I studied abroad in modern times

The Jiushan Auction House is located in a wooden building similar to a double-story theater, with a square patio in the middle.

At one end of the patio is a wooden high platform with a small table on it. There is a clock on the table and a small golden hammer slanted beside the clock, which is used by the host to explain the auction items.

Under the high platform, there are dozens of rows of chairs densely arranged. This place is for the monks who are under the golden elixir.

There are dozens of boxes on the second floor. If monks above Nascent Soul come, they will be ushered into the box. This is also the practice of the Xuanwei Realm auction. To a certain extent, it is actually for those low-cultivation disciples. A relief...

Zheng Fa and Uncle Pang stood in a box facing the high platform. They watched the seats downstairs gradually fill up. They watched Master Cheng Kong and Master Tongming enter the box. Then they smiled and said to Uncle Pang on the side: " Uncle Master, your gossip has extraordinary effects."

Those rumors about the disciples were spread by Uncle Pang.

Uncle Pang smiled, with contentment on his face, and replied: "It's just a survey to see who moves more with the disciples of the Hundred Immortals Alliance. Isn't that what my "Dongxu Spiritual Eye" does?"

Zheng Fa nodded slightly.

When the monks from the Hundred Immortals League enter the Nine Mountains Realm, the Nine Mountains Realm will naturally not do any security work - aside from other things, the laboratory on the University Island is top secret.

In fact, the Nine Mountains Realm has always been loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and Uncle Pang's lineage is always paying attention to these monks.

It is not difficult to find a few people who are familiar with the disciples of the Hundred Immortals Alliance.

"It's actually not my fault that they are here."

Uncle Pang said again.

Zheng Fa turned his head and saw a hint of sincerity on Uncle Pang's face: "How can these transformed gods or Yuanying be convinced by a few rumors? It's just that in our Jiushan Sect, fourteen golden elixirs were born in half a month, among which And half of the top-grade people... they don’t believe it, but they have to believe it.”

Zheng Fa nodded slightly.

Rumors are just rumors, but the facts cannot be refuted.

"Although they no longer need to form elixirs, what about the disciples? Where are the younger generations? To them, what does an outer elixir mean?" Uncle Pang watched the Nascent Souls enter one by one, his face smiled more happily, and his tone He was actually a little arrogant: "Moreover, can I, the Jiushan Sect, tell a lie?"

"The outer elixir contains the secret of the "Golden elixir project"."

"It just depends on whether they can understand it."

Zheng Fa became interested and asked, "What do you think, Uncle Pang? Can any of them get a glimpse of the secrets of the Golden Elixir Project?"

Master Pang glanced at him, as if he thought his question was stupid, "Look at the "Golden Elixir Project", do you think I have learned it?"

"……cough."

Zheng Fa nodded silently. "Golden Elixir Project" seems simple, but it incorporates a lot of knowledge. Even he dare not say that he knows everything.

Not to mention, the knowledge systems of monks outside the Nine Mountains Realm are different.

While the two were talking, the building was already filled with people. On the high platform, Senior Sister Yuan walked out from the backstage with a friendly and generous smile on her face.

She saluted to the box on the stage, and then said to the monks in the audience: "Dear guests..."

Looking at Senior Sister Yuan who was talking eloquently on the stage, Uncle Pang smiled and sighed: "You really make the best use of people's talents and make the best use of birds...how could you think of her?"

Zheng Fa also looked at the stage with a smile, where Senior Sister Yuan was presiding over the auction with ease and ease. She usually looked silly, but now she gave everyone present a special sense of trust.

Although everyone knows that she wants to make money from everyone's storage bags.

But looking at her round, slightly innocent smile, I feel that this Fairy Yuan probably doesn’t have a deceptive mind...

"Senior Sister Yuan asked for the tassel herself." Zheng Fa explained to Senior Uncle Pang, "She said that she had received a lot of experience in the news, and she is different from what she used to be."

It probably means that after three days of separation, the birds look at each other with admiration.

Don't mention it, Senior Sister Yuan is really a bit...bird-like on stage.

After hearing this, Uncle Pang actually thought about it for a moment and suddenly laughed: "That's really true. Although Senior Nephew Yuan was also in charge of Fangshi before, we all know that she doesn't have this talent... Senior Nephew Zhang will Giving her this position is more about trusting her pure heart.”

"I didn't expect that she is so talented in this area."

"Don't blame me. Even your master thinks this little guy is stupid. He just hopes that she won't get into trouble. I didn't expect that there would be such a good fortune."

Zheng Fa also agreed with Uncle Pang. In the past, the profit in the market was too great. Senior Sister Zhang used Senior Sister Yuan because she was only greedy and not very greedy for spiritual stones.

On the other hand, it is just extravagant hope.

"Master Yuan, I have never been so happy."

