Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 372 Nanyi Pill Formation
The scene became quiet for a moment, with only the sound of the wind.

Being watched by a tyrannical fake pill master for such a long time was not a pleasant thing. Kang Dabao endured it for a long time, and finally spoke first to break the deadlock: "Senior, the death of Brother Yuan Feng was indeed nothing to do with me."

When he said this, his face was open and sincere.

Yuan Buwen did not respond to Kang Dabao's words. It was unclear whether he had believed it or did not care at all. He just stopped and put his hands behind his back: "In a few years, the abbot of the temple will return to Yunjiaozhou. Are you afraid?"

Although Yuan Buwen did not say anything, Kang Dabao still smiled faintly. His expression was submissive, his posture was humble, and his tone was respectful: "I think there are still twenty years left."

"Aren't you afraid?" Yuan Buwen was a little surprised. This Kang Dabao was a little different from the cautious and careful leader of a small sect in his impression.

"Senior, twenty years ago, I was not worthy of your attention." Kang Dabao replied calmly, his face calm, which made Yuan Buwen look at him carefully for a while before saying, "You are indeed a little different from the rumors."

After he finished speaking, he turned his back to the head of Kang family and said something intriguing: "My Xiyue, I'm afraid she was bullied a little too badly by the daughter of Fei family, right?"

Kang Dabao had obviously thought about how to answer, and he half bowed and said, "Although my wife is a little arrogant, she is also a kind-hearted person, and she will definitely not do such a thing. Xiyue will definitely not stand being wronged in Chongming Sect, and except for the title of the eldest wife, I can give her everything."

As soon as Kang Dabao finished speaking, a smile finally appeared on Yuan Buwen's face, which had been cold for a long time.

But the former couldn't tell whether the Yuan family ancestor was happy or angry at this moment. He only heard Yuan Buwen say coldly: "You are smart, kid. If you dare to say something like 'put Xiyue and the daughter of the Fei family on the same level' to coax me, you will lose your head now."

Master Kang was still respectful and more humble than ever, but there was no trace of panic on his face. He had the bearing of someone who would not change his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him or would not blink even if a deer appeared on his left. Yuan Buwen could not help but look at him with higher regard.

He didn't know that because of the luck Qingyan saved his life, Master Kang was really not afraid at this moment. He just thought that the latter was outstanding and a rare hero.

"This boy is calm in the face of difficulties, which is quite good. He is also a Ice Leaf Foundation, and his life span is less than 60 years. In the future, he will at least be a fake Dan. Since he can extract the true meaning of "Mufu Xingjun Zhijilang's Military Strategy" from Feng'er's understanding, his strength will not be much worse than mine. However, this method of suppressing the clan cannot be easily obtained by him.
I see that his cultivation is only at the middle stage of foundation building, but he is able to kill Yue Fu in battle formation, and he may have a 30% chance of forming a genuine golden elixir in the future. Speaking of which, although Feng'er has good aptitude, his character is not good, and it is difficult for him to perfect the theory of elixir, so the probability of forming an elixir may not be higher than this kid's."

After Yuan Buwen figured this out, he felt a lot more comfortable.

When Yuan Xiyue was chosen by the abbot of Benying Temple as a candidate for the Mingfei, he did not feel happy at all, nor did he have any interest in her serving the Mingwang and achieving the golden elixir.

What Mingfei and Tianfei, they just sound nice. Who doesn't know that the snowy mountains are full of devil kings who eat people without leaving any bones?
Even if Yuan Xiyue really relied on practicing the way of the Buddha Mother Mingfei and won the favor of the temple guardian abbot, and became a golden elixir cultivator, in the eyes of those beings, she was just another slut who could be trained, how could she be honored at all? How much help could she provide to the Jingnan Yuan family?

If this path wasn't so unreliable, Yuan Feng would not have gotten the tacit approval of the Yuan family's ancestor when he went against human ethics and wanted to take Yuan Xiyue's energy to form his elixir.

There won't be another Jindan in the Yuan family in the short term, so having a Jindan son-in-law is not bad, even if he is only a half-Jindan son-in-law, it is still good.

Since he had said what he needed to say and heard what he wanted to hear, he didn't want to say anything more to Kang Dabao. He just left a message to Kang Dazhang: "After you go back, tell Zhu Tong to be quiet for a while and don't bother him."

The latter bowed his head in agreement, and Yuan Buwen retreated calmly.

For a moment, the only sound in the venue was the wind.

——Laoniushan

"What does Yuan Buwen mean by this?!" Zhu Tong frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Gun Shilu and Sixth Grandma also looked unhappy. The three of them discussed for a long time and all they could say was to wait and see what happens and come up with a solution later.

For the state court, it would not be a bad thing to do as Yuan Buwen said. After all, they have been in a situation where they can only passively take the beating for some time.

