Chapter 305 Road Clearing
In a quiet room in the black market, Fang Qingyuan was chatting with an ordinary-looking monk with no distinguishable features.
This person is also in the late stage of foundation building. His face is stiff. Even when he smiles, his face does not move at all. He is obviously a disguised human skin mask. According to convention, Fang Qingyuan needs to wear something like this. The bamboo hat that covers the whole body is enough, but with that token, the two of them met like this.
Over the years, Naxi Qibao has ordered some blood and longevity elixirs every once in a while. Most of these elixirs have been exchanged for various materials and given to Fang Qingyuan, but some of them are also recorded on this token. In order to prepare for Fang Qingyuan's future use, no, now is the time to use it.
The black market has always been shady. Fang Qingyuan had only come here a few times before because there was no demand. This time, he came with the intention of making a quick decision.
After chatting for a while, Fang Qingyuan revealed his true purpose
"Fellow Taoist, I wonder if there is any information about sects and families such as Fangshan Zhang Family and Sanhua Sect here? Detailed records"
The black market leader did not tell his name. Both parties referred to him as Taoist friends. At this time, when he heard Fang Qingyuan ask this question, he pondered for a few times and said
"Of course there is, but this kind of spying on the inside story of his sect is more hated by others. To be honest with fellow Taoists, if it weren't for this token, I would not have released this information. "
Fang Qingyuan nodded lightly. Buying information depends on friendship. If you buy it for no reason, even if you have enough spiritual stones, it still depends on whether the person wants to sell it to you.
But fortunately, with the token given by Xiqi Bao, Fang Qingyuan saves some preliminary steps, such as doing a few troublesome things for the black market and exchanging information before handing over the information. .
"I save it. Thank you fellow Taoist for being so accommodating. In addition, I have one more thing to ask. I wonder if you gangsters can accept any order? What is the price of a late-stage foundation-building monk? If the other party is a golden elixir monk"

Hearing Fang Qingyuan ask this, the other party chuckled a few times
"Based on status and identity, monks in the late stage of foundation building can have between two hundred and five hundred high-grade spiritual stones, and although golden elixir monks It’s difficult to handle, but of course we will accept it, but I am afraid that the price will be spent by fellow Taoists who have spent all the financial resources of the sect, and they will not be able to come up with it.”
Fang Qingyuan sneered a few times, but he didn’t think so in his heart. Just because you can't take it out doesn't mean you can't take it out yourself.
It’s just that there’s no need to say this in such detail. It’s enough to know that the black hand even takes orders from the Golden Core cultivator.
After getting the information, Fang Qingyuan was given a gift. He found a remote place and after viewing all the information, he got up and went to the Far East Alliance.
Qingyuan Sect is one of the top eight sects of the Far East Alliance. Although its daily presence is very small, it is very noble in terms of status. Only then did Qingyuan arrive, and so did the head of Dongming Sect. The leader of the Far East Alliance personally greeted him.
Two years ago, this person passed the Lihuo Alliance and gathered a group of people to go north to obtain the talisman.League Shandu worked as a thug in his old job, but as he said, the surviving monks all made a lot of money, and the reputation of the Far East Alliance was revealed to various forces for the first time.
Now it seems that the head of the Dongming Sect is still somewhat capable. He is not entirely as speculated by the outside world. He was jointly promoted by everyone and was just used as the first transitional leader.
“It’s rare for Sect Master Fang to come here once, and you must have a few drinks with me today.”
The head of the Dongming Sect held a banquet in honor of Fang Qingyuan. At this time, he held up the wine bottle to Fang Qingyuan. After sending out an invitation, Fang Qingyuan also picked up the wine bottle and drank a few drinks with him.
After three glasses of wine, Fang Qingyuan revealed the purpose of his trip
"Brother Xiao, I have a favor to ask of you. Please help me, Commander Xiao."
p>
This Alliance Leader Xiao, also known as Xiao Chuangong, looked very cheerful when he heard that Fang Qingyuan wanted to ask for something. As a member of the Far East Alliance, the Qingyuan Sect has always been alone in these years and seems to be very aloof. His status in the alliance is also very important. Now that the other sect leader has something to ask for in person, isn't this taking advantage of Xiao Chuangong's ability?
