The alternating rotation of these two exercises did not absorb the external aura and refine it into mana, and it seemed to be meaningless idling.

In fact, in the midst of this alternating change, the route of practicing the practice of the perfect water nourishment and nourishing body is becoming more and more complicated.

The fake and shoddy version of the second-order spring water meridian has increased its vitality little by little in the repeated handling of the Great Zhou Tian.

In the process, the experience of the fake and inferior version of the second-order Spring Water Sutra rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not all two cultivation methods can be so simple to complement each other's strengths and merge with each other, and the reason why Meng Zhou is confident to do this stems from two major premises.

First of all, even if this version of the Spring Water Sutra that I cultivated by myself is a "fake and shoddy version", its source is based on the general outline of the third-order Spring Water Sutra, and its core lies in "water" and "vitality".

Although it does not do a good job in this area itself, it is completely open to these two characteristics, and even "thirsty".

Secondly, the first-order water nourishing body technique has been cultivated by Meng Zhou to perfection, which is comparable to, or even surpasses, the height of the creators.

His understanding of this practice has long since gone beyond the specific path of practice to grasp its core essence.

It is based on these two major premises that he can do things to this extent seemingly easily.

In the midst of such a rotation, the experience of the Spring Water Classic, which had just started, was rapidly accumulating at a visible speed.

+1，+2……+10，+20……

+100，+200……

It didn't take too long for the Spring Water Sutra, which had just been introduced, to reach the threshold that was about to go further.

"Second Order Spring Water Sutra (Shoddy) Introduction 480/500"

Meng Zhou stopped and began today's formal practice.

The mana of the foundation building runs in the meridian dantian according to the practice route shown in the Spring Water Sutra, and the aura around the body is constantly refined into the body, turning into wisps of new mana.

When the mana has been running in the body for twenty days, the foundation building is +1 progress.

It was also at this time that the Spring Water Passage entered the beginning from the entry level.

Moreover, this version of the Spring Water Sutra that Meng Zhou is currently cultivating has undergone subtle changes and has become more complicated than the version of the practice route in the inheritance jade slip.

In his personal information, the state of the exercises has quietly changed dramatically.

"Exercise: Second-Order Spring Water Sutra (Inferior) Initial Formation 0/1500"

Not only has the mastery of the exercises been significantly improved, but he has also advanced from the beginning to the beginning.

There is another huge change, that is, the "fake and shoddy version" has become the "bad version".

The exercises have been significantly improved, but the experience required to advance to the next level has also become more.

With the improvement of the level of the exercises, the vitality contained in them thoroughly washed Meng Zhou's body and mind inside and out.

The pressure on the body and mind caused by the continuous transportation of twenty Great Zhou Tian suddenly cleared up.

For this situation, Meng Zhou has long been experienced, and the current state was originally deliberately done by him, and it was somewhat buggy.

This time, the foundation building mana had been running in his body for thirty Great Zhou Tian, and only then did he feel that he had reached his limit and did not continue to cultivate.

After stopping, Meng Zhou immediately checked his current state.

……

"Lifespan: 52/326 years" (+6 years)

"Foundation 1st Floor 7/1000"

"The second-order spring water meridian (inferior) initial formation 30/1500"

……

Meng Zhou soon knew what changes had been brought about by this harvest.

"The life expectancy has been increased by six years."

"Originally, once cultivating, the foundation building mana could only run for twenty Great Zhou Days, but now it has been improved ten times.

This is not only the change brought about by the entry to the initial version, but also the change brought about by the version update, which is upgraded from the 'fake and shoddy version' to the 'inferior version'. ”

"These changes have also brought about a significant increase in the efficiency of aura refining, it originally took twenty Great Weeks to gain +1 progress, but now it only takes ten Great Weeks to gain +1 progress."

"Even with the current situation, my cultivation efficiency will increase by three times, from +1 to +3 per day."

But Meng Zhou was clearly not satisfied with this.

The reality doesn't stop there.

Because the integration of water nourishing and moisturizing the body and the spring water meridian has just begun, and it is far from over.

After finishing his cultivation, Meng Zhou began to continue to merge these two cultivation methods.

On this day, Meng Zhou spent all of his time doing this, and he didn't even have the distraction to practice the secret method of soul refining.

