The woman wore a sky-blue, wide-sleeved, cross-collared skirt, her hair tied up in a simple bun, and she looked gentle and charming. Perhaps because of her recent clerical work, she also had a scholarly air, making her temperament even more calm and reserved.
Manager Fang straightened his posture and appearance before entering the room. He was extremely respectful to this woman who was a few years younger than him.
"Madam, the new group of people from the market have been brought to the mountain."
This beautiful, gentle, and seemingly harmless woman is his mistress.
The young master returned to take the family business that originally belonged to him, and now he is the head of the Fang family. When the head of the family returned, he brought back two women with him.
The relationship between the two women and the head of the family is extraordinary. Although they have not yet married into the family, anyone with a discerning eye knows that they are already the designated mistresses.
This Miss Wu is younger than Miss Li, so she is naturally the second wife.
In addition to her relationship with the head of the family, Manager Fang also knew that this lady was not an ordinary person, but an immortal master.
A month ago, when the laborers were cutting wood, they encountered a ferocious beast that was about to become a spirit and injured several people. It was the second lady who took action and used her seemingly soft palm to directly punch the beast to death.
"Thank you for your hard work, Fang Zui." Wu Yuanshuo put down his pen, looked up and spoke softly.
Two months ago, when they first arrived at the Fang Mansion, both Wu Yuanshuo and Li Qingming were a little shy when they were addressed as "Madam" by the Fang Mansion residents. However, after being addressed as such for a long time, they got used to it.
This is also related to the rapid development of the relationship between the three people after they arrived in Linge County.
Perhaps it was because of the way the people around them addressed them and their views on the relationship between the three of them that broke the delicate relationship between them.
Coupled with Brother Suichu's unreasonable and blunt words, the atmosphere was even right, and he just went straight for it. Except for not breaking through the last step and performing the ceremony, the three of them had actually done everything they should have done.
Fang Zui reported some recent work progress and then left.
After this loyal steward left, Wu Yuanshuo also let out a long sigh, with a look of fatigue between his brows.
Establishing a sect is a long and tedious process. Wu Yuanshuo wants to help Fang Suichu and do what he can in it.
In addition to practicing seriously, he also helps Fang Suichu with some management matters.
She is calm and serious in her work, so Brother Suichu handed this matter over to her.
However, management is not simpler than cultivation. It is even more complicated and more energy-consuming.
Fortunately, she had the help of the experienced old housekeeper of the Fang Mansion, and Fang Suichu also gave her private lessons, teaching her some management concepts and mathematics of later generations. Except for the chaos in the first half of the month, she is now on the right track.
Rubbing his eyebrows, just as Wu Yuanshuo was about to continue with the construction and management planning, a beautiful fiery red figure walked into the house again.
Li Qingming, a heroic woman who was completely different from the gentle girl, was looking at Wu Yuanshuo with a smile: "Oh, our little housekeeper is still busy..."
Wu Yuanshuo raised his head, dropped the pen in his hand, and quickly stood up.
But Li Qingming came to him first and gently pinched Wu Yuanshuo's face.
"I feel like I've lost some weight again. Is it because I'm too busy and tired at work? That won't do."
"No..." Wu Yuanshuo quickly shook his head to deny it.
"Why is Sister Qingming coming up the mountain?"
Li Qingming waved his hand: "Of course it's because the work in the city is done."
The Linge County is such a large area that there are actually quite a few strange and independent cultivators. Of course, most of them are at the Spirit Induction Realm, small fish and shrimps that Fang Suichu no longer looks down upon.
Among them, some left because of the matter of Tianchan Temple, and some left because of the matter of the White Lotus Demon. The remaining some were handed over to Li Qingming by Fang Suichu for handling.
If Wu Yuanshuo positioned himself as a housekeeper, then Li Qingming's position was to help Fang Suichu.
She also took care of the matter of "transmitting skills" by the way.
Yes, because of the actual combat he had been doing, Li Qingming's cultivation progress caught up and surpassed Wu Yuanshuo.
Now he has also achieved a small success in the Bone Tempering Realm, which can be said to be a master.
Now Li Qingming has no problem passing on his skills to the Foundation Establishment and Meridian Opening Stage.
The difficulty in establishing a school lies in teaching and imparting knowledge.
This is not a serious world of immortality. Immortality only exists in a few people. Without the soil for foundation and enlightenment, one can only start from scratch and do it by oneself.
Fortunately, Fang Suichu's breathing method for building the foundation has been perfected and is absolutely suitable for the general public to practice. The teaching materials are available, and the next step is to train teachers.
According to Fang Suichu's thinking, the path of immortal martial arts that has been developed now is to enter the Tao through martial arts. Martial artists with a foundation in martial arts, a deeper understanding of the human body, and sufficient training are more likely to embark on this path.
