Zhou Yang clenched his teeth and fought hard. Soon he was trembling all over, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his lips were bleeding without even realizing it.
"Hmph! Sikong, don't stop yet!" Cheng Yidao snorted coldly.
Sikong Dou frowned and suddenly increased his pressure again.
"You!" Cheng Yidao's face changed slightly.
At this time, blood stains appeared in the corners of Zhou Yang's eyes, the veins on his entire face were exposed, and his scalp began to tremble involuntarily.
"This..." Cheng Yidao turned pale in horror. This was definitely not just pressure, but a kind of secret technique!
"Ah..." After a few breaths, Zhou Yang shouted loudly. His robe was completely torn, and his exposed skin turned purple, and the meridians were visible to the naked eye.
"Well, this boy's body-forging technique is indeed amazing. He can even withstand the power of my heaven and earth. Not bad, not bad. I'm going to master this technique!" Sikong Dou lost his momentum and smiled on his face.
Zhou Yang felt relieved and sat down, sweating profusely and panting like an ox.
"Sikong, that's too much! You actually use secret techniques to suppress people, isn't it unbecoming of a senior!" Cheng Yidao looked unkind.
"Hey, you want me to teach him another secret technique, this is it!" Sikong Dou waved his hand.
Zhou Yang, who was breathing heavily, was stunned when he heard this.
"You mean the secret technique of the power of heaven and earth?" Cheng Yidao asked in surprise.
"Why, can't it?"
"You are actually willing to pass on this technique to others?" Cheng Yidao obviously didn't believe it.
"Haha, I didn't say to give him this technique. Whether he can understand the essence of it depends on his luck." Sikong Dou shook his head.
"Aren't you bluffing! It only took a moment, but even I couldn't understand it at all, let alone him!" Cheng Yidao said dissatisfied.
"I don't care about that. The secret technique has been demonstrated. Whether he can understand it or not is up to him. Bring it!" After saying that, Sikong Dou stretched out his hand.
Zhou Yang was still in shock and did not react for a moment.
"You scoundrel!" Cheng Yidao scolded.
Sikong Dou was noncommittal and did not withdraw his hand.
Zhou Yang sighed secretly, thinking that he could only feel sorry for Senior Yang Zhao.
"To be honest, Senior Sikong, I have only mastered the first three levels of this secret technique!" Zhou Yang said intermittently before he could catch his breath, and at the same time presented a piece of jade slip.
"Yes." Sikong Dou stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it with his spiritual consciousness.
"Damn it, you actually need a fire attribute physique to practice the second level!" After a moment, Sikong Dou cursed.
"You are earth by nature. It seems that you can't cultivate at the last two levels even if you are given it!" Cheng Yidao gloated.
"Forget it, the first three levels will be the first three levels. Lao Cheng, you drink slowly, I'm leaving!" After mastering the body tempering technique, Sikong Dou rolled his eyes and walked away.
"You guy, why don't you understand a little bit about human affairs?" Cheng Yidao scolded, but he didn't try to stop him.
"I have enough good wines in Juding City, so just come over here!" Without saying a word, Sikong Dou walked away.
He didn't believe that Zhou Yang only had the first three levels, but he also knew that he should give up when he got good. Seeing Cheng Yidao protecting Zhou Yang like this, and being alone in his sect, it was naturally difficult to force him.
"My little friend, I can't help it. I can't help myself. Please be more considerate!" Cheng Yidao turned around and said apologetically.
"My lord, you are serious. What you said before makes sense. Life is like a chess game. If you know you are outmatched, you can only give up and admit defeat. Only in this way can you save your capital and accumulate strength for the future." Zhou Yang nodded, making a pun.
"That's right." Cheng Yidao was so experienced that he couldn't understand the meaning behind his words. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and shook his head for Sikong Dou. To make such a future enemy with a tough nature, unlimited potential and good luck, the old guy can only ask for blessings.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now!" Zhou Yang saluted Deacon Cheng and was about to leave, but suddenly he felt a vibration in his Dantian, and then the meridians throughout his body also trembled slightly.
"Little friend, your breath..." Cheng Yidao stared at Zhou Yang, his expression slightly changed.
At the same time, Liang Sanli, Mo Chenglong and others have arrived at Tu Yancheng.
When the teleportation array guards saw so many spiritual platform cultivators coming at once, they suddenly became nervous and involuntarily clenched the weapons in their hands.
Mo Chenglong showed a pass token, and several guards looked at it carefully before feeling relieved.
This token was given by Zhong Pengfei, which not only allowed him to enter and leave Tuyan City at will, but also allowed him to directly enter the Ziyuan Sect.
Liang Sanli and others were shocked after entering the city. It was just as Zhou Yang said.
Everyone was on full alert, fearing that a large number of cultivators around them would pounce on them. It wasn't until they arrived at Xindian Yangtian Pavilion that everyone felt a little relieved.
Then the eighteen people settled into their positions and performed their duties. It took nearly two hours to complete the layout of Yangtian Pavilion inside and outside. It will take several days to reinforce the courtyard walls and deploy defenses.
Not long after, Zhong Pengfei sent someone to contact Yangtian Pavilion.
This time Liang Sanli brought nearly 50,000 spiritual stones, half of which was on credit from shops in Anping City. He and Liu Menglong have been doing business in Anping City for many years, so they still have some credibility.
Zi Yuanzong ate two-thirds of the goods in one go. Except for the three thousand spirit stones that were discounted as one year's rent, all the remaining spirit stones were paid off.
