Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 259 The storm is rising
"The provincial court specially appointed Yue Feng from Hancheng to serve as a worshiper in Chongming Market?" Sect Leader Kang stood upright in front of Fei Nan'ao. When he heard the latter's news, his face was slightly surprised.

Sima Fei was still calculating as usual. He smiled calmly and gestured for Kang Dabao to sit down. After the two pretty maids served the spiritual tea to Sima Gunjia and Kang Dazhang respectively, he spoke:
"It's nothing. We have been following the uncle for nearly sixty years and have done a lot of things. Thunder, lightning, rain and dew come naturally from above, so there is no need to worry about anything."

Kang Dabao didn't hear any resentment in Fei Sima's words, but he didn't believe it in his heart. He really had no opinion on Kuang Liuting's behavior.

After all, this Chongming Market has been the private land of the two Simas since its establishment.

The rent of the shops in the market town is only the apparent income, which may not be of much interest to the Sima Mansion; but nowadays, the purchase and negotiation of various spiritual objects by the provincial court accounts for at least 51% in the Chongming market town, so there is certainly a lot to be done here.

This part of the income is the bulk of the income. Even Kang Dabao can't figure out how much profit the two Simas make from it every year.

Nowadays, the dispute between the natives and the Hakkas in Yunjiao Prefecture is getting more and more intense. The Jingji Yuancong faction headed by Fei Sima has always had the upper hand from the beginning.
It was not until the Yue family of Hancheng took the life of the fake Dan of Liangyi Sect as a token of their loyalty that the local Tu people finally found a backbone and were able to compete with the Yuan followers of the capital.

But this time, the state court selected talents from the Yue family and sent them to the Sima Mansion's treasure pot. The deep meaning behind this is worth savoring.

"Don't worry, Gun Shilu will be able to form a fake elixir within half a year." Sima Fei put away his calculations. As an outsider talking about this matter, he seemed to be more confident than the real owner, Gun Jia Sima.

After giving Kang Dabao some reassurance, Fei Sima only reminded him:
"Yue Feng is not an easy person to deal with. Among the younger generation of the Yue family, apart from Yue Lan who is the war hall elder in Liangyi Sect, he is the most talented and most likely to take over the job of that old villain Yue Jing."

Seeing that Master Kang nodded in agreement, Sima Fei suddenly remembered something and said, "When you first became the county lieutenant, on your way back to your hometown from Wang County, you must have encountered a Foundation Establishment cultivator who tried to kill you, right?"

Kang Dabao thought of the knife flash that almost took his life, and a chill suddenly ran down his spine. He nodded and replied, "It is true. My nephew-in-law almost died at that time. It was Uncle Hei Lu who helped him and saved his life."

Fei Nan'ao could hear some resentment in Kang Dabao's tone, but he didn't care much and continued in a calm voice: "When I chose you to be the son-in-law of the Fei family, I did think that you would be targeted by some people with ulterior motives when you return.

But I was short of available people at that time, and Gun Shilu and I were also unable to escape, so there was no one available to build the foundation. So I assigned the task of protecting you to Tie Liuyun.

But since you said that you were saved by Hei Lu, I am a little confused as to why the Tie Liu Yun Sect didn’t send anyone.”

Kang Dabao remained silent, but the fake Sima on the other end reminded him:
"Later, the Sima Mansion also sent people to investigate. The man who tried to kill you was called Yue Wen. He has not shown up in the past few years. I don't know if the Yue family deliberately hid him. But Yue Wen is Yue Feng's younger brother. You should be careful."

Fei Sima still didn't care much about Kang Dabao's reaction. After saying this, he continued, "You and Shu He are the same. Every time you come back, you have to deliberately stagger your time."

Seeing that Kang Dabao still kept his head down and said nothing, Fei Sima became a little unhappy: "How come even you have learned the style of those people who can't even get a fart out of their bodies even with three sticks?"

Seeing that Master Kang still didn't say anything, Fei Sima finally said, "This won't happen again!"

"From now on, I will follow your lead, sir! Only then will I live up to your kindness in cultivating me!" Kang Dabao seemed to be touched by these words and responded immediately.

Sima Fei never said anything after that, and Sect Leader Kang couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or not, so he had to listen to Sima Fei's instructions and stay for a family dinner.

There is no need to describe the delicacies on the table. They are so dazzling that even Master Kang is dazzled.

One of the dishes, fish and dragon soup, is said to have originated from the palace, and it originated from an anecdote that happened to Taizu of the David Dynasty in the open sea.

