now

Somewhere in the mountains behind Qingshi Village.

Yi Heng had just beaten a second-level beast soldier of the reckless pig half to death, and fell to the ground dying, he immediately half-squatted down and pressed his palm on the pig's head.

The Dragon Source Technique was cast instantly, the dragon pattern seal fluoresced for a flash, and then a huge suction force was formed, and the fiery demon yuan power in Mang Pig's body quickly converged towards the pig's head, and then went straight to the back of his head along his entire arm, and finally all poured into the dragon pattern seal.

Feeling the slight swelling and tingling of his arm, Yi Heng's expression was slightly condensed, but he was not the slightest nervous, he had long been used to it these days.

The power of the demon yuan was already extremely violent, if it weren't for the fact that he already had the physical body realm at the peak of the triple quenching realm, his expression would not be so indifferent at this moment.

He hadn't forgotten the embarrassed appearance he had when he first absorbed the power of the Demon Yuan ten days ago, if it weren't for the fact that he was determined enough to persist at that time, and successfully survived the first three or four days of intensive refining, then his current physical body realm would definitely not reach the peak of the triple quenching realm.

Fortunately, all the efforts were worth it, and the dragon scale golden body trick did not disappoint him.

Under the effect of strong suction, the power of the demon yuan in Mangzhu's body was quickly absorbed, and at the same time, a torrent-like golden energy slowly emanated from the dragon pattern seal, which was the power of dragon scales.

Yi Heng looked overjoyed, and hurriedly sat cross-legged, and the dragon scale golden body technique followed, only to see that the power of the golden dragon scales instantly wrapped his whole body, and finally disappeared into his body along the pores of his skin.

The energy entered the body, like a golden light bath, and his delicate and handsome face suddenly glowed with a faint golden luster, shining brightly.

Under the nourishment and tempering of the power of the dragon scales, his muscles, bones and tendons were constantly strengthened, the muscles and muscles were stronger, the veins were more resilient, and the physical realm was slowly improved......

However, the power of the demon element of the second-level beast soldier is really limited, and the power of the dragon scales produced after transformation is naturally not too much.

"Whew~" Yi Heng exhaled lightly, and quickly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light flashed in his eyes.

Feeling that the increase at this moment was no longer obvious, he shook it with a wry smile, "It seems that next time we will at least absorb the third-level beast soldiers, if we can absorb the fourth-level or even the fifth-level beast soldiers." ”

It's a pity that with his current strength, he can't hunt beast soldiers above the third level at all, and what's even more unfortunate is that the power of the demon yuan in the body of the dead demon beast will completely dissipate in less than a quarter of an hour, otherwise he can go to the demon beast square to buy some and come back and slowly cultivate.

"You have to find a way, otherwise if you continue like this, not only will your physical ascension be slow, but it will also be a waste of time." Yi Heng muttered to himself, and then got up to leave.

……

He soon met Zhao Hu and Yan Peng at the pre-agreed location, and then the three of them went to the town's branch of the Urban Construction Guild, an official body of the empire that was mainly responsible for the certification and approval of various types of urban construction.

Hundreds of large towns in Luoning County will set up such branch offices.

The construction and trading of manors also required the approval of the Urban Construction Association, otherwise it would be seen as a contempt for imperial decrees, and could result in imprisonment and fines, or outright punishment.

Nowadays, the martial arts are prosperous, and the trade industry is also prosperous, and the manor industry occupies a very large proportion of the trade industry.

Manor buildings are not only used for enjoyment or shelter from the wind and rain, but more often must also have a defensive effect against the attacks of warriors or monsters.

In addition to being extremely solid, the walls of the manor must also be set up with an extremely strong defensive formation, as long as the source stones to maintain the formation are sufficient, they can continue to resist.

This kind of manor is extremely popular with martial artists, and ordinary people even dream of owning one like this.

Because of this, the average estate is worth a lot of money.

