「... The Three Destruction Plan is being carried out in an orderly manner, more than 100 Yin Caves in the Heavenly Burial Plain have been destroyed, millions of zombies and ghosts have been burned, and the progress of the "Golden Wall Great Wall" is seriously insufficient, and it has just been built to a third......

「... According to the spiritual news released by Dangxian City, the exchange price of spirit stones has generally increased by one percent, temporarily closing the exchange channels of high-grade spirit stones, and the transaction price of bulk spirit ore has reached the highest level in five thousand years, and the average price of Xuantie has increased from four spirit stones per catty to five spirit stones. At the same time, the shortage of elixir is becoming more and more serious......

「... In the past year, there have been Wu Zeng, Zhou Yang, Xifeng... When the eleven countries were removed, the war clouds on the plain of all nations were thick, and large-scale mortal wars with millions of blood had occurred in many places, and many countries had formed a national alliance, and the Xiuxian family behind it also suffered heavy casualties......

「... Many immortal cultivation sects led by Xiaoyaomen have opened their mountain gates in the past two years, and the recruitment standards have dropped significantly. Except for the ten major sects, the rest of the second-rate forces have been reduced to the minimum of the four spirit roots and can worship the mountain gate. Heshan faction, Heqi sect and other end-of-the-line ......"

「... The popularity of the four major scattered cultivation cities, such as Dongtian City and Dangxian City, is sluggish, and the market continues to be depressed, and the reason seems to be caused by a large number of scattered cultivators joining the sect and the Immortal Cultivation Family......

「... The Lancang Ancestor of the Ziyang Sect fell mysteriously, and the cause of death was unknown...... The real person of the scattered cultivation Mu Yan has been seated, and the relics have been obtained by a certain Qi refining and scattered cultivation... The Royal Beast Sect Beast Beast Park suddenly ***, so far three sixth-order demons have escaped, and the fifth-order and below ......."

……

On the ninth floor of the Bagua Guangming Building, Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged on the meditation futon, and slowly put the information jade slip into the storage bag with his right hand, and muttered to himself at the same time: "The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!"

Ten years away from the Shattered Star Sea, the situation in Middle-earth has changed dramatically again, and the current situation is becoming more and more severe, and the major forces seem to be slowly tightening the strings.

The atmosphere in the immortal cultivation world became more and more heavy and gloomy, and everyone sat under the powder kegs under their buttocks, as if they were on fire.

There is no doubt that everything originated in the Heavenly Burial Plain. The seals of the two realms are about to expire, and the Netherworld Ghost Realm will inevitably invade the Heavenly Pillar Realm again.

Because of the approaching war between the two realms, it has caused this tense and heavy atmosphere in Middle-earth.

The Middle-earth Sect Alliance swept the cave in the Heavenly Burial Plain and burned the zombies and ghosts without much cover-up.

So much so that the news of the imminent war between the two realms also changed from slow to fast, and finally it spread wildly among immortal cultivators.

Perhaps because the immortal cultivation realms of other continents and oceans were too far away, the low-level immortal cultivators knew very little about this matter.

But in Middle-earth, let alone casual cultivation, even some well-informed mortals learned of this shocking news.

Therefore, when Zhao Sheng returned to Xinglong City, everyone in the Zhao family was ecstatic, and people's hearts suddenly stabilized.

However, because of this, Zhao Sheng was "besieged" by all the clan elders as soon as possible, and there were countless major matters that needed to be solved urgently to be reported to the ancestor, and he was waiting for the ancestor's reply.

As you can imagine, sometimes a dispute over the ownership of a spirit mine can involve millions of spirit stone-level interests.

In the Xinglong Zhao Clan, there is not just one major matter like this, there are more affairs that are ten times more important and complex than it, and Zhao Sheng needs to make the decision.

Faced with this tricky situation, Zhao Sheng had to spend half a month to deal with these things.

But it wasn't until two months later that he straightened out the internal and external affairs of the family again, and once again made the entire Zhao family run smoothly and greatly improved their efficiency.

