Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 70: After the Aftermath, Prosperity

Kang Dabao's arm injury was very serious, and it did not get better even after applying the ointment made from tiger bones by Pei Yi.

Not only did the wound not get better, but the wound wrapped in brocade began to itch, making him very upset.

What made him even more upset was that the last time Jiang Qing, Yuan Jin and Pei Yi joined forces they were unable to keep Shi Xiao.

The three men only killed his nephew and left a big tiger, whose bones were used to make ointment for Kang Dabao.

The cultivators who come from a family are different from ordinary cultivators. They are experienced and not easy to deal with.

It was not until Pingrong County finally sent an official document to the four families in Jackdaw Mountain that Master Kang's mood changed.

The official document read: Shi Li was possessed by a demon and slaughtered nearly 10,000 mortals. He was personally killed by the governor of this state, Huo Bing, along with Chen Ye, the leader of the Grass Witch Cult. The Grass Witch Cult assisted the state court in clearing up the mess, and their merits and demerits were offset. The Shi family of Pingrong was wiped out, and only Shi Xiao was left, and his whereabouts were unknown.

In fact, this news was delivered by Lingyan sent by the one-eyed shopkeeper in Linghe Market ten days ago.

But the content was so sensational that Kangda's leader didn't believe it.

Therefore, he kept the formation tightly closed during these days, and strictly ordered everyone in the sect not to go out. Even the order for Old Donkey to take the spirit beasts to the mountains to graze was temporarily stopped.

It was not until today when he heard the message from the county government that Master Kang finally put his uneasy heart to rest.

According to the provincial court's characterization of the matter, Shi Li's crime this time was serious enough to implicate the entire clan.

Slaughtering nearly ten thousand mortals, even if they are all your own relatives, is a heinous crime.

Yes, even though historians are the real victims in this incident because they are implicated by historical principles, they are also real criminals.

This is how things have always been done in the Xian Dynasty. No matter whether the conviction of the higher-ups is absurd or not, the people working below will only do it meticulously, or even intensify it.

Not to mention that it has been many years since such a vicious case of demonic possession has occurred in Yunjiao Province. Not a single person can escape the net!
The David Immortal Dynasty is now in decline, with only a few people in the entire Yunjiao Province who have established their foundation. However, it is still qualified to manage the Shi family and other Qi-cultivating families without any background.

Governor Huo made it clear that he wanted to use this incident to establish his authority, so he ordered the Pingrong County government and other counties to issue a warrant for Shi Xiao's capture and offer a reward.

The official document clearly stated that no matter his life or death, if he was caught, he would go to the provincial court to claim the reward.

However, this arrest warrant still followed the practice of the Yunjiao Prefecture Court: the amount of reward was not specified as usual, so this document should be as useless as usual.

Even so, Kang Dabao was also interested. If he could get a reward for killing his enemy, even if it was just a broken spirit, why not do it?

Before, when the historian was still alive, he dared to attack Shi Xiao, let alone now that the historian is gone.

Shi Xiao is now just a rootless and wild cultivator, so what is there to be afraid of?

Unfortunately, nearly two months passed and there was no news about Shi Xiao. Kang Dabao temporarily gave up the idea of ​​receiving the spirit stones and focused on recovering from his injuries.

Because of his meritorious service in reporting the truth, Ji Wuwu was accepted into the Chongming Sect as he wished.

The head of the Kang family thought for a long time but could not think of any use for him, so he finally gave him the job of "reporting secrets", which was considered an idle move.

Although the old man is very old, he is very energetic and enjoys traveling back and forth between the neighboring counties every day.

After only half a month, some news came back that was difficult to tell true from false. Kang Dabao also asked Duan Anle to write it down, perhaps it would be useful later.

Anyway, the old cultivator's offerings are not high. He only spends ten spirit stones and five Qi-training powders a year.

Just keep it. Spirit stones are not in short supply now, and Qi-training powder is not rare. Pei Yi can make it. Master Kang is much richer now and can afford to keep it.

It is not easy to get Shi Xiao's spirit stones from the Yunjiaozhou court, but the heads of the four ghosts of the Liu family are still in Kang Dabao's hands. There is a reserve of 2,000 spirit stones, so there is no need to panic.

The independent cultivator named Du was eventually accepted by Kang Dabao. He was accepted because the head of the Lu family complained that the caravan he brought was not full of people, so he could go over to make up the number.

