After some re-introductions.
Shangguan Feng piloted the treasure ship and flew to Huainan Mansion.
On the flight path.
Fu Changsheng quickly ran through the intelligence information revealed to him by Shangguan Hongyu not long ago.
The entire Huainan Prefecture has seven counties under its jurisdiction, corresponding to the seven ninth-rank aristocratic families Shangguan family, Ping family, Lin family, Liang family, Qi family, Hong family and Cao family.
In addition to the seven families, there are also three eighth-grade families.
The Shangguan family and the Liang family both belong to the Nangong family, an eighth-grade family.
Since Yunshan County has not yet been settled by a formal ninth-grade family, when he moves in, it will temporarily fall under the direct jurisdiction of the Zhenshi Division.
The Zhenshi Division was set up by the dynasty to supervise aristocratic families and was located in Wanningfang City.
Wanningfang City was jointly created by the Huainan aristocratic families. Half of the shops in Wanningfang City belong to the eight major aristocratic families, and the remaining half is divided among the seven ninth-grade aristocratic families below. Depending on their own strength, some ninth-grade aristocratic families can get three Some shops, however, could not get a share of it, such as the Lin family of Lin Tianfu and his wife, who had just been promoted to the ninth-grade family.
Of course.
In Wanningfang City.
There is another unique existence that is the Wanning Chamber of Commerce Branch.
He asked Shangguan Hongyu, and even the other party did not know the origins of the Wanning Chamber of Commerce. He only knew that the other party had established branches in various state capitals, and could bid for foundation-building pills in a fair and just manner.
Since it is my first time to come to Wanningfang City.
Fu Changsheng mostly paid attention to the terrain and landforms along the way, and from time to time he marked a few words on the topographic map sent by Shangguan Hongyu.
The treasure ship flew for several days.
However, the number of monks coming and going suddenly increased significantly. Among them, the foundation-building monks who rarely showed up in Anyang County could see one or two sword rainbows speeding past here from time to time.
The entire Wanningfang City is located on the Taiqiu Mountains.
Clouds and mist linger in the mountains.
At the entrance of the mountain gate, a diamond-shaped mirror stands there. When monks come in and out, they always use the token in their hands to enter and exit. Whether they are entering or leaving, they must be inspected by the diamond-shaped mirror.
In addition to the two qi-training monks who were responsible for maintaining order, there was also a foundation-building monk sitting cross-legged beside the checkpoint. This person was Shangguan Chen, whom he had not seen for several years.
According to Shangguan Hongyu's introduction, the top ten aristocratic families in Huainan Prefecture are required to send a foundation-building monk to guard the entrance to Wanningfang City for one year every ten years. The rotation every ten years is a mutual agreement.
When Shangguan Chen saw Shangguan Peak appear, he came up to him from a distance. His eyes fell on Fu Changsheng and he raised his eyebrows. This was because during the discussion of the elders meeting of the clan, it was mentioned that Fu Changsheng had just broken through the Foundation Establishment. It had only been half a year. It was a bit unexpected to break through to the second floor of the foundation building before it was too late.
To know.
He only broke through to the third level of foundation building last year.
But he broke through ten years earlier than Fu Changsheng.
What a terrible future!
If Hongyu and this son can get married, maybe the Shangguan family will use this son to go up the wind in the future. It's just a pity that the old stubborns in the family will not agree to this marriage even to death, and they will never forget it. He wants to climb the high branches of the Nangong family, an eighth-grade family.
Shangguan Chen waved his sleeves.
A pass token floated towards Fu Changsheng:
"Clan Chief Fu, please leave a mark of your spiritual consciousness on it. With this card, you can directly enter and exit Wanningfang City."
Originally, one hundred lower-grade spiritual stones were needed to obtain such a long-term pass token, but Shangguan Chen did not mention it.
However, Fu Changsheng knew the market situation and immediately handed the box containing the spirit stones to Shangguan Chen:
"There is Master Laochen."
When passing by a rhombus mirror.
A yellow light shot out from the mirror and swept past him very quickly.
As soon as you walk in from the entrance of the formation, you will see small wooden buildings. The construction materials of these small buildings are the first-level top-grade Cang Ling wood, and a total of four streets are planned. There are many shops on both sides of the main street. , there was an endless stream of monks coming and going.
Compared with Nanyangfang City, it seems much more lively.
"If I could own a shop here, wouldn't it be like making a lot of money every day?"
Fu Changsheng was moved by what he saw.
Except for the store.
