"Damn, why didn't you say it earlier, do you know how much time I spent refining this Wind Mothma!3g?!"

"Of course I know, if it weren't for my guidance, would it be possible for you to wait for the Wind Bead to be refined so quickly?" Qing Ling didn't care, looking at Zhou Leopard, whose face had already begun to distort, and said neatly, "Didn't you already know that this Wind Bead was not finished!" If it was a pure yang magic weapon, there would be no such situation at all, but unfortunately, he was just a mystery-level magic weapon, do you think that this stumped all the strong people in the world is really so easy to conquer? A fake and shoddy wind bead like you, it is good to be able to hold on to it until now!"

"Then you should have told me earlier!"

"Is there any difference between telling you early and telling you now, telling you early will you be able to turn this Dingfeng Bead into pure yang? Qing Ling sneered, "Boy, you have gained enough benefits in this Biluo Secret Realm, you will be content." Ba!" Yes, contentment—contentment!" Zhou Bao thought about it, and felt that this was also a very helpless thing, although he felt very sorry for the materials he had refined to formulate the wind beads, but thinking about the harvest in this Biluo Secret Realm, he had already recovered the cost, and he had made a lot of money, and there was nothing to regret, besides, although those materials were precious, since he could get together one copy, he would naturally be able to make up the second one, with his current strength and the resources he mastered, one day he would refine the pure Yang magic weapon level Wind Bead, and at that time, this Biluo Secret Realm would not also become his family's own placeThinking about this joint, he let go of the unhappiness in his heart.

Compared to entering the Biluo Secret Realm, the way back was much smoother, because he was afraid that the Dingfeng Bead would suddenly lose its effect, Zhou Leopard weakened the range it covered to half a square circle, and left the Biluo Secret Realm as quickly as possible, leaving the Biluo Cave Heaven, and when he appeared at the exit of his own ore vein, he was frightened.

Why?

Because there are too many people here, in addition to the king snake, the old golden rooster, Zhang Yuelu, and the Void Sun Mouse, even Qing Lao is also there, there are a total of four people behind Qing Lao, and their breath is also a strong man of seven or eight grades, wearing clothes of twenty-eight houses, thinking that they are also members of the twenty-eight houses of the fairy palace.

Ever since they saw the magic circle at the entrance glow, everyone's eyes were staring at the smooth glass-like wall, until Zhou Leopard appeared, and their eyes turned to Zhou Leopard's body again, and Zhou Leopard was twitching in their hearts.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?!" Zhou Bao twitched the corners of his mouth and asked.

"You have refined the Wind Bead?!" This is the first sentence of Qing Lao, and the second sentence is, "Can the Wind Bead really naturally enter and exit in the tide of vitality?!"

Zhou Bao was stunned for a moment, and then, looking at Qing Lao's oily eyes, he laughed, "Yes, the Dingfeng Bead is indeed a free entry and exit of the vitality tide, but unfortunately, it can only be regarded as a disposable product!"

As he spoke, he took out the wind beads that had tended to collapse, "Look, I went in and out, although I was safe, but it was also ruined!"

Qing Lao hurriedly scooped up Zhou Leopard's Dingfeng Bead, looked up and down carefully, and a happy color flashed in his eyes.

"Disposables, it's okay, just go in!" Speaking of this, he looked up at Zhou Bao and said, "It's hard for you to be able to collect so much wealth in such a short period of time!"

"No way, this is also forced!" Zhou Bao smiled bitterly, "However, with the strength of the Immortal Palace, it shouldn't be difficult to search for enough materials, right?!"

"Yes, it's not difficult, within a year, we should be able to gather five or six sets of materials to make Dingfeng beads!" Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhou Bao thoughtfully, " This Dingfeng Bead should be your Keishui Leopard's, but last time it was mainly because the materials were not enough, so I would give you another 10,000-year-old peach sacred wood, this time, no matter what reason you have, you entered the Biluo Secret Realm, which proves that the Dingfeng Bead can enter and exit freely in the Yuan Qi tide, and the entrance to this Biluo Secret Realm is also discovered by you, and has made a great contribution to my Immortal Palace, your Dingfeng Bead is destroyed, and we will naturally compensate for it!”

And this good thing?!Zhou Bao obviously didn't expect Qing Lao to say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Okay, it's really good, Qing Lao, your old man is really too wise, wise to the extreme, I have a leader like you in the Immortal Palace, how can it be underdeveloped?!!hahahahaha!"

"Come on, stop the sycophants!" After listening to Zhou Bao's words, Qing Lao couldn't help but wave his hand and said, "I'm not the leader of the Immortal Palace, I'm just in charge of your twenty-eight nights and external affairs!"

"That's our leader!" Zhou Bao said with a shy face.

"Don't shoot anymore, let's get down to business, boy, this time I will get a lot of benefits from going in. Bar!?

