Beiyin Great Sage

South area.

Zuiyue Tower.

After the expansion of Yugui Sect, the core area now has 108 shops, of which only five are specialized in restaurant business.

The most famous one is Zuiyue Tower.

This building is suspended in mid-air, lying on the clouds, surrounded by rays of light and flying fairy birds. The seven-story pavilion is like a place of immortality.

Those who can enter this place are by no means ordinary people.

"Bah!"

The birds roared.

A white crane fell in the clouds, and Cai Yuzhen, dressed in white, floated down from the crane's back, like a fairy descending from earth, walking into the restaurant.

Top floor.

There was already someone waiting.

Xing Zhaoju was born in the Chongyuan sect. He was proficient in water magic and had reached the seventh level for 800 years. He even received a treasure that could extend his life for a thousand years.

He is well-informed and powerful, but he is becoming more cautious in doing things.

"Elder Cai!"

"Elder Xing!"

The two had seen each other and sat opposite each other.

"Speaking of it." Xing Zhaoju stood up and poured tea and water in person:

"The owner behind Taobao Residence has always been quite mysterious. I didn't expect him to be an old friend of Elder Cai, or an immortal?"

"I am indeed familiar with Daoyou Zhou." Cai Yuzhen first acknowledged the relationship, then shook his head and asked:

"Is this true?"

"It's correct!" Xing Zhaoju nodded and sighed:

"The ice mine produces as few as ten or as many as twenty ice marrows every day. Each one is extremely precious, and it has been strictly forbidden to spread it to outsiders from the beginning."

"Nowadays, there are people who are treasonous and leak out hundreds of coins every year. This is the gang's loss!"

Hundreds of them!

Cai Yuzhen's beautiful eyes shrank.

This is not a small amount!

The ice mine produces only four to five thousand pieces of ice marrow every year, half of which are owned by the gang leader, deputy gang leader, and a dozen elders.

The gang leader alone accounted for most of them.

In addition, those who have made great contributions to the gang will be rewarded, visiting distinguished guests as gifts, and performing tasks will also be used as rewards.

Such a point.

Even seventh-level elders only get twenty or thirty coins a year.

"So many?"

Cai Yuzhen frowned:

"Are you sure that they all fell into the hands of fellow Taoist Zhou?"

"How can you be sure of this?" Xing Zhaoju sneered:

"Elder Cai should also know that the ice mine has been controlled by the deputy gang leader before, and there are some things that are not suitable for further investigation. However, ten ice source marrows were recovered from this transaction."

"Ten coins at a time, one year..."

"Definitely indispensable!"

"Well..." Cai Yuzhen pondered:

"What does Elder Xing plan to do?"

"Let's talk after we meet the person first." Xing Zhao leaned back and said slowly:

"If it's really an immortal species and it's still a seventh-level one, it doesn't hurt to show off your face. I think even the gang leader won't say anything."

"If not..."

"Miss Cai is familiar with him. Do you know his origin?"

"I have not known Daoyou Zhou for a long time. I only know that he is very powerful. As for his identity and background..., I don't know." Cai Yuzhen shook his head gently.

"oh!"

Xing Zhaoju raised his eyebrows:

"In other words, not very familiar?"

"Elder Xing."

Cai Yuzhen knew the meaning of his words. If he answered unfamiliarly, he might very well embarrass Zhou Jia. He immediately pondered for a moment and said:

"In my opinion, Fellow Daoist Zhou is not that kind of person. Although Yu Zhen has only known him for a short time, we feel like confidants."

Xing Zhaoju slowly sat up straight and his expression became solemn.

The Elder Cai in front of him actually chose to protect that person even though he knew that the other person was at fault. This friendship...

"It seems that that person should really be an immortal!"

In his opinion, only his status as an immortal species could make Cai Yuzhen value him so much.

"That's not necessarily true."

Unexpectedly, Cai Yuzhen shook his head gently:

"Fellow Daoist Zhou doesn't seem to be an immortal."

"No?" Xing Zhaoju looked surprised, then laughed:

"Interesting, interesting."

