Ziwei Immortal Path

Chapter 99 Gifts from Various Families
Except for Zhang Pingduan, the four of them were old acquaintances. After some pleasantries, Zhang Guanzhi gave a wink, and Mo Dechun took out a storage bag from his sleeve, presented it with both hands, and said with a smile:

"Young Master Boyang, our families have been friends for many years, and since we are from the hometown of Qingshen, we shouldn't be too formal. In this bag are several magical instruments of the Condensation Stage, which are from Nanhuai, as well as two precious medicines for refining foundation-building and healing pills. They are all small things that are not worthy of being shown on the stage, so I will not show them one by one. Young Master, please accept them as a token of my gratitude."

"Mr. Mo, you're welcome."

Xu Boyang smiled and took it, then took out a small gas bottle from his storage bag and handed it to Zhang Guanzhi.

"This is a spiritual energy from heaven and earth, called [Red Flame Mountain Residence]. I heard it's quite difficult to collect, but I'm lucky enough to have obtained it. Guanzhi might as well keep it. If anyone in your family cultivates this [Li Gen], they can use it for now."

"We've been bothering you on your island for many days. Thank you for your hospitality!"

Zhang Guanzhi was surprised and delighted, and reached out to take it. This spiritual energy was quite famous and could be regarded as one of the strange fire spiritual springs. It was extremely rare and could not be found in the Qingshen realm. He did not expect Xu Boyang to take it out casually.

This kind of return gift is already extremely valuable. Whether this spiritual energy is sold in the market or brought back to Qingshen to be exchanged with the Immortal Sect, a considerable reward can be obtained. In comparison, my own gift is a bit shabby. After all, a magic weapon in the Condensation Period is at most one or two hundred spirit stones. I don't know how much this spiritual energy is worth.

His face flushed for a moment, and he felt a little embarrassed, but Xu Boyang didn't care and said with a smile:

"Please come inside the hall and have some tea and sit for a while. Young Master Wei Yu of the Langmo tribe has arrived earlier. I wonder if the steward and Guan Zhi recognize him. If you don't have the opportunity to meet him, I will introduce him to you three."

When Zhang Guanzhi and Zhang Pingduan heard this, their expressions suddenly became complicated. His family had lived in Nanhu for many years, and they had naturally heard of the reputation of the Langmo tribe a long time ago. They also knew that his family would come today.

It's just that his family is weak outside the country, so they are usually cautious and dare not get too involved with the wild monsters in the southern wilderness. But seeing other families making a lot of money in his market, he is jealous and greedy. He has long wanted to open a magic tool shop in his market to get some benefits. Therefore, although he wants to make friends with them, he has never had a suitable opportunity.

It's a pity that something happened at Kongkong Mountain of the Ji family this time, and complications arose. Although Zhang Guanzhi saw it with his own eyes at the time, and the Zhang family was later informed of the whole story by Xu Boyang, his family did not know the real cause of the incident, nor did they know the inside story of the [Hidden Demon Mirror].

In the Zhang family's view, although Qingqiu Qili was the instigator, in the eyes of the two of them, the Langmo tribe was ultimately involved in this matter. After all, the Houyan tribe was under his family's command. Now that the two families had fought because of Kongkong Mountain, even if it was a misunderstanding, it would be a bit awkward to make friends at this time.

Xu Boyang observed their expressions and understood their concerns. He said:

"Manager Zhang, Guanzhi, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. I've already told your family the whole story. Guanzhi saw the ancient Qingqiu monster with his own eyes that day. To put it bluntly, the Langmo tribe was set up by their mortal enemy, Qingqiu Qili, and was implicated for no reason. Furthermore, his family's Cuan master fought a fierce battle with the ancient monster to protect Kongkong Mountain that day and was injured. This kind of act of atonement is rare."

"Now that the main culprit, the Monkey Hiko tribe, has been destroyed, we all have to make a living in this southern part of the Ten Thousand Islands. There's no need to make an enemy out of nothing because of a misunderstanding."

"I dare not, my dear nephew, you are worrying too much. You have explained the whole story clearly, and my family has long since let it go. However, the Lang Mo family is a prominent family in the Black Tooth Tribe of the Southern Wilderness. They are powerful and famous. My family has little influence and I am afraid we cannot afford to marry into their family."