Wanningfang City is also divided into residential areas. The southern area is a small courtyard rented by Qi practicing monks, and the northern area is a individually opened cave. The aura in the cave is comparable to the second-order spiritual veins, so it can be rented Those who build these caves are often foundation-building monks.
On West Street.
A narrow street was left.
This is specially provided for monks to set up stalls. Compared with those brilliantly decorated shops, there are more people here, and of course almost all of them are Qi practicing monks.
The Zhenshi Division is located on Dongbian Street.
The monks within a radius of three miles here are not allowed to approach for anything, and a special protective circle has been set up.
Shangguan Feng looked up at the sky and said:
"The people from Zhenshisi have already left for work. We will stay at the Yunxianlai Inn tonight and go through the relevant procedures tomorrow morning. What do you think, fellow Taoists?"
Naturally, no one would have any objections.
Fu Changsheng also thought of taking this opportunity to go to the vendors on West Street to get the monster seed first.
Yunkelai Inn was founded by the Nangong family, an eighth-grade family.
Shopkeeper Nangong recognized the four Shangguanfeng people from a distance and quickly came to greet them in person. He smiled and arranged room numbers for the four Shangguanfeng people.
This was his first time meeting Fu Changsheng, and he was very familiar with it. In addition, Fu Changsheng's cultivation aura was still at the peak of Qi training, and he was in his twenties. He took it for granted that he was following Shangguan Feng or Mr. Liang. The ancestors who went down to the mountain to practice naturally lived in the same room.
Never thought about it.
Shangguan Feng took the initiative to introduce Fu Changsheng's identity.
Shopkeeper Nangong didn't pay much attention to the patriarch of a qi-training family, but he still smiled and said politely: "I don't know whether you want a room with floor number or room A."
In his opinion, the patriarch of a small and inferior family cannot live in the Tianhao House like Shangguan Feng and others. After all, their status is different.
Fu Changsheng pointed to the Tianzi room keys hanging in the first row on the wall and said:
"I want the sixth room in heaven"
this.
There is obviously some indifference between superiority and inferiority.
Shopkeeper Nangong glanced at the faces of Shangguan Feng and others, and saw that the other four people took the keys and went upstairs respectively. He didn't seem to have much reaction to Fu Changsheng's choice of the Tianhao room.
I didn't mind my own business at the moment.
He ordered the boy to hand Fu Changsheng the key to Tianhao Sixth Room.
After paying the deposit.
Fu Changsheng immediately went upstairs.
There was a pair of twins sitting in a separate private room by the door on the first floor. When Shangguan Feng and others went upstairs, Fu Changsheng happened to look at the counter when he was checking in alone for the deposit.
These two people were the twins Qiu Taifeng and Qiu Taiyun from Pingyang County.
The two looked away from Fu Changsheng, looked at each other, and said almost in unison:
"Luofengshan Fu Changsheng!"
The two of them were responsible for thoroughly investigating the cause of their ancestor's death in Wanguiyuan. When they arrived at the Zhang family in Anyang County, the head of the Zhang family insisted that the death of their ancestor was inseparable from Fu Changsheng. At that time, the two of them thought that the head of the Zhang family was He wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but didn't pay much attention to it.
Otherwise.
As the Zhang family was destroyed by the Fu family.
Only then did they realize that something was wrong, and they investigated all the way, and even visited the monks who entered the Wangui Abyss in the same batch as Fu Changsheng.
at last.
By offering huge rewards.
I learned this from Wang Fugui, a casual cultivator.
It was indeed Fu Changsheng and Granny Yu who killed my ancestor back then in Wanguiyuan.
Several years passed.
Now, the two brothers have reached the peak of Qi training, and using the secret technique of combined attack, they can barely get through a round in the early stage of foundation building.
The two brothers have been looking for opportunities to avenge their dead ancestors, but Fu Changsheng's whereabouts are a mystery, and it is extremely difficult to find out the other's whereabouts.
Never thought about it.
When their brothers came to purchase training supplies for the clan, they happened to meet Fu Changsheng.
Qiu Taiyun's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said via voice:
"Brother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill the thief Fu Changsheng. I suggest that the purchase be postponed. What do you think?"
Qiu Taifeng was a little hesitant.
This time, the two brothers were carrying the spiritual stones that the clan had accumulated for several years down the mountain. The clan leader repeatedly told them that no matter what happened on the way, purchasing them must be the first priority.
after all.
This was the spiritual stone they had accumulated over the years by cutting back on clothing and dieting.
