Songzhou is located in the eastern part of Lingfeng Kingdom. Its area ranks among the top three among all the states and counties in the country. It can be regarded as a real big state. Unfortunately, the resources in this state are extremely scarce, making its overall value the lowest in the entire Lingfeng Kingdom.
Songzhou has been an inconspicuous place for many years. Even the immortal sect that exists here only has two or three big cats and kittens. It is really not famous.
This situation lasted until the war between good and evil, and Songzhou began to change after it fell into the sphere of evil influence.
The scarcity of resources means that there are no decent cultivating sects in the local area, and it is extremely easy to deal with and arrange them. Coupled with the special geographical location, it happens to be in the border area between two medium-sized countries, Lingfeng Kingdom and Yuanwu Kingdom, as well as several small countries such as Xuanmu Kingdom and Qingyang Kingdom.
Therefore, Mo Dao directly planned it as a commercial center, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to rebuild the original Tianfang City here.
Today, Tianfang City is no longer what it used to be. It covers an extremely vast area and has increasingly prosperous commerce. It has almost become a hub-like existence in the nearby area.
As one of the first commercial forces to move into Tianfang City, Tianhua Tower had its first bite of fat, and the benefits it received were not much worse than those of the three major business alliances of the Demonic Dao.
Today's Tianhua Building headquarters and the Tianhua Business Alliance headquarters are located here, which is the core of the entire Tianhua Building system.
Similarly, in the past, all the power of the Lingshou Mountain family, except Han and He, moved the entire family's center of gravity to Lingfeng Kingdom, and the Tianhua Building headquarters in Songzhou was the headquarters of all families. Ties.
Of course, this is also inseparable from Mo Juren's careful planning. The five major families Han, He, Wang, Gu, and Bai are all shareholders of Tianhua Building, and many small and medium-sized families further down are extended. out of the root network.
With Tianhua Tower as the core and interests as the link, so many forces have formed an intricate and close connection between you and me. It has a terrifying influence.
As the founder of Tianhua Tower, Mo Juren has long become a legendary existence and the subject of discussion for too many people after dinner, especially the dazzling halos, each of which is dazzling.
However, although Mo Juren is dazzling, he always sees the beginning but not the end of the dragon. There are very few monks who have seen his true appearance. On the contrary, the actual controller of Tianhua Tower, 'Fairy Ruyin' Xin Ruyin, is the real hotshot.
Its reputation in the commercial field is no less than the former, especially its repeated planning and layout in the commercial field over the years, which has amazed countless people.
A strange thing also happened during this period, that is, thirty years ago, when the other party went to Fulong City in Tianluo Kingdom to participate in the 'Fulong Conference' organized by the three major business alliances of the Demonic Dao on behalf of the Tianhua Business Alliance, they were sent out by the three parties one after another. Invite and ask if you intend to change the door. Although they all refused, it also further enhanced the other party's reputation.
Nowadays, Xin Ruyin has long been a very important figure in the entire Tiannan business field, and even in the world of cultivation, because she is a closed disciple of the powerful Ancestor Chi Ling in the Nascent Soul stage, people dare not look down upon her.
There are rumors that Xin Ruyin's practice has been delayed for many years due to her special constitution. However, the opponent who became the sect of the ancestor of Chi Ling started out in his sixties, and it only took him more than eighty years to reach the peak of foundation building, and was about to start forming pills.
This kind of speed can be described as terrifying, and countless people were envious and also speculated. With Fairy Ruyin's powerful qualifications, it would not be a problem to successfully enter the pill formation stage.
As expected by countless people, in Tianfang City at this time, in a room located on the top floor of Tianhua Building, Xin Ruyin, who was dressed in a blue palace dress and whose appearance was still as beautiful as before, was looking seriously towards a middle-aged man in front of her. The beautiful young woman was explaining something.
"I will leave in three days and return directly to Tianluo Kingdom to pay homage to the Master. During this period, all matters concerning Tianhua Tower will be left to you."
"Miss, feel free to go, I will help take care of you here." The beautiful middle-aged woman nodded slightly, but a look of worry suddenly flashed in her bright eyes, and she said again,
"Building pills is no small matter. Miss, are you really ready?"
"Don't worry, with so many pills to help, and Master watching over you, everything will be fine." Xin Ruyin smiled, but her clear eyes were full of confidence.