According to the information he sent people these days, the total amount of manor transactions in Los Angeles in the past year was as high as more than 30 billion source stones, which was equivalent to more than 30 trillion source coins, which was an extremely staggering number.

The manor industry is a piece of fat, and he has been eyeing it for a long time.

However, he came here today, not to meddle in the manor industry, but to apply for the purchase of a small manor as a station.

He also has his subordinates now, so he can't even have a decent station.

He knows very well that even if a person's strength reaches the peak, it is still limited, and if he wants to grow infinitely, he must rely on the strength of the group, especially when his cultivation is still too weak now, of course he has to borrow external forces to protect himself.

So he was ready to form a faction, a private force that was completely under his control.

As for whether to enter the manor industry in the future, then let's talk about it in the future, after all, the road has to be taken step by step, and the food has to be eaten one bite at a time, and it is not so easy to get involved in the manor industry, at least he does not have that strength now.

To buy a manor, you need to get a house purchase certificate from the Urban Construction Association first.

Today, there are many warriors who came to the Urban Construction Association to apply for a house purchase certificate, Yi Heng arranged for Yan Peng to be responsible for handling it, and he walked around the Urban Construction Association accompanied by Zhao Hu.

A quarter of an hour later, Yan Peng successfully got the purchase certificate, and the three of them immediately transferred to Huayang New District.

Huayang New District is located in the north of Yuangu Town, on the edge of the Qingyun Mountains, which is a large manor cluster area newly built in Yuangu Town in recent years, covering an extremely wide area, accounting for nearly one-tenth of the size of Yuangu Town.

Because of its extremely advantageous geographical location and extremely developed commerce, Huayang New Area is also known as the rich area in Yuangu Town, where some of the top local families and many foreign forces have their own industries.

The estates in Huayang New Area are mainly divided into one-star to three-star grades, with three-star being the highest, followed by two-star, but most of the estates here are one-star levels, and there are fewer two-star levels.

As for the three-star manors, there are no more than ten in the entire Huayang New District.

Those who can be called star-rated manors must at least have super defensive power that can withstand the full attack of the sevenfold innate realm powerhouse without breaking it, and of course, the price is also extremely expensive.

Buying a one-star manor is the purpose of Yi Heng's coming here today.

Ministry of Commerce of Huayang New Area.

Under the warm reception of the two beautiful sales ladies, Yi Heng paid 6,300 source stones in full at one time, and classified a one-star manor covering an area of more than 50,000 square meters under his name.

"Master Haoyu, this is your manor jade card, and this manor will belong to you in the future." One of the sales ladies bowed slightly and handed a white exclusive jade plate to Yi Heng.

Another sales lady said warmly and respectfully: "The jade card is mainly used to control the defensive formation in the manor, all the information about the manor, you can check it in the jade card, the jade card also has a communication function, if you have any needs, you can inform us through the jade card communication, we will serve you wholeheartedly twenty-four hours a day." ”

Yi Heng nodded slightly, and took the jade plate casually, the jade plate was warm and small, like a piece of exquisite workmanship.

"Is there only one jade plaque? What happens if it's lost or damaged? Yi Heng saw that there was only one jade plate, and couldn't help but ask.

The sales lady smiled and said: "It's such a child, in order to ensure the uniqueness of the delivery of the manor, so only one piece of the jade plate was made, but please rest assured, if the jade plate is accidentally lost or damaged, we will reproduce it for you with your consent." ”

She paused slightly, and said: "But because it is not easy to copy the jade plate, so you need to charge a certain additional fee, of course, if you need it, we can help you place an order now, and then make an appointment for you to copy, and now place an order to make an appointment, you can also enjoy a nine-percent discount." ”

The sales lady had an eager look on her face, wishing that Yi Heng would place an order now, so that they could naturally get more commission income.

If you don't place an order now, you will generally not be able to place another order in the future.

After all, the possibility of losing or losing a jade plaque like this is almost zero, and if it really happens, it is likely that the owner has already encountered an accident.

