After returning to the sect, the five people rested for a few days, and then they all gathered in Qian Chao's residence, or practiced for a while according to the formation when the five people broke through the small five levels, until the last Qian Chao, which had the worst spiritual root, could not support it, and when they rested, the five people drank tea in Qian Chao's small courtyard, and this time Qian Chao also let go, and took out the bag of spiritual tea that Mr. Zhuang gave to share with everyone.

The reason why the five of them have to practice here in Qian Chao every time they practice is because there is a room under Qian Chao's house, and the formation they use for cultivation is still strictly kept secret, so practicing here in Qian Chao can always hide people's eyes and ears and not be discovered.

In addition, the formation of the five people also has a name, called "Five Elements Lingxiu Formation", and this name is still given by Tang Ping.

"Hmmm! This tea is really good, Qian boy, does that old man Zhuang still have this kind of spiritual tea, next time you see him, get more of it! ”

Tang Ping held the teacup and said, as soon as Qian Chao's tea was cooked, the tea in the courtyard was full of fragrance, ethereal and distant, and all the hearts of several people were hooked at once, Li Jian is also a tea lover, and it was very surprising to be able to drink such a spiritual tea, even Lu Pingchuan, who has always been indispensable to spiritual tea, also snorted vigorously and inhaled.

"This is Mr. Zhuang's own spiritual tea, who knows if he can ask for some next time he sees him." Qian Chao said.

"By the way, Ah Ping, I met Senior Brother Xu Sheng outside a few days ago, and he said that Senior Gu Shou is coming back soon, so are you coming back now?"

Yan Xuan asked Tang Ping, her original intention was to know when the seniors who were sent out would return, she was thinking about the Zhong Yao senior, as long as the Zhong seniors returned, then the matter of her apprenticeship should also be settled.

"Not yet, my senior sister Ruoyu told me that the seniors sent out did not come back all at once, it seemed that they were returning little by little, and they had to keep an eye on whether Mu Yangzong really did it according to the agreement with us, and always maintain pressure on them, although Mu Yangzong lost this time, but because there was no real fight, they were defeated, and there were even tougher people within Mu Yangzong who were very unconvinced, shouting that they wanted to fight with us. Maybe that's why those seniors haven't come back yet. ”

"Then ......," Yan Xuan said worriedly, "will there be another dispute?" ”

"No, if we can really fight, they won't sit down with us to talk, now, what those seniors are wary of is not that the Muyang Sect as a whole is against us again, but that a small number of them are secretly making trouble, and the news that comes back is that we are going to catch one or two Muyang Sect monks who are secretly making trouble, and beat the arrogance of those people."

"That's right."

"That's right, so my master hasn't come back until now, but in the past few days, the gate of my master's cave is so lively, almost every day there are people to visit, I and Senior Sister Ruoyu have no leisure at all, they are all people from families who come from outside the sect, some are brought by the seniors in the sect, and some feel that they have a close relationship with my master and go directly to the door, alas, we say that the master is not in the sect, many people still don't believe it, and it takes half a day to send away, and the skin of the mouth is about to wear out."

Qian Chao smiled and said:

"Didn't you say that you were a closed disciple of Gu Shou's senior? Why do anyone still want to worship under the disciple of Gu Huo's predecessors, and want to be your junior brother and sister? ”

Tang Ping said helplessly:

"My master didn't say this in front of those people, how can they know, of course, not all the people who come to visit are planning to let their children worship under my master, and there are also those who want to worship other seniors in the sect as teachers, thinking that my master will come forward to help introduce them, in short, the reasons are varied, and the gifts are piled up in a big pile, and the master is not there, and I can't open it to see what good things are."

When Tang Ping said this, Yan Xuan nodded and said:

"Well, Qixia Mountain has also had a lot of people come out recently, you can see a lot of faces on the road casually, it is estimated that they all came because of the 'Grace Test' a year later, yesterday I was alchemy in Nanyutang, it was so lively, many newcomers didn't understand the rules, they talked loudly inside, noisy and shouting, and finally forced Senior Brother Mi to start driving people out."