Xiao Chuangong put down his wine bottle and said kindly
"Sect Master Fang You can speak up, if I, Xiao, can do it, I will not refuse."
Fang Qingyuan did not hesitate and told Xiao Chuangong directly about the Qingyuan Sect's desire to obtain the business road at the border with the wilderness. Come out, this matter is an aboveboard matter. Once it is launched, it will not be hidden from the attention of others. Fang Qingyuan simply made it clear here, and it seems that he has no intention of hiding it from the Far East Alliance.
Hearing what Fang Qingyuan said, Xiao Chuangong’s smile remained the same, but his tone was a little more tentative
“If your clan wants to win the business road at the border with the wilderness, it will inevitably involve dealing with several people. There is a conflict between the clans, and the noble clan has been enfeoffed for three generations, so it will be noble. If the shoes get wet and stained with mud, it will not be beautiful."
Fang Qingyuan looked at Xiao Chuangong's expression and saw it. This person looked like he was thinking about himself, and he sighed softly
"It is true that he is noble, but if he continues, he will become poor, maintain a false respectability, and let the people in the family Disciples go out to make a living, which is a shame for me as a sect leader. Don’t worry, Leader Xiao, our Qingyuan Sect just wants to open up a trade route for food, and has no idea about the territories of other sects.”
What Xiao Chuangong is worried about is simply that the Qingyuan Sect takes advantage of this excuse to annex the territories of several small families and sects. This kind of thing has happened several times in the past ten years.
White Mountain is not stable. In the past twenty years, several unlucky sects and family backbones have always died due to accidents or greed while exploring outside or fighting with others.
The foundation-building monk is the leader of a cultivating family. Once he dies, there is no way to stop the outside world from coveting his family's territory. Therefore, in the past twenty years, the scope of everyone's territory has not remained unchanged.
At this time, it was already close to the enfeoffment of Dazhou Academy and the territory demarcated.With some fine-tuning, this is a natural evolution, and the Far Eastern Alliance is powerless to stop it. Even in these years, the Dongming Sect's territorial power has expanded the fastest. Their territory has become one-fifth larger than when it started. .
Only the Qingyuan Sect’s territory remains the same as before. Because Fang Qingyuan has no intention of opening up, other sects naturally do not dare to provoke the Qingyuan Sect. However, at this moment, Fang Qingyuan proposed this idea. No wonder Xiao Chuangong misunderstood. After all, he has done most of this kind of thing.
Seeing Fang Qingyuan’s assurance, Xiao Chuangong smiled heartily and said kindly
“Sect Master Fang misunderstood me. Since Sect Master Fang has such considerations, then the alliance is willing to help Qingyuan Sect. Let's make peace and let these sects and cultivator families clear the way so that your clan can open up this business road."
"Then let Leader Xiao worry more about it after the matter is completed. , Qingyuan Sect must have expressed something."
"That's it. Come on, Sect Master Fang, let's continue drinking."
Fang Qingyuan came back from the Far Eastern Alliance. His face was a little unsatisfied, and he could feel Xiao Chuangong's perfunctory attitude. Even though Xiao Chuangong talked so well, he didn't know how dedicated he was when he actually did things.
However, there is nothing that can be done about it. The Qingyuan Sect was not close to the Dongming Sect before. It can be said that the Qingyuan Sect is not close to anyone. It has been nearly twenty years since the Qingyuan Sect was founded. There is no sect that can truly communicate with each other.
The biggest reason for this is Fang Qingyuan, because he has no awareness of this aspect. As a result, Mao Cheng, the head of the general affairs, naturally does not consider this aspect when doing things.
It’s just a normal human relationship. When encountering such a critical moment, naturally I can’t hold on.
Fang Qingyuan began to reflect on himself, either because he was enfeoffed, which made the Qingyuan Sect appear aloof and difficult to get along with, or because Fang Qingyuan devoted himself to cultivation and did not pay much attention to the development of the sect. Take heart.
