Chapter 9 Neighbors

In fact, the Taishan faction occupies many hills, and there are also many industries and forces in the towns below the mountains and in the surrounding towns. If ordinary Elder Keqing joins in, he will often be sent to other mountains or some industries, which can give Elder Keqing some sweetness and let Elder Keqing get vested interests, so as to play a role in winning people's hearts.

However, Zhao Zheng's situation is more special, he has the heavy treasure of Zichu Sword on his body, if he is arranged in a too remote place, it is likely to attract outsiders to covet it. Therefore, in order to avoid this from happening, Zhao Zheng can only be arranged on top of the Jade Emperor, who is like a cloud.

In fact, if Zhao Zheng didn't have the Zichu Sword on his body, he would not be qualified to live at the top of the Jade Emperor, which was the place where the mainstay of the sect lived. He was able to live here unusually, which can be said to be stained with the light of Zichu's sword.

After passing through some houses and aisles, the two of them arrived at the door of a courtyard that was of a modest size enough for several people to live in, but not too big. There is a plaque hanging on the gate of the courtyard, on which are pasted three gold pieces of "Chaoyang Ju".

"Elder Zhao, this is your new home, I'll open the door for you to see, you see if you're satisfied, if not, I'll make another arrangement." Le Bu said and pushed the courtyard door open, the door was not padlocked, and the courtyard was cleaned, but judging from the residual traces on the corners, it should have been uninhabited for a long time, and it was temporarily cleaned.

"Chaoyang Ju ......" Zhao Zheng muttered, and suddenly remembered something in his mind, and an imperceptible gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, this is Chaoyang Residence, and there have been many masters in the door who lived here before. Your nickname is Xu Yue Chusheng, and I feel that it matches the name Chaoyangju, so I will give you this courtyard. Come with me into the courtyard and have a look. If you have any needs or dissatisfactions, you can just mention them, and I will try to meet them. "I don't know how to be kind.

Zhao Zheng nodded, and walked into the courtyard side by side with Le Zhizhi, and at the moment of crossing the threshold, he glanced to the side intentionally or unintentionally.

On the left-hand side of Chaoyangju, there is another courtyard with a denomination on it, and the words "Leng Xiangju" are written. From that courtyard, there were faint bursts of medicinal incense.

The reason why he was a little excited just now was not because of this Chaoyang Residence, but because of the cold incense residence next to Chaoyang Residence.

"Looks like I've got an extra neighbor." Thinking so in his heart, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze.

Chaoyang Junei adds the main house, partial house, and firewood house together, with a total of nine rooms, and there are many bedrooms in the larger house. Zhao Zheng and Jian Nu and others lived here, which was more than enough.

Le Bu led Zhao Zheng around the courtyard a few times, and asked Zhao Zheng what else he needed, and even planned to provide Zhao Zheng with two little disciples as servants.

There are many people and troubles, Zhao Zheng felt that it was enough for him to have a smiling ghost and a human butcher to help him take care of the yard, so he politely refused Le Bu's proposal and did not accept any more servants.

Zhao Zheng was very satisfied with this courtyard and did not find any faults. Le Bu handed him the key to the house, and then left. He locked the door, ran an errand, brought the sword slave and the two older attendants to this new residence, moved the luggage and the things to use, and settled in this Chaoyang residence.

After moving, even if the dust settles, in a short period of time, Zhao Zheng no longer has to worry about other trivial matters, and can settle down to cultivate.

Everything is inferior, only cultivation is high.

Only cultivation is the most realistic, and every effort is harvested. During this period of hurrying, Zhao Zheng never got the opportunity to cultivate, and he delayed a lot of things, but now he can finally devote himself to the great cause of cultivation again.

That night, he closed the doors and windows, sat alone in the bedroom, sat upright on the bed, and began his long-awaited cultivation. He put a piece of silver shining black ironwood in front of him, aimed his fingertips at the black ironwood, and used his internal force to absorb the essence of the wood contained in the black ironwood, and transported it to the dantian to absorb it.

