Shangyuque

Chapter 107 You should marry Lin Ying first, and then kick her out after you build your foundation (1.07W monthly ticket requested!)

Is Wang Xianzhou arrogant?

Using Qi training to blackmail a monster that is comparable to a foundation-building monster and has supernatural powers does seem to be quite powerful in the abstract.

But Wang Xianzhou did not think he was arrogant. With his talent, if nothing unexpected happened, he might have already established a foundation with supernatural powers.

Moreover, the existence of the Immortal Alliance is not entirely a bad thing. Any system that can run stably and for a long time must have its merits.

As a former member of the Immortal Alliance, Wang Xianzhou is very familiar with the rules of the Immortal Alliance. The Dripping Cave Heaven has been semi-integrated with the outside world, and Wu Jinyan's existence represents the Immortal Alliance's jurisdiction over the Dripping Cave Heaven.

No matter what kind of power is behind the giant stone turtle, under the rules of the Immortal Alliance that have been focused on suppressing the foundation for more than a thousand years, if its affairs are reported to the higher-ups, it will surely die.

No one investigated the riot in Qingxifang caused by the renovation of Zifu because it was Zifu that caused the riot.

A mere big demon actually dared to enslave the cultivators to help him eat people. For the cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, this kind of thing is even a credit that they need to scramble to take.

“If I’m not mistaken, Immortal Venerable, you have reached the end of your life span, but you haven’t even made a breakthrough to the foundation-building stage.

But you are just practicing Qi, what qualifications do you have to represent the Immortal Alliance?"

Faced with Wang Xianzhou's blackmail, Shi Zu did not intend to compromise easily. He first scolded Wang Xianzhou and then said.

"I'll give you three plants of dripping water grass, and then get out of here!"

Wang Xianzhou's expression suddenly became serious.

Well, well, 90% of Wang’s first cuts have been eliminated.

The big stone turtle doesn't follow the usual path. This beast will be chopped off 99% of the time when it comes up!

"Do you really want to commit suicide?" Wang Xianzhou asked back in a stern voice without any fear.

The cardinal put some distance between them, making sure that it didn't want to die.

Just now it was far away from the giant monster and couldn't see it clearly. Now that it was closer, it noticed that the water-attributed spiritual energy around the giant monster was boiling.

Hongque didn't know where Shizu came from, but he understood Shizu's strength.

"Kuang Tu, the price you asked for is ridiculous. Instead of giving the resources to you, I can give them to the three Purple Mansions in Dripping Water Cave Heaven.

Do you think they will protect me? With their protection, how could anything possibly happen to me? "

Wang Xianzhou breathed a sigh of relief and began to actively negotiate the price.

"Sixth-grade spiritual objects are indispensable, and I only need three seventh-grade spiritual objects. The others remain unchanged."

"I can't possibly give you a sixth-grade item, let alone my blood essence. I'll give you a seventh-grade item, a piece of water jade, and the dripping grass and the green-blooded frog as you say. This is my bottom line!"

It was just talking just now. Just think about it, and you will know how could Shi Zu hand over any evidence to Zi Fu in Dripping Water Cave Heaven?
The Dripping Cave is now a vassal of the Red Lantern Sect, which is a sect dominated by human cultivators.

Shi Zu had committed a crime and could not leave the cave. Wang Xianzhou dared to blackmail him because he saw that he was in a dilemma.

Of course, in the final analysis, we should thank the founder Mangxiang. Before the founder achieved the golden elixir, the status of the Wang family had already risen a lot.

This is also one of the important reasons why Wang Xianzhou dared to take a gamble. It can be said that it was Mangxiang that gave the ancestor Xianzhou the confidence.

Half an hour later, the big stone turtle said with some defense broken.

"How can I have a sixth-grade spiritual object without one? There are very few seventh-grade spiritual objects in the Dripping Water Cave. The Dripping Water Cave has coveted all the slightly better resources!"

Wang Xianzhou was really good at bargaining. He negotiated bit by bit, and basically achieved most of the demands.

Currently, the only issue that the two parties cannot agree on is the sixth-grade spiritual object.

Sixth-grade spiritual objects, treasures of this level can be used to refine magic weapons, and they are often targeted by people long before they are formed.

"Since you can't give me a sixth-grade spiritual object, how about giving me a tortoise shell you shed?"

In fact, Wang Xianzhou didn't expect to knock out a sixth-grade spiritual object. Not to mention that the stone turtle didn't have such a thing, even if it did, it would not be given to him.

The power gap is too great.

He negotiated like this just to raise the price, but he didn't expect that Shigui looked extremely cunning and was not very smart during the negotiation, which allowed Wang Xianzhou to gain a lot of advantages.

Patriarch Xian Zhou thought that the turtle had never seen the world and didn't think too much about it, but he really wanted a piece of turtle shell.

