Do not die

"First there was the great change in Jade Lake not far away."

“Then there’s Qinglinfang.

When the news came that Qinglinfang sold nine Foundation-Building Pills in one auction, and more Foundation-Building Pills would be auctioned later, you couldn't imagine the chaos and shock in Nuanyun Valley at that time.

If there is a force sitting on the ninth level of Qi Lian, there will be no one who will not be alarmed!

There were a few ninth-level Qi-training monks who were enshrined as ancestors by several forces, and they cried, made trouble, and yelled without caring about their image.

Just because they are too old and the news comes too late!

For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Qinglinfang, which was thousands of miles away. Who else paid attention to anything else.

The association immediately adjusted its direction and stopped thinking about opening up other trade routes.

Instead, he cooperated with the ninth floor of Qi Lianfang in Nuanyun Valley and Hongsong Ridge who were interested in looking for opportunities in Qinglinfang, and they came to Qinglinfang to develop together.

The model is roughly like this. The association organizes a large number of professionals to keep an eye on the market changes in Qinglinfang. They produce a large number of first-level elixirs, magic tools, talismans and other items, and are escorted to Qinglinfang in batches by ninth-level Qi training monks.

From the beginning, the association arranged for me and several other young monks to come to Qinglinfang to take root. We were responsible for investigating the real-time situation here, selling these items, and purchasing higher-quality materials to take back. "

Listening to Yu Peng's story, Meng Zhou had basically understood the association's current routine.

There was no praise or criticism for this. After listening to Yu Peng's story, he was just curious about a question.

"Is the association so safe to let you young people do this?

Even if they are not worried about you taking the money and running away, they are not worried about your safety at all? "

Yu Peng scratched his head, chuckled, and then said:

"To be honest, we are all direct descendants secretly selected by the association. The association will do its best to help us grow, so there is no need to worry about us running away."

"Uh..." Meng Zhou had nothing to say. Isn't this the true treatment?

Although the structure is very different from Qingxuan Sect, as far as the association is concerned, this is the attitude of cultivating successors.

From now on, the association belongs to them. At this time, whoever runs away will be stupid.

"In terms of safety, there is really nothing to worry about. Different ninth-level qi-training monks will often come to my place to deliver goods and pick up goods. This is the biggest deterrent to anyone who is interested.

Moreover, caring people will also know that I don’t actually have much surplus wealth on me, it’s just a one-time pass.

It's really not good for me. I won't make any money. Instead, it will attract an unknown amount of powerful hostility. Who would do such a thankless thing? "

Having said this, Yu Peng glanced at Du He who was sitting beside him and quickly patched it up.

"Well...he was an accident."

Meng Zhou nodded and asked: "Teacher You is now in Nuanyun Valley?"

"Yeah." Yu Peng nodded.

"Can you contact him?" Meng Zhou asked.

"Can."

"Then you send a message to him and say that I want to invite him to Qinglinfang for a meeting." Meng Zhou said directly.

Yu Peng was startled when he heard this, and then felt a little embarrassed.

The teacher is now the core backbone of the association and one of the most powerful people in the association.

However, the teacher's weakness is a natural flaw, and his power is only effective in the one-third of an acre in Nuanyun Valley.

Once he leaves the comfort zone of Nuanyun Valley, he will turn back into a bad old man who is only in the middle stage of Qi training.

Now Qinglinfang is in a mess, and the roads are also in a mess.

Yu Peng, who had experienced this before, was not too relieved to ask his teacher to leave Nuanyun Valley and travel thousands of miles to Qinglinfang.

"Just tell him that I have something important to say to him...well, it's no less important than the conversation he and I had in the courtyard!" Meng Zhou added lightly.

"Hiss~~" Yu Peng took a breath in his heart.

Of course he knew what Uncle Zhou called the "small courtyard talk", which was the talk that created the Professionals Association.

The only ones who knew about it were Uncle Zhou, the teacher, and Yu Peng himself.

"Talk in the small courtyard", this is a code word that only the three of them can understand.

He also recalled that when Uncle Zhou was in Nuanyun Valley, although he often stayed at home, he talked about association-related topics with teachers several times, and almost all of them brought huge changes to the development of the association.

Therefore, Uncle Zhou's mystery did not only arise from this encounter after he left Nuanyun Valley.

But from the time he came to Nuanyun Valley and came into contact with their master and disciple for the first time, he was already very mysterious.

Several seemingly casual conversations created a powerful force with influence across Nuanyun Valley and Red Pine Ridge.

Along with the pharmacist who was randomly recommended by the teacher, it only took Uncle Zhou a short time to practice to the peak of the first level.

——Even though Meng Zhou had been very restrained, it was still too exaggerated for Master Chu Zheng who really knew his growth trajectory as a pharmacist.

So, he finally didn't dare to hesitate anymore and nodded: "Okay!"

Meng Zhou finally looked at Du He and asked, "How will he deal with it?"

Yu Peng was stunned and asked cautiously: "Will you hand him over to me?"

