The rest of the journey was relatively smooth.

The so-called smoothness is not that there are no bandits, but that there is no danger.

As for the bandits.

For teenagers like Ling Jiuqiu and Fang Qingyi, who have no power and look relatively immature, it is normal to travel in the Taihang Mountains and encounter bandits every day.

Eight days down.

Ling Jiuqiu killed nearly two hundred bandits in total.

His Fire Element Martial Soul was successfully upgraded to a ground-level inferior grade on the third day.

The martial spirits that were plundered for the remaining days were all thrown into the Spirit Devouring Python pattern, trying to upgrade it.

However, the Spirit Devouring Python, which had already reached the middle grade of the prefecture level, relied on the martial souls devouring these rabble to upgrade, and the efficiency was too low.

The martial souls of the more than 100 bandits in the follow-up only increased the upgrade progress bar by more than half.

According to Ling Jiuqiu's prediction, the distance of the Spirit Devouring Python has been upgraded to the upper grade of the ground level, and at least seventy or eighty bandits need to be killed, or about ten martial souls of the same level.

On the afternoon of the ninth day after leaving Tailu City.

Ling Jiuqiu and Fang Qingyi rode horses to Ruidong City.

As the ancestral land of the Fang family, one of the two great families in the Liancang Domain, Ruidong City is far more prosperous than a small border city like Yongquan City, and even far better than any big city that Ling Jiuqiu has ever seen in this life.

According to the records on the map, Ruidong City covers an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers.

According to Fang Qingyi, Ruidong City has a permanent population of at least millions, and business is extremely prosperous, and the Fang family accounts for nearly half of most of the money-making industries.

When it came to this, Fang Qingyi didn't deliberately show off, but just elaborated with a calm mind.

Because she knew that none of this was her achievement. And with the talent and potential that Ling Jiuqiu showed, he would not feel restrained because of this.

The two rode horses and walked slowly on the main road more than fifty meters wide, then turned a few more corners, and only after about half an hour did they come to a luxurious mansion.

Directly above the gate of the mansion, there is a wide plaque with two upright gilt characters of 'Fang Fu'.

On both sides of the gate, there were six tall and large guards, all of whom were full of spirit and looked extremely powerful.

"Who's coming?"

When Ling Jiuqiu and the others stopped in the spacious open space in front of the Fang Mansion, they immediately attracted the attention of several guards.

After glancing at the two of them up and down, seeing that the two of them had extraordinary temperaments, one of the guards asked loudly.

The two rolled over and dismounted.

Fang Qingyi took out a token from his arms and threw it over: "I am Fang Qingyi, a disciple of the Sixth Courtyard of the side lineage, and my father Fang Boyuan, this is my identity token." ”

After the guard took it, he looked at it carefully for a while, then trotted in front of Fang Qingyi, put it with both hands, and said respectfully: "Welcome back to the house!" ”

After Fang Qingyi took back the token, he looked at Ling Jiuqiu and sincerely invited: "Jiuqiu, come in and sit down with me!" ”

Ling Jiuqiu shook his head: "No need. ”

"You have escorted me for so long, and when you come to the door and turn away, doesn't it seem that I don't understand etiquette?"

"Besides, it's already afternoon, and you can't set off today, so why don't you go in with me to have a look?"

Fang Qingyi looked at him expectantly.

Ling Jiuqiu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay then." ”

The guard bowed down and said, "Miss Fang, this son, please come with me." ”

After speaking, he led the two of them to the house.

As a top family, the Fang family has huge power, intertwined family members, and a large population.

Among them, the side line is divided into eight courtyards, and the average number of people in each courtyard is more than 1,000, which is comparable to the entire family like the Ling family.

Coupled with the more than 1,000 people in the lineage, all the family members combined, more than 10,000.

Coupled with some distant branches, as well as servants and guards, etc., the entire Fang family has a population of nearly 100,000!

Of course, most of them did not live in the Fang Mansion, but were scattered all over the Liancang Domain.

For example, the family of Fang Boyuan, the city lord of Yongquan City, although they belong to the sixth courtyard of the family, they live outside all the year round due to work.

Only a small number of people actually live in Fangfu.

But even so, the entire Fang Mansion was amazingly large, covering an area of more than fifty square kilometers.

Ling Jiuqiu and the two walked slowly with the guard in the mansion, and along the way, there were not only twenty or thirty meters high rockery, which looked magnificent and beautiful, but also a sparkling artificial lake, which was clean and elegant.

There are also various pavilions, small bridges and flowing waters, and high-rise buildings of five or six floors.

It's both beautiful and spectacular.

"It is worthy of being a top family, your Fang Mansion is really luxurious."

Ling Jiuqiu sighed softly.

The scene he saw here reminded him of the Forbidden City in his memory in his previous life, and the luxury of the two was comparable, and even the Fang Mansion was faintly superior.

Because the architects of this world can directly use the martial soul ability to build, the level of architecture is much higher than that of ancient times in the previous life, not only the shape is more exquisite, but there are also more high-rise buildings, faintly with a modern style.

And what Jiuqiu didn't know was that.

The gate they had just entered, although it looked luxurious, was actually just one of the side doors of the Fang Mansion.

Everything he saw now was only the tip of the iceberg of Fang Mansion.

Fang Qingyi walked while briefly introducing the layout of the Fang Mansion for Ling Jiuqiu.

Ten minutes later.

They came to the outside of a compound.

This is a group of mansions located in the interior of the Fang Mansion, which can be described as a courtyard within a courtyard, and it is more luxurious and atmospheric, like a palace.

This is the six courtyards next to Fangfu.

There were also two guards standing guard at the gate of the Sixth Courtyard, and when they saw the guards at the gate coming over with two people, they immediately looked over.

Fang Qingyi stepped forward, handed over the identity token again, and introduced his identity.

"Welcome Miss Fang home! Welcome, Childe! ”

The two guards at the door bowed down suddenly.

The guard at the gate greeted respectfully and turned to leave.

The two led the horses into the Sixth Courtyard, first came to the exclusive horse farm of the Sixth Courtyard, and after handing over the two horses to the servants of the horse farm, Fang Qingyi took him to the outside of one of the courtyards.

He said to the servant guarding the door: "Fang Qingyi, the daughter of Fang Boyuan of the Sixth Academy, returned from the countryside with her friends, and came to see the dean, please pass it on." ”

The dean is the head of the first academy of the side line, and he is also equivalent to the leader of this side line.

Fang Hanhai, the president of the Sixth Academy, is Fang Qingyi's grandfather.

"Yes!"

The servant hurriedly ran into the courtyard to report.

After a while, the servant trotted out: "Miss Fang, this son, the dean is in the cultivation room, let the little one bring the two over." ”

"Then lead the way!"

Fang Qingyi nodded.

Following the footsteps of the servant, the two of them turned two corners in the courtyard before they came to the door of a cultivation room.

"That's it, the dean just let the two of you go in directly."

When the servant had finished speaking, he turned and departed.

Fang Qingyi stepped forward, pushed open the door, and shouted happily:

"Grandpa, I'm back!"
