This golden elixir surnamed An practiced metal spells. When a golden light blade struck, his vigor was as strong as substance, and it was more fierce than the battle ax in Zhou Xiaozhou's hand.

And it can reach far, hitting it ten meters away is not a problem.

The attack power of metal spells is indeed the sharpest, and the energy in the golden elixir stage is much stronger than that in the foundation building stage.

If you don't have enough energy, you can't break through the golden elixir stage.

This person's Qi is only able to break through the golden elixir stage. There is still a big gap compared to Zhou Xiaozhou who doesn't care about the speed of cultivation, casually creates cultivation resources, and repeatedly uses the Suppressing Army elixir to consolidate it.

Regardless of whether it is a large sect or a large family, it is impossible to concentrate the cultivation resources on one person. There will be many people waiting with their mouths open.

It is difficult to pass every level, and it is the same in practice. Try your best to break through the level after level, and find a solution wherever you are stuck.

If you want to have sufficient resources, you can only create them at will if you obtain enough cultivation resources yourself.

But young people don't have many ways to make money, and they don't get many cultivation resources at all.

Zhou Xiaozhou is one of the luckier people. The existing resources have not been exhausted and he has more resources, so he can be so luxurious.

This man came at him with a magic light blade, and he looked so powerful that Zhou Xiaozhou didn't dare to let him hit him, and unfolded a water shield to protect himself.

Gold produces water.

This golden light blade fell into the water shield and disappeared without a trace. Instead, it seemed to increase the power of the water shield, causing the boiling water vortex to spin faster and faster.

"You are also a golden elixir..."

An expert will know if there is a move as soon as he makes a move. Seeing that the other party easily took his move, Mr. An felt that he could not take advantage of it, so he quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "It seems to be a misunderstanding."

Zhou Xiaozhou did not misunderstand him, put away his battle ax, took out a water hyacinth, and fired water arrows continuously with his hand.

A gourd of water can only be ejaculated seven or eight times, not just for Boss An, but also for all other foundation building stages.

This Boss An was able to block the water arrow once and turned into a golden shield. He really blocked the water arrow. But a hole was shot out of the golden light shield and hit his left arm. His arm was shocked so much that half of his body was numb. The flying sword at his feet rushed out and ran away without looking back.

The other several foundation building stages were not so lucky. No one could escape this arrow, and they were all hit one after another.

Zhou Xiaozhou wants to seize their flying swords and Qiankun bags one by one. Water archery skills are not enough to kill them with one blow. If they fall from a high altitude, they will have to accept their fate whether they die or not. After picking up the trophies, Mr. An had already flown far away and was too lazy to chase him.

It was almost dusk when we returned to Qingshi County. After flying from Maidu to Qingshi County for more than a day, non-stop day and night, I felt like I was home.

It was the first time he had been away from home for so long, and he already had his own home, so he felt even more urgent.

When I return to my hometown, I am filled with familiar smells and people relax.

"Isn't this Escort Zhou?"

He flew directly into the city with his sword, which was very conspicuous and quickly attracted the attention of many people.

When he landed in front of his house, someone greeted him with a smile, "I heard that you have entered the court as an official. Is this your return home in glory?"

As for the clothes, they are indeed brocade garments, and they can also be regarded as a brocade return home.

Normally, returning home with great clothes requires banging gongs and drums, but he flew back, so he could do it reluctantly.

Qingshi County is almost the southernmost county of Wu Sheng Kingdom. It is considered a remote mountainous area. Things in the court feel relatively far away, and it is difficult for any disturbance to reach here. Many people only know that he entered the court as an official, but there is no way to know what official position he entered.

Maybe he's a housekeeper and sweeps the floor...

"so far so good····"

Zhou Xiaozhou was too lazy to say anything to irrelevant people and was eager to get in.

"Zhou... Escort Zhou, wait a minute."

Another person hurried over and called to him. He seemed familiar, "I want to buy this house back. The price will be doubled."

