Chapter 141: Wanning Market, killing the two heroes of the Qiu family, unexpected gains

After a few people introduced themselves again.

Shangguan Feng piloted the treasure ship and the group flew towards Huainan Prefecture.

On the flight.

Fu Changsheng quickly went through the intelligence information that Shangguan Hongyu had revealed to him not long ago in his message.

The entire Huainan Prefecture has seven counties under its jurisdiction, corresponding to the seven ninth-rank families: Shangguan, Ping, Lin, Liang, Qi, Hong and Cao.

In addition to the seven great families, there are three eighth-rank families.

The Shangguan family and the Liang family are both under the jurisdiction of the Nangong family, an eighth-rank family.

As Yunshan County had not yet been settled by any formal ninth-rank family, when he moved in, it would temporarily be under the direct jurisdiction of the Zhenshi Division.

The Zhenshi Division was established by the dynasty to supervise the aristocratic families and was located in the Wanning market.

Wanning Market was jointly founded by the Huainan families. Half of the shops in the market belong to the eight major families, and the remaining half is divided among the seven ninth-rank families. Based on their own strength, some ninth-rank families can get three shops, while some can't get any, such as the Lin family of Lin Tianfu and his wife, who were promoted to a ninth-rank family not long ago.

Of course.

In Wanning Market.

There is also a unique existence, that is the Wanning Chamber of Commerce branch.

He asked Shangguan Hongyu, but even she didn't know the details of the Wanning Chamber of Commerce's origins. She only knew that they had set up branches in every state, and could bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill openly.

Since this is my first time to Wanning Market.

Fu Changsheng was mostly paying attention to the terrain along the way, and from time to time he made a few notes on the topographic map sent by Shangguan Hongyu.

The treasure ship sailed for several days.

However, the number of cultivators coming and going increased significantly. Among them, the foundation-building cultivators who were rarely seen in Anyang County could be seen here from time to time with one or two sword rainbows rushing by.

The entire Wanning market is located on the Taiqiu Mountains.

The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist.

At the entrance of the mountain gate, there stands a diamond-shaped mirror. When monks enter and exit, they use the token in their hands. Whether entering or exiting, they must be inspected by the diamond-shaped mirror.

In addition to the two Qi-cultivating monks who were responsible for maintaining order, there was also a Foundation-Building monk sitting cross-legged beside them. This person was Shangguan Chen, whom he had not seen for several years.

According to Shangguan Hongyu's introduction, the top ten families in Huainan Prefecture need to send a foundation-building cultivator to guard the entrance to Wanning Market for one year every ten years. The rotation every ten years is a common agreement.

Shangguan Chen saw Shangguan Feng appear and came towards him from afar. His eyes fell on Fu Changsheng and he raised his eyebrows, because when the elders of the clan were discussing, they mentioned that Fu Changsheng had just broken through the foundation building stage. It was really unexpected that he broke through to the second level of foundation building in less than half a year.

To know.

He only broke through to the third level of foundation building last year.

But he broke through ten years earlier than Fu Changsheng.

The young are truly to be feared!
If Hongyu and this boy could get married, maybe the Shangguan family would be able to use this boy to get ahead in the future. It's a pity that those old stubborn people in the family would never agree to this marriage and are obsessed with marrying up to the Nangong family, an eighth-rank family.

Shangguan Chen waved his sleeves.

A pass token floated towards Fu Changsheng:

"Patriarch Fu, please leave your spiritual imprint on it. From now on, you can directly enter and exit Wanning Market with this card."

Originally, it would cost one hundred low-grade spirit stones to apply for such a long-term pass token, but Shangguan Chen did not mention it.

However, Fu Changsheng knew the market situation and immediately handed the box containing the spirit stones to Shangguan Chen:
"Master Laochen is here."

When passing through the diamond mirror.

A beam of yellow light shot out from the mirror and swept past him at an extremely fast speed.

After flashing through the entrance of the formation, what came into view were rows of small wooden buildings. The building materials of these small buildings were first-grade top-grade Cang Ling wood. There were a total of four streets planned, with shops lining both sides of the main street and a constant stream of cultivators coming and going.

Compared with Nanyang Market, it seems much more lively.

"If I could own a shop here, I would make a fortune."

Fu Changsheng was moved by what he saw.

In addition to the shop.

Wanningfang City is also divided into residential areas. The southern area is a small courtyard rented by Qi-cultivating monks, and the northern area is a series of individually developed caves. The spiritual energy in the caves is comparable to a second-level spiritual vein, so those who can afford to rent these caves are often foundation-building monks.

