I cast eternal life with the seeds of Tao

"boom!"

In the underground secret room, a slight roar sounded.

Zhao Heng, who was sitting cross-legged, was shaken and his face turned slightly pale.

After a while of exercise and breath control, he returned to his original state after a while.

Opening his eyes, Zhao Heng felt helpless.

"This Nine-turn Jing Yuan Jue is really difficult to practice."

The acquired length of the Nine Transformations Jing Yuan Jue has been transformed into a perfect state by Zhao Heng, who spent more than a thousand low-grade mysterious crystals.

After the transformation of this skill, the practice principles have almost remained unchanged.

But in terms of safety factor, it has been improved geometrically.

In the original technique, every time the energy ball fails to be condensed, it may cause serious injuries and endanger life, and requires a long period of practice.

But the modified technique optimized the plan for condensing Qi Yuan balls.

And designed a set of methods to perfectly relieve the force after the Qi Yuan ball explodes.

Now that the Qi Yuan ball has failed to condense, Zhao Heng will only receive some Qi and blood shock. He can recover with a little breath adjustment, and the cost has been reduced countless times.

But even so, Zhao Heng has tried hundreds of times for more than a month, but he has not been able to successfully condense a Qi Yuan ball.

Shaking his head, Zhao Heng stopped practicing stubbornly and relaxed instead.

Empty your mental energy and focus on your eyes, ears, mouth and nose... and other sensory areas.

The six senses dispersed, and Zhao Heng felt that his senses seemed to spread out, drifting into the distance, leaving the basement.

The servants, maids, and guards who appeared in the entire courtyard... Zhao Heng could vaguely sense their auras and even their movements.

This is an extremely mysterious feeling, as if Zhao Heng's soul floated out of the body and saw everything.

Although it is hazy and illusory, the perception is so real.

“Is this the effect of the Qi-gazing technique ‘Soul Capturing Chapter’?”

For more than a month after coming to Qingyu Hall, Zhao Heng has been immersed in cultivation.

Nowadays, many of his martial arts skills have been mastered, and he has even initially mastered the mountain-opening style of the Stone Splitting Fist, an innate martial skill.

But Zhao Heng has tried many times, and in his current state, he is still unable to perform the "Mountain-Opening Style".

The biggest reason is that he lacks energy in his body.

Therefore, these days, Zhao Heng mainly practices the 'Nine Turns of Jing Yuan Jue' and the 'Fourth Level of Qi Watching Technique'.

The Nine Turns Jing Yuan Jue condenses the 'Qi Yuan Ball', which can double the energy, blood, and profound energy. It may help Zhao Heng perform the Mountain Opening Style.

The Qi Watching Technique does not require it and consumes a lot of energy, and Zhao Heng has been practicing this technique and is quite talented.

As expected, before the breakthrough was achieved in the Nine Turns of Jing Yuan Jue.

Zhao Heng miraculously reached the fourth level of Qi Watching Technique.

Even though he barely crossed a threshold, Zhao Heng could feel that his mental power had achieved a qualitative breakthrough.

At this time, this kind of "soul leaving the body", super perception of the surrounding things, is the ability brought by the fourth level of Qi Watching.

Zhao Heng feels that if he continues to practice deeply, his perception will be enhanced and even new abilities will be developed.

Slowly withdrawing his power, Zhao Heng's six senses returned, the white light in his eyes disappeared, he stood up and walked out of the secret room.

It was another early morning. As usual, Zhao Heng walked out of the small courtyard to inspect the entrance of the hall.

Everyone in Qingyu Hall quickly saluted respectfully when they saw Zhao Heng.

"Hello, Master!"

Although everyone's reaction seemed to respect Zhao Heng.

But with Zhao Heng's current perception, he could keenly detect a trace of perfunctory and indifference in these people's eyes.

They seemed to just treat themselves as a hall master with an empty name and just deal with it.

Zhao Heng could even occasionally hear some people talking and laughing at him behind his back.

In this regard, Zhao Heng did not show any abnormality and smiled kindly to everyone.

It's not that Zhao Heng is so cautious that he has to be careful to please his subordinates.

But he knew that since he was new here, it would take some time to completely control Qingyu Hall.

The more mediocre and incompetent you are, the more people and things you deliberately hide from your sight, you can relax your vigilance and slowly surface.

Zhao Heng inspected the manor and found no sign of Yu Zhanhai.

He came to the front hall and asked the old steward who was responsible for the daily affairs of the hall.

The latter hurriedly said: "Reporting to the hall master, the deputy hall master is out shopping. He said that in half a month, he will leave the city to trade a batch of supplies with the master of a nearby martial arts clan."

Zhao nodded and said, "Deputy Hall Master Yu is really hardworking."

