Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 119

[Chapter 118 Night Raid (Congratulations to Baiyin!)]

One month later.

Fang Xi practices martial arts as usual and then comes out to get some fresh air.

Generally speaking, if you take a tour around the spiritual field, you are considered to have gone out today.

Just when I was thinking about going back to make the elixir or to study the formation, Widow Wang came back cursing.

“What happened?”

Fang Xi stopped Widow Wang and asked casually.

“It’s miserable, so miserable!”

Widow Wang looked unhappy: “Today the Mo family came to collect the land… The Mu family is in such a pity. The head of the family knelt down to them, but it was useless. Several old spiritual farmers died in the spiritual fields, and their blood was splattered on the spot…”

“Oh? Only the Mo family?”

Fang Xi was a little confused.

“It is said that the head of the Mo family made a deal with the head of the Feng family and got all the debt rights in his hands. I think he has been planning this for a long time and has been eyeing this land…” Widow Wang said angrily.

As a tenant farmer, she was quite disgusted by the landlord’s trickery and plunder.

“Oh, I see!”

Fang Xi quickly understood that one piece of spiritual land was not enough for the two families to share. Besides, it was just the inferior spiritual environment of the Twin East Peak. It was not impossible for the Mo family to pay more spiritual stones or other costs to recover part of the debt from the Feng family.

The head of the Mo family was in the late stage of Qi Refining!
With this person in action and Ruan Xingling not being there, Mu Wen was powerless to save the situation.

“The Mu family… is finished!” Widow Wang lamented, “Although I can’t stand the head of the Mu family, the Mu family is innocent… Thinking back to the days when the Mu family was at its peak, it’s only been a dozen years…”

Back then, when Mu Xiu established the foundation of his family, it made many nearby cultivators jealous.

Even Widow Wang had heard people mention it many times, and her words were full of envy.

It’s only been a few years?

Fang Xi doesn’t care about the future of the Mu family.

He had already mentioned to Ruan Xingling that preserving the Mu Zhong branch was already a great kindness.

As for Mu Wen? Who cares if he dies!
What Fang Xi didn’t expect was that in the afternoon, another person came to pay a visit. It was Mu Zhong!

This man was already old and frail, with a head full of white hair, but his eyes were bright and sharp. He was holding a pot of spirit wine, and when he saw Fang Xi, he bowed directly: “Nephew greets uncle!”

“Hurry up and get up. How come you have time to come here today?”

Fang Xi invited everyone to sit under the peach tree and asked Widow Wang to serve spiritual tea.

“I don’t want to drink tea today, I want to drink wine!”

Mu Zhong smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, poured out the spiritual tea, and filled a large bowl with spiritual wine.

Fang Xi smelled the wine and found it was very strong, very similar to the ‘Red Blood Wine’ he sold.

“Gululu!”

Mu Zhong gulped down a bowl of wine, his voice choked with sobs: “The master’s family is finished… Now that each family has lost their place to stand, they all come to me to take them in, but I only have two acres of land and a whole family to support. How many can I save?”

“I went to see the land harvest today… My second uncle was killed by hitting his head on a ridge!”

“Our ancestors fought through so many difficulties and spent so much effort to obtain this family inheritance land, but now it has been lost. How are we going to face our ancestors in the future? Wuwuwu…”

At the end of his speech, the old guy seemed drunk and started talking nonsense.

“Back then, the old ancestor was quite pleased with you… He said that Mu Wen had developed a proud character and was unfit to be the head of the family. He had already considered replacing him. It was a group of elders who persuaded him, including the old uncles from the second branch. But today you have ended up like this. I am saddened…”

Fang Xi didn’t say anything, just listened silently.

Mu Zhong drank to the end and seemed to be tired. He leaned against the peach tree, looking in the direction of the Twin East Peak, mumbling something, and slowly fell asleep…

A few hours later.

Fang Xi stepped forward and checked Mu Zhong’s breath. He heaved a sigh of relief when he found that he was still breathing.

After all, Mu Zhong is actually quite old and is approaching his death. In addition, he was traumatized today. It would be a bit troublesome if he died here.

“Could it be that this person feels that his time is coming and wants to die here on purpose to make things difficult for me?”

“No, not really… I was just venting my emotions, but I couldn’t tell anyone. I couldn’t go to Xifeng to look for an orphan girl and her widowed mother…”

He rubbed his forehead, sighed, went out and called Hai Dagui, asking him to carry Mu Zhong back to his home.

…

“Mom…”

In less than half an hour, Hai Dagui came back, as if someone was chasing him: “Too scary, too scary…”

“Hey, Dagui, what happened to you? Did you meet the Silver-Armored Demon?”

Widow Wang, who was leaning against the door, couldn’t help but sneer when she saw this scene.

“You didn’t see it. There were so many people crowded in Mu Zhong’s house… As soon as I went in and put the person down, someone pulled my clothes and asked if the master was still recruiting tenants… How could I tell outsiders? Then a few women pulled me and asked if I wanted a wife…”

As Hai Dagui spoke, a slight blush appeared on his face.

“Oh, I didn’t expect you to be favored by others. Back then, all the girls in the Mu family were very picky. Eh, that’s not right…”

Widow Wang bent over with laughter, and suddenly felt something was wrong: “Dagui, aren’t you in need of a wife? Why didn’t you bring one back? Are you afraid that the master will blame you, so you hide her outside? It doesn’t matter, bring her in openly, and I’ll talk to the master about it for you…”

“I don’t dare to marry a girl from the Mu family!”

