Raising his hand and pinching a pill in his hand, he could feel the perfect feeling transmitted from the pill, this perfection was not only reflected in the effect of the pill, but also in every trace of texture and every detail of the pill.

He has been refining pills for so many years, and he has refined a lot of pills, but he doesn't know if he can refine them in his lifetime at this level of pills in front of him.

"What kind of grandmaster would make such a joke when he has nothing to do?"

His brows tightened, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, because under normal circumstances, an alchemy master of this level would rarely go to a barren place like the Great Qin Dynasty, let alone practice the Divine Pill and directly take it to the auction to auction, which is simply like insulting himself.

"I hope Ao'er can investigate this matter clearly, so that I can know how to report it to the top." Shaking his head, he knew that no matter how much he thought about it at the moment, it was useless, after all, some Dan Array Masters' thinking was not the same as ordinary people, even if they did some strange things, it was very normal, everything, I am afraid that they would have to wait for their disciples to investigate before making a decision.

Leaving Qin Invincible's mansion, Ji Dong first found a place where no one was there and removed the hat and cloak, and then put on his mask and walked around the imperial city of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The transaction with the Nangong family made him deeply realize the extraordinaryness of the four great families, so what he wanted to do most at the moment was to explore the reality of these four great families.

The mansions of the four great families are located in the four directions of the Great Qin Dynasty, and they are all far apart.

"Is this the mansion of the Oriental family? Sure enough, it is one of the four great families, and at first glance it is different from those ordinary families. ”

From a distance, he saw a huge mansion in front of him, this mansion was not only large enough, but also obviously exuded an extraordinary aura, he knew that this kind of aura was the kind of aura that the powerhouses of the Platinum Realm would naturally exude when they lived in it.

Maybe ordinary people can't feel such an aura, but for him who has cultivated the method of breathing, feeling these is simply a piece of cake.

"A big family that even the royal family is afraid of, I really want to know what kind of families are these!" After pondering for a moment, Ji Dong then released his spiritual power and went directly to the mansion of the Dongfang family.

Although the four great families are all strong, he believes that these families should at least not have a strong Dan Formation Master, and even if there is a Dan Formation Master, it should not be stronger than him, so his spiritual power exploration is still relatively safe.

As for the Platinum Realm powerhouse, let's not talk about whether the Platinum Realm powerhouse can feel the exploration of spiritual power, even if he really feels it, he won't pay attention to it at all, after all, the superpower doesn't have spiritual power, and he won't lock his position in turn.

"Sure enough, there are many masters, this kind of background, it really has to catch up with the royal family!" Spiritual power probed into the mansion, and soon, he found a lot of secret sentinels hidden in the shadows, these secret sentinels are extraordinary, and they can compete with the royal palace.

"It's ...... The breath of a Platinum Realm powerhouse! Soon, his spiritual power probed into the depths of the mansion, and when his spiritual power penetrated into an underground secret room, the breath of two platinum realm powerhouses was transmitted back for the first time, one of which was very strong, almost as soon as his spiritual power probed the other party, the other party seemed to have some senses, and he opened his eyes directly!

"Amazing, really powerful, is this the essence of the Oriental family? One of the two platinum realm powerhouses is even stronger than me?!! ”

hurriedly collected his spiritual power, but his heart was difficult to calm down for a long time.

If he wasn't mistaken, the strength of one of the two Platinum Realm powerhouses of the Eastern Family should have reached the level of the four old elders of the True Martial Saint Academy, and the other one, although it was a little worse, was definitely a veritable Platinum Realm powerhouse!

"No wonder, no wonder even the royal family is jealous, such a terrifying powerhouse, it seems that even the royal family doesn't have it, right?"

Taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but recall the few breaths of platinum realm he felt when he was in the palace, it was obvious that several people in the platinum realm of the royal family would not be the opponent of the super strong man of the Dongfang family, and it was no wonder that the royal family was afraid of the Dongfang family.

"It's not advisable to stay in the land of right and wrong for a long time, it's better to leave here first!!" For the sake of safety, he did not continue to stay, because he wanted to know that since the Oriental family had such a background, then the other three families would be the same.

The second target he chose was the Gongsun family, but the result was the same, this Gongsun family actually had two platinum realm powerhouses, one of which was the same as the old man of the Dongfang family, and he had also reached the level of the four elders of the True Martial Saint Academy, and even the aura was extremely similar.

And the next Lin family is the same, giving people the feeling that it is like being copied.

