In the early morning, when a touch of sunshine shone on the door of the store, Yi Heng happened to open the door of the store, and the sun shone on his face.

It was a little late to open the door today, but after a few nights of good sleep, the spirit had recovered a lot, and the countless scars on the face had healed under the treatment of the best healing elixir.

A few days passed, and it was only when I looked closely that a slight scar appeared.

At this time, a resolute face was slightly red under the sun, and although the two thick eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, the big eyes were blazing, but they looked extremely resolute.

opened the door of the store, also lay on the rattan chair, and also covered his face with the book that could never be finished, and began to deliberate on the fourth layer of the "Dragon and Tiger Great Day Refining Technique".

This is already the fourth day of returning to the city, if there is nothing to do today, then the fourth layer can be completed, and tomorrow you can start cultivating from the first layer.

If there is nothing to do today, tomorrow, I am afraid that some other arrangements will have to begin.

It was past noon, and the rain that connected the three days, in exchange for today's sunshine, made everyone a little excited.

Therefore, even at noon, the number of pedestrians on this street does not decrease.

Yi Heng was already drowsy at this time, and there were only three people in the morning who came to sell elixirs, all of which were some common elixirs.

If you hold on until dark, once today passes, no one will suspect him, and the fourth layer of the exercise has been completed, just waiting for it to get dark.

Suddenly, he felt that someone approached the shop and did not release the spiritual sense, and the city generally did not dare to release the spiritual consciousness easily, let alone just sell some ordinary spiritual elixirs.

"How is Zeng Daoyou doing?" A voice sounded, and his heart tightened suddenly, and he knew that this person was not here to sell elixir.

There are not many people who can call him a Taoist.

Although he was flustered, he still pretended to be normal, and slowly moved the book away, revealing a sleepy face, and with his squinted eyes, he saw a monk.

The feather fan in his right hand, wearing a scarf on his head, the expression on his face is unhurried, and his whole body exudes an elegant breath, isn't it the monk surnamed Gou from the Gou family pharmacy?

His heart was cold, but he pretended to be surprised and immediately rejoiced, and immediately got up and greeted loudly: "Gou, Gou Daoyou, what a rare guest, Zeng couldn't greet him, forgive me." ”

As he spoke, he arched his hand, and there was a hint of gratitude and apology in his eyes.

The monk surnamed Gou observed all his expressions, words, and eyes in detail, but felt extremely normal, which was exactly what he should be.

"Hehe, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, don't you invite me in and sit?"

If this person can really disguise himself here, then the slightest suspicion will definitely be discovered by him, if this person is really not a disguise, then why be suspicious?

The monk surnamed Gou thought very clearly, so he let go of his happiness and asked loudly.

"Naturally, I want to please, but there is no good tea and a good seat here than Gou Daoyou. Yi Hengda laughed and immediately welcomed him into the store.

At this point, the shop felt a little cramped, but luckily there was a spare chair just enough to sit in.

It's just that where has the monk surnamed Gou ever entered such a narrow place, and would he sit down and enter such a place?

The smile on his face is even stronger, the more embarrassed this person is, I am afraid that today's things will be easier to achieve.

"The visit of Gou Daoyou to our store really makes the small shop shine. Yi Heng saw that he was sitting uncomfortably, and he was also a little embarrassed, so he had nothing to say.

The monk surnamed Gou despised it in his heart, which meant that he couldn't stay in such a big shop, and it was not boring to go to his small place?

"Originally, I really couldn't get out, but that day I talked to Zeng Daoyou, so that Gou Mou never forgot it, this year has passed, Daoyou has never gone again, Gou Mou is worried, and I have inquired many times, but I can find it. ”

The monk surnamed Gou said this, with a look of longing and hard work on his face, if it was someone else, he would definitely be convinced.

But in addition to retching a few times in his heart, Yi Heng felt even more anxious, "Could it be that this person actually doubts himself?"

"Gou Daoyou is serious, if Zeng knew what Daoyou thought, I am afraid that he would have come to the door to bother, but for a certain year, in order to raise spirit stones, he ran around day and night, his heart was haggard, and he had no intention of thinking about anything else, so he made Daoyou worry about it in vain. ”

He also showed a look of distress on his face, and with the gradually improving scar, it made the monk surnamed Gou believe it for seven or eight points.

"Speaking of which, I would like to take the liberty of asking how the fellow of the Daoist is?" the monk surnamed Gou lowered his voice and gradually became serious.