The old steward quickly agreed: "What the hall master said is that before you came to take charge of the overall situation, everything in this hall was handled by the deputy hall master Yu alone. He really worked hard and worked very hard. !”

Zhao Heng smiled and nodded, and then asked: "Hey... what about Deputy Hall Master Liao? Why haven't you seen him on weekdays?"

The old manager looked around, shook his head and said: "To be honest with the hall master, Deputy Hall Master Liao has always been like this. He doesn't care about the affairs of the hall. He either stays at his residence to practice, or he goes to the brothel in the city to get drunk."

When Zhao Heng heard this, he immediately frowned.

"As the deputy hall master, this is too unsatisfactory. Does the salary given to him by the sect allow him to hang out with the girls in the brothel all day long?

Boss, please send someone to call Liao Qingsong! "

"Hall Master, this..."

"Stop talking nonsense and go!"

The old manager nodded with an embarrassment, and when he turned to leave, a smile of success appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Heng behind him also showed a playful smile.

…

A quarter of an hour later, in Zhao Heng's small courtyard hall.

Liao Qingsong came over rather uneasily to meet Zhao Heng.

He had guessed from the angry look on the servant's face that it was probably not a good thing.

"Could it be that that guy still thinks I'm an eyesore and is slandering me again in front of the hall master?"

Liao Qingsong stood outside the hall door, thinking to himself.

"Deputy Hall Master Liao, why are you standing outside the door? Please come in quickly!"

At this time, Zhao Heng in the hall personally greeted him with a warm look on his face.

Liao Qingsong felt a little surprised when he saw this, and was welcomed into the hall by Zhao Heng.

Immediately, the two of them took their seats respectively. Zhao Heng personally made tea for Liao Qingsong and chatted with him.

Zhao Heng talked about trivial matters and expressed concern for Liao Qingsong.

Liao Qingsong, who was originally anxious, felt relieved now, but due to his personality, he was not talkative.

After Zhao Heng chatted with him for a while, he ran out of topics.

Liao Qingsong tried hard to find some topics to relieve his embarrassment, but he couldn't think of a topic because he was holding back the sweat on his forehead.

Seeing this, Zhao Heng just smiled slightly and said: "Deputy Hall Master Liao, it's getting late, and I won't keep you here, so go and do your work.

From now on, if you encounter any matters in the hall, you can come to me for discussion. This hall master will definitely listen to your opinions.

Hearing this, Liao Qingsong, who had already stood up and planned to leave, felt something in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally turned around and looked at Zhao Heng.

"Master, I do have something to ask."

Zhao Heng said calmly: "Deputy Hall Master Liao, please speak."

"Hall Master, I wonder if the Deputy Hall Master has ever given you the keys and array disks of the hall's warehouse for safekeeping?

In the warehouse, all the important materials placed by the sect are sealed here, so the keys and array disks of the warehouse should be controlled by the hall master.

Qingyu Hall has never had a hall master take office before, so these two things are in the hands of the deputy hall master. "

Hearing this, Zhao Heng suddenly felt enlightened, but nodded calmly on his face.

"I know this. Deputy Hall Master Yu mentioned it to me once before, and I asked him to keep these two things for the time being."

Liao Qingsong was slightly surprised when he heard this, but he still reminded him.

"Hall Master, the materials in the warehouse are of great importance. Since you have arrived, it is better to strengthen the control to avoid any mistakes."

After saying that, Liao Qingsong said no more and left.

Looking at Liao Qingsong's leaving figure, Zhao Heng narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

…

In the next few days, Zhao Heng still only patrolled the entrance of the hall every morning.

On the contrary, Liao Qingsong, after Zhao Heng summoned him once, often came to the hall for duty for a period of time.

But when he saw that Zhao Heng still neglected to manage the hall every day.

Moreover, during this period, Yu Zhanhai was summoned frequently.

The two often chatted and laughed side by side, and even hugged each other. They seemed to have a very good relationship.

Liao Qingsong sighed secretly, shook his head in disappointment, and stopped appearing in the hall for many days.

Until half a month later.

That evening, the sky was gloomy and drizzle was falling in the sky.

Yu Zhanhai personally escorted a batch of supplies out of the hall, saying that he wanted to trade with a martial arts family outside the city.

He found Zhao Heng in advance, with whom he was now very familiar, and asked him to sign the supply list.

As expected, Zhao Heng was unprepared and simply signed to let him go. Before leaving, he put his arm around Yu Zhanhai's shoulders and took the initiative to see him off.

Yu Zhanhai was happy in his heart, secretly thinking that this little hall master was really easy to fool, and was completely under his control. It seemed that the big plan in the near future was expected to be implemented.

Then, he led a large group of people and left...