Hai Dagui shook his head quickly: “Although I am in need of a wife, I also know how difficult it is, but I dare not accept one…”

“Alright, alright, let’s get back to work.”

Fang Xi listened for a long time and found that the topic was getting off track. He couldn’t help but come out and scold: “Do what you need to do… By the way, where’s Mu Wen?”

“I heard that after the Mu family’s patriarch’s land was confiscated, he had no face to stay in Peach Blossom Island and left directly…”

Hai Dagui told everything he knew.

Although the Mu family lost their spiritual land, they still have a certain amount of savings and can rent a cave. If that doesn’t work out, they can still rely on working as spiritual farmers or maids… It’s not that they can’t survive on Peach Blossom Island with their skills, but they will have to work much harder than independent cultivators.

But Mu Wen absolutely didn’t have the face to stay any longer.

This person might go to Lingkong Island, but unfortunately, the Mu family’s shop on Lingkong Island has most likely been exchanged to the Feng family, and it is hard to say whether Ruan Xingling will continue to appoint this person as the head shopkeeper.

Now that Ruan Xingling is gone, the young island master Ruan Dan is in charge. Judging from the fact that she dared to challenge him and stepped on him to become famous, Fang Xi is sure that this woman is a heartless person.

Half a month later.

late at night.

It’s a dark night with dark clouds covering the moon.

A figure sneaked up the Emerald Cliff and came to the small cloud rain formation. He took out a talisman from his arms. It was a first-level forbidden-breaking talisman!
Second-level forbidden-breaking talismans have extremely strict requirements on materials and the craftsmanship of talisman masters. They are extremely rare. In comparison, first-level forbidden-breaking talismans are much more common.

The figure cast a talisman to break the ban, opened a passage in the clouds of the small cloud and rain formation, and walked into the formation.

“Fang Xi…Go to hell!”

The intruder had a ferocious appearance, holding a magical weapon in his right hand and a small black bottle in his left hand.

The dark clouds dispersed, and a ray of moonlight fell on the man’s face. It was Mu Wen!
He looked at the cabin of Widow Wang and Hai Dagui, then looked at Fang Xi’s house, grinned, and moved towards the courtyard.

This time, he has made every possible preparation, and he will surely be able to…

“Um?”

The next moment, Mu Wen lost his balance, fell into the mud, and had a mouthful of mud.

“this……”

He looked at his feet in shock and found that dark tree roots had wrapped around his ankles without him noticing.

“What the hell is this?”

Mu Wen waved the black dagger in his hand, but was unable to leave much trace on the tree roots, and was horrified.

Although this dagger is not as good as the top-grade magic weapon Xuanjin Ring, it is also a mid-grade magic weapon!
The next moment, before Mu Wen could make up his mind, he risked alerting others and cast a powerful spell.

Poof!
A powerful pulling force came, pulling him into the soil!

There was only a small pit left on the ground, which was soon covered with soil by the tree roots that had curled back…

…

“Woo woo!”

Mu Wen had no idea what was happening and he fell from the top of the cave, getting knocked unconscious.

Soon, his limbs were entangled by tree roots coming from all directions, and he was lifted into the air, turning into a big character.

He looked forward, his pupils suddenly widened, and he saw an indescribably terrifying giant tree.

Fang Xi was sitting cross-legged under the demon tree, connected to the demon tree through an aerial root.

“This… evil cultivator? A monster?!”

Mu Wen screamed in surprise, only to find that his storage bag, magic weapon, and black bottle were all rolled up by the tentacles and sent to Fang Xi.

“Oh, isn’t this my little nephew?”

Fang Xi opened his eyes, walked over leisurely, and looked at Mu Wen: “Why are you free to come visit your uncle today? And at night?”

“this……”

Big drops of sweat slid down Mu Wen’s forehead. He wanted to circulate his magic power, but found that all the magic power in his body seemed to be blocked, and he couldn’t help but feel even more desperate.

Fang Xi took the black dagger and threw it aside. He looked at the black vial again and asked the tentacle to hold it from a distance and open it. He saw that the tentacle began to turn black and decay…

“It’s really hard for you to find a poison like ‘Hundred Dove Poison’ that has a strong killing power against cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining…”

Fang Xi manipulated another tentacle to cover the vial. Although the poison had no effect on him, he still had to be cautious. “But I don’t understand why you targeted me, your uncle? Is it because I’m rich? Oh, and Emerald Cliff is far from Mirror Moon Lake, so you’re not afraid of any noise? If you choose the mother and daughter of Gemini West Peak as your target, there will be danger of too many people and too many eyes? Or, are you still resentful that I didn’t lend you the spirit stone before?”

Mu Wen looked at Fang Xi in surprise, feeling that this person had hit upon every detail of his thoughts.

There is also this cave and the demon tree… This person is definitely an old demon. He was so scared that tears came out: “Uncle, please spare my life, for the sake of our ancestors… Woo woo…”

The next moment, his mouth was blocked by the wriggling vines, making it difficult for him to make any sound.

“Don’t be afraid, nephew. Your uncle will let you go if you do him a small favor…”

Fang Xi took out a gray seed and came to Mu Wen: “Uncle has never received the inheritance of puppetry, so I can only figure it out on my own. Please help uncle improve it a little bit…”