On West Street.

Only a narrow street was left.

This is a stall specially provided for monks to set up. Compared with those magnificently decorated shops, there are more people coming here, and of course, almost all of them are Qi-cultivating monks.

The Zhenshisi is located on the east street.

No cultivator can approach within a three-mile radius here without permission, and a special protective magic circle has been set up.

Shangguan Feng looked up at the sky and said:

"The people from the Zhenshi Division have already left their posts. We will stay at the Yunxianlai Inn tonight and go through the relevant formalities tomorrow morning. What do you think, fellow Taoists?"

Naturally, no one would have any objections.

Fu Changsheng also wanted to take this opportunity to go to the West Street vendor and get the strange seed first.

Yunkelai Inn was founded by the Nangong family, an eighth-rank family.

Shopkeeper Nangong recognized Shangguan Feng and his three companions from afar, and hurriedly came out to greet them in person, and arranged room numbers for them with a smile.

This was the first time he met Fu Changsheng, and he looked very unfamiliar. In addition, Fu Changsheng's cultivation was still at the peak of Qi training, and he was in his twenties. He naturally assumed that he had followed Shangguan Feng or Patriarch Liang down the mountain to gain experience, and naturally lived in the same room.

Never thought.

Shangguan Feng took the initiative to introduce Fu Changsheng's identity.

Nangong, the patriarch of a Qigong family, didn't pay much attention to it, but he still smiled and said politely: "I don't know if you want Room No. 1 or Room No. 2."

In his opinion, Changsheng, the patriarch of a small and insignificant family, could not live in the Tianhao Room like Shangguan Feng and the others, after all, there was a difference in their status.

Fu Changsheng pointed at the keys to the first row of Tianzi rooms still hanging on the wall and said:
"I want room six of Tianhao"

this.
There is obviously a lack of distinction between superiors and inferiors.

Shopkeeper Nangong glanced at the expressions of Shangguan Feng and the others, and saw that the other four took the keys and went upstairs. He didn't seem to react much to Fu Changsheng's choice of Room No. 1.

There was no need to meddle in other people's business at the moment.

He ordered the servant to hand the key to Room 6 of Tianhao to Fu Changsheng.

After paying the deposit.

Fu Changsheng went upstairs immediately.

There was a pair of twins sitting in a private room near the door on the first floor. When Shangguan Feng and others went upstairs and Fu Changsheng was checking in and paying the deposit alone, he happened to look at the counter.

These two people are the twins Qiu Taifeng and Qiu Taiyun from Pingyang County.

The two of them withdrew their gazes from Fu Changsheng, looked at each other, and said almost in unison:

"Fu Changsheng from Luofeng Mountain!"

The two of them were responsible for thoroughly investigating the cause of death of their ancestor in Wanguiyuan. When they arrived at the Zhang family in Anyang County, the head of the Zhang family insisted that the death of their ancestor was related to Fu Changsheng. At that time, the two of them thought that the head of the Zhang family wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and did not pay much attention to it.

Otherwise.

As the Zhang family was destroyed by the Fu family.

Only then did they realize something was wrong, and they traced the cause all the way, and even interviewed the cultivators who had entered the Wangui Abyss with Fu Changsheng that year.

At last.

Through a large reward.

I learned this from a casual cultivator named Wang Fugui.

Back then, my ancestor was indeed killed in the Wangui Abyss together with Fu Changsheng and Yu Po Po.

Several years passed.

Now, the two brothers have broken through to the peak of Qi training, and using the secret technique of combined attack, they can barely last a round against those in the early stage of foundation building.

The two brothers have been looking for an opportunity to avenge their dead ancestor, but Fu Changsheng's whereabouts remain a mystery, making it extremely difficult to track him down.

Never thought.

When the brothers came to purchase cultivation supplies for the clan, they happened to meet Fu Changsheng.

A flash of murderous intent flashed across Qiu Taiyun's eyes, and he transmitted his voice:
"Brother, this is a golden opportunity to kill the villain Fu Changsheng. I suggest that we postpone the purchase. What do you think?"

Qiu Taifeng was a little hesitant.

This time, the two brothers went down the mountain with the spiritual stones that the clan had accumulated for several years. The clan leader repeatedly told them that no matter what problems they encountered along the way, purchasing them must be the first priority.

after all.

These are the spirit stones they have saved up by tightening their belts and cutting back on food for several years.

It is particularly important for the development of the clan in the next few years.

