Chapter 33: Chen Fangping
The Baisha River Oasis is more than 3,200 miles long from east to west, more than 1,700 miles wide from north to south, and with a population of millions. It is a very famous large oasis in the boundless sand sea.
This oasis is named after a long river running through the north and south of the oasis. The long river originates from Baituling on the south side of the oasis and pours into the Jinshui Lake on the north side of the oasis from south to north. Because the river is rich in crystal white and delicate white sand as white as jade, it is named Baisha River.
It is said that thousands of years ago, the area of Baisha River Oasis was only about half of today. It was the immortal cultivation family that later occupied Baisha River Oasis. After more than a thousand years of uninterrupted manpower and material resources for artificial forestry, the area of the oasis was expanded to this level.
To this day, in addition to the Zifu family of the Chen family in Baituling, there are four foundation-building families that depend on the Chen family, as well as dozens of small families composed of Qi training cultivators. If thousands of casual cultivators rely on the Oasis to make a living, this Baishahe Oasis is like a self-sufficient small world of immortal cultivation.
Because of the existence of the Immortal Cultivator Market and the late-stage monk of the Zi Mansion, Chen Yaohui, the ancestor of the Chen family, was in charge of the intimidation, the Baisha River Oasis does not prohibit foreign monks from entering and leaving.
However, because millions of mortals live in the oasis, the Chen family and the immortal cultivation families that depended on the Chen family set up contact points in conspicuous places on all sides of the oasis, and sent family monks to station them all year round to guide foreign monks to the market correctly so as not to disturb the mortals.
If you do not enter the Baisha River Oasis through these contact points, once you are discovered by the Chen family monk patrol patrol of the oasis, you will be punished with spirit stones at the least, and at worst, you may be regarded as the invader who directly shot him to death.
On that day, a young man in white was greeted by a white-clothed man riding a Shatuo beast, outside the south of the Baisha River Oasis.
The young man rode on the back of the Shatuo beast, just like most people who came to the oasis across the sea of sand, his face was full of fatigue.
It was not until he saw the magnificent palace attic on the distant mountain peak that he was refreshed and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.
The young man was Zhou Yang who had been walking in the desert for dozens of days. At this time, forty-two days had passed since he left the Yuquan Lake Oasis.
Since he was attacked by sand bandits that day, he has been going well in the following days. In the middle, he has never encountered any danger except killing two first-level desert monsters that are not open.
It was just a 42-day trip to the desert. Because he had to consume his spiritual sense to explore the way every day, his spirit was extremely exhausted and he urgently needed to find a safe place to rest.
The connection points set by various families on the periphery of Baisha River Oasis are undoubtedly a good place to rest.
"Fellow Taoist invited me. Chen Fangping from Xiabaituoling, and was assigned by the family to attract fellow Taoists from all sides. How dare you ask about fellow Taoists' names? Does he have a master's origin?"
Outside the magnificent guide hall, Zhou Yang, who was rushing up the mountain and rushed to the mountain, met the monks stationed here by the Chen family.
Because he was only responsible for guiding foreign monks to the market, the Chen family did not have high requirements for the cultivators who performed such a mission. Chen Fangping, a monk in the Chen family in front of Zhou Yang, looked more than teenagers older than him, and looked white and fat, with a kind appearance, and his cultivation level was only five levels of Qi training.
However, with the Chen family, the Baituoling, even facing a cultivator like him who is at the eighth level of Qi training, Chen Fangping's attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and very calm.
Zhou Yang was not surprised by this. If he had been himself, the ancestor of the family in the Zifu Period was the backer, he would not have bowed in front of a strange monk of his generation who was younger than him, unless the other party was a monk of the Foundation Establishment Period.
He smiled and bowed and bowed, and said in a warm tone: "It turned out that Brother Fang Ping from Baituling, who was in Zhouyang, the Zhou family in Yuquan Lake, came to Jinshafang City to take over the [Yuquan Pavilion] of the Zhou family on behalf of his father Zhou Xuanhao. This is the identity token I have been here."
When Chen Fangping heard that Zhou Yang was from the Chen family's ally, he looked on his face. After receiving the identity token he handed over, he saw clearly the message left by Zhou Minghan, a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and then smiled.
"It turns out that it is Zhou Yang, the Zhou family of Yuquan. He is really disrespectful. Although his brother has low cultivation, he has also heard of the title of a second-level top-grade alchemist at Lingzun. He never thought that he could inherit Lingzun's career at a young age. He is indeed a tiger father without a dog son!"
Zhou Xuanhao has lived in the Baishahe Oasis for a long time, and the second-level top-grade alchemist is naturally named in various families. Therefore, when he heard that Zhou Yang was Zhou Xuanhao's son, he also saw that he had the eighth level of Qi training at a young age, Chen Fangping's attitude immediately improved greatly.
While returning Zhou Yang's identity token, he stretched out his hand intimately and said, "I must have been working hard all the way from Yuquan Lake Oasis. Without further ado, I would like to invite you here. I will ask you to prepare soup and meals for you to welcome me."
"Brother Chen Gao Yi, I thank Brother Chen first."
Zhou Yang was not polite either. After collecting the token, he followed Chen Fangping into the Guiding Hall. As for the Shatuo Beast mount, naturally, the mortal groom who was arranged by the Chen family to take him here to feed him.
