Chapter 268: Lots of Talents, Straight Hook Fishing (please vote for me)
"Qihuangzi?"
Everyone searched their memories, made eye contact with each other, and confirmed that they had never heard of such a number one person.
And many monks even had worried looks on their faces.
Meng Zhou's eyes swept over Li Wenchang, Jiao Hong, Xu Ze, Luo Xu and others, and asked: "What are you worried about?"
Li Wenchang said:
"President, are you not a monk from Qingxuan Domain?"
Meng Zhou nodded and said: "Although I have lived in the Qingxuan Domain for a long time, in recent years I have been active in the other four domains."
Li Wenchang and others are not surprised by this.
Among the five domains, in addition to the Qingxuan Sect, the Alchemy Sect and other five sects, there are also many secret forces and secret families. Although they are not well-known, none of them are weak, and they all have a long heritage.
As early as the beginning, everyone had already made speculations.
Now, it's just been completely confirmed.
Li Wenchang nodded, his face still worried, and said frankly: "This is why we are worried."
He paused for a moment before continuing:
"President, the whole association is convinced by you.
But in this Qingxuan Domain, the one who can really take charge is Qingxuan Sect.
Although the young Xuanzong had relaxed many restrictions in these years, more and more monks benefited from this, stood out, and achieved elixir formation.
But your situation obviously does not fall into this category.
We are worried that after the news about you becoming the president of the association spreads, Qingxuan Sect will take some actions against you, or even against the entire association."
Meng Zhou nodded, smiled slightly and said, "What do you think is the purpose of my coming out this time?"
Li Wenchang and others were slightly stunned, wondering how the president turned the topic in this direction.
"So, you don't have to worry about the Qingxuan Sect issue, I will handle it myself."
Meng Zhou also added in his mind, I'm not afraid of their reaction, I'm just afraid that they won't react.
Meng Zhou looked around at everyone.
"Although I played a small role in the birth and early development of the association, I have no thoughts about the association itself."
Having said this, he put his hands behind his back, a look of pride in his eyes.
"For me, as long as I think about it, power and wealth are within easy reach."
When Li Wenchang and others heard this, they nodded one after another. Deep down in their hearts, they were convinced of this.
If someone else had said this, they might still have doubts in their hearts, but when these words came from the mouth of the old man who called himself "Qi Huangzi", they couldn't help but be unconvinced.
The more high-level professionals are, the more they can realize how terrifying the two shots that the old-timer made so lightly were.
That was powerful beyond their knowledge.
"This time I came out to take up the position of president, and my purpose is very simple."
As he said that, he looked around at everyone again and stayed on Li Wenchang for a moment longer.
"I just told fellow Taoist Li that if he is interested in my alchemy methods, I can teach him.
Not just him, but you too."
His eyes swept over Jiao Hong, Xu Ze, Luo Xu and others.
"And you."
Meng Zhou's eyes swept over the professionals from other branches, including beast masters, puppet masters, spiritual planters, spiritual cooks, etc.
"As long as you want to learn, you can learn new things from me."
Finally, Meng Zhou looked beyond the people in the hall and looked into the distance, as if all the professionals in the Professionals Association were included in his field of vision.
"Preaching and teaching, this is the purpose of my coming out this time."
…
After a long time, the atmosphere in the palace returned to normal again.
Meng Zhou sat in the center of the crowd, and everyone else sat around him respectfully.
Everyone was quiet, focusing all their thoughts on a small jade slip in their hands. From time to time, expressions of confusion, enlightenment, and intoxication appeared on their faces.
The first person to wake up was Gu Ruiming.
Yes, as a third-level low-grade pharmacist, Gu Ruiming was also at this gathering.
However, "Ge Ping" had already told him that he should be responsible for the whole process and not get ahead of himself casually.
The reason why he woke up first was because he found that many of the contents in the jade slips were extremely familiar and had already been used by him skillfully in practice.
Meng Zhou borrowed the help of "Ge Ping" many times to spread some "secret methods" to all pharmacists through the pharmacist branch.
The benefits to the growth of pharmacists are visible to the naked eye.
Before he took office as the president of the Pharmacist Branch, there were not many second-level pharmacists in the Pharmacist Branch. There were two upper-level pharmacists, three middle-level pharmacists, and ten lower-level pharmacists, for a total of only fifteen.
Nowadays, the number of second-level high-level pharmacists has increased to five, the number of second-level middle-level pharmacists has reached eight, and the number of low-level pharmacists has reached 18. The total number of second-level pharmacists has reached thirty-one, which has more than doubled.
