"First, there is the great change in Jade Lake not far away."

“Then there’s Qinglinfang.

When the news came that Qinglinfang sold nine Foundation-Building Pills in one auction, and more Foundation-Building Pills would be auctioned later, you couldn't imagine the chaos and shock in Nuanyun Valley at that time.

If there is a force sitting on the ninth level of Qi Lian, there will be no one who will not be alarmed!

A few ninth-level Qi-training monks who were enshrined as ancestors by several forces even cried, made trouble, and yelled without caring about their image.

Just because they are too old and the news comes too late!

For a time, everyone's attention was focused on Qinglinfang, which was thousands of miles away. Who else paid attention to anything else.

The association immediately adjusted its direction and stopped thinking about opening up other trade routes.

Instead, we cooperated with Qi Lian Ninth Floor in Nuanyun Valley and Hongsong Ridge who were interested in finding opportunities in Qinglinfang, and came to Qinglinfang to develop together.

The model is roughly like this. The association organizes a large number of professionals to keep a close eye on the market changes in Qinglinfang. They produce a large number of first-level elixirs, magic tools, talismans and other items, and are escorted to Qinglinfang in batches by ninth-level Qi-training monks.

From the beginning, the association arranged for me and several other young monks to come to Qinglinfang to take root. We were responsible for investigating the real-time situation here, selling these items, and purchasing higher-quality materials to take back."

Listening to Yu Peng's story, Meng Zhou had basically understood the association's current routine.

He didn't make any comments or criticisms about it. After listening to Yu Peng's story, he was just curious about a question.

"The association is so confident that you young people can do this?

Even if they are not worried about you taking the money and running away, they are not worried about your safety at all?"

Yu Peng scratched his head, chuckled, and then said:

"To be honest, we are all direct descendants secretly selected by the association. The association will do its best to help us grow, so there is no need to worry about us running away."

"Uh..." Meng Zhou had nothing to say. Isn't this the true treatment?

Although the structure is very different from Qingxuan Sect, as far as the association is concerned, this is the attitude of cultivating successors.

From now on, the association belongs to them. At this time, whoever runs away will be stupid.

"In terms of safety, there is really nothing to worry about. Different ninth-level qi-training monks will often come to my place to deliver goods and pick up goods. This is the biggest deterrent to anyone who is interested.

Moreover, those who are thoughtful will also know that I don’t actually have much surplus wealth on me, it’s just a one-time pass.

It’s really not good for me. I won’t be able to make any money. Instead, it will attract strong hostility that I don’t know the depth of. Who would do such a thankless thing?”

Having said this, Yu Peng glanced at Du He who was sitting beside him and quickly patched it up.

"Well...he was an accident."

Meng Zhou nodded and asked again: "Teacher You is now in Nuanyun Valley?"

"Yeah." Yu Peng nodded.

"Can you contact him?" Meng Zhou asked.

"Can."

"Then you send a message to him and say that I want to invite him to Qinglinfang for a meeting." Meng Zhou said directly.

Yu Peng was startled when he heard this, and then felt a little embarrassed.

The teacher is now the core backbone of the association and one of the most powerful people in the association.

However, the teacher's weakness is a natural flaw, and his power is only effective in the one-third of an acre in Nuanyun Valley.

Once you leave the comfort zone of Nuanyun Valley, you will turn back into a bad old man who is only in the middle stage of Qi training.

Now Qinglinfang is a mess, and the roads are also a mess.

Yu Peng, who had experienced this before, was not too relieved to ask his teacher to leave Nuanyun Valley and travel thousands of miles to Qinglinfang.

"Just tell him that I have something important to say to him...well, it's no less important than the conversation he and I had in the courtyard!" Meng Zhou added lightly.

"Hiss~~" Yu Peng gasped inwardly.

Of course he knew what Uncle Zhou called the "small courtyard talk", which was the talk that created the Professionals Association.

The only ones who know about it are Uncle Zhou, the teacher, and Yu Peng himself.

"Talk in the small courtyard" is a code word that only the three of them can understand.

He also recalled that when Uncle Zhou was in Nuanyun Valley, although he often stayed at home, he talked about association-related topics with teachers several times, and almost all of them brought huge changes to the development of the association.

