Early in the morning of the third day, Shi An didn't care whether An An was happy or not, so he dragged her out of the formation and threw her on his shoulder, and packed all his belongings in the residence in the Dongtian Stone. Then he came to the counter early, holding a square piece of flash iron in his hand, and quietly waited for Sun Lang's arrival.

Just after midnight, a young Qi Refining Cultivator in a strong suit walked to the counter, clasped his fists at Shi An and saluted, "Are you Senior Uncle Zhao An from the outer gate?"

"Exactly. ”

"I am a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, and the hall master ordered me to come and take the flash iron that he asked you to smelt. ”

"Why didn't he come over in person?" Shi An was a little disappointed, and all his preparations were in vain.

"He suddenly had something important this morning, and that's why he called me over to get it. Here's your payout. As he spoke, he handed over five medium-grade spirit stones, which was enough in terms of remuneration.

At this moment, Shi An is completely out of tricks.

He was still thinking just now that if the other party didn't pay or gave too little compensation, he could still use this as an excuse to seize the flash iron and ask Sun Lang to come and get it himself, and then implement his murder plan. Now that they didn't bully others, he couldn't say anything, so he had to hand over the flash iron, and then said to the disciple: "Go back and tell Hall Master Sun that there are still materials to be smelted in the future, and I can be found here, or in the Lanwan courtyard where the outer disciples live." ”

After sending the disciple away, Shi An was stunned, and couldn't help but think in his heart: Could it be that Sun Lang was suspicious of himself and didn't dare to come over?

In fact, Shi An was too careful, and Sun Lang didn't come over because there was something important.

At the end of the morning.

In the backyard of the Law Enforcement Hall where Sun Lang was located, there was a Jiedan monk, Luo Jue, who was quietly nicknamed the "One-Armed Elder" by the disciples in the fort.

When Elder Luo appeared in front of Sun Lang, he was really taken aback: "Why is this person here? Since he gave me the axe when he returned to the fort, there has been no more to do with it, what is the matter with coming to the Law Enforcement Hall to find me today?"

Hurriedly got up and saluted and asked, "Uncle Shi, you are early, I don't know what to tell me?"

Luo Jue's eyes swept left and right, Sun Lang naturally understood the matter, so he led Luo Jue to his cultivation room, and arranged for the disciples on duty today to go to the hardware store to retrieve the flash iron, and the rest of the disciples went to inspect all parts of the castle.

Luo Jue used his divine sense to probe the front and back yards, and when he saw that there were no more idle people, he smiled and said, "Okay, Hall Master Sun, you are still sensible." ”

"Uncle Shi still calls me Sun Lang, you really torment me by calling me like that. ”

"It's okay, Sun Lang, I came to you today to see how your cultivation is going. Looks like you're close to the peak of the third layer, right?"

"Uncle Hui, in half a month, you can hit the middle stage of foundation building. ”

"Okay, your cultivation progress is faster than I imagined, but the day before yesterday, I talked about you with Senior Brother Castle Lord, and he said that although you have a lot of spiritual roots, the main problem is that your spiritual roots are weak, even if you take some pills to expand your spiritual roots when you advance to the foundation building stage, the effect is not obvious. On the other hand, your Qi Sea is a bit small even compared to ordinary Two Spirit Root Cultivators, so although the promotion is fast, there are also many flaws. ”

"What Uncle Shi said is that Master has pointed this out to me many times. It is said that my aura storage is low, so once I do it with others, I must not have any reservations, and directly take out the most powerful spell to kill the other party as soon as possible, and I must not fall into a stalemate, otherwise the aura will only be destroyed. He couldn't help but be a little frustrated when he said this.

"Now that you know, what solution can you think of to solve this problem?"

"I've also found some powerful spells from the Library Pavilion, and I'm practicing them hard. You gave me the axe, I really didn't dare to take it out and use it, too many people knew that it was an item that Liu De bought, so I have sent my henchmen to the city under the jurisdiction of the Jihai faction to exchange for a batch of intermediate materials suitable for making magic weapons, and in the near future, I plan to find someone to tailor a high-grade magic weapon for me to maximize my combat effectiveness. ”

"Well," Luo Jue nodded, "It's right to plan ahead, but it's the wrong direction." The core of your problem is not whether the spell is strong enough, nor whether the magic weapon is sharp enough, but that the qualification is not strong enough. The spiritual root is weak and no one can crack it, but there is really a way to solve the expansion of the qi sea, why, didn't the castle master tell you?"

