The Xiuxianfang City on the Eastern Barren side basically adopts a semi-autonomous form.
Because the Shenmu Sect was separated from the Five Elements Sect, the forces of the four countries under its command actually originally belonged to the Five Elements Sect. However, in order to gain the support of the local immortal cultivating families in the four countries, the Shenmu Sect was divided into The governance rights of the city were promised to the Xiuxian family.
It is also true that in the first ten years after the separation, these immortal cultivating families in the four countries, even if they did not contribute to the Shenmu Sect, at least kept silent.
As for those who were restless and made small moves, they were either eliminated or escaped.
For example, the Yinxiao sect that Yu Lian belonged to before was one of the expelled examples.
After the Shenmu Sect Jinguangya reconciled with the Five Elements Sect, the Immortal Cultivating Families that had contributed before naturally obtained the management rights of these cities.
Among them, Yuhufang City belongs to the Fu family.
The news of Chen Mobai's arrival in Fangshi quickly reached the Fu family's ears.
An hour later, Fu Xiuzuo, the head of the Fu family, rushed over in person.
"Meet the guard."
Fu Xiuzuo is a middle-aged man who looks very elegant in appearance. His neat and thick black beard makes him very unsophisticated.
"Clan Chief Fu, you're welcome. You and I can treat each other as brothers and sisters."
Chen Mobai knew that this man was Patriarch Fu's nephew, and he was also a disciple of the Shenmu Sect.
However, the Fu family suffered heavy losses during the battle with the Five Elements Sect. All three foundation-building monks died in the battle, so Patriarch Fu asked Fu Xiuzuo to withdraw from the sect and return to the family to reorganize the country.
"Junior Brother Chen."
When Fu Xiuzuo heard what Chen Mobai said, he changed his title with a smile.
The two of them greeted each other on the street in Fangshi. People in the shops on both sides knew Fu Xiuzuo, the head of the Fu family, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw him coming over in person.
You must know that when the previous guard Liu Ruzhong just took office, Fu Xiuzuo did not treat him so seriously. Liu Ruzhong even went to Fu's house to visit him in person.
Where did the new guard of Shenmu Sect come from?
The eyes of the immortal cultivators in Yuhufang City who saw this scene changed, and they began to ask people around them about Chen Mobai's origins.
After a while, I heard about it from the disciples of Shenmu Sect.
"I didn't expect it to be him!"
"The number one swordsman in the Shenmu Sect, Chen Guixian!"
"It is said that his combat power is second only to the two ancestors of the Shenmu Sect. I thought it was an exaggeration at first, but now it seems that he is probably well-deserved."
"Is the Shenmu Sect really about to rise? It is said that the former head Meng Hong is also forming an elixir. Coupled with Chen Guixian, Hong He and other young geniuses who have established foundations, it is not impossible to take charge of the Five Elements Sect in the future."
Chen Mobai and Fu Xiuzuo, two foundation-building monks, naturally listened to the crowd's comments, but they just looked at each other and smiled. At the latter's invitation, they went to the Heavenly Dinner in Yuhufang City. building.
The Heavenly Dining Tower is also a well-known force in the Eastern Wasteland. It claims to use food to cultivate Qi, devouring delicacies from all spirits, and smelting a mouthful of mixed Qi.
However, the headquarters of Tianfanlou is not in Donghuang, but in the distant Dongtu territory.
Over the years, Chen Mobai has also learned about the general situation of the place where Donghuang is located.
The monks collectively call this place the Eastern Territory.
There are six realms in the Eastern Territory, namely Donghuang, Dongyi, Dongwu, Dongyue, Dongtu, and Dongli.
Among them, the Eastern Wasteland is a remote place and its cultivation resources are considered "poor".
And what borders Donghuang is Dongyi Territory.
In fact, the seven major sects of the Eastern Barren basically all had to move to the Eastern Barren after they could no longer survive in the Dongyi territory.
There are three major sects in Dongyi, namely Xuanhuo Dao Palace, Kongsang Valley, and Yurihai.
They are all big forces with Nascent Soul at their command. Their influence radiates throughout the six realms of the Eastern Territory, and they are also quite famous in the Eastern Territory.
In the past, when Patriarch Hunyuan was still around, the Five Elements Sect and Yuri Xuanhai
If you make good friends, you can be considered a powerful force.
In the Eastern Territory, the one with the same status as the Eastern Wilderness Territory is the Soochow Territory. The two realms can also be considered as bordering each other. The border is Yunmeng Daze. After crossing this thousands of miles of water created by the Yiyuan Zhenjun, there is the Dongwu Territory. Wu's territory.
The power of the sects in the Soochow realm was declining, and each of the great immortal cultivating families occupied the earth vein spiritual mines. The most famous among them was the Huang Wusun family, who also produced Nascent Soul monks and led the royal cultivating clan of Soochow.
It's just that the ancestor of Huang Wusun's Yuanying is about the same age as the ancestor of Hunyuan, and he passed away twenty years ago. Therefore, Donghuang and Dongwu are considered the eldest brother but not the second brother. Although they have wanted to monopolize Yunmeng University over the years, Ze's rich resources, but until there is no absolute certainty, they maintain restraint.
