Xijing City.

Mahang Market.

It's still thriving.

At the end of the year, many people choose to come to the market to join in the fun.

In the miscellaneous courtyard, the first aunt of the Yi family, the second aunt of the Liu family, the three mothers of the Yan family, the widow of the Jia family, the mother-in-law of the Jin family in the backyard Fang Xiaoyan, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the three mothers-in-law, Yu Li, a group of women also went to the street together, ready to buy some light New Year's goods.

Looking left and right one by one, it is also lively.

Watch while walking, and talk while buying.

chatted back and forth, and talked about the Cao family again.

"The Cao family is now developed!"

"In the martial arts competition a few months ago, the little black girl of the Cao family actually won the first place, a bounty of 100,000 taels! Oh my mother, I'm scared to death!"

The three mothers provoked stubble.

Xijing Province is vast.

The news of the miscellaneous courtyard is blocked.

It was clearly the news a few months ago, but it didn't take long for everyone in the courtyard to learn the news.

Rivers and lakes and markets.

Say it's not far away.

Say it's not close.

In fact, there is a chasm.

But after the news spread to the miscellaneous courtyard, it caused countless discussions.

Astound.

Envy.

Eat one's heart out.

All kinds of emotions and all kinds of thoughts, it's hard to put into words.

Widow Qin also sighed when she heard this: "Back then, the eldest girl of the Cao family, so small, lean and thin, who would have thought that she would have this ability. There is also the Cao family, who broke out of such a big business quietly, I heard that a Changxi Lake so big in Huating County is now the industry of the Cao family, and it is more powerful than the Sun family!"

Former neighbors of a courtyard.

It's even a dilapidated settlement that escaped from the famine.

Who would have thought that there would be such a day.

Yu Li looked at the eldest lady and Fang Xiaoyan, and said with a smile: "When the Cao family was in the courtyard, then Aunt Cao chatted with the eldest lady and Sister Xiaoyan, and now she is capable, and I don't know if I still remember our old neighbors."

The eldest lady and Fang Xiaoyan smiled and did not speak.

The second lady was thinking about good things on the side: "A few days ago, the dragon turned over, and many houses collapsed in our yard, and every family set up sheds outside the house, and there was nowhere to put their feet in the yard. You say, if you talk to the Cao family, can you let this Cao family brother change us a good yard? At worst, it's good to repair the house! They are all old neighbors, and their family is developed, so they can't forget their roots, right?"

"Huh!"

"This can be!"

"Try it! Anyway, just open their mouths, a courtyard is nothing to the Cao family, and they can still get fame, what a good thing!"

The three mothers, Yu Li, Widow Qin and others all had bright eyes.

Even a lady and Fang Xiaoyan were a little moved.

I'm pondering.

Suddenly.

A group of people came from the street, and Widow Qin's sharp eyes recognized it at a glance: "Hey! Look, isn't that Aunt Cao?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

At a glance, I saw a young man who stood tall and stood out from the crowd.

The man didn't recognize him.

But beside him, a middle-aged woman was radiant, younger than she was back then, but her face had not changed, it was Cao Zhang.

"Really!"

"That black one is the Cao family's eldest man, right?"

"There is also the one who walks in front with a saber and a spirit, and the spiritual head is carved out of a mold like the eldest girl of the Cao family." ….

[I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend to me to chase books, @

It's all dumb.

Na Na is speechless.

Don't dare to step forward.

……

At the end of the year, the Cao family went into the city to go shopping-

Cao Zhang, Cao Ren, Cheng Jing, Cao Yi, Cao Xian, Cao Xin, Wei Feifei, Cao Liang, Cao Shu, Cao An, and Cao Ning, the eldest son of Cao Ren, who was born the year before last and was only three years old.

A big family, lively and lively.

He was followed by guards and servants, who were already carrying a lot of things in their hands.

Cao Zhang didn't see the old neighbors such as the eldest lady buried in the crowd, she was guarded by the stars, looked at the children on the left and right, and smiled all over her face.

