Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 357: Death of an Old Friend
"Your family has been lucky lately." Ever since Fei Dongwen, the patriarch of the Fei family, left Yunjiaozhou, Fei Nan'ao has resumed his habit of thinking about the abacus before talking to others.

The jade calculators collided with each other, making a particularly crisp sound. Kang Dabao took a sip of the spiritual tea and replied in a low voice, "It was just luck. It's all thanks to the blessing of the Taoist Ancestor."

"Luck is unpredictable, so what if you are lucky? Your family has been in decline for many years, and it is normal for it to be your turn to rise suddenly. This was always the case before the rise of new families. Even in the next few years, if your family produces two or three foundation-building cultivators, it will not be surprising in my opinion."

Fei Nan'an did not stop his movements, and glanced at Kang Dabao imperceptibly before continuing:
"It doesn't matter if you take bigger steps in the future. You performed well in the play that was staged by the old Dongwen Zong. Even though there are still many elites in the hall who are still in the Yingzhou clan, your method can't be said to be bad.

Now, no gossiper in the Fei family's Sheshan Hall dares to say a word. I think that even if you want to borrow someone from the Fei family to serve Chongmingzong in the future by relying on your status as the legitimate son-in-law, you can do it. "

Kang Dabao bowed his head to show his humility and said nothing more.

"I see that the situation in Yunjiaozhou is getting more and more turbid. Go back and prepare yourself well, practice your inner strength diligently, and make your wooden fence more solid. Also, if things go wrong in the future, don't force yourself. Go back to Yingzhou with Ansheng and Shuhe. It's safe there."

Fei Nanying stopped calculating, and the hall suddenly became quiet. He saw the surprised look in Kang Dabao's eyes, and without explaining, he continued:
"I am about to go into seclusion to form the elixir. Before I go into seclusion, I will tell Grandma Liu that if there are things that the Fei family needs you for, she will call you to talk. Don't worry, she just looks down on you, but you are someone who can risk her life for Shu He and the Fei family.

Just because you are the legitimate son-in-law of the Fei family, she will do her best to protect your life. In the Fei family, except for me, no one is more trustworthy than her."

"Then the nephew-in-law would like to congratulate Bo Yue in advance!" Kang Dabao suppressed his suspicions and congratulated loudly first.

"Well, I appreciate your good words." Fei Nan'an responded indifferently, put away the abacus, waved his hand to call Kang Dabao out of the study, entered the flower garden, and whispered: "Before leaving Yunjiaozhou, the elder asked me about your uncle Hei Lu. But he couldn't leave his family, so he left in a hurry after meeting the uncle."

"My Uncle Black Shoes?!" Kang Dabao exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, after all, it is the Golden Leaf Dao Base, which is extremely rare even in Gyeonggi Province." Fei Nan'ao said softly again.

"You are a smart person, so I won't bother to lie to you. Because of your relationship with Shu He, Hei Lu and I can be considered half-relatives.

If he doesn't want to rely on the Immortal Dynasty or join a big clan in the future, he might as well go to my Fei family's land and take a look. There will definitely be less trouble for him there."

"This is plain and simple, they don't even want to draw a picture?" Kang Dabao was just complaining when he heard Fei Nan'an continue, "The old man of Dong Wen Sect didn't say anything else, he just said that if Hei Lu is willing to go, he can ask the old ancestor Ye Ling to guarantee him a future of golden elixir."

Feinan paused here, his tone revealing some complex meaning: "If one spiritual object is not enough, then two. If two spiritual objects are not enough, then three. As long as you are willing to go, it's fine."

"Yes, I will tell my uncle everything." Kang Dabao was so shocked by his arrogance that he quickly took back what he had said before, and responded respectfully with a happy look on his face.

"And your third junior brother, has he not married yet?" A smile appeared on Fei Nan's face again.

".Well, to be honest with Bo Yue, it seems that Gun Yuyao, the female official in charge of the Shangqin Palace, has some feelings for my junior brother." Kang Dabao was stunned for a moment, pretending to be embarrassed, and spoke.

"That girl Yuyao? She's a good match. She's not bad at all. Anyway, my Sheshan Hall doesn't have a legitimate daughter to marry at the moment, so we won't compete with the Anshan Gun family for a son-in-law." Fei Nan'an nodded, and his words were obviously not as serious as when he talked about the Black Shoe Taoist before.

"The Yuan family in southern Jing is a disaster. The fake Dan of the Zheng family is no match for Yuan Buwen. The state court was in a big commotion some time ago. If the Yuan family really occupies Baisha County and invades the border, Yue Jing may not help them again.

Now that you have captured the daughter of the Yuan family, you must be careful of that old thief who enters Yunjiaozhou and takes risks. "

"Could Bo Yue be asked to mediate this matter?" Kang Dabao frowned as he thought of this troublesome matter.

"You have already stripped the legitimate daughter and pressed her down, what can I use to make peace?!" Fei Nan'an said this in a calm tone, which made the head of Kang Da blush. The latter was stunned for a long time, and could only stammer: "Bo Yue, please understand, this matter is not about nephew and son-in-law."

