Soon, the old servant discovered this spiritual stone.
As a person living in Dachang Imperial City, the old servant naturally recognized the spirit stone, and his eyes immediately focused.
This is a spiritual stone, a precious thing that circulates among the immortals in the Taoist realm. One stone is worth one hundred thousand yuan!
And one hundred thousand dollars, even in this prosperous imperial city, is enough for a family of four or five to live comfortably for a year.
For ordinary people, this is already a considerable amount of wealth.
After hesitating for a few seconds, the old servant bent down and picked up the spiritual stone. He held the opalescent spiritual stone in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully, as if he were looking at a beautiful work of art.
A trace of desire gradually appeared in his eyes, but this desire soon dissipated.
Then I heard the old servant murmur: "Why is there a spirit stone here? Could it be that the master came back and accidentally left the spirit stone here?"
The old servant plucked up the courage and said, "Master, are you back? The old slave just picked up a spiritual stone. Maybe it was left behind by the master. The old slave didn't dare to hide it secretly. I also ask the master to show up and take away the spiritual stone."
As he spoke, the old servant raised the spiritual stone in his hand above his head.
After a while, the old servant was exhausted, and the hands raised above his head began to tremble a little.
At this time, the air fluctuated like water, and Li Kuo's figure emerged out of thin air and said to the old servant: "I reward you with this spiritual stone, so just accept it."
The old servant stared at the demon Li Kuo who suddenly appeared in front of him, looked at it carefully for a while, and said: "When I came here, I saw the portrait of the master here. The person in the portrait is not you. You are not the master here. Who are you?"
who?"
"He is also the master of this place. If he gives you the spirit stone, just accept it." A voice said.
This is Xiao Zhi's voice.
Xiao Zhi had just fought a big battle in that fantasy land of Buddhism. While he was resting, he heard some movement here and came over to take a look out of curiosity.
Xiao Zhi appeared in the courtyard as if teleporting, looking at the old servant with a faint smile.
The old servant looked at Xiao Zhi carefully for a while, then bowed to Xiao Zhi and said, "I have met the master."
"Old man, please get up quickly." Xiao Zhi came to the old servant in a flash, helped the old servant up, and said in a gentle voice.
The demon Li Kuo looked at Xiao Zhi and said, "Master, your mansion has been empty for many days and is in need of a housekeeper. I think this old servant can be the housekeeper here."
Xiao Zhi said indifferently: "Okay, I have no objection. Brother Li, you can arrange these trivial matters on your own without telling me."
Xiao Zhi just came over to take a look, and then returned to the master bedroom of the mansion to meditate and practice his [Dharma of the Mighty Heavenly King].
After Xiao Zhi left, Li Kuo asked: "What's your name?"
The old servant hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Excellency, my surname is Wang, and my last name is Kang."
Li Kuo nodded and said: "From now on, you will be the steward of this mansion. The owner here is named Xiao. From now on, you will be Xiaokang. The mansion is empty and you can't do it alone. Butler Xiao, go find ten obedient people."
The servants and ten spirited maids are back."
While speaking, Li Kuo waved his hand, and ten shimmering spiritual stones appeared out of thin air in front of the old servant.
The old servant only felt that what he experienced in this short period of time was like sleepwalking, which made him feel very unreal.
It wasn't until Li Kuo called him again that he came back to his senses, looked at the ten spirit stones floating in front of his eyes, and said cautiously: "That's too much, sir. You gave me too much."
Li Kuo waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, the rest is yours, go ahead."
After the old servant left, Li Kuo floated several feet above the ground and looked at the mansion.
He made his old servant Wang Kang the new butler of this mansion because he admired the old servant's character.
The old servant was asked to go out and look for his servants and maids to come back in preparation for his wife and children to move back in here soon.
In the master bedroom of this mansion, Xiao Zhi was obsessed with practicing and couldn't help himself. In order not to be affected by the noise from the outside world, he even built a soundproof barrier around himself.
It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Xiao Zhi temporarily stopped practicing and came out to get some fresh air.
He found that there were many new young faces in the originally quiet mansion. These were the newly recruited domestic servants and maids from the old servants.
The old servant has now become the housekeeper of this mansion, and does not need to do anything anymore. He sits on a stone bench in the courtyard and watches these people busy.
The invisible demon Li Kuo was also watching these people busy, but no one could see him.
No one can see Xiao Zhi. With Xiao Zhi's current level of cultivation, even if he does not use the [divine concealment technique], there are many ways to prevent ordinary people from seeing him.
