Some time ago, there was an incident of a red flame horned tiger hurting people near Cangshou Mountain. A red flame horned tiger has repeatedly attacked the cultivators in Cangshou Mountain, whether they are Xuanfu Sect, Sansheng Sect or Tongzhou Trading Company.
Cultivators from the three sects were all killed or injured, and a Tianyuan realm deacon of the Three Saints Sect was killed by the Red Flame Horned Tiger. This made the leader Ling Jiali very angry and hurriedly sent experts to Cang Beast Mountain to investigate the matter.
The red-flamed horned tiger once visited the Xuanfu Sect's mines, causing many casualties among the Xuanfu Sect's disciples. In the end, Li Chengdao, the head of Wenfeng Hall, led two Tianyuan realm deacons to force him back, and The Scarlet Flame Horned Tiger disappeared after leaving the Xuanfu Sect Mine.
According to what Liu Menglong said, this red flame horned tiger is definitely not a red tiger. Chihu is still underage and is not that strong at all, but this news is also very important to Zhou Yang.
Except for the last beast wave in Cang Beast Mountain, no high-level monsters have ever taken the initiative to attack cultivators, especially those who attack groups of cultivators. So why does this red flame horned tiger hurt so many people? And in the end, they only attacked the Xuanfu Sect's mine.
For Zhou Yang, if Chi Hu appeared, then this problem would be easily explained. But this beast was not a red tiger, which puzzled him.
"Is it possible that he is the same kind as Red Tiger? Or is he an elder?" Zhou Yang pondered for a long time. Although he couldn't figure out the context here, he had some vague guesses.
In the past, in the dense forest under the Chuanyun Peak in the Daqing Mountains, the person who was killed by the fifth-level high-level monster ice python should be Chihu's elder, but I don't know if it was his father or his mother.
If Chihu traveled alone across thousands of miles of wasteland and found his elders who remained in the world, then what happened on Cangshou Mountain would make sense. But the key is that Red Tiger has never appeared, which is intriguing.
The second thing made Zhou Yang feel a little relieved, and it also answered some of his previous doubts, but it was Liang Sanli joining Tongzhou Trading Company!
As for the details, Liu Menglong did not elaborate. Moreover, he once again persuaded Zhou Yang to join the industry, but Zhou Yang was noncommittal and shied away from the matter.
Back at Lingtian, just as the big-leaf grass and two elixirs were ripe, Mo Chenglong also rushed back. After everyone was busy, they got a pile of green spiritual stones.
After excluding costs, this season's net profit was twelve thousand yuan of first-grade spiritual stones, which was four thousand yuan more than the previous season. This does not include the Moon-Watching Golden Orchid that will mature in the coming year.
The extra four thousand spirit stones are the income from Fire Dragon Grass and Earth Fairy Flower. These two kinds of elixirs are not widely grown and have a long growth period, but the income is still considerable.
Originally, Zhou Yang and Tie Hu did not have a share of this season's harvest. They had already spent all their share. But with an extra four thousand spiritual stones, Zhou Yang and Tiehu could each get a share of eighteen hundred spiritual stones, not counting Yangtian Pavilion's share and expenses.
Including costs and profits, this pile of spiritual stones amounts to tens of thousands.
Mo Chenglong looked at the pile of spiritual stones and said: "Winter is here, and there will be no harvest for several months. Should these spiritual stones be returned to Tongzhou Trading Company first?"
"It's better not to pay it back yet. We are in Tu Yancheng to purchase materials for low- and middle-level monsters, which will require a large amount of spiritual stones. These will be considered as our cost. Accordingly, Liu and Liang will also have to spend the same amount. Lingshi becomes a shareholder.”
Zhou Yang shook his head and did not agree with Mo Chenglong's opinion, and said: "The profit from the eight thousand spirit stones here belongs to Brother Mo. If Brother Mo reinvests these spirit stones into Yangtian Pavilion, in the share distribution agreed upon internally, , and then gave another half to Wei Di. Everyone, what are your opinions?"
"Agree!" Tiehu and Li Tong naturally had no objections, but Mo Chenglong and his son felt embarrassed. Zhou Yang brought them all this, and also gave them the extremely precious Huang Lingdan. Without Zhou Yang, they and his son would not be here. Everything at the moment.
But Zhou Yang has always been fair in the distribution of interests, so the two of them couldn't say anything more, so they acquiesced.
"Okay, let's do it like this. Now that the public security in Tu Yan City has improved, Brother Tong and Sister Xing'er will also go to Tu Yan to have a look. Senior Brother and Wei Nian will go again if they have a chance, and Brother Mo must continue to preside over Yangtian Pavilion. You have no objections Bar?"
"No objection!" Everyone said in unison.
"Okay, tomorrow Brother Mo will be in charge of liaising with Shopkeeper Liang and taking the elixirs, magical artifacts and other items to Tu Yan first. I will go with Brother Tong and Sister Xing'er the day after tomorrow."
Brother and sister Li Tong were very excited when they heard that they would be able to return to their hometown the day after tomorrow. They have not been back for five or six years. They are looking forward to what Tu Yan will be like after the beast tide, and whether they still have their own home.
After the distribution was completed, Zhou Yang pulled Mo Chenglong aside and asked, "Didn't Cangshou Palace pay the debt of the 100,000 spirit stones?"
"No." Mo Chenglong shook his head.
"Deacon Cheng must have said hello. I have to remember this." Zhou Yang nodded.
"Will it just go away?"
"Letter comes first, I will definitely repay my debt." Zhou Yang said seriously.
"Okay, let's pay it back together." Mo Chenglong also nodded heavily.
"One hundred thousand spirit stones were a huge debt to you and me before. But now it seems that it is not difficult. With our current development situation, we can pay it back in less than three years!" Zhou Yang said confidently.
