Beiyin Great Sage

Regardless of anything else, the living environment on Xiaolang Island is definitely excellent.

Since most of the disciples are not on the island, there are many vacant houses and courtyards to choose from, and most of them have good views.

This place chosen by Zhou Jia is one of them.

The courtyard is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there is a stone pavilion inside. Standing in the pavilion and looking out, you can see lush scenery and elegant landscapes.

The courtyard has three main rooms, four side rooms, seven or eight unknown trees, and many flowers and plants dotted among them.

No vicious beasts, no ghosts, no disputes...

Quiet and elegant.

There was peace.

It has been three years since he came to the Xu Realm, and he has not tightened his spirits all the time. It was only then that Zhou Jia was far away from danger, relaxed a little, and lived a normal life.

"squeak……"

The door was not opened, the shaft lacked lubrication, and the sound was harsh and harsh.

Entered the house.

Rows of simple shelves came into view. There were no treasures or books on the shelves, but rather inconspicuous flower pots.

Zhou Jia took out a wooden box from his body and crushed the ice crystals inside. Zhou Jia took the frozen seeds one by one and buried them in the soil one by one.

The ice crystals melt and the seeds sink deep into the soil.

Spiritual Rain Technique!

As soon as I thought, the drizzle continued.

The rain curtain covered several flowerpots, watering them slowly. As time went by, the herbs broke out of the ground and sprouted tender sprouts.

Soon, grass stems and vines were climbing outwards, and even yellowish flowers were blooming.

The speed is so fast that it is jaw-dropping.

In this regard,

Zhou Jia has become accustomed to it.

Seven days later.

Zhou Jia inspected the herbs in the house, his eyes changing back and forth.

The spiritual rain technique transmitted from Earth's Assistant Star is indeed extraordinary. It has the ability to stimulate the growth of vegetation, and the effect is simply unbelievable.

For seven days, water from time to time.

Nowadays, when it comes to the age of these herbs, it is probably as if they have been growing outside for thirty or fifty years.

To know.

The older the herb is, the more effective it is.

The same is true for the secret medicine formula left by Luo Ping.

For many secret medicines, herbal medicines can be used as medicine if they are three years old, and ten years old is the best. As for the hundred-year-old elixir, taking it alone is as good as a precious medicine.

Spiritual medicine is used to assist spiritual practice, but it is wasted.

Chaos Yingcao, fifty years old.

Feng Zi, thirty years old.

Red blood flower, thirty years old.

…

Holding the book in his hand and comparing it with the records, Zhou Jia was thoughtful.

The effectiveness of the Spiritual Rain Technique is astonishing, but it seems to have a limit. If you continue to water the herbs at this point, it will be of little use.

This limit varies among different herbs.

The lower the quality, the higher the growing year.

Up to fifty years.

on the contrary.

Rare and strong herbs, if watered by the same amount of spiritual rain, will not grow for as many years. Thirty years is the limit.

"It should be the difference in spirituality required."

Closing the book, Zhou Jia murmured in a low voice:

"The medicinal effect of fifty-year-old Orioles Grass is similar to that of thirty-year-old Red Blood Flowers, but the inner power of the Spiritual Rain Technique is no longer enough to sustain their rapid growth."

He wasn't worried about this.

One of.

Herbal medicines that are thirty or fifty years old are more than enough to refine the secret medicine.

Two.

As his cultivation level improves, the Earth's Auxiliary Star and the Tianxuan Star are slowly being repaired, and the years for their birth will definitely become longer and longer in the future.

This is evidenced by the slightly larger carry-on space.

After carefully collecting the herbs, he turned around and walked out of the room.

Some of them were left as seeds, and the rest were slowly refined into the secret medicine needed for practice using the secret methods of the Tieyuan Sect.

Three days later.

Five black pills the size of quail eggs were placed in front of him.

Zhou Jia sat cross-legged on the futon, stretched out his hand to pick up one, and smelled it gently, and a faint herbal aroma floated into his nose.

Within the body, the source of power moves accordingly.

"Gulu..."

Open your mouth and swallow it into your belly. In just a blink of an eye, a wave of heat emerges from your chest and abdomen, instantly sweeping through your whole body and converging into your source power.

It's like burning oil in a burning fire, or like pushing a boat along with the current.

The speed of the Three-Yuan Zhengfa, which was originally running in an orderly manner, suddenly increased, and every time it runs in the body for a week, it can feel a little stronger.

A week flies by in a blink of an eye.

Zhou Jia's eyes were tightly closed, white smoke was rising from his body, his skin and flesh were slightly red, and a surge of energy was coming from his body.

I do not know how long it has been.

