The sky is full of morning glow in Yutiao Mountain City, the red sun is rising, and the earth is waking up. A group of spotted finches are clustered on the branches outside the Great Elder's Cave Mansion, singing happily.
In the luxurious bedroom deep in the cave, there was another stormy night. After the storm stopped, the two people hugged each other and slept until three o'clock in the morning, when the birds dispersed.
"Hey, dead man, get up, get up, the Great Elder's cave is surrounded by people!" Gui Xiaoxiao, dressed in pink, stood beside the bed and shouted loudly.
"Hey, Xiao Xiao, what are you doing up so early? Come on, sit here and spank with your boss!" Tianjiu yawned, got up and sat on the jade bed, humming lazily.
"Hehe, is that right? Spanking? How about we practice double cultivation again? As long as you are not afraid of those guys outside destroying your comfort zone!" Gui Xiaoxiao said with evil intentions, trying to get into the brocade quilt.
"Wait! Wait! Who do you think is surrounding this place?" Tianjiu asked in a low voice.
"Who else is there? Your Eastern Expedition Army is here. I was just about to go out when I realized that there were hundreds of people standing outside the cave. They were all big guys with Jindan or above. Oh, I seem to have sensed Yuanying Lao
The breath of ancestors exists."
"Ah?! It's all you, mother-in-law, who spent most of the night, causing me to oversleep..."
"Giggle, giggle! I'll kill you and continue tonight... Master, just stay by yourself, Boss Xiao is going to see if there is any food of his own!"
Gui Xiaoxiao smiled delicately, a gust of fragrant wind drifted by, and Tianjiu's face was nibbled by the beauty. Then, her eyes flashed, and the beauty flashed out.

In the cave hall, Tianjiu found a recliner, still dressed in the same bag-scratching attire. Wearing sunglasses and silver boots, holding meat in his left hand and a pot in his right hand, he lay on the chair and ate delicious food.
The magic circle at the door of the cave swayed slightly, and a masked old man flew in. The old man had an extraordinary pressure, and he was vaguely at the level of an ancestor.
"Great Elder, we meet again. Seeing how radiant you are, you must have been a beautiful woman last night, right?!"
"Eh? Are you...?" Tianjiu stopped eating the delicious food, glanced at the person coming, and frowned slightly: "In this bright world, I'm not recruiting people to rob, so why are you covering your face?"
"Haha, Great Elder, we are in love with each other! Junior brother was shot and came here to seek refuge with the Great Elder!" The old man tore off the scarf from his face and whispered.
"Ancestor of Zhongpo?!" Tianjiu sat up in shock and glanced at the other party again. Yes, in the early stage of Nascent Soul, it was the old man who was kneeling on the ground yesterday.
"Don't be surprised, Great Elder. Although Zhongpo is the Supreme Elder of the Golden Jiao Society, you also know that the Jinjiao Society is an underground organization after all and cannot be seen in the light. After I return, I will think about it again and again, and I must have someone to rely on..." Zhongpo
The ancestor wanted to speak but stopped.
"Oh, I understand. You want to lead your Golden Dragon Society to defect to me. On the one hand, you can clear your name, and on the other hand, you can get the support of Tiancheng Pavilion, right?"
"That's right! That's exactly what I mean. The Great Elder said that once he becomes famous, he will definitely be able to give the Golden Jiao Society a place to stay." The ancestor of Zhongpo nodded repeatedly.
"Yesterday, I blew up three of your Jindan disciples to death. Don't you bear your grudge against me?"
The ancestor of Zhongpo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "What did the great elder say? It is said that if one's skills are not as good as others, death would not be a pity. Those disciples have no one to blame. Besides, if you hadn't come out in time to rescue the siege yesterday, you wouldn't have been able to tell us.
No one can get out, and it's not something that the great monk Tai Rong can do to repair us."
"Well, that makes sense. Ancestor Zhongpo, you, the Golden Dragon Society, are aware of current affairs and can seize opportunities. But it's a bit difficult. There are so many of you. I guess my crystal bag is not enough..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! As long as the Great Elder is willing to accept it, not only do you not need to give crystal stones, but I can also hand over one million of the best crystal stones!"
"One million of the best?!" Tianjiu swallowed hard.
"Yes, it is one million. It can only be regarded as the protection fee paid by our Golden Dragon Society. All the disciples of our Golden Dragon Society in Yuling, as well as two thousand foundations, fifteen golden elixirs and one ancestor,
I will serve you for free." Ancestor Zhongpo said with utmost sincerity. After saying that, he took out a storage ring and handed it to Tianjiu.
"Okay, I'll take it. Quack, quack, one million. I can't see that you are still a country bumpkin! Tell me, your specific conditions?" Tianjiu accepted the storage ring without hesitation, and then asked.
"The great elder is so refreshing and the old man admires it. There are two conditions: first, within ten years, the underground trading market of Yutiao Mountain City will be fully managed by the Jinjiao Society; second, there will be a place with better spiritual energy near Yucheng in Dongling Mountain.
A small mountain peak, even if it is three to five miles away, can be handed over to the old Jin Jiaohui as a place for our cultivation."
"This...? The taste is a bit big. The ten-year trading rights are okay, but the territory is a bit tricky!" Tianjiu snorted.
Zhong Po's face changed, and he gritted his teeth again and said: "In this way, if the Great Elder fulfills his wish, our Golden Dragon Society can be merged into Tiancheng Pavilion as a branch. Tiancheng Pavilion will have 20% of the Golden Dragon Society's share, and all members of our Golden Dragon Society will be at your disposal.