"Most of the children of the family who came to make up for the 'Grace Test' were Jiuxuan, Qixia Mountain and Shuiyun Valley, and it is estimated that there are very few people who go to Houtu Temple and Mu Xiufeng, or no, after all, ordinary families are still mainly based on Xuan Xiu, and physical cultivation and sword cultivation are still too rare."

"Hehe, even if there are a few more people in the Houtu Temple, the place is so big, I can't see it at all, I don't think there are any living people in the past few days." Lu Pingchuan said while holding the teacup.

"Mu Xiufeng also has someone to go," Li Jian said, "It's not one person, it's two, a pair of brothers and sisters, oh, Brother Lu, we also saw that pair of brothers and sisters when we killed that mandrill outside." ”

"Oh, I didn't pay attention."

Money tide says:

"Jiuxuan is the most popular, this must not be wrong, these days Jiuxuan is more lively than other places of you, usually the senior brothers who are responsible for some of Jiuxuan's daily affairs are very busy, there are too many people, we have to keep finding a place for them to settle down, alas, those people, many of them are used to living in their own homes, and they are very dissatisfied with the residence of the Jiuxuan Qi refining disciples, or they feel cramped or uncomfortable, and they are clamoring to change to a comfortable place to live, making those senior brothers all big, Two days ago, I saw a senior brother Zang who couldn't help but scold a child of a family who had just arrived, but the other party was actually more powerful than him, but instead told Senior Brother Zang that he was going to find a senior to sue, saying that he would drive Senior Brother Zang out of the Five Spirits Sect, ha! ”

"And then?" Lu Pingchuan listened interestingly, so he asked.

"Later, Senior Brother Zang didn't care about it directly, and he was so angry that he shook his hand and left."

"They are all children of some big families who have been overly arrogant, how can the children of ordinary small families dare to do this when they enter the Five Spirits Sect." Tang Ping said.

Qian Chao suddenly smiled and said:

"Well, just yesterday, there were people who somehow ran to me, and after coming in, they didn't speak, and they didn't even pay attention to me, so they went around my yard back and forth, looked carefully, and went to the room to see, I was drunk, I was not alone, Ma Hu came to talk to me, and the two of us looked at the man dumbfounded, and finally the man had seen enough, and seemed to be very satisfied with my yard, and then there he ...... Just sat down in Brother Lu's position, and asked me with a full spirit, how many spirit stones are I willing to give up this mansion to him......

"What!" Tang Ping was surprised.

"It's too much...... Yan Xuan said.

"That kid came early, he should come today......" Lu Pingchuan said.

"And then?" Li Jian asked.

Qian Chao smiled:

"Later, before I could speak, Ma Hu had a seizure, and the tea splashed the man's face, grabbed the man's ear and threw it out......"

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

"Who let the Jiuxuan disciples live like a birdcage one by one, as far as you are spacious and comfortable here, your mansion is the best house that the Qi refining disciples in the Jiuxuan can live in, right?"

"Well, pretty much."

……

When the five people were talking and laughing, there was a voice from the courtyard gate:

"Oh, it's all here, that's great!"

The five people followed the sound and looked over, and two women walked in at the door, it was Luo Ying and Wen Yuan.

"Hmm...... What a fragrant tea! Qian boy, you are amazing, you can get such good tea, quickly, pour tea for the two of us. ”

Yan Xuan pulled Lu Pingchuan and gave up his position, and then Luo Ying pulled Wen Yuan to sit down.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Tang Ping asked unceremoniously.

"It's not coming for you, you just have to listen with your ears." Luo Ying also replied unceremoniously.

A new cup of hot tea, full of aroma, was placed in front of Luo Ying and Wen Yuan.

"Well, that's good tea!" Luo Ying took a sip, and Wen Yuan nodded frequently.

"Two senior sisters......"

Qian Chao spoke, but was interrupted by Luo Ying as soon as he spoke.

"Qian boy, of course there is something important to find you today, this matter, originally a few of us were a little hesitant, but then I finally made up my mind, and then I have to discuss with a few of you, I know that the five of you have something to decide together, and it is impossible to discuss with you alone, so it is really a good opportunity for the five of you to be here today."

"What is Senior Sister Luo talking about?" Qian Chao asked.

"That's right, Money Boy, the five of us want to work with the five of you......"

Speaking of this, Luo Ying stopped and looked at Qian Chao and the others.

"Cooperation?" Money tide road.