Therefore, Qiu Taifeng shook his head and said:
"It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Let's wait until we finish the procurement."

Qiu Taiyun became anxious when he heard this.

He quickly said:
"Brother, we have been tracking Fu Changsheng for several years. Every time he goes out, he wears an invisibility cloak. You know how difficult it is to track his whereabouts.

Judging from the reaction of the thief Fu Changsheng just now, it is obviously his first time to come to Wanning Market. After resting in the inn, I can guarantee that he will go to West Street. From Yunlai Inn to West Street, we pass Wutong Lane, which is very remote. It is night now, which is a good time to strike. "

"Brother, maybe Fu Changsheng will leave the city tomorrow. Once he puts on his invisibility cloak, it will be difficult for us to find him. If we miss this opportunity, it will be gone!"

"The ancestor is our biological grandfather."

"Don't you want him to rest in peace in his grave?"

"If you're worried about making mistakes, I'll go alone."

Qiu Taiyun became more and more excited as he spoke.

Qiu Taifeng was just about to say something to persuade him.

But Fu Changsheng soon came down from Room Tianhao again.

Qiu Taiyun put on a mask, turned around and left the box immediately, and followed behind.

Qiu Taifeng was worried and caught up with Qiu Taiyun.

Now that you have decided to take action.

Then you have to kill with one strike.

He quickly transmitted a few words to Qiu Taiyun.

The two of them flashed and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Fu Changsheng came out of the inn and identified the direction. He had no intention of wandering around.

He immediately walked towards West Street.

Because he had to go to the Zhenshi Division early tomorrow morning to register his status as a ninth-rank family, and he didn't know how late he would have to work. He was afraid that the strange seed from the blood-colored forbidden land would be taken away by someone else first.

Otherwise.

Come out of the inn.

He immediately noticed that there seemed to be a pair of eyes behind him falling on him, although it disappeared quickly, it was still a newcomer.

for safety.

He still had an idea:
"Exchange Information"

hum!
The panel vibrates.

A large amount of yellow light surged.

Followed by.

Lines of text appeared:

"【When you checked in, the brothers Qiu Taifeng and Qiu Taiyun discovered your whereabouts. They had already arrived at the corner of Wutong Lane and laid out a fire array. They decided to kill you with one strike to avenge their grandfather, Old Ancestor Qiu. The brothers Qiu Taifeng and Qiu Taiyun brought with them the Qiu family's savings of several years to purchase supplies for the clan】"

Qiu Taifeng Qiu Taiyun? !
Fu Changsheng was in a trance.

After coming out of Wanguiyuan, intelligence mentioned that the two brothers had gone to Zhang's family in Niu Shou Mountain to inquire about the cause of death of Patriarch Qiu. So many years have passed, but they never thought that the two of them still hadn't given up.

Originally in Wanning Market.

He didn't want to cause trouble.

Especially tomorrow is a critical day for the Fu family.

But when he saw the second half of the information, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He was just worrying that the spirit stones he brought with him were not enough to purchase the second-grade top-grade Cangming Stone. Unexpectedly, someone brought him a pillow just as he was dozing off.

I sneered in my heart.

The right hand hidden in the sleeve quickly made hand gestures, and the purple energy and divine light in the body were ready to be released.

At night.

There are far fewer monks coming out for activities.

Especially those remote places where few people go are eerily quiet.

When approaching the corner of the sycamore tree.

Fu Changsheng swept his spiritual sense.

As expected, a fire formation was found at the corner.

This formation diagram is of the best first-grade quality. If he is still at the peak of Qi training and has not yet developed spiritual consciousness, I am afraid that the wish of the Qiu Taiyun brothers will really come true.

He didn't change his pace.

Walk towards Wutong Lane step by step.

Forty feet.

Thirty feet.

Twenty feet.

The eyes are about to fall into the picture of flames.

But there was no trace of danger on his face.

Qiu Taiyun was secretly delighted at the moment.

at last.

He finally got the chance to kill his grandfather's enemies.

He immediately made hand gestures.

When the fire formation diagram is about to be activated.

Sudden mutation occurs!

However, Fu Changsheng, who was about to step into the range of the fire array diagram, disappeared strangely. At the same time, a beam of purple divine light shot towards his brow as fast as lightning:

"It was discovered!"

How can it be!

However, their brothers used the speed talisman and ambushed here half a cup of tea earlier than Fu Changsheng. The other party had no spiritual consciousness, so how could he find the trap?

