I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 120 Trouble is coming
There are 1,280 Yuanyang fruit trees planted on Yuanyang Mountain, which is divided into four areas.

There are 320 trees in one area, evenly distributed in the four corners of Yuanyang Mountain: east, west and north.

Yuanyang Mountain itself is a hot place, and with the blessing of the Wenxian Sect's formation, the fire-attributed spiritual energy gathered between heaven and earth is very rich.

It is also beneficial for cultivators who practice fire-attributed techniques.

After Lai Yang took over Yuanyang Mountain, he spent a few days to understand the general situation of Yuanyang Mountain.

As long as the formation is operating normally, Yuanyang Mountain can harvest three hundred to one thousand Yuanyang fruits every month.

If you are lucky, you can earn tens of thousands of spirit stones a month.

But if you are unlucky, you may have to pay spirit stones to the sect.

In order to cope with the possible fiscal deficit, the previous elders of Yuanyang Mountain came up with the idea of ​​increasing revenue.

That is to take advantage of the extremely rich fire-attributed spiritual energy of Yuanyang Mountain and set up twelve cultivation formations on the territory of Yuanyang Mountain for people to use.

Of course, it's not free.

The least effective cultivation formation at the edge costs ten spirit stones per hour.

The several cultivation formations closest to the center of Yuanyang Mountain require a hundred spirit stones per hour, but they are open for a limited time.

After all, allowing others to absorb the fire-attributed spiritual energy of Yuanyang Mountain at will may affect the normal growth of the Yuanyang fruit trees, which would be putting the cart before the horse.

If you don't do it well, you won't get any benefits and may even be punished by the Wenxian Sect.

There is a fire-attributed vein buried underground in Yuanyang Mountain.

The Wenxian Sect set up a formation to continuously draw power from the earth's veins to nourish the Yuanyang fruit trees, thus ensuring the monthly output of the Yuanyang fruit trees.

Rather than saying that Lai Yang is guarding the medicinal fields here, it would be more accurate to say that he is guarding the underground vein of Yuanyang Mountain.

After figuring out everything, Lai Yang officially started working in the orchard.

He needs to check the maturity of the Yuan Yang Fruit every day, and then pick and seal the fully ripe Yuan Yang Fruit until he completes the sect's monthly quota.

Of course, these things can be accomplished with the help of the sect’s disciples.

One Yuanyang Fruit is worth a hundred spirit stones. Such a huge temptation is enough to make many ordinary disciples choose to take risks.

However, if one is caught stealing the rare materials and treasures from the sect's medicine fields, the lightest punishment would be to abolish one's cultivation and expel one from the sect, or in the worst case, to be killed on the spot, which is quite severe.

After the previous elder was transferred away by Elder Lan Qingxian, almost all of his disciples were taken away by him as well.

Now Lai Yang is the only one who manages the huge Yuanyang Mountain.

Lan Qingxian had previously said that there would be special disciples from the sect coming to Yuanyang Mountain to take care of the medicine fields, and he would only be responsible for guarding and looking after the fields. But where are those people?

Could it be that he was fooled?

Lai Yang sighed. Now that things had come to this, he could only rely on his own efforts.

As for manpower, he didn't even know what the Immortal Sect was like, so where could he find people to help take care of the medicine fields at this moment?

In this way, Lai Yang started living a leisurely pastoral life ahead of time.

With his current physical fitness and spiritual strength, it would not be difficult for him to manage all the Yuanyang fruit trees on Yuanyang Mountain by himself.

Lai Yang's spiritual sense can easily cover the entire Yuanyang Mountain, and he knows the conditions of every medicinal field on Yuanyang Mountain.

During this period, some disciples from the Wenxian Sect wanted to enter Yuanyang Mountain to practice using formations, and Lai Yang did not refuse.

You can easily earn dozens or even hundreds of spirit stones a day.

In this way, more than ten days passed by unknowingly.

Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan appeared in front of Lai Yang again.

At this moment, they seemed like different people. They wore the clothes of the direct disciples of the Wenxian Sect, and they had a bit more fairy air.

Appearing above Yuanyang Mountain, the moment Li Xiaonuan saw Lai Yang, an excited look appeared on her face. She immediately flew in front of him without hesitation, pounced on him and hugged him happily.

Lai Yang noticed the realm aura of Li Xiaonuan and was slightly startled. He asked in surprise, "Xiaonuan, have you established your foundation?"

