Do not die

Because Meng Zhou opened the formation in advance, Zhu Qian led the two monks straight into the courtyard.

Meng Zhou extended his hand and invited the three of them to sit wherever they pleased. He looked at Zhu Qian and asked curiously, "I wonder if Daoyou Zhu is here this time?"

Zhu Qian smiled and said, "I happened to pass by fellow Taoist Zhuang, so I wanted to bring two fellow Taoists to your place."

Meng Zhou handed two cups of fragrant tea to the two monks and said, "You should at least inform me in advance. If I happen to be in retreat, wouldn't it be a waste of trouble for you to go all the way?"

Zhu Qian picked up a cup of spiritual tea in front of her and said: "It's a waste of time to run, it's just a matter of convenience anyway... Hmm~~"

Zhu Qian suddenly widened her eyes, looked at the teacup in her hand, and then at "Fellow Taoist Zhuang" who was completely unaware. She quickly swallowed the tea soup in her mouth, and then said in surprise:

"Fellow Daoist Zhuang, is this the same spiritual tea you drank last time?"

Meng Zhou said: "Of course."

"Why is there such a big difference?" Zhu Qian continued to wonder.

Meng Zhou said: "Of course it's because my tea-making level is improving!"

He replied casually, then looked at the other two monks who were bowing their heads and sipping tea seriously, and said, "Why don't you introduce me to me?"

Zhu Qian said "Yeah", drank the tea soup in one gulp, put down the tea cup, stretched out her hand and said:

"This is fellow Taoist Luo Dailuo, a second-level mid-level spiritual planter."

She first introduced a middle-aged man next to her, and then introduced another young man who looked younger and had many similarities with Luo Dai:

"This is Fellow Taoist Luo Xingluo, um... he is also a very talented spiritual planter."

After the introduction, Zhu Qian said with a smile: "They are all reinforcements arranged by the association for me. With them, I don't have to be called upon by the Sanchuan Society every now and then."

At this moment, the young man named Luo Xing suddenly looked at Meng Zhou and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhuang, I heard from Daoist Zhu that you just started to contact Lingzhi Dao?"

Meng Zhou nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, as a junior learner, I will inevitably ask for more advice in the future."

His apparently casual and perfunctory words seemed to be taken seriously by Luo Xing, who nodded seriously and said: "I don't take it as advice, but I think it can help fellow Taoists avoid some detours."

Meng Zhou was stunned by his sudden reply and felt a little baffled.

Luo Dai frowned and said displeasedly: "Luo Xing!"

Looking at Meng Zhou who looked confused, he quickly handed over his hands and said apologetically: "Fellow Daoist Zhuang, Luo Xing made a mistake, I apologize to you on his behalf!"

Meng Zhou became even more confused. He looked at Luo Xing, who was silent next to him, and then at Luo Dai, and said, "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Luo, what is your relationship?"

Luo Dai said: "This is Quanzi, who just broke through the foundation recently."

Meng Zhou said in surprise: "I thought he was your brother... But Fellow Daoist Luo, your words are a little too self-effacing.

If Brother Luo has achieved so much and is still a 'dog', what will a tiger look like? "

Luo Dai suddenly shook his head and sighed, looking like he was speechless.

Next to him, Luo Xing, who had long since turned his face into a donkey's face, finally couldn't stand it any longer. He got up angrily and flew away without even saying hello.

Luo Dai had no choice but to say to Meng Zhou and Zhu Qian: "Fellow Daoist Zhuang, fellow Daoist Zhu, please take your time and chat while I go first."

After saying that, he cupped his hands and flew away.

Meng Zhou then looked at Zhu Qian, who was enjoying tea leisurely next to him, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, which song is this?"

Zhu Qian shook her head and said: "The current foundation building..."

At this point, she shook her head again.

"What's wrong with the foundation building now? Is it bothering you?"

Zhu Qian looked up at Meng Zhou and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhuang, do you know what Daoist Luo has done to make his son's foundation building successful?"

"What?"

Zhu Qian said:

"Two foundation-building pills, one of which is a fine product.

You said, with such a backing, isn't it natural for him to succeed in building the foundation of Luo Xing?

If this could still fail, how crippled would he have to be?

But Luo Xing himself didn't think so. He believed that at least ninety percent of the success should be attributed to himself, and that the success of foundation building depended on his own efforts and talents.