Suddenly, as if he suddenly thought of something, he said again,
"By the way, how about yourself, how is your health?"
"There's still no improvement." The beautiful middle-aged woman smiled helplessly and continued,
"Since I failed to attack the core formation bottleneck a few months ago, my cultivation progress has begun to stagnate. Later, I asked Senior Qing to help me check it out, and I found out that it turned out that the foundation was injured. Although it was slight and not fatal, it was extremely difficult to recover. "
"Why don't you come back to Yuling Sect with me this time and let Master have a look?"
"It's useless. Senior Ling Qing once said that for injuries involving spiritual roots, ordinary methods have no effect at all. Even if it were replaced by the ancestor of Chiling, the result would be the same. She is in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. A strong person must have thought deeply when he said this." The beautiful middle-aged woman sighed lightly and continued,
"After all, my qualifications were too poor. It was only after meeting Senior Mo that my life changed. Because there was no shortage of elixirs, I finally reached the peak of foundation building. I thought I could go further, but I didn't want to encounter such a thing. .”
"Don't be too negative. There is still time, and maybe there will be a turn for the better." Xin Ruyin sighed softly and quickly comforted her softly. As a personal maid who had grown up with her since childhood, although she was called a master and servant, she was no different from a biological sister. Seeing the other person so sad, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Suddenly, she suddenly thought that Mo Juren, the man who always gave her a feeling of omnipotence, might be able to do something. No matter how bad it is, the other party knows a lot more powerful people, and maybe he can find a senior who can take his place to help with the treatment.
Unfortunately, after so many years, there is still no news from the other party, and I don’t know when he will come back?
Speaking of which, we haven't contacted each other for a while, and I don't know how Yunzhi and the others are doing. I guess I still miss that person, right? When I go back this time, I can just pay a visit.
"Miss, there's no need to feel sorry for me. I'm satisfied. My husband and wife love each other and they have children and grandchildren. It's not a waste of time for me to come to this world." The beautiful middle-aged woman tried to comfort her with a smile.
"What are you talking about? You are only over one hundred and forty years old, and it is still early for your life to end." Xin Ruyin quickly scolded the other person and then said,
"Besides, there is Senior Mo. Maybe we can find a solution when he comes back."
"Senior Mo is indeed extraordinary. In my impression, nothing can trouble him. However, this time is different after all. Even a strong person at the Nascent Soul stage can't treat an injury. As a monk at the Core Formation stage, he How can it be done?”
"What kind of injury can't even be dealt with by me?" But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside. The two women were stunned for a moment, and then they both looked surprised.
The door opened in response, revealing two familiar figures, a man and a woman, none other than Mo Juren and Han Yunzhi.
"Senior Mo, it's really you!" The beautiful middle-aged woman spoke first. Although Xin Ruyin didn't speak, her bright eyes shone with excitement.
"Xiaomei?" Mo Juren smiled slightly and said,
"We haven't seen each other for so many years that I don't even recognize him anymore."
"Have I changed?" The beautiful middle-aged woman was naturally Xiaomei from the past. When she heard the other party's words, she couldn't help but touch her smooth cheek. As if he suddenly thought of something, he sighed softly and said,
"Maybe it's because I'm old and makes my seniors laugh."
"You're old, don't listen to his nonsense." Han Yunzhi on the side couldn't help rolling his eyes at someone, and then said,
"Sister Xiaomei is in her prime and has unparalleled charm. I heard that many people in Lingfeng Kingdom are secretly admiring you."
"No way!" It was just a compliment, so she naturally wouldn't care after she had experienced the world. However, it was Mo Juren who was in front of him at this moment. Xiaomei was obviously a little embarrassed, and a trace of blush appeared on her fair cheeks.
Han Yunzhi's praise was not nonsense. Xiaomei was already pretty, even her master Xin Ruyin was not as beautiful as her.
At this time, because of her cultivation, she was not aged at all, but full of charm. In addition, she had assisted Xin Ruyin in managing Tianhua Tower for many years, and her every word and deed carried the aura of a superior, which added a third of charm out of thin air.