The process of absorbing wood yuan is the same as absorbing gold yuan, first absorbing, then grinding, and finally refining into its own internal force.

He worked tirelessly to cultivate for most of the night, and with a little progress, he absorbed a certain amount of Mu Yuan, refining a trace of Mu Yuan's internal force. Since then, there have been as many as three kinds of internal forces in his body. These three internal forces have their own merits, especially the latter two, which have special effects that ordinary internal forces do not have.

Jin Yuan is the sharpest, able to prolong the sword qi and increase the lethality of the sword qi. Muyuan is a vibrant internal force, and when it is in operation, it can repair internal injuries and speed up wound healing.

As for the other internal forces in the five elements, there are also some special effects.

The internal force of the water element is the most soft and cold, and it can release the dark energy of hurting people without knowing it. The internal force of the fire element is as hot as a flame, and it can spark the prairie and burn the world. The internal force of Tuyuan is the strongest, and after it is put into operation, it can play a protective role close to that of the iron cloth shirt.

Ordinary internal strength and mental methods can often only cultivate one or two special internal forces, but the Nine Veins and Six Yuan Sutras can cultivate as many as six internal forces at the same time, integrating all internal forces into one!

The more special internal force you have, the more capital you have, and this advantage will become more and more prominent as the realm of a martial artist who cultivates the Nine Veins and Six Yuan Sutras improves. If you can absorb a variety of spirit elements and integrate them, you can even use a variety of special internal forces at the same time.

With one hand at hand with the flames and the other with the cold water, the body gives birth to the vitality of the wood element, and the outside body uses the earth element to protect it, fighting in this posture, how many warriors in the world can be opposed?

Of the six internal forces, Zhao Zheng now has three, and he is not far from that beautiful ultimate goal, and the future can be said to be bright.

In the following days, Zhao Zheng cultivated hard every day, and if he had some time to spare, he would walk around in the Taishan sect, visit the masters in the sect, and deepen his relationship with these people. This time passed very peacefully, and there were no more waves.

After a whole month, Zhao Zheng was no longer willing to live this peaceful life, and decided to implement some plans that he had thought about a long time ago, some of these plans were short-term plans, some were long-term plans, some could be completed by reading, and some needed to interact with others.

The first plan he had to implement was to visit his neighbor, whom he had never met. He was the first to do this, which shows the importance of this matter.

It would be rude to visit a stranger for the first time empty-handed. Before he went, he prepared a thin gift, picked up his pen, and wrote down three prescriptions, which he put in his sleeve properly. With this thin gift, he had a lot of confidence, and he walked all the way to the door of Leng Xiangju and knocked on the courtyard door.

There was a quick response from inside the door, and the courtyard door opened, revealing a girl's brain. This girl is only ten years old, she looks pink and jade, white and red, and her big eyes are watery, revealing a child's unique agility.

"Isn't this the new Elder Zhao, which fragrant wind blew you here?" The girl asked in a crisp voice.

"I'm here to find your master today, and I hope you can help inform me that Zhao Zheng is asking to see me." Zhao Zhengdao.

"What's the matter with your old man?"

"There are some big things, but it's inconvenient to reveal them to you, so I can only tell her in person."

"That's not good, you don't know, my master is the hall master of the Rejuvenation Hall, and he has to be busy refining pills every day, plus treating the big people in the door, so he can't spare time to meet idlers at all. If you don't tell her something, I can't tell you about it. This is the rule set by my master, and I, as a boy, can only obediently follow it, and I hope that Elder Zhao will not embarrass me. The girl shook her head.

Similar to this kind of soft nail, Zhao Zheng has touched several times in these days, although everyone lives on the same mountain, but it is not so easy to meet those big people, and it is not possible to do without a good reason.

Fortunately, he had been well prepared before he came, and he easily coped with the situation, and he reached into his bosom unhurriedly, and took out the thin gift, leaving two pages of the prescription, and handed the rest to the girl.

