Beiyin Great Sage

Zhou Jia weighed the money bag in his hand, shook his head, and looked speechless.

"I have never heard of people who owe star coins on credit when they make offerings. In the past three years, I have not received the full amount of the offering money from you."

He looked at Ye Li, who was standing with his head lowered, and said:

"In the first year, there were 20,000 star coins, and we owed 10,000 on credit; last year, we had 16,000 star coins, and we owed 14,000 on credit; this year we only have 10,000, and the remaining 2,000 can be paid with weapon refining materials."

"You are very disciplined. Your money is getting less and less."

"Senior." Ye Li whispered:

"It's eleven thousand three hundred."

"Is there any difference?" Zhou Jia put down his wallet and sighed helplessly:

"It's just a loan on credit. You also borrowed five loads of source-quality medicine from me. Those medicines can be sold for tens of thousands of star coins, right?"

"Based on this, I will end up pouring money in!"

If you think about it carefully, there is no one who can do as much as him in making offerings.

Ye Li looked embarrassed and regretted why she didn't bring Shi Jian over too. It wouldn't be too embarrassing if someone was with her.

"senior."

She raised her head carefully and said:

"Business is often not easy to do when it first starts, and last year we encountered a group of scammers, which resulted in a lot of losses..."

"But don't worry!"

She vowed:

"After these three years of hard work, we have opened up business routes. Business will definitely get better and better in the future, and we will definitely not be short of your money next year."

"I heard this the year before last." Zhou Jia said angrily:

"Unfortunately, the result is not what you said."

"Senior." Ye Nanyin took a step forward and spoke crisply:

"Don't blame aunt, she works very hard, and the business has really improved this year, and she will make a lot of money soon."

"in addition……"

She took out a few books from the package beside her and said:

"We collected many things left by the powerful silver men from some declining families of the Jiuyi Sect and brought them back together."

"A lot of money was spent on them."

"Yes." Ye Li forced a smile and rubbed Ye Nanyin's head:

"Nanyin did all of this. Senior, despite her young age, she does things in a decent manner. I heard that senior asked her to work extra hard."

While talking, Zhang Jian had already taken the book and sent it to Zhou Jia.

There are only a few books, but there are a lot of things inside. It is a bound volume of many documents, all of which are indeed written by the strong man of silver.

"Muji Silver Test"

"Golden Creature Exploration and Questioning"

"Nine Barbarians and Three Wonders"

…

It could be seen that the two women worked very hard on these booklets, although most of the contents were of little use to Zhou Jia.

But other people’s experiences, even erroneous experiences, have certain reference significance.

Such things are not difficult to collect.

After all, these are all things left by the deceased Bai Yin. The truly valuable ones will probably not be sold, but it will definitely be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

"Um."

After flipping through the book, Zhou Jia's expression softened and he nodded towards Ye Nanyin:

"Yes, the girl is interested."

"Yes." Ye Li said hurriedly:

"Senior, you don't know that Nan Yin worked hard all night long to read these books. Finally, his hard work paid off."

"If you regard reading as a chore, then there is no need for it." Zhou Jia shook his head gently, thought for a while, and took out a fruit from the universe space:

"When I was in Yuan City a few years ago, I met a foreigner named Bai Yin, and got a few fruits from his hands that could help me understand the techniques."

"Take this piece of shit!"

As he spoke, he flicked his fingers, and the fruit fell into Ye Nanyin's hands in an arc.

And said:

"Advancing to black iron, in addition to having a solid foundation, is how to understand the meaning of black iron. This thing can help you."

"Thank you, senior." Ye Li's eyes lit up, and he pulled Ye Nanyin to kneel down:

"Quickly, thank you senior."

"Nanyin, thank you senior."

"alright."

Zhou Jia waved his hand:

"Go down, I hope you can bring some good news next time you come."

"Yes, yes." Ye Li nodded hurriedly, kowtowed repeatedly before pulling Ye Nanyin up, exiting the room step by step and bowing to say goodbye.

"aunt."

On the way, Ye Nanyin blinked and asked:

"Those booklets are obviously all your work. I just helped a little bit. Why do you say it was me?"

"It's very simple." Ye Li sighed and said:

"Senior doesn't like me and even complains about what we do. Even if I make some achievements, it won't change his opinion."

"But you are different."

She rubbed Ye Nanyin's hair and said:

"You are obedient and smart. You have become a high-ranking mortal at a young age. No one dislikes you. Just like this time the credit is given to you, seniors will be rewarded."

"But……"

Ye Nanyin pouted:

"Isn't this a lie? Will senior be angry if he finds out?"