However, Fei Sima was not interested in listening to the explanation of this "shameless" man, and just continued:
"I have no friendship with Yuan Buwen, otherwise he would not have bullied the Yunwei Zheng family to such an extent. But since the daughter of the Yuan family is still in your hands, I think he has not yet figured out how to deal with your family. You don't have to worry too much. Gun Shilu may go to the Zheng family in the near future, and you will cooperate with him at that time."

Seeing that Master Kang was hesitant after listening to his words, Fernando scolded him angrily: "Just gather more minnows and crabs to make up the numbers. I didn't ask you to send your own people to risk their lives!"

After hearing this, the latter's expression improved. He couldn't bear to part with those bottles, jars and treasures in the sect.

Having talked about the serious business, Fernando was in no mood to chat with Kang Dabao.

The relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law in all the heavens and worlds is extremely delicate, with almost no exceptions.

After a silence like this, the two of them walked around the small garden uncomfortably for five times. Finally, Fernando suddenly asked, "When are you going to leave?"

Kang Dabao didn't know if Fei Nan'an was trying to get rid of him. He thought about it carefully before saying, "When Shu He's state of mind is more stable, nephew-in-law can go back."

Fei Nan'an frowned and continued, "The food and materials needed for building the foundation are all here, so you don't have to worry about Shu He. There are a lot of things to do recently, so go back early. When Shu He's realm is stable, Nanny Sun will send her back. But don't forget what I told you."

Kang Dabao felt as if he had been pardoned. He was about to leave the garden where the atmosphere was extremely depressing, but was stopped by Fei Nan'ao.

"What else does Bo Yue want?" Kang Dabao asked in surprise.

"The elder Dong Wenzong said that since you, the son-in-law of the Kang family, hid his four purple jade bamboo sticks, you owe him a favor, and you will have to repay it in the future." Fei Nanying found it funny to see Kang Dabao's face gradually becoming ugly.

"You dare to take anything, it's time to teach you a lesson!"

----

"I've made another losing business!" Even though he knew that a great Jindan cultivator would not really be in a hurry to ask him for a favor, Master Kang still did not want to get involved in this cause and effect.

"How can these four purple jade bamboo sticks, which can be used to refine top-grade magic tools, be worth this price?"

After returning to the room in a depressed mood, Kang Dabao staged a reluctant farewell scene with Fei Shuhe, who had just established his foundation.

But the beauty was so kind that she couldn't bear to leave her lover. So the head of Kangda had no choice but to do it reluctantly, and closed the door and worked for a long time.

After a period of sexual pleasure, the young lady of the Fei family, who had just established her foundation and was blindly confident, was pushed and shoved by the lady who begged for mercy, and left the Fei family with a feeling of unfulfilled desire.

Before leaving, Kang Dabao went to pay a visit to Yin Shangong again. However, the old man was stubborn, with a trace of deathly aura on his body still not dissipated. It was obvious that he really did not take the longevity pill that the Black Shoe Taoist asked Kang Dazhang to bring.

Kang Dabao knew that he could not persuade him, so he said goodbye and left, determined to tell the Taoist Hei Lu about this matter and make a decision. However, Qin Sufu still had not returned from Hancheng, and it was a pity that he could not meet him this time.

After taking the moon fern cultivation method improved by Chu Yanran from Qi's house, Sect Leader Kang headed towards Chongming Sect without stopping.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the foot of Xiaohuan Mountain, he saw a sturdy man with a bright eye, smiling and bowing to him.

"Welcome Master."

"Ha, you scared me. At first I thought it was Yuan Buwen who was blocking me! Old Ye, I knew that you, a scourge, would have a long life."

"It was just luck, thanks to Wanjun." The melancholy on Ye Zhengwen's face flashed away, and he said lightly:
"I just came out of retreat, and I heard that some people have been quite restless these days. They went to Guanshan Cave Mansion and stole two more furnaces and tripods. Master Kang, you are not wronged to be called a 'bullying woman'."

"Bullshit," Kang Dabao cursed with a smile. When he saw Ye Zhengwen again, he felt that the aura of decadence lingering on the latter had dissipated.

From this, it was easy to guess that after his old friend had established his foundation, his knot in his heart had been resolved and he was reborn, so he was happy. Then he laughed and said, "How could you be willing to come out to greet me?"

"I went to talk to Wanjun, and thought you would come back as well." Ye Zhengwen said briefly, waiting for Kang Dabao to catch up before turning around and walking side by side with him. "I told Wanjun that I had already established my foundation, and she was right. I also told her that a ruined leader had been acting rather dissolutely recently, and she was right."

Kang Dabao was stunned for a moment, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "You are such a jerk."

The two of them returned to the sect in a lively manner, and Duan Anle came over to pay his respects immediately. The Chongming Bell rang three times in a row, and all the disciples who were in the sect and served as part-time officials also gathered and paid their respects to the sect leader and the newly promoted foundation builders one by one.

"Big Brother, since Senior Brother Ye is building his foundation this time, maybe we can hold another foundation-building ceremony." Yuan Jin stepped forward to give advice, and many people in the room agreed with him.