It will be particularly important for the development of the clan in the next few years.
Therefore, Qiu Taifeng shook his head and said:
"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years. We can wait until we finish the procurement."
Qiu Taiyun became anxious upon hearing this.
He quickly said:
"Brother, we have been tracking Fu Changsheng for several years. Every time he goes out, he wears an invisibility cloak. You also know how difficult it is to control his whereabouts.
According to the reaction of the thief Fu Changsheng just now, it is obviously his first time to Wanningfang City. After resting at the inn for a while, I can guarantee that he will definitely go to West Street, from Yunlai Inn to West Street, passing by Wutong Lane , it's very remote there, and it's night, so it's a good time to start. "
"Brother, maybe that thief Fu Changsheng will leave the city tomorrow. Once he puts on his invisibility cloak, it will be difficult for us to find him. If we miss this opportunity, it will be gone!"
"The ancestor is our biological grandfather."
"Don't you want him to be able to rest in peace under the Nine Springs?"
"If you're afraid of causing trouble, I'll go alone."
Qiu Taiyun became more and more excited as he talked.
Qiu Taifeng was about to give some advice.
But he saw Fu Changsheng walking down from the Tianhao Room very quickly.
Qiu Taiyun put on a mask and immediately turned around and left the box, following behind.
Qiu Taifeng was worried and caught up with Qiu Taiyun.
Now that I have decided to take action.
Then you have to achieve a one-hit kill.
He quickly transmitted a few words to Qiu Taiyun.
The two of them flashed and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Fu Changsheng came out of the inn and checked the direction. I don't mean to hang around either.
Immediately walk towards West Street.
Because he had to go to the Zhenshi Division to register the ninth-grade family early tomorrow morning, and he didn't know how late he would be busy working. He was afraid that the monster seeds from the Bloody Forbidden Land would be caught first.
Otherwise.
Come out of the inn.
He immediately noticed that there seemed to be a gaze falling on him behind him. Although it disappeared quickly, it was still a new arrival.
Just to be on the safe side.
He still had a thought:
"Exchange information"
Buzz!
The panel vibrates.
A large amount of yellow light surged.
Immediately afterwards.
Lines of text appear:
"[When you were checking in, brothers Qiu Taifeng and Qiu Taiyun discovered your traces. At this time, they had already arrived at the corner of Wutong Lane and laid out a fire formation pattern. They decided to kill you with one strike to save their grandfather Qiu Laozu. For revenge, the two Qiu Taifeng brothers brought several years of Qiu family's savings with them to purchase supplies for the clan]"
Qiu Taifeng Qiu Taiyun? !
Fu Changsheng was in a daze for a while.
After coming out of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, the intelligence mentioned that the two brothers had gone to the Zhang family in Niu Shou Mountain to inquire about the cause of death of Patriarch Qiu. After so many years, they still didn't give up.
Originally in Wanning Market.
He didn't want to cause trouble.
Especially tomorrow is a critical day for their Fu family.
But when he saw the second half of the intelligence, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He was worried that the spirit stones he brought were not enough to purchase the second-level top-grade Cangming Stone. He didn't expect that someone would bring a pillow when he was dozing off.
He sneered in his heart.
The right hand hidden in the sleeve quickly made a seal, and the purple divine light in the body was ready to go.
At night.
There were fewer cultivators coming out.
Especially those remote places where few people go, it was terribly quiet.
When he was about to reach the corner of the sycamore tree.
Fu Changsheng swept his consciousness.
Sure enough, he found the fire array diagram set at the corner.
This formation diagram is a first-class top-grade one. If he is still at the peak of Qi training and has not yet developed a spiritual consciousness, I am afraid that it will really be as Qiu Taiyun and his brother wished.
His pace did not change.
He walked towards Wutong Lane step by step.
Forty feet.
Thirty feet.
Twenty feet.
He was about to fall into the fire formation diagram.
But his face did not show any expression of danger.
Qiu Taiyun was secretly happy.
Finally.
He waited for the opportunity to kill his grandfather's enemy.
He immediately pinched his fingers.
When he was about to activate the fire formation diagram.
A sudden change occurred!
However, Fu Changsheng, who was about to step into the range of the fire formation diagram, disappeared strangely. At the same time, a purple divine light shot towards his forehead as fast as lightning:
"I was discovered!"
How is it possible!
They brothers used the speed runner and ambushed here half a cup of tea earlier than Fu Changsheng. The other party did not develop a spiritual consciousness, so how could he find the trap?