The changes in the first-level pharmacists are even more obvious. The top-level pharmacists have been promoted from the original thirteen to twenty-five, the middle-level pharmacists have been promoted from fifteen to thirty-two, and the low-level pharmacists have been promoted from forty to ninety-five.
The total number of first-level pharmacists has increased from 68 before he took office to 152 now.
This is certainly affected by the changes in the general trend. A wave of beasts that covers the entire Qingxuan Domain and has not yet subsided has made all monks and all forces have a deeper understanding of the importance of pharmacists.
More and more monks choose to study as a pharmacist concurrently.
But the "secret method" he has shared many times has continuously lowered the threshold for pharmacists to get started and improve, which is also a very important factor.
But those "secret methods" are ultimately incomplete, just practical and unsystematic "bits and pieces".
With the help of these "secret methods", pharmacists can grow and progress faster, but at the theoretical level, their understanding of pharmacists has not improved at all and remains at the original level.
Moreover, as you practice more "secret techniques", more and more confusion will accumulate in your heart.
As a third-level pharmacist, Gu Ruiming stood in a higher position, and the confusion accumulated in his heart became stronger.
Now, many of the confusions that had accumulated in his heart for a long time were solved one by one through the jade slip in his hand, and a new "vision" was presented in his heart.
In the Jade Slips, Meng Zhou started from scratch and started from the theoretical level to comprehensively construct the framework system of "Yakushi Yiyi", and elaborated on its specific development of the first and second levels.
From the outside, the general outline of a "pharmacist" is still there, but if you look closely at its core, you will find that it is actually very different from the pharmacists of the past.
Gu Ruiming woke up with excitement in his eyes. He first looked at the Ice Heart Blood Lotus clone "Ge Ping", then at "Qihuangzi" Meng Zhou, and finally his eyes fell on the more familiar "Ge Ping"
On the body.
"President...are the secret techniques you gave us before related to the inheritance in this jade slip?"
He habitually addressed himself as president, but as soon as he said it, he suddenly felt something was wrong. One of the two masters and apprentices was the president of the association, and the other was the president of the branch. However, at this moment, he had no intention of worrying about this, and asked what was most important to him.
The problem.
"Ge Ping" smiled and nodded.
"You can think of those 'secret techniques' as the specific practice of the inheritance in your hands.
If you have the ability to understand the jade slip in your hand, you can also develop similar 'secret techniques' yourself, and you can have as many as you want."
At this moment, after Gu Ruiming, another monk woke up from his addiction.
This person's name is Lu Yuanzhi, and he is one of the three third-level alchemists in the alchemist branch. His alchemy skills are only lower than Li Wenchang's.
And he also has another identity, he is also a pharmacist. Although his attainments as a pharmacist are slightly lower than his own attainments as an alchemist, he has also reached the third-level low-grade level.
To be more precise, apart from the cheater "Ge Ping", he is the first Qingxuan Domain casual cultivator to break through and become a third-level pharmacist.
Gu Ruiming became a third-level pharmacist several years later than him.
While maintaining continuous progress in spiritual practice, he is also involved in both realms and has achieved extremely high achievements. This shows how high his talent is.
Although he has a name in the Pharmacist Branch, more often than not, he still considers himself the vice-president of the Alchemist Branch.
Compared with his identity as a pharmacist, he values his identity as an alchemist more.
The reason why he woke up the second time was because he had also studied the "pharmacist secrets" shared by "Ge Ping".
Although due to distraction, his understanding in this aspect is not as deep as Gu Ruiming's.
But with his own talent, he has gained a lot of insights.
At this moment, he woke up after Gu Ruiming, first bowed slightly to greet "Ge Ping", and then looked at Meng Zhou.
"President, can you share with me the jade slips passed down by you and fellow Taoist Gu?"
When Gu Ruiming heard this, he immediately looked unhappy and secretly scolded this man for being greedy.
They were both third-level pharmacists, but the other person achieved success before him, but Gu Ruiming just couldn't like Lu Yuanzhi. Now that he heard the other person's request, he became even more dissatisfied.
Everyone only got one inheritance jade slip. Just because you have two talents, can you ask for it so calmly?
Meng Zhou did not have these emotions, but asked curiously: "What did you see?"
Because of his status as the vice president of alchemy, the inheritance jade slip that Meng Zhou gave to Lu Yuanzhi was related to the alchemy master.
The inheritance jade slips in the hands of everyone present are all similar. They start from scratch, start from the theoretical level, reconstruct their professions, and expand on their performance at the first and second levels in detail.
It is also because the professions in the association are limited, which limits his performance.
