What Xue Tong is most concerned about is, what kind of people came that day?
Guanglingzhai inquired in many ways and got a rough idea.
Tang Chengyu calls himself Qingcheng Taoist, and the Taoist temple is located in Qingcheng Mountain thousands of miles away. Ni Shu's origin is unknown, and he is most likely a descendant of a declining family in the royal city. For some reason, he has a relationship with Tang Chengyu. It is said that the two are not excluded. Get acquainted.
Jiang Zhongzhou was originally the deputy chief helmsman of the small sect Tianying Hall. He was expelled due to internal strife and left his hometown to wander with his junior brothers and sisters. Li Zhen was well-known in Ningzhou in the north. The process of his acquaintance with Jiang Zhongzhou is unknown. It is said that they may have started due to a martial arts competition. Li Zhen believed that his physical training was extraordinary and that no warrior at the same level could match him, but he lost to Jiang Zhongzhou.
As for the grievances between Tang and Jiang, one theory is that Tang Chengyu was related to the incident at Tianying Hall.
"Jiang Zhongzhou did not leave Yin Ye, but several other groups left." Li Zhaoqing said.
"That's good. The more warriors there are in the city, the more prosperous the trade in spiritual materials and spiritual objects will be. The three martial arts levels are not low. It is a good thing to stay. Maybe there will be a few more regulars in Guanglingzhai."
Xue Tong was not worried that Jiang Zhongzhou had evil intentions, and his performance that day helped the three of them to a great extent. Although Li Zhen could win, Jiang Tongquan was likely to die.
Xue Tong rarely works as a town hall anymore, and he has no intention of competing with Tan Lingke for a job, but practicing Qigong is more important.
Li Zhaoqing recommended two confidants to take care of the garden for him. There was no need to step in for small matters, and there was no need to worry about burglars in the yard.
Xue Tong sells some spiritual items from time to time, which are the most common and extra items in his pile of spiritual materials.
The Violent Ape Soul Beast ate the souls of more than a hundred iron fire ants and slept in the Ghost Banner for nearly a year. That day, when Xue Tong read the formula, the Bloody Ghost Banner reacted.
Black smoke curled up, and as soon as the huge black ape appeared, its sinister and terrifying aura made Xue Tong happy.
The soul beast upgrades and reaches its peak the day after tomorrow!
Xue Tong killed countless thieves and beasts. In his hands, the violent ape was like a mouse falling into a granary.
Most of the large number of spiritual objects bought back by the Hui tribe were used by the bone puppets. Xue Tong exchanged the venom prepared twice, continued to soak the bone puppets, and fed the poisonous python inner elixir.
There is still some distance to go before upgrading, but the aura is advancing steadily, and the mixed toxicity is becoming more and more terrifying day by day.
Xue Tong had refined the Nine Levels and Nine Sections of the Nightmare Bone True Demon Art twenty years ago. After that, the energy accumulated in his body by the orc blood pills, bean cakes, and human body refining pills already felt like it was about to burst out.
It is very likely to break through the tenth level within a few months.
A crucial level!
Xue Tong was unable to modify the Barbarian Divine Technique of the orc ancestor, but after research and analysis, he found that the techniques and tips for practicing the Barbarian Divine Technique were of great use for reference. No wonder Ma Ken said that the two techniques were similar.
The resources at Xue Tong's disposal are unimaginable. What is needed is time and a well-arranged training plan.
…
Zhang Zhong, the elder of Genwu Zong, came to visit, accompanied by Li Zhaoqing.
Zhang Zhong is an ordinary man in his fifties, with a slightly evil look on his face.
Xue Tong attaches great importance to first impressions. He practices Shenhun Taoism, and his mental strength is far superior to that of monks of the same level. He can judge the true purpose of people from his behavior and eyes, and he often stays close to him.
He once observed Li Zhaoqing. Li Zhaoqing asked for rich auction items and earned commissions. When necessary, he would have someone to watch over him and repay him within his ability. His thoughts were simple and clear.
"Taoist Xue, Mr. Zhang would like to ask for your help." Li Zhaoqing said bluntly.
"Well, I am asking for help. Genwu Zong has been trying for several years to gain the qualifications for a new Xuanmen Guild, but it has failed. He is stuck in the evaluation of existing members. The number of people in favor and against is very close. If one or two people are won, one will be eliminated. You can be elected as soon as you grow up.”
