Since you accept someone else's spiritual stone, you have to do things for them.

Zhang Lie warmed the jade and incense in the Xuanzang cave every night, and practiced swordplay every day. He could wait, but Xu Jincheng gradually couldn't wait any longer.

If he can defeat Xu Jinyun and take control of the Xu family, then supporting a swordsman is still worth it. But if he cannot take control of the Xu family and support Zhang Lie, Xu Jincheng will have to provide most of the resources himself. Of course, there is pressure.

huge.

One day half a year later, the proprietor Xu Jincheng and the steward Yang Shanyue came to visit together.

Zhang Lie happened to not be meditating, so he naturally invited the two of them into the cave for a banquet.

It was just right, but in fact Zhang Lie knew very well that there must be two spies among the servants in Dongfu.

During the banquet, Xu Jincheng was quite happy at first, but after three rounds of drinking, he gradually showed a troubled expression.

"What's going on, proprietor?" Yang Shanyue asked at the right time.

“I don’t know how many more days there will be until I have a feast with you all and enjoy the joy like this, so I feel sad.”

When the performance reached an emotional point, Xu Jincheng and Yang Shanyue hugged each other and cried. Zhang Lie and Qin Suxin, who were sitting upright in the main seats, felt very embarrassed.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, don't be so sad. There is something Shi can do to help, but it doesn't matter." After all, Zhang Lie still had integrity and did not let Xu Jincheng and Yang Shanyue hug each other and cry for too long.

"We, Lanzhifang, are a border city. The holy religion has become increasingly weak in recent years, so this place is mainly run by several of our families. The position of the owner of Lanzhifang depends on which family has gained the most from the beast tide.

, only then can you obtain the position of head of the workshop."

Not only the Lanzhi Mountain area, but in fact all the sects close to the Southern Wilderness will face the siege of monsters.

Compared with human monks who find it difficult to give birth, monster beasts give birth to one or even several litters a year. As their numbers increase, they reproduce very quickly.

Under such circumstances, every hundred years, the number of monster beasts in the Southern Wilderness will increase greatly. Once the number of monster beasts increases, the basic resources of the Southern Wilderness will not be enough. In order to alleviate this pressure, we have already possessed great wisdom.

The high-level monsters will drive away the low-level monsters, invade the immortal cultivating sects in the southern wilderness, and curb the development of mankind.

Of course, the Xuanyue Sect is a powerful sect with Yuanying-level monks. Coupled with the sect's sect leader's majestic power, the Xuanyue Sect has signed a peace contract with the nearby sixth-order demon king.

Do not invest in the combat power of the golden elixir stage.

"With the power of the Holy Cult, not to mention the fifth-level monsters, even the fourth-level monsters have not been seen for hundreds of years. There are hundreds of sects in the Southern Wilderness. Even if those monsters invade, there is no need to come and eat my mysterious beasts.

The Yue Jiao is a strong person, so as long as my husband is willing to help me, Jincheng will definitely be able to win the position of the head of the family, and by then I will definitely not forget my husband's kindness."

Six hundred years ago, Xie Meiniang, the leader of Xuan Yue, used the magic power of the Taiyin Jade Book to defeat fourteen demon kings in the world in a row, displaying fierce power.

Monsters have a long lifespan, and many monster kings still feel chills in their bones when they think of Xie Meiniang's lunar extermination method, and dare not attack easily.

Therefore, among the hundreds of sects in the Southern Wilderness, the Xuanyue Sect, which is the strongest and most powerful, is actually the one with the least pressure among the beast tides in the Southern Wilderness. Most of what Xu Jincheng said is true.

"In this case, the road ahead is long, so I will join hands with you and walk side by side." During this period, Zhang Lie had already investigated and found that the time when the beast tide started in the Southern Wilderness was different in each region.

Zhangjiawu Fort launched its attack later but with higher intensity. Instead of rushing back in a hurry, he might as well prepare more spiritual objects and supplies here to rescue emergency areas.

After getting a satisfactory answer here in Xuanzang Mountain, Xu Jincheng and Yang Shanyue drove away in the light with satisfaction.

That night, Zhang Lie was holding the Poison Blood Sword and performing the Seven Evils Sword Technique. Among the flying sword lights, there were five five-color flying swords circling vertically and horizontally, moving at will.

Although the five five-element flying swords of Jinghong, Yimu, Shuiyun, Huode and Xuanhun are only third-order low-grade, under the control and blessing of their own Hunyuan five-element qi, the five elements change and overcome each other, and the sword power is superimposed on each other.

, it can stimulate a sword power that is not inferior to that of a third-level mid-grade flying sword. Coupled with the bonuses of Zhang Lie's "Shangdan Chongmai Chapter" and "Sword Qi Rulu" skills practiced by Zhang Lie, the power will be further improved.

What's even more frightening is that most magic weapons in the world are of the five elements. When these five swords are facing each other, Zhang Lie can almost restrain his moves and crack them with every move.

Therefore, although it is a third-level low-grade flying sword, it is the one Zhang Lie uses most and is the most comfortable.

"It's a pity that after the Jinhong Valley Incident, Senior Brother Fang Ang was trapped in the Netherworld, and I'm afraid he will never see us again. Although Senior Brother Fang Ang told me how to improve the sword, I am not sure in my heart.

There is no trustworthy swordsmith who can be trusted."

With Zhang Lie's current financial resources, it is certainly not difficult to purchase five third-order mid-grade five-element flying swords. However, the five five-element flying swords of Jinghong, Yimu, Shuiyun, Huode, and Xuanhun have been specially designed to compete with Zhang Lie's.

The own spiritual consciousness and mana perfectly match each other. If it is replaced by Wukou third-order mid-grade five-element flying sword, it is difficult to say whether the actual combat effect will be improved or reduced.

At this moment, Zhang Lie, who was walking with the sword, suddenly turned around, and the Five Elements Flying Sword quickly flew into his robes. Only the poisonous blood sword was still in his hand.

What he saw when he turned around was Qin Suxin, carefully holding a porcelain bowl and walking into the silent practice room.

"Husband, you should drink some soup after practicing your sword practice."

"..."

Zhang Lie stepped forward, took the porcelain bowl, opened it, and saw white smoke rising from inside. It was half a stewed black-bone chicken.

The bones are broken and the meat is rotten, and the soup is even watery.

"Well, it tastes good. But don't enter my practice room in the future. Let Huan'er find a servant tomorrow to build a stone gate here."

Picking up the bowl, he raised his head and swallowed a mouthful. However, Zhang Lie said this afterward.

After all, high-level stone mansion talismans are expedient talismans for building temporary residences. It is impossible to design too finely in many places, especially after more people move in.

"yes."

Qin Suxin bowed and nodded in agreement, but Zhang Lie, who was much taller than her, could clearly see the girl's slightly pale face and her hard-bitten lips.

From Qin Suxin's perspective, her husband's request was just to guard against herself.

But for Zhang Lie, there is no way around this. He has too many secrets. Even if he believes in Qin Suxin, the other party's mental cultivation is too weak to keep the secrets. What's more, he doesn't really believe it.

she.

"Why are you still crying? The place where monks practice is extremely private. You are so petty." He walked forward with a slight smile, tasting the salty tears until Qin Suxin's face turned red and her tears turned into laughter.