"How to cooperate?" Tang Ping said.

"Eh, you've said it all, otherwise who will understand." Wen Yuan said beside Luo Ying.

"Listen to me in detail," Luo Ying continued, "Originally, I didn't have this plan, but the last time I was at Ma Hu's place, when Yan Shuang went to visit Ma Hu, Qian boy, you and Senior Sister Wen exchanged some ideas after the Fu Zheng Zhi operation, well, do you remember Wen Zhang?" ”

Wen Zhang, Wen Yuan's cousin, Wen Mian's grandson, the five of them naturally remember him, if there were no him and Han Jin, how could the five of them encounter An Zhen and Dong Cheng and others chasing and killing.

"Of course I do." Qian Chao replied, curious in his heart, why did Senior Sister Luo mention Wenzhang when she said she wanted to cooperate?

When it comes to Wenzhang, Wenyuan interface said:

"We went out once, to open a ruin, but that time our purpose was leaked by my uncompetitive brother, and when we went out, we were followed by many people in the sect, and we couldn't get rid of them, and in the end, we had no choice but to design to lure those people out and fight, that time...... There were a lot of dead people, oh, before we went out that time, we also asked Senior Brother Qian to refine an object to open the ruins formation, remember? ”

"Of course I remember, well, what we heard is that among the ruins that Senior Sister Luo and Senior Sister Wen are going to open, there seems to be a kind of treasure called 'Sea Essence Jade Lamp', right?" Qian Chao said.

After hearing this, Luo Ying said:

"That's right, that time. Well, that ruin, we finally opened it secretly, and we did find a 'sea marucinate jade lamp', but unfortunately, there was nothing wrong with that lamp, but the lamp oil was only a little bit, and it was not enough for us to use. ”

"Then ......" Qian Chao didn't understand what Luo Ying wanted to say.

"Then what do you want us to work with?" Tang Ping asked very dryly.

"Cooperation, of course, continue to look for the treasures in the ruins," Luo Ying said, "Boy Qian, I can see from the formation you arranged during the tide of Cold Spring Valley that you have a lot of research on spiritual veins, and I think you probably found some ruins with this, so you can have your current achievements in the study of runes, right?" ”

Qian Chao nodded, Luo Ying's guess was indeed true.

"Well, I really didn't guess wrong, but even if you can find the ruins through the spiritual veins, it will be hard and time-consuming; Second, it's likely to be empty. Do you know, there are a lot of relics outside the sect that I have in my hands, believe it or not? Luo Ying said.

"So what, even if you know more, it's not like we can't find it, we can open it if we find it." Tang Ping said.

At this time, Tang Ping probably guessed Luo Ying's thoughts, it must be that Luo Ying knows a lot of relics, but limited by her formation technique, even if she knows where there are ruins, but she can't open them all, so she came to Qian Chao to seek cooperation, that is, Luo Ying and others provide the location of the ruins, but the ruins must be something she can't open, and then the so-called cooperation is to open it with the help of Qian Chao's hand, and how to distribute what is found in the ruins is the most critical, so Tang Ping deliberately showed no interest in what Luo Ying said at this time. I just want to have an advantage over this distribution.

"Hah!" Luo Ying smiled, "Twelve months a year, it seems that the five of you go out once a month, even if you can find one relic every month, you can only find twelve ruins a year, and what you find is not necessarily the ruins left after the demise of the previous great family, right?" ”

Tang Ping didn't give an inch, sighed deliberately, and said:

"So what, anyway, a few of us have just refined the middle level of qi, don't worry, let alone find twelve relics a year, even if we only find six in a year, it is enough for us to practice, Senior Sister Luo, you should know, we are no longer sent from the Honorable Yuan when we go out now, right?"

Tang Ping knew that since Luo Ying took the initiative to come to the door, it must be that she had to use a few of her own people or just rely on Qian Chao's place to be bigger, otherwise this Luo Ying, who is very arrogant on weekdays, would not take the initiative to come to the door to mention any cooperation, so she focused on pointing out in her words that several of her people were just middle-level Qi refining cultivators, and they were not in a hurry, which was equivalent to pointing out what the other party was anxious about now, that is, now Luo Ying's five people are already high-level Qi refining cultivators, compared to Qian Chao's five people, Luo Ying's five people are more concerned about and value the foundation.