"Nope. Listening to Luo Jue's meaning, his master knows how to improve his current situation, but why don't he say it? Thinking of this, Sun Lang didn't feel a little annoyed.

"Then maybe the castle lord has other arrangements, I didn't say that. Luo Jue squinted at Sun Lang and said.

"Uncle Shi, don't say half and swallow half of the words, we have some master-apprentice relationship," Sun Lang was a little anxious, and talked about the old emotions, "You can tell me about it." ”

"Okay," Luo Jue saw that the time was almost up, and said half-pushing, half-on-the-spot: "Actually, there is another way available, that is, to open up the sea of qi through spiritual qi infusion, but it will be more painful to do so. ”

"Infusion of aura? are you talking about going to the Yin Demon Sect's training method?"

"Well, that's the way it works. ”

"Didn't you say that the method of infusion can only be carried out by monks in the later stage of foundation building, and it is only used for the sake of knotting?"

"You don't have to worry about this for now, you just have to answer me honestly one question now. Luo Jue suddenly asked solemnly.

"Just ask, and I'll answer the truth. ”

"Do you want to be the lord of the castle?"

The sudden question made Sun Lang tremble, and he calmed down for a while before saying, "Uncle, don't talk nonsense, this is a great rebellion." ”

"Hehehe," Luo Jue smiled after hearing this, "Others can't understand you, do you think I can't understand either?" Back then, the hall master who could be promoted to any hall after you built the foundation, as a disciple of your castle master, you could obviously enter the hall or Yizi Hall as the hall master, one of these two places is in charge of the distribution of cultivation items, and the other is in charge of the income and expenditure of spiritual stones in the trade, which are the two biggest fat differences in the castle, and you chose the position of the hall master who has the least oil and water, and the most hard-working law enforcement hall master, why?"

"After taking charge, he first vigorously expanded the ranks of his subordinates, and then continued to rectify the style and discipline, and appointed people who were not qualified but practical and capable, what is the purpose? Strictly require his subordinates to step up their time to cultivate, especially offensive spells, the law enforcement hall is already a civilian in the castle, why do you increase the combat effectiveness of your subordinates? Also, every morning class adds the content of loyalty and righteousness, and those who have some complaints about you are expelled from the law enforcement hall, I think these are not as simple as everyone thinks to fulfill their duties, right?"

A series of questions made Sun Lang stammer, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

"You don't have to worry, I can say these things to you openly and honestly today, instead of running to your master to speak, just to hear your answer with my own ears, and I will ask you one last time, do you, want to, dang, fort, lord?" he asked word by word.

Sun Lang hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded firmly.

"Hehehe," Luo Jue chuckled again, "I didn't misread you, you really have ideas and means." That's a lot easier, now I can tell you some things you should know, I'll start with the Yin Demon Sect. ”

"The Yin Demon Sect once had a secret agreement with the castle master, and every once in a while, five disciples from the castle would be selected to go to other sects to infuse spiritual energy, and cultivate a group of disciples in the Dan stage at the cost of ten years, and then return them to the sect. Luo Jue said.

"I know this, I heard that more than thirty years ago, a total of five disciples in the late stage of foundation building went there, and finally came back three early stage junior uncles, you are one of them, and after you came back, you became an elder in the castle along with the other two senior uncles. ”

"Well, we were the first to be infused thirty-four years ago, so what do you know about anything else?"

"I heard from the brothers in the fort that the method of infusion is very dangerous, although it can be more certain than ordinary step-by-step cultivation, but the mortality rate is also quite high, and two disciples died in the last infusion. ”

Luo Jue nodded slightly and said: "This is half right, the success rate is high, but it is completely certain; it is not false to die two, but it is not from infusion, but from the hands of the three of us." ”
