Alienated Martial Arts

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

Most of the four thousand taels of silver notes received from Chang Yuan were quickly spent.

First, he purchased three houses in Fucheng to settle his family and Qingshan Society disciples.

This alone cost more than two thousand taels of silver.

Other items, such as various daily necessities and cultivation resources, were all collected, and hundreds of taels of silver were poured out like water.

Finally, Shang Bian came forward and rented a house and opened a restaurant.

After all this hard work, Wei Tao had less than a thousand taels of silver left in his hand.

Although from the perspective of ordinary people, even if one thousand taels of silver is made with all the effort, one does not know how long it will take to make it.

But for Wei Tao, who now has a "big family and a big business" and has a group of Qi-blood warriors under his command, the time has come to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

Of course, throttling is impossible.

After all, a group of people spend most of their money on cultivation. As long as this item is not cut, the searches in other places will be meaningless.

What's more, in the near future, rebuilding the Iron Legs Sect will also be put on the agenda.

At that time, whether it is the preparation of the venue or the purchase and customization of various cultivation resources, a large amount of money will be spent.

Fortunately, the restaurant is now open for business, and there is money flowing in every day.

Although it is still far from reaching an overall balance of income and expenditure, it is better than the dilemma of only going out but not getting in, sitting on nothing.

The restaurant is located in the center of Sancaimen.

With the support of Vulture and others, not only did no local gangsters dare to disturb him, but even the business was much better than expected.

And as time goes by, it becomes more and more popular.

Wei Rongxing can be regarded as a woodcutter, a medicine farmer, and a carpenter, and now he has become a restaurant manager.

Wei Mu and Wei Xin were helping behind.

Although the three of them were busy from morning to night every day, they were exhausted.

But everything finally really settled down.

There is a fixed place to live and a stable livelihood.

For Wei's father and mother, who had lived a hard life for half their lives, it was an unimaginably happy life.

After the Qu family's mother and daughter entered the city, they went to join their natal relatives who settled in Fucheng.

Before leaving, they wanted to leave some money behind.

After careful consideration, Wei Tao declined Mrs. Qu's kindness.

In the end, only some of the medicinal materials were taken to ensure subsequent practice.

He was short of money and refused to take it, not because of any face issues.

It's because most of their assets are in Yahang shops, and they came out in a hurry. They didn't have time to realize those properties, so they didn't have much money on hand.

Living in Fucheng is not easy.

Without enough money, nothing can be accomplished.

Now that they have taken refuge with relatives in Fucheng, they can stay under their care for a short period of time, but in the long run, this is not a long-term solution.

After all, you have to live independently.

At that time, a large amount of start-up capital will be needed.

Compared to men like them, who are big, round and strong, the three women of the Qu family need the support of enough money to truly gain a foothold in the city.

However, in order to protect their safety, it was also to support Mrs. Qu.

Wei Tao sent a quarter of the Qingshan Society disciples to accompany him.

Then rotate a batch every once in a while.

Mrs. Qu is naturally responsible for their daily expenses and the medicinal materials needed for practice.

There is also a monthly payment of silver as a reward for looking after the home.

Both sides get what they need and everyone is happy.

……………………

On this day, it was late afternoon.

Wei Tao came out of his home and walked along the long street.

Finally, he stopped in front of a deep mansion.

"Mr. Wei, the door owner is waiting inside."

The disciple of the Sancai Sect, who had been guarding the door for a long time, quickly stepped forward and bowed with a smile on his face.

"Well, lead the way."

"Mr. Wei, please come with me."

The Sancai Sect disciple saluted again and trotted open the courtyard door.

Wei Tao followed, passing through a medium-sized martial arts training ground, and then walked a short distance along the corridor to the two floors located at the deepest part of the mansion.

Dang Dang Dang.

The Sancai Clan disciple knocked on the door.

"Master, Mr. Wei is here."

Hearty laughter suddenly came from the door, "Brother Wei, come in quickly, I have prepared wine and food, and I am just waiting to get drunk with you."