Meng Zhou nodded: "I have no enmity or any friendship with him, and it doesn't matter whether he kills me or lets him go.

However, from what you said, it seems that he and your teacher have a certain cause and effect, so it’s up to you to decide. "

Yu Peng thought for a while and said:

"Since the teacher is coming, it is inconvenient for me to decide. I will temporarily detain him here for the next few days...Uncle Zhou, do you have a way to keep him quiet and harmless without hurting him?"

Meng Zhou nodded and said: "It's very simple... I remember you bought some first-grade high-grade spirit vines, right?"

Yu Peng nodded.

"Give me one."

Yu Peng quickly took out a spiritual vine from his storage bag and handed it to Meng Zhou.

Meng Zhou held the first-grade high-grade spiritual vine in his hand to feel the spiritual distribution in it, and then threw it high towards Du He.

When the spirit vine fell to Du He, the spirit vine wrapped around Du He several times under the control of an invisible force, and then tied a knot.

Then, Meng Zhou dispelled the chill that had enveloped Du He.

It can be clearly seen that as the chill went away, Du He's eyes began to come alive little by little.

His mind is gradually waking up.

Meng Zhou didn't wait for him to wake up, he picked him up and threw him under Yu Peng's bed.

Finally, he said to Yu Peng, who was speechless: "With his strength, he will not die of hunger without eating or drinking for ten and a half days. You should leave him alone during this period!"

Meng Zhou was convinced that as long as Yu Peng did not commit suicide, Du He would not be able to become a demon.

His seemingly ordinary binding actually captured some of the true meaning of the confinement talisman array and incorporated it into it.

There is no shape of the imprisoning talisman array, but it has the meaning of the imprisoning talisman array.

Such Du He couldn't even gather any mana.

Coupled with the quality of the high-grade spirit vine itself, if Du He can move even half an inch under the bed, he has mastered the skill.

Then, Meng Zhou explained a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving.

…

After leaving Yu Peng's residence, not far away, "Zhou Pharmacist" had disappeared. Meng Zhou had turned into a fresh face again and went to the stall area again.

When subduing Du He, Meng Zhou habitually confiscated all valuable items such as Du He's storage bags.

After casual inspection, Meng Zhou was in a happy mood.

"I never thought I could make a small fortune."

In Du He's storage bag, there were 140 medium-grade spiritual stones, a high-grade flying sword, a high-grade magic whip, and a high-grade flying boat.

Apart from this, there are no other items of value.

However, the storage bag is quite large, with a total of fifty square meters of internal storage space.

This is also the card that the leader of He Shengtang Gang should have.

Looking at so many spirit stones, Meng Zhou had some guesses in his mind.

Du He should have brought many things with him when he escaped from Nuanyun Valley.

Considering He Shengtang's situation in Nuanyun Valley at that time, most of He Shengtang's wealth should be with him.

However, Heshengtang has only made his fortune not long ago, so his family fortune is not very strong.

When the news of Qinglinfang's large-scale wholesale of foundation-building pills spread throughout Qingxuan Territory, Du He, who had escaped from Nuanyun Valley at that time, would inevitably come to Qinglinfang no matter where he was.

His cultivation level is already at the peak of the ninth level of Qi training, and he is not yet fifty years old.

Now with the "help" of many old friends in Nuanyun Valley, there is no reason not to get rid of the burden of He Shengtang.

Except for keeping a few protective magic weapons, he has replaced all other items with spiritual stones. He is just waiting to take a foundation-building pill to break through!

Meng Zhou didn't have any psychological burden after confiscating all the wealth that Du He had used to build his foundation.

As the boss of Heshengtang, this is the retribution he deserves.

When he arrived at the stall area, Meng Zhou sold Du He's three high-grade magical instruments and a large storage bag for a total of 88 medium-grade spiritual stones. Adding the spiritual stones among them, he unexpectedly gained 228 medium-grade spiritual stones.

Meng Zhou's spiritual stone reserve reached a new high, all of which were replaced with medium-grade spiritual stones, totaling 853.

However, this feeling of wealth did not last long, and Meng Zhou once again clearly realized his poverty.

Returning to Zhang's courtyard, when Zhang Wei came back, Meng Zhou immediately called him for questioning.

"Can you get me a set of second-level spell books?"

Zhang Wei thought for a while and said: "We can only get the general ones, not those related to specific practice methods, or some that are more special."

Meng Zhou nodded: "Just the regular ones...how many spiritual stones are needed?"

Spells related to practice methods, or some more special spells, may be relied on by those possessing forces as their foundation, and there will be more restrictions on their spread.

But Meng Zhou really doesn't care about this. There may be many additional threshold restrictions to practice and master.

On the contrary, those that are conventional and universal are actually the most universal and easiest to use. Otherwise, they would not be "regular and universal" at all.

Zhang Weidao: "A hundred middle-grade spiritual stones are enough."

Meng Zhou nodded, it was indeed not expensive.

I also find it interesting.

This is probably the characteristic of knowledge.

