The Path to Immortality

Fang Ping nodded and said calmly: "I heard something."

Ji Changqing's tone increased and he said, "Do you know, fellow Taoist, the true identity of Taoist Baihe?"

Fang Ping's hand holding the tea cup paused slightly and said, "Mr. Ji, do you really want to tell me that he is related to the Zhao family?"

Did this kid actually guess it?

Ji Changqing was slightly surprised.

But then I thought about it, Taoist Bai He has been acting more and more recklessly in the past few years, with obvious targeting. Even among the casual cultivators in the city, there are some discerning people who can see something.

The man in front of him came from Luoyang Sect and had a good background. It was not surprising that he knew something.

He immediately made an expression of admiration and said, "Fellow Taoist is really well-informed."

"After several years of investigation by our Ji family, we have recently confirmed that Taoist Baihe had some unclear relationship with the Zhao family long before the Zhao family moved to Luoyue Valley."

"Later, Taoist Baihe's identity was exposed. After escaping to Luoyue Valley, he quickly got in touch with the Zhao family and received secret protection from the Zhao family."

"It is precisely because of the Zhao family monks who secretly reported the news that this thief was able to repeatedly escape the pursuit of the law enforcement team."

"The Zhao family was originally an outside force that was able to settle in Luoyuefang, but it got the help of my Ji family. Who would have thought that in just over twenty years, the Zhao family would reveal their true nature, secretly colluding with the robbery cultivators, and harassing the former The monks in Laifang City and the law enforcement team in Laifang City have ulterior motives."

Mentioning this, Ji Changqing's old face couldn't help but become a bit evil, obviously showing his heartfelt hatred for the Zhao family.

Luoyuefang is so big. If the Zhao family wants to expand, the first person to bear the brunt is the original controller of Luoyue Island.

His personal interests were harmed, so it was natural for Ji Changqing to gnash his teeth at the Zhao family.

Fang Ping could understand this person's mood and acted like he shared the same hatred with the enemy: "This Zhao family actually colluded with Jie Xiu. It's really abominable. When Mr. Ji came on this trip, could it be that you have found Taoist Baihe's hiding place and want to Take action against him?"

Ji Changqing knew that the drama was coming.

He nodded and said to Fang Ping: "Through a secret report from a disciple of the Zhao family who abandoned the dark and turned to the light, we have indeed found the whereabouts of Taoist Baihe. He is currently hiding on a small island occupied by the Zhao family outside Luoyue Lake. However, this Baihe The Taoist has perfected his Qi cultivation, so it is easy to defeat this beast, but it is not that simple to kill him..."

After saying that, he looked at Fang Ping with expectation in his eyes.

However, no matter how hard he stared, Fang Ping seemed to have completely missed his request for help.

He just smiled and said: "The Ji family has foundation-building cultivators sitting in charge. How can a calamity cultivator who has only perfected his qi practice turn the world upside down? In my opinion, Mr. Ji, your worries are unfounded."

Ji Changqing sighed and said: "Although the head of the Ji family is a foundation builder, the Zhao family also has a foundation builder monk. They are restrained by each other and cannot be easily moved."

Fang Ping didn't take it seriously: "Isn't there still the Shi family here? I heard that the Shi family has always been with your Ji family. As long as the head of the Shi family takes action, isn't it easy? Ji Lao must not let others have their ambitions and destroy them. You are so majestic!”

Seeing that Fang Ping was extremely cunning and would not be fooled, Ji Changqing had no choice but to take the initiative to clarify the matter.

Said: "To be honest, the Zhao family does not actually have only one Foundation Builder. As early as the end of last year, Zhao Qiqing, the younger brother of the current head of the Zhao family, had been secretly promoted to Foundation Builder."

What?

Fang Ping was surprised.

He really didn't know this top-secret information.

In other words, except for the top executives of the three major families on the island, probably not many monks in the entire Luoyuefang knew about it!

