Gu Zuo returned to Gengjin Mountain, came to Shangyunping, plunged into his own thatched hut, sat alone for half an hour, and simply took out the spirit stone to cultivate. It has been almost a year since he broke through the late stage of Qi refining in Xunzhou, and he has not had time to calm down and cultivate well, almost all of which is to absorb spirit stones in various busy affairs.

Cultivation is the realm and the thickness of the true element, these are the fundamentals of cultivation, and he also knows this deeply, so he also forced himself to develop a good habit of adjusting his mentality anytime and anywhere.

In the past year, he has also absorbed more than 30 spirit stones, which is said to be a lot, but if the total amount required to break through the late stage is compared, his cultivation progress has only reached one percent, and in the long run, I am afraid that it will take ten years to advance to perfection?

Gu Zuo also secretly made up his mind that after this incident was over, he would practice hard for three or five months and make up for the homework he had missed.

But as soon as half of a spirit stone was absorbed, it was almost a day's work, and Gu Zuo could only call it a day, and the butcher finished his cultivation and waited for him outside the hut.

After going out, the butcher looked at his demeanor and asked, "Did the hall owner have a good trip?"

Gu Zuo said: "It's very smooth, the Spirit Beast Department and the Laoshan faction have successfully signed a contract, and we have got the agreed benefits, and there are more than the original." ”

"Then why is the owner sullen?"

"Indeed, we should be happy...... But, I don't know...... I can't say ......."

The butcher laughed, "Man, when you open a window and see the scene outside, you want to climb out." I was like this back then, how about it? The owner wants to repeat the mistakes of the past?"

Gu Zuo smiled to himself: "It makes sense, I drank this bowl of chicken soup." He added: "I don't want to ask about my brother's story, but you always enlighten me with your own hand, which makes me very curious." ”

The butcher said: "At my point, I have become a great elder, and I can only rely on my past perception to show off." ”

Gu Zuo took out a handful of spirit stones and threw them over: "The last time I used it up, then, hurry up and repair your qi sea, otherwise the hall master and you will not be finished!"

The butcher took it: "The effect is very good, it's fast." Why, this time the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is despised by others?"

Sighing, Gu Zuo shook his head: "No, the Spirit Beast Department is very polite to me, and the Laoshan faction has never suffered any humiliation when I don't exist." But you didn't see that scene, a group of Yuan Ying and Jin Dan were surrounded in the middle, and a group of Zhuji could only stand and laugh with the side, and the qi refiners couldn't get together, so they could only serve tea and water, alas...... When will the Huaixian Pavilion have such a situation? I hope that you will recover quickly, there is a great elder who has built a perfect foundation, and I can have a little bottom in my heart as the owner of the pavilion. ”

The butcher thought for a while and said, "In the past few days since you left, I have signed a few more orders, several pharmacies in the county town, a total of four hundred sperm preservation pills, one hundred and twenty pills, Jiugu can now produce six pills in one furnace, but only one furnace can be opened every day, and it still can't keep up with sales." ”

Gu Zuo said: "That's not bad, you can't squeeze him too hard." You, as an elder, should care more about your disciples. ”

"It seems that the one who squeezed Jiugu is the hall master, right? She is your disciple, how can you use me to care?"

"I am cultivating her, young people don't suffer some hardships, how will they grow up in the future?"

"Okay, you're the owner of the museum, so you have a point. I have thought about it carefully in the past two days, the Daoist Pavilion is now on the right track, I plan to retreat for a month, hurry up and replenish the Qi Sea, and the hall master, you will also hurry up to make a batch of sperm preservation pills. When I have resumed my cultivation, I can take over the matter of refining the pill, and then the hall master can retreat and raise the cultivation. The leader of the Huaixian Pavilion, no matter what, you can't still mess around in the Qi refining period, you are the greatest confidence and guarantee for us people. ”

"Why is it a sperm preservation pill again? Is the market so good? What about the Wuwei Dihuang pill? It can't be sold?"

"Pavilion master, I'm talking about cultivation, don't always get into these little things, cultivation is the foundation. ”

"Got it, wait for me to try it and see if I have a chance to make another order, and then I'll retreat and do penance when I'm done. ”

"What do you mean?"

