Shang Xia didn't hide his intentions at all.

In fact, in the current situation, there is no need for him to hide anything.

When Shang Xia informed everyone of the existence of the Phantom Spirit, although everyone was shocked, they all calmly accepted Shang Xia's proposal.

In a sense, the Phantom Demon was the first to be discovered by Shang Xia, and he was naturally qualified to deal with it.

What's more, they have now lost contact with Tongyou Peak, and in the case that they may face the four heavens of the Moon Season Society at any time, they are doing more to save themselves.

As for the Inner She's Teachings to Gu Shou, although his cultivation has reached the third level of the Martial Artistic Conception, he is still some distance away from the Martial Artistic Conception Dacheng.

Through the central array diagram, Shang Xia had long known that in the land of mountains and rivers and phantom spirits, there were four rockeries with stone chambers.

Shang Xia had already visited three of them, and among the three stone chambers, they also had their own gains.

Only this fourth stone chamber is the first time to visit.

After determining the idea of ensuring that Shang Ke would attack the Wusha Realm first, everyone performed their duties and immediately began to act.

And Shang Xia followed Shang Ke to the fourth stone chamber that was opened by Chu Jia.

This stone chamber is specially used to absorb and refine the Phantom Spirit, which is prepared for the warriors who attack the Martial Demon Realm.

On the walls of the four sides of the stone chamber is also engraved a set of formation systems specially prepared for this purpose.

The grandfather and grandson sat casually, and Shang Xia smiled and said, "Fifth Grandpa, you don't always blame me for overstepping your responsibilities and letting you attack the Four Heavens without any preparation in advance, right?"

Shang Ke smiled: "You kid has great ability and is also a person with deep opportunities. How many people want to get the origin of evil qi but can't get it, and their own cultivation is trapped in the martial artistic conception. Not only did you kid get it, but he also gave it away, and the old man got such a big bargain, is it difficult to complain to you?

Shang Xia heard Shang Ke's tone of joy, and there was no displeasure, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "Having said that, my grandson also feels a little regretful. The fifth grandfather is now cultivating to the great perfection of martial arts, if it is not for the urgency of the matter, there may be an opportunity to comprehend the magic power of martial arts, so as to reach the realm of martial arts conception and great consummation. In this way, the foundation of the Advance Quadruple Heavenly Queen will become even stronger. ”

Shang Ke smiled and comforted him in turn: "You don't need to be like this, in fact, my cultivation has reached the level it is today six or seven years ago, but I haven't made any progress over the years. In fact, I no longer have the luxury of expecting to be able to comprehend the divine power of the martial artistic conception, it is just an important medium for advancing to the Fourfold Heavens, and the origin of evil qi is also available but not sought. Even your grandfather and my third brother have searched for many things over the years, but in the end they have found nothing. That's why it's been postponed to this day. ”

Shang Xia naturally knew this, but knowing was one thing, and Shang Ke's own thoughts were another.

However, after hearing Shang Ke say, in fact, he himself had already given up his insistence on martial arts, and Shang Xia finally put his mind at ease.

"The matter of the advanced potion ......"

This was the last thing Shang Xia worried about.

Shang Ke patted his right hand on his waist, and a bronze wine jug with delicate reliefs carved on the surface appeared in his hand: "Since I already knew that such a thing as the origin of evil qi was often hard to come by, how could the old man not prepare it in advance? ”

"It's just that most of the advanced potions can't and dare not be stored for a long time, so they are often made into semi-finished products by pharmacists, and when they are used, they can be blended and fused in the last few simple steps at any time, and they can be taken directly. ”

Shang Xia was surprised: "There is still such an operation?"

Shang Kedao: "It is not easy to make high-level advanced elixirs, but advanced opportunities are also hard to find, and they are often fleeting, if you want to seize the opportunity of advanced elixirs, you can only make a fuss about the advanced elixirs that have been prepared in advance." ”

Shang Xia nodded thoughtfully.

Shang Xia followed Shang Ke to the stone room, originally because he was afraid that Shang Ke would misunderstand.

Since it didn't happen, Shang Xia was ready to leave, not daring to delay his old man's advancement time any longer.

Unexpectedly, just as Shang Xia was about to get up, Shang Ke suddenly had a deep look on his face and said, "Xiao Xia, what do you think of the relationship between the family and the academy?"

Shang Xia was slightly stunned, and subconsciously blurted out: "One is prosperous, and one is lost!"

Shang Ke nodded, the look on his face was noncommittal, and said, "What you said is not wrong, Tongyou Academy is indeed the foundation of the current strength of the entire Youzhou, and Kou Shanchang is even more of a genius in the sky. But the fifth grandfather always thought that the family should not be tied too tightly with the academy, at least the independence of the Shang family should be maintained. ”

Shang Xia was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Shang Ke to say such a thing.

Shang Xia looked at Shang Ke with blazing eyes, and asked carefully, "Why did Fifth Grandpa tell me this?"

Shang Ke looked at him deeply and said, "The third brother has too deep a college imprint on his body...... Of course, this is not an accusation, but an affirmation, an affirmation of his contribution to the family's rise. In fact, in a sense, the rise of merchants in Tongyou City was originally the result of Kou Shanchang's deliberate support. ”

Shang Xia didn't understand a little, listening to the tone of the fifth grandfather, Kou Shanchang's support for Shang Xia should have another purpose, but the Shang family is now really among the four major families in Tongyoucheng, and the Zhi'en Tu report is the right move.

However, Shang Xia didn't want to refute directly, but kept silent and listened quietly.