Living room on the first floor.

Wei Tao and a young man in his twenties and seventies sat opposite each other.

Various dishes were placed on the table in the middle.

Everything is a variety of meat, and there is hardly a leaf of green vegetables.

There are also more than a dozen open jars of fine wine, exuding a rich aroma.

In the two months since he entered the city, this was the fifth time he saw Mu Fang, the leader of the Sancai Sect, and the fourth time he drank in this small building.

After several contacts, the relationship between the two quickly became closer, and they became so familiar that they were like old friends who had known each other for a long time.

"Come on, come on, as usual, let's drink a full jar first."

The sect leader Mu Fang directly picked up a wine jar, touched it with Wei Tao, and drank it all in one gulp.

Followed by the second altar and the third altar.

This is called drinking for three rounds.

Mu Fang wiped his mouth and felt a little dizzy.

He belched wine and pulled a box out from under the table.

After opening it, there are gold ingots arranged neatly inside.

Looking at Wei Tao's confused eyes, Mu Fang laughed and said, "This is an apology sent by someone from Nanming Commercial Bank. Brother Wei will move the box inside when he returns."

"Oh? I'm afraid this box of gold doesn't cost a hundred taels."

Wei Tao raised his eyebrows, "I've been waiting for their revenge all these days, and I ended up sending an apology?"

"Retaliation? Give them two more courage!"

Mu Fang took a sip and said, "If Nanming Commercial Bank just slaps me in the face, as long as it doesn't hurt my muscles and bones, maybe I'll be sulky and just grit my teeth and endure it.

But stealing his old man's things is like slapping him in the face. If they dare to think about revenge later, I think they don't want to hang out in Fucheng anymore! "

Wei Tao smiled slightly, "What does it mean to let me take away the apology that Nanming Trading Company gave to Brother Mu?"

"This is the share for Brother Wei, mine is here."

As Mu Fang spoke, he pulled out an identical box from under the table, which was also full of gold ingots.

He closed the lid of the box and kicked it under the table, "The big shopkeeper of Nanming Trading Company also said that in a few days, he must invite Brother Wei over for dinner and apologize to you in person."

Wei Tao was noncommittal, "Let's talk about it then."

"We can't talk about it until then."

Mu Fang's face was full of embarrassment, "Brother Wei was slippery for a moment, but he has already agreed on behalf of Brother Wei. If you don't go, brother, you will lose my face."

"Brother Mu, don't worry, I'll just go."

"Brother Wei is still happy. This means multiple friends with multiple roads, multiple enemies with multiple walls..."

Mu Fang was overjoyed and drank another jar of old wine.

Wei Tao drank with him, and then asked, "What is the situation of Moxiang Tower that I talked about with Brother Mu last time?"

"I don't know what the situation is."

Mu Fang shook his head, with an indifferent expression on his face, "Anyway, I talked to his old man, and he just told me not to worry about it, so it's none of our business."

Wei Tao nodded and picked up another wine jar.

Next, the two began to eat meat.

The entire table was quickly cleared.

A servant waiting outside the door came in, removed the messy dishes, and quickly changed to a simple and elegant table.

The drinking utensils were also changed from jars to wine cups.

Wei Tao picked up a chopstick of green vegetables and ate it slowly. He looked up at Mu Fang, whose face was already red. "Brother Mu has been smiling uncontrollably since I entered the door. Is there something good going on?"

"Hahahaha, there is indeed a good thing, and it is a huge good thing!"

Mu Fang finally couldn't help laughing loudly.

He finally stopped laughing, leaned closer and lowered his voice, "To be precise, this is not my good deed, but Brother Wei's good deed."

"My good deed?"

Wei Tao's eyes flashed, "Brother Mu said this, did he find the whereabouts of his teacher and his fellow disciples?"

"Not really, but I will always keep an eye on it for you."

Mu Fang waved his hand, picked up the wine cup and drank it all.

Then he said with a blushing face, "Brother Wei may not know yet, but Qinglin Mountain will soon organize a selection for entry-level disciples."

