112: Chapter 112 The 400th Birthday Celebration of the Fang Family Ancestor? A Stage for Reputation Boost!

At the entrance of the Tianying County city gate.

Qin Muyuan led Fang Yuan and Wangcai through the city gate of Tianying County, looking towards the guards stationed at the entrance.

The strength of these guards was roughly at the Martial Master Realm, making them quite decent existences among Mortals.

If placed in Huoyun Country, they would likely be revered as honored guests by Huoyun Country.

But within the city of Tianying County in Daliang Country, they could only serve as gate guards.

At this moment, these guards guarding the city gate merely glanced at Qin Muyuan and his party before directly letting them into the county city.

This made Qin Muyuan somewhat unaccustomed to it.

This was the first time he had walked straight into a city without hacking the guards to death.

"Could it be that the guards in this game can evolve? They actually didn't ask me for two pieces of spirit sand."

Qin Muyuan thought to himself.

Seeing the strange expression on Qin Muyuan's face, Fang Yuan explained, "These guards were all selected from various small Schools within the county and hired by the county government. They are very sharp-eyed..."

After hearing Fang Yuan's explanation, Qin Muyuan understood.

Simply put, they were official guards with secure positions.

Because they had official positions and the county government paid them quite well,

these guards would perform their duties impartially and did not dare to randomly extort money from those entering the city.

Otherwise, once caught during a spot check, it would be very easy to lose their official positions.

Most importantly, the city of Tianying County was unlike other rural places where one or two disguised, powerful Immortal Cultivators might pop up from time to time.

If they dared to take bribes indiscriminately and offended these disguised Immortal Cultivators, there was no telling when they might lose their lives.

"I knew it. Although guards taking bribes is very common in this kind of game setting, it shouldn't be something I run into every single time..."

Qin Muyuan thought, nodding.

After entering the city of Tianying County, Qin Muyuan was not in a hurry to head to the Fang Family. Instead, he leisurely looked left and right around the county city.

As expected of a county city, it was commercially prosperous, bustling with people, and the shouts of vendors were endless.

Looking out, the county city was a sea of people, and even the private seats in the roadside taverns and teahouses were packed with people.

Moreover, through Qin Muyuan's observation, the expression of every NPC was rendered perfectly.

The NPCs shouting at the stalls smiled while loudly peddling their wares.

In the teahouse, a waiter respectfully served good tea while rattling off the teahouse's tea snacks like a cross-talk performer.

In front of the brothel, women looked neatly dressed yet revealed a bit of disarray.

Although there was plenty of fabric on their bodies, it actually only covered some insignificant parts.

As for their fair thighs, waists, abdomens, and upper breasts, the fabric was sparse and translucent, allowing one to see the faintly visible skin beneath the red gauze at a glance.

High up in mid-air, there were even floating boardwalks made of unknown Materials.

Quite a few Immortal Cultivators rode the wind, flashing quickly through the boardwalks.

"Simulating and rendering so many NPCs without a single bug—this computing power is terrifyingly immense!"

Qin Muyuan made up his mind once again that once he passed through, he must recommend this game to his chat group friends!

Well, not just the gaming chat group friends, but also the book fans who liked reading Xuanhuan and Xianxia novels—he would recommend it to them too.

After all, the scene before him fit the imagery in Xuanhuan and Xianxia novels way too well!

"This is..."

Fang Yuan had already seen the scenery of Tianying County's city countless times, and at this moment, she didn't care about the roadside stalls.

Her gaze fell upon the small red cloth hanging at a roadside stall.

"This is bad! Senior Qin!"

Seeing these small flags, Fang Yuan's brows instantly furrowed:

"These few days happen to be Fang Qingwu's four-hundredth birthday!"

"Fang Qingwu?" Qin Muyuan asked.

"This person is an Old Ancestor of our Fang Family, whose strength has reached Foundation Establishment Perfection. He is a renowned Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor far and wide!"

