Chapter 96: Evil cultivator assassination! Baibaolou is worthy of being the number one magic weapon specialty store in Nanshanfang. In addition to the main magic robes, it also has a large stock of offensive magic weapons such as magic swords. After Ruan Qingzhu gave the order, a cultivator immediately took out a batch of the best magic swords in stock for Xiao Changqing to choose from. In the end, Xiao Changqing selected two magic swords of top-grade first-class quality and four magic swords of upper-grade first-class quality. "I want all six. How many spirit stones are they in total?" Xiao Changqing asked. "The original price is three thousand seven hundred and forty-nine low-grade spirit stones. After the discount, Master Xiao Fu will pay... two thousand eight hundred low-grade spirit stones will be enough." Ruan Qingzhu quoted the price. The discount is huge. Even ordinary cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage cannot enjoy such a big discount when they come to the Treasure House. This is true even for Cao Haolai, who is in the middle stage of foundation building. After all, Baibaolou is part of Baihua Valley's business. Although Ruan Qingzhu is the shopkeeper, he is actually just an employee.
Every year, someone will come to check every magical instrument and every account in the store. Ruan Qingzhu used part of her own credit limit to help Xiao Changqing get a discount because Xiao Changqing had saved her son's life. "Thank you very much, Manager Ruan." Xiao Changqing completed the payment very quickly. He also knew that Ruan Qingzhu was giving him a huge discount, so he didn't bargain. That is to say, now, he can spend nearly three thousand low-grade spirit stones without blinking an eye. A few years ago, I wouldn't even dare to think about it. Even for many cultivators in the early stage of foundation building who have less wealth, it is not an easy task to take out three thousand low-grade spirit stones. That is to say, Xiao Changqing is a second-level talisman master, the only one in Nanshanfang, and has a strong ability to earn spirit stones; and with Lin Zixi running Guangju Tower, he has a huge fortune. From this point of view, it is understandable that the foundation-building cultivator behind Laifeng Tower was unwilling to leave Nanshanfang and go to Daxian City to venture out. He only bought a first-level magic weapon. If he wanted to buy a second-level magic weapon, how much would it cost? Low-grade spirit stones would cost tens of thousands! "Shopkeeper Ruan, I will hold a small foundation-building celebration in three days. If you have time, remember to come and participate." Xiao Changqing extended the invitation before leaving. Ruan Qingzhu quickly nodded and agreed: "I will definitely be there." …… Just when Xiao Changqing was preparing to build Xiaoqing's foundation. Outside Nanshanfang, some contradictory voices appeared in the evil cultivators' formation that had been unable to attack for a long time. Originally in the evil cultivator's plan, the first place to be attacked was Yinyefeng Market, and the next one should be Nanshan Market. Then there is Taohuafang. As a result, Yinye Peak was easily breached as planned, but the subsequent plan to invade Nanshanfang was disrupted.
Originally, the evil cultivator, the Jindan cultivator 'Young Master Yin San', had personally planned the plan, expended a lot of energy on it, and even used a forbidden item that was very rare among the evil cultivators today, but in the end he still failed. They had to temporarily adjust their target and attack Taohuafang first. As a result, the Sun family of Taohuafang had unexpected strength and spent a lot of money to recruit thugs, resulting in a stalemate. The evil cultivator changed his mind again, turned around and besieged Nanshanfang, preparing to take it down by force. Then the Cao family had a patriarch who was in the middle stage of foundation building, plus a group of late stage Qi refining cultivators who possessed second-order talismans and could threaten the foundation building stage, guarding Nanshanfang tightly. "Yin San, the higher-ups are now extremely dissatisfied with our progress! For nearly half a year, we have gained nothing except a small Silver Leaf Peak!" "If this continues, I'm afraid the punishment will have to befall you and me!" More than a hundred miles away from Nanshanfang, a female cultivator with a seductive appearance and a hot body looked coldly at a handsome young man holding a folding fan next to her. Master Yin San, who always appears to be a gentle and upright gentleman, does not look very happy at this moment. In the task distribution, it was his task to capture Nanshanfang, but what he thought was an easy and sure thing was now stuck! It's like a bone in your throat, you can neither swallow it nor spit it out. Who could have thought that his foolproof plan would be destroyed by an ant in the Qi Refining Stage? First, he eliminated Mu Renjie, whom he had high hopes for, which made Nanshanfang's plan to collapse on its own fail, and directly affected all his subsequent plans. Not long ago, he decided to have his men attack with force, and took Nanshanfang with a tyrannical attitude, and killed Cao Hao, the strongest man in Nanshanfang. But it was because of Xiao Changqing, who sold second-level talismans in Nanshanfang, which greatly improved the foundation-building combat power of Nanshanfang, making his plan fail. If the time had not come yet and he could not take action personally, he would have disregarded his status and bullied the weak, captured Xiao Changqing, skinned him alive, imprisoned his soul, and tortured him day and night! "If you are willing to help me, lend me all your men, and unite them, it would be enough to capture Nanshanfang half a month ago!" Yin San Gongzi looked at the charming Snake Ji and said unkindly. Snake Ji sneered: "I will lend you my men, can you give me the credit? Besides, who told me long ago that Nanshanfang was in my pocket and everything was under control? But now you need my help!" Among evil cultivators, interests are of the utmost importance. Even if they are in the same formation, it is normal for them to scheme against each other. In fact, it is not just the evil cultivators, it is also the same among the righteous cultivators. The Third