Chapter 282 The situation in the north of the mountain
Because Wang Daoyuan attracted too much limelight during the duel between the two sects, so many people knew him, so naturally they did not dare to show his true colors to others.
He had always looked like a young man, but he used the art of disguise to change his appearance into that of a weather-beaten middle-aged man.
He used the Hidden Spirit Technique to suppress his cultivation to the fourth level of foundation building before entering Guiyanfang City.
After walking a few steps, I saw a middle-aged Qi practitioner coming to talk to me.
The person who came was an acquaintance, it was Fu Cheng, the broker he met when he first came to Yanfang City.
More than twenty years have passed, and Fu Chengxian has become much older, but his cultivation has improved a bit, and he is now at the fifth level of Qi training.
In the brokerage profession, there is basically no time to practice, and only monks who have no hope in their path will choose this profession.
It's not easy for this guy to improve his cultivation.
Fu Cheng bowed his hands to Wang Daoyuan and said, "Is this the first time for this senior to come to Guiyanfang City? This junior has lived here since he was a child and knows Guiyanfang City very well.
No matter what the seniors want to buy, the juniors can help them find the right store."
Wang Daoyuan laughed with a vicissitudes of voice: "I traveled here more than fifty years ago, and then went to look for opportunities elsewhere.
A few years ago, I heard that the Netherworld Sect wanted to take action against Shanbei, but I wonder how the situation here has changed?"
Fu Cheng had a look of embarrassment on his face and said, "Even the juniors don't dare to say it in public."
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said: "Take me to an inn run by a half-demon force. The half-demon force running the inn must be neutral. I don't want to get involved in a battle between big forces."
After that, he handed a piece of spiritual stone to Fu Cheng.
Fu Cheng took the spirit stone and promised with a smile: "Don't worry, I promise to satisfy senior."
After that, he took Wang Daoyuan to an inn. On the plaque in front of the inn, there were four characters "Golden Bull Inn" written on it.
Fu Cheng smiled and said: "Senior, this Jinniu Inn is a business of the Jinniu tribe.
The Jinniu tribe is extremely powerful. There are two Jinniu monks in the tribe, and they never get involved in disputes with other forces.
Although the seniors of the Taurus tribe have bad tempers, they are still very kind as long as you don't provoke them."
Wang Daoyuan took Fu Cheng into the inn and opened an upper room.
He scanned the entire room with his consciousness and found nothing monitoring or listening.
Then, he took out a sound-isolating array disk, placed the spiritual stones, and the sound-isolating array was turned on, covering the entire room.
Wang Daoyuan took out ten spiritual stones and asked, "Can we talk now?"
Fu Cheng quickly took the spirit stone and replied: "The reconciliation between the Netherworld Sect and the Yao Clan has not been a big deal in the past fifty years.
That is, about fifty years ago, the Guiyuan Sword Sect suddenly became extremely high-profile and began to expand its industry, doing all kinds of business, and recruiting a large number of casual cultivators.
Especially the monks who are proficient in alchemy and talismans, the Guiyuan Sword Sect does not hesitate to use force to bring them under its command.
However, Guiyuan Sword Sect has been hiding very well and has an excellent reputation among casual cultivators in this area.
About twenty years ago, there was a senior Huang Wanli who was proficient in alchemy and amulet and opened an elixir shop in Fangshi.
The Guiyuan Sword Sect forced him to join several times, but Senior Huang did not dare to forcefully refuse, and agreed to help the Guiyuan Sword Sect refine elixirs and make talismans.
But the Guiyuan Sword Sect was still unwilling to give in. When Senior Huang and another senior went out to search for the elixir, they sent experts to chase them, hoping to catch Senior Huang and kidnap him into the mountain gate.
This senior Huang was also very capable. Faced with being chased by the sixth-level monks of the Guiyuan Sword Sect, he escaped thousands of miles away with the third-level foundation cultivation of the Guiyuan Sword Sect and accused the Guiyuan Sword Sect of his crimes along the way.
Senior Huang's cultivation level was always too low, and in the end he could only lure the masters of Guiyuan Sword Sect into the group of monsters.
After a bloody battle, there was no news from Senior Huang or the masters from Guiyuan Sword Sect.
The story that the Guiyuan Sword Sect forcibly abducted monks who were proficient in alchemy and talisman formations and entered the sect has spread in this area.
Other forces also beat up the fallen dogs and brought out some shameful things from the Guiyuan Sword Sect.
