Yue State, Tainan Mountain.
Compared with more than 20 years ago, Tainan Mountain at this time has undergone tremendous changes.
For mortals, it is still shrouded in clouds and mist and cannot be approached, but when cultivators enter it, they can see a large town.
The stall scene that stretched for miles in Tainan Mountain still exists, but dozens of new large buildings with three floors or more have also been built.
Judging from the plaques above, they are all stores opened by famous large-scale businesses in Tiannan.
"Cuiyunxuan"
It was opened by the Han family, the first aristocratic family in the Huayu Kingdom. This family is famous throughout the world for its good at planting spiritual tea. It claims to have 100,000 acres of spiritual tea fields. It is unknown whether this is an exaggeration.
However, his family's land does have three thousand-year-old spiritual tea trees, which are so profound that they are jokingly called three spiritual stone mines by outsiders.
At this time, Jiang Yun was sitting on the second floor of Cuiyun Pavilion drinking tea, dressed as a young man from a cultivating family. His cultivation had converged to the middle stage of foundation building.
Jiang Yun seemed to be admiring the hustle and bustle outside the window, but in his heart he was planning his next action.
After traveling for nearly a month, I finally returned to Yue State after passing through nearly ten countries in one go. On the way, he also went to the Zijin Luoyan Mountains to make a deal with two demon kings.
Not long ago, Jiang Yungang went to Zhenfandian headquarters to check the organization's revenue and development in recent years. Generally speaking, it was stable and steady.
Fanlou's main store, dozens of branches, and auction houses add up to Li Lan's tens of thousands of spiritual stones a year after all expenses are taken into account.
Although Li Lan's total wealth of a hundred years is only a fraction of Jiang Yun's net worth, there are more people and shops below, making it easier to do many things.
Before leaving, Jiang Yun made a list to his apprentice Yu Jiuxi and asked her to send someone to collect the materials on it.
"I just went to see my mother. She is so old and her personality is exactly the same as before. Speaking of which, I am almost a hundred years old."
Jiang Yun felt good when he thought of this.
Yu Wenqing was not an ascetic who devoted himself to Taoism, and his qualifications were poor. Although he has reached the late stage of foundation building with a large amount of elixirs, the probability of forming elixirs is still slim.
At least judging from the depth of spiritual power, it's quite overwhelming.
After thinking about it, Jiang Yun selected a suitable high-level skill from his library and suggested that Yu Wenqing switch to a new one.
Although the new exercises are very difficult to practice, they are of great benefit to forming elixirs.
According to Jiang Yun's estimation, Yu Wenqing only needs to practice eight hours a day, and if he has enough pills, it will only take him forty or fifty years to reach the stage of perfect foundation building.
When the time comes, we will give you several elixirs that increase the probability of forming an elixir, and you will have a 30 to 40% chance of forming an elixir.
This is already a very astonishing probability.
Jiang Yun shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
"Before returning to the sect, let's go to Yellow Maple Valley. We need help from Brother Han for the Five Thunder Gourds. There are also those precious seeds bought at a huge price."
"By the way, giving that treasure to Brother Han is considered a courtesy."
I went to Zijin Kingdom not long ago just to prepare things for Han Li.
Although that treasure is not as good as my Blue Sky Bead, it is still very suitable for Brother Han who has the little green bottle.
Jiang Yun drank all the spiritual tea in the cup and prepared to leave.
At this moment, there was a commotion at a stall outside the window, and there seemed to be a dispute.
Jiang Yun didn't care at first, but because of his amazing hearing, he didn't know what he heard. He frowned slightly, put down the tea money, and disappeared in a flash of white light.
The crowd gradually gathered towards the stall, and soon dozens of people gathered around it. This shows that whether they are immortal cultivators or mortals, it is the nature of most people to watch the excitement.
The stall owner was an old man at the fifth level of Qi training. The things he sold were all trivial trinkets. The most valuable ones were probably a thirty-year-old violet leaf and a baby gold-sniffing rat.
A young man wearing a black brocade robe with slightly pale skin was looking at the old man mockingly.
Two guys who were obviously bad guys on the side were questioning the old man angrily and started to sing along.
"The old guy dared to steal Master Long's spirit rat cub. He is quite courageous! Could it be that he wants to bear the wrath of Elder Long?"
"Back then, Young Master Long also met Elder Long's master, Elder Jiang, who founded Zhenfan Palace, and even received praise from Elder Jiang. Could it be that stealing Young Master Long's things is because he is tired of living?"
"But who made Mr. Long have a compassionate heart? Today I will just return the spirit rat honestly and compensate him with ten spirit stones."