Otherwise, even if there are more new professions, Meng Zhou is confident that he can still easily place them into a new framework.
Lu Yuanzhi nodded and said, "I don't know if it's my misunderstanding, but I saw traces of the 'Medicine Master's Secret Technique' in this brand new alchemist's inheritance."
Meng Zhou nodded and said: "That's not an illusion, your feeling is right."
In his newly constructed system that covers all professions, although it has different performances in different professions, its core ideas are completely the same.
Simplify, quantify, standardize, and generalize.
It is impossible for him to establish one set of standards in the system of alchemists, and then establish another set of standards in the system of weapon refiners and pharmacists.
This is also the reason why Lu Yuanzhi, who has two professions, can see traces of the "alchemist's secret method" from the jade slips passed down by the alchemist.
Monks who have reached the third level of professional level have all understood to some extent that different professions have "different paths to the same destination". The further you go, the closer you will get.
But under the new system built by Meng Zhou that covers all professions, this point is presented more clearly and intuitively.
While Meng Zhou was talking to Lu Yuanzhi, other monks were waking up one after another.
They all listened with their ears perked up to the conversation between the two.
Meng Zhou glanced around the others before asking:
"Let's do a survey. Which of you are like Lu Yuanzhi who can do both things?"
All eighteen people, including Gu Ruiming, raised their hands.
"What about those who have both reached the third level?"
Including Gu Ruiming, nine people lowered their hands, but nine people, including Li Wenchang and Lu Yuanzhi, raised their hands high.
"What about the one who has three jobs?"
Four more people lowered their hands, and only five people were still holding their hands high, including Li Wenchang and Lu Yuanzhi.
"Where are they all reaching the third level?"
This time, four people, including Li Wenchang and Lu Yuanzhi, lowered their hands, but there was a monk named Zhang Yanzhi who raised his hands high.
To be honest, this man and Meng Zhou are quite "connected".
Because he is the president of the spiritual planter branch and a third-level low-level spiritual planter.
It was also him who kicked Bai Zhi from the position of president of the spiritual plant masters.
However, Meng Zhou would not have any bad feelings towards him because of this. Instead, he asked out of curiosity:
"Besides the spiritual planter, which two other disciplines have you reached the third level?"
Zhang Yan questioned: "Spiritual baker and pharmacist."
"Ge Ping" interrupted in surprise at the right time: "Are you still a third-level pharmacist?"
"Well, I just broke through not long ago... A long time ago, I worked hard on the Medicine Master, and I made rapid progress. However, after the second-level mid-level, I stagnated, and I couldn't make any progress, so I just changed it.
Tossed aside.”
Zhang Yanzhi said, looking at "Ge Ping" with gratitude and said:
"I've been able to break through the barriers recently, thanks to the 'Medicine Master's Secret Techniques' you shared with me, fellow Taoist, which gave me new inspiration."
Meng Zhou nodded slightly, the pharmacist and the spiritual planter could be combined into a "medicine spiritual master".
The two huge contributions of the new professional system he built are "lowering the threshold" and "breaking down the barriers between different professions", not to mention the "extremely close" relationship between spiritual planters and pharmacists.
As a third-level spiritual planter, Zhang Yanzhi used those "pharmacist secrets" to break through to the third-level pharmacist level in a short period of time, which is reasonable.
After understanding the situation, Meng Zhou sighed:
"We are really full of talented people here."
Also, being able to stand out in such an environment and become a third-level professional is not only a talent, but also a top talent.
"I think many of you, like Lu Yuanzhi, hope to get more inherited jade slips."
A group of monks looked at him eagerly, like a group of children waiting to be fed.
"I share these inheritances just to benefit more professionals, and I will not add unnecessary restrictions.
You can share and communicate with each other about these inheritances, and I will prepare another copy of each inheritance jade slip later and place it in this hall, so you can read and record it at will."
Everyone was delighted.
Saying that, Meng Zhou paused and spoke slowly again:
"I hope you can understand that you can view these precious inheritances so easily, not because these inheritances are cheap, but because you are a member of the association.
You can read these inheritances that I have provided at will, and spread the inheritance that is suitable for your respective branches to the lower levels."
"It can only be spread within the association!"
"Here, let me make it clear to everyone that the inheritance you see today is strictly prohibited from being spread outside the association in any form by anyone -"
As he spoke, Meng Zhou glanced at the crowd.
"Can you do it?"
Everyone was awe-inspiring and respectfully obeyed the order.
