Chapter 43 The Immortal Mansion is upgraded, how to arrange it?
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Fan slowly woke up.
Then……
The whole world has changed!
“Upgraded again! Great!”
Looking at the Immortal Mansion that had grown ten times bigger, Zhou Fan's eyes widened and he was even more excited than his own breakthrough.
"etc!"
"Why hasn't Lingtian grown bigger?"
He suppressed his excitement and quickly experimented.
In the Immortal Mansion, 100 days later.
"The flow rate of time in the Immortal Mansion is 1,000 times that of the outside world!"
Zhou Fan has never lacked perseverance in his two lives, but what he lacks is time!
Because his talent is so poor, the higher he goes in cultivation, the time spent on each level is a hundred times that of ordinary people!
A thousand times!
If he doesn't have enough time and perseverance, his martial arts skills can be overturned at a glance!
"Although the spiritual field has not become larger, it has been upgraded from the previous third-grade spiritual field to a fourth-grade spiritual field!"
Looking at the large number of fourth-grade talismans and fourth-grade elixirs in his hand, Zhou Fan was filled with ecstasy.
Back then, the Zhou family quickly rose to become the number one clan in the Dayue Dynasty by relying on the fourth-grade talismans and fourth-grade elixirs!
"No matter what the Xiao family plans, they will be vulnerable to a large number of fourth-grade talismans and fourth-grade elixirs."
Although the number of Zhou family disciples has dropped sharply, they are extremely united, and the speed of producing fourth-grade talismans and fourth-grade elixirs is much faster than before.
so……
The Zhou family is no weaker than before!
"Feel the power of a strong man in the spiritual sea realm!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Fan finally focused on his own realm.
The power of the spiritual sea realm: The spiritual sea condensed in the Dantian can store spiritual power during non-war times and use it arbitrarily during war. The larger the spiritual sea, the more spiritual power is stored and the longer the fighting time.
"Not only am I small, I am also short-lived."
Thinking of Su Waner's description, he was shocked again: "Is this the difference between genius and waste?"
"But, no matter what... my strength has caught up with Wan'er's!"
It has been less than a month since Wan'er left, so Wan'er must have been unable to break through, so according to the agreement, he can consummate his marriage with Wan'er!
“It’s so exciting just thinking about it!”
"I can finally use the postures I learned in my previous life."
Zhou Fan was extremely excited and quickly made a plan: "After I kill the county guard and destroy the Xiao family, I will go find Wan'er!"
"I won't be clean in a month at the latest."
"Upgrade from boy to man!"
"correct!"
He suddenly thought of two things: "From today on, I can also take pills to improve my strength. Although I can't take them regularly, my cultivation speed will be further improved."
"From today on, I can also practice combat skills! When I practice the Earth Spirit Steps, Earth Spirit Shield and Earth Spirit Palm to the state of perfection, I will be able to easily crush Niu Dali!"
"Teach him what the saying 'Ten days of separation means treating each other with admiration'!"
Zhou Fan was very excited and continued to practice in the Immortal Mansion.
1 day!
10 days!
…
1000 days!
Seeing that his spiritual sea expanded by three points, Zhou Fan's mouth twitched slightly: "I am really a waste."
"When the spiritual sea expands ten times, we can break through to the middle stage of the spiritual sea realm."
"If you calculate it this way, it will take more than 90 years for me to break through to the middle stage of the spiritual sea realm by practicing alone. If I encounter the shackles of the realm, it may take even longer."
"Fortunately, only a little over 33 days have passed, so it doesn't affect my pretense."
Then, he had a sudden idea.
Taking a first-grade jade elixir: "The spiritual sea expanded by three strands."
Taking a second-grade jade elixir: "The spiritual sea expanded by three points."
Taking a third-grade jade elixir: "The spiritual sea expanded three times."
Zhou Fan: "..."
"I have practiced for 1,000 days, and the effect is about the same as a second-grade jade elixir?"
"It's not that shocking!"
He was tough-minded and quickly accepted this reality.
Mainly...getting used to it.
"Buzz!"
It took 100 days to stabilize the aura that was a little frail due to taking three pills.
Then, he left the Immortal Mansion and prepared to take a breather.
"A large group of people came to the front door of our Zhou family. They didn't know what they were going to do!"
"Are you begging for food? I see that their clothes are very ragged, and many of them have injuries on their bodies!"
"Madam has invited them into the hall."
…
Listening to the maids' discussion, Zhou Fan frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
"Master Fan."
Seeing Master Fan asking him, several maids rushed to answer.
"From the county town?"
"Relatives of the onlookers?"
Zhou Fan was confused after hearing this and took the initiative to walk over.
"mother."
"These people are..."
he asked.
"You still remember the 'Blood Moon God Order', right?"
Chen Guoer pulled him aside and quickly told what happened.
"This... Sheriff Ye and that Xiao Qian really deserve to die!"
Zhou Fan's face darkened, his murderous intent rising to the sky.
If you have the ability, come to the Zhou family!
What's the point of taking it out on ordinary people?
