Cultivation: I have an inventory

"Me and Shopkeeper Hong from the Jiang family. He helped me a lot when I was in the Qi Refining Realm."

Xiao Changqing said openly.

Now that Master Blood Crow is dead and the Song family has been destroyed, his biggest threat in Liyang Fairy City no longer exists.

So even if his vest falls off and is exposed, there is nothing to worry about.

Not to mention the Jiang family and the Mu family.

Even if someone finds out that he is Xiao Changqing from Nanshanfang in the southwest, with his current status and strength, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Baihua Valley and Luoxia Sect no longer pose a threat to him.

What's more, the Jiang family and the Luoxia Sect were mortal enemies.

"So that's it. Then it's settled. When I go back, I will give one-third of the Song family's property to the Jiang family." Gu Zongyuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"So much for one third? With the current strength of the Jiang family, can they afford it?" Xiao Changqing was a little surprised.

One-third of the Song family, plus the Jiang family's original property, could probably put the Jiang family directly in the top five.

"The Jiang family's own background is still far behind. But behind the Jiang family, there was my senior brother Zuo Zhenren, and he seemed to have some connections with senior brother Guangqin. Now there is Brother Bai who supports the Jiang family. What about the Jiang family? The backing is too strong! Even compared to the Lei family, there is no problem in taking this little bit of property.

A fake elixir master, a real elixir-forming master, and Xiao Changqing, a mysterious being who is suspected to be in the middle stage of elixir-forming!

Compared with the backers, the Lei family is really weaker!

After all, although the Lei family also has an ancestor of pill formation and two fake pill masters.

But the time of the ancestor of the Lei family was short, and he had only a few years to live.

You never know when you will return to the west.

"That's it, then so be it." Xiao Changqing nodded.

He knew that behind the Jiang family was Master Zuo Zichunzuo of the fake elixir realm, the eldest disciple of Master Liyang, but he did not expect that there was also a connection with Master Guangqin.

At the end of the auction, there was an unpleasant quarrel between him and Master Guangqin.

But in order to help the Jiang family, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, this is not to let him deal with the real person Guangqin, nor does it mean that the two of them are in the same camp.

He didn't need to worry about the backers behind the Jiang family.

He was simply repaying part of Shopkeeper Hong's kindness back then.

Just when Gu Zongyuan was about to leave, he suddenly stopped again and patted his head: "There is one more thing, I almost forgot. Brother Bai, aren't you concerned about the foundation-building monk surnamed Cui from Jinxiufang? Suddenly at home It was a tragic death, including the death of the concubine and the maid..."

Xiao Changqing nodded.

This happened before they went out of the city to hunt down the puppet evil king.

Three foundation-building monks teamed up to explore and seek opportunities.

As a result, the three of them gained a lot and seemed to have obtained treasures. However, after returning, the two foundation-building monks in Liyang Immortal City were suspected of being haunted by evil spirits.

Among them, Cui, surnamed Zhuji, lived in Jinxiufang and was almost a neighbor to Xiao Changqing. After hiring a fake alchemy monk to help drive away evil spirits, he still died unexpectedly.

"The whereabouts of the third foundation-building monk they went out to explore together have been traced. This man is lucky because he has a treasure to suppress evil, so he is still alive. Of course, the situation is not optimistic. He took the initiative to come here two days ago Liyang Immortal City wanted to find a solution, so we found him."

"This matter can be confirmed to be the work of evil spirits."

"According to the survivor's description, they met a woman in white who was good at musical instruments and had a very melancholy and beautiful singing voice. When the three of them entered the ruins cave, they saw the woman playing the piano and singing. They thought that someone had taken advantage of her. She also came to search for treasures like them. After singing, the woman suddenly raised her head, revealing a pale and bloodless but beautiful face, which was even worse than the three great courtesans in Liyang Fairy City. , but the surviving monks couldn’t completely remember what they looked like. They only remembered that they were very stunning at the time..."

"Just when the three of them wanted to come forward and say hello, the woman suddenly disappeared, making them feel like they were in a dream. The woman, the singing, and the sound of the piano were all hallucinations..."

"After the three people searched around, they found no trace of the woman..."

"The three of them temporarily put it behind them and ignored it."

"I just didn't expect that after they came back, they would all be haunted by nightmares. The woman in white who was good at music would appear in their dreams every night."

"It's just that it's different from how beautiful she was when we first saw the ruins. In the dream, this woman's delicate face became rotten and disfigured, and it was extremely terrifying..."

"Later, even when they are awake during the day, the image of the woman and the melancholy singing will appear in their minds, making them have trouble sleeping and eating, and become irritable..."

