rule 12

Chapter 9

Du Ming's heart was somewhat greedy, but he did not show it on his face.

Vientiane Tower had its own rules.

For Vientiane Tower, reputation was more important than anything else.

As a deacon, there were some things that he could not touch as he pleased.

Otherwise, he would face a very severe punishment.

Then he calmly removed the seal on the porcelain bottle and handed it over to Xia Wuji.

Xia Wuji took it and opened the bottle cap, a message automatically appeared in his mind: Yin Corpse Water, 100 drops.

He casually closed the bottle cap and put away the two things, then he took out a stack of banknotes and handed it over.

Six thousand taels, it was almost two years of rent for the 26 storefronts on Fairy Street.

He handed it all over in an instant.

Fortunately, after so many years, Xia Chenxiao had accumulated a lot of wealth for him, so his family's property was not emptied out.

Du Ming took the banknotes, he did not need to count them, his spiritual energy could tell how much they were.

Putting away the banknotes, he said, "Seeing that young master Xia is so straightforward, the following information can be considered a free gift."

Xia Wuji cupped his fists and said, "Then I'll thank deacon Du first."

Du Ming waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me first, I'll say it first, although this information is a gift, if there is any danger, I will not be responsible."

Xia Wuji nodded, "That's natural."

"Recently Blue Moon City has been haunted, and it's very fierce, you should know this." Du Ming said, "But actually, most of them are vengeful spirits. There aren't many evil spirits with real cultivation. Even if they do appear, they will eat the souls of humans and disappear very quickly, leaving no trace behind …"

Saying this, Du Ming paused.

He remembered that Xia Wuji's mother Lin Ru had her soul eaten by an evil spirit a month ago, this matter was known by many people.

Du Ming looked at Xia Wuji apologetically, "Uh, I didn't mean to mention this, please forgive me."

Xia Wuji slightly shook his head, his face was calm as he said, "It's fine, please continue."

Du Ming nodded and said, "Alright, I'll keep it short."

"According to our intelligence, in the dilapidated Taoist temple ten miles outside of the city, there are often vicious ghosts that appear. They are quite skilled, and they appear every full moon night. If you want to find evil spirits, that is the best place. "

The ten mile slope temple, the full moon night …..

Xia Wuji thoughtfully.

Today was the tenth, in other words, there were only five days until the full moon night.

In other words, if he wanted to find evil spirits, then he would have to wait five days later.

He stood up and cupped his fist with a sincere expression. "Thank you for telling me, Deacon Du."

"That's right, my maidservant was attacked by an evil spirit. I want to buy some warm and nourishing herbs to nourish her body."

The little girl had been attacked by evil spirits, her body was very weak, and she needed to be nourished.

Du Ming said, "That's easy to do. I'll ask Zhang Ning to get you a bottle of nourishing ointment to expel evil spirits. This is a special ointment made by our Vientiane Tower's pharmacists. It's very effective against evil spirits. "

Xia Wuji said, "Alright, give me ten bottles. How much is it?"

Du Ming was stunned, then smiled, "I don't need ten bottles. One bottle is enough. If it's too serious, I'll use two bottles at most."

"Young Master Xia is a regular customer of Vientiane Tower. These two bottles of nourishing ointment are a gift from Vientiane Tower to Young Master Xia, free of charge."

"Thank you very much."

Xia Wuji cupped his fists and said.

"Also, I need some martial arts techniques. Also, give me thirty … twenty Qi and Blood Pills."

Qi and Blood Pills cost a hundred taels of silver each. This was the price on the entire street.

He wanted to buy thirty more pills, but he only had two thousand three hundred taels of silver in his pocket, so he bought twenty.

The remaining three hundred taels of silver should be enough to buy two more martial arts techniques.

Unlike the expensive immortal cultivation techniques, as long as the martial arts techniques weren't too powerful, most of them were common goods that could be bought with a little money.

"Alright. I'll ask Zhang Ning to prepare them for you. "

Du Ming's face was full of smiles.

This was a good start early in the morning.

Xia Wuji went downstairs to choose a technique. In the end, he chose two of the better common goods among the many complicated low-level martial arts techniques in Vientiane Tower.

One was Iron Shirt, the other was Golden Bell Shield.

Both of them were defensive cultivation techniques.

Tiger Fist and Tiger Saber Technique were offensive techniques, but they didn't have defensive techniques.

Xia Wuji believed that compared to offense, defense was actually more important. First, you had to be able to withstand attacks. Only then would you have a chance to attack. Otherwise, if you were killed in one move, you wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.

With these two techniques, he could make up for his shortcomings.

The two techniques were very cheap. Du Ming gave them an internal price of ten taels of silver.

In fact, Xia Wuji knew that these things weren't valuable at all. They were all rubbings, and Vientiane Tower could print as many as they wanted.

After a while, Zhang Ning, the servant who welcomed him when he opened the door, brought over two secret techniques, two bottles of Evil Exorcism Nourishing Ointment, and a bottle of Qi and Blood Pills.

"The deacon said that Young Master Xia is a regular customer, so he gave you an extra Qi and Blood Pill."

Xia Wuji thanked him with a smile and walked out.

Du Ming stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back. He watched Xia Wuji walk out of the hall and into the street. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but curve.

Today was really a good day. He had a good income early in the morning.

However, there was an even bigger income to come.

Three days ago, someone saw Xia Chenxiao in the 10,000 Souls Territory thousands of miles away. It was confirmed that Old Master Xia was no longer human.

After this news was intercepted by Vientiane Tower, it was immediately monopolized for a month.

For many families in Blue Moon City, this news should be very valuable. It was even more so for the Liu family, who urgently needed to expand and become a big family.

"If I sell this news to the Liu family, and then sell them the news that Xia Wuji is about to enter the Ten-Mile Slope, this will definitely be a very good business."

Du Ming turned around and took out a piece of yellow paper from his Qiankun Bag. He drew a talisman on it and folded it into a paper crane.

His hands formed a seal, and the paper crane quickly burned. A spiritual light flashed from it, and then it quickly flew out of the window and disappeared into the distance.

A smile appeared on Du Ming's face. He didn't go out and just sat there drinking tea.

In less than an hour, someone came.

"Deacon, someone is looking for you."

The servant knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

Du Ming did not get up. He asked calmly and unhurriedly.

"It's me, Liu Xun."

The person at the door said.

"Oh, it's Lord Liu. What a rare guest. Please come in."

Du Ming stood up and opened the door personally. He welcomed the guest with a smile.

A young man in his late twenties stood in front of him. He had a dignified expression on his face.

It was the young master of the Liu family, Liu Xun, who had recently become the City Guard Commander by relying on his sister to become the City Lord's concubine.

Liu Xun also had a Spirit Root for Immortal Cultivation, but it was only a Grade Nine Spirit Root. It was a trash Spirit Root and could only be used for martial arts.

Fortunately, Young Master Liu was quite talented in martial arts. He was now a martial artist at the Third Firmament of the Viscera Refinement Realm. He was barely qualified to lead a group of Bone Tempering Realm City Guards and an early-stage Viscera Refinement Realm City Guard Captain.

Chapter 10

"I want to know about Xia Chenxiao."

Liu Xun went straight to the point as soon as he entered the door.

After receiving Du Ming's message, Liu Xun, who was having an intimate time with his beautiful wife at home, immediately rushed over.

"Five thousand taels of silver."

Du Ming said without hesitation.

Asking for five thousand taels of silver, Liu Xun frowned slightly.

This was not a small amount.

"Are you sure this information is worth five thousand taels of silver?"

Du Ming said with a smile, "It's more, not less."

Liu Xun looked straight at him.

A second later, he took out a stack of silver and put it on the table.

Du Ming reached out and checked it with his spiritual power.

The amount was just right, and the silver was real.

A smile appeared on Du Ming's face. He put away the banknotes and said with a smile, "Three days ago, our men saw Xia Chenxiao in the 10,000 Souls Territory. He became a starved ghost."

"A ghost servant!" Liu Xun's eyes lit up. "Is the news reliable?"

"Of course."

Du Ming said calmly.

"Good!"

Liu Xun subconsciously clenched his fists, excitement in his eyes.

