Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 126 The Source of the Tribute
No matter what Fang Dushu thinks, it is a foregone conclusion to take control of the city anyway.

The Fang family is unwilling to live in seclusion at the bottom of the lake all year round, but hopes to revive Shangfang City.

Every member of the tribe is eager to restore the prosperity of the family when they were in Liangguo.

Maybe this road is full of hardships.

It is inevitable that there will be many crises.

The Fang family is not too worried. After all, they hold the entrance to the Shepan Realm, which is their way out.

If it is really in danger, then hide in the Snake Pan Realm for refuge.

Fang Dushu saw that it was already done, so he didn't try to persuade him.

"Third brother, you built the city here, have you established a tributary relationship with the Zhenwen faction?" Fang Dushu asked.

"The Zhenwen faction has brought all the border cities of Qinghu into the Longzhou territory, and gave us the opportunity to pay tribute, but now the evil disasters are happening frequently, and the envoys of the Zhenwen faction have made it clear that when the war ends, when will the tribute be collected."

Fang Xianfu was very satisfied with the Zhenwen School's style of handling things, and did not blindly oppress the monks of the aristocratic family.

He also said: "During the war, if the Qinghu border city is invaded by foreign enemies, the Zhenwen faction will also undertake the task of retreating from the enemy."

The foreign enemies he was talking about referred to the cultivating forces in Lizhou or other lands who launched a large-scale coalition invasion. The key point was that the Zhenwen sect would take over the border defense only when there were high-level monks in the Jindan period participating.

The current locust demon disaster is not serious. When the situation gets out of hand, the Zhenwen faction will definitely notify Qinghu Border City in advance to evacuate.

Ever since the demon soldiers from Jiuquanxueyuan began to go south, the Zhenwen faction has sent disciples into Lizhou, Dayong and Jiuquanxueyuan to investigate information, but this kind of action is not made public, and Fang Xianfu is not aware of it.

Fang Dushu did have the opportunity to get inside information, but he stayed away from the Zhenwen School for too long, so he couldn't grasp the situation for a while.

However, as he returns to the Zhenwen School, he will provide the Fang family with as much help as he can in the future: "I came back this time to see the situation in Shangfang City, the land is not peaceful.

I can't stay permanently, and when I return to the Zhenwen School, I will ask my master for advice to see if there is a solution to this predicament. "

Fang Dushu was expressing his attitude as a member of the Fang family.

After all, his Tai Chi oracle bones could be sacrificially refined, and the Fang family had put in a lot of effort. If Fang Xianfu hadn't hesitated to give him ten years of tribute, he would not have achieved Tai Chi.

He can't just think about taking advantage, but is unwilling to make any sacrifices.

Even if it is the same family, if they only consider their own gains and losses, grab the benefits if they have benefits, and flee if there is danger, then the relatives who are closest to each other will turn against each other, and then don't expect to get any support from the family.

As long as Fang Dushu wants his family to provide him with tribute, he must bear the corresponding responsibility.

If he thinks that the family is a drag and doesn't want to worry about it anymore, he can of course be alone and don't care about anything, he can even be a casual cultivator by himself.

But once he decides to do this, he will no longer be able to enjoy the benefits of his family and sect.

After hearing his statement, Fang Xianfu smiled slightly.

He did not ask him to provide support to the family: "Ah Qi, I will find a way to solve the matter in Shangfang City. You can get out of the matter and just stay in the Zhenwen School to practice! As long as you wait for the alchemy to be completed, then we All the problems encountered by the family can be easily solved, it doesn't matter if it is more difficult now!"

Fang Xianfu knew very well in his heart that no matter how many Fang family members there were in Shangfang City, how many guest officials he recruited, and how many geniuses he cultivated, none of them could compare to the role of a Golden Core cultivator.

So Fang Xianfu would rather bear everything by himself than let Fang Dushu be distracted. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not drag Fang Dushu into disputes about common affairs.

Fang Dushu heard him mention practice.

He just asked casually: "My enlightenment and foundation building went very smoothly. When I form alchemy in the future, I plan to continue refining dishes, but the Fang family will send tribute to Zhenwen in the future. Where should I go to find the tribute?"

"Shangfang City will provide you with a part."

Fang Xianfu has considered this matter: "But Ah Qi, even if our ancestral business in Liang Country is still there, it will take more than a year of hard work to gather more than a thousand children from the whole family to refine tributes for you, so that you can hope to satisfy your alchemy. The altar of time needs it."

If only more than [-] members of the Fang family were allowed to live in the Shepan Realm to refine tributes all year round, it would definitely be a drop in the bucket.

Not to mention more than [-] people, even if the two or three hundred monks recruited by the Fang family are making tributes day and night, the number cannot meet the requirements for forming alchemy and refining vessels.

