Start from the Martial Arts

Anpingfang City is located at the foot of the northeastern Duanhun Mountain Range.

The shanty towns are located on both sides of Fang City and are divided into two areas, one in the west and one in the east.

At first there was no difference.

However, when Feikang, a master of late-stage Qi refining, moved from the outer city to the shanty town in the west, many members of the hunting gang would choose to live in the shanty town in the west.

Gradually, hunting gangs grew in shantytowns to the west,

Recently, Feng Ping, the deputy leader of the Hunting Gang, broke through to the late stage of Qi refining, and the Hunting Gang truly dominated the Western Region.

Some casual cultivators who did not want to join the hunting gang, nor did they want to conflict with the hunting gang, moved to the shanty towns to the east. The price of monster meat in the casual cultivating area also gradually increased uniformly.

Some casual cultivators who had not had their prices increased were also disturbed by hunting gangs.

Many casual cultivators are dissatisfied with the behavior of the hunting gang, but there is nothing they can do about it.

Because although the hunting gang's behavior was excessive, it did not violate the rules of the city.

For the city managers, they don't care about this trivial matter at all.

The hunting gang is also very smart and never provokes the late Qi Refining monks and their relatives.

As for cultivating earth in the middle stage of Qi refining, the main focus is to win over and induce, supplemented by threats.

How can casual cultivators in the early stage of Qi refining have the ability to challenge the hunting gang.

Once the conflict intensifies and the law enforcement team intervenes, fines will be imposed.

So I can only endure it.

The moon is dark, the wind is high, and the wind is freezing.

There is a house to the west of the outer city.

The front hall was brightly lit, and ten monks gathered here, changing cups and making cups.

A man sitting in the middle of the crowd stood up and said,

This man was dressed in a yellow coat. He looked to be in his early forties, with a medium build, bronze complexion, a full forehead, a square mouth and a broad nose, and his temples were streaked with silver.

It was Feikang, the leader of the hunting gang.

Seeing him getting up, the monks present all quieted down and listened to him.

"You have all worked hard in recent days. Thanks to you and Fei Mouli, the hunting gang can become stronger and stronger.

Fei gives you a drink! "

Feikang bowed his hands to everyone, then raised his wine bowl and said loudly.

"The gang leader is too polite! If it weren't for the gang leader, I wouldn't have the good life today!"

"Yes, we should respect the gang leader!"

The members of the hunting gang all echoed and raised their wine bowls in response to Feikang.

Although the hunting gang is rooted in shantytowns, the core members of the hunting gang will not really share the joys and sorrows with the gang members.

In fact, they would often discuss matters, have parties and banquets, and keep in touch at the house they rented in Fekan, an outer city.

The hunting gang had only thirty or forty members before, but it has doubled in the past year.

However, the core backbone of the hunting gang still only has five middle-stage Qi-refining cultivators, plus Feng Ping, who recently broke through to the late-stage Qi-refining stage and became the deputy gang leader.

The other three monks in the early stage of Qi refining are all skilled in the art of making talismans and alchemy.

Master Chen Fu, who was recently coerced into joining the hunting gang, is not yet trusted by Feikang, so he is not at the table.

"Gang leader, today I went to see Old Man Wang in the shanty town. Judging from his appearance, I guess he won't be able to carry him for a few days.

Sooner or later you will join us, and then we will have cheap elixirs to take! "

Feng Ping's face was full of smiles, a little proud. He was the one who punched Wang Fugui today.

"When I buy pills on weekdays, I won't let the old man give me even one more pill!"

"Once the deputy gang leader took action, Old Man Wang didn't dare to resist."

"We just need to let him see how powerful our hunting gang is before he knows how to be afraid!"

The members of the hunting gang burst into laughter, their faces flushed with alcohol.

"It's better not to push too hard, take your time, and let Master Wang Alchemy feel the closeness of our hunting gang."

Feikang smiled and then changed the subject.

"What did the Talisman Master say?"

"No, that person can't get enough oil and salt, and his temper is like the stones in the pit, smelly and hard!" Feng Ping's face darkened.

"If you ask me, why don't the gang leader personally take action and invite you with your eighth-level Qi refining level? Master Fang Fu dare not agree?"

"It's already a big deal for the deputy gang leader to take action, so there's no need for gang leader Xianzun to deign to invite him."

"Yes, if we show him a little more prowess and disrupt his business, I won't believe he won't submit!"

Speaking of excitement, someone looked so angry that he smashed the wine bowl.

