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

Chapter 73 Today's Reason
Li Qingsong paused while picking up the food.

He put down his bamboo chopsticks and drank the wine in his hand.

Looking at everyone's concerned eyes, he sighed.

"Qingsong, thank you all for your concern, but I have made up my mind. Yuying and I are in love, and I voluntarily marry into the Zhou family."

Li Qingsong also knew that even in the world of immortal cultivation, although the title of marrying into the wife's family was better than the titles of male favorite and cauldron, it was still despised by people.

But he no longer had a choice.

His unique skills in spirit puppetry allow him to get a glimpse of the whole picture, grasp the opportunity accurately, and earn a lot of spirit stones for his own practice.

Erfei Yang Caier had such a superior spiritual root and aptitude that she was noticed by the sect and became the disciple of the famous Master Han Jing of Bingpo Peak.

Even in terms of combat skills.

He also has self-awareness and is not as good as Fan Dacheng, who is at the fifth level of Qi training.
Fan Dacheng has been hunting monsters in Qingyun Mountains for many years. He has lived on the edge of a knife and has rich experience in fighting. Even if he is richer than Fan Dacheng, he has no chance of winning if they really fight.

As for Xu Qingshe, a first-class top-grade alchemist, he was the son of his master, Zhou Yuanyi, and he was also someone he had to respect.
Li Qingsong's current income and status are all dependent on the Duobao Pavilion in Yunzefang.

The Zhou family has been running Duobao Pavilion for hundreds of years and can decide their own future or future with a single word.

He knew that since Zhou Yuan opened his mouth, unless he gave up everything in Duobao Pavilion, his weak spot would be pinched, and there would be no question of whether he was willing or not.

He was secretly delighted that Zhou Yuanyi had noticed him the moment he entered Xuanyang Mountain.

Fang Yi, who is awe-inspiring among his peers, is still cultivating spiritual fields. Fan Dacheng, who has stronger spiritual roots than him, is adventuring to hunt monsters in the Qingyu Mountains.
He has already become a well-known cultivator in Yunze Market, and the spirit stones he earns are more than twice that of Fang Yi and Fan Dacheng.

But now the painful reality tells him that all this has already been priced.

Li Qingsong waved his sleeves and drank the spirit wine in the cup. The rich aroma of the wine seemed to have suppressed the bitterness in his heart.

Seeing his distressed face, Yang Caier wanted to say something, but was suppressed by Fang Yi.

The path of cultivation is a personal matter, and some things cannot be solved by just talking about them. As a friend, all we can do is lend a hand to the best of our ability.

Fang Yi raised his glass.

"Friend Li, let's drink this cup together!"

Yang Caier frowned slightly, glared at Fang Yi, and then raised her glass.

"Friend Li, let's drink this cup together!"

“Katsuyame!!”

“Katsuyame!!”

The silver moon sets in the west.

The stone table in the courtyard was littered with cups and plates.

Fang Yi looked at Yang Caier who was teasing Qijie beside the lotus pond and joked to her.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, Dacheng and Qingsong have already left. There's no one else here. Feel free to speak up if you have any private conversations."

It was rare for Yang Cai'er to show some of the intelligence of a female cultivator.

He held Qijie in his arms and stroked him gently. Qijie was so comfortable that he almost hummed, and it was obvious from his expression that he was enjoying it very much.

"Brother Fang, what exactly is the purpose of our cultivation? Although I was born as a herbalist, I also know that marrying into a family will be criticized by the villagers in the surrounding area."

"And Qingsong clearly doesn't want to do this either. If he doesn't want to, why bother?" Fang Yi knew that although Yang Cai'er was born a herbalist, her parents loved her deeply. After entering Xuanyang Mountain, due to her outstanding talent, she became a disciple of Master Han Jing, and was greatly favored by him.
I have reached the seventh level of Qi training so far, and everything has been smooth sailing. Although my character has improved, I have not suffered any hardship.

Fang Yi pondered for a moment, sorted out his confused thoughts, and then spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, regarding the Qingsong incident, it's clear that he's choosing between his own reputation and the treatment he receives from the Zhou family at Duobao Pavilion."

"This is just as Fellow Daoist Qingsong said. No one forced them. They made the choice that best suited their own standpoint. How could there be any question of reluctance?"

Fang Yi knew that no one else could speak up for such a thing. If he persuaded Li Qingsong to choose face, then whose responsibility would be for his slow progress in cultivation in the future? If he persuaded him to accept the benefits of the Zhou family, then if he was wronged in the future, he would inevitably blame the person who persuaded him to accept the benefits of the Zhou family.
It is inevitable that people will have expectations for things that they cannot obtain that far exceed the actual situation.

Yang Caier's pretty little face was tense, and she looked at Fang Yi with some anticipation.

"Brother Fang, do we have no other options?"

Fang Yi's face froze as he watched Qijie rubbing against Yang Caier's chest again and again.

"Of course there is. As long as Fellow Daoist Yang is willing to show his goodwill towards Qingsong, the Zhou family will naturally not make things too difficult for Fellow Daoist Li."

Yang Caier's eyes lit up. She still valued the three people who joined Xuanyang Mountain with her.

He draws inferences from one example.

"Brother Fang, your status as a first-class mid-grade puppeteer is also like this, right? Don't hide it. There is also Fellow Daoist Xu. As a first-class top-grade alchemist, his status is also very high."

"Since Qingsong has shown his connections with three promising foundation-building cultivators, even if the Zhou family doesn't value him, it won't be too much."

"Fellow Daoist Yang, you're joking. I've never been secretive. When Fellow Daoist Li gets married, I'll naturally support him."

For Fang Yi, now that he has reached the sixth level of Qi training, he can display the skills of a first-class mid-grade puppeteer.

This may not seem like an exceptional talent to outsiders, but it can still enhance one's status.

As his cultivation level improved, the quality of the spiritual materials he needed became higher and higher.

There is also a small trading fair introduced by Yang Caier, where one can occasionally obtain some high-quality spiritual materials.

But now Gu Jiushang is believed to have returned to Xuanyang Mountain. The matter of the half-demon cultivator involves several inner disciples and a foundation-building seed. Now the Yunze Market is likely to be bustling.

Moreover, as Yang Caier said, Fang Yi is now about to show the possibility of breaking through the Foundation Establishment Realm.

All cultivators are very realistic. As a disciple of Xuanyang, Fang Yi's status is very different depending on whether he has the possibility of building a foundation or not.

If a cultivator has the potential to establish a foundation, all major trading houses will be willing to invite him to their auctions. Many foundation-building families, such as the Zhou family of Duobao Pavilion and the Li family of Qianzhi Garden, will also give him some face.

What if nothing?
That cultivator is on a completely different line from the many foundation-building seeds, and not only will he have no chance of participating in transactions within the Xuanyang Sect.

Many dangerous missions are also prioritized for cultivators who have no hope of building a foundation.

Moreover, in the territory of Xuanyang Sect, more than 90% of the first-grade superior spiritual objects and precious medicines are controlled by these foundation-building seeds.

If Fang Yi wants to continue practicing peacefully, he must demonstrate his strength appropriately.

Moreover, the Green Wolf Spirit Puppet has been nurtured to the quasi-second level, and the Red Tiger Spirit Puppet has been nurtured to the lower second level, which is enough for them to protect themselves during the Qi training period.

Seeing Fang Yi denying his own weakness, Yang Caier snorted.

"Brother Fang, don't forget about the puppet armor. I thought you were so kind to recruit me into your group, but it turns out you wanted to use Master Han Jing to block the Zhou family's prying eyes."