"I sincerely ask the Taoist priest to go to the royal city and start lobbying." Zhang Zhong said.
"Sect Master Genwu has already joined the Xuanmen Guild in his early stage of innate life. The most promising person in the sect to become the second member is Elder Zhang." Li Zhaoqing added.
"Voting depends on the hard work behind the scenes. Wouldn't it be enough to give more spiritual stones and spiritual objects?" Xue Tong said.
"The Taoist Master is right, but some people charge too high a price." Zhang Zhong said with a bitter smile.
"The Taoist priest will accompany you and if you say a few good words, it will be done. Zhang will pay 100,000 yuan to negotiate for one person, and 300,000 spiritual stones for two people."
"Wei, just talk about it. Is there anything difficult to do?"
"You just need to say it, but you have to say a few harsh words, such as I am a friend of the Taoist priest, I hope that so-and-so will come true, and I will give you face so that it will not be difficult to see each other in the future, etc."
"Oh, if I go, will I return the benefits I promised others?"
"Here, those two people are asking for double the price. Gen Wuzong can't afford it. He wants to pay the normal price and also asks the Taoist priest to come forward." Zhang Zhong said.
"Wei will think about it." It's hard to say whether this matter is good or bad, Xue Tong hesitated.
Harsh words are an act that greatly offends people.
…
Xue Tong summoned Li Zhaoqing and told him that he needed to retreat for half a year.
He has been wandering in front of the tenth level of the bone formula for many years. Recently, his bones have been aching like cracks while practicing, and there are signs of success in the operation of the formula. All kinds of accumulation have reached the critical point of explosion.
The white tiger and the violent ape watched the entrance to the underground palace, while the bone puppet and the eagle attacked his exposed body with thunder and fire.
The bone puppet throws the fire cloud talisman, and the vulture spits thunder from its mouth.
Xue Tong was wrapped in electric flames. He swallowed explosive blood pills to accelerate the increase in blood temperature.
Xue Tong's body seemed to have become an iron plate. The fire and lightning strikes only made the skin red, and the energy penetrated the muscle meridians and reached the bones with bright blood lines.
Xue Tong has tried this cultivation method several times.
This time, however, something was different.
Sudden severe pain in bones!
"boom!"
Flames and lightning were instantly absorbed into his body.
The bone puppet vulture stopped attacking, and the time for its master to explain has come.
Xue Tong's thick bones exuded gray impurities at a speed visible to the naked eye, expelled through the surface of the muscles and skin. The blood lines continued to become brighter and thicker, and the body refining energy accumulated in the body turned into thousands of threads and directly hit the surface of the bones.
The skeleton, which has lost impurities, does not shrink but grows, rattles and pops, and slowly expands.
Accompanied by bone-breaking pain.
Xue Tong shouted, "Add!"
The bone puppet vulture's attack was immediately doubled.
Xue Tong's body greedily absorbed the energy of the fire and lightning strikes, and the severe pain in his bones slowed down.
"Add!" Xue Tong continued to yell.
The spiritual pet's thunder and fire attack is doubled again.
The Bone Technique that had been practiced to no avail before started to work...
Lasted for more than an hour.
"boom!"
The flames and lightning were all sucked into Xue Tong's body, and the thousands of energy filaments in his body also disappeared.
The tenth level of the Nightmare Bone True Demon Art is accumulated over time and achieved overnight!
Xue Tong grew an inch taller, and his bone weight increased by 50%. The bones all over his body were light red in color, covered with bright red blood lines, and their density doubled.
What's even more frightening is that the blood patterns can be lit up at any time and controlled easily.
Xue Tongyan turned around and laughed loudly: "Then you can't blame me!"
Hit the stone wall made of hemp iron with a critical punch.
"Bang!"
The stone wall broke, and the power of Gui Sha's fist was three times stronger than before.
Xue Tong looked at Fahai. Fahai in the middle stage of Xiantian retreated by 20%. The changes in his body made Fahai free up space and its capacity increased again.
Xue Tong signaled Bai Hu to strike hard at his outstretched arm to test the strength of the demonic energy shield.
The giant palm of the white tiger, together with the sharp tiger claws, only dented half of the three inches of demonic energy that burst out from him.
Xue Tong was overjoyed and instructed his spiritual pets to play and fight on their own.
