Chapter 430 Wuzhou Junyan
Seeing that Bushe showed no sign of anxiety, Sect Leader Kang did not arrange for them to leave immediately. He just sent a letter to Jiachou Military Camp after he had a small discussion and settled Bushe.

Jiang Qing finished his lecture a few days ago and has not yet gone into seclusion to practice. He should be able to receive the letter and return to the sect soon.

According to Kang Dabao’s own speculation, this time Jiang Qing went there to accompany the prince to study.

You should know that although the Yunjiao Prefecture still has the word “Yunjiao” in its prefix, it actually governs five prefectures, namely Jing, Yun, Ye, Pu and Ding. It is not quite appropriate to call it a prefecture. It might be more appropriate to call it “Nan’an Earl’s Mansion”.

However, Kuang Liuting does not have the authority to establish a government yet. Perhaps he has to wait until the current emperor bestows a title on Kuang Liuting after he has achieved the Jindan stage before he can change his name and title.

However, according to the information Fei Shuhe got from his acquaintance in the Shangqin Palace, the matter of this title was of great importance, and the royal family, nobles, and court officials were arguing about it endlessly.

If we want to make a final decision, we may have to wait until Kuang Liuting comes back and sees the reaction of the Palace Master of Lanmeng Palace who has been stationed in the outer sea for a long time. Only then can we make a decision.

Therefore, the Yunjiao State Court now governs five states. Even though these five states cannot be called rich, there should be many outstanding talents under the age of one hundred.

Jiang Qing suffers from being too young, so the head of Kangda does not think highly of him.

However, this is also a good thing in the latter’s view. If Jiang Qing really wants to go on the stage to fight with Na Fu Neng, Kang Dabao will inevitably feel worried again.

By the time Master Kang returned to Qinghan Courtyard, Fei Shuhe had also received the news.

When they first met, the noble lady of the Fei family showed no sign of panic. She just handed Kang Changxi, who was chasing after her, to Yu’er to take away. It was not until she came close to the head of the Kang family and spoke to him that a hint of urgency appeared in her tone:

“The mission of the battle with the Kanbu mentioned by the Chief Master Bu Se has been decided. Can it not be changed?”

“Why, are you still thinking about handing her over?” Kang Dabao’s tone was much more relaxed, even dishonest. He hugged his wife and was about to rub her ears and ears for some tenderness, but she pushed him away, followed by another delicate rebuke:
“Let’s be serious. According to my opinion, what’s wrong with going to Bozhou to hand over Yuan Xiyue before you go into seclusion? She has worked hard to get the position of Ming Fei. Isn’t it just what she wants?

Besides, going to the Snow Mountain doesn’t necessarily mean that you will end up as a flesh and blood puppet. Maybe you can become a powerful person and achieve the Golden Elixir in the future.”

The head of the Kang family only saw that his wife had lost her former elegance and grace, but had gained a bit of innocence and love. He then smiled faintly and did not respond to her.

Fei Shuhe was annoyed when he saw her reaction: “Do you know what Benying Temple is like? In the past, I thought that I was just snatching an ordinary opportunity for you to be a Kanbu. Even if they came to me, I could ask my uncle to mediate for you.

Who would have thought that Funeng has now entered the eyes of Master Gelie. He is one of the most famous late-stage immortals in the world. Even if he were to meet the current emperor and the Lord of Waihai Lanmeng Palace, he would still be honorable. How could a small family like us provoke him? ! “

What Fei Shuhe said has spread throughout Shannan Road recently, so how could Kang Dabao not know it?

Seeing that she was really anxious, the head of the Kang family had no choice but to stop smiling and said calmly, “With the Earl of Nan’an not here, who in the Yunjiao Prefecture can change what my Earl Yue has decided?”

Fei Shuhe’s momentum stagnated, and he was about to speak, but was interrupted by Kang Dabao: “People cannot be determined to be friends. The state court will not allow it, and my uncle will not allow it either.

“Bu Se came to our house this time because he was reminded by some unlucky villain who spread rumors about me, so he came to us just to be prepared and guard against this matter.”

