Cultivation: I have an inventory

"What? Bai Wuji is Xiao Changqing?"

Jiang Family.

When Jiang Jiyue returned home and relayed what happened today to Hong Jiantao, Hong Jiantao showed an expression of disbelief that was almost the same as hers before.

First, he couldn't believe that the low-level casual cultivator who was discovered to have a talent for the Way of Talisman after he casually pointed it out to him, had not only successfully established his foundation in just over ten years, but had also transformed into a great cultivator with strength comparable to that of the late stage of foundation building!

This speed is simply incredible!

Even the elite genius disciples of the first-class Jindan sect are worthless in front of such a speed!

Second, he couldn't believe that if it was really Xiao Changqing, Xiao Changqing would be so bold as to slap the nephew of the Blood Crow Master in the face and not care about the face of the Jindan Master at all.

"What's going on, Jiyue, tell me quickly!"

Hong Jiantao, who has seen many ups and downs and is used to being unperturbed by praise or criticism, is a little out of control at this moment.

Jiang Jiyue told the story of how she and Mu Chunfeng went to Jinxiufang to find Xiao Changqing.

During her retelling, the shock on Hong Jiantao's face, whose temples were white, never faded, and his expression kept changing.

After Jiang Jiyue finished speaking for a long time, he came back to his senses and sat on the chair and muttered to himself: "Escape from the hands of the two great Jindan Zhenren of Baihua Valley and Luoxia Sect, doesn't it mean that Xiao Changqing is not in the late stage of foundation building or the perfect foundation building, but is already comparable to the fake Dan realm? This... How is it possible."

Without waiting for Jiang Jiyue to explain, Hong Jiantao smiled again and shook his head: "That's right. With this kid's previous personality, he was steady and cautious, and never arrogant. If he didn't have enough strength, he wouldn't be so arrogant after coming to Liyang Xiancheng and dare to offend the face of the Jiedan Zhenren."

Jiang Jiyue agreed with this.

When he was in Nanshanfang, Xiao Changqing was famous for being low-key.

Even though he turned from a casual cultivator at the bottom of the ‘slums’ to a talisman master of the Lingfu Pavilion, he was not arrogant and his mentality and behavior did not change much.

“Uncle, should we tell the family about Xiao Changqing’s matter, and also my father?” Jiang Jiyue suddenly spoke hesitantly.

Although he had already recognized his ancestors and acknowledged Jiang Canghai as his father from the bottom of his heart.

But.

Jiang Jiyue was still closer to Hong Jiantao.

After all, she was raised by Hong Jiantao, and before coming to Liyang Xiancheng, she never knew who her parents were.

Even if she knew it later, and understood that her father had difficulties and had to hide it, the missing feelings and companionship were missing.

So now if there is any secret, she will discuss it with Hong Jiantao first and ask Hong Jiantao for his opinion.

Hong Jiantao did not answer directly, but asked: "Jiyue, what do you think?"

Jiang Jiyue said: "When I left Jinxiufang, Xiao Changqing told me to tell you about his affairs. Don't tell others for the time being, don't let the Jiang family know. Because of his current troubles, he can handle it without fear. But if the Blood Crow and the Song family know his details, and we have a close relationship, it may not be a good thing for the Jiang family. So... I think Xiao Changqing is right, and we should keep it secret from the family for the time being."

Hong Jiantao nodded with relief and said: "It should be kept secret for the time being."

His ideas are somewhat different from those of Jiang Jiyue and Xiao Changqing.

In addition to the fact that Xiao Changqing is now in conflict with the Song family and the Blood Crow, the most important thing is that the Jiang family itself is in a lot of trouble now, and the future is unknown.

The head of the family, Jiang Canghai, is about to go to the southwest of Dayu Xiuxianjie to find Lu Daoming for revenge.

If Lu Daoming knew that Xiao Changqing had arrived in Liyang Xiancheng and had such a strong strength that was comparable to that of the fake Dan Zhenren, he would most likely find ways to "invite" Xiao Changqing to the westward team to help seek revenge on Luoxia Sect.

He might even ask him and Jiang Jiuyue to help persuade Xiao Changqing.

After all, this matter was Jiang Canghai's obsession, and the importance of any person or thing must be ranked after revenge.

Of course.

With Xiao Changqing's character, even if he took action and used the original favor as a condition, Xiao Changqing might not agree.

But Hong Jiantao didn't want to try.

At the beginning, he helped Xiao Changqing and gave him a pen, all out of his heart, and he didn't think about investment and return.

This is the grudge between Luoxia Sect's own people, and there is no need to involve Xiao Changqing.

If the Jiang family is thriving, it is reasonable to try to win over Xiao Changqing.

But the future of the Jiang family is uncertain now, and trying to win over Xiao Changqing is cheating people.

Jiang family, take care of yourself first, don't think about winning over anyone.