Yi Heng glanced at the sales lady with a smile, and secretly said that this manor builder is quite good at playing, and he really doesn't let go of any oil and water.

As for what is said to ensure the uniqueness of the delivery of the manor, it is pure deception.

However, Yi Heng didn't care about this, and asked directly: "What is the price of copying a jade plate?" ”

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, as long as twenty source stones can be copied one, if you copy more than three pieces, you can also enjoy a 20% discount, it's a good deal." The sales lady hurriedly said happily.

"Okay, then make three more copies." Yi Heng Road.

"Well, okay, I'll make an appointment for you later, and then I'll arrange for the formation master to come to your door to help you copy." The sales lady said respectfully, smiling very sweetly.

Yi Heng nodded and paid ten source stones as a deposit.

Then Yi Heng took Zhao Hu and Yan Peng back to the manor, and asked the two to hang up the gate plaque that had been prepared long ago.

On the plaque, the three big characters of 'Xingyuan Pavilion' suddenly came into view, and in the lower right corner of the plaque were marked with the small characters of 'Division No. 7'.

Yi Heng deliberately named this place as the 'No. 7' station, which made people feel that this was not the first branch, so as to confuse the public and mislead others.

Looking at the plaque on the gate, Zhao Hu and Yan Peng glanced at each other a little strangely, as if something was wrong.

Yan Peng couldn't help but said: "Yu Shao, wouldn't it be a little hasty to directly list the plaque like this, won't we hold some banquets or something to celebrate the housewarming?" ”

Generally speaking, whenever a major force establishes a branch or adds a new station, it will feast and celebrate with great fanfare, so as to make good connections or quickly become famous.

Like Yi Heng, who directly hung a plaque, it was the first time they had seen each other.

Yi Heng smiled and shook his head, he naturally knew the doubts in Zhao Hu and Yan Peng's hearts, so he said: "I am also a newcomer to Yuangu Town, the foundation is not stable, there is no need to make everyone know, everything should be low-key, understand." ”

"Yu Shao is wise!" Zhao Hu and Yan Peng suddenly came to their senses, and hurriedly said in unison.

They were even faintly excited and excited at the moment, Yi Heng said very clearly, he was a newcomer now, his foundation was unstable, and now he was building a new branch in Yuangu Town.

What does this mean?

This shows that the two of them are likely to be the first batch of subordinates of 'this Yu Shao' in Yuangu Town, and if there is no accident in the future, they are very likely to become Yu Shao's henchmen or right-hand men, and the future is limitless.

Through these days of contact, they have already decided that Yi Heng is definitely the 'master of a generation', and the two of them firmly believe that being able to follow Yi Heng is definitely the greatest luck in their lives.

"Let's go, let's go in and see the new residence of our Xingyuan Pavilion." Yi Heng smiled slightly, and strode towards the manor first, followed by Zhao Hu and Yan Peng.

The many servants who were originally responsible for the cleaning and sanitation of the manor had already left first, and only a middle-aged man who looked like a steward and two small followers stayed behind to be responsible for the final handover with Yi Heng.

Seeing Yi Heng come in, the middle-aged man hurriedly greeted him with a warm face, and said respectfully: "I've seen Yu Shao, congratulations to Yu Shao for officially becoming the owner of this manor." ”

"You're welcome, I'm sorry for your trouble." Yi Heng smiled slightly, and casually rewarded hundreds of source pattern coins.

The middle-aged man suddenly smiled on his face, thanked him repeatedly, and his expression was a little more enthusiastic and respectful, and then led Yi Heng to carefully inspect all parts of the manor, and the process was very smooth.

After the handover, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Yu Shao, there shouldn't be a maid in your new home, I don't know if I need to help you find some?" ”

"Oh? If Steward Shao has a good introduction, I naturally can't ask for it, but I have to take a look first, after all, my requirements are very high. Yi Heng said with a smile.

"That's natural, our maid servants are all professionally trained, Yahuan is ingenious, and the male servants are hard-working." The middle-aged man known as Steward Shao said with enthusiasm on his face.