"The benefit of fart, all the vitality is stuck together, I just collected a little bit of extreme yin evil qi and practiced a magic technique, it's not a big deal!"

"Practice a strange art?!" Qing Lao was stunned for a moment, looking a little different, and then laughed, "I'm afraid, it's not just a strange art, kid, your cultivation should have broken through the eighth grade, it's just that your internal qi is more special, so it's not tempered!"

"Good eyesight!"

"It's all my own people here, there's no need to hide so much!" Qing Lao said with a smile, pointed to a few people behind him, and then pointed to Lao Jinji and others, "These guys are all unruly, they only recognize strength, the stronger your strength, the more they will agree, so, if you have strength, don't hide it, just one or two killer features!"

Everyone laughed.

"Being able to work to clear the boss, it seems that this Biluo Secret Realm is much more valuable than I imagined!"

"If it's just the value of a year and two months, I naturally don't use it, but if you can get in and out during the vitality tide, then the value is very different, you have entered it once, naturally you know what I'm talking about!"

"Of course, as long as there is a fixed wind bead, entering the vitality tide to condense the Gang Qi is undoubtedly the best choice!" Zhou Bao slashed the iron and said, "There is also the cultivation of foreign arts, which is also twice the result with half the effort, as long as you have patience, you can bury those evil qi in your head!"

Saying this, the eyes of everyone around them lit up one by one, these people are all _b Eight Grades" and have already condensed Gang Qi, therefore, it is not necessary to enter the Refining Gang Qi of the Vitality Tide, but they don't need it doesn't mean that others don't need it.

In addition to being the stars of the Immortal Palace, there is another identity in this secular world, and this identity is never too low, there are many people who have children of the sect, if there are good quality of these disciples, high cultivation, and need to condense the Gang Qi, then, in the tide of the vitality of the Biluo Secret Realm is the best choice, and, in addition to condensing the Gang Qi, the various spiritual energy and evil qi in the Biluo Secret Realm are also suitable for cultivating various powerful arts, after all, a place like the Biluo Secret Realm that is filled with evil qi for ten months a year is as good as todayAnd that's all there is to it.

Looking at these excited stars, Zhou Bao seemed to hear their fluctuating heartbeats and excited blood circulation, and the cultivation and cultivation of the eight grades could not hide the greedy eyes like wolves in their eyes.

"There's one thing I'm talking about!" Zhou Bao suddenly said, "I don't care how to use the entrance and exit of this Biluo Secret Realm, but I don't want everyone in the world to know about this matter!"

"Of course, even if you don't say anything about the entrance and exit of this Biluo Secret Realm, we will keep it secret!"

"That's it!" Zhou Bao's face was happy, and he smiled in front of Qing Lao, "Qing Lao,." And brothers, come from afar, everyone is prosperous, to my territory, I must entertain everyone, come, everyone, please!"

"No need, the first thing we came here to do is to confirm that this entrance has been built, and the second is to confirm your safety, since you are all right, there is no need for us to stay here!" Qing Lao smiled and patted Zhou Bao on the shoulder, "Besides, if we stay here for a long time and are looked at by other well-intentioned people, maybe there will be some trouble!" Zhou Bao nodded, did not speak, and respectfully forced Qing Lao and the others to leave.

After a few months of retreat in the Biluo Secret Realm, Mei left a lot of things in the territory, "waiting for him to be decided."

Although he has always been a shopkeeper who shakes his hands, after all, he is a lord, and as he opened up the entire black-tailed thick passage, the entire northwest land began to become prosperous, and he is the starting point and transit station of the entire passage, his territory has naturally become the focus of the entire north, and there are many things that Jiang Xiao and Zhu Scar can not come up with.

As for the king snake, this guy came to Zhou Leopard's territory, purely to play soy sauce, and the master he brought is obviously here to do the same business, except for the milk to eat and drink, it is useless to be a bit of Zhengkui, in the words of the king snake, he came here mainly to be a thug, but now there is no one who has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall to plant Zhou Leopard's trouble, then, there is no need for them to go out.

Indeed, now there is no longer a long-sighted trouble to come to Zhou Bao, but there are more and more envoys from major families, sects, and major business groups, and they come here mainly to discuss cooperation with Zhou Bao in the future.

Some of these things Jiang Xiao can call the shots, but some can't be the masters.

Zhou Leopard will use the Jin Xi Flame Mirror to open the passage of the Black Tail Plains this time, but he is not Lei Feng, the area of the Black Tail Plains is huge, and there is also a kind of demon beast that he tamed inside, Zhou Leopard will naturally not turn such a large range of Black Tail Plains into a thoroughfare, in fact, he just opened a straight line passage from the Pressing Dragon River to his territory, all the goods from the Pressing Dragon River can go directly to Zhou Leopard's territory through this passage, as for the territories of other lords bordering the Black Tail Plain, but there is no such treatment, Zhou Leopard also helped them open the passage, but this passage is from their territory to Zhou Leopard's territory, and they want goods, they all have to be transferred from Zhou Bao's territory, just like Jiangxin Island back then, doing such a thing, Jiangcheng Navy is very familiar.

