In the Hall of Elder Feng Zhihu, Ouyang De, Dong Hexiang and Wei Qiyin sat in turn.

Ouyang De and Dong Hexiang both had smiles on their faces, obviously in a very happy mood. And Wei Qiyin is still grim and cold.

"Old Five, I didn't expect that you have been in retreat for less than a year, and your cultivation has improved so much, looking at the momentum, you should have reached the peak of the early stage of Jindan, right?" Ouyang De touched his beard and said to Elder Dong Hexiang Dong with a smile.

Dong Hexiang took a sip of the spiritual tea in his hand, and said in high spirits: "Senior brother Gao Jian, senior brother has indeed advanced a lot, and he is one step away from the middle stage, if it weren't for Feng'er's new foundation building and needing guidance, I might have gone straight to the middle stage of Jindan in one go." ”

"Alas, the junior brother is too hasty, why don't you advance to the middle stage and then go out of the customs? It's a pity! Chang Feng, I will go to give advice, I hope the junior brother will not be so childish next time!" Ouyang De said regretfully.

Although he said this, he knew in his heart that although this mid-stage promotion was a small level, much simpler than the large level, and there was no calamity, it was also extremely difficult. It is also necessary for the five elders to come out of the customs to adjust it, and the so-called sharpening of the knife is not wrong for the woodcutter, and it is really not bad for this moment and a half. The reason why he said this was also to show his concern and respect for the five elders.

"There is a senior brother in charge of the Lao family, and the junior brother will pay attention next time. However, this Feng'er is different from my other disciples, although I have three disciples under my name, but what the senior brother knows, the others I have never really instructed, they are all themselves in Tiandu Peak, let it develop, in the end both of them are obsessed with refining weapons, only Feng'er is like me, the master kills. The fact that the foundation was built so smoothly this time was even more joyful for me! Dong Hexiang breathed a long sigh of relief and said.

"Alas, forget it, as long as the junior brother is comfortable. I don't know how the other juniors and disciples are cultivating well, if they all make such rapid progress like you, then my Huachen will be saved!" Ouyang De nodded and said.

"This senior brother is relieved, the other senior brothers are better than me, and there will definitely be progress. Oh, I'm very interested in this disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Root of Senior Brother, such a genius, how did Senior Brother get it?" Dong Hexiang said with a relaxed face, and at the same time, he looked at Wei Qiyin, who was cool in the lower position, and asked.

"Hehe, Qiyin was adopted by me since I was a child, and it is purely providential. He is also the hope of my Huachen Zhongxing, and I hope that my junior brother will take good care of it in the future. Ouyang De said with a smile.

"Well, Senior Brother is really a blessing! It's just that Senior Brother doesn't know something, this Senior Brother has reached the peak of the end of foundation building, why don't you go to the Dan as soon as possible? With the talent of the Heavenly Spirit Root, I'm afraid that the chance of getting the Dan will be very high, right?"

"Are you sure about Qiyin?" Ouyang De opened his mouth and asked Wei Qiyin directly.

Wei Qiyin was stunned for a moment, and then replied respectfully with his fists: "Qiyin is not talented, I am sure that there is, but I am not in a hurry." I want to lay a solid foundation, and my strength should be better after the marriage. I have seen Dongfang Caixia, her Jindan power is at least several times that of ordinary Jindan, if I marry Dan now, I will definitely be much worse than her. ”

"Oh, Dongfang Caixia, have you seen Dongfang Caixia?" Dong Hexiang looked at Ouyang De suspiciously.

Ouyang De shook his head, sighed and said: "Alas, junior brother doesn't know, the last time Dongfang Caixia came to my Huachen, I originally hoped that she could take a fancy to a certain talent in my Huachen and form an immortal cultivator, but it backfired. Senior brother, don't worry, I also deliberately brought Chang Feng that day, but this Caixia Fairy didn't take a fancy to any of my Huachen, alas, it's just providence, I can't force it. ”

Dong Hexiang was about to ask again, when a silver light flashed, and a transmission note accurately landed on Ouyang De's coffee table. Ouyang De used his divine sense to sweep it, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"Master, is that Tianjiu back?" Wei Qiyin said with a smile.

"Huh, how do you know? He's really back, and I heard he's coming back to his life. ”

"He has the imprint of my divine consciousness on him, and I can sense it as soon as he comes within a mile of me. Wei Qiyin said with a slight meaning.

"Nonsense! Qiyin, although you are his uncle, it is very immoral to trace the mark on the body of your fellow disciple at will. After he arrives in a moment, you remember to remove the tracking mark. ”

Ouyang De said angrily, but it seemed that he was just pretending, not really angry.

After Ouyang De finished speaking, he whispered to the outside of the hall: "Come in, Tianjiu." ”

The voice was not loud, but the voice was like a ray of light, shooting directly out of the door, and clearly falling into the ears of Tianjiu, who was waiting at the foot of the steps of the Zhizhu Hall half a mile away.