Speaking of Bu Se, Kang Dabao was also surprised, because this Sima Mansion Chief, who was originally an eighth-rank deacon of the Buddhist sect, had actually cultivated from the first intermediate stage to the current peak stage of foundation building in just over thirty years.

Generally speaking, Buddhist practice has always emphasized sudden enlightenment and becoming a Buddha instantly, without any desire or accumulation of experience, so it is not surprising that such a gift can occur.

But whenever Kang Dabao thought about the scene when he was rescued by the Black-shoe Taoist, he felt something strange.

Moreover, as soon as the head of Kang Dabao met Buse, he felt that this monk was unpredictable. Kang Dabao had only felt this kind of feeling in Chu Yanran, Fei Nan’an and other Jindan upper cultivators in the past.

Kang Dabao suppressed his distracting thoughts and pulled Fei Shuhe up to comfort him:

“Now the only way for us is to live in peace and obey orders. I think that Funeng is just a Buddhist monk with slightly greater abilities. Even though he has some luck and guidance from Gelie, he is not a Buddhist disciple of Benying Temple, let alone a Jindan or a fake Dan. We are both in the foundation-building stage, so what extraordinary abilities does he have? Could it be that we can’t defeat him if we take turns fighting?”

“No, I will try to find a way to get my uncle to not punish me. It’s just a matter of asking my aunt for help.”

The head of the Kang family found it funny to see the noble lady of the Fei family gritting her teeth, and thought that girls’ temperaments were worse after all. Therefore, when encountering such a major event involving the entire family, Fei Shuhe lost all his usual reserved composure.

His behavior was just like the time when Kang Dabao refused to accompany Fei Nanying back to Yingzhou to meet Fei Yeqing. If it were any other time, Fei Shuhe would not have said such idiotic words as he just said.

Kang Dabao held her hand tightly to help her calm down, and then he said in a gentle voice: “It is difficult for my uncle to blame, but the Sheshan Hall Master must be blamed, and the Sima of the Sima Mansion of the Nan’an Earl must also be blamed. No matter what, we can’t hand this man over.”

At this point, Fei Shuhe finally calmed down a bit. He felt uncomfortable with the intimate behavior of Kang Dazhang. After pulling his hand away, he looked embarrassed and annoyed: “I think you are reluctant to let go?”

“How could I be such an unwise man to say that?”

Wen Yu refused to listen and struggled to get out of Kang Dabao’s arms, leaving only the lingering fragrance on her hands.

The latter did not stop him, but just watched the cold moonlight shining on the hurried Fei Shuhe, and then murmured to the beautiful figure: “Maybe, you seem a little reluctant to let go?”

But after reading it, he shook his head and sneered: “But in this world, how can I let go or not?”

When he looked up again, he saw the sky full of stars and dazzling lights. After looking at it for a long time, Kang Dabao felt a surge of pride in his heart, “I never dared to think that I would be able to compete with the disciples of the great sects one day.”

At this point, Kang Dabao paused, bowed his head and sighed, then smiled faintly: “It’s okay, it’s okay! All causes and effects are good things, I am not afraid, I am not afraid!”

Ten days later, Xuanwei City became quite lively, because among the talented people summoned to the provincial court, few came with a small entourage like the head of the Kang family.

When ordinary families reach their status, no matter how simple their behavior is, they still need dozens of people to follow them. If they add some people who like to be trusted and like to be lively, then the number will be even greater.

In total, there were at least one or two thousand wealthy monks who came, which allowed many merchants in Xuanwei City to make some extra money before the Xuanwei Dharma Assembly began.

However, Kang Dabao and his two companions, who came together with Bushe, were not attracted by the prosperous scene of this big city, but went to Simaguan Temple together.

It was also this time that Master Kangda saw Fernando’s true form again after a long time.

Fenan Zhao is even more mysterious than before. It is said that after every genuine golden elixir is made, it takes ten years to practice, and even seclusion for sixty years is not uncommon.

Unfortunately, Fei Nan’s life was miserable, and he had to take on some very important assignments, so it was difficult for him to practice well.

Therefore, the reason why Kang Dabao was not able to meet him before was not necessarily because Bo Yue did not want to see him again and made excuses. The latter did have a lot of time in seclusion and had no time to spare.

