If you practice blindly, your cultivation will improve, but how to use and expand your cultivation and improve your overall strength is the direction Zhou Yang will work hard in the future.
The books on the market are just basic introductions. If you want to obtain secret techniques like Wanli Chasing the Wind, you have to rely on strength and chance.
As for chance and luck, it’s really hard to say. Sometimes you are so lucky that you get what you do and what you think about. When you have bad luck, the opposite is true. Whatever you do, you will fail, and whatever you don't want will happen.
Moreover, the vast majority of people are unable to grasp their luck, let alone figure it out, and can only leave it to fate. This may be the way of heaven.
But Zhou Yang doesn't think so. If he can't grasp his luck, it's just because he doesn't have enough strength. What is a true god or a true person? That is someone who can control Yin and Yang, guide heaven and earth, and live forever. Even yin and yang can be grasped, heaven and earth can support each other, and one's lifespan can be endless, so luck is nothing.
Of course, I don’t know how many years it will take before I can do that. Whether he himself can survive until then is open to question. But people must have goals. Only with goals can there be motivation, and with motivation can everything be possible.
The cultivation of these two magical powers gave Zhou Yang more insights and strengthened his confidence to move forward.
At present, although the Wanli Chasing Wind Technique has not yet been refined to the first level, his movement speed at this time has increased by more than 40% compared to before. This is a big improvement. If it were placed in the wasteland before, it would never be possible. It will be so embarrassing.
Several techniques have achieved success in the past few days, and Zhou Yang is very happy. Tie Hu's injuries also recovered to some extent, and the two discussed asking Song Laohu to have a drink.
But this third brother didn't tell them where he lived. It would be really hard to find him if he didn't take the initiative to contact them.
The two rushed to the territory controlled by Tianxing Sect and asked people about the Three Tigers of the Song Family. They were pretty good and many people knew about them. The two of them followed the instructions and searched for them, but in the end they found nothing. None of the three people were there, so they had to return in despair.
While wandering on the street, the two of them heard that several murders had occurred last night. One family was wiped out, and a whole family of nine, eight cultivators and one child, all died tragically on the spot. The cause of death is unknown.
Zhou Yang was shocked. This was an area that was said to have good order, but so many murders had occurred. How many people might have died in other areas.
But no matter how great the hatred is, it will not bring harm to his wife and children. Why would he kill even the infant children? How cruel would that be?
At the same time, he was secretly glad to have stayed at the Pengcheng Inn, which was very close to Tongzhou Trading Company and had a high density of patrols, so safety was finally guaranteed.
Two days later, Tie Hu's injuries recovered, but there was still no whereabouts of Liu and Liang. Zhou Yang went to Guanshi Li's shop alone to inquire about their whereabouts.
Manager Li didn't know, but reminded Zhou Yang that there happened to be a teleportation array going to Anping in Nancheng, and maybe the two of them would go back to Anping City directly after finishing their work.
Zhou Yang nodded, this possibility is very high.
Back at Pengcheng Inn, before entering the room, I heard Song Laosan's hearty laughter coming from Tiehu's room.
Zhou Yang also smiled and opened the door and entered the house.
"You came back just in time, let's have a good drink today!" Tiehu said excitedly when he saw Zhou Yang coming back.
"Third brother is here. Today, my senior brother and I will treat each other to a few drinks!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"They have something to do. This time you and I will just invite me, hahaha! By the way, this matter all depends on my elder brother!"
"Eldest brother and second brother are out?" Zhou Yang asked.
"Yes, I went out a few days ago, but I came back. I came back with Deacon Chong from Tianxing Sect. Deacon Chong helped you with your matter." Song Laohu said.
"You mean the Star Stone!" Zhou Yang was excited. If this is accomplished, then the Qi-Building Pill can be refined immediately.
"Yes, Deacon Chong promised to handle this matter, and there will be a reply tomorrow. We should be close to each other." Tiger nodded.
"Great, thank you three brothers! Let's go have a drink!" Zhou Yang was overjoyed, picked up the tiger and left.
While pushing the cup and changing the cup, the tiger gave the two people a thorough explanation of the situation in Dingbeicheng, especially the northern area, which benefited Zhou Yang and Tiehu a lot.
After talking to Zhou Yang, he found out that there was only one family with the surname Chong in Dingbei City. However, the Chong family was the largest cultivating family in Dingbei, second only to Zhou Tianzong in power, and the family's children were spread across all major sects, influencing all forces. Dingbei’s strength cannot be underestimated.
"So, the eldest brother Chong Jiuchong, whom I just made friends with, turns out to be a member of the largest family in Dingbei, but he is so low-key." Zhou Yang shook his head secretly.
And that Deacon Chong of the Tianxing Sect is a branch of the Chong family, but he is also a master of the Tianyuan realm, and his cultivation level is much stronger than Chong Jiu.
When the banquet was over, Zhou Yang handed Song Lao Lao a thousand spiritual stones, which Lao Lao refused to give alive, but Zhou Yang insisted and would fall out if he didn't want to, so Lao Lao accepted it.
Of course, the person who helped me so much was not for a thousand spirit stones, but brothers were brothers, and Song Dahu would also ask for help from others. The flower spirit stone was indispensable, and he must not let others help him and then use the spirit stone.