I remember more than ten years ago, when the Cao family first came to Xijing City, they visited the night market in the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, and the family of five was shabby.

At that time, Cao Xian was wearing a new dress, and he was already happy, and he was careful and careful, for fear that it would be dirty and broken.

At that time, the situation at home had actually improved.

Go further.

The four walls of the house are not enough to describe.

Look at the present.

Twelve years.

I didn't dare to think about it at all.

"What do you like today, don't ask the price, just buy it."

"I'll pay for the whole audience!"

Cao Xian has a huge sum of 100,000 taels and is very arrogant.

is no longer the little black girl who wanted to seize Cao Xin's financial power all the time.

At this time, she was holding a piece of sugar ice and snow cold balls in her left hand, and a box of fragrant candy seeds in her right hand, and after eating two bites, she threw it to Cao Liang, muttering in her mouth: "It doesn't taste right!"

"Thank you, big sister!"

Cao Liang didn't hear Cao Xian's muttering, thanked him happily, and shared the food with his nephew in his arms.

Cao Xin's ears were tipped, and he smiled at Cao Xian, "The taste is the same, but the mood is different."

back then.

The family is poor.

It's fun to go to the night market even if you don't buy anything. Cao Xin bought two small snacks for Cao Xian, which made the eldest sister even more excited.

But now, eating the same snack is not as good as it was at the beginning.

For example, Cao Xian was determined to eat rock sugar gourds for a lifetime, and when he saw it, he was no longer greedy.

The flavor is no more.

Only feelings.

Cao Xin sighed.

Cao Xian was carefree, she won the top spot in the second Xijing Mansion Martial Arts Competition, and her excitement did not subside for several months, and it was when she was complacent that she did not have those hypocrisy.

But when he walked to a restaurant, Cao Xian stopped.

"Hey!"

"This 'Tianjia Restaurant' is still there."

"Guess the lantern riddle—"

Cao Xian looked up, thinking of the past, turned his head and rushed to Cheng Jing, Wei Feifei, Cao Yi, and Cao Shu and said with a smile: "When I first came to Xijing Mansion, there was this Tianjia restaurant and lantern riddles, and Cao Liang and I also guessed one by one!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"The eldest sister guessed that 'the feet are small, and the legs are high.'" Wear a red hat, wear a white robe, guess an animal,."

"The question I guess is, 'If you can't enter the water, guess a word,'" ….

Cao Liang was eighteen years old and only six years old at the time, but he still remembers the two lantern riddles he guessed with his eldest sister at that time: "My eldest sister and I are illiterate, but the fifth brother told us the answer to the riddle and asked us to answer it, and we got two lanterns, which are still at home."

Cao Liang's memory is too good, and his mouth is too fast.

Cao Xian slapped him and was speechless for a while: "You can't read!"

"Haha!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Cao Xian was thick-skinned and didn't care, she approached Cao Xin and asked, "Will you participate in the 'martial arts conference' in July next year?"

"Not participating."

Cao Xin shook his head.

He is busy with affairs, how can he have that idle time.

"Afraid of what?"

"You don't have four or six all day, what a good experience and opportunity to make a name!"

"If you come back with a leader, let's

Isn't the Cao family developed?"

Cao Xian pouted.

"No, no!"

"The leader will give it to you!"

Cao Xin still shook his head.

"Not going?"

Cao Xian asked.

"No, no, no."

After getting an affirmative answer from Cao Xin, Cao Xian smiled in her heart, as long as the fifth child does not go, she will be sure to take down the leader of the 'martial arts conference' next year, achieve two consecutive championships, and be prosperous for another year.

But she didn't show it on her face, pretending to be helpless: "Okay, okay. So what are you going to do next year? Have a baby?"

"Am I next year?"

Cao Xin grinned at Cao Xian: "Take over as the head of Qishan."

"What?"

