Do not die
Chapter 105: Self-made foundation, sudden consumption
After hearing Meng Zhou's words, Chu Zheng's first reaction was not shock, but confusion.
"Brother, what do you say?"
Meng Zhou stared at Chu Zheng for a while and suddenly said: "Actually, I should know this truth better than other practitioners!"
"What do I know?" Chu Zheng was confused.
"You have been responsible for the Nuanyun Valley Professionals Association from beginning to end. You should have a deep understanding of the power of professionals after they become large-scale.
Then think about it, if all the professionals in the Qingxuan Domain can be brought into the upcoming Emerald Lake Fairy City, how powerful will it be? "Meng Zhou didn't whet Chu Zheng's appetite and directly revealed the answer to the mystery.
"Hiss~~" Chu Zheng gasped suddenly. The impact of this information on him was too great, making him a little confused and sluggish for a moment: "This... this... how could it be?"
"Why not?"
Meng Zhou sighed:
"Eighty years ago, when Qingxuan Sect became the nominal master of Qingxuan Domain, everyone has been waiting for Qingxuan Sect to make a move!
Now, after eighty years of sharpening the knife, it is finally ready.
It's just that it's different from what everyone thinks.
On the contrary, the destruction of the Mo family with thunderous means was more in line with everyone's expectations. "
Chu Zheng thought about it seriously and nodded in approval.
He is seventy-five years old and has experienced almost the entire Qingxuan Sect era.
Even counting from the time he entered the practice circle, he had gone through most of the Qingxuan Sect era.
So, at this point, he felt even more profoundly.
In the Qingxuan Territory, except among very close relatives and close friends, it is rarely discussed, but one topic that everyone will ponder is, "Qingxuan Sect, the nominal lord of the Qingxuan Territory, Will it cause trouble? It must happen, right? But when will it happen? How will it happen?"
As a member of Qingxuan Realm, this is closely related to every practitioner, and we cannot help but think about it more.
Now, Qingxuanzong has finally started to work vigorously. It is not surprising, but it feels as if the boots have finally landed.
What is really surprising is that the way it is done is different from what everyone expected.
"But I still can't figure it out. Why are you bothering casual cultivators like this?" Chu Zheng still shook his head to express his confusion.
Meng Zhou said: "They are not deliberately targeting casual cultivators, this is just one aspect of their efforts to reshape the cultivation order of the entire Qingxuan Domain.
As for the impact on professionals, I guess there are several reasons.
Qingxuanzong probably felt that it was too easy for professionals to earn spiritual stones and lacked enough pressure, so they wanted to squeeze in and force them.
Then there’s the scale I’m talking about.
Nowadays, many professionals are scattered in various spiritual places. There are self-sufficient casual cultivators, and many belong to different forces.
On the one hand, efficiency is low; on the other hand, communication between professionals has also become difficult, and there are many man-made and geographical barriers. "
At first, Meng Zhou didn't think in this direction.
But Qingxuanzong's behavior these days made him full of doubts.
On the one hand, in the past, many foundation-building experts risked their lives to obtain the third-level treasures, but now they are put on the auction stage in large quantities by Qingxuan Sect. It seems that as long as you have the spirit stone, you will not worry about buying it. arrival posture.
Qingxuanzong used this to harvest a large amount of spiritual stones. This is a fact.
But this move will inevitably create more and more powerful fake elixir and even elixir-forming experts who are not under the Qingxuan Sect, which is also an indisputable fact.
Not to mention the larger number of second-level treasures including Foundation Establishment Pills.
Taking the Foundation Establishment Pill as a guide, when its price is really reduced to less than 12,000 low-grade spiritual stones, the number of Foundation Establishments in the Qingxuan Domain will increase dramatically, and the average strength of those veteran Foundation Establishments will also increase. A big jump.
From this aspect, Qingxuan Sect is not very friendly towards the practitioners of non-direct lineage forces in Qingxuan Domain, at least there is not much resentment or hostility.
Selecting the best from these new casual cultivators to support them is even more powerful evidence.
But on the other hand, Meng Zhou also did not believe that Qingxuan Sect had the heart of a Bodhisattva and wanted to send blessings and rain to all practitioners in the Qingxuan domain, regardless of whether they were close or distant.