Yi Heng knows that this Shao steward is basically cooperating with some institutions in the relevant industrial chain, the so-called art industry has a specialty, people have a lot of experience, and a wide range of channels, so he naturally will not refuse Shao steward's proposal, which can be regarded as a win-win cooperation.

"Okay, you are familiar with this line, just tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, you bring people to me to see, there are two requirements, women must be beautiful and sensible, men must be honest and responsible, as for the cultivation of strength, it is not important." Yi Heng reminded with a smile.

The reason why Yi Heng asked the girl to be beautiful and sensible was not because he had any ideas that were not suitable for children, but mainly because he looked at the eyes.

As for the man to be honest and responsible, he doesn't want to even have servants to cheat and intrigue, although it may be difficult to put an end to it, but at least it can minimize the possible chances.

As soon as these words came out, Steward Shao couldn't help but smile, looking like I understand you, even Zhao Hu and Yan Peng couldn't help but glance at each other and smile evilly.

Yi Heng naturally noticed their strange expressions, obviously knowing that they had been misunderstood, but there was nothing to explain.

Sending away Steward Shao, he directly turned on the defensive formation to normal.

Defensive formations are mainly divided into four defensive states of different strengths: primary, intermediate, advanced, and pinnacle.

The primary defensive state, also known as the defensive normal, refers to the daily state that can maintain operation at all times after the formation is opened.

In this state, the formation does not have the effect of resisting the attack, but it only allows the owner of the jade plate to sense whether there are people entering and leaving the manor, and monitor it in real time, even if it is a hundred miles away, it can be known, and it can play a warning role.

Moreover, there are not many source stones consumed under the normal state of defense, and it is estimated that there are only twenty or thirty source stones in a month.

As for the intermediate, advanced, and pinnacle-level defense states, they can resist powerful attacks at the peak of the Sevenfold Quenching Realm, the peak of the Triple Innate Realm, and the highest Sevenfold Innate Realm Peak level, respectively.

Of course, this is only the level of the defensive formation of a one-star manor.

If it is a two-star manor, even if it is in a medium-level defensive state, it can at least resist the continuous attacks of a peak powerhouse of the Innate Realm, and the peak state can even defend against the attacks of a powerhouse of the Source Realm.

Of course, the higher the level of the defensive formation, the more source stones will naturally be consumed.

However, under normal circumstances, the high-level or pinnacle-level defense status does not need to be activated, and when it must be turned on, it may have reached the moment of life and death.

After dealing with the affairs of the manor, Yi Heng and his entourage rushed to the mercenary guild in Yuangu Town non-stop.

After getting the recruitment order just handled, Yi Heng and the three of them came straight to the mercenary square.

According to Yi Heng's request, Zhao Hu and Yan Peng neatly wrote the recruitment information on the recruitment display board.

As soon as the recruitment information came out, many mercenaries suddenly rushed in the square, after all, Yi Heng's hand this time was too big.

The recruitment information is as follows:

Xingyuan Pavilion No. 7 Branch was established, and new members are hereby recruited!

One: Recruit fifty peak martial artists of the Ninefold Quenching Body Realm, and pay fifteen source stones per month.

Second: Recruit six Triple Innate Realm powerhouses, and treat two hundred source stones per month.

Three: Recruit two sevenfold innate realm powerhouses, and pay five hundred source stones per month.

The scale of this recruitment is not small, and this group of people alone, in terms of comprehensive strength, is not inferior to the average innate family.

In terms of the number of Ninefold Quenching Body Realm martial artists, even compared to the top innate families, they were not inferior.

Zhao Hu and Yan Peng were shocked when they learned about Yi Heng's recruitment plan, in the early days of the establishment of just one branch, they had to recruit so many strong people?

How strong does the Star Source Pavilion headquarters have to be?

A powerful force comparable to the top 100 giants?