“That’s right,” Fei Nan’ao just nodded when he saw Master Kang. After saying those two words, he had no intention of reminiscing about the past, so he asked his bodyguards to take Kang and Jiang down and settle them down.

As for Yuan Xiyue, who looked unhappy all the way, two old women who were in the foundation-building stage came to meet her.

Kang Dabao recognized that they were the two maids serving the Sixth Grandma of the Fei family. Just as he was about to say a few words to Yuan Xiyue, he was stopped by the two old women.

The two brothers did not argue, but Fernando added: “Don’t tell me, her fate has nothing to do with her. It all depends on how the nine of you act.”

Since his own Bo Yue had spoken up, then the head of the Kang family naturally had to ask, “Has Bo Yue already decided that this boy will have a seat?”

Fei Nanyang pretended to be surprised and said in astonishment: “It was you who brought this trouble upon yourself. This time, I coordinated all parties to make such a big scene. Isn’t it also to help your family? If so, how can you be needed in this matter?”

Everyone knew that Fei Nan’s ridicule was completely wrong, and Kang Dabao was naturally hard to bear. After all, regardless of where Yuan Xiyue belonged to, all the officials in the Yunjiao State Court did not dare to let her be taken away by Fu Neng.

However, Kang Dabao did not dare to argue, and just bowed his head again and said, “The boy will go down first. If Bo Yue needs any help, just send him.”

“I know, I won’t be polite with you.” Fei Nan’an waved his hand. After saying this, he no longer paid attention to Kang Dabao and asked behind him, “Have the three people from the Yang family arrived? We must not.”

After seeing Kang Dabao and Jiang Qing leave, Fei Nanying told his attendants, “Pass the message on, tell those useless people in the clan not to provoke Kang Dabao.”

“Yes, I just talked about this with my brothers and uncles in the clan a few days ago. Kang Dabao is my legitimate son-in-law after all, and we have this relationship. It has been so long since he offended Grandpa Ye, not to mention that even the Grandpa Ye was magnanimous and didn’t mind it. It’s really boring for us, the younger generation, to still find fault with him.”

“You guys are still trying to find fault with Kang Dabao?” Fei Nan’an glanced at his nephew who had just moved here from Yingzhou to work, and said sarcastically, “Do you really think I asked that kid to come here just to make up the numbers?”

“This, uncle.”

“This Shannan Province is not as peaceful as Gyeonggi Province. If you don’t curb your conceited attitude, you will be beheaded sooner or later.” With just one sentence, Fenan’s expression darkened the face of the young cultivator below.

But he had no intention of keeping silent, and continued: “Since I surrendered to Sheshan Hall, apart from those fake Dan elders and worshippers, I am afraid that only the two brothers Bofeng and Zhongyun can fight with them. But if the two of them cannot work together, the chances of winning may not be great.”

“Hmm…” The young cultivator looked surprised after hearing the sound.

How highly Fei Bofeng and Fei Zhongyun are regarded in the Fei family can be seen from the fact that these two sons of the Fei family, who were given surnames by the Dongwen clan elders, were treated as close nephews and rewarded with the practice of “The Thirteen Methods of Ascending the Tower of the Immortal Guards”, which has always been exclusive to the Fei family’s direct lineage.

Not to mention, the Yingshan Army camp that Jun Tianqin brought from the Fei family’s Yingzhou clan territory was in the hands of these two brothers when he and Fei Nan’ao were not around. Even the fake alchemy masters in Sheshan Hall rarely got involved.

With the background of these two brothers, they were able to reach such high positions in the Fei family. Naturally, they had cultivated to the peak of foundation building at an early age and had a share of golden elixir seeds.

It’s a pity that both of them are over a hundred years old and cannot participate in this round of battle, otherwise it would be much safer.

Therefore, the status of the two among their peers is needless to say, but when it comes to the abilities of such characters, in Fenan’s words, they are even slightly inferior to the mediocre mid-stage cultivator mentioned earlier, which makes the young cultivator quite puzzled.

“Not convinced? Not convinced?”

