Southern Border.
It was drizzling, the green mountains stretched endlessly.
Fang Yuan was dressed in blue clothes, he stood on a rock and looked at this beautiful river and mountains. His gaze finally focused on one of the mountains.
This mountain was very special.
The surrounding mountains were either tall or short, dangerous or flat.
As for this mountain, it was round and had form.
This was Mount Snail.
Or rather, Mountain Snail.
It was an immemorial desolate beast! A giant snail, its shell was as tall as a tower, it spiraled up layer by layer and was covered in green moss.
When it was motionless, its soft limbs were all retracted into the shell, as if it was a mountain, standing tall and erect.
But now, it had already awakened and was moving slowly.
Rumble rumble rumble …
When it moved, the ground within a radius of a hundred miles would tremble slightly. Wherever it went, birds and beasts would scurry away.
Fang Yuan stood on another mountain peak, looking at this immemorial desolate beast Mountain Snail's migration with a calm expression.
Its speed was very slow.
Although Mountain Snail was an immemorial desolate beast, it had a gentle nature, it was hard to anger it, it could be said to be harmless.
Not only harmless, it was also beneficial.
Because Mountain Snail's body contained rich enslavement path and earth path dao marks, it formed a special environment around it that nurtured a vast amount of enslavement path and earth path resources.
The ownership of Mountain Snail had always been an unresolved topic.
Few Gu Immortals could control Mountain Snail, even rank eight enslavement path Gu Immortals would have difficulty controlling it.
Because Mountain Snail itself had extremely rich enslavement path dao marks.
In Southern Border, there were seven known Mountain Snails. Long ago, Southern Border's super forces made an agreement: As long as these Mountain Snails were not controlled by others, they would be wild Mountain Snails, whoever's territory it was in would be the property of that clan.
This Mountain Snail was originally in Wu clan's territory, it naturally belonged to Wu clan.
There was no doubt about this.
But now, when Mountain Snail was migrating, it was moving away from Wu clan's territory.
Mountain Snail's original location was at the border of Wu clan's territory.
In fact, this was during Wu Du Xiu's era, Wu clan specially expanded their territory and included Mountain Snail.
Now the Mountain Snail was migrating, leaving the Wu family's territory, but there were no other righteous super forces in the place it was heading to.
This also meant that this Mountain Snail would become a wild and ownerless object.
Wu Yong naturally did not want to see such a situation happen, but he did not have enough manpower, so he could only give this task to his younger brother, Wu Yi Hai.
"Is it Wu Yi Hai? I am Qin Jingsheng, I have the nickname of Mountain Moving Old Monster. "A Gu Immortal flew over from another mountain peak.
Fang Yuan looked at the newcomer.
This old Gu Immortal was wearing a green-grey stone armor, his hair was both black and white, it was messy like a pile of straw. The corners of his clothes were also tattered and unkempt.
But his rank seven aura was overflowing, his aura was oppressive, especially his eyes, they flickered with sharp light as he sized up Fang Yuan like a senior looking at a junior.
"Yes, I am Wu Yi Hai, greetings to Senior Mountain Moving Old Monster." Fang Yuan bowed slightly, showing the demeanor of a righteous path expert.
This Mountain Moving Old Monster had the word 'old' in his title, it naturally meant that he was an old veteran, over two thousand years old.
He had lifespan Gu and unique methods to extend his life.
His battle strength was also extremely high, he was a famous expert among lone immortals, on the same level as Old Treeman Ba De and Wu clan's Wu Yu Bo.
A rank seven Gu Immortal like Xia Fei Kuai could not compare to Mountain Moving Old Monster.
Thus, when Mountain Moving Old Monster sized up Fang Yuan, his attitude was not polite, he called himself an old senior, even though Fang Yuan came from Wu clan.
"Hehehe, looking at the time, your Wu clan should have sent someone over already. Let's sit down and talk. "Mountain Moving Old Monster smiled, he landed on a rock and sat down.
Fang Yuan also sat down with a smile.
Mountain Moving Old Monster saw that Fang Yuan did not look down on him, nor did he maintain the demeanor of an immortal, he had a good impression of him: "I almost forgot, Wu Yi Hai, you are a lone cultivator, even though you joined Wu clan, you do not have the hypocritical demeanor of those righteous path members."
Fang Yuan shook his head: "The righteous path has its own demeanor. As for me, I spend most of my time cultivating in seclusion in Eastern Sea, this foundation cannot be changed."
"Hahaha." Mountain Moving Old Monster laughed heartily: "I heard that even though you chased away the two Xia clan Gu Immortals, you still looted Frosty Peak."
Fang Yuan showed a surprised expression: "Senior, this is groundless gossip, I have never admitted it."
Mountain Moving Old Monster laughed heartily again, after laughing, he sighed deeply: "Righteous path Gu Immortals do not understand you, but I do. How difficult is it for us lone cultivators to become immortals? Every cultivation resource was earned with his own two hands. If we miss this opportunity, there will not be another one, so we need to grasp the benefits we have now. Who knows what we will encounter in the future? "
"As for those righteous path Gu Immortals, even if they stay at home, they will have a lot of resources. How can they understand the suffering and difficulties of us lone cultivators? "
Fang Yuan's expression was indifferent, he did not agree, nor did he refute.