As Gu Zongyuan narrated, what happened slowly emerged.

The horror of evil spirits is also about to emerge.

Being able to kill three Foundation Establishment monks is not a great skill.

But in such a weird way, and for such a long time after the incident, it was extremely terrifying to have the three foundation-building monks entangled.

Even Master Jie Dan doesn't have such incredible means.

Xiao Changqing possesses a soul that surpasses that of ordinary monks in the middle stage of pill formation. He has killing moves such as the Nightmare Technique, but he can only use it in person to make the enemy fall into nightmare hallucinations, instead of following the enemy like maggots eating bones, eating away at the opponent bit by bit. of spirit.

"The place where this evil spirit appeared is more than a thousand miles away from Yangxian City, so there is no need to worry too much."

"I asked someone to check the whole process. Apart from these three people, there have been no other similar evil spirits harming people."

"But it is better to be prepared. Brother Bai, you can ask your two concubines to stock up more evil spirits such as the evil-breaking talisman recently. This is very useful for restraining evil spirits. As for you, Brother Bai, your soul is so strong that ordinary evil spirits have to avoid you when they see you. There is no danger." Gu Zongyuan said.

Evil spirits, although they are not the same as spiritual attacks.

But according to some classics that have been passed down in the world of immortal cultivation, in addition to evil spirits such as the evil-breaking talisman, a strong soul is also one of the best ways to restrain evil spirits.

"Thank you, Brother Gu, for reminding me." Xiao Changqing felt a little relieved.

It seems that no matter where the evil spirits are, they are the same and will be restrained by items such as the evil-breaking talisman.

Even though this evil spirit was much stronger than the one that had entangled Ruan Qingzhu's son Ruan Bufan in Nanshanfang, it did not deviate from this rule.

Even the half-human, half-evil spirit Mu Renjie was seriously injured by Xiao Changqing's use of dozens of evil-breaking talismans and calming talismans in one breath.

No matter how terrifying or strange the evil spirit is, as long as it has flaws, can be avoided or even killed, it is not so scary.

…

After Gu Zongyuan left, Xiao Changqing went into seclusion again and began to forge puppets.

The third-level middle-grade skills made him a little obsessed with it, and even the number of times he asked the Lin sisters to serve him on weekdays was reduced.

In the past month since he received the inheritance, he has successfully refined two second-level high-grade puppets, without any accidents, the process was very smooth, and the quality of the finished puppets was also very high.

The skills extracted by the system really seemed to be obtained by Xiao Changqing's hard work for decades, and even if he had just started, he would not be unfamiliar.

So Xiao Changqing was confident that he could refine a third-level puppet.

A second-level high-quality puppet is a treasure that can be auctioned once every ten years in Liyang Xiancheng.

A second-level high-quality puppet is equivalent to the combat power of a late-stage foundation-building puppet under normal circumstances.

The combat power of a late-stage foundation-building puppet is not weak in Liyang Xiancheng, and it is already a relatively high-level one.

After all, the total number of Jindan and Jiadan Zhenren in Liyang Xiancheng is no more than a hundred.

If it is taken to other remote markets or small foundation-building families, the second-level high-quality puppet can be called a peerless killer weapon, enough to make a foundation-building family dominate.

"When I refine a third-level puppet, I will have more means of protecting the way. In the future, when I form a pill or when I am weak, I will also have a guardian."

Xiao Changqing is in high spirits and is very concerned about the puppet.

As a casual cultivator, there are many advantages, such as free coming and going and fewer troubles, but there are also disadvantages.

Fighting alone, there will always be times when you can't take care of everything.

Just like when he left Nanshanfang, he performed the Dragon Song Technique, and his soul fell into a weak period. If he did not have a strong means of protection, it would be quite dangerous.

For example, when he was forming a pill in the future, if he chose to rent a third-level spiritual vein in Liyang Immortal City to break through, it might be better. After all, he had established a firm foothold in Liyang Immortal City, and the rules of Liyang Immortal City were strict over the years, and there had never been an incident of harming a foundation-building cultivator to form a pill for no reason.

But if he went to other immortal cities to borrow a spiritual vein to form a pill, he would have to be on guard against someone taking advantage of him when he was forming a pill.

The third-level puppet was crucial at these times.

The Lin sisters Xiao Changqing were trustworthy, but the two sisters were too weak. Even the elder sister Lin Ziyu, who had a higher cultivation level, would need two or three years of accumulation to break through to the foundation-building stage, and it was not known whether she could cross the threshold of foundation-building.

Hualala!

As the thought moved, the third-level materials in the storage bag appeared in the practice room one by one.

Xiao Changqing counted them one by one to make sure there was nothing missing.

