Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

December 30, 1321 in the New Yu Calendar

Main hall of Hou Mansion

Hou Yuxiao was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, sitting upright on the main seat. His body was emitting a layer of sharp black evil spirit, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Gang Qi, Gang Sha, and Dan Gang are the three realms of Gang Qi. In the final analysis, these three stages have not yet broken away from the scope of Gang. Whether it is Gang Qi, Gang Sha, or Dan Gang, they all require a steady stream of blood essence to be forged.

, which means that every time you practice, you will consume a lot of blood essence!

It seems that at this stage of cultivation, replenishing Qi and blood is crucial.

This is going to start spending money!”

After a long time, Hou Yuxiao opened his eyes and sighed softly as he watched the blood and energy in his body gradually become sluggish.

Naturally, warriors cannot nourish themselves without elixirs, and elixirs cannot be separated from the materials of rare elixirs. Naturally, the older the elixirs in this world are, the higher the essence of qi and blood they contain. Therefore, people in the world also use elixirs according to the year.

These elixirs are divided into six levels.

Those aged 10 to 50 are considered the lowest third-class elixir, those aged 50 to 200 are considered second-class, and those aged 200 to 500 are considered first-class.

The age of earth-level elixirs must be more than 500 years, and the age of heaven-level elixirs must be more than a thousand years. As for the saint-level elixirs, they are legendary. Whenever such rare treasures come out, the Holy Land will fight for their scalps, and the rest will not even think about it.

The reason why Hou Yuxiao sighed was naturally the price of these elixirs!

Generally speaking, the lowest price of a ten-year-old medicinal herb that can be ranked as high-grade is more than 50 taels of silver, and the third-class medicinal herb of an extreme age is around 500 taels, which is ridiculously high.

The medicinal materials alone are so expensive, let alone the elixirs refined by pharmacists. So far, the only people in the Hou family who have taken elixirs are their five brothers and sisters, and the younger Hou Fei, Hou Ying, Hou Cun.

Three people.

And it’s also the cheapest health elixir!

Don’t get me wrong, the cheapness here is relative. As the name suggests, Kaishen Dan is used by martial artists of the tenth level of Kaishen Realm. It is the most common type of low-level elixirs, but it is the lowest level. The price of one pill is

Up to 100 taels.

Except for the eight of them, the other 194 members of the Hou family used only an unpopular medicine called Kaishen San, which was worth only 5 taels of silver per serving.

It's really not that Hou Yuxiao, the head of the family, is stingy. The Hou family has many people to support, and the income in the past two years is too small, which is only enough to support such expenses.

However, these days should be over soon!

"Destroy the Green Wolf Gang and Feiyingmen. From now on, except Pingyang Street, all three streets in Zhaoyang will be in my hands. I will take over the entire Nanling Mountain. In addition to the small gold mine that Ren Feng gave me, what will I do next?

I will be able to live comfortably for a long time, okay, okay, if I can support my cultivation and improve the treatment of my tribe, it shouldn’t be a big problem!”

Hou Yuxiao ended his cultivation state and sat on a chair. Thinking that the situation was about to improve, he breathed a sigh of relief and stopped thinking about these things.

Yesterday, after he arranged for everyone to go to work, he returned to the Hou Mansion. The night's battle was secondary. The key was that he realized that his physical condition was already very bad, so he hurriedly came back to retreat to check his physical condition.

From the breakthrough of the Condensing Gang Stage to the Gathering Evil Stage, he relied on the swallowing power of the Divine Lotus to directly absorb the lifelong cultivation of the three Gang Qi realm elders. At that time, he only had partial merit, which was not enough to offset such

The power of karma brought about by huge cultivation.

If it weren't for Zhang Mobao's awe-inspiring righteousness, he would have died at that time.

Think about it, if you swallow the cultivation that someone has worked hard for a lifetime, and there are no sequelae at all, it would be really outrageous.

"The power of merit and righteousness can help me offset the power of karma. In the future, I must use the power of swallowing with caution, and at least make sure that my merit is enough to offset karma. Otherwise, if I try it again, my luck will not be so good!"

After Hou Yuxiao muttered something, he turned his mind back to his own mind. Looking at the huge white mass of merit in his mind, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"You can try to open the fourth white petal, but I don't know if there are enough to activate the fourth white petal.

Or, I can also use it to exchange for a large number of martial arts Xiaohuan Dan to enhance the overall strength of the family warriors!"

The merit of saving hundreds of thousands of people in a city was so great that Hou Yuxiao didn't know how to use it for a while.

"Master Hou, the Holy Aunt summoned you!"

Just as he was deep in thought, a familiar female voice suddenly came from outside. It was Sikong Yue's maid Fuling. Hou Yuxiao hurriedly stood up to greet her.

However, it seemed that the other party was just here to convey a message. When Hou Yuxiao came out, he only saw the back of Poria. His expression flashed slightly and he followed directly.

…………

Pingyang Street, 2nd floor, Sacred Heart Residence

Hou Yuxiao half-knelt down in front of Sikong Yue with some embarrassment. Although it was only the second time they met, he felt a little afraid of this woman from the bottom of his heart.

From the moment he saw that Sikong could use his merits, Hou Yuxiao knew that he had almost no secrets in front of this woman.

This feeling of being stripped naked made him feel very uneasy.

To be honest, at least so far, this woman's impression in his mind is not bad.

Apart from knowing too much, everything else is good.

Hou Yuxiao was half-kneeling on the ground, and he could feel Sikong Yue's eyes on him without raising his head.

After all, he is a strong man who has cultivated to the second level of Grandmaster, so he still feels oppressive.

Hou Yuxiao was not worried that Sikong Yue would do something unexpected to him.

The reason why we were able to defend Zhaoyang this time was ultimately because of Sikong Yue's presence. There is no doubt about this.

But the role played by Hou Yuxiao is not small.

When he defeated Tian Linong, he forced out the Ninth Swordsman Gu Chenfeng first. Although he could not secure the victory, it gave Sikong Yue the upper hand in this turmoil.

This is also the reason why Gu Chenfeng criticized him a lot later.

As for why Sikong Yue summoned him, Hou Yuxiao had already made a rough guess in his mind.

This time Zhaoyang defended the city, and he was successful.

In this turmoil, he also showed considerable strength and means.

Combined with his previous speculations, this round of temptations of Zhengdao is probably due to something wrong with the Rakshasa Holy Cult itself.

The purpose of Sikong Yue's coming to find her was obvious.

The holy religion is at the right time to employ people!

"The holy religion is at the right time to hire people."

…………

A soft voice came, and Hou Yuxiao couldn't help but raised his head in surprise. He happened to meet Sikong Yue's eyes that looked like a smile but not a smile. His body trembled again and he quickly lowered his head.

I even know what I think...

Is there anything else that this woman doesn't know?

"In the name of rebuilding Zhaoyang, you made all the warriors in the city obey your Hou family's orders. It seems that you are quite ambitious!"

Hou Yuxiao replied respectfully: "Shenggu Mingjian, the county minister Ren Feng escaped last night, and now the city is leaderless, so I have no choice but to shamelessly take the lead.

Recruiting these warriors is a helpless move. If we rely solely on ordinary people, Zhaoyang will not be able to recover in a year and a half."

Naturally, it was impossible for him to tell the truth, but what Sikong Yue said next made his expression change instantly.

"It's almost impossible for your Hou family to become a mainstream force!"
