"Senior, are you talking about joining your service? I'm sorry, Yuan has no ambitions and likes a free life. I'm afraid I will live up to your good wishes again." Yuan Ming shook his head and declined politely.
"At some time, I don't know how many casual cultivators wanted to join Changchun Guanwumen, but you refused again and again. You are worthy of being a genius foundation-building cultivator like Leizhou. Pu Zhengqing, Gu Qiulong and Xu Changqing all died in your hands.
Not counting Xian She." Zuo Qinghua heard this and said a shocking statement in an understatement.
When Yuan Ming suddenly heard this, he was shocked and immediately regained his composure.
But this fleeting strangeness was already noticed by Zuo Qinghui.
"Although what you are doing is hidden, there are always traces to follow. As long as you investigate carefully and do a little speculation, there will be many clues to be found in Zhenling Sect and Guangli Sanmeng League." Zuo Qinghui said lightly.
Yuan Ming's expression remained unchanged, but his heart sank.
He had been cautious since arriving in Xiaohu City. The only flaws he showed were to pretend to be Xu Changqing's disciple to collect liquidated damages from the Guangli Alliance, and to go to the Zhenling Sect to transform the Winged Bird Egg. Zuo Qingshui mentioned these two as soon as he opened his mouth.
It seems that everything has been checked in this place.
"I don't know what the senior means by this? I did kill Pu Zhengqing, but I have never heard of who Xu Changqing and Gu Qiulong are." Yuan Ming naturally denied it.
If Zuo Qinghui was using a magic weapon to record the conversation between the two, his guilt would be confirmed and confirmed.
However, Yuan Ming was also a little confused as to Zuo Qinghui's purpose of coming. With the other party's cultivation level in the pill formation stage, if he had come to arrest him, he should have taken action long ago. Why were he just chatting with him?
"Now that things have come to an end, little friend, you don't have to pretend to be like this, and you don't have to worry. Zuo Mou has nothing to do with Xu Changqing. If you are willing to pay the price and let me cover up this matter for you, come and try it.
." Zuo Qinghui nodded at the table next to him, moved his lips slightly, and said through a voice transmission. "I wonder what Senior Zuo wants to do here?" Yuan Ming was silent for a while, and replied through a voice transmission.
"I need a sum of spiritual stones recently. You can give me the income of the Xuanhua Lingxiang Shop in the past few years and Pu Zhengqing's bounty. I covered this up for you and put Xu Changqing's death on Pu Zhengqing's head.
"After everything was said, Zuo Qinghui no longer tried to hide it and said directly.
Yuan Ming felt a little relieved after hearing this.
Although the 100,000 spirit stones he got from Shahao have been basically used up, the shop has still made some income in the past few years. Apart from the loss of the refining, there is still some left. If the other party just wants some spirit stones, he can grit his teeth and fight for it.
I can put it together and make a deal. "I have spent a lot of money on my cultivation in the past few years, and the business of the Lingxiang Shop in Wangyue City is average. Give me some time, and I should be able to put together 35,000 souls."
Stone." Yuan Ming said.
"Fifty thousand spirit stones within three days." Zuo Qinghui frowned and said in a tone that could not be refused.
Yuan Ming made a plan in his mind and sent Zuo Qinghui away first and left Wangqie City immediately.
At this moment, two golden lights shot out from the opposite side, but they were Zuo Qinghui's pointed fingers.
Yuan Ming's expression suddenly changed and he flashed back, but it was too late. A golden light hit his right arm and disappeared in a flash.
Yuan Ming hurriedly checked his arm. There were no scars on it, and the golden light seemed to blend into his body.
"Senior Zuo, what do you mean?" Yuan Ming said in a deep voice.
"Why should I be angry, little friend? I just planted a mana mark in your body." Zuo Qinghui retracted his finger and said calmly.
Yuan Ming's face instantly turned ugly. He used his consciousness to quickly explore his right arm and other parts of his body, but found nothing.
"I have already promised to give you the spirit stone, why did Senior Zuo do this?" He knew that Zuo Qinghui was not easy to dismiss, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and asked.
"Yuan Xiaoyou is asking questions knowingly. You and I are now one. I do this to consolidate the relationship between you and me, so that we can get along more easily." Zuo Qinghui laughed.
"Getting along with the queen?" Yuan Ming frowned.
"Of course, you don't think that I am the only one investigating Xu Changqing's death in Changchun Guanzhong, right? Many people are paying attention to this matter and want to hide it for a long time. I need to take care of it. Let's do this. From now on, this incense shop will
You and I will share the proceeds 30/70, and I will take care of the issues at Changchun Temple for you, ensuring that you are safe and sound." Zuo Qinghui said proudly.
Yuan Ming was almost furious. Looking at Zuo Qinghui's old face, he couldn't help but have the urge to punch him.
Xu Changqing was just an ordinary monk in the foundation-building stage of Changchun Temple. It was already a big fanfare to send Zuo Qinghui, a being in the alchemy-building stage, to investigate the cause of his death. How could he send anyone else?
Zuo Qinghui obviously valued the profits from Lingxiang and was greedy for money. Blackmailing him for 50,000 Lingshi was not enough. He also continued to squeeze the future profits of Xuanhua Lingxiang Shop. He was obviously thinking of blackmailing himself in the long term.
"In addition, the two people in your shop are too weak to protect the safety of Lingxiang Shop. I will send two disciples to help you. You don't need to thank me. Helping you is also helping myself." Zuo Qing
Hui stood up and walked around the inner hall with his hands behind his back, as if checking his property. Yuan Ming turned his back to Zuo Qinghui at this moment, and his eyes instantly became extremely stern.