"The last one, the Nangong family, I don't know if this Nangong family is the same, or if there is a breakthrough." Finally, when he came to the mansion of the Nangong family, he couldn't help but faintly look forward to it in his heart.

The Nangong family gave him a slightly different feeling, he believed that among the four major families, if there was any family that was different, then it must be this Nangong family.

Thinking in his heart, his spiritual power was slowly released, and he went straight to the depths of the Nangong family's mansion.

The mansion of the Nangong family is deeper than the other three families, and all the way in, he found that the secret whistle of the Nangong family is stronger than the other three, and soon, his spiritual power is released into the depths of the Nangong family's mansion.

The overall structure of the four great families is similar, and he is familiar with this exploration, and soon, he found an underground secret room again.

"This is it, these super powerhouses of the great families are hiding in the depths of the secret room to cultivate, and I am afraid that they will rarely show up." Seeing this underground secret room, he groaned slightly, and then plunged his spiritual power into it.

"Shhh......... It's ............"

With the sweep of his spiritual power, the situation of the underground secret room of the Nangong family was also presented in front of him, but when he saw the number of platinum realm powerhouses in this underground secret room, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly collected his spiritual power.

"Good fellows, four? There are four powerhouses in the platinum realm of this Nangong family?! ”

During his spiritual power exploration, inside and outside the secret room of the Nangong family, there were actually four Platinum Realm powerhouses, three of them were inside the secret room, and one was outside the secret room, and the one outside the secret room was the one who went to the Qin Invincible Mansion with Nangong Ling not long ago to trade.

As for the three in the secret room, one of them is the level of the four elders of the Holy Courtyard, and the other is slightly inferior to the four elders, it is estimated that it is on par with him, and the last one is slightly weaker, and it should not take too long to advance to the platinum realm.

Obviously, this Nangong family's platinum realm powerhouse actually went from the Tribulation Realm to the Platinum Segment to the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, and there were all of them in each realm!

"It's amazing, it's really amazing, where is this a big family, this is simply a dynasty, even if it's the Great Qin Dynasty, I'm afraid it will be compared to this Nangong family!"

At this moment, he finally understood the essence of the four great families, but he really couldn't imagine how a small imperial city of the Great Qin Dynasty could have so many super families hidden in it, and it would definitely not be so simple.

This is the first time that Ji Dong has really explored the great forces of the imperial city, and I have to say that this discovery really shocked and unbelievable him.

The four major families, each of them has a Heavenly Tribulation Realm powerhouse, this kind of heritage is even deeper than the royal family of the Great Qin Dynasty, especially the Nangong family, this family actually has four platinum realm powerhouses, which is much more terrifying than the royal family.

At this point, he also understood why the Nangong family was able to take out a piece of water spirit crystal to trade with him so easily, thinking that with the background of the Nangong family, even if there was a better treasure, it was not uncommon at all.

"The four great families are so strong that it's no wonder that even the royal family is afraid of them, it's just that their background seems to be enough to affect the True Martial Saint Academy, right?!"

After investigating the situation of the four great families, Ji Dong couldn't help but think a lot in his heart.

There are so many Platinum Realm powerhouses of the four great families, it can completely affect the True Martial Saint Academy, after all, except for the dean Xun Wanshan and the two vice presidents of the True Martial Saint Academy, the rest of the strength is not much stronger than the four great families.

And behind the True Martial Saint Academy, there is the support of the sect, logically speaking, the existence of the four great families should not be allowed to appear, after all, the True Martial Saint Academy is the orthodoxy supported by the sect, how can it allow other forces to stir up the wind and rain?

"By the way, the True Martial Saint Academy must know about the existence of the four great families, and must also have some understanding of the strength of the four great families, I can go back to the Holy Courtyard to find someone to ask."

His eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized that as the true core of the Great Qin Dynasty, it was impossible for the True Martial Saint Academy not to know about the existence of the Four Great Families, after all, even the royal family of the Great Qin Dynasty was actually supported by the True Martial Saint Academy, and since the royal family knew the power of the Four Great Families, how could the True Martial Saint Academy not know about it?

Therefore, if he wanted to find out the situation of the four great families, he could actually go directly to the Holy Courtyard to find someone to ask.

The four old elders in the Holy Courtyard, he is also familiar with all of them, even if it is the vice president Feng Wudi, he can also speak, thinking that these people should be able to give him a little thin face and tell him about the affairs of the four great families.

However, the first person he thought of was the mysterious Hong Lao, he believed that as a person who even his master Xun Wanshan had to respect very much, Hong Lao should know the most in the True Martial Saint Academy.