"Elder Zhao, what do you mean by this?" The girl looked at the complicated prescription in her hand and wondered.

"That's why I visited Master Ling, if you show this prescription to your master, she will naturally agree to see me." Zhao Zheng said and put his hand into his sleeve again, this time he took out a yellow gold ingot, money can make ghosts grind, this thing is very useful many times. He stuffed the gold ingots to the girl, squeezed his eyes, and said, "This little money is an errand fee, you can keep it to buy candy to eat." ”

"I don't dare to ask for this money, if I let Master know, I will have to screw my ears off." The girl shook her head into a rattle, pushed the gold ingots back, and said, "The prescription you gave me can be regarded as a prayer post, and I will go for you, and you can wait here for a while, and I will go back." ”

"There's a fairy child." Zhao Zheng took back the gold ingots and said politely.

The girl retracted her head and closed the courtyard door, keeping Zhao Zheng out. She ran to the door of an alchemy room, but she didn't dare to enter, so she stood at the door and told her what had just happened.

Although the people in the alchemy room are very high-level and have the ability to be deaf and clear-sighted, she is very attentive when refining medicine, her ears do not listen to things outside the window, and she never deliberately listens to the wind and grass around the courtyard. If there are any big or small things in Ping, they all have to rely on a few of her disciples to report.

After listening to the girl's story, the people in the alchemy room didn't take it too seriously, and asked the girl to temporarily put the prescription on a table outside the alchemy room, claiming that she would wait until she had time to see what kind of prescription it was.

The girl obediently agreed, put the prescription presented by Zhao Zheng on the table, and pressed a teacup on it to avoid being blown away by the wind. She did her duty, and ran back to the gate of the courtyard in a puff of smoke.

Zhao Zheng saw that the girl showed her head again, and hurriedly asked about the result, but got a discouraging answer.

"My master has already accepted the prescription, but I can't spare time to read it carefully for the time being, let you go back first and wait for news, if she really wants to see you, she will send someone to your house to invite you, anyway, our two courtyards are close to each other, which is a few steps away."

Zhao Zheng thought that the prescription would play a great role, allowing him to see this neighbor at once, but he didn't expect such a result. He sighed and nodded, "Okay." Your master and apprentice affairs are busy, so I won't bother, so I'll go home and wait for good news. ”

The girl said goodbye again and closed the door firmly.

……

It wasn't until the branches on the moon that Yu Ling'er ended the day's alchemy work and used her palm wind to extinguish the flames at the bottom of the alchemy furnace. She had been busy all day, and she had already missed lunch and dinner, and she had not touched a grain of rice. If it weren't for the help of the Stomach Pill, she would be so hungry that her chest would be pressed against her back by now.

She spent the whole day refining forty-two pills, each of which had miraculous effects, some of which could assist in practice, some could restore internal strength, and some could regulate internal injuries. She refined so many pills, firstly because she was keen on this way, and secondly, because there was a great demand for these pills in the Taishan Sect, and she had always been in a tight state of supply. As the hall master of the Rejuvenation Hall, she has the responsibility to refine many pills for the sect.

Relying on her alchemy skills, she got the reputation of "Jade Hands Guanyin". The elixir she refined helped many people up and down the Taishan faction, and these people were grateful and loved her, so her prestige in the Taishan faction was very high, almost second only to the Three Musketeers of Taishan.

She is the apprentice of the chief manager of the faction, Le Bubu, and has obtained the true inheritance of Le Bubu, and has learned a superb martial arts and alchemy skills.

Le Bu's nickname is the Wonderful Hands and Benevolence Man, and the reason why he is called this nickname is because he is good at refining pills. Yu Ling'er is better than the blue, and her skills in alchemy are even higher than those of the master.

Yu Ling'er put all the pills she had refined today into a small bamboo basket, walked out of the alchemy room with the bamboo basket, and arrived at a hall. Just as she turned the corner to walk out of the hall, she stumbled upon a piece of paper on the table, on which there seemed to be many words written on it.