Therefore, during this period of time, Li Qingming helped Fang Suichu travel around the martial arts halls in Linge County and preach.
At present, several martial artists from martial arts schools have gained a glimpse of the path to building a foundation in 100 days and are beginning to sense Qi.
It's not clear in the short term, but the impact will become apparent over time. According to Fang Suichu's blueprint, these martial arts schools will serve as peripheral forces for the Fang Xian Dao, providing a channel for the Fang Xian Dao sect to recruit disciples.
Listening to Li Qingming's words, Wu Yuanshuo nodded and asked:
"Come to think of it, isn't Brother Suichu coming with you today?"
Fang Suichu is naturally not a completely hands-off boss. Whether it is the deduction and improvement of the skills, the opening up of roads, or the planning of the sect system, all are done by him.
Fang Suichu would go up the mountain every day to help Wu Yuanshuo share some of the work, and by the way, they would develop some feelings while working together.
"Oh, about that. He left the city on New Year's Eve. He said the nests he had dug were already full of fish, so we could start fishing now."
Chapter 123 Mountain People
The Fang Suichu that the two women were talking about was currently walking in an unknown mountain outside of Linge County in Jingzhou.
Jingzhou is mostly mountainous, with only a handful of flat lands. Therefore, the number of counties and cities is far fewer than in other prefectures, but relatively speaking, the size and population of these counties and cities are also larger than in other prefectures. Beyond the counties and cities, there are countless mountains and rivers, not all of which have names.
The forest where Fang Suichu walked through was completely silent, without even the sound of birds or animals, which seemed a bit strange.
However, this silence was soon broken.
There was a sound of beast roaring from afar, howling in the forest, and the sound was getting closer and closer.
In fact, Fang Suichu had already heard it. In addition to the roar of the beast, there was also the rapid breathing of a man.
The breath was abnormal, but very weak. Although he heard the noise, Fang Suichu had no interest in solving it. After all, he was not a child who would step on an ant if he saw one.
Fang Suichu originally didn't intend to pay any attention to it, but the chasing monsters and the fleeing strange cultivators were coming straight towards him, so he naturally killed anyone who bumped into them.
Just after Fang Suichu stopped and took a few breaths, a figure appeared in the forest.
He was a strong young man, his skin seemed to have been tanned by wind and sun, and he was dressed differently from the people of Wu. He wore a short jacket with a large collar, loose shorts, and green cloth leg wraps on his feet, and wore a pair of straw sandals.
The young man was gasping for breath, looking like he was about to suffocate.
Fang Suichu only glanced at it and then looked away, turning to look at the beast chasing behind it.
It was a black panther, but it was wearing a bronze mask on its face. The mask seemed to be embedded in its flesh, making it look extremely ferocious.
The young man was running and passing through the trees, so he naturally saw Fang Suichu in front of him.
He quickly raised one hand and waved it vigorously. Because he had to breathe desperately, he could only use this method to remind the people in front of him to get out of the way quickly because there was danger behind him.
But in the young man's perspective, Fang Suichu did not dodge or evade until the young man took a detour and ran past him.
The young man avoided Fang Suichu, but the black panther behind him was not so polite. This black panther was originally a wild beast in the forest, barely promoted to a monster because of the mask. It had little intelligence, but its wildness was completely preserved.
Seeing that there were living people blocking the road, they naturally paved the way.
Just as the black panther pounced on Fang Suichu, Fang Suichu took a deep breath and then exhaled.
After the soft air was exhaled from its mouth, it instantly became like a hard and sharp sword that exploded the mask on the black panther's head, along with its head.
The headless body of the black panther also fell powerlessly to the ground from mid-air.
Fang Suichu did not look at the black panther's corpse, but turned around. The fleeing young man stopped at this time, his chest still heaving violently, but the astonishment on his face did not disappear because of his heavy breathing.
Seeing Fang Suichu, who had easily killed the leopard that had been chasing him for a long time, looking at him, the young man was stunned for a moment, and his nerves seemed to react a little late, and he quickly saluted with a fist:
"Thank you, senior, for saving your life."
In the young man's eyes, the young man in blue robe looked no different from an ordinary person, but he was able to kill the black panther easily, and was obviously a master of cultivation.
The young man's words reached Fang Suichu's ears. Although his accent was a bit strange and had a dialect flavor, it did belong to the unified language system of this world, so he could understand it.
Mountain people.
In addition to the population of Jingzhou registered by the provincial government, there is also a large number of people hiding in the mountains.
