The aptitudes of the boys and girls were okay, they all had third-level spiritual roots, but their bones and understanding were only second-level. In addition, they were natives with poor knowledge, so Fang Ze looked down on them.
but...
If it was just for shelter, there would still be no problem.
Anyway, he won't stay here for a long time, and he will have to leave in about half a year.
"For the sake of your sincerity, I can protect you, but I can't protect you for too long. I will leave here in half a year. You can take care of yourself then."
He took the storage bag and opened it, glanced at the contents inside, and nodded.
The sincerity was pretty good. Inside there was a small pile of ten high-grade spiritual stones, a few pieces of spiritual materials that looked quite valuable, and a jade box. He opened it easily, and Fang Ze's eyes lit up. Inside was a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
This thing is one of the main ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill. It just so happens that he has Millennium Blood and Millennium Vermillion Fruit in his hand, and this plant can be used to refine it again.
He reached out and put away the jade box and spiritual materials. He squeezed ten pieces of high-grade spiritual stones and put them away. He took out a bunch of medium-grade spiritual stones and threw them into the storage bag, and then threw the bag to his sister:
"I have use for the high-grade spiritual stones. I will replace them with medium-grade spiritual stones, which are enough for your cultivation needs."
After receiving the gift, he naturally had to do something. Fang Ze announced in public in Fang City that he was protecting the Li family.
This didn't cause any commotion. The one who had the courage to covet the Li family was a robbery cultivator outside Fangshi.
The boys and girls settled down on the mountain. They were given a place to live next to the main hall on the mountain, and a spiritual node was assigned to them, which was enough for them to practice.
The young girl Li Ying was arranged as a maid to serve him in his daily life.
The young man Li Shaolin followed him, just in time to deliver orders and handle some minor matters for him.
After using it for a while, Fang Ze was quite satisfied.
Although the two siblings are natives and cannot keep up with their knowledge, their brains are quite flexible and they adapt quickly. The key is to be able to correct their own mentality. They did not bring over the young master and young lady mentality of their own family, and they started to be sensible early on.
It just so happened that Fang Ze had too few people on hand now, and the Dao soldiers were unable to handle complex orders, so the two siblings just filled the gap.
With them, Meng Tianye can also free up his hands. He used to have to go to collect taxes in person, but now he can practice and forge with peace of mind.
Fang Ze's daughter's purchase of horse bones soon had results. Half a month later, a representative of a cultivating immortal family suddenly came to meet him and ask for asylum.
Fang Ze was quite surprised that this family was not wiped out, but was prepared in advance for a rainy day.
Because their family has been targeted by Kang Milun and others, and it is estimated that they will take action soon, so they sent over their important assets and some core members in advance.
Fang Ze had this purpose in protecting Mr. Li before, so naturally he would not refuse.
This time he was no longer polite and took all the protection money needed for asylum.
There are a total of 10 high-grade spiritual stones and the main branch of a second-grade low-grade Qingxin tea tree.
This soul-clearing tea tree is a spiritual thing that the family relies on for its survival. The soul-clearing tea made from its leaves has the effect of calming the mind and suppressing inner fire and distracting thoughts. Drinking a cup after practicing can make it easier to enter concentration.
This thing is the most satisfying spiritual object that Fang Ze has received.
After receiving it, he immediately returned to the fairyland cave and planted it in the spiritual field first.
This kind of spiritual tea has limited effects now, but if it can be cultivated and promoted to the third level of spiritual plants, the tea produced will have the effect of suppressing inner demons.
If you can advance to the fourth level, it will be even more powerful and you can directly suppress your inner demons.
Inner demons are the formidable enemy of practitioners in any world. When a monk who has completed the Foundation Establishment breaks through and condenses the golden elixir, there will be an inner demon tribulation. If he takes a sip of the fourth-level soul-clearing tea during the tribulation, the difficulty of the inner demon tribulation will plummet.
For others who want to train from the second level to the third level or the fourth level, I don’t know how many generations it will take to slowly advance.
But it is a small problem for Fang Ze, who has the energy of chaos. As long as there is enough energy of chaos and enough spiritual support, it only takes a few years to cultivate to the third or even fourth level.
When it is cultivated in the future, it can not only be used for one's own use, but can also be sold as a specialty in one's fairyland cave.
Inspired by this, Fang Ze asked Li Shaolin, one of the siblings, to pay attention to any spiritual plants or special spiritual objects that he could buy when he visited the market.
There are many spiritual plants that are very ordinary in the early stage, and it is difficult to advance. But once they can advance to the second and third levels, their miraculous powers will gradually appear, and they will have extremely special and magical effects.
It's rare to occupy a market, and you can't stay there for long, so of course you have to take advantage of the opportunity to gain more benefits.