Master Pang suddenly sighed.

Looking at Senior Sister Yuan who was a little unfamiliar on the stage but was becoming more and more confident, Zheng Fa also laughed softly - Senior Sister Yuan was always smiling. She had a simple temper and could forget many worries even if she had a stutter. She was a happy fruit. .

But being able to find your own talents, use your intelligence and talents, and be loved by everyone is another kind of happiness.

…

After the auction, Master Tongming held a Dragon and Tiger Waidan in his hand, frowned and said, "Isn't the so-called "Golden elixir project" a rumor deliberately spread by the Jiushan Sect? It attracted me and others to rush to buy it. This Waidan?”

He said, his expression still a little angry.

Jiushan Sect sold fifteen Waidan in this wave, but there were far more than fifteen buyers.

The price is naturally a bit exaggerated.

"The rumor must have been intentional." Master Chengkong glanced at him and said with a smile, "Otherwise, how could anyone talk about such a top-secret matter?"

Master Tongming nodded. He had thought of this.

"However, this thing is related to the secret method of forming the elixir of Jiushan Sect... It should be true."

Master Chengkong suddenly said again.

Master Tongming was stunned, and then he heard Master Chengkong explain, "The quality of the external elixir in the world is mostly equivalent to the low-grade golden elixir, or even the lowest low-grade golden elixir."

He took out a Shenxiao external elixir, pointed at it and said, "But this one has the quality of a medium-grade golden elixir."

"It can be seen that the so-called "Golden Elixir Project" is not a lie."

Master Tongming was also convinced when he heard it. He thought about it and felt that Jiushan Sect was honest: "So, even if the secret of the elixir formation method cannot be explored, this high-quality external elixir is actually worth the money."

Master Chengkong smiled and suddenly said, "Don't forget, there is also the Great Freedom Demon Sect."

Master Tongming felt a toothache and understood Master Chengkong's hidden line-even if he couldn't see the secret of the "Golden Elixir Project", this external elixir was also a powerful magic weapon.

A cultivator who has completed the foundation building can almost compete with a weaker golden elixir...

Thinking of this, he actually didn't think the external elixir was expensive, but rather a little too little.

This Jiushan Sect's external elixir, with such quality, will probably become popular!

"Jiushan Sect..." Master Tongming sighed.

He only said three words, but Master Chengkong seemed to understand what he meant: "This Jiushan Sect has a unique idea. Let's not talk about this external elixir, and there is also the spiritual plant..."

After saying that, his tone gradually became lower.

Master Tongming didn't care about his silence, but looked at the market in front of him.

The small building where the auction was held was originally on Jingkai Island. As soon as they went out, they walked two steps and arrived at the newly built market of Jiushan Sect-

The market is actually not big, but a square area.

Three horizontal and three vertical, six streets, divided the market into sixteen blocks.

The blocks are full of shops, which are naturally newly built, simple in style, and some even have no decorations.

The goods in the shops are actually very simple.

In fact, there are three representative commodities:

Talismans, most of which are thunder-related and soul-related.

Qianhegu and thunder pepper, etc., are newly developed crops by Zheng Fa and his team.

There are also some thunder-related spiritual materials, which are naturally exchanged by some disciples in the medicine garden. They are reluctant to use or temporarily unused, so they are sold here.

There are also some scattered shops, which also sell some magic tools or elixirs. Most of these shops were opened by the previous group of disciples of the Hundred Immortals Alliance.

In addition to talismans, the most people buy thunder peppers.

This market is still a bit crude. Tongmingshan’s own Tongming Market is also much more lively and rich than this market.

But...

He walked slowly in the market, without buying anything, just turned his head and looked around.

The shop owners of the Jiushan Sect had a peaceful and enthusiastic smile on their faces.

The disciples he brought with him also shuttled between the shops happily and freely.

The ease on their faces was something he had not seen for a long time.

Yes, no matter how lively the Tongming Market is, the invasion of the Great Freedom Demon Cult is also frightening.

He also saw that Master Yu of Baicao Sect was also walking around, seemingly inspecting the shops here, and he should be interested in opening a shop here: he also thought this was a good choice. After all, the Baixian League is poor now. If they can do some business and earn some spiritual stones, it will also be a small help to the sect.

Now the Jiushan Sect has made a name for itself with the Waidan, and it is extremely safe.

Opening a shop here is really tempting.

Thinking of this, he blinked, and his heart was sad.

Master Chengkong glanced at him, as if he was curious about his expression.

"I was thinking... No wonder Zheng Fa looked down on my Hundred Immortals Alliance."

"Hmm?"

Master Tongming explained:

"Let alone recruiting new disciples, our disciples are now in danger, while the Nine Mountains Sect has hundreds of disciples joining every year."

"Many of the Hundred Immortals Alliance's golden elixir disciples have died in recent times, while the Nine Mountains Sect has many high-quality golden elixirs..."

