Gu Zuo returned to Gengjin Mountain, came to Shangyunping, plunged into his hut, sat alone for half an hour, and simply took out the spirit stones to practice. It has been almost a year since he broke through to the late stage of Qi refining in Xunzhou

, he has never had time to calm down and practice properly, and he almost always absorbs spiritual stones in the midst of various busy affairs.

The state of cultivation and the thickness of true energy are the foundation of cultivation. He also knows this deeply, so he forces himself to develop a good habit of adjusting his mentality anytime and anywhere.

Over the past year, he has absorbed more than thirty spiritual stones scattered here and there, which is said to be a lot. However, if the total amount needed to break through to the later stage is compared, his cultivation progress has only reached 10%. If things go on like this, I am afraid that

Doesn’t it take ten years to advance to perfection?

Gu Zuo also secretly made up his mind that after this matter is over, he will practice hard for three to five months and make up for the missed lessons.

But a piece of spiritual stone had just absorbed half of it, which was almost a day's work. Gu Zuo had no choice but to call it a day. The butcher finished his training and was waiting for him outside the hut.

After going out, the butcher looked at his expression and asked, "Is the trip going poorly for the owner?"

Gu Zuodao: "It went very smoothly. The Spiritual Beast Department and the Laoshan Sect successfully signed the contract. We got the agreed benefits, and they were even more than before."

"Then why is the owner so unhappy?"

"Indeed, you should be happy...but, I don't know...I can't say..."

The butcher smiled and said: "You guys, when you open a window and see the scene outside, you want to crawl out. I was like this back then, how about it? I was so devastated. The owner of the hotel also wants to make the same mistake again?"

Gu Zuo smiled to himself: "That makes sense. I drank this bowl of chicken soup." He then said, "I don't have the ability to ask about brother's stories, but you always enlighten me with them, which makes me very curious."

The butcher said: "Now that I have reached the stage where I have become a great elder, I can only rely on my past insights to show off."

Gu Zuo took out a handful of spiritual stones and threw them over: "The last one has been used up. Now, hurry up and repair your Qi Sea, otherwise our owner will never be done with you!"

The butcher took it and said: "The effect is very good, it's fast. What's the matter, this time when you go back to Wanshou Mountain, you are looked down upon by others?"

Sighing, Gu Zuo shook his head: "No, the Spirit Beast Department is very polite to me. The Laoshan Sect treats me as if I don't exist, and I have never suffered any humiliation. But you didn't see that scene. A group of Nascent Souls and Golden Cores were surrounding me.

In the middle, a group of foundation builders could only stand and laugh with each other. The Qi practitioners couldn't join in, so they could only serve tea and water. Alas... When will the Huaixian Pavilion be able to be like this?

I just hope you can recover quickly, brother. Only with a great elder who has perfected your foundation can I, as the owner of the gym, have some peace of mind."

The butcher thought for a while and said: "In the past few days since you left, I have signed a few more orders for several drug stores in the county. There are a total of 400 sperm-preserving pills and 120 pills. Jiu Gu now has one batch.

We can produce six pills, but we can only open one batch per day, and we still can’t keep up with the sales volume.”

Gu Zuodao: "That's good, but you can't squeeze him too hard. As an elder, you should pay more attention to your disciples."

"It seems the owner is the one who exploits Jiu Gu, right? She is your disciple, why do you need me to care about her?"

"I am training her. If young people don't suffer some hardships, how will they grow up in the future?"

"Okay, you are the gym leader, whatever you say makes sense. I have thought about it carefully in the past two days, and the gym is now on the right track. I plan to retreat for a month and repair the Qi Sea quickly. Gym leader, you can also do the same.

A batch of essence-preserving pills came out. When I recover my cultivation level, I can take over the refining of the elixir. At that time, the owner of the hall can retreat and improve his cultivation level. The leader of Huaixian Hall cannot be still there under any circumstances.

During the Qi refining period, you are the biggest source of confidence and protection for us people."

"Why is it Baojing Pills again? Are they selling so well? What about Wuwei Dihuang Pills? They can't be sold?"

"Master, what I'm talking about is cultivation. Don't always dwell on these little things. Cultivation is the foundation."

"I know, wait for me to try and see if there is a chance to make another order. When it is done, I will retreat and practice hard."

"Make another order? What do you mean?"

So Gu Zuo paraphrased the words of Fang Qinghe, a Taoist priest of the Laoshan School, and said: "This Fang Qinghe is not a good person, he is bad and bad. However, we cannot judge right and wrong based on his character. We have to discuss everything based on facts. The news he gave is still

It can be considered.”

