Immortal Mansion Royal Beast

Chu Hongshang's sudden loss of composure and the fragility revealed in it only lasted for a brief moment, and then she returned to normal.

This left Fang Qingyuan with no time to react. He had originally been thinking about taking the opportunity to comfort Chu Hongshang.

"How did you get targeted by the Law Enforcement Peak?"

Fang Qingyuan was not clear about the grudge between Qiyun Law Enforcement Peak and Nanchumen, but the fact that the Law Enforcement Peak took the opportunity to attack Chuduo meant that Nanchumen was involved in a big deal.

After all, Chu Duo is the person in power in the South Chu Clan, which is enough to rank him in the top three. Xing Ming acted brazenly without any scruples.

In response to Fang Qingyuan's question, Chu Hongshang was silent for a few breaths before slowly saying:

"Even in my position, there are some things that I cannot help. For the Chu family, I can only do this."

There are some things that cannot be said to Chu Shentong and Chu Wen, but can be said to Qingyuan and Chu Hongshang.

Because Fang Qingyuan is an outsider to the Chu family, there is no conflict of interest between the two.

Listening to Chu Hongshang's words, Fang Qingyuan understood some of Chu Hongshang's subtext, which is that someone forced the Chu family to do something they themselves were unwilling to do, and this kind of thing was more of a taboo for the Qiyun Sect.

That's why Qiyun Law Enforcement Peak pursued Nanchumen so relentlessly. This battle to open up the outer sea was a good opportunity for Nanchumen to take action as they were far away from Qiyun's territory.

As for why the Law Enforcement Peak did not work in the Nanchu Clan, it was obviously because they were concerned about Chu Hongshang's existence. Even if the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain was not done by the Law Enforcement Peak, it was definitely related to them.

But Chu Hongshang didn't want to explain this matter clearly to Fang Qingyuan, so Fang Qingyuan could only pretend that he didn't know and wait until Chu Hongshang was willing to talk about it, and then he could explore the matter.

So Fang Qingyuan said:

"Now that I have finished my business here, I should also take my leave. Let's meet at Tail Island."

Fang Qingyuan stood up to leave, but Chu Hongshang reached out to stop him.

"Wait, these are the spiritual materials I found in the belly of the giant beast. You saved me, so take these pieces as a souvenir."

Chu Hongshang handed Fang Qingyuan several pieces of golden ore, some of which were as small as a fist and some as big as a head. They looked like Gengjin.

There is a huge furnace inside the Pan beast's belly. Anything can be refined inside, but there is one thing that it cannot refine, and that is Genghuo Zhenjin.

Chu Hongshang was trapped there for a few days and found eight pieces of this spiritual material, and then gave five of them to Fang Qingyuan.

Genghuo True Gold is the material for refining fourth-level magic weapons and is very valuable. A piece of Genghuo True Gold the size of a fingernail can be sold for hundreds of high-grade spirit stones, and these five pieces, roughly estimated, would cost tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones.

Fang Qingyuan naturally accepted Chu Hongshang's offer without refusing.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Hongshang, take care."

Fang Qingyuan put the Genghuo True Gold into the Immortal Palace, then used the escape light to leave in a leisurely manner.

Looking at the direction where Fang Qingyuan left, Chu Hongshang covered her face with one hand and remained silent for a long time.

One day later, Fang Qingyuan returned to his fleet. The round trip took no more than three days.

The incident ended too quickly, which was beyond everyone's expectations, but Fang Qingyuan's safe return was a good thing worth celebrating.

After talking to everyone, Fang Qingyuan went into his own palace.

Thinking back on the whole thing, Fang Qingyuan felt a bit of a headache: Law Enforcement Peak, the Chu Family, Chu Zhen, and Tiandi Peak.

The relationships between these powerful figures flashed back and forth in Fang Qingyuan's mind. Chu Zhen was a man from Tiandi Peak back then. As a Nascent Soul cultivator who competed with Lu Yunzi, now the head of Qiyun, a thousand years ago, Chu Zhen's ability and weight back then were naturally very important.

And who is the one who can force the Chu family to do something? When Fang Qingyuan thought of this question, he was shocked and could not think about it anymore, so he stopped there.

This kind of thing is not something I can get involved in. I should focus on the present affairs. After finishing this war, I can practice with peace of mind.

Fang Qingyuan stopped thinking about these things. He focused his attention on the Immortal Palace. After more than ten years of development, the Immortal Palace has changed a lot. The area where mortals live has now developed into a very large area.

Fang Qingyuan escaped his soul into the Immortal Palace and went to find the Queen Bee first.

"Ruoxi has met the master."

The bee queen saluted in front of Fang Qingyuan, and Fang Qingyuan, who was dressed in a black robe, casually waved his hand and asked her to stand up.

The bee queen's current appearance has changed a lot compared to when she just achieved the Golden Core realm.

When she had just achieved the Golden Elixir, the Queen Bee was huge and ferocious in appearance. Now, after so many years of practice, the Queen Bee's body has become much smaller, and the color of her body is also becoming as white as jade.

"Thank you for your hard work over the years. Has your cultivation been delayed?"

"No, Ruoxi is a beast, so her cultivation is slow. Now, in just over forty years, she has been able to complete the initial stage of the Golden Core, which is already very fast."

Compared with Jin Bao's aptitude, Queen Bee's cultivation speed is much slower. Since she formed the golden elixir, she has only now cultivated to the middle stage of the golden elixir.