Sect Leader Kang thought about it and nodded. It has been a long time since he last had a good time gathering with the families and sects under his jurisdiction. So he might as well take this opportunity. It is a good time.

Also, if the higher-ups really want Kang Dabao to go to Baisha County to help the Zheng family in the future, he will need to understand the foundation of these forces under his jurisdiction to be able to put together a team that can fight and kill in a short period of time.

Sect Leader Kang pondered for a while before speaking: "Well, Junior Brother Zhou and Anle should discuss this matter carefully. Don't be too extravagant."

Zhou Yixiu and Duan Anle, the uncle and nephew, understood clearly what Kang Da meant by "not losing money, just to accept gifts" without even thinking about it.

He Wanying in the hall was a smart person who was good at understanding people's minds. Knowing that Kang Dabao was in a good mood today, she also came out to show her face.

The latter knew that his junior sister wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about Feng Wan's news, but he was not angry.

Now He Wanying has taken up the job of an instructor in talisman art enlightenment in Baiyi Building, but she actually spends most of her time practicing hard.

After all, she is the only blood left by the old master He. As long as Kang Dabao, the master who has the final say, is in office, the Chongming Sect will never lack her resources for cultivation.

The reason why she works so hard is not because she has changed her personality, but because she wants to be with her lover as soon as possible.

Feng Guan has also done very well in his position as the county lieutenant of Jin County recently. His score in the evaluation set by Kangda County Master was "excellent", leaving his superiors far behind.

After all, the head of the Kang sect had already transformed Yuan Xiyue, the covetous hunter, into a prey, so it was not impossible for Feng Wan to return to the sect and reunite with his junior sister. After all, the Chongming sect was now wealthy and could afford to support a useless spiritual root cultivator.

However, Kang Dabao rarely saw He Wanying being so hardworking in these years. After thinking about it, he gave up the idea of ​​letting Feng Wan come back.

"Or let's wait until Wanying has built her foundation." Master Kang said silently in his heart and said no more.

Now, except for the children in Yulin Hall, there is hardly any idle person in Chongming Sect, and everyone is busy. Therefore, after arranging things, Kang Dabao will not keep any more of his own children.

After everyone left, Pei Yi and Yuan Jin listened to Ye Zhengwen talk about his experience in building the foundation, while Sect Leader Kang naturally took Zhou Yixiu and Kang Rongquan with him, and handed them the method of cultivating moon ferns that he had obtained from Chu Yanran with great difficulty, as well as the notes of the second-level top-grade master.

"So this is what the second-level living creature method is like. I wasted my whole life and only saw the true meaning before I died. How... How ridiculous!" After reading it for a long while, Zhou Yixiu beat his feet and stamped his chest, sighing.

Kang Rongquan's aptitude as a master of farming was indeed quite good. According to Zhou Yixiu, he was only one step away from becoming a top-grade master of farming. As long as he took that step, the only thing he lacked compared to Zhou Yixiu would be his experience.

Therefore, reading the letter which still exuded the fragrance of orchid did not seem difficult for him, but he enjoyed it very much.

"Brother, if you cultivate it according to this method, maybe you can grow the Living Moon Fern?" As it was related to the further advancement of the Golden Eyes that could Break Delusion, Master Kang showed a rare look of anxiety on his face.

Zhou Yixiu buried his head in thought for a while, and when he looked up again, there was a hint of sharpness in his cloudy eyes, and he said bluntly: "I should have some confidence."

Kang Dabao couldn't hide his joy after hearing this, because Zhou Yixiu, the junior fellow apprentice, was a steady man who never made final statements. Now hearing his tone, Kang Dazhang knew that he had made up his mind.

The fact that Master Kang accepted Zhou Yixiu as his disciple is a testament to his outstanding vision. Master Jia, who knows the master's ins and outs and has profound attainments, is a rare commodity.

Not to mention that since Zhou Yixiu joined the Chongming Sect and no longer had to worry about making a living, his life had settled down and his attainments as a farmer had improved by leaps and bounds over the years.

If he were a little younger, it would not be impossible for him to become the first second-level farmer in the history of Chongming Sect during his lifetime.

It's a pity that Zhou Yixiu died too old, which means he has no future. Now the hope of Chongmingzong still lies on young people like Kang Rongquan.

"The cultivation of the younger generation seems to be still a little slow!" Master Kang thought as he looked at Kang Rongquan, who was only 24 years old but had already practiced Qi to 80%.

I think so, but I can't do anything about it. This is indeed something that cannot be rushed. Cultivation must go through thousands of trials and tribulations before it can become your own. It is absolutely not advisable to use harsh drugs or force things to grow.

Fortunately, the qualifications of the disciples accepted by Chongming Sect in recent years are all good. As long as a few years pass, there will be a surge of talents.

While the three were still discussing, Kang Dabao received two tokens of trust from the Shan and He families respectively.

The characters on the two letters were of different lengths and in completely different handwritings, but they both said the same thing: "Shan Sheng is dead!"