Jiao Hong was the first to stand up, stretched out his hand to touch his heart, and solemnly swore:
"I, Jiao Hong, hereby swear by my Taoist heart that I will not spread the inheritance I have gained today in any form. If I violate it, my body and soul will be destroyed!"
Jiao Hong acted so decisively that other monks looked at him with awe.
The higher your cultivation level, the more you can feel the importance of the soul.
The more I can't stand the feeling of my soul being forcibly restrained, the more I reject the method of making an oath to the Taoist heart.
This is equivalent to hanging a sword above your head at all times. If you are not careful, the sharp edge will fall.
They were still thinking about whether there was a way to win the trust of the president without making a Taoist oath, but no one expected that Jiao Hong would act so decisively.
At this moment, Li Wenchang followed closely and began to solemnly make a vow of Taoism.
Seeing this situation, all the cultivators sighed inwardly and stopped struggling. Under the witness of all eyes, they made vicious Taoist oaths in order.
The moment everyone made the Dao Heart Oath, they could clearly feel that invisible threads were born out of thin air in the sea of consciousness, entangled outside their souls.
This is a normal behavior after taking the oath of Taoism. No one doubts that he is there.
Naturally, no one knew that, just as they were pointing to the Tao and swearing an oath, Meng Zhou's fingers in his sleeves were gently and silently playing with them.
As the swearer completed the Dao Heart Oath, the invisible thread that entangled his soul quietly appeared in his sea of consciousness. At the moment it entangled the soul of the swearer, something slight happened that no one except Meng Zhou could detect.
Variety.
Meng Zhou, who has trained the Knot Master to the limit of the third level and has already vaguely reached a higher threshold, has mastered many mysterious and unpredictable methods through the Knotting method. His vision has long been completely different from ordinary Knotting.
At the moment when the Dao Heart Oath takes effect on the one who takes the oath, Meng Zhou is even more keenly aware that it is like the rules of heaven and earth, which can respond to the oath in a timely manner at any time and any place, and can trap the soul.
Invisible silk thread is an exquisite knotting technique.
A means of knotting imprinted on the background of heaven and earth.
With his current knowledge as a knot master, he can slightly interfere with it.
So, Meng Zhou quietly added a small lock next to the "Lock of Heaven and Earth".
Although the invisible thread that appeared in response to the Dao Heart Oath was at a level higher than his third-order limit.
But it is a dead thing that follows fixed rules and acts mechanically, and does not know how to be flexible.
In the world of spiritual practice, there are many secret methods that specifically focus on the Tao Heart Vow.
So, he quietly added a second "lock".
Although its absolute level is much weaker than the first one, it is more flexible and flexible enough - "cunning".
Moreover, this "weakness" is also compared to the first lock, which is enough to pose a fatal threat to this group of rookies whose strongest cultivation level is only the second level of pill formation.
After handling all this, Meng Zhou glanced around the cultivators and said:
"In the following period, your biggest task is to digest these inheritances and formulate a suitable plan to spread them to the entire association.
You should have also seen that in the inheritance I gave you, there are only specific methods for the first and second levels.
If you want to get the third-level inheritance as soon as possible, then perform well."
As he spoke, he paused and said with deep meaning in his eyes:
"I will be here during this period. If you encounter any difficulties and need my help to solve the problem, don't worry, just come to me openly."
After explaining everything that needed to be explained, the master and apprentice "Qi Huangzi" and "Ge Ping" did not stay much longer and left the main hall to others.
…
After the two left, everyone couldn't help but let out a long breath.
From the beginning to the end, the president did not show the slightest aura of domination over others, giving people a gentleness like the warm sun in winter.
But as time went on, everyone around him felt more and more oppressive and breathless.
After a while, Li Wenchang suddenly said:
"The president has only restricted these inheritances. Does that mean that he doesn't mind whether other things that happened in the palace today will spread?"
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled, and they all looked at Li Wenchang, with strange colors flashing in their eyes.
Li Wenchang did not panic at all, but solemnly said:
"Today, such a big event happened in our association. Can we really hide it from the outside world?"
"You know, because of Pharmacist Ge, you don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us!"
"What's more, according to the president's request, we need to spread these new inheritances within the association as soon as possible.
——Don’t you know how complicated the members of our association are?
Until then, can everything that happened here today really be hidden from others?"
"In this case, why don't we just be more generous and take the initiative to spread today's events downwards and outwards in a planned way.
In this way, we can still have some initiative, and the image of the president and the association will be more positive."
"Wouldn't this... attract the attention of Qingxuan Sect earlier?" Xu Ze said hesitantly.
Li Wenchang said:
"But the president has already said that he can solve the problem of Qingxuan Sect."