Fang Yuan hurriedly explained:

"Fang Qingwu turns exactly four hundred years old this year. Today, all the street peddlers in the county city have hung red cloth in front of their stalls—it must be to celebrate Fang Qingwu's birthday!"

"But that doesn't matter."

"What's important is that when a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm like Fang Qingwu celebrates his birthday, not only will all members of our Fang Family return to the Fang Family to attend."

"Even the other seven great families and even the Daliang Country imperial family will send people to offer congratulations!"

Thinking of the scene where all forces would head to the Fang Family to offer congratulations, Fang Yuan took a deep breath.

In her heart, she secretly cursed why this Fang Qingwu had to celebrate his birthday at this exact time. The old thing was already four hundred years old and still refused to die!

After a bout of silent cursing to vent, Fang Yuan suppressed the impatience in her heart, calmed down once again, and said to Qin Muyuan respectfully and tactfully:

"Senior Qin, in this Junior's humble opinion... perhaps we can visit the Fang Family another day."

"Right at the time of Fang Qingwu's four-hundredth birthday, all sorts of high-level Immortal Cultivators and renowned martial arts masters of Daliang Country will gather at the Fang Family at this time."

"Although Senior's Divine Ability is peerless and invincible, visiting at this time will inevitably draw the attention of all parties and cause unnecessary complications."

"It would be better to choose another quiet day to go, which would appear more calm and secure."

While flattering Qin Muyuan's strength, Fang Yuan spoke in an extremely tactful tone.

She knew that this time was really not the time to visit the Fang Family and annihilate Fang Zheng along with the group of Old Ancestors and clan elders.

Otherwise, other families on good terms with the Fang Family would naturally find it hard to stand by idly.

Once the variables of these families were introduced at that time, the combat situation would become very unpredictable.

However.

When Qin Muyuan heard the two sentences, "Immortal Cultivators and Martial Cultivators gather at the Fang Family" and "It will definitely draw the attention of all parties," his eyes lit up instantly.

"Very good!" Qin Muyuan clapped his hands,

"Since it is your family's Old Ancestor's four-hundredth birthday, such an auspicious day is precisely the time to pay a visit to him!"

"Ah?" Fang Yuan was stunned upon hearing this, and she still wanted to speak: "Senior Qin..."

"Alright, I know you can't wait anymore. No need to say more, we will rush to the Fang Family right now."

Qin Muyuan directly interrupted Fang Yuan's voice.

He leisurely followed the arrow in his field of vision and walked towards the Fang Family.

"Such a good natural stage has been set up, it's about time to properly boost my reputation and fame..."

After leaving Huoyun Country, Qin Muyuan discovered that the achievement [Slaughtering through an entire country single-handedly] could not be used within the territory of Daliang Country.

It seemed that his fame in Daliang Country was too low, still under 1000, so he couldn't obtain this achievement's defense bonus and the soul summoning ability.

Now, he happened to run into Fang Qingwu setting up a stage for him with his own four-hundredth birthday.

How could he possibly let go of such a golden opportunity to boost his fame?

Clatter, clatter!

While Qin Muyuan was pondering, a crisp sound of hooves suddenly came from above.

Following the sound, he looked up and saw two magnificent winged divine pegasi pulling a carriage, galloping rapidly from high in the air towards the direction of the Fang Family.

Behind the carriage, a procession of Qi-Refining Immortal Cultivators with deep auras followed as guards.

That carriage swept past the heads of Qin Muyuan and his party, ran forward for a distance, but suddenly turned around and headed back.

"Stop! Stop quickly!"

A crisp female voice rang out, and the divine pegasi folded their wings at the sound, steadily hovering right above Qin Muyuan's head.

The carriage curtain was lifted by a hand, and a face poked out from within.

That was a young girl with two hair buns, dressed in a red short robe, with a lively and bright countenance.

She pulled the curtain open a bit, cast her gaze downwards, and when it landed on Qin Muyuan's face, her eyes suddenly lit up:

"Such a handsome appearance! Grandpa Wu, I want this person!"