“My nephew dares not.” “Since you dare not, then you must be pregnant?” Fei Nanyang glanced at his nephew again and said:

“I have one more thing to say. There are many foreign visitors recently. Don’t make trouble. Otherwise, if I find out, I will send you all to Liangxi Road to fight with those monsters to eat sand. Those beasts can’t tell which lineage you are from or how high your family background is.”

“After I go down, I will definitely tell my brothers and uncles about what the head of the family has ordered.”

“In about three days, everyone will be here. After you go down, tell the guests from each family that the elders of the Tianqin clan will come back from the Jackdaw Mountains to select and review them, so tell them to prepare well.”

“My nephew understands.”

—-

Kang Dabao had just escorted the maid sent by Han Ningyue out of the room, and then he and Jiang Qing unfolded a piece of brocade given by Han Ningyue.

It is filled with dense seal characters, recording all the outstanding talents selected for this event.

Kang Dabao looked at them one by one. From his current point of view, apart from him and Jiang Qing, among the 28 people, only the following few people needed more attention.

“Cao Xianlu was born as a errand boy in the Man Gui Sect in Huangzhou, Jingji Province. Later, he volunteered to join the army in Liangxi for half a century. He completed the Ice Leaf Foundation Establishment and was accepted as a disciple of the Man Gui Sect’s leader. He was taught the Man Gui Sect’s sect-protecting martial arts method, the Ghost Tiger Prison-Resisting Skill, and the dual cultivation of magic and body. He is currently the general of the Yingshan Army. He is decisive and fierce in killing.”

Kang Dabao took another look at the bold words behind the name: It is said that Cao Xianlu had made great contributions in the Yingshan Army’s last battle when they captured and killed the independent cultivator Jindan Lie Zijun in Yingzhou. He cannot be treated as an ordinary foundation-building warrior.

“Yang Wuwei, the seventh son of the Yang family in Yezhou, Shannan Dao, has been practicing the Yang family’s clan martial art, ‘Qinglin Fushan Gong’, since he was young, and has been preparing for the formation of the elixir for ten years. Half a century ago, he led a hundred Qi training disciples of the Yang family to fight against the fake elixir of the Yang family for three days without being defeated.”

Kang Dabao pondered for a while: “The two direct descendants of the Yang family are not good enough to be cultivated. After so many years of cultivation, it seems that only two or three people have been able to establish a foundation, and they are still hesitating in the initial stage. Therefore, Yang Wuwei can be regarded as a prominent figure in the next generation of the Yezhou Yang family.”

“Fei Enxing, the grandson of Fei Donggu, the fake Dan of Sheshan Hall, is a cultivator with a single spiritual root. He has already mastered the Hong-level top-grade sword technique “Three Folds of the Reed Wind”. During the last Fei family competition, he was punished for his salary because he was defeated by Kang Dabao who used a talisman of a higher level.

After that, he devoted himself to cultivation. When he came out of retreat last year, he was invited by the eldest son of the Yang family to form an alliance with seven disciples from the surrounding major sects. Because the alliance was formed in Aoshan Ridge, the seven called themselves the Seven Heroes of Aoshan, and their rankings were measured by their abilities.

At that time, Feinxing overwhelmed several of the experienced foundation-building cultivators, and was only slightly inferior to the eldest son of the Yang family who had already reached the false elixir stage. With an age of less than a hundred years, he ranked ahead of all the golden elixir disciples and became the second oldest among the seven. For a while, this became a good story in the neighborhood.”

Although Kang Dabao was the winner of the last competition, he remembered that at that time Feinxing was only about to enter the late stage of foundation building.

It has been less than 20 years since then, and his cultivation has already reached the peak of foundation building! The rapid cultivation of a single spiritual root cultivator really makes mixed spiritual root cultivators like Kang Dabao, who can barely compare with three spiritual root cultivators, a little jealous.

Although Fei Enxing’s foundation has only reached the Qingye stage, his cultivation is much faster than that of Fei Enhua, who was generally favored by the high-ranking practitioners of the Fei family. I think that with the foundation of the Fei family, if they want to cultivate him well, it is not certain that Fei Enxing will not be able to form a pill in the future.

In addition to the above three people, there was another person who hooked Kang Dabao’s eyes.