So Gu Zuo relayed the words of Fang Qinghe, a Taoist priest of the Laoshan faction, and said: "This Fang Qinghe is not a good person, he is wilted and wilted, but we can't judge right and wrong by character, everything has to be judged on a case-by-case basis, and the news he gave can still be considered." ”

When the butcher heard this, he laughed: "As the hall master said, this Fang Dao Chang has a very bad mind. The Tianmen faction is in Mount Tai, and like the Laoshan faction, they are all among the top 30 major sects in the world. The two sects are notoriously undealing with each other in the Henan Dao cultivation world, and the one surnamed Fang wants to provoke the hall master to harm the Tianmen sect. ”

Gu Zuo said: "I guess that's the case, sure enough...... You say, do we have any hope of making another profit?"

The butcher asked, "The pavilion owner has already offended the Laoshan faction, isn't he really afraid of adding another Tianmen faction?"

Gu Zuo said: "Let's look for collaborators according to the rules, will they kill Gengjin Mountain to destroy the sect without following the rules? I have never heard of any sect that dares to do this." Thanks to all the Taoist elders of the Chongxuan Department, with them, we can have a way to live as a small sect. ”

The butcher said: "It's not enough to destroy the door, but we can't stand being stared at everywhere." Besides, don't think that everyone really talks about the rules, as long as we get too much and make people anxious, there are so many assassins in the world, is it difficult to find?"

Gu Zuo was shocked: "This is the words of Lao Cheng, who is taught and taught." After just a few days of peace, I almost forgot that there are knives in the world. ”

After a long talk, Gu Zuo decided to accept the butcher's suggestion and refine his internal skills in a down-to-earth manner. The butcher was quickly repairing his sea of qi at the speed of two spirit stones a day, Ding Jiugu was still wearing the bitter refining elixir that her hair was exuding, Gu Zuo saw that she was really hard, so he gave her ten spirit stones to cultivate and cultivate well, and he took over the work of alchemy.

The butcher did care about Ding Jiugu, and his words to appease and motivate the only disciple of the Huaixian Pavilion were very simple: "Jiugu, you can go to any sect in the world to inquire and see which one gives ten pieces of spirit stones to the disciples, if there is, I will kowtow to you!"

As a result, Ding Jiugu became more and more grateful to Dade, and she became more and more desperate in her cultivation.

Gu Zuo continued to refine the pill for seven days, and completed more than 180 sperm preservation pills, and then came out of the alchemy room, and not long after he came out, he saw the butcher waiting at the door.

"Isn't your brother in retreat, why do I see you every time I go out?"

The butcher said helplessly: "There is no way, Jiugu is also practicing, so I can only come forward to receive it." ”

"Reception, who to receive?"

"The Star Ministry, which you mentioned last time, they're here. ”

The Star Participation Department is one of the eight departments of Montenegro, and it is also the local head snake of the Black Mountain Zhao that is ready to cooperate with the Tianmen faction to bid for the spirit stone vein, just like the Spirit Beast Department is to the Laoshan faction. Seven days ago, after discussing with the butcher, Gu Zuo decided not to mix with their cooperation with the Tianmen Sect, but he didn't expect that his family would let it go, but people would come to the door.

In the Yin Zu Hall on the lower hill, Gu Zuo sat on the main seat, and on the side was the Great Elder Butcher, and there was only one guest who came, but the weight was very heavy, it was one of the elders of the Counselor Star and the Black Mountain Imperial Law Division to join the army Chen Haozi, an authentic Jindan late senior cultivator.

Chen Haozi was not polite, and said directly: "I often hear Brother Zhong mention Pavilion Master Gu, but unfortunately Pavilion Master Gu doesn't step on the threshold of my law department very much, I haven't seen it much, Chen is not talented, so I have to take the initiative to come to the door." ”

Gu Zuo was suddenly startled, and hurriedly bowed down: "Gu's mistake, I made amends for Chen Senjun's crimes." ”

Chen Haozi stretched out his hand to help: "It's okay." Spread all over the Black Mountain edict to inquire and inquire, everyone knows that Chen is a rough person, and he doesn't like to beat around the bush when he speaks, so he will say it bluntly today. That day, he met the Laoshan faction's Fang Dao Chief, and he told Chen that the Huaixian Pavilion also wanted to participate in the bidding for the spirit mine, and once became the second collaborator of the Spirit Beast Department, I don't know if it's true or not?"

Gu Zuozhi explained a few words, but was interrupted by Chen Haozi: "Pavilion Master Gu said, is there such a thing?"

Gu Zuo could only stubbornly answer: "Yes, it's just that the Huaixian Pavilion doesn't enter the eyes of the Spirit Beast Department......

Chen Haozi interrupted him again: "We hope that the Pavilion Master Gu can also be our second collaborator, I don't know if it will work?"

Gu Zuo and the butcher looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
