I cast eternal life with the seeds of Tao

In the northwest wilderness, it was midnight.

In the dark forest, Zhao Heng carried the old man on his back and ran all the way to Yanyu City.

Along the way, the old man was still on Zhao Heng's back, drunk and clamoring to go to the inn to drink.

Zhao Heng was speechless for a while.

"Old man, with your body, you still go there to drink, be careful to be sucked dry.

If it weren't for you helping me escape from the formation, I wouldn't bother to care about you."

Along the way, Zhao Heng didn't dare to stop for a moment. He rushed for most of the night and finally saw Yanyu City from afar.

A square city with a large area, with towering towers, torches on the four walls, and guards patrolling.

It was a late night curfew and the city gates were closed.

Finally, he arrived near Yanyu City, and Zhao Heng's heart finally settled down.

He found an open space in the forest outside the city, planning to rest there for a night and enter the city tomorrow.

Recalling what happened today, Zhao Heng couldn't help but secretly say that he was unlucky.

How could he meet people from the Yaoyue Sect on the way to Yanyu City, and even two innate masters appeared.

Before, in order to protect himself, he also reported his name, hoping that this woman would not cause trouble for him again.

In his imagination, the wonderful life in Yanyu City has not yet begun, but reality has taught Zhao Heng a lesson.

At this time, Zhao Heng turned his head and looked at the old drunkard who was lying on the side and was already sleeping soundly.

He was exhausted, but this guy was snoring like thunder.

Zhao Heng looked up and down, and the old man with ragged clothes, messy hair, alcohol and dirty eyes showed a trace of suspicion.

Zhao Heng saved the old drunkard today, of course, because he accidentally saved himself.

But more importantly, Zhao Heng felt that this old drunkard was not simple.

In the novels of the previous life, weren't all those hermits like this, sloppy, carrying a wine gourd, and living a life of drunkenness?

Moreover, after the first meeting with the old man on the wooden bridge, he hurried all the way to the inn.

How did the other party catch up so quickly?

And it was such a coincidence that he appeared at the critical moment, leading me to rush out of the gate and escape the formation.

All the seemingly coincidental experiences, combined together, are definitely not as simple as coincidence.

Although Zhao Heng used the Qi-seeing technique to observe the old man carefully, he did not find any energy fluctuations on the old man, just an ordinary person.

But he suspected that the old man used some mysterious means to block his Qi-seeing technique.

After a little hesitation, Zhao Heng decided to try it himself.

He quietly approached the old man, put his hand on his shoulder, and pulled it slightly.

"Crack...!"

"Ouch... Oh my god!"

The old man's shoulder was dislocated, and he couldn't help but wail and sit up from his sleep.

Zhao Heng knocked the old man unconscious with a palm knife, then silently took his shoulder back and whispered comfort.

"Sorry to bother you, it's just a dream, just have a good sleep."

Facts have proved that Zhao Heng may have thought too much, there are not so many hermits in the world.

After meditating outside the city for a night, Zhao Heng left a bag of silver for the sleeping old drunkard and entered Yanyu City alone the next morning.

Unlike the border town Zhao Heng imagined, Yanyu City is not only large in size, but also has a large population.

The streets are bustling with traffic and people, the shouts of vendors, the laughter of buying and selling, and the sounds of children playing, interweaving together, it is quite prosperous and lively.

There are also many warriors in the city whose blood and qi are obviously more vigorous than ordinary people.

Zhao Heng was not in a hurry to go to the Yuhua Sect branch, but wandered around the entire Yanyu City.

After all, this might be his base camp in the future, Zhao Heng had to familiarize himself with the environment first and confirm the safety factor of the city.

Especially when encountering an accident, is there the most suitable escape route or hiding place?

This is a factor that Zhao Heng must examine every time he arrives at a new place.

In this way, Zhao Heng wandered around the city from day to evening, and finally came to a manor with a large area in the central area of ​​the west of the city.

This manor is called "Qingyu Hall", which implies the Yuhua Sect, Qingxia Peak branch.

…

"Come on, everyone raise a toast to Master Zhao, welcome Master Zhao to come and take charge of Qingyu Hall!"

In the back hall of Qingyu Hall, there was a sumptuous banquet with seven or eight people sitting around.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a strong figure and short hair and a scar on the corner of his eyebrow led others to raise a toast to Zhao Heng, who was sitting in the first seat.

Today, the news that Zhao Heng came to Qingyu Hall was heard, and the whole Qingyu Hall was shocked and prepared a sumptuous welcome dinner.

At this moment, the core members of Qingyu Hall gathered in the hall.

Two deputy hall masters, four guest officials, and a general manager. No one else is qualified to participate in this kind of gathering.