The two realms are bounded by the closed town in the center of Yunmeng Daze, and there is a tacit understanding that the waters in the well do not interfere with the river.
And past the Dongyi Realm is the Dongyue Realm, which is a land of endless mountains. The monks there regard each mountain as a falling star from the sky. There is a super man named Xingtian Dao Sect. Big forces rule, and it is said that there are several Yuan Ying ancestors in the sect.
After crossing the Dongyue Realm, we will reach the center of the entire Eastern Territory, the Land of Eastern Land.
Not even the two ancestors of the Shenmu Sect have been there. Only Zhou Shengqing heard from Patriarch Hunyuan that there are hundreds of sects and families in the East that have produced Yuanying monks, and Tianding Tower is one of them.
The land of the Eastern Territory is the essence of the entire Eastern Territory of Immortal Cultivation. It is said that among the four holy lands of the Eastern Territory, there is also the legendary True Monarch of God Transformation.
However, even with the foundation of Edongtu Realm, they still have to worry about the invasion of Dongli Realm every year.
Dongli is the northernmost place in the entire Eastern Region, and it is also the place where barbarian demon cultivators are most rampant. Eighteen sects of demon sects, and all major side sects have inheritances there. There is a mixture of fish and dragons, but there are also extremely terrifying evil giants hidden there.
Three hundred years ago, there was an evil cultivator who called himself Ming Zun. He had great achievements in demonic skills. He entered the Eastern Territory alone. He fought thirty thousand miles with one sword and destroyed countless sects.
He even finally set foot on the Yiyuan Dao Palace in the Holy Land of the Eastern Land, forcing the incarnation of the soul left by the Yiyuan Lord before his ascension to take action.
After this battle, Ming Zun disappeared.
Yiyuan Dao Palace announced that it is closed and has not yet opened.
As a result, one of the four holy places in the Eastern Land is missing. Now many new immortal cultivators even think that there are only three holy places.
These things were all told by Zhou Shengqing from Patriarch Hunyuan. In order to let the younger disciples know the vastness of the world, he wrote it down and put it in the library, so that all the foundation-building monks of the Shenmu Sect can watch it.
At the end of the book, Zhou Shengqing wrote one more thing.
Patriarch Hunyuan once visited Yiyuan Dao Palace and wanted to be listed on the gate as a disciple of Yiyuan Zhenjun. Although it was confirmed that he was indeed a disciple of Yiyuan, it was difficult to place him because of his seniority. In the end, it seemed to be a bit unpleasant.
What follows is the story of Patriarch Hunyuan returning to the Eastern Wasteland and establishing the Five Elements Sect.
The spending at the Tian Dining Restaurant is quite expensive. Chen Mobai and Fu Xiuzuo have four dishes and one soup, including Tianxiang whitebait, Linggu chicken soup, braised short ribs with soy sauce, stir-fried shrimp balls, ginger, scallions and xuancai. One pot of wine actually cost sixty spirit stones.
However, the expensive price is worth it. After Chen Mobai finished eating, he felt that his blood energy seemed to be a little stronger. The spiritual materials cooked with special techniques were easily absorbed and refined by the body like elixirs, and even Even the pure Yang spiritual power in the Dantian Qi Sea fluctuated slightly. After the spiritual consciousness controlled and circulated for several days, a small drop of liquid spiritual power began to condense.
"If you eat the delicacies of the Heavenly Restaurant all year round, why should Xiu worry about not making progress?"
Chen Mobai felt the situation within a day and couldn't help but sigh.
"I thought so at the beginning, but it was too expensive. That is to say, junior brother, if you come to Yuhufang City this time, I can legitimately go back and record the cost of this spiritual stone in your name in the family account. .”
Fu Xiuzuo said something very humorous, which made Chen Mobai burst into laughter.
"Try it. The Yuhuchun from Tiantian restaurant is considered a masterpiece. After taking it, it can help digest the spiritual energy contained in the delicacies."
Fu Xiuzuo opened another pot of wine and poured it for Chen Mobai.
"This wine is good, no worse than the one made by Ming'er."
After Chen Mobai took a sip, he nodded slightly, but since he had already digested it on his own, he didn't feel the effect of the wine other than the taste.
"I've heard Hua Kun say a long time ago that junior brother, you are a hero among wines, and this Yuhuchun is already the best wine here at Tiandinglou."
Fu Xiuzuo and Fu Huakun, the inspector of Shanshan Hall, were cousins. He had long known from the latter that Chen Mobai was favored by his ancestor, so he came here to entertain him.
"Oh, isn't there a second-level spiritual wine in the Heavenly Dining Tower?"
Chen Mobai could tell that this Jade Huchun was only of the first level. He thought that given the origin of Tianding Tower, it should not only be like this.
"The second-level Yuhuchun is naturally available, but it needs to be ordered one month in advance, and then the goods can be transferred from the Tiandinlou store in Dongyi."