When old friends meet, it is natural to exchange pleasantries. Of course, it's mainly Mo Juren, but Han Yunzhi is different. As half the owner, she is almost a frequent visitor here. In the past, she and Xin Ruyin would get together every few years to discuss the development of Tianhua Building. . Even if she encounters any difficulties on a daily basis, she takes the initiative to help solve them.
The two parties have become very familiar with each other, and their friendship is even more profound. Meeting again today is the same as usual, nothing special.
After everyone sat down, Xiaomei asked again:
"When did senior come back? Why didn't you notify us in advance?"
"It didn't take long. I wanted to give you a surprise, so I deliberately didn't contact you." Mo Juren smiled and said,
"By the way, I just heard you say you were injured. What happened?"
"That's it..." When it came to her own problems, Xiaomei didn't hide anything and told all the circumstances truthfully. She had some expectations in her heart. Maybe Senior Mo, who had always been 'all-powerful', could do something?
"The spiritual root is damaged?" Mo Juren was a little surprised. It turned out to be such a difficult injury? Han Yunzhi on the side also looked worried and asked,
"When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?"
"A few months ago, I thought about trying to break through the bottleneck of the core formation stage, but I didn't expect that such an accident would happen. Senior Qingqing happened to be there at the time, so I asked him to check it, but unfortunately there was nothing he could do.
Senior Lingqing even mentioned that for this kind of problem involving spiritual roots, ordinary methods will not work at all. Unless you find some special treasure of heaven and earth that can repair your spiritual roots, even if it is replaced by another Nascent Soul stage Monk, there is a high probability that there will be no results. "Xiaomei shook her head slightly and said again,
"Fortunately, the injury is not serious. There is no abnormality in practicing or using magic. The only impact is that the speed of absorbing spiritual energy has become extremely slow, almost at a stagnant state."
"I see." Han Yunzhi nodded slightly and added, "When I return to Yuling Sect in a while, I will go directly to my ancestors to ask. Maybe there is a solution."
"Thank you, Sister Han." Xiaomei could feel the other party's sincere concern, and was naturally moved.
"Repair the spiritual roots!" Mo Juren murmured, then fell silent and began to think deeply.
Seeing this scene, the other three women couldn't help but look at each other. Xiaomei, in particular, seemed to have thought of something, and a glimmer of hope instantly arose in her heart.
"Brother Mo, do you have any idea?" Han Yunzhi asked softly.
"Not yet." Mo Juren shook his head slightly and said again, "But when I break through the Nascent Soul stage, it may be possible to solve it."
Mo Juren thought of the 'Building Heaven Pill', a medicine that could purify spiritual roots and slightly improve a monk's qualifications. It should be effective. There are still three elixirs in the Xutian Cauldron, so it is no problem to give one to Xiaomei. It can also be regarded as the reward for the other party's hard work in Tianhua Tower over the years.
Of course, these are just his guesses. Whether it will work or not will only be known after trying it. The Xutian Cauldron must be in the Nascent Soul stage before it can be initially refined, which is not possible now.
"Nascent Soul stage!" Xiaomei opened her mouth, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
"Why, you don't have confidence in me?" Mo Juren asked with a smile as he couldn't see what the other party was thinking. Han Yunzhi on the side took the initiative to explain,
"Brother Mo has broken through to the late stage of pill formation and is not far from the peak."
"Late stage of pill formation!" Sure enough, both Xin Ruyin and Xiaomei looked in disbelief when they heard this. Unlike Han Yunzhi, the two women and Mo Juren had not seen each other for more than eighty years. The last time they met was on the battlefield of the Lingfeng Kingdom in the past. At that time, the other party was only in the early stage of pill formation.
More than eighty years sounds like a long time. However, it is a bit incredible to have two breakthroughs in such a long time and jump directly from the early stage of pill formation to the late stage of pill formation.
If this speed can be maintained, it will not take too long to finally break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Xiaomei is now over one hundred and forty years old. In theory, she still has about sixty years of life left. With some life-extending elixirs, it shouldn't be a problem to survive a hundred years.
As long as the spiritual roots can be repaired during this period, she can continue to practice. After having the experience of breaking through the bottleneck of pill formation, she feels that if she does it once, the probability of success will be very high.
Thinking of this, Xiaomei suddenly felt relieved and said with a beautiful face:
"Then I'll be waiting for your good news, and I also wish that my senior will break through the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible."