In other words, it was confirmed that the Master of the Xia family, Xia Chenxiao, was dead!

This was indeed very exciting news.

With Xia Chenxiao's death, the 26 storefronts on Fairy Street could be bought. With the Liu family's current momentum in Blue Moon City, the Young Master of the Xia family had to sell them.

As for the price, it would definitely satisfy the Liu family.

"What about the second news?"

In the message, Du Ming mentioned that he had two pieces of news to tell him.

Du Ming smiled and stretched out five fingers. "Five thousand taels of silver."

Liu Xun's face twitched.

Another five thousand taels of silver!

Did the Liu family's silver grow on trees?

"Are you sure this second piece of information is also worth 5,000 taels?"

Du Ming smiled and then said indifferently, "You don't have to buy it. I think there will be a lot of people who want it. However, I can remind you that the second piece of information is related to the first piece of information. "

Liu Xun's eyes narrowed slightly as a trace of sharpness flashed through them.

This old thing actually dug a hole here.

Could it be that he was selling two pieces of information?

However, he did not dare to be impudent.

He wasn't afraid of Du Ming's strength.

Although Du Ming was a cultivator, he was only at the fifth level of the Qi Realm.

With his strength as a Third Firmament Viscera Refining Stage martial artist, he was completely unafraid of Du Ming in such a close combat situation. He could even cut down Du Ming with a single move.

He was afraid of the Vientiane Tower.

The Vientiane Tower was a giant that spanned across the entire country of Da Chu. Even the Mayor had to be courteous to them, not to mention the small Liu family.

And here, Du Ming represented the Vientiane Tower.

He didn't dare to be impudent.

He then took out another five thousand taels of silver and handed it over.

However, the hand he handed it over was slightly trembling.

The silver wasn't his own. It was given to him by the Mayor to buy training resources and various military equipment for the City Guard.

If this piece of information wasn't worth the money, then he would have suffered a great loss.

His annual salary in the City Guard was only three hundred taels of silver.

Of course, as the young master of the Liu family and the commander of the City Guard, he didn't care about the three hundred taels of silver. He cared about other things.

Du Ming took it and smiled faintly. He then said, "On the night of the full moon, the Young Master of the Xia family will appear at the Daoist temple ten miles away from the city."

"That's it? And then? "

Liu Xun asked in surprise.

"That's it, that's it. Is there anything else Young Master Liu wants? "

Du Ming said faintly.

Liu Xun heard Du Ming's unapproachable tone and even a hint of sarcasm. He was stunned.

Sarcasm?

What did he mean?

According to the normal professional ethics of the Vientiane Tower, he definitely wasn't sarcastically saying that the customer had spent too much money or had wasted money.

Then this sarcasm was …

Liu Xun thought for a moment and began to connect the two things together …

His eyes slowly lit up.

So that's it!

He actually didn't think of such a simple problem at first.

At that time, he was so focused on spending too much money that he forgot the true value of this piece of information.

After confirming that Xia Chenxiao was dead, the pillar of the Xia family was definitely gone.

Without the pillar of the Xia family, if they killed the Young Master of the Xia family, with the Liu family's relationship in the City Lord's Mansion, the 26 storefronts on Fairy Street would easily belong to the Liu family.

However, before that, they had to find a way to get the title deeds for the 26 storefronts of the Xia family.

With the title deeds, if the Young Master of the Xia family suddenly died, then they wouldn't have to pay the rest of the money. The Liu family would have spent a small amount of money to get the 26 storefronts.

However, this news had to be kept secret.

If everyone knew that the Xia family's Old Master had died, the Liu family might not have the chance to get so many properties from the Xia family.

The ten thousand taels of silver would have been wasted.

The most important thing now was to contact the Young Master of the Xia family as soon as possible and sign the purchase agreement.

As for the price, it was basically arbitrary. As long as the purchase agreement could be signed, the next step would be easy.

Of course, the premise was that the Vientiane Tower had to keep the death of Xia Chenxiao a secret and not let other families know.

"Deacon Du, today's matter still needs to be kept secret by the Vientiane Tower."

Liu Xun said.

Du Ming said with a solemn expression, "Mr. Liu, please rest assured. The Vientiane Tower is a business and always puts credibility first. This information will only be sold to the Liu family, but the information is only valid for 20 days. After 20 days, the Vientiane Tower will no longer have the responsibility to keep the information confidential."

Liu Xun nodded.

He knew that the Vientiane Tower's reputation was still very good.

It was unlike some underground black markets where the information would be sold as soon as the customer left.

Twenty days was more than enough time!

No, it would only take seven or even five days for the 26 storefronts on Fairy Street to all belong to the Liu family.

Liu Xun's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Then he said goodbye to Du Ming and left.

Of course, he also bought some tonics from the Vientiane Tower. It was as if he had come to buy them on purpose, so that no one could have any evidence against him.

After Liu Xun left, Du Ming went up to the third floor.

At the door of a room, he tidied up his clothes and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A gentle voice rang out.

Du Ming pushed the door open and entered. He gently closed the door and turned around.

The room was very simple, with a primary-colored wooden floor.

There were three landscape paintings hanging on the walls. The area left was very large and could be called extremely simple.

There was only a low table in the whole room.

Behind the low table sat an old man in a gray robe with white hair and beard, but his face was ruddy.

"The business is done?"

The old man, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and asked calmly.

"It's done."

Du Ming bowed and answered respectfully.

The old man seemed to have no cultivation, but only Du Ming knew how terrifying his strength was.

Chapter 11

As Du Ming spoke, he took out the banknotes from his storage bag, including the banknotes he had traded with Xia Wuji earlier. He respectfully held them with both hands, took a few steps forward, and placed them on the short table without missing a single cent.

The old man glanced at them and nodded.

"Well done."

"Thank you for your praise, Elder Guo! This is what I should do. "

Du Ming did not dare to claim credit for himself, and respectfully bowed and cupped his fist.

The old man looked at him and said, "Although the business was done, you have committed a great taboo."

Du Ming's heart trembled, and he hurriedly bowed and cupped his fist again, asking, "This one is slow-witted, please enlighten me, Elder Guo."

The old man calmly said, "The reason Vientiane Tower is able to flourish all over the Great Chu, and even has so many branches in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and has such an excellent reputation, is because we never mix too many personal feelings into our business. We treat everyone the same on the surface and on the inside."

"Although the Xia family is in dire straits, as long as they are not destroyed, they will be our customers."

"But after you learned of Xia Chenxiao's death, you clearly have different feelings toward the Young Master of the Xia family. I'm not the only one who can feel this. I suspect that even the Young Master of the Xia family can feel it."

"This is not desirable in business, and it is even more of a taboo in the operations of a large chain chamber of commerce like Vientiane Tower."

At this point, the old man's eyes suddenly turned sharp.

"You feel that the Young Master of the Xia family has no way out, but who can say for sure about the matters of the world?"

"In the past, the founder of our Vientiane Tower also faced a situation where he had no way out, but in the end, didn't he still create such a large family business?"

"In the past, the master of the Myriad Demon Sect, Mo Jingtian, obtained an opportunity when his entire family was wiped out and soared to the heavens. He slaughtered forty-three clans, a total of thirty-four thousand people, and established the Demon Extermination Path, unhindered in an era."

"Pine Sea Pavilion's Seven Absolutes Assassin, Fu Qingsong, Four Seas Academy's Azure Dragon Hall Master, Tan Qing, and Scholar Wind Garden's Zhang Xiaosheng. All those years ago, which one of them didn't obtain a new lease on life after facing a hopeless situation? From there, they obtained formidable strength and commanded an area."

"Ten years in the east, ten years in the west, ten years in the west. Aren't these examples enough?"

Du Ming's back was drenched in cold sweat as he listened.

Immediately, he knelt on the ground with a thud and said with an ashamed expression, "Old Guo, Du Ming knows he was wrong."

The old man's sharp eyes calmed down, and he said lightly: "Do you know that with your Eighth Rank Spirit Root, you can reach Mortal Realm Stage 10, and even have a chance to reach the Foundation Building Stage? Why are you still stuck at Mortal Realm Stage 5 after so many years?"

