Time is really the most terrifying thing in the world!

There were some difficulties that you felt were impossible to solve at the time, but as time went by, you might find that it was nothing at all.

There are some things you thought were easy to deal with at the time, but as time goes by, you may find that you can't handle them at all.

Forty years have changed, and most of what Yu Chenzhou had done so hard to collapse after his death. Even the Yu family, which he had fully protected, was greatly weakened today forty years later. This was because Zhang Lie was not in love with his old love and intentionally or unintentionally let the Guardian take care of the Yu family. Otherwise, the Yu family would not be able to defend the huge family business at all with the current Yu family.

Strong things are often broken from the inside. Yu Chenzhou did not expect that when he was alive, the younger generations of the family who were friendly and respectful would make a fuss to the point of swords facing each other after his death. The entire family no longer expanded outward, but instead fought for the family business and money. The brothers gradually became more hateful and terrifying than the enemies outside.

In the Dao Palace, Zhang Lie, Ye Ling, and Tang Mingyue were all there. Wang Zhongxuan respectfully handed over a gift box with both hands. After opening it, a spiritual bead the size of a baby's fist was rotated on the cushion, filled with spiritual energy and treasure light was overflowing.

"Sir, this is the bead that Elder Xu of my clan has spent a lot of effort to refine in recent years. It is named "Liuyun Tiangang". This bead is a second-level top spiritual weapon, but Elder Xu said that its actual value is definitely not lower than that of the third-level magic weapon. After injecting enough magic power, it can transform a Tiangang shield to protect itself, which can defend against almost any type of attack, and also has a good defensive effect on spiritual attacks."

“Wow!”

After seeing this pearl, little stars almost began to flash in Ye Ling's eyes. This Liuyun Tiangang pearl transforms pure magic power and nourishes spiritual consciousness. It is simply tailor-made for the disciples of Qianzhushan Sect. Especially Brother Zhang has a strong magic power. After owning this pearl, he may be able to compete with the third-level middle-grade magic weapon.

These forty years have passed. After successfully building the foundation, Ye Ling has reached the peak of the early stage of foundation building after these forty years of hard work. When building the foundation, she spent a lot of time to fine-tune her body proportions. Her appearance is obviously the same as a little loli back then, but now she has become fleshy, but the flesh is growing where it should grow.

When cultivators build foundations and form pills, they can fine-tune their own body. Cultivation is a process of continuous evolution. Therefore, unless the cultivator practices special mental methods, most immortals will become immortal or demonized as they are promoted to higher levels.

However, Ye Ling used the foundation building pill twice because of this excessive love for beauty. She used the foundation building pill worth ten thousand spirit stones as a beauty pill. Even a wealthy person like Zhang Lie trembled in his heart when he saw Ye Ling's changes after leaving the seclusion. How could this become beautiful? This is clearly a spirit stone on himself and forcing his value to increase his value!

However, after swallowing the spirit pill, Zhang Lie could only touch his forehead and sigh but admitted it. He just recovered the two remaining foundation-building pills in Ye Ling's hand.

At this moment, there was only that pearl left in Ye Ling's eyes, imagining that after the senior brother eliminated these magic weapons, he would buy them at a low price.

However, Zhang Lie himself remained awake. He savored the spiritual tea that Tang Mingyue fell beside him, shook his head and sneered:

"Things are indeed good things, but why did the Wang family come from this time? No matter how rich and powerful the first overseas immortal cultivation family is, I don't think it can give it to others for free by giving it to others with a spiritual object worth a third-level magic weapon."

"Where, where, I have been talking too much. For so many years, I have been taking care of the Wang family's business. Over the years, everyone has been in seclusion and cultivation. The Wang family has no chance to meet. After so many years, I will make up for the love that I owe in the past at one time. I hope that the Wang family's gifts will not be too thin."

The overseas immortal cultivation world has rich resources, but it is far inferior to the inland immortal cultivation world in terms of all kinds of skills. Otherwise, there would be no more than ten grand masters of the Wang family, and the elder Xu, whom Wang Zhongxuan mentioned, is the only third-level weapon refiner among the more than ten grand masters of the Wang family. He is a high-powered position in the Wang family. Many famous spiritual weapons and magic weapons in the littoral area are all out of his hands.

