Chapter 227 Leisure
Feibiao is a beast kept in captivity by the inner sect of the Xuantian League. It looks like a tiger with feathers on its back. Although it cannot fly into the air, it can glide for a short time.
He can also regard the bumps as a smooth road and travel thousands of miles with ease.
Among the mountains.
Two Feibiaos were running wildly, with Xu Yousun and Li Chunrao each sitting on them. Su Gun's body was held in Li Chunrao's arms.
"Brother."
Li Chungnao gritted his teeth:
"We can't just let it go!"
"Of course." Xu Yousun snorted:
"Junior brother has a fateful relationship with us, so we can't just let it go. Return to Killing Sky Pavilion, and I'll beg Master He to take action."
Li Chunrao looked slightly relaxed, but also a little worried.
The Killing Sky Pavilion is different from other places in the inner sect. It is inherently indifferent to people, and Su Gun only has two close friends, so others may not be willing to help.
Even if Senior Brother Xu requests it, the effect is still unknown.
But...
She had a stern look on her face.
No matter what, we can't just let this matter go. Senior brother can't die in vain. Even if he loses his face, he still has to ask for help.
The Thunder Eyebrows and Tianhu Gang must look good!
"Who?"
Suddenly, Xu Yousun pulled the reins hurriedly, staring straight ahead with wide eyes.
Li Chunyuan came to his senses.
But at some point, a black shadow appeared on the high slope in front of them. The black shadow was wearing a cloak and was looking at the two of them quietly.
There was also an invisible sense of chilling that filled the air.
"Slaughter Sky Pavilion."
The shadow murmured:
“It’s been a long time since I met anyone from this place.”
"Whoosh!"
The figure shook, and the black shadow that was a hundred meters away suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, and a wisp of water-like sword energy quietly slashed down.
"Death!"
"Boom..."
"Black Iron Late Stage!"
"Who are you?"
"Ah!"
Following two screams that stopped suddenly, the voice suddenly became silent.
The black shadow stood in the ruins, glanced at the corpse, snorted coldly, and then waved his hand, and several thunderbolts swept across the entire place.
"Rumble..."
The rubble fell, half-burying the bodies.

As his name suggests, Lin Yuan is round and round, with some baby fat on his face. When he smiles, his eyes narrow, almost into a slit.
She is a disciple on Xiaolang Island.
She was able to enter Xiaolang Island not because she was talented enough, but because she followed the path of her family's ancestors.
When I entered the island, I was not welcomed. I was randomly assigned a master. Even after being a disciple for a long time, I never saw the real face of the master.
Not to mention giving pointers on martial arts.
Like him, there is also ‘senior brother’ Yang Ku.
Fortunately.
The two of them were just unlucky. Although they were new to Black Iron, the master they were studying under did not have the same surname as Yang or Xue, but his bloodline was different from ordinary people.
The strength is remarkable.
He is also the deputy leader of the Tianhu Gang.
For a time, even the two of them became popular in the eyes of others.
Yang Ku received the guidance of his father and practiced hard on Xiaolang Island. He only wanted to achieve the tenth level of perfection and advance to the black iron level. Lin Yuan was different.
She knew that her talent was too poor to achieve success in martial arts. After knowing that she had reached a high level, she directly visited him as a disciple.
now.
He even became the little apprentice who ran around beside the ‘master’.
Thanks to her status as a 'master', her life has been smooth lately.
Moreover, there are people who want to raise their noses everywhere, and the hot looks from others greatly satisfy her vanity.
Wanshang Restaurant.
The restaurant belonging to the Tianhu Gang is located on the most prosperous street in Shicheng, and the merchants are all wealthy people traveling from all over the world.
Lin Yuan held the wine jar and knocked on the door.
He walked up to a person with small steps, knocked on the wine jar, and took the initiative to fill the glass with wine.
"Master."
"This is Shui Family's Baiqiongjiang. It is one of the finest wines in the city. It is rare and rare. I only got a jar through my family's connections. Please try it."
"Yeah."
