Chapter 56: Nanshanfang Reshuffle
A week later.
"No wonder Jiang Jiyue said that Master Lu Qiufu didn't really want to go to Luoxia Sect at first, but he went anyway."
Xiao Changqing looked at the failed second-level talisman in front of him and sighed.
Before Jiang Jiuyue left, she was already quite familiar with Xiao Changqing.
They were all talisman masters from Lingfu Pavilion and often met each other at work. Moreover, when Xiao Changqing was noticed by Mu Chunfeng for investment, Jiang Jiuyue was considered the "middleman".
She originally wanted to make a good story happen, but she didn't expect the Mu family's situation to take a sharp turn for the worse, and they abandoned Xiao Changqing after a brief investment.
Not only Mu Chunfeng felt sorry for Xiao Changqing, but Jiang Jiuyue also felt embarrassed.
Out of a compensatory mentality, she deliberately contacted Xiao Changqing several times later, and also invited Xiao Changqing to dinner several times together with Mu Chunfeng. As a result, the three of them became good friends.
Later, Xiao Changqing learned that Jiang Jiuyue was the niece of the former shopkeeper Hong Jiantao, and he had a better impression of Jiang Jiuyue.
It’s a pity that Jiang Jiuyue soon followed Shopkeeper Hong, left Nanshanfang, and headed for Liyangxian City, the number one city for independent cultivators in the Dayu immortal world.
Now Xiao Changqing has also begun to feel the inconveniences of Nanshanfang.
For example, the materials needed to draw a second-level talisman are difficult to gather in Nanshanfang.
During this week, Lin Ziyu ran around almost every corner of Nanshanfang, but was unable to buy a complete set of materials for a second-level talisman. Some materials had to be replaced with substitutes.
As a result, although Xiao Changqing had the attainments of a second-level talisman master, he was unable to fully display his abilities.
Moreover, the Silver Moon Wolf Hair Brush and Double-Winged Tiger Hair Brush in his hands are both first-level talisman pens.
Although the equipment effects of these two talisman pens are still very useful to him, they are not enough to draw second-level talismans. They are a bit of a hindrance and will also reduce the success rate.
"Fortunately, there are shops that can get some materials for second-level monsters, but we just need to wait. Once the materials are gathered, we can make the second-level talisman."
Xiao Changqing gave up his plan to use inferior materials and forcibly draw a second-level talisman.
His attainments in the art of talismans have not yet reached the point where he can turn decay into magic.
Without good enough materials, forcing the painting would just be a waste of spirit stones.
These inferior materials are expensive and should not be wasted.
……
……
time flies.
While Xiao Changqing was secretly making a second-level talisman to strengthen his own trump card, the turmoil that Nanshanfang had been suppressing for many years finally erupted.
The cause of the incident was that the lifespan of the foundation-building ancestor of the Zhang family, the weakest of the four major families, had run out and his deadline had arrived.
Although the Zhang family tried their best to conceal the situation and kept the death a secret from the outside world, they did not want anyone to know the news of the death of the Zhang family ancestor.
But on the third day after the death of the Zhang family's ancestor, the news was still known to the Cao and Xu families.
After a brief trial, the two families confirmed that the ancestor of the Zhang family had passed away, and they could not wait to begin to annex and seize the Zhang family's assets.
As for the fact that the Zhang family and the Mu family had reached a cooperative alliance before this, no one cared at all.
In the eyes of the Cao and Xu families, the Mu family could hardly protect itself, so it was good enough that they did not invade the Mu family. How could the Mu family dare to interfere in the affairs of the Zhang family?
Don't you die?
Even if the Zhang family wanted to give all their assets to the Mu family, if the Mu family was smart enough, they would not dare to accept it!
But no one expected that the Mu family would take over all of the Zhang family's assets at this time.
The patriarch of the Mu family, Mu Renjie, the foundation-building cultivator who was rumored by Nanshanfang to be seriously injured and about to die, has come out of seclusion.
Moreover, he killed people in all directions with lightning speed and even killed the head of Xu family!
The head of the Xu family is over a hundred years old. After decades of accumulation after the foundation building, although he has not been promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, he also has extremely strong combat power in the early stage of foundation building and has a deep foundation.
