Chapter 5 The successful opening of the pulse, the change of the immortal mansion
"I'll wait for you below!"
Ajie spurted out a mouthful of blood.
die!
"puff!"
Suddenly, there was another sound of penetration.
Ah Chao looked at Zhou Xue standing aside with wide eyes, and asked: "Zhou Xue, you...don't you love me very much?"
"like?"
Zhou Xue said coldly: "I sleep with you just because I want you to become my slave, help me serve those in power who have unique tastes, and help me rise to power!"
"That's all!"
After saying that, she looked at Zhou Fan and asked, "Master Fan, do you mean what you say?"
"The truth is."
Zhou Fan shrugged and said, "But you must survive first."
"What's the meaning?"
Zhou Xue frowned.
next moment……
"Bang!"
Zhou Xue's pretty face changed, and she collapsed on the ground, terrified: "You...you poisoned me? When did it happen? I have carefully checked everything in my mouth, how could I be poisoned?"
Ah Chao smiled coldly: "Are you sure you have checked everything at the entrance?"
Zhou Xue suddenly thought of something. She glanced at a certain part of Ah Chao's body and fell down unwillingly.
Never die with eyes in peace.
"Ha ha."
Ah Chao died laughing.
"Bah bang bang!"
Zhou Fan applauded, very satisfied: "What a wonderful play."
"I have learned a lot."
I originally thought of driving a wedge between these three people and attacking them separately, but I didn't expect that these three people were so powerful that they killed each other and no one survived.
Niu Dali on the side stared at the three corpses on the ground with wide eyes, speechless for a moment.
Obviously shocked.
"This is the elixir the Zhou family owes you."
After disposing of the body, Zhou Fan took out three pills.
"One is enough."
Niu Dali came to his senses and only took one.
"The second one is to treat your injuries, and the third one is to compensate for your losses."
Looking at the seriously injured Niu Dali and the ruined courtyard, Zhou Fan explained.
"I don't want anything from your Zhou family."
Niu Dali shook his head stubbornly and dragged his seriously injured body to feed his old mother who was seriously ill.
"..."
Zhou Fan was stunned for a moment, left the remaining two pills, and then left in silence.
Night falls.
Zhou family.
"What a steal!"
"Sell fake elixirs and fake talismans in the name of our Zhou family, and then sell the real elixirs to the Bi family and the real talismans to the Zhao family?"
After listening to Zhou Fan's story, Chen Guoer was furious: "Zhou Xue is a traitor!"
For businessmen, reputation is the most important!
Fortunately, this matter was discovered early, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"Master Bi, this is such a deep city."
Zhou Tianxiong's face was extremely gloomy: "Hit the snake seven inches, he wants to destroy our Zhou family."
"Is this the recent conspiracy between the Bi family and the Zhao family?"
Chen Guoer asked.
Zhou Tianxiong was about to say something, then he looked at Zhou Fan and said, "Xiao Fan, what do you think?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Zhou Fan shook his head and said: "We can't let down our guard! Is there anything unusual recently?"
If Zhou Xue is exposed and killed, he will definitely scare off the enemy.
"abnormal?"
Chen Guoer thought about it carefully and said: "The Guo family has completely cut off all contact with our Zhou family. There are rumors in Lingcheng that Xiaofan is arrogant and domineering, refuses to pay back debts, and even kills Guo Zifeng, which has affected the reputation of our Zhou family.
A certain impact.”
"That's it?"
Zhou Fan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Isn't this enough?"
Chen Guoer asked.
"not enough."
Zhou Fan shook his head and said: "Don't you think it's strange that Guo Zifeng dared to trick me and even invited Butler Huang? The Guo family doesn't have that much courage! Nor does it have that much energy!"
"you mean……"
Chen Guoer narrowed her beautiful eyes and reacted: "Is there someone behind the scenes that is adding fuel to the flames?"
"That's right."
Zhou Fan said calmly.
"Is it the Bi family?"
Chen Guoer asked.
"hope so."
Zhou Fan frowned slightly and said.
"What is hope, right?"
Chen Guoer was stunned and asked.
"Do you suspect that the City Lord's Mansion is also involved?"
Zhou Tianxiong frowned and asked.
"You must be careful."
Zhou Fan said calmly.
"I remembered."
Suddenly, Chen Guoer thought of something and said: "The City Lord's Mansion and the Yinling Chamber of Commerce! They purchased a large number of talismans and elixirs from us, and they have not yet paid the balance, and have been in arrears for several days."
"If it is not returned, our business may have serious problems."
"!!!"
Zhou Fan's pupils shrank slightly: "The Bi family wants to cut off our capital chain!"
"Do you have any money left at home?"
"Gone."
Chen Guoer shook her head and said: "The City Lord's Mansion and the Yinling Merchant Guild suddenly requested a large number of talismans and elixirs. We spent all the funds we could mobilize on purchasing talisman paper, talisman pens, elixirs and other materials. Now we are very short on money.