Meng Zhou was very puzzled by this and could not figure out the real intention of Qingxuanzong.
It was not until he was in the Hexin Building that Qingxuan Zhenzhen Hao Zhen casually mentioned a sentence that suddenly made him feel enlightened.
Many doubts about Qingxuanzong's actions were suddenly answered.
After listening to Meng Zhou's words, Chu Zheng fell into a long silence.
After a long time, he said in a difficult voice: "So, the association... is going to be over?!"
Chu Zheng did not question the source and reliability of the information disclosed by Meng Zhou. He only made deductions based on what Meng Zhou provided.
Then, he found helplessly that in the face of such a torrent, the Professionals Association was like a simple toy that a child put together casually, with no resistance at all.
As soon as it rushes, it collapses.
Meng Zhou stared at Chu Zheng and slowly shook his head: "Brother, don't you think this is actually an opportunity for the association?"
Chu Zheng hurriedly asked: "Brother Zhou, are you saying that the association can still be saved?"
Meng Zhou said: "Whether the association is finished or not, whether it is saved or not, depends not only on changes in the general trend, but in fact, it also depends on the choices of you and other people in power in the association!"
Chu Zheng was startled, "Brother, do you have any ideas? You might as well say it more clearly!"
"Brother, tell me, if a large number of professionals in the Qingxuan Domain are concentrated in the Immortal City, wouldn't it be equivalent to a larger Nuanyun Valley?"
Chu Zheng's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "You mean, the model of the Professionals Association will be spread directly into the fairy city?"
But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Chu Zheng shook his head and said:
"Isn't this a fight with Qingxuanzong in the ring?
With our little ability, we can show off our prestige in Nuanyun Valley, with little arms and legs. How can we be different from Qingxuan Sect? ! "
Meng Zhou shook his head and corrected:
"Brother, thanks to you being the veteran of the association, why do you think that the association is trying to compete with the Qingxuan Sect?
With so many professionals gathered in Fairy City, in order to create a scale effect and achieve the high efficiency expected by Qingxuan Sect, it is impossible to let them go their own way without overall planning, right?
You always need a coordinating helper, right? ! "
After listening to Meng Zhou's words, Chu Zheng's eyes brightened again, but he soon shook his head again and said:
I understand what you mean. Do you want the association to play this role?
But is this some wishful thinking?
It’s not like Qingxuan Sect doesn’t have such an important responsibility, so why should we leave it to us? ! "
Meng Zhou shook his head: "Professionals, especially those with higher levels, are more professional.
When a layman guides an expert, it is more likely to cause problems and make jokes, and the results will be very bad.
Therefore, this helper can only be found from within the professional group! "
Chu Zheng thought for a while and nodded in agreement with this statement.
Meng Zhou asked again: "One more thing, have you forgotten the nature of the fairy city?"
"Nature? What nature?" Chu Zheng was confused and stunned.
“The Immortal City is not owned by the Qingxuan Sect, but is built by inviting all qualified participants in the Qingxuan Domain.
Ownership is also shared by everyone!
Qingxuan Sect may have trained a large number of high-level professional monks in Qinglin Peak, but do you think Qingxuan Sect will use up nearly a hundred years of accumulation in Qinglin Peak in order to run the fairy city well? "
Chu Zheng fell into deep thought.
"Qingxuan Sect has attracted so many forces to join, isn't it just to be able to legitimately make other forces bleed and contribute?"
"So, I conclude that in all matters related to Immortal City, Qingxuanzong will try its best to avoid directly and personally solving problems."
Having said this, Meng Zhou dipped his fingers in some water, randomly drew vertical and horizontal lines on the table, and drew circles where they intersected each other.
“In the eyes of Qingxuan Zong, Qingxuan Territory is a chessboard, Immortal City is even more a chessboard, and all the forces in Qingxuan Territory that are qualified to enter the game are chess pieces.
What Qingxuanzong wants to do now is to be the chess player, not the player in the game!
Whenever possible, they will use the rules on the chessboard and the chess pieces in the game to solve problems! "
Chu Zheng stared at the water stains on the table, "So, what do you mean, let the association work hard to enter the game and become a valuable chess piece in this game?"
Meng Zhou nodded.
Chu Zheng did not comment on Meng Zhou’s suggestion itself, but simply said: “With our current strength, we are not qualified to enter the game even if we stand on tiptoe!”