Legend has it that when the Wu Kingdom conquered Jingzhou and destroyed the ancient state of Nanjing, some of the Nanjing nobles, dissatisfied with Wu's rule, fled into the mountains with their people and slaves. The Wu army launched several campaigns to eliminate the remnants, but while successful, they ultimately failed to completely eradicate them. These remnants of Nanjing took root in the mountains.
Except for occasionally exchanging supplies with the outside world, they stay in the mountains most of the time.
However, although the young mountain man was startled by Fang Suichu's appearance, he was not surprised.
Obviously, it is not true that mountain people rarely communicate with the outside world.
However, it is also true that the cultivation resources in Jingzhou are not as abundant as those in other states. The biggest piece of the cake has been divided up, and the remaining is not enough for various strange cultivators to share. Therefore, it is very normal to focus on the mountain people and conduct various private transactions.
Fang Suichu calmly accepted the mountain man's respectful greeting and gratitude.
This mountain fellow can barely be considered a 'weird cultivator'. The reason why I say 'barely' is because he seems to have just advanced to the most basic 'spirit-serving' stage of the Weird Dao Spirit-Inducing Realm.
"Fu Ling" means taking strange objects with similar cultivation directions from various Taoist sects and contaminating oneself with the strange spirituality in them.
Judging from the young man's spiritual power, his spiritual power seemed to have only been in the last few months. Within the Lingmi Dao lineage, this level of spiritual power wasn't even considered a formal disciple.
To put it simply, this young man has only taken half a step into the evil path and still has a chance to stop.
Furthermore, judging from his fortune, he has not been plagued by any injustice, which means that he has never killed anyone.
Seeing Fang Suichu remained silent, the young man grew anxious. He mustered up the courage to speak, "My name is Ali. Senior, are you also here to attend the 'Guqu Conference'?"
"What is the Guqu Conference?" Fang Suichu came back to his senses and asked.
Fang Suichu's question made Ali stunned for a moment.
The cultivator didn't come here to attend the Guqu Conference, so he couldn't have just happened to pass by.
But Ali didn't dare to question it, and immediately started talking about what the Guqu Conference was:
"The Guqu Assembly is a ritual held by Lord Guqu, the mountain deity worshipped by the five Black Horn tribe strongholds and the master of these mountains. The nearby mountain and water deities, as well as the most accomplished practitioners, have been invited. I heard they're discussing a major matter."
There was awe in Ali's tone.
It must have come from a mountain village of a certain mountain tribe. Mountain people have the custom of worshipping mountain and water gods. The strange monster is equivalent to their gods.
After hearing Ali's words, Fang Suichu instantly understood what this conference was about.
Before the monsters and ghosts set their sights on Linge County, they must first gather together. The so-called discussion of important matters is nothing more than gathering enough helpers and then dividing the cake.
Fang Suichu nodded: "Yes, I am here to attend this conference."
Seeing Fang Suichu suddenly change his words again, Ali touched his head and felt that this senior was a little weird.
However, there were so many strange people among the practitioners that no one cared much about it.
"Speaking of which, where is your teacher?" Fang Suichu asked again.
This guy has just entered the world of trickery. Since he can say the name of that conference, he must have been brought here. Chapter 124: Loose Cultivators
"Master was originally planning to attend the Guqu Conference, but on the way he ran into a mortal enemy and started a fight."
"Master's enemy is very powerful. When fighting with Master, he even released a spiritual pet to attack me. That spiritual pet is also very powerful. I don't want to drag Master down, and I also want to lure the enemy's spiritual pet away, so I ran all the way."
"I don't know how long I ran before I met you, Senior."
Ali answered seriously, and Fang Suichu didn't feel any lies in it.
The leopard is only slightly stronger than an ordinary wild beast. Using such a beast as a spiritual pet, what Ali said about his master's powerful enemy is actually just like that, and his master is even worse, estimated to be at the very ordinary level of the Spirit Inducing Realm.
The difference in the quality of the inheritance of the strange way is very large. The master that Ali mentioned is obviously a strange cultivator, the kind of wild fox Zen with no inheritance.
Moreover, there is obviously something wrong with this strange creature that Ali Fu Ling created.
"Do you know where the conference is held?" Fang Suichu asked again.
Although he could use the art of looking at qi to determine the approximate location of the strange cultivators and strange creatures, the few strange spiritual forces that were still significant were too scattered.
Killing them one by one would be a bit slow and wouldn't allow for good training. I was also worried that some evil cultivators or creatures would run away when they saw the situation was not good, and it would be very troublesome to chase them.
It would be better to just gather them together and kill them all at once. This is also the fundamental reason why Fang Suichu waited in Linge City for so long and came here only now.
"I don't know..." Ali shook his head.
"But the practitioners have agreed to gather at Yitong Peak first."