Seeing Xiao Zhi coming out, Li Kuo sent a message to Xiao Zhi through his mind: "Master, I want to tidy up this mansion, do you mind?"
Xiao Zhi shook his head and said with a faint smile: "Just do it according to your wishes. When the time comes, Snow Lady Li Teng and others will come over, and they will be able to live more comfortably."
In fact, he had already seen through Li Kuo's little thoughts.
He understood this very well. After all, as a husband and a father, he always hopes that his wife and children will live a better life.
If it were him, he would do the same.
With Li Kuo's current strength, this can be considered very frugal and simple.
Consider some Nascent Soul cultivators who like extravagance and enjoyment. They often live in luxurious palaces, have tens of thousands of servants, and are accompanied by countless attendants when traveling. They are like emperors on earth. There are many Nascent Soul cultivators like this in this world.
.
Xiao Zhi would not do such extravagant and enjoyable things, but if the aboriginal monks in this world did this, he would not say anything.
After ventilating outside, Xiao Zhi returned to the master bedroom of the mansion and continued to practice and visualize his [Dharma Appearance of the Mighty Heavenly King].
After a slight trance, Xiao Zhi found himself in the illusion of the Buddhist country again.
In the sky, a giant Buddha sits on the clouds, and the Buddha's light illuminates the world.
Xiao Zhi raised his head and looked up at the giant Buddha in the sky. In an instant, he completed the transformation and turned into a terrifying statue with three heads and eight arms!
A situation that was different from before occurred. The monks and believers around Xiao Zhi did not turn into walking monsters and black fog monsters and pounce on him, but directly disintegrated into clouds of black mist and disappeared with the wind.
.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhi felt wary and a little suspicious.
What's going on?
While he was doubting, the auspicious clouds in the sky turned into thick lead clouds at a speed visible to the naked eye. One of the lead clouds quickly collapsed inward and turned into an indifferent monk wearing black monk robes. It was that
The evil monk!
This time, neither the black fog monster nor the earth-level monster appeared, nor did the flying-level monster appear. However, the evil monk appeared directly at the beginning.
The evil monk stood high in the sky, looking down at Xiao Zhi below.
Xiao Zhi also looked up at the evil monk, and he had a guess in his mind.
It should be that after clearing the waves of flying monsters many times in a row and seeing the evil monk, you can skip the tedious process of fighting the mobs in the future and jump directly to the small wave SS of the evil monk.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for him.
Previously, he had to kill waves of flying monsters in this illusion of the Buddhist kingdom, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. When he finally saw the evil monk, most of his energy and strength had been consumed.
And now, right after the start, when he was at his peak, he could see this evil monk.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhi, who transformed into the Dharma Appearance of the Mighty Heavenly King, had a smile on his three heads that became even brighter.
The next second, Xiao Zhi's figure soared into the sky and rushed towards the evil monk standing high in the sky.
The evil monk instantly grew three heads and rushed towards Xiao Zhi with a strange figure!
When the distance between them was shortened to within a hundred feet, Xiao Zhi aimed his angry look at the evil monk, made a Vajra-like glaring look, and let out a thundering roar!
Almost at the same time, the evil monk also launched an angry attack at Xiao Zhi!
Both bodies trembled, and then the expressions on their faces became distorted with anger. Then almost at the same time, they broke away from the anger, turned their heads, and pointed their smiling faces at each other.
, letting out bursts of erratic and weird laughter.
When the angry faces collided, Xiao Zhi and the evil monk were almost evenly matched.
When the smiling faces collided, Xiao Zhi was obviously inferior to the evil monk. His laughter was gradually suppressed by the other party, and the expression on Xiao Zhi's smiling face gradually became distorted.
Then, Xiao Zhi fell into a trance. The trance only lasted for a moment. The evil monk approached like a ghost and slashed at Xiao Zhi's neck with the black sword in his hand!
Xiao Zhi, who had fought against this evil monk many times, had already taken precautions against this and immediately held the black alms bowl across his chest!
The black alms bowl surged in size, like a shield, blocking the evil monk's assassination attempt.
Then, Xiao Zhi smashed out the big black seal in his hand with a bang, and poured the liquid from the purifying bottle towards himself.
His movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water, all in one go!
The three-headed evil monk missed a single hit and retreated like a ghost. However, he was suppressed by the invisible force field of the black seal, and his speed was drastically reduced!
The next moment, another black bottle of liquid fell on the three-headed evil monk, further weakening his strength.
"Roar!"
"Roar!!"
The roars appeared almost at the same time, and both bodies trembled, and then they escaped from the anger almost at the same time.
