Gou Dao Changsheng: Starting from the Reincarnation of a Demon Cultivator

Chapter 112: The Law of the Jungle (Part )

"Well, so good."

Seeing the two men's respectful attitude, Xiao Changce nodded slightly.

Xu Qingshe is a disciple of Senior Brother Xuanshan, and he is also a top-grade first-class alchemist, with a high status in the sect.

Although Fang Yi is only an outer sect disciple, he is also a puppeteer who has cultivated puppetry skills to the first-class upper level. He only needs to pass the outer sect examination to become a cultivator who has the hope of building a foundation.

Xiao Changce was a little surprised. He had seen Fang Yi once in the secret realm of Qianzhi Garden on Lingyang Peak more than ten years ago.

At that time, Fang Yi was just a cultivator at the third level of Qi training. Although he had some talent and began to study puppetry, he was only a low-grade first-level puppeteer.

I never thought that in just a decade or so, his puppetry skills had already reached the top level. This showed that his talent in puppetry was already top-notch.

It’s a pity that his talent in cultivation is average. I wonder if he can reach the foundation-building stage before he turns sixty.

But even so, Xiao Changce, as a great cultivator in the late foundation building stage of Xuanyang Mountain, would not make things too difficult for Fang Yi and Xu Qingshe.

A red spiritual light in his hand shot into the soul-reflecting mirror. The ancient mirror was dim, and the bronze light shone towards Chen Yuanxun.

"Humph"

Chen Yuanxun groaned under the mirror light, and then felt his soul tingling, as if he was being carefully analyzed under the eyes of others.

She had never thought that, as a fellow Foundation Establishment cultivator, Xiao Changce would not even give her a shred of face, and even treated the two Qi Condensation cultivators better than herself.

But feeling the terrifying power displayed by the soul-reflecting mirror floating in the air, Chen Yuanxun clenched and unclenched his hands several times.

Then another ray of bronze mirror light shone towards Fang Yi.

Compared with the previous one, this mirror light is much softer.

Fang Yi felt that the bronze mirror light was like a clear spring, covering him with a veil, and there was not much sense of being spied on when the spiritual light flowed.

As for Xu Qingshe, Xiao Changce was concerned about the face of his fellow senior brother Master Xuanshan, and did not aim the soul mirror's light at him.

……

Xiao Changce's eyes were as sharp as knives and his tone was rude.

"Today, I would like to ask you to explain the affairs of the Chen and Wang families in Xiaoyue Mountain clearly. With all of you nephews here, I can also see if there are any demonic activities."

Chen Yuanxun frowned. She, a dignified Foundation Establishment Master, was actually being interrogated like this in front of Qi Cultivation cultivators.

"Why? Does Fellow Daoist Chen still have doubts?"

Although Xiao Changce's tone was flat, it was like a muffled thunder striking into Chen Yuanxun's heart.

A great cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, a true disciple of Xuanyang Mountain, and a supremely refined magical weapon...

A stream of information flashed through his mind. Although he was prepared, Chen Yuanxun was still shocked by Xiao Changce's domineering behavior.

Chen Yuanxun forced a smile on his face and spoke in a very polite tone.

"Brother Xiao, I naturally have no doubts."

"This incident started when my brother discovered a first-grade, top-grade spiritual copper mine. Unfortunately, it was discovered by this cultivator from the Wang family, and his greed grew..."

Fang Yi was not surprised when he saw Xiao Changce questioning Chen Yuanxun.

Although both of them are at the foundation-building stage, the gap between them is too huge.

The magic power of cultivators in the late stage of foundation building naturally undergoes some transformation, and their cultivation brings with it some characteristics of Jindan Zhenren. If they use all their strength, it is not difficult to kill a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.

The purpose of Xuanyang Mountain sending Xiao Changce this time was very simple, which was to suppress the development of Xiaoyue Mountain.

For any top sect, it can accommodate as many foundation-building forces as possible, but once there is a possibility of the birth of a Jindan Zhenren, this trend must be nipped in the bud.