Cao Xian's eyes widened, stunned on the spot.

……

The end of the year is joyful.

Joy is someone else's.

Cao Xian was full of sorrow.

I thought that after she, the senior sister of the Qishan faction, won the leader of the 'Second Xijing Mansion Martial Arts Competition, the position of the head of the Qishan faction would naturally fall to her in the future.

But who wants!

Cao Xin intervened.

Although she is still young, a decade or two later, it will also be the year of fighting.

But at that time, could she still be cheeky to take over her brother's class?

Qishan master!

No chance in this life!

Cao Xian was depressed.

But no one in Caojiazhuang cares about her, whether it is her or Cao Xin, the head of Qishan, the meat is rotten in the pot, there is no difference.

Thereupon.

It's time to eat, it's time to drink.

It's lively and joyful.

The fourteenth year of Qianyou passed quietly in a peaceful and festive atmosphere.

Next year.

Change the yuan's heavenly grant,.

It is the first year of heaven.

……

Heading into the new year.

The Shenhou Mansion made full efforts, and the first martial arts conference entered the stage of publicity and distribution in full swing, and it was overwhelming with relevant news.

The rivers and lakes are boiling.

Compare it to.

The news that Cao Xin took over the Qishan faction from Ren Sanbu and became the tenth head of the sect is insignificant.

In this atmosphere.

The Qishan faction made a stable transition.

Cao Xinren was in the Qishan faction, but as in previous years, he was still operating on multiple lines.

Running the Qishan faction is one of them.

Preparing and operating the martial arts conference is also a serious and important matter.

The plan for the 'martial arts journal' is also being perfected and prepared.

Of course.

More importantly, it is one's own practice and the preparation of 'Mithril' and 'Pure Gold'.

Practice. ….

"Moon Art Chapter" is the foundation, level 20 is capped, and the internal force has also encountered bottlenecks, but it still needs to be studied and practiced diligently, and strive for perfection in order to go further.

"Chongyang real people do not advance but retreat, maybe there is an age factor."

"I'm young."

"With perseverance, after twenty or thirty years, maybe you can make a logical breakthrough."

Cao Xin never slackened.

Not only "Moon Technique", not only internal force.

Based on the strong internal force, he studied Qishan martial arts in the Qishan faction, and collected divine skills through the Shenhou Mansion, dabbling in them one by one, not seeking to be proficient, but to increase his knowledge.

Major.

It's still 'Chess Immortal Nine Techniques,.

At present, what he has already obtained is the 'Moon Technique,' the 'Death Technique,' and the 'Sickness Technique,'.

The previous one has already reached the top.

The last two are still in the process of being enlightened.

Slow progress.

But there is a panel that can add a little bottom, and this is not in a hurry.

Cao Xin is ready to comprehend first, and how much he can comprehend.

As for the plus points.

Don't panic at first.

He was going to try it on the eldest brother and second brother first.

Every miller draws water to his own mill.

The eldest brother has no intention of martial arts.

The second brother has ambitions, but he is determined to be in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't care if his martial arts are earned by his own hard work.

In the future, even if it is found that there are drawbacks in [Dianhua], such as overdraft potential, lock up limit, etc., it will not hinder it, anyway, the two of them are not very enterprising.

It's not just them.

Cheng Jing.

Cao Liang.

Even Cao Zhang's.

As long as they can comprehend the 'Nine Techniques, Fur, Cao Xin's empty hand, you can give them a little bit.

However, in addition to these more salty relatives, Cao Xin is also ready to give it a try on Chongyang Zhenren.

This is the Grand Master.

has been immersed in Yin on the way to martial arts for more than 100 years, and it is not at all comparable to Cao Ren and others.

Let him comprehend the Nine Arts.

Nine Techniques Stack.

A door of magic is added.

Let's see if we can break through.

It can also be regarded as a way for yourself.

Of course, 'the magic is refined, and it can't be left behind.'

Chongyang real people studied on Wanshou Island.