However, the special thing about the Queen Bee is that she does not have to sleep to allow her body to adapt. She can use her innate talents to quickly adjust this state.

"Nanli is about to form a pill, right?"

Fang Qingyuan asked about Nanli's situation. After the transformation of the five elements of true spirit peacock blood that Fang Qingyuan forced out after he formed his infant, Nanli's potential was reshaped.

Now, nearly twenty years have passed, Nanli has adapted to the changes, and she is about to face the calamity of forming a pill.

"Nan Li has been in seclusion, preparing to break through to the Golden Core stage. I feel like she will succeed this time, so there is no need for the master to worry about her."

"Okay, if Nanli succeeds in forming the golden elixir, the four of you will all be at the golden elixir stage. I wonder who will be the first to form the infant stage."

Fang Qingyuan showed a look of delight. If Nanli could form a golden elixir, then the four companion beasts he raised would all be at the golden elixir realm. Although golden elixir was rare among the disciples in the sect, his ability would also be reflected if all the companion beasts were promoted.

"That must be the gold treasure, could it be the silver treasure?"

The bee queen and Fang Qingyuan chatted for a while, and Fang Qingyuan chuckled and turned to ask about those mortal matters.

"In reply to Master, the current population of mortals in the Immortal Palace is nearly five million. In the next twenty years, this population will jump to ten million."

As the Immortal Palace encourages childbirth and food is sufficient, the number of mortals is increasing greatly every year. It is common for a couple to have four or five children.

When these children become adults at the age of fifteen, they start getting married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, starting new families, and then continue to have children, repeating the lifestyle of the previous generation.

So after 20 or 30 years, the one million island natives at that time have multiplied to the current five million people, and the rate is still increasing.

According to the rule of doubling every twenty years, the population of the Immortal Palace will reach hundreds of millions within a hundred years.

Based on the current area of ​​the Immortal Palace, Fang Qingyuan believed that a population size of 100 million was just right, so he planned to exercise a certain degree of control when the population of the Immortal Palace reached 70 or 80 million.

Of course, this control process must be gentle, and as the living standards of mortals in the Immortal Palace improve, it is hard to say whether people will still have the current desire to have children, with an average of four or five children.

"What about the immortal seedling spiritual roots?"

Mortals are the soil, but Fang Qingyuan cares more about the immortal seedlings that grow from the soil.

"Over the years, a total of nearly 800 immortal seedlings have been born, but most of them are low-grade spiritual roots, accounting for 80% of the quality of spiritual roots, and medium-grade spiritual roots account for more than 10%. The remaining high-grade spiritual roots, mutant spiritual roots, and earth-grade spiritual roots, added together, account for less than 10%."

According to the data analysis of the Queen Bee, the law of the birth of this kind of spiritual root is similar to that in the outside world, even if the spiritual energy in the Immortal Palace is more abundant, it is still the same.

Fang Qingyuan guessed that this law seemed to be innate in mortals. As long as they were mortals in the cultivation world, the probability of giving birth to spiritual roots and immortal seedlings was almost the same.

"The oldest immortal seedlings among them are already in their thirties. They have low aptitude and can only practice to the ninth level of Qi Refining. The immortal mansion lacks several spiritual materials needed to refine foundation-building pills. Foundation-building pills are hard to come by, so these people have no intention to force a breakthrough.

There are a few with higher qualifications who seem to be able to reach the foundation-building stage, but they are still accumulating merits for the foundation-building pill. The method should not be passed on lightly, and the pill should not be given lightly. Everything depends on merits and contributions. "

After so many years of experience in worldly affairs, Queen Bee's thinking patterns and actions have become more humanized than before.

This kind of conversation was something I had never seen before. Also, as a hidden emperor who managed millions of people, how could the Bee Queen still be as naive as before?

"You did a great job. Foundation Building Pills cannot be given away easily. You can also refine Foundation Building Pills, right? We must be completely self-sufficient in our Immortal Mansion for the spiritual materials of Foundation Building Pills. Your next focus will be to transform part of the Immortal Mansion environment and adapt it to a nursery for growing spiritual materials for Foundation Building Pills."

The world of cultivation where Fang Qingyuan is located has just been opened up, so the supply of rare spiritual medicines and materials is very sufficient. Therefore, the value of a foundation-building pill is not too high.

However, there are several kinds of spiritual medicines needed to refine the foundation-building pill, which have a rather harsh growing environment. The land of the Immortal Palace is spring all year round, and these spiritual medicines cannot be grown without some transformation.

"Ruoxi knows."

Seeing that the bee queen agreed, Fang Qingyuan stood up and transformed into an ordinary person.

"I have nothing to do, so I'll go to the mortal world to take a look at the local customs and see if there are any surprises for me. Ruoxi, thank you for your hard work."

Fang Qingyuan waved his hand and walked into the mortal world ahead, which was a prosperous world consisting of ten county towns and five million mortals.

Unlike Qiyun Fairy City, Fang Qingyuan saw some familiar traces of his past life here.

Amid the hawking sounds and bustling crowds along the way, Fang Qingyuan blended in unnoticeable.

He showed an honest smile, huddled in the crowd, bought a candied haws, ate a bowl of wontons, wandered around aimlessly, and enjoyed the atmosphere bit by bit.

This is his own moment of relaxation. In the fairy palace, he doesn't have to worry about anything in the outside world. It is really comfortable.