Before it spreads, its value is far higher than that of real objects such as pills and magic weapons of the same grade. The greater possibility is that you will not get it if you ask for it!

But once it spreads, from one to two, from two to four, from four to eight, it gradually becomes less valuable.

But the knowledge is still the original knowledge, without any loss.

Even in the process of spreading, it has been practiced and summarized by more people, and it has become more complete than at the beginning.

Its real value is obviously increasing, but the price has dropped, and the threshold has become lower and lower.

Meng Zhou asked again: "Can you get me a second-level high-quality robe?"

After a pause, Meng Zhou emphasized:

"It's best if it's a new product that has just been refined without anyone else's hands... Well, it doesn't have to be so fancy, it just needs to have the basic functions of the robe."

Zhang Wei was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Meng Zhou carefully before reminding him:

"Senior, even if it has the simplest effect, such a robe is worth at least ten high-grade spiritual stones."

That's one thousand middle-grade spiritual stones.

When Meng Zhou heard this, his breath immediately froze.

Seeing his expression, Zhang Wei knew what he was looking for and carefully suggested:

"You have just entered foundation building now. High quality is actually a burden. Can you use the second-level mid-level first to transition?"

After hearing this, Meng Zhou waved his hand and said, "Forget it then."

His current physical strength, energy, and blood are fully utilized, and the defense is not necessarily much worse than the second-level mid-level robe. It is also more convenient and convenient for concealment.

In this case, why waste the spiritual stone?

He nodded to Zhang Wei and directly took out many spiritual stones, including middle-grade spiritual stones and low-grade spiritual stones. The quantity was quite large.

But it was the price of a hundred middle-grade spiritual stones. One was not much, but one was not too much. It was a price for a newly promoted foundation builder who was in poverty and poverty.

"Then I'll bother you!"

Meng Zhou asked Zhang Wei to put the spirit stones away and did not make any more demands for the time being.

He also understood that the more than 750 middle-grade spiritual stones in his pocket seemed to be a lot, but in fact they were not.

You still have to save some money and avoid unnecessary expenses if you can.

…

Zhang Wei took Meng Zhou's spirit stone and immediately went out to Hexin Tower without waiting until the next day.

It didn't take long before he returned with a foundation-building monk. The foundation-building monk personally handed a jade slip to Meng Zhou.

After the jade slip was handed over to Meng Zhou and confirmed by Meng Zhou, he didn't stay any longer, gave it a fist and left.

Meng Zhou thanked Zhang Wei for his hard work, but he didn't say anything about giving him extra compensation.

According to the rules of Hexin Tower, he has a share of the hundred middle-grade spiritual stones.

And if he does more business like this, his status in Hexin Building will also rise, so he will naturally not need any additional remuneration.

Meng Zhou returned to the quiet room and sat cross-legged.

His spiritual consciousness scanned the contents of the jade slip and carefully comprehended the twelve conventional second-level spells contained in it.

As mentioned in the preface, second-level spells are fundamentally different from first-level spells.

First-level spells only involve the use of mana. Although spells are difficult and easy, their power also varies.

But as long as the practitioner has talent and is willing to study hard, he can practice difficult and powerful first-level spells even in the early stages of Qi training.

But second-level spells are different, and the use of mana is only part of it.

There is also a more core part involving spiritual consciousness and even the strength of the soul, which is a hard threshold.

Without the secret method of soul refining, the growth of ordinary foundation-building monks in this area can only increase slowly with the improvement of their cultivation level. Only when their cultivation level reaches a certain stage can they practice the corresponding spells.

A second-level low-grade spell that can be learned in the early stages of foundation building.

[Flying Escape Technique], [Armor Shield Technique], [Object Control Technique], [Transformation Technique]

A second-level mid-level spell that can be learned in the middle stage of foundation building.

[Transformation Technique], [Wall Penetration Technique], [Cloud and Rain Technique], [Hefeng Technique]

A second-level high-grade spell that can be learned in the later stages of foundation building.

[Burning River Technique], [Thunder Drop Technique], [Qi Watching Technique], [Soul Shock Technique]

After briefly reviewing the twelve second-level spells, Meng Zhou not only had a clearer understanding of the abilities of these twelve spells.

Through the inference of these spells, we can roughly imagine the capabilities of the monks in the middle and late stages of foundation establishment.

This also made his mentality become more calm and practical. Although his foundation building was extraordinary, he had just built the foundation now, let alone a little bird that couldn't walk yet in front of the later stage of foundation building.

Even the monks in the middle stage of foundation building have an absolute advantage over themselves.

Meng Zhou's attention finally focused on four second-level low-grade spells.

Without thinking too much, he figured out the order of learning.

First learn the art of flight, then the art of transformation, then the art of armor and shield, and finally the art of controlling objects.

Flying Escape is a spell that almost every new Foundation Builder must learn. This is a key to the ability of Foundation Builder monks to far exceed those of Qi Training monks.

For Meng Zhou, it allows him to continue to maintain his speed advantage.

When practicing Qi, his speed is far beyond that of his peers.

