    Southern Border.


    Light rain was drizzling on a range of verdant mountains.


    Fang Yuan wore a blue robe, and was gazing at these grand rivers and mountains from atop a rock,


    before his gaze finally settled on a mountain.


    This mountain was rather special.


    The mountain peaks beside it were either tall or short, steep or nted.


    But this mountain was round in shape.


    This was Mount Snail.


    Or it could be considered a snail mountain.


    It was an immemorial deste beast! It was an enormous river snail with a tall, tower-like spiral shell


    drenched with green moss.


    When it stayed still, its body would hide in the shell, looking like a towering mountain.


    Right now, it was awake and was slowly moving.


    Rumble…


    As it moved, all the surroundings quaked slightly, birds and beasts fled in disorder.


    Fang Yuan was calmly looking at the movement of this immemorial deste beast, Mount Snail, from


    another mountain peak.


    Its speed was slow.


    Mount Snail might be an immemorial deste beast, but its temperament was simple and mild, it was


    hard to anger it, it could even be said to be harmless.


    Not only harmless, it also provided benefits.


    Because Mount Snail’s body was full of envement path and earth path dao marks, which created a


    special environment around it that would spawn many envement path and earth path resources.


    Mount Snail’s ownership had all the while been an unsettled issue.


    Few Gu Immortals could control Mount Snail, it was very difficult for even rank eight envement path


    Gu Immortals.


    Because Mount Snail itself was full of envement path dao marks.


    There were already seven known Mount Snails in Southern Border. Long ago, Southern Border’s super


    forces had set an agreement: As long as these Mount Snails were not controlled by anyone, that is to


    say, they were wild Mount Snails, they would be considered as a resource of the n whose territory it


    was staying in.


    This Mount Snail was originally living in Wu n’s territory, naturally it belonged to Wu n.


    There was no doubt about this.


    But now, it was time for the Mount Snail’s migration, it was currently leaving Wu n’s territory for other


    territories.


    Mount Snail’s original location was at the periphery of Wu n’s territory.


    In fact, during Wu Du Xiu’s time, Wu n had intentionally expanded their territory to include this Mount


    Snail.


    Currently, Mount Snail was leaving Wu n’s territory, but the ce it was going to did not have other


    righteous path super forces.


    This also meant this Mount Snail was going to be wild again.


    Wu Yong naturally did not want to see such a situation happening, and under the situation where he did


    not have enough manpower, without other options, he could only assign this task to his younger


    brother, Wu Yi Hai.


    “Wu Yi Hai? I am Qin Jin Sheng, I am also called Mountain Moving Old Monster.” A Gu Immortal flew


    over from another mountain peak.


    Fang Yuan gazed at the Gu Immortal.


    This old Gu Immortal was adorned in a suit of rocky grey armor, his hair was a mix of ck and white,


    looking messy like straws. He looked slovenly, with the corners of his clothes being in shreds.


    But the rank seven aura he gave out was majestic and forceful, especially his eyes which shone with


    sharp light. Right now, as he looked at Fang Yuan, it was like a senior sizing up a junior.


    “It is me indeed, Wu Yi Hai, I greet Senior Mountain Moving.” Fang Yuan bowed slightly, his greeting


    had the style of the righteous path.


    This Mountain Moving Old Monster’s title had ‘old’ in it, it naturally was because he was an old veteran,


    an old senior, having lived for over two thousand years.


    He had lifespan Gu and also had unique lifespan extension methods.


    His battle strength was also very high and he was a famous expert among lone immortals, almost at


    the level of Old Treeman Ba De and Wu n’s Wu Yu Bo.


    Rank seven Gu Immortals like Xia Fei Kuai could notpare to Mountain Moving Old Monster.


    Thus, when Mountain Moving Old Monster sized up Fang Yuan, he was not humble and treated himself


    as a senior, even if Fang Yuan came from Wu n.


    “Hehehe, considering the time, it was time your Wu n sent someone as well. Let’s sit and talk.”


    Mountain Moving Old Monsterughed and sat on a rock.


    Fang Yuan smiled and also sat down.


    Mountain Moving Old Monster saw that Fang Yuan had no objection to sitting on a rock and also did


    not have a high-and-mighty attitude, his impression of Fang Yuan improved: “I almost forgot you were a


    lone cultivator, although you have joined Wu n, you don’t have the hypocritical attitude of those


    righteous path members.”


    Fang Yuan slightly shook his head: “The righteous path has to act like the righteous path, as for me, I


    spent most of my time as a secluded cultivator in Eastern Sea, these habits cannot be changed.”


    “Hahaha.” Mountain Moving Old Monsterughed heartily, “I hear you chased away the two Gu


    Immortals from Xia n, but plundered the resources of Frosty Peak.”


    Fang Yuan revealed a surprised expression: “Senior, these are groundless rumors, I have never stated


    that.”


    Mountain Moving Old Monsterughed loudly, before heaving a deep sigh: “The righteous path Gu


    Immortals can’t understand you, but I understand. How difficult is it for us lone cultivators to be an


    immortal? We have to earn every cultivation resource with our own hands. There won’t be future


    opportunities, so we need to grasp the present benefits with all our strength. Who knows what will


    happen in the future?”


    “As for those righteous path Gu Immortals, even if they stay in their homes, plenty of resources are


    provided to them. How could they understand the pain and difficulties we lone cultivators face?”


    Fang Yuan’s expression was calm, he did not praise nor did he retort.