"This matter needs long-term consideration."
Chen Guoer said: "What we have to do now is how to help them."
"No."
"This is what you have to do, mother."
Zhou Fan keenly noticed something was wrong and said, "What I want to do is to find out how they escaped from the county town!"
"How could the county governor let them leave?"
"No need to check."
Chen Guoer said: "One of them is related to Captain Zhu. This man is kind. After learning about this, he asked for help from Captain Zhu. So..."
"These family members who were not killed were able to survive."
"However, he was expelled from the county town!"
"That's it."
Zhou Fan nodded, but still felt uneasy, and said, "Then check the person who is related to Master Zhu."
"I want to know his details."
"Let's check again to see if the families of these people were really killed by the county guards."
"Xiaofan, it's not necessary, is it?"
Chen Guoer felt that Zhou Fan was a little too cautious.
"Caution is the boat."
Zhou Fan insisted.
"That's okay."
Thinking of Xiao Qian, Chen Guoer nodded and said, "I will send someone to investigate."
Immediately, Chen Guoer asked the group of people to wash up, then register their names and basic information, and then...
"If you are willing to follow the Zhou family and join the Zhou family, then the Zhou family will ask you some questions and then arrange things to be done according to your abilities."
Zhou Fan looked at everyone, was polite and thoughtful, and said with great respect: "If you are not willing to follow the Zhou family and join the Zhou family, then the Zhou family will give each of you 10 taels of silver and let you find your own way out."
"this……"
Everyone started talking in low voices.
Soon, the leader, Old Man Liu, took the initiative and said, "Master Fan, we are willing to work with the Zhou family."
Everyone nodded.
"Well."
Zhou Fan waved his hand.
The children of the Zhou family began to ask everyone what they were good at and what they wanted to do.
"My name is Qiu Shui. I am a blacksmith in the county. I have been born with three meridians and a ninth-level martial arts cultivator. I...can I do something that makes more money?"
One of the young men came forward and said.
"The blacksmith who was born with three meridians has actually reached the ninth level of martial arts?"
Chen Guoer was surprised: "The Zhou family is currently planning to run an 'Item Refining Workshop'. You can go there. If your craftsmanship is good, the money will come quickly."
"Thanks!"
Qiu Shui nodded, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Would you like to test their strength and talent?"
Zhou Fan accidentally caught a glimpse of Qiu Shui's eyes, which contained overwhelming hatred. He narrowed his eyes and had a sudden thought.
"Nonsense!"
Chen Guoer on the side refused decisively and said: "These are other people's secrets. If they take the initiative to tell them, we will use them according to their ability. If they don't take the initiative to tell them or hide something, we can't force them to check."
"Um."
Zhou Fan nodded.
An hour later.
"My name is He Zai, and I like to be free. Xingsheng Escort Agency was founded by my father. I need to make decisions on many matters of the Escort Agency. I am known as the number one prodigy in Linyou County. Do you have any vacancies for shopkeepers in the Zhou family?
You can take the position reluctantly. Of course, if you hire me as a staff member of the Zhou Mansion, then you can make the most of it."
A slovenly scholar, with his hands behind his back and a book in his hand, said proudly.
Chen Guoer: "..."
Zhou Fan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "I didn't expect that among these people, there is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon."
"Mom, if you don't check carefully, it's really easy to bury talents."
Chen Guoer: "..."
"Old man, please slow down."
Immediately, He Zai took the initiative to help the last old man on crutches and said: "This old man's surname is Xiao. He can't speak or hear. Let's arrange some easy work for him."
"Um."
Chen Guoer's sense of He Zai changed, and she immediately said: "Just clean the courtyard of Zhou Mansion."
"Can."
"Your Zhou family knows how to make the best use of everyone."
He Zai nodded and said with great satisfaction: "I believe that my talents will be fully utilized."
Housekeeper Zhou: "..."
Chen Guoer had a headache.
She and the housekeeper of Zhou Mansion looked at each other with sad faces, not knowing how to deal with this person.
Zhou Fan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, this is interesting.
"Everyone, please rest first."
"Tonight, we will discuss where you are going to work, and we will officially notify you tomorrow."
Chen Guoer could only use the 'delay strategy'.
Watching everyone leave, Zhou Fan said, "Steward, ask the people in the 'Item Refining Workshop' to keep an eye on Qiushui. If there is any change, please inform me at any time."
"yes!"
The housekeeper of Zhou Mansion nodded quickly.
"Do you doubt Qiu Shui?"
Chen Guoer frowned and asked doubtfully.
"I'm just interested."
Zhou Fan didn't explain too much.
"Shouldn't you be more interested in the 'where'?"
Chen Guoer said: "According to other people's accounts, He Zai was the only one among this group of people who was present to support us in using the 'Blood Moon Divine Order' and survived."
"He has been of great help to our Zhou family."
"But he didn't mention it, he just wanted to brag about his talent."
"This person is quite strange."
"Maybe this kind of person is really talented?"
Zhou Fan smiled lightly and said: "For example, in terms of 'bragging', his talent is outstanding."
