The mana that fell into Zhu Jiu's body in the talisman circulated, effectively strengthening his muscles and flesh.

Zhu Jiu's body began to make abnormal noises uninterruptedly, sometimes like the sound of a clanging qin, this was because the muscles and veins were strong to a certain extent, and the humming sound was emitted.

There is also the whistling sound of the long river, which is the sound of the blood in the body being tempered and full of vitality.

The sound suddenly turned, and there was a faint sound of drums, which was the sound of the heart and other core organs being strengthened and jumping with joy.

When the many voices coming from the body gradually fell silent, the practice was truly completed.

Zhu Jiu's mana finally stayed at the fourth-order middle grade, but it was far more stable than when ordinary people first broke through, as if they had been in the middle grade for a long time.

Physically, it feels like the whole body is full of endless energy, and all the senses around the body are also several times sharper.

At this time, Zhu Jiu looked back at the sea of knowledge, and the spirit map in it had stopped evolving, forming a complete miniature earth vein spirit map in the sea of knowledge.

This spiritual map is centered on the Demon Sea Demon City, radiating and extending in all directions, and its main manifestation location is the Endless Demon Sea.

When Zhu Jiu focused his thoughts on the Demon Sea, the scene on the sea immediately became larger, and the rest of the positions shrank accordingly, which was very magical!

The Demon Sea is vast, and the spirit map shows only the area within more than 10,000 miles of the sea, and there are more than a dozen small islands on it.

Zhu Jiu withdrew his thoughts from the sea of knowledge, breathed a little, and checked the time, this practice has passed in ignorance and unconsciousness for half a month.

After getting up, he took the ghost python and opened the door of the practice room, where a young man in a silver robe was waiting.

When the young man saw Zhu Jiu appear, he bowed slightly and said:

"Congratulations on your departure, I have been ordered to wait here and take you to see the chief steward. ”

Zhu Jiu followed behind the young man, all the way forward, more than ten minutes later, he came to the sixth floor of the square tower and a hall arranged like a daily narrative, the hall inherited the usual wide and high expansion of the buildings in the city, with an area of more than 100 meters and a height of more than 10 zhang, which seemed very empty.

At this time, there were only two people in the hall, one of whom Zhu Jiu knew, it was Mu Lian who had gone to greet him, and the remaining one was sitting on the main seat, middle-aged, slightly fat, and was getting up to greet Zhu Jiu who walked in, looking at it with blazing eyes, and then said with a smile on his face:

"Zhu Shao is really a handsome talent, it seems that there is a breakthrough in this practice. When Zhu Shao came more than ten days ago, I was discussing things with others, and I couldn't get out of my body, so don't blame me. ”

The voice of the voice makes it easy to produce a sense of intimacy and is very gentle.

Zhu Jiu knew that this slightly fat middle-aged man must be the chief steward here, and he was not lazy, so the two sides simply said a few polite words and sat down with each other.

The fat-faced middle-aged man smiled and said again:

"My name is Gong Changlong, in fact, you are not outsiders, most of our people in the Abyss Chamber of Commerce are from the Xingchen Mingyue Sect, hehe, you know, right!"

When this fat man spoke, he deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word 'Xingchen', and he had a wicked smile on his face, which made Zhu Jiu slightly stunned, this guy was quite jumpy in thinking, and he turned the topic to Su Xingchen at once.

Zhu Jiu shook his head slightly, but he had to admit that this guy has a unique way of talking, it is easy to shorten the distance between the two sides, and he is a shrewd and powerful businessman, no wonder he can be in charge of the abyss alone in the Demon Sea Demon City.

Zhu Jiu has been non-stop recently, and there has been no news of Su Xingchen in the past month, so he just asked back at this time:

"I don't know if Senior Brother Gong can know the recent movements of Xingchen?"

The fat man hurriedly looked at Mu Lian, the deputy steward beside him, and Mu Lian quickly replied:

"Miss Su's movements are always reported to the sect, and after a little attention, you can learn that she is walking in the north a few days ago, not far from the core power range of my sect, and there will be no risk, I wish you less to rest assured. ”

He continued with a playful expression:

"However, I heard that there are many chasers everywhere Miss Su goes, and it seems that there are many competitors in Zhu. ”

After speaking, several people looked at each other and smiled, and then turned to the topic, Gong Changlong sighed for a while, and said:

"Actually, it just so happened that Zhu Shao came, I also reported to the sect some time ago that I want to seconded an outstanding young disciple to participate in a sea tide hunting ceremony half a month after the Demon Sea Demon City, which is related to how many resources produced by the Demon Sea can be controlled in the next five years, so it is a very important matter, since Zhu Shao is here, he may wish us a hand?"