As for the two foundation-building pills provided by his father, they were the icing on the cake at best! "

"..." Meng Zhou.

He probably understood a little bit what Zhu Qi's unspoken words were just now.

Probably, it should be something like "the current foundation building is too weak".

It seems that as Qingxuanzong takes the initiative to make Foundation Establishment Pills available, as long as there are spiritual stones, you can buy Foundation Establishment Pills. This has become inevitable.

As Zhu Qian told it, Meng Zhou also learned more about the inside story about the father and son.

Not long after the foundation was established, and not even a few days happy, Luo Xing got into great trouble.

"The current Jade Lake Fairy City, I dare not say anything else, but the background behind it is mysterious, and the background is not too big to be scary.

Behind any little qi-training monk, there might be someone behind him that ordinary foundation builders can't afford to offend.

Luo Xing is definitely not the only one who suffers a big loss in this regard because of his lack of foresight. "

Zhu Qian didn't say what trouble Luo Xing got into, but she expressed such emotion.

In order to save Luo Xing, Luo Dai lost all his savings for many years, so he still invited Zhu Qian's teacher, the president of the spiritual planter branch to come forward to make peace, and then reluctantly put the matter aside.

At this time, Zhu Qian's letter for help also happened to reach her teacher.

Because the number of outsiders who come to Sanchuan Plain to farm is increasing, even though Zhu Qian has taken away the most arduous tasks, there are still more and more matters that cannot be shied away and must be handled by her personally.

If one person cannot solve the problem, it is natural to ask the parents for help.

Her teacher took the opportunity to arrange for the father and son to come over.

Firstly, these two men just owed a big favor, so they had better send him; secondly, these two men had spent all their savings for peace, and they just needed this opportunity to recuperate their health.

The two of them had just suffered a big loss in Cuiyu Lake, so they would not feel aggrieved by being assigned to a "remote place" like Sanchuanyuan.

Meng Zhou was stunned, but he said doubtfully: "Then Luo Xing seems to have some objections to me? This is the first time we have met, so why is he doing this?"

Zhu Qian coughed lightly, and suddenly a strange-shaped object appeared in her hand, with "0" on the top and "ten" on the bottom. It exuded the unique spiritual fluctuations of second-level magic weapons.

"I guess it has something to do with this thing."

"This is?"

Meng Zhou was confused. Of course he knew that this was the status token of the Professionals Association, but what did this have to do with the question he asked?

Zhu Qian handed this thing to Meng Zhou and said:

"This is what my teacher Torodai sent here to prepare for you."

She also specifically explained: "This kind of token and magic weapon is the exclusive property of a special person. Last time I asked the teacher for the jade slip of the soul refining method inheritance for you, but this thing was not ready yet."

As she spoke, she faced the inner side of the magic weapon ring towards Meng Zhou and said, "Look, there is a special mark here. From now on, this thing will only be recognized if it is in your hands."

Speaking of which, she also explained the origin of Luo Xing's attitude.

"Although he has successfully established a foundation, the association's assessment of membership levels is based on professional standards, not cultivation level.

Although he has studied spiritual cultivation with his father since he was a child, he is still at the level of a first-class spiritual cultivation master and can only be regarded as a first-class member in the association.

The tokens they hold are far less particular than those of second-level members. "

Meng Zhou nodded thoughtfully.

According to the information he revealed to Zhu Qian, he had just come into contact with spiritual cultivation, and he was in doubt about whether he would become an official spiritual cultivation master. In just a few months, it was even more unbelievable that he had stepped from the first level to the second level. Too likely.

Therefore, according to the regulations of the association, he should not have such a second-level token.

The reason why she enjoyed such privileges without knowing it was of course because of the special relationship between Zhu Qian and the spiritual planter president.

Probably, maybe, this is the reason why Luo Xing is unhappy.

After thinking about this, Meng Zhou suddenly felt dumbfounded.

He stared at it for a while and asked doubtfully: "Does this thing have any special function?"

Zhu Qian said: "It is not very useful in itself. The biggest function is to prove that you are a second-level member recognized by the association. If necessary, you can enjoy all the benefits that a second-level member should have.

For example, the fact that Luo Dai and his son were able to walk out of the Jade Lake Fairy City intact was mostly due to their status. "

Having said this, Zhu Qian paused and emphasized:

“However, the association will not cover all behaviors of its members without a bottom line.

