Beiyin Great Sage

The Xue and Yang families have been married for generations. Since two hundred years ago, they have firmly held the position of the leader of the Jinhuang lineage, taking over from generation to generation.

Xiaolang Island is like their private property.

The most central and prosperous place on the island is the two houses.

Every night, there are music, singing and dancing, and the lights are brightly lit.

Zhou Jia hid in the dark, deep in thought.

With his current strength, it shouldn't be a big problem to teach Yang Jinzhou a lesson, but it will definitely require arousing violence and holding an ax and shield in hand.

This will definitely reveal your identity.

Fighting against black iron at the ordinary level may cause a lot of trouble.

Moreover, Yang Jinzhou not only represents himself, but the key is the power behind him.

That's the source of the problem.

Well……

Shaking his head, Zhou Jia suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

Thoughts return to the sea of ​​consciousness.

Cultivation: Tenth level of mortal level (23/50000)

After advancing to the tenth level, the physical body has reached its limit. The next step is to repair the wounds of the past and make the physical body closer to perfection.

until...

Reach the breaking point.

This is a slow and continuous process, similar to the eighth-grade dragon and tiger, and unlike dragon and tiger, killing ferocious beasts is sometimes difficult.

Increasing strength too quickly will lead to an unstable foundation, which will affect future breakthroughs.

Unless, the physical body is perfect from the beginning.

But such people are few and far between.

Zhou Jia had been injured, and had been injured many times. Although he healed his injuries by killing ferocious beasts, his foundation was already damaged.

This is source-like damage that is extremely difficult to repair.

There is medicine.

But it cannot be achieved overnight.

Name: Zhou Jia.

Cultivation: Perfect tenth level of ordinary level.

Source Star: Tianying Star (Trait: Handling Weapons), Dimeng Star (Trait: Violence), Dimo ​​Star (Trait: Listening to the Wind), Earth Star (Trait: Dragon and Tiger), Tianxuan Star (Trait: Qiankun Can ), Earth Auxiliary Star (Characteristic: Waterbending Residual)

Kung Fu: Three Yuan Zhengfa is perfect

Martial skills: Triple shield counter proficiency, Nar secret breath technique proficiency, purple thunder axe perfection, Yinfeng life-killing sword proficiency, nine-layer climbing steps proficiency, iron body proficiency, three body steps, giant python spitting beads...

Compared to a few years ago.

The light curtain can be called a luxury.

With the advancement of cultivation, the carrying space has become a little larger, and I can already put down the shield. As for the double-edged axe, there is still some distance.

The spiritual rain technique also increases the number of years for watering spiritual plants by ten to twenty years.

…………

Fengming Tower.

One of the most famous restaurants in Shicheng.

Top floor.

Yuan Xisheng stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his clothes flying in the wind, overlooking half of the city.

His temples were white, his eyes were distant, and he said slowly:

"We, the Tianhu Gang, are involved in all kinds of businesses in the city, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, herbal medicine, weapons, brothels, escort agencies, gambling houses, etc."

"Except for the waterway freight being controlled by Tianshui Village, in other aspects, we have the upper hand."

He smiled faintly and looked back:

"After all, there are tens of thousands of brothers to support. How can we maintain it without any property?"

The Tianhu Gang's industry covers half of Shicheng, and even Fengming Tower where they are located has Lei Batian's background.

In a place like this, without any background, it is impossible to support a family.

"Senior brother is right." Zhou Jia nodded:

"What do I want to do?"

"Well..." Yuan Xisheng put his chin on his hand and said:

"Although there are many industries in the gang, there are a few businesses that are extremely profitable. They don't need many manpower and can supply a lot of Origin Stones every year."

"Junior brother, do you know what those businesses are?"

"I don't know much about business." Zhou Jia shook his head and tried to speak:

"Gambling house?"

"Not bad!" Yuan Xisheng tapped his palms and said:

"The gambling house is one of them."

Other industries, even brothels, require a large number of manpower and careful operation to make money, but gambling houses are a special case.

As long as someone is good at gambling, even if there are only two thatched huts, a large amount of money can be collected quickly.

"actually……"

After thinking about it, Yuan Xisheng whispered:

"There is a business that is more profitable than a gambling house. Unfortunately, it is occupied by the Su family. No one else can get involved except selling Five Stone Powder."

"That thing can make people drunk and sleepy. It is said that it is more enjoyable than going to a brothel. Many young men from wealthy families use it."

"certainly."

Having said this, his expression condensed:

"Junior brother, as long as you still have Zhiwu knowledge, you must never touch that thing. No, even if you have no future, you must never touch it."

"Once contaminated, the whole person will be ruined!"

"Understood." Zhou Jia nodded.

Five stones scattered...

No wonder the Ji family is so interested in the Black Emperor's Bliss Water of Star City, and seems to want to do a similar deal.

"There are three gambling houses in the city, and our Black Tiger Gang owns two, one each in the East City and the West City." Yuan Xisheng said:

"Some time ago, there was chaos in Xicheng due to military conscription. Many mobs attacked various shops, and there were even more upright people who contributed to the trouble."

"Old Liao, he died at that time."

