Do not die

Qingxuanzong took 15%, which was a sign of his arrogance. While he was eating meat, he also allowed other people to eat meat at the table, instead of just giving him a little soup.

If not, Qingxuanzong would have just opened his mouth and taken away 50% to 60%. Who would dare to say no?

The fact that Sanchuan Club was able to get so much was because of Chairman Pan's desperate efforts.

From beginning to end, things are basically done by others. I have endured hardships, endured fatigue, and endured fear.

Teng moved left and right, and then he almost hugged the golden doll.

Moreover, the current Sanchuan Society, which seems to be one force, can actually be regarded as an emerging alliance composed of more than a dozen fake elixir forces.

Under such circumstances, naturally no one will question whether today's Sanchuan has this qualification.

But why is the professional association?

He doesn't have the ability of Qingxuanzong, and he doesn't have the real dedication of Sanchuan. It's much worse than the contribution of another ally, the Blue Blood Army, and he is the most opportunistic one.

But in the end, it really succeeded in "stealing the chicken".

In such cooperation, there is no such thing as luck.

After this incident, the Professionals Association instantly enjoyed the careful study of all the forces in the Qingxuan Domain like holding a magnifying glass.

It must be mentioned that the Professionals Association has suddenly emerged in just a few years. From scratch, it has become a well-known force in the entire Qingxuan Territory.

If it were another time, such a miracle would naturally attract the attention of all the forces within the Qingxuan Domain.

Except at this time.

In the past few years, in Qingxuan Territory, every year, every month, and even every day, news that would have been considered explosive in the past came out.

Qingxuanzong made a strong move to destroy a century-old force with a core formation. Isn't it exciting?

Jade Lake has been upgraded to a third-level spiritual land. From now on, non-Qingxuanzong monks will have a safe place to form elixirs, and they can use this spiritual land to continue to improve. Isn't this information exciting?

A certain foundation-building monk who had been dormant for decades took a picture of a third-level spiritual object in the Hexin Tower, and successfully formed an elixir. He surpassed all the fake elixir monks and became a guest of the Qingxuan Sect. The forces behind him were also taken away with him. Is the information exciting?

And the news of this kind of foundation building successfully forming elixirs, and the fake elixir monks abolishing the elixirs and then re-forming the elixirs, are not just two incidents at the same time, but have happened continuously in the past few years.

Every time it happens, many forces and monks are directly or even indirectly affected.

In addition, the disintegration and demise of old forces, or their transformation into a new look, and the rise of new forces are happening frequently everywhere.

Because of the rapid breakdown of every spiritual "fence", a large number of established chambers of commerce with dozens or hundreds of years of history have become "bloody food" in the brutal competition.

There are also emerging chambers of commerce that have sprung up and extended their tentacles to all parts of Qingxuan Territory.

There are also established chambers of commerce that have taken the opportunity to regain their lives and quickly reach new heights that have not been reached for decades or hundreds of years...

Cultivation family...

Gang power...

In such a tide, both individuals and forces are "updating" rapidly. If you hear too much breaking news, no matter how sensitive you are, you will become numb.

If you don't look carefully, there is not much difference between professional associations and those guild-like chambers of commerce organizations that have also blossomed in recent years.

Moreover, because the Professionals Association started a little late, there was not even a trace of oil in the project of upgrading Jade Lake to a third-level spiritual land.

Before Sanchuan Yuan, most of the groups that received the most attention within the Qingxuan Territory were concentrated in the main palace of Cuiyu Lake City, except for the Qingxuan Sect.

Whether or not you catch this train is basically regarded as the watershed that distinguishes the "veteran strong" from the "up-and-comers".

In this turbulent torrent, the vast majority of people are always most concerned about their own future and destiny, and at most they will further expand their horizons to the scope of closely related interests.

Having a global vision and being able to identify the Professionals Association as the most eye-catching one among the eye-catching "trendy" forces, this is an ability that most monks do not possess.

Therefore, the sudden rise of the Professionals Association has certainly attracted a lot of attention, but it is far from reaching the current level of collective attention from all forces.

Now, professional associations enjoy such treatment.

After conducting a careful and slice-by-section study of professional associations, those voices questioning the “why” of professional associations quickly disappeared.