And it stopped precisely one step away from the fire array diagram!
Qiu Taiyun has reached the peak of Qi training and has rich combat experience. When he discovered something was wrong, a golden protective shield immediately lit up on his body.

However, the golden talisman shield that could normally withstand the strongest attack from a peak Qi training master could not even last a moment when facing the rushing purple divine light, and it collapsed with a loud bang!
"What kind of spell is this?!"

Qiu Taiyun was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

In a hurry.

He only had time to hold up a bronze mirror to protect his heart.

Ding!
The second-grade inferior heart-protecting bronze mirror was instantly pierced by the purple divine light.

There is this opportunity for a turnaround.

He dodged and narrowly avoided the attack of the purple divine light, but a sound of breaking air came from behind him, and this time he didn't have time to react.

A pair of sharp claws made a sharp sound and split his forehead in two at lightning speed.

The moment he fell to the ground.

But he saw that his brother opposite him had been pierced through the heart by a sword without him knowing when.

When the last glimmer of life disappeared from his eyes.

The words that an old ancestor had said to his brother in private at that time flashed through his mind:
"Taifeng, I know you two brothers have a good relationship, but you can no longer indulge your younger brother. It is because you, as the eldest brother, have been following him around and cleaning up his mess that he has become more and more emotional. If you can't be tough with him, one day, you two brothers will definitely fall flat on your face!"

He overheard it in the corner.

Disagree.

Especially after so many years, the two brothers have experienced many ups and downs, but in the end they are still safe and sound. They can quickly launch an attack on the foundation-building stage.

Can.
Which thought.

He actually died at the hands of that bastard Fu Changsheng!
Unwilling!

I died unwillingly!!
After breaking through to the foundation-building stage.

Especially after breaking through to the second level of foundation building.

Fu Changsheng controlled the second-level magic weapons, the Heavenly Thunder Sword and the Blood Moon Scepter, to fight at the same time without any pressure.

The entire battle, from the time he made his move to the end, lasted less than three breaths.

It is enough to see the gap between Qi training and foundation building.

Fu Changsheng waved his sleeves.

He put the bodies of Qiu Taiyun and his brother into the storage bag, put on an invisibility cloak, and instantly disappeared into Wutong Lane.

When he took action just now, he could clearly sense several spiritual senses passing by in the darkness, so he immediately decided to change his plan and did not go to the West Street stalls.

Instead, his body flashed several times.

When he was almost at the Yunkelai Inn, he took off his invisibility cloak, returned to his guest room, set up the magic circle he carried with him, and then took out the two storage bags from his bag.

The storage bag was also stained with the blood of the Qiu Taifeng brothers.

According to intelligence tips.

The Qiu Taifeng brothers came down the mountain to purchase supplies for the Qiu family.

Fu Changsheng was a little more expectant.

He remembered that in addition to the deceased ancestor Qiu and many other late-stage Qi training cultivators, the Qiu family also had five Qi training ninth-level cultivators, including the family head. This was considered a good fighting force among Qi training families, and it also showed from a certain perspective that the Qiu family had a good foundation.

A spell was cast.

A red light suddenly flashed in Qiu Taiyun's storage bag.

Take a closer look.

However, he saw that most of the items in Qiu Taiyun's storage bag were actually red women's robes, and the size of the clothes was actually the same as Qiu Taiyun's height:

"This"

Fu Changsheng was a little dumbfounded.

He heard that some young men from wealthy families were homosexual.

But this is the first time I've heard of someone having a fetish for dressing as a woman.

Except these clothes.

There was also a Yin Ring, a quasi-second-tier magical weapon, in addition to several bottles of first-tier top-grade elixirs for healing and restoring mana, and more than a hundred low-grade spirit stones scattered around.

Obviously.

The heavy responsibility fell on Qiu Taifeng:
"Don't let me down."

He directly exposed his foundation-building skills.

Then a spell was cast into the storage bag.

A flash of glow.

But I saw boxes appearing one after another. When the boxes were opened, neatly arranged spiritual stones came into view. After a careful count, there were nearly ten thousand of them:

"It really didn't disappoint me!"

Fu Changsheng was delighted.

With the blessing of these spiritual stones, the capital he needs to purchase the Cangming Stone should be enough.

Also.

The magical instruments and other items on the Qiu Taifeng brothers can be handed over to the clan’s storehouse. Now that they are in the foundation-building stage, they can no longer use these first-level spiritual items.

The thought just passed.

A familiar mechanical voice came from my mind:
"Ding!"
