In my impression, Liu Zhou likes to wear inky black robes very much. Liu Yang guessed that perhaps it was because the eldest uncle liked calligraphy that he was afraid of ink splashing on his clothes, so the straw wore inky black clothes.

Looking at Liu Zhou's resolute face, it is very similar to Liu Yu. Although the cousin is slightly chubby, his eyebrows are very thick, which is indeed inherited from Liu Zhou's appearance.

Liu Zhou is seven or eight years older than his father Liu Chang. Liu Yang has heard some of the previous deeds of this uncle. When he was young, he walked outside and left a lot of fame in the entire Middle-earth continent.

In the turmoil thirty years ago, Liu Zhou's performance can be described as brilliant. At a young age, he performed in that cruel battle to amaze the world, defeating several elders of the Dingtian Sect alone, and later became the most outstanding young powerhouse in the Eight Great Families.

If he hadn't been plotted by others, he would definitely become a powerhouse even brighter than Liu Chang now.

"How do I write?"

Liu Zhou picked up the rice paper in his hand, and the words "calm as water" jumped on the paper, and the pen walked neatly with dragon and snake handwriting, which was obviously the demeanor of a famous teacher.

"These four words were given to me by my father, your grandfather, and he left a message for me and your father before he died. ”

He didn't pay attention to the reaction, maybe he just regarded Liu Yang as a confidant. His hair was neatly combed, but the whiteness of his temples was already very noticeable.

As the realm of a cultivator is profound, the vitality in his body is endless. Not to mention the fifty-year-old Liu Zhou, even a person who is 100 years old can maintain the appearance of a young man. Although Liu Zhou is disabled, his internal cultivation is still there. One can imagine what kind of experience he has endured over the years.

Liu Yang has heard that Liu Zhou was criticized and even slandered by many people after he became a wasted person. Because of this, he locked himself in this remote attic, and if it wasn't for the big movement of the Demon Sect last time, he wouldn't have easily stepped out of the Liu Mansion.

"These four words, the eldest uncle wants to give you today. Liu Zhou raised his head, and his eyes fell calmly on Liu Yang.

He couldn't get up, sat on a chair with rice paper, and looked at Liu Yang like a statue. The calm and deep gaze makes people feel a heavy sense of vicissitudes.

Liu Yang took the rice paper, but it was just a thin piece of paper, but it made him feel heavy. It's like a big mountain, making your hands crumble.

"Come here today, are you looking for Liu Yu?" Liu Zhou sighed in his tone, as if he was a few years old. He waved his hand and motioned, "He's inside, you can go in and have a look." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yang nodded.

He slowly walked around the hall, where there was a room. There is no excessive arrangement, it seems very simple and unpretentious.

Liu Yang paused, and his eyes fell on the figure lying on the bed. His eyebrows were thick, his face was pale, and his lips were an unusual dark blue. The originally obese body was covered with bloody gauze, and the breath in the body was very weak, like a candle flame in the wind that would be extinguished at any time.

"Six days ago, he was like this. Liu Zhou came in with the help of Jia Ding, and he sat on the chair in the room with great difficulty, and his expression was very lonely.

Looking at Liu Yang, he sighed and said, "I told people to lock him up, I just didn't want people to know about his situation." ”

"Uncle, who is it?"

Liu Yang's voice was a little low, Liu Yu was his cousin, and he had helped him a lot several times. Although they are a little idle, the two have quite close personalities.

As if knowing that Liu Yang would have such a problem, Liu Zhou paused, but said: "Don't blame others, he created his own sin in Chunhua Building and was jealous of others, not only spent hundreds of thousands of taels of gold coins, but in the end, not only did he get the woman he liked, but also made people secretly like this." ”

"Chunhua Building?"

Liu Yang's eyes condensed slightly, remembering the first two times Liu Yu asked him to borrow money, and he had already guessed a rough idea in his heart. He said in a deep voice, "Is it clear?"