Yulou has an excellent talent for alchemy. When his cultivation level improves in the future, he can use the shell shed by the stone turtle to refine weapons.

Moreover, judging from the stone turtle's level of cultivation, the shell left over from its last molting should be able to be refined into a spiritual weapon.

"Do I look like someone who has shed a shell? I am cultivating my own demon armor. From the small demon realm to now, I have only had this shell."

Wang Xianzhou's eyes immediately became serious - those in the small demon realm only knew how to cultivate their own demon armor, and those in the large demon realm even cultivated magical powers that could make the spiritual energy boil.

This huge stone turtle actually has a demonic body and demonic magic.

During the process of cultivation, monsters will awaken their inheritance at irregular times and quantities depending on the differences in their bloodline and race.

The Stone Ancestor's demon body and magic are both extraordinary, which shows that his talent is also excellent among demon beasts.

"Then how about you add two more seventh-grade spiritual objects?"

Wang Xianzhou asked.

The big stone turtle thought about it and answered.

"Ren Xiu, you are too greedy. I only have three seventh-grade spiritual objects. Giving you two is already the limit.

But I still have an egg, and inside it is my child, who is extremely gifted.

I can give it to you. In the future, you or the young genius in your family will take it out of the dripping cave. What do you think?"

Wang Xianzhou was a little surprised. This big stone turtle was obviously a male, so how could it have an egg?
Could there be another stone turtle from the small demon realm or the big demon realm nearby?
But he didn't hesitate much and agreed after a brief thought.

Judging from the current strength of the Stone Ancestor, its descendants will at least reach the lesser demon realm.

"Can!"

Wang Xianzhou nodded in agreement, then opened his mouth and gave instructions to Hongque.

"Go, fly thirty miles away, I will go and trade with it. If I don't come back, you will report this monster to Deacon Wu Jinyan!"

Hongque understood what Wang Xianzhou meant. They were old partners.

The Stone Ancestor in the distance also heard what Wang Xianzhou deliberately said. It shook its head with some regret in its eyes.

Seeing Wang Xianzhou approaching, Shi Zu finally saw the man's true situation.

"Your magic power is so powerful, twice that of an ordinary peak Qi training master. Why haven't you established your foundation yet?"

"Oh, half of my body was scraped off when I was fighting with a foundation-building cultivator. Don't waste time, let's take over as soon as possible!"

Shi Zu felt somewhat relieved. Only a Qi-cultivating cultivator like this would dare to blackmail me, right?

"You are very powerful, a human cultivator, to be able to fight and survive with your Qi training and foundation building skills."

Under the moonlight, Wang Xianzhou raised his head, curled the corners of his mouth with a slight sigh, and said.

"Actually, I won."

The big stone turtle lowered its head and looked at the old man in front of it with its two green turtle eyes. Wang Xianzhou looked at it calmly.

An old face, a burly body, armor that glows with light, and a large battle talisman box behind him.

If he was in the foundation-building stage, there might not be any negotiations tonight, and what awaited him would only be a fierce fight.

Shi Zu had never seen a cultivator from the Immortal Alliance before. Wang Xianzhou was the first one. However, this first one taught him a severe lesson and left him with an unforgettable impression.

"Here, two seventh-grade spiritual materials, three pieces of water jade, twenty-six plants of dripping water grass, thirteen Ao, and fourteen green-blooded frogs."

When the Green Blood Frog was given to him, Shi Zu's spiritual consciousness noticed that another Green Blood Frog had come to the island, so he used his spiritual power to capture it as a gift.

“Finally, two drops of blood, here.

Ren Xiu, I gave you so much, not because I am afraid of you, but because I know that you are a difficult person.

So, I don’t want to make an enemy of you. If you continue to force me, I might really surrender to the three immortal disciples outside the cave.”

Shi Zu said it with great pain, pain in the physical sense, because he only had more than 140 drops of essence and blood, which condensed his cultivation and supernatural powers.

Two drops may not seem like much, but it will take at least a month to repair it. How can you not feel painful?

After accepting the two drops of emerald-like stone turtle blood, Wang Xianzhou did not respond, but just asked quietly.

"Where's the egg?"

The giant stone turtle turned around and went into the lake in the center of the island.

"I'll get it for you. Wait, wait. It'll take half a quarter of an hour. Don't let that damn bird misunderstand. Go and notify it."

Half a minute later, Shi Zu came out again, with a turtle egg the size of a watermelon floating next to him.

Shi Zu nudged the egg with his nose, hesitated for a moment, and finally pushed it towards Wang Xianzhou.

“It should still be two years before it hatches. Since you can raise a spirit bird in the Lesser Demon Realm, you naturally know how to raise a spirit turtle.

Go, take it away, leave Dripping Cave, this is my only request. "

Wang Xianzhou nodded and accepted the turtle eggs, but before leaving, he hesitated and spoke.

“Outside, it’s the same.”

The huge turtle face of Shizu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he sighed.

