The mana that fell from the talisman and entered Zhu Jiu's body circulated, effectively strengthening his muscles and flesh.
Zhu Jiu's body began to make strange noises continuously, sometimes like the sound of a piano. This was because the muscles and veins were strong enough to make a buzzing sound.
There is also the roar of the long river, which is the sound of the blood in the body being tempered and full of vitality.
The sound suddenly changed, and there was the faint sound of drums and drums. This was the sound of the heart and other core organs being strengthened and beating happily.
When the many voices coming out of the body gradually become silent, this practice can be considered to have truly come to a successful end.
Zhu Jiu's mana finally stayed at the middle level of the fourth level, but it was much more stable than when ordinary people first broke through, as if they had been in the middle level for a long time.
Physically, it feels like there is endless energy all over the body, and all the senses around the body are several times sharper.
At this time, Zhu Jiuhui looked at the sea of consciousness, and the spiritual diagram in it had stopped evolving, forming a complete miniature earth vein spiritual diagram in the sea of consciousness.
This spiritual map is centered on the Demon Sea Demon City and radiates in all directions. The main location where it manifests is the endless demon sea.
When Zhu Jiu focused his thoughts on the Demonic Sea, the scene on the sea immediately became larger, and the other locations shrank accordingly. It was very magical!
The Demonic Sea is vast and boundless, and the spiritual map only shows an area within more than 10,000 miles of the offshore sea, with more than a dozen small islands densely dotted on it.
Zhu Jiu withdraws his thoughts from the sea of consciousness, adjusts his breath for a moment, and checks the time. Half a month has passed since this practice.
After getting up, he put away the ghost python and opened the door of the practice room. There was a young man in silver robe waiting outside the door.
When the young man saw Zhu Jiu appear, he bowed slightly and said:
"Congratulations on your coming out of seclusion. I have been ordered to wait here and take you to see the chief steward."
Zhu Jiu followed the young man and walked all the way. After ten minutes, he arrived at a hall on the sixth floor of the square tower that was decorated like a daily narrative. The hall inherited the usual wide and high expansion of the buildings in the city, with an area of more than 100 meters and ten
It's more than ten feet high and looks very empty.
There were only two people in the hall at this time. One of them, whom Zhu Jiu knew, was Mu Lian, who had gone to greet him. The other one was sitting high in the main seat, facing middle-aged and slightly chubby. He stood up to greet Zhu Jiu who walked in.
, looked over with sharp eyes, and then said with a smile on his face:
"Master Zhu is really a talented person. It seems that he has made another breakthrough in his practice this time. When Master Zhu came here more than ten days ago, I was discussing things with people and couldn't get away from him. Don't be surprised."
Her speaking voice makes people feel friendly and gentle.
Zhu Jiuxin knew that this slightly fat middle-aged man must be the big manager here, so he didn't hesitate. They exchanged a few polite words and sat down with each other.
The fat-faced middle-aged man smiled and said:
"My name is Gong Changlong. In fact, we are not outsiders. Most of us in the Yuandi Chamber of Commerce are from the Star Mingyue Sect. Hehe, you understand, right?"
When the fat man spoke, he deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "Xingchen" and smiled evilly. Zhu Jiu was stunned for a moment. This guy was quite capable of thinking, and he immediately turned the topic to Su Xingchen.
Zhu Jiu shook his head slightly, but he had to admit that this guy had a unique way of talking, which made it easy to close the distance between the two parties. He was a shrewd and powerful businessman. No wonder he could single-handedly control Abyss's forces in the Demon Sea Monster City.
Zhu Jiu has been working non-stop recently. There has been no news about Su Xingchen in recent months. At this time, he just replied:
"I wonder if Senior Brother Gong knows the recent movements of the stars?"
The fat man quickly looked at the deputy steward Mu Lian beside him, who quickly replied:
"Miss Su's movements are reported to the sect from time to time. A little attention can tell that she was walking in the Northland a few days ago. She is not far from the core sphere of influence of our sect. There is absolutely no risk. I wish you to rest assured.
good."
He continued with a hint of laughter:
"But I heard that wherever Miss Su goes, there are many pursuers. It seems that Mr. Zhu has many competitors."
