Chapter 146 The upper limit of the inheritance of the Shang family
Shang Xia did not hide his plans at all.
In fact, under the current situation he was facing, there was absolutely no need for him to hide anything.
When Shang Xia informed everyone about the existence of Phantom Evil, although everyone was shocked, they all calmly accepted Shang Xia's proposal.
In a sense, Shang Xia was the first to discover Phantom Evil, so he was naturally qualified to deal with it.
What's more, they have now lost contact with Tongyou Peak. They may face the Fourth Heavenly Suppression of the Rose Society at any time, so doing this is more of a self-rescue.
As for Neishe's teachings to Gu Shou, although his cultivation has reached the third level of Wu Yijing, he is still some distance away from reaching the level of Wu Yijing.
Through the central formation diagram, Shang Xia had long known that there were four rockeries with stone chambers in the Land of Landscape Phantoms.
Shang Xia has visited three of them and gained something from each of these three stone chambers.
Only this fourth stone chamber is the first time I have come here.
After deciding on the idea of ensuring Shang Ke's attack on Wusha Realm first, everyone performed their duties and immediately started taking action.
Shang Xia followed Shang Ke to the fourth stone chamber opened by Chu Jia.
This stone chamber is specially used to absorb and refine the phantom spirit evil, and is prepared for warriors who attack the martial evil realm.
There is also a formation system specially prepared for this inscribed on the four walls of the stone chamber.
The grandfather and grandson sat casually, and Shang Xia smiled and said: "Fifth Grandpa, you won't blame me for overstepping my authority and letting you attack the fourth heaven without any preparation, right?"
Shang Ke smiled and said: "You are a man of great ability and rich opportunities. How many people want the source of evil spirits but cannot get it, and their own cultivation is trapped in the realm of martial arts. Not only did you get it, you also gave it to others.
I got such a big advantage, why should I still complain to you? Isn’t this just a case of being good after getting such a big advantage?"
Shang Xia heard Shang Ke's cheerful tone without any hint of displeasure. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "Having said that, my grandson also feels a little regretful. The fifth grandfather's current cultivation level is not as high as the Martial Artistic Realm.
If the matter is not urgent, there may be a chance to comprehend the magical power of martial arts and reach the state of perfect martial arts. In this way, the foundation of advancing to the fourth level of the Queen will become more profound."
Shang Ke smiled and comforted him: "You don't need to be like this. In fact, my cultivation has reached the point where it is today six or seven years ago, but there has been no progress in these years. In fact, I have no longer
I extravagantly hope that I can understand the magical power of Wu Yi Jing, but the source of evil energy, an important medium for advancing to the fourth heaven, is also something that can be encountered but cannot be sought. Even your grandfather and my third brother have searched in many ways over the years, but in the end they have found nothing. That is why we postponed
To this day.”
Shang Xia naturally knows this, but knowing is one thing, and Shang Ke's own thoughts are another.
However, after hearing Shang Ke say that he himself had already given up on his insistence on Wuyijing's magical power, Shang Xia finally felt relieved.
"The matter of advanced potions..."
This was the last thing Shang Xia worried about.
Shang Ke patted his waist with his right hand, and a bronze wine bottle with exquisite reliefs on the surface appeared in his hand: "Since we have known for a long time that the origin of evil spirits is something that is often encountered but not sought, how could I possibly know it in advance?
Not prepared? With the help of your grandfather, I had almost prepared the fourth-level advanced potion two or three years ago."
"It's just that most advanced potions cannot and dare not be stored for a long time, so they are often made into semi-finished products by pharmacists. When used, they can be blended and fused with the last few simple steps at any time, and then they can be taken directly."
Shang Xia was surprised: "Is there such an operation?"
Shang Ke said: "It is not easy to make high-level advanced potions, but opportunities for advancement are also rare and often fleeting. If you want to seize the opportunity to advance, you can only prepare advanced potions in advance.
Make a fuss about it.”
Shang Xia nodded thoughtfully.
Shang Xia followed Shang Ke to the stone chamber, originally because he was afraid that Shang Ke might misunderstand him.
Since the incident did not happen, Shang Xia was ready to leave and did not dare to delay his old man's advancement time.
Unexpectedly, just when Shang Xia was about to stand up, Shang Ke suddenly looked thoughtful and said, "Xiao Xia, what do you think of the relationship between the family and the college?"
Shang Xia was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously blurted out: "Everyone will be prosperous, and everyone will suffer a loss!"
Shang Ke nodded, with a noncommittal look on his face, and said: "What you said is not wrong. Tongyou Academy is indeed the foundation of the entire Youzhou's current strength, and Chief Kou Shan is a genius. But the fifth grandfather always believes that the family
It is not advisable to be too tightly tied to the academy, at least the independence of the Shang family must be maintained."
Shang Xia was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Shang Ke to say such words.
Shang Xia looked at Shang Ke, who had bright eyes, and asked carefully: "Why do you want Grandpa Wu to tell me this?"
Shang Ke took a deep look at him and said: "The third brother has a very deep imprint of the academy... Of course, this is not an accusation, but an affirmation of his contribution to the rise of the family. In fact, from a certain
In this sense, the rise of merchants in Tongyou City was originally the result of Chief Kou Shan’s deliberate support.”
Shang Xia didn't quite understand. From the fifth grandfather's tone, Chief Kou Shan must have another purpose in supporting Shang Xia. However, the Shang family has indeed become one of the four major families in Tongyou City. It is the duty to repay kindness.
Something to do.
However, Shang Xia did not dare to refute directly, but kept silent and listened quietly.
