Zou Li listened to the old man's words, his heart was heavy, he said hello to the old man, and returned to his small courtyard to wait for the helper to come. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It seems that the strength is still not enough! Even the Martial Sect died in the battle, and these innate characters are too despicable, and they even bully the weak with the strong! However, if I run into it, I can't win the fight and want to run, I should be able to escape. Zou Li said to himself.

In the afternoon, the helper came to invite, and Zou Li followed a disciple who accompanied the helper to the main hall.

The main hall is only half an hour away from the outer hall for horseback riding.

The age of the disciple who came to pass on was only twenty-seven or eight years old, and he was a disciple of the last Hutang, and he was favored by the gang leader and accepted as a personal disciple. Now that his cultivation has reached the early stage of the Martial Sect, he thinks that his cultivation is very fast, but today he heard that some disciples of the Outer Gate Medicine Collecting Hall have advanced to the Martial Sect in their twenties, which scared him, and he felt completely incredible. The helper didn't believe it, but since the person who came was confirmed, the helper ordered the disciple to come and pass the message and asked Zou Li to go and register.

This disciple didn't believe it at all, and with the attitude of watching jokes, as soon as he saw Zou Li's face, he was suppressed by a thick breath on Zou Li's body. And this kind of aura he had only seen in his master's body, you must know that his master was in the late stage of the Martial Sect. Therefore, Zou Li is both jealous and envious, and there is a deep loss.

According to his master's estimate, it would take ten years for him to advance to the late stage of the Martial Sect at the earliest. This can only be achieved when he has excellent qualifications, sufficient pills, and diligent study and hard work. Ordinary disciples may not have a chance in their lifetime.

However, the junior disciple in front of him broke this law, not only broke through to the Martial Sect, but also broke through when he was only in his twenties, how could it not be a double blow?

The journey of half an hour was not a long time, and on the way, this disciple was very curious about Zou Li being able to cultivate to the Martial Sect at the age of twenty.

Zou Li naturally wouldn't tell the truth, so he returned: "Maybe it is related to the exercises he practiced, he has been collecting medicine outside all the year round, and he has encountered many fruits, which are very helpful to his cultivation, so he cultivated to the Martial Sect." This disciple listened to Zou Li's explanation, and his stomach was furrowed.

He heard that it was very good to be able to cultivate the Iron Bone Skill to the sixth layer, and in the past hundred years, he heard that only two people had cultivated to the Martial Sect, and each of them had only reached it in their fifties. This kind of exercise is extremely difficult to practice, and this junior disciple is really a freak. The disciple muttered.

The main hall square of the main hall is extremely grand, much larger than the main hall square of the outer gate, all of them are bluestone paving, after the baptism of the years, although the spots are stained, but more see the cangsang. On one side of the main hall square is a palace-like building, towering and huge, white jade as the base, bluestone as the wall, carved beams and painted buildings, eaves and corners.

On the opposite side of this palace-style house, there is a street about 30 zhang wide and about 500 zhang long, and all the buildings on both sides of the street are two-story buildings with high floors, most of these buildings are the houses of the disciples of the inner hall gang, and a small part are all kinds of shops and storefronts.

On the hill around the main hall square of the main hall, there are also many single-family courtyards faintly visible, which are inhabited by the elders of the gang. To tell the truth, Zou Li has been in the gang for nearly eight years, and he has only come to the main hall once, and that time Huang Cai pulled a few of him to find Liu Qiang.

Zou Li followed the disciple through the square into a tall hall, and then through a small door to a smaller house.

This house is not small, the hall is about eight zhang long, about five zhang wide, and there are three people sitting inside.

Zou Li looked at it, and only had a slight impression of the one on the right, as if he was the master of the Medicine Picking Hall. This is what I saw five years ago when I was first assigned to the Medicine Gathering Hall.

The one sitting in the middle was about sixty years old, with a ruddy complexion, a beard under his chin, and a burly figure, and the one on the left was dressed in a brocade robe, with a thin face, and was about sixty years old.

After this disciple came in, he immediately bowed to the one in the middle: "Helper, Senior Brother Zou Li has been invited." ”

The man who was called the helper said, "Wait outside the door first, and I will tell you something." ”

After the disciple left, the helper waved his hand to Zou Li: "Senior nephew, please take a seat." Let me introduce you to you, the one on my left is the elder of the Gangzhongda, surnamed Qin, Elder Qin, and the one on the right is the master of your Medicine Picking Hall, Li Tang, you may know. My surname is Wang, and you call me Wang's helper. Elder Qin and Hall Master Li happened to have something to discuss with me in the gang. Hearing that you were promoted to the Martial Sect, I was shocked in my heart, so I stayed and took a look. ”

After Zou Li stood up again and saluted one by one, he continued: "I heard that my nephew has been promoted to the Martial Sect, is it true?"

Zou Li replied: "I broke through a few months ago, but because I practiced in the mountains, I couldn't go back to the gang in time to register. ”

Wang Gang Master said: "It's not too late for you to register now, you are young, and breaking through to the Martial Sect is not only your opportunity and luck, but also the blessing of my gang." I heard that you practice Iron Bone Skill?"