It turned out that he was the previous owner and had dealt with him when he bought the house. No wonder he looked familiar.

At that time, I was panicking and running away. It would be better if I could sell the house at a certain price and run away with the money. The price is indeed relatively low. Such a big house only costs five hundred taels of silver, which is a very low price nowadays.

Once caught in the flames of war, it may be worthless.

Five hundred taels is very cheap in times of peace, but it can be said to be expensive in times of war, and others have to take a gamble.

Now the value has increased to one thousand taels.

What's more, Zhou Xiaozhou is not short of money and is too lazy to sell for any amount of money. Wouldn't it be troublesome to move?

"Sorry, I have no plans to sell the house."

"I'll give you another two hundred taels. My family is really used to living here, and I really want to come back to live here..."

"Sorry, let's find another treasure hunt."

Zhou Xiaozhou was too lazy to argue with him, but the man kept pestering him, even a little angry: "I've made hundreds of taels in one go, what else do you want?

Don't be too greedy as a person, greed will lead to disaster. "

It already had a somewhat threatening tone.

Zhou Xiaozhou looked at him in surprise. After going out, his presence in Qingshi County disappeared. Does anyone dare to come to scare him?

"none of your business?"

"The new county magistrate is a relative of my family."

The former owner's back was straight and he was quite proud. He was also very lucky. The new county magistrate was actually a relative. It was as if he had won a lottery. If he didn't become more arrogant, he wouldn't be able to win the prize.

He added, "I live across the street, and I finally bought it. The place is too small, and I have a lot of family members, so I can't live there. I've been coming to the house repeatedly to buy, and your family members said that they need you to come back before they can make the decision. Now you Now that you have come back, let’s do the work of the Lord.

Five hundred taels turned into one thousand two hundred taels. It was already a huge profit and we couldn't ask for more.

Otherwise, it is just raising prices and extorting money. I will definitely file a lawsuit and ask the county magistrate to personally administer justice. "

His fairness does seem to have a little bit of fairness in it. At least he didn't force the 500 taels to be sold and the 500 taels to be taken back.

One thousand two hundred taels is about the same as the market price, which is slightly lower.

There is no specific price for the sale of some things. It can be more or less, as long as both parties are willing.

The problem is, now even if he adds another zero, Zhou Xiaozhou is not willing to sell the house.

"Sue."

What's more, he was threatened to sell the house, which made him a little annoyed. He pushed the door in without looking back, and closed the door with a bang.

Nothing happened at home, which made him feel at ease.

"who?"

Qiao Yan wielded the sword very quickly and rushed over in the blink of an eye, "Yeah..."

As a result, Zhou Xiaozhou grabbed him alive and held him in his arms.

She looked at him excitedly: "What kind of official did you become?"

"Second place."

"Only second on the list?"

"Isn't it okay to be second on the list?"

The name "Long Touwei" is actually a name that Long Wei randomly pulled over. The meaning of "second" is not a formal official position.

Qiao Yan was still a little disappointed that she was not the top pick...

"Okay, the second place is the second place, which is not bad."

She asked again, "What rank of official?"

"Fourth grade."

Usually, even if you get the first prize in the imperial examination, you will only be a fifth-rank official at most, and it will only be a false position, like being an editor, to accumulate experience, and you will be able to take up actual duties when you have the opportunity. Most of them will just have a false position in their whole life, just being a clerk, and they will be lost to the public by being a tutor in the Imperial College.

The honor is greater.

Unless the background is strong enough, you can get a good job, or you are handsome, you can be recruited as a consort, etc., and you can climb high.

Wen Wu is No. 1. In fact, who is chosen as the top pick is often just luck. Appearance is also very important. The king looks at who is more pleasing to the top ten people and casually wins the prize.

The literary talent of the second-place finisher may not be worse than that of the first-place finisher.

Although the difference is only one rank, the salary of the second-ranked official is significantly different. At most, a sixth-grade official is a false position. Even when there is no suitable vacancy, it is okay to be given a sixth-grade official.