Then he explained:

"Lao Liao is the director of Xicheng Gambling House."

"Senior brother, you want me to take care of Xicheng Gambling House?" Zhou Jia asked.

"Not bad." Yuan Xisheng nodded:

"The gambling house is a good business. Even if the business is bad, you can get nearly a thousand Origin Crystals in a day. If the business is good, you can get a lot of Origin Crystals into your account."

"There are always some people who are so excited about gambling that they don't care."

Zhou Jia understood.

Gambling is a bad human nature.

Unlike brothels, where you can stay as long as you want as long as you have enough money, gambling houses are bottomless pits of gold-swallowing beasts.

No matter how much money you have, you may go bankrupt in an instant.

"The gang collects accounts every ten days. There are more and less. Sometimes there are nearly ten thousand source stones. You can't be less than this number." Yuan Xi said seriously:

"Lao Liao has been confused a few times before, which almost made the gang leader angry. If he hadn't been seen as an old man who has been with the gang leader for decades, he would have been kicked out long ago."

"Don't make the same mistake."

"As long as it worked in the past, it won't be a big problem in the future." Zhou Jia's expression was casual.

If it really doesn’t work, the worst possible outcome is to quit!

"you……"

Yuan Xisheng observed the words and expressions, and couldn't help but look helpless:

"There are many benefits to joining a gang. Among other things, if you advance to the tenth level, you will definitely have enough chalcedony pills to cleanse your essence and cut down your marrow."

"The secrets of the exercises and the guidance of famous teachers are no worse than those on the island. They also have a lot of monthly money..."

"Chalcedony Pill?" Zhou Jia's eyes moved slightly, but he automatically ignored other benefits:

"I heard that the gang also sells prescription pills?"

This elixir is a magical elixir that can repair fundamental wounds. It is also something that every tenth-level master must take.

"Not bad." Yuan Xisheng nodded:

"But there is no point in asking for the elixir. Without refining the medicine, many of the medicines in it will take a certain amount of years. How can one person get them all?"

In this world, there is no stable life for you to cultivate herbal medicines, and only a powerful force that has been passed down for hundreds of years can have a medicinal garden.

Even if ordinary people get the elixir, it will be useless.

but……

Others are not good at this, but Zhou Jia has no big problem.

Older herbs are hard to find, but herbal seeds are definitely not expensive. After being watered with the spirit rain technique, they may be more effective than the Bangli elixir.

"I'm just curious." After getting the answer, a smile appeared on Zhou Jia's face.

"sit!"

Yuan Xisheng shook his head:

"There will be some friends coming later, let me introduce them to you. In the city, there are still some rules to follow, unlike other places."

Zhou Jia understood.

This is the meaning of the imperial court.

Although it is secretly said that whoever is stronger is right, the rules cannot be broken, otherwise the whole city will be in pieces and it will be unsustainable.

In Shicheng, there is a government office.

The Yamen is responsible for managing things in the city and investigating cases.

The city lord's Yamen doesn't care how the Tianhu Gang and Tianshui Village fight overtly and covertly, but if something happens to a wealthy family in the city for no reason, they will definitely intervene.

This is also the final bottom line.

"There are many experts in the City Lord's Mansion and the Yamen." Yuan Xisheng said:

"Some people, maybe for the so-called justice, maybe because they want to have a place to live, but don't want to join the Jianghu sect, they often join it."

"Well……"

"People are coming!"

As one of the six guardians of the Tianhu Gang and a master of black iron, the people Yuan Xisheng wanted to introduce to Zhou Jia were naturally not ordinary.

Thunder prisoner!

The fourth son of Lei Batian is also the biological son of Mrs. Lei.

In addition to Mrs. Lei, Lei Ba Tianshang married several concubines who also had his own blood. Lei Qian was considered the best among them.

At a young age, he is already at the peak of the ninth rank.

Different from Lei Batian's rugged appearance, Lei Qiao's appearance is extraordinary and his temperament is free and easy, somewhat similar to Shan Muhua.

The nephew looks like the uncle, as expected.

There is another daughter, named Chen Ying, who is the only daughter of Elder Chen. She also has a ninth-grade cultivation level.

Zhou Jia didn't care much about their cultivation. He just glanced at them and fell on the swords and swords on them.

Black Iron Mysterious Soldier!

Second generation!

"Some time ago, the water in the Datang River was turbulent and washed down several villages. Some sharks even ran out and killed many people."

"A few days ago, a batch of goods escorted by the Scarlet Xiao Army was robbed halfway by Mi Chen's lineage. They are now being traced. How brave you dare to provoke the Scarlet Xiao Army."

"I heard it's a batch of spiritual materials and source crystals?"

"..."

With Yuan Xisheng's mediation, the young people gradually became familiar with each other, and Zhou Jia also learned a lot of information from the two of them.

If you are not at a high level, you will definitely not understand this kind of news.

"Huh?"

As she spoke, Chen Ying's beautiful eyes flashed and she said:

"Over there, it seems to be the deacon of Xicheng Casino?"

Several people tilted their heads.

In the restaurant diagonally across from Fengming Tower, several people were sitting and chatting. Among them, two middle-aged men were the deacons of the gambling house.

