Chapter 256 Qingxue builds the foundation and receives spiritual insects as a gift
"From today on, we have truly established a foothold in Huayu Country."
Watching the three people from Xike driving away on the lotus throne together, Xie Duanyang muttered silently.
And on the bustling Fangshi construction site, two flags have already been erected.
One is the sect emblem of Baihua Mountain, which indicates that this place is its peripheral force and is protected by it.
The other flag is embroidered with the shape of a round mirror, which is very similar to the Zhaoyang Mirror in Xin Ruyin's hand.
It was Xie Duanyang who temporarily selected it as the symbol of his own lineage.
Huayu Middle School is Yaowang Valley, and the two families in Baihuashan are the largest.
The Duanmu family is actually just barely making up the numbers, and their strength is far behind the two.
Now that we have officially established an alliance with Baihuashan, we are no longer without a backer, and we can be a little more relaxed in our actions in the future.
"It's a pity that they still took away the formation map."
Although she knew it in her heart, Xin Ruyin still felt a little reluctant to give up.
"It doesn't matter."
Xie Duanyang comforted her and said, "Dr. Xike Daoist, it's not like he swore the oath of inner demons and made a contract with us."
"At the latest, within a year, Baihua Mountain will send out alchemy monks to graft the branches and spiritual roots of the thousand-year-old purple-striped peach for us."
"In addition, the secret technique of spiritual planting and the brewing method of two kinds of spiritual wine are also given, and the bleeding is not too small."
Seeing that she was still a little aggrieved, Xie Duanyang shook his head and smiled.
"If you are worried that they will break through the mountain-protecting formation based on this diagram, just practice in seclusion like ten thousand fellow Taoists and strive to build the foundation as soon as possible.
Then we set up another formation, hiding the formation within the formation, so that others cannot decipher it even if they get the formation map."
Xin Ruyin has always been smart, and naturally knows that the other party is powerful, and it is impossible to be truly fair between them, and they will definitely be more passive during transactions.
Handing over the mountain-protecting formation map is, in a sense, giving away the leverage or flaws, so that Baihua Mountain can truly feel at ease.
It’s just that although I can figure it out, it’s hard to accept it in my heart.
Now after receiving a few words from Xie Duanyang, I finally put it down for the time being and made up my mind to practice hard.
Seeing that she agreed, Xie Duanyang handed two volumes of the Spiritual Planting Technique and a round mirror to Qi Yunxiao, and raised his chin at the monks in the market who were willing to seek refuge with him.
"You select some monks to teach the content here. Each person only needs to master one type, and you cannot learn more.
Let them help take care of the spiritual fields and cultivate spiritual flowers and fruits.
Cultivation qualifications are not important, the key is good conduct, honesty and willingness to work.”
Putting away the two volumes of the secret technique of spiritual planting, Qi Yunxiao nodded heavily, but then he raised the small mirror in his hand and cast a questioning look.
"When you return to the cave, I will teach you several secret magic techniques.
By using this technique, we can place restrictions on those people's souls, preventing them from revealing what they have learned from us."
Xie Duanyang Dandan explained a few sentences.
Although Baihuashan had deleted many things from these two volumes of Spiritual Planting Techniques when they were published, they are still the result of thousands of years of hard work accumulated by the sect.
The basic content is fine, but there are still many secrets that are not suitable for Gaiden, especially the book that Xike added later.
The two parties had clearly agreed upon it when they concluded the contract.
It’s okay for Xie Duanyang’s disciples to learn these things, but they must not leak them out.
And it is impossible for all his apprentices to take care of the spiritual plants. After all, they have to find someone to do it, so they have to arrange some means.
As for the techniques to restrain the soul, blood, and mana, I don’t know how many are contained in the "All Spirits Manual".
Although Qi Yunxiao has never practiced the corresponding magic technique, he does not have as many methods as Xie Duanyang and cannot easily use them.
But with the help of this mirror as a medium, it can be done.
Speaking of which, I would also like to thank the unknown pill-forming monk from the Thousand Fantasy Sect for the fragments of the magic weapon he left behind, which gave him a lot of inspiration.
In fact, the notorious and frightening soul refining techniques and Horcruxes in the cultivation world are similar to this.
Xie Duanyang's and Qi Yunxiao's magic techniques may not be as painful and overbearing as this technique, but they are far superior in subtlety.
After all, the soul refining technique can only capture the monk, extract his soul and spirit, and inflict punishment and torture.
It is not possible to plant restrictions in their bodies in advance.
The Zhaoming Mirror that Xin Ruyin masters is the hub and core of the ever-changing landscape. At the same time, this realm also has the magical function of assisting Zuo to guide practice and explore spiritual roots.
Since they are all his disciples, Xie Duanyang should not be too biased.