Meng Zhou said: "This is what I said at the beginning. Whether the association can seize this opportunity and leapfrog depends on both the general trend and you!"
"How do you say this?"
"The professional atmosphere in Nuanyun Valley has been around for a long time. It's impossible for everyone to be stuck in Qi training and level one professional level, right?"
Chu Zheng nodded and said: "Of course, I know a few people who are successful in building foundations and have advanced to the second level of their profession.
However, none of them have anything to do with me. I heard that some of the established forces in the valley have a close relationship with them, and even many professionals in the valley have been mentored by them.
To be honest, this can be regarded as a master-disciple relationship.
Do you want to connect with them through these connections? "
At this point, he glanced at Meng Zhou, shook his head and said, "A casual cultivator who has reached such a high level will not be bound by this old friendship."
What he said was actually rather euphemistic. Casual cultivators who have reached a certain height have a "ruthless" side in their hearts.
In order for the road to go smoothly, when they feel that everything in the past has become a fetter, they will not hesitate to cut off those past with their swords so that they can move forward lightly.
The "Brother Zhou" in front of me is a living example.
Meng Zhou said softly: "But what if we invite them to formally join the association and become Hua Shi members?"
Chu Zheng was surprised and said: "It's not appropriate for them to become Hua Shi members..."
Chu Zheng originally thought that it would be inappropriate to invite foundation-building monks and second-level professionals to sit on equal terms with them.
But as he spoke, his voice became quieter, and finally, he simply shut up and stopped talking.
Now, he finally understands what Meng Zhou said at the beginning: "The survival of the association depends on the choice of you, the people in power."
To put it bluntly, it is actually very simple. The association model itself, its potential and vitality, and its attraction to other professionals are unquestionable.
But the most critical problem now is that the strength of these first batch of heads is too low, and their small arms and legs cannot carry them.
They now have two choices. One is to drag the newly born Professionals Association with them and sink together under the torrent of the general trend.
Then there is the collective handover, looking for a group of stronger successors who can take the association further, so that they can carry the association forward and move towards a more glorious future!
By doing this, people like them will certainly lose a lot, but they will also gain a lot.
Seeing that Chu Zheng fell silent and fully understood his thoughts, Meng Zhou also chose to keep quiet.
After a long time, Chu Zheng let out a long sigh and said slowly: "Brother, I have actually been convinced by you. However, this matter is too closely related and cannot be decided by me alone."
Meng Zhou nodded to express his understanding and did not continue to comment on this issue.
"It's you, brother, what do you think?" Chu Zheng asked directly.
Chu Zheng asked the question straightforwardly, and Meng Zhou also answered directly:
"Didn't my brother give me a membership membership? I want to keep this qualification!"
Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this and said:
"This... is what's the use of my consent?
If this thing really works as you said, from now on, all members of the association will be foundation-building monks, seniors of the second level of the profession.
Even if I agree to put you on a par with them, they won't be able to agree either! "
Meng Zhou shook his head and said: "Brother, don't worry, there will naturally be people who are qualified to be on par with them.
Regardless of cultivation level or professional level, he will not be worse than them! "
When Chu Zheng heard this, he was puzzled at first, and then looked at Meng Zhou in shock: "You...are you going to break through the foundation building?"
Meng Zhou shook his head: "It's not me. This is a gift I prepared for my master."
"Master? Brother, you still have a master, why have I never heard of you mentioning it?"
Today, Chu Zheng's mood has not calmed down. In his impression, this brother Zhou has always been a casual cultivator. He has been in Nuanyun Valley for so long, and he has never heard him say that there is a sect behind him.
A smile appeared on Meng Zhou's face and he explained: "This is what happened after I left Nuanyun Valley. It's normal for you not to know."
"You just joined?" Chu Zheng said softly, with some doubts on his face.
According to his understanding, serious forces train their children from scratch.
The first step is to cultivate their character, knowledge, and friendship with the forces they belong to. This is even more important than teaching the method of practice itself.
To be able to absorb the power of a casual cultivator who is over fifty years old, no matter how you think about it, you don't think it is a serious approach.
With doubts in his heart, Chu Zheng asked directly: "Excuse me for being presumptuous, brother, what is the name of the sect you joined?"
