Gai Qingzhu, a deacon of the Tongyou Academy’s Department of Health, successfully advanced to the martial arts realm, adding another fourth-level master to the academy!
Deacon Gai Qingzhu was originally a little-known character in the academy. The only time he became known to the public was because he had a great opportunity in the war between the two realms. It was said that he returned with a pool of spiritual lotus.
Sit and look at the slope.
It was precisely because of this opportunity that Deacon Gai's cultivation level skyrocketed. In just over half a year, he accumulated a lot of experience and was promoted to the top group of people in Tongyou Academy.
Regarding this, Shang Xia only felt a little emotional in his heart. After all, everyone has their own destiny, and this cannot be forced.
Compared to most warriors of the same level, Shang Xia does not need to envy anyone.
Therefore, while many people in Zuowangpo were still immersed in the grand celestial phenomena caused by the promotion of fourth-level heavenly warriors, Shang Xia was already preparing to leave Zuowangpo and return to Tongyou City.
However, Shang Xia still failed to leave after all, and was stopped by Shang Tai who came in a hurry.
Like Shang Quan, Shang Tai was born in a branch of the Shang Shang family. In terms of seniority, he also belonged to the second generation of Shang's clan.
A few days ago, Shang Quan felt that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, so he began to prepare for seclusion to attack the martial arts realm, so he handed over all the matters at hand to Shang Tai to take care of it.
For this reason, he even personally brought Shang Tai over to meet with Shang Xia.
Shang Xia also specially gave Shang Quan some cultivation items that may be used, especially a few bottles of second- and third-level monkey wine, which are excellent spiritual treasures to assist in cultivation.
"Uncle Tai, what happened?"
When Shang Xia saw Shang Tai coming in a hurry, he hurriedly greeted him and asked.
When Shang Tai saw that Shang Xia had not yet left Zuowangpo, he couldn't help but relax and said, "It's Yan Qi. Yan Qi is back and wants to see you, Xiao Xia..."
"What's up with him?"
Without saying a word, Shang Xia turned around and walked towards the direction of his family's residence, and at the same time asked Shang Tai.
Shang Xia is very aware of Yan Qi's character. If he really has something important to report to Shang Xia, he will definitely come in person. There is absolutely no reason for Shang Xia to go back to see him, unless something unexpected happens...
"Hi……"
A strange look flashed across Shang Tai's expression, and he said, "You'll know when you get back."
Shang Xia became more and more curious when he saw this. Fortunately, although Zhan Wangpo was big, it didn't take long according to Shang Xia's journey, and he quickly returned to his family's residence.
When Shang Xia saw Yan Qi again after a few months, he immediately understood why Shang Tai wanted him to come back to see him.
Yan Qi was originally a man with a dignified appearance, a beard on his face, and a majestic figure. However, at this time, he looked emaciated, his face was pale, his eyes were lifeless, and he looked like he was weak after overindulgence.
"Uncle Qi, what are you..."
Shang Xia asked in surprise.
"Oh, it's hard to put it into words..."
Yan Qi's originally bloodless face suddenly turned red. After coughing, he quickly changed the topic and said, "I heard that the young master is preparing to advance to the fourth level of heaven. Now he still lacks a few fourth level spiritual objects.
?”
Shang Xi saw that he seemed to have something to hide, so he didn't ask any more questions. However, after hearing Yan Qi's inquiry, his heart suddenly moved and he asked with a smile: "Why, what can Uncle Qi do?"
Yan Qi nodded, glanced at Shang Tai, and said seriously: "I learned from Master Tai the understanding that the young master currently lacks. Maybe I can find 'Jade Crystal Red Grain Rice' for you!"
Shang Xia's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he said: "Seriously? What price do I need to pay?" Yan Qi coughed again, covering up the embarrassment in his expression, and said in a deep voice: "Just one item of level 4
Just spiritual things.”
Shang Xia could naturally see Yan Qi's discomfort, so although he didn't explain much, Shang Xia still chose to believe him without hesitation and said: "Okay, I happen to have two things on me that I won't use for the time being.
Among the fourth-level spiritual objects, one is the 'Ember of Essence Bone' and the other is the 'Red Heart Pill Wood'. Uncle Qi can just take whichever one he likes."
"Embers of the Yuan Bone? There are actually embers of the Yuan Bone on the young master?"
Yan Qi's eyes lit up, and even his sluggish expression became more energetic, and he said: "If we have this thing, it will be much easier to exchange for 'Jade Crystal Red Grain Rice'."
Having said that, after taking over the spirit-sealing box containing the "Embers of Essence Bones" from Shang Xia, Yan Qi did not stay at Zuowangpo for too long. Before leaving, he said without looking back: "Master, please give me a moment."
Wait, it may take five days or three days, and I will definitely bring back the 'Jade Crystal Red Grain Cake' to the young master."
Yan Qi came and left in a hurry. Shang Xia looked at Shang Tai beside him in confusion and asked: "Uncle Tai, has Uncle Qi ever told you about his experiences during this period?"
Shang Tai's eyes had been looking far away in the direction Yan Qi left. Hearing Shang Xia's inquiry, he turned around with a "hmm", but after his eyes touched Shang Xia, he quickly shifted to
elsewhere.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Shang Xia always felt that at that moment, there seemed to be a trace of envy and a bit of embarrassment in Shang Tai's eyes.
Shang Tai made a move to cover up his embarrassment and said: "Yan Qi didn't say much about the specific incident. He should have been sent by the clan leader, maybe even the old clan leader, to secretly fight with the four major tribes in the two realms.
People are connected.”
Shang Xia thought for a moment and said, "Why the four major tribes and not the Changbai Holy Land?"