As he spoke, he paused and then said:
"Besides, do you think that Qingxuanzong won't know if we keep our mouths shut?"
As he spoke, his eyes swept over everyone, full of profound meaning.
Everyone knew clearly that it was extremely unreasonable to say that among the eighteen people present, there was not a single person who had Qingxuanzong's eye on him.
So, everyone nodded.
"In this case, let me inform the people below and let them make some preparations."
"Let me inform you too."
"..."
While talking, various communication tools appeared in everyone's hands.
Magic groups carrying rich information, various communication tools, small communication spirit puppets known for their speed...
Soon, these strange signaling objects flew out of the hall and shot towards the distant sky.
As for whether these things have fallen into the hands of other association members as they said, only they themselves know.
And as these communication objects flew out one after another, they spread to all parts of Qingxuan Territory.
A piece of information also blew out from the Sanchuan Plain like a hurricane, quickly spreading throughout the Qingxuan Territory.
Ge Yaoshi's master, a monk who called himself Qi Huangzi and had never appeared in Qingxuan Domain, became the president of the Professionals Association.
His attainments in Alchemy, Weapon, Talisman, and Formation can no longer be described as proficient. He is completely miraculous. With one move, he has conquered the four major branches of the Professionals Association that currently have the most say.
Shocked.
There are even rumors that although he has only demonstrated four skills, he has already understood the true meaning of "different paths leading to the same goal" in many professions.
…
"Do you think this statement is reliable?"
In Qingxuan Sect, in a pavilion located halfway up the mountain, Xuan Min, the master of the Alchemy Hall, looked at the figure standing solemnly and bowing in front of him and asked.
If the senior officials of other professional associations met him, they would definitely be very surprised.
Because this person is none other than Xu Ze, the president of the Talisman Maker Branch.
Xu Ze replied:
"Whether he has really mastered all aspects, I dare not say.
But what I am relatively sure of is that, in addition to the four realms of alchemy and talismans he displayed, he must have good abilities in the five realms of pharmacist, beast master, puppet master, spirit master, and spirit wine master.
Achievements."
When several people in the pavilion heard this, they couldn't control their eyelids from twitching wildly.
Xuan Xu, the master of the Talisman Formation Hall, who has cooperated with Xuan Huan, the master of the Law Enforcement Hall, for many outings, couldn't help but said: "Why do you have such a judgment? Do you really have so much confidence in him?"
Xu Ze was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "It's not that I have confidence in him."
"Although I have tried my best to recreate the scene as truly as possible, it is not true after all.
If you were there at that time and had experienced his ability to refine soul-nourishing pills beyond perfection with just a snap of his fingers, changing his usual methods and using talismans and formations to refine weapons, you would only have more confidence in him than I do.
More abundant!”
"Furthermore, my judgment is not without purpose. Since he is Ge Ping's teacher, his attainments as a pharmacist will definitely not be low."
"How many fake elixirs and elixirs have the Deacon Hall obtained through Ge Yaoshi these days?
In order to prevent the military merit system from collapsing, the Deacon Hall turned a blind eye to such an obvious problem and pretended not to know. I don’t believe that the entire sect really didn’t consider this.”
Several people in the pavilion looked at each other and were silent for a long time again. The miscellaneous palace master, a third-level middle-grade pharmacist, and before "Ge Pharmacist" appeared, Xuan Zhi, the most talented pharmacist in Qingxuan Territory, couldn't help but say:
"What's so wonderful about the inheritance between Naqi Huangzi and you?"
Xu Ze glanced at him and finally chose to remain silent.
Seeing this, Xuanzhi felt a little displeased, but he still turned over his hand and took out five small flags that were woven like brocade, with flowing gloss and colorful colors.
"This is the Five Elements Inversion Flag, which contains the mysteries of the Five Elements understood by the five ancestors, and can reverse the chaos and void of energy.
Although the Taoist Oath is strict, its judgment is too rigid.
As long as I confuse this void with the Five Elements Upside Down Flag, you don't have to worry about the constraints imposed by the Dao Heart Oath, and you can speak freely."
After saying that, he began to beat the five colorful flags in his hand into the void around the pavilion.
A wonderful energy spreads.
"Okay." Xuan Zhi clapped his hands and said.
Xu Ze opened his mouth, looking embarrassed.
It can be seen that even though Xuanzhi has solved the constraints imposed on him by the Daoxin Oath, he is not willing to reveal the relevant contents of the Daoxin Oath.
No one in the pavilion was surprised by this.