Back then, Emperor Taizu captured a fifth-level black-textured fish dragon, which was a descendant of the real Chi, and wanted to take it as the clan's spiritual beast.

The Xuanwen Yulong was so proud of his noble bloodline that he didn't know how to appreciate the honor. Instead, he mocked Taizu for having inferior bloodline, which made Taizu angry. He skinned the dragon alive on the spot and shared the flesh and blood with his generals.

The black fish and dragon fish roe were collected by the accompanying chef and fell into the Golden Scale Pond in the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Taizu extracted the true dragon blood from the hatched fish dragon descendants to use for bone and marrow cleansing of the royal family members; then the fish dragon descendants who had lost their true dragon blood were bred by the imperial palace chefs to become spiritual food ingredients exclusively for the royal family.

It was impossible for Sima Fei to eat the real descendants of fish and dragons at his family banquet, as they were a delicacy that even the distant clan members could hardly get. Even if one or two of them occasionally came out, Sima Fei, with his status in the Fei family, would probably not be able to get a single bite.

However, this fish and dragon soup is made with several kinds of second-level spirit fish and is carefully cooked according to the method of making authentic fish and dragon soup, which is quite rare.

Even though Master Kang has already established his foundation, he still feels that the spiritual power in his body has grown stronger.

He estimated that by the time he finished eating the fish and dragon soup in front of him, it would be equivalent to the fruits of his six months of hard training.

It is easy to imagine that even for a family like Sima Fei, such spiritual food is not something they can eat often. The weight of Master Kang before and after the foundation building is really incomparable.

Being able to enjoy fine wine and delicious food was only one of the things. Fei Shuhe's aunt, who was from the Yukun Han family, also condescended to come and meet him.

This beautiful middle-aged woman had a graceful demeanor, and although her tone was somewhat intimate when she spoke to Kang Dabao, she could not conceal the arrogance and aloofness that came from her inner disdain for people of humble origins.

But she seems to be treating everyone equally.

Not to mention that the great master Kang Da was a grassroots family whose ancestors had never even established a foundation, and people looked down on him at all, Kang Dabao could see clearly that even Gun Shilu, a young man who was about to become the master of fake elixirs, was nothing in the eyes of the noble lady of the Han family.

The family dinner was only halfway through when Mrs. Han got up and left on the pretext of something.

Sima Gunjia and Sect Leader Kang did not dare to express any opinions. Sima Fei did not care what they were thinking, but took the initiative to talk about the New Cloud Alliance.
"Although Shujian Sect has some momentum, its leader is old and useless; since the death of the leader of Zifeng Valley, the two families in the sect have been in turmoil; if the only descendant of Feiyue Shan Family dies in the foundation, there will be no one to take over;

As for the Hemu Dao, after the Black Shoe Daoist abandoned them, they actually hired a casual cultivator to serve as their worshiper. How short-sighted. Using the weak to control the strong is not something that mediocre people can do. From this point of view, his family will sooner or later end up being taken over by someone else. "

Sima Fei paused at this point and continued, "Normally, I shouldn't care about these trivial matters. But since it involves your family, I have to spend some time worrying about it. Why don't you think about it? If Chongmingzong is entangled with these despicable families for a long time, what future will he have?"

"My uncle-master has the same idea as you, sir. He also said the same thing. After my nephew and I have re-determined the share of the spirit stone veins with each family, after the twenty years are up, the alliance among the families can be relaxed." Kang Dabao straightened his clothes and said seriously.

Fei Sima drank the tea in the cup and said in a more serious tone:

"Well, your Hei Lu has good eyesight. But in the current Yunjiao Province, it is not easy to be a free and easy immortal.

You will take this back with him: 'The later you sit down, the thinner the fat will be.'

If he has thought it through and is willing to serve the state court, I can advise you, Master, that after he has achieved the Dan Formation, you may ask Yuanying Zhenren to accept him as your disciple."

Seeing Kang Dabao suddenly startled, Sima Fei added fuel to the fire: "Don't limit yourself to the royal family."

After these words were spoken, the look of shock on the face of Master Kang became even more intense.

Sima Gunjia, who had been calm and composed, also said: "Many things in David's Immortal Dynasty are not as simple as you think. If the Immortal Dynasty is really like it appears, with only three real people in the world, then..."

Fei Sima stopped him halfway through his words with his eyes, and then said, "Just tell Hei Lu what you want to say. Let's eat."