The moment he regained his senses, Xiao came out with swords and pestles, attacking and killing the evil monk who had been weakened by both the suppressive pressure field and the purifying bottle liquid.
The evil monk was defeated and was severely injured immediately, with broken bones and tendons.
After severely injuring the evil monk, Xiao Zhi did not kill him, but retreated backwards, widening the distance between them again.
'By severely injuring you, it will become more difficult for you to kill me. In this way, my error tolerance rate will naturally become higher when visualizing, and I can concentrate more on visualizing your smiling face.
I have a sad face." Xiao Zhi thought to himself.
Time passed, and in the world of sentient beings, Xiao Zhi, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes and his face looked a little pale.
Although his face was pale, Xiao Zhi was in a good mood. This time he entered the Buddhist dreamland to practice, and the time he endured in the hands of the evil monk was longer than any previous time, and he gained a lot.
While Xiao Zhi was resting, his heart moved slightly. The jade token belonging to him appeared out of thin air in front of him, emitting a faint light, and a cold voice came from it: "Friend Taoist Xiao, An Mo has already settled the matter."
Everything has been explained."
This is the voice of Venerable Kui.
Xiao Zhidao: "What did he explain?"
The cold voice belonging to Venerable Kui said: "According to An Mo's explanation, he was not a traitor who surrendered to the Xuanming Kingdom, but was driven by others. The person who drove him was none other than Tai Xuzi! It was Tai Xuzi who gave him that
I asked him to assassinate you with the national-protecting divine sword of Xuanming Kingdom, and gave him a promise that once he succeeds in assassinating you, he will provide him with a large number of heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and miraculous elixirs to help him advance to the middle stage of Nascent Soul!"
"Is this Tai Xuzi again..." Xiao Zhi murmured.
He was not too surprised by what Venerable Kui said, because he had already thought of this possibility.
Xiao Zhi thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "This Tai Xuzi can even get something as precious as the Divine Sword of the Protector of the Country. It seems that the connection between him and the Xuanming Kingdom is deeper than we imagined."
Duo Duo, Fellow Daoist Kui, aren't you also responsible for interrogating Tai Xuzi's soul? How's the interrogation going?"
The cold voice belonging to Venerable Kui was silent for a moment, and said: "Tai Xuzi's cultivation realm is much higher than mine, and his soul has obviously been strengthened. He is still persisting in my endless ghost realm. I
Nothing can be done to him for the time being, and nothing can be found from interrogating him."
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly. After thinking for a while, he suggested to Venerable Kui: "You can ignore Tai Xuzi for now and start with his captured disciples and confidants. Tai Xuzi is secretly colluding with Xuanming Kingdom. He
It’s impossible for those close disciples who are unaware of this.”
"Okay, I will try." The cold voice belonging to Venerable Kui said: "How do you think we should deal with this Anmo, fellow Daoist Xiao?"
"Fellow Daoist Kui, just watch and deal with it," Xiao Zhi said nonchalantly.
The glimmer of light on the jade identity plate became dim again.
Xiao Zhi collected the jade identity card and sat cross-legged to rest while thinking about something.
Tai Xuzi wanted to kill him. He didn't think much about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, this must be inseparable from the Xuanming Kingdom.
So, why did Tai Xuzi obey the orders of Xuanming Kingdom and spare no effort to help Xuanming Kingdom kill me?
In other words, what benefits can Tai Xuzi get from Xuanming Kingdom?
At Tai Xuzi's level, he can't appreciate ordinary benefits, but the benefits that he can appreciate must be extraordinary!
It depends on whether Venerable Kui can get any useful information from interrogating Taixuzi’s captured disciples and confidants...
Xiao Zhi thought of his road to becoming a god again.
Now, his soul has transcended the world and has become a quasi-god-level strongman. He is only one step away from becoming a god and overcoming the tribulation.
However, Xiao Zhi was a little confused about this last step on the road to becoming a god.
In this world of living beings, when warrior monks overcome tribulations, they have two essential things. One is the Heavenly Tribulation Formation and the other is Thunder Fire Pill. Each of these two things can increase the success rate of warrior monks by 10%.
about!
From the foundation-level Heavenly Tribulation Formation and Thunder Fire Pill needed by the innate warriors to overcome one day of tribulation, to the Nascent Soul-level Heavenly Tribulation Formation and Thunder Fire Pill required by the Golden Pill monks to overcome three or three days of tribulation, in this world
All can be purchased.
However, Xiao Zhi had never even heard of the god-level Heavenly Tribulation Formation and Thunder Fire Pill, let alone bought them!
