Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 20 Preparation
"Don't cry, little girl. Master, you are really a fool. As the leader of a sect, why do you bully a little girl?"

After returning to Yuan Jin's courtyard, Dong Wanxi was so distressed that she hurriedly wiped Mo'er's face and changed her outer clothes.

The two little treasures stared around with wide eyes, looking curiously. Dong Ningxin had always been a hot-tempered person, but this was the first time in all the years since she got married that she spoke harshly to Kang Dabao.

"Ning Xin!" Yuan Jin shouted with a dark face.

"Okay, okay, I didn't want to do that either, but who knew that Huo Ying couldn't get in. I just wanted to give her a little extra to piss her off, but who would have thought that she would actually give it to me. This is a seedling with spiritual roots, she was really willing to give it to me."

Kang Dabao also had a look of disgust. That woman was too good at business. She was so good that he even gave up the idea of ​​using the bone sword to bargain. If he did, she would cut him with a knife.

"If it really doesn't work, let her practice with Yundao and Anle first. It's no wonder she's willing to give it to a fake spiritual root."

Jiang Qing took out the spirit-measuring ruler and shook his head.

"Fake spiritual roots?" Kang Dabao laughed bitterly. With such aptitude and this girl's surname is not Han, there is no telling whether this girl can reach the middle stage of Qi training if she practices hard until she is ninety years old.

Dong Ningxin wanted to say something, but seeing that Yuan Jin looked unhappy, Dong Wanxi pulled her sister's clothes to stop Dong Ningxin from saying anything.

“A fake spiritual root is still a spiritual root, right? There are only two or three of them at home now. Even if they are only at the Qi training level, they can plant spiritual fields on the mountain in the future and become a farmer. It shouldn’t be a problem.

You can raise the second child as your daughter. She is sensible and can help share some of the burdens of the two younger siblings."

Kang Dabao's words made the final decision, and the three brothers no longer took this little matter to heart.

Seeing that Mo'er still had tears in her eyes, the Dong sisters couldn't bear it.

Come to think of it, a little girl in her early teens was sent away like a piece of extra cargo. Anyone who heard about it would feel sorry for her.

"When you have time, go ask Huo Ying whether this girl's family members are safe in the Illusion Sword Alliance's base. If so, ask her to send them over as well.

I think he is probably from a mortal family with no foundation. If he had a little status, that woman would not have sent him out without blinking an eye. There is no reason for her to make things difficult for him. It is just a matter involving a few hundred mortals, so it should not be difficult to handle. "

Kang Dabao felt his face getting hot under the gaze of this little girl, so he turned sideways and spoke to Yuan Jin.

After he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and added: "If that woman brings up the matter of spirit stones, forget it, don't even think about it!"

Yuan Jin nodded in agreement.

Mo'er was already old enough to be a governor. After listening to Kang Dabao's arrangements, he sensed that Kang Dabao and others were not bad people. With the help of the Dong sisters, he kept comforting her. Her tears gradually stopped, and she only sobbed from time to time.

Kang Dabao arranged everything, and Yuan Jin told the Dong sisters to go down with the bunch of dolls. Then the three brothers sat together again and started talking about business.

"Have you made an agreement with the He family's boss? When will we set off?" Kang Dabao asked with concern.

"Eight days later in the morning, at Miaoyunzhai, I will be with the second brother of the He family." Jiang Qing seemed a little excited when talking about it.

"Why do the He brothers always like to do serious work? They don't act like serious people." Kang Dabao said disdainfully after taking a sip of the cold tea that Dong Ningxin had brought to him.

"The second son of the He family is still a little inferior to the eldest son. You should get used to the Seven Stars Heart-Severing Sword and don't use it normally. If it's not necessary, use your original three-turn Qingfeng Sword and use it when it's necessary. I'm afraid that the robbers are not the only ones who are interested in a first-class flying sword."

Yuan Jin also gave instructions.

"Junior brother, that's a relief." Jiang Qing nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Kang Dabao and Yuan Jin looked at each other and shook their heads. They were really afraid that this junior brother would be sold out.

However, there is still some relationship between Chongmingzong and the He family. The biological mother of the eldest son of the He family is the younger sister of the master's wife of Kang Dabao and his three brothers.

The few of them had interacted a lot when they were young, and the eldest son of the He family had a good reputation in the vicinity, so he could take care of things to some extent, which made Kang Dabao feel more at ease.

Looking at the items he bought for Jiang Qing again, he felt a lot more relieved. Life is good as long as he has spirit stones to use.

The first-class middle-grade treasure light mirror, which is both offensive and defensive, is not inferior to the golden armor round shield of the fourth child of the Liu family;
The first-level middle-grade white cloud robe can release the first-level middle-grade cloud hiding technique seven times within ten days, and also comes with two restrictions: "Light Cloud" and "Fast Walk", which allows both hiding and running;

A first-level, mid-grade Fire Spirit Pendant has a half-percent bonus effect on fire spells below the first-level, and can also condense a bright flame shield to protect itself in a critical moment.

In addition, there was a first-grade top-grade Seven-Star Heart-Severing Sword, three bottles of first-grade mid-grade Rejuvenating Pill, half a bottle of first-grade superior Vein-Protecting Pill, forty defensive talismans, twenty offensive talismans, and two gourds of Qinghe Spiritual Wine.

Although this outfit cannot compare with those of a true foundation-building cultivator, it is probably comparable to the core disciples of a foundation-building sect.