Therefore, a third-level weapon refiner was asked to spend time to tailor a high-matching spiritual weapon for a foundation-building cultivator. This gift was not just thin, but too heavy. The moment Wang Zhongxuan took out the pearl, Zhang Lie became vigilant and careful. When Wang Zhongxuan said that he would give it for free, and he would not accept a single spiritual stone. At that moment, Zhang Lie knew that what he asked for next was quite a cause and effect.

"Oh, it's not a big deal, but you know that Master, the owner of the house has been endless over the years, and my head of the family is really annoyed. I think it would be better if Master Li Shi was not here... don't you?"

"As long as you are willing to nod, we will do all the rest. Soon, no one will be upset again."

Listening to Wang Zhongxuan's words, Tang Mingyue and Ye Ling both looked at each other and stopped the sound for a moment. Zhang Lie closed his eyes slightly and was drinking tea there, as if thinking about something.

(Li Shi, this guy, finally found out that the Wang family was on the head. Didn’t he think he was long? He could move the Wang family?)

When Yu Chenzhou was alive, he evaded taxes and secretly smuggled, and his business became bigger and bigger. At that time, he did not just to fill his personal pockets, but that the laws of many sects were rigid and unified, which had their benefits and of course the disadvantages. The meaning of the laws of many sects was to suppress the development of surrounding immortal cultivation families, so as not to lose their heads and cause disasters.

However, such sect rules are of course meaningless to the Fiery Market. The monsters here are strong and the humans are weak. Properly supporting the growth of the local immortal cultivation family is a special task to rule the coastal area at a relatively small ruling cost.

Yu Chenzhou's political approach is correct, but it seriously violates the laws of the sect. As the first overseas casual cultivator, the Wang family, of course, benefited greatly from such private transactions. However, now a person like Li Shi has emerged and has begun to dig out the old accounts of the year. If he really lets him make all the things under the table clear to the world, according to the laws of the Qianzhushan Sect, the Wang family not only lost bankruptcy, but also had to kill everyone in the family. At least the new generation of the head of the Wang family would definitely not be able to escape.

Problem, all these violations were done by the previous generation of the heads of the family, and the heads of the Wang family made compensation? If anyone else would not agree.

"... People like Li Shi have all their abilities and qualities. If you take this pearl back, it's fine. But I can't agree to turn a blind eye to this matter. Go back and tell Wang Xuangan that if he dares to touch Li Shi's finger, he will declare war on my Qianzhushan Sect, and I, Zhang Lie and him will never stop!"

"……grown ups?!"

Because of Zhang Lie's words, Wang Zhongxuan was a little confused, but he did not expect that the garrison master in front of him would do this to Li Shi, who had no friendship at all.

The master in front of me is dead, and Li Shi, who has no background in the sect, is different. The master in front of me, the true disciple of Qianzhushan Sect and the third-level alchemist, was directly transferred to the coastal coastal area as a remote border area on the eve of the Mingzhou sect's war. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this TM is the seed of the Qianzhushan Sect's inheritance. Therefore, as the first overseas casual cultivator, the Wang family was brave enough to secretly press the dying of the dying market, but they had to win Zhang Lie's consent first. Zhang Lie disagreed. Even Wang Xuangan, as the head of the Wang family, had to weigh it.

As the head of the Binhai Market, Wang Zhongxuan has no advantages. His biggest advantage is that he is very obedient. After learning about Zhang Lie’s information, Wang Chengen, the ancestor of the family, once ordered Wang Zhongxuan: to respect Zhang Lie with the attitude of respecting the Grand Master of Killing Dan.

Since then, Wang Zhongxuan has naturally lowered Zhang Lie's generation, and he really respected the other party as the master of Killing Dan.

After Wang Zhongxuan left with Baozhu, Ye Ling felt so distressed that she seemed to be shattering her heart. She couldn't help but complain: "Senior brother, the Wang family has been dating our family well over the years. On the contrary, the Taoist Li Shi, who is evil when everyone sees people, is sad when they see ghosts. If you don't accept the gift from the Wang family, why bother with the Wang family for the sake of Li Shi?"

"You also know how hateful it is to check people's old things like Li Shi. It's fine if he continues to investigate this matter, and I'm afraid you will be implicated."