Therefore, it is imperative to rebuild Shangfang City. It is necessary to expand enough territory and recruit enough monks to have the conditions to support Fang Dushu in the future.

Fang Dushu breathed a sigh of relief: "Is there such a big demand for tributes when forming alchemy?"

He underestimated a bit.

"Very big!"

Fang Xianfu said: "The consumption of tributes required for alchemy is nearly ten times more than that of the foundation period. Now that you have established the foundation, you should be able to get tributes from the Zhenwen School, but even if the family provides and the sect rewards are combined, you may It also needs to be accumulated for decades!"

This is not a task that can be accomplished overnight.

Fang Dushu wanted to refine the vessel to form alchemy, so he had to start preparing for accumulating tributes from now on. He absolutely couldn’t wait until he had completed the foundation building period and was about to form alchemy before going to sharpen his guns and search for tributes all over the world, that would be a waste a lot of time.

Of course, there is more than one way to form alchemy.

Fang Dushu can choose to give up the tribute and use other methods to form alchemy, but the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to break through, and the more difficult it is to advance, and it is accompanied by countless heavenly tribulations and thunder calamities.

Enlightenment and alchemy are recognized by the world of immortality as having the highest success rate and the safest way to advance.

As long as Fang Dushu can collect a sufficient amount of tributes, refine the alchemy enlightenment vessel, and comprehend his unique oracle bone way, then under the enlightenment, he can step over the alchemy barrier more smoothly.

Therefore, if you have the conditions to realize Taoism and form alchemy, you must try to enlighten Taoism. If you really don't have the conditions, then consider other methods.

Fang Dushu has confirmed the incomparable advantages of Tai Chi Dao.

He will definitely not give up the altar: "Third brother, besides family offerings and sect rewards, are there other ways to collect tribute?"

"The other way is to take risks to find it!" Fang Xianfu said, "It's like we strayed into the snake world and found tributes that can be enshrined for ten years in the world. There must be tribute treasures in some other ancient ruins."

"But where should the ancient ruins be found?" Fang Dushu asked.

"Currently the place that produces the largest amount of tribute is Jiuquan Snowfield." Fang Xianfu pointed out a direction.

"Nine Springs Snowfield? Isn't that the monster clan's lair?" The monster clan was uneducated and drank blood like a hair, Fang Dushu felt that it had nothing to do with the tribute.

"In ancient times, the monster clan was once prosperous and powerful. They established a huge monster kingdom on the Jiuquan Snowfield. Their power was so strong that they once suppressed our human cultivation."

"Really?" Fang Dushu couldn't imagine.

"I heard it too! Because of the superiority of the monster clan, they have the conditions to drive countless monster clan minions to sacrifice and refine tributes all year round. At that time, Jiuquan Snowfield produced tributes, which were as convenient as we cultivated medicinal materials. Come to any monster cave. You can find tributes all over the place!"

What Fang Xianfu said was not divorced from reality.

For human cultivators, the numerical superiority of the monster clan is at the crushing level. Any kind of gregarious insect and demon clan may surpass human cultivators in number.

If there are high-level monks in the monster clan who have transformed into catastrophe, and integrate all the monster clan's power, and drive the monster clan minions to refine tributes, it will be able to reach the grand scale of the tributes that Fang Xianfu said.

However, when the number of tributes accumulates to a certain level, more powerhouses will inevitably be born in the demon cultivator.

Fang Dushu was puzzled and said: "If the monster clan has a way to sacrifice tribute, they should also be able to master the method of enlightenment and advancement. Presumably there will be many high-level monks. How did they decline?"

"Maybe it's because they have too much potential and human cultivators are too afraid, so they joined forces to attack them until Jiuquan Snowfield was destroyed!"

Fang Xianfu said: "It is said that the monks who participated in the extermination of Jiuquan Snowfield at that time all came from our southern border. This also caused that every time the monster races were rampant, they only flowed to the southern border, and did not go north to harm the Kuntian people."

Fang Dushu couldn't help but suddenly realized when he heard this.

He had been wondering before, that the monks in Kuntian were human beings, and the monks in the southern border were also human beings. Why would the monster race follow the orders of the Kuntian people and only go south to make trouble instead of going north to commit murder?
It turned out that there was a world feud mixed in.

But if the Yaozu went south for revenge, why did those Kuntian people go south?
"Does the eight monks of Kuntian and us also have Liangzi?"

"I've never heard of it!" Fang Xianfu said: "The Kuntian people live in the snowy region of the northern border. Their living customs and habits are different from ours, and the land is far away. It is difficult to meet them if they want to make enemies."

"Then why did they insist on going south?" Fang Dushu felt that there must be some kind of profit motive: "Is it to snatch the tribute?"

