Chapter Seventy-Three: Self-inflicted humiliation
Because Liuyunfang City has become the only pure land for casual cultivation, the business of Fang City is also the main channel for many monks in the foundation building period to obtain cultivation resources.
The ban on the fang market is undoubtedly the key to gathering the strength of loose cultivation and protecting the fang market from intrusion, and it is also the key to gathering popularity.
The strength of Liuyunfang City has increased greatly, which is greater than all the families expected, but it is too late.
However, many immortal cultivators didn't care very much, because the scattered cultivators as a whole were already much weaker than they were a hundred years ago. Compared to a hundred years ago, the threat to them is already minimal.
A Liuyunfang City, no matter how much strength has increased greatly, can only live in a corner, continue to operate the Fang City, and earn some meager cultivation resources.
No matter how much the Xiuxian family attacks and merges with each other, they are all vested interests.
No matter which one Liuyunfang City takes the initiative to attack, it will affect the whole body, and it will cause all the immortal cultivation families to crusade. Even if their strength increased greatly, it was absolutely impossible for them to be the opponents of all the Immortal Cultivation Clans.
Moreover, this is not what it used to be, if Liuyunfang City takes the initiative to attack a certain family, it will also touch the ruling nerve of the Immortal Cultivation Sect.
The power of the Immortal Cultivation Sect is far more powerful than that of the Immortal Cultivation Family. The smallest immortal cultivation sect is also comparable in strength to a super immortal cultivation family.
Although the aura of heaven and earth in Jiujiang County is weak at present, few monks condense the golden pill. However, most of the immortal cultivation sects have a long heritage, and there are still Jindan period monks.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for a sect to pass it on.
After all, they occupy the most cultivation resources, and they are the fat that everyone is jealous of, and without the protection of strong force, they may fall apart in an instant and be eaten up by other immortal cultivators.
I just don't know if the Jindan period monks of these sects are in the sect, or if they go to other county capitals and find other spiritual mountain holy places to do penance.
But no matter what, as long as there are Jindan monks in the sect, it is a powerful deterrent. Whether it was the Immortal Cultivator Family or the Scattered Cultivator, they didn't dare to covet the resources they had.
The Immortal Cultivation Sect regards itself as the orthodoxy of the Immortal Cultivation Realm and is in the highest dominant position.
Although the Immortal Cultivation Sect was the nominal guardian of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, both the Immortal Cultivation Clan and the Scattered Cultivators were under their rule. However, it is an indisputable fact that the Immortal Cultivation Sect is relatively close to the forces of various families.
Although the Immortal Cultivation Sect is the official force in the Immortal Cultivation Realm and is the most powerful, it does not mean that there is no fight between them. On the contrary, the fight between them is even more fierce, and the losing side is often uprooted and killed.
Therefore, they also need allies to increase their own strength.
The various immortal cultivation families were naturally their preferred targets, because although there were many scattered cultivators, they were too scattered to form a unified leadership.
However, although the scattered cultivators played a limited role in the confrontation between the sects, they could balance the development of various immortal cultivation families in a sense.
Although the Immortal Cultivation Sect had a wooing attitude towards the Immortal Cultivation Family, they did not want the Immortal Cultivation Family's strength to be too inflated and threaten their dominance.
This is also the main reason why the scattered cultivators gathered on a large scale a hundred years ago to fight to the death with the family alliance, but the Immortal Cultivation Sect was indifferent, ignored it, and even played a role in promoting it.
Generally speaking, the Immortal Cultivation Sect basically let the Immortal Cultivation Sect go to the fights and frictions between the Immortal Cultivation Families or with the Scattered Cultivators, allowing them to eat the weak and consume each other's strength, so as to achieve the purpose of consolidating their dominance.
But in any case, as the natural allies of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, the vested interests of the various Immortal Cultivation Families are tacitly approved by the various Immortal Cultivation Sects, and to a certain extent, they are protected by them.
It naturally doesn't matter if the various families attack each other, as long as they don't cause too much turmoil, the Immortal Cultivation Sect is basically in a wait-and-see state, and they don't interfere much.
However, if the loose cultivators openly attack a certain family and seize their interests and resources, it will definitely touch the ruling authority of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, and if it is not done well, it will cause the Immortal Cultivation Sect to intervene.
Although Liuyunfang City did not dare to forcibly attack a certain family for various reasons, it was true that its strength had increased greatly.
Therefore, even if the various families are not afraid of Liuyunfang City encroaching on their own vested resource interests, they are not willing to take the initiative to provoke them if it is not necessary.
The Liu family's immortal cultivation family in Qujiang Mansion, although its strength has increased greatly in recent years, is second to none among the medium immortal cultivation families, but after all, it is not even a large immortal cultivation family, even if it is backed by the big tree of the super immortal cultivation family, but in Liuyunfang City, it does not dare to be too presumptuous.
Moreover, this cousin Qingfan and the second young man, the qualifications of the two of them are not very outstanding, and their status in the family is average, if something really happens, their family may not be fighting for the two of them.