Those forces who once hid their senior professionals like treasures for fear of being "tarnished" by the Professionals Association took the initiative to send them into the Professionals Association, join the membership, and then questioned the current presidents who were "eating with their corpses" And the senior executives asked, "Why do you do this?" !

Wait, FireWire membership... Is the Professionals Association a public XX? You can join if you want to?

Yes, yes.

After careful study, many forces discovered belatedly that the Professionals Association looked no different from ordinary forces at first glance.

But in fact, its core logic is fundamentally different from ordinary forces. Its biggest "secret" is that it has unique "public" and "open" attributes.

The core purpose of the Professionals Association is to be "the supportive home for all professionals."

Any monk, even if he has a grudge against the current president, as long as he is a professional, theoretically, the president cannot deprive him of his qualifications to join the association.

Of course, this is theoretical.

If a certain president had sat in this position for tens or hundreds of years, he would have built the association into his own iron-clad empire.

Of course, what he says is what he says. Even if he insists on pointing at a certain professional and saying "he is not a professional", he will definitely get the support and approval of everyone in the association.

But the current situation is that, despite all calculations, the association has only been in total only more than six years and less than seven years since its birth.

While the association has grown rapidly, its core leadership has changed several times.

He is truly the "irrefutable president of the association."

As for the strong foundation of the association, among the huge number of professionals with complex foundations, how many of them are die-hard followers of a certain president or a certain senior executive?

The only thing that can unite the association from top to bottom is the core purpose of the association, apart from interests.

After several changes in the core leadership, a consensus has been formed throughout the association that "the purpose of the association is higher than the will of the core leaders such as the president."

If you can do it, do it; if you can't, just replace it.

If the ability of an association member has surpassed the current president and senior management in all aspects, it would be very simple to ask the current core management to move their positions again and let new people with more ability take over.

This kind of behavior, which can be regarded as "treason and injustice" in the eyes of other high-level forces, has been performed several times in the Professional Association.

In other fields, the determination of strength of ability may be vague.

In the professional world, this is very simple.

I can refine elixirs that you can't, and the magic weapons I refine are of higher quality than you, so I'm better than you.

If you are really not convinced, you can have an upright duel in front of all the members.

After thoroughly analyzing the core rules of the Professionals Association, within just a few months, a large number of extremely high-level professionals were added to the Professionals Association.

Among the newly joined professionals, the second-level mid-level ones can only be regarded as "mud ideas" that pull out carrots and bring out the mud.

Among this wave of new professionals, the senior second-level top-level ones are the ones to watch.

Only quasi-third-level professionals have the qualifications to attract attention.

——The so-called quasi-third-level skills mean that one has mastered one or two third-level skills, but is still far from the standard of a true third-level professional, such as spiritual planter, beast master, etc.

Or they may have experience in making third-level finished products, but the success rate and stability are still very lacking, such as alchemists, weapon refiners, talisman makers, etc.

And only true third-level professionals have the aura blessing of "the arrival of the boss".

And it was precisely because of the fate of these people that the Professionals Association quickly completed a new round of version iterations.

In the previous version, Zhu Qian's teacher relied on the strength of a senior second-level high-grade spiritual planter to secure the position of president of a branch that was relatively unpopular at the time.

In this update, the strength of each branch president has been improved as a whole.

And because of Mikawahara's relationship and the efforts of Teacher Zhu Qian, the status of spiritual planter has become a new hot spot.

In this case, it goes without saying that the position of the spiritual planter branch president is very popular.

The newly appointed spiritual planter branch president, according to Zhu Qian, is a senior third-level low-level spiritual planter.

His cultivation level is a bit low, and he only has fake elixir strength. However, given the current situation in Qingxuan Territory, this person may be planning to become a real elixir-forming monk.

Zhu Qian's teacher, the former branch president, ended up with a low-ranking, comforting vice-president position.

Originally, the association wanted to arrange for her to work in Sanchuan Yuan. After all, among the top leaders of the association, she had the most contact with Chairman Pan of Sanchuan Hui, provided the most substantial help, and also had the best personal relationship between the two parties.

Letting her come to Sanchuanyuan will be very helpful for safeguarding the overall interests of the association.