Fu Xiuzuo replied that he had passed his peak years. Although he was in the middle stage of foundation building, there was no possibility of going any further, so he spent most of his time enjoying himself. The Heavenly Dining Tower was also a place he often visited.
"I wonder what the price is?"
"Look at the grade, the lowest second-grade low-grade, one hundred spiritual stones per pot, this is the only one I've ever drunk."
After hearing Fu Xiuzuo's words, Chen Mobai couldn't help but sigh that the Eastern Wasteland was really "barren", and he couldn't even drink wine.
On the other side, Liu Wenbai and Luo Yixuan's eyes were shining.
They all know that Zhuo Ming and Yan Jinye worked together to brew the second-level Yuzhu spirit wine last year.
Although only two jars were successful, they were large jars weighing twenty kilograms.
The current pot of wine in Tiandinlou is worth 10 taels, which means that the two large jars of wine last year were worth 6,400 spiritual stones.
"This year, my apprentice also successfully brewed some second-level Yuzhu spirit wine. After the jar is opened, I asked Wen Bai to send two jars to Senior Brother Fu."
This altar is a small altar, usually one pound.
Fu Xiuzuo laughed loudly after hearing this, saying that today's meal was worth it.
After the two of them finished eating, they talked about some issues related to the market. When Chen Mobai mentioned that he wanted to open a shop to run by himself, Fu Xiuzuo immediately said that the Fu family's rental of a store in Shenmu Sect could be arranged immediately.
"Thank you, Patriarch Fu, for your understanding."
Pang Guangmin on the side heard Fu Xiuzuo's words and spoke very gratefully.
The eight shops rented out by the Shenmu Sect were actually handed over to the Fu family, the city manager, for operation. The Shenmu Sect only received a fixed amount of 1,200 spiritual stones every year. As for the price of the rented out by the Fu family, they I won't care about it. In fact, it must be much more.
Liu Ruzhong is Fu Zongjue's registered disciple and Fu Xiuzuo's junior brother. This advantage naturally means that the wealth does not flow to outsiders.
Originally, if Fu Xiuzuo hadn't spoken, Pang Guangmin would have personally gone to Fu's house to discuss the matter with them.
If the Fu family takes a tough stance, Pang Guangmin, who is caught in the middle, will definitely have a bleak future.
However, Pang Guangmin obviously underestimated the influence of the name Chen Mobai. Before anyone else went to Fu's house, Fu Xiuzuo came over in person, with a very kind attitude.
With Fu Xiu's presence, things in the store will naturally be handled easily.
Of the eight shops in the Shenmu Sect, two were run by the Fu family themselves. As soon as Fu Xiuzuo opened his mouth, the one with the best location immediately started to pack away the goods. By evening, everything had been emptied and tidied up.
"Junior Brother Chen, do you want to turn it into a wine shop?"
Fu Xiuzuo and Chen Mobai came to this shop located in the center of Yuhufang after drinking. Although the area is not large, it is next to the four shops run by Shenmu Sect, which can be regarded as obvious. origin.
"Sell some groceries and earn some training resources."
Chen Mobai said modestly, then stretched out his hand and saw that the original store name on the plaque at the door had been erased, and then the four words "Xiaonan Shanpu" were engraved on it.
Fu Xiuzuo nodded. He heard that his cousin Fu Hua
Kun said that Junior Brother Chen's shop in Shenmu City also had this name. It was said that it mainly sold spiritual rice and spiritual wine, and the quality was pretty good.
The market for spiritual rice is relatively stable, while the market for spiritual wine is average. It can even be said that there is no market. After all, the spiritual stones of casual cultivators will only be spent on improving their cultivation.
A casual cultivator wouldn't even take a look at a place like the Heavenly Dining Building.
With this spiritual stone, they would rather buy a few bottles of elixirs.
Chen Mobai stayed in Yuhufang City for three days, during which Fu Xiuzuo accompanied him throughout the whole process, and the friendship between the two became more and more profound.
Before leaving, Chen Mobai also invited Fu Xiuzu to have a meal at the Tian Dining Restaurant.
But this time I drank the wine I brought with me.
It was completely different from Yuhu Chun, but each had its own unique flavor, which made Fu Xiuzuo very satisfied.
"Junior Brother Chen, there will be an exchange meeting between foundation-building monks in Tiankuifang City in half a month. I will also go there at that time. After you finish your inspection from Qinghongfang City, you can meet with Old Ghost Liang. Come together."
After Yuhufang City, there is Qinghongfang City, which belongs to the Immortal Liang family, but there is also another Guo family that Chen Mobai pays attention to.
It was the family of Mrs. Guo who was killed by Taoist Feiming in Lonely Soul Ridge.
However, after Chen Mobai killed Taoist Fei Ming, he suddenly discovered that Mrs. Guo's body was missing.
He also mentioned this matter to Meng Hong, the head of the clan at the time, to avoid any accidents when the sect was excavating the hollow stone. Zhou Shengqing also personally went to Guhun Ridge to confirm that there was no problem there, but just in case. , still set up a Tianmu divine light array.
I just happened to take this opportunity of inspection to communicate with the Guo family.
