Howard seemed to have been brainwashed by Durant, and the words that Durán had just instigated him continued to sound in his head.

He sat in the car in a daze, and his driver saw that he was a little distracted, so he asked curiously, "Helmsman, are you okay?" ”

Huo Hua came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's okay, go back to the rudder." ”

After driving for about half an hour, the car arrived at the Hong' 'Gate' rudder.

The rudder was fifteen kilometers away from the main rudder, and Huo Hua walked into the rudder and walked up to a plump beautiful woman.

The beautiful 'woman' saw that Huo Hua was a little absent-minded, so she walked to Huo Hua's side, grabbed Huo Hua's arm, and said in a coquettish voice: "Brother Hua, what's wrong with you in the last few days, why are you so preoccupied?" ”

When Huo Hua heard the voice of the beautiful woman, he realized that his wife, Zhou Xiuyun, was already standing beside him, looking at him with concern.

He stared at Zhou Xiuyun a few times, and found that he had been married to Zhou Xiuyun for five years, but he never got tired of looking at each other, maybe Zhou Xiuyun was really beautiful, so he couldn't get tired of looking at it, whether it was the 'fine' facial features or the natural flattery, he was moved.

Five years ago, Zhou Xiuyun was chased and killed by the enemy, so that Howard bumped into him and saved him, although the two were more than ten years apart, but Zhou Xiuyun resolutely chose to marry Howard in order to repay Howard, in order to repay Howard's life-saving grace, after getting married, Zhou Xiuyun found that Howard's body was disabled, which made her both helpless and sympathetic to Howard's pity.

Although the two have been married for five years, Huo Hua has never been able to act as a husband and wife, just like having a delicious cake at home, looking at it makes him salivate for 'desire', but he can't eat it, which is also one of the important reasons why he wants to get a cultivation stone and reshape his body.

"Brother Hua?"

Zhou Xiuyun saw Huo Hua staring at him but didn't speak, so he couldn't help but remind him again.

"Oh, I'm fine......"

Huo Hua came back to his senses and smiled at Zhou Xiuyun.

Zhou Xiuyun said softly: "We have been married for so long, can't I still see that you have something in your heart?" Is something wrong? ”

Huo Hua heard Zhou Xiuyun say this, sighed softly, and said, "There are indeed some upsetting things, so I won't tell you, lest you worry with me." ”

"Brother Hua, do you still take me as your wife?"

Zhou Xiuyun frowned and looked at Huo Hua with some displeasure.

Seeing this, Huo Hua sighed, "I really want to know? ”

"I want to help you with your worries!" Zhou Xiuyun said solemnly.

Huo Hua nodded, pointed to his office on the second floor of the rudder, and said, "Go upstairs, I'll tell you slowly......"

Zhou Xiuyun nodded, the two went up to the office on the second floor together, closed the door of the room, and chatted for almost an hour, Zhou Xiuyun knew the ins and outs of the matter thoroughly, and saw that Huo Hua was gloomy, and said with a hesitant expression: "Why don't you go and beg the young man named Lin Tao and ask him to give you the cultivation stone, and we can 'spend' a lot of money to buy it." ”

Huo Hua shook his head and said: "How can things be as simple as you say, as a cultivator, money is almost regarded as dung, the cultivation stone can be described as a peerless treasure given by God, how can it be bought and sold with money, and it is impossible for him to sell the cultivation stone." ”

"Is there no other way?"

After Zhou Xiuyun learned that the cultivation stone could help Huo Hua reshape his body, he also hoped that Huo Hua could get the cultivation stone.

"There is no other way but to ......" Speaking of this, Howard's face 'revealed' a 'yin' and ruthless 'color'.

Zhou Xiuyun's charming face 'revealed' a look of surprise, "Could it be ...... Do you want to snatch? ”

"There is no other way than this way, so if I miss this opportunity, I will not be able to be like a normal person in my life!"

"Didn't you say that his cultivation is very high, and he was designated as the next 'Gate' Lord by the 'Gate' Lord, are you sure to snatch the cultivation stone from him?"

Huo Hua's face was complicated, and he said in a low tone: "Although I am not his opponent, I can find help!" ”

"Who?"

Huo Hua shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this matter for the time being, I'm still hesitating to cooperate with others." ”

Zhou Xiuyun heard the meaning of Huo Hua's words, and said worriedly: "If it can be resolved peacefully, try not to use force, or ......."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Huo Hua and said curtly, "Why don't I try it?" ”

"You?"

"Well, I want to try!"

Huo Hua shook his head and said, "It's useless, once that thing is in someone's hands, it's basically impossible to take it out again, what it means to cultivators, only cultivators know." ”

Zhou Xiuyun didn't want Huo Hua to be suspected, and said with a resolute expression: "You just need to help me introduce me, don't worry about the rest, I want to try my best, even if it doesn't work, we don't have anything to lose, right?" ”

Huo Hua saw that Zhou Xiuyun said this, and it was not good to refute Zhou Xiuyun's kindness all the time, so he nodded with a wry smile and said, "Okay, that kid has been practicing in retreat for the past few days, and when he is out of the customs, I will take you to meet him!" ”

When Zhou Xiuyun saw that Huo Hua agreed, a smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face, and that smile was like a blooming demon 'glamorous' rose, which made people's hearts moved......