In the process of this fusion, the newly formed cultivation experience increased at a visible speed.

Since the initial difficult experiments, the experience has become more and more sophisticated, the integration efficiency has become faster and faster, and the growth rate of experience has been much faster than the entry stage.

Just when Meng Zhou started the formal practice of the day again, this inferior version of the Spring Water Sutra was already at the end of the initial stage, and it was one step away from breaking through again.

"Second Order Spring Water Jing (Inferior) Initial Formation 1470/1500"

Time passed, and with the mana of Zhuji, thirty complete Great Zhou Heavens were carried within the meridian dantian.

+3 cultivation progress on the first floor of the foundation.

The second-order spring water meridian (inferior) is promoted from the beginning to the small success.

Max HP +8, lifespan increased from 326 to 334.

With this promotion, the physical and mental state was restored to perfection again.

Meng Zhou, who had long been familiar with this, controlled the mana to run smoothly within the meridian dantian, and this time, the foundation building mana, which contained more vitality characteristics, ran for forty Great Zhou Days, and Meng Zhou stopped cultivating.

And the cultivation progress brought by the operation of these forty Great Weeks has been increased to +8, that is, every five Great Weeks can make his foundation building level cultivation progress +1.

……

"Lifespan: 52/334 years" (+8 years)

"Foundation 18/1000"

"Second-order spring water meridian (inferior) small into 40/3000"

……

And it was only at this moment that the fusion of the two cultivation methods had only been carried out for a small time.

However, with the integration of the two cultivation methods to this point, Meng Zhou had almost opened up all the areas that needed to be adjusted and where there were obstacles.

The next fusion became logical and natural.

It only took half a day for Meng Zhou to thoroughly integrate the core essence of the water nourishing formula into the Spring Water Sutra.

After completing the fusion, the "inferior version" of the Spring Water Classic has been updated again.

"Second Order Spring Water Jing Xiaocheng 2875/4000"

The specially marked traces of the "inferior version" had disappeared without a trace, and Meng Zhou was not sure how much difference this current edition of the second-order Spring Water Sutra was from the original version.

However, he believed that in terms of effect, it was already a technique that was not inferior to the original version at all, and could be perfectly connected with the third-order general outline.

With the completion of this last step of fusion, the life limit has been increased by two years again, and the upper life limit has changed from 334 to 336 years.

At the same time, in one of the exercises, the first-order water nourishing formula has also completely disappeared.

"Even with my current cultivation progress, it will only take four months to break through to the second layer of the foundation.

But the actual situation is that Xiaocheng Chunshui Jing will inevitably go further during this period and enter Dacheng.

At that time, my cultivation efficiency will be improved again, and it will not take me four months at all. ”

Meng Zhou was satisfied, even surprised, by this.

But at the same time, he is also urgent.

Because he knows very well that the identity of "Meng Zhuang" can be used for three or four months at most.

He had to get him offline before Xiu Wei broke through to the second floor of the foundation.

At that time, even if he still wanted to stay in Qinglinfang, he would no longer be "Mengzhuang", and the good relationship accumulated by "Mengzhuang", including the good relationship with Hexinlou, would also be invalid.

He had to use this short time to lay the foundation for himself as much as possible.

Now, the cultivation method is there, the soul refining method is also there, and the piece of the puzzle that is still missing is the method of refining the body.

Because in the Qingxuan Domain, most of the monks followed the traditional and popular "Qi Cultivation Route", and there were not many who followed the refining body, and there was no perfect system, so Meng Zhou had not heard of which force in the Qingxuan Domain was famous for refining the body.

Therefore, the difficulty of obtaining a second-order body refining method is between the cultivation method and the soul refining method.

And whether it is suitable for you or not is still a big question.

When he first broke through the foundation, Meng Zhou was still at a loss and had no clue how to solve this problem.

But now, as the two poles have changed from unknown to known in the three-pole cycle, he gradually has a complete idea of how to solve the problem of body refining.

When all three poles are "unknown", he should indeed be at a loss.

But when the three-pole problem is solved in two, the difficulty of the last problem will be much reduced.

Because in the three-pole system he constructed, the three-pole framework is cyclically integrated.

The three forces of spirit, qi and spirit are in a dynamic balance that flows and reciprocates with each other.

As the other two poles rise, the pole that is finally standing still will be at the bottom of the truth, a depression.