"I know, but it's always a hope."

Shaking his head, Wang Xianzhou left with the turtle eggs.

Shi Zu looked at the direction where the turtle eggs disappeared, stood there for a long time, and then turned into spiritual light and disappeared in spots. It seemed that he was frightened by the dangers of the world and chose to start a new round of seclusion.
-
"This Lao Cui, Lao Cui, we have already overestimated him a lot, but who would have thought that there is a big demon behind him."

Touching the huge turtle eggs, Wang Yulou was a little dazed.

This bastard Cui Dingyi is really not a human being. He cultivated himself from a warrior to a qigong practitioner by making sacrifices to the so-called Stone Ancestor.

Now that we know the key, we can explain the increasing number of monster attacks on the Hewan Fishing Port over the past seventy years.

All of them matched, all of them matched. I can only say that Lao Cui is too cruel.

“As a cultivator, he is willing to be a slave to a demon. Even if there are excusable circumstances, his crime should be punished.

But, Yulou, how do you think we should explain Cui Dingyi's death to Huachi Palace and Dripping Water Cave?"

Wang Xianzhou was actually testing Yulou's ability to respond.

“Not dead, just missing, that’s all.

We don't have to do anything. Only a third-level Qi training person is missing. Huachi Palace shouldn't be suspicious.

Moreover, Lao Cui's disappearance without any clear reason can also make his subordinates feel in awe. "

Yulou gave his own response.

After all, in this world, different identities and statuses have different values.

Is Cui Dingyi missing or dead? Does anyone really care?

No one cares that the so-called identity of a disciple of Huachi Palace is nothing more than his position in the screening and training system of Dishui Cave.

There are thousands of people in the same position.

"Hahaha, yes, it's better to be still than to move. We were worried about the increasing number of monster attacks before, but things may change in the future.

You don’t have to worry now. I have swindled a large amount of resources from Shizu, which is enough for you to practice diligently until you reach the foundation.

Moreover, you are practicing to the foundation-building stage at ten times the speed. Yulou, practice well. From now on, your only task is to stay in the Dripping Cave and practice well.

With the help of the elixir, your cultivation speed is not only comparable to that of a cultivator with only one spiritual root, but even not slower than that of a cultivator from a golden elixir family. You can be considered one of the fastest cultivators in the world!"

Being able to practice quickly is of course a good thing, but Yulou still has some other ideas in his mind.

"Ancestor, you have gained a sum of resources, which is your own destiny. You can exchange it for a longevity medicine or donate it to the clan to help other members of the clan who have reached the peak of Qi training build their foundation.

I am twenty-three years old now. Even if I practice at the fastest speed, I can only reach the peak of Qi training around the age of fifty. This will take a full twenty-seven years.

Time is the biggest cause of change. We cannot predict the future. Instead of planning so far ahead, it is better to use up the resources at hand as soon as possible in exchange for the prosperity of the family in the present."

Seeing that Wang Xianzhou looked unhappy, Wang Yulou hurriedly added.

“Moreover, Old Ancestor, if I really follow that fastest method to cultivate all the way to the foundation building stage, after the foundation building stage, I will definitely be the weakest one.

There is no need to think about it, we don't need to rush, it's good to build a foundation at the age of 80."

In fact, these are all excuses. Wang Yulou just can't bear to rely on his parents for support.

Yes, Wang Xianzhou was willing to let him chew it, but Yulou couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Ancestor Xian Zhou dedicated his entire life to the family, and even in his old age he still had to be the family's fuel. Wang Yulou could not accept this.

Perhaps it was naivety, perhaps it was paranoia, in any case, he could not bear to watch Patriarch Xian Zhou burn himself and push him to practice quickly.

“Strength is indeed important. We are not short of resources now. Yulou, I plan to adjust your elixir recipe.

Reduce the duration of the drug's effect and continue to increase its potency. This way, you can also trace your pulses while your cultivation speed will not be affected."

The old man stood up and analyzed quickly with a sharp look in his eyes.

“Before, we reached an agreement to give up on tracing the pulse and let you focus on improving your cultivation. There was nothing we could do about it.

After all, we didn't have enough resources at that time.

The present is different from the past. As long as I sell those two seventh-grade spiritual materials and three pieces of water jade, plus my original savings, it will be enough for me to refine a spiritual pill for you to reach the peak of Qi training."

Wang Yulou could only smile bitterly. The old ancestor did not listen to a word he said.

"Yulou still feels that there is no need to think too far ahead. The clan needs this unplanned resource more than I do."

Hearing him say this again, the old ancestor puffed his beard and glared as he began to explain.

“What do you know? The clan leader has already made arrangements for Wang Rongyuan, Wang Rongjiang, and Wang Rongwen to build their foundations.

As for the others, they either lack a little here or a lot there. Even if I give them the resources, they may not be able to build a foundation.