He consolidated the bone art, took Qi refining pills, and strengthened Fahai.
…
After May.
"Ah, Taoist Master Wei is here in person. Is there anything you can do?" Li Zhaoqing greeted with a smile as bright as a flower.
"We need a complete set of top-quality refining materials. The price is negotiable. Please pay for some snacks from Guanglingzhai."
Xue Tong's military strength increased greatly and his courage became bolder.
"There are very few complete sets that are consigned for auction, so we can only collect them one by one, just like the Taoist Priest's Fire Cloud Sand Crystal."
"Zhaoqing will be careful and try to stick to the established path." Li Zhaoqing said.
"Well, one million spiritual stones are stored in the auction house and purchased directly at 30% of the high market price. I will pay all the commissions."
"If there are not enough spiritual stones, Guanglingzhai will provide temporary supplies." Xue Tong said.
"No problem!" Li Zhaoqing said cheerfully.
"Half a year has passed, has Daoist Wei thought it through clearly?"
"Tell me more about Zhang Zhong and Wang Cheng's lobbying."
"Well, there are fifty-two members of the Xuanmen Guild, and twenty-nine are innate. New candidates must be innate, or 60% of the members agree."
"The actual threshold is the peak of the day after tomorrow. It is impossible for lower martial arts levels to join."
"The royal city has been lobbying for a long time, and it can be said to be commonplace."
"In addition to having a respected status and being able to participate in guild affairs, low-level members mostly seek to make profits based on their status. The opening fee for expressing support is usually 400,000 spiritual stones, and some people will look for opportunities to blackmail them."
"Just like when Zhang Zhong joined the committee, he came up short by two votes in the ruling last year. Since then, the price of lobbying has doubled." Li Zhaoqing recounted.
"How many of those who agreed accepted Zhang Zhong's spiritual stones?" Xue Tong asked.
"Lobbying is usually limited to two to three people. No matter how many spiritual stones there are, it can't be tolerated. Zhaoqing doesn't know how many people Zhang Zhong has given benefits to."
"What kind of person is Zhang Zhong?" Xue Tong asked intentionally.
"It's not bad, it's not bad. Most people in the Xuan Realm are like this. They are selfish, but if they say they have bad intentions, that's definitely not the case." Li Zhaoqing was considerate and understood the meaning of Xue Tong's question.
"It is very important for Guanglingzhai to have the endorsement of Xuanmen. The business will be stable and big. It would be good for the Genwu Sect to have one more member, so Zhaoqing suggested that the Taoist priest help others and each get what they need."
"Zhang Zhong joined the guild and was recommended by four innates, Master Genwu, Master Guanglingzhai, Tan Lingke, and Wei Yue. Those who disagree with the guild are all middle-term Xiantian members. If the Taoist priest comes forward, it might be possible."
Li Zhaoqing was stable in practice, thoughtful, and knew everything in front of Xue Tong. This was also an important reason why Xue Tong was willing to associate with him.
"Well, you might as well go and take a look around the royal city."
Xue Tong asked by the way: "Guanglingzhai is quite powerful, but it is not a Taoist sect, and it is not a place for refining alchemy, refining weapons and drawing talismans. I don't know how to join it?"
"If you can't get in, you are even more hopeless than the Taoist priest."
Li Zhaoqing explained: "The Taoist priest can join the association after he has been in Gantai for fifty years."
"Fifty years? Haha, let's talk about it later." Xue Tong said with a smile.
"Now that the Taoist master is here, let's go see Taoist Guangling, the master of my house."
Xue Tong met the owner of Guanglingzhai. In the early days of Weijin Guangxiantian, he was engaged in the spiritual materials business in his early years. Later, he partnered with Wei Yue to open Guanglingzhai in Yinye City.
Li Zhaoqing was given half of the shares one after another.
Wei Jinguang was very polite and asked Xue Tong to take care of the auction house business. If he needed help, just ask.
…
Zhang Zhong, Li Zhaoqing, and Xue Tong took three carriages and eight guards to go to Gantai King City.
Riding horse guards to fill the appearance and take care of trivial matters. Zhang Zhong's travel lineup is common in Gantai, neither ostentatious nor degrading.
Halfway through the journey, the terrain is flat.
See the capital of Ningzhou and Yuan City in the distance.
