There is a large area of small courtyards at the foot of Black Mountain. The spiritual energy in these small courtyards is thin, and there are no spiritual fields in them. Only the lowest level of Black Mountain monks will hang out in these small courtyards.
For these small courtyards, the annual rent is only one spirit stone, and the price is very low, so you can enjoy the protection provided by Ancestor Liang and live safely and comfortably for a year.
A large number of monks who have no hope of building a foundation will move down from the mountains and rent in these small courtyards. They may either linger and live out the rest of their lives, or they may marry wives and have children at the foot of the mountain, placing their hopes on the next generation.
The monks in these small courtyards are often a mixed bag of good and bad, and some of the most advanced ones are those who have reached the ninth level of Qi training. These people are often experienced and sophisticated, and are very difficult to deal with.
Those with low cultivation level can only reach the first or second level of Qi training, and they have to run around for a living every day, without a day to spare.
Xu Xingyuan is just a veteran who lives at the foot of the mountain.
This man looks young, but is actually over sixty years old. Because he is good at the magic of harvesting yin and replenishing yang, he looks like a young man, but occasionally, you can see some fatigue from his appearance.
This man's spiritual qualifications are not good. Although he is over sixty years old, his cultivation level is not as good as Zhang Zhixuan's. He is only around the seventh level of Qi training.
It was dark. Xu Xingyuan was sitting in the practice room. He looked at Ma Laodao who hurriedly entered the door and said, "What do the two monks Yang and Lu say? Are you willing to sign a blood oath and join our group of heroes?"
"Yang Yuchao is not very young and still wants to pursue the great truth, so his attitude is a bit evasive.
Lu Sanzhong is old and seems to be willing to fight for his son, and has already agreed to sign a blood oath to join the association."
Xu Xingyuan's expression changed and he said: "Yang Yuchao cannot stay. This person must be dealt with as soon as possible. Send someone to keep an eye on him. Once he leaves Montenegro, kill him immediately. Don't make the news spread."
Ma Laodao said helplessly: "You know, I just came back from Yang Yuchao, and we have already alerted the enemy. I am afraid that this person has been a little wary recently. For safety reasons, it is very likely that he will not leave Montenegro in the near future.
Ancestor Liang has stipulated that fighting is prohibited on the Black Mountain. Anyone who dares to kill people on the mountain will be slapped in the face of Ancestor Liang. In the past two hundred years, no one has dared to do this."
After hearing what Ma Laodao said, Xu Xingyuan also said with a headache: "I'm afraid that Yang Yuchao will talk nonsense and spread our situation everywhere. Especially the information about Xuan You Cao and You Huan Dan, once it is revealed to the big shops in the city,
I know, I'm afraid I'll pursue you and cause big trouble."
"No, Yang Yuchao has been in Montenegro for more than ten years. Since I have given him the information, he knows that there are foundation-building monks behind our group of heroes. If he wants to live a few more days, he will not talk nonsense."
Xu Xingyuan frowned and said: "We still need to send someone to keep an eye on him to see who he has been in contact with recently. Once this person doesn't know how to advance or retreat, we should quickly find a way to kill him.
The six people participating in the exchange meeting today, except Yang Yuchao and Zhou Boyong, the rest are our people, see if you can catch Zhou Boyong and let him join the meeting."
Ma Laodao waved his hand and said: "Impossible. Zhou Boyong has a bright future. He is also an alchemist. He can earn spiritual stones by sitting in the market every day. It is impossible to join an organization with unknown origins, so I am planning to contact him finally.
."
Xu Xingyuan said: "We have put out bait in two exchange meetings, hoping to catch a casual alchemist.
It's a pity that Zhou Boyong ate all the bait but didn't take the hook, otherwise we would just use force and force him to sign a blood oath to join the club."
Ma Laodao said confidently: "The bait will continue to be laid, or even more, to arouse Zhou Boyong's greed and seduce him to leave Montenegro.
Once he leaves Montenegro, he is not at our mercy."
Xu Xingyuan nodded and said: "Zhou Boyong seems to be a monk in the late stage of Qi training, and his cultivation is quite extraordinary. Even if this person goes down the mountain, we must be careful to avoid making mistakes and stealing the chicken but losing the rice."
Ma Laodao didn't even raise his head and said nonchalantly: "He is an alchemist at a young age, how much experience can he have.
Once this person comes down from the mountain, he will fall into our hands. By then our Heroes Association will also have our own alchemist, and even you and me will be able to take spiritual pills to increase our cultivation in the future."
Although Ma Laodao has white hair, he is younger than Xu Xingyuan. He has a higher level of cultivation and has already practiced Qi at the eighth level. He has been around Black Mountain for more than thirty years and has experience in countless monks fighting, so he
Don't take Zhang Zhixuan seriously.
Xu Xingyuan thought for a while and said: "Zhou Boyong has good cultivation at a young age and is also proficient in alchemy. He also seems to have a good understanding of the knowledge of planting elixirs.
The origin of this person is also somewhat unclear. It seems that a young man like this has a teacher, so he may not be a real casual cultivator.
Otherwise, we should not provoke this person for the time being and observe him for a while."
"You are too cautious. Ever since we discovered Han Jiao Pond and found the Youhuan Dan and Xuanyou Grass, we have been secretly looking for an alchemist for almost a year. Among the alchemists on the Black Mountain, except for Zhou Boyong who suddenly appeared, the rest
They are all monks who have backers.
If you don't find Zhou Boyong, you can only find other people, which will make it easier to provoke the foundation-building monks and cause trouble for Boss Guo." Ma Laodao said reluctantly.
Xu Xingyuan said: "Boss Guo is too cautious. He has established a foundation and can hire an alchemist to make alchemy in Heishanfang City.
Why do you need to be so sneaky, go around asking people to sign blood oaths, and control the alchemy masters to make elixirs for him? Once Patriarch Liang notices this kind of thing, it will probably not end well."
Ma Laodao continued: "A brand new second-level high-grade elixir brings very considerable benefits. It is impossible to hire an alchemist to make an elixir. It is impossible to keep the elixir recipe secret. I am afraid that Boss Guo also has this concern and will control it."
Take some time to practice elixirs."
Xu Xingyuan said: "I still have this opinion. We should continue to observe Zhou Boyong to see if there are any experts behind him, so as not to leave any hidden dangers."
"I'll listen to you for the time being, and observe for a while. If there are no abnormalities, we will find a way to lure him down the mountain, control him, and make him sign a blood oath to refine elixirs for us."
While Xu Xingyuan and the two were plotting secretly, Zhang Zhixuan returned to his cave full of worries.
He told Qingchan about the exchange meeting, and then said to himself: "It seems that there may be some conspiracy behind this exchange meeting.
I am afraid that the relationship between Ma Laodao and Xu Xingyuan also has some secrets.
Ma Laodao set the bait twice in a row, and the purpose behind it was also towards me.
Should I continue to fight with them?"
Qing Chan held Zhang Zhixuan's hand with a worried look on his face and shook his head gently. Although she was speechless, her meaning was clearly expressed.