The butcher laughed when he heard it: "As the owner said, this Taoist priest has very bad intentions. The Tianmen sect is in Mount Tai, and like the Laoshan sect, they are among the top thirty sects in the world. Two sects are in Henan.

The Taoist cultivation world is notorious for not being easy to deal with, and Fang wanted to instigate the master of the hall to harm the Tianmen sect."

Gu Zuodao: "I guess that's what happened. Sure enough... tell me, do we have any hope of making another fortune?"

The butcher asked: "The owner has already offended the Laoshan sect, is he really not afraid of adding another Tianmen sect?"

Gu Zuodao: "We are looking for collaborators according to the rules. Will they go to Gengjin Mountain to destroy the family without following the rules? I have never heard of any sect that dares to do this. Thank you to the Taoist priests of Chongxuan Department for having them

This is the only way for small sects like us to survive."

The butcher said: "It won't be a big deal to wipe out the whole family, but we can't stand it when people stare at us and embarrass us. Besides, owner, don't think that everyone really follows the rules. As long as we make too much money and make others anxious, God

There are so many assassins down there, is it difficult to find them?"

Gu Zuo was horrified: "This is what Lao Cheng said. You should be taught. Just after a few days of peace, I almost forgot that there are knives in the world."

After a long conversation, Gu Zuo decided to accept the butcher's suggestion and refine his internal strength steadily. The butcher repaired his Qi sea at a rate of two spiritual stones a day, while Ding Jiugu was still refining the spiritual elixir with disheveled hair. Gu Zuo saw

She was really working hard, so she gave her ten spiritual stones and asked her to practice hard, while he took over the work of refining the alchemy.

The butcher did pay some attention to Aunt Ding Jiu, and his words of comfort and encouragement to the only disciple of the Huaixian Pavilion were simple: "Aunt Jiu, you can go to any sect in the world and ask around to see which one gives disciples spiritual stones worth ten

I’ll give you ten yuan, if you have any, I’ll kowtow to you!”

As a result, Ding Jiugu became more and more grateful, and she practiced even harder.

Gu Zuo made alchemy for seven consecutive days and completed more than 180 essence-preserving pills. Then he came out of the alchemy room. Not long after he came out, he saw the butcher waiting at the door.

"Isn't your brother in seclusion? Why do I see you every time I go out?"

The butcher said helplessly: "There is no way, Jiu Gu is also practicing, so I have to come forward to receive her."

"Reception? Who to receive?"

"The Star Division you mentioned last time has arrived."

The Shenxing Division is one of the eight tribes of Heishan, and it is also a local snake in Heishan who is preparing to cooperate with the Tianmen Sect to bid for the spirit stone veins. It is like the Spiritual Beast Division to the Laoshan Sect. Seven days ago, Gu Zuo and Butcher decided not to mix with them after discussing it.

Cooperating with the Tianmen Sect, I didn’t expect that after I gave up, others would come to visit me.

In the Yinzu Hall of Xiashanping, Gu Zuo is sitting in the main seat, flanked by the great elder butcher. There is only one guest, but the weight is very heavy. It is one of the elders of Shenxing, Chen Mazi, a member of the Heishan Imperial Law Department.

He is an authentic late Jindan high cultivator.

Chen Mazi was not polite and said directly: "I often hear Brother Zhong mentioning Gu Gu Gu, but unfortunately Gu Gu doesn't step into the threshold of our law department and has never seen him. Chen is not talented, so he had to take the initiative to come."

Gu Zuo was immediately startled and quickly bowed: "It's Gu's fault, I apologize to Chen Canjun."

Chen Mazi stretched out his hand to help him: "It doesn't matter. I've searched all over Heishan. Everyone knows that Chen is a rough man and doesn't like to mince words. I'll just say it straight today. That day, I met Taoist Fang of the Laoshan sect. He and Chen

Someone said that Huaixian Pavilion also wanted to participate in the bid for the spirit mine, and even became the second partner of the spirit beast department at one time. Is this true or not?"

Gu Zuo hesitated to explain a few words, but was interrupted by Chen Mazi: "Gu Gu Zuo asked, is there such a thing?"

Gu Zuo could only answer bravely: "Yes, it's just that Huaixian Pavilion is not in the eyes of the Spiritual Beast Department..."

Chen Mazi interrupted him again: "Our Ginseng and Astrology Department hopes that Gu Gu can also be our second collaborator. Is that okay?"