After hearing this, Tianjiu hurriedly rushed in, and after a few breaths, he landed in the hall.

"Disciple Tianjiu, meet the head of the sect, meet Uncle Wei, and meet ...... Huh, Fifth Master Ancestor?" Tian Jiu bowed and clenched his fists, bowing to the people in the main hall one by one, and in front of the Fifth Master Ancestor, he suddenly paused.

Although he had been prepared in his heart, he didn't admit that he would meet the Fifth Master Ancestor so soon.

"Are you ......?" Dong Hexiang looked at this familiar Qi Refining Cultivator, and didn't remember who it was for a while.

"Senior disciple forgot, he is Tianjiu, the outer disciple you recruited a year ago. Ouyang De said with a smile. It seems that the junior brother has completely forgotten the unhappiness in his heart, which makes him feel much more relieved.

"Tianjiu?!" Dong Hexiang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered that humiliating experience.

"Aren't you from the first level of qi refining, and after only one year, you have actually reached the peak of the eighth layer of qi refining? How did you do it?" Dong Hexiang stood up in surprise.

"Senior brother, don't be impatient, this day Jiu ate a thousand years of Ganoderma lucidum, and his cultivation was suddenly raised, there is no fuss, and Old Man Mi's daughter knows about it. Is it, Tianjiu?" Ouyang De hurriedly beckoned, and at the same time gestured to Tianjiu again and again.

"Back to the head of the sect, the fifth ancestor, it's true, the disciple encountered shit luck, ate a stalk of Ganoderma lucidum, and almost didn't die violently, but fortunately survived, and the cultivation rose a few layers, alas, it's just luck, luck!" Tianjiu bowed his head and said. He knew that the head of the sect was playing a round for himself, otherwise he would definitely arouse unnecessary suspicion from the Fifth Master.

Dong Hexiang didn't say anything more and silently returned to his seat.

"Tianjiu, I heard that you went to Yutiao Mountain City, how about it, have all the spirit pigs been sold?" Wei Qiyin, who had always wanted to see it coldly, asked loudly.

"Uncle Hui, Tian Jiu is fortunate to live up to his mission, and the spirit pigs have been sold, which is the obtained spars. Tianjiu hurriedly took out a storage bag and respectfully handed it to Wei Qiyin.

Wei Qiyin took the storage bag suspiciously, and used his divine sense to sweep it, and his face changed greatly.

In the storage bag, there are more than 10,000 medium-grade spars of high quality.

Wei Qiyin hurriedly handed the storage bag to Ouyang De.

"Master, you see, this kid does have two hits. ”

Ouyang De swept the storage bag, glanced at Tianjiu who was standing bowed a few times, his eyes were unusually soft, and said, "Tianjiu, I have worked hard for you." You didn't encounter any accidents on the way back and forth, did you? Now going to Yutiao Mountain is a life and death. ”

"Back to the head of the sect, although Tianjiu has gone through several hardships and obstacles, but he happened to meet Uncle Sikong, after her help, the disciple was fortunate to go to Yutiao Mountain, and he was also fortunate to sell the spirit pig ......" Tianjiu said without being arrogant or humble. Some of the experiences were roughly recounted, but the main credit was credited to Sikong Lan.

"Oh? So, it's all thanks to Sikong Lan's girl. I see, it seems that this girl is not simple, she is really a tiger father and no dog girl!" Ouyang De was overjoyed.

"Exactly. Uncle Sikong also folded a personal sword for this purpose. Tian Jiu had a very regretful expression on his face.

"Oh, where is she now?

He was a little skeptical about Tianjiu's statement, after all, Sikong Lan's strength was much inferior to him, and it was still a little possible to sneak through Donglingmen alone. If he brought a Qi refining disciple, even he himself didn't have the slightest certainty. He had sneaked into the depths of the Dongling Gate several times, but was discovered by some secret warriors, and he was able to get out by relying on his decisive retreat and pressing the bottom of the box. He knew very well that the dark warriors of the Eastern Spirit Gate were all the best of the best.

"As soon as Uncle Sikong arrived at the Shili range of the main sect, she was separated from me, I don't know where she is now, but I can be sure that she has returned to the sect. Tianjiu lowered his head and said cautiously. These old guys are not easy to deceive, and the slightest negligence will lead to pigtails. Of course, it is impossible for him to say that Dongfang Caixia sent it back, otherwise it would be even more unbelievable and out of his control.

"Okay, just come back!" Ouyang De didn't ask anything more, and turned to look at Wei Qiyin. "Qiyin, why don't you take back your things soon?"

"Oh, okay!" Wei Qiyin pouted, and pointed his right index finger at Tianjiu.

With a snort, a silver-white light shot out from Tianjiu's body, directly submerging into Wei Qiyin's fingers, which was the tracking mark.