Don't even think about doing whatever you want with this, it's impossible. "

Meng Zhou nodded, somewhat understanding why Naluo Xingxing cared so much about such a trivial matter.

"Second-level member? But I'm not a second-level spiritual planter yet.

Should you wait until I officially become a second-level spiritual planter before giving it to me? "

Zhu Qian said: "I believe in my own vision... I dare to give it, but you still dare not take it?"

Provoke me?

Meng Zhou didn't take this matter seriously at first, so he reached out and took it.

While playing around, he curiously asked: "I'm curious, what is the status of second-level members in the association?"

Zhu Qian said: "Of course it is the top management. Except for a few veteran members, there is no one with a higher status than us.

She is my teacher. Although her strength and status are far above us, she is also a second-level member and holds the same tokens as us. "

"Elder member?" Meng Zhou noticed Hua Dian keenly.

"Oh, you don't need to pay too much attention to this, it is said to be related to the association's previous inheritance.

However, with the rapid development of the association these days, almost no one mentions this matter. You can just regard it as an honorary title. "

Meng Zhou nodded: "Oh."

Zhu Qi asked: "Do you have anything else to ask?"

"Nope."

"Then...do you have more spiritual tea? Can you give me some more?"

When she said this, Zhu Qian's eyes were straight. It could be seen that she really liked the tea today.

Or, she also feels that she is very close to her, so she can make this request casually, right?

Finally, she happily left with a small bag of about one or two portions of spiritual tea.

…

After Zhu Qian left, Meng Zhou continued to practice Cun Bu and the Three Innate Skills.

During a break, Meng Zhou watched the growth of the jade-heart red fruit vine in the spiritual field through the moon mirror.

At this moment, it happened to be night, and around the Qianmu Spiritual Field, there were only one Qi Practitioner cultivator in each of the four guard booths quietly on duty.

Everything inside and outside the courtyard was completely silent.

After confirming that nothing was unusual in the spiritual field, and that his physical condition had almost recovered, Meng Zhou was ready to withdraw from the Sea of ​​Consciousness and continue practicing.

Just when he was about to close the moon mirror——

"Eh...what the hell is this?"

Meng Zhou made a sound of surprise in his heart.

In the completely opposite direction to Lingtian, at the edge of the observation range of his moon mirror, there was a piece of solid night moving quickly.

The reason why he was able to discover this moving color block that seemed to blend into the night was like a mosquito that suddenly flew up in a dim environment.

If the mosquito stayed motionless somewhere, he would definitely not be able to detect anything unusual.

But when it started to move, it was incompatible with the surroundings, so he immediately pulled it out.

Moreover, under the moon mirror, the solid and moving "night" seems to be mosaic.

It looks blurry, but compared with the surrounding night, it shows a strong trace of artificial axe.

Not natural at all!

Meng Zhou judged that this should be the credit of Yue Jing's "breaking through illusions and seeing the truth".

It was the special ability of the innate soul skill Moon Mirror that pulled it out of such a stealth disguise.

Meng Zhou had once experimented with his own formation, which could be called a quasi-third-level formation. Outside the formation, his soul-refining method had reached a master level with his Moon Mirror talent. Although he could not completely see through the obstacles of the formation, what he saw was better than what he saw at the moment. What you see is much clearer.

So, what is this?

A piece of stealth equipment with a high probability of being of third-level quality?

Thinking of this, Meng Zhou was shocked.

And while he was thinking briefly, the disharmonious and moving piece of "solidified night" had disappeared beyond the scope of the moon mirror!

Meng Zhou, whose consciousness was still in the sea of ​​consciousness, was so shocked that he held his breath and did not even dare to take a breath.

Go to the site to check it out?

This crazy idea was pushed back by Meng Zhou as soon as it surfaced.

As we all know, Qi-training monks can only use first-level magic weapons. With the magic power of Qi-training monks, they are powerless against second-level magic weapons.

Similarly, foundation-building monks can only use first- and second-level magic weapons, and it is absolutely impossible to use third-level magic weapons.

Those who can use third-level stealth equipment must at worst be fake elixir level masters!

So, just now, there was a being of fake elixir or above sneaking past the edge of my moon mirror?