But now, he still has more than thirty years of practice before forming the elixir. During this period, it is only right to get the Qingyuan Sect in order.
Back in the sect, Fang Qingyuan let his disciples go around to inquire about information and do preliminary work, while he stayed in the quiet room, waiting for the Far Eastern Alliance to send people to contact him.
Five days later, the Far Eastern Alliance sent an old acquaintance from the Qingyuan Sect and arrived with a dozen Qi-training monks.
This person was Xiao Yangxu, who had come to lobby Fang Qingyuan to join the Far Eastern Alliance. Fang Qingyuan had not seen him for more than ten years.
Over the years, Xiao Yangxu's level has not improved much, but his behavior has become more tactful. After he arrived at Qingyuan Sect, his posture was very low, but when he was doing things, he looked at his efforts, but his results were not as good as before. Not very outstanding.
"Zhang Family Master, please give me an accurate answer on what Sect Master Fang mentioned just now, whether it will work or not, so that we can make plans."
In the Zhang family banquet living room in Fangshan, Fang Qingyuan led With a few people, Xiao Yangxu and others attended the Zhang family's banquet.
However, compared to other sects where the guests are all happy, the atmosphere here in the Zhang family isIt seems less harmonious.
Fang Qingyuan watched with cold eyes, watching Xiao Yangxu convince the head of the Zhang family. From the moment the Far Eastern Alliance sent Xiao Yangxu, Fang Qingyuan knew that this trip would not go well.
Although Xiao Yangxu is eloquent, his status in the Far Eastern Alliance is not very important. For such a major matter involving the interests of the sect, Fang Qingyuan feels that even if Xiao Chuangong does not have to come in person, he will send a high-level person. That's ok too.
Some things cannot be accomplished through words. At this time, you must either use force to suppress it, or spend huge amounts of wealth to bribe it. Only when neither of these two methods works, will it develop to the use of force. situation.
But Xiao Yangxu only said it with his mouth. When he encountered a powerful little tyrant like the Zhang family, people would naturally not buy it.
"Forgive me, Manager Xiao. I cannot make the final decision on such a major matter involving the rise and fall of the family. How about you allow me to go down and discuss it with the elders of the clan, and I will give you an answer in a few days."
After eating a soft nail, Xiao Yangxu looked unhappy and said bluntly
"No one in the outside world knows that the Zhang family is decided by you. As the head of the family, who dares to disagree with what you say?" Listen, Sect Master Fang has given you a lot of sincerity. Look at these treasures, aren’t they enough for you to make a decision now?”
The head of the Zhang family said helplessly
“It’s not right I don’t want to, I really can’t. Although I am the head of the family, I can’t just do whatever I want. Our Zhang family also relies on this trade route to earn a living. Many disciples in the family are counting on this for welfare. You can’t just come up and say it. If you want, let's give it up."
Xiao Yangxu understood what he said, but he had to do things for Fang Qingyuan during this trip, so he could only ignore the Zhang family's difficulties. arrive.
So the two of them continued to argue, but then Fang Qingyuan spoke up
"Since the head of the Zhang family is in trouble, let's wait. Although our two families are separated by a few houses, , but they are still close neighbors. We didn’t move around frequently in the past, but we have to move around more in the future." Faced with Fang Qingyuan's attitude, the head of the Zhang family suddenly felt relieved, and Xiao Yangxu stopped seeing it. Forced, after the banquet was over and the group exited, Xiao Yangxu asked
"Sect Master Fang has changed his mind"
Fang Qingyuan looked at the Zhangjiashan Gate in front of him , and did not directly answer Xiao Yangxu's question, he said
"Thank you Daoist Xiao for your help this time. There is no need to go to the next few houses. If the Zhang family doesn't take it, it will be the same for the next few houses." It's all in vain."
Xiao Yangxu was silent. He could feel Fang Qingyuan's attitude. It seemed that the Qingyuan Sect and the Zhang family were going to have to fight openly until one side bowed, and this result was , which is obviously what the head of the family wants to see.
Xiao Yangxu remembered Xiao Chuangong’s secret instructions when he set out. He hoped that the Qingyuan Sect could take the initiative to break his golden body and end up wading in the mud, or even falling in the mud and ending up in disgrace. The end will be good.
