Xu Lei left, but Meng Zhou rarely did not enter the cultivation state immediately.

He sat for a full quarter of an hour before he walked into the small courtyard, jumped into the water tank, and began a new day of cultivation.

Meng Zhou made some small adjustments to the established cultivation plan, and according to the original rhythm, the Sect Master of Du Shuibu, the Finger Sword and the Turtle and Snake Strength also reached the master level.

His mastery of these three martial arts has basically turned into instinct, and he doesn't need to deliberately control it to "hang up and cultivate", and he can be distracted and used for other purposes.

At this time, the introduction of the crane control hand is the focus of the next step of cultivation.

But today, he did not act according to the original plan, but took the "breathing technique" that was very far behind the original sequence as the next target.

That night, the ashram.

Before the formal cultivation, Meng Zhou deliberately looked at the progress of the next cultivation and exercises.

[Realm: Qi Cultivation Level 1: 58/100]

[Exercise: Initial Formation of Water Cultivation Formula: 96/100]

These days of cultivation, his martial arts skills are advancing by leaps and bounds, and his cultivation has not fallen for a day.

The Water Cultivation Technique could be practiced for twelve weeks a day, and he didn't delay a day.

Meng Zhou closed his eyes and entered the cultivation state, and when the mana had been running in his body for four weeks, that familiar and wonderful feeling infiltrated his heart again.

It's like returning to the mother's womb, warm, comfortable, full of security.

Meng Zhou knew that the level of water cultivation had reached a new level.

He didn't wake up to check the present state and continue to immerse himself in this wonderful experience.

Meng Zhou clearly felt that the growth of mana had never been so fast!

When the feedback from his body and mind made him stop cultivating, he immediately checked the current panel information.

[Name: Meng Zhou]

[Lifespan: 51/55 years] (+2 years)

[Condition: Weak]

[Realm: Qi Cultivation Level 1: 74/100]

[Exercise: Water Cultivation Recipe Xiaocheng: 14/200]

[Skill: Degree Water Step Grandmaster: 260/320, Finger Sword Master: 240/320, Turtle and Snake Master: 110/320]

The change in this breakthrough in the exercises is also very huge, and since Xu Lei came to see him yesterday, he has been a little gloomy, and his mood has suddenly become a lot more cheerful.

"The water cultivation technique at the entry level, you have to cultivate for five weeks to improve the progress to +1.

After entering the first stage, you only need to cultivate for two weeks to gain +1 progress.

Now, the water cultivation technique of Xiaocheng level can gain +1 progress every week of cultivation.

Now, I can practice for fourteen weeks a day, and tomorrow I ...... You can break through to the second layer of qi training the night after tomorrow! ”

The improvement of the level of the exercises has such a significant increase in the efficiency of practice.

Although the state is still "weak", Meng Zhou can clearly feel that his physical condition has improved significantly.

Good things come in pairs, just when the daytime martial arts cultivation was about to end, after two days of constant understanding, the original owner's memories of the breathing technique were finally truly seared in his heart.

[Introduction to Breath Harvesting: 1/25]

After verification, Meng Zhou found this spell very interesting.

Its experience gains in a similar way to Degree Water Step and Turtle Snake Strength, and automatically gains +1 experience every quarter of an hour it is used.

His mana consumption is smaller than that of the turtle snake, and besides, it is completely impossible to judge whether this spell is cast or not except for himself.

Of course, after successfully casting, his aura has a significant fluctuation, and he can control the strength of his aura within a certain range.

The Turtle Snake Strength is special enough, but from the moment he is "draped" on his body, he still needs some active control, and when he devotes himself to retreat and cultivate, or sleeps, it will automatically stop.

But the breathing technique is different, after casting, as long as the mana is not completely exhausted, as long as he does not take the initiative to stop, it will always stick to him like a layer of paint.

Even when he was cultivating or sleeping, he was still firmly attached to him.

This means that he can harvest experience around the clock, without interruption, +1 per quarter hour and +96 automatically per day.

The next morning, when he finished his cultivation and walked out of the meditation room, the Breath Gathering Technique had quietly completed the breakthrough from entry to initial completion.

[Initial Completion of Breath Harvesting: 25/50]

I left the retreat room, walked through the small courtyard, and was about to go to the kitchen, when I heard a knock at the door.

This voice alone made Meng Zhou feel uncomfortable subconsciously, because its rhythm was obviously different from Xu Lei, who often came to knock on the door.

"Who?" Meng Zhou asked directly.

"Big brother, it's me."

Hearing this voice, Meng Zhou's heart tightened, and he felt that he was being held tightly.

However, he quickly calmed down his emotions, and the aura around him quietly changed.

Compared to his own cultivation, he did not go down, but jumped up two layers, reaching the level of the third level of Qi training, which is also the limit of what can be achieved by the nascent level of the breathing technique.

Only then did he go over and open the door and lure Li Heng in from outside the door.

Seeing that the eldest brother came to open the door in person, Li Heng was slightly puzzled.

The eldest brother's habit in the past was to basically use the crane control hand to open the door through the air, but he has never been so approachable.

Meng Zhou didn't give him a chance to think about it, and directly gave him an army first.

