The broken copper lock fell on the table, clanged, and then stopped shaking.

Xu Lao stretched out his hand and slowly opened the lid of the wooden box, revealing something inside.

In the middle of the wooden box is a black filler, on which is a layer of black flannel, and in the center is a jade bottle with a surface as white as snow, and the mouth of the porcelain bottle is plugged by a wooden stopper.

It's just that this jade bottle looks like it's worth an extraordinary, and it's definitely made of top-grade jade.

Zhou Wen poked his head out curiously and stared at the jade bottle in the wooden box.

Is this something that the people of the Yama Temple want to rob?

It's just that if it's just this one bottle, it's not worth the trouble of the people of the Yama Palace.

Zhou Wen thought in his heart, waiting for Xu Lao's answer.

Xu Lao didn't mean to avoid Zhou Wen, he looked at this jade bottle, as if thinking about something, and his eyes were also crystal clear.

He stretched out his wrinkled hand and took the jade bottle out of it.

The jade bottle is half the size of an adult's palm, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and has a round belly.

"More than ten years have passed, and it has finally arrived. Xu Lao looked at the jade bottle in his hand and muttered.

Zhou Wen listened quietly and did not speak.

He had long understood that Xu Lao was definitely not an ordinary person.

I don't know why I lived in seclusion in Yiming City and became the owner of a small bookstore.

Seeing that Xu Lao pinched this copper lock with two fingers today, Zhou Wen confirmed the thoughts in his heart even more.

Xu Lao turned his head to look at it at this time, and said with a smile: "Do you really want to know what is inside?"

Zhou Wen nodded when he heard this.

Xu Lao smiled and took out the cork.

As soon as the cork was taken out, a stream of aroma erupted from the jade bottle, and in an instant, the whole room was filled with fragrance.

Zhou Wen shrugged his nose and took a deep breath.

The aroma mixed with the smell of herbs was inhaled from his nose into his lungs, and Zhou Wen felt that his whole body was smooth, and even his brain was much clearer.

The fragrance of the inhalation instantly spreads to the limbs, and a refreshing feeling spreads throughout the body.

But he didn't forget the important thing, and hurriedly poked his head out to look into the jade bottle, which contained a white pill.

This scent is from this pill.

Xu Lao held the bottle to the tip of his nose and also took a deep breath.

At this point, he began to tremble, and he hurriedly placed the bottle on the table, and then coughed violently.

He immediately put the handkerchief to his mouth, and then coughed, and when he took the handkerchief away, there was a black bruise on it.

After this cough, Zhou Wen found that Xu Lao's whole person seemed to be much more energetic, his face gradually appeared bloody and shiny, and his eyes began to light up, compared with the previous haggard appearance, it seemed to be a new look.

Xu Lao immediately stuffed the cork on the jade bottle, and he looked much more comfortable.

"Zhou Wen, in the jade bottle, Tianxing entrusted people to visit the famous mountains and rivers, and finally found the Medicine King family in a hidden mountain range, and asked the Medicine King family to refine the pill for me. Xu Lao said slowly.

As the cork is stopped, the fragrance wafting through the space fades.

Just this aroma made Zhou Wen feel comfortable all over his body, and if he really swallowed this whole pill, it would definitely be a great tonic.

This pill must be extraordinary.

When Zhou Wen heard Old Xu's words, he knew it in his heart.

The elixir refined by the family of the hidden medicine king is no wonder it has such an effect.

"The medicinal materials used in this pill are more than 100 years old, and it is prepared with seventy-two kinds of medicinal materials, and it is refined by virtue of the unique technique of the medicine king family, I dare not say that the flesh and bones of life and death are white, but one goes down, if it is taken by ordinary people, it can enhance its physique, and if it is taken by a warrior, it can increase its strength. Xu Lao explained.

He placed the jade bottle on the table, and then slowly got up from the chaise longue, walked to the door and closed the door of the bookstore.

Then he pulled a rope by the door, and the light in the room came on.

At this moment, the door of the bookstore is closed.

Zhou Wenming is white, what Xu Lao is going to say next may be something that cannot be passed on.

As for whether Elder Xu would have any ill intentions towards him, Zhou Wendao was not worried.

With Xu Lao's strength, it can be said that it is easy to deal with him, and there is no need to go through such a big effort.

Elder Xu Xu returned to his seat and sat down, he looked at Zhou Wen and smiled.

"Zhou Wen, you already know the origin of this pill, and you may also understand how much effort and wealth Tianxing spent in order to get this pill. Xu Lao smiled.

"I understand. Zhou Wen nodded.

Now the medicinal materials on the market for more than 100 years can be said to be extremely precious, Zhou Wen remembers reading a news before, a place in the northeast dug up a hundred years of wild ginseng, the weight of a few hundred grams, the price has soared to more than one million.

This pill is refined with seventy-two centuries-old medicinal materials, and it is very valuable.

Only Xiao Tianxing, the helmsman of Tianxing Group, who is in charge of this super business group, can come up with such a huge amount of money.

It's just that Zhou Wen wondered, what is this pill used for?

"I already know that the people of the Yama Hall are blocking you on the road, but their purpose is not this elixir, but me. Xu Lao said at this time.

