In the afternoon, over the white stone hills, all kinds of light come and go.

The market on the top of the hill has become more and more prosperous, and it has changed from two vertical and two horizontal streets at the beginning to three vertical and three horizontal streets and six streets.

Of course, the most lively place is the square in the center of the city, the sun is shining, the square is full of stalls, bustling, noisy and noisy.

There were four men walking on the street, wearing the same light green clothes, and several of them had cultivation in the foundation building period, and one of them was a middle-aged man with a strange appearance who was in the later stage of foundation building.

A few people walked straight to the Four Seas Inn, and a shopkeeper went out to welcome the four of them in.

It wasn't a big deal, most of the people in the square didn't pay attention at all, only some monks in the square near the Four Seas Inn noticed.

"Those people in Tsing Yi, which force are they from? The strength is very strong. ”

"You don't even know this, it's from Lingyan Mountain."

"The ...... of Lingyan Mountain The Venerable Man of the Heavenly Wind is under his old man's door? ”

"Don't listen to his nonsense, it's from the Lingyan Lower Courtyard, and I heard that he is not a disciple of Lingyan Mountain at all."

"That's so, but the Lingyan Lower Courtyard is not bad, it is said to be stronger than some sects."

"The red jade spirit wine in the Lingyan Lower Courtyard is really good, I must go buy a bottle of it."

……

Listening to the surrounding discussions, a middle-aged man in the crowd sighed secretly, when the Lingyan Lower House was established, he also went to see the excitement, if he also applied for the job that day, he might be able to join, and the current situation will definitely be very different.

The two cultivators came and stopped in front of his stall, and the middle-aged man threw away his useless thoughts and introduced the goods for sale.

The two of them also seemed to be shy, and they were entangled for a long time, and they only bought a few spirit stones.

Shaking his head, the middle-aged man put away the spirit stone, and it was better than nothing, but fortunately, he could still buy a bottle of red jade spirit wine.

The red jade spirit wine is said to be made from red fruits, but the Lingyan Lower Courtyard has a secret recipe, and the quality is the same as the red fruit wine brewed by the cultivators themselves.

Because Lingyan Mountain produces purple jade spirit wine, the lower courtyard named this spirit wine "red jade spirit wine".

The red jade spirit wine is good and cheap, and a few spirit stones can buy a large bottle, so it is very popular as soon as it comes out.

The middle-aged man was guarding the stall, and the sun was gradually turning west, so he thought that he would eat some dry food and sit in the square for one night.

There are also a lot of people who go to the stalls at night, and they also save the cost of food and lodging, so it is not a big deal for immortal cultivators to not sleep for a few nights.

He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice: "Brother Tian, is it really you?!" ”

When I turned my head, I saw a man in Tsing Yi walking over with a surprise on his face.

"Brother Zhu, long time no see!" The middle-aged man got up and arched his hand.

"Yes, it's been a long time, it's rare to see each other today, come with me for a drink." Zhu Qi opened his mouth to invite.

"This ......" Tian Feiwei hesitated.

"Let's go, I'll have a treat, is Old Ge okay?" Zhu Qi asked.

"The tutor is fine, then I'll bother today."

Tian Fei took the stall and walked to the Four Seas Inn with Zhu Qi.

"What is this? I had been disturbing your master and apprentice for a long time. Zhu Qi smiled and said apologetically:

"When I came in the afternoon, I saw that it seemed to be you.

"But there was official business at the time, and I came to find it when I was done, don't blame Brother Tian."

The four people in the lower courtyard brought the spirit wine, pills and talismans produced in the lower courtyard to sell to the four seas, and they also had to buy some supplies to go back.

When he said this, Tian Fei's heart was relieved:

"Naturally, it's important to get down to business, when can't we catch up?

"By the way, congratulations to Brother Zhu for advancing to the late stage of foundation building!"

"Haha, thank you, I also just advanced not long ago."

When it came to this, Zhu Qi was also smiling.

If you successfully build a foundation, you will have a lifespan of 200 years, and when you cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building, your lifespan will increase to about 240 years, and you will have a lifespan of about 280 years in the later stage of foundation building.

He is now in his eighties, and it will take another twenty or thirty years to cultivate to the Great Perfection of Foundation Building, and he will not be too old at that time, and there is still hope for condensing the golden pill.

"By the way, there are a few of my companions who are eating together, let me introduce you." Zhu Qi said.

"It's good!" Tian Fei had seen it a long time ago.

Zhu Qi took Tian Fei to the second floor of the Four Seas Inn and entered a private room, where Zhu Qi's three companions were drinking tea and waiting.

It was Gai Zhenghao who was in a group with him, as well as Yang Pei and Han Lie, and Zhu Qi introduced several people one by one.

After greeting for a while, they called their fellows, served all the food and drinks, and a few people ate and drank.

The private room is magnificent, and Tian Fei is on the second floor of the Sihai Inn for the first time today.

The wine is the red jade spirit wine brought by a few people in the lower courtyard, and the dishes are very delicious, so Zhu Qi specially ordered a few spiritual foods.

Today is to celebrate his advancement, and it is Zhu Qi's treat, and the topic will inevitably revolve around him.

After three rounds of drinking, Gai Zhenghao put down his wine glass, and Dahan asked, "Brother Yang, do you think Lao Zhu can be the vice captain?" ”

The escort team of Lingyan's lower courtyard is led by Qinghe, and there has been no captain, only a deputy captain, Huang Hu, but Huang Hu basically doesn't care.

The yellow-robed man is an outlier in the lower courtyard, he has long known the courtyard master Chen Jing, and he is the junior brother of the deputy courtyard master Qinghe, most of the people recruited in the lower courtyard are brought by him, and Yu Hong, the most popular brewing teacher recently, was also introduced by him.

So although Huang Hu, the vice captain, doesn't seem to be doing anything serious, no one questions it.

The size of the lower house is growing day by day, and the deputy head of the house, Qinghe, intends to promote a deputy captain to be responsible for the day-to-day management of the escort team.

Originally, Zhu Qi's qualifications were poor, but after he advanced, he had no problem.

"I think Brother Zhu is very suitable, but this must be decided by the master of the courtyard." Yang Pei said with a smile.

"This matter is naturally decided by the two court masters, so let's not speculate." Zhu Qi put down his wine glass and said.

In fact, he was a little sure in his heart, after being in the lower courtyard for so many years, Zhu Qi had also seen Liu Fei'er a few times.

Naturally, he recognized her voice, it was the senior who forced him to ask about the relationship between the Zhou family and Jia Qing outside Horseshoe Mountain.

When the lower court was established, Zhu Qi had just come to the vicinity of Lingyan Mountain for a few years, and the origin was not easy to tell.

But he still entered the lower courtyard smoothly, thinking that it was because of the greetings from Senior Liu, and the deputy courtyard master Qinghe also looked at him differently, and arranged for his disciple Yang Pei to act with his group.

Therefore, although Zhu Qi has never talked to anyone about this relationship, he has a background and his ability is not bad, and he is still somewhat sure of the position of vice captain.

Zhu Qi saw that Tian Fei was about to speak and stopped, guessed his mind, and asked, "You say, will we still recruit people in the lower court?" ”

"We're almost enough people on patrol, and the escort team shouldn't be hiring." Gai Zhenghao said without thinking.

"It's unlikely, there are already people in the first two batches of apprentices who have built a foundation, unless it is a master like Yu Hongjiaoxi." Han Lie also shook his head.

Tian Fei was a little gloomy when he heard this, if he had applied for the job back then, even if he didn't pass, he wouldn't regret it today.

It's a pity I didn't try it that day.