Since then, the reputation of the Guiyuan Sword Sect has been completely ruined, business has been difficult, and no one is willing to join the Guiyuan Sword Sect.
More than ten years ago, the Netherworld Sect said that the Guiyuan Sword Sect was a remnant of the Zhao family and was coming to conquer them.
However, both the demon clan and the half-demon do not agree with the Netherworld Sect's monks crossing back to Yanshan Mountain in large numbers.
The Netherworld Sect had no choice but to send a small number of foundation-building and Zifu monks into the north of the mountain.
While discussing with the demon clan and half-demon, he also peeked into the reality of the Guiyuan Sword Sect.
Foundation-building monks from both sides often fight outside Guiyanfang City, resulting in casualties on each other.
Since then, the Nether Sect has also strengthened its power in Guiyanfang City.
In the past, the Netherworld Sect had only one Zifu monk stationed in Guiyanfang City, but now there are three stationed there, and there are sixty or seventy Foundation Establishment monks.
The reputation of the Guiyuan Sword Sect was completely ruined, and it was suppressed by the Netherworld Sect. It has long lost its arrogance, its business is now sluggish, and its disciples rarely show up.
There was also the Nether Sect's residence in Guiyanfang City a few years ago, where foundation-building monks dressed as casual cultivators often came and went.
These foundation-building monks dressed as casual cultivators left Guiyanfang City and headed due north. They would be back in a few days. Some of the monks were still injured.
The younger generation doesn't know what they are going to do.
This situation lasted intermittently for four or five years, and then stopped.
In recent years, the situation has been very stable, and there has been little movement from various forces.
The structure of Guiyanfang City has not changed significantly, and the division of forces remains the same as before.
The south of Fang City is the territory of the Nether Sect, the north is the territory of the demon tribe, the east is a mixture of multiple half-demon tribes, and the west is the sphere of influence of the Shanbei human race.
Most of the shops of the Guiyuan Sword Sect, other small sects, and the Immortal Cultivation Family are located in the west of Fang City.
There are shops for casual cultivators everywhere. If seniors want to open a shop, it is best to open a shop in the central and eastern parts of the country.
In the central region, various forces are mixed, and no one dares to cause trouble easily.
All the half-demon forces in the east have a neutral attitude and have no alliances. As long as they don't deliberately cause trouble, no one will care about their business."
Wang Daoyuan asked: "How do you know I want to do business here?"
Fu Cheng smiled and said: "Young people rely on their eyesight to make a living. If seniors only stay here temporarily, how can they inquire about the situation?
Senior, take ten spiritual stones and ask me about these things that are not secrets. The most likely reason is that you are here to do business."
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said: "I want to open a shop for refining weapons here. Help me find a suitable shop. The benefits will be yours."
Fu Cheng bowed and saluted: "Senior, don't worry, I will help you find a suitable store right now, and I will definitely reply to you within three days.
The junior's name is Fu Cheng. If the senior wants to see me for anything, just tell the shopkeeper."
After that, he turned around and left the room.
Wang Daoyuan put away the soundproof formation and thought to himself.
According to what Fu Cheng said, a few years ago the Nether Sect sent foundation-building monks to explore north of Guiyanfang City. They returned injured a few days later.
Most likely, he went to the Baojing Lake Oasis to find a place with pure yin energy.
There was a monk who returned injured, probably because of a fight with that old boy Chen Ji.
It seems that his strategy of borrowing a knife to kill people worked. After the foundation-building monks sent by Netherworld Sect were injured, they dared to continue sending foundation-building monks, which means that the enemy's cultivation level should not have reached the level of Zifu.
Chen Ji is still a foundation-building monk, which is good news for Wang Daoyuan.
Establishing the foundation to open up the Zifu is a process of qualitative change. No matter how strong the peak foundation-building monk is, it will be difficult to defeat the early-stage monks in the Zifu.
If a Foundation Establishment monk can withstand a few moves from a Zifu monk, he can be said to be invincible at the same level.
Green Liuzhou Shi Zhenbang took one move from Zhou Qi and then retreated, attracting countless casual cultivators to defect to him.
Wang Daoyuan didn't dare to fight against the monks of Zifu. Chen Ji hadn't opened Zifu yet, so it would be easy to handle.
As long as the Purple Mansion is not opened, no matter how strong the foundation is, it will still be a foundation. With your own strength, you have a chance to win.
