Since his thoughts were clear and he was in a happy mood, Zhao Shoushou would not easily give up such a great opportunity to practice. Not only did he not come out of seclusion, but he entered a deeper level of practice after taking care of himself.
This is the time when the first-grade high-quality Qi-Building Pill, also obtained from the spiritual veins of Siming Mountain, comes into play. Every time a spiritual pill is refined, the mana in the Dantian fills up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhao Shoushou was obsessed with this feeling of rapid improvement of his cultivation level as never before, and hoped to raise his cultivation level to the tenth level of Qi training as soon as possible, so as to reach the level of foundation building.
The sun rises and the moon sets, day and night flow, and time always passes quickly. Half a year just flies by, especially for him in cultivation.
During this period of time, Zhao Shoushou could be said to have ignored the outside world and only focused on practicing scriptures, just like the paradise in Shuixi Town.
However, the outside world was obviously not peaceful during this period. The reason was that the Cheng family, which had lived here for generations, had three family elders in the late stage of Qi training who died outside for unknown reasons without any warning.
For a time, the Cheng family, which was originally the most powerful in Shuixi Town and usually acted arrogantly and domineeringly, was left with only one ninth-level Qi-training monk struggling to support it.
The other two families in Shuixi Town, the Man family with one late-stage Qi-refining monk, the Xiao family with two late-stage Qi-refining monks, and the Chen family with three late-stage Qi-refining monks, were suddenly a little bit ready to make a move.
The essence of cultivating a monk is that a thousand ways and ten thousand are just a consumption of cultivation resources. The Cheng family relies on its superior strength to almost occupy the most fertile spiritual fields, spiritual medicine gardens, etc. in Shuixi Town.
Since the decline has already been shown at this time, the remaining three cultivating families will naturally not let it go easily. The so-called beating of the lost dog, a failure to deal with the decline is an inevitable outcome.
The Cheng family was naturally unwilling to give away the resources they had managed for hundreds of years, so during this period they were frantically looking for suitable monks to win over at all costs.
A casual cultivator who lives here temporarily, Zhao Shoushou, who has no worries, is naturally the tender fat in the eyes of the Cheng family, and is also their next target.
"Have you ever found out the origins of the casual cultivator living in the rented cave? Are you sure he has the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi training?" In the manor that the Cheng family has carefully built for generations, a monk with a sad face and a thin face asked one after another, making him anxious.
The mood is clearly revealed.
"Clan leader, this rogue cultivator once appeared in Dingsha County Fang City, but he is undoubtedly at the ninth level of Qi training. He once sold a large number of first-grade top-grade sand lizard skins. He is likely to come from Xianzhou across the way." A man covered in black
The monk whose face could not be seen clearly in his clothes responded one by one.
"Xianzhou is a remote and remote place. I came to Anzhou just to find suitable resources. Let's go and find out carefully what exactly do you want?" The head of the Cheng family ordered with confidence, as if he had seen the success of recruiting a group of people.
The wonderful scene after the famous thug in the late stage of Qi refining.
Generally speaking, at the same level of cultivation, although monks from places with scarce resources are slightly inferior in terms of equipment, they are undoubtedly superior in terms of fighting will and combat effectiveness.
Therefore, for a small family like the Cheng family that is facing a crisis, some casual cultivators from remote places in Xianzhou are recruited to act as thugs.
As for these casual cultivators, what they want is nothing more than a small price in their opinion. These small families may seem inconspicuous, but they have occupied a stable spiritual mountain for generations. It is not difficult to accumulate a large amount of property over time.
This move is also a move that has been tried and tested countless times when the family encountered danger, but the Cheng family obviously paid the wrong attention.
In their view, this impoverished casual cultivator from a remote rural area had no regard for ordinary resources, and it would cost a lot to have him serve as a thug.
The only thing that drives him to fight bravely as a loyal thug is a treasure that only helps. This is precisely the fatal flaw of these small families.
Even if after several generations of hard work, they were lucky enough to get one or two natural treasures that could play a certain role in building the foundation, how could they be willing to provide them? This meant that there was no room for cooperation between the two.
As qualified neighbors, the other three cultivating families are naturally very familiar with these routines, and they will do their best to stop them.
However, all these plans have nothing to do with preparing for seclusion to improve cultivation. Some of the tentative communication talismans from various families to win over did not even respond, until one day the family patriarch came to visit.
"Cheng Mouhua of the Cheng family specially came to visit and asked fellow Taoist Zhao to show up." In the ninth month of Zhao Shoushou's retreat, as the situation of the Cheng family became worse and worse, the patriarch of the Cheng family finally came to visit.
In fact, when Cheng Mouhua saw the large number of communication talismans on the formation at the entrance of the cave, he realized that he was facing a monk who was dedicated to ascetic cultivation.
In his spiritual life, he had only two perceptions of this kind of monk who dedicated himself to asceticism. One was that it was difficult to impress unless there was a major benefit; the other was that he was extremely stubborn and stubborn. Therefore, after seeing this scene, he immediately felt a little numb.
.
In fact, his hunch was also correct. The monk he was about to face was a persistent and stubborn monk, and because of inexplicable reasons, his practice was interrupted, which made him feel very bad.
There is a widely circulated proverb in the secular world, "Destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents." In the world of cultivation, it is "Destroying a person's path is like killing his parents." The hatred between the two cannot be easily eliminated.
"If I remember correctly, there is no hatred between Mr. Zhao and fellow Taoist Cheng, and the warning formation in the cave where Mr. and Mrs. lives is always wide open. Why did Mr. Taoist use special means to interrupt Mr. and Mrs. Cheng's practice?" Zhao Shoushou asked expressionlessly, obviously
He has a face that shows he cannot communicate well and immediately starts a fight.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao makes atonement. Cheng came here this time because he really has something urgent to ask for. I wonder if I can go into the cave to talk about it?" Cheng Mouhua said eagerly.
"But the bad blood among the big families in Shuixi Town? I wonder what price you are prepared to pay?" After reading the communication talisman, Zhao Shoushou already had an answer in his mind.
"As long as fellow Taoist is willing to help, the entire Cheng family will be grateful. How about offering another 1,200 low-grade spiritual stones when the matter is over? If fellow Taoist is willing, he can also be hired as a guest elder of the family. The treatment will be generous. In addition,
The family can look for a female cultivator of the same age and with a pretty face to be a good match for the fellow Taoist." Cheng Mouhua looked like he was well-paid and sincere.
"Zhao is not short of spiritual stones. Since the Cheng family is not sincere, there is no need to continue talking. Now I only need some heavenly materials and earthly treasures that are effective for foundation building. If I can't provide everything, there is no need to talk. As for all other external things,
Why bother to use it to humiliate someone?" As soon as he finished speaking, the formation was closed again.
Cheng Mouhua, the patriarch of the Cheng family outside, had a bitter expression on his face, as if he had already anticipated what he was going through.