Fang Xiu is not Master Chen Fu. He has only been in Anpingfang City for four years and has no background. There is no need to give him such face.

"Hey, Yiyi! Please calm down for a moment." Feikang waved his hand and said to Feng Ping:

"Let's do this. Brother Feng will invite Master Fang Fu to the mansion for a banquet in a few days. He will tell everyone from the Hunting Gang to sweep up the couch to welcome him, so that he will be rewarded."

Feng Ping was stunned when he heard this, rolled his eyes, and immediately reacted:

"Yes! I will definitely ask him to come and talk to me!"

"Yes." Feikang smiled. As long as Fang Xiu entered the house, everything would be out of his control.

"Yes! We must let him feel the enthusiasm of our hunting gang!"

Everyone looked forward to the bright future of the hunting gang, and one by one they came forward to propose a toast to Feikang and Feng Ping, saying with all their flattery, "It's really lively here!"

After three drinks and five dishes, a joking voice suddenly sounded outside the hall.

A handsome young man in black robe walked to the middle of the yard with his hands behind his back.

"Who is this person? He broke into my hunting gang's camp without permission!" Several members of the gang stood up and stepped forward while drunk.

Feikang saw the young man's appearance clearly, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted to stop.

"etc!""

Fang Xiu walked up the steps slowly and said with a smile:

"These drinks and food are really sumptuous! It seems...the hunting gang has made a lot of money recently. Right, Gang Leader Fei."

Feikang's face looked a little unnatural. It was precisely because Lu Jin was 'missing' that no one came to collect the spiritual stones.

Life is naturally easier.

He did not return the spiritual stones offered to the hunting gang members, but kept them himself.

Without the threat of Lu Jin and Ghost Shura, Fei Kangxiu's ambitions expanded after his breakthrough, and he tried every means to strengthen the hunting gang.

Because he saw an opportunity to attack the foundation.

"I don't know that Friend Lu is here, but I am not welcome at a distance. I hope you can forgive me... If anything happens, we..." Fei Kang said with a smile.

"Leader Fei, I won't give in to you anymore. Where are the offerings from last year and this year?"

Fang Xiu interrupted him, stretched out a hand and weighed it twice.

Feikang's smile froze.

"What? The hunting gang is not going to make any more confessions?" Fang Xiu smiled crookedly.

Feng Ping slapped the table and stood up, his face full of anger: "You fart! Last year's and this year's offerings have already been handed in!"

"Oh? Seventh level of Qi refining? No wonder you are so arrogant." Fang Xiu glanced at Feng Ping indifferently, and then returned to the silent Feikang.

"It seems that Gang Leader Fei really wants to have a confrontation with our boss...:'

After hearing this, Feikang's expression changed and he smiled again and said:

"I think Fellow Daoist Lu may have misunderstood. Fei just saw that Fellow Daoist Lu never showed up, and was worried that something had happened to Fellow Daoist Lu, so he kept the spiritual stones offered.',

Although he has broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, he is definitely no match for Ghost Shura if he really wants to fight alone.

If he joins forces with Feng Ping, he barely has a chance of winning.

But the premise is that he and Feng Ping trust each other and cooperate closely.

This is obviously impossible.

Unless he does not leave the market before reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining, his life will be in danger if he encounters a ghost Shura alone.

Unlike the Lu Jin in front of him, Ghost Shura would not take action if he could, and he would never talk nonsense if he decided to take action.

Even Ghost Shura doesn't need to take action against him. As long as he kills a few key members, the hunting gang will fall apart under his threat.

By then, without the support of a large number of hunting gang members, it would be impossible for him to break through to the ninth level of Qi refining.

"Let me tell you, who doesn't want to lose money, avoid disasters and stay safe these days!" Fang Xiu followed Lu Jin's habit and showed a slightly sarcastic smile.

Ever since Lu Jin was injured by Fei Kang, he has always held a grudge, and every time he asked for a confession, he would say something about Fei Kang's yin and yang.

"Of course." The smile on Feikang's face was a little unnatural, and the conversation suddenly changed.

"By the way, I haven't heard from fellow Taoist Ghost Shura for a few days. I wonder how he is doing?

"Ha!" Fang Xiu sneered: "Fellow Daoist Fei, why do you need to test? Your hunting gang makes a living by hunting monsters. Don't you know that there is a seriously injured second-level monster deep in the Broken Soul Mountain Range?"

"What? A second-order monster?!" Several members of the gang looked shocked.