Now that the foundation is being laid, this good tradition will naturally continue to be maintained.

As the saying goes, nothing is indestructible, only speed is invincible.

As long as I am fast enough and danger cannot catch up with me, I will always be invincible.

The reason why the art of transformation is used as the second practice spell is because there is no alternative.

In fact, among the four second-level low-grade spells recorded on the jade slips, except for the flying escape technique, the other three spells are all identical and substituted by Meng Zhou.

The effect of the Object Control Technique is basically the same as the effect of the Crane Control Hand martial skill after being gifted. Mana spells are used to replace the hand effects.

If the level of mastery is not enough, it will not be as useful as your own innate abilities.

The effect of the armor shield technique can be perfectly replaced by the power of qi and blood.

Of course, he would not refuse the opportunity to build an extra layer of armor, but now his priority of practicing it would naturally be lower.

As for the transformation technique, in Meng Zhou's view, it is similar to an upgraded "compressed package" of many first-level spells.

During the Qi training stage, there are many spells such as flying arrows, water arrows, fireballs, firebirds, water snakes, and wind swords. The mana simulates a certain shape and makes it manifest obvious attributes. , if you want to master it, you have to practice it carefully one by one.

But now, a second-level transformation technique can solve everything.

This spell is not very effective in battles at the same level, and it is difficult to achieve decisive results.

But it can greatly improve the comprehensiveness of a monk. He can throw a fire ball, water ball, wind knife, fire bird, water snake, etc. at a glance.

Facing opponents at the same level, some of them are indeed not powerful enough, but for monks at lower levels, this single spell can pretend to be all-powerful.

In fact, due to the overall physical improvement brought by the talent of fourteen martial arts, and the familiarity with swordsmanship brought by sword control, this spell is not necessary for Meng Zhou.

However, in the absence of more and better options, he didn't mind learning just to enrich his skill library.

After making up his mind, Meng Zhou began to study seriously.

Soon, Meng Zhou was pleasantly surprised to find that there was no difficulty in understanding and mastering these two spells.

It was far easier than when he was practicing qi and learning new skills.

His eyes fell on the three "incomplete" talents, and he thought:

"This is probably a change brought about by the improvement of this body's talent.

Now, compared to before I built the foundation, I am more in tune with the great road and more suitable for practice! "

In addition, Meng Zhou also indirectly confirmed another thing.

Even though the four spells are all low-grade, they have different requirements for consciousness and soul.

Among them, the Flying Escape Technique and the Armor Shield Technique are the lowest, and can be practiced by building one level of foundation.

The art of controlling objects is second, and can be practiced on the second level of foundation building.

The art of transformation has the highest requirements, requiring three levels of foundation building before it can be practiced.

This is a requirement for regular foundation building.

And Meng Zhou found that he did not encounter any obstacles in learning the art of transformation.

This means that his soul strength is equivalent to that of an ordinary third-level foundation-building monk.

"I have been able to stimulate the power of divine consciousness through certain means during the Qi training stage, which is equivalent to building a foundation one step faster than ordinary foundation building.

After building the foundation, I did a lot more than usual. Even the soul form was changed from human to water.

Therefore, my soul level is far stronger than ordinary foundation building at the same level. If I can maintain this advantage in the future, I may even obtain the secret method of soul refining.

Then, I may not need to wait for my cultivation to reach the middle or late stage of foundation establishment before I can learn those powerful spells. "

This is another reason to obtain the secret method of soul refining.

…

The next morning, the sixth day of April.

Meng Zhou walked out of the room and came to the small courtyard.

After practicing overnight, he acquired two new skills.

Skills and information have undergone considerable changes as a result.

【Skill:

Second level: 0/250 for entry into Flying Escape, 0/250 for entry into Transformation.

First level: Grand Master of Feihong Technique: 330/960, one hundred techniques of knotting are perfect, six items of talisman array are perfect, three items of magic weapon are perfect, three items of elixir are perfect, and four items of straw puppet are perfect (the details are omitted)]

Standing in the courtyard, an invisible force lifted Meng Zhou's feet off the ground.

It's not too high, just one foot above the ground, moving around in the small courtyard without knowing where it's going.

Where to move next moment is entirely up to him.

At first, Meng Zhou was still a little unskilled.

The coordination between mind and mana is not so perfect, just like riding a bicycle, knowing which way to go, but the faucet doesn't obey the command.

However, it only took an hour for Meng Zhou to completely adapt to this new way of moving without his feet touching the ground.

Apart from the high mana consumption, there are almost no shortcomings.

With his foundation-building level of mana, one hour of practice had already brought him to the bottom.

Experience +20.

"Introduction to Flying Escape Technique 20/250"

As he became more and more familiar with the Flying Escape Technique, Meng Zhou also remembered everything he had learned from walking thousands of miles and practicing the Feihong Technique.

This kind of remembering is not just a memory in the mind.

There are also real insights accumulated through personal practice and traveling thousands of miles.

As he deepened his understanding, Meng Zhou gradually felt that the two magics actually had many similarities.