He had retreated again and again, but Zuo Qinghui was pressing forward step by step, and even sent people to monitor him!
Yuan Ming let out a breath, and his eyes quickly became calm, without a trace of ripples.
"Okay, but Senior Zuo, you need to swear by your inner demons not to tell any third person about Xu Changqing." He sighed and said in a compromised tone.
When Zuo Qinghui saw Yuan Ming giving in, he felt secretly proud and immediately raised his hand to swear.
"Now that the agreement has been reached, please wait here, senior, and I'll be back as soon as I can." Yuan Ming said.
"Didn't I give you three days? Why, can you take out the spirit stone now?" Zuo Qinghui asked with his eyebrows.
"Since senior is in urgent need of spiritual stones, I just did some calculations and found that I still have some in my cave. The rest are materials, magic tools and other objects. I will go over and bring them to senior for inspection. If senior wants to exchange them for spiritual stones, I will
You can also find a place to exchange it immediately." Yuan Ming said. "I heard from the boy named Hu Zhao just now that you have been living and practicing in the Wangyue Mountains outside the city. I will go with you. Zuo just happens to have a powerful set in his hand.
The magic circle can be arranged around your cave to strengthen defense." Zuo Qinghui glanced at Yuan Ming noncommittally, stood up and said.
Yuan Ming said nothing and walked outside.
The two quickly left Wangyue City and arrived at Yuan Ming's cave.
Yuan Ming had already stopped the Five Elements Disillusionment Formation and adjusted it to a static state. The door of the cave was revealed, and he directly opened the door and walked in.
Zuo Qinghui dispersed his consciousness and only sensed the faint aura of the formation around the cave, so he walked in with confidence.
"Your cave looks good, but the layout of the magic circle is too crude. Let me help you." Zuo Qinghui said and started walking around the cave.
Yuan Ming did not speak, and walked silently towards the secret cultivation room, passing by the medicine garden.
Zuo Qinghui stopped when he saw the many spiritual herbs in the medicine garden.
He didn't pay attention to other spiritual herbs, but when he saw Fengxuanhua, his eyes suddenly lit up and his attention turned away from Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming immediately mobilized his magic power, injected it into the storage ring, and activated the five command flags of the Five Elements Disillusionment Formation.
Loud roar!
Five colors of red, green, yellow, blue, and gold light suddenly emerged in the cave, and it quickly became intense.
Zuo Qinghui was startled and suddenly looked behind him.
There was nothing there, and Yuan Ming's figure had already shot out, heading straight for the cave's exit.
"Boy, you are seeking death!" Zuo Qinghui was furious and waved his sleeves.
A golden ruler more than two feet long shot out, covered with star-like silver light spots, emitting astonishing fluctuations in spiritual power, far superior to any top-quality magic weapon.
The golden ruler shot towards Yuan Ming's heart like lightning, and was behind him in the blink of an eye.
Magic weapon! Yuan Ming's pupils shrank suddenly, and his hands immediately raised back.
The dragon scale shield and a turtle shell-like black shield flew out and blocked behind him.
In the past five years, Yuan Ming's weapon refining level has improved a lot, and he can occasionally refine high-grade magic weapons. The black shield is his best weapon refining result. Although its defensive power is not as good as the dragon scale shield, it is
Not too different.

Not too different.
However, he also knew that it was impossible to withstand the attack of the magic weapon with just two high-grade magic weapons. He stretched his arms back, and the golden inner armor flew out from his body, facing the golden ruler magic weapon behind him.
Yuan Ming did not stop there. The silver light beads, the green poisonous flying sword, the black dagger he got from Sha Hao, the Hanxing Sword and other magic weapons also flew out of his sleeves, hitting Zuo Qinghui from all directions.
"It's ridiculous for a dragonfly to shake the tree!" Zuo Qinghui showed a serious look on his face and pinched the magic formula in his hand.
The golden ruler magic weapon suddenly differentiated into seven or eight ruler shadows, facing the silver light beads and other objects.
With a soft "click" sound, Chi Ying directly split the silver light bead into two halves, and all his spiritual power was dispersed.
The same goes for other magic weapons, just like hitting a stone with an egg, it will break into pieces when it touches the golden ruler shadow.
The body of the golden ruler magic weapon also hit the two shields, easily passing through and hitting the golden inner armor.
The inner armor was also pierced with a "pop" sound, but this object was a top-quality magic weapon after all, and the speed of the golden ruler magic weapon was slightly slowed down.
Yuan Ming didn't feel the slightest pity for the destruction of all the magic weapons, and slapped his hand on the spirit beast bag on his waist.
A white shadow flashed past, and the figure of the white ape appeared. The pestle in its hand, which had turned into a four-armed state, emitted a bright yellow light and struck hard at the golden ruler magic weapon, causing a fan-shaped yellow ripple.
With a loud "clang" sound, the pestle exploded and turned into countless fragments.
The direction of the golden ruler magic weapon was also slightly deviated, and it was pierced on one of the white ape's arms, easily piercing the armor on its body, and then penetrated its arm.
King Kong's eyes turned red, and he let out a wild roar. His two new ape arms stretched out like lightning, and with afterimages, they struck at the golden ruler magic weapon.
But his two fists turned completely golden, and there was a thunderous roar in the air where they passed, and they hit the golden ruler magic weapon hard.
A louder roar sounded, and the golden ruler magic weapon was finally knocked away. The bones of the white ape's fists shattered, and the tall body flew backwards.
Yuan Ming swayed, flicking his sleeves and emitting a burst of green light, wrapping the white ape around and putting it into the spirit beast bag.
At the same time, the surrounding five-color light suddenly became thicker, and countless flames, giant trees, rocks and other phantoms appeared, drowning everything.