After speaking, several people looked at each other and smiled, and then turned to the topic. Gong Changlong pondered for a moment and said:
"Actually, it's just a coincidence that Mr. Zhu is here. I reported to the sect a few days ago that I want to second outstanding young disciples to participate in a wave hunting ceremony in Demon Sea Demon City half a month later. It will matter how much Demon Sea can be controlled in the next five years.
The resources produced are therefore a very important matter. Since Mr. Zhu is here, might he wish us a helping hand?"
Zhu Jiu did not agree immediately, but asked back:
"What did Zongnai say?"
This time it was Mu Lian who was responsible for explaining:
"The sect wrote back and said that it was arranging for one of the seven core disciples of your generation to come on the way, but the distance was too far, and there were people who frequently intercepted and killed him in the middle of the road. Although he failed to succeed, it greatly delayed the time.
, it seems that we may not be able to arrive in time. If Mr. Zhu agrees to participate in this wave hunting, we can let the people who come over not have to worry, and take this opportunity to set up a trap to see who takes advantage of the leopard's guts and dares to intercept and kill him.
I am the core disciple of Abyss."
When Zhu Jiu heard this, his eyes changed, and he suddenly smiled sinisterly and said:
"Since the people from our sect were attacked on the way, if we didn't respond, wouldn't we be looked down upon by others hiding in the dark?"
Gong Changlong's eyes brightened slightly and he asked:
"I wonder if Mr. Zhu has any good suggestions? We were also preparing to make arrangements to hunt down this person who used secret methods. The people who dare to intercept and kill our disciples must be from several other chambers of commerce, but the forces behind these chambers of commerce are all
It's not bad, but no better than ordinary, so we can't list all the suspicious companies as targets for revenge, so it's still a bit unclear how to start."
Zhu Jiu chuckled and shook his head:
"My purpose is to make these chambers of commerce nervous, so that we alone will not suffer losses. At this time, there is only less than half a month before the hunting begins, and important figures from the major chambers of commerce must have arrived. I will attack tonight.
Kill a few of them, whoever comes first will be unlucky."
After hearing this, Gong Changlong laughed gloomily. This gloomy smile appeared on his fat face with a kind appearance, but there was a hint of extra ferociousness. The fat guy smiled and said in a seductive voice:
"Although Master Zhu's proposal is a good one, it is extremely dangerous. The people who came here to participate in the tide hunting are all young masters who are extremely powerful. Almost all of them have the same strength as Master Zhu, and if they are discovered, they will be our targets.
It’s a lot of trouble for my hands!”
Zhu Jiu nodded lightly, then fell silent for a while, as if he had thought about it carefully, and asked again later:
"What are the backgrounds of the nine major chambers of commerce participating in Tide Hunting? Is there anything special we need to pay attention to?"
Gong Changlong is not at all disgusted with Zhu Jiu's caution, but rather appreciates it. Only by being cautious in advance and acting like a thunderbolt when truly acting can a true hero be able to stand above the crowd for a long time, so he patiently explained
road:
"The reason why we are ranked seventh among the nine major chambers of commerce instead of higher is for two reasons. One is that this place is really far away from our sect's core sphere of influence, and the other is that teleportation arrays are used to continuously teleport back along the way.
It will take more than a month at least, so many things are not convenient enough and a lot of opportunities are delayed. Secondly, the time when we squeezed into these nine major chambers of commerce is much later than the other several, so the accumulation is slightly insufficient."
Zhu Jiu listened to Gong Changlong's opening remarks. He hadn't explained his problem yet and was not in a hurry. Instead, he listened carefully and signaled to continue. This time it was Mu Lian who said:
"Because this city is adjacent to the Demonic Sea, it is rich in resources. Most of the forces in the known world have branches here. Many forces compete with each other. Only the top nine can finally occupy the core position in the city.
Qualification for permanent residence.”
When Mu Lian said this, he spoke faster and his eyes were slightly excited, saying:
"Whenever something good comes out of the Demonic Sea, these nine companies will get the lion's share first, so every wave hunting competition related to the ranking of the chamber of commerce is extremely fierce, and our goal this time is to enter the top five. Don't think that we are ranked now
Seven, the goal of the top five does not seem difficult. In fact, these nine chambers of commerce are not simple. They all have extremely powerful giant sects behind them to support them, and even..."
Having said this, he looked at Gong Changlong, as if he didn't know whether it was appropriate to say something. However, Gong Changlong did not hesitate and nodded firmly, indicating to Mu Lianyen that it was okay to say it.