“Qin Sufu, a disciple of Yunjiaozhou’s casual cultivator Yin Hongying, is a second-level lower-grade talisman master. In the 424th year of Qianfeng, he was appointed as the military commander of Yunjiaozhou Sima Mansion and has been in office ever since. Later, he married the daughter of the Yue family in Hancheng and was taught the Yue family’s thousand-year-old mid-level Zhou-level martial arts technique, “Three Turns of Cold Jade Art”.

After years of painstaking cultivation by Yue Jian, the head of the Yue family, he has now reached the late stage of foundation building. A few years ago, in the battle to pacify Dingzhou, he and six other true cultivators assisted the state court’s fake Sima Gun Shilu and worked together to kill the Hongyi Sect’s Yu Ting Dan Master, and was awarded the highest merit. “

Seeing this, Sect Leader Kang couldn’t help but sigh. After a rough calculation, he found that this Taoist brother was only less than ten years older than him.

The reason why he was able to have such good fortune after being cultivated by the Yue family was that in addition to his outstanding spiritual roots, he must have other outstanding qualities. Otherwise, with the way Yue Jing behaved, he would not be so foolish as to invest so much in a person of another surname.

Kang Dabao thought to himself, “Brother Qin Dao is a disciple chosen by Lord Shan. Even I can hardly catch up with him in terms of cultivation. Only such an outstanding person can make these noble families spend some real money to win people’s hearts. I think as long as he continues to make great progress, he won’t have to worry too much about being marginalized in the future.”

He thought again: “If I can win this battle against the abbot of the temple, my Bo Yue will be able to overcome the opposition and be willing to invest more in me, right?”

Therefore, this round of battle with the Kanbu was also an opportunity for Kang Dabao. If he could regain the trust of Fei Nanying, he, the head of the Kang family, would be able to be more stable with his disciples in this great trend.

Although Chu Yanran is close to her family, she is a lone person after all. She may be able to protect herself with her Golden Core cultivation in a general situation, but it is impossible for her to protect the entire Chongming Sect.

Just looking at this time, if Na Fu Neng had chosen a female cultivator who was close to Chu Yanran as his consort, she would have been unable to stop him and would most likely have had to watch helplessly as she was taken away.

“The remaining ones are the two brothers Yang Wudi and Yang Wuxin of the Yang family, and Zhou Yun, the first disciple of the Jindan Wufeng upper cultivator, who is slightly worthy of attention. As for the others, they are not much different, and it makes sense for them to be promoted or demoted.”

Kang Dabao thought of this and moved his gaze to Jiang Qing beside him, “I wonder how much my third son has improved now, and whether he can compete with these high-level disciples.”

“But why didn’t my Taishui send me the details of the temple protector’s abbot? Now I only know that he is a Jindan disciple and has achieved the ‘Pure Lotus First Stage’. As for the rest, is it hard for even the Fei family to find out?”

Kang Dabao had doubts in his mind that were hard to resolve, but fortunately the three-day period passed quickly.

During this period, Kang Dabao and Jiang Qing also welcomed and saw off many talented people from various companies who came to participate in the selection.

The two of them also got along quite well with them. Although the personalities and behaviors of the cultivators were completely different, there were no arrogant and domineering disciples. Therefore, the discord that the head of the Kang family had worried about beforehand did not happen in the end.

When the morning bell rang, the cultivators followed the lead of the soldiers from Sima Mansion and landed on the training ground outside the city.

As soon as everyone was seated, Jun Tianqin and a group of officials from the provincial court rushed over from the other side of the sky curtain.

Although the old bird was now invisible, its eyes were still as big as wheels. After it glanced at the various talented people in the training ground, it turned its head and sneered at Fei Nanying and asked, “Are these the talented people from the Five States that you have spent so much time selecting?”

These words were quite serious. Who in the parade ground didn’t have a bit of pride in his heart? But seeing that the elders of each family were all here, and the one who spoke was the patriarch of the Fei family in Yingzhou, they suppressed their pride and kept it to themselves.

Fei Nan’an stepped out and said, “Please calm down, elder. This happened suddenly. In such a hurry, this is all we could find.”

“Is there anyone coming from Wumu Mountain?”

