Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 356 Territory Establishment
next moment.

Mu Ningxue continued, "Someone deliberately obstructed and concealed the truth from us. I didn't know that the Magic Association had a gray assessment of this land before I bought it."

“This piece of land is excellent in every aspect. If we can resolve the assessment issue, its value far exceeds the money I spent in the auction, and it is also very suitable for future development.”

"The Mu family has made their move," Fang Yu informed Mu Ningxue.

Upon hearing this, Mu Ningxue immediately frowned, feeling a slight displeasure in her heart. As expected, she had encountered obstacles.

In fact, she could vaguely guess that the reason she was being targeted was because of the Mu family.

Fang Yu smoothed her brow: "Leave the rest to me. We'll sweep the mountain, and then the people from the Magic Association will come and evaluate it. If the evaluation is fine, they're just asking for trouble by lying through their teeth."

Each clan, family, and family has its own private territory, which is guarded by the clan's own mage. However, to ensure the safety of these private territories, the Magic Association conducts an annual assessment and collects feedback from local hunters. If any potential dangers are discovered, the clan will be immediately required to conduct a territory cleanup.

Fang Yu's use of the remaining Earth Core energy to suppress the Totem Serpent was undoubtedly the safest option.

Mu Ningxue hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, I already cleaned the land when I bought it. If I were to clean it again, I wouldn't have the money for that right now."

“With the Essence of the Earth, one day is enough,” Fang Yu said.

Mu Ningxue looked at him, her eyes filled with confusion.

The Earth's Essence is something that concerns the safety of a city; how could Fang Yu possibly possess it?

Fang Yu took out the Core of Earth from the contract space. Mu Ningxue was surprised and happy when she saw it.

……

The two arrived at the land in Asuka City on the second night.

As for why it's the second day, it's because of the surprise of the Earth's Core. When emotions run deep, those who understand will understand.

……

The land that Mu Ningxue bought is located north of Asuka City. It is a very special piece of land, which is a flat piece of land carved out by two narrow mountain ranges. The terrain is higher than that of Asuka City.

The mountain range to the west is called Feiyue Mountain, which is a very good mountain barrier that keeps the demons of Nanling outside the mountain boundary. Most of the demons of Nanling will not cross this mountain range to come here to attack humans.

The mountain on the east side facing the sea is called Shuangyang Mountain. It consists of two large mountains with a valley river between them, connecting this land of Yueyang and allowing it to reach the sea!

This land, if you keep going north, will pass through Hangzhou and lead directly to Shanghai.

Heading south, you'll find yourself very close to Asuka City, less than ten kilometers away.

Fang Yu took out the Core of Earth, and in an instant, a faint radiance suddenly appeared in the black night sky.

The radiance was faint and beautiful in the darkness, like a thin aurora covering the earth beneath the sky, and its perfect bluish-brown arc was filled with a special kind of mystery.

Once the Guardian Realm is formed, all the demons in this territory will be marked by its radiant light, and none will be able to escape, not even the dark insectoids hiding beneath the soil...

Therefore, the cleanup work becomes quite simple: remove all the potential danger demons that have been marked by the Guardian Realm, and then obtain certificates from the military, local magic associations, hunter alliances, and local governments. In that case, the Ya'an Realm can be completely incorporated into the An Realm area!
The sweeping of the Earth's Core is the most authoritative proof of safety, and the Magic Association headquarters has no right to question a piece of land that has been swept by the Guardian Realm.

At this moment, Fang Yu took out the totem bead. Yesterday, Fang Yu had Tang Yue send someone to deliver the totem bead.

At this moment, the totem serpent leaped out, unleashing the aura of a monarch-level demon. The demons marked by Hua Guang were completely powerless to resist and were being rapidly dealt with.

Time passed, and the cleanup mission had been going on for half a day. The main problem was that the Xuan Snake couldn't use the Poison Mist Domain, otherwise it would shatter the environment, which caused the delay.

This place is now an absolutely safe human territory.

Not long after they had settled down here, Mu Zhuoyun also arrived.

When Mu Zhuoyun learned about what had happened here, he was both surprised and excited, because this was his daughter's territory.

To put it bluntly, the local tyrant of Bocheng has been sitting on the throne for too long, and living under someone else's roof is not an easy life.

Mu Zhuoyun glanced at her daughter, then looked at Fang Yu and said, "Fang Yu?"

“Uncle,” Fang Yu replied.

After greeting Fang Yu, Mu Zhuoyun asked Mu Ningxue, "Have you decided what name to give your clan?"

Mu Ningxue spoke directly: "The Fang family."

Now it's just a clan, but in the future it will become the Fang family, or even more likely the Lin family.
At this moment, Mu Zhuoyun was also somewhat surprised, but he did not speak immediately. Instead, he planned to ask his daughter privately.

Fang Yu paused, realizing that this person intended to establish a clan based on their own surname. He stated bluntly, "You know I don't care about these things, and this is the place of your dreams."

However, Mu Ningxue persisted.

"Snow City," Fang Yu could only say reluctantly. If he named it "Fang Clan," it would make the people from the Mu family who came with him feel no sense of belonging. Besides, this was the dream place he had promised Mu Ningxue, and he didn't want to get too involved.

