Soon after Shang Xia returned to Shang Mansion, he learned that Shang Ke had also returned, so he ran to see him.
"You want to participate in the battle to reopen the two realms, why?"
Shang Ke looked at Shang Xia with some surprise and said: "This battle is extremely risky. The academy teachers and us old guys have always taken the lead. Now that you are about to be promoted, what you should do more is to stay here and polish your cultivation.
Lay a good foundation.”
"I didn't find a suitable advanced potion!"
Shang Xia told Shang Ke what happened in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and then mentioned Zhang Haogu's suggestion.
Shang Ke pondered for a moment and said: "So, your purpose is to find the remaining origin of heaven and earth in the two realms of war, so as to restore the incomplete potion that is very suitable for you?"
Shang Xia nodded and said, "Yes."
Shang Ke shook his head and said: "Your method may work theoretically, but it may be almost impossible to be truly successful! Not everyone can have the luck of Kou Chongxue who is loved by heaven and earth! Moreover, even if the two realms of war are
There is still some remnant of the origin of heaven and earth, but it may not be enough."
What is strange is that Shang Ke did not directly deny Shang Xia's idea, but instead emphasized the difficulty and possibility of doing so.
Then, Shang Ke said seriously: "Even if there is no suitable advanced potion for the time being, my uncle suggests that you should calm down and settle down for two years. This will be of great benefit to your future growth. After all, you have progressed too fast in the past two years.
, so fast that I was caught off guard!"
But Shang Xia insisted: "But my grandson still wants to give it a try! The origin of heaven and earth is rare, and it cannot be found normally. But if you can find it but don't look for it, then your grandson will be very regretful!"
Seeing his insistence, Shang Ke could only say: "Even if I agree here, it may not work with your grandfather."
Shang Xia smiled and said, "As long as you always agree."
Shang Xia was about to say goodbye and leave, but suddenly he remembered something and said, "Uncle, my grandson has to tell you something..."
Shang Ke smiled and said: "Is it about your ninth aunt? Even if you don't do it, I'm going to do it! Since they didn't think about each other's affection when they took action, we don't have to be too polite.
Angry. Those people she brought with her will become a disaster if they stay. It will be troublesome to expel them. Besides, it is just the Li family of Jizhou. If they are expelled, they will be expelled."
Shang Xia smiled and said, "I'm afraid Uncle Jiu will be unhappy."
Shang Ke said solemnly: "If he can't even understand this, then he is not qualified to be a part of the merchant. This time we can see what he will do!"
Soon after Shang Xia said goodbye and left, Shang Jian hurried over to see Shang Ke.
"Fifth Uncle, Shang Xia's nephew just met you, but were you talking about his advancement to the fourth heaven?"
Although Shang Jian looked calm on the outside, he was definitely not calm inside, and even had a bit of expectation.
Shang Ke seemed to see through his heart at a glance, and said with a smile: "He has not found a suitable advanced potion for the time being. I am afraid that the time to break into the martial evil realm will have to be pushed back."
When Shang Jian heard the news, he couldn't hide the enthusiasm in his heart. He couldn't help but said: "Then...nephew, can I..."
Shang Ke said without raising his head: "You still have to wait!"
"oh……"
Shang Jian couldn't hide the disappointment in his expression, and he couldn't help but ask: "Why? Even if he has made great achievements, he can't miss the opportunity to grow his family just to wait for him, right? Now the other three major families in Tongyou City
The second fourth-level martial artist has already been promoted. My nephew, I have been practicing in the Dacheng of the Martial Arts Realm for several years. Although I have not advanced to the Great Perfection, I have polished my cultivation very solidly, and I have the hope of advancing to the fourth level.
great……"
Shang Ke saw that the more he talked, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but slap the table hard, stood up with a "pop" and said, "How do you know that the family will miss the opportunity to grow?"
"Do you know that Sanniangzi has successfully advanced to the martial arts realm, and that the second generation of merchants already have fourth-level masters?"
"Do you know how she got the formula and Lingsha? That kid gave it to her directly!"
"Besides, you are still only at the third level of Dzogchen, but your nephew has already reached the third level of Dzogchen. He is more qualified than you to be promoted to the fourth heaven."
"Even without this, the spirit of heaven and earth must be reserved for him. Unless he doesn't need it, it will be your turn!"
"Either you go and earn yourself a Heaven and Earth Spirit Evil now, and I will immediately use the strength of the whole clan to prepare the elixirs and spiritual materials needed for the 'rare confusion liquid' for you..."
At this point, Shang Ke slapped his forehead and said: "Oh, I forgot to tell you that the 'rare confusion liquid' is the most suitable medicine for you among the fourth-level advanced formulas currently mastered by the family. However, this formula
He also took it from the direct disciple of the White Deer Sect!"
Shang Jian finally hid his face and left.
Shang Ke looked at Shang Jian leaving and sighed secretly.
In fact, he was inclined to give the "Lingkong Shadowless Evil" to Shang Jian for use.
After all, in his opinion, Shang Xia's cultivation was promoted too quickly, and he should slow down and practice for a few years. It is best to lay a solid foundation before seeking promotion, so that he can go further in the martial arts in the future.
However, as the patriarch of the Shang family, Shang Ke must level a bowl of water.
Even if you have an inclination, it must be justified.
In his opinion, the Spirit of Heaven and Earth can be given to Shang Jian because Shang Xia cannot use it for the time being, but it must not be that Shang Jian feels that he deserves to get that Spirit!
…………
In the south courtyard of Shang Mansion.
Li Tianxiu ran into the courtyard in a panic. When he saw Shang Yang from a distance, he cried: "Brother Ninth, why do you want to drive my people away? You have such no status in this business and are you being humiliated by your nephew?"