Whether it is from the perspective of maintaining the balance of the three poles, or from the characteristics of the water potential, it will play an objective effect of "hoeing the strong and helping the weak".

Although it is not the "way of heaven", this is the actual "loss of more than makes up for the deficiency".

As long as you stand on the tuyere, pigs can fly.

Now, in the three-pole system in his body, such a special "tuyere" has appeared.

In front of such a "tuyere", Meng Zhou didn't plan to spend a lot of effort to find a body refining method that might not be to his liking, he planned to fly by himself.

On the fourteenth, in addition to completing the routine cultivation and resuming the cultivation of the Soul Refining Method, Meng Zhou also mastered a new spell, the Stealth Technique.

"Introduction to 2nd Order Stealth 50/250"

After officially learning this spell, Meng Zhou found that this body had some special advantages in learning this spell.

Stealth doesn't really make it stealthy, but makes itself fit perfectly into the environment, like a chameleon.

It involves not only the camouflage and cover of divine consciousness, but also some convergence, control, and camouflage of one's own breath, as well as some adjustment and change of body shape.

These are some of the many innate abilities he possessed after building the foundation.

From this point of view, stealth is really an unexpected match with oneself with multiple spirit talents.

Getting started with a new spell is like getting a new toy.

With in-depth exploration and thinking, Meng Zhou also had a more comprehensive understanding of this spell.

The best place to play this spell is a place with a complex environment and dim lighting.

The more complex and dimly lit the environment, the stronger the effect, and vice versa, the harder it is to achieve the effect.

The simple, brightly lit environment is the natural enemy of this spell.

Of course, so is a powerful divine sense.

……

April 15.

Early in the morning, Meng Zhou got down from the white jade couch.

A layer of spiritual flow automatically appeared around his body, which was a small talent after the cleansing charm was transformed into the meridian mana.

The effect is not only to keep his body clean and refreshed inside and out, but also to relax and feel refreshed from body to mind after each use.

This is the state of mind and body that he enjoys the most and loves the most.

In this state, not only is the body more active, but the mind also becomes more agile.

The spiritual stream carried away all the filth and negative energy in the body and submerged it into the ground.

Meng Zhou put on the second-order high-grade robe that had been completed by the sacrifice, and after some careful adjustment, the size of the robe fit perfectly and kept in the most comfortable state for him.

This second-order high-grade robe, as he had requested, had a very simple effect.

It can activate a second-order high-grade defensive spirit shield, which can defend against the full force of the monks in the late stage of foundation building.

At the same time, there is also a Flying Escape Technique with an effect comparable to that of a second-order high-grade spell, with an instantaneous speed exceeding that of ordinary late-stage foundation building monks.

It's just that whether it's a defensive spirit shield or a flying escape technique, the duration depends on the amount of mana he wears and whether he can supply it.

For Meng Zhou, who is now only cultivating at the first level of foundation building, he can support less than ten breaths at most.

If the two are used together, they can drain all his mana in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, magic weapons all have the "self-obscure" characteristic, and no one will know what grade it is or how powerful it is until it is actually used.

He is not worried about revealing his bottom when he wears it, and it is more than enough as a life-saving hole card.

After packing up, Meng Zhou left the small courtyard of the Zhang family and went straight to Hexin Building.

Now he is already a regular customer of Hexinlou, not to mention, as a foundation building monk, he naturally doesn't need any capital verification, so he walked in directly.

didn't take a few steps, Zhang Wei greeted him, "Seniors are coming to participate in today's auction?" ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Wei ushered him into a room on the second floor and brought him tea and snacks.

At the beginning of the auction, after the successful auction of several third-order lots, which were the first and most terrifying to harvest, the thin old man on the auction table had an extra small and exquisite, smooth and beautiful slap flying boat in his hand.

The flying boat was lifted to the palm of his hand, but it looked like a swimming fish.

"The second-order best flying magic weapon, Liuyun Boat.

It was refined from the complete skeleton of a second-order superlative, close to third-order strength of the Flowing Cloud Whale.

It comes with the talent of flowing clouds, which can go to the sky and the sea, and the speed is extremely fast.

In terms of its comprehensive quality, it is even better than the ordinary third-order low-grade flying magic weapon.