From an objective and rational perspective, Meng Zhou thought there was nothing wrong with this arrangement.

Not only is it beneficial to the association, but it is also beneficial to Zhu Qian’s teacher.

But this proposal completely shattered the emotion that her teacher had been holding on to, and she refused without thinking.

Probably she regarded the arrangement of appearing in front of old friends like President Pan in this way as a kind of trampling and humiliation.

Therefore, she was not satisfied after rejecting this arrangement, and applied for self-exile to "carry out work" in a second-level spiritual vein that had nothing to do with Mikawahara.

Her actions disappointed and disapproved of everyone in the association.

"When you were the president in the past, you also arranged for so many members to come to Sanchuan Plain. The reason is very clear."

"Can't you stand it now?"

“Furthermore, what was the situation in Sanchuan Plain at that time, and what is the situation in Sanchuan Plain now?

This is unacceptable, what else do you want? "

"..."

Words like these were heard in the ears of the master and the disciple, and the lethality could be imagined.

Teacher Zhu Qian's response was to go directly to the second-level spiritual vein and hide there without looking back, looking like she was struck to the point of being autistic.

Zhu Qian naturally pursued her without giving up.

After settling things over there, confirming that the teacher had not completely collapsed, and her mood had stabilized, she left in a hurry and returned to Sanchuan Yuan to deal with some matters.

"..." Meng Zhou felt speechless after hearing this.

Zhu Qian, the teacher, was very talkative in the past, but she has such a fragile mind, what is the difference between her and an immature little girl?

The master and apprentice suddenly found themselves in such an embarrassing situation. It can be said that most of it was her teacher's fault.

On the contrary, it was Zhu Qian's performance that made Meng Zhou quite appreciative.

She didn't just walk away like her teacher and bury her head like an ostrich.

Instead, after settling the teacher, return to Michuan Plain to sort out some things from beginning to end.

She has stayed here for so many years. Because of her teacher's relationship, she was in charge of the team of spiritual planters from the first level to the second level. If she just left so willfully, It's really a bit troublesome.

After she returned this time, she sorted out various matters as quickly as possible.

The association has undergone such drastic changes, and her teacher, the former president, has made such a fuss. Naturally, the spiritual planters arranged by the association in the Sanchuan Club are very aware of it.

It is also conceivable that Zhu Qian, whose identity has become embarrassing, is under great psychological pressure these days.

When she first appeared, it was not difficult to understand her subconscious choking tone when faced with his doubtful inquiries.

But at this moment, she was free from any worries and had settled all matters in Sanchuanyuan.

This place is her last stop in Sanchuan Plain.

She came here specifically to say goodbye to herself. Soon, she would leave Sanchuanyuan to be with her teacher.

Hearing what she said, Meng Zhou felt inexplicably emotional.

When Zhu Qian stood up and was about to leave, Meng Zhou packed a big package with all the spiritual tea that had been harvested but not used up and gave it all to Zhu Qian.

Not only some of the master-quality spiritual tea that had been reserved for her, but also a large amount of spiritual tea processed with the perfect processing technique, were all given to her.

Zhu Qian was holding a piece of high-quality spirit tea weighing more than twenty kilograms, her eyes so wide that she almost dropped it to the ground.

He stammered: "Zhuang...Fellow Taoist Zhuang...this...this..."

High-quality spiritual tea is always sold on the basis of two or even money.

If the more than 20 kilograms he took out were sold into spiritual stones, it would definitely be a large amount of money. More importantly, the spiritual tea she drank today could not be bought with spiritual stones. Arrived.

Meng Zhou said:

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, please don't refuse."

After a pause, he added: "I have received a lot of help from you over the years. After thinking about it, I have nothing to give as a gift. I can barely handle this little souvenir... just accept it."

Hearing what he said, Zhu Qian became even more embarrassed.

Because she thought about it, she didn't expect what kind of help she had given Fellow Daoist Zhuang.

Little did she know that what Meng Zhou valued was not the help itself, but the rare sincerity she showed.

She really treats herself as a friend.

In the past, Kan Yue could barely do it, but now, it is clear that the two of them can no longer return to the state they were in at that time.