Too far away to hear what they were saying.

It was Chen Ying's outstanding eyesight that allowed her to recognize people.

"What a coincidence." Lei Prisoner smiled and said:

"Brother Zhou, why not ask them to come over and recognize you, the incoming supervisor?"

"Forget it." Zhou Jia sighed softly, a strange flash of light seemed to flash in his eyes, and then he shook his head slightly:

"They haven't taken office yet, so there's no need to disturb them. Just let them be."

"That's fine."

A few people didn’t force it.

Shortly after.

The few people said goodbye and left. Zhou Jia went to the gang station alone and obtained the prescription of Chalcedony Pill with the help of Yuan Xisheng's token.

Then he changed his identity several times and bought the necessary herbal seeds from various pharmacies in the city.

Finally, he returned to the house he bought in Shicheng.

The house was remote, quiet, and valuable. Fortunately, he had plenty of source crystals in his hand, so he didn't care about the small amount of money, and even opened a secret room.

Used to grow herbs.

Just prepare the elixir.

With the secret medicine of Three Yuan Zhengfa and the Chalcedony Pill, he can also make rapid progress at the tenth level.

As for the gambling house...

Don't worry about external matters.

Restaurant.

Deacon Zou held a cigarette rod in his hand and was puffing away smoke.

"Found out."

Xiao Liu spoke in a low voice:

"The newly arranged supervisor's name is Zhou Jia. He is Protector Chen's younger brother. He is a disciple of the Jinhuang lineage of Xiaolang Island. His strength is comparable to that of the tenth grade."

"I once killed a ninth grader with an axe."

"Zhou Jia." Deacon Wen said thoughtfully:

"It seems that Protector Chen also wants to install his own people in the gang."

"That's a black iron master." Deacon Zou chuckled:

"There are only three black irons among the six guardians. How can you and I control these people if they want to deploy people?"

For Zhou Jia, he didn't care much.

Ninth grade,

He is indeed a master in other places, but in the Tianhu Gang, he can only barely be considered the top.

Not to mention black iron.

Below the sixth level, one can quickly climb up the ranks by killing ferocious beasts.

There are people doing similar business in the city, catching ferocious beasts for people to kill to increase their cultivation.

As long as you live long enough, practice diligently, and have family help, you can almost reach the eighth, ninth or even tenth level.

Deacon Zou is a tenth-grade master.

It's just that he reached the tenth rank a little late, at the age of forty-nine. After a few more years of recuperation, there was no hope of a breakthrough.

It is said that it is the tenth grade, but its strength may not be as strong as that of the ninth grade, but a short burst of power still has the power of the tenth grade.

There are many people like him.

"That's right." Deacon Wen nodded:

"What do you think, Brother Zou?"

"Old rules." Deacon Zou said:

"We just have to do our part. No one comes to the gambling house and we don't earn enough Origin Stones. Is it still wrong?"

"When doing business, harmony is the most important thing."

"Brother Zou." Deacon Wen frowned and said with displeasure.

"We're not outsiders, so why bother talking about him? Don't tell me that you didn't secretly set up a secret workshop to reap benefits."

There are only three major gambling houses in the city, but there are many more secret gambling houses.

Lying on the Tianhu gang gambling shop to suck blood, finding out is not a trivial matter.

"Ah……"

Deacon Zou raised his eyebrows:

"Zou has a sense of proportion. It's just a small fight there, it's nothing."

"If Director Zhou is willing, I don't mind sharing it with him. Just like Director Liao before, how much money can I make from the monthly salary from the gang?"

"Really?" Deacon Wen obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't say much and asked instead:

"Wang family, how are you doing?"

"A broken home." Deacon Zou curled his lips:

"He is addicted to gambling and has taken Wu Shi Powder. There is no hope of saving him. Let him taste the benefits now and we will collect the money later."

"Yes." Deacon Wen nodded:

"His wife and daughter have been attracted by Mr. Su. When the money owed by Mr. Wang is paid, don't forget to tell me. Mr. Su will benefit from us."

If you don't pay enough, you will naturally have to sell your wife and daughter.

As for not wanting to sell...

When the time comes, how can we not sell it if we don’t want to?

"You still have a bright future." Deacon Zou grinned:

"Even the Su family can build connections. No wonder they are not afraid of the new supervisor."

"Just kidding." Deacon Wen said with a smile:

"I'm just an errand boy, no match for Deacon Zou."

"Hey..." Deacon Zou chuckled and exhaled softly. The smoke filled the air, but something strange and incomprehensible arose in his heart.

The daughter surnamed Wang is extremely charming, and it is normal for her to be liked by others, but his wife is already a yellow-faced woman, so what's so strange about her?

Weird quirks!

Shaking his head, he said calmly:

"As for Zhou Jia, it's actually simple. Let him know that the gambling house business is not that easy, and he will naturally cooperate with us."

"I have a friend who is very successful in this industry and is known as Thousand Hands."

"Oh!" Deacon Wen's eyes lit up:

"Can you believe it?"

"Unless I die." Deacon Zou looked sideways, with disdain on his face:

"Otherwise, he would never betray me."