"Here he comes, let's meet him!"

He said and stood up.

Zhou Jia raised his head, and even though he had not used his gaze to the sky, he could still 'see' the two figures and the two breaths above him.

One of them is as deep as the sea, like heavy water swirling in the Milky Way, and an invisible pressure falls on my heart.

Xing Zhaoju should be the protagonist of this trip.

The other one is like biting ice, or like the bright white snow, it is astonishingly cold, giving people a feeling that it can only be viewed from a distance but not played with.

It’s Cai Yuzhen.

"clatter……"

"clatter!"

Walking up to the top floor, Zhou Jia smiled and cupped his fists at the two of them:

"Zhou is a step late. Please forgive me. This must be Elder Xing of the Jushan Gang. He is indeed very impressive!"

"I don't dare." Xing Zhaoju's expression was indifferent and he replied politely:

"We are here early. Fellow Taoist Zhou, please take a seat."

"Brother Zhou." Cai Yuzhen nodded.

"Please, both of you!"

Zhou Jia clapped his hands lightly:

"Housekeeper, let's serve food and wine."

"yes."

The shopkeeper below heard the news and arranged for the kitchen to prepare the dishes.

The three of them sat opposite each other and did not talk about business. Instead, they talked about the past years like friends they had not seen for many years.

Especially what has happened since the emergence of the fragmented world.

"Things are tough."

Cai Yuzhen sighed:

"No matter which world you are in, the jungle is always the strongest. Things are fine in the Ancient God's Domain. Only when you step into the frontier wilderness do you realize that stability is rare."

"Yes." Zhou Jia nodded:

"Cultivation and strength are the fundamentals, there must be no slacking off."

"Having said that." Xing Zhaoju interface:

"It's normal to want to pursue something, but if you ruin other people's affairs, it will easily offend people's taboos and cause trouble. Do you think this is true, Fellow Daoist Zhou?"

"good."

Zhou Jia nodded and saw that the food and wine had been served. He waved his sleeves lightly and closed the door gently. At the same time, an invisible attitude enveloped the room:

"Zhou just heard about the matter of Ice Source Marrow not long ago. Someone came to us and made some deals with each other."

"I never thought..."

"It's really a sin that I didn't get permission from the Jushan Gang."

"Ha!" Xing Zhaoju chuckled:

"Bingyuan Marrow is the property of the Jushan Gang and is prohibited from spreading to outsiders. This is known to everyone. It seems unreasonable for Fellow Daoist Zhou to say that he doesn't know, right?"

"Otherwise." Cai Yuzhen said hurriedly:

"Brother Zhou is an ascetic cultivator and doesn't care about worldly affairs. If he says he doesn't know, I will believe him."

"I really don't know." Zhou Jia's expression remained unchanged:

"But now that we know it, Zhou has nothing to say, and he will definitely not trade in the future. You two can bear witness."

"Really?" Xing Zhaoju raised his hand and rubbed his chin:

"Xing doesn't want to delve too deeply into the past, but this incident made the gang leader furious, and he strictly ordered me to investigate the matter thoroughly."

"Elder Xing." Cai Yuzhen said:

"It's not surprising that those who don't know are not to blame, and the lost ice source marrow has also been circulated, which is enough to give the gang leader an explanation. As for Brother Zhou..."

She looked sideways, her eyes signaling.

Zhou Jia understood and said:

"Although it was not unintentional, Zhou broke the rules of your sect and deserves to be punished. I have some Yanyang treasure medicine in my hand to make compensation."

"Besides, my two servants have offended me a lot. Please help me discipline them. I will give them a good scolding when I get back!"

With that said, he handed over a storage bag.

Cai Yuzhen reached out to take it, and subconsciously swept it inward with her spiritual mind, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and then handed it to Xing Zhaoju.

Origin treasure medicine!

This weight...

When he saw the contents of the storage bag, Xing Zhaoju had to admit that he was moved.

The other party is an immortal species with great strength, and his fellow gangster Elder Cai is on the side to make peace, so it is not impossible for the matter to end here.

perhaps,

Make a small fortune and earn some benefits for yourself?