If the invisible force entangled in the soul caused by the Taoist oath is a direct and mandatory constraint, then the personal inner moral standards and self-restraint are a kind of soft constraint.
All practitioners are proud.
The higher your cultivation level, the prouder your heart will be.
This has nothing to do with which camp they are in.
Therefore, no one was dissatisfied at all when they saw Xu Ze's reluctance, but they could not give up. They just looked at him quietly and waited for him.
Invisible pressure was passed on Xu Ze.
After a long time.
Xu Ze finally couldn't hold on any longer and said dejectedly:
"Each of the inheritances given by the president has its own exquisiteness and uniqueness. All professions have been newly deconstructed and reconstructed using a set of methods, presenting a simple and neat aesthetic.
The professions we are familiar with have thus lowered the threshold, making it easier to get started and advance.
The barriers between different professions have also become thinner and fewer. I can conclude that it will be easier for alchemy masters, talisman masters, spirit controllers, and even practitioners with more professions to appear in the future.
The specific methods are extremely rich, but I think the core is...ah...poof..."
Just as he was talking, Xu Ze screamed and a mouthful of strong blood spurted out from his mouth.
Then, he slowly fell down weakly.
Listening with their ears perked up, the few people who were fascinated by Xu Ze's words just watched in amazement.
With a "pop", Xu Ze fell to the ground, twitched slightly, his pupils turned white, and fine white foam bubbled out from the corners of his blood-stained mouth.
Everyone was stunned for a while, then turned to look at Xuan Zhi, the master of the miscellaneous palace.
As if questioning silently.
Xuan Zhi had already jumped up and squatted next to Xu Ze who was twitching.
As a ray of light condensed in his palm and was expelled into Xu Ze's body, his twitching body quickly calmed down.
Xuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and explained to everyone: "Don't worry, it's not a big problem... uh..."
Before he finished speaking, he stopped in embarrassment because Xu Ze's body had twitched again.
Xuanzhi started treatment again.
This time, his treatment was much slower and more cautious.
He not only treated Xu Ze's body, but also treated and comforted Xu Ze's soul.
Xu Ze became quiet again. To ensure that everything was safe, he did not speak for the time being. Instead, he waited for a while until the tea time passed. Seeing that Xu Ze did not behave abnormally, he smiled and appeased everyone:
"I didn't ask this time...ah!￥...%##..."
Looking at Xu Ze who was twitching again, with fine white foam coming out of the corner of his mouth again, Xuan Zhi began to speak indiscriminately.
He felt like he was being teased by another pharmacist!
Having exhausted his options, he did not continue the treatment, but sat back with a look of ruin on his face.
"Sorry, everyone, I was careless, but... I have tried my best."
As for what to do next?
What to do if you love!
The others looked at each other in shock, but Xuan Zhi was already in trouble, what else could they do.
What's more, could Xu Ze be saved just by scolding him?
After a while, Xuan Xu, the most reliable master of the Talisman Formation Palace, said: "Do you still remember Naqi Huangzi's last warning to Xu Ze and others?"
Just now, Xu Ze "re-enacted" what happened that day in the main hall of the pharmacist branch headquarters.
Especially everything related to Naqi Huangzi, every word he said and everything he did, were all seen by Xu Ze using the water mirror technique.
Therefore, although they were within the Qingxuan Sect, they knew everything that happened tens of thousands of miles away that day.
Xuan Min, the master of the Alchemy Palace, said thoughtfully: "When you say that, it's true that his demeanor and tone, now that I think about it, really have a different meaning!"
The Master of the Soul Controlling Hall, the female cultivator Xuanqing, who had been listening quietly and said nothing, had a faint light in her eyes and said softly:
"Tell me, Naqi Huangzi has predicted something, and what he said was actually meant for us?"
The scene was quiet for a while.
Xuan Qing said softly: "He is fishing with a straight hook, and he is just waiting for us to bite the hook."
Everyone looked at each other, no one said anything.
No one was in the mood to talk.
After a long time, Xuan Min, the master of the Alchemy Palace, broke the silence and said in a rather difficult tone:
"Then...should we go to Sanchuan Yuan now?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn’t want to be the first to speak.
Go ahead, this makes them feel a little frustrated.
The feeling of being caught with a straight hook is not pleasant.
But don’t go, it’s even more impossible!
It was impossible for Qingxuanzong to turn a blind eye to the sudden appearance of Qihuangzi.
Contact must be with him.
And, sooner rather than later.
Just when everyone was entangled, Xuan Qing looked at Xuan Zhi and asked, "Will Xu Ze die?"
Xuanzhi said: "You won't die in a while."