"So... Fellow Daoist Ghost Asura and Fellow Daoist Lu have been searching for second-order monsters for more than a year?" Feikang asked tentatively.

"What do you think?" Fang Xiu asked back, and then said impatiently: "Okay, I still need to help the boss purchase some things, but I don't have time to chat with Gang Leader Fei."

"Lu Jin! You are too arrogant! This is a hunting gang!" Feng Ping couldn't stand his attitude and was angered again.

"What? You want to take action?" Fang Xiu put his hands behind his back, showing no signs of defense.

"You!" Feng Ping's eyes were about to burst into flames.

The other members of the hunting gang present were also ready to take action.

"Brother Feng, please calm down." Fei Kang quickly tried to smooth things over, but Lu Jin's behavior was the same as before, even more arrogant.

Reminiscent of the secrets recently spread among the monks in the late stage of Qi Refining, both the foundation-building ancestor and the second-level monster were harmed.

He has been in seclusion for more than a year and has not shown up.

This made Feikang have to think more.

The reason why Lu Jin didn't show up for more than a year was because he was looking for the seriously injured second-level monster with Ghost Shura. Now he has a clue and has even succeeded.

If so, Ghost Shura might have already made preliminary preparations to attack the foundation.

In addition to using the three-hundred-year-old Heavenly Spirit Fruit as the main medicine, the genuine Foundation-Building Pill can also be replaced with the inner elixir of a second-level monster.

Even the scraps from second-level monsters are more valuable than many first-level monsters.

It is precisely because many first-order monsters have emerged from the depths of the Broken Soul Mountain Range, and the number of monks hunting monsters has increased a lot, the prices of talismans, magic weapons and other materials in the market have been rising recently.

Feikang expanded the power of the hunting gang and took this opportunity to hunt more monsters, and then obtain more spiritual stones in the name of offering sacrifices.

If you are lucky enough to find a second-level monster, you will make a lot of money.

"Then please ask Gang Leader Fei to hurry up. I'm in a hurry." Fang Xiu said calmly. He said he was in a hurry, but he seemed to be taking his time.

"Okay!" Feikang gritted his teeth. Although everyone here took action together, there was a high chance that Lu Jin could be retained, but if the decision could not be made quickly, it would definitely attract the attention of the law enforcement team.

The outer city is not a shantytown. If there is a big fight here, the law enforcement team has the power to act cheaply and may kill them and Lu Jin together.

Feikang patted the storage bag, took out a black cloth bag from it, and threw it towards Fang Xiu.

indistinct!

Fang Xiu didn't reach out to pick it up, and let the bag fall to the ground with a crisp sound.

He waved his hand, used the art of controlling objects, and opened the cloth bag, which was filled with thumb-sized diamond-shaped spiritual stones.

"Boss Fei, there are at most 700 or 800 spiritual stones here. The hunting gang hasn't offered them for two years." Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows.

"I used some of the spiritual stones for emergency." Fei Kang looked embarrassed, "I wonder... can you give me a few days?"

"It doesn't matter." Fang Xiu waved his hand, "Magic tools and elixirs can all be used to offset spiritual stones. As long as we can collect 1,200 spiritual stones, it will be enough."

Fei Kang's face changed again. Facing Fang Xiu's indifferent eyes, he gritted his teeth again and slapped his storage bag.

White rays of light spurted out, a pair of black boots embroidered with cloud patterns, and a yellow talisman of a golden bell in a painting.

"With these, it should be enough!"

Fang Xiu took the boots and talisman into his palm, weighed the Dengyun boots in his hand, and injected a trace of magic power.

A faint mist appeared under the boots, and the originally heavy weight instantly became as light as a feather.

"It seems that these boots only have the ability to improve body movement, but no other ability?"

"This pair of Dengyun boots is a fine product among the middle-grade magic tools, which can double the speed of Qi-refining cultivators. Even if it only has the ability to accelerate, it is worth at least three hundred spirit stones. In addition, there is a golden bell talisman, which I bought with eighty-six spirit stones." Fei Kang said in a deep voice.

Fang Xiu was delighted, but his face remained calm, "Okay, so-so."

After saying that, he put the spirit stone, Dengyun boots, and golden bell talisman into the storage bag, bowed casually to the people present, and turned away carelessly.

Fei Kang looked at his back, clenched his fists tightly, and the murderous intent in his eyes could not be suppressed, but he still endured it.

After Fang Xiu left, the banquet ended unhappily.