"Heh..." Ye Li chuckled when he heard the words:

"Girl, with our little thoughts, you think senior can't see it. He knows very well, he just doesn't care."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"oh."

Ye Nanyin looked confused and nodded slowly.

Zhou Jia rode the breeze and landed on the mountainside.

A few years later, the manor here is no longer as lively as it once was, and the number of servants and servants has been greatly reduced, with only two people coming to greet them.

in previous years.

Not so.

"Where is Brother Qianjizi?"

"Back to senior, the master is resting in the side courtyard and has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Lead the way."

"yes!"

When they came to the side courtyard, Qian Jizi did not lie down to rest, but put one hand behind his back and teased the house sparrows with a straw rope in the other.

Hearing the voice, he turned around and looked over with joy on his face:

"Brother Zhou, you are here."

"Brother Qianjizi." Zhou Jia cupped his hands from afar:

"I haven't seen you for over a year. You are in great spirits!"

"Haha..." Qian Jizi stroked his beard and laughed:

"Indeed, I've been feeling better recently. I'm finally no longer groggy, and I'm able to pick myself up and deal with some trivial matters."

Zhou Jia looked at each other with eyes, the smile on his face was polite but showed a sense of alienation.

Qian Jizi is indeed in good spirits today, with a red face, bright eyes, and even the wrinkles on his face have become much flatter.

But in Zhou Jia's eyes, this was not a good sign.

But...

Come back to the light!

Just like a bonfire that is about to go out, someone stirs up some dry wood that has not been burned out, quickly releasing the last energy.

Once burned out, there is no possibility of rekindling.

The other party doesn't have many days left to live.

Qianjizi should also understand, but it is not suitable to talk about such things.

"I have lived for hundreds of years, but I have never seen someone as dedicated to seeking the Tao as Brother Zhou. I am extremely impressed."

"Brother Taoist, I'm joking. I wonder why I'm invited here this time?"

"Sit down first! Sit down and talk."

"please!"

Qian Jizi took the initiative to pick up the jug and filled Zhou Jia with wine, saying with emotion:

"If Pindao could have devoted half of Brother Zhou's attention to practicing source arts and martial arts, he wouldn't have ended up like this today."

"Unfortunately, it's too late to say this now!"

Zhou Jia didn't answer, he picked up the wine cup and signaled.

The two of them drank together, and Qianjizi seemed to speak casually:

"Brother Zhou seems to be very interested in the practice of silver realm?"

"Yes." Zhou Jia nodded and said:

"Where Zhou came from, there was no specific way to practice the Silver Realm, so it was wasted for many years. Now I can't modify it. I feel very regretful."

"So read other people's records to comfort yourself."

"Speaking of which..."

He looked at the other party and said:

"Thanks to the Thousand Machines Book given to me by Brother Taoist. The comments about Silver Level 7 also gave Zhou a new understanding of what he has learned."

"This is nothing." Qian Jizi smiled and shook his head:

"Speaking of which, in addition to the Thousand Mechanisms Book, I also have the insights left by my comrades over the past hundreds of years, all in the backyard."

"Chess slave!"

His voice mentioned.

"exist."

A breeze blew in the field, and a gorgeously dressed woman appeared not far away.

"go."

Qian Jizi pointed back and said:

"Bring me what I put on the T-shaped bookcase."

"yes."

When the woman heard the sound, her body swayed, like a wisp of smoke floating towards the backyard. If there were any mortals here, they might mistakenly think that they had encountered a ghost.

"Brother Taoist." Zhou Jia looked stunned:

"It doesn't have to be this way."

"No problem." Qian Jizi waved his hand:

"I am a dying man, and it is useless to keep these things. Since Brother Zhou likes them, I should give them to the owner who appreciates them."

"No need to give in, just let me go."

Zhou Jia was speechless, and finally sighed helplessly:

"Brother Taoist treats you so kindly, but Zhou doesn't know how to repay him."

"Hey!" Qian Jizi looked angry, took the book from the woman who returned from the backyard, and handed it to Zhou Jia:

"Let's see if it works first."

Zhou Jia was shocked and took it and opened it.

Compared with the things collected by Ye Li, the scroll in Qian Jizi's hand describes the silver realm in more detail.

Many of them involve the secrets of spiritual practice.

This will be of great benefit to him in perfecting the Seven Mysterious Techniques of Tongtian.

After just a cursory glance, Zhou Jia's expression became solemn. He flipped through a few pages carefully before looking up with a serious look on his face.

"Brother Dao, thank you very much!"

"You're welcome." Qian Jizi smiled brightly:

"As long as it works."