"Qihuang Gate." Meng Zhou said.
Hearing this name, Chu Zheng's doubts were not eliminated, but became more.
Because he has never heard of this name.
"Please forgive my ignorance, brother. What kind of force is this Qihuang Sect? Why have I never heard of it?
It stands to reason that with a foundation-building monk sitting in charge and a second-level professional force, his reputation would be somewhat spread within the Qingxuan Territory, right? "
Meng Zhou smiled and said, "Then let me tell you."
At this moment, Meng Zhou, whose thoughts were racing at high speed, had already weaved a rough outline of the fictitious "Qihuang Gate" in his mind.
There is no doubt that this Qihuangmen was made up by him.
This was the fundamental reason why he asked Yu Peng to call his teacher over.
As for the suggestions that professional associations "take the initiative to join the game" and "update", they are all serving this ultimate goal.
The reason why he did this was because he was full and had nothing to do.
But it has to be done!
According to Meng Zhou's idea, if he could just find a place to grow up safely and quietly, then why go through all the trouble.
Just keep practicing and keep getting stronger.
But as he became more and more familiar with the practice environment, Meng Zhou discovered that this was not an easy task.
During the Qi training stage, this is easy to do.
As long as he doesn't take the initiative to look for trouble, trouble will basically not come to him.
Even if he changes places and takes on a new identity from time to time, he won't attract any strange looks.
Because in Qingxuan Territory, there are enough qi-training monks, and there are also a lot of qi-training casual cultivators, and the growth of qi-training monks is simpler.
If a person from the mortal world has good talent and good luck, it would not be that shocking to achieve something in the Qi training stage within a dozen years or even a few years.
Even with the power of the Qingxuan Sect, it is impossible to know every qi-training monk in the Qingxuan Domain.
Therefore, it would not be too surprising when a strange qi training talent that no one knows appears from time to time and reaches the threshold of foundation building as soon as he appears.
However, after the foundation was established, it was no longer that simple.
The simplest fact.
If a foundation-building monk wants to continue to grow and progress, he has extremely high requirements for the spiritual quality of his training environment. Only the second-level spiritual veins can provide such a training environment!
Not to mention, the breakthrough from Qi training to foundation building also requires second-level spiritual veins!
There are countless second-level spiritual veins in the entire Qingxuan Domain, only sixteen in total.
Passing geese leave behind photos, and passing people leave traces.
It is not that difficult to trace the past of a foundation-building monk.
As long as the Qingxuan Sect is willing to spend a lot of money to track down, the traces of every foundation-building monk in the Qingxuan Domain can be found.
Therefore, it would be very problematic if he still wanted to act as if he were practicing Qi, changing his identity and starting over from time to time in a new place.
However, as long as you don't do anything too outrageous during the entire foundation building stage and don't attract the attention of Qingxuan Sect, there is basically no big problem.
The real problem lies in the third-order spiritual veins, which are rarer than the second-order spiritual veins.
In the past, there was only Qinglin Peak in the entire Qingxuan Domain. Now, there will be a new one, and there are only two.
This is the only place to pass before building the foundation to the next level, and it is also necessary to continue practicing after forming the elixir.
Meng Zhou believed that it was impossible for Qingxuan Sect to give such an important resource to a "pure newcomer" with a blank past and no roots to trace back!
This is a bargaining chip used by Qingxuanzong to win over controllable forces, but it is not a real charity.
Therefore, he must prepare for a rainy day from now on.
For Meng Zhou, who has just established his foundation, this seems to be still far away.
But this is the time to make preparations and foreshadowing. If you wait until you really need to think about this matter, it will be too late.
Of course, the Qingxuan Domain is not the only place in the world. Outside of the Qingxuan Domain, there are other domains, and there are other third-order spiritual veins.
Nor does he have only one choice.
The greater significance of his doing this is to lay a foundation for the future and create opportunities.
"Qihuangmen" is a bold attempt to create a foothold for oneself.
…
"Brother, it's normal that you haven't heard of Qihuang Sect, because this Qihuang Sect is very different from other sects you know.
Because it specializes in Qi Huang Dao, well, if you don’t understand, you can simply understand it as Pharmacist Dao. "
"Pharmacist? Is this a force composed of pharmacists?" Chu Zheng said in surprise.
And his heart, which was originally full of doubts, suddenly became much more relaxed.