"Yes, am I very awesome?" Li Xiaonuan looked up at Lai Yang, her big watery eyes flashing, as if saying, "Praise me quickly, praise me quickly."

Lai Yang subconsciously raised his hand and touched Li Xiaonuan's head, with a doting expression on his face, saying: "Well, very impressive, Xiaonuan is a genius."

"Hehe~" Li Xiaonuan smiled happily.

At this moment, Li Xiaowen also flew over, releasing the powerful aura of the Foundation Establishment Realm with a look of envy on his face. He stood beside Lai Yang and said, "Sir, look, I have also successfully established my foundation."

Lai Yang was slightly shocked. They had only been separated for more than ten days, and both of them had entered the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Is this the aptitude for cultivating immortals with ultimate spiritual roots? I'm so envious.

Even though Lai Yang had a system plug-in, it still took him three years to reach the foundation-building stage. Comparing yourself to others will only make you feel depressed.

Lai Yang did not show favoritism. He put his other hand on Li Xiaowen's head and stroked it gently.

Li Xiaowen's face turned slightly red. She really liked this comfortable and secure feeling.

"How does it feel to be an immortal cultivator?" Lai Yang withdrew his hand and asked with a smile.

Hearing Lai Yang's words, Li Xiaonuan couldn't help but complain: "Practicing is so boring, but Master is a very good person and has given us a lot of things."

As he spoke, Li Xiaonuan took off the sword from his waist and handed it to Lai Yang, saying as if to show off: "Master said this is a top-grade spiritual weapon. This sword is so sharp that it can cut anything with ease."

A top-grade spiritual sword? Lai Yang was jealous.

Previously, he had fought tooth and nail in the True Dragon Secret Realm but had never been able to obtain a top-grade spiritual weapon, let alone a sword.

As expected, for those who are out there in the underworld, background is the most important thing. The weapons they use are top-grade spiritual weapons, which shows that Lan Qingxian really loves them.

Lai Yang took the sword from Li Xiaonuan's hand. The moment the sword was unsheathed, a terrifying sharp edge spread out, as if to cut off everything.

Lai Yang actually felt a slight tingling sensation on the surface of his skin.

Lai Yang did not pull out the sword completely, but put it back into the scabbard and returned it to Li Xiaonuan.

"This sword is very good. Be careful when using it next time and don't hurt yourself." Lai Yang reminded.

"Sir, if you like it, I'll give it to you." Li Xiaonuan said nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Lai Yang smiled and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch her face: "No, that won't do. This thing is too valuable. I can't accept it. This is given to you by your master. You must keep it well and can't give it away casually, otherwise your master will be angry."

"Master wouldn't be so stingy." Li Xiaonuan pouted.

"Sir, are you the only one here? Where are the others?" Li Xiaowen suddenly interrupted.

"Well, I'm the only one in Yuanyang Mountain right now." Lai Yang nodded.

"What? You're the only one left in such a big place? How about my sister and I stay and help you?" Li Xiaonuan was shocked when she heard that.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you silly girl? Just follow your master and practice well. You don't need to worry about the things here. I can handle it all by myself."

"But if you go back and see your master, please ask him for me. We agreed that there would be someone to take care of the medicinal fields. It's been half a month and there's not even a ghost. Isn't this bullying an honest person?"

"If it's okay, I plan to get a few people to help."

Lai Yang said speechlessly.

He also wants to practice alchemy to improve his realm and break through.

However, he is the only one on Yuanyang Mountain at the moment, and he has to take care of the medicinal fields every day. In addition, disciples from the Wenxian Sect occasionally come to borrow the formation to practice.

He couldn't concentrate on refining pills and practicing, so he still needed a few people to help.

"Okay, sir, don't worry. I will complain to Master when I get back." Li Xiaonuan nodded vigorously.

"Haha, come and have two fruits." As he said that, Lai Yang took out two Yuanyang fruits from his storage bag and gave them to Li Xiaonuan and Li Xiaowen respectively.

"Thank you, sir."

"Thank you."

Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan stayed with Lai Yang in Yuanyang Mountain for half a day before leaving.

Lai Yang watched the two petite figures go away, and glanced towards a certain void without leaving any trace.

The figure hidden in the void noticed this and couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise and doubt: "He discovered me, it's impossible, how could a little guy who is not even at the Tribulation Realm be able to detect my existence."

