Chapter 169: The Passage of Years
Since returning to the family after building the foundation, and now quietly leaving, it has only been a year and a half.
It can be said that it comes and goes in a hurry.
However, for immortal cultivators, it is normal to wander in all directions.
The path of cultivation begins with a single step, and going to various places to find opportunities is what a seeker should do.
In this Pingling Mountain Range, the monks in the middle stage of foundation building can be called top monks.
It can be seen that the resources of this place are limited and not enough to support the later monks.
If Fang Yuan wanted to cultivate further, he could only go out, go to other places, and look for opportunities.
If you continue to stay here, you will only waste your time.
What's more, he has been building the foundation for more than two years, and according to the rules of the Extreme Yang Sect, the general foundation building monks need to return to the sect within three years and report for the record.
Even if the time limit is exceeded, it won't have much impact, but it's not good at all.
And most importantly, the foundation building monks can also receive some benefits from the sect.
At the same time, some of the top secret techniques of the Extreme Yang Sect will also be open to him.
This is the benefit of the sect monks.
In the sect, the benefits enjoyed by Qi cultivation disciples are not much, but after the foundation is built, it is different.
Both the treatment and welfare of the foundation building monks have been greatly improved.
Therefore, after leaving the family this time, Fang Yuan was ready to return to the sect first.
The foundation building monk could escape in the sky, and Fang Yuan controlled the light to shuttle between the clouds, and the speed was extremely fast.
Like a long rainbow, it passed away.
At this time, it is the season of spring flowers, everything recovers, and the grass grows and the warbler flies.
Fang Yuan was not in a hurry to leave.
Along the way, the pace is sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
In this way, more than two months passed.
……
It's the end of April.
On the Qinglan River in Jiazhou, a flat boat slowly sailed out of the water.
At the bow of the boat was an old man in a hat and a robe, his face was weathered, and his thick hands were full of calluses. The old man was paddling hard.
Although life is hard and simple, the old man hums an unknown tune in his mouth, which is particularly open-minded.
"Gui Yi Xilan oar, hit the sky and trace the streamer......"
In the cabin was a young girl, dressed in a coarse cloth dress, and her jet-black hair was tied up with hemp rope, looking very capable.
Although there is no powder on the face, it is also very delicate, perhaps because of the long years on the river, the face and the exposed arms and calves are a little dark.
But it's not ugly, it's a kind of healthy beauty anyway.
The girl sat cross-legged in the cabin, cooking something, and humming an unknown tune on her lips, looking very happy.
Under the careful cooking of the girl, the smoke curls and the aroma slowly overflows.
Smelling the fragrant scent, the girl smiled with satisfaction as her eyes crept into the bow of the boat.
Following the girl's gaze, there was a young man in a green robe standing on the bow of the boat.
The young man stood on the bow of the boat, looking into the distance, as if he was looking at something, and the whole person had a unique temperament, which made people involuntarily attracted by it.
This person is none other than Fang Yuan who left the family.
However, it was said that Fang Yuan had traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, traveled the world, and had traveled to several state cities.
Now he has come to Jiazhou, which is not far from the Extreme Yang Sect.
After coming here, I happened to meet this pair of ancestors and grandchildren who made a living from the river by the river.
Seeing this vast river and boundless beauty, Fang Yuan had the interest of swimming in the river.
So he did not harness the light, but rented the old man's ship with worldly money.
He didn't give more, only more than ten taels.
It's not that Fang Yuan is stingy, but that the husband is innocent and guilty, if he gives the old man too much money at once, it may bring them unwarranted disasters.
It was not a parent, and there was no need for Fang Yuan to deliberately help them.
There is a poor life in poverty, and there is a rich life in wealth.
Everyone has their own way of living, although the grandparents are not rich, but they live happily and happily.
Fang Yuan would not change their lives.
"Ride a flat boat...... A millet ...... the sea"
Standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the calm river, my heart is as calm as water.
Now it is the time of mid-spring, the time of April in the world.
The peach blossoms on both sides of the Qinglan River are blooming, and the boat passes through the river, and the scenery on both sides of the river is unobstructed.
The old man rowed the boat, Fang Yuan looked at the beautiful scenery, and the girl sat in the cabin boiling thick soup.
If a painter sees this scene, a picture of a boat will definitely be able to leap onto the paper.
The boat slowly sailed into the middle of the river, and under the impact of the downstream, it sailed into the distance.
The old man didn't shake the oars either, put them on his sides, and turned back.
When the girl saw the old man, she exclaimed, "Grandpa......
"Good granddaughter, what is delicious, it is so fragrant!"
The old man twitched his nose vigorously and said with some exaggeration, his eyes full of pampering.
The grandparents and grandchildren are happy.