Zou Li replied: "Exactly." ”

Gang Leader Wang pondered for a moment: "Iron Bone Gong is the main practice of my Gang Master to open the mountain, since the gang leader has been down to the present thousand years, only less than ten people have successfully practiced, and nearly a hundred people have only reached the Martial Sect for life, and some even martial artists can't break through." But if you break through to the Martial Sect in your twenties, you will definitely be in the top five. It is recorded in the self-help that no one has been able to successfully cultivate in the past three hundred years, and I hope you can break this record. ”

Zou Li said: "The disciple must work hard!"

Wang Gang Master said: "If you can't break through the innate nature, the lifespan of the Martial Sect is only eighty to one hundred years old. Now the Martial Sect is at the level of the Gang, and they are all over sixty years old. There are very few Liao Liao who can break through to the innate level, and the future of the Crouching Tiger Gang still depends on you.

To determine whether a gang declines or prospers, it still depends on the number of elders in the gang. Therefore, I hope that the junior and younger brothers will redouble their efforts and strive to break through the innate as soon as possible. After a pause, he said, "Can you break through to the Martial Sect in your twenties, and when you cultivate, have you used spirit stones and elixirs?"

When Zou Li heard this, he was shocked, "Could it be that the gang master who has cultivated by himself knows everything?"

After a pause, he said: "The junior brother often collects medicine in the mountains, and in order to collect more medicinal materials and complete the task of helping the middle, he often does not return for several months. In order to adjust the taste, often pick wild fruits in the mountains to satisfy hunger, once picking medicine was chased and killed, fled to the edge of the central area of Qin Mang Mountain, saw a fruit tree, there are several fruits on the tree, the disciple picked and ate one, a warm current appeared in the abdomen, hurriedly practiced and resolved, and found that the exercise progressed rapidly.

Suddenly remembered that this fruit seemed to be a first-grade spirit fruit, so he refined the remaining few fruits into an elixir, and swallowed one every time he broke the level. At the same time, the master and nephew are very fond of the best spirit jade, and after buying it, they often play with it in their hands.

Once I forgot to put it away, when I was practicing, I found that I was progressing faster, and before I knew it, I had broken through to the sixth layer of Iron Bone Gong. It's a pity that this spirit jade was also damaged, and I was amazed in my heart, and after repeated searches, only two pieces were found in the past five years. It is with these two pieces of spiritual jade that the junior disciple can advance to the Martial Sect. I wonder if this spirit jade is a spirit stone?"

The Wang Gang Master sighed: "The top-grade spirit jade you said can be used for cultivation is called a spirit stone. This kind of name is only circulated among innate martial artists and immortal cultivators, and it is extremely precious. In the gang, non-congenital elders cannot have it.

There are only a few people in the realm of this gang of martial arts who know about it. You can practice the Iron Bone Skill with a special physique, and you can get the help of spirit stones and spirit fruits, which is your luck. Now that I have registered for you, I just want to tell you that if you don't want to serve as a disciple of the Zhongwu Sect Realm, you can concentrate on cultivation, and you will also have a monthly salary.

It's just that now you've heard that there is a crisis in the gang, and it is a difficult time, I'm afraid you can't practice with peace of mind, and you still have to take on some ministries and do a little bit of responsibility for the gang, and you need your junior brother to understand. ”

Zou Li said: "To help the help, it is the disciple's business, but the disciple has not returned home for nearly three years, and wants to go home before taking up the ministry, I don't know if the helper will allow it?"

Gang Master Wang smiled and said, "Going home to visit your parents is the right thing to do. I grant you a month's vacation, and after a month you will come back to receive your ministry. Now, go out for a moment, wait outside the door, and then summon you in after I have discussed your ministry with the Great Elders. ”

After Zou Li went out, he said to Elder Qin and Hall Master Li, "Where do you think Senior Brother Zou should go?"

Elder Qin said, "Our gang is mainly focused on collecting medicine and jade. Collecting medicines, except for three percent of the medicinal materials to be picked in the mountains, the rest are planted in the gang. Jade mining is to control the unit price in the market. In addition to controlling the inflow from outside, our gang has only mined one jade mine in Honshu.

I heard that there were some strangers around the jade mine, and I hoped that the gang leader would pay attention to it and send more people to take charge. In addition to the small amount of spirit stones that can be obtained from the jade mine every year, some spirit stones have been flowed out in the form of superb spirit jade. In addition to the small amount of spirit stones that my gang needs to use to promote the elixir, I also have to take a few pieces to buy the required elixir, and there is not much left. Senior Brother Zou may have the opportunity to get additional spirit stones. ”

Gang Master Wang looked at Hall Master Li again, but Hall Master Li didn't make a sound, just nodded.

Immediately, the Wang gang leader passed Zou Li into the hall and said to Zou Li: "Are you willing to go to the jade mine to sit in the town, there is currently a congenital elder in the jade mine, and another martial sect." Recently, strangers have been wandering around the jade mine, and the gang is in urgent need of strengthening the guards, and plans to send another disciple of the Martial Sect Cultivator to assist. ”

Zou Li saw that he had the opportunity to contact the jade mine, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and said busily: "The disciple is willing." ”

Wang Gang Master said: "In this case, junior brother, please go back! After returning home to help, go directly to the jade mine." Something in the gang will pass on to you, and this is your secret mark in the future, and it will only be true when your secret note is in harmony with it. Otherwise, the junior and junior must abandon the task to avoid being deceived. Send someone back to help inquire afterwards to avoid being mistaken by the traitor, remember!"