What Ye Ling mentioned at this time is not the other side of the sect. In the past forty years, Zhang Lie's alchemy technique has surpassed Xu Huiyun, the first alchemist in the sect in the past. Although Xu Huiyun successfully broke through in seclusion in these forty years and was promoted to Jindan Zhenren, she seemed to have encountered a bottleneck. The one-hand alchemy technique was unable to be upgraded to the fourth level. Of course, this is also a normal phenomenon. There are many first-level and second-level elixir recipes in the immortal cultivation world, and they are dazzling in sects like Qianzhushan Sect. Various inheritances are divided into categories. After reaching the third-level elixir, various types of elixir recipes have been reduced suddenly. The third-level elixir is like this, let alone the fourth-level elixir?

With fewer reserves of classics, the benefits that future generations can obtain will be reduced year-on-year. When the alchemy technique is upgraded to that level, it will be difficult to step on the shoulders of the giants and overlook the world. Therefore, Xu Huiyun is stuck at the third level and the fourth level, which is normal.

However, she was stuck there, and Zhang Lie would not wait behind. With the super high tolerance rate brought by her powerful comprehension and the life fire ability, Zhang Lie's current third-level alchemy level is already faintly above Xu Huiyun. If it weren't for the fact that the ancestor Li still covered Xu Huiyun, and based on pure profit calculations, the Deacon Palace would rather hand over the large alchemy task to Zhang Lie to handle.

Such an important disciple of the sect is destined to be removed from his current position even if Zhang Lie committed anything. At most, he would return to the sect and practice alchemy for a hundred years.

What Ye Ling really feared was that Zhang Lie offended the Wang family to death, causing the Wang family to jump over the wall and attack Zhang Lie. Although the probability is not high, it is not completely none. After all, the overseas immortal cultivation world is known for being dangerous. If it is the Taoist Li Shi and Zhang Lie dies in the shipwreck of the invasion of monsters, what can Li Jingxu, even if he is a powerful and domineering scholar in Qianzhushan Sect?

Helping the Wang family has great benefits, but not much risk, but helping Li Shi has no benefits, but great risks. Therefore, Ye Ling couldn't understand what the senior brother, who has always been smart and steady, thought about this matter.

"The water is clear and there is no fish, and the person is observant, there is no disciple. Li Shi is not easy to use. There is no doubt that there are three other techniques for controlling people and governing the Tao: profit, power, and fame. If a person is greedy for money, you can use profit to reward him; if a person is cowardly, you can use punishment to suppress him; if a person is good at fame, you can use reputation to respect him and praise him... But if he is both virtuous and talented, nothing is good, and it is almost perfect? ​​What do you use to reward him, suppress him, and praise him?"

"Lishi is close to this kind of person, and this kind of person is the least useful one."

The more you practice, the better the memory of the immortal cultivator will become. When Zhang Lie practiced to this day, the books and miscellaneous studies he had read in his previous life will be reproduced in his mind today, and can be extracted and applied at any time and anywhere, and even have a deeper understanding.

"Since that's the case, why do you have to do your best to protect Li Shi?" Tang Mingyue also took a step forward and asked softly.

"Because people have to use their strengths and weaknesses. People like Lishi are like stones in pits, smelly and hard, but if used well, they are just taking antipyretics and a life-saving talisman. Since ancient times, honest officials have been like phoenix hairs and horns, corrupt officials are like carp crossing the river and sand of the Yellow River. But there is no doubt that a stable force is supported by those honest people. If the entire sect falls into chaos, then this sect is not far from destruction."

"You may not be a honest and honest person, but you should at least have the minimum respect for such people." As he spoke, Zhang Lie walked to Ye Ling's side, reached out and gently tapped the other party's forehead.

With a thud, Ye Ling's forehead and eyebrows turned red.

She covered her forehead with a whisper and said aggrievedly: "I'm not honest yet. Why have I been greedy for the sect? Even if I have some money, it's all taken it."

"I haven't performed any sect tasks for more than 40 years. I only received my salary and did not work. I'm so embarrassed to say that I'm honest and honest? Isn't this considered digging a corner of the sect?"