Zhang Pingduan, who was in charge of Wuqi Island, naturally understood what Xu Boyang said, but he was just worried that he had no way out. If he rashly tried to please others with a smug look on his face, he would be looked down upon.

Xu Boyang laughed softly and said:
"Manager Zhang, you are too modest. There are no outsiders here. Your ancestor is a late-stage foundation-building cultivator in Nanhuai, but he was tied up in worldly affairs and couldn't spare any time. How can you say you are marrying up? The Lang Mo family and I have discussed this. I have long admired your family, but it's a pity that we have never had the opportunity to meet them."

Zhang Pingduan's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Xu Boyang meant. Now that he had the opportunity, how could he let it go? He immediately bowed and said with a smile:
"I see. That's all right. It was all a misunderstanding before. Now that you, my dear nephew, are here to mediate and clear up the past grudges, that would be great. Thank you for your introduction!"

The four of them talked and chatted as they walked into the hall one after another. As soon as Zhang Pingduan came in, he saw Su Yanlu and was shocked. He no longer cared about Lang Mo Weiyu and hurried over to pay his respects.

After all, his life was saved by the Su family, and they really did him a favor. Besides, the Cangwu Su family was a popular family in front of the Pei family, and there was also an ancestor in the late foundation building stage in the family, and their status in Qingshen was much higher than his own.

Su Yanlu smiled slightly, too lazy to get up, and sat down to exchange a few words with him.

After visiting Su Yanlu, the three of them, introduced by Xu Boyang, got to know Young Master Lang Mo. After some pleasantries, Lang Mo Weiyu felt a little apologetic and clasped his hands together:
"Master Mo, Chief Steward Zhang, and Young Master Zhang, a month ago my family was harmed by the Qingqiu raccoon demon, causing unnecessary damage to the relationship between our two families. I am truly ashamed to say this now. Today is Master Xu's wedding day, so I will not steal the show. If you have time someday, please come to the market square of my Demon Spirit Island to meet me."

Zhang Pingduan understood what was going on and said with a smile, "
"Very good, very good. Young Master Lang Mo is very polite. My family will definitely come to visit you someday."

With Xu Boyang's mediation, the two families put aside their past grudges in a few words. Everyone smiled at each other, sat down, and had a very pleasant conversation.

At this moment, Zhao Jiulin's voice suddenly rose:

"Nanhu Kongkong Mountain... Ji Cenqing, Ji Xinzhu, and Ji Xinshi of the Ji family congratulate the Xu family of Qinlong Mountain for establishing the mountain!"

Zhang Pingduan suddenly heard the name being called, and the wine glass raised with both hands paused. He saw Xu Boyang standing up to greet him. His face instantly became mixed with emotions. He stopped talking, drank a glass of spirit wine silently, and could not help but turn his head to look outside the hall.

Kongkong Mountain suffered heavy losses after this battle. Among the three people in the family who were at the eighth level of Condensation Yuan, two of the elders were killed by the monkey demon and met the King of Hell. Now only Ji Cenqing is left. Many younger members of the family also died, so that only Ji Xinzhu and Ji Xinshi are left as direct descendants of the Ji family. Even Sang Keqing, who went with Zhang Pingduan to support the Zhang family, was not spared and died in the sea of ​​fire.

Thanks to the appearance of Xu Boyang and Su Yanlu, the tide was turned. Otherwise, I am afraid that we would never hear the five words "Kongkongshan Ji Family" again today.

After being injured, Zhang Pingduan lay in bed for half a month and had no contact with the Ji family. After all, they were once brothers-in-law and relatives. When he heard the name being called, Zhang Pingduan thought of his daughter-in-law who had not yet married into the family and felt sad. For a moment, the wine he swallowed became tasteless.

Xu Boyang walked out of the hall and saw the three members of the Ji family, father and son, looking dusty and haggard. He sighed in his heart, thinking that he must have been free for the past ten days or so and had just cleaned up his family home and the battlefield.

When Ji Cenqing saw Xu Boyang coming out, he was terrified and hurriedly bowed, whispering to his two children at home:
"Xinzhu, Xinshi, why don't you thank the senior for saving your life?"