The birth of a Jindan Zhenren means that this force is already qualified to leave the chessboard, and now the incident in Xiaoyue Mountain has shown this sign.

To be able to kill a person who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he must have a trump card with the power to reach the late Foundation Establishment stage.

What's more, Xiaoyue Mountain has also given birth to Dan seeds and fake Dan Zhenren, so Xuanyang Mountain will inevitably suppress it and dynamically adjust its power progress.

As for Xiaoyue Mountain, why has it been quite respectful to Xuanyang Mountain over the years?

When it may endanger the interests of Xuanyang Mountain, this respect is of no value at all.

After a stick of incense.

Xiao Changce turned his gaze to Fang Yi.

"Junior Brother Fang, from what you have seen, is there any truth to what Fellow Daoist Chen said? Was it really Wang Mengchu of the Wang family who attacked Xiaoyue Mountain out of greed?"

Fang Yi also ignored Chen Yuanxun's expectant look, but he did not tell him that Chen Yuanxun had hidden his lifespan as bait to lure the Wang family monks to his house.

After all, with his current level of cultivation, it is impossible for him to see through the concealment of a Foundation Establishment Master.

If Fang Yi spoke, he might expose his own practice of "The Sutra of Life and Death", so he naturally would not cause trouble for himself.

Fang Yi is proficient in telling the truth, or partial truth, in a neither hurried nor slow tone.

"Uncle Master, I'm only here for a portion of the Seven Cold Water, hoping to use it to refine my puppetry. As for the incident between the Chen family of Xiaoyue Mountain and the Wang family of Wulong Mountain, I'm not sure of the specific reason. However, a Foundation Establishment cultivator did attack last night, but I don't know which cultivator it was."

A hint of appreciation flashed in Xiao Changce's eyes.

"Oh, this Junior Brother Fang knows the pros and cons. He knows when to advance and when to retreat, and he's quite shrewd." He knew that with his own cultivation and status, ordinary Qi training cultivators would certainly be very fawning. But the young Qi training cultivator in front of him was able to control his emotions despite his aura and not blindly flatter him. This was already quite extraordinary.

As for not being able to learn about the grudge between the Chen and Wang families from Fang Yi, Xiao Changce didn't take it to heart.

How could a mere Qi training cultivator possibly know anything about a foundation building cultivator? If he truly knew, that would be a serious problem.

What Fang Yi said can be used as a reference. He is a great cultivator in the late foundation-building stage of the Xuanyang Sect, and has the support of a Jindan Zhenren. What evidence does a mere Xiaoyue Mountain need?
It's just to maintain Xuanyang Mountain's rule here and to maintain the appearance of being fair.

Xiao Changce turned his gaze and spoke to Xu Qingshe.

"Hmm, I see. Junior Brother Fang's cultivation is limited, but Junior Brother Xu is an expert in alchemy and a favorite disciple of Senior Brother Xuanshan. Do you know the specifics of the situation?"

"Reporting to Uncle Xiao, my views on the Xiaoyue Mountain incident are the same as Brother Fang's."

Xu Qingshe noticed that Xiao Changce had a calm expression and breathed a sigh of relief. Although his master, Master Xuanshan, was the top cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage and was known as Chi Yanzi, Xiao Xuanshan only accepted him as a disciple and then let him fend for himself.

It was also the first time that Xu Qingshe faced a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who was unreserved and full of momentum.

Seeing this, Xiao Changce didn't say much and changed the magic gesture in his hand.

A bronze mirror light hit Xu Qingshe.

He spoke softly, his tone calm.

"Junior Brother Xu, have you accepted benefits from Xiaoyue Mountain and concealed some key information from them?"

"And Brother Fang, did you accept the bribe from Xiaoyueshan?"

Xu Qingshe almost broke out in a cold sweat at Xiao Changce's words.

Half a day ago.