“More than forty years ago, his family had a trial that went wrong, and most of the elite disciples died. So now there is a lack of successors, and it is difficult for ordinary people to be used. If a Taoist disciple comes to fight, it may be a bit embarrassing.”

“Oh, I think he is afraid that his own disciples will not be able to defeat Fu Neng, so he uses this as an excuse. Well, if his family was not afraid of the end of their lineage after the death of old Yue Yin, they would not have come aboard so quickly. But just looking at their current descendants, most of them still cannot protect the Nascent Soul stage.”

“Master Zong, please judge for sure.”

“Stop flattering me. Why don’t you quickly call back those elite disciples of the Yingzhou clan? Just looking at the people in Sheshan Hall now, do you have the nerve to laugh at the lack of successors in Wumu Mountain?
If it weren’t for you, the position of the Sheshan Hall as the main line would be difficult to maintain, and it would be natural for it to become a dwarf sect. After all, there was a Jindan ancestor before, how could the children of the family wither away like this? “

“.” At this time, even if Jun Tianqin had many criticisms and made mistakes, Fei Nan’ao did not argue with the old bird, but just bowed and kowtowed.

After reprimanding Fei Nan’an, Jun Tianqin snorted again, then turned toward the training ground and said loudly:
“After three breaths, those who have obtained the feathers will stay in the field, and the rest will disperse and go back to practice well. I hope that the next time you come out, you will not lose face for your elders like you did today.”

It was obvious that none of the cultivators present had thought of this kind of selection method beforehand. Although it was unexpected, none of them dared to refuse and they immediately bowed their heads in agreement.

Afterwards, all the cultivators in the field felt a gust of cold wind blowing on their faces. After a moment, when the cold wind dissipated, nine people in the field had feathers on their shoulders as a sign.

Kang Dabao took off the golden feather from his shoulder and did not rush to look at it, but looked around for a while.

The nine people who won the feathers were pretty much the same as he had guessed beforehand, Cao Xianlu, the three members of the Yang family, Zhou Yun, and Qin Sufu were all among them. What surprised him a little was that Feinxing was not selected.

Of the remaining three feathers, Kang Dabao and Fei Wen, a descendant of the Fei family with whom he had a previous friendship, each took one, while the last one fell on Jiang Qing’s shoulder.

What surprised Master Kang even more was that Feinxing still dared to refuse to obey.

“Zonglao!!

As soon as these two simple words were uttered, all the cultivators in the field could feel the surprise and anger in Feinxing’s heart.

“Shut up! Since this matter has been decided by the elders of the clan, how can an ignorant child like you have the right to have a say in it?!” Fei Nan’er cursed loudly and was about to use means to throw Fei Enxing out.

Unexpectedly, Jun Tianqin stopped him:

“Wait!”

The old man looked at Fei Nanxiang coldly again, and after a long while he said, “You must have spoiled your young man too much. It has come to this point, and you still want to make amends for him?!”

The latter’s face darkened, and just as he was about to explain, Jun Tianqin had already asked Feinxing: “In your opinion, which of the nine people in the field can you defeat?”

Feinxing had clearly seen the look in Fenan’s eyes, but now he was under fire, and the pride in his heart did not allow him to shrink back.

He did not avoid Jun Tianqin’s sharp gaze, and scanned the nine people left on the scene one by one.

His pride would not allow him to choose Jiang Qing, the weakest among the players, to fight. Besides, he had already thought about who he would find to avenge his previous humiliation.

Seeing the head of Kangda who was about to disappear into the crowd, Feinxing’s eyes suddenly became sharp, and he pointed his spear horizontally: “Master, I can fight this man.”

Kang Dabao’s retreating steps paused, and then a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

Jun Tianqin and the several Jindans who were gathered around him had different expressions. In the end, they just sneered at Fei Nan’an and said, “The descendants of Sheshan Hall really have good eyesight.”

After saying this, it did not wait for Fei Nan’s response, but called Kang Dabao over to come closer. After the latter bowed respectfully, the old bird spoke:
“I am not afraid of losing face, I will give you a cup of tea and teach this unworthy son of the Fei family a lesson. And correct their insolent behavior for me. I want to see how long it will take them to pick up the face they have lost!”

(Sorry, I was a little late due to some emergency)