"It's not your fault. You offended so many people. I am your most distressed junior sister. You have never dared to go out at will for the past forty years. Am I brave enough to go out at will?"

"...Yes, speaking of this, forty years, many things should be resolved and dealt with."

...

Since Wang Zhongxuan could know the news that Zhang Lie had left the seclusion, his disciples and subordinates could of course know it.

There was almost no interruption in the elixir and subculture for forty years. Although his cultivation strength has been greatly improved, Zhang Lie also needs to be clean and cultivated for a period of time to calm his mood.

On this day, he was playing chess with Tang Mingyue, and Ye Ling was half lying on the side. Tang Mingyue glanced at her from time to time, because after Ye Ling adjusted her figure, she especially liked to use this kind of lying on the sidelines to get close to Zhang Lie.

Zhang Lie has a pure yang magic power, and has not lost his pure yang for more than 90 years of practice. If it is dual cultivation rather than supplementary, for female cultivators, Zhang Lie is a great tonic medicine. Therefore, Tang Mingyue and Ye Ling have been competing with each other over the years. One is gentle and sweet, the other is cute. They are waiting for Zhang Lie to use the power of dual cultivation to help him achieve the golden elixir.

Tang Mingyue's advantage is that she has practiced the Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix-Up Phoenix

At this moment, Zhang Lie's two fingers of chess suddenly stopped. He said sideways: "The two little guys are back, hey, it seems that they are still carrying two outsiders."

"Xiao En Xiaojie is back? Outsider, did Xiaojie bring her children back to see you, your master?"

"No, those two people already have great cultivation skills. If Xiaojie's children have such cultivation skills, she won't have to worry so much."

Not long after, Zhang Lie's eldest disciple Sun En and second disciple Sun Jie did come to pay their respects with two monks.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ling burst into tears. She couldn't understand why the senior brother's spiritual consciousness was so much stronger than himself when he practiced the Shenshuo Art.

"Disciple Sun En, pay homage to Master."

"Disciple Sun Jie, pay homage to Master."

Sun En and Sun Jie each brought a monk whom Zhang Lie didn't know. It was fine if the female cultivator in white beside Sun En. Seeing the intimate attitude of the two, Zhang Lie was not blind, of course he knew what was going on. However, the person Sun Jie was carrying seemed a little strange. He was a middle-aged male monk with some timid and nervousness, his expression was respectful but unnatural, and he did not express the kindness of admiration and affection like Xu Feng.

"Master, this is my favorite Xu Feng. I brought her to see you today. I hope you can allow me to make a dual-cultural partner with Feng'er."

In the world of immortal cultivation, the parents' orders are still the orders of their parents. The media said that in the past forty years after Sun Lianheng's death, Zhang Lie almost served as the father of Sun En and Sun Jie. Although he was focused on his cultivation and had some insufficient care and care for these two disciples, in terms of resources, Sun En and Sun Jie almost worshiped a generous master of the elixir. There was never a shortage of two people in various types of cultivation pills and resources.

Therefore, Sun Enji respected his master, regarded him as his father, and trusted him with great trust.

Zhang Lie looked up and down at Xu Feng from the upper head, and nodded for a while and said, "No, his spiritual sense is clear and his cultivation foundation is still quite deep. En'er, you have a good vision and find a good match."

As soon as he heard the meaning of Zhang Lie's words, Sun En said ecstaticly: "Thank you, Master, why don't Feng'er thank you yet?"

"Xu Feng, thank you Master."

"Well, the road ahead is long. You two will support each other and work hard together in the future. I have nothing else on me. Let's give you two newcomers these two bottles of elixirs." Yan said, two bottles of second-level elixirs for gaining magic power were flying out of Zhang Lie's sleeves. Over the past forty years, he has almost refined all the second-level elixirs for enhancing their skills in Qianzhushan Sect, because each elixir has a certain upper limit. After reaching a certain level, the effect will not be worse or worse, and it will even lose its effect. Zhang Lie's foundation is fifty times deeper than ordinary cultivators, which means that the amount of elixirs required is fifty times... Fortunately, the Yin and Yang Five Elements Foundation has built up the foundation, and his five elements of spiritual roots have been improved to the quality of the heavenly spiritual roots. Otherwise, the elixirs that burned millions of spirit stones in 40 years will not be enough for him to upgrade to this level today.

