After explaining that Nie Rong was going to prepare for the purchase of land in Yudaijiang, Zhuo Yuming did not leave in a hurry, but stayed in a guest room in the Nie family's land.

These days, Zhuo Yuming stayed at home and was in retreat.

The loess clod brought back from the ancient ruins was taken out by him, and his spiritual power worked at full strength, absorbing the spirit of the earth in it. As soon as his spiritual power came into contact with the loess block, an extremely deep and heavy feeling poured into his body.

It was the power of the earth from within the leylines, and it was filled with a sense of heaviness.

Moreover, the loess block is not only the power of the earth, but also the aura contained in it is extremely pure. Streams of spiritual power poured into the limbs and bones, filled with a warm sense of comfort, and the spiritual power in the sea of qi was slowly growing at a progress that was almost visible to the naked eye.

When it comes to this trip to the ruins, the biggest gain is really this loess block.

Originally, when the Eight Desolation Divine Sword had been cultivated to a bottleneck, he was extremely thirsty for the power of the four elephants of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers, not to mention that this loess block was more precious than that of Naze Yuanzhu in that the heaven and earth aura contained in it far exceeded the latter. At that time, refining the Ze Yuan Bead was more about the perception and absorption of the power of Ze, and this time, in addition to the power of the earth, he also inhaled such a majestic and pure aura. It is also a great help for the improvement of his cultivation realm.

This refining lasted for a full twenty-six days.

When Zhuo Yuming pushed open the door and walked out of the courtyard nearly a month later, he found that Han Qing and Zeng Yue were actually sitting in the courtyard and practicing separately.

The sound of the door opening alarmed the two of them, and both of them opened their eyes for the first time, and four eyes were cast at Zhuo Yuming. Zhuo Yuming looked at the two disciples, smiled, and nodded slightly. A warmth welled up in my heart, these two children were actually protecting the Dharma for themselves.

Seeing that they were covered in heavy frost and cold, thinking that it was because they had been in retreat for a month, the two of them had always stayed in the courtyard and never left.

"You go back and rest, and go to see the head of the Nie family for the teacher. ”

Zhuo Yuming said to the two with a smile.

"Yes, master. In the past few days, the head of the Nie family has sent people to come several times, and he has come here twice in person. However, when he saw that the master was in retreat, he went back without saying anything. ”

Han Qing and Zhuo Yuming reminded. This was expected by Zhuo Yuming, after a month, Nie Rongzheng would definitely have a lot of things to inform him, which was why he planned to see Nie Rongzheng as soon as he left the customs.

Nie Rongzheng, who had been unable to see him after running a few times, sent a few members of the Nie family to stay outside the courtyard gate, and when he saw Zhuo Yuming coming out, he had to go to the head of the family as soon as possible.

Zhuo Yuming waved his hand to stop the young man, and said with a smile: "You don't need to report it, just take me to see the head of the Nie family." ”

In Nie Rongzheng's study, the two sat opposite each other.

When Zhuo Yuming pushed the door in, the old figure with his back to him turned around and nodded to him with a smile.

"Zhuo Daoyou, this is a thick-backed clan elder of my Nie family, Nie Houyang. ”

Nie Rongzheng, who was facing Zhuo Yuming, hurriedly opened his mouth to introduce.

Zhuo Yuming also saluted the old man with silver hair, and then sat on his left side.

"Your retreat has made me very anxious, and there are a lot of things waiting to be discussed with you, and I have been blocked by your two apprentices several times. I've been mentally prepared to wait for you for a year and a half, but I didn't expect you to come out again. ”

Nie Rongzheng personally made a cup of spiritual tea for Zhuo Yuming and said with a smile.

The old man named Nie Houyang was one of the clan elders who had supported Nie Rongzheng's clan to join Cloud City in the first place, and he had also heard of his name for a long time as the heir of the Emperor Dao in front of him. After careful inspection, he is indeed graceful and well-behaved.

The three of them drank tea in the study while discussing several matters related to the establishment of the sect.

Especially on the other side of the Yudai River boundary, a small country under the mountain that controls the ownership of that boundary is actually negotiating a deal with another sect force. However, the other party is not a small sect with a small name, but a first-class sect in Zhongshenzhou that plans to open a lower sect in Fuyao Prefecture to introduce more cultivation seeds to the sect.

This matter alone was enough to make Nie Rongzheng anxious.

Although he occupies a favorable position, he uses his connections to barely win back a city from the monarch of that small country. But a small country, not daring to offend him, it is enough to destroy the Nie family of a country, and naturally he does not dare to disobey the behemoth of Shenzhou. It has been in a state of mud for the past month.

However, fortunately, the elders of the Zhongshenzhou Sect were not determined to win the Jade Belt River, and after Nie Rongzheng contacted him once or twice, the other party said that the Jade Belt River was only one of their many locations, and it was not completely incompatible.

How could Nie Rongzheng, who can lead the operation of such a wealthy family as the Nie family, not be able to hear the meaning of the other party's words, just about the matter of "compensation", but he is still bargaining with the other party, and there is no conclusion at present.

"There is no room for failure in the selection of the site, we must take the Yudai River, even if it costs a little more. Nie family master, you first contact the other party, if you really can't talk about it, then tell me, I'll find a way to discuss with that sect. ”

Zhuo Yuming is naturally bound to win the Yudai River, after all, he finally invited the old blind man to personally inspect the terrain, and he also gave the feng shui repair method with his own hands.

If an outsider from Zhongshenzhou robs it, he will never be able to accept it. It's really the last step, even if you go to ask the Sword Saint Feng Xing or the old master and others to come forward, you have to take it down.

"Don't worry, you should be able to talk, the other party has shown signs of relenting last time. At the next meeting, I'll add some more stakes and think I'll win it in one fell swoop. ”

Understanding Zhuo Yuming's insistence on the Jade Belt River, Nie Rongzheng said with a smile.

"In addition, the last time you talked about choosing a successor, I chose thirty of the young children of the Nie family, and you can go back and see which ones can be collected on the door wall. ”

After chatting about the location of the sect, Nie Rongzheng mentioned the matter of preaching again.

"Then tomorrow, when the time comes, bring them with me to see me, and I may have to take a little exam. This matter is also openly and honestly told to the two of you, in the future, it is impossible for all the disciples of Cloud City to grant the Human Emperor Magic, and only the core disciples are qualified to cultivate. And most of them will only teach them one to three magic powers, after all, the six magic methods inherited by the human emperor, in addition to the cultivation exercises, the other five magic powers are extremely difficult to cultivate. Only a handful of disciples with the most outstanding talents can learn the complete Six Methods of the Human Emperor. ”

Zhuo Yuming's face was serious and said to the two.

Nie Rongzheng and the others naturally had no opinion on this matter. In any sect, there are one or two sects that will only teach the secrets of the core disciples. This makes perfect sense.

After a long conversation until it was slightly dark, the three of them walked out of the study together.

declined Nie Rongzheng's invitation to dinner, and Zhuo Yuming returned to his guest room alone.