And it stopped precisely one step away from the flame array diagram!
Qiu Taiyun was at the peak of Qi training and had rich combat experience. When he found something wrong, a golden protective light shield immediately lit up on his body.
But the golden light shield that could withstand the strongest attack of the peak of Qi training on weekdays could not last for a moment when facing the rushing purple divine light, and it collapsed with a bang!
"What kind of magic is this?!"
Qiu Taiyun was scared and broke into a cold sweat.
In a hurry.
He only had time to put a heart-protecting bronze mirror in front of his face.
Ding!
The second-level inferior heart-protecting bronze mirror was instantly pierced by the purple divine light.
With this opportunity to turn things around.
He flashed his body and narrowly avoided the attack of the purple divine light, but a sound of breaking air came from behind him, and this time he didn't have time to react.
A pair of sharp claws pierced his forehead in two as fast as lightning.
The moment he fell to the ground.
But he saw that his brother opposite him had been pierced through the heart by a sword.
When the last trace of life in his eyes was gone.
In his mind, the words that an ancestor said to his brother in private at that time flashed:
"Taifeng, I know that you brothers have a good relationship, but you can no longer indulge your brother in the future. It is because you, as the eldest brother, have been following behind him to clean up his ass, which has caused him to become more emotional. If you can't be tough on him, one day, you two brothers will definitely fall flat on your face!"
He overheard it in the corner at that time.
He didn't think so.
Especially after so many years, the two brothers have experienced so many ups and downs, and they are still safe and sound in the end. They can attack the foundation building stage quickly.
But.
Who would have thought.
He actually lost to Fu Changsheng, the dog thief!
Unwilling!
He died so unwillingly!!
After breaking through to the foundation building stage.
Especially after breaking through to the second level of foundation building.
Fu Changsheng controlled the second-level magic weapon Tianlei Sword and Blood Moon Divine Staff to fight at the same time, without any pressure.
The whole battle, from the time he made his move to the end, took less than three breaths.
It was enough to see the difference between Qi training and foundation building.
Fu Changsheng waved his sleeves.
He put the bodies of the Qiu Taiyun brothers into the storage bag, put on the invisibility cloak and disappeared in Wutong Lane in an instant.
When he took action just now, he could clearly sense that there were several spiritual consciousnesses sweeping through the darkness, so he immediately decided to change his plan and did not go to the West Street vendors.
Instead, he flashed several times.
When he was about to reach Yunkelai Inn, he took off the invisibility cloak, returned to his room, set up the magic circle he carried with him, and then took out the two storage bags in the bag.
The storage bags were still stained with the blood of the Qiu Taifeng brothers.
According to the intelligence.
The Qiu Taifeng brothers came down the mountain to purchase supplies for the Qiu family.
Fu Changsheng was a little more expectant.
He remembered that in addition to the deceased Qiu Laozu and many other late-stage Qi training cultivators, the Qiu family, including the head of the Qiu family, had five ninth-level Qi training cultivators. This was already a good fighting force among Qi training families, and it also showed that the Qiu family had a good foundation from a certain perspective.
A spell was cast.
A red light flashed in Qiu Taiyun's storage bag.
He looked closely.
He saw that most of Qiu Taiyun's storage bag was actually red female robes, and the size of the clothes was the same as Qiu Taiyun's height:
"This"
Fu Changsheng was a little dumbfounded.
He heard that some children from aristocratic families had a male hobby.
But it was the first time he heard of a fetish like wearing women's clothes.
In addition to these clothes.
There is also a Yin Ring of the Yin Yang Ring, a quasi-second-level magic weapon, in addition to several bottles of first-level high-quality elixirs for healing and restoring mana, and more than a hundred low-quality spirit stones.
Obviously.
The heavy weight fell on Qiu Taifeng:
"Don't let me down."
He directly exposed his foundation-building cultivation.
Then a spell was cast into the storage bag.
A flash of rosy light.
But I saw boxes appearing one after another. When the boxes were opened, neatly arranged spirit stones came into view. After careful counting, there were nearly ten thousand:
"Sure enough, I didn't let you down!"
Fu Changsheng was delighted.
With the blessing of these spirit stones, the capital for purchasing the Cangming Stone should be enough.
In addition.
The magic tools and other items on the Qiu Taifeng brothers can also be handed over to the clan warehouse. Now that he is in the foundation-building period, these first-level spirit objects are no longer useful.
The thought just passed.
But a familiar mechanical sound came from my mind:
"Ding!"