"Start making!"

...

...

Jiang Family.

As Jiang Family Patriarch Jiang Canghai followed Liyang Immortal's eldest disciple Zuo Zichun, Zuo Zhenren, to the southwest of Dayu Xiuxian Realm, Jiang Family became much more low-key.

With the departure of the Patriarch, the biggest backer behind him also left, and the title of Jiang Family as one of the top ten families was completely unworthy of its name.

Therefore, Jiang Family disciples were not so confident outside, and would be much more low-key.

As for Jiang Family's business, it was not affected too much.

After all, although there was no third-level talisman master Jiang Canghai, Jiang Family still had several second-level talisman masters like Hong Jiantao, and there were even more first-level talisman masters.

Jiang Family still firmly controlled more than half of the talisman market in Liyang Immortal City, and the monthly profit was still not to be underestimated.

In this case, naturally other forces would be ready to move, coveting the fat meat of Jiang Family.

The City Lord's Mansion will remember that Jiang Canghai, the head of the Jiang family, volunteered to fight on the front line. If he has merits, other forces will not recognize it.

Most forces only recognize one standard, that the weak will be beaten.

Jiang Canghai is not here, and Zuo Zichun, the backer of the Jiang family, is not here either. That is a good time to poach people!

After all, the Jiang family is one of the top ten families. Unless there are special circumstances, no one dares to attack directly. But no one can control normal competition such as poaching and stealing business.

In the past few months, the Jiang family's talisman masters have been poached one after another, and their business has been secretly suppressed by several families, making them in a dilemma.

Especially in the past half month, the Song family, which ranked at the top of the top ten families, was destroyed, leaving many channels and interests. Other families with stable status took this opportunity to make a fortune and expand their family scale and industry. The Jiang family not only couldn't intervene, but could only watch other families eat meat and have their mouths full of oil, while they had to keep "bleeding".

Invisibly, the Jiang family felt that they were about to become the second Song family!

At this time, Hong Jiantao had no choice but to use the "magic trick" that Jiang Canghai left for him before he left, and asked for help from Master Guangqin.

When Master Zuo took Jiang Canghai to the southwest battlefield, he arranged a way out for the Jiang family. If the Jiang family encountered troubles that could not be solved, they could go to his junior brother Master Guangqin for help before they came back.

A few days ago, Hong Jiantao found Master Guangqin's cave and handed over a visiting card, but he didn't even see Master Guangqin. Even though he explained his identity and purpose, and moved out Zuo Zichun, Master Guangqin did not meet him in person. He just asked the servant to reply that he would ask about the matter when he was free, and asked Hong Jiantao to go back and wait for news.

Hong Jiantao had no choice, and he couldn't stay there shamelessly. He must ask to see Master Guangqin. He didn't have such a big face. If Master Guangqin was unhappy, the Jiang family would be in real trouble!

Hong Jiantao returned to the Jiang family with worries, thinking that this matter might not be good.

Master Guangqin's attitude was much colder than he imagined. He didn't know whether Master Zuo didn't say hello or the relationship between the two was not good enough. Master Guangqin just agreed casually and didn't intend to really take care of the Jiang family.

After waiting for several days, Hong Jiantao still didn't wait for good news.

Several families were taking advantage of the weak Jiang family while encroaching on the industries leaked by the Song family. The situation of the Jiang family was still getting worse.

"It seems that Master Guangqin can't be relied on." Hong Jiantao frowned, and an idea came to his mind.

Now the Jiang family is not completely desperate, there is another way!

It's just that Hong Jiantao doesn't really want to do it, even if he asks Guangqin Zhenren, he is not very willing.

"In the end, can I only ask Xiao Changqing, the former little guy, for help?" Hong Jiantao sighed.

Asking Xiao Changqing for help is not because he can't let go of his face, but because he doesn't want to repay a favor.

But with Xiao Changqing's current status and strength, he can fight against two fake Dan Zhenren alone, and he is on good terms with the commander of Liyang Guard. It is rumored that the death of Xue Ya Zhenren and the expulsion of the Song family are all related to him!

If Xiao Changqing is willing to help, the troubles of the Jiang family will naturally be solved.

Even Xiao Changqing is qualified to be the backer of the Jiang family!

"There is really no other way, so it can only be like this..."

Hong Jiantao quickly made up his mind.

He is not a pedantic person. If he is unwilling to do something, he will break his principles when he has to do it.

After all, it is easy to distinguish between his own principles and the survival of the Jiang family.

What Hong Jiantao never expected was that just as he was about to visit Xiao Changqing for help, the crisis of the Jiang family took a turn for the better... (End of this chapter)