Early on the next morning, Song Laosan happily came to Pengcheng Inn and handed Zhou Yang a skin bag in person. Zhou Yang opened it and exclaimed: "Star Stone!"
This is a palm-sized stone, which looks like iron but not iron, looks like gold but not gold. It is black and heavy. It is exactly the star stone described in the key to alchemy.
At that moment, Zhou Yang and Tie Hu pulled Tiger straight to Tianxingmen's territory. They had to thank their three brothers in person.
At noon, the three brothers Zhou Yang, Tiehu and Song were chatting and drinking.
The relationship between several people also heated up rapidly, especially Erhu, Huhu and Tiehu. These three tigers almost talked about everything.
Although Zhou Yang drank a lot, he was happy today and drank a little too much. Under the so-called escort of Erhuhuhu, he and his senior brother stumbled back to the inn.
Another day passed, and there was still no news from Liu and Liang. They must have returned to Anping City directly. Zhou Yang and his senior brother agreed to return to Anping as soon as possible.
The shops and markets in Dingbeicheng have basically been visited. Only some shops in Xicheng have not been visited, but they should be similar and nothing surprising. So Zhou Yang and his two men packed up and, escorted by Erhu, Huhu and others, came all the way to the teleportation array in Nancheng.
Several people were very speculative and reluctant to leave. Zhou Yang made an appointment with the brothers to meet in Anping in the future. Tiger then let the two go. After he quietly handed Zhou Yang a pill bottle, he also took the Qingqing that the two rented before. The wolf returned to the north of the city.
Tiehu experienced another life-threatening teleportation experience, and the two finally arrived in the east of Anping City.
As soon as they came out of the teleportation array, both of them breathed out, feeling that the spiritual energy in Anping City was fresher than that in Dingbei. During the past few days in Dingbei, except for a few days with the three tigers of the Song family, the rest of the time was too depressing.
After taking Qinglang, Zhou Yang and Tiehu arrived at Liu Menglong's shop first. Sure enough, he returned to Anping two days ago, and Liang Sanli happened to be there too, so the four of them went to Wanshun Building to set up a table and talk to each other about what happened during the period.
It turned out that Liu Menglong relied on his relationship with the trade deacon of the trading house in Dingbei to clear all the matters related to the sale of monster materials, and was ready to return to the city. But another shop in Nancheng also took a fancy to his materials, negotiated with them for a long time, and agreed that the price of the materials would be favorable in the future, so it was delayed for a few days.
Liang Sanli saw that Liu Menglong had not returned to the city for a long time, so he went to Dingbei with relevant personnel from Tongzhou Commercial Bank. After being contacted by personnel from the Dingbei branch, he met Liu Menglong. After the two of them finished their work, they headed straight back home from Dingbei Nancheng.
After hearing this, Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Brother Liang, you really plan before taking action. You take one step and look at the other. I admire you so much!"
Liang Sanli knew Zhou Yang's intention and laughed loudly and said: "Brother, people travel thousands of miles and plan before they act, while demons travel thousands of miles and smell before they act. With our cultivation level, we have to think twice before acting!"
"Brother's words of wisdom are respected by my little brother!" Zhou Yang was sincerely taught.
Liang Sanli deserves to be a veteran in the shopping mall. He has been working hard for many years and has rich experience. He is worth learning from Zhou Yang. If he had made a decision before acting, and acted after taking a look, so many things would not have happened.
"Brother, you must have gained a lot from your trip to Dingbei. How do you feel about it?" Liu Menglong smiled.
"Both of us are new to Dingbei, so we naturally have a lot of experiences. Regardless of other things, without certain connections and backgrounds, some things cannot be accomplished." Zhou Yang said solemnly.
"Haha, what I said is true. If Brother Liang and I were not taken care of by Tongzhou Trading Company, it is still unclear whether we could return to Anping. Brother, you two went straight to Dingbei without any investigation, and you escaped unharmed. I admire you so much!" Liu Menglong smiled.
"Brother, I made fun of you. If you have a long trip next time, you should think twice before taking action."
"Haha, the next generation is to be feared, the next generation is to be feared!" In Dingbei and his party, Liu Menglong had a thorough understanding of Zhou Yang's ability, and felt much more relieved when he handed over Yangtian Pavilion to him.
"Brother Liu is far-sighted and is actually my younger brother's teacher." Zhou Yang was referring to the matter of hoarding monster materials.
"Haha, let's wait and see for a while and then make plans in the future." Liu Menglong naturally understood.
Tie Hu on the side was confused and confused. But Liang Sanli understood what he meant and said: "At present, Tongzhou Trading Company occupies half of Tuyan City, and other shops can't catch up. However, Yangtian Pavilion's business is booming, and Brother Zhou deserves the most credit!"
"Haha, Brother Liang, can we stop flattering each other?"
"Haha, I'm telling the truth, brother. The massive purchase of low- and medium-level demonic beast materials is the only correct way at the moment. Otherwise, Yangtian Pavilion will be in danger!"
"That's right, brother, the three of us are a perfect match and we can achieve great things. Come, cheers to the prosperity of Yangtian Pavilion and to your bright future and mine!" Liu Menglong suggested, and everyone drank the wine in the cup.
During the dinner, Liu Menglong whispered a few words to Zhou Yang in private, but Zhou Yang was shocked.
He said two things, and Zhou Yang was surprised by the first one.