He knew that Mountain Moving Old Monster's words were not just to get close to him, but also to express his determination. He, Mountain Moving Old Monster, was a lone cultivator, and the benefits he could obtain were Mount Snail. His determination could not be shaken, Wu Yi Hai, who was once a lone cultivator, should be clear about this.
"I naturally understand senior's intentions, but I hope senior can understand me, I have my own difficulties in coming here." Fang Yuan said.
Mountain Moving Old Monster chuckled: "Everyone has their own difficulties."
When one was old, their words carried deep meaning.
Everyone had their own difficulties, not only did he agree with Fang Yuan's words, he also expressed that he had his own difficulties, and most importantly, Wu clan was currently in a difficult situation.
Fang Yuan did not speak.
In a battle of words, sometimes silence was a method.
Sure enough, Mountain Moving Old Monster could not restrain himself, he handed an information path mortal Gu to Fang Yuan: "Take a look."
Fang Yuan took a look, this mortal Gu's contents were very valuable. If Fang Yuan obtained it, he could directly construct a coiling thread cave!
"Let's cooperate, I will obtain Mount Snail, and you will obtain these, how about it?" Mountain Moving Old Monster smiled.
He was actually thinking of bribing Fang Yuan!
But this was not strange at all.
On the contrary, it was within Fang Yuan's expectations.
Mountain Moving Old Monster was a lone cultivator, and from his perspective, he naturally did not want to offend the number one righteous path force, Wu clan. Even though the Wu clan was currently in a difficult situation, such a colossus was not something that he, Mountain Moving Old Monster, could deal with alone.
More importantly, if Mountain Moving Old Monster obtained this Mount Snail, he would no longer be someone who could freely advance and retreat.
Mount Snail could not be stored in an immortal aperture, unless it was completely controlled.
Mountain Moving Old Monster was an earth path Gu Immortal, he clearly did not have such attainment. This way, he would become the 'owner' of this Mount Snail, and if enemies attacked in the future, he would have to defend the mountain.
If he offended Wu clan, Wu clan's Gu Immortals would attack one after another, how could he resist them alone?
Even if he could resist once, what about the second or third time?
Even if he could resist them all, he would have to expend some energy in battle, right? Mountain Moving Old Monster was harassed repeatedly, would he still have time to cultivate?
Thus, there was only one path in front of Mountain Moving Old Monster.
That was to negotiate with Wu clan peacefully.
Wu clan was not willing to let go of this Mount Snail, but the huge Wu clan was also made up of clan members. As long as it was an organization, it would not be an airtight fortress, there would definitely be a gap that could be monopolized.
Wu Yi Hai's appearance gave Mountain Moving Old Monster even greater hope.
"Old senior, do you want to use these to exchange for an immemorial desolate beast?" Fang Yuan held the information path mortal Gu with a faint smile.
"These are already of extraordinary value! Although this Mount Snail is an immemorial desolate beast, who can control it? If I become the owner of this mountain, I will only be able to plunder the resources produced here. Of course, if you have any conditions, we can discuss them. "Mountain Moving Old Monster's eyes shined, his attitude also became much more enthusiastic.
Since Fang Yuan did not directly reject him, Mountain Moving Old Monster felt that there was a way, and his hope doubled.
"The contents of this list need to be doubled at least." This was Fang Yuan's first sentence.
Mountain Moving Old Monster immediately frowned.
"Mount Snail cannot be yours in name, it will still belong to Wu clan." This was Fang Yuan's second sentence.
Mountain Moving Old Monster stared with wide eyes, his expression changing into anger.
"But in reality, senior is the owner of this mountain, most of the profits will belong to you, but you still need to hand over a portion to our Wu clan every year." This was Fang Yuan's third sentence.
Mountain Moving Old Monster started to sneer, his expression was dark as water: "Wu Yi Hai, are you making fun of me?"
"Of course not." Fang Yuan had a serious expression. He stood up and fearlessly looked at Mountain Moving Old Monster, "Dare I ask senior three questions?"
Mountain Moving Old Monster suppressed the anger in his heart: "Speak."
"First, senior is alone, and does not belong to any super faction. How can my Wu clan leave Mount Snail in your hands? It is fine if it is a super faction, but letting a lone cultivator benefit is related to the reputation of my Wu clan. "
"Second, even if senior temporarily occupies this Mount Snail, how long can you guard it for? Even if my Wu clan does not touch you, what about the other super factions? "
"Third, senior thinks that just by bribing me, you can make the entire Wu clan sit back and do nothing?"
Mountain Moving Old Monster was silent.
After a long while, he sighed and said with a hoarse voice: "Then according to your method, won't this old man become the mountain watchman of your Wu clan?"
Fang Yuan smiled faintly: "It is just an empty reputation. How can everything be perfect? What I've mentioned isn't too much. I'm only doing it because we're all Rogue Cultivators. Do you want face, or do you want substance? Senior, please think about it. "
Mountain Moving Old Monster was silent again.