…

…

City Lord's Mansion.

Xiao Changqing, led by Zhu Xiaochuan, came to the most 'sacred' place in Liyang Immortal City for the first time and met the Liyang Guard Commander, Gu Zongyuan.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, we've finally waited for you."

Gu Zongyuan looked like a middle-aged man, not very old.

In fact, he was indeed not very old.

He was just over eighty years old, but his cultivation had already reached the great perfection of foundation building. If everything went well, he would definitely strive for Dan before he was a hundred years old.

The lifespan of a foundation building cultivator is at least one hundred and eighty years old. If the cultivation method is special or there is a strange encounter, the lifespan will increase again.

Just like Xiao Changqing, the upper limit of the lifespan of the longevity cultivation after the foundation building stage will be higher than that of ordinary cultivation methods. In addition, Xiao Changqing now has the method of body refining, so his lifespan is more than two hundred years.

Therefore, for foundation-building monks, reaching the Dan Formation Realm before the age of 100 is the peak time.

Before the age of one hundred and twenty, the impact will not be too great.

Only when you are over 120 years old, and you hit the Dan Formation realm in the future, will it have a big impact.

Therefore, Gu Zongyuan is considered 'very young' among the foundation-building monks.

Coupled with the qualifications of the Earth Spirit Root, they are considered to be one of the two people who are most likely to succeed in forming pills in Liyang Fairy City in the next twenty years, and they are worthy of their reputation.

"I've met Commander Gu."

Xiao Changqing saluted slightly.

"You're welcome. I'll call you Captain Hundred from now on, okay?" Gu Zongyuan raised Xiao Changqing's arm and said very enthusiastically: "Let's go, I heard Brother Zhu say yesterday that you agreed to join Liyang Guard. I booked the best restaurant in Liyang Fairy City, Zui Xian Lou, and also invited the Peony Fairy, one of the three great courtesans in Liyang Fairy City, to perform, so I can take over your duties as Captain 100. "

After saying that, Gu Zongyuan said to Zhu Xiaochuan: "Brother Zhu, let's go together."

Zhu Xiaochuan smiled and left without being polite.

Usually, there were not many opportunities for Gu Zongyuan to invite him to drink with him.

As for Zuixian Tower, although it costs a lot of money, the foundation-building monks grit their teeth and are still willing to spend some occasionally.

However, the three major courtesans in Liyang Fairy City were fairies that Zhu Xiaochuan could not usually come into contact with.

Because these three oirans themselves are foundation-building monks, not only are they beautiful and fragrant, but they also have astonishing attainments in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, which are enough to be of certain help to the foundation-building monks.

Therefore, the three major oirans are invited to perform specifically to add to the fun. They are usually late-stage foundation-building monks and must be core figures similar to the ten major families in order to be invited.

The group of people left the city lord's mansion, got on the flying boat, and flew towards their destination.

In the flying boat, Gu Zongyuan suddenly sent a message to Xiao Changqing: "Captain Hundred, when we meet for the first time, I don't know what your personality is like. If you don't like this kind of interaction, you don't need to participate in the future. Liyang Guard does not There is a set of rules for intrigues and winning over who you want to win over. Today, in addition to giving you a cleansing, it is also equivalent to officially announcing your identity to the outside world, mainly to the Song family and senior Blood Crow. "

Xiao Changqing nodded and replied through a message: "Thank you, Commander Gu. However, most of the time I came to Liyang Immortal City, I have been cultivating, and I really haven't had a good stroll. Today is just to see the world, there is nothing uncomfortable with it. ”

"That's good, that's good..." Gu Zongyuan smiled.

…

…

As Gu Zongyuan held a high-profile banquet for Xiao Changqing.

The news that there was a new captain named ‘Bai Wuji’ in Liyang Guard soon spread in Liyang Fairy City.

Countless low-level Qi-refining monks and early-stage foundation-building monks with no background are just talking topics after dinner. They are secretly envious of this foundation-building monk who suddenly appeared. They don’t know what is so special about him that he can be promoted to Liyang. Captain of the Guard.

From now on, there is another list of people not to be messed with in Liyang Immortal City.

But the senior officials who knew the inside story, such as the ten major families, were a little dumbfounded, and then they all waited to see the reaction of the Song family and the Blood Crow Master, as if they were watching a joke.

They knew about Xiao Changqing and He Yuan, and they also knew that the Song family had been investigating Xiao Changqing's details these days.

Many people are secretly guessing when the Song family will take action and how ruthless they will be.

As a result, Li Yangwei recruited people?

Captain Liyang Guard, even the Song family, which ranks among the top three among the ten major families, dare not move easily.

But if the Song family just pinched their noses and admitted it, did nothing, and just pretended that nothing had happened, then the Song family's prestige would be greatly affected.

Things like prestige are not particularly important to individual monks.