As my thoughts turned, a wisp of breeze drifted into my ears.

"Elder, after my humble investigation, I found that this person is neither an Immortal nor a Legendary. He is just an ordinary silver and only has a fifth-level cultivation level."

Um?

Xing Zhaoju's face darkened.

Zhou Jia's ears trembled slightly, and Ting Feng also heard this hidden voice transmission, and his expression couldn't help but change.

"snort!"

Sure enough, after knowing that Zhou Jia was not an immortal species and that his cultivation level was no more than this, Xing Zhaoju felt disdain and anger mixed in his heart, and finally turned into a cold snort and said:

"With Elder Cai coming forward, it stands to reason that Xing has to give him this face, but unfortunately, the two subordinates of fellow Taoist were just suppressed by the execution hall not long ago."

"Although Xing's surname is Xing, he cannot interfere in the affairs of the Xingtang. Moreover, the ice source marrow has been stolen for many years, which has caused huge losses to our gang."

“Fellow Taoist, you don’t think that’s enough, right?”

He said with a cold smile and threw the storage bag in his hand over.

It would be fine if it was an immortal species. A mere fifth-level silver with some connections actually dared to pretend in front of him?

court death!

"Snapped!"

The storage bag fell heavily to the ground, which also meant that the mood of several people changed drastically.

"Elder Xing." Cai Yuzhen's pretty face turned cold:

"What do you mean?"

"Elder Cai!" Xing Zhaoju looked directly at him and said coldly:

"Don't forget your identity. The ice source marrow is related to the future continuation of the Jushan Gang. The leader of the gang has repeatedly warned that no mistakes should be made."

"Now that a thief has been found, do you want to protect him?"

"伱..." Cai Yuzhen's expression changed drastically and he stood up suddenly.

"How am I doing?" Xing Zhaoju's expression remained unchanged:

"Elder Cai wants to fight me for an outsider?"

"..."

Cai Yuzhen gritted her teeth and her pretty face turned cold:

"Okay, great!"

"Miss Cai, there is no need for this." Zhou Jia stood up, pressed down with one hand, and looked at Xing Zhaoju at the same time:

"What do you want, Elder Xing, but please speak up!"

"Easy to say." Xing Zhaoju waved his hand:

"The ice source marrow has been stolen for many years, and our gang has suffered heavy losses. It cannot be solved with just one or two sentences, and those two people cannot easily return it to you."

"so!"

He sneered:

"Every person has one divinity, let this matter be over. If not..."

Xing Zhaoju stood up slowly and said in a cold voice:

"The Jushan Gang will never let you go in this matter!"

"Elder Cai, I advise you to recognize this person clearly. He has been deceived for the sake of a false reputation that does not know whether he is genuine or not."

The sound falls.

Before the two of them could speak, they walked away.

The wine and food were still warm, and the hearts of the two people in the room were already cold.

"Brother Zhou..." Cai Yuzhen hesitated for a moment and then said:

"Don't get angry yet. This may just be a misunderstanding. When I ask Elder Xing to find out, it may be resolved."

"That's all." Zhou Jia shook his head, thought for a while, and took out two copies of ice attribute divinity from his body:

"Miss Cai is responsible for this matter. Just follow what Elder Xing said. There are two divinities here. Please also ask Miss Cai to bring my two servants back."

"This..." Cai Yuzhen was surprised at Zhou Jia's submission, and also surprised that he could easily produce two divinities, and was stunned for a moment.

After a long moment, Fang Zheng nodded:

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, Yu Zhen will definitely take care of this matter."

"Thank you."

Zhou Jia nodded and stood up.

"Brother Zhou." Cai Yuzhen stood up hurriedly and picked up the storage bag on the table:

"your things."

"Thanks to Miss Cai this time, I hope you don't mind if this thing is Zhou's wish." Zhou Jia shook his head and raised his hand to stop:

"Farewell!"

After the sound fell, he stepped towards the outside world, his face gloomy.