Looking at Meng Zhou's gentle and undeniable gaze, the last trace of sullenness that had accumulated in Zhu Qian's heart these days dissipated, and only a warm current flowed through her heart.

She silently put away the spirit tea, finally handed Meng Zhou her hand, and was about to leave.

But suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. Her heart suddenly beat wildly and she became panicked for no reason.

I thought to myself, if fellow Taoist Zhuang asks me to stay at this time, what should I do?

However, when she thought of the "lonely" teacher, her thoughts slowly became firm again.

Just as she was thinking wildly, she felt a strange power pouring out of her palm, passing through her shoulders, all the way down, and pouring into her Dantian.

When this power enters the Dantian, it turns into fist-sized balls of closed power, just like rolling balls.

One, two, three... It wasn't until the ninth power ball appeared and she felt that one more ball would completely burst her Dantian that her hand left her shoulder.

In Zhu Qian's shocked and inexplicable mood, Meng Zhou said:

"The Qingxuan Territory is in chaos right now, and I have nothing to give you. I'll just give you some life-saving means."

"If you encounter danger in the future, just communicate with those white or colorless balls directly with your spiritual consciousness."

"If unfortunately you are seriously injured, use your spiritual consciousness to communicate with those green balls."

"Hey, it's a pity that your Dantian is too small and can't accommodate much."

Meng Zhou finally sighed with regret.

Under his introduction, Zhu Qian's consciousness had already sunk into her Dantian.

Only then did she notice that the nine power balls in her dantian were divided into three groups.

Three white ones, exuding a hint of coldness.

As soon as her consciousness came into contact with them, she knew how to use them.

All you need to do is connect your spiritual consciousness to it, and then stretch out your finger and point in the target direction, and an extremely cold ray will shoot out from your fingertips.

Three colorless stars, before the consciousness has fully come into contact, it feels as if the consciousness is being cut by a sharp instrument, and the sharpness penetrates directly into the depths of the soul.

There are two ways to cast it. One is to point your hand in the direction of the target and turn it into a sharp sword.

One is that one end of the spiritual consciousness is connected to the power ball, and the other end covers the area around the body. The power ball turns into countless fine sword energy and covers the area around the body within the reach of the spiritual consciousness like a storm.

The three green power balls have a strong aura of life and can be used on oneself or others.

Feeling the powerful power contained in the three and nine power balls, Zhu Qian was completely stunned.

Without actual experience, she was not sure what kind of power they had, because any one of them was beyond her scope of knowledge.

An inexplicable feeling arose in her heart.

“It is said that when the Qingxuan Sect’s foundation-building true disciples are traveling outside, the sect will equip them with some life-saving means.

My current life-saving means are no less than theirs, right? "

…

After a while, after sending Zhu Qian away who was almost stupid, Meng Zhou remembered what he did and shook his head with a chuckle.

For the first time, he didn't do much to cover up, and showed half of his skills in front of Zhu Qian. He didn't know whether it was right or not.

He just felt that if Zhu Qian was seriously injured or even died for any reason, he would feel sad.

Then it was done easily.

Originally, he wanted to directly give her a fake elixir puppet at first.

But after thinking about it, I finally replaced it with nine power balls.

"So be it."

Meng Zhou murmured softly, and soon he once again devoted himself to the practice of "Deduction of All Things".

Unknowingly, the world has entered a new reincarnation.

…

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, late at night.

Cultivation progress +45, foundation building nine levels 625/1000.

In this retreat, in addition to improving one's cultivation level, the biggest gain was the amount of White Lotus Spiritual Essence that far exceeded other times.

Previously, at his peak, Meng Zhou had accumulated as many as 244 drops of White Lotus Spiritual Essence.

But in order to level up the third-level spiritual puppet, a lot of money was spent on ripening the second-level spiritual plants.

After that, in order to harvest a large amount of second-level poisonous spiritual plants, seventy-five drops were consumed, and the reserves of White Lotus Spiritual Essence decreased sharply.

It was not until this retreat that the number returned to two hundred and nine drops.

This retreat directly harvested thirty-six drops, and the number of White Lotus Spirit Essence reached 245 drops, setting a new record.

After getting used to it for a while, Meng Zhou's attention fell on a grasshopper in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Last year, she used the method of knotting to create the third-level skill "All Things Deduction". After the knot master also took this opportunity to complete the second-level to third-level transformation, Yaya began to fall into a deep sleep.