"Thank you, it's still the same. ”

"I wonder how the spirit stones are made?"

Yi Heng's heart froze, but his face was still extremely distressed, and he said miserably: "Millions of dollars, how much can you earn with this store?" ”

After speaking, there seemed to be tears in his eyes, but his left hand touched the storage bag without a trace.

If this person can see through the storage bag, there are nearly two million spirit stones alone, I don't know what kind of expression it will be?

The monk surnamed Gou's face was relaxed, and today's incident has become eight points.

"Alas, although the effect of the leyline Zizhi is average, it is also valuable, and one plant may not be effective, if it can be assisted by the Soul Spring, the effect will be even more, it is really hard to be a fellow Daoist. ”

In his words, he looked very sympathetic and pitiful.

Yi Heng got up suddenly, his eyes shining brightly, straight to his eyes, and asked loudly: "Horror Spring, what is this, what is the value, where can I find it?" At this time, he could no longer care about any disguise.

The monk surnamed Gou didn't expect him to be so excited, but he also expressed his understanding, the appearance of that female cultivator, how could he have seen such a level of female cultivator in a hundred years?

What's more, if the person behind the nun knew that he had made such a situation, how could he let him go?

"There is definite news that the Soul Fountain will appear at the same time as the leyline Zizhi and be bundled for auction. ”

"Bundle auction?" Yi Heng thought in a low voice, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "I don't know how much it is worth?"

"It is tentatively estimated that at least three million spirit stones will be required before it is possible to participate in the final auction. ”

With a "snap", Yi Heng sat on the rattan chair weakly, but this time he didn't let the rattan chair shake, and his heart was relieved, okay, okay, I wish there were such elixirs, the more the better.

The monk surnamed Gou thought that he was desperate to behave like this, and was afraid that he would give up, so he said:

"Gou Mou saw that Daoyou's companion was beautiful and fragrant, it was rare to see it, and he was not under you when he was young, but his cultivation was in the late stage, so he must be above you, right?"

Yi Heng replied in his heart, not only above me, but how many streets there are in this Lingmi City, she will throw me as many as she wants.

Naturally, he couldn't say this, so he was still silent, and his eyes showed despair.

"Coupled with the people behind her, I'm afraid that if she doesn't get cured, it will be difficult for Daoyou to explain. ”

The monk surnamed Gou has said this, and then it will be up to him to see how his expression is.

Sure enough, when Yi Heng heard this, his desperate eyes added to the worry, and he muttered to himself: "Although I am willing to fight to the death to save each other, but the time is too short, hehe, it's just a big deal that we will die together." ”

The corners of the monk's mouth twitched slightly, knowing that today's matter had been accomplished, so he straightened his face and sat up straight.

Yi Heng immediately knew that at this time, it was the real beginning.

"Although there is a big difference in age between Gou and Daoyou, since they met that day, they have become confidants, and naturally they can't bear to be so desperate, but although Gou is half the owner of the pharmacy, it is a family business, and Lingshi can't move. ”

Yi Heng stared at him with a look of understanding and gratitude on his face.

"Thank you Gou Daoyou, I can have this heart, Zeng Mou doesn't know what to repay in this life. ”

"I myself have spirit stones, but it doesn't hurt to borrow millions, but if you exceed this number, you can't do anything. ”

Yi Heng got up and bowed deeply to show his gratitude, but his face was still pale and blank.

"But at this time, Gou has a way, it depends on whether Daoyou has the courage and strength?" At present, this person's reaction is completely normal.

The monk surnamed Gou smiled slightly, and finally explained the purpose of this trip.

"What method? Even if it was to ask for Zeng's life, Zeng did not hesitate to offer it. As if grasping a life-saving straw, Yi Heng stepped forward and asked urgently.

"Hehe, where can it be so serious, since Daoyou believes in me so much, then I will no longer hide it, I am the brother of the city lord, and I have a promise. ”

The monk surnamed Gou waited to see his expression, but when he saw that he had already known, he did not look shocked, and said secretly, this is normal.

If you are here for a year, you open a spiritual medicine store, and you don't know that the owner of the Goujia Dan pharmacy is the city lord, it is not normal.

"Zeng, Zeng Mou has known this for a long time, so he didn't dare to disturb Daoyou. ”

"The five cities of Ziyang, ranked every five years, the tax paid is also paid according to the ranking, the first place is paid by one percent, and the second place is paid by two percent, so as to increase. ”

Since there is no problem, Gou Youwei doesn't want to waste any more time, today he is only the fourth candidate, and there are nearly twenty waiting for him behind.

