Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 144

After leaving Wuyuan City, Fang Dushu went north again to Shangfang City.

Due to the expansion of the Fang family's territory, they have been doing a lot of construction work recently. Ever since Fang Dushu entered the Green Miasma Forest, construction activities in full swing can be seen everywhere.

The number of monks is also increasing rapidly. In order to complete the task of handing in the tribute on time, the Fang family went to the territory of the original Lizhou many times to recruit Ke Qing.

When Fang Dushu arrived at Shangfang City, he found that monks were moving very frequently, personnel management was not perfect, and the amount of tributes produced each month could not be stabilized.

Fang Dushu decided to wait for a while longer, when the expansion of Shangfang City was completely completed, and the resident monks had stabilized, then he would come back to check the status of the tribute.

Refining tributes must be equipped with bells and tripods. Now the Fang family has four bells and tripods in total: Carving Zhou Ding, Tengjiao Ding, Blood Rain Ding, and Turning Cloud Bell. Even if enough monks are recruited, if the number of bells and tripods is scarce, the monthly production The amount of tribute still cannot be increased.

In view of the fact that the territory of Shangfang City is twice as large as that of ordinary cities, and the tributes that will be handed over to the Zhenwen faction will be more than other cities in the future, Fang Dushu cannot let Shangfang City only pay tribute to the Zhenwen faction, and he himself wants to withhold some of them. He needs to provide Shangfang City with a new bell tripod to improve the efficiency of tribute refining.

How many to provide specifically depends on how much their tribute output will be after the total number of monks in Shangfang City stabilizes. Fang Dushu can make a decision only after evaluating the detailed situation.

Anyway, this matter can't be rushed.

After living in Shangfang City for some time, Fang Dushu bid farewell to Fang's family and returned to Zhenwen School.

A few days after he returned to Lone Wood Peak, Qi Changzhen led a distinguished guest to the door.

"Senior Sister Sun!"

Fang Dushu warmly welcomed the distinguished guest: "When did you come here?"

The person who came was Sun Aofu, a disciple of Feixia School.

When Fang Dushu went to Feixia School to find Qi Changzhen, he had an agreement with Sun Aofu that if the time was right, Sun Aofu would invite Fang Dushu to explore the Jiuquan Snowfield.

Now that half a year has passed, Fang Dushu hadn't had time to inquire about the situation in Jiuquan Xueyuan, but Sun Aofu suddenly came to him.

"I have just been here for two days." Sun Aofu pointed at Qi Changzhen: "Just in time for the New Year, Master Yun Zhaoxia and Master Xuan Jinwen have a very good personal relationship, and they often come to visit during the New Year and holidays, so I will follow Yun Zhao Master Xia is around, come to visit Changzhen, and come to see you by the way."

"Senior Sister Sun can come, my lonely peak is full of glory." Fang Dushu was waiting for Sun Aofu to introduce the situation.

"I was actually doing it because of the incident a few years ago." Sun Aofu didn't make him wait any longer, and quickly got to the point: "I want to invite Junior Brother Fang to go to Jiuquan Xueyuan together."

"Senior Sister Sun, do you think it is a suitable opportunity to go to the snowfield now?" Fang Dushu said bluntly: "I have only been to the green miasma forest in the north of Longzhou. In the past six months, hundreds of monks have settled in the green miasma forest. Among them, many came from Dayong Kingdom, I asked them, Dayong territory has not restored the previous stability, which shows that the threat of evil disaster in Jiuquan Snowfield still exists."

"The Dayong Sect did not let down their vigilance, but it's just that they are taking precautions." Sun Aofu said, and took out a scroll.

She tossed the scroll lightly, suspended it in the air, and then slowly pulled it away, revealing a map, which was displayed in front of Fang Dushu.

The map is divided into north and south parts.

The southern part is a panorama of Dayong, Li and the neighboring Liang.

The three kingdoms are closely adjacent to each other, with Dayong at the top, Li and Liang at the bottom, and the three kingdoms merged together to form a long strip-shaped terrain.

To the north of this terrain is Jiuquan Snowfield.