The reason why it is positioned as a second-order superb is because it has its own qi recovery ability, and the mana required to urge it is lower, and the monks in the later stage of foundation building can urge it.

Therefore, the benchmark price is not an ordinary second-order top-grade flying magic weapon, but a third-order low-grade flying magic weapon.

The starting price is fifty high-grade spirit stones, and the price increase must not be less than one each time! ”

When the old man introduced this magic boat, Meng Zhou lifted his spirits, his body also sat up straight, and his expression became more and more focused.

"I didn't expect a suitable item to appear so soon, but it's a pity...... I can't afford it! ”

When the old man quoted the starting price, Meng Zhou knew that there was a fate between himself and this magic weapon.

Even when he was at his richest, the number of spirit stones in his hand did not exceed two thousand medium-grade spirit stones, that is, twenty high-grade spirit stones, which was less than half of the starting price.

Therefore, this thing is destined to have nothing to do with him.

In the end, the Liuyun Boat was auctioned off at a high price of 125 high-grade spirit stones.

Seeing it disappear from the auction table, Meng Zhou sighed and shook his head in his heart: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

When the grade of the second-order lot began to fall from the top grade to the middle grade, Meng Zhou got up and walked out of the room.

There is no need to continue watching the next auction.

When he walked out of the room, all the thoughts in his heart were "raising money", "raising money", "raising money"!

After walking out of the room, Meng Zhou, under the leadership of Zhang Wei, came to the room where the owner of Hexin Mansion was again.

Seeing Meng Zhou, the owner of the Hexin Mansion smiled kindly, and with an extra storage bag in her hand, she handed it to Meng Zhou, and said:

"This is what you want, I packed a whole bag for you, a hundred squares, I think it will be enough for you in a short time."

Meng Zhou took the storage bag and probed the waste pills that were piled up like a mountain of garbage.

The storage space of 100 square meters in the storage bag is packed.

But because the gap is too large, it really has to be compressed together, and the total is about forty or fifty squares, and among them, the number that really meets his needs is even less.

Meng Zhou really wanted to ask, is it possible to change to a bigger storage equipment, and you can still fill it for me?

Although Meng Zhou really wanted to go to the "garbage mountain" where Qingxuanzong specially threw away waste pill waste tools to search for things that really suited him, he knew the truth of what was enough.

So, he didn't say anything more, just transferred all the contents of the storage bag to the jade volute.

During the Qi training phase, he needed to deliberately camouflage with a storage bag to avoid exposing the fact that there was another storage equipment that was more concealed.

But now that the foundation has been built, there is naturally no need to have so many scruples.

Sure enough, when the owner of Hexin Lou saw this, he did not show any surprise.

After Meng Zhou transferred all the contents of the storage bag, he handed back the empty storage bag, and expressed his gratitude to the owner of the building, and at the same time, left a button for possible future needs.

"It's enough for me now, but if I really need it in the future, I hope you can make it easier for me."

The owner of Hexin nodded and smiled: "Okay, just tell me if you need to." ”

Out of Hexin Building, Meng Zhou went straight back to Zhang's small courtyard.

began a regular life for several days on end.

Spring Water Sutra, Soul Refining Method, every day.

The rest of the time is spent on the cultivation of three spells, Flying Escape, Transfiguration, and Stealth, and you can gain a lot of experience every day.

As he gradually tried, Meng Zhou found that these three spells could be cultivated at the same time and gain a lot of experience at the same time.

However, in this way, the mana of the foundation layer will be exhausted in a short time, and it will have to be breathed back.

As a result, it takes longer to regain breath than it does to practice these three spells.

Escape Daily XP +150, Transfiguration Daily XP +200, Stealth Daily XP +120

In just a few days of practice, not only has his cultivation improved a lot, but Meng Zhou's mastery of the three spells has also improved significantly.

On the 18th, the stealth technique was promoted from the beginning to the beginning.

On the 19th, the Transfiguration Technique entered Xiaocheng, and the Flying Escape Technique entered Dacheng.

……

April 20.

Early morning.

After finishing his practice, Meng Zhou checked his current state.