"Now that the market is open, you can imagine how prosperous it will be in the future."

"With time, one will become more prosperous, while the other will become weaker..."

Master Chengkong couldn't bear to listen, and said: "He also relied on the Nine Mountains Realm..."

"The Nine Mountains Realm... used to be called the Heavenly Monument Realm. It's not that there were no disciples from my Tongming Mountain who entered this small world, but their skills were not as good as Zheng Fa's, so this world became the Nine Mountains Realm."

Hearing this, even Master Chengkong was speechless. Zheng Fa got the Nine Mountains Realm, but he defeated Xiao Yuying with his foundation-building cultivation!

Who can't be convinced?

"It should be said that the Jiushan Sect relies on Zheng Fa!" Master Tongming said bitterly.

"..."

"Master, how do you think we can make Zheng Fa... willing to return to our Baixian League?"

Master Chengkong glanced at him, without saying anything, his eyes unpredictable.

...

"Zhao Jingfan greets the envoy and the leader."

Seventh Young Master Zhao Jingfan walked into Master Chengkong's yard, looking at Master Chengkong and Master Tongming in front of him, and was confused:

How could I, a small Qi practitioner, suddenly be summoned by two gods?

He saluted honestly, not daring to raise his head.

Unexpectedly, Master Chengkong's tone was very kind: "Sit down, don't be nervous."

Seventh Young Master carefully sat down next to the chair in the room, looked up, and saw... Master Chengkong actually smiled at him.

Smiling!

"Envoy?"

"Are you familiar with Zheng Fa?"

Seventh Young Master blinked, understood a little, and nodded gently.

"Is he your book boy?"

"Yes."

With the spirit transformation in front of him, the seventh young master naturally did not dare to hide it, "But he is also my teacher."

"teacher?"

"He also enlightened me in the Tao of Talisman." The Seventh Young Master explained, "Zhenren Zhang once said that Zheng Fa's talent in the Tao of Talisman is the best in the world!"

He started to brag about Zheng Fa unconsciously.

Master Chengkong nodded slowly, thoughtfully, and then asked, "Please tell me in detail about Zheng Fa's past."

Although the seventh young master didn't know the reason, he could only tell the truth.

After finishing speaking, Master Chengkong asked some additional questions.

What puzzled him was that what Master Chengkong asked more about was how he, Zheng Fa, treated him, Gao Yuan, and even Huang Yu and the others.

When he walked out of the yard, he was still a little dizzy and seemed to be out of his mind.

In the courtyard, Master Tongming looked at Master Chengkong in confusion, wondering why he was looking for Zhao Jingfan.

"This Zheng Fa has been extremely talented since he was a child. He has a photographic memory. In martial arts and the way of spiritual talismans, he can master them all in one go..."

"Later on Leifa, it was the same."

"It seems that Thunder Pepper and other spiritual plants also have his contribution."

"There is also Waidan. I'm afraid he also has some talent in the art of refining weapons."

After saying this, Master Tongming said in shock: "He really knows everything he has learned? Is he an all-rounder?"

Master Chengkong thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "This is different from Venerable Tianhe. Venerable Tianhe... has nothing but the sword. The difference is huge."

"Venerable Tianhe?"

Master Tongming was confused and didn't understand why Master Chengkong mentioned Master Tianhe.

Master Chengkong did not answer him, but said to himself: "Coupled with the Jiushan Sect's atmosphere, he actually has some skills in managing the sect."

After listening to this, Master Tongming felt even more itchy - some things should not be discussed together, and he did not understand the value of them...

Putting it all together, this Zheng Fa is far from what a practicing genius can describe!

"But...how can we convince him to return to the Hundred Immortals Alliance?"

He couldn't help but ask.

Master Chengkong didn't know whether he heard him or not, but he just said slowly:

"Zheng Fa is a person who is both ruthless and affectionate."

"From what Zhao Jingfan said just now, he is actually not easy to make friends with and likes to be alone. But once he is regarded as a friend, he is quite generous and does not hesitate to use secret techniques."

Master Tongming was even more convinced after hearing this.

The same thing happened when he thought about it. Didn't Zhao Jingfan learn Fu Tao by accident by making friends with Zheng Fa?

"In other words, to convince Zheng Fa, it is best to start with him. If not, then we have to start with Jiu Shan Sect..."

"yes!"

Master Tongming suddenly realized it, clapped his hands, and then said with a sad face: "It is not easy to start with the Jiushan Sect. Becoming the leader of the Hundred Immortals Alliance will also be of great benefit to the Jiushan Sect, and he will not be tempted."

"The Hundred Immortals Alliance...he doesn't like it, but what about Taishangdao?"

Master Chengkong suddenly said.

"It's natural to be too supreme...ah?"