After hearing this, Kang Dabao felt that the delicacies on the table had lost some of their flavor. He began to wonder in his heart, "The Taoist has already reached the foundation-building stage, why is he still a messenger?"

However, Master Kang was a kind-hearted person. He thought that he could not even drink tea at Sima Fei's place before, but this time he could have a meal. Given time, he might be able to
So even though this sumptuous family dinner was tasteless, Kang Dabao still returned home happily with a full stomach of inspiration.

On the way back, because the servants of the Fei family fed the old golden-haired donkey two high-quality spirit-feeding pills while he was waiting in the stable, the donkey's steps were much more vigorous than when he came.

Now it has broken through to the first-class upper grade, becoming the highest-grade spiritual beast in Chongming Sect. Perhaps because it was castrated by the head of the sect, Kang Da, the golden-haired old donkey is not only fat and strong, but also has a much larger skeleton.

In terms of physique, the golden-haired old donkey was no less powerful than the black-blooded colt that Kang Dabao had seized from Zhao Gu, the head of the ghost horse. In addition, after taking the unknown elixir, his fire-breathing skill became even more powerful.

In this way, even disciples like Duan Anle and He Yuanbing who are the most outstanding in fighting skills in the sect would find it difficult to subdue this old donkey without using all their skills.

Master Kang had never thought that the man-eating donkey that he had captured and tied up in the gate as food would have such good fortune.

Judging from this, this old donkey might have a chance of advancing to the second level, and is more worthy of cultivation than most disciples.

Today, Kang Dabao is no longer the unknown man he used to be. As soon as he came out of the Fei family's house and stepped onto the street of Xuanwei City, several relatives and friends came to greet him.

Most of them were sent by large families that had just moved from the capital area. Don't think that they could be called fellow villagers with Sima Fei and Sima Gunjia.

In fact, his family background was very low, and it was difficult for him to have any relationship with the two Simas.

It is true that Master Kang, who has achieved the Ice Leaf Foundation, is just a junior in the eyes of big figures like Heilu Taoist, Fei Nan'an, and Tie Liuyun; but in the eyes of these newly arrived foundation-building clans, he is a newcomer worthy of making friends, so if they get the chance, they will naturally try their best to make friends with him.

Some families have even done their homework and always have some pretty young widows at home.
But Kang Dabao, who had just been beaten by Sima Fei, did not have the energy to do so. He politely rejected all the followers sent by the foundation-building masters one by one, and said something like "I will visit you another day".

However, because of this incident, the depressed mood of Master Kangda improved a lot.

Riding on the golden donkey again on the streets of Xuanwei City, it was still crowded and bustling like before, but Master Kang suddenly felt that things had changed.

He suddenly recalled the time when he brought the entire sect, riding on a donkey cart pulled by an old golden-haired donkey, to the city to buy a flying sword for Jiang Qing.

That year, the head of Kangda had never thought that one day he would be able to strip the pretty deacon of the Illusion Sword League who refused to give up a single spirit stone, press her under his body, and even force her to bear children for him.

I never thought that one day I would be a guest of honor at the top portal in this city;

I never thought that one day I would be able to build my foundation twice;

I never thought that one day Yun Dao would appear.
When Kang Dabao was halfway through his journey, he saw Master Qi's weapon refining shop again. Due to the reputation of the number one female cultivator in Yunjiaozhou, the business here was still good.

Qi Duoluo, who was guarding the shop, still looked drunk and spoiled. Seeing someone lingering outside the door, he subconsciously put on a smile to invite him in.

Halfway through the walk, Qi Duoluo's eyes finally became clear from the chaos, and when he suddenly saw the man in front of him, he opened his clever mouth, but stuttered so much that he couldn't utter a complete sentence, which was unusual.

The smile on his face was only halfway through when it froze again. He raised his hand to take the honeysuckle flower pieces and then put it back again, in a dilemma. After a while, he swallowed a few saliva, hunched his body like a dried shrimp, and stammered, "Senior Kang Kang."

Seeing Qi Duoluo's look, Kang Dabao did not feel proud at all, but just smiled and said, "Brother, how are you?"

The tone was friendly and natural, just as before.

"I dare not!" Qi Duoluo learned the news that Master Kang had achieved the foundation-building stage today. He was also there when Master Qi came to congratulate him last time.

At that time, he was like a shy child, hiding behind his father tightly, not daring to look up, for fear that the embarrassment on his face would be seen by others.

