Beiyin Great Sage

"Plop!"

Li He and Zhao Kuo looked embarrassed and angry, fell to their knees heavily, and spoke in a muffled voice:

"My subordinates are incompetent. They failed to get things done and even brought trouble to the Lord."

"Um."

Zhou Jia sat upright with an expressionless face:

"Tell me what happened one by one."

"yes."

Li He calmed down before telling the story, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"The man named Xue must have betrayed us and handed us over to hold the vat. He is a shameless villain. I will kill him next time I meet him!"

Zhao Kuo said nothing, his eyes cold.

The two of them were detained in the Jushan Gang Prison for nearly a month. Although they did not suffer any external injuries, they were still tortured and their breath was dying.

not only that.

All the storage bags and spiritual talismans on his body were looted, and even the external elixir given to Li He by Zhou Jia was taken away by Xing Zhaoju.

Only the portable Xuanbing, which was refined with painstaking efforts, remained.

This situation was beyond Li He's expectation. It was obvious that the Jushan Gang had given their leader little respect for this 'legendary species'.

Knowing that the two of them had gained freedom in exchange for their divinity, they felt even more unwilling.

"good."

Tianhe nodded bitterly:

"Thanks to our trust in him, he actually betrayed us. Should we let Ji She secretly kill him?"

"..."

Zhou Jia shook his head.

There is no point in killing Xue Tianmai, and if you do it at this time, as long as the people of the Jushan Gang are not stupid, they will know that it was his handiwork.

Not only is it useless, but it will offend the deputy gang leader Yan Zhi.

It is more likely that this will arouse the hostility of the entire Jushan Gang, just to regain an insignificant face, and the gain outweighs the loss.

"Zhao Kuo is new here and has an upright temperament. It's understandable that he didn't know about this." Looking at the two people below, Zhou Jia spoke slowly:

"But Li He, you have always been prudent in your work, and you were completely unaware of Xue Tianmai's strange behavior. You should be punished, and you should be punished with a monthly salary for the next three years."

"..." Li Hegang gritted his teeth and nodded heavily:

"yes."

"You all go out." Zhou Jia waved his hand gently:

"Li He stays."

"yes."

Tianhe and Zhao Kuo responded, bowed and retreated, and closed the door.

"Your Majesty." Li He knelt down and said:

"This subordinate is incompetent, please punish me!"

"The punishment has been paid." Zhou Jia said in a calm voice:

"You were doing things for me after all. Even though you were negligent, you still suffered the pain of prison, and even had your accumulation taken away from you."

"Um……"

He pondered for a moment and then changed the subject:

"What is the name of the method you practice?"

"Your Majesty." Li He raised his head and replied:

"It's Taixu Gong."

Taixu Gong has a lofty name, but in fact it is just a relatively common silver practice method. However, it contains exercises, source techniques, and secret techniques, which is also rare for casual practitioners.

"Bring it here." Zhou Jia stretched out his hand:

"Let me see."

"..." Li He opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he immediately lowered his head and used his spiritual thoughts to create a book:

"Your Majesty, please watch."

He didn't think Zhou Jia would covet the method he practiced.

After all, it's not a top inheritance.

As the master's maid, Tianhe's practice of the Seven Mysterious Techniques of Tongtian is far stronger than that of Taixu Gong, and the gap between the two is like a world of difference.

The only advantage of Taixu Gong is that it has a complete set of inheritance.

"Uh-huh!"

The stream of light rolled by, and the Taixu Gong had already appeared in the light curtain of the sea of ​​consciousness. The heavenly Huixing enlightened the Dharma and the earthly star Dao and Fruit responded accordingly.

"Buzz..."

With Zhou Jia tapping his finger, a green fruit appeared in front of Li He.

"have eaten!"

"ah?"

Li He was stunned, looked at the green fruit in front of him, gritted his teeth, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Since he has been punished for three years, there should be no need for the Lord to continue to torture himself. Even if there is another punishment, he can only bear it.