Because pharmacist is a profession that inherently makes people feel safe and relax their vigilance.
"You can use the word pharmacist to understand it, but in my sect, we still prefer to call it Qihuang." Meng Zhou emphasized.
Chu Zheng asked doubtfully: "Is there any difference?"
Meng Zhou said:
"The difference is huge. The value of a pharmacist is to treat others.
But Qihuang Yiyi is different. Healing others is just incidental. Its real core lies in exploring the mysteries of the human body in order to prolong life and achieve longevity.
Most of the monks in the Qihuang Sect live longer than other monks at the same level, but there are gains and losses, so the Qihuang Sect is not good at fighting.
It is troublesome, and he rarely saves others. Even if he does occasionally, he will keep a low profile as much as possible and conceal his origin. "
"On the other hand, there are very few people in Qihuang Sect because the threshold for entry is too high.
In order to find a suitable disciple, the elders of the sect may even search in various regions. "
"Going through various regions? The Qihuang Sect is not in the Qingxuan Region?" Chu Zheng asked doubtfully.
Meng Zhou said: "Qihuang Sect is different from the sect you understand. It does not have a fixed mountain gate location.
The core is inheritance, and where the inheritance is, the roots will be rooted.
If the inheritance is broken, the root will be gone. "
Ever since Meng Zhou introduced the "Qihuang Sect", Chu Zheng's expression had been a little dull.
It was obvious that he did not take Meng Zhou's remarks completely to heart.
Naturally, Meng Zhou also knew that this rhetoric was just a seed planted in his heart in advance. It was unfounded and the real trump card lay elsewhere.
Meng Zhou said: "I know I don't believe it, but I have my own means to make you believe it."
As he said that, he looked around and said: "This is not suitable. The quality of the spiritual energy is a bit low. I need to find a first-class, high-grade room."
Yu Peng, who had been listening to the conversation between the two in the room, finally interrupted: "Uncle Zhou, we have prepared such a residence nearby."
"Oh? Then take us there. Is it far?" Meng Zhou asked.
"Not far."
Yu Peng led Meng Zhou out of the "Tongzi Tower", and within two steps of the alley, they entered a courtyard gate on the opposite side.
This is a two-story independent courtyard. Looking at the area alone, it is almost the same as the Zhang family courtyard.
As soon as the three of them entered the courtyard, a burly figure emerged from the house.
When the figure saw Meng Zhou, a look of surprise flashed across his face. He quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully and said, "Mr. Zhou!"
This person is Yan Xiong.
Meng Zhou also smiled and chatted with him, and was surprised at the speed of the other person's growth.
Now, he has made considerable progress since he first left Nuanyun Valley. He is now at the ninth level of Qi training, and his aura is very stable.
Meng Zhou guessed in his heart that the association should have spent a lot of resources on him, and he himself was very up to date and did not let external resources take over. The foundation remained solid.
The four of them entered the house. On the ground in the center of the living room, a tied-up figure was lying weakly. Who could it be if it wasn't Du He.
Seeing Meng Zhou and others come in, Du He opened his eyes, ignored the others, stared directly at Chu Zheng, and shouted in a low voice: "Old thief Chu Zheng, do you want to kill me, let me go, or are you going to tie me up?" Until when?"
Chu Zheng said: "When you agree to join the association, I will loosen your bonds."
Du He curled his lips, glanced at Yan Xiong, and said disdainfully: "Like him, do you want to be a dog for your association, and then give me two bones to eat?"
Meng Zhou glanced at him in surprise.
But Chu Zheng and Yan Xiong both had normal expressions on their faces and passed him directly, as if they were already immune to such words.
"The quality of the spiritual energy here is sufficient... let's arrange a quiet room that is sufficient for practice." Meng Zhou said.
Soon, several people came to the door of a house. Meng Zhou said to Yu Peng and Yan Xiong: "You guys stay guard outside."
After entering the room, Meng Zhou motioned Chu Zheng to sit cross-legged on the stone couch and enter a state of cultivation.
Chu Zheng smiled and said: "Ah, I haven't practiced formally for many years."
Meng Zhou said: "In this case, in order to ensure the maximum final effect, you first try to practice formally and find out the feeling."