Fang Qingyuan took one last look at the Zhangjiashan Gate, and then took the people back to his sect.Later, Xiao Yangxu also stayed temporarily in Qingyuan Sect to communicate with the Zhang family in the future.
Half a month later, the Zhang family refused to express their position, and despite Xiao Yangxu asking him again and again, he refused to speak, obviously trying to force Fang Qingyuan to retreat.
Fang Qingyuan saw this, but he didn't seem very angry. It was just that the disciples in the sect couldn't hold back and wanted to get into a battle with the Zhang family.
After another half month, just one month since the last time the three families had a banquet together, news came from the Zhang family that the head of the Zhang family accidentally lost his temper while practicing meditation today. Xing lost his energy and fell into a state of obsession. He was confused and suffered serious injuries that were difficult to recover from.
As soon as the news came, many sects nearby were in an uproar. The head of the Zhang family would not be possessed by the devil sooner or later, so why did it happen at this time?
But no matter what others were saying, Thinking of this, Fang Qingyuan took this opportunity and took his disciples to express his condolences to express the good relationship between the two families.
There are three foundation-building monks in the Zhang family. The head of the family has always had all the power. He fell into a coma. The remaining two foundation-building monks did not want to share the same hatred, but started fighting among themselves for the next head of the family. A bit of a fight.
There are also discerning people in the Zhang family. They are naturally distressed when they see this scene. However, how can they compare to the head of the family who speaks lightly and makes a little noise.
Later, it was only with the help of Fang Qingyuan, Xiao Yangxu, and several surrounding sect families that the Zhang family did not really cause the tragedy of fratricide.
But the family cannot be left without a master for a day, so the two foundation builders of the Zhang family signed a contract under the witness of everyone, and took turns making decisions until the original head of the Zhang family woke up.
Taking this opportunity, the Zhang family also agreed to the Qingyuan Sect’s request to use the road to open up a trade route. Once the Zhang family agreed, naturally there would be no one in the following small families who were not as good as the Zhang family. Dare to object.
After getting a series of signed contracts, Mao Cheng smiled from ear to ear. He immediately sent his disciples to the wild border to prepare for the subsequent opening of the trade route.
Fang Qingyuan returned to the sect and began to think about the gains and losses of this operation.
Needless to say, what happened to the head of the Zhang family was naturally handled by Fang Qingyuan. He had thought about fighting the Zhang family with real swords and guns before, but after thinking about it, he still decided to use it. This method is better.
Don't leave any clues to the outside world. Even if the golden body of the three generations of Dazhou Academy is to be broken, it can't be wasted on the small Zhang family.
It would be easy for Fang Qingyuan to bring out the military array and defeat the Zhang family, because the head of the Zhang family was just a monk in the middle stage of foundation building and was not in Fang Qingyuan's eyes at all. But if this is the case, then we must consider exterminating the entire Zhang family, otherwise there will be an excuse for someone to use the name of the Zhang family to deal with the Qingyuan Sect in the future.
So you either have to do it or you can’t use this method. Fang Qingyuan just learned from the black hand’s intelligence that the remaining two foundations of the Zhang family were not good enough.How to deal with it all depends on the pressure of the head of the Zhang family. In the past, the head of the Zhang family was fine and nothing happened. Once something happens to him, there will be a chance.
So Fang Qingyuan spent less than three hundred high-grade spiritual stones to bribe the black hands to make the head of the Zhang family look like this. The reason why it was so expensive was entirely because of the customization, otherwise he would be killed directly. Yes, it’s actually cheaper.
At this point, the Qingyuan Sect has revealed its own methods in a small way. As for whether it will arouse the suspicion of the Dongming Sect, there is no way.
Seeing that the road was cleared, Fang Qingyuan sighed. After all, the method was not very clever and the traces were too heavy. Maybe next time he does this kind of thing again, he should ask his mentor Lechuan for advice. With the help of experts in this field, I must be able to take my time more calmly.
After thinking about this, Fang Qingyuan closed his eyes with peace of mind and began to meditate silently. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