On the top of Xiaoyue Mountain, not long after Chen Yuanxun killed Wang Mengchu, the invading Wang family monks were either killed or escaped.

The entire Xiaoyue Mountain returned to peace.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There was a knock on the door outside Hanmei Garden.

"Friends Fang and Xu, are you here? I'm sorry for scaring you both today. I, Chen Rong, have come to express my apologies."

Fang Yi stood up and opened the gate, and saw a female cultivator with white hair and a wooden stick standing at the door.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Rong is worrying too much. Fellow Daoist Xu and I were not frightened in Hanmei Garden. Please don't mention the apology."

Chen Rong walked into Hanmei Garden and sat down in front of Fang Yi. Thinking about the instructions given by the foundation-building ancestor, the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Brothers, you two came to my Xiaoyue Mountain to help me win a great victory for my Chen family. But now you are being attacked by the Wang family cultivators. I, Xiaoyue Mountain, naturally feel sorry for treating my friends well."

After saying that, he took out two storage bags from his waist, placed them on the stone table, and pushed them in front of Fang Yi and the others. The openings of the storage bags were half open, and faint fluctuations of spiritual energy came from them.

Chen Rong has great confidence in what the clan's foundation-building ancestor has told her. The spiritual objects in this storage bag are of great value.

Looking at the two storage bags in front of him, Fang Yi scanned them with his spiritual sense and knew the value of the spiritual objects inside.

"The Chen family of Xiaoyue Mountain has made a big move this time, but their apology is a joke."

In the storage bag before Fang Yi's eyes, the Chen family of Xiaoyue Mountain had their own specialties. Small Xuan Gold, Cang Ling Wood, and Chishan Iron were all top-grade spiritual materials for refining puppets. A rough estimate put their value at at least four hundred low-grade spirit stones.

In the storage bag before Xu Qingshe were various spiritual herbs used for alchemy. The spiritual herbs in the bag were extremely valuable, including a single Red Pearl Spiritual Fruit, the same first-grade spiritual herb as the previous reward. The total value of the bag was even greater than Fang Yi's storage bag, worth approximately 500 low-grade spirit stones.

Looking at Chen Rong sitting at the stone table, she had a look of confidence on her face.

Fang Yi smiled slightly, waved his left hand, and pushed the storage bag back.

Chen Rong's expression changed.

"What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Fang? But the spiritual object in the bag doesn't suit your taste."

Chen Rong was also aware of the value of the spiritual objects in the bag. To please Fang Yi, the spiritual objects in the storage bag were all replaced with spiritual materials for puppet making.

For this purpose, the ancestor of the family's foundation-building sect took out some spiritual objects from the storage bag left by the foundation-building master of the Wang family, in order to make up the two sincere tokens.

Everyone in the Chen family was confident that these two acts of "sincerity" were enough to buy ordinary foundation-building seeds, and Fang Yi and Xu Qingshe could definitely not refuse them.

Fang Yi glanced at Xu Qingshe, who had also pushed the storage bag back because of his own actions, and spoke in a meaningful tone.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Rong, I wonder what kind of shock this is that requires such sincerity? Fellow Daoist, please speak frankly, otherwise I cannot afford such a rich spiritual object."

Chen Rong's face turned grim. She had never thought that a spiritual object worth four hundred low-grade spirit stones would be rejected when it was delivered to her door.

His tone softened a bit.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Fang Yi. This spiritual object is the Chen family's apology from Xiaoyue Mountain, not some other conspiracy. If you're worried, Master Yuanxun of the Chen family can come and visit us in person after returning from the Wang family's ancestral home, Wulong Mountain."

Listening to the half-threatening, half-tempting words of the female cultivator in front of him, Fang Yi already knew what was going on.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Rong, please be frank. Junior Brother Xu and I dare not accept this inexplicable wealth that has been delivered to our door."

Seeing Fang Yi's firm attitude and Xu Qingshe also following his lead, Chen Rong sighed helplessly.
