The old scholar who came out from Baek Ok-kyung was dumbfounded and didn't know what kind of expression he should make!
Fang Xing thought he was unhappy, so he earnestly admonished him, "Don't underestimate the matter of managing the accounts. This is related to the foundation of my family. I let you manage the accounts because you've been locked up for your entire life and have nowhere to go. I pity you. If you follow me and manage the accounts, I can still reward you with a hundred taels of spiritual essence a month. Also, have you heard of the Peaches of Immortality? That's the treasure of Yaochi. I'm not bragging, but I have so many flat peaches that I can't finish them. As long as you do a good job, it's not impossible for me to reward you with two flat peaches … What's with that expression? You can't even take care of the accounts? Did you study in a dog's stomach? No wonder you can't become a county scholar … "
The old scholar's expression became weirder with every sentence he said, but Fang Xing didn't notice him. At this time, all his attention was on Baek Ok-kyung. He didn't even think that this old scholar was hired by Baek Ok-kyung to deal with him. He just casually opened his mouth and pulled this old scholar over to help him calculate the pile of bad accounts. Anyway, a scholar should be able to do accounts!
"Accounts … can still be calculated …"
The old scholar also had a weird expression while Fang Xing was chattering. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth.
However, even he himself was a little surprised by this answer!
Since leaving Wanbao Tower, the aura that hadn't appeared for a long time felt like it was about to collapse …
"That's enough. First, calculate for me how much spiritual essence I need to buy a hundred thousand jars of Baek Ok-kyung immortal wine!"
Fang Xing let out a sigh of relief and looked at the old scholar with satisfaction. Then, he immediately threw the question to the old man.
"Are you going to take up the position just like that?"
The old scholar was a little confused, but when Fang Xing looked at him, he was also looking at Fang Xing. There seemed to be an indescribable sense of clarity in his murky eyes. However, there was also a little hesitation in his heart. The fingers of the two hands behind his back were gently tapping against each other. Every tap indicated a change in his mind. However, after looking at Fang Xing for a long time, he could tell that Fang Xing had not seen through his foundation and was indeed sincere in bringing him to settle accounts with him. Only then did he let out a long sigh.
"There must be enough wine!"
Fang Xing laughed. "No problem, you can embezzle 100 jars of immortal wine out of 30,000 jars!"
…
…
What shocked the three Tower Lords in Baek Ok-kyung was that the battle they expected didn't happen at all. The hunchbacked old monster who came out of Baek Ok-kyung just stood at the city gate and chatted with the little devil for a while. Then, he walked back with his hands behind his back. Not only did the little devil not leave, but he even seemed to be relieved …
"Old Sir, this …"
The three Tower Lords in Baek Ok-kyung were dumbfounded and looked hesitantly at the old scholar who had returned.
"Prepare 30,000 jars of immortal wine. How much is each jar and how much is the total? Calculate it clearly. I want to check the accounts!"
As soon as the old scholar spoke, the three Tower Lords had a strange expression and didn't know how to answer.
"That little devil …"
After a long time, the Tower Lord of Danxiang Tower hesitantly looked at Fang Xing outside the city.
"He's here to buy wine!"
The old scholar replied indifferently and said, "Hurry up and take out the account book. I still want to have a look at the accounts!"
He was really here to buy wine?
The expressions of the Danxiang Tower and the other Tower Lords were incomparably strange, and there was a feeling of confusion.
On the other hand, the other Floor Master heard something else from the old Confucian scholar's words. "Then you are …"
"This old man is now the gatekeeper of their robbery and also the accountant!"
The old scholar's reply was not loud, but it completely stunned the three Tower Lords at the same time.
"Then … then didn't you just …"
The Tower Lord of Danxiang Tower stuttered, but didn't dare to continue.
"He hasn't grown to the extent that he is worthy of me taking action!"
The old scholar's reply was light, but it made the three Tower Lords silent out of fear.
…
…
An hour later, the 30,000 jars of wine were moved out by the strong men in Baek Ok-kyung and piled up into a few mountains at the city gate. It looked like the jars were made of white jade, and the fragrance was coming from the bottles. The jars were carved with all kinds of patterns of different colors and were extremely exquisite. Fang Xing casually took a jar, slapped off the mud seal on the jar, and drank more than half of it. He breathed a sigh of satisfaction. He didn't know much about Baek Ok-kyung, but he knew why the immortal poet who wrote the famous poem "Baek Ok-kyung" was so obsessed with Baek Ok-kyung in his long cultivation career!
"Wouldn't it have been over if you had done this earlier!"
Fang Xing glanced at the three Tower Lords of Baek Ok-kyung and casually threw a storage bag over.
"Investigate the money, no matter how much it is, I won't take responsibility!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and reached into the sky, pulling down clouds of Qi. It was like a fairyland, enveloping the entire area in front of the city gate of Baek Ok-kyung. Then, Fang Xing laughed and soared into the sky. The tens of thousands of jars of wine were astonished by him. When this "Cloud Gathering Technique" was revealed, not to mention the three Tower Lords of Baek Ok-kyung, even the old scholar's eyes lit up.
"Old thing, let's go, let's go!"
Fang Xing sat cross-legged on the cloud, slapping his thigh and shouting. The way he addressed him caused the three Tower Lords of Baek Ok-kyung to break out in a cold sweat.