"How not to check. Liu Zhou's face was cold at first, and then he regained his calm. His lips moved, and he didn't speak.

Liu Yang noticed that the eldest uncle had a strong personality, and his parents and children were injured like this, but he could only endure it, naturally the other party's background was too terrifying.

The people of the other eight great families did not dare to make such a heavy move because of the reputation of the Liu Mansion, so there was only one possibility left.

Thinking of this, Liu Yang's face also changed slightly. He spoke, "People from the palace?"

Seeing that Liu Zhou didn't answer, his eyes flickered and he didn't say anything in the end. The Eight Great Families seem to be beautiful, but only for others. In the face of the imperial family, no matter how much the Liu family is the strongest Zhao family.

Moreover, if he dares to hurt Liu Yu so badly without fear of identity, he must be a person with a noble status in the palace.

"Two days ago, someone from the palace made amends. I don't want to pursue this matter, it's to blame this kid for not being as good as others. ”

"But ......"

"No, but. ”

Saying this, Liu Zhou laughed slowly. But there was only helplessness in his smile, he looked out the window, his eyes seemed to have seen through the vast sky, and there was an ethereal expression in his voice, and he said: "Liu Yang, the current Liu Mansion is like a small boat in the sea, it can't withstand much waves, let alone provoke such storms and waves as the emperor." ”

Without waiting for Liu Yang to react, he continued to say slowly: "Do you know how long your father's retreat will last?"

"Retreat?"

Liu Yang frowned slightly, not knowing how the eldest uncle would mention this matter. After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and asked, "Isn't it an ordinary retreat cultivation?"

Liu Zhou shook his head and said softly: "At his current level, ordinary retreat is no longer helpful, this time he is closed to life and death. Once out of the customs, it is a successful breakthrough, if it is the opposite......"

He didn't continue, but Liu Yang was already able to understand the meaning. Cultivation is to go against the sky, and if you want to be stronger, you naturally have to go through a lot of risks, not to mention a person like Liu Chang who stands at the pinnacle. Every step forward needs to be careful, and one wrong step is doomed.

"And the clan Dabi is coming soon, this time you have to stabilize the identity of the heir no matter what. After Liu Zhou groaned, he continued: "I know a little bit about you, Qiao'er is a woman after all, but she has a big responsibility, and in the end you need to rely on yourself." ”

"Thank you Uncle for reminding me, I will definitely do my best. ”

"It's not about trying, it's about giving it all in. Speaking of this, Liu Zhou glanced at him lightly, and continued to say in a deep voice: "During this time, Liu Batian visited the Zhao family, the Li family and other other families, and the ambitions of the side family have been very obvious. ”

Moreover, he had already sent his grandson Liu Haotian to the Martial Arts Pagoda to cultivate a long time ago. ”

"Martial Arts Tower?"

Hearing this, Liu Yang's eyes were a little surprised. He seemed to have heard of this place, but for a moment he couldn't remember it.

"My Liu Mansion has a profound heritage since its establishment, and the ancestors of the past dynasties have not only left powerful cultivation techniques, but also have many means to cultivate young people, and the Martial Arts Tower is one of them. ”

"There is the high-level energy of the ancestors of Liu Fu after refining inside, if an ordinary cultivator can cultivate in it, he can withstand a month of penance in one day, but if he wants to enter it, he needs to pay a great price. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zhou's eyes were quite calm, and he added: "After half a month, according to Liu Haotian's talent, I am afraid that even if he does not become a demon-level figure, it is almost the same." ”

Liu Yang's heart was a little heavy, he originally thought that according to his current strength, he could be regarded as an advanced speed, but he didn't expect that there was such a means in Liu's mansion. Liu Haotian's talent was originally at the genius level, although he lost to Feng Dao at Li Qianqian's banquet last time, his own strength was very strong. I'm afraid that after being silent for such a long time, it will definitely be a blockbuster when I wait until the clan is big.

Although his current strength is good, according to the judgment, he can use all means to compete with the demon-level powerhouse, and whether he can defeat the other party still depends on the specific strength.