Shang Ke saw that Shang Xia was speechless, and he probably had some speculation about what he was thinking, and he saw that he also considered it: "I mean to say that Kou Shan Chang and Tongyou Academy have the grace of the Shang family, and this kind of kindness cannot be denied, but we family elders will pay it back, and we will pay it back as much as possible." After all, the merchant is an independent family force, and he can be an ally, partner, and collaborator of Tongyou Academy, but he must not become a vassal of the other party, at least not a vassal of Tongyou Academy in the future, and live on the snort of others, can you understand what I mean?"

Shang Ke hesitated slightly, but finally nodded.

Shang Ke smiled, as if he was afraid that Shang Xia would think too much, so he said one more sentence: "I don't want you to be the enemy of the academy!"

"I know!"

Shang Xia suddenly raised his head and smiled, "I understand what you mean, I think I will grasp the heat here." ”

Shang Ke's face was relieved, but he still said: "The heat in this is not so easy to grasp. ”

As he spoke, Shang Ke took out a jade bottle from the Jinyun box, and after pouring the potion in the bronze pot into the jade bottle, a rich aroma of wine began to permeate.

I saw Shang Ke take two more paper packets, pour the different colors of powder into them, and then crush the two wax pills and soak them into the jade bottle, which soon dissolved.

Shang Ke held up the jade bottle with one hand, and sighed while shaking it slightly: "The fourth-order advanced elixir 'Multiple Thousand Illusion Brew' is the same as the advanced elixir your grandfather used when he advanced to the Fourth Heaven, and it is all provided by Kou Shanchang!"

"Oh," Shang Xia nodded, suddenly stunned, looked up at Shang Ke and said, "Fifth Grandpa, you said that the fourth-order advanced potion was provided by Kou Shanchang, and our merchant doesn't have its own fourth-order advanced elixir formula?"

Shang Ke's smile was slightly bitter: "Child, everyone says that the merchant is the four major families of Tongyou City, and your grandfather is now cultivating to chase Ji Wenlong." If I can succeed this time, then our merchant has two major quadruple heavens, and in the eyes of outsiders, it must be the largest family in Tongyou City. But who would have thought that the Shang family, one of the so-called four major families, actually didn't even inherit a fourth-order advanced formula that belonged to their own family?"

Shang Xia said in a sullen voice: "The other three have?"

Shang Ke nodded and said, "Yes, there must be!" The three families of Ji, Liu, and Yun were originally three of the five great families in Youzhou, and of course they had their own fourth-order inheritance. ”

Shang Xia asked in a deep voice, "My grandfather and you have made an oath that the recipe of the 'Multiple Thousand Illusion Brew' cannot be passed on?"

Shang Ke nodded and said, "This is the usual method of the academy, so naturally there is nothing wrong with it. Moreover, this 'Multiple Thousand Illusion Brew' can be regarded as one of the most suitable for our merchants among the four-order advanced formulas collected by the academy. ”

"It's just that without the advanced inheritance of the Four Heavens, our merchants are still city walls on the sand after all, and they can't withstand the wind and rain at all. Once there is an accident between me or your grandfather, our merchant four-heaven master will immediately be cut off, and the Shang family will immediately fall from the four major families, and it may even be a catastrophe!"

"So we need a Quadruple Heaven Advanced Formula now, a Four-Order Advanced Formula that belongs exclusively to our merchants!" Shang Xia took over and muttered to himself.

Shang Ke said, "Every Fourfold Heaven Advanced Formula is precious, but if you have the opportunity, it's best to find a Fourth-Order Advanced Formula that is relatively compatible with our merchant's martial arts inheritance. ”

Shang Ke paused for a moment and continued: "The most complete martial arts inherited by our merchants is based on spearmanship, and the first and second orders are also reversed. Although our merchant gun does not have the inheritance of the fourth order, it is recognized as strong in the third order. When your grandfather was in the martial arts realm, he might not be similar to Ouyang Xianyuan, who had just died before. ”

Shang Xia said: "Okay!"

After advancing the martial arts conception, cultivating the merchant's family martial arts was Shang Xia's plan.

The aroma of the wine in Shang Ke's jade bottle has become more and more intense in the continuous shaking, and even just after taking two sips of wine, Shang Xia has a feeling of dizziness.

"Actually, this time the Coral Forest Ruins were opened, which was the best chance to capture the fourth-order advanced formula!" Shang Ke sighed.

Shang Xia was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "The Zhu family's fourth-order advanced formula? Could it be that this is the real purpose of Deputy Mountain Chief Liu, Yuejihui, Tongyou Academy, and the four major families?"

Shang Ke smiled and didn't answer directly, but asked, "Do you know how many Dao Dao in the Zhu family can go straight to the fourth-order martial arts inheritance?"

Shang Xia shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Shang Ke curled his open palm back with a thumbs up and said, "Four kinds!"

Shang Xia was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "It is worthy of being the first family of the former Youzhou! It's just that these four inheritances are related to the four spiritual lands of the Coral Forest?"

"I didn't know before, but now it seems to be related!" Shang Ke said.

Shang Xia said with some envy: "The depth of the Zhu family's heritage is indeed breathtaking!"

Shang Ke suddenly said at this time: "But these four fourth-order advanced formulas are not really what makes Tongyou City and Yueji crazy......

"What could that be?" Shang Xia asked subconsciously strangely.

"Fifth Order!"

Shang Ke's gaze looked a little hollow at this time, and even his voice seemed to be ethereal: "There have always been rumors among the high-level martial artists in Youzhou back then, that the old patriarch of the Zhu clan has a complete martial arts realm advanced formula in his hand!"

Today is still a shift, and it is still adjusting, and the biological clock is so chaotic that the whole person is in a state of madness, staring in a daze all day long.
