Zou Li rushed to Jade Town with Feng Yuanfeng and found Hall Master Sun in Jade Town to report. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Hall Master Sun had already received a notice from the main hall, and he was even more surprised that Zou Linian had reached the middle stage of the Martial Sect lightly. Believing that it was absolutely possible for him to enter the ranks of innate martial artists, he was not lazy, received him warmly, and arranged a luxurious accommodation for him.

However, Zou Li does not have high requirements for a place to live, but he must be quiet.

In the end, Zou Li chose a set of independent yards one mile away from Jade Town, in the middle of the jade mine and Jade Town. This courtyard is backed by mountains and water, and there is a small stream in front of the door, and a small bridge connects the courtyard with the avenue between the jade mine and Yuyu Town.

Originally the house of a mine steward, this apartment is about an acre in size, with a two-story building surrounded by fruit trees and a vegetable patch. A few years ago, the steward resigned and went home due to his advanced age, and the apartment was too remote and uninhabited and left empty.

Zou Li was extremely satisfied with it, and Hall Master Sun had to find someone to repair it.

The next day, under the leadership of Hall Master Sun, Zou Li met with the Congenital Taishang Elder stationed in Jade Town, because he ranked eighth among the Congenital Taishang Elders of the Crouching Tiger Gang, and the gang called him the Eighth Elder Taishang. The residence of the Eighth Elder of Taishang is completely different from the residence of the Martial Sect, this can no longer be called a residence, at least an area of dozens of acres.

There is a small hill on the left side of Jade Town, and when you approach the hill, you can see that there is a gatehouse directly in front of the hill. Above the gate is carved "Qingyun Mansion". On the hill, strange flowers and trees are luxuriant, and this is the mansion of the eight elders of Taishang.

After being informed, I walked through the gatehouse and came to a garden with more than a dozen acres of land, with pools and pavilions. Follow the flower path to a wooden building about three stories high, get informed, and enter again.

Zou Li saw the hall with a length and width of about five zhang and a height of about three zhang. The layout of the hall is simple and elegant, and the materials are excellent. An old man who looked to be in his sixties was seated in the middle of the hall, and another man in his seventies stood beside him. Zou Li knew that it must be the Eighth Elder Taishang who was sitting, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

The old man nodded and said, "Your name is Zou Li, who was promoted to the Martial Sect at a young age, and it is rare that what you practice is still Iron Bone Skill." Since I helped the founding of the gang, in the five hundred years since the founding patriarch was behind him, it was the prosperous period of iron bone gong, and there were several people who reached the height of the patriarch before he left the gang, and there were many people who practiced more than nine layers.

Later, very few people who practiced this technique broke through the ninth layer, until three hundred years ago, a Tianjiao appeared in my gang, and the Iron Bone Gong broke through to the twelfth layer. It's a pity that in the past two hundred years, no one has been able to cultivate to the tenth layer.

It seems that you have cultivated to the late eighth layer, and I hope you can surprise us. After you come, in addition to performing the tasks specified in the gang, you must be familiar with the topography of Jade Town and the jade mine at the beginning. If you have any needs, you can also put them forward, and you will try to consider what can be met in the help. ”

Zou Li himself was already a second-level Qi cultivator, and the pressure on facing innate martial artists was not as great as that of the Sun Hall Masters. However, Zou Li is cautious and still respects the innate elders in the gang. He stepped forward and bowed and said, "Disciples should carefully follow the teachings of the ancestors, familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment of the jade mine as soon as possible, and assist Hall Master Sun to guard the jade mine." ”

The Eighth Elder nodded and said, "Well, he is young, he has a calm bearing, he is not arrogant or impatient, if he can break through the innate nature, he should help me a pillar." Go ahead, practice hard, strive to break through as soon as possible, and something will pass on to you. Zou Li and Master Sun said goodbye.

In the following days, Zou Li had a preliminary understanding of the terrain and landforms around Yushi Town.

On this day, when I came to the jade mine collection office, I saw that the miners were successively sending the jade raw materials that they had dug up for a day to hand in. The collectors in the gang will preliminarily register the raw jade ore and send it to the warehouse. After that, it is distributed to jade cutters for jade cutting, and the jade is sorted and stored according to the grade of the cut jade.