Xuan Qing nodded slightly and looked at the others:
"That being the case, we don't have to rush now. I think we need to know more about this Qihuangzi before going to Sanchuan Plain."
Xuan Min asked doubtfully: "Know more? Where can I find out? Isn't this the first time this person appears?"
Xuan Qing said:
"Didn't Master Ge take out a special token?
Nagi Huangzi also personally admitted that he had played some role in the birth and early development of the Professionals Association.
Isn’t this a clue?”
When Xuan Min and others heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all nodded slightly.
Xuan Qing looked at Xuan Xu, the master of Fu Zhen Palace, and said:
"Senior brother, I have to trouble you again this time."
Xuanxu nodded solemnly. Ever since he mastered and perfected the Retrospective Circle Light Array, similar situations have happened frequently.
At first, he was still grumbling a little, but now, he is lying down.
What's more, this time, he himself was full of curiosity about Qihuangzi who suddenly appeared.
…
Almost at the same time.
Sanchuan Plateau.
At this moment, Meng Zhou was staying in the cave in the disguise of Qi Huangzi, and "Ge Ping", a clone of Bing Xin Xue Lian, was accompanying him.
Meng Zhou sat beside him without saying a word, as if he was in a trance, while "Ge Ping" was dealing with Zhu Qian's "harassment".
After a lot of talking, "Ge Ping" sent Zhu Qian away.
Meng Zhou thought he could be quiet for a while, but soon, his eyes looked outside the cave, with a look of interest on his face.
In the direction where Meng Zhou looked up, a figure was approaching quickly.
Although he had almost no interaction with him, Meng Zhou was deeply impressed by the visitor.
The visitor's name is Xia Heng, and he is the first person among the alchemy practitioners in the Qingxuan Domain to break through from the early stage of elixir formation to the middle stage of elixir formation.
Because long before Qingxuan Sect relaxed the restrictions on Qingxuan Territory, he was already a true cultivator of pill formation.
The Xia Family where he resided was no less powerful than the Mo Family of Emerald Lake back then. It was the uncrowned king of the second-level spiritual lineage whose size and quality were not much inferior to that of Emerald Lake.
As the Qingxuan Sect opened the invisible shackles, the potential of the entire Qingxuan Domain cultivation world was released, and Xia Heng and the Xia family behind him were released particularly thoroughly.
Xia Heng's personal cultivation was like a spring that rebounded after bottoming out, advancing by leaps and bounds.
The Xia family behind him and the Changheng Chamber of Commerce formed with the Xia family as the core have become one of the top forces in the Qingxuan domain besides the Qingxuan Sect.
In the current Cuiyu Lake City Lord's Mansion, he has the equity and voice second only to Qingxuan Sect.
This person approached quickly, landed dozens of steps away from the cave, and then walked to the front of the cave.
Faced with this man's respectful attitude, Meng Zhou didn't feel it was helpful. Instead, he chuckled lightly, with a hint of ridicule.
"cut."
He is not a person who can be persuaded by others with such a cheap and low-profile appearance.
Although he was thinking this, Meng Zhou still opened the cave door and let Xia Heng in.
"Fellow Daoist Xia, you are a rare visitor, but...do you have something to do?"
When Xia Heng entered the cave, "Ge Ping" greeted him immediately. Without any hesitation, he directly asked him the reason for his visit.
"Ge Ping's" frankness made Xia Heng a little stunned. After a moment of silence, he saw him reaching out and waving his hand, and a figure flew out of a special bag on his waist and lay quietly on the ground.
I saw this burly and majestic figure with his eyes turned white, his whole body twitching slightly uncontrollably, and the corners of his mouth bubbling.
"Jiao Hong?"
"Ge Ping" had a surprised look on his face, astonished and shocked like "I guessed there was someone in your bag, but I didn't expect it to be him."
After a while, he shook his head and sighed:
"He really knows people well but doesn't know their hearts. I thought that among so many people, he would be the least likely to cause problems.
But I didn’t expect that he would be the first to have problems!”
As he said that, "Ge Ping" sighed again and shook his head, looking annoyed that he had made a mistake.
After sighing for a while, he looked at Xia Heng and said playfully:
"Did you use any means at that time to think that you had circumvented the restrictions of the Dao Heart Oath... Did you step into a trap?!"
Xia Heng was silent for a moment, feeling embarrassed that he had been caught as a thief.
However, he is determined after all. Now that he has decided to come, he is also ready to face difficulties and face them.
Therefore, he quickly recovered and bowed sincerely.
