Ruan Xingling’s real subordinates.

When sending shopkeepers, you must use your own people!
“What? You don’t think it’s a good idea either? That’s a second-level spiritual vein!” Fang Xi said jokingly.

“Alas…Everyone knows that fish will eat people!”

Feng Manlou already considered Fang Xi as his own, and spoke more casually: “The alliance dared to challenge the Longyu Zhong family this time, so they must have something to rely on… But I just hope that the two sides don’t fight. After all, a piece of snow from a big force would be a disaster for us little cultivators!”

“Me too……”

Fang Xi sighed, and the two of them fell silent at the same time.

In the world of immortal cultivation, the opinions of lower-level cultivators are not important at all.

Just like in the Longyu Zhong family, whether to fight or make peace is actually just a word from the foundation-building ancestor above…

The same is true on Peach Blossom Island.

Even if Feng Manlou didn’t want to go, as long as Ruan Xingling said a word, he would still have to go!

While the two were chatting, Widow Wang came over and said, “Master… the head of the Mu family is outside asking to see you!”

“Mu Wen?”

Fang Xi thought about it and looked at Feng Manlou.

“Alas… this time he thinks I am his biggest rival for the position of shop owner, so I’d better stay away from him!”

Feng Manlou gave a bitter smile and said to the other party.

Fang Xi nodded naturally and asked Widow Wang to take Feng Manlou to hide.

A moment later, Mu Wen, dressed in brocade and looking a little more mature, walked into the courtyard. When he saw Fang Xi, he bowed first and said, “My nephew greets my uncle!”

“My dear nephew, please stand up quickly. How can I accept such a great gift?”

Fang Xi quickly helped him up and said with a smile: “You never come to the temple for no reason. You must have something important to tell me today!”

Mu Wen blushed, but said: “When our ancestor was alive, he always said that you were his confidant. We, the younger generation, should learn a lot from you… This time, my nephew is in trouble, so I came to ask Uncle Fang for help.”

“Oh? I wonder what it is?” Fang Xi asked knowingly.

“Uncle, do you know that Lingkong Island will open a market? My Mu family has reclaimed the Twin East Peaks, but the spiritual energy there is limited. The spiritual fields are at most 20 acres. As the population of our clan grows, the supplies are gradually running out…”

Mu Wen complained incessantly.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

Although the spiritual energy and spiritual fields of the Twin East Peaks are better than those of the Emerald Cliff, the Mu family has a large population and many cultivators.

When there are too many people, there are not enough resources to go around, and different branches in the clan often engage in intrigue over trivial matters.

It was fine before when Mu Xiu was around; his prestige was enough to suppress everything.

But when it comes to Mu Wen, he feels a little overwhelmed.

He therefore wanted to open up another source of income for his family, which was Lingkong Market!

As the owner of a weapon refining shop, it’s hard to say that he enriched himself, but no one could say that he was wrong to smuggle some goods to the market to sell for his family.

“…But, I need to take care of everything. I don’t have enough spirit stones in the clan treasury. Please lend me 100 spirit stones. I will definitely return it in the future, plus interest!”

At the end, Mu Wen bowed sincerely again.

“Mu Wen…”

Fang Xi blew the tea leaves slowly and said, “Lingkong Market is a den of dragons and tigers, not a good place. Isn’t it good to be a spiritual farmer peacefully? Look at me, your uncle, how carefree and comfortable I am?”

For the sake of the old Taoist priest, he still gave a suggestion.

“The most important thing for a cultivator is to fight! If you don’t fight! How can you have the resources to practice? How can you break through the bottleneck?”

Mu Wen suddenly raised his head and clenched his fists: “Uncle, you have given up on the path of Taoism, but I still want to succeed in building my foundation one day and bring glory to the family!”

Fang Xi: “…”

After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, “Although I have been farming for a few years, I don’t have much income. I’m afraid I can’t help you this time.”

“Uncle Fang, when our ancestor heard that you wanted to borrow spiritual stones, he agreed without hesitation…”

Mu Wen’s eyes suddenly turned red.

“Alas, it’s not that I don’t want to, but I really can’t. Please go…”

Fang Xi picked up the teacup and saw the guest off.

Mu Wen wanted to say something, but in the end he realized that he really had no relationship with the other party, so he could only stand up angrily.

After leaving the Emerald Cliff, he secretly complained: “Fang Xi, you are so good… I thought I didn’t know that your granary must be full of spiritual rice, but you didn’t want to lend me a mere 100 spiritual stones. The ancestor was really blind and chose the wrong person!”

He walked a few steps, and seemed to have thought of something. He held an invisibility talisman and hid on the side of the road.

…

“Alas… Brother Fang, you have good intentions, but I didn’t expect this person to…”

After Mu Wen left, Feng Manlou walked out of the room, shaking his head and sighing.

“It’s interesting to say that this Lingkong Island market, some people avoid it, but some people flock to it…”

Fang Xi laughed, took out a handful of spiritual rice and threw it into the pond.

The big black carp shook its tail and swallowed the magic rice quickly.

In fact… Fang Xi really doesn’t have much money.

There was basically not much pure rice in his granary, as it was all eaten up by Tai Sui, the big eater.

Of course, no matter what, one hundred spirit stones can still be taken out at will.

But which one is Mu Wen?

“That’s right…”

Feng Manlou touched his chin and suddenly asked, “Brother Fang and Taoist Xiumu seem to have a good relationship?”

“I guess so. It’s a pity that the younger generation is incompetent. I think the Mu family will be defeated by Mu Wen…”

Fang Xi suddenly smiled again: “But what does this have to do with me?”

“Thank you!”

Feng Manlou’s eyes lit up and he stood up and left.

He was just having a headache about this matter, and the best scapegoat came to him automatically.

And Fang Xi’s words meant that he had completely given up on Mu Wen.

He is not shy about using some tricks.

With Feng Manlou’s experience in the aristocratic family, Mu Wen is definitely not his opponent. If he fails, he will be sold out and help the other party count the spirit stones!
For example, if he finds Mu Wen and asks for a sum of spirit stones under the pretext of quitting, Mu Wen might really give it to him!
The small cloud and rain formation dispersed, and Feng Manlou flew out with the feather magic weapon, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

On the roadside, Mu Wen saw this scene and immediately gnashed his teeth: “Fang Xi… you little man, you didn’t lend me the spirit stone, but you associated with this family!”

“Ancestor, you have the wrong person. This person is the traitor among our three major families!”

He gritted his teeth, his eyes full of determination: “I will not admit defeat, I will let you see how the Mu family will be glorious in my hands!”