Entering the guidance hall, Zhou Yang first entered the hot spring pool of the back hall under the guidance of his maid and took a hot bath. When he changed into clean clothes and returned to the front hall, Chen Fangping had already prepared a table of good food and rice to wait here.
The dish is made of second-level spiritual medicine such as monster meat, century-old Polygonatum, and Centennial Spirit Ginseng. The rice is steamed by [Golden Bead Rice]. After a meal, Zhou Yang and Chen Fangping are already brothers. People who don’t know see it and think they are good friends who have been together for many years!
But brothers also have to settle the score clearly, right? I, Chen Fangping, treat you, Zhou Yang as your brother, are you embarrassed to eat for nothing?
When Zhou Yang had enough food and drink, he received the consumption list handed over by Chen Fangping, his face turned very exciting.
He was a little surprised just now. It was just the first time that the two met. Even if Chen Fangping wanted to make friends with him because of his father Zhou Xuanhao, the meal would be a bit too sumptuous.
But at that time the other party had already started to eat, and he was indeed attracted by this table of delicious food and rice and moved his index fingers, so he didn't think about it anymore, just thinking that the Chen family had a great family and did not care about this.
It was not until now that he saw the consumption list handed over by the other party that he suddenly realized that he was being tricked.
Chen Fangping did not want to make friends with him, it was clearly a gift!
Thinking about it now, Chen Fangping's previous attitude was indeed a little too enthusiastic.
To put it nicely, the Zhou family and the Chen family are alliances. In fact, the Zhou family is the younger brother of the Chen family. Although Chen Fangping has a low cultivation level, he is also a serious Chen family. If there is no benefit-driven, there is no need to lower his posture to curry favor with him!
Therefore, the real situation is that Chen Fangping, after hearing that his father was the second-level top-grade alchemist Zhou Xuanhao, decided that he was a rich fat sheep, so he changed his attitude and warmly treated him, with the goal of killing him hard.
Anyway, with the Chen family as their backer and on his own territory, they are really not afraid that he will dare to eat the King's meal.
After thinking through all this, Zhou Yang's face gradually calmed down. He had eaten everything and could not even be able to pay for the debt. What's more, just a meal, Zhou Yang wouldn't be able to afford a meal.
"Brother Chen is a good method, I admire you, I admire you!"
He looked at Chen Fangping, who was also looking at him calmly, bowed his hand gently, and offered up the meal fee of hundreds of spirit stones.
After receiving the spirit stone, Chen Fang's calm expression changed again. He looked at him with a smile and said, "I am a great son of the Zhou family. This is a blessing. I have to make a deal with you, my friend. If you have any problems in Baishahe Oasis in the future, I want my brother to help you. Although I speak, my brother, although my brother is not very good at cultivation, I can still say a few words from my father."
"Oh, I wonder if Ling Zun is?" Zhou Yang looked at Chen Fangping in surprise.
Is this fat man with a thick face and a dark heart, also a second generation of immortals?
"That's right, my father Chen Ping'an!"
Chen Fangping's face flashed with a proud look, and he spoke a name that changed Zhou Yang's face with pride.
"Chen Ping'an! Could it be the senior Chen Ping'an who killed the third-level top-grade monster [Golden Toad] with one sword?"
Zhou Yang couldn't help but exclaim, his face full of surprise.
"That's right!" Chen Fangping seemed very satisfied with the change in Zhou Yang's face and nodded with a proud look.
"It turns out that Brother Chen is the son of Senior Chen, no wonder..." Zhou Yang looked at the round-faced fat man with a strange expression on his face. He thought to himself, no wonder this guy is just a fifth level of Qi training, and dares to cheat him as a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi training like this.
In addition to the tiger skin of the Chen family, the lover also leans against the big tree of Chen Ping'an.
Then Chen Ping'an is not an ordinary person. He is one of the dozen foundation-building cultivators in the Chen family. His cultivation is as high as the ninth level of foundation-building. He is the first foundation-building person in the Chen family's ancestor. His most brilliant record is that he is a fourth-level flying sword "White Rainbow Sword" and a sword killing the third-level top-grade monster known for his defense.
There is such a big boss' father. As long as Chen Fangping does not offend the Zifu Cultivator, he can basically walk across the Baisha River Oasis. Of course, he is not afraid of him as a small monk from the Foundation Establishment Family in Zhouyang.
Chen Fangping saw the change in Zhou Yang's face, but he didn't know what he had not finished his words, but he didn't mind, after all, this was the fact.
He narrowed his eyes and walked to Zhou Yang with a friendly face, patted him on the shoulder and said, "How is it? Do you still feel at a disadvantage now? If you invite me to have a meal, you will have the chance to get in touch with your father. This is definitely a big profit. You must know that with your father's status, it is not easy for your Zhou family to see him when the patriarch comes!"
"I……"
Zhou Yang looked at Chen Fangping who looked at him with a look of "You've made a lot of money", and he felt like a sunny orange cat.
He shook his head slightly, avoided the round and fat face, and coughed slightly awkwardly, "Ahem, Brother Chen has said that, then I will ask again, "Don't you sleep here and rest, right?"
Zhou Yang was also afraid of being cheated. He learned from his mistakes. Now, in addition to breathing, he had to ask in advance whether it was free for free if he had to drink a glass of water and sleep.
When Chen Fangping saw him like this, he was also amused by his words. He couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, I'm so interesting. Don't worry, not only does it cost to sleep, but I'll give you two beauties free to warm your bed?"
