The New Year is approaching and it is snowing heavily.
The Zhongfu on Cangbao Street is festive and busy.
This is a harvest year.
Although the business in Fangshi has been slightly flat due to previous suppression and targeting by the Five Elements Sect, Xia Family and other forces, the overall balance of payments is balanced, with a small profit coming from 'Thai Delicious Food'.
More income came from the sharing of the spoils from the eradication of the Xia family, and from sharing half of the less paid prayer beads tax with the Keqing Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion.
In addition to these wealth resources that can be counted, there are also newly occupied market businesses.
Qingyangfang City increased to nine shops, one each in Yangquanfang City, Shunyi, and Heishui, and three in Wangxi City.
The strength of Zhong Mansion's personnel has also increased rapidly and steadily.
A few days ago, Yuan Ziyi, who had been busy building formations, broke into the fifth floor of the foundation.
Yu Qingyao reached the second level of foundation building a year ago and is about to break through to the third level.
Like Jiang Huan who left, Wei Cen, who devoted himself to practicing in seclusion except attending classes, has recovered his cultivation and successfully established a foundation in one fell swoop.
Gu Baiyu succeeded in building the foundation for more than half a year.
He Jinyan broke into the foundation on Liusha Island and was on his way back with Yao Huilan and others.
Ye Weiwei from Minglan City in the Wei Kingdom returned and successfully built the foundation.
Xu Caixuan, who is new to the mansion, was originally at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and is now preparing to build the foundation.
Under the impact of a large number of pills, even Meng Zhilei broke the bottleneck that had been stagnant for seven years and advanced to the eighth level of Qi refining.
etc.
In the early days of the family's development, Zhong Yan was very liberal with resources.
As long as you can use it, it’s enough! Enough!
Aiming to improve strength.
When there are more clan members in the future, clan rules must be strictly enforced and competition is fair, otherwise chaos will occur.
This day.
The tenth courtyard.
Zhong Yan washed the children's marrow and cut their bones with the blood of monsters and beasts, and urged them to practice pile boxing.
Hehehahaha.
All of them have majestic heads and angles, which make people happy just to look at them.
It's all hope.
In another two or three years, he will be able to teach and practice and officially join the ranks of monks.
Zhong Yan couldn't help but think of Jiang Yunruo's son. It would be great if he was by his side. The system had previously prompted him to break through to the second level of Qi Refining.
Counting the time, it’s more than a year.
The speed of the Four Spiritual Roots is neither too fast nor too slow, and the sense of Qi is acceptable. In the early stages of Qi training, the third level is a big threshold.
Zhong Yan guessed that the Changsheng Palace, a force that cultivates killer monks, would provide members with more resources than ordinary sect disciples. Of course, the premise must be extremely cruel competition.
"You still have to go to Jinguang City in person to check for clues about the Palace of Eternal Life..."
Zhong Yan was thinking, and a figure appeared in his mind, and he thought to himself: "Qiu Mingyue, is it related to the Palace of Eternal Life?"
It was just a trace of suspicion that suddenly appeared when I saw the 'Bana Flower' on Lu Su.
Because he bought the information of a famous female cultivator in Jingcheng from Qiu Mingyue, he wanted to find out that Lu Su's information was much simpler than that of other women.
As Lu Su was one of the "six beauties" of Jingcheng, the information he could pay attention to and find must be far more than that, and he was suspected of deliberately concealing the differential treatment.
However, this alone does not constitute evidence at all, and there are even many reasons to explain it.
Zhong Yan shook his head secretly.
"Husband!"
Qin Zi came over the sky, smiled at a group of children who stopped to look, and handed a piece of paper.
"Chen Keqing asked someone to send it to a customer from Taiyuan."
Zhong Yan opened his eyes, and wrote eight words on the paper: The spiritual consciousness is not weak, let’s talk about it when we meet
The attacker that night!
"What's wrong, husband? What's wrong?"
Zhong Yan pondered for a moment, turned around and jumped into the air: "I'm going out."
A quarter of an hour later.
Zhong Yan walked into 'Taiwan Delicious', and Chen Ke immediately greeted him, "Master!"
Then there was a message: "In the private room No. 3 in the inner courtyard, it looks quite mysterious. I don't know my cultivation level..."
Zhong Yan nodded, walked over, pushed the door open and entered.
Sitting due east was a woman dressed in black. She seemed to be smiling and said, "Friend Zhong Dao came very quickly."
The vitality of his face moved slightly, and he was obviously wearing a mask.
Zhong Yan sat opposite her and asked, "I wonder how Zhong offended fellow Taoist monks so that he spied on him late at night? What is the reason for this appointment?"
