Chapter 58: Fame
An Wenjian is also working hard to arrange the formation today - in this deceitful world of cultivating immortals, only the layers of formations can make him feel a trace of warmth.
"Huh?"
An Wen sensed that a monk had touched the Protector Array, but it was very light: "Guest." β
After coming into contact with Shui Qing and several Baihualou monks, An Wenjian knew that even if he stayed still, he might still encounter other monks, so he had already prepared.
"It's not good to keep guests waiting too long."
An Wen thought of it, and one accelerated, and came to the gate briskly, and saw two handsome young men there.
"Below is the sect leader of the Anjian faction, Ping'an."
An Wenjian took the initiative to step forward and greeted: "What do you call the two Taoist friends?" β
"I've seen the Sect Master of Ping'an!"
Fuyun reacted quickly, clenched his fists, and bowed in return.
[Tsk, it's really bad luck, as soon as I came up, I met the master of a sect! ] The breath is actually the same as that of mortals, it is really an excellent method of breathing. He came over much faster than me, at least in the Mortal Realm. Coupled with this Sect Protector Great Array, the strength of the sect should be no worse than our Qingyun Sword Sect. γ
A few thoughts flashed through Fuyun's heart, and he introduced himself: "I am Qingyun Sword Sect, Yun Jianfeng, the big disciple under the seat, Fuyun!" β
Liuyun's reaction was a beat slower, but he had his own senior brother as an example, and he learned from him: "I am Qingyun Sword Sect, Yun Jianfeng, the fifth disciple under the seat, Liuyun!" β
"It turned out to be a fellow Daoist of the Qingyun Sword Sect."
An Wen naturally didn't know what the Qingyun Sword Sect was, so he decisively changed the topic: "I don't know what happened to the two Daoists who came to my An Jian faction today?" β
"Today, our two brothers and sisters were ordered by the teacher to look for a medicinal herb nearby."
Fuyun said slowly: "Our Qingyun Sword Sect is nearby, so we are familiar with this area. I was here a while ago, but there was nothing at the time. Today, when I suddenly saw your sect, I couldn't help but be puzzled, so I took the liberty to come and disturb it, hoping that the sect master of peace would forgive me. β
"I see."
An Wen smiled friendly: "Our An Jian faction has indeed only arrived here in the past year. With the help of several Taoist friends in Baihualou, he learned that this area was a borderless land, so he was cheeky to occupy it. β
The analysis has been sufficient, the cultivation of the two is not high, and they do not carry any dangerous magic weapons, so they immediately control the formation and open a gap: "The person who comes is a guest, and the two Taoist friends are invited." Let me give you a brief introduction to our Anjian faction. β
Liuyun wanted to refuse politely, but his senior brother preemptively said: "Thank you Sect Master Ping'an, we are welcome." β
After speaking, he grabbed Liuyun and walked in with An Wenjian.
An Wenjian took the two of them to visit the An Jian faction briefly, and finally politely watched the two leave.
No gifts were given.
"Smell,"
An Xiaofu came over and asked, "Are you calculating something again?" β
"Don't say that I'm calculating people all day long."
An Wen couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it: "I have come into contact with the sect outside the Baihua Building." Next, the existence of our Anjian Sect should gradually be known by the other sects around it. Not surprisingly, each sect will send people to contact us. In short, first try to maintain friendly relations with other sects as much as possible. β
"Monks are so peaceful."
An Xiaofu pouted, "If we didn't seem unprofitable, even if they heard that you were trying to maintain friendship, they would try to take advantage of you." β
"I know. So over the past year, I've been strengthening the Protector Array. β
An Wenjian turned to look at the main body of the building embedded in the cliff: "We are trying our best to maintain friendship in order to show our friendly attitude to the other monks. If anyone thinks we are bullied because of this, they will show their muscles to the other monks when they are in trouble on the other side. β
"Yes, yes, it's famous, I know."
An Xiaofu said dryly.
Although she already understands An Wenjian's thoughts, she doesn't like to be so passive after all.
An Wen saw a wry smile on his face and sent An Xiaofu to practice swords, turned around and continued to refine the formation.
β¦β¦
In the next three months, as An Wen thought about it, the surrounding sects, large or small, came to visit one after another.
Among these monks were men and women, old and young.
An Wenjian wholeheartedly received every monk who came to visit and communicated with them as kindly as possible. There were even a few formations that were interested, and after showing a little "sincerity", An Wenjian also taught them a few formations.
I don't know if An Wen saw that the cultivation of the Jindan Period (Transformation Realm) had a certain deterrent effect, or if the "wealth" on the face of the An Jian faction was really too little, and the monks of the sect who came to visit all looked kind, and they didn't come back to find trouble after leaving.