Du Ming's body suddenly trembled. He raised his head and looked at the old man. His eyes were fervent as he said earnestly, "Old Guo, please teach me!"

The old man nodded and said: "It's not that you don't have enough resources, and it's not that you don't have enough talent. It's just that you've entered too deep into the world."

"As cultivators, entering the world means leaving the world. However, the world of mortals is turbulent. You've entered too deep and can't extricate yourself. This has already blinded your spirituality. Cultivation is the cultivation of the heart. If your heart is stuck in a quagmire, you can't transcend worldly affairs. How can you transcend and become an immortal? "

The old man's words enlightened Du Ming.

"Thank you, Old Guo, for your advice!"

Then, he kowtowed to the old man and gave him a big bow.

The old man accepted it calmly, and then closed his eyes.

Du Ming stood up and carefully took a few steps back. He then opened the door, gently closed the door, and left.

In the room, Guo Shiqi opened his eyes and sighed slightly. He said to himself: "Managing a division, I still have to teach people how to cultivate their moral character. Sigh, being a division manager is really not easy."

Then, he picked up the stack of banknotes on the table and nodded in satisfaction.

"Business is already good early in the morning. Looks like today's harvest won't be bad either. If this continues, the Blue Moon City division's income for this month will surpass that of Old Man Li's Xiangling City …"

Thinking about the mid-year reward, Guo Shiqi was suddenly filled with anticipation.

With the Yuanyang Pill, there was hope for the Jin Dan Realm …

…

Coming out from the Vientiane Tower, the streets had already started to become lively.

Xia Wuji did not wander around. He went straight home.

When he got home, he saw Xia Hu chopping firewood in the kitchen yard. Qiu Yue was standing at the dining room door with her arms crossed, watching Xia Hu busying himself.

Other than her slightly pale face, she was completely fine.

"Qiu Yue, how are you?"

Xia Wuji asked with a smile.

"Young Master, you're back."

Xia Hu held an axe in one hand and a piece of wood in the other. He smiled and greeted Xia Wuji.

Yun Qingyao turned her head and looked at Xia Wuji with her watery eyes.

This was the Young Master of the previous body, Xia Wuji … He was quite good-looking.

However, if she knew that the Young Master in front of her had a pair of big, sinful hands grabbing her chest early in the morning, she wondered if she would still think that he was good-looking.

"Xia Wuji."

As soon as Yun Qingyao spoke, not only was Xia Wuji stunned, even Xia Hu was stunned.

"Little sister, what did you just say?"

Xia Hu stopped what he was doing, thinking that he had misheard.

"I said, Xia Wuji."

Yun Qingyao said again.

She knew that her words would definitely shock the two men at home.

However, she had no choice.

Although she had been reduced to the lowest rung of society after her rebirth, she was determined to start from the bottom and experience the world of mortals to hone her Dao Heart.

However, she would not become a slave.

From the moment she prepared to cultivate, her Dao Heart had been deeply planted.

Cultivators needed to control their own destiny. How could they become someone else's slave?

Not only that, she even needed to have her own name. She could not use the name of a servant like Qiu Yue.

Therefore, the first step was to change her identity.

"Nonsense! Is the Young Master's name something you can call? "

Xia Hu was infuriated.

"Kneel! Apologize to the Young Master! "

Xia Wuji waved his hand and said, "It's fine. We're family."

"That won't do! She must kneel and apologize! She was possessed by a ghost and her brain was muddled. How preposterous! "

Xia Hu's face was full of anger.

He put down the things in his hands and walked in front of Yun Qingyao. He stared at her and shouted, "Kneel!"

Yun Qingyao had already expected this.

She glanced at Xia Hu, then turned to look at Xia Wuji. She said seriously, "Young Master Xia, from today onwards, I will no longer be a slave."

Eh?

Xia Hu was stunned.

Could it be that this girl's brain was damaged after she was possessed?

He started to worry.

However, his face was still full of anger. He shouted angrily, "Xia Qiu Yue!!!"

"That year, the entire village was infected with the plague. If the Young Master and Madam hadn't passed by and dug us out from the pile of corpses, we would have died! Have you forgotten all about it? "

"Not only did the Young Master and Madam not despise us, they even brought us back to Blue Moon City. They even took us in, taught us how to read and write, and taught us cultivation techniques. However, today, you actually dared to say such disgraceful and ungrateful words. See if I don't beat you to death today! "

As he spoke, he raised his large hand and was about to slap Yun Qingyao's pretty little face.

Chapter 12

At this moment, Xia Wuji said, "Wait."

"Young Master! Don't protect her! "

Xia Hu suddenly turned to look at Xia Wuji.

Xia Wuji waved his hand and said, "You aren't slaves in the first place. How can you say you're leaving?"

Xia Hu and Yun Qingyao were both stunned by his words.

Xia Wuji continued, "To the outside world, you're just servants. But in fact, it was just to make it easier for you to be registered. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been given new names. Your real identities have never been servants, but relatives of the Xia family. "

He did remember that in order to register Xia Hu and his sister, his predecessor's mother, Lin Ru, had given a lot of money to the secretary in charge of household registration.

This was because if the siblings used their real identities, they wouldn't have been able to enter Blue Moon City. They would have been reduced to refugees and beggars.

In order to prevent people with ulterior motives from investigating, the secretary in charge of household registration had asked the Xia family to announce that the siblings were servants bought by the Xia family.

Therefore, all these years, Xia Hu and Qiu Yue had always thought of themselves as servants of the Xia family. They were slaves.

"Young Master!"

Xia Hu's eyes were red, and his heart was filled with shame.

"Young Master, you will always be my, Xia Hu's, young master. That will never change in this lifetime!"

Xia Hu said in a sonorous voice.

Xia Wuji smiled and nodded.

He looked at 'Qiu Yue' with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

From the beginning to the end, 'Qiu Yue' had been too calm. Moreover, it was very unusual for her to mention leaving her slave status at this time.

"Qiu Yue, I want to know why you suddenly mentioned this."

Xia Wuji asked.

Yun Qingyao was prepared. She said seriously, "My master told me to say this."

"Your master?"

Xia Hu and Xia Wuji were stunned. They looked at each other and said in unison.

A smile flashed across Yun Qingyao's eyes.

Everything was going according to her script.

"Yes, my master."

Yun Qingyao's small face tightened. She said very seriously, "And my master gave me a new name, Yun Qingyao."

"Change my name? Why? "

This time, it was Xia Hu who asked.

The name 'Xia Qiuyue' was given by Madam, and it was also recorded in the household register. How could she change it at will?

"Because I want to cultivate."

It seemed that Yun Qingyao wouldn't stop until she said something shocking.

"Immortal cultivation!"

Xia Wuji and Xia Hu both widened their eyes.

"You have Spirit Roots?"

Xia Wuji asked.

"Yes."

"What rank?"

"Ninth rank."

"…"

Xia Wuji was speechless, and so was Xia Hu.

A ninth rank Spirit Root could indeed cultivate, but it was only slightly better than a crippled Spirit Root. Even if one ate elixirs in their lifetime, they wouldn't be able to reach Foundation Establishment.

Without elixirs and immortal fate, they would only be able to reach the Third Heaven of Qi Realm.

It was almost the same as a crippled Spirit Root.

"Don't look down on my Spirit Root. My master said that my Spirit Root is special and can be improved."

Yun Qingyao continued to bluff with a proud face.

"Spirit Root can be improved? Never heard of it. Your master can't be a fake one, right? "

Xia Wuji said with a smile.

Xia Hu also had a look of disbelief. He didn't believe that his sister had a master.

"Never heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

Yun Qingyao lifted her delicate chin and continued to pretend to be proud.

"I know you don't believe that I have a master. My master already predicted this, so he prepared some benefits for you."

"There are benefits?"

Xia Wuji laughed. He obviously didn't believe it.

"What benefits?"

Yun Qingyao's eyes revealed a trace of a smile and said: "The benefit is that he will give each of you a Martial Art."

"Oh?"

Xia Wuji was surprised. He turned to look at Xia Hu. Xia Hu was also looking at him. Both of them saw the suspicion in each other's eyes.

Yun Qingyao didn't beat around the bush and directly said to Xia Hu: "Brother, squat down."