The old man had a grimace on his face and hurriedly explained: "Fellow Taoists, I have misunderstood. I found this spirit rat in the forest north of Quling City.
At that time, we found a litter of four, but it was a pity that we only caught this one cub. How could it be your spiritual beast? "
"If some Taoist friends don't believe me, I am willing to swear an oath to prove that what I said is true."
"Speaking of it, there have been quite a few rats in the forest in recent years, but they are all earth rats. This is the first time I have seen them sniffing metal."
The old man also added something by the way.
Jiang Yun looked a little weird on the side. The Lingxi Valley where his Taoist companion Lu Xuejian lived was located at the southernmost end of the Lingshou Mountain Sect. Not far to the south was Quling City.
"It's probably those parts of Xuejian Yang who ran outside." Jiang Yun thought to himself.
The man in the brocade robe took a few steps forward and snorted coldly, saying: "What a joke, how much is the Dao Heart Pledge like you, old guy, worth? Stop talking nonsense, hand over the spirit rat spirit stone and get out, otherwise I won't be able to let you go with just one word." Get out of Tainan Mountain!"
The old man was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, and he wailed: "I really didn't steal this old man, and I can't even get ten spiritual stones!"
Jiang Yun, who was mixed in the crowd, cupped his fists towards the monks who were watching the show with great interest and said, "I have invited some fellow Taoists. Can I ask where this Young Master Long comes from?"
Seeing Jiang Yun's unusual demeanor, several people clasped their fists and returned a salute. One of the older male cultivators said, "Fellow Taoist, this must be my first time to Tainan Mountain, so I don't know."
"This person's name is Long An. He started hanging out in Tainan Mountain a few months ago. He claimed to be a member of the Elder Dragon of Spirit Beast Mountain and even boasted that he had been praised by Palace Master Jiang.
At first, everyone didn't believe it, but the shopkeeper of the Spirit Beast Mountain store was very polite to this person, so everyone believed him. In short, everyone did not dare to offend him. "
Jiang Yun hummed and continued to ask: "The Elder Long mentioned by fellow Taoist is Long Hao from Spirit Beast Mountain? When did you form the elixir?"
Hearing Jiang Yun's words, the male cultivator immediately looked around nervously and said hurriedly: "Senior Long is a great cultivator in the alchemy stage, how can we call him by his first name!"
"Fellow Taoist seems not to be from Yue country, but he didn't even know that Senior Long successfully formed the elixir a few months ago.
You must know that Senior Long has successfully formed elixirs at the age of forty-five this year, which can be said to be a gift from heaven. The possibility of becoming the ancestor of Nascent Soul in the future is not small! "
Jiang Yun nodded in agreement and said, "It turns out there is a background. It's really hard to offend."
The male cultivator sighed and echoed, "Who says it's not the case?"
Jiang Yun glanced at the bullied old man and asked doubtfully: "I heard that Senior Long hates others as much as he hates them. Do you think he doesn't care about this person?"
The male cultivator sighed and said: "I don't know the specifics, but this person only bullies casual cultivators with no background, and he is not a brainless person."
"Senior Long is certainly a model of righteousness, but he would never punish his own people for some casual cultivators."
Otherwise, Senior Long's tribe would not dare to say anything, and they would definitely scold him secretly. "
Jiang Yun didn't think that his stupid apprentice would let such a person mess around. Probably didn't know about this.
But this guy in front of me needs to be dealt with first.
If nothing else, it just makes me unhappy.
He, Jiang Yun, has never experienced being domineering in Fang City in his entire life. Why should this person be a piece of garbage on the fourth level of his Qi training period?
Jiang Yun flicked his fingers under his sleeve, and three streams of spiritual power silently invaded the bodies of the brocade-robed male cultivator and the two losers.
The three of them suddenly felt a sharp pain all over their bodies and fell to the ground screaming.
At this time, their Dantian has been destroyed, the meridians throughout their body are completely broken, the spiritual power in their bodies naturally flows away, and soon their cultivation will completely dissipate and become mortals.
Jiang Yun, who was in a good mood, quietly disappeared into the crowd and left Tainan Mountain.
Long Hao's matter is not urgent for the time being. Let's go see Brother Han first.
On the evening of the second day, Jiang Yun crossed the entire Yue Kingdom and arrived at the Yellow Maple Valley.
When he arrived at Han Li's cave, he was shocked.
"How is this going?"
Jiang Yun's eyes twitched slightly as he looked at the stone monument outside the cave.
"The tomb of late husband Han Li is the grave of his wife Chen Qiaoqian."
What is this situation?