Mu Renjie, by comparison, had a much weaker foundation, and according to common sense, he was no match for the Patriarch of the Xu Family. But in actual battle, the Patriarch of the Xu Family had almost no resistance in front of Mu Renjie, and was quickly killed.
There is a huge difference between being killed and being defeated.
This shows that Mu Renjie’s strength is not just better than that of the head of the Xu family, but that he completely crushes him and is not on the same level.
Afterwards, Mu Renjie did not give up. It seemed that he wanted to get back all the grievances that the Mu family had suffered over the years, so he turned his target to the Cao family.
The Cao family reacted very quickly. When they learned that the head of the Xu family had been killed, they were horrified and quickly recalled all the masters of the clan.
In particular, the two people in the Foundation Establishment Stage, the head of the Cao family, Cao Hao, and a supreme elder, joined forces to guard the Cao family base camp, and with the addition of a set of defensive second-order formations, they were able to barely resist Mu Renjie's attack.
Outsiders don’t know yet, only the top leaders of the Cao family know that Cao Hao has already reached the middle stage of foundation building.
It took a man in the middle stage of foundation building and a man in the early stage of foundation building, plus a second-level formation, to resist Mu Renjie's attack.
What does this mean?
Mu Renjie's strength is at least comparable to the late stage of foundation building!
I don’t know whether there has ever been a cultivator in the late foundation-building stage in Nanshanfang’s history over all these years.
But at least in the past hundred years, Mu Renjie is the strongest fighting force to appear in Nanshanfang!
This incident caused a sensation in the entire Nanshanfang. Only forces like Lingfu Pavilion and Baibao Tower, which had the Jindan sect behind them, were not affected.
Other shops and businesses in the market were reshuffled almost overnight.
Even the boss behind the scenes, Laifenglou, one of the six great foundation-building cultivators in Nanshanfang, showed goodwill and surrendered to the Mu family.
After experiencing the turmoil, the originally weak Mu family annexed the two major foundation-building families, the Zhang family and the Xu family, and became the number one immortal cultivation family in Nanshanfang. It even gained a certain reputation in the entire southwestern border of the Dayu Kingdom.
A cultivator whose strength has reached the late stage of foundation building is considered a high-level figure in the Jindan sect and has a strong say.
The Cao family, the original number one family, not only failed to expand, but was even worse than before and was squeezed in all aspects.
Fortunately, the two foundation-building cultivators of the Cao family did not suffer any casualties and are still alive. In addition, the changes in Nanshanfang attracted the attention of the sects headed by Luoxia Sect, and after mediation, Mu Renjie agreed to make peace with the Cao family.
The world of immortal cultivation in Dayu is not peaceful at the moment, especially on the southwestern border. The evil cultivators from the demon sects are coming in full force and want to start a war. All internal conflicts must be avoided as much as possible, and all forces must be concentrated to resist the invasion.
otherwise.
The Cao family and the Xu family took the lead in attacking the Mu family and the Zhang family. Mu Renjie held on to this handle and refused to let go, determined to fight the Cao family to the death. The Luoxia Sect and other sects had nothing to say.
……
"Who would have thought that the Mu family would not only survive but also become the number one giant in Nanshanfang?"
"Even Zhou Changkong, who has always looked down upon Nanshanfang, took the initiative to go to the Mu family and make friends with the Mu family's Patriarch?"
Xiao Changqing felt quite emotional as he listened to the changes in the outside world.
The Mu family once invested in him, but in the end took the cave away ruthlessly.
After he was promoted to the first-class talisman master, some insiders secretly laughed at the Mu family, thinking that the Mu family was short-sighted.
Looking at it now, I’m afraid no one dares to laugh at the Mu family anymore.
The number one family in Nanshanfang, with combat power comparable to that of a late foundation building clan, was highly valued by all the major Jindan clans, and enjoyed unlimited glory...
In today's Mu family, if one is only a first-level talisman master, he will indeed not be taken seriously.
Xiao Changqing didn't care about it.
What he cares about is how he can benefit from this war of change.
Due to the demise of the two major foundation-building patriarchs of the Zhang and Xu families, countless shop owners were replaced.
All of a sudden, many precious materials appeared in the market of Nanshanfang. These were treasures that all the big stores and families had kept in their bottom drawers and were reluctant to take out.
Now, anyone can buy it as long as they have money.
This also includes the materials needed for the second-level talisman...