The main reason for hiring him was that he was cheap. The head of Kangda Sect clearly said that he would only give him five spirit stones a year, but he was willing to do it.
However, it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After a few days of comfortable life, Kang Dabao now only has the task of resting and recuperating after cultivation, and he doesn't even want to teach his disciples. Among the remaining disciples, Pei Yi has the best patience. Not only does he have the qualifications of an alchemist, but he is also a good elder who teaches skills, so that the head of Kang Da can be lazy without any psychological burden.

With the destruction of the Shi family, Kang Dabao felt relieved of the burden in his heart, and even his practice of the Golden Eyes of Breaking Delusion gradually improved and he made considerable progress.

Unfortunately, there was no suitable magic weapon, and the Broken Army Hammer was now useless, so Kang Dabao used the silver mace used by Chan Niang and the short blade of the evil grandmother, but he was missing a shield.

The fragments of the golden round shield were shown to Yuan Jin, who bluntly said that he had no ability to repair it, and even if he did, it would definitely not be as cost-effective as refining one.

That's fine. There are plenty of spiritual mines in the sect anyway, so it's better to let Yuan Jin start refining them. It will be a good opportunity for him to practice his skills.

The reason why defensive magic weapons on the market are much more expensive than offensive magic weapons is not only because it is indeed more difficult to engrave magic arrays, but also because more materials are used.

Although it is somewhat difficult for Yuan Jin to refine a mid-grade magic weapon with his current level, fortunately, the refining strategy offered by the guide monk named Du is quite good.

Yuan Jinyan said that the techniques in this book benefited him a lot and was of great help to him.

In addition, the magical instruments used by Kang Dabao are not of the sophisticated type, so the difficulty of refining them is not too great.

Even if Yuan Jin made it a little cruder, it would be fine as long as it was useful. Anyway, Master Kang now relied more on his pair of bright eyes in fighting.

There is no need to worry even if the training is too poor. There are so many young people in the sect still here, just give them the use.

For a group of little guys at the first level of Qi training, even the worst magic weapon would not be a bad one for them.

At the same time, Pei Yi also began to pick up the skill of alchemy.

He learned the skill of alchemy from an uncle named Lian. Uncle Lian liked Pei Yi's intelligence, but could not stand the open and secret fighting among his fellow disciples, so he went traveling alone before Master Kang Dabao passed away.

There has been no news for many years, and no one knows whether he is dead or alive. Therefore, the time that the uncle surnamed Lian taught Pei Yi was not long, less than three years at most.

Since then, Pei Yi's half-baked skills lacked guidance, so he had to work behind closed doors and study the alchemy books left by his ancestors in the sect.

In terms of alchemy attainments, Pei Yi is certainly much better than Kang Dabao and others, but he can only be considered to have barely reached the threshold of a first-level alchemist.

This continued for several years, and in recent years, Pei Yi had been traveling around with Pei Que, so his alchemy skills had not improved much.
Now that he had finally settled down, he happened to have hit a bottleneck in his cultivation. Unable to find a solution at the moment, Pei Yi began to seriously study the classic books left by the ancestors of the sect.

Thanks to the fact that Chongming Sect had obtained a lot of low-level spiritual medicines in the previous few suppression of bandits, there were even a few pages of incomplete pill recipes, and there was no shortage of materials for training.

Therefore, if everything goes well, a true alchemist will soon emerge among Kang Dabao's generation of Chongming disciples.

As for Jiang Qing, this junior brother's sixth level of Qi training has become increasingly solid. Once he has recovered from his injuries from the series of battles, he may be able to try to reach the seventh level.

Kang Dabao has been the head of the Chongming Sect for so many years, and is finally going to train a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training!

Under the instruction of their fellow disciples, the boys made great progress, which made Kang Dabao very happy.

Even though his arms were still covered with ointment, this situation did not stop him from imagining the blueprint for the sect's development.

He walked out of the courtyard alone, looking at the bustling scene in front of him, and he was delighted:
"After the spiritual field is well tended, we will have to pick one of the disciples to be the farming master. The magic array of the beast garden should be built first. We don't know which of the disciples has the talent to tame beasts. There are also talisman masters, array masters, and puppet masters. In a few years, it would be best if we could open a market at the foot of the mountain. We in Chongming Sect will also collect some stall fees, even if it's less, even if it's just one broken spiritual seed."

Seeing the Chongming Sect thriving, the head of the sect, Kang Da, was just happily thinking in his heart: "I have secured the position of the founder of the Zhongxing Sect, and no one can stop me!"