Therefore, when Zhao Sheng occasionally feels bored, he will also envy the carefree and easy nature of the scattered cultivators.

However, he didn't know that the Scattered Cultivator was actually very envious of him who had an immortal Dao clan like him who could fully support his cultivation.

Time flies, spring goes to autumn.

Half a year later, the Xinglong Zhao clan gradually underwent a subtle change, when other forces were aggressively recruiting loose cultivators and opening the dangerous mode of "big fish eating small fish".

However, the development trend of the whole Zhao clan has changed rapidly from expansion to defense, from pioneering to production mode, and the intensity of opening up territory has plummeted by half.

Not only that, but Zhao even began to reduce the amount of use internally

Reduce unnecessary expenses. Cut all kinds of unprofitable transactions to the outside world, sell unimportant fixed assets, and at the same time purchase and hoard all kinds of materials in large quantities.

On the surface, what the Xinglong Zhao clan did was no different from other immortal cultivation forces, it was nothing more than reducing consumption in advance before the war, taking the initiative to gather resources, secretly hoarding Juqi, and so on.

But in fact, before Zhao Xuanjing was promoted to Yuanying, the most important thing for the Xinglong Zhao clan was to keep a low profile and maintain stability, which was the first priority of the whole clan.

In addition, because he didn't know how far the war between the two realms would eventually evolve, Zhao Sheng secretly started a plan called "Whole Clan Buwu".

With the Jindan Ancestor issuing a decree, the huge machine of the Xinglong Zhao Clan started to roar quickly.

Of course, the bigger the boat, the harder it is to turn around. Even with Zhao Sheng in command, it took a full year for the Xinglong Zhao clan to finally complete the turn.

In less than two years, the major forces in southern Xinjiang saw a distinct change in the Zhao family.

At this time, Zhao Sheng lost no time in deliberately showing his face at the birthday ceremony of a certain ancestor of the Danding faction.

Setting a large number of elixir purchase deals with the Danding faction is secondary, and it is more important to tell the world that he, Zhao Sheng, the Jindan ancestor of the Zhao family, is still alive!

The impact of Zhao Sheng's reappearance was immediate, and the surrounding forces of Xinglongyuan quickly became honest, and the disputes over territorial interests were greatly reduced.

As a result, Xinglong Zhao ushered in a rare period of stable development.

No matter how sinister the turmoil in the outside world was, Xinglongyuan ignored it and only cared about the whole clan starting the large-scale production mode of alchemy refining talismans.

When the clouds of war were thick, no matter how many elixirs the Zhao clan refined, they couldn't satisfy those bottomless gluttonous mouths.

……

Five years later, on the seventh day of the seventh month.

On this day, the Kunzi area of Xinglong Dungeon was full of people, and a long line stretched along the underground passage to the end of the passage.

There were old and young people in the team, all of whom were happily waiting, and there was no resentment on their faces.

Beside each of them were two and a half human-high huge wooden barrels, which were full of corpses of various low-level breeding demon beasts, such as the Spirit Fish, the Wind Rabbit, the Meat Armor Pig, and so on.

Five years ago, the Hall of Merit issued a major announcement, announcing the unlimited purchase of all kinds of demon beast meat, with no limit on grades.

At the beginning, only the Immortal Cultivators actively participated in this matter. Later, when a certain layman tried to sell a batch of the lowest Biling Fish to the Hall of Merit, and successfully exchanged it for a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill, countless clansmen followed suit.

Later, the entire Xinglong Yuan set off a craze for breeding low-level demon beasts. Some of the Zhao immortal cultivators who have no skills are even more motivated to hunt all kinds of demon beasts and fierce birds everywhere.

In the past few years, the Hall of Merit seems to have become a glutton, no matter how many demon beast corpses it can swallow, and it will even ask for it from surrounding forces.

Zhao Shiluo lined up in the line with a little apprehension, and in the barrel beside him was a white and fat, skinned pig.