Lai Yang returned to Yuanyang Mountain, thinking that the breath hidden in the void should be the protector arranged by Lan Qingxian to protect Xiao Wen and Xiao Nuan.

Although the other party's aura was deeply concealed, it did not escape his divine sense. His strength was at least at the Tribulation Realm. Lan Qingxian had actually arranged such a powerful protector for them, so he could probably rest assured.

Even if they go out to gain experience, they will surely not suffer any loss.

After leaving, the two sisters returned to their practice residence and saw Lan Qingxian in red clothes.

"Master, we are back."

"When you come back, go and practice hard. There will be a fairy sect conference in ten years. At that time, I hope you can fight for me and ask the fairy sect to stand up."

"Master, the master wants us to ask you something. He said where are the people from Yuanyang Mountain? We haven't even seen a ghost. Master, aren't you bullying the honest people?" Li Xiaonuan put his hands on his hips and imitated the words.

"Hmm?" Lan Qingxian was slightly startled at this, then said after a moment's hesitation, "I understand. I will investigate this matter."

Afterwards, Lan Qingxian ordered people to find out the reason.

It turned out that the person behind this was none other than the previous chief elder of Yuanyang Mountain.

Relying on his slight power in the Wenxian Sect, he lured away all the people from Yuanyang Mountain, including some auxiliary props.

Perhaps it was because Lan Qingxian transferred him to another medicinal field, so he was dissatisfied and wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge.

But he also understood that Lai Yang was the elder recommended by Lan Qingxian, and he had no right to question the decision of the sect leader, so he used this method to cause trouble for the other party.

Lan Qingxian's eyes were cold and she said nothing.

The other party's behavior did not violate the sect rules of the Wenxian Sect, because the sect rules did not say that the chief elder could not take the medicine boy around him away, and this matter was not a big deal.

"Assign a new group of medicine boys to Yuanyang Mountain. Also, tell this matter to the elder in charge of Yuanyang Mountain and let him handle it himself."

"Yes."

Two days later, Yuanyang Mountain welcomed a new batch of medicine boys.

And from the responsible elder, Lai Yang learned the whole story.

Lan Qingxian didn't try to trick him, but because people couldn't stand him, they used some tricks on him.

Lai Yang also felt helpless, but didn't take it to heart.

It was not until this moment that Lai Yang's work in Yuanyang Mountain was officially on track.

However, the peaceful days did not last long.

Within two days, two disciples of the Wenxian Sect started fighting over a position in the formation for their training. The noise of the fight even destroyed several nearby Yuanyang fruit trees.

The medicine boy in charge of that area immediately ran to Lai Yang's residence and told him what had happened.

Lai Yang was also speechless. It had not even been a month since he took office, and someone dared to cause trouble on Yuanyang Mountain. They really didn't take him seriously.

Soon, Lai Yang appeared on Yuanyang Mountain. Seeing the nearby Yuanyang fruit trees destroyed by the fight between the two, his face suddenly became gloomy.

"stop."

Lai Yang shouted.

But the two of them didn't know whether they were too excited to fight, and they completely ignored Lai Yang's attempts to stop them. They used spells and moves randomly, causing serious damage to the surroundings.

Seeing this, Lai Yang rushed forward, grabbed one person and pushed him into another.

Immediately afterwards, the two men fell to the ground as if they had been hit hard, their bodies overlapping.

"Who gave you the courage to cause trouble on Yuanyang Mountain?" Lai Yang shouted coldly.

After a while, the two men stood up from the ground and looked at Lai Yang with a frustrated look.

Seeing that he was filled with the aura of the Nascent Soul Realm, he immediately shouted angrily: "It's none of your business. Who the hell do you think you are and how dare you meddle in our affairs?"

"I am the chief elder of Yuanyang Mountain." Lai Yang said in a deep voice.

"Since when has a Yuanying realm cultivator become qualified to be an elder of the Wenxian Sect?"

"I don't care what grudges you have. You must compensate for everything you destroyed on Yuanyang Mountain. One Yuanyang fruit tree is worth 200,000 spirit stones. Since your battle destroyed eleven Yuanyang fruit trees in total, plus everything else, that's three million spirit stones."

"Three million spirit stones? Are you crazy?" The two disciples of Wenxian Sect's faces changed and they shouted angrily.

The next moment, Lai Yang didn't hold back and punched the two of them with the force of a meteorite.

The two disciples of the Wenxian Sect were horrified and quickly defended themselves.