Good fertilizer should nourish the good seedlings, Yulou, just rest assured to practice, I, the ancestor, have a plan in mind, and I will never let you become the weakest one in the foundation building!"
-
Three months later, in a valley about ten miles away from Hewan Fishing Village.

Huge earth spikes rose from the ground and stabbed towards Wang Xianzhou. In the air, two speed vine techniques attacked from different directions, blocking Wang Xianzhou's space to move.

But the real killer move is the purple copper magic sword controlled by Yulou. It is like a nimble fish, flying along with the fast-growing vines of the Speed Vine Technique, hiding in the dark, waiting for the moment of the fatal blow.

Faced with such a fierce attack, Wang Xianzhou yawned and activated the young monks' favorite Thousand Mile Talisman to speed himself up a little.

Then, he rolled over twice smoothly and avoided the attack that Wang Yulou had carefully prepared.

"Too slow, too slow, and there is no hidden trick. Do you really have to use this broken sword?"

Wang Xianzhou jumped up from the ground and brandished a long spear, but he did not dare to use the sharp blade of the spear. He only used the shaft of the spear to block Wang Yulou's copper magic sword. For a while, there were crackling sounds, and it was like a fight between two warriors.

Wang Yulou's face turned red with anxiety. He pushed the copper sword to its limit, but unfortunately, he still had no chance to break Wang Xianzhou's defensive position.

Yes, the goal of Wang Yulou’s fighting training is to interfere with and overthrow Wang Xianzhou’s defensive position.

He didn't even have to consider whether he would injure ancestor Xian Zhou, he just had to fight to the death.

No matter how they fight, at most they can only disrupt Wang Xianzhou's defense, and it is still a long way from hurting the ancestor.

Even so, this was the result of Wang Xianzhou fighting him with only the strength of the first level of Qi training. Yu Lou was crushed by Wang Xianzhou purely relying on his experience.

The two men fought for more than ten rounds. Wang Xian switched from defense to offense, and Yulou was soon put on the neck by a long spear.

Yulou calmed down his emotions and explained.

"The copper sword feels the best to operate, and it consumes less spiritual energy, so you can train for a longer time."

"Okay, tell me how you feel first."

Wang Xianzhou put away his long spear, sat on the tree trunk whose roots were overturned by the earth thorn technique, looked at Yulou, and the two began to review their fighting training.

"I am not good at earth and wood magic after all. No matter how I use them, they are not as smooth as the Guishui Cangfeng Needle. Ancestor, is there really no way to solve the problem of my magic being not good enough due to my spiritual roots?"

Wang Xianzhou nodded and said.

“Wait until you have established your foundation. After that, you can complete your earth and wood foundations. Then, you can use earth and wood methods just as well as cultivators with corresponding spiritual roots.

However, I asked you to practice the magic of gold, earth and wood not so that you can rely on them to achieve success in a fight.

It is to hide the techniques that he is truly good at, and at the same time, to establish a complete system of techniques when fighting.

The former can help you hide your weaknesses in front of your opponent.

The latter can help you defeat those monks whose inheritance is not comprehensive enough."

This is the difference between having a family inheritance and not having a family inheritance. Yulou should have carried out this part of the training within the clan.

But now that he had left his family, and his protector Wang Xianzhou was also very skilled in fighting, he slowly began to practice in the cave.

“However, your biggest problem is not the lack of fluency and control of your spells, but your lack of reaction speed.

After thinking quickly, there must be a thinking process after all. The greatest role of fighting training is to make you turn your response after thinking into a habit.

Recover your spiritual energy. Later, you can use the gold and water spells to practice defense with the black steel mirror and silver shield."

Yulou nodded, sat cross-legged in front of the ancestor, and began to use elixirs to restore his magic power.

In the past three months, his practice pace has been very simple.

Practicing Qi can improve your cultivation, tracing the meridians can expand them, and while tracing the meridians, you can also exercise your spiritual consciousness.

When they were exhausted from training, they were pulled out by the ancestor to practice fighting.

When you are exhausted from fighting, just take a magic pill to restore your mental and spiritual state, then have a good sleep for an hour, and then you can start a new round of practice.

After further reducing the duration of the drug's effect, the elixir that Yulou took to assist in cultivation could increase his cultivation speed by more than six times.

With six times the cultivation speed, plus the crazy practice of only resting for one hour a day, Yu Lou's cultivation level naturally improved greatly.

The second level of Qi training itself did not have any bottlenecks or difficulties, so Yulou achieved great success in the second level of Qi training in just three months.

Breaking through to the third level of Qi training may only take a few months.

But this rapid speed of improvement in his cultivation came at a price. The elixir he took every day cost nearly thirty spirit stones in terms of materials alone, plus he had to feed four spirit fish every day.

Simply put, Yu Lou spends about 1,200 spirit stones on his practice every month.