"
"If I guess correctly, neither the City Lord's Mansion nor the Yinling Chamber of Commerce will return our balance in the near future."
Zhou Fan said coldly.
"this……"
Zhou Tianxiong and Chen Guoer's expressions darkened.
"Did Zhou Xue and his wife go to the place where they hid their gold and silver treasures?"
Zhou Fan asked.
"went."
"Ten thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of silver, a large number of talismans and elixirs, he is a fat sheep. It seems that the Bi family gave him a lot of resources, which is an advantage for us."
Zhou Tianxiong said: "And..."
"According to your suggestion, the Zhou family has started self-examination, especially those high-level officials who were slept with by Zhou Xue. No traitors were found, but a lot of embezzlement and corruption were found. All the people involved were dealt with and punished.
Some resources.”
"However, this money is too little for our entire family."
"Tomorrow, I will personally go to the City Lord's Mansion and the Yinling Chamber of Commerce to ask for the balance!" Chen Guoer gritted her teeth and said, "According to the contract, if you fail to pay the balance after the due date, you will have to pay liquidated damages."
"You are responsible for this."
Zhou Tianxiong frowned: "I'm keeping an eye on the Bi family and the Zhao family. I'm afraid they have other methods!"
Zhou Fan said nothing.
If all this is a plot against the Zhou family, then Chen Guoer will definitely come back empty-handed from her next trip to collect debts.
The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building!
"I'm late."
At this moment, Su Waner's voice sounded outside the door.
The faces of Zhou Fan and the other three people suddenly changed into smiles. They had a tacit understanding that they did not want Su Waner to know about the family's plight.
They owe Wan'er so much!
"not late."
Chen Guoer said: "Wan'er, you came just in time."
"Wan'er, have you opened up another meridian?"
Zhou Tianxiong's eyes flashed, he saw something, and he looked happy.
"Um."
Su Waner nodded.
"Wan'er, please break through slowly and wait for me."
Zhou Fan said jokingly: "Otherwise, how can I protect you if you encounter danger in the future?"
"I'm here to protect you."
Amelia Su said matter-of-factly.
"You protect me?"
Zhou Fan was stunned.
Gan!
This damn woman!
She teases me!
"Just slowly improve your strength."
"From now on, if anyone bullies you, I will kill them with one strike of my sword."
Su Waner inadvertently revealed her unique domineering power.
Hearing this, Zhou Tianxiong and Chen Guoer smiled and said nothing.
"Well……"
Zhou Fan pursed his lips subconsciously.
It tastes like soft rice!
It smells so good!
He suddenly didn't want to work hard anymore.
I promised that I would conquer you, but how come I was conquered by you in the end?
"I want to open my pulse!"
Zhou Fan suddenly said: "Let's start!"
How can a man let a woman be on top?
He wants to become stronger!
Better than Wan'er!
"The method of opening the pulse goes against the will of heaven..."
Immediately, Zhou Tianxiong, under the guidance of Su Waner, used the spiritual power in his body to open Zhou Fan's pulse.
Protector Chen Guoer.
"boom!"
Zhou Fan noticed a majestic energy pouring into his body from the top of his head and began to forcibly open the first meridian.
"I'm going to start!"
Lao Zhou's voice reached my ears.
"snort!"
The next moment, Zhou Fan snorted.
A strong pain hit his whole body, he was shaking violently and sweating on his forehead.
At this moment, he almost fainted!
"stay awake!"
Su Waner warned that she was ready to remove Zhou Fan's limbs at any time to prevent him from moving randomly and affecting Zhou Tianxiong, which would lead to the failure of opening the pulse.
"Crunch!"
Zhou Fan clenched his fists tightly and bit the clothes in his mouth, always staying awake.
Chen Guoer never dared to look back.
She was afraid that she would feel heartbroken when she saw her son in pain!
"Three inches back, the virtual god embraces the spirit..."
Amelia Su's voice continued to sound.
One inch!
Two inches!
…
As time went by, Zhou Fan's first meridians were constantly opened, a large number of impurities were removed, and a strong odor emitted.
One hour.
One-third of the first meridian has been opened!
Two hours.
Two-thirds of the first meridian has been opened!
Zhou Tianxiong's face turned pale, the wound on his back began to crack, and blood stained his clothes. However, he remained silent and continued to activate the spiritual power in his body, concentrating on opening his pulse.
He didn't dare to be careless. If anything went wrong, Zhou Fan's meridians would be damaged, causing endless trouble for future cultivation, or the meridians would fail to open!
"ah!"
The pain from his meridians continued to escalate, and Zhou Fan's consciousness became increasingly blurred. He didn't know how long he could hold on, so he could only rely on his amazing willpower to hold on for dear life.
Three hours.
The first meridian is about to be opened.
At this moment, Zhou Fan reached his limit and his consciousness was about to fall into darkness.