What's more, the relics found by Qian Chao in recent times are really good, and the five people are full of harvest, so Tang Ping really doesn't pay much attention to the cooperation Luo Ying said.

Luo Ying was obviously at a disadvantage at this time, she didn't expect this soup girl to be so sharp, as soon as she opened her mouth to mention the matter of cooperation, she saw through it, and now if she mentions cooperation, it will definitely be a loss, so she glared at her eyes angrily, stared at Qian Chao and said angrily:

"Why don't you speak!"

"Uh...... Hehe, "Of course Qian Chao understands what's going on, but at this time, he can only speak by Tang Ping, if he speaks, he will inevitably be subject to Luo Ying, so he only smiled and hid his hand in his sleeve, and said: "We have different division of labor, we do many things, and Tang Yatou is moving." ”

The meaning is obvious, that is, cooperation, yes, but the conditions still have to be discussed by Tang Ping.

"Hmph, cunning boy, let's go!"

Luo Ying was about to get up and leave, but was pulled back by Wen Yuan:

"You, we have all discussed how to cooperate with Senior Brother Qian, why did you come here and say a few words before you leave? Senior Sister Tang, don't be too-for-tat, what we talked about today is good for us. ”

Tang Ping said:

"It's still Senior Sister Wen who is talking, so Senior Sister Wen will tell me what are the benefits of both of us, right?"

"The benefits, first, if there are things like spirit stones in the open ruins, we will divide them equally."

"Hmm."

"Second, among the five of us, there are no alchemists, and there are no refiners, so all such classics found in the ruins belong to you."

"Hmm."

"Third, among the ruins, everything related to the foundation building, such as the treasure of the 'Sea Solid Jade Lamp', is completely ours."

"Oh?" Tang Ping looked at Wen Yuan with some puzzlement, and Wen Yuan waved his hand to signal Tang Ping to continue listening to her.

"Fourth, once we build the foundation, the so-called ruins of the Qi refining disciples outside the sect will be of no use to us, and we will tell you the location of all the ruins we know, and you will continue to search, no matter what you find in it, it has nothing to do with us, it is all yours."

"Oh." Tang Ping nodded.

"How about it, are you still satisfied with this condition?" Luo Ying said angrily to Tang Ping.

"Eh, Senior Sister Luo has already made it clear, why do you have to take care of us in the first place?"

Wen Yuan hurriedly interrupted the two and said:

"I've just talked about the benefits for both of us, and I'm going to talk about the trouble that cooperating with us may cause you."

"Will there be any trouble?"

"Of course there is, since the incident that Wen Zhang made trouble for us, and then went out many times, we can always feel that someone is following us behind, we have looked for it, and we have seen it from afar, but we can't completely shake them off, so we have to go out a few circles now to confirm whether there is a tail behind, the five of us have offended a lot of people because of the opening of the ruins, although we are not afraid of them, but we are always remembered by those people. The five of you don't have this problem at all, but cooperating with us is likely to involve you in this trouble, so whether it is good or trouble, I have to explain it to you, and then you can think about it. ”

After Wen Yuan finished speaking, he looked at the five of them calmly.

"Senior Sister Wen, I want to ask, why do you have to look for something like the 'Sea Essence Jade Lamp'? I've heard of this lamp, and it seems to be good for building foundations, but it's not clear what exactly it can do. Qian Chao interjected and asked.

"It's not about building a foundation." Wen Yuan replied.

"Isn't there a Tsukidan?" Yan Xuan said curiously, for Luo Ying's five people, it was not difficult to get the Tsukidan at all.

"Tsukidan is useful, but there are also shortcomings, for example, if you can't break through the bottleneck after taking Tsukidan, then you can't continue to take it for at least a year, otherwise it will be harmful to yourself, you will know this in the future, although there is always a time to break through Tsukidan when you take Tsukidan every year, but it's not as real as having a 'sea marucinate jade lamp', this' The 'Tsumi Jade Lamp' is generally not used alone, but if you take the Tsukuji Dan and then use this lamp, it will inevitably build the foundation, which is why we attach so much importance to the 'Tsukutsu Jade Lamp'. Wen Yuan said.