The biggest difference is that one is second-order and the other is first-order.

The magic power during Qi training was not enough to support him to fly completely off the ground, so he could only choose to float or glide.

"But that's no longer a problem now."

"They seem to be two spells, but their cores are the same. They are one spell."

When Meng Zhou understood this level at the cognitive level, he saw that the information about the "Feihong Technique" in his personal state slowly faded and disappeared.

On the other side, the experience of the flying escape technique that had just started was improving rapidly.

When the number stopped growing, the Flying Escape Technique had moved from beginner level to first level level and then to minor level level.

"Flying Escape Skill Small Accomplishment 530/1000"

Afterwards, Meng Zhou returned to the quiet room and spent about an hour recovering his mana.

This time, he tried the art of transformation.

He stretched out his fingers and a flaming arrow flew out from his fingertips.

The next moment a firebird was chasing the water ball and spinning around.

On the ground in front of him, a water snake was coiled and crawling on the ground.

Each time the mana is transformed, the experience of the transformation spell is +1.

Half an hour later, all the mana in Meng Zhou's body had been squandered, but the experience gained was also very impressive, adding a full 100 experience points.

"The Flying Escape Technique has now been completed, and the practice experience has increased from +20 per hour when I first started to +40 per hour now. This is the limit of what my magic power can support."

"The practice of transformation will be more efficient, but it will consume mana faster."

"So, mana, that is, cultivation, is the key to the growth of my magic!"

Meng Zhou couldn't help but be more concerned about Xu Wanzhen's plot. He looked at the corner of the small courtyard and waved.

A little carrot head jumped out from the shade of the tree, "Senior."

"Have you been spying on me practicing here?" Meng Zhou asked.

After hearing this accusation, Zhang Xiaoyi was as shocked as anything, waving her hands and shaking her head:

"No, no, I'm not peeping!"

Meng Zhou looked at him seriously until the little girl's mouth became more and more deflated and she was about to cry from fear, then she nodded and said:

"Ok, I trust you!"

Zhang Xiaoyi's face immediately turned cloudy and clear, and she returned to the sunny world again.

"Do you have pen, ink, paper and inkstone at home?" Meng Zhou asked.

"Yeah." Zhang Xiaoyi nodded hurriedly.

"Go get it and let me use it." Meng Zhou didn't even say that he borrowed it, he just opened his mouth and ordered.

Zhang Xiaoyi seemed to like his trick, and ran into her house without hesitation.

Not long after, he came over with a pile of pens, ink, paper and inkstones. There were several pens alone.

She just came to Meng Zhou with a bunch of things in her arms and looked up at him.

Meng Zhou didn't say that she had taken too much. He nodded in praise, and then continued to order: "Send it to my study."

The little girl was walking in front with a pile of pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and he followed slowly behind with his hands behind his back.

Laying out the paper, Meng Zhou dipped his pen in his hand and pondered for a moment, then began to write.

What he wanted to write was exactly the foundation-building experience he promised to write and give to Xu Wanzhen.

Of course he can't write about truly sensitive content, but he can write about content such as the transformation of mana and the opening up of the sea of ​​consciousness.

There is no taboo anywhere.

That day, Meng Zhou gave a sermon to a group of qi-training monks at Xiangming Pavilion, and Meng Zhou had already taken the opportunity to sort out the contents.

Now it's just a matter of putting it to the tip of the pen and forming words.

So, it doesn’t take much extra effort.

Of course, in order to show the value of this note, Meng Zhou did not copy it completely.

After successfully adding some foundation building, I summarized and extracted some information from a higher and more comprehensive perspective.

Meng Zhou was not sure how much this would help those Qi-training monks.

But it is certain that in the eyes of other Foundation Establishment monks who have reviewed and appraised this experience note, every sentence of these summaries is full of gold and thought-provoking.

As he wrote, Meng Zhou felt that holding a pen with his hands was too restrictive, so he simply used his talent.

The ink in the inkstone seemed to turn into a ball of twisted wool. An invisible force pulled out the thread, and a steady stream of ink lines was drawn out of the inkstone.

These lines seem to be swinging and bending randomly in the air, but when they fall on the paper one by one, they exactly look like words, and they still look very beautiful and solemn fonts.

This seemingly magical scene is, to Meng Zhou, nothing more than a simple rope-playing application.

Writing efficiency and printing are not much slower. The speed of output depends more on the speed of his thinking and conception.

As long as your thinking is smooth, you can update thousands of words easily.

In the afternoon, Meng Zhou came to Xiangming Tower again with this note and experience. Xu Wanzhen, Luo Ping, and Qu Jing arrived almost immediately.

In addition to the three of them, fourteen more new foundation builders came together.

It seems that they came just to witness the authenticity of this matter.

After getting Meng Zhou's permission, he briefly looked through the foundation building experience notes submitted by Meng Zhou, then left quickly without stopping.

It wasn't until they left that Xu Wanzhen said:

"In the past two days, with the help of fellow Taoist Luo, we visited and convinced all the other twenty-seven people except the four of us one by one.