Seeing that Shang Xia was speechless, Shang Ke probably had some idea of what he was thinking. He also thought about it and said: "What I mean is that Chief Kou Shan and Tongyou Academy have helped the Shang family. This
This kind of kindness cannot be denied, but we, the elders of the family, will repay it, and we will do our best to repay it as fully as possible. After all, the merchant is an independent family force, and can be an ally, partner, or collaborator of Tongyou Academy, but absolutely
You can’t become a vassal of the other party, at least you can’t become a vassal of Tongyou Academy in the future and live by relying on others, do you understand what I mean?”
After Shang Ke hesitated for a moment, he finally nodded.
Shang Ke smiled, as if he was afraid that Shang Xia would think too much, so he gave one more instruction: "I don't want you to be an enemy of the college!"
"I know!"
Shang Xia suddenly raised his head and smiled and said: "I understand what you mean, I think I will grasp the heat of this."
Shang Ke had a look of relief on his face, but he still said: "The heat here is not so easy to control."
As he spoke, Shang Ke took out a jade bottle from the Jinyun Box and poured the medicine in the bronze pot into the jade bottle. A strong aroma of wine began to fill the air.
I saw Shang Ke taking two more paper bags, pouring the powders of different colors into them, then crushing two wax pills and soaking them into the jade bottle, where they quickly disappeared.
Shang Ke held up the jade bottle with one hand and shook it gently while sighing: "The fourth-level advanced potion 'Multiple Thousand Fantasy Brews' is no better than the advanced potion your grandfather used when he advanced to the fourth heaven."
Two, both are provided by Chief Kou Shan!"
"Oh," Shang Xia nodded, suddenly startled, looked up at Shang Ke and said: "Fifth Grandpa, you said that the fourth-level advanced potion was provided by Chief Kou Shan, and our merchant does not have his own fourth-level advanced potion.
Recipe?”
Shang Ke's smile was slightly bitter: "Son, people say that merchants are among the four major families in Tongyou City, and your grandfather is now catching up with Ji Wenlong in cultivation. If I can succeed this time, then our merchants will have two of the four major families.
Chongtian, to outsiders, is undoubtedly the largest family in Tongyou City. But who would have thought that the Shang family, one of the so-called four major families, actually does not even have a fourth-level advanced formula belonging to their own family.
Where’s the inheritance?”
Shang Xia said in a dull voice: "Are there any other three families?"
Shang Ke nodded and said: "Yes, there must be! Ji, Liu, and Yun were originally three of the five great families in Youzhou. Of course they have their own fourth-level inheritance."
Shang Xia asked again in a deep voice: "Both my grandfather and you have sworn an oath that the recipe of the 'Multiple Thousand Fantasy Brew' will not be passed on to anyone else?"
Shang Ke nodded and said: "This is the usual method of the academy, and there is nothing wrong with it. Moreover, this 'Multiple Thousand Illusion Brew' can be regarded as one of the fourth-level advanced formulas collected by the academy, which is the most suitable for our merchants to grab.
.”
"It's just that without the advanced inheritance of the fourth heaven, our business is still a city wall on the sand, and it cannot withstand the wind and rain. Once something happens to me or your grandfather, our business's fourth heaven master will immediately stop selling, and the Shang family will also immediately
He will fall from the four major families, and it may even be a disaster!"
"So now we need a fourth-level advanced formula, a fourth-level advanced formula that belongs exclusively to our merchant!" Shang Xia muttered to himself after taking the words.
Shang Ke said: "Every fourth-level advanced formula is precious, but if you have the opportunity, it is best to find a fourth-level advanced formula that is relatively consistent with our merchant's martial arts heritage."
Shang Ke paused and continued: "The most complete martial arts inherited by our merchants is based on spear skills. The first and second levels are not enough. When you start to advance to the third level, I hope you can follow the merchant
Grab a pulse. Although my merchant gun does not have the inheritance of the fourth level, it is recognized as strong at the third level. When your grandfather reached the level of martial arts, he may not be as good as Ouyang Jiyuan who just died."
Shang Xia said: "Okay!"
After advancing to the martial arts realm, it was Shang Xia's plan to practice the merchant's family martial arts.
The aroma of the wine in Shang Ke's jade bottle has become more and more intense as it continues to shake. Even after just taking two sips of the wine, Shang Xia felt dizzy.
"Actually, the opening of the Coral Forest Ruins this time is the best opportunity to obtain the fourth-level advanced formula!" Shang Ke sighed.
Shang Xia was startled and suddenly said: "The Zhu family's fourth-level advanced formula? Could it be said that this is the real purpose of Deputy Mountain Chief Liu, Yuejihui, and Tongyou Academy, the four major families?"
Shang Ke smiled and did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you know how many martial arts inheritances the Zhu family has that can lead directly to the fourth level?"
Shang Xia shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
Shang Ke curled his open palm with a thumb and said, "Four kinds!"
Shang Xia was startled for a moment, and then sighed: "You are worthy of being the first family in Youzhou! But are these four inheritances related to the four spiritual lands of Coral Forest?"
"I didn't know it before, but now it seems that it is indeed related!" Shang Ke said.
Shang Xia was a little envious and said: "The profound heritage of the Zhu family is indeed amazing!"
Shang Ke suddenly said at this time: "But these four fourth-level advanced formulas are not the things that really make Tongyou City and Yueji Club crazy..."
"What could that be?" Shang Xia asked subconsciously and strangely.
"Level 5!"
Shang Ke's eyes looked a little hollow at this time, and even his voice seemed to be ethereal: "Back then, there were always rumors among the high-level warriors in Youzhou that the old patriarch of the Zhu family had a complete formula for advancing to the martial arts realm.