He even quietly sent a message to some of the Qi Refining Perfection or Foundation Building forces in Fang City, as well as surrounding families, telling them that he would give up Cuixia Mountain and leave within a year at most, and that he intended to sell Cuixia Mountain, and the one with the highest price would get it. .
There is no way, neither the mountain gate nor the spiritual veins in the mountain can be moved. It would be a pity to give up directly. The best way to deal with it is to sell it and get a profit.
Within two days after this news came out, powerful people came to visit one after another to inquire about the news.
Fang Ze did not use any fancy tricks and told them directly that the news was true.
Within three days, the first offer came through.
They were the second Foundation-building family to seek asylum, and they were willing to give up 20 high-grade spiritual stones and a first-grade magic weapon.
Fang Ze refused directly.
It's not that the value is low, the value of the magic weapon is very high. The worst is tens of thousands of medium-grade spiritual stones, and the better is 20,000 or 30,000.
It's just a normal shopping trip, how can you get a deal done without someone else bidding?
Next, one by one the forces came in contact and made offers.
The price ranges from high to low. The low one has a total value of only twenty high-grade spiritual stones, while the high one has thirty or forty high-grade spiritual stones.
It can be seen from this that high-grade spiritual stones are quite rare.
After all, high-grade spiritual stones are the resources and currency commonly used by Jindan monks.
Of course, it is also related to the fact that this world was once a big thousand world. The world level is very high, so there are many high-grade spiritual stones. If it were replaced by a small thousand world, even if the power level is not much different from this floating island, the various resources The rarity and value must be a big level lower.
This can also prove from the side that although the world level of this Suiyun Great Thousand World has dropped to the level of the Small Thousand World, its value is definitely much greater than that of the Small Thousand World.
Think about it, the resources at the hands of a being who completely rules the entire world are exaggerated.
With so much resource support, the strength is naturally boundless.
One by one, the forces gave out their bids, and after a month all those who could bid in the vicinity had basically made their bids, but Fang Ze was still not very satisfied.
The highest offer had a total value of about forty-five high-grade spiritual stones, which was quite a lot, but still a little less than what he expected.
He didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either.
Hang it first to see if anyone else offers a higher price. If not, you will have to sell it to this one.
To the north of Cuixia Mountain, there is a famous mountain 120 kilometers away, which is the residence of the Lin family of the Ji-building family.
Lin is good at spiritual rice. He has planted large areas of spiritual fields and spiritual plants near his family, and is the largest spiritual rice supplier in the area around Cuixia Mountain.
But at this time, large areas of spiritual fields all over the valley had been destroyed, and the mountains and downstairs were in a state of chaos.
The remaining members of the Lin clan retreated to the ancestral hall on the mountain, looking worriedly at the mountainside where their foundation-building ancestor was being besieged by more than a dozen late-stage Qi refining people and no less than four Jie cultivators who had completed Qi refining.
Although the ancestor of the Lin family has not yet reached the end of his lifespan, he is only in the early stage of foundation building. Although his strength is far stronger than Qi Refining, he has not yet reached the point of crushing him.
These Jie cultivators are richer than the Lin family. Not only do they have one or two top-quality magic weapons, but they also have array flags and talismans.
After the ancestor of the Lin family managed to hold on for a while, a flying sword talisman broke through the defense of the protective spiritual weapon, and then a dozen attacks came down, killing him on the spot.
When the ancestor of the Lin family died, a fire was lit in the ancestral hall on the mountain, and the remaining Lin family members died in the ancestral hall.
"Finally got it!"
Kang Milun breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.
He reached out and put away the two spiritual weapons in the hands of the ancestor of the Lin family, looked them up and down, and curled his lips:
"I want this defensive spiritual weapon. Who wants the other sword-shaped spiritual weapon?"
The other cave masters glanced at it, but they were not interested.
He shrugged and said:
"Since you don't want it, I'll take it back to the furnace."
"By the way, how's the casualty count? Are any of the followers killed? Chasing the remnants of the Lin family..."
A fire spirit boat came from afar and stopped in front of them. Wang Shigao jumped down and said:
"The remnants of the Lin family fled to Cuixia Mountain."
Kang Milun paused, waved his hand and said:
"They are lucky."
Everyone was silent. Ever since Fang Ze personally came to challenge all of them, they recognized Cuixia Mountain's strength and tacitly acknowledged that he was qualified to take advantage of Cuixia Mountain.
Anyway, there are many large and small families in this area, and they may not be able to clear them all when they return after this big class, so there is no need to touch this hard nut.
"After capturing this house, let's take a month's rest to prepare. The next target is the Jin's house in the east."