These people have more doubts and must confirm the progress of the situation with their own eyes before following up.

Therefore, I will have to wait until tomorrow to get their experience notes. "

She first informed Meng Zhou about the progress of the matter, and then carefully read the experience notes submitted by Meng Zhou.

After a long time, she raised her head, looked at Meng Zhou again, and praised:

"Fellow Daoist Meng is indeed extraordinary. His understanding of mana transformation is much deeper than mine. I have benefited a lot from reading it."

After saying that, she paused and said:

“The value of this experience is beyond doubt!

However, if Fellow Daoist Meng can append the Qi training techniques together, the practical value will increase several times. "

Meng Zhou shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, because the way of inheriting is a bit special, I once swore in my heart that I would practice it myself and never spread it to others.

Although, now it seems, the level of that skill is not too high, but an oath is an oath. "

Of course, this is just an interface made up by Meng Zhou. The real reason is that there are some problems with the origin of the Water Nourishing and Moisturizing Technique, which involves many secrets.

He didn't want to add to the problem.

Xu Wanzhen sighed regretfully, "Well, in that case, I don't mind embarrassing Fellow Daoist Meng."

"The exchange meeting at Hexinlou is scheduled for the ninth day of the lunar month. Today is the sixth day of the lunar month. I plan to hold this exchange meeting the day after tomorrow, which is the eighth day of the lunar month.

As for the location…”

Xu Wanzhen paused for a moment, smoothed her black hair from her temples, glanced at the three of them, and said softly: "We'll stay at Meixiang Tower..."

Luo Ping suddenly said: "Qingwan, you don't have to be like this... Then Young Master Dong humiliates you so much, why do you have to do this to yourself!"

Xu Wanzhen raised her eyes and glanced at him, and said softly: "Fellow Daoist Luo, do you think I am cheating on myself?"

"Ah?!" Luo Ping opened his mouth, and seeing the fairy's sudden change of attitude, he realized that he might have said something wrong.

However, he really didn't know where he went wrong!

Meng Zhouyi looked confused, looked around, and finally looked at Qu Jing, who seemed to know something about the inside story, and asked: "Friend Qu, what's going on? Why can't I understand?"

Of course, he actually understands something.

However, as a new acquaintance who had no knowledge of the past of the three of them, he shouldn't understand, so naturally he had to ask.

Qu Jing sighed and said: "In order to carry out this matter, Fairy Qingwan used all the connections at her disposal, including... some... um..." she had made before establishing the foundation.

His words were stuck there, as if he didn't know what to say next.

Xu Wanzhen said lightly:

"There's nothing to say. Before I built the foundation, I worked in Meixiang Tower to serve people.

This is no secret in Qinglinfang.

In the past two days, in addition to lobbying a group of new casual cultivators, I also contacted some forces with second-level cultivation methods and initially revealed our plans.

I don’t know how this matter caught Mr. Dong’s attention. He said that as long as I held this exchange meeting in Meixiang Building, he would not only support it himself, but also convene a group of friends to come and support me. "

Meng Zhou glanced at Luo Ping, who had tearful eyes and clenched his fists, and his teeth were almost broken, and thought to himself, people who don't know may think that he is the one who is being humiliated.

However, he has probably completely empathized with the "fairy" now and feels the same way, right?

Hmm...it's possible that his feelings are more colorful than Xu Wanzhen's, but that's not necessarily true.

Meng Zhou looked at Xu Wanzhen, who had a plain face. She was really plain, but in Luo Ping's heart, he didn't know how much inner drama he had to perform.

His curiosity lies elsewhere: "I'm sorry, please forgive Meng for being ignorant, but what is the identity of Young Master Dong?"

It was Qu Jing who came out to answer.

"Young Master Dong's name is Dong Ping'an, he has average talent and a naughty temperament.

Although he now has the third level of foundation building cultivation, he has successfully built the foundation by using some methods that overdraw his potential. There is no hope of further progress, so he becomes more and more uninterested in cultivation, and he is a complete playboy.

Although he did a lot of ridiculous things, firstly, because he had a strong conscience, he would not mess with really tough characters.

In addition, his own grandfather had fake elixir cultivation and was once a guest minister of Qingxuan Sect. Later, he independently founded a family of immortal cultivators.

Therefore, this Young Master Dong lives up to his name and has been safe to this day. "

Qu Jing, who had a calm personality, always frowned when he talked about this Young Master Dong.

Obviously, it is really a headache for such a devil-like figure to suddenly appear.

Meng Zhou thought for a while and suddenly said:

"If my prediction is correct, the fake elixir senior of the Dong family should be in Jade Lake now, right?"

Luo and Qu didn't understand what he meant. Xu Wanzhen's pupils shrank slightly when she heard the words.

However, this change was very subtle, and she quickly adjusted and looked at Meng Zhou subconsciously.

But he saw Meng Zhou looking at Qu Jing and Luoping, his side facing towards her. This angle was the blind spot for him to see him.