Zou Li stood here and looked at more than a dozen people in a row, but he didn't find the spirit stone appearing, and he was slightly disappointed in his heart. Then he laughed at himself: "If you can find the spirit stone at any glance, in addition to your great luck, this place should no longer be called a jade mine, but a spirit stone mine." ”

Turning around and about to leave, at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, Zou Li saw a person take out a watermelon-sized rough stone from the basket, this rough stone was full of spiritual energy, which was obviously different from other jade raw materials. His heart trembled: "Is it really my luck?" But then a scene disappointed him again.

I only heard a clerk who collected raw materials singing: "A piece of low-grade jade raw material, weighing twenty catties." ”

Zou Li was suspicious in his heart: "Doesn't this person know the raw materials of jade?" raised his eyes to look at this person, and found that this person was also practicing iron bone skills.

Secretly said: "It stands to reason that this person should be extremely sensitive to this kind of material with aura, how can it be rated as a low-grade jade raw material?

Then Zou Li asked Feng Yuan, who followed him, to investigate the details of these people, and turned around and returned to the house.

Not long after, Feng Yuan, who went to investigate, came back and said, "The three senior brothers who collected the original stones have been in the gang for nearly twenty years, and only one of them is similar to the senior brother." "It's now the pinnacle of the sixth floor. All three of them applied three years ago.

As for the family situation, there are two people whose family backgrounds can only be regarded as small wealthy families in the local area, and the highest cultivation in the family is no more than the martial arts realm; the senior brother who practiced the Iron Bone Gong method is also famous in Xiangjun, and it is said that there are now three innate martial artists in the family, and there are more than a dozen in the martial arts realm; and he is extremely powerful in the local county seat. Each generation of the family has disciples who have joined the gang.

The most prominent figure among his family's disciples in the gang is the Seventh Elder of the Gang. In the later period of Wuzong's cultivation, he was responsible for inspecting the business operations of the gang and the work of the disciples of the gang in various places. He is one of the elders of this gang who has a great hope of entering the innate martial arts. ”

Zou Li nodded and said, "It's hard work! This is an energy pill, which I refined when I was practicing." It's not useful to me, but it should still be of some use to you, take it!"

Feng Yuan hurriedly took it, knowing that a pill of energy pill was worth a hundred taels of silver, and he was full of joy at the moment: "Senior Brother Xie!"

Zou Li waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, you and I, senior brother, with your qualifications, you will enter the Martial Sect realm in a few years." I'm just getting in before you. ”

That being said, Feng Yuan's family is not well-off, and it is all his income in the gang that allows his family to live a good life. How could he have any money to buy pills? Now he is in the middle stage of martial arts, but if he wants to enter the realm of martial arts, he doesn't have to think about it for ten or eight years.

This can still be assisted by some pills. Without the elixir, it will be even slower, maybe twenty years will not be known. This is still something that he can only achieve with good qualifications, and his qualifications are poor, without pills, he doesn't want to enter the Martial Sect for the rest of his life. Just like people like Da Zhuang and Monkey, if they didn't meet Zou Li, they would have arrived at the point at most in the early stage of martial arts, and they could be like they are in the middle stage of martial arts now, and this is not that Zou Li often refines some pills for them, and only charges for medicinal materials, and sometimes the cost of medicinal materials is not enough.

Feng Yuan took the pill and left happily, and Zou Li's face showed a contemplative look. For people like Feng Yuan, who have good qualifications, poor families, are more sincere, and have good relationships, Zou Li doesn't mind giving him a little benefit, and even helping him enter the Martial Sect realm in one fell swoop.

However, it is not busy for the time being, and we will have to observe for a while. The gang asked him to follow his own errands, so that he could free up his hands to practice and improve his strength. Second, there are also rules in the gang, and the strong men of the Martial Sect Realm have a few envoy disciples, and everything is handled by these disciples.

Zou Li had just been promoted, he was young, and he happened to encounter a crisis in the gang, so he only arranged one disciple for the time being. Third, by the way, it is not necessary to have a surveillance role. Zou Li didn't think much about these things now.

It's just a disciple, if you really do things for yourself, just give him a few pills in the future, let him be grateful to himself. What Zou Li was thinking about at this time was the problem of the spirit stone.

"Why is it the Liu family again, do you have so many grievances with the Liu family? I just joined the gang and had a grudge with the Liu family, and now I want to get the spirit stone, and I have to fight with the Liu family. "I was annoyed when I thought about it.

"That's it! It's time to make a move. Since you are on the same page as the Liu family, let's let the storm come more violently!"