Master Tongming finally understood what Master Chengkong was talking about. He suddenly looked at the envoy with a single expression -

Do you want to rob me too?

Now he finally understood that after Master Chengkong summarized Zheng Fa's talents, he was actually really attracted to Zheng Fa!

Good news: Zheng Fa is more talented than he thought!

Bad news: He's also more of a genius than Master Cheng Kong imagined.

"His Jiu Shan Realm is not impregnable... Only I, the Supreme Daoist, can protect the Jiu Shan Sect in this great calamity."

"..."

Master Tongming understood, but didn't want to speak.

"His talent... will definitely be valued in my Supreme Way."

"Then...what about the Hundred Immortals Alliance?"

Master Tongming couldn't help but ask.

"I'm not from the Hundred Immortals Alliance."

"..."

"Has Zhao Jinglan been here?"

As soon as Zheng Fa returned to Paradise Island, he chirped a message to his little sister.

"Yes, the eldest lady came here specially. She said that the seventh young master was in a hurry and asked her to bring a messenger talisman and asked me to give it to you."

Zheng Fa took the summons talisman and understood it at a glance.

It was given to him by the seventh young master. He was worried about it and even asked his sister to bring it in human flesh.

The communication talisman told the story of Master Chengkong's meeting with him, and also explained his response one by one. There were only three words in the words:

Confession!

Zheng Fa couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart. To be honest, what the Seventh Young Master was doing was actually a bit dangerous - even though he was very cautious, he had extraordinary magical powers, and it was difficult for him to hide it from someone who practiced Qi.

He thought for a moment and realized that at least he had not exposed modern things in front of the Seventh Young Master before, let alone said anything about the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant.

There is nothing wrong with what the seventh young master said.

It’s just that Master Chengkong doesn’t know why?

Soon, he knew.

Late at night, Master Chengkong came to the door.

He came alone.

"Master?"

"Are you willing to join my Supreme Way?"

This man is still so straightforward.

"Master?"

"I know that you think that with the Nine Mountains Realm here, you can stay out of the catastrophe."

"..."

"But I'm afraid you don't know that the Nine Mountains Realm, or the Cave Heaven World, is not enough for you to sit back and relax."

"Although it is difficult to forcefully enter the cave world,...it is not impossible for no one to do it."

Zheng Fa was silent, he had already thought of this matter.

He has not forgotten how Tianzun died.

Master Chengkong's meaning is also very clear: no one is dealing with Jiu Shan Realm now. It seems that Jiu Shan Realm doesn't have many things worthy of tempting those powerful people.

But if the Nine Mountains Realm continues to develop like this... it's hard to say.

Perhaps Master Chengkong just felt that the Nine Mountains Realm might develop to the point where people would covet it.

But Zheng Fa is getting more and more confident!

What's more, there is still the Xuanwei Catastrophe, and there is no telling what will happen in the future.

"Moreover, the heaven and earth in your Nine Mountains world cannot communicate with each other. This means that the cave world is incomplete. Compared with the ordinary cave world, it is easier for others to take advantage of it."

Zheng Fa was shocked. He had been thinking about this for a long time and always thought it was a problem with the sun and moon clock.

But now it seems... there seems to be another reason?

Then Master Chengkong took out a spiritual bamboo.

As soon as this spiritual bamboo appeared, he felt the sun and moon clock in the medicine garden ringing faintly. What made Zheng Fa even more strange was that he could feel that the spiritual energy on this spiritual bamboo was changing the spiritual energy in the Nine Mountains Realm. composition.

That is to say——

Previously, only thunder spells could be used in the Nine Mountains Realm, but with the appearance of the Spiritual Bamboo, it seems that some spells can be used again.

"This is……"

"The spiritual roots of heaven and earth." Master Chengkong said leisurely, "This is a secret that only the five Xuanwei sects know... If you didn't have the Nine Mountain Realm, I wouldn't tell you."

"If you want to perfect the cave world, there is a way. You must find a spiritual root of heaven and earth and combine it with the world. Then the world will grow and improve with the spiritual root."

"Where do you think my foundation of Xuanwei's five sects lies?"

"Spiritual roots? No, the cave world?"

Zheng Fa guessed.

"That's it... If you join me on the Supreme Way, you will have the opportunity to obtain the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, and this Nine Mountains Realm will have the opportunity to further improve."

Zheng Fa was silent for a moment, and then he couldn't help but ask: "How many of these so-called spiritual roots of heaven and earth are there?"

"Of course there aren't many. My Qingjing Bamboo is just a branch... I think about it, I'm afraid there are less than ten kinds of spiritual roots that I know about. The most famous ones are Huangzhong Plum and Flat Peach... Oh, and hibiscus wood!”

Zheng Fa:......

To be honest, I, a man, am pregnant with a hibiscus tree.