Wei Tao's outstretched bamboo chopsticks stopped in mid-air.

After a moment, he gently exhaled a breath, "This is really good news, but I don't know where to sign up and what conditions and requirements are required."

"Brother Wei, you are wrong."

Mu Fang coughed lightly and rubbed the wine glass in his hand.

Wei Tao understood and immediately picked up the wine cup, "Where did I think wrong? Please give me some advice from Brother Mu."

Mu Fang clinked the cup with a serious expression, "I said Brother Wei was wrong, that's why he was wrong. There is absolutely no other possibility."

At this point, he suddenly laughed again, "Brother Wei, have you forgotten, what is the relationship between me and my second uncle?"

"So Brother Wei must remember that we are people with connections and connections. How can we be like everyone else and have to queue up at the foot of Qinglin Mountain to sign up in the cold weather?"

"Don't say that Brother Wei helped my second uncle. Even if it didn't happen, just based on our relationship, I still have to pay close attention to this matter and take care of it for you."

"You don't have to worry about the registration and preliminary selection at all. When the day comes, you can go directly to the mountain to participate in the final selection.

Once you become a serious disciple of the Yuan Dynasty, your future will be limitless. "

Speaking of this, Mu Fang suddenly sighed.

"Brother, I have no talent and low qualifications. It was only because of my second uncle's support that I managed to reach the level of Qi and Blood.

After that, there was no point in staying in the mountains anymore, so I had to go down to the city and use his old man's reputation to make a modest living. I could pass on the incense to the old shepherd's family in this life, that's all. "

"Brother Wei, you are different. You are young and have excellent qualifications. You will have great potential when you enter the sect.

Just wait until you become more prosperous in the future, so don’t forget about me. "

Wei Tao reached out and grabbed the wine jar, "Brother Mu, what did you say? Let's drink another full jar!"

"You can't drink it. If you drink it again, you will spit it out."

Mu Fang waved his hand in a drunken state, "If you want to compare people to death, you have to throw away goods. We can't compete with Brother Wei in martial arts, and even our proud drinking capacity is no match. Brother, I'm resigned to being the loser. ."

He drank a pot of tea to regain his clarity.

Suddenly his smile faded, "But having said that, Brother Wei must not take it lightly."

"Even if you have the help of our second uncle and enter the mountain gate of Yuanyi Road, you still need to walk the road behind by yourself."

Wei Tao nodded, "Brother Mu is right, I know it."

Mu Fang was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "It is both a good thing and a bad thing that Brother Wei can cultivate to the third level of Qi and Blood at such an early age."

"Oh? Brother Mu, please elaborate."

Mu Fang had a wry smile on his face, waved his hands and said, "When I was in the mountains, I was just a gangster who relied on connections to make a living. I didn't like to work hard to practice, so I don't know much about this issue, so I can't give you the details. explain."

"But I only know one thing, that is, the qi and blood channels condensed by the residual methods of outsiders must be overturned when practicing the Quanzhen method, otherwise it will be impossible to succeed."

Wei Tao frowned slightly and fell into thought.

After pausing for a moment, Mu Fang continued, "Brother Wei, your talent is amazing. I believe you will be able to cultivate Quanzhen and step into the high-level core of the entire Yuan Dao!"

"If that time comes, I can follow Brother Wei and have a sip of soup.

Let me show my incompetent second uncle. Without his help, I, Mu Fang, can plant poles and flags around Fucheng through my own efforts! "

Wei Tao looked strange, "Brother Mu is drunk, and there are some things he doesn't want to say."

"What's wrong with talking about it?"

Mu Fang was already drunk and said with his tongue hanging out, "If my second uncle had become a master and became the master of the Yuan Dynasty early, why would I bother to guard this small stall on the edge of Nancheng and sigh?"

"I'm afraid I haven't taken the position of Deacon Yuan Yi for a long time. I don't have anything to do with football every day, so I just have to drink. Wouldn't it be nice?"