Zhang Xuewu did not consume so many spirit stones from the time he started practicing Qi to the time he reached the fifth level of Qi training.

It can be said that Yulou is not practicing, but burning spirit stones.

The annual expenditure of the Jade Tower is approximately equal to one-third of the foundation-building resources before the ancestors distributed their favors.

That is to say, Wang Xianzhou was very powerful, and he made a lot of money in the battle between Miaofeng Mountain and Gu Shenzong. Later, he blackmailed the powerful demon Shizu for a lot of money, so he could afford such expenses for Yulou.

In comparison, the amount of spirit stones Zhou Yingxi consumed in her monthly practice might be less than half of Yu Lou's, and Lin Ying's was even further behind.

They both seemed to have higher cultivation levels than Yulou, but that was simply because they each had their own special advantages, and Yulou had no way of catching up in the short term.

Zhou Yingxi saved the time on drawing in qi, and Lin Ying practiced for thirty years longer than Yulou.

One wins at the starting line, the other wins because of age.

In the future, it is highly likely that the upper limit will not be as high as Yulou.

Now, Patriarch Xianzhou was already thinking about how to find a Taoist partner for Yulou who was from the direct lineage of the Zifu family. A quarter of an hour later, Yulou stood up, and Wang Xianzhou was a little surprised.

"Your recovery speed seems to be much faster?"

"After widening the meridians, the recovery of spiritual energy will be faster. At the same time, the refining of the elixir's medicinal power will also be faster."

"Yes, the spells on the tracer's water energy are worse than the others, and this is the only advantage."

"Old Ancestor, when you attack later, don't be too fast. If you attack too fast, I won't be able to learn anything. Let's proceed step by step, step by step."

"Little rascal, I know even without you telling me that with your mediocre level
Okay, stand further away, thirty feet, so you can see clearly how my attack unfolds."

The two men kept a considerable distance between themselves, and at this distance, when Wang Xianzhou began to attack, Yulou could clearly observe his movements and methods.

Of course, this is also the result of Wang Xianzhou deliberately slowing down his movements.

Patriarch Xian Zhou may have seen more Qi-cultivating cultivators than Wang Yulou has, and he has mastered hundreds of spells.

During each defensive training, Wang Xianzhou would launch an attack with a different combination of spells.

With such a master of fighting skills as his sparring partner, Yulou will certainly not become one of those weaklings who quickly achieves high levels of cultivation in the future.

'Torrent, followed by a square scarf made of spiritual herbs, spell type?

So it's a combination of Riptide and other unknown spells, and I'll use fire magic to break it.'

Just when Yulou was thinking about how to deal with the ancestor's attack, the ancestor stopped and looked in the direction of the Hewan Fishing Village.

Soon, Zhang Xuewu appeared in the air in the distance.

"Fellow Daoist Yulou, Fellow Daoist Rongzhou, someone is coming from Huachi Palace!"

Wang Yulou and the old ancestor looked at each other, nodded, and flew towards Zhang Xuewu on the flying boat.

The old ancestor shook his head and thought, the efficiency of the dripping cave is quite high, it will respond in three months. He thought he would have to wait at least half a year.

After finding a big rock, Patriarch Xian Zhou lay down on it and took a nap. He believed that Yu Lou could easily deal with the visitors from Huachi Palace.

"How many are here?"

Yulou and Zhang Xuewu flew side by side and asked.

“Three people, two stewards, these two are disciples of the Green Water Palace, but they are not from big clans.

A Huachi Palace patrol officer, he is quite special, he used to be a captain of the Dongtian patrol team, now he has become a disciple and got a better position. "

Zhang Xuewu explained quickly.

It turned out that the management of Huachi Palace were basically all disciples of Bishui Palace, but because the available space in Huachi Palace was almost zero, the two deacons were ordinary disciples of Bishui Palace.

The Huachi Palace Inspector, as the name suggests, is responsible for inspecting the situation of the disciples of Huachi Palace. He holds real power and is a position that only disciples of the big families and the direct elders of the Dripping Cave can hold.

“What’s your attitude?”

"This"

Zhang Xuewu glanced at Yulou secretly, but didn't dare to say it clearly, and was a little hesitant.

"Say it!"

Yulou's tone was just a little serious, so Lao Zhang didn't dare to be negligent and he quickly replied.

"Fellow Daoist Yulou, those three are all very interested in the Demon Control Platform at our Hewan Fishing Port."

The Demon-Controlling Platform is the golden platform built by Yulou.

The purpose of building gold is to polish Lao Cui and demonstrate his own power.

Now that Yulou has firmly established itself as the leader, it cannot be foolish enough to call itself Huangjintai. That would be too stupid.

So, it was named "Yuyaotai", which is considered its official name.

"Okay, let's go and take a look."

Yulou nodded without comment, accelerated the flying boat, and flew towards the Demon-Suppressing Platform.