Ji Xinzhu had taken the "Purple Qi Pill" for more than ten days, and his injuries had basically healed. When he heard his father's low scolding, he realized that the person who saved his family was actually this young man in front of him, who was about his own age. A storm of fear surged in his heart:

"It was this person who forced my father and I to take the Three Inch Powder. It was this person who stole my family's [Hidden Demon Mirror]!"

A thought flashed through his mind, planting the seeds of deep hatred, but he didn't dare to show it. He lowered his head and tugged at the hem of his brother Ji Xinshi's clothes.

Ji Xinshi was not very old, but he had a full beard and was tall and strong, looking like a rough man. When he saw his brother's movement, he responded in a low voice.

The two brothers of the Ji family lifted their skirts and knelt down, about to kowtow, when Xu Boyang rushed over, helped them up, and said, "Hurry up, both of you, and don't lose face. Master Ji, the mountain is full of distinguished guests today. It's inappropriate to do this. Let it be. Today is the grand opening of our Qinlong Mountain. There is no need to mention the past."

"Yes, yes, yes! What the mountain master said is..."

Ji Cenqing groveled and acted like a subordinate, and shouted at his two children in a low voice,
"Xinzhu, Xinshi, quickly pay your respects to Master Xu. From now on, Qinlong Mountain will be the benefactor of our Ji family's revival. You must never forget it!"

"Xinzhu dare not forget!"

Ji Xinzhu held a grudge in his heart, gritted his teeth secretly, and bowed, saying, "Ji Xinzhu greets Master Xu!"

"Ji Xinshi greets Master Xu!"

Xu Boyang looked at Ji Xinzhu's slightly red eyes and sighed inwardly, thinking that Ji Xinzhu was too sad to be in the mood. After a moment of sighing, he said:

"You two are welcome to be so polite. We are all from the hometown of Qingshen. We will support and help each other in the future."

Ji Cenqing lowered his head, rubbed his hands, and said awkwardly: "Master, my family has suffered a great disaster. I came here today because I am really... short of money..."

Xu Boyang frowned and said:

"What are you saying, Patriarch Ji? Our two families are not subordinate to each other. Don't belittle yourself in the future. Besides, I know your family's situation very well. It's enough for you to come. We have a chance to meet, so why be so formal?"

Ji Cenqing sighed softly:
"After all, the mountain master is celebrating the opening of the mountain today, and my family has nothing. I feel so ashamed..."

Xu Boyang frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of displeasure. Ji Cenqing was a soft-hearted person, and particularly unpleasant. However, because the matter of the [Hidden Demon Mirror] was not yet completed, they would have to deal with each other in the future. Seeing his submissive attitude, he felt annoyed and stopped talking to him. He just said:
"It's good that Patriarch Ji can come. Don't worry about the other minor matters. Also, the Young Master of the Langmo Family is already in the palace. I have already spoken with him. Although it was a misunderstanding, it has ultimately caused harm to your family. For this reason, his family is willing to provide financial assistance to help you rebuild your home as an apology."

"I wonder what Master Ji thinks? If you don't want to, then please go into the palace and have some tea. I won't do you any favors."

Ji Cenqing was overjoyed and thanked him quickly, "Thank you, Master! Thank you! My family has a lot of work to do and we are in dire need of money. If Langyan Mountain could generously donate, that would be great!"

Ji Xinzhu glanced down at his father's face, feeling extremely angry. His family was originally destroyed by the Langmo tribe who instigated the Houyan tribe, but in the end, they were framed and put the blame on Qingqiu Qili.

My father believed such a clumsy trick of calling a horse a zebra. He was really blinded by greed.

Thinking about it, he was ultimately defeated by the Houyan tribe and was rescued by the man in front of him by accident. However, the Huangting treasure left by his ancestor was inexplicably taken away, and he was forced to take a poison that ripped through his intestines and stomach!