It's just that the overall strength of casual cultivation is weak after all, and Liuyunfang City has repeatedly emphasized: "Any fellow casual cultivator, even in Fang City, must maintain a restrained attitude and not take the lead in clashing with the children of the family." Otherwise, you will bear all the consequences!"
Of course, if the children of the Xiu Immortal family took the lead, it would be a different matter.
Therefore, although these family members are unscrupulous in their mouths, they actually don't want to really fight here, and this cousin Qingfan and the second young man are naturally no exception.
It's just that these two are narrow-minded, and they are used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays. Seeing that Hao Feng was young and a casual cultivator, but his cultivation was on the same level as him, he couldn't help but feel unhappy, insulted him verbally, and refused to forgive.
Hao Feng's appearance of being light and indifferent, made the two of them unable to use their strength, full of frustration, and felt that he was the same as a clown who sang a solo show.
Shopkeeper Qin suddenly said something to help Hao Feng, which made the two of them angry, and without thinking, Huo Ran got up, ready to release the magic weapon and make a big fuss.
But after seeing that many scattered cultivators were eager to try, and the rest of the family members looked like they were watching a good show, only then did they realize that this was not near the family, and they could be allowed to act recklessly.
After all, Liuyunfang City is the territory of casual cultivation, and the ban on Liuyun is not something that casual cultivators are talking about!
The smiling gaze of the shopkeeper Qin made their hearts sink even more, and they slapped the hand of the storage bag, and they couldn't help but stagnate, and their expressions were greatly hesitant.
Because of the conflict between the scattered cultivation and the family alliance a hundred years ago, it was caused by the children of the powerful Zhao family at that time, who forcibly fought in a shop, but were called for by the shopkeeper to be scattered and beaten to death.
Although more than 100 years have passed since this incident, the lessons of the past are still vivid.
Even though these two people were arrogant, they didn't dare to really provoke the long-standing ban of Liuyunfang City. knew that the two of them had become rafters, but it was difficult for the shameful knife to enter the sheath, and it was difficult for the two of them to ride a tiger, and their faces were suddenly extremely ugly.
"Cousin Qingfeng, cousin Qingfan, don't be impatient, why bother to see a group of poor sour!"
The people of their family naturally saw that something was wrong, and a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen, handsome and cold, but with a hint of gloomy air, suddenly opened his mouth and said lightly. The voice was cold and flat, with an indescribable sense of superiority and strong self-confidence.
"Cousin Qinghong, cousin Qinghong...?"
"Sit down!"
The two men wanted to say something, but the young man interrupted them. This time his voice was a little gloomy, with a hint of command.
This Qinghong of the Liu family, although he is not the oldest, is a cultivator of the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period, and he is the leader of the Liu family's trip, and his mind is far from being comparable to the first two, so he naturally sees the ill intentions of other families, and many scattered cultivators are eyeing him.
He has a very high status in the Liu family, and he knows that his family may have made some moves against Liuyunfang City recently, but this is obviously not the time to completely fall out with many scattered cultivators, otherwise it will ruin the family's major affairs.
Therefore, he couldn't help but increase his tone and ordered the two people before.
"Hmph, boy, you look good when you look back!"
Although the two of them were unwilling, they did not dare to disobey the young man's order, and at the same time snorted coldly, and threatened Hao Feng viciously, and then they got off the donkey and sat back again.
Seeing this result, many casual cultivators naturally raised their eyebrows a little, but they were also faintly disappointed.
In fact, in Liuyunfang City, they are not afraid of this group of family children, and at present, they still have a vague advantage in the comparison of the strength of the two sides in the restaurant.
It's just that they are from **** after all, and they lack trust and cohesion with each other, and they are unwilling to be the first birds. It was also taken in the usual aftermath of each family, and Liuyunfang City's repeated emphasis on restraint and habitual patience.
But if these family members really dare to make trouble here, they will definitely attack them in groups.
The ban in Liuyunfang City is still very appealing for casual cultivation, anyway, if something happens, it will naturally be solved by Liuyunfang City. And because of the purpose of this trip, they have long been eager to fight with the children of these families.
Therefore, when I saw the two family members preparing to fight just now, most of them showed their eagerness to try.
Seeing that the children of Qingfan and Qingfeng were tigers, they sat back again.
Although many scattered cultivators were a little disappointed, they didn't say anything to mock, they just looked at the eyes of the two of them, and they all vaguely became joking.
The expression of watching the clown take humiliation made the two feel disgraced, and their faces became more and more ugly.
"Haha, two Liu Gongzi, with your identity, why do you care about a few loose cultivators? Come on, come on, little brother toast you. Yes, yes, Qinghong Gongzi is right, why bother to be like a group of poor sour... Hahaha..."
The children of the rest of the family were also a little disappointed when they saw that the show was not successful, but the harmony on their faces still had to be maintained, and they talked together.
Although the words seemed polite and flattering, they were also a little gloating, and quietly, they directly opposed the Liu family and the scattered cultivators.
Qingfan and Qingfeng naturally knew the intentions of the children of other families, but they were not easy to attack, their faces were red and white for a while, and they felt extremely guilty.