Although she didn't want to be a servant, she wouldn't refuse to acknowledge her brother.

She also wouldn't leave this family.

At least for now.

Xia Hu, who was as tall as an iron tower, didn't know what was going on, but he still obediently squatted down.

Yun Qingyao stretched out her small hand and touched Xia Hu's forehead. Using what little of her Divine Sense she had, she passed a Martial Art into his mind.

Although she was reborn as a mortal, she still retained a trace of her Divine Sense. This was a blessing in disguise.

Otherwise, no matter how many Martial Arts there were in her mind, she wouldn't be able to pass it on.

Moreover, there were too many places where she would need to use her Divine Sense in the future.

This could be regarded as her last bit of reliance, and it was also her biggest reliance at the moment.

Unfortunately, this trace of Divine Sense was too weak. When she closed her eyes, she could at most explore an area of one foot around her.

However, one shouldn't underestimate this one foot area. Within this one foot area, Yun Qingyao could display her strongest Divine Sense attack. Although she wasn't sure what level it could reach for the time being, at least Jin Dan Realm cultivators couldn't get close. As long as they entered this one foot area, they would be killed by her in one blow.

Of course, the prerequisite was that the other party had to enter this one foot area.

There probably wouldn't be many opportunities like this.

The Martial Art Yun Qingyao gave to Xia Hu was called the "Giant Spirit Swallowing Sky Secret Manual". This was a Martial Art for Body Refining. This was a Martial Art that she found in the depths of her memory that could be cultivated by mortals. This Martial Art was very compatible with Xia Hu's physique.

Xia Hu never thought that his sister would really give him a Martial Art. Moreover, this Martial Art was extremely profound. He didn't know what level it was. He only knew that the higher levels of the Martial Art had been sealed. Otherwise, his mind wouldn't be able to store such a huge amount of knowledge.

After a long while, Xia Hu opened his eyes after digesting it. He looked at Yun Qingyao with surprise and joy. He turned to look at Xia Wuji.

"Young Master, it's true! The Martial Art that little sister gave me is a Body Refining Martial Art, and it seems to be very powerful. "

"There really is a Martial Art?"

Xia Wuji was shocked.

He looked at Yun Qingyao, sizing her up.

Could it be that she had a "Grandpa Ring"?

But this girl didn't have a ring on her hand, nor did she have a jade pendant around her neck.

"Where is your master?"

Xia Wuji asked.

"I don't know."

Yun Qingyao shook her head.

She didn't have a master. That was made up by her. The real master was herself.

"Is your master male or female?"

"Female."

"Oh."

Xia Wuji nodded slightly, seemingly relieved.

Yun Qingyao saw this and smiled. She walked in front of Xia Wuji and said, "Give me your hand."

Xia Wuji didn't know what was going on, so he gave her his hand.

Yun Qingyao didn't hold his hand. Instead, she gently pressed a finger against his palm. She closed her eyes, and her divine sense silently entered Xia Wuji's body …

"Eh? Vitality is surging. There are signs of Vitality perfection. "

Yun Qingyao was slightly surprised.

According to her memory, this young master's talent in martial arts had always been terrible. After eight years of cultivation, he was only at the third Firmament of the Vitality realm. But now, he had reached the peak of the Vitality realm. He just needed to settle down and he would reach perfection.

Could it be that Xia Wuji ate some kind of pill left behind by his parents, allowing him to break through the shackles and reach the peak of the Vitality realm?

Chapter 13

However, she did not care too much about it.

No matter how strong he was, he was only in the Qi and Blood realm. Martial arts had just started.

"However, this physique …"

Yun Qingyao opened her eyes and said regretfully, "You really have a Five Elements Useless Physique. You don't have a Spiritual Root at all."

Xia Wuji raised his eyebrows and smiled at the beautiful but pale little girl in front of him. "Didn't everyone already know? What's so strange about it?"

Yun Qingyao looked at him and shook her head. "You don't have a Spiritual Root at all. I can't give you the technique that I gave to Xia Hu because you can't practice it at all."

Seeing Xia Wuji's confusion, Yun Qingyao explained, "My master said that Xia Hu's physique is special. It's a Barbarian Physique. He also has a Spiritual Root, a rare hidden Spiritual Root. It will improve as his cultivation improves."

"So he can walk the path of physical cultivation, but you can only walk the path of martial arts."

"My master said that unlike immortal cultivators who use their spiritual senses to activate the energy of heaven and earth to form a cycle inside and outside the body, martial arts cultivation requires continuous tempering of the body to produce internal Qi. Using the Qi to nourish the body and the body to nourish the Qi, it goes through an internal cycle. Finally, it forms an inner world and finally enters the path of martial arts."

"But my master also said that it's easier said than done to enter the Dao through martial arts."

At this point, Yun Qingyao changed the topic and said with a smile, "But don't worry. With me around, all of this will not be a problem." My master is really a god. He has long seen that your physique is different. There is a cultivation method that is very suitable for you. It is called the 'Nine Transformations of the Divine Hammer'. My master said that I can also cultivate this cultivation method. It can continuously temper the body, allowing the body to transform nine times in each realm. "

As she spoke, she tapped Xia Wuji's forehead with her small hand and transmitted the Nine Changes of the Divine Hammer into Xia Wuji's mind …

Nine Changes of the Divine Hammer: Visualize 360 divine hammers in the mind and temper the body in all aspects. In theory, it can transform the body nine times. "

Xia Wuji did not move. He closed his eyes as if he was in a daze.

At this moment, his consciousness was in the space of black fog. Looking at the words in front of him, he was shocked.

[Cultivation Method: Divine Hammer Nine Transformations (Deducable)]

Such a powerful technique could actually be deduced again!

If it was deduced, what kind of cultivation technique would it be?

Xia Wuji knew that no matter what the derivation was, there was one thing that was definitely more suitable for his cultivation.

Glancing at the green airflow in the black cauldron, he did not hesitate to click on "Deduce".

Buzz …

The skill "Nine Transformations of the Divine Hammer" began to be deduced quickly. The green gas quickly decreased and finally disappeared.

A mysterious feeling surged into his mind.

Xia Wuji felt as if he was situated in a vast, fiery red starry sky. To his surprise, he discovered that the countless stars in the starry sky were actually the dense and dense energy of Qi and blood in his body …

[Thirty-six Starry Transformations]: Visualize the stars in the sky, turn every drop of Qi and blood in the body into a star, and use the star as a hammer to carry out a Grand Circulatory Cycle, bombarding and tempering the body from all aspects, allowing the body to transform thirty-six times in every small realm, reaching perfection.

Visualize all the particles of Qi and blood in the body into the stars in the sky. How was this possible?

Xia Wuji gasped. With his Divine Soul, he should not be able to do it at all.

However, he found that he could do it easily. He felt that it was extremely absurd.

However, the truth was right in front of him. He had to believe it.

In each minor realm, he would transform his body thirty-six times, allowing his body to reach perfection!

This was even more heaven-defying!

Was the deduced "Thirty-six Changes of the Stars" really so powerful?

Xia Wuji thought in shock.

Whether it was really powerful or not, he would know once he tried it.

However, this was not the place to test it.

If the siblings knew that he had deduced an originally awesome cultivation method to a heaven-defying cultivation method that even he himself was not sure of, they would probably be scared to death.

Of course, they would not be scared to death. However, they would definitely think that he was a monster and would even be suspicious of him.

This was not what he wanted.

However, Qiu Yue had done him a huge favor by giving him this cultivation method.

Such a favor could only be repaid in the future.

"Mm, this cultivation method is not bad. I'll go back and practice it."

Xia Wuji said casually.

"Oh, right. The ghost in your body has just been removed. Your body is still weak, so I bought you two bottles of Evil Expelling Nourishing Ointment to nourish your body."

As he spoke, he took out the two bottles and walked to the dining table to put them down.

He turned to look at Yun Qingyao's delicate little face and said with a smile, "I agree to change your name."

"Young Master, you can't! This name was given by Madam herself. It has already been registered in Blue Moon City … "

Xia Hu hurriedly said.

Xia Wuji waved his hand and said, "Don't make such a fuss. The name is just a code name. Since Qiu Yue … Oh no, Yun …"

"Yun Qingyao."