The viewing range of the moon mirror is ten miles in radius.

In other words, not long ago, a strong person with fake elixir or above had passed by him?

Who is the other party?

What's the purpose?

What are you doing in Sanchuanyuan?

Why are you so sneaky?

Thoughts swirled and disappeared in Meng Zhou's heart.

The more I thought about Meng Zhou, the more uneasy I felt.

However, he did not die in this corner.

"No, no, if the person just now is a fake elixir or above, there are only a few of them in Sanchuan Yuan in the later stage of foundation building. How can he be so sneaky?"

"For him to do this means he is worried about being exposed."

"Why are you afraid of being exposed? Of course you are afraid of danger!"

"If you are a strong person with false elixir or above, do you need to worry like this?"

"With such strength, you can completely walk sideways in Mikawa Plains!"

"Doesn't this in turn mean that the opponent most likely does not have the strength above the fake elixir!"

"Moreover, it does not necessarily require a third-level magic weapon to have a stealth effect comparable to third-level quality."

"Although the third-level stealth talisman is a one-time use, during the period of use, the effect is undoubtedly that of third-level quality."

"There are also third-level talismans!"

"There are also some special third-level spiritual objects that can also have a shielding effect!"

Thinking like this, Meng Zhou's high-spirited heart slowly began to calm down.

He realized that no matter which one of the following speculations, there was a much greater possibility than having a powerful person with fake elixir or above appear in Sanchuan Yuan.

And this is just a method that he knows just by thinking about it. There are even more unknown methods that he doesn't know.

Therefore, based on this clue alone, it is somewhat untenable to conclude that there are people with fake elixir or above who are sneaking around.

Meng Zhou felt much more at ease, but not much at ease.

In a calm state of mind, there are always alarm bells hanging high.

…

The day after Zhu Qian brought the Luo family and his son for a visit, Zhu Qian brought Luo Dai and Luo Xing to the Sanchuanhui headquarters.

In front of the headquarters of the Sanchuan Association, Luo Dai glanced at Luo Xing and warned in a low voice: "If you can't speak, you will be treated as a mute!"

Just when Luo Dai was training his son and Luo Xing lowered his head, feeling ashamed to see others, Zhu Qian next to him looked sideways at the sky, showing no emotion.

Soon, the three of them were received individually by President Pan.

When Zhu Qian said that her teacher was aware of the serious mismatch between the increasing number of landowners and the lack of spiritual planters in the Sanchuan Plains Zhuji Village, and specially sent elite soldiers from the headquarters to support them.

President Pan highly praised this and expressed a warm welcome to the arrival of Luo Dai and Luo Xing and his son.

Finally, accompanied by President Pan personally, the group visited the headquarters of the Sanchuan Society, the spiritual seed warehouse, the nursery base and the dispatch and coordination center.

At the end of the trip, President Pan instructed Master Zhu Qian to complete the handover and distribution work with Master Luo Dai.

…

After watching the three people leave, the smile on his face quietly disappeared. President Pan crossed his chest with one hand and supported his chin and lips with the other, lost in thought.

A middle-aged woman appeared in front of him and whispered: "Teacher, you don't seem to be very happy about their arrival?"

President Pan nodded.

"But haven't you been saying that there are not enough spiritual planters in Sanchuan Yuan?"

President Pan shook his head and sighed, looked at the innocent disciple, couldn't help but bring up the old things again, and said:

"Xiao Ding, you'd better go back to Jade Lake for retreat.

I have given you so many spiritual stones. Isn’t it a waste for you to be like this now? "

Ding Ning shook his head and said:

"How can I leave you here alone, teacher? I have already told you that either we will go there together or we will not go at all."

President Pan felt even more headache after hearing this:

"How many times do I have to tell you before you realize that after going there, I will be a good-for-nothing old man.

I’ve spent my whole life here and I’m not going anywhere, but you are different…”

He is here to talk sincerely, but his female apprentice Ding Ning is indifferent:

"Teacher, you haven't said anything yet. Do you have any opinions about the Luo family and his son?"

President Pan looked at this apprentice who looked like an idiot in other aspects except cultivation. The key was that he was stubborn and stubborn.

I lamented in my heart, what evil did I do in my previous life to end up with such a precious baby!