You have to know that the two fake Dans that Liangyi Sect gave to the Yuan family did not move most of the time. But even so, they could not do anything to Yuan Buwen alone. What was the point of taking the initiative to provoke a war?
It was just that Yuan Buwen's words were too arrogant and harsh, making everyone feel embarrassed. But after all, his face had been slapped, and he knew that he couldn't return the slap. In the end, a cultivator should speak with his ability.

The three of them left with a lot of anger in their stomachs. Kang Dabao, who had left to reply, was taken back by Grandma Liu, and the two of them entered the Fei family's tent together.

The old woman still did not have a good expression when facing the head of the Kang family at this time, but after seeing Kang Dabao, several Fei family practitioners did not show any arrogance. They straightened their clothes and expressions and stepped forward to pay their respects.

The title of the champion of the Sheshan Hall competition might not be worth much, but the head of the foundation-building person of the Liangyi Sect mentioned by Kang Dabao before was extremely valuable.

So far, among the many cultivators of the Fei family, only Granny Six has achieved such an achievement as killing a late-stage cultivator of the Liangyi Sect in a battle array.

Sixth Granny glanced at Kang Dabao and continued, "In the tent earlier, I felt that you had a lot to say but didn't. Now there is no one else in the tent, so just tell me what you think of Yuan Buwen's words, and no one will blame you."

"Grandma, Yuan Buwen may not want to follow the Liangyi Sect wholeheartedly."

As soon as the head of the sect Kang said this, it aroused the interest of the Yuan family monks, including the Sixth Granny. The old woman raised her eyebrows and acted as a supporting role for the former, and asked in a suspicious voice, "What do you mean?"

"Yuan Xiyue is not the crux of the problem." Kang Dabao said with a firm tone and full of confidence.

The Sixth Granny had of course heard of the name "Yuan Xiyue". She saw that many of the Fei family's younger generations in the room were envious to varying degrees, and her dissatisfaction grew even stronger, and her tone became even more negative: "What is that?"

“Before that, I thought Yuan Buwen came for Yuan Xiyue in my hand, and that he was unwilling to give up this Mingfei candidate appointed by the temple protector.

But today, I met Yuan Buwen in person and talked with him for a while, and I know that Yuan Xiyue is just a title, a title that Liangyi Sect wants Yuan Buwen to help them destroy Yunwei Zheng family. "

The old woman thought for a while, nodded slowly, and continued, "That's right. Liangyi Sect may not trust the Yuan family in Jingnan, otherwise they wouldn't have sent two supervisors to Yuan Buwen."

Kang Dabao knew that the old woman was talking about the two fake pill masters sent by Liangyi Sect to Jingnan, so he said, "If Liangyi Sect really wanted to intervene, they should have sent a few more fake pill masters here. We would have been defeated and returned to Pingrong County long ago, and would not have been able to hold on until this moment."

This was a bit offensive, and Granny Six was even more unhappy, but she had no way to refute it, so she just said in a muffled voice: "What do you mean?"

Kang Dabao spoke up at the right time and said, "The Liangyi Sect hates the state court, and they may not like the Yuan family. The Yuan family dominates the state alone, but they have been cultivating in Jingnan for too long."

The Sixth Granny obviously disagreed with Kang Dabao's reasoning. She shook her head and continued, "At this juncture, the senior cultivators of the Liangyi Sect would not be so unwise. It's just a Jingnan Prefecture. They wouldn't do this with their vision."

The head of the Kang family did not refute it. After all, what the old woman said was not necessarily wrong. But the Sixth Granny said, "However, Yuan Buwen should be like you thought. He really wants to surrender to the state court. But he is so hesitant and unwilling to do so. He probably wants to sit on the sidelines and watch."

The old woman paused when she said this, and she stared into Kang Dabao's eyes before she continued to read out the rest of the words: "This kind of people are the most despicable."

"Great-aunt is right." Kang Dabao's pupils shrank slightly, but his expression did not change as he responded respectfully.

Seeing Kang Dabao's slightly surprised reaction, Sixth Granny ignored him and said, "You can see that even the officials from the state court who came to Yunjiaozhou from Gyeonggi Province cannot be generalized."

The old woman's words were cryptic, but Kang Dabao understood what she meant. In fact, during the short time he had been in the Jingnan camp, it was not difficult for him to realize that the Fei family and Gun Shilu were not of the same kind.

Gun Shilu was a rare loyal minister, and as such, he did not mind maintaining good relations with the Fei family in order to gain some benefits for his own clan.

Although the Fei family of Yingzhou is one of the most trusted powerful families of the Xian Dynasty royal family, it is not a vassal of Kuang Liuting.

The relationship between the two parties is more like a partnership rather than one of subordination.