"What was the ranking of Lingmi City last time?" Yi Heng didn't want to waste time, he wanted to drive him away at this time, the spirit stone was enough, so why bother?

It's just that getting rid of him now is unreasonable, so I can only find a reason to refuse later, so I asked hard at this time.

"Fifth. ”

"So miserable?" Yi Heng already knew from that classic that Lingmi City had always been the weakest, and it was estimated that it had only occasionally risen one rank.

"This is a vicious circle, the fifth pays fifty percent of the tax, so the price of all kinds of materials in the city is high, and even the capitation cost of living in the city is very high, resulting in a declining population every year, and the strength is getting weaker and weaker. ”

Yi Hengxin said, not only is it too high, it is purely to rob people, if he can run away, he is afraid that he is already living in Ziyang City now.

"Therefore, the most headache for the city lord is the big competition once every five years, and of course, what he is most looking forward to is also this matter.

It's just that these five cities are bigger, and the cultivation must be below the Jindan, and the age must be within half a hundred, and the Taoist friends should just meet this condition. ”

"Naturally satisfied, what does that Daoyou mean is to let me participate, and if I win, I will be given a spirit stone?" Yi Heng's eyes flashed, staring at his closed mouth, and when he spit out a "yes" word, he immediately refused.

Gou Youwei showed contempt in his eyes, if he won and gave the spirit stone, how could anyone participate? After all, he was risking his life.

"Of course not, as long as you can be selected, you will get a spirit stone first. ”

Yi Heng was extremely disappointed in his heart, but he had to force an interested look and asked, "How many spirit stones do you give?"

"One million, if you win, there will be more spirit stones, exercises, pills, and heavenly treasures. ”

Gou Youwei is not afraid that he will not agree, if there is a soul medicine thrown out at this time, it is even more certain, but who will keep the elixir?

Yi Heng secretly thought, this is definitely for himself, borrowing a million, rewarding a million, and making up a million by himself, it is just enough, and there is still no reason to refuse.

However, this reward is really huge, and then it becomes clear that in five years, reducing the tax by one percent, this spirit stone is definitely astronomical.

"In a few years?"

"Two years. ”

"I just said that after being selected, do you have to compete first?"

Gou Youwei showed appreciation on his face at this time, although he only asked this at this time, but because he was in a hurry about the spirit stone, it was understandable that this was the alertness that the children of the gate should have.

"That's right, in the entire city, not only me, but also the city lord, the deputy city lord, including the major families, are all looking for a foundation building Great Perfection monk, because this matter is related to the interests of the whole city, can you understand?"

Yi Heng deeply despised it, how could he not understand this? He understood even more that it would be better to choose a time to lose the primary election now?

But there was some anxiety on his face, and he said to himself, "How can that be good? Can I be selected? How many people will participate?"

"Daoist friends don't have to be so anxious, I just said, as long as you have the strength, after you are selected, I will lend you a million spirit stones, and then

Plus one million, if it is not enough by then, the city lord and others will also help each other. ”

Yi Heng showed his contempt again, what kind of righteous help, I'm afraid that even you can take this spirit stone at will.

"So I don't know how many people participated in the primaries?"

Gou Youwei showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, he really didn't know this, so he said: "I only know that in the past three years, I have found a total of twenty-three people who meet the conditions of the foundation building consummation, including you." ”

"They all agreed?"

"I'll be sure today. ”

"How many people am I?"

"The fourth person. Gou Youwei's face was unclear, but Yi Heng knew that it was not a matter of deliberately losing now, but that he might really not be selected.

This person alone has found more than 20 people, and he is only ranked fourth in his mind.

What about the other characters? Among the millions of monks, how many of them have built a great foundation? And how many capable people and different people have great exercises?

At this time, he suddenly wanted to see and see, the top master of the same level in the city.

Those few casual cultivators all have several powerful exercises, I don't know what about the monks cultivated by this big family?

But suddenly thinking of Xi Yin lying in the inner room, the frowning brows, I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart, if she unfortunately died, what should she do?

"What? Daoist friends have no confidence in themselves or are they scruples about something?"

"All fighting methods are unpredictable, life and death are unpredictable, Zeng Mou is not unconfident in his own strength, but he doesn't know what to do with my companion after the death of the lower body?"