Meng Zhou took him into the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and several months have passed, but there is still no sign of waking up.

After observing with his spiritual consciousness for a while and confirming that Yaya was indeed sleeping and there was nothing wrong with her, Meng Zhou finally felt relieved, ended the retreat, and walked out of the quiet room.

It was only at this moment that Meng Zhou finally realized that perhaps Yaya's situation was normal.

On the contrary, it is his own growth rate over the years that is abnormal.

He was used to this abnormality, so he felt that Yaya's normal transformation process was abnormal.

"I am fifty-eight years old. Once next year passes, I will be sixty."

"I should be able to successfully form the elixir before I reach sixty."

Meng Zhou thought so in his heart.

After leaving the quiet room, Meng Zhou routinely checked the status of the two mysterious turtles.

Compared to last year, their breath has become deeper and their power has become more majestic.

This growth rate far exceeds that of normal second-level high-grade spiritual beasts.

There are many reasons for this. On the one hand, Meng Zhou injected the most essential life force of a quasi-third-order mysterious turtle into their bloodline.

Due to the relationship between this quasi-third-order mysterious spirit turtle and them, these life forces are almost absorbed by their blood without any damage.

This allows them to avoid many detours and rush towards the second-order limit in an almost straight line.

Furthermore, due to Meng Zhou's characteristics, their bloodline talents were almost exploited to the limit.

In addition, he provides them with reasonable and scientific training and feeding.

These various factors create the effect that they seem to be standing still, but in fact they are sitting on the ground and rising up.

Meng Zhou spent some time formulating a new training plan for the two mysterious turtles.

After completing all this, Meng Zhou once again immersed himself in the collection of classics.

The ninth day of the lunar month, morning.

More than 4,500 classics have been digested.

As a result, Vientiane Deduction gained 34,000 points of experience, completing the further accumulation of master level.

"Master of Vientiane Interpretation 68,000/120,000" (Note: There are too many numbers and it is easy to make mistakes)

After working under a heavy mental workload for a long time, Meng Zhou gave himself a little vacation.

After being temporarily free, he called Yang Chong and Liu Ying over again to learn about their current situation.

After a year of accumulation, both of them have gained a lot.

Even without the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the probability of the two of them successfully establishing the Foundation was over 80%.

This is just the conservative judgment of the two people. In fact, with Meng Zhou watching from the side, this is no different from being sure of it.

However, Meng Zhou finally agreed to the two's request, allowing them to accumulate for another half a year, and wait until they felt that they were more than 90% sure before making a breakthrough.

And that time happened to be the deadline he set for the two of them last year.

…

The tenth day of the lunar month, morning.

Kan Yue came to the door as promised and brought new information on the jade slip.

Meng Zhou collected the two jade slips and asked Kan Yue, "Has the upgrade of the spiritual veins been completed?"

When Kan Yue heard this, an unabashed smile broke out on his face, and he nodded and said, "It's done."

Meng Zhouqi said: "But why do I feel that the aura of the earth veins in the surrounding area is no different from the end of last year?"

With his attainments in formations, he certainly knew that the biggest anomaly was that there was no difference.

But Meng Zhou couldn't help but be curious about such changes.

After Kan Yue's explanation, Meng Zhou understood what the Sanchuan Yuan City Lord's Mansion had done.

Yes, although the New Year has only been ten days, the Sanchuan City Lord's Palace has officially replaced the former Sanchuan Society and has become the highest authority in Sanchuan City.

As for the fact that he didn't feel any changes in spiritual energy after leaving seclusion this time, it was because the main palace of Sanchuanyuan City built a special formation on the basis of the original third-level formation. All the earth vein aura gained after the spiritual vein upgrade is accumulated, including the most concerning third-level aura.

This "reservoir" will be the core resource of Sanchuan Plain from now on.

The "water" power to allocate this "reservoir" is the core power of the Sanchuanyuan City Lord's Mansion.

After listening to Kan Yue's explanation, Meng Zhou said thoughtfully:

"According to the characteristics that the Sanchuan Yuan spiritual vein has shown in the past few years, even if the formation is not upgraded, it will naturally grow this year, right?"