If I had known you were such a coward, why would I have married you and come all the way from Jizhou to this bitter cold place in Youzhou..."
"enough!"
Shang Yang suddenly shouted loudly, stepped forward to his wife, grabbed her arm, and roared: "It's all your fault! What happened to Li Tianshou? How did he follow you to grow up?"
Maple City?”
Li Tianxiu was frightened by Shang Yang's ferocious look and was a little confused. He said blankly: "What's wrong with cousin Tianshou? He said that he would travel around to look for opportunities to break through. When he heard that I was returning to Youzhou, Xingzhi started to follow me.
Already."
"Xingzhiqi? What a Xingzhiqi!"
Shang Yang laughed angrily at this silly woman and said, "Did he also say that his identity as the direct descendant of Bailu is too ostentatious and he doesn't want to be too public, so he asked you to help him cover it up?"
Seeing the dull expression on the woman's face, Shang Yang slapped himself on the forehead and said in a deep voice: "Since your family is unkind, don't blame my family for being unjust! Since the two families have turned against each other, those around you
They can no longer stay. The nephew of Shang Xia just expelled them from Tongyou City, which has already given me, the ninth uncle, a huge face. Otherwise, hehe..."
Li Tianxiu's face was full of fear at this time.
Shang Yang looked at his married wife beside him and sighed: "From today on, in this Shang Mansion, you have to live in seclusion and act in a low-key manner. For the sake of our children, you know what to do!"
After saying that, Shang Yang stood up and walked out.
It wasn't until this moment that Li Tianxiu suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly staggered forward a few steps to catch up, saying: "No, Ninth Brother, you can't do this! My cousin is the direct descendant of Bailu, and my Li family is in Bailu City.
He has a prominent position, and his tribe has been worshiped by the White Deer Sect for generations..."
"Li Tianshou is dead!"
Shang Yang suddenly turned around, glared at his wife, and said loudly: "As for the White Deer Sect, the backer you talk about every day, it was stolen by the invaders.
I slashed at Xuesheng with my sword, and now I don’t even dare to fart!"
When Li Tianxiu heard this, he suddenly fell to the ground...
…………
Shang Xia was in the small courtyard where Shang Mansion lived.
After Shang Xia returned here, he invited Duan Hong.
The second-level craftsman trained by the merchant himself was holding the Red Star Gun in his hands with a suspicious look on his face and carefully inspecting the damage at the tip of the gun.
Although Duan Hong is far from being able to forge high-grade sharp weapons, in Shang Xia's opinion, he can still make some repairs to the Red Star Gun.
"Sixth Young Master, it may be that Duan is not good at studying, but why does Duan think that the damage to your Red Star Gun is caused by internal causes rather than external causes?"
Hearing this, Shang Xia smiled and said: "Mr. Duan's insight is indeed related to Shang. Could you please take a look and see if you can make some repairs?"
Duan Hong thought for a while and said: "That's okay, but this Red Star Spear is a top-grade weapon after all, so it also needs some top-grade spiritual materials!"
Shang Xia successively killed many White Deer Sect and Cangling warriors in Changfeng City, and later ransacked the city lord's palace in Changfeng City. Now he is so rich that among the warriors of the same level, he almost doesn't want to be the second person.
.
Hearing this, Shang Xia just flicked his sleeves, and five or six open brocade boxes appeared on the table. Each one contained a large or small piece of spiritual material with a quality of third level or above.
"Sir, please see if there is anything useful among these things, just take them!"
Duan Hong was startled when he saw Shang Xia take out several brocade boxes at once. When he saw the contents in the boxes, his eyes lit up and he said continuously: "That's enough, that's enough."
!”
Seeing this, Shang Xia pushed all the boxes in front of him and said with a smile: "That's it, sir, please do it as quickly as possible!"
After seeing off Duan Hong, who was full of joy, he saw Yan Qi walking in from the door.
"Young Master, all the people from Jizhou have been expelled from the mansion, and Master Jiu has put Madam Nine under house arrest!"
Shang Xia just nodded when he heard this. He was just using this matter as an excuse, but he didn't actually take it to heart.
Yan Qi then said again: "Young Master, Sun Haiwei and Tian Mengzi, the two tutors from the academy, have made a special trip to visit and are currently serving tea in the east courtyard's side hall!"
"Hey, these two are rare visitors!"
Although Shang Xia was a little surprised, he hurriedly moved to the guest room.
"The two teachers are here today. The students are disappointed to welcome them from afar!"
Before the Shang Xia people arrived, the voice had already reached them.
When they arrived at the side hall of the east courtyard, Sun and Tian had already heard the sound and stood up.
"The instructor is not the teacher. We are not much different in age from each other, so we should treat each other as brothers. If you regard yourself as a student, how should we get along with each other?"
As soon as Tian Mengzi opened his mouth, he evened out their identities, which made the three of them feel much more harmonious.
The three of them exchanged a few words and then took their seats.
Tian Mengzi spoke quickly and directly explained his intention to Shang Xia.
"I came to see Junior Brother Shang today because I actually want to invite you to attend a gathering between warriors of the same level."
"reunion?"
Shang Xia looked at the two of them with some confusion.
Sun Haiwei explained with a smile: "Actually, it is a private trading meeting to exchange knowledge, but sometimes everyone will also exchange some experiences in cultivation with each other, which can be regarded as mutual promotion."
After hearing this, Shang Xia became very interested and said, "Is there such a gathering? Why have I never heard of it?"
Tian Mengzi smiled bitterly and said: "Junior Brother Shang is a member of a wealthy family and has relatively sufficient resources for various cultivations. Besides, Junior Brother, your cultivation speed is too fast..."
