There is no calendar in the mountains, and the cold does not know the year.

Since the cold wave closed the mountain, the temperature on Tianzhu Mountain has been getting lower and lower day by day.

There are often ice chips sprinkled all over the sky in the foggy sea on the cloudy side, and the ice chips are blown down to the mountain wall by the cold wind, and the Tianzhu Mountain is already snow-capped.

In the Earth Dragon Cave, Zhao Sheng, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of depression.

He hammered the remains of the mountain dragon behind him a few times, and stood up from the ground violently.

What does it feel like to enter Baoshan empty-handed?

He really felt it now!

Obviously, the aura in the Dragon Cave of Mountain is very strong, but why...

"Ah, why is it all earth-walking aura?" Zhao Sheng shouted a little frantically.

If you are alone for a long time, you will inevitably lose control of your emotions.

Zhao Shengqi almost ran away, took out the dragon claw knife from the storage bag, and slashed at the remains of the mountain dragon.

When his emotions were almost vented, Zhao Sheng put away his claw knife, stepped forward, bent down and stretched out his hand to gather the fragments of the chopped remains into a pile, and then held them into the stone jar not far away.

Now, countless years later, the remains of this mountain dragon have turned into earth and stone, and most of the spiritual essence has been lost.

But Zhao Sheng was surprised to find that these "soil and stones" could actually be used as medicinal soil. Although it is a few points worse than the medicinal mud, it is also comparable to the spiritual soil.

Therefore, Zhao Sheng, who had repeatedly failed in cultivation, started a part-time job as a medicine farmer, spending a considerable part of his time in the medicine field every day.

Loosen the soil, water, sprinkle the soil, move the earthworms... Whatever work he could think of, Zhao Sheng did it.

Or else!

The cold wave closed the mountain, and he couldn't cultivate, so he had to find something to do.

Draw a symbol?

He wanted to, but his spiritual power didn't allow it.

As for the little Lingyuan Pill he saved before entering the mountain, he had eaten it up a month ago.

But the hard days are finally over.

Zhao Sheng counted the days, and it was not far from the thawing of the mountain.

Half a month later,

On the edge of the slope, Zhao Sheng stood on a raised stone, watching the last bit of ice in the mist quietly dissolve, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

After turning back and sealing the cave on the mountain wall with gravel, Zhao Sheng immediately embarked on the road out of the mountain.

Twenty days later, when he reappeared, the man had already arrived at the gate of Dongtian City.

At this time, Zhao Sheng was wearing a dark blue robe, and there was not even a trace of wrinkles on his clothes.

He looked like a fledgling immortal rookie, and he couldn't tell that he had just come down from Tianzhu Mountain.

Everything comes first.

Zhao Sheng didn't want to be seen by the old birds in Dongtian City with strong eyesight because of his clothes and makeup.

After paying the entrance tax, Zhao Sheng successfully entered Dongtian City.

As soon as he passed the city gate, he was trying to find a place to stay temporarily, but a sloppy figure rushed forward and grabbed his arm.

"Uncle, you can count it back. I'm scared to death. Thank you ancestors for your blessing! ”

As soon as Zhao Sheng heard this, he immediately dispersed the palm spell, and after a closer look, this person was Zhao Yongwu.

"With force, I'm just going out for a trip. How did you get to this now? Zhao Sheng asked a little strangely.

Zhao Yongwu smiled bitterly when he heard this, looked left and right, and hurriedly whispered: "Uncle, it's inconvenient to talk here, let's go home first."

Well

Zhao Sheng nodded, and then followed Zhao Yongwu towards the direction of the outer city of Dongtian.

……

Seven days later, a rented courtyard in the outer city of Dongtian. In the quiet room, Zhao Sheng opened his eyes and exhaled a long white pillar of air, and the spiritual power vortex in his body expanded again.

He had just been promoted to the fourth level of Qi refining.

Zhao Sheng was surprised, he didn't expect that Tianzhu Mountain's life and death experience would allow him to break through the barrier between the third and fourth layers of qi refining.