"If you do something wrong, you will be punished. Now that I'm here, I'm ready to bear the price. I just hope that you two can save Jiao Hong first."
"Ge Ping" raised his hand and said: "Don't be impatient, please answer me a question first."
Xia Heng said: "Say it!"
"As far as I know, this Jiao Hong has nothing to do with you. He is not related to you, so why do you want to stand up for him?"
"Even if you really let him die, what will it cost you?"
"So, what is your relationship with Jiao Hong?"
What is your relationship?
"this……"
Faced with this very simple question, Xia Heng was speechless.
"Ge Ping" stared at him seriously for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said:
"Young Daoist Xia is in such a difficult situation, do you want me to answer it for you?"
Xia Heng suddenly raised his head, his eyes sharp.
But soon, he restrained that fleeting edge.
"Ge Ping" didn't care at all about his sharp aura, and continued:
"It's strange that you, who have always been cautious and calm even when your own son was kidnapped, are extremely concerned about Jiao Hong's safety.
However, I happen to know that there is a secret method called the Shared Life Contract in Yingsha Tower, which has the ability to substitute lives.
Therefore, this Jiao Hong is not only his own, but also your second life, I guess it should be good, right? Shadow Kill the Poster!"
Xia Heng looked at "Ge Ping" calmly. Although his eyes were not sharp, he did not flinch.
"Ge Ping" didn't take it seriously either and continued:
"It seems that you have really contributed a lot behind the scenes to achieve what he has achieved today."
As he spoke, he half guessed and half reasoned:
"You should be the one who holds the contract, so even if he really dies, he shouldn't drag you to death.
But under the backlash, it is very possible that he will be dragged half to death, his cultivation will regress back to the early stage of pill formation, and it will be difficult to make progress again.
Such a price is also something you cannot afford.
You don't even dare to leave this matter to others. For Yingshalou, there is a tradition of defeating the superior.
If you expose your weakest side, others will not be polite to you.
Therefore, even if you know the danger, you have to bite the bullet and come in person."
Having said this, "Ge Ping" shook his head and sighed:
"Hey, tell me, you know that nothing can happen to Jiao Hong, your precious kid, so why do you want to let him take such a big risk? Aren't you digging a hole for yourself?"
Xia Heng, the host of Shadow Killer, had no expression on his face.
Bian Qihuangzi said cheerfully: "He is too confident in his method of evading the Dao Heart Oath... Well, this kind of thing should have been done a lot before."
Xia Heng just stood there, letting the master and apprentice wash him off.
After both of them stopped talking, he said:
"Can you save Jiao Hong now?"
Qihuangzi did not answer, but looked at his apprentice "Ge Ping".
"Ge Ping" looked at Xia Heng, laughed twice, and said:
"You want to save him? It's not impossible.
However, there are conditions!"
"Say it!" Xia Heng said.
"From today on, Ying Sha Lou, the Xia family, Chang Heng Chamber of Commerce, and of course you will all obey my teacher's instructions." "Ge Ping" the lion said loudly.
Xia Heng did not hesitate, nodded and said: "Okay."
Meng Zhou, who was pretending to be Qi Huangzi, spoke again: "Listen to me? Okay, from now on, Yingshalou is not allowed to accept any more assassination missions, not even a single one."
Xia Heng was stunned. Is this Yingsha Tower still called Yingsha Tower?
However, after only a brief hesitation, Xia Heng agreed without hesitation.
"Can."
The Shadow Killing Tower is important, but when compared with the future of your own road, it is insignificant.
After everything was settled, when they saw that the two of them had not made any move, and Jiao Hong was still lying on the ground twitching and frothing, Xia Heng couldn't help but want to remind him again.
Then I heard Qihuangzi say: "Okay."
Xia Heng's expression condensed, and he turned to look at Jiao Hong on the ground, only to see that he had opened his eyes at some point, his eyes were clear again, his body no longer twitched, his facial features became normal, and he no longer uttered nonsense.
foam.
Apart from being a little weak, there was almost nothing serious about him.
Xia Heng felt awe-inspiring in his heart, and he took the initiative to kill all the last negative emotions towards the master and apprentice.
He claimed to be the number one person, but at such a close distance, he had no idea how and when Qihuangzi made his move.
With such an obvious gap, the last bit of pride he held on to in his heart seemed pale and ridiculous.
At this time, if you are still not smart, you are really going to die, and it will be difficult for gods to save you.
Just when Xia Heng was stunned, Jiao Hong had already turned over and sat up from the ground. Seeing two "acquaintances" looking at him with curiosity and amusement, Jiao Hong felt his face heat up and felt ashamed.