"That's it, go and inquire with Elder Hong first, and if Elder Hong doesn't know, then go talk to the four elders." With a plan in his heart, he no longer hesitated, and went straight to the True Martial Saint Courtyard to rush back.

Back at the True Martial Saint Academy, he first glanced at the situation of Blood Mingyue from a distance, but found that Blood Mingyue had entered a state of retreat and cultivation at this time, seeing this, he did not bother the other party, but went straight to Hong Lao's small courtyard.

"Little guy, seeing that you are in a hurry, and you have a puzzled face, is there something you want to inquire about with the old man?"

Seeing Ji Dong coming, Hong Lao, who was sitting on the stone slab, couldn't help but smile slightly, and asked softly while motioning for Ji Dong to sit down.

"Elder Hong is Elder Hong, and he can see the intention of the disciple at a glance, and the disciple is convinced."

Nodding, Ji Dong's face flashed with a hint of respect, and at the same time arched his hand at Hong Lao.

"Hahaha, I've seen too many people and things in my life, and it's not a big deal." Hearing Ji Dong's compliment, Hong Lao Lang smiled, and then said, "Say, if there is anything you want to ask, just ask, the old man should know everything." ”

He had already told Ji Dong the secrets of the True Martial Saint Academy, and even the Qing Ying Sect behind the True Martial Saint Academy and the thirty-six major sects, and it seemed that there was really nothing that he couldn't tell Ji Dong, especially when he found that every time Ji Dong came, his strength was much more condensed than before, which showed that Ji Dong was now worthy of a heavy responsibility.

"I don't know if Elder Hong knows the four great families in the imperial city? It is the Nangong family, the Dongfang family, the Gongsun family and the Lin family. ”

Ji Dong did not hesitate, and directly asked the doubts in his heart as he spoke, and then closely watched Hong Lao's performance.

"Huh? Why did you suddenly ask about them? Why, are they embarrassing you? Hearing Ji Dong mention the four great families, Hong Lao's expression, which was still talking and laughing, changed suddenly, and his whole face suddenly became gloomy, and his body couldn't help but ripple with a terrifying momentum.

"This ............"

Ji Dong had been observing the changes in Hong Lao's expression, and when he heard Hong Lao's inquiry, especially when he saw that Hong Lao suddenly became so angry, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and immediately realized the problem here.

"Elder Hong, don't be impatient, they didn't embarrass the disciple, but the disciple recently heard that the four great families are very powerful, and it is said that there are powerful people in the platinum realm in the depths of their family, so they are a little curious about these four great families, so they came to ask Elder Hong."

Obviously, this matter will definitely not be too simple, otherwise, Hong Lao will definitely not have such a violent reaction.

"I see, I thought their people were embarrassed by you!" After listening to Ji Dong's answer, Hong Lao's breath eased slightly, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, it was obvious that he was worried about Ji Dong at the moment when he was right!

"It just so happened that you asked today, and the old man will tell you about these four major families, and you should pay more attention to it in the future." Nodding, Hong Lao's heart couldn't help but be a little happy, speaking of which, the matter of the four major families, they should have told Ji Dong a long time ago, but Xun Wanshan had something to do temporarily, and he ignored it a little.

"The rumors you have heard are true, these four great families do have Platinum Realm powerhouses in charge, and there is more than one, and the existence of the four great families is actually to monitor the True Martial Saint Academy."

Hong Lao's face was slightly emotional, as if he had fallen into some memories, and as he spoke, he told Ji Dong about it.

"What? Spy on the True Martial Saint Temple?! ”

Hearing this, Ji Dong's face suddenly changed, but his heart became more and more shocked. He also thought that the True Martial Saint Academy was the same in the Great Qin Dynasty, and no one could make the True Martial Saint Academy jealous, but now it seems that there is really something hidden that he doesn't know.

"That's right, it's just monitoring the True Martial Saint Academy, and it's not just surveillance, speaking of which, these four great families are strong, and they have their eyeliner in the major prefectures, whenever there is an unbelievable genius in the major prefectures and the imperial city, they will always secretly pull it into their own family forces, or even directly wipe it out, making it difficult for those geniuses to become disciples of the Holy Academy."

Hong Lao's face was not very good-looking, and as he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but show resentment, but there was a trace of helplessness.

"There is such a thing?!" Frowning tightly, Ji Dong was simply more and more shocked at this time, and he had been making trouble for a long time, these four great families still had such unknown secrets, which he had never dared to think of before.

After listening to Elder Hong's story, Ji Dong finally had a general understanding of the existence of the four great families.