[Name: Meng Zhou]

[Lifespan: 52/336 years old]

[Status: Energetic]

[Talents: Variety Spirit Body (Disabled), White Lotus Spirit Body (Disabled), Natural Sword Body (Disabled)]

[Realm: Building the foundation of the first floor 58/1000]

[Exercises: The second-order spring water meridian is 3075/4000, and the soul pool is 160/1000

The first-order white bear is perfect for the cold pole body]

【Skills:

Second Order: 130/2000 for Flying Escape, 50/1000 for Transfiguration, and 210/500 for Stealth

Level 1: Perfection (omitted)】

[Oath: Rope Spirit 1st Order: 100/100]

[Occupation: pentathlon first-order limit (specific omitted)]

Out of the Zhangjia courtyard, Meng Zhouyi walked out of the central area.

In fact, according to the original plan, since he got a large number of second-order waste pill waste weapons provided by the owner of Hexin Building, he had to help Bai Ya officially break through.

But in Meng Zhou's plan, Bai Ya's breakthrough is not a single event, he also has to take the opportunity to complete the leap from the first order to the second order with several professions together.

This involved an idea he had long before he built the foundation, which was to integrate the Rope Spirit more closely into his cultivation system.

After making a breakthrough in person, his original general ideas became clearer and clearer.

And to complete the breakthrough of several career systems, you need to use some spirit stones.

But because of Zhuo Yuan's active promotion, he gained an unplanned sword codex, but he also hollowed out almost all of his spirit stones.

Therefore, Meng Zhou adjusted the pace of cultivation a little, and practiced in retreat in the Zhangjia courtyard for a few days.

The reason why he didn't rush out to earn spirit stones was because he felt that after today, probably, perhaps, he wouldn't have to worry about spirit stones anymore.

When Meng Zhou appeared in the business district, he had completely changed into a different look.

And when he stood at the door of Yu Peng's residence, he had already turned into a "Zhou Pharmacist" again, and his cultivation had also returned to the level of Qi training.

However, he deliberately covered up the specific layers of qi training.

It can only make people vaguely feel the power of the late stage of qi training, but the specific induction is difficult to confirm.

Meng Zhou knocked on the door gently, and soon, the door opened from the inside.

Yu Peng looked at Meng Zhou with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Uncle Zhou, you're here!"

As he spoke, he welcomed Meng Zhou into the house, and Meng Zhou immediately saw Chu Zheng who was standing up from his seat in the room and walking towards him.

Meng Zhou stepped forward with a smile and greeted, "Brother, did you miss something?" ”

Chu Zheng said with a smile: "That's right, I originally planned to come to Qinglinfang in the near future, but now it's just a few days earlier." ”

"How many days?" Meng Zhou asked.

"It only arrived yesterday." Chu Zheng replied.

Meng Zhou nodded, he and Yu Peng agreed to meet again in advance today, because the association had gradually figured out a stable and safe route between Nuanyun Valley and Qinglinfang by arranging people to travel frequently between Nuanyun Valley and Qinglinfang, so it was able to accurately estimate the time when Chu Zheng arrived at Qinglinfang in advance.

- Their journey is different from Meng Zhou's, because they have to carry a large number of precious resources back and forth, they will not hike, and they will also minimize the possibility of sleeping in the wilderness.

The overall journey is much longer, but safer.

Multiple people on the same boat alternately operate the flying boat, and it can also achieve long-term endurance flight.

Now, I don't know how many chambers of commerce, gangs, and families use this method to transfer boatloads of resources back and forth between Qinglin Fang and the spiritual vein and spiritual land where it is located.

It's not that there is no one who has the interest to hit the attention of these spaceships and flying boats.

But this kind of behavior of directly grabbing food with Qingxuanzong was originally a despicable robbery and repair, and it attracted the thunderous blow of Qingxuanzong at the first time.

Moreover, the means are quite ruthless, and this kind of behavior is completely a strain-type attack.

Not only will the participants themselves be killed, but also the forces behind them will be tragically affected.

After such an iron-fisted purge, the cobweb-like routes connected by spiritual veins in the Qingxuan Domain have greatly increased their safety.

When old friends met, Meng Zhou didn't talk about business for the first time, but chatted with Chu Zheng about the changes in Warm Cloud Valley.

Regarding the changes in Warm Cloud Valley, Meng Zhou was also really curious.

Moreover, only when he has a more accurate grasp of the current development of the association, can he organize his own rhetoric.

Overall, the development of the association did not surprise Meng Zhou.