"Uncle, don't worry, I won't let the people on the side have any chance. Liu Yang took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

These days, he was concentrating on cultivation or sneaking out of the mansion, and he didn't pay attention to much news in the mansion at all. Listening to Liu Zhou's words today, I realized that the situation in Liu's mansion was even more unoptimistic than I imagined. Father Liu Chang does not know the life and death of the retreat, and Liu Batian and many other clan elders of the side clan secretly Chen Cang, if the clan compares to him and loses the identity of the heir, then it will immediately usher in a stormy suppression of the side clansmen.

At that time, the huge foundation of the Liu Mansion may change hands directly.

"I hope so. ”

The worry on Liu Zhou's face did not decrease, but became heavier. He looked out the window, his gaze getting deeper.

At noon, Liu Qiaoer also returned. She worships under a strong man, so she is rarely in the house on weekdays.

"Liu Yang hasn't seen him for a few days, has his cultivation improved a lot?" Liu Qiao'er wore a ponytail, and she wore a close-fitting skirt, which set off her delicate figure.

This cousin has become more and more beautiful with age, she is different from ordinary women, and she looks very heroic.

"It's not as good as Sister Qiao'er, I don't know when I can catch up with you with this little cultivation. Liu Yang smiled, and respected this cousin very much in his heart. Although she is a woman, she has a clean and bold style like her uncle.

"Have you seen my brother?"

"I just saw it. ”

"He ......" Liu Qiao'er shook her head, obviously not wanting to say anything more in this regard. After a pause, she looked at Liu Yang and asked seriously, "There will be a big competition within the clan soon, are you sure?"

"I don't know, I don't know. ”

"My dad told you about Liu Haotian, right?"

Seeing Liu Yang nodding, Liu Qiao'er's eyes condensed slightly, and she said softly: "In addition to Liu Haotian this time, there are also several masters in the side department, you should also pay attention to it, there are individual characters whose cultivation qualifications are not much worse than the former." ”

"Thank you Sister Qiao'er for reminding me. ”

The two chatted about it until noon, and Liu Yang stayed here to have dinner with the two father and daughter before returning to his residence.

Back in the room, Liu Yang looked a little anxious.

After a while, he called Liu Si and instructed, "You go out of the mansion to find Qi Yan, give him this thing, and let me know as soon as there is news." ”

So saying, he handed a letter to the former.

In fact, the content of the letter was not a big deal, mainly because Liu Yang wanted to get a prescription for Ning Yuan Dan. The material of this elixir refining is very rare, but the effect is very huge, and it can promote the growth of its own true yuan in a short time.

And the most important thing is that the refining method is relatively simple, which is very suitable for him to refine now.

Now relying on his own cultivation alone, I'm afraid it will take a few months for him to advance to the middle stage of the third realm, which is already very fast, but I am afraid it is a bit surprising to win the first place in the clan competition.

For the sake of insurance, Liu Yang must strive to maximize his cultivation in a short period of time.

Moreover, during this time, he had learned all the several alchemy methods that Yi Xuan had explained, and now refining this kind of elixir to increase cultivation is even more suitable, which can not only increase alchemy experience, but also improve cultivation, killing two birds with one stone.

There is only half a month left before the time of the big competition in the clan, and the Liu Mansion is calm. But those who have a heart will find that during this time, the Liu people on the side will go out of the house from time to time to do things, and they frequently make small moves.

Time passed little by little, and finally it was the day of the big competition within the Liu Fu clan!

In the room, a tall figure stood in front of the Dan Furnace, his expression calm but his eyes flashed with essence. He was none other than Liu Yang, who had been hiding in the room for a long time to make alchemy.

For such a long time, he has not only refined and taken a large number of Ning Yuan Pills, but also successfully refined several other different pills, although the grade is not high, but relying on the quantity, he has also made a lot of progress in his own strength.

"Who's going to laugh at the end. Liu Yang smiled, pushed open the door and walked out.