"Brother Taoist, Zhou deserves to be treated so kindly." Zhou Jia sighed, with gratitude on his face, thought for a while, and said:

"I don't know if my brother can be of use to Zhou. If you have any instructions, please just tell me. Zhou will be willing to go through fire and water!"

"Um……"

Qianjizi's expression changed, he hesitated, and whispered:

"There's something really wrong."

"Oh!" Zhou Jia's expression remained unchanged:

"Brother Dao, please tell me."

If there are no requirements, he will feel uneasy about getting it.

"Brother Zhou also knows that the poor Taoist lived a more debauched life in the past few years." Qian Jizi raised his head, gently stroked his beard, and spoke slowly:

"More than ten years ago, at a banquet held by fellow Taoists, Pindao impulsively imprinted his blood on a singing girl."

"..." Zhou Jia opened his mouth:

"Brother Taoist, I admire you for your strength."

"Just kidding, just kidding." Qian Jizi looked embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly:

"In hindsight, I think that the singer must have been drugged, otherwise I wouldn't have known it even with my poor concentration."

"Of course, that's all for the future. It's useless to mention it any more."

"Yes." Zhou Jia nodded.

"Later, the singer gave birth to a baby boy." Speaking of this, Qianjizi looked complicated:

"After all, it is Pindao's bloodline, so it is natural to support it, but there is a family behind Pindao, and it is difficult to deal with the sudden emergence of a bloodline."

"So I kept putting it off."

Zhou Jia understood.

This kind of thing is nothing to ordinary people. It is common for wealthy people to have three wives and four concubines when they are not in love yet.

But Qianjizi is different.

The patriarchs of the family behind him are all descendants of his great-great-grandson. Who can bear the sudden addition of a son?

It’s fine if you have a high level of cultivation.

There is no way the Zhang family would let such a person ride on their necks without any skills.

"I don't have much time left, and I haven't been able to take care of the younger generation. I feel guilty, so I want to find someone I can trust."

Qian Jizi looked regretful and stared at Zhou Jia with bright eyes.

The meaning behind the words is self-evident.

"Well……"

Zhou Jia said in deep thought:

"Why choose Zhou?"

In terms of close relationship, it was not his turn anyway. The Mo couple at the foot of the mountain had many disciples, which made it easier to take care of them.

"It's because Brother Zhou can be trusted." Qian Jizi said, waving his hand to interrupt Zhou Jia's questioning:

"Although we are not familiar with each other, people like Brother Zhou who are sincere to the Dao are definitely not willing to ruin their promises for a trivial matter."

"Am I right?"

"According to time, the child has grown up, right?" Zhou Jia tentatively said:

"What are you going to do, Brother Dao?"

"I hope that Brother Zhou can take care of him for forty years. It would be best if he could be trained into the late Black Iron stage." Qian Jizi said:

"Allowing him to spread his wings can be considered as compensation for the poor Taoist."

"..."

Zhou Jia was speechless:

"Brother Taoist, I'm afraid you are trusting someone else."

Forty years?

I really think highly of him.

"Brother Zhou, please don't refuse." Qian Jizi stretched out his hand to stop him, pointed at Qi Nu not far away, and said

"She is the maid I bought a few years ago. She has a special bloodline, is proficient in many sexual techniques, and has a mid-level black iron cultivation level."

"If Brother Zhou agrees, he can take her back with him."

"That's all."

Zhou Jia put down his books and stood up:

"Brother Dao, let's find another candidate."

"Hey!" Qian Jizi stood up hastily. Seeing Zhou Jia's firm attitude, he gritted his teeth and took out two exquisite land deeds from his arms:

"Brother Zhou, I have two houses here in Yuancheng. If you agree, one of them will be used as a thank you gift for me."

"Another place for the child."

"Yancheng House?" Zhou Jia was stunned:

"Brother Dao..."

"What a great gesture!"

Yuancheng was no different from the borderlands, and every inch of land was worth a lot of money. He had lived there for a while and knew exactly what the two houses meant.

After glancing at the land deed, if it was true, these two houses alone could be exchanged for dozens or even millions of star coins.

It’s enough for Black Iron to work hard for several lifetimes!

"This is poor Taoist's private money."

Qian Jizi smiled awkwardly:

"It was originally prepared for the child. The Zhang family doesn't know it, so even if Brother Zhou takes over the matter, it won't cause trouble."

"Well..." Zhou Jia looked at the books and land deeds, his eyes flashed for a moment, and then he nodded slowly:

"Brother Taoist is really planning for future generations."

"That being the case, Zhou agrees!"

"good!"

Qian Jizi's eyes lit up:

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet him."