However, there are a few casual cultivators, seeing that An Wen is "immature", pretending to be a disciple of a big sect, trying to fool An Wen to pay the "protection fee".
For these people, An Wenjian directly used the formation to "lock them up in a small black room", and in just a few days, he could make these loose cultivators cry bitterly, and directly made a heavenly oath, saying that he would never dare again.
Three months later, the "reputation" of the Anjian faction had spread among the surrounding sects.
Regardless of whether the reputation is good or bad, including a few relatively large sects, all sects have a certain understanding of the Anjian faction:
There were very few peopleβthere were only three of them, including the spider spirit animal.
Don't grab resources - in the sect that shrinks under the cliff all day long, some spiritual plants and crops will be planted, obviously in the Huang Ancient Forest, but he never goes out to look for natural treasures.
The sect master is a bit naΓ―ve - although he is a mortal at a young age, he is hardly wary of other monks. I don't care about the most important formation inheritance of the sect, just ask for advice by any person, and with just a little "sincerity", you can learn a few formations with good results.
The key is very poor - I have never seen anyone from the An Jian faction go out shopping, not to mention any magic weapons, talismans, and pills in the entire sect, and even a single spirit stone cannot be seen. In terms of sect standards, it can be said that there are "four walls of the family".
The only thing that puzzled the other sects was the Anjian faction's Great Sect Protector Array, which was opened almost every day, but the Anjian faction obviously didn't have spirit stones.
Soon, someone got the answer from the mouth of that Hanhan sect masterβit turned out that a large number of spirit plants were used instead of spirit stones to set up the array. Because the spirit plant itself can absorb and restore the aura, there is no need to consume spirit stones.
Combined with the fact that the Anjian sect planted a large number of spiritual plants, as well as the fact that some monks had tested and were effective, this statement was quickly accepted by everyone.
According to the experience of these monks, it would not take long for a sect like the Anjian Sect, which had few people and was poor, to be difficult to maintain, and then collapsed.
At that time, the surrounding sects may take a fancy to An Wen and see the strength of this "former sect master", and send someone to recruit him, striving to add an elder with a little strength to his own sect.
Before that, the Anjian faction was of little value to the surrounding sects, and only a few monks came to the door to "consult" the formation.
But it didn't take long for An Wen to see that he was "hollowed out" and did not show more new formations, so no more monks came to the door.
The Anjian faction has returned to its former tranquility.
β¦β¦
"Smell, she's been lying for nine months."
At lunch that day, An Xiaofu suddenly looked in the direction of the infirmary: "It stands to reason that her body has already recovered, and there is no damage to her soul, why is she not awake?" β
"Maybe she doesn't want to accept reality no matter what."
An Wenjian remembered the results of his analysis and inference that night: "I can help her treat other injuries, but I can't do anything about psychological problems." Now she can only wait, and when she figures it out for herself, she will wake up. β
As a result, early the next morning, when An Wen saw the routine coming to confirm the little girl's physical condition, the latter had already sat up, his eyes were blank, and he looked out the window numbly.
"You're awake."
Although An Wenjian was surprised, his tone was flat: "You probably won't say the specific situation, so I won't ask." Do you have any plans for the future? β
As he spoke, he cast a spell and added water to the water cup placed at the head of the bed, warm: "Take a few sips to moisten your throat first, you have been lying for more than nine months, and you should be speechless for a while." β
The little girl turned her head blankly, glanced at An Wen, and then turned back and continued to look out the window.
"You seem to have misunderstood something."
An Wenjian suddenly reached out and pinched the little girl's face, broke her mouth a little harder, and used a spell to send warm water directly into it, and stepped into the stomach: "You and I don't know each other, and it has nothing to do with me whether you want to live or die." But since I saved you, I want to see you alive. It's best if you're willing to cooperate, and if you don't, I don't mind using some brutal tactics. β
When An Wen pinched her face, a little unhappiness appeared in the little girl's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and she continued to look out the window numbly.
"You seemed upset just now."
An Wenjian suddenly smiled: "Yes, no matter what, you still have the reaction of a normal person." β
The little girl turned her head stiffly, staring at An Wenjian, stuck: "Why, what, don't let me, I die?" β
"I want to ask you why you don't want to live."
An Wen saw that he immediately said a word, and after speaking, he lowered his head and thought for a second, and said, "If you have to say a reason... You're about the same age as my daughter, and I don't want to see you die as a little girl before you can appreciate the beauty of the world. β
"I'm not small."
The little girl said, "I'm already twenty, ten, eight years old. β