"Old Xu, did you have any conflicts with the Yama Palace back then?" Zhou Wen said curiously.

Speaking of the Yama Palace, Xu Lao's body suddenly stood up, like a sword suddenly unsheathed, and his body released a momentum like Yuan's Yuezhi.

"Contradictions, of course, but they were decades ago. When Elder Xu said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Since you have already fought with the people of the Yama Palace, you must also know the existence of the martial artist, and the hall master of the Yama Hall is an out-and-out martial artist. Xu Lao said sharply.

"When I was young, I met Yama Temple by chance, and found that all the businesses they did were unacceptable, traitorous businesses to the country and the people. ”

"It's just that I overestimated my strength, and the hall master of the Yama Palace, with the four major judges under his command and a group of ghosts, joined forces to attack and seriously injured me, and after I took the opportunity to escape, I lived in seclusion in Yiming City. Xu Lao lightly told the events of the year.

He said it very calmly, but these words fell on Zhou Wen's ears and set off stormy waves.

The hall master of the Yama Hall is an out-and-out martial artist, and the four major judges under his command are even more internal martial artists, and these five people have joined forces, and the force value has stood at the peak of the world.

But in this way, Xu Lao was not cleaned up, but was escaped by Xu Lao.

To survive under the hands of the Gangqi Warrior, only the Gangqi Warrior!

"Old Xu, could it be that you are a Gang Qi martial artist?" Zhou Wen said in surprise.

At the moment, only this one answer can be explained.

"Yes and no. Xu Lao sighed.

"My strength has decreased after I was seriously injured, and now I am no longer a Gang Qi martial artist, this pill is what Tianxing asked to restore my strength. ”

"As long as you take this pill and wait for me to retreat for a few days, you will be able to restore the strength of the Gang Qi Martial Artist. Xu Lao said slowly.

At this moment, Zhou Wen understood everything.

When Xu Lao was young, he clashed with the Yama Temple, escaped after being seriously injured, and lived in seclusion in Yiming City.

Xiao Tianxing, as Xu Lao's apprentice, will naturally find a way to restore his strength for Xu Lao.

"In the first battle of the year, the Yama Palace also suffered heavy losses, the four major judges were killed by me, one was seriously injured, and the ghosts were killed and injured countless, and the king of Yama also suffered a lot of injuries, since they have dared to intercept you, it seems that their strength has almost recovered. Xu Lao said slowly.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Zhou Wen, and said: "Zhou Wen, you are the first junior who caught my attention after I have lived in seclusion in Yiming City for so long, I have seen everything you have done, if it weren't for the fact that I no longer accept apprentices, I really want you to be my disciple." Xu Lao smiled.

He had been hiding this matter in his heart for a long time, but no one told him.

Telling Zhou Wen this time, Xu Lao's heart also felt a little comfortable, after all, he was uncomfortable before.

Gangqi martial artists accept apprentices, if this is introduced to the Huaxia martial arts world, it will definitely set off a stormy wave.

In the world, there can be a few gangqi warriors.

Zhou Wen knew in his heart that the ancestor of the Guo family who knew from the mouth of the Vermilion Bird Hall was a Gang Qi martial artist, and now with the addition of the hall master of the Yama Palace, plus Xu Lao, there are only three of them.

King Yama, the lord of the Yama Palace, the four major judges under his command, countless ghosts, and his forces spread into a huge black net that shrouded the northwest region and even abroad.

The ancestor of the Guo family is the ruler of the Guo family, one of the four major families in Shanghai.

Even if Xu Lao lives in seclusion in Yiming City, he is backed by the Tianxing Group led by Xiao Tianxing, which is also a position that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

Wherever these Gang Qi warriors are placed, they represent absolute power.

Now, Xu Lao actually directly stated his intention and wanted to accept Zhou Wen as an apprentice, although he no longer accepted apprentices, but this sentence alone is enough.

"Elder Xu, what you need to do now is to recuperate your injuries first, and then talk about anything else. Zhou Wen smiled lightly.

When Xu Lao saw Zhou Wen's calm expression, he was suddenly surprised in his heart.

He thought that after he said this, Zhou Wen would be extremely disappointed, but he didn't expect that Zhou Wen would actually react like this.

He didn't seem to care if he was an apprentice of a Gang Qi Martial Artist at all.

Xu Lao couldn't help the question in his heart, and immediately asked: "Zhou Wen, I can't accept you as an apprentice, don't you regret it?"

Zhou Wen smiled and said calmly: "Old Xu, I am naturally happy if I can become the apprentice of the Gangqi Martial Artist, and I will not regret if I can't become it. ”

His tone was sonorous and powerful, and what he said was completely heartfelt.

If he had known these things in high school, he might have regretted them.

But now, he doesn't.

Not to mention, Zhou Wen himself has pretended to be a Gang Qi martial artist, if he says this, Xu Lao must be more surprised.

It's just that, Zhou Wen won't say it.

"Good!good!good!good! worthy of the person I value Xu Shan!" Xu Lao said in surprise.

He felt the conviction between Zhou Wen's words.

He also had this belief.

"In that case, I won't hide my secrets, although I can't take you as an apprentice, but I still need to teach you a few tricks to defend yourself. Xu Lao said loudly.