While Chu Zheng was searching for a sense, he smiled and chatted with Meng Zhou: "Brother, you said that Qihuang Clan is not good at fighting. This is obviously untenable.
Du He is already at the peak of the ninth level of Qi training, and his talent in combat is recognized throughout Nuanyun Valley.
I can be subdued so easily by you, but you say that Qihuangmen is not good at fighting? "
Meng Zhou smiled and said: "It depends on who you compare with. Compared with the leader of a small gang, you not only underestimate me, but also underestimate the Qihuangmen."
Chu Zheng only thought he was being quibbley, shook his head and said with a smile:
"Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether Qihuangmen or not Qihuangmen.
I am someone who is ready to step down. I don’t really care who you want to talk about membership.
I'm just worried about what pit you've fallen into. If you really insist, I will work hard to facilitate this. "
Meng Zhou rolled his eyes and said, "I really want to convince you today."
"I'm waiting. Let's see what surprise you can give me!"
Chu Zheng said and began to slowly enter the cultivation state.
His cultivation has been stuck at the sixth level of Qi training for who knows how many years. He has tried to attack countless times, but failed every time.
Moreover, every time he fails to forcefully pass the level, he will accelerate his aging and his potential will become increasingly exhausted.
So, he accepted his fate.
I have long since given up on the path of spiritual practice.
It has been many years since I practiced seriously.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and said to Meng Zhou sitting beside him, "Okay."
At this moment, Meng Zhou was holding two white jade bottles in his hands.
"Reach out your hand," Meng Zhou said.
Chu Zheng honestly stretched out his hand.
Meng Zhou poured five pills into his palm.
"You can take a look before taking it."
Meng Zhou reminded Chu Zheng as he looked at the pill in his hand with his eyes widened.
Chu Zheng said in surprise: "Life-Extension Pill!... Hey, high-quality Life-Extension Pill?... No, no..."
Although Chu Zheng has always been an alchemist, as a member of the decision-making team of the Professionals Association, he has experienced countless first-level elixirs, so he is naturally no stranger to first-level high-quality longevity elixirs.
At first glance, he judged that the pill in his hand was the Life-Extension Pill, but as he looked carefully, he found that it was much different from the Life-Extension Pill in his impression.
But in the end, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Brother, you said Naqi Huangmen. I kind of believe it. Do you want me to take this life-extending pill? ... Unfortunately, I took one a long time ago. This thing is useless to me."
Meng Zhou chuckled and said, "Whether it's useful or not, you won't know until you use it."
"You let me use it?" Chu Zheng asked in surprise.
"Of course, even if it doesn't work, just treat it like you swallowed a jelly bean, and it won't kill anyone. What are you afraid of?"
"Are you serious?" Chu Zheng confirmed again, but his expression became serious unknowingly.
"How boring am I to make a joke like this to you?!"
Chu Zheng nodded, sat cross-legged, raised his head, and swallowed a life-extending pill.
Soon, a mild and long-lasting medicinal power spread from the abdomen to the entire body.
At this moment, a hand was placed on his back, and from that palm, there was a strange power containing endless vitality.
This power combined with the power of the longevity pill produced a wonderful effect.
It was like oil meeting fire, causing a violent reaction in his body.
He just felt that this decayed body that had long become dull and stubborn was being rekindled with vitality.
Just when he regretted that the life-extending pill had lost its power, another pill entered his stomach down his throat.
"The longevity pill, Ju...can actually be taken multiple times!"
Chu Zheng was shocked, but at this moment, he had no time to think too much. The power of the longevity pill had bloomed in his belly, like the supreme nectar, continuing to improve his decayed body.
The power of five life-extending pills exploded in his body, and combined with the guidance of the mysterious and vital power given by "Brother Zhou", he felt more than twenty years younger.
Because he failed to forcefully pass the level many times, his physical condition was much worse than the normal state for his age.
But now, he felt like he was back to the state of being less than sixty years old again.
Although this is still an old state, for him, it is a feeling that he has not experienced in many years. He is young and full of vitality.
"If I can break through at this time, I must have a great chance of breaking through to the late stage of Qi training, right?"
Chu Zheng thought in his heart, as a cultivator, how could he really lose interest in furthering his cultivation.
However, the shadow of failing to pass the level again and again quickly came to his mind, making him timid and ready to give up.