He couldn't help but said: "The Zhao family really has two foundation builders?"

Ji Changqing showed a slight look of frustration on his face: "The Zhao family has a deep foundation after all. Even though it suffered a catastrophe and was forced to move to Luoyue Valley from other places, it still retained a certain amount of heritage."

He paused and said: "As far as we know, although the Zhao family did not obtain the Foundation Building Pill, they still tried their best to prepare three Foundation Building Spiritual Items for Zhao Qiqing. Relying on these three Foundation Building Spiritual Items, Zhao Qiqing succeeded in establishing the foundation in one fell swoop and is now consolidating the initial stage of foundation building.”

"It's not too late to take action now. If Zhao Qiqing has stabilized his realm, understood and mastered the foundation-building spell, it will be difficult to take action again!"

Fang Ping said in confusion: "In that case, why don't you take advantage of him before he attacks the foundation?"

Ji Changqing sighed: "The Zhao family's confidentiality work is very good. It was only after Zhao Qiqing didn't show up for several months in order to attack the foundation that we aroused suspicion and tried every means to find out the news about the other party's successful promotion."

Fang Ping pondered: "Even if Zhao Qiqing succeeds in establishing the foundation, his combat power will still be inferior to the two veteran foundation-building monks from the Gui family and the Shi family. Besides, didn't your Ji family master the first-order formation on the island?"

No matter how you look at it, there is no need to rely on the power of outsiders! Unless you value more than just your own combat power, but more...

The bitterness on Ji Changqing's face became more and more intense, as if there was something unspeakable.

But when it came to his own secrets, he did not reveal them in the end. He only said: "The Zhao family is a weapon-refining family with a long heritage. We suspect that they may have a spiritual weapon specializing in breaking formations!"

"..."

Fang Ping was a little speechless.

If you had known this, why did you let the Zhao family in in the first place?

In just twenty years, tigers have become a problem!

I'm sweating now.

Ji Changqing glanced at Fang Ping's face and guessed what he was thinking, and said with a wry smile: "At the beginning, the Zhao family's posture was very low and the disguise was too good. No one thought that they had such a foundation. Furthermore, in order to relocate, When we entered the city, he made an offer to our family that we couldn't refuse...I regret it, I regret it!"

He sighed repeatedly, feeling regret from the bottom of his heart.

After hearing this, Fang Ping fully understood Ji Changqing's intention.

If the Zhao family had only one foundation builder, he might still consider whether to participate in this matter, but it was only a possibility.

However, the Zhao family now has two foundation-building monks, and their top combat power is on par with the Ji family and the Shi family.

Under this situation, Fang Ping was even more unwilling to get involved in this muddy water.

He said without hesitation: "I have gone out for training under the order of the sect. I will not rashly interfere in the grievances and disputes of local forces. If Mr. Ji wants to ask me to take action against the Zhao family and Taoist Baihe, then please come back." Bar."

Ji Changqing had already expected Fang Ping's attitude, and he didn't expect that the other party would be a stupid young man with a strong sense of justice who would actively ask for help after just a few words from him.

He only advised: "That Taoist Baihe transformed into a robbery cultivator and repeatedly robbed the market, which even affected your sect's Dan Pavilion business. What's more, once a conflict breaks out between our Ji family and Zhao family, it will inevitably sweep through the entire Luoyue Valley. Do you think that if you stay out of the matter, you won't be implicated?"

Of course Fang Ping is not that naive.

But on the surface, he still sneered: "Why, do you three families still dare to take action against the five great immortal sects?"

Ji Changqing spoke in a humble tone: "My Ji family has controlled Luoyue Island for generations. We can escape the monks but cannot escape the temple. Of course we dare not offend the disciples of the Immortal Sect."

But then he changed the topic and said: "But once the situation becomes chaotic, what if someone deliberately muddies the waters and pretends to be our Ji family to take action against Luoyundan Pavilion?"