Hearing her grandfather's praise, the girl lowered her head a little shyly, and whispered, "It's the soup cooked with green jade and white fish......
"Why did you boil my green jade white fish? …… That's worth three taels of silver...... If it is sold to Bichun Building, I can't say that I will give four taels......"
When the old man heard that the girl had cooked the hard-won and priceless green jade and white fish, he suddenly felt a little distressed.
But despite this, he did not blame his granddaughter.
He has lived most of his life, and money is not as important to him as he imagined.
In this Qinglan River, the most famous is this green jade white fish. This fish is extremely delicious, one is worth three or four taels of silver, and there is no market.
The old man also happened to catch such a fish in the morning, and he planned to sell it in the market in the evening.
I didn't think about it, but I was cooked by his precious children and grandchildren.
"Isn't it just a fish......"
Seeing her grandfather's exaggerated appearance, the girl was a little embarrassed, and her eyes quietly looked at Fang Yuan at the bow of the boat.
Seeing the girl's eyes, the old man seemed to understand something and shook his head slightly.
As an old man over half a hundred years old, he has never seen any strong winds and waves, and his granddaughter who gets along day and night is obviously a spring heart.
Merely......
Fang Yuan was dressed in a gorgeous costume, with an extraordinary shot, and that unique and noble temperament, at first glance, he was an extraordinary person who was either rich or noble.
But his granddaughter is ......
didn't open his mouth to poke it, but the old man beckoned, "Childe, it's windy on the river, let's drink fish soup to warm up!" ”
"This fish is a green jade white fish, and the taste is extremely delicious!"
The old man is not stingy, and he is willing to share the priceless fish with others.
"yes...... Childe tasted it, it was fragrant! ”
The girl plucked up her courage and sent an invitation to Fang Yuan.
The young man in front of her can be said to be the best-looking person she has seen in the past ten years, and her temperament is so unique.
The girl is still young, and she doesn't know what likes and love are.
However, she did have a good impression of Fang Yuan at first sight, otherwise she would not have cooked the white fish.
How could she not know that this fish was worth a fortune?
It can only be said that girlish feelings are always poetry.
Hearing the invitation of the two, Fang Yuan came back to his senses, and he did not have an arrogant and dismissive attitude.
Instead, he said something approachable, "Oh? Yes, I have long heard that this green jade and white jade is a must in Jiazhou, and I can taste it today, it is really an unexpected joy, so thank you to the old man and the girl! ”
"No thanks, no thanks, let's try it...... Drink hot! ”
Seeing Fang Yuan walk in, the girl hurriedly filled a bowl of soup and handed it to Fang Yuan, her eyes full of anticipation.
"So! It's disrespectful in the next place! ”
is not hypocritical, Fang Yuan took the dishes and chopsticks, tasted a bite, and said with praise, "It's really delicious, the girl has good craftsmanship!" ”
Hearing Fang Yuan's praise, the girl suddenly saw a crooked eye, full of joy.
Just as he was about to say something, a melancholy voice came from the side, "Oh, my old man hasn't taken a sip yet, tsk!" ”
After hearing her grandfather's words, the girl's words suddenly stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say anything.
After a moment, she glanced at her grandfather angrily, and then handed him a bowl of fish soup.
The bowl was full of white fish.
In the place where the spiritual veins converge, there are spiritual beings.
There are many forms of spiritual objects, the most common are three kinds, one is the spirit tree, the other is the spirit jade, and the third is this spiritual spring.
Fang Yuan dug a canal next to the bubbling earth hole and led it to the soil pit that had been dug earlier.
After a short time, there is a spring water gushing out, and gradually converges into a spiritual spring pool.
Looking at the spring water that was bubbling with wisps of spiritual energy, Fang Yuan had a satisfied smile on his face.
Since there is a spiritual spring, this place must be a spiritual vein node in the second-order spiritual mountain.
Building a cave on the node, and then using the spirit gathering formation to gather the spiritual energy, is a common practice for foundation building monks to open up the cave.
Fang Yuan is now going to open a mansion here, and naturally it is no exception.
After finding the spiritual vein node, the next step is naturally to open the mansion.
It's just that there is a shortage of manpower now, so it's just a temporary residence.
As for the real mansion, Fang Yuan planned to build a courtyard here.
Although most of the monks opened their mansions in the mountains, Fang Yuan did not like to live in the stone chambers.
So he planned to build a courtyard as a mansion.
Although the courtyard is farther away from the spiritual vein node. Gathering aura is even more troublesome.
But it's also relatively comfortable to live in, at least with bright light.
After opening up two stone chambers at random, Fang Yuan stopped moving.
After explaining the rest to Chen Nianling.
Fang Yuan shook his head, took out the Sanqu Town Formation, and began to lay it out in Qingyun Stream.
Sanqu Town Array, a total of three array flags, a jade array plate.