Watching the clansmen leave the counter one by one satisfied, Zhao Shiluo looked back at his grandfather and couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, after selling the meat armor pig this time, you can really send me into the Immortal Martial Hall."

"Good grandson, you don't look down on grandpa! I think your grandfather also came out of Xianwutang back then. If you don't have the certainty of sending you in, Lao Tzu dares to boast of such a Haikou?!"

Grandpa was a burly old man with a beard, with bulging muscles on his bare arms, a pair of hands as big as a fan, and thick calluses on his palms.

Zhao Shiluo's heart was a little relieved when he heard this, but he was still not at ease.

The threshold of Xianwutang is getting higher and higher year by year, and last year it has reached the standard of non-half-step congenital non-acceptance, who knows how strict it will be this year.

"Grandpa, I'm eighteen years old, but the iron body has not yet been completed, and the internal qi is only thirty years old, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the Immortal Martial Hall." Zhao Shiluo said worriedly.

"Relax! Today, the two of us sold the two meat armor pigs, and exchanged them for two bottles of Jingyuan Dan for you. I'll guarantee you three months to be promoted to a half-step innate. Before that, I took you to meet someone, and you know that your grandfather has not been in vain in his life."

Grandpa's self-confidence infected Zhao Shiluo,

He finally relaxed.

At this time, several people in front and behind the team also heard the words of the pair of grandchildren, and looked at the two with envious eyes.

Since the "Whole Clan Buwu", no one in the entire Xinglong City knows that the Xianwu Hall is the hottest place in the eyes of the mortal clan, and countless people want to squeeze their heads into it desperately.

"Brother, if you have a way, you might as well pull your brother along. Then the benefits of the old brother will be indispensable."

"I have a bottle of Bigu Dan here, if the old man can introduce it for me. This bottle of elixir is a thank you gift."

「... I have four spirit stones if..."

Others rushed forward and made benefits in advance, and Zhao Shiluo was excited when he heard it.

But his grandfather was not impressed at all, he just played haha with others, and the key point was not leaked at all.

After a while, it was their grandfather's and grandson's turn.

Grandpa hurriedly went to the counter and exchanged the meat armor pig for two bottles of Jingyuan Dan, and spared three wooden armor talismans.

As soon as the exchange was finished, Grandpa grabbed Zhao Shiluo and quickly slipped out, which caught others off for a while.

An hour later, the grandfather and grandson went around and around, passing through the small half of Xinglong City, and finally came to a vast area, the house is thick and solid, the huge stone wall is endless, and the ground is paved with Qinggang Rock.

There were bursts of cheers in the dojo, the air was filled with hot and dry breath, which made people's blood boil, and the spirit and wolf smoke rose from the depths of the dojo, and at a glance it looked like a place in Longtan and a tiger's den.

This place is Xianwu Hall, also known as Xianwu Dojo.

"You're waiting here!" After Grandpa Zhao Hong left a sentence, he hurriedly entered the Xianwu Hall.

After half an hour, Zhao Hong walked out of it with a middle-aged strong man with a red face.

"Shiluo, why don't you hurry up and meet your great-uncle and ancestor!" As soon as the three of them approached, Zhao Hong hurriedly glanced at his grandson and shouted loudly.

Seeing this, Zhao Shiluo hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Shiluo pays a visit to Uncle Zeng!"

"Well, the muscles and bones are boiling well, but the internal qi is far from enough. In addition, this year's recruitment standards of Xianwutang are higher again. This year, only young geniuses under the age of 16 are recruited. This kid must be eighteen. It's a pity!"

The words of the middle-aged strong man surprised the grandfather and grandson.

Zhao Hong's face was bitter, and he pleaded, "Senior Uncle Ancestor, see if you can be accommodating. You must know that you are the youngest martial arts master in the entire clan. If others can't do it, you can do it. My dad back then—"

The middle-aged strong man waved his hand and interrupted Zhao Hong's complaint, "Okay, don't always talk about your father. Sixteen years old is a hard standard set by my ancestors, and I can't accommodate it. However, I have a miscellaneous quota in my hand, and I can indirectly join the Immortal Martial Hall. If you want to accept it, you can accept it, and if you don't want it, the old man can't help it."