So at the beginning, Jiang Xiao and the others did not encounter any difficulties, but as time went by, more and more people realized the importance of the shortcut of Heiweiyuan, and more and more people realized the preciousness of the transit department between Zhou Bao's territory and Heiweiyuan, and more and more businessmen saw the huge business opportunities and flocked to it, and in a few months, Jiang Xiao was so busy that he almost cried.

There are too many people, they can't receive it at all, Zhou Bao's territory is a wasteland, there are no facilities, even the transit place bordering the Black Tail Plains is just a wide grassland, there is no human population at all, Jiang Xiao They originally wanted to build a big cargo creation first, the pass, just like they did in Jiangxin Island back then, but they forgot that this is not Jiangxin Island, and the market they face is not a small Jiangcheng, but the entire north of the Zhulong River, the entire northwest, although it is deserted now, but business opportunities are created, never underestimate the shrewd vision of businessmen。

So, soon, a lot of simple temporary tents were set up on that vast grassland to stack goods, and more and more people asked to see Zhou Bao.

Of course, not everyone is qualified to see Zhou Bao, most of them are asking to see Jiang Xiao, and now everyone knows that he is Zhou Bao's big butler and the upstart in this northwest territory.

It can be said that Jiang Xiao is now the hottest figure in the entire Northwest, and he is sent all day long, and he is very busy, where can Jiang Xiao be compared to being a small naval army captain.

However, he also understood it tightly in his heart, the reason why he has today, and he has such a status, is completely due to Zhou Bao, if it weren't for Zhou Bao doing so many things, how could those high-ranking big people look down on themselves as a boy from Qiu Ba? Therefore, the more this is the case, the more cautious he becomes, and many things that he can make decisions on his own will not dare to make random decisions, so when Zhou Bao returned to his residence, he saw that there were already more than a foot thick official documents on the table, and the whole person was stunned.

"Jiang Xiao, what do you mean, isn't it Chengxin, I just came back, and let me deal with so many things?!"

"No, my lord, these are extremely important things, and my subordinates don't dare to make decisions on their own, so I can only wait for you to come back!"

"How important it is, I said, the matter of the territory, you just look at it, don't bother me with these things, if it really doesn't work, just recruit some people to come over, if there is something, tell me, don't get so many things in front of me, I don't have the heart to look at it!"

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates understand!" Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly, "My lord, even if you tie up these official documents, some things should be done, you got through the black tail thick communication, "Jair, we have become the center of the northwest all of a sudden, I don't have enough manpower now, and I can't handle many things, and-!"

"If there are not enough people, recruit people, as long as there are many people, there is nothing that cannot be handled, and you still use a special door to tell me about these things?!" Zhou Bao glared at him, "Jiang Xiao, I told you, "Don't worry about it, don't worry about me, my mind is not on this, so you don't have to bear lu+-1" Also, my lord, in addition to these official documents, during your retreat, many people wanted to ask to see you, but I blocked them, but the identity of a few people is really special, I'm afraid, sad to see!"

"Oh, it's a special identity, let's hear it!"

There are many people who want to see Zhou Bao, but there are not many people who are really qualified to see him.

Zhou Bao's status is mainly composed of three aspects, one is the $\} position given to him by the Great Jin Imperial Court, if you talk about it from this aspect, there are many people who are qualified to see him, most of the people Jiang Xiao sees are qualified to see him, and on the other hand, the seventh-grade powerhouse is now the eighth-grade, but others don't know, close to the combat power of the ninth grade, on this aspect, it brushes off more than half of the people, and the third aspect, the spokesperson of Tianlong Dao who strives to support in the northwest! The three aspects add up, to sum up, among all the people who came to the northwest, there are only a few people who are qualified to let him meet in person, one is Yun Peng, the vice president of the Xinglong Chamber of Commerce of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the other is Nie Wuxian, the Qin Cha of the imperial court.

Xinglong Chamber of Commerce, a very vulgar and popular name, but this name has existed for tens of thousands of years, it is one of the three largest chambers of commerce in the Great Jin Dynasty and even the entire Central Plains, there are countless large and small families standing behind it, and there are some mysterious sects, this seemingly ordinary Chamber of Commerce, if it really initiates the force, it is even more powerful than the Great Jin Dynasty, the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty is only a few hundred years of work, and this Chamber of Commerce has existed for tens of thousands of years, compared with the Anyuan Hall made by Zhou Bao and the Xinglong Chamber of Commerce, it is no longer the difference between ants and elephants, but the difference between ants and blue whales, and the overlord face, as long as the Xinglong Chamber of Commerce is willing, any finger can poke An Yuantang to deathIn the same way, as long as the Xinglong Chamber of Commerce is happy, it can also easily make Anyuan Hall prosperous.