"Where's the paper?" Yu Ling'er frowned slightly, and she forgot about this piece of paper, which is the so-called noble person who forgot things.

She walked to the table, pulled the paper out of the bottom of the teacup, put it in her hand and looked at it, and found that it was not an ordinary piece of paper, but a prescription with the names of many medicinal herbs written on it.

At the top of the prescription, there are three big characters written "Jade Muscle Ointment".

When Yu Ling'er saw these three big characters, her delicate body was shaken, her eyes suddenly lit up, and the bamboo basket she was carrying in her hand almost fell to the ground. She took the prescription in front of her, carefully read it three times, and judged the authenticity with her years of experience in alchemy, and felt that this prescription was very reliable, very much like the truth.

She became more excited, her eyes brightened, and the corners of her mouth were rarely hooked into a smile. She put down the prescription, looked around for a moment, and seeing that there was no one on the left and right, she rolled up the sleeve on her left arm, revealing her arm. Her skin was fair and well maintained, but there was an ugly burn scar on her arm, which ruined the beauty of the whole arm. This burn scar was accidentally injured by her during alchemy before, and she has not been able to get rid of it so far. And the "jade skin cream" recorded in this prescription is the best panacea for removing scars on the rivers and lakes!

She had long wanted to use the "Jade Muscle Cream" to get rid of the scars on her arms, but she had never been able to do so, because this kind of plaster was very rare and had long been lost. She had been collecting the prescription for this plaster for a long time, but she had never been able to collect it.

She really responded to that sentence, she had the intention to plant flowers and flowers but not bloom, and she had no intention of planting willows and willows, she worked hard to find the prescription of "Jade Muscle Ointment", but she didn't find it for so many years, but today this prescription automatically appeared on her table!

"Weird, where the hell did this prescription come from?" Yu Ling'er looked at the prescription in her hand, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed and remembered the events of the day, "By the way, this prescription was sent by that Zhao Zheng!" ”

……

Zhao Zheng is training the two old followers to practice martial arts at the moment, and it was the two who taught him martial arts back then, and now feng shui is taking turns, and it is his turn to teach those two to practice. Things in the world are always so wonderful.

"Brother Ren, your 'disemboweling' move is a little higher, it should be a little lower. Martial arts moves should be learned and used according to the physical characteristics of the opponent, and they cannot be rigidly copied, this move 'disemboweling and breaking the belly' should be aimed at the stomach, I just lowered my body, you should make the knife a little lower, and you can no longer perform it as you usually do when practicing alone. In addition, there is also a problem with your move 'Separation of Flesh and Bone', you should be a little more slippery when you make it, your knife is too hard......" Zhao Zheng used his sword to fight with the human butcher, pointing out the deficiencies in the human butcher's move while fighting. When he made a move, he released water, but he didn't use all his strength, and when he took out the sword, there was no sword energy on the sword at all.

Although Zi Chujian is belligerent, he is very picky about his opponents, and he is only willing to fight with masters, and he is unwilling to deal with a half-hearted person like Ren Tuzi, thinking that it is embarrassing to fight with someone of the level of Ren Tuzi. It complained several times about this, but all of them were dismissed by Zhao Zheng.

The human butcher was sweating profusely, and while learning from Zhao Zheng's lessons, he tried to correct these mistakes, but with little success. People of his age have already set every move, and they lack a spiritual surname, so it is difficult to change.

Not far away, Wang Er was also practicing hard, but he was not practicing martial arts moves, but meditating cross-legged. He had just taken the Tiger Bone Pill provided by Zhao Zheng, and his practice speed had increased a cut compared to usual, and the improvement was very obvious.

"Zhao Zheng, the effect of the elixir you gave me is too good, I am cultivating much faster than usual today, what is the name of this elixir?" Wang Er finished his cultivation and opened his eyes and said excitedly.

"You don't care what the pill is called, just eat it." Zhao Zhengtou replied without looking back, still burying his head in learning from others.

