Chapter 1: Only by knowing people's hearts can we be invincible. Chapter 18: The Tough Clan...
Left home.
It is located in the south of Dongning City.
It is a small family with a population of more than 100.
In this huge Dongning City, as one of the tens of thousands of small families, it is inconspicuous......
And at this time, in the left house.
on a winding corridor.
There was a plainly dressed, slender middle-aged man, standing with his hands in his hands, looking at the flowers and plants by the fence not far away, motionless.
From time to time, in another part of the corridor, an old man in a gray robe walked briskly.
"Head of the house!"
The old man stopped, stood behind the middle-aged man, and saluted respectfully.
However, it seems that the middle-aged man did not hear the old man's voice, and still looked motionlessly not far away.
"Head of the house!"
When the old man saw this, he saluted respectfully again.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man still didn't react at all, like a towering rock, ignoring the world.
Until a long time...
"Alas......"
The middle-aged man let out a long sigh, as if the Tao had gone through countless reincarnations in the rise and fall of the world.
Slowly turned around, only to see that his face was full of haggardness and melancholy.
"It's Zhong Lao..."
The middle-aged man spoke softly, as if he was weak, and his voice was very low.
"Head of the house!"
"Now, there are more than ten disciples in the clan, all of whom are stuck in the Qi Cultivation Realm, and without the assistance of the Condensing Herb, they can't build a foundation at all!"
"And these children, they are already young, they have no experience in the world, and they are fine in a short time, if they don't break through after a long time, they may easily shake their state of mind, induce demon seeds, and thus cut off the path of cultivation!"
"But if you force a breakthrough, you will inevitably end up in a dead end!"
"Ugh..."
After the old man finished speaking, he sighed softly.
"What Zhong Lao said, I don't know..."
"But the condensing grass on the market today is too scarce and extremely difficult to buy!"
"These days, I have sent people to search for many shops in the city, but they have found nothing."
"There is a black market in the west of the city, but occasionally some condensing grasses are sold, but the price is three hundred spirit stones per plant, which is really outrageous!"
The middle-aged man shook his head slightly, and continued: "The asking price on the black market is too high, and now, I can only issue a reward, but even if a reward is issued, I'm afraid it will be difficult to buy..."
"yes!"
The old man nodded and said: "There are many families that have issued bounties now, all of them are medium-sized and above, and their strength and financial resources far exceed that of our clan!" ”
"Although the highest bounty price today is eighty spirit stones per plant, there are still a large number of masters of the Golden Pill Realm in this city, who are also buying and grabbing, and some have even bid up to one hundred and fifty spirit stones!"
"In this way, even if we release a reward for one hundred spirit stones, I'm afraid it will be a stone sinking into the sea, and it will be difficult to respond!"
"Alas......"
The middle-aged man sighed again, and after a while, he said, "Qingqing, this girl is not too young, and it's time to find her a mother-in-law..."
After speaking, the haggard look on the middle-aged man's face seemed to be a little more.
"Does the head of the house want to ......?"
"She's your daughter!"
The old man said with some surprise.
The middle-aged man shook his head.
"With the current situation of the family, this is also a helpless move, it is not my intention!"
"Ugh..."
The old man sighed softly: "Qingqing, this kid is a good girl, so I'm afraid I will suffer......
"For the sake of the family, I think she will understand."
The middle-aged man paused slightly, and then asked, "Now in the clan, how many spirit stones are left to draw?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the old man thought for a while, and then said: "At present, there are about 50,000 spirit stones in the clan, and the one that can be used immediately should only be about 20,000 spirit stones!" ”
"Ugh..."
The middle-aged man sighed softly.
"In this case, then you can go and get 22,000 spirit stones and go to the City Lord's Mansion with me."
……
The next day, at noon
South of the city.
Inside the Treasure Pavilion.
In the study on the fifth floor.
Wang Xiang was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
From time to time, he pinched the magic seal in his hand, and above his head, there were pieces of spirit stones circling, emitting bursts of dazzling flashes.
That's right!
At this time, he was cultivating!
Although the Treasure Pavilion is usually busy, there are not many things that require the pavilion master to come forward.
Therefore, Wang Xiang devoted all his spare time to cultivation and self-improvement.
Others basically rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, collecting the essence of the sun and the moon, or carving the spirit gathering array with spirit stones.
Only the wealthier scattered monks and children of the family will choose to directly absorb the spirit stones to cultivate, and they will absorb them piece by piece, so as to avoid the excessive flow of spiritual qi and cause waste.
But he Wang Xiang is different, every time he absorbs dozens or hundreds of yuan, he has a lot of money, and he is not afraid of loss!
Long...
Wang Xiang opened his eyes, and the dozens of spirit stones hovering above his head suddenly lost their light, fell suddenly, and shattered to the ground.
"Oh!"
"Finally, I have broken through to the late stage of the Foundation Building Realm!"
"I didn't expect it to be so difficult in this middle to late stage, it took months and consumed thousands of spirit stones!"
Wang Xiang moved his shoulders and stood up.
And at this time.
Boom! Boom!
There was a knock at the door.
"Enter!"
The face is charming, the body fragrance is overflowing, the body is charming, and the hair is sultry.
The person who came was Zixuan!
"Huh!"
As soon as she entered the room, Zi Xuan saw the fragments of spirit stones on the ground, smiled lightly, and teased.
"The pavilion master really has nothing to do, he is at ease!"
"Haha!"
Wang Xiang laughed, also not to be outdone, and said softly: "If Miss Zixuan is busy with things on weekdays, Wang Xiang can also do it for you!" ”
"Ugh..."
Zi Xuan sighed lightly: "It's just some trivial matters, but I still don't bother the pavilion master!" ”
As he spoke, he handed a crimson invitation to Wang Xiang.
"Oh!"
As soon as he received the invitation, Wang Xiang saw a big 'Mu' written on the front, and he was a little surprised, and asked, "What is the purpose of the invitation card of the Mu family in the City Lord's Mansion?" ”
"It's the Mu family's Tianxing Tower, and there will be an auction after March, so we have sent out invitations and invited many business houses and families," Zixuan said.
"Is it worth such a stir for an auction to be an auction?" Wang Xiang asked again.
"The main thing is that among the items in this auction, there are several valuable treasures, among them, there is also a superb spirit stone!"
As she spoke, Zixuan's face was a little moved.
Obviously, this so-called top-grade spirit stone must be a rare thing of great value.
"The best spirit stone!"
Wang Xiang was slightly surprised, but then regained his composure.
"From this point of view, this Tianxing Tower is still worth going to when the time comes!"
After Wang Xiang finished speaking, he put away the invitation, smiled lightly, and then said: "Miss Zixuan has been busy and hard for the Treasure Pavilion recently. ”
"It's better to set up a banquet another day, which can be regarded as thank you for your help before, I wonder if Miss Zixuan can appreciate her face?"
"Oh!"
"The pavilion master is polite, it's just a message, but it's just a gesture!"
"But..."
Zi Xuan smiled slightly and continued: "Since it was the pavilion master's invitation, then Zi Xuan might as well be respectful and obey her fate..."
……
At this time, it was the time for Wang Xiang to flirt with his sister.
A special bounty news spread throughout the city.
"I am Zuo Wushuang, the head of the Zuo family, and now at the price of one hundred spirit stones, I will buy two hundred Condensing Grasses, and those who are willing to sell can marry my Zuo Wushuang's daughter!"