Seeing the apprentice who refused to give up until he gave an explanation, he finally couldn't help but said:

"If they are freelancers, of course I would be too late to welcome them. But the key point is that they are not here on their own behalf. They are sent here by the Professionals Association."

"Does this matter?...Do they dare to do anything?"

Looking at the apprentice who was tilting his head and looking cute and stupid, President Pan waved his hand and said:

"Okay, that's it, thank you for your concern.

However, please leave me alone... Also, they won't do anything, so don't mess around! "

"oh."

…

Ten days later.

In the same room, in the same position, President Pan looked at the group of angry monks in front of him in astonishment and said, "Are you kidding me?"

An old man who looked even older than him, with an aura that was unabashedly angry, contained the power of the later stages of foundation building, as well as the decay and decay of old age. He said angrily:

"Are you kidding? With so many of us witnessing it, who is still in the mood to joke with you? If you don't believe it, let's go over and have a look!"

President Pan said: "Okay, let's go over and take a look."

Seeing everyone's shocked and angry looks, President Pan said solemnly: "I must confirm this with my own eyes!"

After a while, the group came to a farm about eighty miles away from the town.

Before the group arrived, they saw a huge cloud and rain group covering the sky above Lingtian from a distance.

If Meng Zhou or other foreign landowners saw it, they would definitely be very surprised. The area of ​​this spiritual field is not too big, only about a thousand acres, but among it, there are 300 acres of second-level high-grade spiritual fields, and 300 acres of second-grade middle-grade spiritual fields. There are 400 acres of spiritual fields, and only the 300 acres at the edge are second-level low-grade spiritual fields.

President Pan looked at the second-level high-grade spiritual plants that showed obvious symptoms of thirst for water. Many second-level low-grade spiritual plants were completely dead.

Seeing this scene, President Pan's expression was so serious that he seemed to be dripping with water.

It was still the old man who looked very old but had advanced cultivation in the foundation building stage and said:

"At first, we thought that the Fan family leader was just in seclusion, so we didn't pay much attention.

It was only after discovering something strange about his spiritual field that it was confirmed that he was not in seclusion. "

President Pan nodded in approval. If the retreat was normal, the watering of the spiritual field would naturally be properly arranged in advance, so that the thousand acres of spiritual field would not be left in ruins.

"Go down."

The group of people soon came to a courtyard below. Outside the quiet room, there were two foundation-building monks guarding the left and right sides of the quiet room with dark faces.

Not far away, there were a dozen qi-training monks standing there as if they were mourning for their heirs.

President Pan just glanced at it, ignored it, and went directly into the quiet room.

As soon as he entered, a disgusting rancid smell penetrated his nostrils.

In this regard, President Pan did not even frown. His eyes were completely focused on a corpse sitting cross-legged on the bed.

Because it had been so long, the body had been severely deformed, and its identity could only be guessed based on its clothing.

However, President Pan's method was able to determine directly from the bones that this person was the head of the Fan family.

"Approximately when did he die?"

"Ten days ago!"

"Do you know the methods used by the thief?"

"I don't know, but this quiet room formation was forcibly broken after we discovered something was wrong.

Before breaking through, we shouted inside for a long time and confirmed the formation. There was no trace of damage.

After entering the quiet room, we also used other methods to verify that there were no traces left by the second person except the head of the Fan family before we entered! "

President Pan narrowed his eyes: "A move outside the quiet room? A sure-fire method that has its own way of breaking the ban?"

The old man did not answer President Pan's words, but looked at President Pan. After a long time, he suddenly asked: "Old Pan, are you still one of our Sanchuan people?"

President Pan was stunned and said, "What are you talking about? Of course I am!"

"Then what are you going to do now?!"

"How to deal with it?" President Pan wondered.

"Isn't the evil intention of the thief obvious? He is not only killing the head of the Fan family, he is trying to dig out the roots of all of us!"

President Pan's expression also turned cold. The head of the Fan family they mentioned was the only second-level middle-grade spiritual planter in Sanchuan Plain.

Woof woof woof——

It's finally straightened out and I can finally turn into a human being tomorrow.

I finally understand why the update has been stuck in the past two days. It is my subconscious reminding me that a certain preset node of this copy should be reached, but I am not ready for this yet.

After a day or two of grooming, it's basically done, and he probably won't be a puppy anymore.

We will try to make up for the missed efforts in these two days in subsequent updates.