Sent by Boss Xiao."
"Hey, hey, it's a deal. Since you're so sincere, I'll do it for you. But having said that, I can give you the mountain top, but I can't stand on the mountain top myself, otherwise I will turn my back on you.
"Great Elder, put it down, junior brother will never cause you any trouble." Zhongpo Ancestor was overjoyed.
"Well, very good, you go ahead. You can discuss the specific matters with Boss Xiao. I don't ask for much, that is, when we go to Dongling, all your disciples must be in place. After you earn crystal stones, you will always have them when you come back.
"
"Yes, yes! Say goodbye, old man!"
After Zhong Po finished speaking, he wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute, don't you want to cover your face?" Tianjiu Thief said with a smile.
"Oh, yes, yes! If Ancestor Tai Rong finds out about this old man, it will be too much for him! Thank you, Great Elder, for reminding me!" Zhong Po happily covered his head with a scarf and walked out of the house.

Next, one after another monks rushed into Tianjiu's cave, and their lowest cultivation level was above the middle stage of Jindan.
The interview went very smoothly. The salary and tasks, as well as the possible positions were slightly clarified. Identity jade tags were issued, and they gathered at the designated place to be ready. In less than three to five hours, Tianjiu had collected more than a hundred Jindan level people.
The old monster. Outside the gate of the cave gradually became sparse. Only a few monks flew in from time to time. Everyone who arrived queued up and waited in a very sensible manner.
"Great Elder, I heard that you want to recruit high-level monks?" A slightly uneasy voice entered Tianjiu's consciousness.
Tianjiu closed his eyes and didn't look at anyone. He sensed it a little and hummed: "Well, that's good. You actually have Nascent Soul cultivation. You are the second ancestor to come for an interview today. I accept
People, both men and women, the higher the level of cultivation, the better! Just sit back and answer!"
The visitor was dressed in a black robe, and his whole body was tightly wrapped except for his eyes. A flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he carefully sat on a chair in the center of the hall.
"Excuse me, brother, there is a rumor outside that you defeated the Supreme Patriarch of Xilingmen?" the masked man in black robe asked softly.
"Yes, I am one step ahead of him, but this has nothing to do with whether you should be drafted or not, right?"
"Hey, it does matter, it matters a lot. You know, it's easy to enjoy the shade under a big tree. If it wasn't a big tree, I wouldn't come."
"Oh? What do you mean? I'm recruiting people to fight. I'm not asking for help, and I'm not asking for anyone's protection. Looking at your thief appearance, you can't be a heinous person, right?" Tianjiu snorted coldly.
"No, no, no! The great elder is joking. I am a loyal man, how can I be a heinous person? Brother, don't worry, as long as you accept me, if you point to the east, I will never go west. If you want me to kill the chicken, I will not
Go chase rabbits..."
"Wait, wait! What I want to recruit is to kill people, not to kill chickens and rabbits. Old man, you'd better take off your face towel first and let me take a look, otherwise, I really can't trust you!" Tianjiu opened his mouth
His eyes looked at the person coming with a little curiosity.
"Great Elder, I'm a bad old man. His appearance is really not that good. Do you think it's okay to look at it?"
"No need to talk! Even if the great power of transformation comes, I have to take off the hijab and mask today, otherwise, get out!" Tianjiu waved his hand and shouted without hesitation.
The masked ancestor hesitated for a hundred breaths, and finally shook his head, sighing: "It's better to forget it, I'm resigning!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Uh? Wait!" Tianjiu frowned, weird, weird!!
The masked old man paused, turned his head, and said coldly: "Since brothers insist on seeing my appearance, I won't participate. Are you still planning to force me to keep you?"
At this moment, colorful vortexes flew up in Tianjiu's eyes, breaking through the many concealment formations on the old man's mask, and finally saw the person clearly.
"Kou Le?!" Tian Jiu screamed in his heart, swallowing the shout that reached his lips. This round-faced old man was not the father that Kou Yan was looking for, the one who was sent by Yuling's three gates.
There is a wanted order for Yuling, and Kou Lemo is regarded as rebellious by Donglingmen.
"Old man, you are admitted! Report to Chengyufang tomorrow."
"Ah? You don't see my old man's appearance anymore?" Kou Le was obviously stunned, and the corner of his mouth trembled for a long time.
"Tch! What's so good about a bad old man? If you were a young female nun, I would definitely not let you go. Okay, tell me, do you have any specific requirements?"
"Brother, it's easy to say, thank you very much. I only have two requests: first, don't ask about my origins or where I'm going. When I return to Dongling, I want a separate cave."
"Okay, it's up to you. If your contribution is great, I can also allocate a mountain to you. You can go wherever you like cats, and no one will look at you anymore, hehe!" Tianjiu said with a smile.
"Second, I require a crystal salary of 5,000 top-quality crystals per month. There is no need to talk about one less crystal."
Tianjiu jumped up and said, "Hey, old man, are you so ruthless? The most they can offer is three hundred, but you want five thousand. The robbery is not as ruthless as yours, right?!"
"Hey, brother..."
"Call me Great Elder, who is your brother?!" Tianjiu said angrily.
"Yes, Great Elder! I am not alone. Under my command, there is a black-clothed army with about two to three thousand people. There are also about ten golden elixirs, and the lowest is foundation building. Hey hey hey, do you still think that five thousand is too much?
