Chapter 346 Volume C Kuixing Pavilion, Sun Family

In the next few days, Chen Huaisheng took Min Qingyu, Hu Delu and others to search for a suitable cave dwelling in the surrounding area.

The entire Wolong Ridge is quite large, and even the lowest-lying Longlin Plateau is dozens of miles in size.

If you really want to find a cave near Longlinyuan, you can find it, but Chen Huaisheng still hopes to choose a more quiet and private place.

The highest peak, Longshou Peak, is in the north and farthest.

Its main peak is seventy or eighty miles away from Longlinyuan, and is far away from Biji Peak, which is two hundred miles away to the north and is the highest peak on the entire Fuyang Road.

Cang Long's back is to the west, with the largest area and the most complex terrain.

Although it has the name of "Dragon's Back", it is actually composed of more than a dozen ridges and valleys of different sizes superimposed vertically and horizontally, with countless streams, deep pools, underground rivers, sinkholes, cliffs, cliffs and dangerous peaks.

This is also where many caves of Dongxuan Sect were located the year before last, but they have been lost in the long river of history and can no longer be found.

Now if you want to find a suitable cave, it would be too difficult if there is no path.

"The collapse of Dongxuan Sect is a mystery. Because the interval was too long, no one can tell for sure. There are different opinions, mostly based on rumors."

Min Qingyu was the most interested, but frowned deeply: "It would be great if I could find the relevant scrolls, but it's a pity that I asked my family and there is no record of this."

"Your father and grandfather don't have any clues?" Chen Huaisheng also felt it was a pity.

He hopes to get over it once and for all.

If you search around like this without any clue, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the cave you find may not be the best. If there is a better one in the future, won't you have to move again?

He didn't want to go through such trouble, but hoped to find the most suitable one based on the pictures, so that he could put a lot of effort into building it.

But where is this picture?

If there is such a picture, I am afraid it will not exist in the possession of small clans like Minjialou or Shitangzhuang.

Maybe there might be one like Bajiao Village or the Tianhe Sect on Zhangchi Road next to the Ning family in Youzhou?

"No, my father has also asked some surrounding clans, but he has no impression. The existence of Dongxuan Sect is too far away for everyone. It can only exist in history books. At that time, our clans may have been just ordinary people, and there was no such thing at all. Opportunities in this area.”

Min Qingyu shook his head regretfully, "Maybe the sects of the same era as the Dongxuan Sect will have some things in this regard, but most of them will keep to themselves, and I'm afraid they won't care too much about other sects, unless..."

"Unless what?" Chen Huaisheng asked.

"Unless it was a sect or aristocratic family that was in a state of hostility or alliance with Dongxuan Sect at that time." Min Qingyu said thoughtfully.

"Oh?" Chen Huaisheng rubbed his chin, "It was nearly a thousand years ago when the Dongxuan Sect was destroyed. Are there any other sects and families around that time that were related to the Dongxuan Sect? Maybe we can start from this aspect."

"The Du family in Bajiao Village has only grown up slowly in the past four to five hundred years, while the Ding family is closer and has only a hundred years of history here. I'm afraid there are no records." Min Qingyu shook his head.

Ren Wugou glanced at Min Qingyu and continued: "Taoist, the Sun family of Baita City was one of the top aristocratic families in Fuyang a thousand years ago, but it declined later. Now it is mainly engaged in the production of magical instruments and also the business of talismans. , quite famous, maybe you can go there to visit and look through their original books and records, maybe you can gain something.”

Min Qingyu got angry and said, "By the way, Taoist master, although the Ning family in Youzhou belongs to Youzhou, it is very close to our Fuyang. It is a thousand-year-old family. There may be news in this regard. An aunt of Qingyu married into the Ning family. …”

This can only be regarded as finding a needle in a haystack, but if you don't do it, you can only search aimlessly, which will take more energy.

Chen Huaisheng still didn't give up. He walked against the wind and spent two days along the line between Longlinyuan and Canglong's back. He ran around in a circle and found nothing.

The area is too large. Although some spiritual sites, caves, and pools with good conditions have been found, it is difficult to meet all the conditions.

It would be too time-consuming and laborious to search in such detail, and it might take three to five months to find a satisfactory one.

"Is this Kuixing Pavilion?" Chen Huaisheng came to Baita City for the first time. Looking at the bustling crowd, he was quite shocked.

This should be the largest city in the entire Fuyang Road.

The situation here in Hebei is completely different from that in Da Zhao.

Taking Yanzhou as an example, although Yanzhou's six roads have a population of 12 million, Fuyang Road has a population of just over 2 million and is divided into three areas.

In the east, Baita City is the core. The population of Baita City is actually only about 100,000, and the rest are all in the countryside.

The southwest is centered on Bajiao Village, but there are only tens of thousands of people in Bajiao Village, and the other hundreds of thousands of people are located in the vast countryside.

The north has the largest population, but there are almost no decent towns or market towns. Instead, there are seven or eight larger villages and dozens of small villages scattered across this land like stars.

On the other hand, in Da Zhao, even a small Liao County has a population of over 100,000, but the county population accounts for almost more than one-third.

The entire Yiyang Prefecture is almost like this. Every county has a town with the county seat as the core, and each prefecture has prefecture governance, and every county has county governance.

The locations of these administrative offices naturally formed central cities or towns.

