Chapter 170 Qingshi Village
More than ten days later, in a fairly large village.
Fang Xiao was sitting cross-legged in a bamboo house, holding a long scroll in his hands, reading its contents intently, occasionally pausing to ponder, and sometimes showing a look of sudden realization.
Looking at his clothes again, I found that he had changed into the same style as the person he rescued before.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of brisk footsteps outside the house, which soon came to the door, accompanied by knocks.
"Master Fang, Master Fang, are you in the room?"
"It's Sangma, come in."
Fang Xiao heard the words without even raising his head and responded softly.
At this moment, he seemed to have mastered the language here, but it still sounded very awkward.
Then a pretty young woman pushed the door and walked in.
This person was one of the people Fang Xiao rescued from the Snake Valley some time ago. After arriving at the village called Qingshi, he was arranged by the elders of the tribe to take care of Fang Xiao's daily life.
Seeing Fang Xiao still concentrating on reading the scroll in his hand, Sang Ma immediately exclaimed in admiration.
"Master Fang is really amazing. He has mastered our Gu text in just a few days. It took me three or four years to barely read this brief description of Gu Dao."
Fang Xiao slowly put away the scroll, stood up and said, "Sangma, you are also one of the few second-level Gu Masters in Qingshi Village. Do you know what is happening outside the Qingshi Village?"
"Well, there are too many third-level monsters outside. I have been in the village for more than 20 years and have never been far away. I just heard the elder of the Sangwu tribe say that my Qingshi Village belongs to the Qingmiao tribe among the eight tribes of the five Miao and three barbarians. I don't know much about the others. My lord, you are very powerful, so I guess you must have been to many places."
Ever since that day Fang Xiao appeared in the Snake Valley and killed the third-level snake king with one finger, and killed all the snakes in the valley with another finger, Sang Ma has already become his little fan girl, and her admiration for him is beyond words.
Fang Xiao didn't know what to say, so he could only choose to ignore it, "You want to talk to me about something, right?"
"Oh, yes, the two elders Sang Wu and Sang Mo sent me here. Please come over, sir."
"Lead the way."
Then the two of them walked out of the bamboo house one after the other and walked towards the center of the village.
Along the way, people kept greeting Sangma. In comparison, Fang Xiao, a foreigner whose skin was whiter than that of the girls in the village, deliberately avoided them.
"Don't mind, my lord. Our Qingshi Village is located in a remote area. Few people come here. The villagers in the village are not good at communicating with outsiders."
When Sang Ma saw Fang Xiao narrowing his eyes and as if a light bulb had flashed in his head, she thought that he was somewhat unhappy with the villagers' behavior and hurried to explain.
"It's okay, let's go."
Fang Xiao was not such a petty person. He was just using his spiritual eyes to check for poisonous insects in the villagers' bodies.
'My judgment was correct. Almost everyone here has a spirit insect, but they all call it a Gu insect. Although the potential of these villagers varies, it seems that as long as they can initially control the Gu insect, they will be a first-level Gu Master and have the strength of the Qi Refining Stage.'
And this is not the biggest development.
With Fang Xiao's powerful soul comparable to that of the late Jindan stage, as long as he pays a little attention, he can tell whether the person in front of him has the spiritual root qualifications.
Based on what he observed after coming to Qingshi Village, he found that 99% of the villagers in the village did not have spiritual roots.
It is simply unimaginable that this cultivation system called Gu Master can directly bypass the limitations of spiritual roots to refine spiritual energy, allowing people to have strength comparable to that of cultivators.
Of course, these are just Fang Xiao's preliminary observations, combined with the judgment he made based on the introduction to the Gu Dao.
However, he could not draw an accurate conclusion about the specific process of becoming a Gu Master and the principles behind it without a deeper understanding.
Fang Xiao had previously asked the elder of the Sangwu tribe to give him a poisonous insect for research. Unfortunately, other things were easy to deal with, but everything related to the inheritance of poison masters was sternly rejected.
It was only because Fang Xiao saved the hunting team of the village and was indebted to Qingshi Village, and they were also afraid of Fang Xiao's strength and worried that he would turn against them on the spot, so they took out the introduction to Gu Dao for him to read.
"If I'm not mistaken, this elder of the Sangwu tribe should be a third-level Gu Master. According to Sang Ma, Qingshi Village is just a branch of the Qingmiao tribe, and fourth-level Gu Masters equivalent to Yuanying cultivators should also exist. From this point of view, the potential of this Gu Dao system is not small, and there may be fifth-level Gu Masters comparable to Huashen Zhenjun."
While thinking, he had followed Sangma to the village meeting place.
Before he entered the courtyard, a rough voice came out.
"Hahaha, Brother Fang is here, come in quickly. As for Sangma, we need to discuss some serious matters, so you can go back first."
"I don't want to listen. Humph, I'll go back to see grandma now...Master Fang, I'll come see you tomorrow."
Sang Ma stamped her feet and ran away angrily, as if she was going to complain, waving at Fang Xiao as she ran.
"Brother Fang, I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Sang Wu came forward together with another strange man in black robe.
"It's okay."
The entire Qingshi Village is one clan, so naturally there will be no sense of awe due to the difference in realm.
Unlike the world of cultivating immortals, where realm represents status and there is a strict hierarchy, when Fang Xiao becomes a god one day, it will be fine for Ling Taichu to be his master, but by then Li Mobai will probably have to call him brother.
After Fang Xiao and Sang Mo got to know each other, the three of them went into the inner room.
After sitting down, Sang Wu seemed to have something to say, but didn't know how to start. He couldn't help but look at Sang Mo, motioning him to speak.
"If you two elders have anything to say, please speak directly."
Fang Xiao noticed something, although he didn't know what it was, he could vaguely feel some bad signs.
Sang Mo and Sang Wu looked at each other, and then the other party asked.
"In that case, let's be frank. Brother Fang, are you a cultivator?"
"Yes, I am indeed a cultivator. Is there anything wrong with that?"
He had no intention of concealing anything and immediately admitted his identity as a monk.
"Then please leave Qingshi Village as soon as possible."
The two of them also looked serious and said these words.
Fang Xiao was startled. Sang Wu's address to him had changed to "Your Excellency". Even if he was leaving for this reason, he had to find out. He then asked, "I can leave, but please tell me why."
Sang and Wu considered it for a while, and decided to give Fang Xiao a simple explanation, as if to persuade him to leave as soon as possible.
"Okay, then I'll be frank. I hope you can keep your promise."
It turns out that the eight major tribes of the Five Miao and Three Barbarians have always had strict orders that anyone who finds any trace of a cultivator must be killed, and even if they are defeated, they must report it as soon as possible.
The two of them knew nothing about the specific reason, they only knew that this order had existed since the establishment of the major tribes.
