In Xiao Jiu's room, sitting around the fat man and Mu Qianyu who were left by him, the fat man asked, "Boss, what do you command?"

As you said, now our development has entered a bottleneck period, and we still need to be hard to strike iron, and finding ways to improve our strength is the right way!"

"This is true, but we can't pull out the seedlings to help them grow, otherwise there will be endless troubles, and we need to settle down for a while now!" Mu Qianyu said after thinking for a while.

"Yes, you can still keep a clear head!Fat man, how many absolutely credible people are there under your hands now?Note that I say absolutely-" Xiao Jiu suddenly asked solemnly.

"Hmm~! there are nine!" said the fat man after thinking for a long time.

"In that case, a few of you will start an all-round investigation and test of these nine people tomorrow, no matter what way you can, remember that what we want is absolute loyalty, and we would rather lack than abuse!"

"Okay boss, we'll arrange it tomorrow!"

"Hmm~!This matter is mainly based on Qianyu, assisted by others!I think so, after these people pass the test, I will give you another bottle of 'Life Essence', dilute it and divide it into nine parts, and hand it over to them to improve their physique and martial arts qualifications, we must speed up the pace of forming forces!"

"And I successfully wedged a nail in the opponent's camp in the ancient realm this time, guess who?"

"Hmm~!

"Hehe~!Clever, you get in touch with him as soon as possible and keep in touch secretly!"

After explaining everything, the three of them then discussed some other matters and dispersed.

Xiao Jiu's strength has also grown too fast in recent months, and he feels that his martial arts perception can't keep up with the growth of his strength, so he decided to browse some martial arts classics of the sages when he has time in the near future to increase his martial arts accumulation.

The next day, Xiao Jiu just wanted to go out after getting up, but was blocked in the house by Shangguan Yufeng, Shangguan Yufeng was washed by the 'life essence', which became more and more crystal clear, and his skin was as white as jade.

"Brother Xiaojiu, why are you looking at me like this, what's wrong with me?"

"Uh~!no, no-"

"Then you still have fun things here, Yurou is busy with this and that every day, and she doesn't play with me, it's too boring!"

"Hehe, then you won't find something to do on your own, save yourself boredom, won't you?"

"I'm not interested in those things, it's not fun! I want to open an inn or a restaurant or something, but my brother just doesn't agree!"

"Hmm~!It's good to have an idea!Oh!Oh!That's right, aren't you bored now, I'll find you a companion!You close your eyes, I'll surprise you!" Xiao Jiu suddenly remembered the 'Xiaobai' in the Heavenly Spirit Star Palace, who had been stuffy in it these days, maybe he would have been suffocated for a long time!

Shangguan Yufeng hurriedly closed his eyes when he heard this, Xiao Jiu's mind moved, and Xiao Bai appeared in front of him instantly.

"Whew~!, you suffocated me, Brother Xiaojiu, you didn't let me out for so long, and you didn't play with me, you won't forget me, right?"

Shangguan Yufeng heard the sound of speaking, and quickly opened his eyes, only to see a snow-white and extremely cute little fox suddenly appear in the room.

"Wow~!This little thing is so cute!" After speaking, he stepped forward to pick up Xiaobai.

"Who are you?You are a small thing, your whole family is a small thing!Hmph~!Don't think that only you are big, when I turn into a human form, I will definitely be bigger than you!" Xiao Bai looked at the turbulent waves on Shangguan Yufeng's chest, and said with some taste.

Seeing that the other party wanted to hug him, Xiao Bai 'slipped away' and hid behind Xiao Jiu, revealing his little head and looking at Shangguan Yufeng with an angry face.

"Where is this, what kind of mess?" Xiao Jiu was made to cry and laugh by the two.

"Hehe, don't make trouble, you two! Come, I'll introduce you! Xiaobai, this is Shangguan Yufeng, you can call her 'Sister Yufeng'! Feng'er, her name is Xiaobai, I know my sister in the ancient realm, it's an 'Ancient Xuanyu Spirit Fox'!"

"Hmph~!I don't call her 'sister'!" Xiaobai pouted and said.

"Hee~!Xiaobai, if you call me sister, I'll finish with you, and then introduce another sister to you, and the three of us will play together!But if you don't call it, Brother Xiaojiu will lock you up again!" Shangguan Yufeng said slyly, and glared at Xiao Jiu.

"Brother Xiaojiu, is what he said true?"

"It's true, Brother Xiao Jiu has been busy lately, so I don't have time to accompany you, if you don't want to play with her, then you can only go back and accompany you when I have time!"

"Don't, I don't want to go back!Hmm~!Sister, I'll play with you-"

"Haha~!You're so cute! Sister will take you to play, let's go-" Shangguan Yufeng's treacherous plan succeeded, and he immediately danced happily, and ran to find Xia Yurou with Xiaobai.

Xiao Jiu hurriedly followed out and came to Xia Yurou's room together.

"Yurou, come out quickly, I'll introduce you to a friend!" Before entering the house, Shangguan Yufeng shouted.

"What are you talking about, what a crazy girl!" Xia Yurou came out when she heard the voice, and when she saw Xiao Jiu hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, she was immediately attracted by the cute Xiaobai.

Through Shangguan Yufeng's babbling introduction, even if they knew each other, the two women and one beast became one after a while.

Xiao Jiu came with them to tell them that they must not rashly take Xiaobai out, if this matter is just explained to Shangguan Yufeng, he will not worry, with Xia Yurou, it should be no problem.

This time, I am going to go to the Nangong family to visit Nangong Batian, and I also need to get familiar with the upper circle of Fengnan County.