"Well, this is the most prosperous Tiankui Street in Baita City. The one running north and south is Xinghe Street. The intersection of these two streets is the most prosperous place. The Ding family did not choose to live in the city, but lived in the manor outside the north gate of the city..."

Min Qingyu introduced the situation before Ren Wujiu. Ren Wujiu was furious, but he couldn't get angry. He could only look at this shameless woman with hatred.

"Well, the Ding family requires safety, so they will definitely choose to set up formations and prohibitions outside the city. Besides, Master Ding is a purple mansion, but other people may not have such high attainments. Moreover, the Ding family monopolizes the benefits of Baita City. How can other casual cultivators and alien cultivators from other places not have any ideas?"

Chen Huaisheng analyzed: "So the Ding family is actually not as good as its reputation. There are many hidden worries."

The head master personally led the team to Baita City. Chen Huaisheng almost followed him, but he did not contact Shang Jiuling.

He came to Kuixing Pavilion this time just to try his luck.

This Kuixing Pavilion is run by the Sun family and has a history of a thousand years. In addition to making and selling magic tools, talismans, and Taoist magic books, it also trades other types of spiritual materials. It is a well-known and largest market in the entire Fuyang Dao.

Although the Sun family has declined, it is still considered a prominent family in Baita City. However, in the past one or two hundred years, although there are many Taoist seeds in the Sun family, there are almost no talents with extraordinary talents. In the past hundred years, the most successful one is only a fourth-level foundation building, and most people are hovering below the foundation building.

In this world, if you have no strength, it is your original sin. A mere second-level foundation building cannot bear the responsibility of controlling the entire Baita City.

The Ding family, a casual cultivator from Dazhaoji County, gradually gained a foothold in Baita City. Fifty years ago, Ding Zongshou, with the strength of the seventh-level foundation building, officially became the actual controller of the Baita City area.

The Sun family was also quite tactful and married their legitimate daughter to Ding Zongshou’s son Ding Yuangao early on, and the two families became in-laws.

With Ding Zongshou's success in ascending to the Purple Palace after overcoming the catastrophe 20 years ago, the situation in Baita City has completely stabilized.

With the support of the Ding family, the Sun family naturally has less to worry about. The business is also growing bigger and bigger, gradually becoming the largest spiritual material and magic weapon trader in Fuyang Dao.

"Let's go. Since we are here, we naturally have to take a look. Even if we can't achieve our goal, if we can encounter some suitable magic weapons and talismans, it is better than nothing."

Chen Huaisheng waved his hand and took the two women into Kuixing Pavilion.

Seeing the three people coming in, someone immediately came out to greet them, "Master, is there anything you need to purchase or sell? Do you want me to introduce you?"

His eyes wandered around the store. It was indeed a large scale. The outermost layer should be the general merchandise business. Chen Huaisheng took a quick look and saw that most of them sold various kinds of elixirs.

Seeing that the other party was handsome, gentle and thoughtful, neither humble nor arrogant, Chen Huaisheng also looked up to this market.

It seems that although the Sun family has fallen, its foundation is still there. Chen Huaisheng feels more and more that the Chonghua Sect should include the Ding family.

If the Ding family is really unwilling to join the Chonghua Sect, then the Chonghua Sect must find a way to control the Kuixing Pavilion of the Sun family.

The commerce in Hebei is far less developed than that in Dazhao, and the only decent city in Fuyang Road is Baita City, and the most important thing about Baita City to the Chonghua Sect is the market.

The Chonghua Sect itself is very weak in sideline business, and after arriving in Hebei, this shortcoming has become more and more obvious, and even become a weakness. If it can get the support of the Sun family, or take the Sun family into its own hands, then the shortcomings of the Chonghua Sect in this regard can be made up.

The guest receptionist also saw that Chen Huaisheng's identity was not ordinary.

Qi Refining Seventh Level is nothing. The guests that Kuixing Pavilion welcomes and sends off every day are all cultivators. Not to mention Qi Refining Seventh Level, even Foundation Building is very common, and even Zifu has seen it.

But after being in the market for a long time, the art of observing people is naturally the best.

Chen Huaisheng is already at the seventh level of Qi Refining at such a young age, which is not simple, and there are two female cultivators who are like maids accompanying him, which adds a bit of mystery.

"Well, we are outsiders, and we have just arrived. We have heard of the great reputation of Kuixing Pavilion in Yanzhou for a long time. If you can introduce it, it would be the best." Chen Huaisheng nodded.

"Then do you want to buy, sell, or pawn it?" The guest greeter asked again with a smile.

Chen Huaisheng also laughed: "What do you mean?"

"Sir, our Kuixing Pavilion mainly sells various magic tools, talismans, spiritual materials, and elixirs, but we also consider that it is inconvenient for cultivators to go out, so we are also willing to help people in an emergency and are willing to purchase various materials. At the same time, we can also pawn them to facilitate the redemption of customers. Everything is based on the principle of convenience for customers."

The guest greeter was also quite proud in his words.

"Okay, then please introduce it." Chen Huaisheng felt that this Kuixing Pavilion was really not simple.

Perhaps the cooperative marriage between the Sun family and the Ding family is not as simple as imagined, but even so, the more the Chonghua Sect wants to take down the Ding family and the Sun family.

Should I remind the head master?
