Lingbei Island.

In a fresh and elegant pavilion.

A young monk, tall and tall, handsome and handsome, wearing a white robe, sat on a stone bench and looked at the raindrops in the spiritual pool outside the pavilion with an indifferent expression.

Behind him, a monk in the late stage of Zhou family foundation building stood with his hands raised.

"You mean, Lingzhou City is about to be completed?"

Zhou Mubai sprinkled a handful of spiritual grain, causing the spiritual fish in the spiritual pond to scramble for it.

"To the young patriarch, yes."

The Zhou family's foundation-building monk lowered his head.

"How many casual cultivators are lost in our city?"

"a lot of,"

The Zhou family's foundation-building monk's voice trembled slightly, "The loss of casual cultivators is about 30%, and the loss is still going on."

"Thirty percent..."

Zhou Mubai raised his head, "Didn't the family also establish spiritual veins for the casual cultivators to practice?"

Hearing this, the foundation-building monk behind him lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.

Sure enough, the little guy was right.

After saying something silently in his mind, Zhou Mubai continued, "Where is the core business district?"

"Suffering heavy losses, a large number of stores have withdrawn from the core business district, and the number of customers has dropped by 20% compared to before."

"Twenty percent, this is just the beginning, alas!"

Zhou Mubai also did not expect that the establishment of Lingzhou City would have such a big impact on Guang'an Mansion.

Was about to say something.

A beautiful maidservant came in, bowed and said: "Young patriarch, there is a young master outside who wants to see you."

"Sir?"

Zhou Mubai looked at the maid strangely.

"He said you will understand after reading this."

The maid said, took out a white jade slip and handed it over.

Zhou Mubai swept his consciousness and immediately saw Chen Daoxuan waiting outside, and said with a smile: "Invite him in."

"Yes, young patriarch."

Seeing the maid retreat, Zhou Mubai waved his hand and said, "You can go down too."

"But, Young Patriarch, are we just going to do nothing and just sit back and watch Lingzhou City grow?"

The Zhou family monk in the late stage of foundation building said anxiously.

"Who said we didn't do anything? Aren't we building spiritual veins?"

Seeing that the other party wanted to talk again, Zhou Mubai waved his hand.

"Young Patriarch, my subordinates resign!"

Watching his leaving figure, Zhou Mubai felt a little headache.

The continuous expansion of Lingzhou City has made more and more monks of the Zhou family feel dissatisfied, and the elders in the clan council have also continued to launch attacks on Lingzhou City.

Even with Zhou Mubai's prestige, he was gradually unable to suppress these hard-liners.

Chen Daoxuan followed the Zhou family's maid and came to the pavilion where Zhou Mubai was sitting.

"Senior Zhou!"

Chen Daoxuan bowed his hands and bowed.

Who knew that the moment Zhou Mubai saw Chen Daoxuan, his eyes flashed.

The figure disappeared in the pavilion in an instant, and the next moment, Zhou Mubai appeared directly in front of Chen Daoxuan.

He pointed at Chen Daoxuan and said in a trembling voice: "You actually did it?"

"Junior is lucky!"

Zhou Mubai took a deep breath, then let out a long sigh of relief: "I really don't know if I am helping you or hurting you by giving this jade slip to you."

this moment.

Zhou Mubai couldn't help but feel very sorry.

This kind of emotion can only be felt when seeing a monk who is more amazing and talented than him about to perish in front of him.

"Senior and junior, when I saw the path of sword cultivation recorded on the jade slips of my senior, I became obsessed with it. If I fall because of this, junior, I will die without regrets!"

After saying that, Chen Daoxuan stared at the other party with burning eyes.

Hearing this, Zhou Mubai could hardly restrain his admiration for Chen Daoxuan in his eyes. He kept nodding his head and said: "Okay! What a good person to die without regrets! This is what I, the sword cultivator, should do!"

"senior……"

"Don't call me senior!"

Zhou Mubai raised his hand, "Just by saying that I will die without regrets, we will be friends as equals from now on!"

"Brother Zhou!"

"Hahahaha! Happy!"

Zhou Mubai laughed loudly, "If you succeed, you will definitely be famous among thousands of stars in the future. If you die..."

Zhou Mubai's voice deepened, "As long as I live, I will keep your Chen family safe!"

Hear this promise.

Chen Daoxuan looked at Zhou Mubai blankly and said sincerely: "Thank you, Brother Zhou!"

He paused and said seriously, "But before that, I have one more thing to ask Brother Zhou."

"Just tell me!"

Zhou Mubai waved his hand.

"It's a matter of my younger brother's clan uncle..."

With that said, Chen Daoxuan introduced Chen Xianhe's situation in detail.

After hearing this, Zhou Mubai kept shaking his head and sighing, "It's too late to be nearly a hundred years old. If you are less than sixty-five years old, as far as I know, there is still a kind of natural talent and earthly treasure that you can try, but at this age...

"

Zhou Mubai said, shaking his head.

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan, who was originally full of expectations, gradually sank.

"As a monk, you have to get used to people around you gradually leaving you. You must know that not every relative has a talent as good as yours."

Zhou Mubai comforted him and said, "Daoxuan, life and death are impermanent!

If we don’t become immortals, you and I will eventually have such a day, sooner or later.”

But when Chen Daoxuan heard these words, he still refused to give up. He raised his head and said, "Brother Zhou, if there is a pill that can help an older monk forcefully open his Dantian Qi sea, can't it also help him build his foundation?"

Zhou Mubai shook his head: "It's not that simple. In your opinion, what is foundation building?"

"Spiritual Qi tempers the body, Qi sea expands, and True Qi transforms!"

"What you said is just an appearance."

Zhou Mubai explained, "The deeper changes in monks' foundation building are the transformation of the soul. Do you know why we call the Mahayana True Immortal also the Pure Yang True Immortal?"

Chen Daoxuan shook his head.

"Chun Yang Chunyang refers to the complete transformation of the soul, and foundation building is the first step of transformation. Your clan uncle Chen Xianhe is not lacking in blood, let alone true energy, but lacking in soul."

"Then the lack of soul cannot be remedied with elixirs?"

"Of course it's not that simple,"

Zhou Mubai shook his head and said, "If a person is compared to a candle, before he is sixty years old, this candle is burning brightly, but after he is sixty years old, this candle will gradually burn out. At this time

, you use the elixir to extend your life, you just add a fire to the candle, but it has no effect on the candle itself. "

After hearing this explanation, Chen Daoxuan's eyes darkened completely.

"Condolences!"

Zhou Mubai patted his shoulder and said.

After saying that, he handed over a Foundation Establishment Pill and said: "Although it may not be of much use to you, it can still increase your confidence in the first line of Foundation Establishment."

"Thank you, Brother Zhou."

Chen Daoxuan took the Foundation Establishment Pill and smiled palely.

Watching Chen Daoxuan leave, Zhou Mubai sighed: "It's a pity that he is a passionate person again!"

…

Return to Hongyin Feijian shop.

Chen Daoxuan adjusted his mood and acted as if nothing had happened.

"came back?"

Chen Xianhe scolded, "I told you, our Chen family does not lack ten thousand or twenty thousand spiritual stones now, so why should we owe favors to others for this? You know, debts of favor are the hardest to repay."

"Yes, yes, Daoxuan knows he is wrong."