For example, the Zifeng Valley foundation seed reviewer I met last time may not be a better match than Jiang Qing.

It is said that among those major sects that have been inscribed with purple seals in the Golden Book of David's Immortal Dynasty, their sword cultivation lineage emphasizes utmost piety in the way of the sword.

As the saying goes, the sword is in the person, and during the practice, no magical tool other than the flying sword will be contaminated. Even the flying sword used will often not be attached with any other magic, as it will be considered insincere and impure.

But the Chongming Sect is a small family and cannot be so particular. If Kang Dabao had more spirit stones, he would have wanted to buy Jiang Qing first-grade socks.

After buying these, Kang Dabao had less than 500 spirit stones left. He simply gave them all to Yuan Jin and asked him to buy some things for himself. This second junior brother had also lived a hard life for many years and it had not been easy for him.

As for himself, the Pojun Hammer that Taoist Wu took out at that time had been kept in Gu Laoliu's storage bag and he had never had the chance to use it. He could take advantage of this.

The mountain-splitting hammer that I used before was just a slightly decent piece of stuff. It wasn't refined into my own magical weapon, so it wasn't worth worrying about.

Although the small golden shield of the fourth son of the Liu family is only of the middle grade of the first level, it has two very practical restrictions, "Rock" and "Golden Light".

It didn't suffer any serious damage in the fierce battle, so it's just right for me to use it now.

It was refined into a magical weapon by the blood of the fourth son of the Liu family. With Kang Dabao's means, it would probably take half a year to polish off this layer of soul imprint. Before that, it would be difficult to operate it proficiently.

My cultivation has been stuck at a bottleneck for these years and I have been obsessed with business, which has really neglected my practice.

Therefore, the fighting skills have not only not made much progress over the years, but have even shown a trend of regression.

Come to think of it, if he had spent more time studying weapon wielding techniques and the golden eyes that could see through illusions, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed when he encountered that fierce battle a few days ago.

Even though the methods of the Four Ghosts of the Liu Family, the Six Ancient Men and others were considered sharp compared to those of the same-level independent cultivators in Yunjiao Province, they were ultimately nothing more than some wild fox Zen. He really had lost the dignity of the cultivators of his sect.

He thought again, “Over the years, I have memorized the difficult formula of the Golden Eyes of Delusion Breaking countless times, and I know the Qi circulation route passed down by the founder of the sect by heart, but I have never been able to understand it.

But it was not until he experienced the great terror of life and death not long ago that he was just about to step into the threshold of this secret art. So what the third brother said is not without reason. I am afraid that I will not be able to practice sword skills if I just sit at home."

"What's the name of the second son of the He family?"

Kang Dabao woke up from his thoughts and couldn't remember the name of the chubby boy who used to visit the clan when he was a child. It was normal that they hadn't been in touch for more than ten years.

"Congratulations, Mr. Degong." Yuan Jin's stay in the city over the years was not in vain. He took over many of the interpersonal relationships of the Chongming Sect, so he was much more familiar with these old friends.

"Oh, I remember now." Kang Dabao nodded and continued, "Compared with his brother He Dezong, his reputation is much weaker. Over the years, he has not made any name for himself by relying on the He family."

"He is not a mediocre person. He has helped the He family manage the caravan over the years without any mistakes. But the eldest brother of the He family is now the current head of the He family. He is only forty years old but has already reached the eighth level of Qi training. He is certainly not comparable to ordinary people."

Yuan Jin followed Kang Dabao's words.

"That's right." Kang Dabao agreed. Among his peers, He Dezong could be considered a standout.

It is probably unknown how many independent Qi-cultivating practitioners there are in the nearby states, but only a little over a hundred are truly recognized as having the potential to "build a foundation".

When my master was still alive, he often sighed that his brother-in-law was so lucky, and his expression looked as if he wanted to snatch He Dezong away and raise him.

Kang Dabao didn't have any jealousy, after all, one of his few good qualities was that he was very willing to admit defeat.
"Big Brother He often came to the sect to discuss Dao with me in the past two years, and I benefited a lot from his advice. But in recent years, there have been more unruly bandits in Jackdaw Mountain. He said he needed to escort a caravan carrying important goods, so he came less often."

Jiang Qing also talked about his relationship with He Dezong.

"Heh." Kang Dabao and Yuan Jin snorted in their hearts at the same time.

What kind of discussion is this? It's nothing more than wanting to deceive other people's children when the adults are not around.

Fortunately, Jiang Qing is such a stupid kid that he doesn't even know how many times the boss of the He family has wielded the hoe openly and secretly, but he still hasn't realized that someone is poaching his people.

Bah! What a shitty old friend, none of them is good!

"That's why I said that this job is not easy. Spiritual stones are earned with one's life." Kang Dabao couldn't change his habit of being long-winded, and took the opportunity to criticize Jiang Qing again.

"Brother, everything we have now was earned with your life." Jiang Qing was silent for a while and said slowly.

Which Qi Refining Stage cultivator could earn so many spirit stones by doing legitimate business?
Jiang Qing and Yuan Jin did not ask any further questions, but they knew in their hearts what their senior brother had done. It must have been a life-threatening business.

".You're just talking nonsense." Hearing this, Kang Dabao turned around and went into the backyard, shouting angrily, "Yundao, Anle, why isn't the pork elbow cooked yet?!"

　I posted it a little late today because I felt the plot was a bit slow, so I wanted to insert two pictures with a faster pace.

　　I wrote it, but after reading it several times, I felt dissatisfied and deleted it.