There may be many discrepancies in the details, but there are not many discrepancies in the general direction.

At this moment, another thing that Chu Zheng talked about made Meng Zhou's expression shocked.

"How did the Forgetfulness Museum become the industry of the association? When did this happen? ”

Chu Zheng thought for a while and said, "It should be around the tenth day of the first month of February." ”

Meng Zhou hurriedly asked: "I remember that the owner of the Sitting Forget Pavilion is called 'Hu Cai', right?" What's going on? ”

Chu Zheng was not surprised by Meng Zhou's curiosity in this matter.

After all, since Brother Zhou came to Warm Cloud Valley, he has been practicing in retreat in the Sitting Forgetting Pavilion, and it is normal for him to have more feelings and attention there.

Chu Zheng said: "Hu Cai is dead. ”

Meng Zhou was stunned, "Dead?" How did he die? When did you die? ”

Chu Zheng recalled for a moment and said, "It should be the first day of February, but the specific number of people who died at the beginning of the month is not clear to anyone."

The reason why we know that he is dead is that his family members knew about his suffering through a special way, and forcibly broke open his stone chamber of retreat, only to find that he had been dead for a long time, and his body had rotted and stinked.

The death was also quite miserable, with a hideous face, bleeding from the seven orifices, and in front of him falling to the ground and dying, there were even suspected fragments of internal organs.

It is speculated that it was during the retreat that the internal organs suddenly shattered, and many of them even mixed with blood spurted out of the mouth, bleeding from the seven orifices, and then died quickly. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Zheng couldn't help but shudder, shook his head and said:

"That scene is a little infiltrating.

I've heard in the past that there are people who go crazy in practice, but the most serious situation I've come into contact with is at most the damage to the meridian dantian and the regression of cultivation.

It's really the first time I've seen such a serious backlash! ”

Meng Zhou hurriedly asked, "You were at the scene at the time?" ”

Chu Zheng bowed his head and said:

"At that time, Yu Peng had already been arranged to come to Qinglinfang, and his house was idle, so I moved over.

What's more, during the time when you were consulting at Zahankan, I arranged for many professional monks and monks to go to your place to see a doctor, and for convenience, they all moved their places of residence to Zawangkan, so as to save them from going back and forth. ”

Meng Zhou thought of Yan Xiong Miaolin and his wife, they were typical of them.

Even after they were optimistic about them, they had no intention of leaving, but had the intention of taking root there.

This is also the case with many other professional monks who are well ill by themselves, and just like that, there are many professional monks gathered in the Oblivion Hall unconsciously.

Once this atmosphere is formed, even if Meng Zhou leaves quietly, this atmosphere still hasn't changed, and there are more and more professional monks who have gathered in the past.

Therefore, Chu Zheng lived in the stone room where Yu Peng once lived.

His relationship with Yu Peng is only a superficial reason, and the real reason is that the association needs a person with sufficient status to sit there.

When "Hu Cai" died tragically in his retreat, the Forgotten Pavilion had already become the first gathering place with the highest density of professionals in the Warm Cloud Valley.

Meng Zhou remembered another thing in his heart.

It seems to be, well, the second day of February.

At that time, I had just participated in the auction on January 30 and was in retreat at Ruyiju for two days.

Then, on the second day of the second month of February, I went out to the booth area to sell a large number of high-quality ice talismans and flying arrow talismans, and then went to the central area to experience the vision of foundation building up close.

On the way to Hexin Building, I saw the deputy hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall, Yiyin, taking pictures of the dead Meixianglou "Mother Yun" on the street.

And "Hu Cai" suddenly bled from his seven orifices and spewed out of his mouth and died tragically in the middle of February during the retreat in the stone room.

"Is the violent death of 'Hu Cai' affected by the death of 'Mother Yun'?

Or is it that 'Mother Yun' controls the life and death of 'Hu Cai', 'Hu Gui' and others in some way, and with her death, all those under her control will die violently? ”

Meng Zhou's heart swirled with these thoughts, and he suddenly asked, "How did the Forgotten Pavilion get into the hands of the association?" ”

Chu Zheng twisted his beard with a smug smile on his face, as if he once again remembered an operation that made him quite complacent in his heart.