It would be fine if I am not as skilled as others, but now I have to accept other people's charity. I have lost all the spirit left by the ancestors of the Ji family. It is a great shame!
He had a fiery temper to begin with, and the more he thought about having to go in and see the Lang Mo family's expressions, the more uncomfortable he felt. For a moment, his heart was heavy, his chest was heaving, his face was blue and red, and he vomited a mouthful of blood!
Everyone present was shocked. Before they could speak, Ji Xinzhu staggered two steps, waved his hand and whispered:
"Father, my injury hasn't healed yet, so I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he took out his own golden sword and walked away without looking back.

The situation arose suddenly, and Taoist Bailu, who was leading the guests up the mountain, was stunned. He hurriedly summoned the glass water pot and followed them, and told Monk Qinglan, who was guiding them outside the formation, to open the formation for them.

The blood was like spilled water, splattering all over the ground!
Zhao Jiulin's face turned pale and he hurriedly asked someone to get water to wash.

"No need."

Xu Boyang frowned, pinched the [Red Flame Flint Wind] and forced it out from the Laogong acupoint in his palm. In an instant, the bloodstains on the ground were burned clean, leaving no trace. He looked up at the golden light in the distance, his eyes flickering, as if thinking about something.

Ji Cenqing was so frightened that his legs went weak. He was worried about his child's injuries and also afraid that Xu Boyang would get angry. He was at a loss for what to do and said with a bitter face:

"Mountain, Mountain Master, this child is so shameless and has stained your mountain. He really, really deserves to die..."

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Boyang smiled slightly, not minding it at all. He waved his sleeves and said, "Your son's injuries haven't healed yet, and Patriarch Ji insisted on bringing him here. This shows his sincerity. Come in!"

Taoist Bailu and Monk Qinglan looked at Ji Xinzhu's receding figure, exchanged glances, and secretly broke into a sweat. The young master of the Ji family had blood splattered in the hall on the opening day of the mountain, which was really a disgrace. They wondered what the master's temper was like. Would he vent his anger on his family?

The two of them paused, and suddenly saw a large ship moving at an incredible speed across the blue water and sky, riding the wind and waves. On the bow of the ship was a huge blue-black bull head carved exquisitely, which looked majestic and lifelike!
Monk Qinglan's expression changed when he saw this, and he said anxiously:
"These are the barbarian monsters from the Niushan tribe of Niuer Mountain. Go to the shore and wait for the boat to dock!"

After saying this, he didn't care whether Bai Lu Daoist heard him or not, he flew down directly on the wind, and came to the front of the boat in the air, a hundred feet away, with a smile on his face, he said loudly:
"I, a humble monk, am here to greet the distinguished guest Qinglan from Qinlong Mountain. May I ask your Excellency what family you are visiting?"

"Hahaha!"

The bow of the ship was crowded with people. A streak of light flew out, revealing a tall monster wearing gray soft armor and with the head of a bull and the body of a man. Its horns spiraled upwards, and its nose was adorned with a golden nose ring. It shouted proudly:
"I am Niu Shankeli, the Cuan Lord of the Niushan Tribe of the Black Tooth Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Southern Wilderness. Today, I am leading the various lesser Cuan Lords of the 72 tribes of Niushan to come and pay my respects to Master Xu Boyang, a good friend of my brother Lang Mo Changge. As a small monk, please quickly open the formation and welcome me in to meet your master!"

Monk Qinglan was greatly surprised. He had been hanging around on the Thousand Stars and Ten Thousand Islands Lake for many years and had heard of the Niushan Tribe a long time ago. It was rumored that his family's Cuan Lord was also a monster in the late stage of transformation, with great strength and many small tribes under his command. He did not expect that he would come in person today, and brought with him the big and small Cuan Lords of the Niushan Tribe. It seemed that the face given by the master was not a bluff!
As soon as he thought of this, he quickly folded his hands together and bowed, then stepped forward, smiling respectfully and saying:
"So you're the owner of Niushan Cuan. I've heard of your great name for a long time. Nice to meet you!"

"Master Cuan's majestic arrival brings glory to my humble island. I ask Master Cuan to steer the treasure ship and follow me here!"

"Hahahaha!"

Niu Shankeli laughed heartily, turned around and waved his hand, then shouted in a loud voice:
"Guys! Follow this bald donkey and get ready to disembark. Eat and drink as much as you want today! We're all brothers! Don't leave until you're drunk! Don't leave until you're drunk!"