Cao Xin also observes the new world every day and learns hard.

Even if there are very few people who can steal more than an hour a day, or even all nonsense, they don't get anything.

But over time-

Five years.

Decade.

It can always gather sand into a tower.

……

Time passed in such a hectic way.

The world is invincible.

Cao Xin didn't pursue much.

While enjoying a comfortable life, accompanying his wife and family, he studied martial arts, practiced magic skills, and sought breakthroughs.

For Cao Xin.

Every bit of progress is inspiring and joyful.

Time is not valuable.

He was too young.

But for Chongyang Zhenren, every minute and every second is life.

……

The years are not with me, and the time is like a rush.

There is no reversal, and it is rare and easy to lose.

In a flash, twenty years.

……

"It's finished!"

On Wanshou Island, there was the laughter of Chongyang real people.

Yamanaka.

Dongfu.

Cao Xin looked at the dozen or so grains of 'fine gold' prepared by Chongyang Zhenren, and he also had great joy in his heart.

'Mithril, nine years.

'Pure gold, twelve years.

After twenty-one years, 'Mithril,' and 'Adamantine,' these two difficult bones were finally conquered and successfully refined by him and Chongyang Zhenren. ….

In the future.

Then with 'Adamantite,' 'Mithril,' as the main material, supplemented by other ordinary materials, you can refine other instruments and equipment by yourself.

Wait until the instruments are ready, and then start refining the 'ritual circle,'.

Great things can be done.

Four steps have already been completed by two steps.

"Give some time, in another ten years, the old Taoist is sure that he will be able to refine the 'ritual array'."

"Oh no!"

"Time is not with me!"

Chongyang Zhenren is also playing with 'fine gold,,There is infinite longing in his eyes.

But—

Cao Xin looked.

I saw the Chongyang real person who used to have a childish face, but now the childlike face is no longer there, the white hair is withered, and the body is full of twilight and death, which is rich to the extreme.

Count the days.

This old man is now 153 years old, which is an incredible age.

Over the years—

Menates.

Death.

Surgery.

Including the 'flower technique,' the wind technique,.

and 'Shou Shiqing's Tune

Body Method,.

Chongyang real people participated in enlightenment and practice one by one, and Cao Xin took turns to enlighten him.

Extend life and live again.

But there are limits.

Twenty years later.

One hundred and fifty-three years old.

At the moment when the 'pure gold' was finally refined, Chongyang Zhenren aged rapidly, and the deadline finally arrived.

At this moment.

Internal force.

Miraculous.

Pills.

It's all useless.

No matter how difficult it is to continue life, it is difficult to go against the sky.

"Real people—"

Cao Xin looked at the Chongyang real-life hero Chi Dusk, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

In the past 20 years, Chongyang Zhenren has devoted himself to the refining of 'Mithril,' and 'Pure Gold'.

In summary.

Complete the second step.

I haven't waited for an opportunity to break through, but I want to die.

It's a pity.

On this day, I am afraid that Chongyang Zhenren had expected it a few years ago, but he still tried his best, and he may have been ready to make wedding dresses for others a long time ago.

Cao Xin was inevitably touched.

"It doesn't have to be that way."

"Time is also fate, and no one can help it."

Is Chongyang real person regretful?

Of course he regretted it.

Twenty years, empty hatred.

It is clear that he has seen hope, but because of the limit, because of life and death, he can only look at the ocean and sigh.

Who doesn't hate?

It's a pity that hate is useless.

"I just hope that on the day when Xiaoyou breaks through the heavens and ascends to the immortal realm, he will burn some paper money, so that he can teach the old Tao to be happy and happy."

Chongyang Zhenren was holding the pure gold, and his breath gradually weakened.

Cao Xin took two steps forward and said in a deep voice, "Do you still have something to hand to Qingyang Palace?"

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

"Let them be."

Chongyang Zhenren's eyelids closed, and there was no sound.

The demon monk flower is flawless
