From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 404: Move Everything Away
Chaoju City, Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation.

The Red Eyebrow Patriarch wanted to use the secret method of building the Demon Fairy City in exchange for reconciliation with the Yu family and his own life.

Obviously, this was a very clever idea. They wanted the entire Yu family to move to the desolate sea, isolating the Yu and Mu families from each other spatially and avoiding further enmity.

Yu Shuyang snorted coldly after hearing this and said, "My friend, you have made a very clever calculation. Today I will teach you a lesson. There is an old saying in the human race that when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Do you think that your Mu family has the upper hand today?"

Yu Shuyang waved the Wuzhi Yaocao Sword and took out a grain of Chen soil that he had cultivated. The essence of Yi soil and the magic of Jiachen slowly fell into the Jiuqu yellow sand.

Wood and earth are mutually exclusive. The Red Eyebrow Patriarch felt threatened in an instant and felt a deadly aura, as if nails were stuck in the soles of his feet, causing him to feel a piercing pain all the time.

The Red Eyebrow Patriarch was able to decisively send out the secret method of the Demon Fairy City. He was also a courageous demon. Now he knew Yu Shuyang's bottom line and knew that he had to bleed heavily.

There are two important skills in the negotiation between the two parties. One is to ask for more. As the saying goes: ask for a high price and pay low. If there is a high price, there will naturally be a low price.

Another option is to give more, more than the bottom line. In this way, you can control the other party and make them agree.

"Fellow Daoist, we can discuss this. If you think building a demon city is too troublesome, our Mu family can help with funding, such as earth-energy spiritual materials and construction craftsmen.

Everything can be discussed. Don't damage the harmony between the two families. Feel free to put forward any conditions you have."

The Red Eyebrow Patriarch shouted loudly. At this moment, he no longer cared about gains and losses. If he was killed or disabled today, the Mu family's Demon Fairy City lineage would be finished.

There is no need to wait for the Sick Dragon Ancestor to come back and divide the family. Without the support of the third-grade demon fairy, the Demon Fairy City lineage will inevitably be suppressed, just like how he used means to deal with the Hualong and Three Fairy Islands lineages.

Outside the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand, Mu Lingxian and Yang Fuzi both stopped in front of the formation. The former had too many concerns and did not dare to step into the center of the formation, while the latter wanted to prevent the other party from destroying it.

After all, Yu Shuyang was able to control and threaten the other party only because of the oppression of the current formation. If the Red Eyebrow Patriarch escaped from the formation, the conditions would be difficult to negotiate.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you come and negotiate? Let's agree on the terms as soon as possible to avoid damaging the harmony between the two families." Mu Lingxian said to Yang Fuzi with a smile.

Yang Fuzi glanced at him sideways, uttered a "humph" from his nose, and ignored Mu Lingxian with a charred branch in his hand.

Seeing this situation, Mu Lingxian felt that he had asked for trouble. He was in the most awkward situation at this moment. Chimei took the initiative to discuss the conditions, leaving him no time to speak. He could only wait outside the center of the formation.

In the center of the formation, Yu Shuyang sat cross-legged, quietly pondering the conditions of the Red Eyebrow Patriarch. If the Mu family helped him build a demon fairy city...

The Demon Fairy City reminded him of the Lake Heart Island. He hadn't been back for so long, and he was also a little worried about the Qingqiu Fox.

The Nine Taoist Temples have been built. Once the founding ceremony is held, the Tokai Taoist Temple will be established, and it will inevitably be involved with the Qingqiu Fox Clan in the future.

Although the Taoist Alliance does not restrict races when spreading its magic, it is impossible to accept all fox demons. After a long time, won’t the inheritance of the magic be disrupted?
Yu Shuyang had to think over these things over and over again. That was why he took advantage of the fact that the Emperor of Dongyi sent him to Youdu and did not return to the Qingqiu Lake Island, even though Yin Chenzi was still waiting to teach him how to refine the elixir of immortality.