In other words, the spiritual energy resources currently intercepted by the "reservoir" are not all the result of the third-order formation, but are also partly a gift from the natural growth of the spiritual veins of the Sanchuan Plain.

Kan Yue said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about it. Anyway, the extra spiritual energy resources from the Sanchuan Plain will be controlled by the City Lord's Mansion."

Hearing the operations of the Sanchuan Yuan City Lord's Mansion, Meng Zhou felt as if his dream had come true.

In the past life, some people joked about selling air and sunshine. I didn't experience it in my previous life, but I have seen it in this life.

He thought about his situation again and asked:

"In other words, if I want to upgrade this courtyard to a third-level spiritual land, do I still need the approval of the Sanchuan Yuan City Lord's Mansion?"

Kan Yue nodded.

He knew what Mr. Zhuang was worried about and quickly comforted him:

“You don’t have to worry about that.

In the city lord's palace, although all parties had arranged representatives to discuss matters, Qingxuanzong only arranged for a fake alchemy monk to sit in charge, and he just stood by and did not participate in any decision-making.

He didn't chime in until the other parties agreed.

After excluding Qingxuanzong, our right to speak cannot be ignored by any party.

Now, all parties have arranged for the fake alchemy and alchemy monks stationed in Sanchuan Plain to have third-level quality practice caves.

If we want to upgrade a spiritual land to a third-level spiritual land, they have no reason to stop us. "

Having said this, he quickly said: "After I go back this time, will President Pan open the authority of your courtyard and upgrade it to the third level?"

Hearing what he said, Meng Zhou shook his head and refused: "No rush, just wait a few more months."

Since there were no obstacles at this stage, he was not in a hurry.

At this time, Sanchuan will connect this courtyard to the third-level spiritual energy "reservoir", which will inevitably attract a lot of attention.

Whether those who understand themselves or those who do not understand themselves will attract more inquiring eyes.

This is not what he wants.

What he hoped was that he would not attract any attention until he officially completed the challenge.

In the exchange with Kan Yue, another doubt in Meng Zhou's mind was also answered.

When he first came out of seclusion, in addition to his doubts about the earth's aura, Meng Zhou was also quite confused about the calm atmosphere observed in the moon mirror.

But now I understand that the fruits have been distributed to each family's bowls, and everyone is busy digesting the harvest.

Now is the most "peaceful and quiet" time in Sanchuan Plain.

Meng Zhou predicted that in the future, as the number of fake elixirs and even forged elixirs increases, the authority to open this third-level spiritual energy "reservoir" will surely become the main battlefield for all parties to compete.

But that's for the future. Now everyone is open and can't use up all of it. Naturally, no one will use this to disgust people.

After understanding this, Meng Zhou stopped continuing this topic.

If you want to talk about it, there are naturally many places worth exploring in depth, but now, these are not important to him.

Instead, he mentioned another thing. He looked at Kan Yue, his expression became serious, and asked:

"You have collected a huge amount of information for me, but how could you leak the information about the Professionals Association so completely?"

Kan Yue looked embarrassed after hearing Meng Zhou's questioning.

His lips opened, as if he wanted to explain, but for a moment he didn't know how to explain.

Meng Zhou waved his hand and said, "Go and tell President Pan that this kind of thing will never happen again."

Kan Yue quickly nodded in agreement.

After Kan Yue said goodbye and left, Meng Zhou was still thinking about this matter.

What needs to be made clear is that although the person who delivers the news to him every time is Kan Yue, the decision-maker behind this matter can only be Chairman Pan.

The decision to withhold information about the great changes within the Professionals Association could only be made by President Pan.

His purpose for doing this is not difficult to guess.

Although, he had used his status as a member of the Professionals Association and a core member of the Spirit Planter Branch to deal with President Pan.

But after President Pan knew his true abilities, he could naturally think that although those identities were true, they could only be a cover.

He had had many direct contacts with Zhu Qian's teacher at that time, and it was not difficult to confirm his true status in the spiritual planter branch.

Meng Zhou could also understand his purpose for doing this.

But if you understand, you will understand, and you still have to beat when you need to.

He didn't want to do this kind of "making an independent decision" for himself again.
