Chapter Twenty-Seven: What is the Great Thing?
Putting away all the doubts in his heart, Zhou Lin shook his head, he must be careful and careful in doing things in the future, otherwise he would not suffer such a loss today.
With Su Wen and the rest of the people of the Great Sword Gate, they were covered in blood and naturally aroused the vigilance of the soldiers defending the city, but after a closer look, it was actually Su Wen, the hall master of the Great Sword Gate, who naturally consciously let go of the passage into the city.
After placing Su Wen and the others in the Great Sword Gate, and instructing him to carefully search for all the information about the junior who discovered the cave mansion, Zhou Lin randomly called a hornebeest on the avenue, and returned to the Tongsheng Commercial House.
Back in the room, Zhou Lin took a closer look at his hands and found that after the initial training of body refining, not only the wounds on his hands had solidified, but there were even slight signs of scarring, and it was obvious that his self-healing ability had also improved a lot.
The Nameless Refining Body Determination is divided into ten layers, Zhou Lin can only be regarded as the first layer now, if he wants to break through the first layer and cultivate to the second layer, what he lacks now is the power of fire or earth and water.
The scorching breath generally only appears in the crater, and there must be a spiritual vein under the volcano, the better the quality of the spiritual vein, but the hot breath is thick, but within a radius of a few hundred miles from this Wangyuan City, Zhou Lin has never heard of the existence of a volcano.
As for the power of earth and water, it is the innate energy that can only be found in the demon beasts in the sea, and where is there any sea here, I can only put this matter on the back of my mind for the time being.
However, to Zhou Lin's surprise, he felt that he might soon have signs of breaking through the first layer of the Qi Building Layer, because when the whole body was full of Yuan Force, Zhou Lin actually found that he could still absorb more Yuan Qi under his gritted teeth and persistence!
This meant that the cultivation method of the first layer of the Qi Building Layer was no longer enough to satisfy himself, and immediately Zhou Lin announced to Tongsheng Commercial Bank that he was about to retreat in the Alchemy Workshop, and Tongsheng Commercial Bank only needed to send the monthly elixir materials into the Alchemy Workshop according to the regulations.
As for the retreat, naturally there is no way to give them the trading house alchemy, Zhou Lin promised that after the retreat, he will repay all the pills, and some powerful figures in the original trading house have some slight comments about this, after all, when you don't refine the pill, how can you continue to send resources back to you every month.
However, under the willingness of Guo Ling, the righteous Allah of the business house, the share of the elixir every month was still sent into the alchemy room.
However, during Zhou Lin's retreat, a lot of things happened in Wangyuan City, after Su Wenxiu completely recovered, he naturally began to investigate the matter, and he was able to sit in the position of the hall master, and he naturally had the ability, but unfortunately under the Great Cha Te Cha, the news about this kid was still like that, just entering the Great Sword Gate through a normal interview, without the slightest abnormality.
The Great Sword Gate died four Qi Formation Layers at once, which is definitely a big deal for a branch sect, after all, the role of the branch in Wangyuan City is only to set up a stronghold to recruit disciples of the sect, not a place for the sect to be stationed here.
Not only was Su Wen removed from the position of hall master, but even the sect master was replaced by a cultivator at the peak of the ninth layer of the qi building layer, and the original sect master became the deputy sect master, but the problem of manpower under the sect was not well supplemented, after all, Wangyuan City was located in Taixi, and no one wanted to come to this shabby place.
Among them, it is worth mentioning that the newly appointed head of the branch seems to have a particularly hostile attitude towards the Li family in Xicheng, because on the day of the accident, the then owner was invited by the Li family to the restaurant to talk about things, so he thought that this matter was inseparable from the Li family, but the answer given by the Li family was that they had been talking for six days before the restaurant talked, and the accident that day had nothing to do with the Li family.
At the same time, it is basically a few days after the accident, it is said that in the nearby city, a relative and nephew of Wu Quan, the city lord of Black Wind City, died of illness, but I heard that Wu Quan has been very optimistic about this nephew since he was a child, so not only did he put the funeral of this junior in his own city, but the city lord Wu Quan cried at the funeral and cried earth-shatteringly, many people think that although Wu Quan acted roughly, he loved his young descendants very much······
A month later.
"Squeak!"
A palatial door was pushed open, and I saw Zhou Lin, who was dressed in a green robe, walking out, and there was a faint vitality around his body, which looked quite dusty.
"Master Zhou, you're out of the customs! Guo Gongzi asked me to wait here to greet you, and told me that as soon as you get out of the customs, you will find him in his room!" I saw that the maid dressed in black seemed to have been waiting for some time, I don't know if it was Zhou Lin's illusion or what, every time this maid saw herself, she revealed her figure very obviously, and from time to time she would open her eyes and look at herself silently, wouldn't this Guo Ling really let this woman serve herself, right?
"Huh, master, have you broken through?" pulled the green silk on her forehead, and the maid slowly walked around Zhou Lin's side.
After a few more glances at the maid, Zhou Lin also took a deep breath, he may sometimes be able to speak well, but sometimes he really doesn't know how to deal with women, but when he thought of how many corpses there were in his storage ring, he hurriedly said to the maid in front of him: "Where is Guo Linggongzi's room, take me to him!"