Young Master Yin looked at the direction of Nanshanfang from afar and said in a cold voice, "Don't be sarcastic. Just wait. The mountain protection formation of Nanshanfang has been studied almost thoroughly. It cannot be breached head-on, but it is not a problem to tear a hole. When the time comes, we only need to send people to sneak into Nanshanfang secretly and assassinate Xiao Changqing. Then, Nanshanfang will lose its source of second-level talismans, and it will be breached sooner or later." Snake Princess touched her cheek charmingly and said enchantingly, "Even if you can sneak into Nanshanfang, are you sure you can successfully assassinate Xiao Changqing? This little guy killed Mu Renjie, who you have high hopes for? Mu Renjie refined the Netherworld Holy Stone. Even if he didn't completely merge and lose his mind, and can't be compared to the real Jindan realm, he is at least in the late stage of foundation building. Who among your men can be 100% sure to successfully assassinate this little guy? What's more, two months ago, this little guy had successfully established his foundation. How strong can you be sure of?" As she spoke, Snake Princess chuckled again and said, "Or do you think that Mu Renjie was not killed by Xiao Changqing, and this is just a rumor spread by Luoxia Sect? Do you want to gamble again?" The Third Master Yin didn't want to say too much. He regained his confidence and said calmly, "You just have to wait and see!" He lost twice, how could he continue to gamble? This time, of course, we are 100% sure that we can assassinate Xiao Changqing! He did not underestimate Xiao Changqing, or rather, he tried to think highly of him. Even if he was really as rumored, his soul was much stronger than that of cultivators at the same level, and he also knew the secret art of spiritual awareness, he could threaten or even kill cultivators in the late stage of foundation building. Then…if his secret technique of spiritual awareness becomes useless, what kind of trouble can this damn little ant cause? So what if the foundation is successfully established? A cultivator who is just in the initial stage of building his foundation is not an ant, but just a larger grasshopper. It is not difficult to assassinate him. Under his arrangement this time, Xiao Changqing will be dead without a doubt! The assassination of Xiao Changqing left Nanshanfang without the subsequent source of second-order talismans. If they launched a few more attacks and used up all the existing second-order talismans, Nanshanfang would have no room to struggle. …… ……
In the blink of an eye, it was already three days later. Xiao Changqing did not invite too many people to his foundation-building celebration, only less than twenty people in total. Most of them were old friends who had once been the master of the Yishi Cave Mansion. As for those who were unfamiliar to Xiao Changqing and wanted to curry favor with him, Xiao Changqing rejected them all. He has no shortage of gifts now, and he is not afraid of losing face or offending anyone. It is worth mentioning that. Mu Chunfeng was also invited by Xiao Changqing to participate. This is equivalent to sending a signal to the outside world that Xiao Changqing recognizes Mu Chunfeng as his friend, and some people in Nanshanfang who want to beat up the Mu family when they are in trouble can be more restrained. Although Xiao Changqing did not use the foundation-building pill given by Mu Chunfeng when building his foundation this time, he did not plan to return it and kept it for future use. So since you have agreed to help the Mu family, do it thoroughly. When Mu Chunfeng appeared at the celebration, everyone who attended the small celebration naturally knew this former "Miss" who was the number one in Nanshanfang. Then he suddenly realized why the Cao family suddenly stopped targeting the Mu family two months ago, withdrew the Mu family from the position of the "Suicide Squad", and began to spend a large amount of spirit stones and various treasures to recruit monks to take over. It turns out that it wasn't because the Cao family was merciful, but because Xiao Changqing wanted to protect the Mu family! What’s interesting is that the two foundation-building members of the Cao family did not attend Xiao Changqing’s foundation-building celebration in person, but only arranged for a clan member who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining to deliver gifts on their behalf. Cao Hao asked his clansmen to convey a message, congratulating Xiao Changqing on his advancement to the Foundation Establishment Stage. He said that he had been injured in the last fight with the evil cultivator and needed recuperation, so he would not be attending the celebration. As for the Cao family's supreme elder, he didn't even say a word and simply didn't come. Xiao Changqing didn't care about it. Anyway, he had no relationship with the Cao family. There can't be two tigers in one mountain. He lives in the Jiayi Cave Mansion and is the most famous in Nanshanfang. It is estimated that some people in the Cao family have had opinions about him for a long time. As for the fact that he helped the Mu family and made the Cao family make concessions two months ago, it was just a fuse. Xiao Changqing suspected that if the evil cultivators had not attacked and besieged Nanshanfang, the Cao family might have attacked him! Of course, Xiao Changqing now really wants the Cao family to take action against him, so that he can test his strength after building his foundation. The celebration lasted for three full hours. Both the guests and the hosts had a great time. When it was getting dark, everyone left one after another. The gifts sent by everyone were all valuable and expensive, and Xiao Changqing was not stingy in his hospitality. He also explained to several cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining who still had hope of building a foundation some of his experiences and processes in breaking through the foundation. It may not be useful, but it can give them some peace of mind. "Master, Manager Ruan is back again. He said he has something important to discuss with you alone..." Xiao Changqing rested for a while and was about to go back to the practice room to practice when suddenly Lin Ziyu came to report. (End of this chapter)
