Baozi's face was a little confused, and he immediately shook his head: "You're lying! I don't have an uncle..."
"Ha ha!"
Fang Xi couldn't help but rub Baozi's cheek again, and said with a smile: "Your name is 'Wei Yixi', right? If I don't know you, how can I know your name?"
Wei Yixi's two pretty little eyebrows furrowed, and she wanted to bite her finger in annoyance. She seemed to be really thinking about how this stranger knew her name. Could he be her real uncle?
"What a tidal wave..."
Fang Xi's face softened: "Uncle accidentally went the wrong way. Can you open the formation and let uncle out? Uncle will bring you delicious food later..."
"Um!"
Wei Yixi nodded and took out a token from the small bag.
The next moment, she smiled slyly, suddenly jumped far away, and waved her token.
A piece of fog suddenly emerged, separating the two people.
"you're lying!"
Wei Yixi scratched his cheek: "If you were my uncle, how could you not know the secret to entering the formation? Mother! Mother, come quickly, there are bad guys!"
Her clear childish voice echoed far, far away in the valley...
"Who dares to invade my west peak?!"
Accompanied by a sharp shout, a magical weapon's light enveloped a person and quickly fell from the air, revealing a middle-aged woman.
When she saw Fang Xi, she was startled.
"Fellow Daoist Hua, I haven't seen you for ten years..."
Fang Xi solemnly held her hands, feeling a little emotional at the same time.
Hua Chanjuan is no longer as graceful as she was ten years ago. On the contrary, she has wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, a somewhat hunched back, and a mixture of black and white on her head. She looks like a woman in her forties.
Immortal cultivators would not have aged like this originally, but the other party has worked hard in the past ten years, accumulated spiritual stones, and purchased formations... There is already a tendency to become sick due to overwork.
"It's...fellow Taoist Fang Xifang?!"
Hua Chanjuan didn't dare to recognize her.
Although her face was exactly the same, Fang Xi had a mediocre temperament and the cautiousness of a spiritual farmer.
Today, Fang Xi is like an orchid and jade tree, with a flourishing temperament. Just standing there, she looks like a tall and straight green pine and cypress. The vitality makes Hua Chanjuan feel a little younger.
"Mother...who is this?"
Wei Yixi pulled Hua Chanjuan's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
This was the first time she saw her mother treating foreign monks in a friendly manner, and she couldn't help but be very curious.
"It's Uncle Fang Xifang that mother told you about. He is a good friend of mother and your father..."
Hua Chanjuan looked complicated and said to Fang Xi: "We haven't seen each other for ten years, fellow Taoist, please come in and drink a glass of honey water..."
"Thank you!"
Fang Xi cupped her hands and followed Hua Chanjuan into the house.
Wei Yixi was still looking at Fang Xi with curiosity, as if she wanted to remember this uncle's voice and smile.
"Xixi, why don't you call me uncle?"
Fang Xi took a sip of honey water and started teasing the child again.
"Uncle!"
Wei Yixi called out obediently this time, then suddenly remembered something and clapped Bai Shengsheng's little hand: "I remember, you are the uncle who is like my mother, hiding on the jade cliff and unable to come out!"
"Ahem..."
Fang Xi choked a little, but Hua Chanjuan taught her daughter: "How to speak? You have to be polite to outsiders..."
"But didn't my mother say that there are so many bad people at the foot of the mountain?" Wei Yixi asked in confusion.
Hua Chanjuan was speechless and could only salute to Fang Xi: "Fellow Taoist, don't be offended if the child talks nonsense."
"No, no, Xixi is so innocent and cute, I like her very much."
Fang Xi laughed and asked about the little girl's spiritual roots.
It was discovered that Hua Chanjuan was very lucky, and Wei Yixi had a middle-grade water spirit root qualification.
The possibility of giving birth to excellent spiritual roots among the descendants of monks is greater than that between monks and mortals.
Fang Xi was not surprised by this result.
"Fellow Taoist, I never go out. What's wrong with me this time?"
Hua Chanjuan hugged her daughter and her expression became serious.
"Sigh... It's the island owner who has an appointment with the old monster with golden teeth today. I feel a little uneasy..."
Fang Xi explained the matter: "So I wanted to come to my fellow Taoist to ask for a countermeasure, but I didn't expect that my fellow Taoist had already arranged a formation here. If I accidentally break into the formation, please don't blame me!"
He stood up and apologized sincerely.
No matter what, it's wrong to break into other people's formations.
"So that's what happened!"
Hua Chanjuan's face was as cold as ice: "Someone has come to look for me before. Anyway, I just said one word... I will kill anyone who dares to grab the west peak! This is the only thing my husband left for me and Xixi.
I’ve been thinking about it! As for the victory or defeat of the island owner? It’s not my business!”
Fang Xi felt keenly that Hua Chanjuan seemed to be somewhat resentful towards Ruan Xingling.
Perhaps, deep in the other party's heart, he still suspected that when something happened to Wei Yixin, Ruan Xingling might have taken action, or at least acquiesced!
"I will practice hard next time. If I say goodbye today, I don't know when I will see you again in the future. Take care, fellow Taoist!"
Finally, Fang Xi bowed her hands and prepared to say goodbye.
"Uncle!"