"Ha, you and I are brothers, let's not talk about this. I'm busy today and can't go to visit Master Qi. Please, brother, convey my greetings to him." Kang Dabao tapped the old donkey with his heel and bowed to say goodbye.

Seeing the departing figure of Master Kang, Qi Duoluo sighed deeply, feeling that the cocktail party he had been looking forward to for a long time tonight suddenly became boring.

"How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? The Kunpeng laughs at the words of a cuckoo. Is it wrong? It is wrong!"

----

In Baisha County, Jingnan Prefecture, in the newly built hall of the headmaster of Changning Sect, seven or eight foundation-building monks sat together, but no one spoke for a long time.

The first leader elected by the three families came from the Zhenling Sect and was called Dai Fu.

The reason why he was elected was because he had the highest cultivation level, had been immersed in the late stage of foundation building for many years, and had a second-level top-grade Snow Feather Night Owl by his side. In terms of cultivation ability, he was second to none in the newly established Changning Sect's foundation building.
The second reason is that he is the oldest and has only formed the Qingye Dao foundation, making it almost impossible for him to make fake elixirs. He will not be able to sit on the position of the head of the sect for too long, so it is convenient for each family to replace him.

In fact, the so-called Changning Sect was nothing more than a few defeated dogs that had lost their sacred land, and was put together by Jiang Yuan, the leader of Heisha Peak of Liangyi Sect, for his own personal purposes.

It seems that the Zhenling Sect and the Chang County Lin Family were once in the Qingyun League and served the Liangyi Sect.

However, after the battle of Xiaowu Mountain, the four original families of Qingyun League were defeated by the troops led by Sima Fei, and their lineage of law was cut off; Qiaogongbao was persuaded to surrender by the state court and changed its affiliation;

The Zhenling Sect and the Lin Family of Chang County suffered heavy losses. They had no means to resist the state government's army, so they could only leave their homes and flee to other counties to live.

The Qingyun League has been completely destroyed since then. The Zhenling Sect and the Changxian Lin Family followed Jiang Yuan's orders and got involved with the Fengzhou Ge Family, a notorious unscrupulous family.

But the three families had different ideas. Right from the start, there were many disputes and troubles, which was very tiring. Therefore, Dai Fu felt it was boring to be the head of the sect.

It was obvious that relying on the strength of the Zhenling Sect, it would not be difficult to regain the first or second level spiritual land as long as they made careful plans. However, no one dared to disobey Jiang Yuan, so they could only be tied up and used as knives by him.

"Ahem." The place was very quiet, but it was still Dai Fu, the head of the sect, who broke the deadlock: "Elder Chen, the noise you made when you went to Chongming Market last time was a bit too much. According to Jiang Fengzheng's opinion, our Changning Sect is newly established, so we shouldn't cause any trouble."

"Yes!" Chen Ye replied solemnly, without showing any rebelliousness. The foundation-building cultivators present did not dare to underestimate him when they saw him like this.

This was a ruthless man who used his Qi training body to kill those who had established their foundation in formation. Even Dai Fu, who had been building his foundation for many years, was still cautious when he saw Chen Ye.

Seeing Chen Ye respectfully accepting the order, Dai Fu was a little surprised, and then he said, "Well, let's discuss the next matter. Song Fengqin sent a letter ten days ago, saying that several families in the New Cloud Alliance have been making a lot of moves recently and want us to do something."

"Then send out the troops and slaughter the Chongming Sect first!" As soon as Dai Fu finished speaking, a foundation-building cultivator from the Zhenling Sect responded. A foundation-building cultivator from the Lin family in Chang County thought that the two families had a common cause with the Chongming Sect, but was stopped by someone beside him.

Dai Fu also frowned. These people might have sold their brains. Wouldn't it be better to do something easy to do and deal with their superiors?
If we really have to confront the Chongming Sect, who would be willing to face the flying sword of the Black-shoe Taoist that even Fei Nanying praised?
Did he really think of himself as a pawn of Liangyi Sect? Since the establishment of Changning Sect, how many spirit stones has Black Sand Peak allocated to it?
"Among the various clans in the New Cloud Alliance, the Shujian Clan is large and powerful, the Shan Clan is tight and sharp, and the Chongming Clan is small but refined. None of them can be easily defeated. The Hemu Dao is too weak to be defeated. Even if we destroy it, Senior Brother Song may not be satisfied."

When Chen Ye said this, a sharp light appeared in his eyes: "Only the internal turmoil in Zifeng Valley has not yet subsided. We may give it a try."