She is troubled by the Dragon Roar Body and must rely on this thing.
In this case, Xie Duanyang simply gave him another magical weapon to firmly control the handyman monks outside.
After all, Qi Yunxiao is a foundation-building monk, although he has no talent in magic.
But after Xie Duanyang explained it in detail for seven days, he finally managed to master it.
After that, it’s time to become proficient in moving by yourself.
After doing this, Xie Duanyang has nothing else to do for the time being.
Warning Qi Yunxiao, if there are guests coming to the Duanmu family in Yaowang Valley,
Unless the alchemy monk comes in person, he will say that he is once again in seclusion to seek alchemy and has no time to receive him.
After telling him, Xie Duanyang went to retreat seriously and took the elixir to refine the medicinal power.
This retreat lasted for half a year.
Summer goes to autumn and winter comes again.
The cold wind swept across the mountains and fields, making a sharp howling sound.
All the peach blossoms on the mountain have fallen away, leaving only dead branches and leaves.
The miasma that originally would have become much thinner at this time of year is still as strong as before due to the constraints of the mountains and rivers formation, but it is just a little less active.
The monks from Baihua Mountain arrived later than Xie Duanyang expected, and had not yet come to graft and transplant the spiritual roots of the wild peach tree as agreed.
However, with the hard work of a group of monks and hundreds of mortals, the city has been built.
Those monks moved into Fangshi or the caves prepared by Xie Duanyang one after another.
From time to time, some casual practitioners from nearby areas come over to try to purchase some material resources needed for practice.
It's just because he ordered his disciples to stay in the mountains during this period and concentrate on practicing the Dharma.
He did not go out to explore business routes and establish real business relationships with other families and sects.
Therefore, the resources in the market are far from abundant, and they are mainly concentrated in the bartering stage of casual cultivators.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Rather than saying it is a small market, it is more like a fixed bulk trading market at the moment.
Of course, Xie Duanyang did not gain much from this.
He was not in a hurry, just waiting for the opportunity to come.
For example, now.
"Congratulations to fellow Taoists."
Xie Duanyang clasped his hands behind his back and used his spiritual consciousness to look at Wan Qingxue in front of him.
I haven’t seen her for half a year, and her temperament has obviously changed from before.
Not only has his momentum improved greatly, but his appearance also looks several years younger than before, as if he is no more than twenty years old, and it is the time when he is in his prime.
The foundation has clearly been successfully established.
She wasted several years at the peak of the thirteenth level of Qi training, and had even taken a foundation-building pill before, thus accumulating a lot.
Therefore, even if you have just established the foundation, the remaining medicinal power must be digested.
But her magic power is actually not much weaker than that of Qi Yunxiao, who built the foundation one step ahead of her.
"I would also like to thank Brother Qu Dao for helping me."
Yingying gave a salute, and Wan Qingxue looked very respectful, even seeming to be more respectful than before.
At the level of foundation building, although it is much easier for Yuanying to form the pill, even if he has poor qualifications, he can still successfully build the foundation with the help of multiple foundation building pills.
But it’s not really that simple.
At the very least, most junior and middle-level alchemy monks have no good way to interfere with this process.
Even if it could be done, it would still take a lot of effort, and this would never happen unless one was of the bloodline of a close relative.
This is also the reason why Wan Qingxue has such an attitude.
Xie Duanyang has not yet formed the elixir, but he can actually help guide him to build the foundation.
Although she has a solid foundation and good qualifications, Xie Duanyang's role is not obvious.
But it was enough to make him realize that he must not treat this fellow Taoist Qu with superficial cultivation.
"Since fellow Taoists have successfully built the foundation, we should organize a party like Yunxiao as usual and invite all the nearby comrades."
"But the event has just been held this year, so don't be too anxious. We might as well schedule it for next spring."
He casually made a decision for Wan Qingxue, and Xie Duanyang handed the jade box into her hands.
"Although we have to wait three or four months for the banquet, we might as well give the gift in advance."
"Everything is according to Brother Dao's wishes."
Wan Qingxue doesn't attach much importance to the matter of Xihui. After all, she is just a casual cultivator at the level of Qi training, and it will have no effect on her who is already a foundation-building cultivator.
But she was still a little happy.
Unlike Qi Yunxiao, who is a disciple of Xie Duanyang's sect and is a guest minister by name, there is more than one layer of separation between her and her.
Now Xie Duanyang wants to hold a foundation-building meeting for himself with the same treatment as Qi Yunxiao, even though he knows that this is mainly to build his reputation and help develop this foundation.
This is enough to make Wan Qingxue feel at ease.
Thinking of this, she opened the jade box with some anticipation.
After staying in the mountains for so long, Wan Qingxue knows how generous Xie Duanyang is.