Shang Tai smiled directly and said: "If you are dealing with Changbai Holy Land, do you still need to be so secretive? There is no need to send Yan Qi. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Yan Qi is just a servant of my merchant with some status.
.”
Shang Xia nodded subconsciously. Although he did not regard Yan Qi as a servant in his heart, that was indeed the case in the eyes of outsiders.
Because they have to wait for news from Yan Qi, it is naturally impossible for Shang Xia to return to Tongyou City.
However, three days later, Shang Xia did not wait for news from Yan Qi. Instead, an invitation was sent to the merchant's residence, asking Shang Xia to speak to him by name.
"Who? Gai Qingzhu?"
Shang Xia took the invitation from Shang Tai in surprise, half asking and half muttering to himself: "He has just advanced to the fourth heaven and is uneasy about consolidating his cultivation. What should he do with me at this time?"
Shang Tai shook his head and said, "I didn't know that the person who came to send the invitation just left this invitation and left without saying anything."
Although Shang Xia was wondering why Gai Qingzhu wanted to invite him to meet him, he always had to give face to this newly promoted fourth-level person.
The next day, there was still no news from Yan Qi.
Shang Xia originally wanted to find two family elders, Shang Jian and Shang Xi, to inquire about Yan Qi, but Shang Jian had returned to Tongyou City not long ago.
It is said that his two sons, Shang Bei and Shang Dong, have reached the edge of advancing to the martial arts realm, and Shang Jian needs to go back to take care of their promotion.
Shangxi, on the other hand, has been practicing hard in seclusion in his residence since the trade fair.
Although Shang Xi has completed the third transformation of martial arts will and successfully advanced to the third level of martial arts realm, his cultivation speed is already very good among martial artists of his generation.
However, as far as his own cultivation is concerned, he is far inferior to his nephew Shang Xia. As an elder, Shang Xi must be lying if he says there is no pressure in his heart. In desperation, Shang Xia could only hold the invitation and go there.
The college center station sits in the middle of the slope.
This location is extremely easy to find because of the huge fake wooden nest built specifically for the thunderbird community.
On that day, Gai Qingzhu completed the qualitative transformation from the martial arts realm to the martial evil realm in a secret room near this generation.
After the arrival of Shang Xia, a disciple of Neishe who had experienced in the two realms of war soon came forward and called him "senior brother" and led him to a quiet room in an attic.
Obviously, Gai Qingzhu, who had just completed his promotion to the fourth heaven, did not leave seclusion, but met Shang Xia directly in his quiet room.
At the trading venue that day, under the gaze of everyone, and because Gai Qingzhu didn't want to attract too much attention, Shang Xia didn't observe him carefully at that time.
At this time, Deacon Gai was successfully promoted, and his demeanor and temperament changed significantly. His whole person looked more elegant and free and easy, making people feel as if they were taking a breath of spring breeze before even opening a conversation.
"Shang Xia has met Mr. Gai!"
There has not yet been a fourth-level deacon in Tongyou Academy. Even if there were, after successfully advancing to the fourth level, he would be quickly promoted to the first-level supervisor, working with the three deacons of the Department of Education: Wai, Nei, and Shang San She.
The decrees were consistent, so the Shang and Xia people did not address him as "deacon", but directly called Gai Qingzhu "sir".
Gai Qingzhu smiled and nodded. He didn't know if he agreed with Shang Xia's name for him, or if he was just being polite.
"Does the small business talisman still need the nine-leaf lotus flower now?"
Gai Qingzhu got straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.
Shang Xia obviously didn't expect that Gai Qingzhu would be so direct. After being slightly startled, he quickly reacted and said quickly: "The disciple is of course in urgent need, but the nine-leaf lotus that the disciple needs must be picked on the summer solstice.
Can."
Gai Qingzhu smiled and did not answer the question directly, but said: "Xiao Shang Talisman is confused. You also mentioned the nine-leaf lotus to Gai at the trade fair that day, but Gai denied that he owned it at that time.
Object?"
Shang Xia was stunned for a moment, but he had this doubt in his heart, but he quickly smiled and said: "I think there is a reason for coming, sir."
Gai Qingzhu nodded and said: "The Nine-leaf Lotus is also necessary for Gao to advance to the fourth level of heaven."
Shang Xia immediately understood that Gai Qingzhu’s advanced potion must use Nine-leaf Lotus, so there was no reason to give it to Shang Xia.
It's just that Gai Qingzhu specially called him here this time, obviously not to tell him that the Nine-leaf Lotus had been used by him.
Thinking of this, Shang Xia's heart stirred. Thinking of the rumor that Gai Qingzhu had obtained a pool of spiritual lotus, he suddenly thought of some possibility, and his originally doubtful eyes suddenly became eager.
Gai Qingzhu smiled and said: "I guess you have already thought of it. There are indeed two nine-leaf lotus flowers in the pool of spiritual lotuses that Gai got. But before he advanced to the fourth heaven, Gai himself did not dare to say that he could be sure.
Success, therefore, the news about another nine-leaf lotus flower must be concealed for emergencies."
Shang Xia nodded, naturally agreeing with Gai Qingzhu's approach.
Gai Qingzhu paused, then continued: "Fortunately, Gai is very lucky, and his promotion to the fourth heaven was relatively smooth, so that nine-leaf lotus plant was saved. Naturally, he doesn't mind making a deal with Xiao Shang Talisman Master.
"
Shang Xia had calmed down from the excitement just now. After hearing the words, he pondered for a while and said, "May I ask, sir, that the other nine-leaf lotus has not been picked yet?"
Gai Qingzhu replied: "The rumors are actually true. Gai has indeed obtained a 'pond' of spiritual lotus. Naturally, he has to occupy the pond! And now it is almost late spring and early summer, and the summer solstice is not far away.