You had to turn around to see her, and she was sure that Meng Zhou's head was not moving.

So she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she also wondered why Fellow Daoist Meng paid attention to an issue like the Dong family's fake elixir monk, which seemed to have nothing to do with them.

At this moment, Luo Ping happened to send an assist, and he asked puzzledly:

"Fellow Daoist Meng, what does this have to do with us?"

Relying on his keen perception that far exceeded the three people present, Meng Zhou, who had confirmed a certain guess in his mind, smiled slightly:

"I want to tell you that you don't have to be too afraid of this Young Master Dong.

The only person he can truly rely on is his fake grandfather.

I think that even if there are other foundation-building experts from the Dong family in the workshop, they will never be willing to clean up the mess for Young Master Dong.

You also said that although Mr. Dong is a bastard, he understands in his heart.

Then he won't be really careless in doing things!

When we meet this kind of person, we can't bully others and be weak just because of his background.

That will only fuel the other party's arrogance! "

Speaking of this, Meng Zhou waved his fist.

“Be tough when you need to be tough!

He and we are both in the early stages of foundation building. Are we still afraid of him, a young man who grew up in a honeypot?

Even if there is a real conflict, so what if there is a fight?

As long as he is not beaten to death, maimed, or bruised, can his fake Grandpa Dan still come to stand up for him?

If that were the case, I would be so ashamed for him! "

Luo and Qu suddenly nodded, raised their fists and said, "Yes, if he talks like this again next time, I will show him how powerful he is!"

Xu Wanzhen looked at this scene stupidly and thought to herself, next time Young Master Dong talks bad words again, the three of them won't really take action directly, right?

If this is the case, how can this play continue? !

She quickly said: "Don't do this!"

Luo Ping stared at her closely and said: "Qingwan, I just can't tolerate someone teasing you like that!

Who has no fault? What’s more, the you you are today are not the you you were yesterday!

You have struggled to get out of the quagmire, and I will not allow anyone to continue to splash mud on you! "

Luo Ping thought that this performance was remarkable, and he was a little touched.

But the faces of Meng Zhou and Qu Jing next to them showed the expressions of horror and silence.

Sure enough, Xu Wanzhen was not moved at all after hearing Luo Ping's affectionate words. Instead, she suddenly stood up and said coldly:

"On the eighth day of April, in the evening, Meixiang Tower, if you come, you will come, if you don't come, you will not come.

No matter what happens, don't be so sentimental that you comfort yourself in the name of standing up for me!

Otherwise, no wonder we won’t even be friends in the future! "

After that, she turned around and left without staying for a moment.

Luo Ping stared at the direction she left in a daze. After a long time, he slowly turned his head.

Looking at Qu Jing, he looked confused:

"What did I say wrong? Why is she so angry?"

Qu Jing sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist Luo, you should ask what you said right!"

"Then what did I say right?" Luo Pingzhen asked, showing his perseverance.

Qu Jing then responded to him sincerely: "Not a single word of yours is right!"

"Ah?" Luo Ping opened his mouth wide, unable to react at all and unable to understand at all.

Qu Jing suddenly sighed again and said seriously: "Fellow Daoist Luo, I have a suggestion, I wonder if you will listen to it."

"you say!"

"Don't use your thoughts to ponder Fairy Qingwan's actions. We have our own ways of doing things, and she also has hers.

Don't make random comments about her affairs, or try to stand up for her because you think you're smart, or you might not even be a friend.

Something may happen in Meixiang Tower the day after tomorrow, but no matter what happens, we can just be spectators. Don't be too hot-headed to make a fool of yourself. "

As he said that, he looked at Meng Zhou, but didn't say anything. He just nodded slightly, as if he felt like he was getting to know him again.

Meng Zhou also smiled and nodded in response, "Fellow Daoist Qu is right, but I was rude just now!"

After parting ways with Luo Qu, Meng Zhou was on his way back to Zhang's courtyard.

This time, he rarely used any body accelerating skills and just walked home neither fast nor slow.

Just when he turned a corner, turned right from the first ring road into the North-South Long Street, and continued towards the central area.

Just a little behind him, a female cultivator with an ordinary figure and an ordinary face appeared quietly.

She kept almost the same speed as him, walking slowly in the same direction, just like an accidental encounter between two unrelated passers-by.

"What did Fellow Daoist Meng see?"

A soft voice came into Meng Zhou's ears. The voice itself was like a girl's slender hands, graceful and beautiful, and very good at stirring people's hearts.

Meng Zhou believed that with someone with less concentration, this sound could bring people to the peak of pleasure.

Meng Zhou seemed unaware.

He did not answer this question, but said: "I want to find a suitable foundation-building practice method, please help me!"

"Didn't we agree to have an exchange meeting at Meixianglou on the eighth day of April? Why are we so anxious?" said the voice.

"I don't want to wait until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, I want to do it today!"

"..."

"I don't know what changes will occur in Chuba Meixianglou's exchange... The fairy doesn't want to have any changes, right?"