But for the family and the sect, it is something that can be called ‘depending on survival’!

Once damaged, the interests of the family and sect will also be greatly reduced.

Just like this time.

If the Song family does nothing, not only will their prestige be damaged, but they will also be suspected of being 'easy to bully', and it will even extend to the speculation that the Song family has offended Liyang Guards, or even offended Liyang Zhenren!

So when Gu Zongyuan took Xiao Changqing to the "Zui Xian Lou" for a drink, he had just finished eating and was about to listen to the "Shaoyao Fairy" piano performance.

The young master of the Song family, considered by many monks in Liyang Immortal City to be as famous as Gu Zongyuan, the other person who has the best hope of successfully forming pills in the next twenty years - Song Changning, has arrived!

He wanted to find out what was going on face to face, and even wanted to find out what Gu Zongyuan, the commander of Liyang Guard, meant.

The Song family's response was not untimely.

It cannot be said that he is not decisive.

Xiao Changqing became the captain of the Liyang Guard. It was already a certainty and they couldn't stop it.

Moreover, Gu Zongyuan also made it public with such great fanfare that everyone in Liyang Fairy City knew about it.

After today, the Song family will no longer be able to cause trouble for Xiao Changqing and seek revenge.

No matter what you do in the future, no matter how secretly you retaliate, it will be difficult to restore the lost majesty.

In this case, the Song family simply broke the boat.

You, Gu Zongyuan, openly announced that Xiao Changqing became the captain of the Liyang Guard at this time, right?

Then I won’t do it secretly or do so-called secret revenge.

You might as well come out in the open!

When questioned, Gu Zongyuan and Xiao Changqing were asked for an explanation!

I can't kill you now, and I can't take revenge directly, but you have to apologize for what you did, and you have to maintain the Song family's face!

The Song family does not dare to be enemies with Liyang Guard, but as one of the top ten families, they control many channels in Liyang Fairy City, and they also have an 'in-law' relationship with Zhenren Blood Crow, so they are not soft persimmons!

I won’t be manipulated by your Liyang Guard at will!

Therefore, the Song family did not send their men here and directly asked Song Changning to come forward.

"Brother Changning, it's such a coincidence that you come to Zuixian Tower for a drink today? Come on, come on, sit down and have a drink together." Gu Zongyuan saw that Song Changning didn't even bother to look for him, so he directly broke through the formation and pushed the door open, his eyes slightly trembling. He squinted, but soon a smile appeared on his face and he began to greet him warmly.

Song Changning would naturally quarrel with Gu Zong Yuanxu in normal times. After all, we are all "equally famous" geniuses. Even if they compete secretly, they can't make it look too ugly.

But today, he didn't have such thoughts, and asked directly in a cold voice: "Brother Zongyuan, I didn't come to drink today, but came to you specifically to ask clearly! But when did my Song family offend me? You? Or rather, Senior Blood Crow, when did I offend you?"

Gu Zongyuan deliberately went around the bush and said as if he didn't understand why: "Brother Chang Ning, how can you say this? How could the Song family offend me? Senior Blood Crow is a senior I respect and admire, and I would never dare to say such a thing."

"Not offended?" Song Changning suddenly turned his attention, stared at Xiao Changqing with a sharp expression, and asked: "Then why Brother Zongyuan recruited Bai Wuji into Liyang Guard at this time and gave him the position of captain ? Brother Zong Yuan, don’t say you don’t know that this person has offended our Song family and Master Xue Crow! No one will believe you if you say this!”

Gu Zongyuan secretly sighed in his heart that Song Changning was worthy of being as famous as himself, and he was quite capable of getting rid of him.

"Of course I know a little bit about this matter." Gu Zongyuan said with a wry smile: "But this is by no means that I am against the Song family or Senior Blood Crow. It is that I had already fought against the Song family before this happened. Captain Bai had negotiated the matter of joining Liyang Guard. As for what happened between Captain Bai and He Yuan, it happened later. Brother Changning, you said that I can't go back on my agreement and kick Captain Bai out just for the sake of a mere He Yuan. Yang Wei?"

"If this is the case, it is a trivial matter for my own reputation to be damaged. But Liyang Guard was established by my master himself, and it represents my master's face. How can I break my word?"

Song Changning had a gloomy face and said coldly: "Of course I don't dare to hurt the face of Master Liyang. But when did Bai Wuji get recruited into Liyang Guard? This matter needs to be investigated carefully. !”

"If it is really what you said, Brother Zongyuan, then not only my Song family, but also Senior Blood Crow, I believe, will not have any complaints."

"But if Brother Zongyuan knows that Bai Wuji has offended me, the Song family and Senior Blood Crow, but he wants to deliberately go against us and recruit this person into Liyang Guard. Then in this matter, Brother Zongyuan needs to give us a explain!"