This formation has a special arrangement method, and ordinary people arrange it according to the information left by the sect formation mage, and most of them can be arranged according to the gourd painting scoop, but the power is difficult to say.
And Fang Yuan is different, he has studied the formation himself, although he is not a formation master who specializes in formation, but it is naturally not a problem to use the formation plate to arrange the formation.
Carefully placing the three array flags, Fang Yuan injected the Zhuji True Yuan into the formation plate, urging the formation, and in an instant, the surrounding spiritual power poured in frantically.
Fire attribute spiritual power and earth attribute spiritual power are integrated into the formation.
Light curtains tumbled.
Soon the Sanqu Town Ground Array rose.
At this time, from the outside, the appearance of Qingyunjian has changed greatly, and the originally high mountain rocks are slowly flattening. The mountain stream continues onwards and gradually flows into the lake downstream.
Qingyun Stream and the pool water here have completely disappeared.
Fang Yuanduan sat next to the array plate, and a smile appeared on his face:
"Thanks to the formation array given by the sect, in this way, it also saves a lot of effort."
In the formation, the fire attribute aura and earth attribute aura surged, enveloping the entire Qingyun Stream.
This Sanqu Town Formation is a dual formation of phantom formation and defense, and the effect is extremely strong.
After doing this, Fang Yuan took out one more array plate and began to arrange it.
Although the Sanqu Town Formation is powerful, it is a regional formation.
Although the entire region will be affected by the formation, it is inevitably a little weak.
In order to ensure the safety of this place, Fang Yuan also arranged the Nine Turns Turtle Breath Great Array that he had obtained from the Zhuji Cultivator.
Although they are all second-order formations, one is a regional class and the other is an individual, so there is no conflict.
Because of the experience of arranging this formation, the formation was quickly combined perfectly.
After arranging the two second-order formations, Fang Yuan did not give up, but arranged four more first-order formations around him: the Water Covering Array, the Water Yuan Array, the Water Gathering Array, and the Water Cloud Array.
These four formations are all water attributes.
There are only two functions, one is to gather the surrounding water attribute aura, and the other is defense.
The name of this place is Qingyun Stream, and there is the Canghe River flowing through, so the water vapor is abundant, and the water spiritual power is relatively rich and sufficient, and it is appropriate to arrange the water system formation.
It is precisely because of this that this place is not popular, the Extreme Yang Sect is a sect based on fire attribute exercises, and most of the disciples in the sect practice fire attribute exercises.
After arriving at the foundation, the place where the house was opened was also mostly the fire attribute spirit vein spirit mountain.
However, this Qingyun Stream is a spiritual mountain based on water attributes, and if it were not a second-order spiritual vein, it would not be put into the formation diagram.
But even so, most of the new foundation building monks would not choose this place.
Therefore, when Fang Yuan chose this place, Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Brother Shen would open their mouths to persuade him, and both of them could see that this place was not suitable for cultivation.
But Fang Yuan insisted on going his own way, so he went.
Fang Yuan chose this place, and naturally he also had his thoughts.
As soon as he came to this realm, his aura was already weak, and after he built the foundation, it was normal for his cultivation to be slow, and even in the place where the aura of the fire attribute was strong, his cultivation would not increase much.
Fang Yuan's cultivation had been in the middle stage of foundation building for more than two years.
In the past two years, although he has not practiced as diligently as he did during the Qi cultivation period, racing against time, he has never fallen behind.
However, the growth rate of his own cultivation is not satisfactory, although his cultivation is not without progress, but it is not far behind.
Therefore, the strength of the aura is not important to Fang Yuan, he wants more to see if the environment is beautiful.
And this green cloud stream is surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is exactly in line with the innate condition of a beautiful environment.
Second, it is precisely because of the abundant water vapor in this place that it is also more conducive to cultivating spiritual fields and planting spiritual things.
Foundation building cultivation is no better than practicing qi, and after reaching the foundation building period, more cultivation resources are needed.
It's impossible to kill people and accumulate resources like before.
Resources are hard to come by, and if Fang Yuan wants to accumulate wealth, farming is one of the easiest ways.
After a few moments, the four formations were arranged.
Fang Yuan input the True Yuan into it, and then put in the Spirit Stone, slowly urging this formation.
Airplanes!
Blue light slowly emitted from the four formations, and these four rays of light merged into one, forming a peculiar attraction.
With the appearance of this attraction, the water attribute aura quickly converged.
The aura around them became more intense at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And that's not all.
The key is that as the formation continues to operate, the power of the formation slowly flows into the lake downstream with the pool water. The water attribute spiritual power in the lake water also slowly went upstream.
In the formation, the spiritual power became more and more intense.
After the surrounding plants and trees are watered by this rich aura, they are refreshed, verdant, and vibrant.