The surrounding sounds become more and more distant.
A feeling of powerlessness enveloped him, leaving him breathless.
About to fail?
Suddenly, Zhou Fan saw that the jade bracelet on his mother's wrist was missing. It was her favorite jewelry.
Is it to help me open my pulse?
"No!"
"Must succeed!"
His heart was touched, giving rise to infinite power!
Consciousness breaks away from the darkness in an instant!
"boom!"
Immediately afterwards, his whole body trembled, and a faint roar appeared in his body!
"Success!"
Su Wan'er's voice came, full of surprises.
"Bang!"
The next moment, Zhou Fan felt relieved and passed out.
Zhou Tianxiong also reached his limit. When he saw Chen Guoer coming towards him, he said with all his strength: "I'm fine. Let's see if Xiaofan is fine first."
"good."
Chen Guoer just turned around.
"Bang!"
Zhou Tianxiong smashed his head on the ground, and there was no movement. Blood gurgled and dyed the ground red.
"master!"
Chen Guoer's pretty face changed drastically.
"father!"
Su Waner's delicate body also trembled.
…
…
I don't know how long it took, but Zhou Fan woke up slowly and found that he was lying on the bed and the room was empty.
"Hiss~"
He moved and suddenly felt sore all over his body, as if he had been ravaged by a woman for three days and three nights. In this state, there was no way to practice, so he could only move his consciousness and enter the fairy palace.
"I'm going! What's going on?"
"The Immortal Mansion has expanded 10 times!"
"The spiritual field has expanded 10 times!"
"I wonder if the things planted in the spiritual field will produce better resources?"
Looking at the surrounding environment, Zhou Fan looked surprised and excited. He endured the pain in his body and started planting.
"Second-grade talisman!"
"Spirit Gathering Pill!"
"A erotic picture!"
…
"etc."
"Didn't my soul enter the fairy palace? Why can I feel sore all over?"
He suddenly noticed something was wrong, thought of something, and his eyes widened suddenly.
No way?
After a while.
"I'll wipe it!"
"My body is really coming in!"
"Very good!"
Zhou Fan was ecstatic.
Making talismans, refining elixirs... these things can indeed go a long way, and are no worse than martial arts, but in this world, martial arts is the choice of most people.
After all, only when you are strong can you be considered strong!
"Since you can practice martial arts in the Immortal Mansion, let's not improve the level of talisman making and alchemy for the time being!"
He made a decision quickly.
You can get better talismans and elixirs through planting, so why spend time cultivating them?
"Practice!"
Zhou Fan rested for several hours, and after his condition got better, he sat cross-legged on the ground.
He has already fully understood the "Zhou Family Martial Arts", the ancestral martial art of the Zhou family.
At this point, start practicing directly.
Then……
"Spiritual Qi Tempering Body!"
"I did it!"
Zhou Fan was pleasantly surprised.
He felt the spiritual energy washing over his body, like a shower, it was very strange.
"Martial arts cultivation is divided into nine levels. The first three levels are for refining skin and flesh, the middle three levels are for forging muscles and bones, and the last three levels are for tempering internal organs."
He is not even a first-grade martial artist now!
There is a long way to go in cultivation!
one day!
Two days!
…
Zhou Fan absorbed the spiritual energy hungrily.
Just like a man who has been single for more than 20 years and meets a goddess who throws himself into his arms, he is full of energy.
He practiced day and night, and his strength finally improved.
"After practicing for 29 days, my scalp has only been tempered by one-third. It's too slow! I'm really impressed by this rubbish talent."
"The medicinal materials in the spiritual field are ripe, let's start the medicinal bath!"
Zhou Fan's talent is too poor, and he only has one meridian, and the speed of circulating spiritual energy to temper his whole body is too slow, so he must use external force.
One day later, at noon.
The originally turquoise water in the bucket turned completely transparent.
The medicinal properties are completely absorbed!
"Scalp tempering completed!"
"The face tempering is completed!"
"Belly tempering completed!"
"The leather refining process is halfway through!"
"With the help of such good medicinal materials, the speed is ridiculously fast."
When Zhou Fan left the Immortal Mansion, he found that the sky was dark and it was dark, and he couldn't help but frown.
The time is wrong!
He called the maid and asked, "How long has it been since I fell into coma?"
"Master, more than three hours have just passed."
The maid replied.
Zhou Fan's reputation as a playboy made her dare not ask any more questions and remained as silent as a cicada.
"What?"
Zhou Fan's voice was a little louder.
He clearly stayed in the Immortal Mansion for thirty days!
"thump!"
The maid was so frightened that she fell to her knees.
"so……"
Zhou Fan showed a look of ecstasy, and before he had time to soothe the maid's frightened soul, he ordered: "Prepare 10 times the resources!"
"Ah? Yes!"
The maid suppressed the doubts in her heart, shook her huge hips, and left quickly.