When he was about to walk out of the formation, Wei Yixi chased him out, raised his fist and shouted: "Don't forget, you promised me to bring me delicious food..."
Children probably rarely see other people, so they are less wary.
Fang Xi nodded, planning to have someone bring her some snacks in the future. It would be fun to coax the children.
…
Emerald Cliff.
The sun sets in the west, reflecting the lake in a golden color.
"Master, we are back."
Widow Wang took Lu Guo and the others back to Jade Cliff, her face full of joy.
"It seems that the island owner won the bet today."
When Fang Xi saw this scene, she couldn't help but smile.
Ruan Xingling's victory is in his interest.
"That's right! Master, it's a pity that you didn't go..."
Widow Wang recounted eloquently: "Today the island owner was dressed in red and showed great power... He even fought with the gold-toothed old monster who had perfected his Qi refining to a close fight. It was not until after a stick and a half of incense that he became free.
Give up and end up... From my point of view, that old monster with gold teeth can't defeat the island owner at all!"
"That's right... As soon as the island owner took action, there was a burst of ringing sound. Anyone who came close felt that the sea of consciousness was blinded and unable to move... After today's battle, the old monster with golden teeth politely paid the spirit stone and returned it to the island.
The Lord gave me the nickname 'Peach Bell Fairy'."
Lu Guo also added.
'It seems that Ruan Xingling has indeed reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining, and may even reach the tenth level of perfection...'
Fang Xi thought to herself, but also smiled: "It seems that from today on, the name of Fairy Taoling will be resounding throughout Wandao Lake."
At the same time, the old monster Jinya lost his wife and troops, which will definitely delay the progress of the attack and foundation building, which is a good thing for Fang Xi.
"After this battle, our Peach Blossom Island will be considered an island among the thirty-six islands. No one who is blind will dare to come to open a shop in Fang City."
Widow Wang's face glowed red, and she seemed to have thought of something, and she sighed: "I think the happiest person is Mu Wen. I heard that the island owner appreciated him very much during this report and asked him to continue to be the chief shopkeeper!"
"I see."
Fang Xi didn't care about this.
When will Mu Wen break through to the late stage of Qi refining, can he be given a high look?
"I have heard some news about Mu Wen."
Lu Guo suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Tell me..." Fang Xi smiled: "If it's valuable, I will teach you a day's magic..."
"Thank you, sir." Lu Guo thanked him quickly, and then told what he had seen: "I was crowded among the children of the Mu family, and I heard them say that the Mu family was in trouble recently... It is said that the family owner not only pledged all the spiritual fields, but also
I want to mortgage the ancestral home of Lingdi so that I can borrow a large amount of spiritual stones and buy a shop in Lingkongfang City... Some old people don't agree and are clamoring for a separation!"
"This is an addiction to risk-taking speculation..."
Fang Xi murmured, and couldn't help but think of the rich second generations in her previous life.
As long as you don't invest in ventures or gamble, even if you try hard to lose your fortune, you can continue to lose for decades...
But once big moves and big investments are made, they are full of risks!
There may be a few who succeed, but the majority fail.
Mu Wen must have tasted the benefits of previous speculation, and this time he wants to do something big!
If it succeeds, the Mu family will be a family rooted in the second-level spiritual vein of Lingkongfang City in the future!
As for failure?
This person probably thinks he will never fail.
"I think it's feasible. That's a shop in the second-level Lingmaifang City. It can definitely support several generations."
Widow Wang's face was full of envy: "Especially now, who dares to take a liking to our Taohua Island monks?"
"Lu Guo, what do you think?"
Fang Xi looked at Lu Guo.
"Sir, I think farming is more practical!" Even though he still had the idea of going out for a career, Lu Guo remained calm.
"Very good, I will teach you spells tomorrow..."
Fang Xi couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
What happened to the Mu family actually had little to do with him.
I just feel a little emotional when I think of Mu Chen back then.
…
The next day, Fang Xi taught Lu Guo the secrets of the 'Spring Breeze Transformation Technique' and the 'Gengkin Kusanagi Sword', and then sent him to bring some snacks to the Twin West Peaks.
He, Fang Xi, is a man of his word.
Autumn is full of fruits.
There was another bumper harvest in the spiritual fields.
During this rush to harvest spiritual rice, not to mention Fang Xi, even Wang Xiaohu was grabbed by Widow Wang and went to the ground to pick up the missing rice.
Although it is hard work, looking at the warehouse full of spiritual rice, I still feel a very fulfilling sense of accomplishment.
However, Fang Xi secretly paid attention to the fertility of the spiritual field and planned to set aside one or two acres next year to plant elixir seeds instead.
His alchemy requires a lot of materials to practice, and now his inventory is gradually running low, so he needs to replenish some from the outside world.
Growing your own is undoubtedly the most cost-effective.
It’s just that I have to work hard in the coming year to learn several other methods of growing spiritual grass... and I am equivalent to teaching him the way of spiritual grass cultivation, and it is too late for other spiritual farmers to be happy!
winter.
It's snowing heavily outside.
Fang Xi opened the small cloud and rain formation, making the formation always warm as spring, and peach blossoms bloomed in the courtyard.
Under the peach blossom tree, there is a dark table with a green bamboo wine bottle and two cups on it.
Fang Xi silently poured herself a glass, and her mouth still had a bitter taste.