"My three fellow Taoists have come from afar, why don't you follow Yu Lou into the mansion and have a chat?"

Wang Yulou greeted them from a distance, but he noticed that one of the three was an old acquaintance.

Wang Yaohai. Is he now the inspector of Huachi Palace?

The three of them were standing on the golden platform, and when they saw Yulou coming over, they all felt mixed emotions.

It's very simple. They are all disciples of the Bishui Palace. The lowest of the three of them has reached the ninth level of Qi training, one has reached the tenth level, and Wang Yaohai has reached the peak of Qi training.

And what about Wang Yulou? He is at the second level of Qi training!

It would be fine if he was only at the second level of Qi training, but what was even more hateful was that when Wang Yulou was at the first level of Qi training, he became the guardian monk of Hewan Fishing Port - this was a lucrative position, the kind that even the Yuan family wanted to fight for!

Initially, the Yuan family chose the safer mine guarding position over the Hewan Fishing Port, but that doesn't mean the position of the monk guarding the Hewan Fishing Port is bad.

Ji Yuan is a cultivator who guards Baimao Fishing Harbor and a foundation-building disciple of the Yuan family. Backed by him is the largest foundation-building family in Dripping Cave.

Lin Ying, the monk who guards the Fairy Mushroom Cave and the eldest daughter of the Lin family, has two Lin family members who have established their foundation behind them.

Wang Yulou, at the first level of Qi training, became the cultivator guarding the Hewan Fishing Port. The two foundation-building cultivators sent him to take up the post - everyone who should know about this knows.

"Junior Brother Yulou, I haven't seen you for a few months. You have already reached the second level of Qi training. You are indeed a young and promising person!"

Seeing the inspector speaking to Taoist Yulou in this way, Zhang Xuewu felt even more respect for Wang Yulou.

Lao Cui was gone, but Wang Yulou was not panicked. Instead, he remained calm. He simply thought that Wang Yulou was very capable and was not afraid of investigation.

Seeing Wang Yaohai's attitude today, there is no investigation at all. He is not here to investigate at all!

“Brother Yao Hai, you are too kind. You are the true genius of the Dripping Water Cave. The next step is to build your foundation.

Fellow brothers, come, let’s go into the mansion and talk in detail. Brother Xuewu and I are actually very worried about Lao Cui’s matter.

Logically, we should have informed you immediately, but you also know that Yulou is not the kind of person who doesn't care about friendship, so it took so long."

The disappearance of the guarding monk was a big deal, and Wang Yulou suppressed it for so long, which was actually against the rules.

Of course, since no consequences were caused and Wang Yulou was not at the Dripping Cave, this violation was far from being punished by a knife like Yuan Si.

"I understand, I understand. Lao Cui is also very experienced. You believe that he will come back in time, and there is nothing wrong with it.

We all know that the work ahead is difficult." The Huachi Palace steward who was at the tenth level of Qi training spoke tactfully.

When the few people entered the Yulou Mansion, they were startled by He Lao San in the courtyard.

Although He Lao San has a rather weird personality, he is a magical crane after all. Standing in the courtyard, he is so handsome and beautiful that no one would dislike him.

Wang Yaohai's evaluation of Yulou quietly rose to a higher level.

He glanced at Wang Yulou, who had instructed Qin Churan to prepare a banquet, and thought that he was indeed a noble and elegant man.

Raise magical cranes, keep beautiful maids, and live in a mansion.

This is what it means to cultivate immortality. Think about it, I only knew to pay homage to the mountain before I was about to build my foundation. People like Wang Yulou don’t need to pay homage to the mountain, but build their own mountain out of the ground. This is the one with real strength.

"Come, drink tea first. Although this tea is not a spiritual tea, it is almost the same. It is carefully cultivated by our Wang family."

While drinking tea, several people talked about Lao Cui's affairs, and finally concluded that he was "buried in the mouth of the monster".

Soon, the banquet began. Xiao Qin sat next to Yu Lou and poured wine and served him food.

Yulou introduced the way to eat spirit fish to several members of the investigation team.

“The spiritual fish in Hewan Fishing Port is nothing special, but I have come up with a way to cook the spiritual fish with spiritual wine.

Today, the fish is seasoned with ninth-grade pear blossom wine and a variety of spiritual herbs. Come, everyone, enjoy it slowly."

These three had nothing to do with Yulou, so naturally they were not qualified to drink the little remaining Jingmang wine. Wang Yulou only used Lihuaxiang to deal with it, but it was enough.

After three rounds of drinking, Lingyu had almost finished tasting. Yulou put down the wine glass, leaned on Xiao Qin's legs with a blushing face, and spoke in a meaningful tone.

"Two deacons, I have an immature little idea. If there is anything immature, I hope you can correct me."

Wang Yaohai said from the side.

"Yulou, your words are too polite. There is no such thing as maturity or immaturity. When we do our work, we always move forward amidst bumps and bruises."