The green fruit enters the mouth with sourness and astringency.

smell……

Even if it is an ordinary green fruit, there is nothing surprising about it.

but,

The next moment.

"boom!"

Ripples suddenly appeared in his mind, and countless insights about Taixu Gong suddenly emerged, one after another, filling his entire consciousness.

Many puzzles about the past exercises have been answered one by one.

Just like an ignorant apprentice who suddenly becomes proficient in the key points, and then looks at the skills he has practiced, a feeling of sudden enlightenment emerges.

Secret techniques, source techniques, martial arts...

Advance to enlightenment!

Li He can be sure that even if someone has been immersed in Taixu Gong for thousands of years, they may not have the deep understanding he has at this time.

Everything involved in Taixu Gong is under your control!

even.

As long as he is given a few years to concentrate on practice, he will definitely be able to achieve the fifth level, and even reach the sixth or even seventh level in his lifetime.

Li He's eyes were dull and he looked up blankly. He looked at Zhou Jia as if he were looking at the unattainable god, and his mood was endless.

There were even tears in his eyes.

Such means!

It can be called...

Amazing!

"Subordinate..."

Li He opened his mouth and suddenly knocked his head on the ground, his voice choked with sobs:

"Thank you Lord for your generous gift!"

"Anyone who has committed a crime shall be punished, and any meritorious service shall be rewarded." Zhou Jia's expression was indifferent:

"You have been under my sect for many years. You have worked hard every day, which has led to slow progress in your practice. Today's move should be regarded as a reward for these years."

"Yes." Li He was so excited that he couldn't control himself and just nodded repeatedly:

"Thank you, Lord."

Zhou Jia narrowed his eyes.

The Dao Fruit trait is so amazing that he usually doesn't reveal it. Only Tianhe beside him has received Dao Fruit enlightenment several times.

Li He can be regarded as a test.

As his cultivation level increased, Dao Fruit became more and more terrifying.

Once the Five Thunder Sword Technique was integrated into the Dao Fruit, it would be difficult to return to the original state for at least ten years. During this period, it was as if the technique had been completely forgotten.

now.

The Five Thunder Ax Techniques in the Black Iron Realm can be restored in three to five days.

Too much work.

I guess it’s only seven or eight years.

"alright."

After calming down, Zhou Jia spoke again:

"You know everything about Jushan Gang's ice mines and ice source marrow. Let's talk about them one by one."

"yes."

Li He forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, his mind raced, he dug out all the information about the ice mine and ice source marrow, and handed it back:

"The ice mine was discovered in the early days of the fall of the fragmented world. There was a rumor that a group of people went on an expedition to intercept and kill strange beasts..."

"Miners die every day, and mine slaves disappear. The management in the ice mine is strict, and the supervisor controls everything from life to death."

"..."

"Wait a minute." Zhou Jia stretched out his hand and said:

"You just said that there are many slaves in the ice mine who were secretly captured?"

"yes."

Li He nodded:

"It is not easy to mine ice marrow in the ice mines. Even if the silver enters the ice mines, it will not be safe. It can be said to be exchanging human lives for minerals."

"Actually, a human life is far less valuable than a piece of Ice Source Marrow. More people die in the mines every day than those who harvest Ice Source Marrow."

“In the beginning, exotic animal meat was scarce, and many people were willing to give it a try. Nowadays, starving to death rarely happens, and fewer and fewer people are willing to go to the ice mines, even if the Jushan Gang has raised the price several times. "

"Heh..." Zhou Jia chuckled:

"So, the Jushan Gang cooperates with others to secretly capture monks and work them into ice mines to mine as slaves?"

"yes."

"How many people know about this?"

"I've heard a lot about it, but there's no evidence."

This is normal. Although the Jushan Gang is not a 'reputable family', it must be done secretly.

"Who is the force cooperating with the ice mine?"

"Black Wind Bandit."