At this time, the short-haired man who took the lead in toasting was "Yu Zhanhai", one of the two deputy hall masters.

The other deputy hall master, named "Liao Qingsong", was tall and thin, with a cold face and was not good at speaking.

The cultivation of the two people was extraordinary. Yu Zhanhai was the fifth level of the refining organ realm, and Liao Qingsong was the fourth level of the refining organ realm.

However, the two were older, and their qi and blood had passed the peak. Obviously, they did not have much potential in the martial arts.

At this time, Zhao Heng also raised his glass.

"Everyone, thank you for your welcome. In the future, I will work with everyone present. Please support me."

"Hall Master is polite. We will definitely follow your instructions."

Under the leadership of Yu Zhanhai, everyone took turns toasting to Zhao Heng, and Zhao Heng also responded one by one, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, everyone felt a little tipsy.

Zhao Heng finally asked: "Two deputy hall masters, this is my first time taking office and I don't know much about Yanyu City and the affairs of the hall. Please explain it to me."

Hearing this, Liao Qingsong remained silent, and Yu Zhanhai on the side took over.

"Lord, although this Yanyu City is a border city, its commerce is developed and the people's livelihood is prosperous. Especially the trade routes leading to the Black Flame Empire are extremely profitable."

Zhao Heng was a little surprised when he heard this, "We still have business dealings with the Black Flame Empire?"

Yu Zhanhai nodded and said: "Of course, the Black Flame Empire, although it is the place where the four demonic sects are entrenched, there are also many sects, martial arts families and casual warriors.

They also need cultivation materials, and some elixirs, weapon refining materials, and elixir refining materials are only available in our Yunfeng Empire.

As long as we can safely transport these materials to the Black Flame Empire and complete the transaction, we will be able to obtain huge returns.

Alternatively, we can also purchase the unique resources of the Black Flame Empire and sell them in the Yunfeng Empire. "

Zhao Heng suddenly realized that this could be regarded as a kind of resource replacement, from which the Yuhua Sect could make huge profits.

"In this case, it seems that the flow of water in Qingyu Hall should be very impressive."

Zhao Hengxin asked, did he take over a fat job?

However, Yu Zhanhai looked embarrassed.

"To be honest with you, the hall master, the profits our Qingyu Hall brings in are just enough to provide monthly salaries to our subordinates."

"Oh...how could this happen?"

Yu Zhanhai explained: "Master, our Qingyu Hall has only been established in Yanyu City for two or three years. It is considered a newly built hall and has not yet established a firm foothold.

In addition, there are also halls established by three of the seven sects of the Righteous Path, the Fierce Flame Sect, Huanyue Sect and Beast Control Sect.

Moreover, these three sects have taken root in Yanyu City for a long time and have extremely wide connections.

Every time the goods of our Ascension Sect are transported to the territory of the Black Flame Dynasty, they are always harassed and plundered by some demonic sects.

However, the three of them have their own business paths, and after opening up the relationship, they can move forward unimpeded. "

"I see."

Zhao Heng did not expect that the situation in Yanyu City was so complicated.

However, he didn't expect to draw too much money from the branch hall. As long as he could practice with peace of mind, it was more important than anything else.

Afterwards, everyone chatted again.

Yu Zhanhai introduced to Zhao Heng some projects operated by Qingyu Hall.

Qingmu Hall is mainly engaged in the sales of elixir materials. At the same time, as a branch hall of the Ascension Sect, it is also responsible for receiving and becoming disciples of the sect, or storing some sect strategic materials, etc.

In the entire Qingmu Hall, apart from the few people present here, plus the tellers and nursing staff, there are more than a hundred people.

Zhao Heng kept this information in mind one by one, and distributed some mysterious crystals and elixirs to everyone that night as a meeting gift for everyone.

In this way, a welcome dinner ended perfectly.

Everyone dispersed. As the hall master, Zhao Heng lived in an independent courtyard in the center of the manor.

The courtyard has wing rooms, guest houses, tea rooms, and study rooms.

The most important thing is that the courtyard also has an underground secret room for practicing martial arts, which is very suitable for Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng checked in that night and arranged a four-image blood refining array in the secret room.

At the same time, he used Qi-gazing techniques to check the entire practice room, inside and out, several times.

After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, Zhao Heng finally relaxed his body and mind.

Ever since the outer sect trial ended and he received attention from everyone in the sect, Zhao Heng was not nervous every day, fearing that his secret would be discovered.

Now, I finally came to a safe place, away from the unpredictable big shots in the sect.

Zhao Heng was finally able to take a good inventory of his supplies, start digesting these resources, and improve his strength!