Yulou and Wang Yaohai had met several times and were old acquaintances. The two had already agreed on the price and now the step was to win over the two deacons.

"It's like this. Lao Cui is a native of Hewan Fishing Port. He has now been killed by a monster. If we find another disciple from Huachi Palace to practice Qigong, it will be difficult to carry out the subsequent work.

I was thinking that there are five cultivators in the late Qi Induction stage in the Hewan Fishing Port. It would be better to wait until one of them breaks through the Qi training stage and enters the Huachi Palace, and then arrange him as the cultivator guarding the Hewan Fishing Port.

In this way, we have three garrison monks, and one of them is a local of Hewan Fishing Port, which makes our work easier.

I wonder what the two brothers think?"

The two deacons looked at each other.

It was a bit too much for Wang Yulou, who was only at the second level of Qi training, to interfere with the personnel arrangements at Hewan Fishing Port.

You can’t care so much about one meal!

"Crack! Crack!"

Seeing that the two were silent, Yulou smiled and clapped her hands.

Bai Xiaoyu came in in a panic, stood in the courtyard, and timidly looked at the people eating at the banquet inside.

The two deacons took one look at her through the door and realized that Yulou was planning to have this person take over the position of the monk guarding the Hewan Fishing Port.

He is at the tenth level of Qi Induction. He doesn’t look very old and should have double or triple spiritual roots. He will be able to break through Qi training within a few years.

"Well, Daoist Yulou, we can talk to the Palace Master about this, can we..."

Wang Yulou frowned, glanced at the deacon who was at the ninth level of Qi training, and he didn't dare to continue speaking.

'Xiaoyu, supply them now!'

'Senior Wang, isn't this too much?'

'Come on, Xiao Qian.'

Bai Xiaoyu stepped in, took out two small boxes from the storage bag and handed them to the two deacons.

"Two hundred spirit stones, a small token of my appreciation."

Zhang Xuewu's hands were shaking. There were two hundred spirit stones in one box, and two boxes meant four hundred.

Fellow Daoist Yulou, your arrogance always hurts me unintentionally and makes me dare not look directly at you.

"What do you mean, female cultivator?"

The deacon at the tenth level of Qi training was obviously dissatisfied with Bai Xiaoyu's gift, but he was looking at Wang Yulou. At the same time, the two were communicating closely through telepathy.

"Junior Brother Yulou, this is inappropriate. It is totally inappropriate."

'If you refuse, you can make up for it later. Just get it done.'

"It's not easy to pass the palace master level"

'Is it really hard?'

"Fifty more!"

Wang Yulou put down the wine glass, looked at Bai Xiaoyu, and transmitted the message.

"It's done. You did a good job. But the relationship between these two deacons is not good. They are hesitant to accept gifts at the same time. You can go down with the box first."

How does the saying go? You have to fasten the first button of your life. Now Bai Xiaoyu is a typical example of someone who has not fastened his button properly.

Bai Xiaoyu's clumsy gift was a token of her allegiance. Once she gave it, she would be controlled by Wang Yulou forever.

The human heart is unpredictable. Even if Bai Xiaoyu regards Yulou as a benefactor, Yulou cannot be so foolish as to treat her as a little cabbage.

The big thing has been decided, and the few of them talked about it again. Lao Cui’s death, no, disappearance, the disappearance was over just like that.

In the future, the general direction of Hewan Fishing Port being completely owned by the Wang family has been determined.

After bidding farewell to the three members of the Huachi Palace inspection team, Yulou and Zhang Xuewu stood by the golden platform and started chatting.

"Old Zhang, I plan to send you to the Green Water Palace when you reach the sixth level of Qi training.

In the past few months, the headmaster has killed two guardian monks. In the future, if you enter the Green Water Palace and move around, you may be able to get a position as a guardian monk."

How to manage your own power within a large system?

Grasp the time nodes and talent echelons, and reserve positions in advance, so as to achieve the goal of sending people to key positions at critical moments.

When your own people are in key positions, many things will naturally become easier to handle.

Yulou's cultivation speed has advanced by leaps and bounds, which is inseparable from the nourishment of four spirit fish every day, but four spirit fish is far from the upper limit.

Old Zhang has a lot of opportunities to go somewhere else, so the position he leaves behind naturally belongs to Yulou.

By then, everyone will have a bright future.

"Fellow Daoist Yulou, I..."

Wang Yulou just stood there, looking calmly at the people below the stage, like an emotionless god.

Zhang Xuewu got excited and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wang Yulou several times under Qin Churan's horrified gaze.

There are monks on duty on the Demon-Controlling Platform, two of whom are inductors, plus Qin Churan and Bai Xiaoyu who are accompanying Yu Lou.

It can be said that Zhang Xuewu knelt down in front of the four younger generations and acknowledged Yu Lou, whose cultivation level was lower than his, as his master.