Previously, it was difficult to find an excuse to move the lake island here. If we build the Fairy City on Hushan Island, can we move the lake island here?

Thinking of this, he thought of Changliu Mountain again. If he wanted to move away, this mountain carried the blessed land opened up by Yu Fu, and it was impossible to stay on Chaoju Island.

Then he thought about the wild horse farm, Li Zhen's Thousand Barrier Cliff, and the Peach and Willow Blessed Land of the Book Fairy Water Monkey, wondering if they should move away together.

On the contrary, the shops in the city are insignificant. The core of Yu's noodle shop is Zhicao and Yunwu tea. As long as these are controlled, it doesn't matter who owns the shop.

Just like Hushan Island, Yu Shuyang completely let it go, and the Zhitian Tea Garden didn't see any decline in its prospects, so why bother to tie Yu Mu and Yu Bajie up in the noodle shop?

On the contrary, the medical clinic of my second sister and her husband's family had to be moved to the desolate sea because of him. It was not as prosperous as Chaoju City there.

Yu Shuyang weighed the pros and cons repeatedly, and finally spoke up, saying, "My friend, I have a few conditions that I need you to agree to. As long as you can do them, everything else will be easy to negotiate.

The first is that my family has several mountains, and you have to help move them to the desolate sea. After all, the Yu family has moved away, so there is no reason to keep the cave and blessed land here."

The Red Eyebrow Patriarch, who had been left out for a long time, heard the response and happily agreed, saying, "Master, you are right. It is indeed not easy for us to stay any longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Red Eyebrow Patriarch also realized that the blessed land of the cave abode was not just a mountain, but also involved a blessed land.

The construction of the Demon Fairy City is like planting a watermelon vine. The mountains attached to the earth veins are like watermelon flowers waiting to bloom and bear fruit, and the caves and blessed lands opened up are like the watermelons produced.

It seems that the mountains and blessed caves are absorbing the earth's energy, but in fact, they are helping the Demon Fairy City share the evil spirits and turbid energy, while stabilizing the earth's energy in the earth veins.

When humans live together for a long time, human Yuan Qi will appear. This is the gathering of human consciousness and can help humans suppress evil spirits and ghosts.

When the demons gather together, they will naturally give birth to a kind of demonic energy, which is the demonic evil qi. This qi is not like the primordial qi of humans, and will only lead the demons to kill each other.

The essence of the demon race is the creatures in nature. When they gather together, natural laws will be produced, just like wolves eat sheep and sheep eat grass.

The purpose of the Demon Fairy City is to break the laws of nature, so it is necessary to dissipate the evil spirits and turbid qi, or even suppress them. This is why the outer island and inner city were designed to allow the demon fairy families to help dissipate the evil spirits and turbid qi.

This is also the fundamental reason why most of the demon fairy families in the five islands of Yazhou are unable to have their descendants inherit the power after the demon fairy dies. They are all affected by the demon energy in the earth and their minds are mostly insane.

Migrating the cave abode to the outer island is like picking watermelons from the vine. Without the cave abode to carry the evil spirit, the evil spirit will inevitably flow back to the Mu family's cave abode.

Before the Red Eyebrow Patriarch could think further, Yu Shuyang's second condition came.

"The second point is also very simple. My family has never built a demon fairy city, so I need your family to hand over the blueprints and the prohibitions first. I think you, my fellow immortals, will understand the connection between them."

Yu Shuyang didn't want the Mu family to help build the Demon Fairy City. After all, the relationship between the two families was not good now, and what if they did something secretly?

To be honest, the method of building a demon fairy city is not unique to the five islands of Yazhou. At least the Fox Kingdom of Qingqiu also has it. Otherwise, how could hundreds of fox cities be built?

"These are all easy to deal with. Why don't you release the magic circle and let's sign a contract?" The Red Eyebrow Patriarch said with a smile.

The Chimei no longer worried about moving the cave abode. One or two cave abodes would not have much impact on Chaoju City. The most important thing now was to send the Yu family away.