    He knew that Mountain Moving Old Monster’s words were absolutely not just to get close to him, but to


    express his resolve — he, Mountain Moving Old Monster, was a lone cultivator, and the present benefit


    in front of him was this Mount Snail. His resolve could not be shaken, and the former lone cultivator,


    Wu Yi Hai, should be aware of it.


    “I am clear of your intention, senior, but I still have to ask you to have some understanding, I have my


    own difficulties ining here.” Fang Yuan spoke.


    Mountain Moving Old Monster snickered: “Everyone has their own difficulties.”


    With age and experience, one’s words would carry deeper meaning.


    Everyone has their own difficulties; not only was it replying to Fang Yuan’s words, it also meant he,


    himself, had his own difficulties, and more importantly, it was also indicating that Wu n was currently


    in a difficult situation.


    Fang Yuan did not speak anymore.


    Sometimes, silence was a tactic which could be used in a confrontation between words.


    Sure enough, Mountain Moving Old Monster could not sit still and handed an information path mortal


    Gu to Fang Yuan: “Take a look at it.”


    The contents listed in this mortal Gu had high value. If Fang Yuan obtained them, he could directly


    construct coiling thread caves!


    “We will cooperate, I will take Mount Snail and you will get these, what do you think?” Mountain Moving


    Old Monster smiled.


    He was actually trying to bribe Fang Yuan!


    But this was not strange.


    Instead, it fell within Fang Yuan’s expectations.


    Mountain Moving Old Monster was a lone cultivator, and from his point of view, he naturally did not


    want to offend the number one righteous path super force, Wu n. Despite Wu n currently being in


    a predicament, such a colossal force was not something Mountain Moving Old Monster could threaten


    by himself.


    More importantly, if Mountain Moving Old Monster obtained this Mount Snail, he would no longer be a


    person who could freely move.


    Mount Snail could not be stored inside an immortal aperture, unless it waspletely subdued.


    Mountain Moving Old Monster was an earth path Gu Immortal, he clearly did not have such attainment.


    Like this, he would be the ‘owner’ of this Mount Snail, and would have to defend it if someone


    attacked it in the future.


    If he offended Wu n, Wu n’s Gu Immortals would attack in waves, how could he defend against


    them by himself?


    Even if he could defend once, what about the second time, the third time?


    Even if he was able to defend against them all, there would be losses in battle. Would Mountain Moving


    Old Monster still have time to cultivate if he were to be disturbed repeatedly?


    As such, there was only one option in front of Mountain Moving Old Monster.


    That was to negotiate with Wu n.


    Wu n did not want to let go of this Mount Snail, but even therge Wu n was an organization


    formed by its nsmen. And so long as it was an organization, it could not be an airtight fortress, there


    would naturally be chinks in the armor.


    Wu Yi Hai’s arrival gave even greater hope to Mountain Moving Old Monster.


    “Senior, you want to use these to exchange for an immemorial deste beast?” Fang Yuan held the


    information path mortal Gu and said with a faint smile.


    “The resources inside are very valuable! This Mount Snail might be an immemorial deste beast, but


    who can control it? If I be its owner, I will also only be taking the resources produced by it.


    Naturally, we can talk if you have any conditions.” Mountain Moving Old Monster’s eyes glimmered


    brightly, his attitude turning much warmer.


    Since Fang Yuan had not directly refused, Mountain Moving Old Monster cheered inwardly and had


    much higher hope.


    “The contents inside this list needs to be doubled at least.” This was Fang Yuan’s first condition.


    Mountain Moving Old Monster immediately frowned.


    “Mount Snail cannot be yours in name, it will still belong to Wu n.” This was Fang Yuan’s second


    condition.


    Mountain Moving Old Monster’s eyes opened wide, his warm expression suddenly changing to that of


    anger.


    “But in truth, senior, you will be this mountain’s owner, the benefits will mostly go to you, but you need


    to hand over a portion of the resources to our Wu n every year.” This was Fang Yuan’s third


    condition.


    Mountain Moving Old Monster began to sneer, his expression had turned dark: “Wu Yi Hai, are you


    ying with me?”


    “Of course not.” Fang Yuan had a sober expression, he stood up and looked at Mountain Moving Old


    Monster’s eyes with no fear: “Senior, may I ask three questions?”


    Mountain Moving Old Monster barely restrained his anger: “Speak.”


    “Senior, first, you are a lone person not affiliated with any super force, how could my Wu n leave


    Mount Snail in your hands? It would be alright if it were a super force, but letting a lone cultivator take


    benefits would negatively affect my Wu n’s prestige.”


    “Second, even if you can take possession of this Mount Snail for the moment, how long can you defend


    it? Even if my Wu n doesn’t interfere with you, what about the other super forces?”


    “Third, senior, do you think that by only bribing me, the whole of Wu n will simply watch from the


    sidelines?”


    Mountain Moving Old Monster fell into silence.


    After a long while, he sighed and spoke with a hoarse voice: “Then if we go with your idea, wouldn’t I


    be the guard for your Wu n’s mountain?”


    Fang Yuan smiled lightly: “It is just some insignificant reputation. How could everything go perfectly?


    The conditions I mentioned are actually not excessive, it is because I considered how I was also once a


    lone cultivator. The question is, do you want face or real benefits, please consider it properly.”


    Mountain Moving Old Monster fell into silence.


    This time, the silencested an even longer time, only when the light drizzle gradually stopped, he


    spoke: “Alright, we will go ording to your idea.”