Yun Qingyao hurriedly said.

"Mm, yes, Yun Qingyao." Xia Wuji nodded. "Since Yun … Qingyao is willing, then let's call her that. Also, I think this name sounds pretty good. Mm … Extraordinary."

Being praised by Xia Wuji, Yun Qingyao's little face instantly lit up with a smile.

"Thank you!"

"Mm, since you don't want to call me Young Master anymore, you can call me Big Brother Xia, Xia Wuji, Wuji, Brother Wuji. You can call me whatever you like."

Xia Wuji said with a smile.

"Young Master, how can this be!"

Xia Hu hurriedly said.

"You can too. Be casual. We are family."

Xia Wuji waved his hand.

"No, I will always call you Young Master. You are Xia Hu's Young Master. You will always be!"

Xia Hu's tiger-like eyes were filled with tears.

"Don't cry like a girl. What do you think you look like?"

Xia Wuji glanced at him and said.

However, he felt warm in his heart. "Rinse the Evil Expelling Nourishing Ointment with warm water and give it to Qingyao. I'm going to cultivate. Don't disturb me if there's nothing."

With that, he turned and left.

"Yes, Young Master."

Xia Hu wiped the corners of his eyes and replied.

"Thank you … Brother Wuji."

Yun Qingyao called out softly from behind.

Xia Wuji, who had walked to the entrance of the courtyard, stopped in his tracks. With a smile on his face, he went straight back to his room.

Yun Qingyao heaved a sigh of relief. The problem had been solved perfectly.

Although their identities had changed, they were still family. This was good for getting along and for the subsequent implementation of her plan.

Back in his room, Xia Wuji could not wait to verify the newly deduced Thirty-six Star Transformations.

If it was really according to the deduced cultivation method, it could allow the physical body to transform thirty-six times in every small realm. That would be too terrifying.

He took a deep breath and calmed his mind. He closed his eyes and began to circulate the cultivation method according to the Thirty-six Star Transformations.

Almost instantly, he visualized the heavenly cycle of stars. It was as if it was not a visualization, but the qi and blood in his body were the heavenly cycle of stars.

Chapter 14

As soon as he activated the technique, the stars in the sky that he visualized immediately moved.

Xia Wuji felt as if countless stars were hitting his body, tempering every part of his body. Whether it was his bones, his internal organs, his muscles, or his skin, there was not a single part of his body that was not hit by the stars.

Rumble …

A thunderous sound came from his body.

After a full cycle, Zhang Xuan's body shuddered.

It had transformed!

His body became more compact and strong, and a powerful force was born from within.

Xia Wuji was surprised and delighted.

This deduced cultivation technique was indeed awesome! It was extremely awesome!

His cultivation level did not change, but his strength had changed and became more powerful.

Continue!

After the second cycle, his body transformed again and his strength increased.

After the third cycle, his body continued to transform …

After the fourth cycle, his body transformed …

After the fifth cycle …

…

Metamorphosis, metamorphosis, metamorphosis …

…

After the 36th cycle, there was a soft sound and his body shook slightly.

Finally, the Thirty-six Star Transformations stopped circulating.

Xia Wuji opened his eyes, and his face was full of surprise.

His body had transformed a total of thirty-six times!

At the beginning, the transformation was huge, but at the end, it became smaller and smaller. It was obvious that the transformation of the body in this realm had reached its limit.

He felt that his current body was as flawless as jade and was extremely powerful.

His every move had a powerful force. He felt that he could even kill an ordinary peak Bone Tempering cultivator with one punch.

More importantly, after his body transformed thirty-six times, the Qi and blood in his body had reached the point where he could move and breathe with a thought.

In other words, as long as he had Green Qi, he could level up again.

"This Thirty-six Star Transformations … is really awesome! It's the best aid for cultivating the body! "

Xia Wuji sighed sincerely.

With the Thirty-six Star Transformations, he was more confident in his martial arts cultivation.

Next was to break through and enter the Bone Tempering Realm.

However, before entering the Bone Tempering Realm, he was prepared to cultivate the Iron Shirt.

Both the Iron Shirt and the Golden Bell Shield were defensive martial arts. However, the Iron Shirt could be cultivated from the Blood Qi Realm, while the Golden Bell Shield could be cultivated from the Bone Tempering Realm.

From the starting requirements, it could be seen that the Golden Bell Shield was stronger than the Iron Cloth.

But for immortal cultivators, these martial arts that were even harder to cultivate than spells were all trash. Even the most common Qi Refining stage cultivator would be crippled by a single spell.

Xia Wuji naturally knew about this, but he didn't care.

With the Azure Qi produced by the black cauldron, he could bring any kind of martial arts to greater heights.

It was hard to say who would cripple who in the future.

He took out the Iron Shirt and Golden Bell Canopy and started to read the Iron Shirt.

The Iron Shirt was a thin book, but it covered a lot of things. In addition to martial arts, it also covered medicinal baths and medicinal tonics, which took up a lot of space.

To Xia Wuji, he could use Green Qi to directly improve his martial arts. Medicinal baths and supplements could basically be ignored.

With his foundation in the perfected Qi and Blood realm, he was able to master the Iron Shirt very quickly.

However, at this moment, the green qi within the black cauldron had already been exhausted.

He took out the Vitality Pill.

One by one, the Qi and Blood Pills were sucked into the black cauldron and quickly turned into green gas.

At this moment, Xia Wuji paused.

He withdrew his consciousness from the black foggy space and exchanged the Qi and Blood Pills for Spirit Stones.

When the Spirit Stones entered the black cauldron and were refined into green gas, Xia Wuji, whose consciousness entered the black foggy space again, discovered that a piece of inferior-grade Spirit Stone was equivalent to seven to eight Qi and Blood Pills.

"A piece of inferior-grade Spirit Stone is 500 taels of silver, while a Qi and Blood Pill is 100 taels of silver. With the same value, using Qi and Blood Pills is far less cost-effective than using inferior-grade Spirit Stones."

At this thought, Xia Wuji regretted buying too many Qi and Blood Pills.

However, since he had already bought them, he would know next time. He could just exchange the banknotes for Spirit Stones.

Without hesitation, his consciousness left the black foggy space and took out all the Spirit Stones and Blood Pills to refine.

Then, his consciousness entered the black foggy space again.

When he saw the Azure Qi in the black cauldron, he realized how much Qi and Blood the Blood Dragon Jade contained.

The Azure Qi refined from 16 Spirit Stones and 20 Qi and Blood Pills was not even one-thirtieth of the Blood Dragon Jade's Qi and Blood Pills.

"No wonder my cheapskate father and predecessor couldn't make any progress after so many years. It's very likely that most of the Qi and Blood had been devoured by the Blood Dragon Jade …"

Xia Wuji shook his head.

With a thought, two rows of words appeared.

[Martial Arts: Iron Shirt]

[Status: Beginner (Upgradeable)]

He tapped it casually and upgraded it!

The Azure Qi decreased …

Boom!

His skin changed rapidly as if it had been petrified and became extremely hard.

Iron Shirt level one … level two … level three …

His skin became harder and harder. As the levels of the Iron Shirt increased, his skin began to soften.

Xia Wuji knew that this meant that his defense was extremely strong. It would not be an exaggeration to say that his skin was as hard as iron or copper.

However, he was still a distance away from being invulnerable.

It could improve his cultivation.

To cultivate the Iron Shirt, one not only needed to temper their skin and flesh, but also their bones. Only when one's cultivation reached the Bone Tempering Realm could he continue cultivating.

He tapped it and upgraded it.

Boom!

His Qi and Blood boiled and surged, washing through his bones.

After a while, his body shook.

Level one of the Bone Tempering Realm!

Without any delay, Xia Wuji began to visualize the stars and cultivate the Thirty-six Star Transformations …

Although the transformation was not big, the increase in strength was huge.

He continued to cultivate the Iron Shirt.

Perhaps because his body had gone through thirty-six transformations, cultivating the Iron Shirt did not consume too much Azure Qi. There was still a lot of Azure Qi left.

He entered the fourth level of the Iron Shirt.

Then, he upgraded it again.

