Yu Mu has been following Lao Mai, maybe she has seen a lot of scenes during this time, she is no longer childish in public, but very quiet and ladylike, she is smiling and not saying a word, just highlighting Lao Mai's existence, all the people present are administrative leaders, and it is not easy to laugh with the female companion of the distinguished guest, so Yu Mu seems to not exist at the banquet.

Lao Mai sighed and said to Lao Lan: "You didn't call me, I didn't know that the term change was over at the end of September, and the time passed in a flash." ”

Lao Lan said: "Yes, every term in the future will be five years, you are good, give up politics and go into business." ”

Lao Mai sighed: "I have no way out in this area, so I have to change careers, we have a few college classmates, and you will be the only one left to work hard in the system in the future."

Lao Lan said with emotion: "I am 41 years old this year, I have to speed up the pace in the future, I can't finish this session, I have to change positions in two years, enough for three years to promote two deputy department positions, and I am seeking to be promoted to the deputy department in the future, the time is a little tight, but after the age of fifty, there is little hope." ”

Lao Mai said: "What can help you, even if you squeak, I can use a large amount of business funds in the company, and it is no problem to support you financially, and the headquarters building will be bridged to the residential building as a rest room after it is completed, and a set will be left for you to rest at that time." ”

Lao Lanhaha said with a smile: "For the artillery room, ha, then thank you first, and the matter of funding will be waived." ”

Lao Mai Zhengse said: "I know that your southbound cadre families are very old-fashioned, and there are not many things involving shopping malls, and now the things in the officialdom, I know that there are prices, and the money will not be used in the future, don't take it from those bosses, who knows what will happen, the source of my side, you can definitely rest assured." ”

Lao Lan patted Lao Mai's strong shoulder, nodded and said, "Okay, when the time comes, I'll talk about it later, Lao Mai, I wish you a smooth journey." ”

......

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2003, the Jinshi Zongfang Outer Hall (Dongfu) and the secular headquarters (building) were all completed and opened, and two opening ceremonies were held at the same time.

In fact, there are two slows in the world to do construction projects, one is slow to apply for approval, and the other is slow to get funds.

As for the construction period, it is completely controllable, the aforementioned two slow does not exist, dozens of floors of the building a few days to build a floor, enough qualified construction companies can do, you don't see the previous newspapers, has advertised three days of one floor "Shenzhen speed".

Needless to say, it is completely a process of small reconstruction and decoration, the headquarters building is still in the case of the need to place the formation equipment, the underground part of the construction was completed in October of the same year, transferred to the ground construction, to the end of March The main building was capped, and all the construction stages of the civil part were completed on the eve of May Day, and the interior and exterior wall decoration were completed, plus the final arrangement of the formation ban was completed.

In this year, Lao Mai has paid great energy and hard work to the layout of the formation prohibition of the cave mansion and the headquarters building.

Two large-scale composite formations were forbidden, and he took Liu Zhongming's group of people to run between the two headquarters day and night, repeatedly testing and modifying, with his skills, even if he built a solid cement prefabrication, there was no problem, and Lao Zhenren was also melted into the cement pillar by him at will.

For more than a year, the arrangement of the two large-scale composite formations has comprehensively trained Lao Mai's ability to set up formation prohibitions, and so far his level in formation prohibitions has reached a very high level.

The formation is based on the layout of the terrain, and the ban is the application of the spell in the formation, and at the same time, his skill on the rune is also rising, and the rune is actually a way to ban the mobile application of the spell.

Watching the prohibition of the composite formation of the cave mansion and the headquarters building activated one after another, through the spirit gathering formation, the five elements of spiritual power in the sky and the earth's veins were slowly extracted, maintaining the operation of the dormant period.

Lao Mai was full of ambition for a while, and deeply felt that the Jinshi Sect had stood up today, unlike in the previous Mu Qingzi era, when he was always worried about the lack of talent, and the sect was finally plotted to be robbed.

In fact, in addition to the double happiness of the cave mansion and the headquarters building, there is still a joy in secret, only Lao Mai himself knows, that is, he has advanced to the middle stage of Jindan, and he used the power of the middle stage of Jindan to start the operation of the two major composite formation prohibitions, and its power is obviously much greater.

However, he didn't plan to announce the matter of entering the middle stage of Jindan, anyway, in this mortal realm now, no one else has been able to enter Jindan Avenue, and others don't understand it, only envy in vain.

Moreover, more than a year has passed, and Zhao Ruizong, who is expected to advance to Jindan Avenue, has not yet heard the news of the final success.

Lao Mai entered the middle stage of Jindan, and he achieved it quietly while continuing to travel around the world to gather spiritual energy underground, and to do his best to lay out formation prohibitions.

When he found that the gray runes lying in the dantian began to shine and fly, he realized that he had reached the middle stage, which was a bit crying and laughing for Lao Mai, who had no bottlenecks in the small realm and was a matter of course.

The exercise tree in the sea of knowledge silently has more branches and leaves, and what exercises are there, which has to be checked slowly by Lao Mai, as for the main exercise method of the earth system, it has also advanced to the fifth layer, and its cultivation has naturally increased significantly, of course, if it is not applied in practice, it will not be obviously felt.

