When Xu was approaching, Yan Ruojuan said goodbye and left. Guo Yufei took a bath and changed clothes, and returned to his spacious stone room. Dinner was ready.

Braised duck feet, stir-fried cabbage, stewed meat with dried bamboo shoots, spicy rabbit legs, and a pot of ginseng chicken soup. Four dishes and one soup are not luxurious, but it is not easy to eat in this remote valley.

After half a month of training, Guo Yufei has become good at standing and sitting. Now he is sitting at the table, holding a bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand. Although he is hungry, he still eats in a leisurely and orderly manner.

Suddenly, the bell rang again. The stone door opened and Elder Ma walked in. He held a red lacquered wooden box in his right hand with a smile on his face.

"You two go down first." Guo Yufei said.

The two maids bowed and left.

Elder Ma sat opposite Guo Yufei, put down the wooden box, laughed, and said, "Are these side dishes delicious?"

Guo Yufei was delighted: "Resistance is indeed useful."

Since the other party is willing to give face, I can't help but smile and say: "Thanks to the elder's care, I like these meals very much."

"Well... that's good." Elder Ma took out a wine pot and two wine cups from the wooden box, and poured wine for Guo Yufei himself. He also said: "Try it, this is Huzhou's famous product - 'Hero's Drunk', it's very special

mellow."

Guo Yufei didn't like drinking, but he couldn't refuse, so he had a drink with Elder Ma.

Elder Ma poured another cup and suddenly gave a thumbs up: "To tell you the truth, my little brother is very courageous, and I admire him very much, but suddenly I feel that I regret meeting each other so late. How about... how about we become sworn brothers?"

Guo Yufei hurriedly said: "This... boy how dare you climb so high?"

"Hey! What's so high and low? Come on, let's sworn sworn friends now! Your heart is the most important thing, and you won't have to worry about trivial matters!" Elder Ma said, dragging Guo Yufei to his feet.

The two gathered earth to make incense, bowed eight times to the east, and became brothers with different surnames.

"Hahaha! Okay! Brother Guo Xian, from now on we are brothers. We still need to cooperate sincerely to help each other in difficult times!"

"Ah... I have to rely on my elder brother to make the decision."

"Don't worry! Don't worry, as long as you do as I say, the benefits will be yours." He then took out three palm-sized brocade boxes from the wooden box and opened them one by one.

Guo Yufei smelled the smell and said in surprise: "This is... Baicao Blood Spirit Pill?"

Elder Ma shook his head and said sternly: "My dear brother, you are joking. I am talking about low-level stuff like the 'Baicao Blood Spirit Pill'. Brother, how can I have the nerve to take it out? These are two 'Thousand Grass Blood Spirit Pills'!"

When Guo Yufei heard "Qiancao Blood Spirit Pill", his heart jumped wildly and his eyes lit up. "Thousand Grass Blood Spirit Pill" can only be sold in a few large drug stores in the main city of Binzhou, and one pill costs sixty or seventy taels of silver.

.

Seeing that the other party liked it, Elder Ma stroked his beard and said, "Brother, these two elixirs are nothing unusual. Come and look at this one." He raised his hand towards the third brocade box.

Guo Yufei saw a round wooden tray in the third brocade box. There was a purple pill in the wooden tray, which was only about the size of a soybean. Miraculously, the pill shone with a faint purple light, and even had purple light flowing around it.

Elder Ma said: "This elixir is Jiangzhu Island's famous product - 'Purple Qi Foundation Building Pill'. Brother, I have been busy for half a month and finally mixed it into a pill and brought it to you."

Guo Yufei stared at the little pill intently: "Brother, I don't know how much cultivation can be increased after taking this pill."

Elder Ma waved his hand: "I don't know what I know. This 'Purple Qi Foundation Establishment Pill' cannot directly increase your cultivation level, but it can sort out your veins and strengthen your muscles and bones. After taking it, whether you take tonics or practice secrets

, there will be additional improvements.”

"That's it!" Guo Yufei was overjoyed.