Qi Yunxiao succeeded in building the foundation and got a second-level fire crow that was comparable to the foundation building.
Not to mention that Xin Ruyin still needs to be favored.
In the jade box is something similar to amber.
Next to it, there is an emerald green jade slip.
A mantis as long as a finger lay peacefully in amber, but Wan Qingxue was able to rely on the spiritual consciousness of a foundation-building monk.
I sensed that the qi and blood in the mantis were still active and it was not dead, it was just temporarily put to sleep.
"This is..."
Wan Qingxue couldn't help but lick her lower lip. The mantis spirit insect in the amber gave her a sense of familiarity, and it was clearly related to the huge mantis that Xie Duanyang temporarily lent her.
"Yes, this is the larvae of the golden-backed mantis.
Moreover, this little guy’s qualifications and potential are even higher than those of his parents.”
Xie Duanyang nodded, indicating that what she had in mind was correct.
"This... this thing is too valuable.
Qingxue cannot bear it."
Wan Qingxue took a deep breath and forced her voice not to sound too excited.
She had seen the Golden-backed Demonic Mantis display its power with her own eyes, and Wang Jin, who was in the early stages of foundation building, had no power to fight back in front of it.
With just one knife, even the person carrying the magical weapon was cut open by his waist.
She has also thought about what would happen if she owned such a powerful spiritual beast countless times.
But Wan Qingxue never imagined that her dream would be so easy to realize.
"Although this spiritual insect has good potential, even with the insect breeding skills, it is not easy to cultivate. It is not as precious as fellow Taoists think.
What’s more, Qu doesn’t have the habit of taking back gifts given out.”
Having said this, Wan Qingxue could no longer refuse. She carefully kept the amber and jade slips close to her body and continued to listen to Xie Duanyang's follow-up arrangements.
Actually it’s nothing.
It is Xie Duanyang's plan that when she builds the foundation meeting, the market will be truly open for operation.
And she took advantage of these few months to discuss with the family clans in Huayu Country and even several neighboring countries to purchase and approve the basic materials needed for practice.
The amount doesn’t have to be too big, but the most basic things are still needed.
Just sending out Qi-training monks is too light, and running there more than ten times is not as good as showing up with Foundation-building monks.
After Wan Qingxue failed to build the foundation, she left the sect and returned to the family, where she managed affairs for several years.
In addition, she comes from a family of cultivators, so she is no stranger to these things.
Although according to her original intention, she hopes to be able to practice in seclusion all the time and ignore these secular affairs.
But Wan Qingxue knows better that even a pill-forming monk cannot just practice hard and needs to earn cultivation resources.
Besides, this was also her duty, so she immediately agreed, just making a request.
"Although Huayu Country is small, it still has several states.
What's more, many resources are not produced in China, so they have to go to other countries to purchase them.
Qingxue alone may not be able to complete the journey within this period of time."
Observing Xie Duanyang's expression, Wan Qingxue carefully considered her words.
"If Brother Qu doesn't dislike it, there are still a few relatives in the Qingxue family who might be able to help."
Those who come to the Flower Language Country are just one of the tens of thousands of families in Kuya Mountain.
Because there was only one old man who built the foundation, things were really unsatisfactory after I came here.
Now that Wan Qingxue has established a foothold here, if she can, of course she would also like to bring some of her relatives here to give them a place to stay.
Her third grandpa is already old, he has not passed away for a long time, and his cultivation level is only in the middle stage.
Now that Wan Qingxue has successfully established the foundation, she can easily take over its dominance without spending too much effort, and even the clan elder has to be grateful for his support.
This move is not only beneficial to the development of Luanhua Mountain, but also allows you to find some helpers to handle these mundane tasks, so that you can practice with peace of mind.
But she was also worried that this move would arouse Xie Duanyang's dissatisfaction, and felt that she was taking this opportunity to embezzle power and dispatch people.
Although the facts are not much different.
"Everything in Luanhua Mountain is waiting for prosperity, but there is a lack of trustworthy monks.
If Wan Jia is serious about it, then it would be great."
Xie Duanyang is well aware of Wan Qingxue's thoughts, but these are just trivial matters to him.
Even if Wanjia becomes the climate here in the future, as long as we don’t get to the root of it, it means nothing.
Therefore, he didn't care and agreed easily.
When Wan Qingxue saw this, she was completely relieved.
She didn't even bother to break the seal of the golden-backed demon mantis larvae and cast a spell to refining it and recognize its master.
After simply packing up, we hurried out for a long trip to the mountains.
As for Xie Duanyang, he was fine for a while and returned to the wooden house he built with his own hands.
I haven’t seen you for several months, and the weather here has also changed drastically.
It is obviously winter when all life is gone and no vegetation can be seen.
But this place is full of life, as if spring has arrived.