Zhou Jia was deep in thought when he heard the voice and came back to his senses. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then nodded slowly:
"Not bad."
Lin Yuan was happy.
"How is your recent practice progress?" Zhou Jia looked sideways and asked casually:
"How is your practice with Bai Zhe Shou?"
Lin Yuan's expression froze.
"That's all!"
Zhou Jia shook his head.
He also knew that his 'disciple' was not a cultivator, but he really lacked patience for such a self-destructive behavior.
"Forget it."
Putting down his wine glass, he spoke slowly:
"Your Lin family is also a wealthy businessman on the water. You should have heard about what happened at the border recently, right?"
"Yeah."
Seeing that he no longer asked about his cultivation level, Lin Yuan felt relieved. He nodded hastily and said:
"Recently, many fragments of the abyss world have appeared in Hongze Territory, and many monsters have escaped from them. Many places have been damaged."
"Especially at the border, it's even more chaotic."
"It is said that the waters where the sharks are located are the most dangerous. A nest of abyss fire dragons appeared there, each with the power of silver."
"If they don't like water vapor and tend to move to other places when they are wreaking havoc, I am afraid that the underwater imperial city of the sharks will be boiled by the high temperature."
A nest of silver...
You must know that the number of silver experts from the six major ethnic groups in Hongze Region is not as large as the number of black iron experts in Shicheng.
The shark clan has only a handful of silver.
Zhou Jia nodded silently.
The recent news from the imperial court and Xuantian Alliance are mostly related to this.
The Zhicui Island in the Thirty-Six Meridians of the Outer Sect completely collapsed due to the appearance of an abyss world fragment nearby, and a group of terrifying monsters emerged from it. The disciples were scattered in all directions. The sect asked for help if possible to see if it could be reorganized. One lineage.
The Chixiao Army and the Fushui Army also suffered heavy losses, and the Dili Clan even used a certain forbidden weapon to kill two silver beings.
It is said.
A member of the Belo clan, Bai Yin, also died because of this.
The entire Hongze Region seemed to be in chaos.
Fortunately, no fragments of the abyss world appeared near the stone city, so they were spared the disaster. However, the undercurrent was hidden, which also made people uneasy.
Just like the Su family.
Although the Su family had a profound foundation in the past, they never actively showed their ambitions, but now they have a posture of unifying all forces in Stone City.
The City Lord's Mansion also seems to be ready to make a move.
The imperial court lost power, the Xuantian Alliance was in turmoil, the military was in trouble, and heroes from all over the country emerged, creating a scene of chaos in the world.
"Have you heard?"
Whispers came from downstairs. Although the sound was not loud and even covered up, it could not escape Zhou Jia Tingfeng's special perception.
"Ferocious beasts are raging outside, and countless monsters have escaped from the abyss world. Under such circumstances, the Beifu Army still threatens the imperial city."
“I really don’t know what they think?”
"Yes!"
Someone lamented:
"The military is too overbearing. We provide money, effort, and personnel. Instead of trying to destroy the beast, they bully the court."
"Hey!"
The sigh was full of complaints.
"Not really."
An old voice sounded:
"I heard that the imperial court wanted to change the law and threatened the current situation, which is why the Beifu Army desperately approached the imperial city."
"You must know that although the Beifu army is small in number, its combat power is extremely powerful. If other forces did not acquiesce, how could they force the imperial court?"
"It's extreme, it's extreme."
Zhou Jia was sitting on the top floor, his eyes dull, raising a glass of tea and saying nothing.
Lin Yuan had long been used to his situation. Knowing that the 'master' was thinking about something, he lowered his head and carefully exited the room.
"Speaking of which, those of us who do business are even more unlucky. If there is a slight disturbance in the world, we may lose everything."
"Water bandits, robbers, and even local powerful people dare to attack us."
"Who wouldn't be interested in fat meat? If you bite into it, your mouth will be filled with oil."
"That's right!"
"Just like the Han family in Haifu, it is said that hundreds of members of the entire family were dispersed because they offended an elder from the inner sect."