"What do you really think?" The voice was still soft, but every word was spoken, as if he was quietly gritting his teeth.

"I just want to find a suitable practice method, but I know nothing about Qinglinfang!

Even if there are no twists and turns, I don’t believe that in such a short time at the exchange meeting, I will be able to find a practice method that suits me by luck!

Fairy, you are different. What I lack is exactly what you are best at!

If I want to find someone to ask for help, I believe that I can't find anyone more suitable than you if I search all over Qinglinfang! "

Meng Zhou's attitude was very sincere, "I just want you to help me with the details and point out a clear path!"

"Is it that simple?" said the voice.

"Of course, if you can help me directly achieve my wish, then I will be really grateful!"

"I knew it wouldn't be that easy!" The voice was clearly filled with resentment, but it also had a sense of relief.

She did not agree immediately, but suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the topic:

"You keep calling me a fairy. Are you calling me a bitch and a piece of shit every time you shout? Do you think of me being ridden by men for fun?"

"Absolutely not, I can swear by my heart!" Meng Zhou immediately showed a kind of indignation at being slandered, as if his reputation had been greatly damaged.

There was silence for a moment, no one responded.

The two figures just walked along the street, one a little ahead, the other a little behind, walking in silence for a while, unrelated to each other.

"What practice do you want?"

"Water system, vitality." Meng Zhou simply summarized his needs in two words.

"..." The voice was silent for a while again, and then said in a strange tone: "Do you think your request is very simple?"

Meng Zhou said: "Fairy has misunderstood. I know this is not simple, so I am asking you for help!"

"I can offer you a choice, and it's the only choice. It depends on whether you have the courage to take it!" she said.

"What's wrong with this practice?"

"This is a spliced ​​and incomplete book of exercises!"

"The splicing technique? Or is it incomplete? Can you be more specific?"

“It has the general outline of the third-level cultivation method, but only the skeleton of the second-level cultivation method.

Moreover, the second-level cultivation method only involves mana, and basically focuses on ordinary water attributes. It has a little bit of vitality, but it is almost the same as nothing.

Furthermore, because of this situation, there are no built-in spells that match the exercises. Because different people have slightly different understandings, the effects of practicing them will be very different.

In other words, even if you have practiced this technique, how to fully develop the power of this technique still needs to be explored by yourself. "

Meng Zhou fell into deep thought.

The voice said: "Don't think this practice method is bad. The second-level practice method is enough. There are even people in the family who hold this method who have used it to reach the realm of false elixir.

However, due to the fragmentation of the splicing technique itself, something went wrong with his fake elixir, and soon after it became a fake elixir, it exploded.

As a result, the family has gone downhill, and many of its foundation pillars have even chosen to leave silently, looking for a new way out elsewhere.

Now there is only a decrepit old man who is in the middle stage of foundation building and is over two hundred years old, supporting him. "

When Meng Zhou didn't respond, she chuckled and said, "What, your eggs have shrunk?"

Meng Zhou chuckled lightly, "Don't irritate me. I have a decision in my heart about what to choose. What's the name of this technique?"

"The general outline of the Spring Water Classic is also centered on the two characters "spring" and "water". I know one sentence.

‘Spring is the beginning of the cycle of time and the foundation for eliminating the old and welcoming the new;

Water is the mother body that gives birth to all living things, and it reproduces all living things..." At this point, the voice suddenly stopped.

"What?" Meng Zhou asked hurriedly.

"forget."

"Uh..." Meng Zhou was speechless.

After a while, he asked again: "How do you understand it so clearly, even knowing the specific words in the general outline?"

"I know it in bed."

"Uh..." Meng Zhou was speechless again.

"You know when a man is most..."

"I don't want to know...that's it, I want it now!" Meng Zhou said.

"hehe."

After that, there was no more words between the two.

The two of them also changed their route from going to the central area to going to the residential area.

Meng Zhou looked around and saw the figures of second-level caves far apart from each other in the distance.

Not long after, the two of them arrived in front of a quiet cave, but were blocked by a second-level formation.

And the female cultivator who was leading the way, with an ordinary appearance and figure, had quietly transformed back into the radiant Qingwan fairy.

There was an extra token in her hand, and the token flew into the second-level formation.

Not long after, a gap appeared in the second-level formation, revealing the figure of a handsome old man.

When he saw Xu Wanzhen, there was a surprised smile on his face, as if he was overjoyed to have an old friend come to visit.

It was joy from the bottom of his heart. He focused all his attention on "Fairy Qingwan" and regarded Meng Zhou who was following her as nothing.

Soon, the two of them had entered the cave together, leaving Meng Zhou outside.

Meng Zhou was just blowing the cold air outside the cave, and he couldn't help but wonder, couldn't the two of them be doing something right now?

Just as she was thinking idly, Xu Wanzhen appeared at the door again, looking more charming and charming, with a faint blush on her face.

He just said lightly: "The other party agreed, but in addition to the ones I have already given, the other party also wants you to add a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones, otherwise there is no need to discuss this matter!"