"I have offended you so much, and I hope you will forgive me, Fellow Daoist Zhong."
The woman said, looked at each other and said straight to the point: "I have Jiang Yunruo's mother and son in my hands. I heard that Zhong Daoyou wants to exchange them back?"
Palace of Eternal Life!
Zhong Yan's eyes flashed, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "The conditions are met, what do you think?"
It was introduced to build the nine-story foundation.
He knew that the longer it took, the more trouble he would get.
If Zhong Mansion's reputation had not been high earlier, fifty thousand spirit stones would have been a huge price.
Now that the Zhong Mansion is in prosperity, the other party will definitely take the opportunity to extort money.
The woman smiled and said: "Miss Ruoyun is an important disciple of mine, and she possesses the method of dual cultivation, so that the young master can be trained in a key way, and he has entered the path of immortality..."
Zhong Yan interrupted: "Tell me the conditions."
The woman was silent for a moment and said: "I want the Great Void Technique."
Zhong Yan said with a sneer: "If you are willing to exchange, that was before."
"Since you know about the Great Void Technique, you should investigate Zhong deeply enough."
"Now that I have many women and children, and many spiritual heirs, how can I care about a brothel girl and her daughter?"
"Besides, I'm not sure whether the child is mine."
After saying that, Zhong Yan stood up and left: "Kill him!"
The woman then stood up and said, "I can pay you an extra million spiritual stones!"
Zhong Yan kept walking and sneered in his heart. The Palace of Eternal Life was not that good either. At least in the Yan Kingdom, the other party did not have the strength to do anything to him. Maybe this woman was the person with the highest status in the Yan Kingdom.
After leaving the 'Taiwan Delicious' and going to the street, the woman followed and said through the message: "If you have a complete Great Void Technique, I, the Eternal Life Palace, can cooperate with you to seek a future, or you can make conditions."
Zhong Yan mocked and replied: "It seems that you have approached Li Lin, but you didn't get any benefits."
Jiang Yunruo had said something to Yan Sandao that Qifeng and Lin Zhengping were not enough to fight against the Palace of Eternal Life. Li Lin had already traveled far away at that time, and Lin Zhengping was just an injured person on the second floor of the foundation.
As the information complemented, Zhong Yan became more and more certain that even if the elixir formation failed, Li Lin's strength was unfathomable. It was very likely that like Mrs. Mei, she fell from a high level and rebuilt, and the fact that she survived through space cracks was also a major evidence.
However, even as her realm fell, her spiritual consciousness remained unchanged. If Li Lin had been a golden elixir, a nascent soul, or even a transformed spirit before, her combat power would not be comparable to that of ordinary people, even if she was limited by the amount of vitality in her body.
The woman still did not give up: "Young Dao Zhong, don't you have plans for the future? The current situation is chaotic, and there may be a world-wide war one day. With the current strength of your Zhong Mansion, if we fight together, you may not be able to survive for more than a year and a half. Cooperate with the Palace of Eternal Life, It can help you get through this difficult time!”
After a pause, she continued: "Don't expect Qifeng to support you. Once the Fire Cloud Sect breaks up, Qifeng will not be able to take care of itself."
"What qualifications do you have to discuss cooperation with me? When Zhong is a three-year-old child? The war in the Wei Kingdom is anxious, the competition among the vassal states is imminent, and the secret realm of Yunmeng Swamp is waiting to be opened. In ten or eight years, there will be no civil war!"
Zhong Yan sneered and said arrogantly: "In this time, Zhong has entered the golden elixir!"
As long as he does not take the initiative and cling to Qingyang City, even if there is a civil war, the flames of war between big forces such as the Fire Cloud Sect will not be able to burn it out for a while.
The woman couldn't help but look at Zhong Yan's face, and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, I am very confident, because I have followers all over the Xianwu Continent."
Zhong Yan smiled: "Your Excellency, it seems difficult to be interested in Zhong."
"Fellow Taoist has achieved his current level of strength in just a few short years. He is nothing like that."
"Can you represent the Palace of Eternal Life?"
"You can sign a cooperation contract with fellow Taoists."
"With my golden elixir resources and my ability to control the northwest of Yan Kingdom, I am enough."
The woman was silent for a moment, pursed her lips and said, "If it's not enough, add 'Void Concealment' and Jiang Yunruo and her son will be returned to you intact."
Zhong Yan was secretly amused. For such a shady killer organization, they still valued concealing their aura.
"Can."
"Wait for my news and choose a day to sign the contract."
After speaking, the woman turned and left, joining the crowd.