"I passed by Taihu Lake some time ago and was raided a lot. I traveled for several months and didn't make much money. I even got a huge discount."
"I haven't posted anything in this day..."
Complaints came and went.
Zhou Jia's eyes were filled with expressions, and his face was thoughtful.
Those who can come to Wanshang Restaurant are all wealthy businessmen. They travel all over the country. Maybe their horizons are limited and they don't know the inside story of certain things. But as those who have experienced it, their experiences are more real, and they can also hear a lot of news that is not in the newspapers. .
Royal Family...
It seems that the Zhao family member still hasn't given up, trying to attack gold and attracting the hatred of all major forces on his own.
The military has suffered heavy losses this year. If they can still come to Shicheng to recruit soldiers, they may relax their requirements and recruit as many recruits as possible.
It will be even more troublesome then.
……
That’s it!
"Lin Yuan."
"Here."
"Help me cut three kilograms of braised pork, the best kind. I want to take it away."
"Yes."
After a while.
Carrying three kilograms of braised pork, Zhou Jia wandered to the headquarters of the Tianhu Gang with both hands behind his juniors. Under the respectful eyes of others, he returned to his office to pass the time.
This kind of leisurely life is rare and valuable to him.
time.
Two months passed before I knew it.

night.
Zhou Jia opened the lid and checked the fermented medicinal materials.
This is the dark room where he lives. There are alchemy furnaces, medicine cauldrons, various equipment for grinding medicinal materials, and some medicinal books and prescriptions.
The strong herbal flavor lingers in the air.
These days, he spends most of his time here.
Alchemy!
Take your medicine!
Improve your cultivation.
He even announced to the outside world that his Divine Glory Technique had broken through the third level, and his strength had improved further, which also made the Tianhu Gang look forward to him more and more.
"Almost."
Take out the fermented medicinal materials, go through several processes according to the medicine book, and finally put the herbs into the alchemy furnace in order.
"Boom..."
The flames burst into flames.
Although there is no technology, the source technique of Fei Mu's world can still gather high temperatures.
The flames were blazing under the alchemy furnace, but the temperature did not leak out at all. They were all integrated into the alchemy furnace, causing the herbs inside to melt at an alarming speed.
Extreme changes can reduce the loss of medicinal efficacy and stimulate the medicinal properties to a greater extent.
"Purple Tanghua, Qianzuizhi, Fish Liquid..."
"And Golden Crow Grass."
These are the most common elixirs in the city. Although they are watered by the spirit rain technique, the watering time is short, so the vintage is not high.
……
Soon after.
Zhou Jia opened the lid of the alchemy furnace.
The extremely high temperature could not burn his skin. While the medicine inside was still liquid, he hurriedly got something to pour it out.
Then when the liquid medicine begins to solidify, roll it into pills, let it cool and then put it into the medicine bottle.
In this way, two bottles of chalcedony pills were refined.
This is a relatively simple elixir that can nourish the body and strengthen the source of energy. It is not complicated and can be refined by ordinary alchemists.
But Zhou Jia's situation was different.
The medicinal materials he uses are all essence treasures. The elixir naturally also contains essence, which is rare for black iron masters.
Take out one pill and take it, and immediately there will be a surge of energy pouring into your body.
"Well..."
Zhou Jia narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded slowly:
“An improvement compared to last time.”
In terms of medicinal efficacy, the Chalcedony Pill is not as good as the Heavenly King Pill, but fortunately, a large amount can work wonders. As long as there is a sufficient amount, it can also quickly increase one's cultivation level.
"It won't take a year."
Silently guessing and smiling, Zhou Jia smiled calmly:
"You can break through the sixth level. As long as you have enough source of treasure medicine, even if the grade is not high, it will not be a problem to break through the seventh level within three years."
By breaking through the seven levels, the curse on your body can be lifted.
After shaking the elixir in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh at how much the black iron consumed the source of the elixir.