"The dirty work of fetching water and sweeping is tiring, but Shiluo is capable. But I'm afraid that my martial arts training will be delayed because of this. Uncle Ancestor, do you have any work to do lightly?" For the sake of his grandson's future, Zhao Hong didn't even care about his old face.

The middle-aged strong man smiled slightly, "There really is such a job. There's a lack of a person on the side of the mushroom meat field, so let him go up. In addition, the old man simply accepted Corporal Luo as a registered disciple, which can be regarded as repaying Brother Qiong's life-saving grace back then."

Zhao Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly pressed Zhao Shiluo's head, and Bang Bang Bang gave the middle-aged strong man three kowtows.

"Thank you Uncle Ancestor for your kindness, Shiluo will definitely not let you down!"

In this way, Zhao Shiluo apprenticed to his teacher in a daze, and by the way, he became a handyman in the field of raising mushrooms and meat.

……

It was September, and the hot southern Xinjiang had a rare autumn day.

The sun is shining, the sky is cloudless, and Xinglong City is still bustling and noisy, with a tide of people.

However, within a radius of more than ten miles from the Bagua Guangming Building, the temperature dropped abnormally suddenly, and the light became very dim.

However, the top of the Bright Tower was extremely dazzling, and a thick incandescent white pillar of light fell from the sky and went straight to the top of the nine-story building.

From a distance, those with excellent eyesight can faintly see the end of the pillar of light, and two extremely small ones flickering above the extremely high and vast sky

points of light.

At this moment, if someone climbs above the sixth floor of the Guangming Building, they can detect that the building is extremely hot, the fire aura is very strong, and it is extremely active. The heat streaming from above seemed to indicate that there was a large furnace hidden in the upper floors.

At this time, the defensive prohibitions on the sixth floor of the Guangming Building were all activated, and there were three Zhuji clan elders sitting scattered at the staircase, and the three of them were scorching with spiritual light all over their bodies, each holding a spiritual sword, and guarding the staircase with a solemn expression.

Before the Ancestor had completed his cultivation, no one was allowed to trespass on this place.

At this time, at the top of the Guangming Tower, on the jade platform outside the ninth floor, Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged in a huge spirit gathering array, his whole body was shrouded in that dazzling pillar of light, and the infinite fire aura cheered around him, and waves of aura frenzy were surging in the array.

Boom!

There was a faint rumbling sound in Zhao Sheng's body, and the golden pill in the dantian was suspended and brightened, and the true yuan below was surging like a sea, and the golden crow true fire turned into a round of great sun, enveloping the golden pill.

At this moment, a large amount of fire aura mixed with wisps of Haori essence was sucked into the dantian, and in the blink of an eye, it was tempered by the Golden Crow True Fire, and then transformed into pure True Yuan mana.

As time passed, wisps of purer true yuan rose out of the sea of qi and finally merged into the golden pill, which also made Zhao Sheng's cultivation make a little bit of progress.

After being promoted to the Golden Pill, the slow improvement speed of immortal cultivators' cultivation made countless real people desperate, and it was often years of hard cultivation that could be exchanged for a little bit of progress.

Even if the ordinary Three Spirit Root Golden Pill had been in retreat and penance for a lifetime, if there was no great opportunity, they would not even be able to touch the edge of the Yuan Infant Heavenly Tribulation.

The three spirit roots are like this, let alone the four spirit roots and the five spirit roots.

Well, it is difficult for most of the people below the four spirit roots to even build a foundation, let alone be promoted to Jindan.

Zhao Sheng is a golden fire twin spirit root, although there is hope of being promoted to Yuanying, but no one dares to guarantee that he will definitely succeed.

That's why he deliberately refined the Haoyang Mirror.

Originally, the Bagua Guangming Building had a large magic circle that transformed sunlight, which saved him most of his strength.

Therefore, since five years ago, Xinglong City suddenly had a strange scene of a pillar of light falling from the sky.
