Chapter 214: Garrison Responsibility

Originally, the casual cultivators in the foundation-building stage were just a little eager to make a move, but after hearing that the Gu family auction would auction the second-level magic weapon made by the third-level refiner, they all went crazy!

A good magic weapon can increase the strength of a cultivator by three points, which is a recognized fact.

In order to quickly enhance their strength, more and more foundation-building cultivators rushed to Jiuqi Market.

After knowing this, the Fang family also became a little restless.

On the Fang family's Yuhua Mountain, some of the Fang family's clan leaders anxiously walked around the meeting hall twice. After knowing that the Gu family auction would auction the second-level magic weapon made by the third-level refiner, he became a little restless.

Where did the Gu family get the third-level refiner?

Will this third-level refiner affect their Fang family's business in the future?

These thoughts lingered in the head of the Fang family, making him restless.

This involved the foundation of the Fang family, and he couldn't help but be nervous. The head of the Fang family wanted to find someone to discuss this matter, but at this time the ancestor of the Fang family had returned to the Haoran Sect to take up his post, so he had to hold a family meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Compared with the Fang family, the Zhang family and the Yu family did not react much to this matter.

The head of the Zhang family just wrote the matter truthfully on the communication talisman and reported it to Zhang Wendao who was stationed in the market.

It must be said that the head of the Zhang family is definitely the most leisurely head of the four families in the Jiuqi Mountain Range.

If anything happens, he only needs to tell the ancestor of the Zhang family, Zhang Wendao, and then follow Zhang Wendao's instructions, and he doesn't have to worry about it.

In contrast, the head of the Yu family, Yu Daoyan, is definitely the most laborious one.

After Yu Daoyan knew about this, she wished that the Gu family and the Fang family would confront each other directly. Only when the two tigers fight, the weak Yu family will have a chance to breathe.

At the same time, on the Bifeng Mountain.

All the cultivators in the foundation building stage received the communication talisman from the clan leader Gu Wanchang, saying that the Baibao Hall had newly purchased a batch of high-quality magic weapons. Those who didn't have a magic weapon might as well go and have a look.

There have been many new foundation builders on Bifeng Mountain in recent years, and many of them don't have magic weapons that are very suitable for them.

For example, Gu Shiqing, Gu Changde and Gu Changqing, their magic weapons have not been completely replaced with second-level ones.

After receiving the communication from the clan leader Gu Wanchang, they all rushed to the Gu family Baibao Hall impatiently.

The first to arrive was Gu Changde.

Gu Changning of Baibao Hall is only in the Qi training stage, so naturally he can't provide any suggestions for the cultivators in the foundation building stage to choose magic weapons, but fortunately, the cultivators in the foundation building stage have made some decisions in their hearts and quickly picked the right magic weapons.

Gu Changde chose a pen-shaped magic weapon, and another chose a golden shield.

They are all second-level medium-quality magic weapons.

However, the price was high, costing him more than 8,500 family contribution points.

This really hurt Gu Changde.

The second foundation-building cultivator to come to Baibaotang was Gu Wanhua.

Gu Wanhua had a fragment of a magic weapon in her hand, and she had no shortage of attacking means, but she still lacked a decent defensive magic weapon. Now that the clan leader said there were a batch of good magic weapons, she would naturally not miss it.

But after a while, she chose a second-grade high-quality magic weapon that looked like a handkerchief.

A second-grade high-quality defensive magic weapon naturally could not be cheap, and it was worth 7,000 family contribution points.

However, Gu Wanhua was rich, so she naturally didn't care about these family contribution points. She happily took her new magic weapon into seclusion.

In less than three days, 11 of the thirty second-grade magic weapons bought from Peng Liantian were exchanged by the foundation-building cultivators of the Gu family.

Although Gu Wanchang returned to Bifeng Mountain, Gu Xuanzhan stayed in Jiuqi Market.

The main reason was that the Gu family auction was approaching, and Gu Xuanzhan was worried that the foundation-building cultivators would not be able to control the situation and cause trouble.

Although Zhang Wendao of the Zhang family had been stationed in the market recently, it was not easy to rely on outsiders for such things.

Gu Changhuan had nothing to do in the market. Now that the auction items had been prepared, he did not need to refine any more pills, so he began to practice in seclusion.

On the seventh day after Gu Xuanzhan came to Jiuqi Market, someone suddenly came to visit.

The visitor was Zhang Wendao of the Zhang family, but he looked a little puzzled, and he did not know why.

Gu Xuanzhan opened the formation and welcomed Zhang Wendao into the courtyard, took out a pot of spirit wine and poured a glass for Zhang Wendao.

"I wonder why Fellow Daoist Zhang is here?"

Zhang Wendao took a sip of wine and said:

"I just came out of retreat today, and when I was checking the market as usual, I suddenly noticed the presence of two unfamiliar Purple Mansion cultivators in the market.

One of the two Purple Mansion cultivators is fine, only in the early Purple Mansion stage, but the other seems to have reached the late Purple Mansion stage.

From the aura, I have never seen these two people before.

I wanted to visit them directly, but I found that Brother Gu was also in the market, so I came to ask Brother Gu first.

Brother Gu, do you know where these two came from?"

It turned out to be for this matter. Gu Xuanzhan said slowly:

"These two Purple Mansion cultivators came from Hengzhou, and they are a pair of independent cultivators. They are both weapon refiners, and they said they are here to stay temporarily.

They will leave in a few days, so Fellow Daoist Zhang does not have to worry."

Zhang Wendao felt relieved when he heard this. The Purple Mansion cultivator was also a weapon refiner, so it seemed that they were not here to take advantage of others.

At the same time, he also understood: it seems that the second-level magic weapon at the Gu family auction should have been bought from their master and apprentice.

"If so, then I can rest assured." Zhang Wendao said so.

At this time, Gu Xuanzhan suddenly said:

"Fellow Daoist Zhang has worked hard to guard the market for so many years. After a few days, I will guard the Jiuqi Market!

Fellow Daoist Zhang can also return to Fengming Mountain to practice with peace of mind."

"That's great."

Zhang Wendao smiled.

Originally, protecting the market was the responsibility of the four families in the Purple Mansion. However, except for the Zhang family and the Fang family, the other two families did not have Purple Mansion ancestors. The Fang family's ancestor worked in Haoran Sect and could not leave easily, so Zhang Wendao would stay in Jiuqi Market.

Originally, Gu Xuanzhan should have taken over the garrison in the market after he advanced to the Purple Mansion. However, Gu Xuanzhan's cultivation was not stable at that time, and he caught up with the monster tide in a few years.

So Zhang Wendao did not mention letting Gu Xuanzhan guard the market. Now that the monster tide has passed, Gu Xuanzhan has also advanced to the second level of the Purple Mansion. It is time to share the task of guarding the market.

Zhang Wendao came this time with some reminders, but since Gu Xuanzhan was willing to take the initiative, he was naturally happier.

Although they could earn thousands of spirit stones every year by garrisoning in the market town and there was not much they needed to do, practicing in the market town was ultimately not as comfortable as practicing on their own family's sacred mountain.