"Actually, long before Hu Cai's violent death, I had been in contact with him, and I wanted to buy Za Forget Hall at a reasonable price in the name of the association."

When Meng Zhou heard this, his eyes widened a little unconsciously.

But when you think about it, it seems reasonable.

The Zaoban Pavilion gradually became the first settlement of professional monks in Nuanyun Valley, and its importance in the association naturally increased day by day.

On the other hand, the association also earned a lot of spirit stones through the trade routes of Nuanyun Valley and Red Pine Ridge.

In this case, it is also reasonable to take down the Forgotten Pavilion and make it a backyard that completely belongs to the association.

"Hu Cai didn't agree to my proposal at that time, saying that it was an important asset of their family and it was impossible to let go."

"But who would have thought that it wouldn't be long before he died in such a daze!"

Speaking of this, Chu Zheng shook his head and sighed, as if he was lamenting the impermanence of the world.

After that, he continued to talk about the change of hands in the Sitting Forget Hall.

The Hu family, who came to deal with Hu Cai's funeral, was stunned for a long time without speaking after seeing the tragic appearance of his violent death, as if they were scared stupid.

Then he whispered, 'Hey, bad luck, why are there dead people one after another, can you still have this ghost place?!' ’

He went to collect Hu Cai's corpse, but I pondered his words.

Because according to what we have learned, the proprietor of the Forgotten Pavilion is Hu Gui, and he was suddenly replaced by Hu Cai last year, saying that there were other arrangements in the clan.

I heard something strange from a complaint from the Hu family, so I planned to cheat him! ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhou's eyes widened uncontrollably, "Trick him?" How did you cheat? ”

Chu Zheng proudly twisted his beard under his chin again and said:

"When he was seriously collecting Hu Cai's body and checking the traces of the scene, I suddenly asked him, 'Did Hu Gui also die here?'

When the man heard this, he was immediately startled and jumped up from the spot.

A pair of eyes like they want to eat people, staring at me like I was a murderer. ”

Meng Zhou's eyes almost bulged out and fell to the ground.

Brother, you are really brave!

At that moment, it should be true that the other party wants to eat your heart.

There is a high probability that the other party has already regarded you as the murderer of Hu Gui.

"But I didn't frighten him, and directly persuaded, 'Your Hu family has already died here two proprietors in a row, which means that this place and your family's fortune are contrary to each other, and they are against each other, so you might as well take it out as soon as possible.'

At first, he was still entangled with me and said something inexplicable.

But under my strategy, he finally suspected that the Sitting Forgetting Pavilion was hindering the fortunes of his Hu family, and finally agreed to sell the Sitting Forgetting Pavilion to the association.

Once he knocked on his defense, the rest of the matter went very smoothly, and the other party was in a hurry to make a move, and he was not good at bargaining.

In the end, the association only managed to pocket the entire Zaohan Hall with only three achievements at the normal price. ”

“……”

Meng Zhou had nothing to say.

This is no longer a wool pick-up, this is clearly a pinch of hair on the head of the god of death!

Meng Zhou looked at Chu Zheng, who was still alive and kicking, talking and laughing, and decided in his heart that the secret behind the Sitting Forgetting Pavilion would rot in his stomach.

Otherwise, he was really worried that Chu Zheng would be directly scared out.

After a while of idle nonsense, the sense of alienation between the two of them because they hadn't seen each other for a long time had disappeared, and they had returned to the state of what they had said when they were in Warm Cloud Valley.

Chu Zheng directly asked Meng Zhou why he was in such a hurry to call him to Qinglinfang to meet him.

Meng Zhou didn't answer and asked: "Brother, have you thought about the future development of the association?" ”

Chu Zheng thought about it seriously and said with a wry smile:

"Of course I have thought about it, not only I have thought about it, but all the senior management of the association have thought about it.

But now it turns out that it's not up to us what we think. ”

"Oh, how do you say?" Meng Zhou asked curiously.

Chu Zheng shook his head and said:

"Do you know what the association thought at the end of last year?

At that time, the profits of the trade routes of Nuanyun Valley and Red Pine Ridge had gradually become meager.

However, there is also an advantage, we have developed some of the already small professionals in Hongsongling into members of the association.

After the incident with Shengtang and the Anle Gang, the forces of all parties have also become gentler and more talkative.