No one knows who the president of the Xinglong Chamber of Commerce is, this Yun Peng is the person in charge of the Xinglong Chamber of Commerce, and his status is extremely high, so Jiang Xiao will list him as a list of people that Zhou Bao has to see, as for the other Nie Wuxian, needless to say, the imperial court is poor, representing the face of the imperial court, no matter what you Zhou Bao says, you are still a person from the Great Jin Dynasty, naturally you can't be neglected.

Hearing Jiang Xiao explain the powerful relationship, Zhou Bao pondered, "Where is that Yun Hide?" I'll go see him now, as for Nie Wuxian, since he has been waiting for so long, let him wait for another two days!"

"Yes, I'll go and invite the cloud meeting to come up immediately!"

"No, no, no, I'll see him personally!" Zhou Bao waved his hand and said, since you want to do it, you must do it in place, and you can't let people pick the courtesy, otherwise, it's better not to do it.

Yun Pu and Nie Wushu were both placed in the best courtyard, which made Jiang Xiao feel fortunate that the courtyards of the two were far apart, otherwise, Zhou Bao went to see Yun Peng alone, but he left Nie Wushu aside, which was really a matter of sweeping the face of the imperial court.

Yun Pu doesn't look very old, he is in his early forties, he is in the prime of life, and his cultivation is not weak, and he is a five-grade master, and when he is put on the river and sea, he can be regarded as a ton-worthy role, but as the vice president of the Xinglong Chamber of Commerce, this strength is a chicken rib, especially when there is an eight-grade powerhouse standing next to him.

When did the strong become so worthless and run to his territory?

Let the eight-rank powerhouse be his bodyguard, this Xinglong Chamber of Commerce, it's really a big deal! As soon as the eight-rank powerhouse saw Zhou Bao, his expression was also moved, he knew that Zhou Bao was a seventh-grade powerhouse, and there was also a pure yang magic weapon, and he had calculated other nine-rank powerhouses with the king snake, so he had already regarded Zhou Leopard very high in his heart, but after seeing Zhou Bao, he was surprised to find that he still underestimated this Zhou Leopard.

He couldn't even see the depth of Zhou Bao's cultivation.

At this time, Zhou Bao's spirit was completely restrained, and he didn't have a trace of breath at all, looking "like an ordinary seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, but his eyes revealed a maturity that did not match his age."

"Senior Zhou Bao, I've seen President Yun!"

Entering the door, Zhou Bao arched his hand first, with a very subtle smile on his face.

"Hahaha, I've long heard that Yunzhou Zhou Bao is the first young hero of my Great Jin Dynasty, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name!"

Yun Pu greeted him with a big smile, "I came to see Lord Zhou the day before yesterday, and I heard that the adults were in retreat, so I didn't dare to disturb each other, and now that the adults are out of the customs, I want to come and cultivate one level higher, right?!"

"President Yun said that he laughed, Zhou Leopard's sudden advance led to a poor foundation, so he often needs to retreat to stabilize the foundation, which makes the chairman laugh!"

The two foxes, one big and one small, were polite, and then they started to talk about the topic.

After more than ten years of education, Zhou Bao, who knows a little about economics, naturally will not do the stupid thing of setting up checkpoints to collect tariffs as often said in books, in fact, as a desolate place without independent industries and products, the most important thing is not to collect taxes, but to exempt taxes, attract businessmen, attract population, and attract business.

Therefore, the two sides talked happily. In fact, there is nothing to talk about, the specific things have already been discussed with Jiang Xiao by Yun Bao's subordinates, Zhou Bao came over today just to give Yun Peng's face, to give face to the Xinglong Chamber of Commerce, and then, it is a passing scene, both sides sign a letter, it is a bit like a signing ceremony in the future.

Therefore, in front of a few fake chats, after telling a few meat jokes, and exchanging gifts, they opened a banquet to eat, drink and have fun, and dispersed happily, and did not talk about any substantive content, but only determined a cooperative relationship between Anyuantang and Xinglong Chamber of Commerce and Zhou Bao's opening of the northwest market.

After sending Yun Peng away, Zhou Bao went back directly to rest, and as for Lord Qincha of the imperial court, he was going to see him in two days.

It's just that he didn't expect that early the next morning, Nie Wuxian came to ask to see him, obviously he learned the news that Zhou Bao went to see Yun Peng yesterday.

Since the person has already come, there is naturally no reason to push it away, and Zhou Bao doesn't want to be honest because of this, so he should be quite respectful.