He opened his eyes and cast his thoughts directly into the sea of ​​consciousness.

+80!

Zhou Jia's eyes lit up and his face was filled with ecstasy.

The eighty experience of the ninth grade was completely different from that of the low grade. Even if he practiced hard day and night, it would still take seven or eight days to accumulate it.

How long has it been?

Less than two hours!

‘Eighty times at a time, the effect of the medicine has not been exhausted, and it should last for a few days. Even if the effect of the medicine weakens, it is far stronger than practicing on your own. ’

'If you calculate it this way...'

Zhou Jia's breath shortened and he couldn't help clenching his fists:

"One year!"

"It only takes one year to be promoted to the tenth rank!"

According to what Yan Ji said, the sooner he reaches the tenth rank, the more likely he is to break through to the black iron realm.

If you reach the tenth level before the age of thirty, you are nearly 70% sure of attaining the Black Iron. By the age of forty, it is already less than 30%. After the age of forty...

Xuantian Alliance will not even provide super-grade source quality to tenth-grade people after the age of forty.

certainly.

You can find a way to get it yourself, and the alliance will not care.

one year later,

Zhou Jia was not yet thirty.

"Even if you reach the tenth level, the secret medicine will still be useful. When you reach the tenth level, the possibility of a successful breakthrough will be much greater than for others."

In short,

The future is promising!

After coming to Xiaolang Island for so long, I finally met Shan Muhua.

This Mr. Bi Yan was thin, with a gaunt appearance, a sallow complexion, and dull eyes. As the rumors said, he was seriously injured.

Maybe his life is not long.

"Shan was injured back then and went to the inner sect to seek medical treatment from an expert. During that time, thanks to Mr. Bai's care, he has been able to survive till now."

Shan Muhua sat on the soft chair, gently stroking his beard, looking down at Zhou Jia with soft eyes, nodded, and handed over a handwritten token:

"I know that you joined Shan's sect just for the sake of status, but even though we have the title of master and disciple, we will not treat you badly."

"If there's anything you don't understand, come and ask me."

"I'm not here……"

He pointed to Shan Zijin beside him:

"You can also ask your senior sister. She has been with me since she was a child. Although her strength is not as good as yours, she still understands what I should know."

"Yes." Zhou Jia responded and respectfully took the handwritten letter and token.

"You have a strong source of strength and fierce strength. Your weapons are still axes and shields. I'm afraid you are not suitable for practicing my Sky-Splitting Hands." Shan Muhua lightly pressed the armrest and said:

"When it comes time to choose martial arts, just choose the Purple Thunder Sword Technique."

"This sword technique contains the power of thunder. It is a unique inheritance of Jin Huang's lineage. It matches your aura, and Senior Brother Lei is good at this technique."

"If you don't understand anything, you can ask him."

Lei Batian, whose name is very tacky, is a well-known figure in the Jinhuang lineage of the outer sect, and he is also Shan Muhua's brother-in-law.

"Yes!" Zhou Jia responded again.

"I have taken in a total of thirteen disciples, and only four of them are still alive." Taking the tea from his daughter, Shan Muhua took a sip and said:

"Except for your second senior brother Yuan Xisheng who has achieved Black Iron, there is no hope for anyone else to go further. You are very good. I hope you won't disappoint me."

"As long as my cultivation level reaches the tenth level, I will apply to the alliance for super-level source quality."

"Ahem!"

After just saying these few words, he breathed heavily and coughed repeatedly. He had to suppress his interest and waved to Zhou Jia:

"I'll be here today. If you have nothing else to do, please leave."

"Yes." Zhou Jia lowered his head:

"Disciple takes leave."

…………

"Purple Thunder Sword Technique?"

Liu was not surprised by Zhou Jia’s choice:

"Fortunately, you took Senior Shan's handwriting and there are instructions in it, otherwise it would be impossible to pass on such secret techniques to new disciples."

"Our Jinhuang lineage has three skills and six methods, and this Purple Thunder Sword Technique is one of them. Only this type of method requires application before it can be taught."

As he said that, he handed over a book:

"Return it after copying it. Remember not to spread it outside, otherwise it will be tantamount to betraying the Xuantian Alliance."

"Yes." Zhou Jia took the book and said:

"Thank you!"

Touching the secret book, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

The Purple Thunder Sword Technique is of a very high level, and even black iron masters can rely on it. Unexpectedly, it can be obtained so easily.

but……

Xuantian Alliance is not stingy about martial arts rumors.

In order to resist natural disasters, ferocious beasts, zombies and other alien species, the Dalin Dynasty once distributed martial arts secrets widely. As long as you have talent, you can practice them.