"Absolutely no problem." Mo Chenglong now has 100% trust in Zhou Yang.
The day after Mo Chenglong left, brother and sister Zhou Yang and Li Tong passed through the passing formation and arrived at Tu Yan City.
After not seeing each other for more than ten days, Tu Yancheng has changed a lot, and the city walls have become much thicker. With the current strength, it is estimated that even the fifth-level high-level monsters cannot easily break through.
Many buildings on the street have been restored, and there are more pedestrians. The patrol guards have changed from one Zi Yuan Sect family to a coalition of several families, and the order in the city has been improved.
Free Market has resumed operations, but has been reduced from four times to twice in ten days. This move provides convenience for some cultivators who are short of money and have low strength.
But what makes Zhou Yang regretful is that there are still many disabled cultivators on both sides of the street, and there are also some poor young cultivators who are homeless and can only sleep on the streets.
Li Tong and Li Xing'er were already dumbfounded. How could this still be the Tuyan City from five or six years ago!
In their eyes, compared with before, it was a paradise and a hell. Not to mention the disabled cultivators on the roadside, even those who are not disabled are dressed in rags and do not even have a decent robe.
Moreover, the number of buildings in the city has decreased by more than half than before. Most of the new buildings are low-rise houses. Familiar streets have disappeared. The ancestral land of the Li family has also disappeared, replaced by ruins.
The brother and sister burst into tears, for the sake of their relatives and for Tu Yan.
At this time, Zhou Yang also thought of many people, including Binglan, Shopkeeper Xiao, Liuyun and Caihong on the boat, and his enemy Gao De.
When he left Tu Yancheng, it was thanks to Shopkeeper Xiao and Caihong that he made an oath in his heart that if he escaped, he would repay his favor in the future. But whether they are dead or alive is unknown at this time. If you have the chance, you must look for it.
However, his other enemy He Dongcang is still alive and well, and has even broken through the middle stage of Lingtai. Not only that, another descendant of the He family came to Ziyuan Sect to fill the vacancy of He Dongluo.
He didn't see his uncle Zhong Pengfei last time. After returning to Yangtian Pavilion this time, he sent someone to report to his uncle and invite him to come to the shop.
When the brother and sister Li Tong arrived at Yangtian Pavilion, Zhou Yang planned to arrange a guard job for them first, but the two did not want to stay in the backyard all the time. They preferred to be shop assistants so that they could learn how to do business.
At noon, Zhong Peng flew to Yangtian Pavilion. When he saw Zhou Yang's appearance, he couldn't help but feel dumb. This guy's appearance had changed so much that he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Uncle, you are at the second level of Tianyuan! Congratulations!" Zhou Yang keenly sensed Zhong Pengfei's aura and congratulated him repeatedly.
"Haha, it's not all your fault! Let's talk inside." Zhong Peng kept smiling, but Zhou Yang felt that something was wrong.
The two chatted over wine in a quiet room.
Zhou Yang first narrated his experience during this period, handed Zhong Pengfei a bottle of fire elixir, and then solved his mental problems.
Zhong Pengfei thought deeply. He deeply agreed with Qin Ming's judgment, but he couldn't think of a good way for the moment, so he handed a jade slip to Zhou Yang.
After Zhou Yang used his spiritual consciousness to investigate, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. It turned out to be the complete set of exercises of Xuan Gang Jue, including the mental methods for cultivating to the golden elixir realm, etc.
This is not just a complete set of exercises. His previous Xuangang Jue can barely be regarded as an intermediate technique, but there are many places where the explanation is not clear. Only by obtaining the last part of the Xuangang Jue can the whole set of techniques be considered complete. It can be considered as a truly intermediate skill.
The most essential part is several secret methods. Among them, there are secret manipulation techniques for various types of magic weapons, and even magic control techniques for aiming at magic weapons and even magic weapons, etc.
In addition, there are also Qi Condensing Techniques similar to the Wood Breath Jue, and the Zi Yuan Clone Technique obtained by the ancestor of Zi Yuan. Unfortunately, this technique can only be practiced by masters of the Golden Core Realm.
As for other secret techniques, Zhou Yang couldn't practice them with his current strength. He could only practice the secret techniques of manipulating magic weapons and the Qi Condensation Technique.
In the past, Ziyuan disciples were taught this skill according to its levels. From the outer sect to the inner sect and then to the elite, this set of skills was gradually advanced step by step. If you don't have enough skills, or the sect's contribution is not enough, you can never pass on subsequent skills, even to deacons and elite disciples.
The most complete Xuangang Jue technique can only be practiced by senior officials of Ziyuan Sect. Zhong Pengfei did not have this qualification before, and he was able to achieve it after entering the Presbyterian Church.
Since meeting Zhou Yang, Zhong Pengfei has been going smoothly, and his status in the sect has been rising steadily. However, it is just because of his insufficient cultivation, otherwise the position of great elder would be his.
His reputation reached its peak after signing a cooperation contract with Tongzhou Commercial Bank. It can be said that he was at the height of his power and his prestige was greatly enhanced.
However, this also attracted a lot of criticism, and with the promotion of thoughtful people, these criticisms intensified. Some senior elders in the Presbyterian Church began to target him, especially the punishment elder Chen Yan.
He always believed that Zhong Pengfei was the culprit who betrayed the Ziyuan Sect, and he made things difficult for him at every turn, never giving him a good look.
Zhong Pengfei was originally in charge of the industry within the clan, and he should also manage the iron ore after it was mined again. But everyone knows that this is a good job now. Wang Qinggong, who had been hiding far behind the beast tide, suddenly appeared and volunteered to manage the mine.