"Second brother, you came just in time, can you tell me what is the relationship between you and Na Mo Guanshi?"

When he said this, his expression was gloomy and obviously displeased, as if he was about to drip water in the next moment.

Li Heng's physique was inferior to Xu Lei, almost a head shorter in front of him, and he looked small and thin.

What's more, he once again recalled the previous master's usual strength and domineering, and all the prepared words in his heart were shattered, and he was a little speechless for a while. His lips murmured, but he didn't know what to say.

Meng Zhou had already turned around and walked towards the courtyard, "Come in." ”

Li Heng's thoughts were very confused at the moment, but his feet had already taken the first step to follow the order into the courtyard together.

At this moment, how could he still have the heart to ponder the fact that Meng Zhou personally opened the door for him.

Meng Zhou sat down on a stone pier next to the stone table in the courtyard and motioned for Li Heng to sit down opposite him.

Li Heng seemed to be a little unresponsive, and seemed to be thinking about something else, standing there without reacting.

Meng Zhou frowned, spoke again, and his voice became a little heavier: "Sit down and say!" ”

Li Heng sat down on the stone pier opposite him, and he was in the same position as Xu Lei last time.

Meng Zhou's right index finger knocked on the stone table, as if it was knocking on Li Heng's body.

"Tell me, what are you planning with that careless officer, what price are you going to sell the Baijiang Gang!"

Li Heng finally came to his senses, calmed down, his eyes had become clear again, and he looked at Meng Zhou without the slightest evasion.

"Big brother, did Xu Laosan secretly sue me for Diao?"

Meng Zhou didn't answer, just looked at him.

This has trumped all answers, and Li Heng's voice immediately became much higher-pitched:

"What did he tell you? This Xu Laosan must be resentful of me because of your previous decision, so you poured dirty water on me! ”

Meng Zhou shook his head: "I want to hear what you have to say now, as for whether it is dirty water and clean water, I have my own judgment!" ”

Li Heng's cheeks shook vigorously, nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll tell you about it, big brother, in fact, even if you don't ask, I plan to explain the ins and outs of this matter to you in the near future."

Meng Zhou nodded, noncommittal about this.

So, Li Heng explained the ins and outs of the matter roughly.

According to him, the thread of the story is this.

Although Mo Guan is a member of the side branch of the Mo family in Jade Lake, because his cultivation talent is really limited, he has no special talents, and there are many side branch people like him in the Mo family, so he can only use the tiger skin of the Mo family in Jade Lake to be a fishmonger in such marginal waters.

Li Heng often went to him to sell fish, and he became familiar with him after coming and going, and the other party gradually understood the operation and money-making logic of the Baijiang Gang.

So, he "had an idea", and suddenly had a brilliant entrepreneurial idea in his heart, copy!

His idea was to copy the Baijiang Gang's style of play to the waters where the Baijiang River and Jade Lake meet.

The fishermen who were active in those waters were also scattered cultivators with no foundation or background, which was not fundamentally different from the sporadic scattered cultivators along the Baijiang River.

If you really want to say the difference, it is only the difference in cultivation, most of the sporadic scattered cultivators along the Baijiang River only have the early stage of Qi cultivation, while most of the scattered cultivators who are active in that area of water have mid-stage Qi cultivation.

This is also the reason why the original owner avoided the border waters and chose to start a business in Baijiang.

But this point is the easiest to solve for Mo Guan.

When he is incapable, the background of the Mo family can at most ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing, and will not be robbed and killed at will, and more benefits will not fall on his head, nor will he have his share.

But if he has a good entrepreneurial idea, or has a successful precedent, it is easy to get the support of the family.

The other party's thinking is very clear.

Take the Baijiang Gang into the bag, and then, use the strong position of the Mo family to let the Baijiang Gang enter the junction waters strongly, and eliminate the current fishermen with a more economical model of backbone + a large number of mortal martial artists in the early stage of Qi training.

As for these casual fishermen who actually have the strength to practice qi in the middle stage, what should they do if they suffer an unwarranted disaster, of course, it is cold salad.

As a member of the Mo family in Jade Lake, he can take advantage of it without skill, and he can compete with others with dignified means, which is already very virtuous.

If others fail to compete and want to play off-board moves, it will really be a sheep into the mouth of the tiger and a suicide goal.

This is what Li Heng said to him.

The situation that Xu Lei told him was generally similar, but there were many differences in details.

There are a few big differences.

First, after the relationship between the two sides became acquainted, Li Heng learned the news that Mo Guan was a side branch of the Mo family in Cuiyu Lake.

Then, he took the initiative to be a dog-headed military advisor for the other party and gave advice.

He tried his best to help the other party find ways to enhance his value and status within the family.

For this reason, he directly used the Baijiang Gang as a bargaining chip.

"How can he still have the Baijiang Gang in his heart, and he is now thinking about how to hug the thighs of the Mo family in Jade Lake."

These two versions of the story collided back and forth in Meng Zhou's heart, and he gradually had some judgments of his own on this matter.

On the other side, after Li Heng introduced this general background, his voice was a little excited:

"Big brother, things are not arranged by Xu Laosan at all, it's not that I want to sell, it's that the Mo family reaches out and insists on it!

Can we not give it? Do we dare not give it?! ”
