Time is pressing, three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I must seize every minute and every second to improve my strength. Zhao Long didn't want to be disappointed three years later, when Zhang Siyu came back to attend Zhang's 100th birthday banquet with the only glimmer of hope. I don't want to have any resistance in the face of the Xue'er family, and I don't even have the capital for the most basic conversations.

Now that the Tianyan antiques have been put on track, although they still need a lot of resources, they can be supplied for the time being. Moreover, Su Zibing can also extort a lot of things from Kenji Toyomoto, which is enough for himself for a period of time. The rest will be found later, and the top priority is to increase the strength.

Therefore, this time, Zhao Long took away a large amount of materials prepared by Liu Liu before, plus the Ten Thousand Years Xuanbing, Fire Scorpion, Fire Spirit Rock, Wood Spirit Bud, Rare Earth, and a large number of pearls and gold purchased before, he had to concentrate on retreat and alchemy this time.

When he went to the island, Zhao Long investigated first, and there was still no ghost on the island, which made Zhao Long very pleased. It is normal for this kind of place with no resources and no suitable for tourism to be ignored. But Zhao Long was also thinking that when the funds were more sufficient after a while, he would still ask if he could buy this small island. Even if you can't buy it completely, it's better to buy a right to use it for decades, so that you can do whatever you want here in the future.

Zhao Long had this idea before, but the money was not abundant at that time, but now the conditions have begun to gradually mature.

I thought so in my heart, but when I really went to the island and took out the Danding, Zhao Long's mind was all retracted. With the support of the many Fire Spirit Rocks he received from the Fire Scorpion Sect last time, Zhao Long didn't have to worry about the fire qi needed for alchemy in a short period of time.

Because the branch of Tianyan Antique Shop is about to open, and when Cao Lao and the fourth brother will come, Zhao Long will refine more than 20 catties of wine before he completely enters alchemy and practice.

After refining these wines, Zhao Long suddenly thought of some other things, and was wondering whether things like tea or water could have this kind of refining effect.

There is no way to find so many good tea leaves to test for a while, and other things are not prepared in advance, and it is not easy to find them on this small island for a while, only the water source is the most convenient. There is a clear spring on this small island, which still flows to this day. It turns out that the people here depend on the spring water for their lives, but because of the volcanic eruption, the spring water is also polluted and can no longer be drunk.

Zhao Long held the Danding, which was now nearly 10,000 catties, and absorbed some water into it. Water can also be stored in this Danding, and with the increase of strength, Zhao Long can even vaguely feel that when it enters the Danding, it will be restrained by a force, wrapping it and storing it in it will not have any contact with other things. Not only that, but with this kind of power, it will not change no matter how much time passes.

But he didn't purify, thinking in his heart, Zhao Long immediately controlled the fire qi and his own energy, and constantly controlled Danding. As soon as his mind moved, the nearly 10,000 catties of water he had inhaled just now was completely purified, and an extremely faint bit of water qi appeared in an instant, but it was weak and almost useless. Zhao Long also knew that this Danding also had the ability to purify the Qi of the Five Elements, such as purifying the Qi of Water through water, but this was a thing that outweighed the loss, because the Qi of Fire that Zhao Long needed to consume was far greater than the Qi of water that was purified.

There was no result that Zhao Long wanted, and Zhao Long thought of another way, wanting to lure the water into the formation of refining wine, but that formation did not react at all. It's like a drunkard, if you don't smell the wine, you will never open the door, and Zhao Long was speechless for a while.

"This doesn't work, it seems to be good for wine, it seems that the person who refined this Danding was really a drunkard." Zhao Long looked at this Ding helplessly, and said to himself.

"This Ding is really good, anyway, there is no name, although it is not a famous Dan furnace, Dan Ding, but it is also a supreme treasure for you, great, awesome I see, you will call it the drunkard Ding in the future." The teacher's voice sounded in Zhao Long's head.