"Thank you, thank you for your kind gift."

After Sun En and Xu Feng, the new couple, Sun Jie walked up and asked the people around her to speak.

"In Qi Yun, Xialin family, I will pay homage to Senior Dan King."

"Well, you want Jie'er to bring you here, what's the matter?"

After hearing this, Qi Yun sighed and said, "Senior, this is the matter. Forty years ago, my father, as the leader of the previous generation of Qi family, went out to sea with fellow Taoists to hunt monsters. Because the demon fog was trapped, he accidentally discovered a large island in a panic. There were many bans on that island, and there were many evil monsters living there, but at the same time there were many rare treasures on it. Depending on the situation, it should be the ruins of ancient monks..."

Halfway through Qi Yun's words, Zhang Lie understood what he meant. Some of these caves of senior monks, ruins of ancient sects, and immortal cultivation worlds can be found almost every year. After all, sects like the ancient Five Elements Sect that were used to cut off the inheritance of Taoism, and the hanging mountains in Mingzhou were similar. Exploring such ruins is dangerous, but they can also be said to be of many benefits. Smaller cave ruins can help a monk soar into the sky from now on. The large-scale ruins of ancient sects can even allow a group of monks to establish sects from now on, and dominate the whole area.

Of course, no good or bad fortune can be summoned by oneself. In the world of immortal cultivation, monks gain benefits from this kind of exploration every year, but a large number of monks die in these ruins every year, and the number of the latter is probably much greater than the former.

"Two years ago, my father died incarnation. Now, the agreed time to explore the ruins again has come. If the younger generation goes alone, my cultivation is low. Not to mention getting benefits, I am afraid that even my life will be difficult to preserve. Therefore, I want to ask Senior Dan King to help me to explore the ancient ruins on my behalf. All the gains from the ruins are the personal gains of the seniors. Now, I only want Seniors to share some of the benefits."

Qi Yun is just a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi refining. He spent a lot of effort to come to Zhang Lie through Sun Jie's relationship, and even made some research on Zhang Lie's character. The Dan King Zhang Lie attaches importance to promises and is generous. This is reflected very clearly in Sun En and Sun Jie. The most important thing is that as long as he is willing, such a master of alchemy can create foundation-building pills for himself. Even if this exploration is not good, no benefit will be shared, in the Qi family, at least he will hold on to Zhang Lie, the thigh of the Dan King of Qianzhushan Sect.

With this path, even if it is difficult to walk, it is better than not being able to find the temple gate with a pig's head like before.

"I know that Master may be very bored after leaving the seclusion. Master was called Mingzhou elixir demon back then, but now after forty years of hard practice, there is no chance to take action. I think it is very lonely and unbearable." Sun Jie took a step forward, smiling and said like this.

Although she is married as a wife, she still likes to understand the thoughts of her master Zhang Lie. This is why, even though she is far less hard than Sun En's hard work in her cultivation, Zhang Lie still likes her very much, because this little cotton jacket is sometimes really considerate, and sometimes it turns into a big sweater, which makes Zhang Lie so angry that he smokes his seven orifices.

For her foundation, Zhang Lie told her not to marry before building the foundation, especially not to lose her body of Yuanyin before building the foundation. As a result, Sun Jie had children before building the foundation. Fortunately, she succeeded in building the foundation with Zhang Lie's help. Zhang Lie deeply experienced the psychological activities of parents in the previous generation prohibiting their daughter from having an early love relationship.

Sun Jie's path was flying all the way low. She basically had no chance of further cultivation to the level of Killing Dan. Now she runs a family with her husband. Unlike her brother Sun En, Sun Jie has given up her father's hatred and chose to start a new life. Sun En has never forgotten this. Over the years, he has learned about Sun Lianheng's identity as an enemy in the past through his own channels. The reason why the child who has not pursued Sun Lianheng over the years is also concerned about Zhang Lie's identity as a true disciple of the Qianzhushan Sect.

Although he hated, in order to eliminate the two children of enemies who are not threatening him, he offended the Qianzhushan Sect and offended the ancestor of Pure Land Li Jingxu, who is also famous among the Nascent Soul monks. Most of the high-level monks have no such brain circuit.
To be continued...