"Don't be anxious, my friend. The conditions haven't been finalized yet. You only gave me the magic ban and blueprints, and I can't build it out of thin air. You also said just now that you would give me the earth's spiritual materials, but I still have to trouble you with the materials to build the Demon Fairy City." Yu Shuyang said with a smile.

Yu Shuyang just wanted to vent his frustration, so he would not let the Red Eyebrow Patriarch off easily. He added more conditions one by one.

At the same time, he also wanted to delay time. The disputes over the Nine-bend Yellow Sand, Chentu True Sand, and Microdust Tribulation had never stopped since the beginning of the negotiations.

From the time the Red Eyebrow Patriarch entered the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand, he summoned the Black Tortoise Book and continued to deduce. The tortoise book continued to absorb the energy in the formation, and through deduction and calculation, he actually got a result just now.

The Red Eyebrow Patriarch's cultivation level is at the late third level. Due to a lack of cultivation resources, he cannot break through to the second level. Now, many of his essences have been refined away by the dust calamity, just like pruning side branches of a tree.

Without the extra burden, he could get back to his original source. He no longer needed to absorb the resources for cultivation and he also had the opportunity to attract lightning to overcome the calamity.

This result was naturally not what Yu Shuyang wanted to see. The two sides fought, and in the end the Red Eyebrows gained such a great advantage.

What Yu Shuyang is doing now is to deplete the origin of Chimei, using the magic rhyme of Chentu to disrupt his perception, making him realize that it is not a change in his cultivation, and at the same time, using earth to overcome wood to disrupt his magic rhyme.

He had deduced this result three times. As long as Chimei's source of energy was depleted, when he tried to attract thunder to overcome the tribulation, he would be exhausted and burned to death by thunder and fire.

After hearing the conditions, the Red Eyebrow Patriarch couldn't help but frown and secretly groan in his heart. The Mu family had accumulated a lot of materials for building the Demon Fairy City. If he really gave them to others, he would really be reluctant to do so.

As the saying goes: Good fortune is hard to give up, and superficial wealth is hard to part with. What's more, the Red Eyebrow Patriarch is narrow-minded, otherwise, he would not have been able to secretly suppress the Three Immortal Islands and the Hualong Vein.

Fortunately, the Red Eyebrows were trapped in the Nine-bend Yellow Sand Road and were being exploited all the time by the dust and dirt, so they could not afford to act like a rogue or scheme.

"Fellow Daoist, I promise you all these. Can we sign the contract now?" Chimei was hit by waves of wind and sand, and he felt so painful that his head felt big.

Yu Shuyang chuckled and thought to himself that it was still early and he would have to delay a little longer, so he said, "Don't be anxious, my friend. We have to talk about everything one by one. Let's make all the conditions clear.

Perhaps you don’t know that my family has several shops in Chaoju City, and their business is extremely good. After we move away, I’m afraid we won’t be able to do this business anymore.

We have to talk about this here today.”

Yu Shuyang intentionally delayed time, so he spoke slowly and discussed one point at a time, and used a gentle formation so that the Red Eyebrow Patriarch would be tricked without realizing it.

He was considering whether Li Zhen should move with him. If the Red Eyebrow Patriarch died while undergoing the tribulation, could this huge estate be handed over to his grandson-in-law?

Li Zhen and Mu Lingge are engaged, so there is some room for maneuver. After all, all the business on the island has shifted to the trade route. Starting with the talisman money, they can force the Mu family to obey and cooperate.

The more Yu Shuyang thought about it, the more relieved he felt. He felt that half of the anger in his heart had disappeared. He was just waiting for the news of the Red Eyebrow Patriarch's tragic death after escaping the tribulation.

The Red Eyebrow Patriarch on the other side was furious. He felt as if his face was being peeled off and then thrown on the ground and stepped on. A feeling of humiliation surged in his heart.

It’s not that the Red Eyebrow Patriarch has a poor ability to bear. In his opinion, how much can a few shops be worth? It’s not worth mentioning as a condition. It’s purely humiliating him.