On the other hand, the old scholar remained calm and unhurried as he stepped onto the cloud. Following a long whistle from Fang Xing, a large piece of white cloud soared into the sky and flew towards the south like a bolt of lightning. Not long after, it became a small dot and disappeared into the horizon …
The three Tower Lords of Baek Ok-kyung stood at the city gate, watching the white cloud disappear. For a long time, no one spoke.
"Aiyo …"
After a while, the Fragrant Pill Pavilion's Pavilion Master accidentally opened the storage pouch, and he was shocked as he cried out in a low voice.
"What's wrong?"
The other two Tower Lords woke up from their dream and asked anxiously, thinking that something big had happened.
"There's not enough money …"
The Tower Lord of Danxiang Tower said blankly.
"Compared to this matter, what is money?!"
The other two Tower Lords heaved a sigh of relief, feeling both angry and amused at the same time. They looked at the Tower Lord of Danxiang Tower with dissatisfaction.
"The key is …"
The Tower Lord of Danxiang Tower didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He flipped the storage bag and poured out a small pile of spirit essence. It looked purple and tempting, but the amount was really pitiful. It probably added up to only a few hundred taels of spirit essence. "This money is too little. The Baek Ok-kyung Immortal Brew is famous in Tianyuan. When Yaochi held the Immortal Gathering, he bought it from us in bulk. It was also a hundred taels of spirit essence for a jar, but this …"
The Tower Lord of Danxiang Tower wanted to cry but had no tears. "Normally, even buying a jar is not enough!"
"… So what if it's not enough? The gatekeeper is so powerful, do you still dare to find more?"
One of the Baek Ok-kyung Tower Lords sighed softly, causing the three of them to sink into silence.
Because of this matter, the three of them suddenly felt like they couldn't understand this world anymore.
At this moment, Fang Xing had already brought the old Confucian scholar and thirty thousand jars of wine. He swaggered on a cloud and flew to the Saturn Peach Banquet at the edge of the Demonic Abyss in the south. He instructed the old Confucian scholar to follow Donkey Fang to settle a pile of bad debts, while he ran excitedly to the palace on the mountain to meet Daphne and Elder Huqin. The old Confucian scholar didn't say much. He occasionally glanced at Fang Xing with deep curiosity in his eyes. At this moment, when he saw Donkey Fang, he was even more surprised. He followed Donkey Fang in a friendly manner, sizing him up as he walked.
"Aiyo, why is there a barb on this tail?"
"Aiyo, how did the natural fire pattern on this scale come about?"
"Aiyo, did all the hair under your scales fall off completely?"
Donkey Fang was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. If it weren't for the fact that his master told him to be polite to this old man, he would have kicked this old thing to death!
"What do you plan to do with the Saturn Peach Banquet?"
When he entered the hall, the Great Golden Crow and the other juniors were not there. They had heard that Fang Xing had moved the entire Saturn Peach Forest into the Mysterious Domain and Hundred Break Mountains. They couldn't contain their excitement and ran over to feast their eyes, or rather, to eat their fill. On the other hand, Daphne, Elder Huqin, and a few other Yuanying old cultivators from the Primordial Demonic Dao were waiting for him in the hall.
They had clearly been discussing this for a long time. When they saw Fang Xing enter, Daphne didn't wait for him to bow and greet his seniors.
"What else can I do? Eat the peaches and drink the wine!"
Fang Xing was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled and walked over to the armchair beside the Great Peng Evil Monarch and lay down.
"You're a great Yuanying cultivator whose name resounds through the world now. You even have the right to call yourself a patriarch, so why are you still so careless with your words and actions? You've grasped the fortune of the Hundred Break Mountains and you've taken the Peach Forest of Yaochi. It's not an exaggeration to say that you possess the greatest fortune on the Tian Yuan Continent. Why aren't you using this opportunity properly? Do you really want to hold a banquet and just eat and drink and be done with it?"
Daphne said rather helplessly as he rubbed his forehead and reprimanded softly.
On the other hand, the old man from Huqin smiled gently and said, "Little Fang Xing always seems like he's messing around, but he has his own reasons for it. He's unconventional, yet he's achieved miraculous results time and time again. Us dogmatic old coots aren't as good as him. I don't believe he has any plans after what he's done this time. Don't be angry, Evil Sovereign. Why don't you listen to his plans first?"
All the people on the first floor looked towards Fang Xing when they heard that.
"It's still senior Huqin who's the most sensible …"
Fang Xing also chuckled and secretly mocked Daphne. Afterwards, he smiled and said, "I do have a plan!"
"Oh? Then why don't you tell me?"
The old cultivators in the hall all turned around with solemn expressions.
"Hmph …"
Fang Xing laughed coldly. "Fu Yao Palace won't return Xiao Man to me no matter what, right? Then I'll just take their most precious thing. Now that everyone says that the calamity is coming, this forest of immortality peaches is probably the last batch of fruits in the next thousand years, right? I don't believe that they won't feel the pinch. Now, I don't care about anything else. I'll just keep eating until my teeth get sore. Then, I'll invite my good friends to eat with me. The more I eat, the less I eat. Then, there'll be nothing left. I don't believe that they'll hold back and not return Xiao Man to me before I finish all these immortality peaches! "
"Huh? That's your plan?"
The group of old cultivators was stunned and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"That's nonsense!"
The old woman from the Green Hill Foxes of the Primordial Demonic Dao could not help but slam the stone table and scold him.