The Iron Shirt and cultivation realm were upgraded alternately. During this time, he did not forget to cultivate the Thirty-six Star Transformations. His physical strength improved by leaps and bounds …

In the end, the Iron Skin Technique was upgraded to perfection and reached the sixth level, Invulnerable Realm.

With a thought, his Qi and Blood surged. Not only his skin, but even his clothes were extremely hard.

His cultivation realm had reached level three of the Bone Tempering Realm.

Although the realm was not high, Xia Wuji was extremely satisfied.

At this moment, all the Azure Qi had been consumed.

He looked at the panel again.

[Cultivation Method: Dragon Tiger Skill]

[Realm: Level three of the Bone Tempering Realm (Upgradeable)]

[Martial Arts: Iron Shirt]

[Status: Invulnerable (Perfection)]

[Martial Arts: Tiger Fist]

[Status: Level five (Tiger Might Kill, Upgradeable)]

[Saber Technique: Tiger Saber Technique]

[Status: Level five (Tiger Might Kill, Upgradeable)]

[Cultivation Method: Thirty-six Star Transformations (Perfection)]

[First Clone: Ghost King (Uncondensed). After condensing, it can form a ghost realm ()]

[Materials required for condensing: Ghost Blood, Yin Corpse Water, Soul-breaking Grass]

[Ability: Scare (Pull the opponent into the ghost realm and form a psychological scare. If it is a ghost or vengeful spirit, it will be directly devoured by the Ghost King to increase the Ghost King's cultivation)]

It felt good to upgrade all the way, but it was a pity that the Azure Qi was used up.

Xia Wuji still wanted to continue cultivating, so he withdrew from his cultivation.

Chapter 15

Xia Wuji patted his Qiankun bag and sighed, "It's great to raise my cultivation, but I have to think of a way to earn money."

His pockets were so poor that they were jingling.

Almost all of his belongings were used to raise his cultivation.

It wouldn't be easy for him to raise his cultivation again.

It was common knowledge that the higher one's cultivation, the more resources they would need.

If he were to raise his cultivation as fast as before, he would need to obtain a large amount of money or resources in a short period of time.

He walked out of his room and started practicing his saber technique in the courtyard.

Even though his saber technique had reached the Tiger Might Kill, he hadn't used it outside yet.

However, he didn't feel any sense of unfamiliarity as he held the thick machete.

He gathered his Qi, sucked in his abdomen, and looked straight ahead. An invisible force rose, and the thick saber slashed forward.

Tiger Might Kill!

Swish —

Saber Qi shot out instantly, and a slender crack about ten feet long appeared on the bluestone ground.

Xia Wuji was very satisfied.

His strength was several times stronger than the Qi and Blood realm.

With his current strength, he could even kill a Viscera Refinement realm cultivator with one slash.

Then, he started practicing his basic saber technique.

No matter how strong a saber technique was, it was still evolved from the basic saber techniques.

As the saying goes, "After practicing the saber ten thousand times, its meaning will be revealed."

Horizontal, slash, chop, cut, sweep, lift …

Xia Wuji meticulously practiced his basic saber technique in the courtyard.

"Hahaha, Brother Wuji, I'm here to see you."

A hearty voice came from outside Xia family's gate.

Xia Wuji, who was practicing his fist technique, was slightly startled.

Who was this? He immediately searched his memory …

Zhao Chuan, twenty years old this year, the second son of the Zhao family. It was said that he had a ninth-grade spirit root.

However, having a ninth-grade spirit root wasn't much different from having no spirit root. It was equivalent to having a trash spirit root, and basically having no hope of cultivating.

The Zhao family and the Xia family were both cultivation families.

The ancestor of the Zhao family was a cultivator who had reached the eighth level of the Qi Realm. Unfortunately, he didn't have much time left.

However, the second daughter of the Zhao family, Zhao Xueyan, had a seventh-grade spirit root and was said to be at the sixth level of the Qi Realm.

It was said that Zhao Xueyan had an eighty percent chance of reaching Foundation Establishment.

If Zhao Xueyan could build her foundation, the Zhao Clan's status in Blue Moon City would take a huge leap.

Therefore, in Blue Moon City, although it couldn't be compared to the Chen Family, Wang Family, Han Family, and Xiao Family, the Zhao Family's status in Blue Moon City wasn't low. At the very least, it could be considered a mid-tier family.

Compared to the Liu family who relied on Miss Liu to become the City Lord's concubine, they were much better off.

However, unlike the Xia family, which had few members, the Zhao family was thriving.

There were four siblings in Zhao Chuan's bloodline. Zhao Xueyan was his second sister. There was an elder brother and an elder sister above him. Zhao Chuan was actually the fourth child.

"Why is this guy here?"

Xia Wuji was slightly taken aback.

Although the two families used to have dealings with each other, they had decreased ever since Xia Chenxiao went missing.

Ever since Lin Ru's death, the Zhao family's attitude towards him had obviously become much colder.

According to the memories of his predecessor, ten days ago, Zhao Chuan suddenly proposed to him that he wanted to buy the shops on Fairy Street.

However, the price was simply ridiculously low. The Zhao family was only willing to pay twenty thousand taels of silver for the twenty-six shops.

At that time, his predecessor didn't even think about it and rejected it.

Since Xia Chenxiao went missing for a year and Lin Ru's sudden death didn't return, the number of families eyeing the Xia family's twenty-six shops on Fairy Street increased.

Therefore, his predecessor wasn't afraid of offending Zhao Chuan.

Why did this guy suddenly pay a visit today? Could it be that he still couldn't forget about those shops …?

While he was thinking to himself, there was a flurry of footsteps outside the door.

Obviously, it wasn't just one person, but a group of people.

"What are you doing? I haven't even informed the Young Master yet. Why are you barging in? "

Xia Hu's rough voice sounded.

"Inform? Hahaha, your house is only so big. Everyone can hear me. What's the point of informing? "

Zhao Chuan laughed loudly, seemingly unscrupulous.

Xia Wuji opened the courtyard door and saw Zhao Chuan leading three people in with their heads held high and their chests puffed out.

One of them was a middle-aged man with a strong aura and two servants in their twenties.

Judging from their auras, the middle-aged man was at least in the Viscera Refining realm. As for the two servants, although they seemed to have an extraordinary aura, they were at most in the early stage of the Bone Tempering realm.

As for Zhao Chuan, this kid was the same as his predecessor. He was a dabbler in martial arts, but he was slightly better than his predecessor. At the age of twenty, he had finally reached the seventh level of the Qi and Blood realm.

"Hahaha, Brother Wuji is indeed at home. I'm sorry to have disturbed you. Please forgive me."

Zhao Chuan cupped his fists and laughed at Xia Wuji as he walked.

However, he didn't look apologetic at all. His expression was more like the owner of the house who came to collect the house with a bunch of keys.

"So it's Brother Zhao. What brings you to my humble abode today?"

Xia Wuji said with a smile.

"Haha, nothing much. I just came to see if you're dead."

Zhao Chuan laughed heartily.

A strange look flashed across his eyes.

Wasn't his house haunted? However, this kid's spirit seemed to be much better than a few days ago.

Could it be that the ghost didn't do anything to him?

Xia Wuji blinked and smiled. "You saw it?"

"Yes, I saw it. Your house is haunted and you're still alive. Brother Wuji is indeed blessed."

Zhao Chuan sized up Xia Wuji and nodded seriously. "However, I heard that your Little Qiu Yue was haunted by evil spirits. I wonder how she is now?"

"She's fine. You don't have to worry about her, Brother Zhao."

Xia Wuji said lightly.

"Mm, that's good." Zhao Chuan changed the topic and looked around. He frowned slightly and said, "I don't want to say this, but Brother Wuji, the Yin Qi in your house is a little heavy. We need to get someone to perform a ritual quickly. "

Xia Wuji shook his head. "Forget it. Blue Moon City has been haunted recently. The immortals are too busy to handle it. How would they have time to perform a ritual? Moreover, the price to get an immortal to perform a ritual is not small. "

Zhao Chuan nodded deeply. "That's true. Two days ago, the Sun family was haunted. We spent a total of thirty thousand taels of silver to get an immortal to perform a ritual. "

"Your auntie has just passed away, and your uncle is nowhere to be found. We can't even afford a religious ceremony with that little bit of rent."

