Du Fan showed that there were a few young girls who were still young, with clear eyes shining brightly. From time to time, they looked at the return team. The girls' pretty faces were covered with blush, and their eyes were full of admiration and admiration.

Du Fan couldn't help but raise his mouth, and he felt quite emotional. He had been in the cruel world of cultivation for many years and it was extremely difficult to see such innocent and clean things on weekdays. At this moment, he fell in love with this village.

Feng Cheng glanced at Du Fan, then quietly walked into the crowd, came to a middle-aged man, attached himself to his ear, and whispered a few words.

The middle-aged man looked in his fifties, wearing a soap robe, with an extraordinary temperament and dignity.

This person's magic power fluctuations are very obvious. He is a cultivator and one of the few cultivators in the village. He has reached the second level of Qi Refining Stage. I think this person is the village manager mentioned by Feng Cheng.

The man in the soap robe looked like a move, his eyes fell on Du Fan. After hesitating for a moment, he separated the crowd and walked up.

"Fellow Daoist Du, I am in charge of Wei Chenghuan in Xiaxiyang Village. I hope to help me in hunting and killing monsters.

It is noisy and chaotic. If fellow Taoists don’t dislike it, it’s better to wait in the lower house for a while. Later, I personally hold a banquet for fellow Taoists to fulfill the friendship of the landlords.” The man in the soap robe smiled and spoke very politely.

"Okay, I'll bother Fellow Daoist Wei." Du Fan smiled slightly and bowed his hand to return the gift.

After a meal, Du Fan was taken straight to a farmhouse by Wei Chenghuan.

This place is not luxurious because of the identity of the village manager. On the contrary, it is full of simplicity everywhere, giving people a feeling of being close to nature. For Du Fan, who has been fighting all year round, it is very peaceful and comfortable to be in this environment.

In a mortal village, naturally, I couldn't bring out any good things to entertain a cultivator. There was only a plate of fresh fruit that I had just picked, but Du Fan didn't dislike it and ate it with relish.

It’s no wonder that he has forgotten when he last ate fruit. It’s time for a long time. I can’t help but miss it.

An hour later, Du Fan was invited by Wei Chenghuan to a small square in the center of the village. There were men, women, young and old, and a unique banquet was held under the sky and earth.

In this square, more than a hundred bonfires were lit, and fat sheep, boars, and various poultry were built on it.

Every bonfire was surrounded by people, a group of children chattering and fighting non-stop. The adults were busy with their hands, while the old people gathered together in groups of three or three. They were chatting about something.

Wei Chenghuan did not make a big fuss, but pulled Du Fan to one of the bonfires with a very low profile.

The people around this bonfire were basically the strong men in the team of hunting monsters. In addition, there were three or four cultivators, whose cultivation was not high. Each person had a level of Qi Refining Stage, and the rest were all in the Quasi Qi Refining Stage.

There was not much red tape during the banquet. At the beginning, Wei Chenghuan called on all the villagers to toast Du Fan with a glass of wine, and then "fight for each other". The wine was filled with wine, and the atmosphere was full of excitement, and it was very lively.

"Fellow Daoist Du, I'm here to wish you a glass." The cultivator from the first level of Qi Refining Stage walked over with a wine glass.

"Okay!" Du Fan smiled slightly, and the two of them drank it all in one go.

"When Fellow Daoist Du waved his hand that day, he slashed the python monster with a strength comparable to that of the third level of the Qi Refining Stage cultivator. Brother Fang, how about Fellow Daoist Du's strength compared to you? Haha..." Feng Cheng laughed and shouted loudly to the first level of the Qi Refining Stage cultivator.

"Brother Feng is joking. Fellow Daoist's cultivation is unfathomable, so what can be compared to Fang?" The first level monk in the Qi Refining Stage smiled bitterly and waved his hands repeatedly.

"This time, thanks to Master Du, otherwise, according to the situation at that time, we would probably not be able to keep the python monster, and if we were not careful, we would also plant the root of disaster in Xiyang Village." A mortal man said with lingering fear.

"It's true. I didn't expect that the giant python was so difficult to deal with. After several traps in a row, he could still escape. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Du's timely action, the payment of tributes in our village this year would be a little hungry." Feng Cheng's expression condensed and he said.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, is the people who are you trying to enshrine the monsters in Guicun to mobilize troops to hunt and kill monsters?" Du Fan felt aroused when he heard this and couldn't help but ask.

"It's almost the same, but we worship not people, but counties.

More than a hundred villages under Zhonggu County have to pay tribute to the county every year, and there is no special requirement for tribute, such as monsters, spiritual herbs, and rare treasures.

As the saying goes, we rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and water to eat the water. Sunset Village is close to the forest of death, so we usually pay monsters to the top.