"Even if they want to grab it, how much can they grab?" Fang Xianfu analyzed: "There are so many sects in the Dayong Kingdom, they are very powerful, and they also have reinforcements from the southern border. If a deadly battle really breaks out, monk Kuntian may not be able to get any benefits. Even if they barely win, the Dayong Sect will definitely transfer the tribute in advance, and will not leave it to them in vain."

One is no enmity, and the other is no benefit.

Could it be that the people of Kuntian went crazy in idleness?

Fang Xianfu suddenly pointed to the other end of Qinghu Lake: "A total of four cities have been built on this lake, and the other three families in charge of the city are all from Dayong. It is related to the secret treasury of the demon country in Xueyuan!"

The legend of the ancient demon country he mentioned earlier came from the foundation-building monks in the edge city of Qinghu. These monks grew up in Dayong and often went to explore the Jiuquan snowfield to learn more about the snowfield.

"The secret treasure of the demon country?"

"Yes! After the destruction of the demon country in the past, many demons fled underground with tributes. Every time they showed their tracks and launched a disaster to invade the south, their lairs would also be exposed. The ultimate goal of the Kuntian people may be the demon clan Ancient treasure in the lair."

"Then the Kuntian people attacked Dayong, it must be to deceive people's eyes and ears?"

"It's possible that the Kuntian people made a southward invasion posture to deter the southern monks from going north to compete for the secret treasure of the demon country in Jiuquanxueyuan! But what is the truth, you may be able to find out when you return to the Zhenwen faction!"

The reason why Fang Xianfu mentioned this matter and talked so much in one breath, he just wanted to tell Fang Dushu: "Ah Qi, if you want to quickly accumulate tributes, Jiuquan Snowfield is the best place to explore, Dayong Kingdom disciples of the sect, they are all going to the snowfield to find tributes!"

After listening to Fang Xianfu's narration, the pressure that gathered in Fang Dushu's heart disappeared without a trace.

Ever since he left Lishuihe, Fang Dushu always thought that he would be implicated in this war and would go to the front line to fight in the future when he heard the news of the southward invasion of monks from the eight tribes of Kuntian.

But with Fang Xianfu revealing the root cause of this war, Fang Dushu can rest assured that monk Kuntian looks menacing, but it is very likely that they are putting on a show, and they will not break out an endless bloody battle with Dayong.

After talking about this matter, Fang Dushu was taken to Shangfang City by Fang Xianfu.

There are four inner peaks in the city, which are also the caves of several Fang family monks in the foundation period.

Fang Xianfu, Fang Xiande, and Yin Jue each occupy a peak, and the remaining peak is kept idle all year round and reserved for backup.

Now that Fang Dushu has successfully established the foundation and returned to the family, the idle cave finally came into use.

Fang Dushu had just landed at the top of the peak when he saw Du Yuanniang, a guest Qing, flying to meet him.

Du Yuanniang is no longer a guest of the Fang family.

As soon as they met, Fang Xianfu pulled Du Yuanniang to his side: "Ah Qi, after you left the Shepan Realm, I proposed marriage to Yuanniang. She gave birth to two children one after another, and she will come to see you later."

This marriage is out of stability needs.

After all, the Shepan world was full of the Fang family back then, and Yin Jue and Du Yuanniang were surnames. If they didn't make further gestures of wooing them, then they would not have a sense of belonging.

During Fang Dushu's six years of retreat in Shuangzilu, the Fang family could not see the hope of regaining control of the city. They thought they would stay in the Shepan Realm for a long time. For a long-term plan, Fang Xianfu proposed marriage to Du Yuanniang, and Fang Qiongying also married Yin Jue .

However, not long after they got married, the evil disaster suddenly broke out, and they moved out of the Shepan Realm collectively.

For them, this change is like a chaotic world, turbulent and turbulent. They were originally ill-fated, pushed forward by the torrent of the secular world, and the future is full of hardships and crises.

But they were very united. After leaving the Shepan Realm, groups and groups collected the refugees who migrated to the south, and built Shangfang City brick by brick.

Finally, today we have a foundation that has begun to take shape.

As one of them, Fang Dushu did not personally witness the construction of the foundation, he just witnessed it all.

"Meet the third sister-in-law!"

He saluted Du Yuanniang.

Du Yuanniang wasn't embarrassed, she was good at socializing when she was in Wuyuan City, and said with a smile: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to call you Brother Fang in the future?"

"You can call me Ah Qi just like Third Brother."

Seeing that there were only the couple in the city, Fang Dushu asked, "When will Qiongying and brother Yin come back?"

"They intercepted the locust monster on the front line and could not return to the city for the time being, otherwise the defense line would fall, and we would suffer great losses."

Fang Xianfu said: "After the bug tide is over, let's get together at that time."