Liang Sanli was quite surprised. Zhou Yang had already said that he would be prepared for Ziyuan Sect to take credit, but he didn't expect him to be so happy.
Next, Yangtian Pavilion began to sell the remaining one-third of the goods, and allowed the use of monster materials in exchange, but it was more expensive than buying with spirit stones.
This was decided upon by Zhou Yang and them together. Cultivator Tu Yan does not have many spiritual stones in his hands, but has a lot of monster materials. Using these materials to exchange for the required items, Yangtian Pavilion only adds a re-sale link, but it can earn more spiritual stones.
As a result, only a few cultivators used spiritual stones to purchase elixirs, magic weapons, and other items, and most of them replaced them with piles of mid- to low-level monster materials.
On the second day, Mo Chenglong returned to Anping City with piles of goods, all of which were handed over to Liu Menglong for processing. He also collected a batch of elixirs, spiritual talismans, magical tools, cultivation materials and other items.
Yangtian Pavilion's transfer station in Anping City was set at Liu Menglong's residence.
When Mo Chenglong was about to set off, Zhou Yang appeared in Liu's mansion.
"Oh, everything is done?" Mo Chenglong was naturally very happy to see him coming.
"It's done."
"Hey, there's something wrong with your breath!" Mo Chenglong looked Zhou Yang up and down and muttered.
"Have you made a breakthrough?" Liu Menglong was also surprised.
"As for that, it's just the third to fourth level." There was no smile on Zhou Yang's face.
"That's a big gap between the early stage and the middle stage, it's just that!" Mo Chenglong shouted. You know, he is twenty years older than Zhou Yang, and he is only at the fourth level of the spiritual platform.
"I said, can you not mention this? I can't leave yet!" Zhou Yang said angrily.
"Hey, what's your attitude? No, are you wronged?" Liu Menglong asked suspiciously when he saw Zhou Yang's abnormal state.
"Oh, it's hard to put it into words!"
"What's going on?" Mo Chenglong asked.
"It's a huge loss this time!" Zhou Yang looked bitter.
"Why are you so ink-marked? Tell me quickly!" Liu Menglong was also anxious.
"I, I destroyed a palace!"
"Wha, what?" The two of them opened their mouths.
"I heard Deacon Cheng say that it cost two hundred thousand spiritual stones to build that palace!"
Zhou Yang almost cried.
"Cang Beast Palace! You are too brave, you actually dare to destroy the Cang Beast Palace!" Liu Menglong was not calm this time, it was 200,000 yuan, even if they were all sold, it wouldn't be worth it.
"You, why are you going to demolish other people's palaces if you have nothing to do?" Mo Chenglong's face turned pale.
"I achieved a breakthrough in the Spiritual Food Hall..." Zhou Yang told the story with a sad face.
But it turned out that after he was forced by Sikong Dou with secret techniques yesterday, he actually showed signs of a breakthrough. He couldn't suppress it even if he wanted to, so he had to choose to break through on the spot.
When the second level of the spiritual platform broke through to the third level, the spiritual energy vortex generated destroyed his house. This time it was even worse. The spiritual energy vortex was bigger, faster and more ferocious than before. It penetrated the solid spiritual food hall and almost collapsed, leaving Yi Dao and Zhou Yang in an extremely embarrassed state.
How could such a huge abnormality not alarm the senior officials of Cang Beast Palace? Several elders appeared at the same time. After learning the whole story, they naturally reprimanded Deacon Cheng, but they also became very interested in Zhou Yang and insisted on letting him. He cannot join the Blue Beast Palace, otherwise he will have to pay full compensation.
If it were anyone else, they would have fainted from joy. Being able to join one of the four major sects in Anping is a great honor and a dream come true. But Zhou Yang understood that people only valued his qualifications for one thing, and that the real reason was to reveal all the secrets about him.
In the end, Cheng Yidao also helped to cover it up for a long time. In addition, the Elder Council of Cangshou Palace had to discuss urgent matters, so they put the matter on hold for the time being, but asked him to hand over the repair cost of 100,000 spirit stones.
He is a poor casual cultivator, where can he find 100,000 spiritual stones?
Although this number is less than half of the previous number, it is still scary enough. Liu and Mo were stunned on the spot, not knowing what to say.
"Later, Cheng Deacon acted as guarantee and asked me to pay it back within three years." Zhou Yang said with a frown.
"Pay it off in three years!" Mo Chenglong's expression softened slightly.
"Yes." Zhou Yang nodded.
"Oh, as long as there is time, it will be fine. Pay it back slowly." Liu Menglong shook his head and sighed. One hundred thousand in three years, then at least more than thirty thousand will have to be repaid every year, which is equivalent to thirty times his monthly salary!
"I will handle the things I cause myself, and I will never embarrass the two brothers." Zhou Yang said solemnly. Even before the deal was completed, I owed such a huge debt and had to tighten my belt for the next three years.
"What are you talking about? How can I wait for death and not save him! Besides, Yangtian Pavilion's business is booming, and it will not be a problem to make a hundred or eighty thousand at this rate!" Mo Chenglong glared.
"Yes, when the business makes money, just use it to pay off the debt first." Liu Menglong also said.
"Let's talk about it later, I have my own way." Zhou Yang had to say the same thing whether he had a way or not.
"Okay, let's go to Tu Yan first." Mo Chenglong nodded.
After arriving, Zhou Yang met with his uncle in private. After some discussion, he settled down at Yangtian Pavilion.