"Are you finally going to attack the Jin family? This family has been passed down longer than Cuixia Mountain. I heard that it has a history of more than two hundred years. The family has foundation-building monks for generations. The current ancestor is still in the middle stage of foundation-building. The family The accumulation is estimated to be more than two or three ordinary foundation-building families. If we want to conquer this, it will not be worse than Cuixia Mountain."
On Cuixia Mountain, Fang Ze met with representatives of the Lin clan again.
He accepted the protection money from the tribute very familiarly, comforted them, and arranged a small townhouse for them in Fang City.
"They moved very quickly, and they destroyed another foundation-building family."
"One foundation-building family cannot compare to Cuixia Mountain, but five or six foundation-building families combined are not much different."
Fang Ze pinched his chin and thought for a while, but still stopped the thoughts in his heart.
"There are still too few manpower."
"Go back to your mentor and buy a high-level Dharma Protector General, and go to the Lower Court to recruit a few followers."
For example, Fang Yuan belongs to the divine general who protects the law, while brothers and sisters Meng Tianye and Meng Xianfeng belong to the followers.
The difference between them is that the true spirit marks of the guardian generals are bound to the fairyland cave. Their fate will coexist and die with the fairyland cave. Moreover, once the guardian generals fall unexpectedly, they can consume a large amount of cave heaven source power and spiritual energy to re-condensate. Resurrection of the body.
The followers are no different from the Dharma Protectors in other aspects of treatment, but they do not have this authority.
This also means that the Protector God must be the absolute confidant of the Lord of the Immortal Domain, regardless of his level of cultivation or IQ.
Even if the followers took the oath of inner demons like the Meng brothers and sisters, their status would not be comparable.
After all, the consequences of the inner demon's oath are very serious. If you violate it, you will almost die. But if you would rather die than betray, this cannot be stopped.
The Dharma Protector General does not have this problem and can never betray.
Of course, the above is just the difference between the Dharma Protector General and his followers. Whether or not to betray them depends on how they get along with each other.
Like the Meng brothers and sisters, as long as you don't act stupidly, it's impossible for them to betray you.
One day a week later, an important visitor came to Cuixia Mountain.
Fang Ze looked at the black-robed man exuding foundation-building spiritual pressure, raised his hands and asked:
"I wonder who you are?"
The man in black robe took off his hat. He was a middle-aged man. He was a little surprised that Fang Ze was not a foundation-building monk, but it didn't show on his face. He bowed his hand in return and said in a deep voice:
"I am Jin Pingzong of the Jin family, and I want to make a deal with Master Fang Shan."
"What deal?"
"Master Fang Shan should know that a group of robber cultivators have been very arrogant recently and have destroyed several foundation-building families. Judging from their actions, they should want to rob the nearby foundation-building families, whether it is our Jin family or Cuixiashan. Every city is among their targets."
"This group of robbery cultivators is very powerful. If they don't unite, they will be defeated individually."
"According to the information we have gathered, their next target is our Jin clan. They came here to inform Lord Fang Shan on the order of the clan leader. They want to cooperate with Lord Fang Shan to set up an ambush in our Jin clan and catch them all."
Fang Ze raised his eyebrows, but he wasn't too surprised.
The natives are not game NPCs and will resist.
It's just that in the past, everyone swept the snow in front of their door, and it didn't hurt if it didn't hit themselves.
They thought that this group of robber cultivators would rob the two families and leave after they were full. However, they did not expect that this group of robber cultivators had such a big appetite and wanted to rob all the families in the area. This made them unable to sit still and started to fight back. .
One family may not be able to stop it, but if several foundation-building monks are summoned to set up an ambush, that's not necessarily the case.
but....
They probably didn't expect that Fang Ze was the same kind of person as them.
Although he was also jealous of Kang Milun and others for destroying the property looted by several families, he knew better than to do such a thing.
That’s not to say that we can’t cooperate with indigenous people, there are no such restrictions.
It's just that they are students now, and their mentors and assistants are hiding somewhere. It's not good to unite with the natives to trick them under their noses.
So he decisively raised his hand and refused:
"I'm not interested in this matter. Mr. Jin, please come back!"
Jin Pingzong was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face, and said anxiously:
"Master Fangshan, aren't you afraid that this group of robber cultivators will target you in the future? Although your Cuixia Mountain has a mountain protection formation, it should not be able to stop these robber cultivators."
Fang Ze smiled and said:
"Whether you can block it or not is my business. I have no intention of participating in this matter. Please go back."
"Shaolin, see you off!"
Jin Pingzong left Cuixia Mountain with a look of astonishment on his face. He glanced back outside the mountain and coldly snorted:
"Short-sighted people don't know what means they can use to steal this inheritance."
"This person has no virtue. Once the gang of robbery cultivators are collected, this mountain belongs to the Jin family!"