Especially in the later stage of Black Iron, if you want to use precious medicine to increase your cultivation level, you will need a huge amount of precious medicine, which cannot be obtained except by the big sects and powerful forces
If the mortal level could absorb such elixirs, the two bottles in his hand would be enough to train several tenth-level mortal level warriors.
But this is meaningless to the black iron strongman.
No matter how many mortal levels there are, they are still ordinary levels!
"There are not many herbs left."
Looking at the entire audience, Zhou Jia couldn't help but sigh.
After all, the world fragments discovered by Tongtianyi before were too small and lasted for a short time. Seven or eighty-eight percent of the acquired source of essence had been consumed.
The cultivation level has increased a lot in a short period of time, but it is difficult to sustain.
"I wonder how long it will take until the next fragment of the world is discovered?"
"If it is a big fragment and lasts longer, the age of the source medicine can be more than a hundred years... I am too greedy."
…………
"Deputy Gang Leader."
In the study, Liu Zhang cupped his fists and raised his hands:
"During this period, under the leadership of the gang leader, we have made good progress in recovering the lost territory, but we have encountered some troubles recently."
"Oh!"
Zhou Jia put down the book in his hand and looked up:
"What's the trouble?"
"We attacked Tianshui Village and failed repeatedly. We suspected that people from the Su family were obstructing us." Liu Zhang said with a fierce look on his face:
"The Su family is also very interested in Tianshui Village and has secretly annexed two branches. We didn't know about it in advance and fell into a trap and lost a lot of manpower."
"Well..." Zhou Jia's eyes moved slightly:
"Is this a shame?"
The Su family relies on the military and has military support. They will receive rewards every two years for recruiting soldiers. The number of masters is not trivial.
The point is.
Unlike the Tianhu Clan, whose people are very different, the Su family, except for a few guests, all have the surname Su.
As a family, it is easy to be consistent with the outside world.
When Lei Batian was around, the Tianhu Gang and Tianshui Village were always outnumbered by the Su family. Now, even with the support of Xiaolangdao, it is still troublesome.
"Almost."
Liu Zhang sighed:
"We didn't deal with it in the first place, but now it's just on the table."
"It's just that every time we take action, we are repeatedly blocked, which is really a headache. Some people say that there may be a traitor in our Tianhu Gang, so we are targeted in advance."
"I know." Zhou Jia picked up the book:
"I will pay attention during this period."
"Yes."
Liu Zhang should be.
He just reported the situation as usual, but actually didn't think Zhou Jia could do anything. The other party's hard work in cultivation was Lei Mei's greatest expectation.
Lei Mei and Zhou Jia.
One woman and one man, one for the outside and one for the inside, are the backbone of the Tianhu Gang.

other side.
A luxurious boat sailed into the waters of Shicheng.
bow.
A young man in white is holding a folding fan and fanning it gently.
"Stone City."
"Master!"
In the distance, a large ship belonging to the Su family approached. Su Gongquan, the head of the Su family, jumped down from the top and landed lightly on the bow of the ship.
"Senior Su."
The young man in white cupped his fists and raised his hands:
“We haven’t seen each other for several years, but my senior’s style remains the same.”
"Just kidding." Su Gongquan laughed:
"Su was a little surprised when he received the summons from the young master. He never thought that he would have arrived today."
"Yes!" The young man in white sighed:
"My clan brother Ji's fate sign was broken and he died here. His body has not been found yet. Jize's trip is to find his clan's body and bring it back."
"I am not familiar with the situation around Shicheng, so I would like to ask Senior Su for some advice."
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Su Gongquan stroked his beard and chuckled, sighing again:
"Mr. Ji Xian was extremely talented, and he was expected to reach that level. Unfortunately, he died here because of his carelessness. It is really sad."
"But according to the news we got, Zhang Bingzhong is also dead. In all likelihood, the two of them died together, which can be regarded as revenge for their father."
As for finding the body, the terrain around Shicheng was complicated, and the army searched without any clues and had no choice but to return. But this time someone from the Ji family would definitely have a way to find it.
Ji Ze smiled lightly.
There doesn't seem to be much emotion about the death of the clan brother. (End of chapter)