Zhu Jiu did not agree immediately, but asked back:

"What does Zongnai say?"

This time it was Mu Lian who explained:

"The sect replied that it was arranging for one of the seven core disciples of your generation to come on the way, but it was too far away, and some people frequently intercepted and killed halfway, although they didn't succeed, but it greatly delayed the time, and it seems that they may not be able to arrive in time. If Zhu Shao agrees to participate in this sea tide hunt, we can let the people who come not have to worry, and take this opportunity to set up a situation in turn to see who ate the leopard's gall and dared to intercept and kill my abyss core disciple. ”

When Zhu Jiu heard this, his eyes wandered, and he suddenly said with a sneer:

"Since the people who came from our sect were attacked halfway, if we didn't react, wouldn't we be looked down upon by people hiding in the shadows. ”

Gong Changlong's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked:

"I don't know if Zhu Shao has any good proposals? We were also going to make arrangements to hunt down this secret manipulator. There is no doubt that the people who dare to intercept and kill the disciples of my sect must be other chambers of commerce, but the power behind these chambers of commerce is not bad, not more than ordinary, so it is not possible to list the few suspicious ones as the target of retaliation, so it is still a little difficult to determine how to start this. ”

Zhu Jiu chuckled and shook his head:

"My purpose is to make these chambers of commerce nervous, and save us a loss. At this time, there is only less than half a month before the start of the hunt, and there must have been important people from the major chambers of commerce coming, I will go to attack and kill a few tonight, whoever comes first will be unlucky. ”

Gong Changlong laughed gloomily after hearing this, and this gloomy smile appeared on his kind fat face, and there was a trace of extraordinarily hideous. The fat guy laughed and said:

"Although Zhu Shao's proposal is good, it is extremely dangerous, these characters who rushed over to prepare to participate in the sea tide hunt are all strong young masters, almost all of them have the same strength as Zhu Shao, and once it is found that it is our hand, the trouble is not small!"

Zhu Jiu nodded slightly, and then was slightly silent, as if he had thought about it carefully, and asked again later:

"What kind of background do the nine chambers of commerce participating in the sea tide hunt have, and what are the special things that need attention?"

Gong Changlong was not disgusted with Zhu Jiu's caution at all, but had a little appreciation, only by being cautious in advance, and the person who really acted like thunder was a true hero, he could stand above the group for a long time, so he patiently explained:

"There are two reasons why we are ranked seventh among the nine major chambers of commerce, and not higher ranking, one is that this place is really far away from the core power range of my sect, that is, we have been continuously teleported back with a teleportation array along the way, and it will take more than a month to say the least, therefore, many things are not convenient enough, and a lot of timing has been delayed, and secondly, the time we have squeezed into these nine major chambers of commerce is far behind the rest, so the accumulation is slightly insufficient. ”

Zhu Jiu listened to Gong Changlong say something first, and he hadn't explained his problem yet, and he wasn't in a hurry, but listened carefully and motioned to continue, this time it was Mu Liandao:

"Because this city is adjacent to the Demon Sea, it is rich in resources, and most of the powerful forces in the known world have branches here, and many powerful forces wrestle with each other, and only the top nine can finally have the qualification to reside in the core of the city. ”

Mu Lian spoke quickly when he said this, and his eyes were also a little excited, and he said:

"If there is something good in the Demon Sea, these nine families will take the lion's share first, so every time the competition for the sea tide hunting that is related to the ranking of the Chamber of Commerce is extremely fierce, and our goal this time is to enter the top five. Don't think that we are now ranked seventh, the goal of the top five does not seem to be difficult, in fact, these nine chambers of commerce are not simple, and they all have extremely powerful giant sects behind them, and even..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Gong Changlong, and it seemed that he didn't know whether it was appropriate to say something, but Gong Changlong did not hesitate, nodded very affirmatively, and signaled Mu Lian to say that it was okay.