Tianjiu's body seemed to suddenly lighten, and there was a sense of relief. This tracking mark, Tian Jiu actually has the ability to extinguish, but he didn't do that, on the one hand, he didn't want to have too stiff a relationship with Uncle Wei, and on the other hand, he didn't want to expose his strength too early.

"Okay, Fifth Senior Brother, Qi Yin, that's all for today, you go back and rest first. Tianjiu, you have completed my task, I should give you a gift as a reward, so come to my bedroom, and I will pick one for you. After Ouyang De finished speaking, he took the lead in getting up and walked directly to a side door at the back of the main hall.

Dong Hexiang and Wei Qiyin were silent, each took a deep look at Tianjiu, and then both hugged their fists at Ouyang De, and immediately flew away and disappeared into the main hall.

Tian Jiu stiffened his head and followed into the side door.

A silver light flashed, and Tianjiu found himself in a hut. In the three-zhang house, a table, a chair and a couch, there is nothing else, the four walls of the hut are made of bluestone, and the aura inside is extremely strong. Ouyang De was standing in the room with his hands behind his back.

"Take it out, if there is anything you must hand over to me in person, and you don't want others to know about it? You know, what I did just now will make your Fifth Master Ancestor and Uncle Wei unhappy. Ouyang De said in a deep voice.

"Master Ancestor, in fact, I am also forced to do so, you will know it when you see it. Tianjiu handed over a cloth bag again.

He quietly sent a message to Ouyang De just now, saying that there was something to be presented separately.

As soon as Ouyang De took the cloth bag, his consciousness moved, and his face instantly showed a look of shock.

"The best spars! Ten superlative spars!"

"Yes, Master Ancestor, in fact, those three-grade spirit pigs were exchanged by me for these top-grade spars this time, I know that this top-grade spar is too precious, so I have to hand it over to you personally. Otherwise, if it is known, it will definitely attract unnecessary suspicion. Tianjiu gritted his teeth and said.

Ouyang De looked at Tianjiu for a long time, and those two sharp lights, like two sharp swords, stripped Tianjiu's entire heart to the core, and seemed to see through his innermost thoughts.

"Does your Uncle Sikong know this?" asked Ouyang De with squinted eyes.

"Back to the head of the sect, Uncle Sikong was separated from me when he arrived in Yutiao Mountain City, and he didn't know about my transaction. Tianjiu replied in the affirmative.

"Oh, is this three-grade spirit pig so worth a spare?"

"The disciple didn't understand either, the disciple just participated in a black market auction, and as a result, he exchanged these hedrons. Is there anything wrong, Master Ancestor?" Tian Jiu asked deliberately.

"Well, nothing, nothing! You've done a great job, and you've done a great job for your family this time, but it's a pity that I can't reward you publicly. Ouyang De hurriedly said with a smile.

"It's okay, Master Master, I am a disciple of Huachen, and I have the obligation to share my worries for Huachen. Besides, this superb spar has no effect at all for a disciple in the Qi refining period like me, and if it is exposed, it will cause death, so it is the best thing for the disciple to hand it over to the sect. Tianjiu said sincerely.

"Hehehe!" Ouyang De suddenly became up.

"Tianjiu, don't be nervous! No matter what you do, if you can remember Huachen's interests, that's enough. Okay, thank you for the best spars, I accepted this thing on behalf of Huachenmen, you have merit to Huachen, I will still find a way to make up for you, what do you see missing?"

"The disciple has nothing else to ask for, just hope that the Fifth Master Ancestor will not embarrass the disciple too much!" Tianjiu bowed his head again and muttered.

"Oh, Fifth Master?"

Ouyang De thought for a while, pondered for a while, took off a crescent-shaped jade pendant from his waist, and handed it to Tianjiu.

"Tianjiu, this is the pure heart talisman that I have worn with me for more than ten years, and your fifth master and ancestor know me. If your Fifth Master Ancestor is not good for you, he will definitely open his eyes when he sees this jade pendant. However, I still believe that your Fifth Master Ancestor is not a person with a small belly, you can rest assured. ”

Ouyang De looked at Tianjiu and said with a smile.

Tianjiu hurriedly took the jade pendant and hung it on his waist. Looking at the panicked appearance, it seemed that Dong Hexiang had put the knife on his neck.

"Tianjiu, I know you have a lot of secrets, and you are not simple, but I don't care about them, you just need to remember that you are a disciple of Huachen. One day, you have the ability, I hope you will look at the old face and help Huachen. There is not much time left, and it is destined to be the day when you can't see Huachen Zhongxing. Ouyang De said again with a pleasant face.

"Master, your magic power is boundless, you will definitely lead Huachen Zhongxing!" Tianjiu bowed and said.

He didn't know that the head weishenme would suddenly say this to him, but he felt a chill on his back.

The so-called wood shows in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, and he feels more and more that he is exposing himself too much. An outer disciple in the Qi refining period has completed a task that is impossible for a disciple in the foundation building period, and everyone will be a little suspicious of him.