Elder Ma also said with joy on his face: "Brother, I know that my brother's cultivation is not yet superb. The most important thing now is to improve his cultivation. Brother, I am anxious for my brother's needs. I need my brother's help."

need."

Guo Yufei hurriedly stood up, fell to the ground, and said with great joy: "Thank you, brother!" But he said in his heart: "Hmph, you were obviously afraid that my disguise as the second son would be exposed, so you gave me the pill, but you said it as if you were thinking of me wholeheartedly.

of."

Elder Ma stood up and returned the salute, smiled and said: "Brother, you don't have to be polite, you don't have to be polite!" But he said in his heart: "This guy is so obsessed with improving his cultivation, he obviously has other agendas, I can't help but guard against it."

After the two saluted, they sat down again and were speechless for a while. When their eyes met, they laughed at the same time.

"Hahaha……"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The two of them were smiling happily, but they were both cursing each other in their hearts——

Guo Yufei said in his heart: "You old bastard, wait until my cultivation level improves. Go to the plug-in hall and learn a few skills. I'll beat you to the point where you call me daddy!"

Elder Ma said in his heart: "You little bastard, stop your wishful thinking. Even if you take a hundred or a thousand Qiancao Spirit Blood Pills, I can kill you within three moves!"

"Hahahahaha..."

"Hahahahahaha..."

The two of them laughed for an unknown amount of time, until the atmosphere became too awkward and they stopped at the same time.

Elder Ma suddenly straightened his face, stared at Guo Yufei and said, "Brother, I have something I want to hear from my dear brother."

"The younger brother has little knowledge, and the opinions he expressed may have tainted the elder brother's ears. However, since the elder brother has given orders, the younger brother should obey."

I just heard Elder Ma say: "Brother, in your opinion, is it possible for us to return to Jiangzhu Island?"

"This... the eldest brother has incredible skills, and he has the help of the two elders Qi and Huang. The younger brother believes that he will be able to return to the island in a short time!"

Unexpectedly, Elder Ma shook his head: "We can't go back, we can't go back.

Since the uprising failed, I have been considering how many chances we have. To this day, I am sure that it is impossible for us to fight back."

He continued to explain: "Today, we have less than 300 people, of which less than 20 are experts at the Lanxia level or above. There should be more than 400 people on the island. There are nearly 40 experts at the Lanxia level or above.

Even if we share the same hatred and risk our lives to fight, the chance of winning is less than 40%. Moreover, we now bear the name of rebels on Jiangzhu Island and are ostracized by various sects. We can only sit in this deep valley and live in vain.

As for the Jiangzhu Sect, they have a steady stream of treasures and spiritual plants all over the island. If they have money, they can recruit troops and improve their strength. The gap between the two sides will only get wider and wider! The longer time goes by, the more disadvantageous it will be to us."

After hearing this, Guo Yufei was deeply convinced and nodded frequently.

Elder Ma added: "In my opinion, what should we do?"

"This... maybe we should attack back to the island immediately while the gap is still small?"

"Then if you go there, you will have a narrow escape from death. It's very dangerous."

Guo Yufei said: "I really don't have any ideas, but my elder brother must have a clever plan, so I'd better tell him quickly!"

Elder Ma said unhurriedly: "The original intention of human beings to create gangs was to fight monsters, but now the monsters in the East have been killed in pieces and are hiding in Tibet. They can no longer make much trouble.

But there are more and more fights between sects. Why is this? In my opinion, it’s just about the word ‘money’.

With money, you can have as many servants, beauties, and houses as you want. With money, you have to be superior to others, to have face and dignity, and to have power and influence.

Why do we need to learn martial arts and practice magic? Isn’t it just to protect our own money? Therefore, we are here to make money, and whether we return to Jiangzhu Island or not is not a big deal.

Although your old brother and I are not good at it, I have been around Jiangzhu Island for many years and know a lot of ways to refine elixirs. It is not difficult to make money. It's just that... the name of a 'rebel' doesn't sound good.

It is also not easy to associate with other sects.