"Yes, Master, please come with me. ”
Before following the maid to a house with a simple appearance, yes, compared to the other houses of Tongsheng Trading House, this room is extraordinarily simple, and when you enter it, the decoration is also very ordinary, there are no fancy accessories, not even a flower pot.
Guo Ling seemed to be looking at a scroll of jade slips intently, as if he had seen something special, and was savoring it, not even noticing the maid and Zhou Lin who came.
"Guo Linggongzi, Master Zhou is out of the customs! I brought the master here!" the maid said softly.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm fascinated by reading, come, Master Zhou, sit down, I have something important to discuss, you go out first!" As soon as Guo Ling heard that Zhou Lin was coming, he quickly stood up and invited Zhou Lin to take a seat, and when the maid left, he looked at Zhou Lin twice.
Seeing the maid go away, Guo Ling said with a smile: "Master Zhou, I don't know if the maid I arranged for you is still satisfied?"
"If you can change it, change it, so as not to disturb my cultivation, but I really didn't expect that Guo Linggongzi's room was so simple, it seems that Guo Linggongzi is also an ascetic!" Zhou Lin changed his words, obviously, a person with such wealth as Tongsheng Commercial Bank, but living in such a room, is definitely not an ordinary person.
"The way of cultivation is long-term, if you can't pursue it quietly, sooner or later you will eventually stop, I Guan Zhou Master seems to have made a breakthrough in cultivation, it seems that this retreat has gained a lot!"
"As for why my room is so simple, hahaha, although the business house is rich, it is also up little by little, our Tongsheng Commercial Bank is just a branch, maybe the master has not been to the headquarters of our Tongsheng Commercial Bank, hehe, it's not that I'm arrogant, our Tongsheng Commercial Bank headquarters is in the Great Liao Capital, as for the size of the headquarters, it's about the same size as this Wangyuan City!" Guo Ling said proudly.
"What? A trading house is about the same size as Wangyuan City, is it really fake? Isn't it enough to get dizzy when you enter your trading house? Huh? That, then, how big is the capital of Da Liao?" Even if he is scheming like Zhou Lin, it is unbelievable to hear such news, after all, it is too shocking!
"Before I became the person in charge of this firm, I was also very skeptical, but I was fortunate enough to go to the headquarters once because of one thing, I was deeply shocked at first, and it took a long time to get used to the size of the headquarters, Master Zhou's alchemy skills are so outstanding, I will definitely go to the land of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger one day!" Guo Ling handed a cup of tea to Zhou Lin, and he also took a sip of a cup in front of him.
"Yes, but let's get down to business, Gongzi Guo Ling, do you know about the matter of the Great Sword Gate some time ago, I want to know what the follow-up result will be?" Putting away the shock in his heart, Zhou Lin asked what he cared about.
"The matter of the Great Sword Gate naturally can't be found out in the end, it can only be over, the Great Sword Gate itself said that a total of seven Qi Layer cultivators went to the hall master plus seven Qi Layer monks, and four people died, they were victimized by other people's internal responses, coincidentally, on the day of the accident, the head of the Li family had been talking to the master of the Great Sword Gate at that time for a few days, and he didn't know what he was talking about, hehe!" Guo Ling carefully recalled all the news about this matter.
"Oh, there are only eight people in total, right?" Zhou Lin asked suddenly.
"Yes, there were a total of eight people who went there, all of them were from the Great Sword Gate, and there were no other outsiders, but the interesting thing is that the day after the accident, it was said that one of the sons and nephews of the city lord of Black Wind City died, and I heard that this grumpy old guy even killed a few people to vent his anger!
"Nephew, the city lord of Black Wind City, died the day after the accident?" Zhou Lin narrowed his eyes and muttered in a low voice.
"By the way, Master, it's a big deal to let you come here as soon as you get out of the customs!"
"Big deal, I have a big thing to do right now, and I still owe you a lot of pills to the firm!" Zhou Lin yawned and said casually.
"Hahaha, this is just a trivial matter, the usual alchemy reserves of our Tongsheng Commercial Bank are still enough, and there are also a few first-class alchemists under our subordinates, it's just a trivial matter, if Master Zhou feels that alchemy is too troublesome, the elixir owed by the master will be waived!" Obviously ridiculed by Zhou Lin's joke, Guo Ling hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Haha, it's just a little joke, what should be done is still to be done, Guo Ling Gongzi doesn't have to take it seriously, what is the matter with me today?"
"That's the case, I wonder if Master Zhou knows about a secret realm of the Spirit Garden outside Wangyuan City?" Guo Ling turned his head and played with the ring in his hand.
"The secret realm of the Spirit Garden? I haven't been in the city for long, so I really don't know. Putting aside his thoughts about the group of black-clothed people, Zhou Lin replied.
"I don't know if it's okay, I just want to ask Master Zhou next week, you can refine the second-grade elixir now, I don't know how you can distinguish those elixirs or spiritual materials?"
"Discernment? Although this Zhou is not talented, as long as it is not too rare or has never seen an elixir, I think I can still distinguish the year and the effect of the medicine!"