"Drunkard Ding." Zhao Long felt quite awkward when he heard it, although there was a special refining formation here, but the name always sounded weird. Zhao Long said, looking at the Danding in his hand, and suddenly saw the dragon head at the entrance to the fire, his eyes couldn't help but light up: "How about the Wine Dragon Ding, the Wine Dragon Refining Danding?" ”

The teacher said indifferently: "Whatever, this kind of thing is like that, you just listen to it and like it." The reason why the name of this thing is awesome is not how awesome you are, but because you awesome it's awesome. Just like the names of national leaders and celebrities in the ordinary world, they all have special significance and influence after he becomes famous and successful. ”

"Well, that's true." Zhao Long nodded in agreement and said, "Teacher, if you comment and explain well, what you say is really reasonable." ”

"What does that make sense?" When the teacher heard it, he immediately exploded: "Great, awesome, anything I say is the most reasonable, every word I say has an incomparably profound meaning, but it is difficult for you to understand." My greatness, my awesomeness is something you can't understand, do you understand, do you understand? ”

"I understand, I understand." Zhao Long hurriedly agreed, and then returned to the place of alchemy and began to refine the elixir.

This time, Zhao Long Jujin Dan, Jumu Dan, Jushui Dan, Juhuo Dan, and Jutu Dan five kinds of Five Elements Pills were refined one by one, and with the improvement of strength, Zhao Long's control of the Jiulong Alchemy Danding became more and more proficient. This kind of elixir, which was not called a real elixir in the teacher's mouth, Zhao Long was already able to refine it skillfully and quickly.

The refining is fast, and the consumption is also fast, and the other medicines prepared by Liu Liu were originally allowed to be refined normally, even if they were not used up in a month, but this time Zhao Long used it up completely in a week.

Although these drugs together are not as valuable as a certain Danyin, according to the list given by Liu Liu, it also cost more than 11 million to collect these medicines. Fortunately, the speed of making money in Tianyan antique shop is not slow now, if it was changed before, Zhao Longguang would not know how much time it would take to get these medicines.

This is also why since ancient times there has been a saying that the poor are rich and martial, if you don't even have three full meals, how can you have the strength to practice martial arts. And if you want to really achieve something, you need to use countless resources to assist, otherwise no matter how good your talent is, it will be in vain. Because of this, although Zhao Long is not directly involved in the operation of Tianyan antiques now, Zhao Long must not let Tianyan antique shop have anything.

Although in his current situation, he opens his mouth casually, money is definitely not a problem. But those are not long-term solutions, although it is said that many of the things that will be needed in the future cannot be bought with money, but there are many things that can be done with money, such as the auxiliary medicinal materials for alchemy in the future, which may be ten times more expensive than now. Only by allowing one's financial resources to continue to grow and keep up with the progress of one's own practice.

Having enough financial resources is equivalent to having a rear base to supply all your expenses. Thinking of this, Zhao Long has decided to make the Tianyan antique bigger again this time, not only that, but the other plans proposed by the fat man and himself before should also be accelerated. In the words of the fat man, it's a pity not to do a profitable business.

With the increase in strength now, there is no need to worry about the backlash of his left arm in a short period of time, and Zhao Long is even wondering whether to refine more wine to sell. With the quality of this wine, it is definitely easy to sell it for a sky-high price, but Zhao Long quickly denied this idea, after all, in order to refine this to increase the strength of his left arm and increase the chance of counterattack, there is some taste of drinking to quench his thirst. And a small amount of this wine is exclusive to yourself and your friends, which is also more special and has an exclusive taste.

It is still necessary to make its business system bigger, now that Longyan and Tianyan are developing, Tianyan should not be limited to antiques. This time, Zhao Long refined a total of eight hundred and sixty pills, and each pill was basically very even, and the difference was not too big. Then Zhao Long calculated the time, in case he forgot the time because of his cultivation of the Nine Turns and Five Elements Alchemy Technique, and forgot to participate in the Treasure Appreciation Conference, after all this was done, Zhao Long began to retreat and practice the Nine Turns and Five Elements Alchemy Technique.

………………………………………………………………………………………… Beijing, in the old house of the Cao family.

Cao Min and Ning Xian had just rushed back from outside, and Ning Xian seemed a little apprehensive, although Cao Lao was his father-in-law, he was still quite afraid of Cao Lao.

"There's nothing scary, we haven't done anything wrong." Cao Min said unhappily when he saw Ning Xian's cramped and worried look.