During this period, there was a strange thing, that is, the mud ball stolen from the strange wood bonsai, with Lao Mai's advanced middle stage, it had swelled to the size of a handball, and there was no obvious expansion in size, sometimes, he felt as if it had stopped expanding, and it didn't absorb much earth-based aura, at most slightly absorbing his true yuan power.

Lao Mai pondered for a long time, wondering if the mud ball was because the original mud was not enough to support it to continue to expand, so he started to steal some more, so while Yu Mu was asleep at night, he went to steal a ball of similar size to the original and melted into the mud ball.

As a result, the handball-sized mud ball obviously sucked in the earth aura, and it seemed that the original absorption of Lao Mai's own true yuan power was only used to regulate fusion, at most it was used to maintain vitality.

When Lao Mai was flipping through the exercise tree, he accidentally found that there was a method of refining the incarnation outside the body, mentioning that it can be refined with the essence of the earth, and the effect is best if it is refined with the soil.

The incarnation outside the body can be refined into both a human body and a beast body, and the human body has the best ability to inherit it, and it can also be exchanged for the deity and the doppelganger when it is refined with the earth, and of course, it also requires a pure earth human body to do this.

After refining the human body, how to lay out the meridian organs of the human body, Lao Mai skipped it first, and suddenly thought of it, will the original soil of this mud ball be the rest of the soil, otherwise how can it absorb the aura of heaven and earth and grow up automatically?

Lao Mai on the Internet Baidu, the explanation of the soil in ancient times has a lot of legends, its actual connotation is only one sentence, that is, the so-called "soil", that is a kind of soil that can grow automatically.

There is a question of why in that bonsai, why does this soil that is suspected of being a polyphonic soil not grow and swell out of its own accord? It can only be swelled when it is extracted and brought outside, and the extent of swelling is limited, and it seems that it cannot be swollen as much as it was used in ancient times, and can be used to plug up floods.

Lao Mai was puzzled, and once again stole the bonsai placed next to the sleeping Yu Mu's pillow, went back to his room to take a closer look, and found that the body of the pot that seemed to be made of stoneware was not simple, it was deliberately made of stoneware.

After looking at it repeatedly, he also found traces of the ban, as if it was made before the firing of ceramics, and the purpose was presumably to limit the loss of soil fertility and automatic swelling and overflow.

Lao Mai finally came to the conclusion that this soil must be the soil, and the producer used it to keep this strange tree alive, because its age of manufacture is no longer known, and it is very old and long, but the strange tree always maintains its original appearance, does not grow and does not wither, as if it has been solidified with time.

Lao Mai Xiuwei has reached the middle stage of Jindan, not only has his whole body strength increased significantly, but the Jindan suspended in the dantian seems to have also swelled up, and the golden bright color has also increased.

Although you can breathe a sigh of relief after advancing, it is impossible to stop there, and there are also advanced Jindan later stage and broken pill infancy and subsequent cultivation stages.

In the days that followed, Lao Mai was still cultivating all over the world by drilling into the ground to absorb the earth spiritual energy, and he also carried the mud ball on the side, and the mud ball seemed to follow his cultivation, growing stronger and stronger, and finally reached the shape of the handball and doubled in size, and it stopped again.

So he hit the idea of stealing the soil again, since he discovered the method of refining the incarnation outside the body, he intended to use this point of the earth to refine an incarnation outside the body, if after refining the deity and the doppelganger can be exchanged at will, or relatively independent, it will be cool.

Before Lao Mai stole Yu Mu's bonsai soil again, he first pinched the original mud ball into a human shape that resembled himself, laid out the internal organs and body veins, and felt that he could do it before he went to steal the soil.

Every time, I steal it in a small group, to see if it will affect the layout of the original body, and continue to steal when I see that there is no impact.

Lao Mai has been a mud thief again and again, and when this doppelganger blank swells to one meter five according to the proportions of his own body, he was discovered by Yu Mu Clues.

Although every time he stole mud, Lao Mai always made up a ball of compressed chalk, because he found that chalk was the best material for kneading clay figures.

However, the yellow-brown polyp that had been replaced too much gradually showed signs of whitening, and Lao Mai himself estimated that he had stolen about half of it.

One day, Yu Mu held the strange wood bonsai, stared at Lao Mai with a sharp mouth and said, "Brother Mai, you stole my bonsai mud." ”

Lao Mai smiled awkwardly: "How could I steal your bonsai mud, and you can't eat it." ”

Yu Mu bit his lip and said, "Senior Brother said that I am a wood attribute and naturally like trees, Brother Mai, you are an earth attribute and naturally like mud." ”

Lao Mai smiled and said: "Even if I am an earth attribute, there is mud everywhere outside, so I don't need to steal your bonsai mud." ”

Lao Mai has never been able to bear to deceive Yu Mu, but this time it is related to the great plan of refining the incarnation outside the body, if he admits it, he will definitely have to return it, in that case, there will not be enough materials for refining the doppelganger, and if he condenses the earth-based essence, the effect will not be as good as the rest of the soil, so this time he decided not to admit it.