At that time, everyone sat together, planning to open up the Red Pine Ridge trade route in Warm Cloud Valley, and at the same time contact with the other two first-order spirit veins, and then open up two more lines.

At that time, the plan had been almost done, the association was only responsible for organizing production and production, and the Warm Cloud Valley forces and the Red Pine Ridge forces were responsible for one of the lines.

Just when everyone is ambitious and ready to do a big job after the New Year......"

Speaking of this, he spread his hands and said:

"You saw it.

Qingxuanzong set off big waves one after another, and we, the little shrimps, couldn't do anything or think of anything except going up and down with the waves and picking up some leftovers behind Qingxuanzong. ”

Meng Zhou looked at Chu Zheng and said with a smile: "The leftovers of the association are not less to pick up, and they are definitely more profitable than your original plan to open up new business routes!" ”

Chu Zheng muttered, "Then I'd rather earn less!" ”

Meng Zhou nodded, he could understand Chu Zheng's thoughts.

The association has a strong ability to make blood and make money, and the association will not resist the matter of earning more spirit stones, but it will not be overly enthusiastic.

This is also the advice he has given a long time ago, the core of the association is always in the "professional", and you can't fall into the strange circle of earning only spiritual stones, in that case, the association is just an ordinary and ordinary chamber of commerce.

Compared with Lingshi earning more and earning less, with me as the mainstay, the control of the situation is what the association cares more about.

And it was obvious that the association, and even the entire Warm Cloud Valley and Red Pine Ridge, had no control in the face of the huge waves set off by the Qingxuan Sect.

Their situation is good or bad, and they are all in the thought of Qingxuanzong.

It's completely up to them.

After understanding Chu Zheng's thoughts, Meng Zhou was completely relieved.

Without Chu Zheng and Yu Peng noticing, he had already used his divine sense to upgrade and strengthen the rudimentary formation of this room, ensuring that no abnormalities would spread out.

He looked at Chu Zheng and said, "Brother, you can also see what Qingxuanzong has done these days, regardless of the rest, have you seen the impact on professionals?" ”

When Chu Zheng heard this, he sighed:

"Why don't you see that the prices of all kinds of raw materials are rising.

On the other hand, the prices of various manufactured products are slowly declining, and the profit margins of professionals are slowly decreasing.

This is only the aspect that can be seen, and the more hidden point is that the spirit stones in everyone's hands are slowly decreasing.

The value of the spirit stone itself is becoming higher and higher, and in the future, everyone will become more and more accustomed to accumulating spirit stones.

Pills, magic weapons, talismans, and the like, if they are not necessary, they will buy less if they can buy less. ”

"Those professionals who are not highly talented, ordinary professionals who have no background to support, will be in a more and more difficult situation.

When the career path is unable to make ends meet, I think a large part of them will give up their career path. ”

As one of the professionals, he seemed very worried about the prospect of this kind of depression that could be seen in the future, but this kind of "celestial-level" change was not something that he could control as a small first-order high-grade talisman maker.

"Fortunately, we have an association, and our ability to resist risks is much stronger than that of individuals.

There are also spiritual materials produced in Nuanyun Valley and Red Pine Ridge.

In addition, following Qingxuanzong this time did make a lot of money, and he was able to hold on for a while.

As long as you survive the most difficult period, the future will not be much worse.

Either way, professionals are still indispensable.

No matter how much you save, there will always be a demand for the elixir magic weapon formation talisman. ”

Thinking of the situation of the association, Chu Zheng was a lot more relaxed.

Listening to Chu Zheng's words, Meng Zhou nodded lightly from time to time.

When he no longer sighed, Meng Zhou said: "Brother, there is such a news, I think you must be interested." ”

"What's the news?"

"The auction of this specification organized by Hexin Building now will continue until the auction price of ordinary Tsukidan stabilizes at around 12,000 lower-grade spirit stones."

"Hiss~" Chu Zheng couldn't help but gasp, "How many Zhuji Dans are there in Qingxuanzong?" Can this kind of hole be filled?! ”

Meng Zhou said: "Of course, there are as many as you want!" ”

"This ...... This is to force casual cultivators to a dead end! Chu Zheng said indignantly.

Meng Zhou shook his head and said, "Qingxuanzong doesn't want to force the loose cultivators to death, but wants to force them all to the immortal city!" ”