If the tribute paid just meets the standard, Xixing Village will have nothing to do. If the tribute is given, there will be a chance to win some good policy treatment for the village with this contribution. However, if the tribute is not met, not only will the tribute standard be doubled in the next year, but the corresponding punishment will be received.

Therefore, Xiyang Village spares no effort to complete this matter every year. Among them, there are many villagers who are buried in the belly of monsters. Paying tributes is a major disaster in Xiyang Village.

The python monster has a high grade, and just this monster meets the standard of offering for one year. Therefore, everyone in Xiyang Village attaches great importance to this action and has paid a considerable price for it.

I have heard from Brother Feng that this time, it is all due to fellow Taoist Du’s help, so that they can successfully hunt this beast.

I am representing all the villagers of Xiyang Village. Thank you again for your kindness!” Wei Chenghuan looked solemn and stood up to raise his glass.

People around this bonfire, who did not need to be greeted by anyone, put down their things, stood up, looked grateful, raised their wine glasses, and signaled Du Fan from afar.

After everyone drank it all, Wei Chenghuan hesitated for a moment and whispered: "If you don't have any clumsiness in your eyes, Fellow Daoist Du's cultivation level should be at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Even I have rarely seen a cultivator with advanced cultivation like Fellow Daoist.

Oh, I always speak straightforwardly. What I want to say next may be offensive. I hope fellow Daoist Du forgives me, but please believe that Wei has absolutely no malice."

"Fellow Daoist Wei is just talking nonsense." Du Fan was stunned at first, then smiled casually.

"It's like this. After reaching the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining Stage, they usually rank high in the county, but fellow Daoist Du was alone in the forest of death. This matter is a bit inconsistent.

I dared to guess, could it be... Fellow Daoist Du is a wanted person in Lin County, and was this trip to take refuge?

However, there is no need to worry about fellow Taoist Du. Even so, Xiyang Village will never do anything that is unfavorable to fellow Taoist. Wei asked this question just to make preparations in advance. If there is any sudden incident in the future, he will not be at a loss."

Wei Chenghuan spoke slowly and said a bunch of words that shocked Du Fan.

"This village administrator's imagination... is too rich." Du Fan was speechless.

However, Du Fan's expression fell into Wei Chenghuan's eyes, which made the old guy show an intriguing smile, as if it confirmed something.

When Du Fan saw this scene, he could only smile bitterly and shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Wei was joking. Du is very innocent and is definitely not the wanted person you mentioned.

The reason why I appeared in that forest is because as a casual cultivator, I lack elixirs on weekdays, so I want to earn some spirit stones by hunting monsters, taking materials and demon pills on them, and then buy elixirs to assist in my practice."

"So that's the case. Wei thought this matter complicatedly. I hope Fellow Daoist Du won't be surprised." Wei Chenghuan smiled awkwardly, but there was still a strange light in his eyes. He was obviously still skeptical about Du Fan's words.

Du Fan naturally wouldn't care too much about what the other party thought. As long as he got the information he wanted, he would immediately pat his butt and leave. Even if he had a big trouble in the future, it would have nothing to do with him.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, have you heard of Jizhou?" Du Fan asked casually with a smile.

"Jizhou? Haven't you heard of it? This is a place name?" Wei Chenghuan was stunned.

When Du Fan heard this, he was stunned. Then he thought a little bit in his heart and continued: "Since he became a cultivator, he has been hiding in a secret place to practice hard. He knows very little about the outside world. Do fellow Taoist Wei know where is above Zhonggu County?"

"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Du is a ascetic. No wonder fellow Daoist is so young and has such amazing cultivation. Well, above Zhonggu County is Chang County. Among the Chang County areas, including Zhonggu County, there are more than 700 counties.

The sphere of influence of Changjun is extremely vast. It seems that such a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage may not be able to leave Changjun in his entire life. It is rumored that there are also powerful people in the Jindan stage in the city of Changjun, and there are also other people who hide dragons and crouch down tigers.

Of course, whether it is Xiyang Village, Zhonggu County, or the entire Changjun, all of these belong to the Ren family.

The Ren family is here. The land under the world is all the territory of the Ren family. All the mortals and monks under the world are all the people of the Ren family." Speaking of this, Wei Chenghuan looked a little excited, and a hint of fanaticism appeared in his eyes.

"It's all from the Ren family?" Du Fan was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I have only heard that all over the world are the king's land, the shores of the land, the king's ministers, and the cultivators are fine. How can all the mortals in the world be the people of the Ren family?

Even if the so-called Ren family is powerful, they do this... it would be a bit of a damaging the rules of the cultivation world. Even if it is a big deal, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a big deal.

Also, there will always be imperial courts, countries, and major cultivation sects. Could it be that the Ren family’s power is so powerful that it has surpassed a country?” (To be continued…)