Li He seemed to have guessed something, his face was filled with excitement and some anxiety:

"The six leaders of the Black Wind Bandits, two of them are seventh level, and one is from the dark race. Their methods are brutal and their strength is amazing."

"It is said that a seventh-level silver was killed by their gang."

"Really?" Zhou Jia tapped on the table:

"Ji She!"

The voice came out, and Ji She, who was closing his eyes and recuperating from somewhere, flashed and appeared in the house:

"My lord."

"Go and check the Black Wind Bandits. It's best to find their stronghold." Zhou Jia said:

"In addition, tell others that the Black Wind Bandits have offended me, and within a year I will make them completely disappear from this fragmented world."

"?" Ji She raised her head, looked at Zhou Jia's expression, felt a chill in her heart, and then bowed and nodded:

"yes!"

*

In just a few days, a piece of news suddenly spread among the people.

The evil-doing Black Wind Bandit didn't know when he offended the mysterious owner behind Taobao House. The other party threatened to make the Black Wind Bandit disappear within a year.

This seems like a joke.

The Black Wind Bandits have been roaming the frontiers and frontiers for nearly a thousand years. The two leaders are both seventh-level silver, and no one knows who the master behind Taobao House is.

It is said that

It's just a fifth-level silver.

Why should he?

But one thing is true, it seems that he will never give up, and he has no fear in the face of the Black Wind Bandits, and he is not worried about the other party's revenge.

Seems very confident.

For a time, many speculations were rampant.

…………

"Peng!"

A desk was shattered into countless pieces of wood.

Xiao Guoliang, the leader of the Black Wind Bandit, had a gloomy face and murderous intent in his eyes. He stared at the gang members below who were reporting the news and snorted coldly:

"So, this is true?"

"Go back to the leader." Photographed by the seventh-level silver power, the spy couldn't help but tremble:

"It's indeed true. That person is collecting information about us from the public, saying that once confirmed, there will be a rich report."

"That's too much!" Huang Ding, the leader of the five, had a hot temper. Hearing this, he roared:

"The guy surnamed Zhou really thinks that since the store is in the core of the South District, we don't dare to touch him. Brother, I'm going to come and teach him a lesson."

"Fifth brother, don't be impulsive. Since the other party dares to say that, he is confident. Don't fall into the trap." The second leader Zheng Qiao shook his head gently and said calmly:

"but……"

"Why don't I remember that our sins are his?"

"I do know about this." Fengjiao, the leader of the Sixth Group, smiled and said:

"This man named Zhou Yi has been secretly trading ice source marrow with Xue Tianmai from the ice mine. Some time ago, the Jushan Gang investigated this matter closely, and Xue used Zhou Yi's men to hold up the vat."

"He probably didn't dare to do anything to the Jushan Gang, so he turned his anger on us."

"Huh!" Huang Ding snorted coldly:

"It turns out he's a cowardly guy. He thinks we, Black Wind, are easy to bully. Don't let me meet him, or we'll tear off his head and drink him."

"If that's the case, there's nothing to be afraid of." Second leader Zheng Qiao nodded:

"But why is this person so arrogant? Does he really think he has the ability to drive us all away?"

He said, shaking his head in confusion.

To know.

Their Black Wind Bandits are not ordinary gangsters. They have two seventh-level gangs and many high-level silvers. They have been roaming the borderlands for hundreds of years without any problems.

How could they not have offended anyone in all these years?

But he has been living well.

Natural means are great.

No matter what.

Even if they are not opponents, they can still escape. The word "black wind" means that the bandits come and go like the wind and are elusive.

Except for a few leaders, no one knows where they are stationed.

Let the Black Wind Bandits disappear within a year...

dream!

"Report!"

At this moment, a shout came from outside, and a spy hurried into the hall, panting heavily, kneeling on one knee and saying:

"Reporting to the leaders, our station in the South Valley has been destroyed!"

"What?"

The expressions of several people changed drastically.