He knew too well what Yulou's promise meant.

Without any background or master, if a disciple of Huachi Palace wants to enter Bishui Palace, he can only compete with others after reaching the late stage of Qi training.

Of the twenty places each year, at least half will be taken by children, disciples, and wives and concubines with good backgrounds. The remaining few places are opportunities for ordinary cultivators.

Zhang Xuewu can certainly mobilize personnel, but what resources does he have to do so?
In the past, he couldn't even defeat Cui Dingyi.

Now, his only channel to obtain additional resources is the one left to him by Wang Yulou.

Wang Yulou's promise saved him at least ten years.

Ten years, ten years, how many ten years can we have in our life?

"Get up, you are not in good shape. Brother Xuewu, you have dual spiritual roots, and you may even have a chance to join the Red Lantern Society or even the Immortal Alliance in the future. Why do you look down on me like this?"

Zhang Xuewu just smiled bitterly.

Red light? Immortal Alliance?

Perhaps for a talented young man from a wealthy family like Wang Yulou, these are just normal things.

But even the identity of an inner disciple of the Red Lantern Sect is a dream that Lao Zhang will never achieve in his lifetime.

"Okay, you have to carry out the task I gave you. I don't have time to watch, but you have to see the results."

"When learning martial arts, you must give it your all!"

"Well, Xiaoyu, you have to work harder and practice Qi as soon as possible, otherwise it will be easy to change."

After saying a few words, Yulou rode the flying boat back to the valley and continued to practice fighting skills with the ancestor.

The two fought back and forth for seven or eight rounds. Late at night, the ancestor even guided Yu Lou in two practical night battles before finally returning to the Taoist temple.

After listening to Yulou's arrangements, the old ancestor nodded with satisfaction.

"Before, we only thought that you were talented in business, but now it seems that you can thrive in the sect."

Yulou smiled bitterly and shook his head. It was not that he was good, but that the starting point Wang gave him was too high.

“Yulou doesn’t dare to take credit for it, for example, I still need to make more preparations for my martial arts students.

I plan to have him take Uncle Jinyan as his master, and at the same time, have him marry a girl from our Wang family. What do you think?"

Wang Xianzhou looked at Yulou with a look of admiration in his eyes, as if he was getting to know this junior all over again.

"Yes, very good. We can't let Zhang take advantage of our Wang family for nothing.

But will Wu Jinyan agree to be his teacher so easily? "

Wang Yulou smiled and nodded, and asked back.

"Ancestor, will the Wu family definitely have another foundation-building person in the future? What if something happens to Wu Jinyan?
By allowing Senior Tie to build his foundation, the clan leader revealed the Wang family's open-minded spirit.

Our gains are more than just a simple foundation building for an outsider."

Wang Xianzhou thought about it for a while and finally understood Yulou's arrangement.

He glared at Yulou and said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Are you still going to persuade me to spend less spiritual stones on you?"

In the eyes of the ancestor, Wang Yulou is a really strange child. If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. But you are unwilling to eat the elixir for free and insist that I make more contributions to the clan.

Have I, Wang Xianzhou, made insufficient contributions to our clan?

Now that we're old, I want you to run faster, but you still have objections. This is outrageous!

“Ancestor, it’s not that you didn’t spend enough spirit stones.

Xiaobai will take Lao Cui's place, and I will discuss with Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan or Fellow Daoist Lin Ying to let someone they are familiar with take Brother Xuewu's place.

In this way, I will be able to completely control this Hewan Fishing Village, and I will be able to get more spiritual fish every day.

With more spiritual fish to nourish us, the cost of spiritual pills will naturally be much less."

"Why do you allow outsiders to come?"

Wang Xianzhou naturally didn't want outsiders to compete with Yulou for resources.

"Oh, my ancestor, Yulou can't let Wang's one-man show in the Dripping Water Cave, right?

It doesn’t fit.”

Wang Yulou certainly wants to eat alone, but in the world of immortal cultivation, no matter how high your cultivation is, as long as you are not transcendent, you must have the means to form alliances.

This guy is too arrogant. After all, the Dripping Cave is someone else's territory, so he can't be too arrogant when eating.

"I think you should marry Lin Ying first, and then kick her out after you build your foundation!"

Wang Xianzhou didn't treat Yulou as an outsider at all and spoke in a very irrelevant manner.

The old man was extremely good to him, and although the advice he gave was not very polite, it was indeed a way to maximize benefits.

Facing such a vigorous ancestor, what can Yulou do?
I can only coax.

"Even if I want to marry her, she may not agree. Old Ancestor, you are talking too far ahead."

Wang Xianzhou looked at the jade he had polished gently, with some pride and nostalgia in his eyes.

As if he had thought of something, the old ancestor snorted and said proudly.

"Hehe, wait a few years until you break through to the fourth level of Qi training. By then, it won't be a question of who you want to marry, but who you want to choose!"
