Chapter 38 Two-year retreat
In Heheyuan, after patient comfort, Zhao Sheng sent Zhao Xiaoqi who came to inquire about the news.
After seeing off Zhao Xiaoqi, he shook his head with a wry smile on his face, and couldn't help but sigh, "This mastermind behind the scenes has taken great pains to even use the means of spreading rumors among mortals. It seems that he will not give up until he has to torment the Zhao family."
By this time, Zhao Sheng had already vaguely guessed who was manipulating all this behind the scenes. It was probably Wei Cheng, the old fox.
Only he will do whatever he wants to achieve his goal.
The reason why Wei Cheng and I wanted to force the Zhao family to death was not only targeting the Zhao family's immortal cultivators, but more importantly, the Zhao family's 50,000 mortal relatives.
Don’t think that mortal relatives are not important to a family of immortal cultivation.
On the contrary, it is the most important foundation of any immortal cultivation family.
Taking the Zhao family as an example, among the 31 people in the Zhao family, there are more than ten people from secular families.
When the Wei family annexes 50,000 relatives of the Zhao family, the number of new immortal cultivators in their family will inevitably increase greatly.
In the world of immortal cultivation, a considerable number of immortal cultivation families achieve a leap in family strength by constantly assimilating mortal relatives of other families.
Zhao Sheng also guessed that maybe it was not only him who guessed it, but even the smart elders of the family knew it.
But so what!
Wei Cheng's move was obviously a fearless act, and the conspiracy he used was even more like an open conspiracy.
Who made the Zhao family reveal such a big flaw in a bad way?
Zhao Sheng had no good idea about this, so he could only deal with it according to his moves.
The key to breaking the situation is whether the two clan elders can successfully build the foundation.
Once done, everyone has a bright future.
If you fail...If you fail, you can only make plans!
...
The sun is scorching and the fire is coming in July, and two more months have passed in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Zhao Sheng was concentrating on drawing the invisible talisman in the talisman making room.
After a moment, as the surface of the talisman paper became bright, the complex and gorgeous talisman flashed and disappeared, and an invisible talisman suddenly took shape.
Zhao Chongwei, who was standing beside him, saw that Zhao Sheng had succeeded again, and couldn't help but throw down the talisman pen in dismay and complained to Zhao Sheng: "Chonghe, why is the invisible talisman so difficult! I have failed more than ten times today."
When Zhao Sheng heard this, he walked to her side, picked up a ruined talisman from the table, looked at it for a while, and said, "Xiaowei, your brushwork and talismans are correct, and your spiritual orifices are all complete. The reason for failures is that the spiritual power distribution between the talisman lines is uneven, which leads to the poor connection of nodes."
Zhao Chongwei took the talisman and looked at it for a while, and said frustratedly: "I have tried my best to control it, but the invisibility talisman is too complicated. I spend all my energy on its talisman and spiritual orifices, and I really don't care about other places. Not everyone is as perverted as you!"
Zhao Sheng was speechless, it was all my fault!
Finally, he had to comfort him: "Don't hurry, take your time. Practice makes perfect. With your current progress, it will be done at most in three months."
Zhao Chongwei couldn't help rolling her eyes and said disgusted: "Are you laughing at me for being stupid?"
Zhao Sheng froze when he heard this, and quickly apologized: "Grandma, you are a genius girl in the family. You are already at the third level of Qi refining at only seventeen years old. I am a rookie at the second level of Qi refining, how dare I laugh at you?"
Hearing him say this, Zhao Chongwei felt a little depressed, but she still sighed: "What's the use of refining Qi third level? It can't help the family at all. I don't know when the clan elders will come out of seclusion?"
Zhao Sheng's expression was slightly deeper, and he comforted her: "Don't worry, the two clan elders will definitely succeed!"
After hearing this, Zhao Chongwei clasped her hands together, lowered her head and closed her eyes, and prayed devoutly: "Our ancestors bless our Zhao family with another foundation-building monk!"
After saying that, she elbowed Zhao Sheng and urged: "Chonghe, pray with me."
Zhao Sheng was speechless.
Who says that cultivators are not superstitious? In fact, they are always superstitious.
Just like Zhao Keru, the alchemist of the Zhao family, he always bathes and changes clothes, burns incense and prays before turning on the furnace to refine the alchemy, and his voice is very grand.
Not only him, but most of the weapon refiners and alchemists in the world of immortal cultivation have similar worship habits. Some worship the world, some worship the sages of my Tao, and some worship their ancestors.
Seeing that Zhao Sheng was not moving, Zhao Chongwei urged again: "Hurry up!"
Zhao Sheng touched his nose and had to deal with it and said a few words of blessing from his ancestors.
Because of his perfunctory attitude, Zhao Chongwei complained to him very much.
It was not until Zhao Sheng "turned back to justice" that he let him go.
By the way, I beg myself to bless my descendants, and there is no one else!
Facts have proved that asking our ancestors for blessings is useless at all.
Two days later, a bolt from the blue made the Zhao family panic.
Zhao Kingang failed to build the foundation!
Not only did it fail, but it even broke many places in the meridians, and its realm regressed back to the early stage of the ninth level of Qi refining.
In just half an hour, Zhao Chonghe, as the only Chong generation, sat at the round table with seven Zhao elders who held real power.
At this time, the atmosphere in Tongxin Hall was heavier than two months ago.
There is no doubt that Zhao Jingang's failure was a serious blow to the Zhao family, so serious that it shook everyone's confidence.
At this emergency meeting, Zhao Sheng did not speak out, and there was nothing to say.
Failure means failure, it is not the sky falling.
The other elders of the Zhao family acted very rationally this time. After a brief depression, they immediately discussed the aftermath.
To put it simply, block news from the outside, try to downplay the color of failure internally, make every effort to calm people's hearts, and crack down on any rumors.
After leaving Tongxin Hall, Zhao Sheng immediately went to Shangong Hall, and prepaid ten years of spiritual salary as the head of the family, and exchanged all the flying swords, Xuanlan Crystals and other treasures in the storage bag into fasting pills and spiritual Yuan pills.
Then, he plunged into the water vein cultivation room and began a long retreat practice.
He is going to prepare for the retreat.
If Zhao Jinding fails too.
Zhao Sheng decided to wait until he was promoted to the third level of Qi Refining and enter Tianzhu Mountain in advance.
Time passes by quickly, and two years pass by in a flash.
On that day, Zhao Sheng, who had a messy hair and beard, finally walked out of the training room.
At this time, no one knew that he had successfully advanced to the third level of Qi Refining.
After leaving the customs, he floated to the surface. Zhao Sheng boarded a wooden boat and ordered the boatman to sail to the shore of Longli Lake.
Halfway through the journey, he was shocked to find that the ships on Longli Lake were more than 60% more than two years ago.
From a three-meter-long wooden boat to a wide-bottomed boat of more than ten or twenty meters, there are a total of more than a hundred.
There are also two medium-sized dragon-headed magic boats that are more than thirty meters long and seven or eight meters tall, with countless runes flashing on the surface of the hull, galloping rapidly on the lake.
From time to time, people sprinkled fishing nets with inspiration into the water.
This busy scene seems to symbolize the prosperity and prosperity of the Zhao family.
However, when Zhao Sheng saw this scene, he was not only not happy, but instead frowned.
Standing on the bow of the boat, Zhao Sheng murmured to himself: "The situation is not good!"
After getting ashore, Zhao Sheng quickly learned something very bad from the tribe's people.
Chapter completed!