The higher the cultivation level, the better the secrets will be.

This can also be seen in Huojiabao. No matter which force it is, it does not keep secrets of martial arts secrets, unless they are secretly passed down.

Of course, good exercises also have obvious shortcomings.

Difficult to practice and difficult to master.

If you practice ordinary martial arts, you will have fighting strength in a month, and you will be proficient in it in a year. However, the Purple Thunder Sword Technique may not have been mastered for three to five years.

After half a lifetime of studying, I still haven’t mastered much.

This is not uncommon.

How to choose is all up to you.

"The other two techniques, junior brother, which one should you choose?"

"Senior brother, do you have any advice?" Zhou Jia asked after putting away the secret book.

"Well..." Liu pondered for a moment, turned around and took out a secret book:

"The Qi Watching Technique can be used to see whether the aura of others is strong or not. It has a high level and can even tell the level of other people's cultivation at a glance. It is a must-have technique for brothers."

Zhou Jia raised his eyebrows.

He was once seen by someone who saw the depth of his cultivation level at a glance. He was shocked at the time. Such techniques were useless for cultivation, but they were of great use.

"I want it!"

"Can I owe you the other door first?"

"Of course." Liu Yi nodded:

"Not only can it be owed, but it can also be sold. Do you want me to introduce you to a buyer?"

"That's unnecessary." Zhou Jia waved his hand.

He doesn't lack skills now, but who knows if he will need them in the future. He doesn't lack Origin Stones for the time being, so he might as well leave the opportunity.

Chalcedony wheat.

If taken care of carefully, the yield per mu can reach 800 kilograms.

This wheat does not promote cultivation, but it can repair hidden wounds in the human body. It is indispensable for those who want to achieve the Black Iron.

"Old slave, come before the Lord!"

Lao Chu is over 70 years old and has been growing chalcedony wheat on the island for half his life. He knows how to take care of it.

Fish are raised in paddy fields, and the fish meat is fresh and tender, which can greatly replenish the essence. For people below the sixth level, the fish on Xiaolang Island are treasures, and the paddy fields are not far away.

"Um."

Zhou Jia inspected the wheat ears and nodded slowly:

"This is still left to you. Your family's tax-free quota will continue to be retained."

It was impossible for him to spend time taking care of the fields, and chalcedony wheat was indispensable, and fishing could also be exchanged for money. Since Lao Chu had been working for most of his life, he might as well continue working.

As for watering with spiritual rain...

Doing this is too conspicuous, and it would be even worse if it attracts the attention of others.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lao Chu was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.

"I heard..." After thinking for a while, Zhou Jia said:

"Every outer disciple has five quotas that are exempt from taxes and military service. Why are there only two on this Xiaolang Island?"

"This..." Lao Chu hesitated for a moment, looked around and saw no one else, then whispered:

"In the early years, there were indeed five places, but they were all taken back later. I heard... I just heard that they were sold to other people."

"That's it." Zhou Jia understood and was not too surprised by this.

…………

pier.

The boat rocked back and forth on the water.

Luo Xiuying was wearing a pink skirt, her pretty face was pale, her eyes were filled with tears, she curtsied to Zhou Jia, her voice was choked with sobs:

"Uncle Zhou, I...I'm leaving."

"Yeah." Zhou Jia put his hands behind his back and nodded slowly with an expressionless face:

"When you go over there, don't cause trouble. Get familiar with the surrounding environment at the Chu family first. With your sixth-grade cultivation, you will definitely live a good life if you don't cause trouble."

"I know you want to open a martial arts gym and teach the Tieyuan sect martial arts, but there are many forces in the city. You should pay more attention to yourself and don't cause trouble."

"Yes." Luo Xiuying lowered her head, tears falling:

"I'll pay attention."

She had been taken care of since she was a child. Even after the martial arts school collapsed, her father took care of her. Even after Luo Ping died, there was still Zhou Jia.

Now that I have left, I am truly alone.

You need to go through everything by yourself.

For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a little confused, and even more panicked about the uncertain future.

But she also knew that she couldn't ask Zhou Jia to do more.

Just because of her father's dying instructions, the other party kept her with him, and now he even gave her a tax-free quota.

The favor is complete.

"Uncle Zhou!"

Luo Xiuying knelt on her knees and kowtowed heavily until her forehead was bruised and swollen:

"I am leaving."

The boat slid on the water and gradually disappeared into the clouds and mist.

Luo Xiuying stared blankly at the dock in the distance until a faint voice floated in the wind.

"You can come see me if you have time."

"Uncle Zhou..."

Her delicate body trembled slightly, and her face burst into tears for a while.