You must know that there are at least more than 600 wealthy families in Luoning County, but less than one-fifth of them can be ranked among the top 100 wealthy families, and their strong heritage is far from being comparable to ordinary wealthy families.

What Zhao Hu and Yan Peng could think of, the other mercenaries who were constantly and rapidly surging could naturally think of it.

Being able to join a force with a strong background is the desire of almost all mercenary warriors, because the treatment of big forces is generally not bad, and it is relatively more stable and secure.

Not to mention that Xingyuan Pavilion should be very powerful in the eyes of many mercenaries on the scene, in terms of the generous remuneration offered by Yi Heng alone, it was already attractive enough.

It would be good for an ordinary Ninefold Quenching Body Realm peak martial artist to earn about twelve source stones per month, but Yi Heng gave fifteen source stones, which was more than two percent higher than the average market price.

The treatment at the level of the Innate Realm is the same, which is basically more than 20% higher than the average price of employment in the mercenary market.

Many qualified warriors competed to participate in the application, and the scene was in full swing, which had not appeared in the recruitment square for a long time.

With the assistance of Zhao Hu and Yan Peng, the recruitment was successfully completed in less than an hour.

"I've seen Young Master Haoyu!" Everyone said respectfully in unison, and the voice was loud and resounding throughout the Mercenary Square.

"Hehe, Xingyuan Pavilion will be your home in the future, I hope you will unite as one, unite as one, and don't live up to my expectations of you." Yi Heng said with a smile.

"Yes, young master!" The crowd echoed in unison again.

Looking at the group of warriors in front of him, even Yi Heng, who prides himself on being calm and calm, can't help but feel a little excited, this is his first batch of subordinates, and it is his only armed team.

From this moment on, the Xingyuan Pavilion was preliminarily formed, and he officially became the young master of the Xingyuan Pavilion!

The only regret was that his original plan was to recruit two Ninefold Innate Realm level powerhouses, but looking at today, he didn't find any Ninefold Innate Level powerhouses in the square.

In the area of Yuangu Town, many of the powerhouses of that level are able to create their own forces, even in the wealthy families, the powerhouses of the Ninefold Innate Realm have a high status.

Therefore, among the free mercenaries in Yuangu Town, there are very few strong people of this level, and even if there are, they have been co-opted or recruited by other big forces.

I'm afraid that that kind of strong man can only be recruited in other more prosperous central areas of Luoning County.

At this moment, everyone looked at Yi Heng with a respectful face, and each of them was personally tested by Yi Heng and carefully selected.

From Yi Heng's body, what they felt was an awe-inspiring and powerful aura, and even those two powerhouses at the peak level of the Sevenfold Innate Realm were shocked by Yi Heng.

Although Yi Heng is not as powerful as the two of them in terms of power alone, you must know that Yi Heng is young, and it is amazing to have such an aura and power at such a young age.

Although Yi Heng had clearly told him just now that he was using a certain magic weapon, in their eyes, this was also a manifestation of some kind of strength.

After all, in their cognition, Xingyuan Pavilion was mysterious and powerful, and relying on this alone, they had to be respectful to Yi Heng, this was the benefit of a strong background, and for a powerful existence, it had always been awe-inspiring.

Although everyone couldn't tell Yi Heng's specific age, let alone ask him to look under the mask, he should be very young, and the power that could cultivate such an outstanding genius was not strong?

Yes, the Star Source Pavilion is very powerful!

This is the common perception of all of them in their subconscious at the moment.

Of course, all of this is an illusion that Yi Heng deliberately created for everyone, but it seems to be working well now.

His strength is not enough, and if he wants to deter these guys who have cultivated to a high level, he naturally needs to plant the mysterious and powerful seeds of Xingyuan Pavilion in their hearts, so that they will have a sense of awe.

It is not so much that these people are in awe of him, but rather that they are in awe of the Xingyuan Pavilion that he has created.

Once the seeds of reverence have taken root in their hearts, they will not dare to disobey easily, but will only do their best to use them for him.

……
