Longevity, Starting From Raising Chickens

Chapter 50 Passing the Torch

When Wang Ba came to Nanhu Village, he found that the place had completely changed.

Perhaps in order to facilitate the placement of these new handymen, in just a few days, more than a dozen rows of brand-new houses were built next to Nanhu Village out of thin air.

It's just different from the sect disciples who were coming and going a few days ago. Wang Ba observed for a while and found that the number of Qi Refining disciples was obviously less.

The monks from the Foundation Building are even missing. They are probably not here anymore.

Unlike Xiyuanfang City, which was deserted, Nanhu Village was bustling with activity.

People were coming and going, rubbing shoulders, just like a mundane market.

Wang Ba observed for a while and then quietly stopped his disguise.

When he was among the crowd, he was an inconspicuous busboy, so he didn't have to worry too much about being noticed.

Secondly, deceiving so many people at the same time, even though few are Qi Refining disciples, consumes a lot of Yin Shen's power.

In the meantime, he saw people wearing deacon uniforms shouting and leading away a few servants from time to time, seemingly arranging work.

The new servants seemed to be full of curiosity about the life of the sect. They looked around one by one, their eyes almost unable to conceal their longing for the Xian Family sect.

The sense of urgency that the war is approaching does not seem to affect this place at all.

Wang Ba watched for a while, then carefully searched for the entrance of the tunnel according to the location drawn on Gou Mu's map.

The entrance to the tunnel is in a dry well in the backyard of an abandoned house.

The location is very remote and there are very few pedestrians around.

What made him relieved was that no one seemed to be living in this abandoned house, perhaps because it was too shabby.

But what troubled him was that he saw a few sect disciples here.

Not daring to stay longer so as not to arouse the sect disciples' vigilance, Wang Ba walked a little further, then he grabbed a woman dressed as a handyman and stuffed two more eggs into her.

It is said that although rare chicken eggs are not worth much, they are indeed the ultimate weapon in times like this.

The handyman woman was covering her chest warily at first, but when she saw this, she was not polite and quickly put the eggs in her arms.

"Hey, sister, let me ask you something. The Lu family who moved here not long ago, why doesn't it seem like they are no longer here?"

Wang Ba did not ask directly, but took a detour first.

Just after he entered the village, he planned to visit his old friends, but unexpectedly found that the house where the Lu family was located was empty.

The handywoman's face tightened when she heard this. She first turned her head and looked over Wang Ba at the opposite side, and then spoke quickly and in a low voice:

"Why are you asking this? This is not the right thing to ask!"

"This Lu family has offended someone!"

"I was just kicked out of the village a few days ago."

"Kicked out of the village?" Wang Ba couldn't help but frown: "Then, where was he kicked out? Out of the sect?"

"without!"

A trace of disgust flashed in the handywoman's eyes:

"How dare they leave the sect! I heard that someone from above gave the Lu family permission to leave the sect, but they refused. Now they are living in a village outside. Well, just west of Fangshi..."

"No one else knows about these things. I just told you because of your sweet mouth!"

"Thank you!"

Wang Ba quickly smiled and handed over two more eggs. The handywoman was overjoyed and stuffed them into her arms, holding out six bulging bags in front of her.

Wang Ba glanced at it and then said casually: "By the way, I haven't been here for a while. Why are there so many immortals here?"

These words immediately caused the handyman woman to express her bitterness:

"Hey, it wasn't because of a few servants who disappeared before. The immortals were almost finished leaving, but suddenly the servants disappeared. The superiors sent a few more immortals here. Well, you Although the location here is remote, the sightline is excellent, and you can see the entire village at a glance."

"But, it is estimated that these immortals will go back in a few days."

Wang Ba asked curiously: "Why?"

"Don't you know? There's going to be a war! Who will have time to take care of us then?"

The handyman woman said of course.

Then he showed regret on his face: "It's a pity that we women don't have much strength. If I am a leader, I will definitely seize this opportunity and follow the immortals into battle. When the time comes, I will be able to gain spiritual roots even if I have no choice!" "

Wang Ba laughed twice when he heard this.

He wasn't going to go.

After saying goodbye to the handyman woman, Wang Ba couldn't think of any way to avoid the sect disciples around the tunnel entrance. He could only suppress his impatience and left Nanhu Village.

After thinking about it, he took a detour halfway to Zhuangzi where the Lu family was.

Although he had already made many guesses about the Lu family's plight, when he saw Shopkeeper Lu lying on the sickbed, almost speechless, Wang Ba didn't know what to say for a moment.

"What's wrong with that!"

After a while, Wang Ba left a few spiritual stones to express his feelings, and then left the Lu family.

Standing at the door and looking at the dilapidated state of the courtyard, he couldn't help but sigh.

He really couldn't figure out why Shopkeeper Lu stayed here even though he knew that the sect was in turmoil and there were many disciples who hated the Lu family.

If one leaves the sect, with the Lu family's past background, it will not be difficult to become rich.

Why are you being treated so harshly here?

The sect's indifference also left Wang Ba speechless.

After all, the Lu family was also the family of Lu Yuansheng, the former top disciple of the outer sect. However, the sect did not show any signs of being in such a miserable state. Aren't they worried that the sect's disciples would become disloyal?