Coming to the door of the Nangong family, there were more than a dozen guards standing at the door, Xiao Jiu stepped forward and said, "I bother a few people to report the young master of the sky, and say that Tianjiu Ling is coming to visit!"

"Oh~!It turned out to be Tiangongzi, disrespectful and disrespectful!Please wait for a while, and my subordinates will go to Tongyu immediately!" The guards rushed into the mansion and went to report, after all, Xiao Jiu is also famous now.

"Haha~!Brother, my brother is slacking, please come in!" Nangong Batian heard that Xiao Jiu came to visit, and he happily greeted him, and after greeting each other, he took Xiao Jiu's hand and came to his residence together.

"Brother, I heard that no, the Kingdom of God will hold the 'Nine Counties Qualifying Match' in a month!"

"'Nine Counties Qualifying', what is it?"

"No wonder you don't know, you have been staying in the backing town before! This 'Nine Counties Qualifying Competition' is similar to the Fengnan County Competition, which is held every three years, which involves the division of interests of each county, so each county attaches great importance to it!"

"Oh~!Is that also a martial artist under the age of sixteen?"

"No, the rules stipulate that you are under twenty years old, so brother, you are very hopeful this time, after all, the sixfold strength of your Grandmaster Realm is there!"

"Hehe, that's not necessarily, besides, your Grandmaster Realm Triple Peak Strength is not bad!"

I heard that if you get good results, the Kingdom of God and Fengnan County will give you a reward, and the reward is quite generous!"

"Hehe, is it?" 'If you really doze off, someone will send a pillow'! I just took the opportunity to expand the layout in Helan Divine Kingdom and lay the foundation for the next development of Yuntian Firm.

"Brother Nangong, my brother is coming to the door for the first time, a small gift is not a tribute, please smile!" Xiao Jiu finished speaking, and took out a spirit grass that shone with red spiritual light.

As soon as this thing came out, the room suddenly shone with red light, swallowing firelight, and the temperature suddenly rose and was extremely hot.

"Sizzle~!'Three Thousand Years of Red Flame Forging Body Spirit Grass'!This, this is too precious!" Nangong Batian suddenly exclaimed in surprise, and he resigned again and again.

"Hehe, this spirit grass has a great effect on forging the body, I see that Brother Nangong's refining body has entered the hall, I hope you don't push it back!"

"Then, that brother, I'll be disrespectful!" Nangong Batian took out a jade box after speaking, and carefully put away the spirit grass.

The two then drank and talked happily, and the atmosphere became more enthusiastic, and Xiao Jiu got up to say goodbye with the wine and dinner, and Nangong Batian kept sending him out of the door.

The next day, as Nangong Batian said, Xiao Jiu received a notice from the Chengwei Mansion and asked him to go to the Chengwei Mansion.

In the reception room of the Chengwei Mansion, several Tianjiao had arrived, and the Bao brothers and brothers were warmly greeting everyone, seeing Xiao Jiu coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

After a while, ten Tianjiao-level figures from Fengnan County were gathered, and Ximen Aoxue was impressively listed, and he had reached the sixfold mid-level strength of the Grandmaster Realm in a few days, but seeing that Xiao Jiu was still a stranger, his mood instantly fell to the bottom.

In addition to Xiao Jiu, the ten Tianjiao who were invited were: Bao Tianxing, Bao Tianjiao, Dongfang Renjie, Nangong Yuntian, Nangong Batian, Ximen Aoxue, Ximen Zhen, Beiming Can't, Shangguan Qingyu, the first three are all from the City Guard Mansion, and the last six are from major families, and most of their strength is between the three and six levels of the Grandmaster Realm.

At this time, Zhennan Hou Bao Buping also came to the reception room and sat in the center.

"Hehe, this time I invite you to come, it is for the nine counties qualifying tournament to be held in the capital Helan City in a month, I hope you can do your best for my Fengnan County, our results in the past are not ideal, I hope this time there can be a breakthrough!"

All the participants expressed their attitudes, saying that they would definitely live up to the trust of the Hou Ye and strive for the best results.

Next, Bao Buping briefly introduced the rules of the qualifying race, which are basically the same as the rules of Fengnan County, and they are scheduled to set off together to Helan City in half a month.

After the meeting, Xiao Jiu glanced at Ximen Aoxue, who was getting colder and colder, and then left gloomily, as if with the improvement of strength, her heart was also frozen.

Xiao Jiu returned to Yuntian Business in a dull manner, and Xiao Bai jumped into his arms, rubbing his cheek affectionately.

"Brother Xiao Jiu, why are you upset, who bullied you? I'm going to beat him-" Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Jiu's gloomy expression and waved her little fist and said.

"Plop——, you little elf, I'll be fine when I see your brother!" Looking at Xiao Bai's cute expression, the dark clouds in Xiao Jiu's heart disappeared.

"Hmph~!You little white-eyed wolf, seeing that your brother doesn't even care about your sister!, you are really blind to me with so many good things!" Shangguan Yufeng and Xia Yurou arrived later, Shangguan Yufeng kept complaining to Xiao Jiu, making Xiao Jiu laugh 'haha'.

"Feng'er, what about your brother and them, I have something to do with them!"

"What's the matter, you're a 'mother'? It's either this or that all day, so you can't play with us for a while?"

"I—I'm looking for them!"

"Hehe~!Okay, girl, don't make trouble, Brother Xiaojiu has something to do!" Xia Yurou hurriedly cleared the siege.

Xiao Jiu took this opportunity to hurriedly run away, this girl's mouth is really unbearable!
