Mangshanfang City is located in the north of Taiqiu Mountain. If you follow the family's turtle caravan, it will take you a month.
Previously, the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain did not care much about this small city controlled by three casual cultivators, but recently due to the sect relocation operation carried out by the Corpse Ghost Sect, most of the disciples of the Corpse Ghost Sect were sent to the Hengduan Mountains
.
This directly resulted in the many mineral veins near Ghost Peak not having enough disciples to mine them.
At the same time, the Corpse Ghost Sect needs a large amount of ore to build a new sect station in Yunfeng, so it is impossible to let these mineral veins lie abandoned like this.
After discussion among several Jindan stage elders of the Corpse Ghost Sect, it was decided that the manpower shortage in the mine would be recruited from casual cultivators.
It is difficult for casual cultivators to earn spiritual stones, so as soon as they heard the recruitment information of the Corpse Ghost Sect, they flocked from all over the country, and Mangshanfang City, which is closest to the mines of the Corpse Ghost Sect, naturally became their best choice.
A place to stay.
Due to the large influx of casual practitioners in a short period of time.
Mangshanfang City, which originally had only two streets, quickly expanded to five.
Li Changji had a vicious eye, and as soon as the Corpse Ghost Sect released the news of recruiting casual cultivators for mining, he saw the hidden interests in it.
So not only did he personally go to Mangshanfang City to find the leader of the foundation-building casual cultivator, but he also sent Li Xuanshan to discuss the specific matters of the family's purchase of a shop.
...
The foundation for the establishment of Mangshanfang City is a spiritual mountain with a second-level mid-grade spiritual vein, which is called Mangshan. The entire city spreads out layer by layer around this Mangshan Mountain.
Today, Mangshan Mountain is densely covered with caves for monks to practice, and many of them have been opened recently. However, due to the influx of too many monks at one time, the caves on Mangshan Mountain are still very nervous.
.
This is also something that the three foundation-building casual cultivators who control Mangshan have been very troubled by recently.
In order to obtain maximum benefits, they have made full use of the spiritual veins on Mangshan Mountain, but it is still not enough to meet the cultivation needs of all the monks in Fang City.
This is destined to lead some monks in Mangshanfang City to fall into the dilemma of having no caves to use and can only rely on elixirs and spiritual stones for cultivation.
...
When they were about to arrive at the bustling Mangshanfang City, Li Xuanshan was introducing some brief information to Li Xuangang.
Finally, he continued:
"But Ninth Brother, you don't have to worry. The Eighth Uncle took this situation into consideration from the beginning, so he personally went out to buy a store near the foot of Mangshan Mountain from those foundation-building casual cultivators. Each store has three caves for cultivation.
, so we don’t have to compete with those casual cultivators.”
"We?" Li Xuangang was a little confused.
As soon as Li Xuangang mentioned the key point of the problem, Li Xuanshan's face, which had been cheerful just now, suddenly fell.
He replied in a decadent tone:
"Before coming here, my eighth uncle arranged for me to manage the grain store here. He said that I have a talent for business, so he asked me to accumulate experience first. After I enter the ninth level of Qi Refining, he will let me be a member of the Elephant Turtle Beast Caravan.
Team leader."
"But Ninth Brother, you know that I don't like to stay in one place for a long time. Last time I stayed in Donghaifang City for a few years, it almost drove me crazy. Now, although the Eighth Uncle promised that as long as I break through to Refining
Give me the Elephant Turtle Beast Caravan when you reach the ninth level of Qi, but I'm not like Second Brother and Ninth Brother, who break through whenever you want. Once I stay in this grain store, I don't know how long I will stay...
..."
Li Xuangang didn't feel that before, but now he feels that Li Xuanshan is a bit too talkative. There seems to be endless things to say in his chubby mouth.
Finally, after seeing that Ninth Brother Li Xuangang was a little impatient, Li Xuanshan wisely shut his mouth.
His ears finally calmed down, and he began to seriously look at Mangshanfang City, which was getting closer and closer in his sight.
Because Mangshanfang City is expanding recently, the turtle beast of the family cannot enter, so they have to stop on a flat land outside Fang City like the caravans of other forces.
After getting off the turtle beast, Li Xuangang casually looked at the casual cultivators entering and leaving Mangshanfang City. He found that most of them were in the early or middle stages of Qi refining. Only a small number had reached the late stage of Qi refining.