It turned out that the so-called Four Great Families were simply the opponents of his master in the Qing Ming Sect, and they were deliberately arranged in the Great Qin Dynasty in order to monitor Xun Wanshan's every move and report Xun Wanshan's actions to the Qing Ming Sect.

Of course, these four great families still have a task, that is, not to let the True Martial Saint Academy get a real genius, lest Xun Wanshan rise strongly because of the genius sent to the sect.

According to what Hong Lao said, the Great Qin Dynasty did give birth to several good geniuses, but these geniuses were either taken by the four great families first, or secretly wiped out by the four great families, in short, these geniuses finally failed to join the True Martial Saint Academy.

It's a pity that although the True Martial Saint Academy is well aware of the existence of the four great families, it has no legitimate reason to make a move against the four great families, in addition, the four ancestors of the four great families are not to be underestimated, once they really make a move, the True Martial Saint Academy and the four great families will both lose, and the entire Great Qin Dynasty will be turned upside down, and the gains will outweigh the losses at that time.

According to Xun Wanshan's thoughts, as long as these four great families don't make any outrageous moves, then they will be left to their own devices for the time being, and they will be beaten from time to time, and there is no need to completely tear their faces with each other.

"I really can't imagine that there are still four such tumors in the imperial city."

After listening to Hong Lao's story, Ji Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, and the expression on his face kept changing, obviously, he really listened to what Hong Lao said today.

"Little guy, this matter should have been explained to you a long time ago, but Wan Shan was in a hurry, so he didn't have time to tell you, and the old man ignored it a little, fortunately you took the initiative to ask today, otherwise I don't know when I will let you know about this!"

Hong Lao was inevitably a little self-blaming at this time, speaking of which, when Xun Wanshan handed over Ji Dong to him to take care of before leaving, he obviously did not fulfill his responsibility.

Although he believed that the four great families would never dare to do anything to Ji Dong, those people would definitely secretly investigate Ji Dong, and then report Ji Dong's situation to the Qing Ying Sect, and whether the one in the Qing Ying Sect would take action or not, this is really not easy to say.

The principle of the four great families is that as long as they join the people of the True Martial Saint Academy, then they will definitely not act rashly, so as not to leave an excuse for the True Martial Saint Academy to make a move, but the powerful person in the Qing Ying Sect is monstrous, if they know Ji Dong's talent, they may really send someone to come to plot.

As soon as he thought of this, his heart became indescribably solemn.

"Elder Hong doesn't need to blame himself, speaking of which, this is not a big deal, I believe that no matter how presumptuous the four great families are, they will definitely not dare to do anything to their disciples, and now that the disciples know this, they will definitely be more careful in their actions in the future."

Looking at Hong Lao's uncertain expression, Ji Dong could guess the other party's thoughts, but he didn't have too much worry in his heart, after all, if anyone wanted to plot against him now, I am afraid it would not be so easy.

"Xiao'er, I know that your strength is already quite extraordinary, but you have to remember that Wanshan's rival is not simple, if he learns about your talent, he will definitely find a way to get rid of you, so you must remember that you must not let your talent be revealed, so as not to be noticed by others."

He had talked to Xun Wanshan about this matter before, and he knew that Xun Wanshan had repeatedly instructed Ji Dong, but when he thought of their opponent, he felt a little uncertain in his heart.

"Elder Hong, rest assured, the disciple's talent is only known to you and Shizun, and there will definitely be no third person who knows about it."

Ji Dong didn't want the other party to worry, so he dealt with it casually.

"That's good, in addition, before Wan Shan returns, it's better for you to go out as little as possible, no matter what, the inside of the True Martial Saint Courtyard is still very safe."

"The disciple understands, Hong Lao can rest assured, since the disciple knows these things, then he will be more and more careful in his actions in the future, even if he goes out to do business, he will definitely cover it up."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but wink at Hong Lao, as if he was hinting at something from the other party!

"Huh? Hahaha, okay, it's good to know it yourself. Seeing Ji Dong's eyes, Hong Lao was slightly stunned at first, and then suddenly came back to his senses and said with a long smile.

Of course he understood what Ji Dong was referring to, the so-called cover-up must be the mask he gave Ji Dong before, and he was still quite confident in that mask.

Speaking of which, when he gave Ji Dong his mask and breath collection technique, why didn't he do it out of safety considerations?

"By the way, Elder Hong, since these four great families are all other people's minions, then they have a leader?" With his eyebrows raised, Ji Dong suddenly thought that the strength of the four great families was not the same, but he didn't know if there was a difference.