At this moment, another pill entered his stomach.
It wasn't until the potion exploded in his belly that he was shocked: "Isn't it a longevity pill?"
And as the power of this new elixir was fully integrated with his magic power, which was at the peak of the sixth level of Qi training, he felt that his magic power was full of vitality, and he was eager to try, want to sprint, and want to gallop.
He didn't do anything, just watched, and saw that the magic power in his body easily broke through the iron wall that once blocked him from going further.
Since then, his cultivation has advanced to the seventh level of Qi training.
In the later stage of Qi training, it was so easy to break through!
Chu Zheng was still sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly adjusting his breath, stabilizing his magic power, and calming his mind.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Meng Zhou, his expression full of excitement.
"Qihuang Gate? Qihuang Gate!"
He murmured softly, and suddenly stood up and bowed to Meng Zhou.
Meng Zhou quickly stepped forward to help him up and said:
"Brother, what are you doing?
If you have something to say, just say it. Why do you need such a generous gift? "
Chu Zheng felt ashamed and said, "This little old man is so blind that he actually tries to speculate on the high sect with his pitiful knowledge!"
He knew how much favor he had received this time.
With the help of several Life-Extension Pills and Realm-Breaking Pills, his life span has been extended for more than twenty years, and his cultivation has broken through from the sixth level of Qi Cultivation to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation.
And as the body became active again and broke through the stubborn bottleneck between the middle and late stages of Qi training, the subsequent eighth and ninth levels of Qi training were basically a matter of course as long as there was a sufficient supply of elixirs.
Although, at his current age, Zhu Ji wouldn't dare think about it.
But being able to reach the peak of Qi training is something he never dared to dream about before!
He has taken the Life Extension Pill and the Realm Breaking Pill. Logically speaking, these two pills should be ineffective.
But the facts let him know that those absolute perceptions only showed that he was short-sighted.
However, apart from the magic of the elixir...
Chu Zheng heard again the wonderful force full of vitality that "Brother Zhou" sent into his body through his palms.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stare at Meng Zhou's palm curiously.
Meng Zhou smiled and explained:
“This is a blood talent inspired by the teacher after meeting him and his help.
He said it was related to the White Lotus spirit body. I asked him carefully, but he didn't say anything.
However, it was precisely because of this hidden talent that I was able to be chosen by him and included in his door. "
Chu Zheng suddenly realized.
"No wonder, no wonder, I used to think that your talent as a pharmacist was a bit scary, but it turns out you have a special spirit? So it's not surprising!"
From then on, he no longer had any doubts about the Qihuang Sect mentioned by Meng Zhou, and he also eliminated a doubt from a long time ago.
Facts speak louder than words.
Now, he can only sigh in his heart that Brother Zhou is so lucky that he has met the legendary fate.
However, that is also because Brother Zhou has great potential and has a hidden spiritual body.
Chu Zheng, who fully accepted the existence of a hidden force like Qihuang Clan, began to completely stand on Meng Zhou's side and consider issues for him.
"Brother, do you have any specific ideas for retaining such a Huashi membership for your master?
For example, what do you want to achieve through this identity? …If it’s inconvenient, just pretend I didn’t ask. "
Meng Zhou said: "Brother, there is nothing that cannot be said to you.
As you have just seen, our Qihuang Sect's abilities are somewhat counterintuitive. It would not be a good thing if we get too much attention. "
Chu Zheng nodded solemnly.
"So, we basically don't act as the Qihuang Sect, but use another layer of skin. This is also an important reason why the Qihuang Sect has a low reputation."
Chu Zheng said he understood.
"On the other hand, I also hope to earn more spiritual stones through the association." Meng Zhou said.
"Ah?" Chu Zheng's eyes widened in surprise.
Meng Zhou said amusedly: "Brother, you don't think that the disciples of Qihuang Clan don't eat the fireworks of the world, do you?"
"Ah?!" Chu Zheng also reacted and waved his hands quickly: "Of course not."
“In fact, the Qihuang Sect’s demand for spiritual stones and resources is greater than that of ordinary professionals.
Think about it, are those pills with extraordinary effects easily available? "
Chu Zheng also realized that the pills he swallowed seemed to be the same as those with the same name, but they were actually two different things.
At this point, he suddenly reacted, opened his eyes wide and looked at Meng Zhou.