"Junior Brother Fang, please see that Dayong, Dali, and Great Liang are all located in the Hexi territory." Sun Aofu pointed to the map and introduced Fang Dushu: "As the name suggests, the Hexi Territory is a remote place located in the extreme west of Qinghe River. There are only three kingdoms in the territory, and because of the narrow and long terrain, it is also called the Hexi Corridor by the monks!"

If you only look at the outline, it really looks like a long corridor.

"This corridor is divided into three sections on the west side, the middle and the east side!" Sun Aofu continued: "The area where the evil disaster broke out this time is all concentrated on the east side of the corridor, and the demon cultivators basically start from the corridor. Go southward from the east and invade the Dayong Kingdom! The farther the corridor goes west, the more inclined the terrain is, and the adjacent Jiuquan Snowfield is the same, even the demon cultivators in the west of the snowfield are not willing to live there!"

"Senior Sister Sun, where is the secret mansion you are looking for?" Fang Dushu asked.

"It happens to be located on the west side of the snow field." Sun Aofu flicked his fingers and clicked a mark on the scroll map.

This mark is the location of the secret mansion on the Jiuquan Snowfield.

Fang Dushu took a look, and saw that the Secret Mansion was almost located on the western edge of Jiuquan Snowfield.

"Are there really no demon cultivators near the secret mansion?"

"I can assure you that there is absolutely no nest of big monsters." Sun Aofu said firmly, "At the same time, there are no little monsters with scales and horns that hatch from wetness."

"Senior Sister Sun, what do you mean?" Fang Dushu didn't quite understand: "What kind of monster is there, please tell me clearly, Senior Sister Sun."

"It's mainly a place for meditation!" Sun Aofu said: "Meditation is often transformed by human corpses. They generally have enlightened spiritual wisdom at the beginning of demon transformation. Since they have human cultivation thinking, they don't want to be Enslaved by big demons, they also know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so they stayed away from the demon cultivator's lair in the eastern part of the snowfield, and went to the western remote areas to live in seclusion and practice."

It was for this reason that Sun Aofu was able to collect so many Meditation Inner Pills. When she was exploring the western part of the Jiuquan Snowfield, [-]% of the monsters she encountered were from Meditation.

Fang Dushu has a deep understanding of the situation she explained.

It was only when he traveled to Liangjie Mountain that year, and the monsters that Fang Dushu met for the first time were all meditators, zombie flower detectives, ghosts in red robes, and skeletons and iron bones.

Fang Dushu asked: "Did meditation participate in this eruption of demon disaster?"

Sun Aofu shook her head lightly: "The biggest difference between meditation cultivators and non-devil demon cultivators is that they know how to protect themselves wisely and don't blindly fight desperately. Meditation cultivators can basically avoid the demon disasters that broke out in Jiuquan Xueyuan. Any hatred has always lived in seclusion in the western part of the snowfield, and has never flowed south."

After hearing this, Fang Dushu thought to himself, if what she said was true, then there should not be much danger in exploring the snow field.

But Fang Dushu will not make a hasty decision on this matter, he will first ask Sanfeng scribe for instructions, Sanfeng scribe is a monk of Jindan period, and must know Jiuquanxueyuan.

If Teacher Sanfeng thinks he can go, then there is no problem with accompanying Sun Aofu. If Teacher Sanfeng does not suggest going, then Fang Dushu will also reject Sun Aofu.

"Senior Sister Sun, how long do you plan to live in Zhenwen School?"

"Master Yun Zhaoxia will return to Feixia Sect in two days, but I won't leave for now!"

Sun Aofu will wait here for Fang Dushu's accurate reply: "Junior Brother Fang, as long as you are willing to travel to the snowfield, I will immediately offer you the Meditation Inner Alchemy of the Golden Core Stage."

Fang Dushu didn't express his opinion: "I need to think about it. When I think about it, I'm not sure. If Senior Sister Sun stays in the school to wait for my decision, I don't think it's necessary."

Fang Dushu said to her: "You might as well go back to the sect with Master Yun Zhaoxia first. Once I make a decision, I will inform you immediately."