……

At this time, Lin Tao was in retreat and cultivation in the treasure pavilion of Hong's 'Gate', there was a glittering cultivation stone beside him, and the energy bred in the cultivation stone was overflowing into Lin Tao's body one by one, and the three-day retreat cultivation was like going through thirty days, Lin Tao was already at the peak of the early stage of 'refining the Void Combination Dao' when he was in retreat, and he was only short of breaking through the bottleneck to break through to the mid-stage realm of the 'Refining the Void Harmony Dao' hole', no matter how much the impact can't break through. This time, with the help of the cultivation stone, Lin Tao felt that the bottleneck was no longer so difficult to break through, and on the first day of the retreat, he had actually broken through the bottleneck and entered the mid-stage cultivation of the 'Refining Void Combination Dao'.

However, thinking that this excellent state was not easy to come by, so Lin Tao would continue to retreat, and in three days, Lin Tao's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he broke through to the peak state of the middle stage of the 'Refining Void Combination Dao' in one breath, which was similar to the cultivation of Huo Xiangtian, the master of the Hong 'Gate' and 'Gate'.

As long as Lin Tao is willing, with the help of the cultivation stone, it is very likely that Lin Tao will directly break through the mid-stage cultivation and reach the late stage of the 'Refining Void Combination Dao', but considering that the cultivation is too rapid and not conducive to cultivating the Dao Heart, it is easy to follow the old path of the Hong 'Gate' ancestor, so when he cultivated to the peak state of the mid-stage of the 'Refining Void Combination Dao', Lin Tao stopped cultivating and began to consolidate his cultivation.

After another two days, Lin Tao completely absorbed the cultivation obtained from the cultivation stone, and turned it into a cultivation that he could control, and then he left the treasure pavilion of the Hong 'Gate'.

Inside the Hung 'Gate' chamber.

Huo Hua looked at Huo Xiangtian with a blank eye, and sighed: "'Gate' Lord, this Lin Tao has been in retreat for five days, when will he be able to get out?" ”

Huo Xiangtian frowned and shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific time, the longer he retreats, the better the effect of his cultivation, this retreat should have a breakthrough, the mid-stage master of the 'Refining Void Combination Dao' in his twenties, before I met him, I don't dare to think of this kind of demon!" ”

Huo Hua's heart was pantothenic, and he said strangely: "I don't see how good his talent is, but his luck is not ordinarily good." ”

Huo Xiangtian glanced at Huo Hua and said, "Everyone's success is not just achieved by luck, just by luck, can he become a master at the peak of the early stage of the 'Refining Void and Combining Dao'?" Luck is important, but talent is more important than luck, Huo Hua, I found that you have been very concerned about Lin Tao recently, you have come to ask Lin Tao for news every day in the past few days, have you not dispelled the idea of snatching his sleeve cultivation stone? ”

Huo Hua was caught by Huo Xiangtian's heart, his expression seemed a little weak, and he hurriedly said: "Big brother, you are too careful, where am I thinking about what cultivation stones, what are you...... Your brother and sister Xiuyun heard me talk about Lin Tao's deeds a few days ago, and they worship Lin Tao well, so they have to ask me to invite Lin Tao to our rudder as a guest, I can't resist her, so I'm not here to inquire about Lin Tao's news. ”

"That's it......" Huo Xiangtian listened to Huo Hua's explanation, and then he was relieved.

While the two were talking, Lin Tao suddenly laughed dryly, appeared at the big 'door' of the conference hall, looked at Huo Xiangtian and Huo Hua, and said playfully: "I seem to hear you talking about me?" ”

Huo Xiangtian looked at Lin Tao, his expression changed slightly, and he stared at Lin Tao carefully for a while, before he said in amazement: "Your cultivation has actually reached the peak realm of the middle stage of the 'Refining Void Combination Dao'?!" ”

"What?" Huo Hua listened to Huo Xiangtian's words and couldn't help but scream.

"Mr. Lin, this is not true, is it?" Huo Hua asked with a strange expression.

Lin Tao put his hands behind his back, smiled slightly, nodded and said, "What Master Huo 'Gate' said is right, my cultivation has indeed reached the middle stage of the 'Refining Void Combination Dao'. ”

Lin Tao didn't tell the two of them, in fact, in this retreat, he could actually directly break through to the late stage realm of the 'Refining Void Combination Dao' with the help of the cultivation stone, but he was afraid that the cultivation speed was too fast and he was afraid of the demons in his heart, so he stayed at the peak realm of the middle stage of the 'Refining Void Combination Dao'.

In Huaxia, the masters who can reach the peak realm of the middle stage of the 'Refining Void and Void Combination Dao' can count on two fingers, and Lin Tao is only in his twenties and has reached a height that many masters have been unable to reach in their lifetimes, which is indeed due to Lin Tao's special physique and good luck against the sky, of course, Lin Tao's comprehension ability of cultivation methods is also extremely high, otherwise it is impossible to memorize all the formulas and mental methods of 'Taiyi Xuangong' in just a few months.

"Lin Tao, you are really a cultivation wizard that has been rare in a hundred years!"

After Huo Xiangtian was surprised, he looked at Lin Tao and said with emotion, his expression was full of envy.

Lin Tao smiled modestly and waved his hand, and said: "Lord Huo's 'Gate' has praised it, I am just luckier than you, when it comes to talent, I may not be as high as you." ”

Huo Xiangtian rolled his eyes at Lin Tao, "Excessive modesty is hypocrisy, when I was as old as you, my cultivation was not one or two grades lower than you, hey, it's really more popular than people!" ”

Huo Hua looked at Lin Tao with a complicated expression on the side, his heart was mixed, seeing that Lin Tao's cultivation was even more unattainable, he was even more determined to take the cultivation stone from Lin Tao.