"Brother, you mean that you still have such elixirs on you and are willing to sell them to the association?"
Meng Zhou smiled and nodded.
Chu Zheng hurriedly asked: "How many are there specifically?"
Meng Zhou said: "One hundred and sixty-five life-extending pills, and one hundred and sixty-nine realm-breaking pills."
Chu Zheng's eyes widened, as if they were shining: "How much?"
Meng Zhou said it again.
Chu Zheng suddenly jumped off the bed and walked back and forth in the room. He seemed to have thought of something exciting, and he would fist-bump and clap his hands from time to time.
After a while, Chu Zheng finally stopped and said: "Brother, I am sure to convince those old guys!"
"ah?"
"Do you know what is the biggest obstacle to convincing them?" Chu Zheng asked.
Meng Zhou said: "Don't want to lose power?"
Chu Zheng shook his head:
“The qualification of Huashi membership is both a right and a responsibility.
Now that the abilities of our group of people are no longer enough to support the continued development of the association, it is only natural to hand it over to people who are better able to handle the task.
Therefore, it is actually not that difficult to convince them to let go of this burden. "
“So what’s the biggest obstacle?”
"It's the spiritual stone in the association's account!" Chu Zheng said.
"Ah?!" This time Meng Zhou stared in surprise, unable to recover.
However, this was only for a moment, and he soon came to his senses and said, "There are a lot of spiritual stones in the association's account now?"
Chu Zheng nodded first, then shook his head, but did not tell Meng Zhou the specific number.
Meng Zhou speculated that these association executives who had direct access to this huge sum of money had made certain relevant oaths to prevent them from inadvertently leaking it to the outside world.
After all, this is the core secret of the association.
Meng Zhou didn't need to know the specific amount, he just needed to know a lot.
He also somewhat understood what Chu Zheng meant by obstacles.
To put it simply, there are too many spiritual stones in the public account, and they are subject to certain restrictions and cannot be divided privately.
But to leave them to the second term like this, just thinking about it, probably makes people feel heartbroken.
If so, maybe there are people who would rather watch the association wither.
No matter what, these spiritual stones will never wither.
Not everyone has such deep feelings for the association like Chu Zheng.
If the association is gone, it will be gone. As long as the spiritual stone is still there, where can we not practice?
"So, what's your idea?"
Chu Zheng said:
"In the association, although all Huashi members have first-level high-level professional standards, their cultivation levels are basically at the seventh level or eighth level of Qi training. Moreover, they are all quite old, with the youngest being sixty-five years old.
There are only two people at the ninth level of Qi training, one is nearly ninety years old, and the other is in his nineties! "
Meng Zhou said softly: "So, they have extremely strong demand for the Life Extension Pill and the Realm Breaking Pill!"
Chu Zheng nodded, then shook his head and said:
"They have all taken the Life-Extension Pill and the Realm-breaking Pill. The normal Life-Extension Pill and the Realm-Breaking Pill are no longer effective for them. This especially shows how valuable these pills are in your hands."
Meng Zhou suddenly nodded: "So, you want to use these resources on them in the form of welfare, so that they will become the direct beneficiary and the plan will naturally proceed?"
Meng Zhou thought for a while, "They can't use up all the elixirs, right?
...Brother, I gave you five life-extending pills, but you should feel that even the life-extending pill in my hand is the most effective one.
The further back you go, the weaker the effect becomes.
For others, I don’t want to be too exaggerated, so whether it’s the Life Extension Pill or the Realm Breaking Pill, I can only take one per person. "
Chu Zheng nodded to express his understanding.
"Don't worry, they won't be able to use it all themselves, and they have family members and disciples who can always find a place to sell it."
Meng Zhou reminded again: "Moreover, when taking these elixirs, I must cooperate with the spells to maximize the effect."
With his assistance, the effect of the medicine can indeed be maximized, but it is more of an excuse. The main thing is that he has to supervise these people to take it personally.
"Understood, don't worry, I will make arrangements!" Chu Zheng had experienced it himself and nodded to express his understanding.
This is the general idea of the plot, but I always feel that the details are a bit rough. Because I am pressed for time and the roundness is not good enough, I will see if I can revise and polish it (I will listen to the latest chapter after each upload to experience it from the perspective of a reader) one time)