Although this barrier was only a small hurdle in the Qi refining period, it would take a few years for immortal cultivators to break through at most.

But don't forget that Zhao Sheng is a four-spirit root with inferior qualifications, and his cultivation speed is much slower than that of the three-spirit root.

This breakthrough saved him at least three years.

The breakthrough of the realm made Zhao Sheng very happy, and temporarily suppressed his worries about the family.

Seven days ago, he learned from Zhao Yongwu that since he sold the property in Dongtian City, the relationship between the two rooms of the Zhao family, which had gradually eased, suddenly became tense.

Especially in the second room, he thought that he had someone to support in the Ziyang Sect, so he ignored the opposition of the big house and began to intensify the search for the family's wealth.

The move of the second room is nominally to renew the lease of Longli Lake, but secretly who knows what the idea is.

Seeing that a conflict was inevitable, both the Zhao family found that Zhao Sheng, the nominal "head of the family", suddenly became important.

At this time, Zhao Sheng went out and did not return.

This is a big house of people.

Zhao Sheng didn't come back, how could they stop the stupid move of the second room in the name of the head of the family.

However, the elders of the big house never thought that Zhao Sheng would obey their orders? Even... Will he go back?

Zhao Sheng already had the answer in his heart: if he doesn't go back, he won't meddle in the grievances between the two rooms.

Because he knew that even if he went back, he would not be able to solve the fundamental problem.

The great man once said that to solve things, we must distinguish between the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction.

Zhao Sheng understands very well that there are two root causes of all the contradictions in the Zhao family: one is the lack of foundation building monks in the family, and the other is the renewal of the lease in Longli Lake.

As long as the above two points are solved, everything else will be solved.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng got up and walked out of the room, looking up at the outside of the cave.

By this time twilight had fallen.

He said to himself, "Calculate the time, it should be coming soon!"

The next morning, just as Zhao Sheng was drawing the talisman, Zhao Yongwu walked into the room with an excited face and brought good news.

The elder of the Zhao Jinding clan came in person.

After a while, Zhao Sheng walked into the living room, and the first thing he saw was Zhao Jinding sitting on the chair on the upper left with a pale face.

At this time, beside him, sat an old man with a thin figure and a face somewhat similar to Zhao Jinding.

Zhao Sheng looked at this person and said secretly: "Could it be that he is the leader of the Zhao family's dark tribe?"

Back then, Zhao Sheng learned the lesson of Fangyan Valley's demise and knew that eggs could not be put in one basket, so two years before his death, he personally formed the Zhao Clan's dark department.

Entering the living room, Zhao Sheng greeted Zhao Jinding, and Zhao Jinding quickly introduced the identity of the old man to Zhao Sheng.

As expected, the old man was indeed the leader of the dark department of the Zhao family's generation, his real name was Zhao Jinjian, a ninth-level immortal cultivator of qi refining.

After the three of them sat down again, Zhao Jinding's face turned pale, and he asked in a solemn tone: "Chonghe, you can talk about it now." Why do you have to summon the golden sword to Dongtian City? Don't you know that he has a special status? ”

The reason why Zhao Jinding said this is because Zhao Sheng once set the rule that once the clansmen become the dark department, they will be independent of the family, and they are absolutely not allowed to meddle in family affairs, let alone contaminate power.

Zhao Sheng smiled and didn't explain, but took out a jade box from the storage bag, pushed it in front of Zhao Jinding, and motioned for him to open it.

At the same time, Zhao Jinjian, who was sitting silently on the side, was secretly observing Zhao Sheng.

For the youngest and most special head of the Zhao family in the past three hundred years. To say that he is not interested would be a lie.

Wandering in the immortal cultivation world for decades, Zhao Jinjian has known countless people, but he has never seen such a special person as the person in front of him.

is obviously a weak crown at a young age, but his demeanor is extremely mature and calm. It doesn't look like a young man at all, but like an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years.

Strange, really weird!

Could it be that someone has taken it away?

Zhao Jinjian was pondering in his heart, when he suddenly heard Zhao Jinding let out an exclamation.