Gou Youwei seemed to have expected this question a long time ago, and replied without hesitation: "If you don't think about winning, you will think about defeat first, and you will be a disciple of the gate." ”

"On behalf of the City Lord's Mansion, if Daoist friends die, I will definitely grab the Earth Vein Zizhi and Soul Fountain from the auction, give it to your companion, and personally send her to her master. ”

Yi Heng smiled bitterly in his heart, he is dead, who knows if you will do it later, besides, Master Xiyin, where are you going to find it?

But at this time, he can't deny this, otherwise where did he come from? How to explain it? Could it be that he is a disciple of Yimen?

"Last question, when will the primary election start?" Yi Heng showed a look of great satisfaction on his face, as if he was very satisfied with his promise.

"After a month, the city lord's mansion. ”

"Okay, I agreed. "There is no reason to refuse at this point.

"Haha, okay, Zeng Daoyou, I'm very optimistic about you, the day you are selected, it will be the time to borrow your spirit stone. ”

Gou Youwei completed the task, stood up, ran the spiritual fluid slightly, and disappeared without a trace of the soreness in his legs.

Sitting in such a cramped place is indeed an ordeal.

"Also, since you have decided, you can move into a special place to live, there is a special cultivation room there, No, this is an identity card, and someone will come to pick you up later.

Don't worry about your companion, the dwelling place is definitely four or five times wider than here, enough for both of you. ”

Gou Youwei wanted to leave for a long time, so he walked outside the store to move his hands and feet, and handed him a jade plaque by the way.

Without waiting for him to say more, he turned around and hurried away, only a voice came: "Prepare well, I am very optimistic about you." ”

"Look after me?" Yi Heng held the identity card, with a few words on it, "Hook Youwei, number four." He smiled wryly and said, "It's weird." ”

Seeing him disappear into the street and blend into the crowd, he was lying on a wicker chair again, but at this time, he did not read the classics, nor did he think about the refining technique, but thought about what had just happened.

Today's incident is too shocking, and we must think about it seriously.

Just now, he had been paying attention to Gou Youwei, and as long as he had any relaxed expression and tone, he would immediately refuse the matter.

But it's a pity that from beginning to end, it seems to be aimed at himself, and any conditions given, in exchange for anyone in his own situation, will not refuse, and he certainly has no reason to refuse.

But a few days ago, I had that incident again, if I directly said that I had a spirit stone, then where did this spirit stone come from?

As soon as you ask, new clues will inevitably be revealed, and when the time comes, you will find that it is you who is refining the best elixir, and the situation will be even worse.

Now that you accept it, you must prepare for it next, and in the later process, there will definitely be opportunities to refuse.

The most likely thing is that in the primary election, he deliberately loses to others.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, when I was going to be accepted as a disciple of my own lineage, I was also forced to deliberately lose to others, but in the end, it was really defeated, and it was natural for me to lose to the eighth layer with the sixth layer of qi refining.

This time, it's all at the same level, if it's not true, it will be exposed, if it's really defeated, then it's really difficult to show that your strength is not good.

It's just that before the competition, you have to hurry up and practice all kinds of spells here, the Bagua Pan can never be exposed, and the others can not be exposed or not.

"Dragon and Tiger Great Day Refining Body Technique", "Void Sword Technique" must be cultivated, but it is a pity that they cannot advance to the Jindan stage.

Originally, with a huge amount of money, I was going to buy the powerful Jindan Gong Jie Dan, but now it seems that I can let it go first, and everything is mainly to save Xi Yin.

Thinking of Qiu Xiyin, he immediately walked towards the inner room, and he still had to talk to her about this matter.

Seeing her lying peacefully on the bed, breathing evenly, her peerless appearance was really out of harmony with this dilapidated inner room, and her heart was filled with guilt.

"Xi Yin, everything is getting better, I believe that Senior Brother will definitely win the elixir and make you wake up. ”

"We're going to move in a minute, and hopefully you'll like it. ”

"I know that you like a place with trees and water, I wonder if there will be one in the place you moved to, but don't worry, Senior Brother will definitely find such a place for you in the future, and then we can cultivate with peace of mind, okay?"

Gently caressing her frowning brow, trying to smooth out the frowning brow, she seemed to be in a nightmare, but she couldn't wake her up.

"Zeng Daoyou, but here?" At this moment, a voice from outside the door woke him up.