Wang Er didn't ask any more questions, closed his eyes, and continued to cultivate. The Tiger Bone Pill he ate was only effective for martial artists below the Fifth Heaven, and now he was only a Dual Heaven Martial Artist, and it was just right to eat it, but it was completely useless for Zhao Zheng.

Since Zhao Zheng arrived in the Fifth Heaven, he no longer took the Tiger Bone Pill, and he had some left in his hand. He planned to leave all these Tiger Bone Pills for Wang Er and the two of them to eat, so that these two eldest brothers could improve their cultivation as soon as possible, even if they could advance to the Triple Heaven.

For Zhao Zheng, what he needed now was another elixir to assist in his practice, but unfortunately he only knew the prescription of this elixir, but he didn't know the specific refining method. That's why he took the initiative to find Yu Ling'er, the hall master of the Rejuvenation Hall, and planned to ask Yu Ling'er for advice, but he hit a soft nail and didn't even see the face of others.

When Zhao Zheng thought of this, he smiled bitterly in his heart.

At this moment, the courtyard door of Chaoyangju was suddenly knocked on, and the knock was not loud, revealing a sense of respect.

Zhao Zheng withdrew his hand in time, and jumped out of the circle with a false move, intending to see who was knocking on the door. He was about to take a step when the human butcher walked to the door first.

During this period, Wang Er and Ren Qianqiu have always adhered to their duties as followers, and they did not hold up the eldest brother's shelf, and they rushed to do any work in the yard. Zhao Zheng provided the two of them with precious pills and a lot of silver, and also instructed the two of them to practice, and it was also their duty to do some chores.

Ren Qianqiu shouted twice, opened the courtyard door, looked left and right, found that there was no one, looked down, and found that there was a little girl standing outside.

"Little girl, what are you doing here?" Ren Qianqiu asked.

"I was ordered by the master to invite Elder Zhao to go to Leng Xiangju for a visit, and the family master wants to meet Elder Zhao." The girl said in a milky voice.

Zhao Zheng was standing in the courtyard, he could see and hear clearly, and when he heard that Yu Ling'er wanted to see him, he hurriedly walked up. He patted Ren Qianqiu on the shoulder, let Ren Qianqiu step aside, and he himself approached the girl and asked, "Did the commander agree to see me?" ”

"Yes, she seems to have wanted to see you last night, but it was too late and inconvenient, so she put it off until today." The girl blinked wide, "Your poster really works." ”

"My prayers have always worked." Zhao Zheng smiled, "You please go back first, I'll pack up, and then I'll go to see the commander." ”

"Okay, then I'll go first." The girl shook off her short legs and ran back to Leng Xiangju with a smoke.

Zhao Zheng actually didn't have anything to clean up, so he stuffed the other two useful prescriptions into his sleeve and explained a few words to the two followers. After he finished explaining, he hurried out to Leng Xiangju without delaying for a moment.

After Zhao Zheng left, Wang Er pushed Ren Qianqiu's shoulder and said, "Zhao Zheng, this kid is going to have good eyes." ”

"What do you mean by that?" The human butcher fiddled with the big kitchen knife in his hand and asked with a frown.

"I've heard people say a long time ago that there are two beauties in this Taishan faction, one of them is Fang Xiaorou, the wife of the old bad man, and the other is Yu Ling'er, the owner of Leng Xiangju. Zhao Zheng ran to see Yu Ling'er, so naturally he was going to have a good eye. I don't know what this Yu Ling'er looks like, and how it compares to our shopkeeper. Wang Er explained.

"Our shopkeeper is the most beautiful woman in the world, no one can compare!" The human butcher looked at Wang Er and said.

Wang Er raised his hand and nodded at the butcher, and said with a joke: "You kid is really ashamed, you don't dare to say this kind of thing to the shopkeeper in person, and you specially pick her up behind your back to praise her, even if you say it now, what's the use, she can't hear a word at all." ”

"You know the." The human butcher scolded angrily, no longer paid attention to Wang Er, and practiced the unique art of solving the knife by himself. (To be continued.) )