Therefore, Uncle Zhou's mystery does not only arise from this encounter after he left Nuanyun Valley.

But from the moment he came to Nuanyun Valley and came into contact with their master and disciple for the first time, he was already very mysterious.

Several seemingly casual conversations created a powerful force with influence across Nuanyun Valley and Red Pine Ridge.

Along with the pharmacist who was randomly recommended by the teacher, it only took Uncle Zhou a short time to practice to the peak of the first level.

——Even though Meng Zhou was very restrained, it was still too exaggerated for Master Chu Zheng who really knew his growth trajectory as a pharmacist.

So, he finally did not dare to hesitate anymore and nodded: "Okay!"

Meng Zhou finally looked at Du He and asked, "How will he deal with it?"

Yu Peng was stunned and asked cautiously: "Will you hand him over to me?"

Meng Zhou nodded: "I have no enmity or any friendship with him, and it doesn't matter whether he kills me or lets him go.

However, from what you said, he and your teacher have a certain cause and effect, so it’s up to you to decide.”

Yu Peng thought for a while and said:

"Since the teacher is coming, it is inconvenient for me to decide. I will temporarily detain him here for the next few days...Uncle Zhou, do you have a way to keep him quiet and harmless without hurting him?"

Meng Zhou nodded and said: "It's very simple... I remember you bought some first-grade high-grade spiritual vines, right?"

Yu Peng nodded.

"Give me one."

Yu Peng quickly took out a spiritual vine from his storage bag and handed it to Meng Zhou.

Meng Zhou held this first-grade high-grade spiritual vine in his hand and felt the spiritual distribution in it, then he held the spiritual vine and threw it high towards Du He.

When the spirit vine fell to Du He, it was controlled by an invisible force and wrapped around Du He several times before tying a knot.

Then, Meng Zhou dispelled the chill that had enveloped Du He.

It can be clearly seen that as the chill went away, Du He's eyes began to come alive little by little.

His mind is gradually waking up.

Meng Zhou didn't wait for him to wake up, he picked him up and threw him under Yu Peng's bed.

Finally, he said to Yu Peng, who was speechless: "With his strength, he will not starve to death for ten and a half days without eating or drinking. You should leave him alone during this period!"

Meng Zhou was convinced that as long as Yu Peng did not commit suicide, Du He would not be able to become a monster.

His seemingly ordinary binding actually captured some of the true meaning of the confinement talisman array and incorporated it into it.

It does not have the shape of a confining talisman array, but it has the meaning of a confining talisman array.

Such Du He couldn't even gather any mana.

Coupled with the quality of the high-grade spiritual vine itself, if Du He can move even half an inch under the bed, he has mastered the skill.

Then, Meng Zhou explained a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving.

…

After leaving Yu Peng's residence, not far away, "Zhou Pharmacist" had disappeared. Meng Zhou had turned into a fresh face again and went to the stall area again.

When subduing Du He, Meng Zhou habitually confiscated all valuable items such as Du He's storage bags.

After casual inspection, Meng Zhou was in a happy mood.

"I never thought I could make a small fortune."

In Du He's storage bag, there are 140 medium-grade spiritual stones, a high-grade flying sword, a high-grade magic whip, and a high-grade flying boat.

Apart from this, there are no other items of value.

However, the storage bag is quite large, with a total of fifty square meters of internal storage space.

This is also the card that the leader of Heshengtang Gang should have.

Looking at so many spiritual stones, Meng Zhou had some guesses in his mind.

Du He should have brought many things with him when he escaped from Nuanyun Valley.

Considering He Shengtang's situation in Nuanyun Valley at that time, most of He Shengtang's wealth should be with him.

However, Heshengtang has only made his fortune not long ago, so his family fortune is not very strong.

When the news of Qinglinfang's large-scale wholesale of foundation-building pills spread throughout Qingxuan Territory, Du He, who had already escaped from Nuanyun Valley at that time, would inevitably come to Qinglinfang no matter where he was.

His cultivation level is already at the peak of the ninth level of Qi training, and he is not yet fifty years old.

Now, with the "help" of many old friends in Nuanyun Valley, there is no reason not to get rid of the burden of He Shengtang.

Except for keeping a few protective magic weapons, he has already replaced all other items with spiritual stones. He is just waiting to take a foundation-building pill to break through!