With these doubts and complicated feelings, Wang Ba didn't go far when he was suddenly stopped by a voice.

"Junior brother Wang, stay here."

Junior Brother Wang?

Wang Ba mentioned it in his mind, and immediately thought of the other party's identity.

He quickly turned around and bowed and saluted: "Enter...Senior Brother Zhao!"

"You are Welcome!"

Zhao Feng, who was carrying the magic sword on his back, strode over and walked closer, suddenly a strange look appeared on his face:

"The ninth floor?"

"It seems that your Hidden Spirit Root, if not High Grade, is at least above average!"

As he spoke, he gently held Wang Ba's saluting arm without leaving a trace, and the magic power as thin as a gossamer quietly turned. After a slight start, a smile appeared on his stern face for the first time.

Wang Ba felt vaguely that something foreign had entered his body, but when he felt it carefully it disappeared, and his heart suddenly shivered.

He quickly looked ashamed and said, "Senior Brother Zhao is so complimentary. I would be very grateful if you can reach the Low Grade spiritual root."

"There's no need to be modest. It's great to be able to reach the ninth level within a year."

Zhao Feng shook his head slightly, and then said solemnly: "Have you gone to see the Lu family?"

Wang Ba didn't know why, but he also knew that he couldn't hide it from the other party. He nodded quickly and said hesitantly:

"The Lu family seems not to be doing well now."

Zhao Feng's stern face showed a rare hint of anger:

"I know!"

"Senior Brother Lu is extremely talented, what a person he is! But I didn't expect that his clan members didn't know how to advance or retreat at all. I relied on many connections to ask the elders of the Foreign Affairs Office to let them leave the clan, but they refused!"

Wang Ba suddenly understood after hearing this.

The handyman woman did mention before that it was the superiors who authorized the Lu family to leave the clan, but she didn't expect that it was Zhao Feng who was moving up and down.

It seems that although Lu Yuansheng made a lot of enemies when he was still alive, he also had loyal fans like Zhao Feng. Even after Lu Yuansheng died, he was still willing to help his family because of his old friendship.

To be honest, Wang Ba is quite envious of people like Lu Yuansheng.

When he was alive, he must have been a kind of person who took pleasure in grudges and grudges, and was bold and free-spirited.

He has a super charismatic personality, but it's a pity that he is only one-sided.

"Then... what Senior Brother Zhao means is..."

Wang Ba couldn't figure out what Zhao Feng was thinking and asked carefully.

"Four of the top ten disciples of the outer sect wish they could destroy the Lu family. Now I try my best to save them."

There was no unnecessary expression on Zhao Feng's stern face: "But that's not important. The sect is about to go to war against the 'Fu Kingdom'. Most of the top ten disciples from the outer sect will go to war. The Lu family is safe for the time being."

"It's just that I have a vague feeling that there is something fishy about the death of Senior Brother Lu. It may be related to some people in the sect. I checked all the outer sects and even the servants..."

Wang Ba shrank his head. This matter had nothing to do with him. At most, he only had a little personal relationship with Shopkeeper Lu, and he had no interest in getting into this muddy water.

However, the other party's words solved one of his doubts. It turned out that the five major sects of the Chen State actually wanted to go to war with the neighboring 'Fu State'. No wonder the five major sects had to join forces.

He just didn't know why, but he felt a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird.

Zhao Feng seemed to realize this, shook his head and said: "Well, these have nothing to do with you. Your biggest priority right now is to practice the tenth level of the Strength and Strength Meridian, so that you can enter the outer gate as soon as possible."

After thinking about it, he suddenly said: "Are you still wearing the jade pendant I gave you?"

Wang Ba nodded quickly and took out the simple ring that was placed close to his body from his waist.

Zhao Feng took the jade pendant and suddenly made a gesture with his fingers like sword fingers.

The magic sword behind him immediately moved upon hearing the sound. The next moment, a stream of light flashed on the magic sword, and it immediately fell onto the jade pendant.

After doing this, Zhao Feng seemed a little tired, so he handed the jade pendant back to Wang Ba.

Wang Ba took the jade pendant and saw a sword energy wandering on the jade pendant. After looking at it for a while, his eyes felt a sharp and stinging feeling.

"Senior Brother Zhao, this..."

"The jade pendant contains my sword energy. Although it is not as powerful as my full blow, it still has 30% to 40% power for protection. Normally, those below the seventh level of Qi Refining should not be able to hurt you, but only The power of a single blow can be activated with your thoughts."

Zhao Feng's stern face remained expressionless: "This is my greeting gift to my junior brother."

"This... this is really too precious..."

Wang Ba was moved.

Just now in Xiyuanfang City, an armor talisman worth three levels of Qi Refining was sold for 3 spirit stones. Zhao Feng's sword energy may not be able to be defeated by dozens of spirit stones.

The key is there is nowhere to buy it.

If it were sold in the market, it is estimated that even if it costs a hundred spiritual stones, there will definitely be people willing to pay for it.

This favor is really too heavy!

It was so serious that instead of being happy, Wang Ba became worried.

But before he could refuse, Zhao Feng had already turned away, leaving only one word and then disappeared quietly.

"Don't think too much, Senior Brother Lu treated me the same way in the past."

Wang Ba was stunned when he heard this.