Mu Ningxue was somewhat resistant when she heard the name, but she agreed after Fang Yu insisted.

Afterwards, Fang Yu had to hand over the totem bead to the person sent by Tang Yue, so he left temporarily. "Xuexue, how much money did you invest in building this city? And what is your relationship with Fang Yu?" Mu Zhuoyun asked curiously as Fang Yu left.

"I've invested myself." Mu Ningxue seemed quite happy, it was rare for her to joke with Mu Zhuoyun.

Mu Zhuoyun was stunned. It seemed that Mu Ningxue had never been so relaxed since she started cultivating, let alone had such a heartfelt smile.

Although the term "ice queen" sounds appealing, Mu Zhuoyun knew best that Mu Ningxue's life was far from happy.

It wasn't that she was inherently like that, nor was it an act; it was just that the coldness within her body constantly spurred her on.

Just now, Mu Zhuoyun seemed to see Mu Ningxue from her childhood again.

“Dad, I’m where I am today thanks to Fang Yu’s help. Without him, I wouldn’t be where I am now.” Mu Ningxue added when she saw Mu Zhuoyun remain silent.

“No, Dad just feels that you haven’t been this genuinely happy in a long time,” Mu Zhuoyun said.

……

At this time, when Fang Yu arrived in Shanghai to return the totem bead, he found Dean Xiao.

Upon learning that Fang Yu was going to establish a family, Dean Xiao was very happy for him. After all, Fang Yu was his most outstanding student, and although there was no formal master-disciple relationship, there was still the grace of teaching him.

They also said that he could let them know if he needed any help.

Fang Yu had been waiting for this, and immediately said that he would come to his family to set up the water circulation array after Dean Xiao completed it.

If the water circulation array can be used on the land that Mu Ningxue bought, it can protect the safety of that place to a greater extent.

Upon hearing that Fang Yu wanted the patent, Dean Xiao glared at him and said, "You really know how to pick things for me. This Water Vein Circulation Array is something I've worked on for ten years. It was finally successful, and now you're asking me for it."

"Hehe, Dean Xiao, isn't your formation a blessing to mankind? Look how famous Pearl Academy is now, and I deserve a lot of credit for it. As my teacher, shouldn't you pass on your knowledge to your student without reservation?" Fang Yu said shamelessly.

In fact, Fang Yu also knew that Dean Xiao's formation was extremely valuable, practically a patented invention worth fighting for. He believed that it wouldn't be long before various governments, militaries, and clans would come to him, requesting Dean Xiao to set up such a formation for them as well. Even on the international stage, this formation was quite formidable.

"This formation can't be set up just anywhere. It's very particular about the water veins. If the water veins aren't suitable, they need to be artificially altered. As you know, many water veins pass through demonic lands. If you alter their water veins, they will absolutely rush at you and fight you to the death," Dean Xiao said.

"Don't worry, leave this little thing to me," Fang Yu assured him, patting his chest.

Dean Xiao finally agreed. But at that moment, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He had acted hastily and said it too early. He was an old man, and he didn't want to go through all this trouble.

……

After finishing his conversation with Dean Xiao, Fang Yu returned to Snowmoon City, found Mu Ningxue, and asked, "The conditions are met, so how do we establish it now?"

Mu Ningxue said, "You don't need to worry about that, I've already arranged it."

"So, I'm just a tool?" Fang Yu asked, pointing to himself.

"If that's how you interpret it, then I have nothing to say." Mu Ningxue winked as she spoke.

Having grown accustomed to her icy demeanor, seeing Mu Ningxue's charming and delicate appearance was a pleasant surprise.

Fang Yu felt it was necessary to give her a vivid lesson!

In the middle of nowhere, a sudden exchange of ice and fire took place...

After one hour.

"Thank you, Fang Yu." Mu Ningxue looked at the land shrouded in the protective barrier. The beautiful sky was so reassuring and filled her with anticipation.

"If you really want to thank me, then grant me a few small requests." Fang Yu smiled.

In an instant, Mu Ningxue glared at Fang Yu and slapped his mischievous hand away.

……

And through the core of the barrier, Snowmoon City was thoroughly cleaned up.

I'm sure it will make the headlines the very next day.

While it hasn't yet attracted a large number of magicians, its reputation has certainly taken off.

The reputation that Mu Ningxue has made is naturally the last thing the Mu clan wanted to see. People already knew that the Mu clan had abandoned Mu Ningxue during the competition for world universities, and now that Mu Ningxue has established her own school and made such a sensation, it's a huge slap in the face to the Mu clan! A scorching, burning slap!

Soon after, the Mu family held a small meeting.

Mu Ningxue's departure had no impact on the Mu Clan's overall power, but it did cause a significant blow to their reputation. Knowing that Mu Ningxue had been neglected and expelled before even entering the National Academy, and that she had relied on her own strength to enter the World Academy Competition and eventually gained the support of many people, the Mu Clan's actions had already disheartened many mages who wanted to join them.

Now that Mu Ningxue has set up her own business again, it's like bringing this conflict back into the public eye. People are discussing this matter, which has led even more people to question the Mu family.

This kind of questioning cannot cause any real damage to the Mu family, but many mages who are hesitant about which family to join or whether to do business with the Mu family will easily switch to their side. After all, there are several other families that are also very good!