, as for the monks at the ninth level of Qi Refining inside, they are even rarer.
After observing for a while, I only saw a few.
Li Yuxian also came out of the caravan and stood next to Li Xuangang. Behind them, Li Xuanshan was directing the tribesmen to unload supplies and prepare to break into the family alchemy pavilion and grain store at the foot of Mangshan Mountain.
Carrying some resources for setting up the Alchemy Pavilion on his body, Li Xuangang slowly walked through one of the streets in Mangshanfang City.
The shops on both sides of this street are very new and seem to have been built recently.
At the end of this street, at the foot of Mangshan Mountain, Li Xuangang finally saw the alchemy pavilion purchased by his family, and a few shops away to the right was the grain store that Li Xuanshan needed to stay at.
Taking out a black token, Li Xuangang poured some spiritual power into it, and the next moment the restriction guarding the alchemy pavilion was closed. Seeing that Uncle Jiu had closed the restriction, Li Yuxian beside him hurriedly stepped forward and took the lead.
Push the door open and wait for him to enter.
...
At nightfall, Li Xuangang had already arranged the Alchemy Pavilion, and all the resources brought from the family had been registered and stored in the warehouse one by one.
After the resources carried by the family's turtle caravan were unloaded, they were already on their way back to Taiqiu Mountain.
Li Xuangang stood in the lobby of the Alchemy Pavilion and found that the scale of this Alchemy Pavilion was too small compared to other properties of the family.
No wonder, before setting off, his eighth uncle told him with certainty that his alchemy skills could fully support this alchemy pavilion.
Of course, the reason why this Alchemy Pavilion is so small is also because it is limited by the size of Mangshanfang City itself.
Naturally, Mangshanfang City cannot be compared with Binhaifang City or Wujiangfang City. With the purchase volume of the monks in Mangshanfang City, I think that I and Li Yuxian can handle it enough.
He led Li Yuxian through the lobby and came to the backyard of the Alchemy Pavilion. There were three caves in the backyard near the mountain.
Li Xuangang asked Li Yuxian to choose one first, and then he entered the cave on the far left at will.
Normally, the three foundation-building casual cultivators in Mangshanfang City would not sell such stores with their own caves, but their strength was too weak. Under the pressure of Li Changji from the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain, they
They had no choice but to sell.
The cultivation level of these three casual cultivators is not high, one of them is in the early stage of foundation building, and the remaining two are only in the middle stage of foundation building.
Having been in this area for nearly two hundred years, they have naturally heard of the name of the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain, and naturally know that the patriarch of the Li family, Li Changqing, is not easy to mess with.
Although he only has cultivation in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, his strength is comparable to that of monks at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Especially since I heard that he has been in seclusion for more than 20 years, and maybe he will enter the peak of Foundation Establishment after leaving seclusion. Offending this kind of person
It is really not a wise move for a powerful family in the foundation building stage.
In fact, for them, the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain was just one of the families that came to bully them. Other powerful forces had already bullied them before.
Since it is no longer possible to completely protect this interest, it is better to accept the conditions proposed by these families happily.
These three casual cultivators are also smart. They know that from another aspect, with the presence of these families, Mangshanfang City can attract more cultivators, and the greater the benefits they can obtain.
Although it may not be possible to keep this interest, at least no force wants to use force now.
Li Xuangang was a smart man. After hearing from Li Xuanshan that his eighth uncle Li Changji had come in person, he roughly guessed the origin of these two shops.
The rules of this world have not changed. Whoever has the biggest fist still has the final say.
In this competition for interests, my family was the one with the bigger fist, forcing the casual cultivators in Mangshanfang City to give up their profits.
After coming out of the cave and looking at the small backyard, Li Xuangang began to guess that maybe these two shops did not cost the family too much spiritual stone.
...
Viewed from the sky, Mangshan is a small black spot. Around it, five streets are evenly spread out.
On one of the innermost streets, Li Xuangang was sitting in the backyard of the Alchemy Pavilion, and in front of him was Li Yuxian, who was practicing alchemy with him.
The uncle and nephew were talking about something at this time.
Continuing to look out from Mangshanfang City, there are dozens of different mineral veins within a few hundred miles nearby. The ores in these veins are constantly being mined, and then batches are collected by the Corpse Ghost Sect.
His disciples were transported to Yunfeng in the Hengduan Mountains.
Li Xuangang's cultivation career in Mangshanfang City began!