"However, let me tell you, this ritual must be performed. You can't be stingy with money. If you lose your life, no amount of money will be of no use. Don't you think so?"

"Why don't you sell the twenty or so shops on Fairy Street to me? I won't let you suffer a loss. One price, one hundred thousand taels of silver. What do you think?"

Xia Wuji narrowed his eyes.

Although Zhao Chuan didn't say it explicitly, he was basically telling him that the haunting in his house had something to do with him.

Was this a disguised threat?!

Chapter 16

Everyone kicks a man when he's down. These people would do anything for that little bit of benefit!

They were just short of poisoning or killing someone.

Friendship was not worth mentioning in the face of benefits.

Xia Wuji suspected that the death of his mother, Lin Ru, after her soul was devoured by an evil spirit, was also caused by someone.

Unfortunately, although he thought of it, he did not have any evidence.

What he couldn't figure out was how Zhao Chuan was able to control ghosts.

At this moment, Zhao Chuan suddenly saw Yun Qingyao, who was passing by the side room, and his eyes lit up.

"Eh? Little Qiuyue, I haven't seen you for a few days and you've become prettier! "

Although Yun Qingyao's clothes were plain, she exuded an otherworldly aura. This surprised Zhao Chuan and even made him envious.

It would be perfect if he could bring such a beautiful girl back to his house.

Yun Qingyao turned to look at him, then ignored him and turned to enter the room.

"Hey, hey, Little Qiuyue, don't go."

Zhao Chuan hurriedly shouted from behind.

As he spoke, he actually strode towards the side room.

Xia Wuji's face instantly darkened, and a fierce look flashed across his eyes.

"Big Tiger, break his legs!"

"Yes! Young Master. "

Dahu had long found Zhao Chuan an eyesore.

He was big, but he was not stupid.

He had already understood the meaning behind Zhao Chuan's words. The haunting of the Xia family was probably Zhao Chuan's doing.

His goal was to steal the twenty-something storefronts of the Xia family in the bustling area.

As for whether or not this would destroy the Xia Family, he didn't care.

Ever since Old Master went missing, these people had been pressuring the Xia family. Even Zhao Chuan, who had always been Young Master's brother, was the same. How despicable!

That was fine, but he did not expect him to be so bold as to be so lecherous in broad daylight.

Xia Hu rushed towards Zhao Chuan without hesitation.

Zhao Chuan did not dodge at all. He looked at Xia Hu with disdain.

At this moment, the middle-aged man behind Zhao Chuan took a step forward. His blood vitality surged as he threw a punch at Xia Hu.

Xia Hu's face was filled with hostility. His shiny head shone under the sun. He took a step forward and threw a punch at the middle-aged man's fist without hesitation.

He was big and strong.

Although he was only at the fifth level of the Bone Tempering Stage, his strength was shocking.

The two fists collided!

Bang!

In the end, Xia Hu lost in terms of cultivation. Thump, thump, thump. He took three steps back and directly retreated to Xia Wuji's side.

However, the middle-aged man didn't move an inch.

However, a look of shock flashed across his eyes.

Although it was only one punch, he immediately probed Xia Hu's cultivation strength.

Bone Tempering Stage Fifth Firmament.

One had to know that he was already at the fifth level of the Viscera Refining Stage, yet this bald brat could only take three steps back under 70% of his strength.

This strength was comparable to an ordinary Third Firmament Viscera Refining Stage martial artist.

What a guy! He had always heard that this bald brat from the Xia family had great strength and was born with brute force. Seeing it today, it was indeed extraordinary.

Xia Hu's eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

Just as he was about to attack again, Xia Wuji grabbed him and said, "Let me do it."

Xia Hu was stunned. Just as he was about to refuse, a huge force came from his arm. His heart jumped and he was pleasantly surprised.

Young Master's strength was so great!

Even with his full strength, he couldn't break free.

Young Master must have broken through!

To have such strength right after breaking through, the cultivation method that his sister taught him was indeed powerful. It should be the most suitable for Young Master!

Zhao Chuan, who was about to walk to the side room, stopped when he heard this. He looked at Xia Wuji as if he was looking at an idiot.

He then turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Zhao Long, don't kill him."

"Yes, Second Young Master."

The middle-aged man nodded.

This guy is called Zhao Long?

Xia Wuji coldly snorted.

What a waste of such a good name!

Xia Wuji turned around and clenched his fists. Without looking back, he said to Xia Hu, "Remember, when dealing with this kind of person, you must use violence to curb violence! Watch how this Young Master deals with him. "

"Mm."

Xia Hu nodded seriously.

Zhao Long found it funny.

This Young Master of the Xia family was a famous piece of trash. He had only reached the third level of the Qi Blood realm after eight years of cultivation.

Other than this Second Young Master of the Zhao family who was the second piece of trash, the Young Master of the Xia family was the number one piece of trash.

This wasn't a secret in the entire Blue Moon City.

And now, this guy wanted to use violence to curb violence against a Viscera Refining realm martial artist?

Zhao Long seriously suspected that this guy's brain was damaged after being invaded by ghosts. Otherwise, no one would say such ridiculous words with such a serious face.

At this moment, he saw Xia Wuji striding towards him. He walked straight to him and suddenly punched him in the face.

A mocking smile appeared on Zhao Long's face. He raised his hand and grabbed Xia Wuji's fist at lightning speed.

Second Young Master Zhao Chuan said not to kill him, but he didn't say not to hurt him.

With his strength, he could instantly crush this Young Master of the Xia family's fist or even crush it into powder.

But at this moment, Xia Wuji's fist suddenly opened. A white powder came out of his palm and flew towards Zhao Long's face.

The distance was too close. Caught off guard, the white powder entered his eyes.

"Ah — —"

A shrill scream came out of Zhao Long's mouth.

However, the moment he screamed, the white powder in Xia Wuji's hand entered his mouth again and went deep into his throat.

"Wuwuwu ~ Ah ~ Urgh ~"

Zhao Long quickly retreated, but Xia Wuji kicked him in the stomach and sent him flying.

Zhao Chuan and his two servants were dumbfounded.

This …

They were shocked when they smelled the lime powder in the air.

Zhao Long was defeated!

Defeated by Xia Wuji's lime powder!

Shameless! No martial virtues!

Xia Hu was also shocked, but then his eyes lit up.

So, this was using violence to curb violence!

Young Master is really sinister … But I like it!

Without needing Xia Wuji to teach him what to do, Xia Hu immediately rushed forward and punched Zhao Chuan's two servants to the ground. Then, he gave Zhao Chuan a good beating.

"Ah ~ Ah ~ Don't hit me, don't hit my face ~ I surrender ~ Have mercy ~ Ah ~ Ah ~"

Zhao Chuan kept screaming.

As for Zhao Long, he kept wailing on the ground.

If his eyes were not treated in time, they would be completely destroyed.

Xia Wuji walked in front of Zhao Long, lifted his foot, and then stepped on his thigh.

With a cracking sound, the thigh bone and the pubis were crushed by his foot.

"Ah ~"

Zhao Long screamed, his body curled up, and his face was full of fear.

Seeing his young master's ferocity, Xia Hu naturally did not want to fall behind. He gave Zhao Chuan a good beating. Zhao Chuan cried and screamed.

"Forget it, don't beat him to death. Our Xia family has always been benevolent. "

Xia Wuji said.

"Yes, young master."

Only then did Xia Hu stop.

Xia Wuji ignored Zhao Long, walked in front of Zhao Chuan, and asked condescendingly, "Brother Zhao, I want to know how you control ghosts?"

"Wu wu wu, I don't!"

Zhao Chuan denied.

He knew very well that once he admitted, he might lose his life here.

And the Zhao family would also get into trouble.

Some things in Blue Moon City can only be understood, but not explained.

So, he would not admit it even if he was beaten to death.

Xia Wuji frowned slightly. From Zhao Chuan's expression, he knew that he would definitely not say it.

He couldn't really beat him to death here. If he wanted to kill him, it would be somewhere else.

Then, he waved his hand.