The Fei family had placed a heavy bet on Kuang Liuting, a talented member of the royal family. Sheshan Hall was one of the few capitals visible to outsiders. It was unknown how much money had been spent to support Kuang Liuting's practice.

Judging from the current situation, the head of Kangda thinks this is a good deal. The Fei family should be able to get a lot of benefits in the future.

The civil service forces headed by Zhu Tong are different from the above two.

Starting from the cabinet in the capital, the relationship between officials like Gui Xiang who came from prominent families and the David clan was similar to cooperation.

The two sides clung to each other for warmth and used every possible means to maintain this huge empire that had not yet fallen apart. At the same time, the two sides were wary of each other and had a deep estrangement, which was really strange.

However, the atmosphere in the provincial court was unimportant. After all, the three parties had different ideas, but the same goal, which was to accomplish something in this remote place in order to gain the appreciation of the bigwigs.

Kang Dabao thought to himself, "After Nan'an Bo has achieved Dan, these things shouldn't be a problem anymore, right?!"

Seeing that Master Kang did not answer, Sixth Granny continued, this time she was much more concise: "Do a good job, and remember that you are the legitimate son-in-law of the Fei family. Also remember that in the future, no matter what the state court can give or cannot give, the Fei family can give it."

"I'll remember that, kid." Kang Dabao responded seriously.

"Go and take a rest. Be careful that Yuan Buwen may just be bluffing. There may be fighting in the next few days." The old woman said her last words and went back to her tent to practice.

As soon as the elders left, the Fei family practitioners in the scene lost their composure.

Fei Wen was considered an outlier among the Fei family, so he was the first one to come up and talk to the head of Kangda.

"The foundation-building warrior that Daoist brother killed earlier had a golden spear in his hand, which was very extraordinary. I wonder if it can be of use to you. If it is convenient, can you give it to me?"

"Golden Spear Spirit Weapon?"

This made Sect Leader Kang Dabao think for a long time before he finally remembered the golden spear spiritual weapon that Fei Wen had been longing for. It was all because the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building died too quickly, so quickly that Kang Dabao didn't have a deep impression of the spiritual weapon he used.

"This is it, right? Since you like it, just offer this price." Kang Dabao smiled and named a price, which was much lower than the price charged by many shops in the market.

Fei Wen was naturally overjoyed. People all said that Kang Dabao was a lucky guy who was good at thriftiness. Before he asked, he had never thought that he could get a bargain from such a person, so he immediately bought the Golden Spear magic weapon.

Kang Dabao was also quite happy to see him like this.

You have to know that Master Kang was born a businessman, so how could he do a business that would lose money?
Although Fei Wen was born in an ordinary family, in Kang Dabao's eyes, he was the most outstanding cultivator of the current generation of Fei Family Sheshan Hall. In this respect, even Fei Enhua, who had become an ice leaf, could not compare with him.

It is a good thing to make friends with such a person by only spending this little money.

The other Fei family cultivators all had their elders’ support and family subsidies, so they looked down on the small favors from Kang Da. However, Kang Dabao’s actions still earned him a lot of goodwill among the Fei family cultivators.

Many of them were quite interested in the top-grade spiritual spear weapon left by Yue Fu. This late-stage cultivator of the Liangyi Sect had used it to show off his prowess on the battlefield, which made many people jealous and they immediately quoted a price.

Kang Dabao's price this time was not as cheap as before, but it was fair enough, and finally Fei Nanhu bought it at a high price. This spiritual weapon was far inferior to his Fire Lord Seal, and Master Kang didn't know whether he kept it as a spare or prepared to give it away.

This business is difficult to stop once it starts. Kang Dabao has a lot of storage bags that need to be dealt with urgently. It's a good opportunity to take some out first while the wealthy people in the Fei family are around.

The Fei family's accounts suddenly became lively. Kang Dabao was not the only one doing business. It was easy for everyone to follow suit.

Under Kang Dabao's auspices, an internal exchange meeting was quickly held. The atmosphere gradually became lively, so lively that many Fei family cultivators forgot Kang Dabao's identity as an outsider.

After the barter meeting, there was a cocktail party.

Master Kang was also quite good at this. After a few drinks, he became brothers with Fei Wen, Fei Enxing and other simple-minded people, and they became very close.

But this joyful scene could not last long. Just as Sixth Granny said, after just two days, the Yuan family's attacking team was ready.

Seeing that another great war was about to begin, Sect Leader Kang had already inspected the troops of each family and gave instructions to all those who were building their foundation. However, a piece of news from Xuanwei City caused both sides to temporarily stop fighting.

The Yuan family withdrew from the entire Baisha County like a tide, leaving behind a vacuum zone. This scene had not been seen for one or two years.

It was not until after the Yuan family withdrew their troops that Kang Dabao learned the news from the smiling Sixth Granny:

"My Boyue, has formed a pill?!!!"