However, just like what Yu Shuyang said to him at the beginning of the negotiation: When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. At this time, the Red Eyebrow Patriarch deeply felt what it meant to have to bow your head.

"Fellow Daoist, this is all easy to negotiate. The Mu family will compensate you in full for the price of the shop. Are you satisfied now? Can we sign the contract?"

The Red Eyebrow Patriarch suppressed his anger and discussed in a gentle tone.

"My fellow immortal is very generous. My shop makes a fortune every day. In the past few years, our monthly turnover was tens of millions of talismans. In recent years, our business has grown even bigger.

If the Mu family wants to pay compensation, they'd better carefully calculate how much this business should be worth." Yu Shuyang said sarcastically, intentionally or unintentionally.

On the contrary, the Red Eyebrows Patriarch in the Nine-bend Yellow Sand Road was stunned when he heard this. He really couldn't react that the Yu family's business would be so prosperous.

The Mu family owns the entire Chaoju City, half of which are in the Hualong lineage, and the other half are controlled by the demon and fairy families of the outer islands. The Red Eyebrow Patriarch and the City Lord's Mansion are responsible for collecting taxes.

To be honest, Chaoju City's annual tax revenue may not be as much as the Yu family's business. After all, Wuzhi Steamed Bun Fish is a good thing for nourishing qi and blood and increasing strength, and Yunwu Tea can also improve spiritual practice.

When Mu Changling became greedy, Ma Ye had been causing trouble for three consecutive years. The reason was that the interests involved were too great for them to control.

At this time, the Red Eyebrow Patriarch and Mu Lingxian both reacted and knew the role of Mu Changling in all this. After all, it was his suggestion to attack the Yu family, and it was also his idea to surround the wild horse farm and prevent them from fighting back.

Mu Lingxian didn't care. He cared about Yu Shuyang from the beginning to the end. However, he was wary of him at first, but now he didn't want to offend him.

In comparison, the situation was different for the Red Eyebrow Patriarch. His personal interests were damaged. If Mu Changling had not insisted on besieging the Wild Horse Farm, it would not be him who was trapped in the formation.

Once the seed of doubt is born, it will only lead to evil thoughts. The Red Eyebrow Patriarch thought of another reason. Mu Changling intended to make enemies with the Yu family so that he could seize the Yu family's property.

Thinking of the twists and turns, the Red Eyebrow Patriarch felt a surge of anger in his heart and kept calling Mu Changling a fool. It was useless to say anything else at this time, and he would not be stupid enough to say it out loud.

"Fellow Daoist, you really have a way of making money. I'm afraid offering compensation won't work. The Mu family doesn't have that much money to pay you. Why don't we try another way? It would be good if we could run a business together."

The Red Eyebrow Patriarch changed his mind. He no longer thought about cutting off ties with the Yu family. He thought to himself that the Yu family was not only a family of Taoist disciples, but also a family of demons and immortals who knew how to manage their business.

There are few wandering cultivators and wild monsters who know how to run a business, otherwise, they would not be able to live in poverty. Among those who can run a market in Chaoju City, half of them rely on their cultivation of the immortal arts, and the other half do not know how to run a business.

Although there are nearly a million monsters in Chaoju City, most of them are actually workers. The Mu family has no choice but to secretly communicate with Longgong Haishi.

It was also thanks to Zhu Sanniang that a trade route to Wuzhou was opened up. Otherwise, the Hualong lineage could not be completely suppressed.

Yu Shuyang felt the changes in the formation ban. He had cut off three-tenths of the Red Eyebrow Patriarch's source and infected another twenty percent. The temperature was already high enough, so he was too lazy to talk to him anymore.

"My friend, you only think about good things? My family is moving, so naturally everything has moved. The spiritual buildings in the city were all bought by my family, so naturally they have to move too. I'm just saying hello to you."

Yu Shuyang felt relieved as if he had slapped the Red Eyebrow Patriarch twice, and his whole body felt refreshed.