Xia Hu understood and immediately shouted at Zhao Chuan, who was paralyzed on the ground, "Why aren't you leaving? Do you want to stay in our house for lunch? "

Zhao Chuan's head was rapidly swelling. His skin was shiny, his eyes were like a panda's, his whole body was bruised, and his thigh was in pain.

Seeing the murderous look in Xia Hu's eyes, his eyes were full of fear. He shouted to the two servants, "Help me up, let's go!"

The two covered their chests and hurriedly got up. Under Xia Hu's fierce gaze, one carried the second young master on his back, and the other carried Zhao Long on his back, and quickly left.

From afar, Zhao Chuan's muffled roar could be heard, "Be gentle, you're hurting me!"

Chapter 17

"Young Master, we beat up Zhao Chuan. The Zhao family won't retaliate, will they?"

Xia Hu asked.

"They will definitely retaliate, but they won't drag their Patriarch or powerful experts out. Otherwise, the Zhao family can't afford to lose face."

Xia Wuji patted the quicklime powder on his hand and said with a smile.

Xia Hu nodded.

He wasn't worried. He was just asking.

The Zhao family didn't have the guts to enter the Xia family aboveboard to beat and arrest people.

There were laws in Blue Moon City.

They deserved to be beaten up in the Xia family like today.

However, they had to be careful when they went out in the future.

"Cultivate well. As long as you are strong, no one will dare to bully us."

Xia Wuji said.

"Yes, Young Master."

Xia Hu said. He glanced at the quicklime powder that Xia Wuji patted and grinned. He had to prepare some of this magical weapon to defeat the strong.

If … he added some chili powder, would it be more powerful?

Well … it would be best if it was super spicy. The amount couldn't be too much, or it might reduce the effect of the quicklime powder. The ratio needed to be carefully adjusted …

Xia Wuji didn't know that Xia Hu was thinking about the "super biochemical weapon". He returned to the yard and continued to cultivate.

After cultivating saber techniques, he started to cultivate fist techniques. At noon, Xia Wuji washed up and went to the dining room for lunch.

Usually, Qiu Yue would have finished cooking by this time, but today it was mainly Xia Hu who was cooking.

When he arrived at the dining room, Xia Hu and Yun Qingyao were both there. They were putting the dishes on the table.

At this moment, Xia Wuji had just finished cultivating. His Qi and blood were surging.

"You broke through?"

Yun Qingyao asked in surprise.

"Yes. I'm in the Bone Tempering State. "

Xia Wuji said casually.

This kind of thing couldn't be hidden. Anyway, they would know. It was better to say it directly.

Xia Hu thought to himself, Sure enough!

Young Master had indeed broken through. Otherwise, his strength would definitely not be greater than his!

The cultivation technique that his younger sister gave to the Young Master was really awesome. The Young Master was able to learn it in one go, and it was effective immediately.

He felt that the Young Master's martial arts talent was much stronger than his.

He broke through to the Bone Tempering Realm as soon as he learned it.

But Yun Qingyao didn't think so.

"Have you learned the cultivation method I gave you?"

She was very clear about the condition of Xia Wuji's body. Only when he had mastered the Nine Transformations of the Divine Hammer would he be able to move his Qi and blood with a single thought.

"Hmm, this cultivation technique is not bad. Its effects are very good. It's very likely that it's because of the accumulation, and it's very easy to break through."

Xia Wuji said with a smile.

Yun Qingyao was shocked when she heard that.

She knew very well that even if she taught the Nine Transformations of the Divine Hammer to Xia Wuji, with Xia Wuji's mortal aptitude, it would be difficult for him to learn it in a short time.

However, Xia Wuji had learned it in less than half a day, which was even faster than her back then.

That was incredible.

Could it be that this guy had outstanding talent in martial arts?

What she didn't know was that Xia Wuji didn't practice the Nine Transformations of the Divine Hammer at all, but the Thirty-six Changes of the Stars, which had been deduced countless times and was countless times more complicated.

If she knew, she would be more than just shocked.

While Yun Qingyao was shocked, she immediately developed a strong interest in Xia Wuji.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anyone in the mortal world who could be misjudged by her. She didn't expect that reality would teach her an important lesson.

It turned out that even the lowest mortal world would have extraordinary existences.

She suddenly found that this rebirth was much more interesting than she had imagined. She no longer cared about whether she had been schemed against. She wanted to see this man grow up.

And this was only a corner of the world. Perhaps there were many unknown and interesting things in this world waiting for her to discover.

After lunch, Xia Wuji returned to the yard to continue practicing saber techniques and basic fist techniques.

Not long after, Xia Hu came.

"Young Master, Liu Shouren, the butler of the Liu family's Eldest Young Master, is here."

"Oh?"

Xia Wuji stopped practicing and took a towel from the towel rack to wipe his sweat.

"What's he doing here?"

"He said that his Eldest Young Master invited you to the Blue Moon Restaurant tonight."

Xia Hu said.

Xia Wuji knew that the Eldest Young Master of the Liu family was probably here to buy a storefront.

Just as he was about to refuse, he changed his mind. Actually, it wasn't like he couldn't sell the 26 storefronts on Fairy Street. As long as the price was right, there was no harm in selling them.

In this way, not only would the storefronts on Fairy Street not be always coveted by others, but he could also get a lot of income.

With the income, he could improve his cultivation as soon as possible.

In this world, if one had strength, would he be afraid of not having enough money?

"Tell him that I'll be on time for the appointment tonight."

Xia Wuji said.

"Young Master, …"

Xia Hu was a little hesitant.

Xia Wuji said with a smile, "I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I know what to do."

"Yes, Young Master."

Xia Hu then turned and left.

Xia Wuji continued to cultivate.

In the evening, he took a bath, put on a light blue shirt, and was ready to go out.

"Young Master, I'll go with you."

Xia Hu said.

Xia Wuji shook his head. "No, I'm worried about Qingyao at home alone. It's safer for you to be at home."

"But, Young Master, if you go alone, in case the Liu family tries to force you, I'll be there to take care of you."

Xia Hu was worried about his sister, but he was also worried about his Young Master.

Master and Madam were not here, so the Young Master was the pillar and backbone of the family.

Xia Wuji said, "Don't worry, they won't use force. If they did, they would have done so long ago. There's no need to wait until now."

"Besides, if I dare to go, I'm not afraid. But you should pay more attention to your safety at home and guard against some ignorant rascals. Moreover, Blue Moon City has been a little unstable recently. "

"Yes, Young Master!"

Xia Hu cupped his fists and replied.

Xia Wuji then turned and left.

The evening sun's afterglow covered the earth, coating all the buildings in the city with a layer of golden light.

It was only evening, but Fairy Street was already bustling with noise and excitement.

The girls of the three brothels, Fragrant Harmony Court, Blue Dai Brothel, and Heavenly Fragrance Court, were all standing at the door, flirting and flirting, attracting the men coming and going.

Blue Moon Restaurant was located on Fairy Street, opposite Heavenly Fragrance Court.

Following the route in his memory, Xia Wuji quickly arrived at Blue Moon Restaurant.

When the girls of Heavenly Fragrance Court saw Xia Wuji, their eyes couldn't help but light up.

What a handsome, strong, handsome guy. He was full of vigor and drive.

The girls in thin clothes waved their hands with all their might, posing in all kinds of seductive poses. They were just short of rushing up to snatch him.

Xia Wuji ignored them and was about to walk towards Blue Moon Restaurant when his heart suddenly moved.

He could faintly feel a trace of gloomy and even a little bloodthirsty aura from this group of girls.

He turned to look at this group of girls, only to see that each of them had their shoulders exposed and their eyes were like silk, extremely seductive.

That trace of gloomy and abnormal aura … was gone again.

Was it an illusion?

Xia Wuji shook his head inwardly, then walked straight to Blue Moon Restaurant.

Just as he reached the door, Liu Shouren, who was already waiting at the door, welcomed him.

"Young Master Xia is indeed punctual."

Liu Shouren cupped his fists and smiled, "This way please."

"Thank you for your trouble."

Xia Wuji smiled faintly.

Judging from his aura, this Liu Shouren was also a martial artist, but he shouldn't be too strong.

Liu Shouren led Xia Wuji to a private room on the fifth floor.

At this moment, Liu Xun was sitting inside boldly.