However, their fragile defense was like paper in front of Lai Yang's fist. Both of them were knocked out by the punch, spitting blood, looking extremely terrified.

"I'll give you one more chance. Pay me with spirit stones, or die!" Lai Yang exuded a terrifying murderous intent, and looked down at the two of them with cold eyes.

"stop!"

At this moment, an untimely voice suddenly sounded from the air.

Immediately afterwards, several powerful men wearing the uniforms of the Wenxian Sect's Law Enforcement Hall came from the air.

Seeing the man coming, the two men seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and hurriedly shouted: "Help! We just accidentally damaged a few fruit trees, and he wants to kill us."

"We are from the Law Enforcement Hall. We will take these two people back to the Law Enforcement Hall for interrogation."

The man came with a strong attitude and wanted to take the two disciples of the Wenxian Sect away without even asking about the whole process.

Lai Yang stopped everyone and said in a deep voice, "Wait, you can take them away, but first you have to pay me back for the tree, three million spirit stones."

"How could those few broken trees of yours cost three million spirit stones! You are clearly taking advantage of someone's misfortune." One of the disciples of Wenxian Sect couldn't help but shout.

"A fruit-bearing Yuanyang fruit tree would cost at least tens of thousands of spirit stones. I'm already being polite by not asking you to pay ten times the amount for what you broke."

"Either you compensate me with my spirit stones, or stay here to pay off the debt. I'll leave when you've paid off the debt."

Lai Yang said coldly.

Everyone's faces were ashen.

"We are from the Law Enforcement Hall. No one is allowed to interfere with the work of the Law Enforcement Hall. Are you trying to provoke us, the Law Enforcement Hall?"

"I am the chief elder of Yuanyang Mountain. Everything in Yuanyang Mountain is decided by me. What's wrong with the Law Enforcement Hall? Can the Law Enforcement Hall break the rules?"

Lai Yang looked up at the people from the Law Enforcement Hall and slowly said, "You guys from the Law Enforcement Hall came at a perfect time. You didn't show up when they were destroying Yuanyang Mountain, but you came out as soon as you saw I was going to teach them a lesson. It's hard not to suspect that you are in cahoots with them. Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely terrifying blood and energy burst out from Lai Yang's body, covering the entire Yuanyang Mountain.

Everyone's expression changed involuntarily, and their bodies felt heavy as if a mountain was pressing down on them.

They couldn't believe that the person in front of them was only at the Nascent Soul stage, how could he have such a terrifying physical cultivation.

"We in the Law Enforcement Hall also enforce the law impartially. If you attack us, it means you don't take us seriously. Have you considered the consequences?"

Even at this point, they still wanted to use their status as the Law Enforcement Hall to force Lai Yang to surrender.

Lai Yang's expression became increasingly cold. He had finally realized that these people were deliberately looking for trouble with him.

He was asking if the Immortal Sect had offended anyone yet. He had met very few people so far.

Lan Qingxian? Impossible. He wanted to force me to leave the Wenxian Sect, so there was no need to use such a boring method.

An answer suddenly emerged in Lai Yang's mind: the previous chief elder of Yuanyang Mountain!
"Either use spirit stones to redeem the person, or leave him to me." Lai Yang said.

However, no one took Lai Yang's threat seriously and thought he was bluffing.

In the Immortal Sect, there are few people who dare to go against their Law Enforcement Hall.

"Humph, let's go. I don't believe he dares to attack us."

Seeing that the people from the Law Enforcement Hall were planning to take the two away by force, Lai Yang stopped trying to reason with them.

If this matter is not handled properly, how can he continue to survive in the Xian Sect in the future?
The elder in charge of Yuanyang Mountain was so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to fart when being bullied.

The next moment, a terrifying air wave appeared where Lai Yang had originally stood, and he instantly appeared in front of everyone in the Law Enforcement Hall.

He tried hard to control the power in his hands so as not to kill everyone directly. In an instant, three or four Yuanying realm disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall were all seriously injured and lying on the ground.

Lai Yang turned and walked towards the two disciples of the Wenxian Sect who were causing trouble on Yuanyang Mountain. The two men were terrified and attacked Lai Yang with all kinds of means, but they couldn't even hurt a hair on his head. They couldn't help but feel frightened.

Suddenly, accompanied by a loud shout, a powerful pressure from heaven and earth hit Lai Yang.

"How dare you attack and injure someone from the Law Enforcement Hall? Today I will teach you a lesson."