"So......" Qian Chao didn't finish his words, but he guessed that these five people probably had already had a failed foundation building experience.

Luo Ying opened her mouth and said:

"This foundation building varies from person to person, there is that talented, you don't even need to build a foundation, when you meditate, you will naturally build a foundation, which is enviable! However, for most people, it is inseparable from this elixir, and if the breakthrough fails after taking Tsukidan for the first time, after a year, if you want to try to break through the bottleneck again, one Tsukidan is not enough, you need two, alas, the third time you need more......"

Luo Ying's face was a little ugly when she said this, among the five of them, Luo Ying had secretly taken Tsukidan twice in a row, and she was still sitting here, as you can imagine, those two attempts to build a foundation failed. And the reason why Luo Ying is like this, not for anything else, it is also embarrassing to say, this woman is doing this because of love, Qian Chao knows that this senior sister Luo Ying has always been very fond of Brother Xu Bo in the inner hall of Chengqi Hall, but Xu Bo was scared away by her, and took the initiative to ask the sect to send a dispatch, and avoided Luo Ying from afar, which made her sad and unconvinced, so she thought about building the foundation early and then going to find that Xu Bo, but after two consecutive foundation building failures, she never dared to try again, and she needed four Zhuji Dan for the next time she built the foundation, Although he was able to get the elixir, he had failed twice, and he had a shadow in his heart, and he had no courage to try again, so he planned to find the "Sea Solid Jade Lamp" to assist him in building a foundation.

Luo Ying didn't hide this from her companions around her, Lu Shuang, Wen Yuan and others knew about it, because of what happened to Luo Ying, these people were also a little afraid of building the foundation, and they were always worried that they would fail, so they all worked hard to find the "sea cloud jade grease lamp" from the ruins.

Tang Ping and Qian Chao glanced at each other, and they both understood that the other party had guessed what was going on, but they didn't know the reason.

However...... "Sea Cumber Jade Lamp" actually has such benefits!

Wenwen Yuan's explanation, not to mention Qian Chao's heartbeat, even Tang Ping, Yan Xuan and others are excited.

Who can guarantee that you will succeed with a foundation building pill when you build your foundation!

As for the troubles that Wen Yuan just said, Qian Chao himself is in constant trouble now, and he doesn't need to go out to find trouble, and the trouble will come by himself.

As for Tang Ping, it is the most troublesome one, but now the secret of her spiritual root is not known to outsiders, otherwise it will be the biggest trouble, compared to it, she doesn't care about the trouble that Wen Yuan said at all.

Yan Xuan and Li Jian are both obsessed with their respective families, if they can build a foundation, they can rush home to save their relatives, that is their biggest wish over the years, so they don't care about any trouble.

As for Lu Pingchuan, he is not afraid of any trouble, he is someone else's trouble, what do he care!

"One more thing......" Tang Ping asked with some hesitation, "What if we open all the relics you know and don't have what you want?" Looks like we're at a loss that way......"

Luo Yingqi said:

"Nonsense, based on what Senior Sister Wen said just now, even if you really open those ruins, will you suffer?"

"Senior Sister Tang!" Wen Yuan also said angrily, "If the five of us are really unlucky, we don't need to practice anymore, I know what you're worried about, don't worry, then the 'Sea Cloud Jade Fat Lamp' only one of the five of us is enough, and then we will retreat and break through the bottleneck of foundation building, as long as we can build a foundation, then what we promised you before will be fulfilled immediately, how about it?" ”

Hearing this, Tang Ping stopped talking, but looked at a few companions.

Yan Xuan nodded to her and motioned for her to agree.

Li Jian is the same.

Lu Pingchuan said: "Hehe, Sister Tang is in charge, I will listen to you." ”

And Qian Chao asked Wen Yuan again:

"How many relics does Senior Sister have in her hands?"

"There are more than 30 places that we know but can't open, and there is a good chance that that kind of treasure is hidden in these more than 30 ruins."

When Qian Chao heard this, he also nodded to Tang Ping.

Seeing Qian Chao nodding, Tang Ping said:

"Okay, we've agreed, when will it start?"

Wen Yuan stopped talking, but Luo Ying stretched out a hand.

Tang Ping understood.

"Smack" and the two hands hit together!