"Dad is old, don't be angry with him when you see him later, if there is anything to follow him." There are some things that Ning Xian can't tell Cao Min, Cao Min is the youngest daughter of Cao Lao, and she has grown up in the favor of everyone since she was a child.

"I just can't figure it out, we have someone in the capital who beat our Cao family, and we can still walk out of the capital in a big way. What's more, the relationship between Zhao Long and the Zhang family is extraordinary, I later found someone to investigate, not only did he have an ambiguous relationship with Su Zibing, he was his mysterious boyfriend, and his relationship with Zhang Siyu was also very different. Such a person can leave the capital without anything after beating Xiaochang, and people who don't know still think that our Cao family is afraid of the Zhang family. Cao Min is still very indignant, although many days have passed, she is still very unwilling.

"What's wrong with the Cao family, the Cao family has one more head and two noses than others?" At this moment, Cao Lao's voice suddenly sounded, and Cao Lao walked down from the upper floor. Since the loss of the influence of Jin Zhiqi, Cao Lao himself has been walking very steadily, and he walked down with a heavy tap on the ground with a stick, looking at Cao Min and Ning Xian angrily: "You tell and tell me, what's wrong with the people of the Cao family, is it one more arm than others or one more leg than others, why can't they move?" ”

"Dad......" Although Cao Min is not young, when he saw that Cao Lao lost his temper, he hurriedly stepped forward and said in a long voice: "This is not that we bullied people first, it was Xiao Chang who Zhao Long beat him, even if you know that Zhao Long, but Xiao Chang is your own grandson after all." ”

"Who is who, do you really think I don't know anything, Xiao Chang has been a fox and a fake tiger all these years, and he is more courageous than the sky, why, it is because of you supporting him behind. I have already asked people to send him away and throw him to the frontier to hone for a few years, if he can't be honed, then my Cao family will not have him in the future. And you ......" Cao Lao's eyes suddenly cold, and he looked at the couple with disappointment and punishment.

After Cao Min remembered, Cao Lao had been suffering from illness, and most of the time he was sad and sick, and he had no strength. About my father's battle on the battlefield and commanding hundreds of thousands of male soldiers to fight, I heard from others and knew it from watching movies. In addition, he is the youngest daughter of Cao Lao and the most favored, so he is not as afraid of Cao Lao as other Cao family children. But today, seeing Cao Lao angry, the momentum made Cao Min so depressed that he couldn't even hold back the words that he had been preparing for many days, and he couldn't say a word.

As for Ning Xian, he didn't dare to say a word of explanation in front of Cao Lao, and lowered his head to listen to Cao Lao's reprimand.

"Now I am alive, if one day I am gone, you are still so unscrupulous, who will protect you if something happens. Don't think that no one in this world can clean up your world, how big the world is in your eyes, and where do you understand that there is a sky outside the sky and there are people outside the world. Then Zhao Long and I have talked to his peers, and he also saved my life, so that I will no longer be tortured by illness, so that I can live for a few more years, but you have to clean him up with such a person? ”

Ning Xian's sweat was already soaked all over his body, and the pressure of the old man's anger was too great, and the person who was overwhelmed had a feeling that he was about to collapse.

As for Cao Min's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard Cao Lao's words, this Zhao Long was so different, he also saved the old man, no wonder the old man protected him so much.

"Dad, are you really cured?" Although Cao Min is not young, he is still wrapped around Cao Lao like a child, and then muttered: "Count him lucky, let him go this time." ”

"He's so good ......" Cao Lao really loves this little daughter and is a little helpless: "There may be an existence behind him that we can't afford to provoke, you guys, be honest." ”

Cao Min didn't believe it at all, and there was no one in the country that the Cao family couldn't afford to provoke, even if the Zhang family or several other families of the same level were at most comparable, and they couldn't be provoked at all.

Looking at her appearance, Cao Lao knew what she was thinking, and he had a careful understanding of Zhao Long, on the one hand, he was kind to himself for helping him relieve his illness, and on the other hand, from all kinds of signs, there may be Dan Dao behind this Zhao Long.

But Dan Dao couldn't tell Cao Min about it, I didn't know that sometimes it was a blessing, Cao Lao could only warn them again, and tell them that they had to inform him of Zhao Long's affairs as soon as possible in the future. If you mess with it again, you will send them all to the frontier directly.
