Lord, I'm floating

Chapter 169 Seize the advantage of being first
Once the wind and rain disappeared.

Qingfeng Ridge has returned to its former leisurely and comfortable state, and Xuer resists her hoe. After practicing, she has to work in the vegetable garden on the hillside every day, preventing the handyman disciples at the foot of the mountain from interfering.

In Gongzi's words, what she grows is not just vegetables, but also cultivation of every aspect of life.

Unexpectedly, it has been more than a month since I returned from the Tianlu Mountains. In early winter, the trees are getting more and more depressed.

In the evening of that day, Chen Mou came home from the forging exchange at Huoling in Qingzhu Peak and brought back a carefully crafted protective magic weapon. When he opened the courtyard door and saw Xu'er coming out of the kitchen in the east room, he smiled with laughter. There was something different about the past, so he took a closer look.

"Ah, long time no see, you have made a breakthrough in your cultivation. Congratulations. This bracelet is for you as a gift."

"Thank you sir."

Xu'er smiled and wiped her hands on her apron. Her cultivation had successfully reached the level of Qi refining, and she was not far from building the foundation. She took over the silver bracelet inlaid with aqua blue and red ruby ​​gems. It was small, exquisite, and unique in its craftsmanship.

"It's so beautiful, sir, your craftsmanship is getting better and better!"

The crested hairpin in her hair, the beaded string around her neck, and the auspicious cloud pendant hanging around her waist were all handmade by the young master. They were all made for her to wear, making her look beautiful and jeweled every day.

Thanks to her outstanding appearance, she was able to hold down treasures of different shapes, colors, and styles.

Otherwise, the village girl looks tacky in her red and green coat.

"Take some time and refining the bracelet several times. I have engraved the secret words of the water element inside the bracelet. After you build the foundation, the power of this bracelet can be fully exerted."

Chen Mou told the maid that he liked the stinky beauty and walked into the main room to sit down.

Xu'er agreed, put the bracelet on her left wrist, poured tea with quick hands and feet, and said: "Sister Qingluo received news today that they have arrived at the 'Qianlan Fang' on the western border of Changzhou, and will stay in Fangshi for three or five days. moon."

Chen Mou is not the one who often sends messages to communicate, and Brother Cui is even more lazy, so Xu'er and the two swordsmen Qingluo and Lu Yi often communicate with each other through messages to know each other's current situation.

He keenly sensed something was wrong and asked, "Senior Brother Cui is injured?"

"Young master, you are really aware of everything. Mr. Cui was injured a little while competing with the golden elixir master of 'Fu Liumen', and he also gained some insights. He needs to stop and think about it for a while, and cultivate himself."

Xu'er said what happened outside, and then said: "Our handyman disciple Andehou at the foot of Qingfengling Mountain came out of seclusion today. With the foundation-building pill you rewarded, he successfully built the foundation. He wants to stay in Qingfengling." Cultivation in the mountains is like the work of dogs and horses.”

"Tomorrow I will say hello to Zi Jianfeng and help him get an inner disciple status. I will meet him later and have a chat with him."

The two talked about some things, Xu'er served food and wine, and they had dinner together.

It was dark, Chen Mou walked into the quiet room and came to Taisu Mountain.

Moving to the Shannan Lingtian area, Chen Mou asked Fang Bi, who was busy in the field, to wash his hands. He walked to the shade of a tree, took out a cloth bag and handed it to Fang Bi, saying, "I have collected some books and secret techniques on spiritual plants. You read through it and take a look, and when you go back, you will also compile a list of the secret techniques of spiritual planting that are not in it, and get a few interesting things so that I can return the favor to others."

Fang Bi hurriedly took it with both hands and said with a smile: "Excuse me, sir. I will never dare to hide my secrets, Mr. Fang."

He understood that the young master had acquired the secret technique of spiritual cultivation from his family, and he exchanged knowledge with him.

Chen Mou waved his hand and said with a smile: "It is human nature to hide private things. You go and do your work, I will walk around."

"Young Master, you are joking. Please walk slowly, Young Master."

Fang Bi smiled with a smile on his face.

Chen Mou turned around and headed up the mountain, saying a few words to Shangguan Sheng who had arrived. Bi Yan had greeted him two days ago and quietly left Taisu Mountain at night.

"Yesterday evening, Shen Xing was assassinated by three killers at the entrance of the 'Xiaofeng Inn' in Qingfeng City. Fortunately, he was alert and was not injured. Hua Chaoyue protected him and returned to the inn without entangled with the killers. The three killers struck him If he missed, he immediately split up and fled. Someone should have been there to help him. Qingfeng City patrolled the city guards, but the assassin was not captured."

Shangguan Sheng sighed a little and said: "This is the third time I have been assassinated in one and a half months. The first two were poisoned. If Hua Chaoyue hadn't been sensitive to poisons, it would have been impossible to prevent him."

He then suggested: "Master, why don't you ask a few Jindan bodyguards to disguise themselves and escort Shen Xing back to the mountain?" "Don't worry, just stay in Qingfeng City, they won't be able to roam for a few days."

Chen Mou turned to give instructions: "Contact the He family and ask Xiangyu to come to Taisu Mountain. I have important matters to discuss."

Without Bi Yan to protect him, he would not be able to leave Taisu Mountain easily.

The killer of the Thorn Pavilion is already crazy. He doesn't need to take risks. It's almost time to close the net, so he can talk to the Spirit Clan in advance.

Shangguan Sheng is a little confused. The killers are so arrogant, why can't they just jump around for a few days?
Guessing that the young master had some secret arrangements, he agreed and went down to do the work.

At noon, Xiangyu walked up Taisu Mountain under the escort of a group of Jindan monks.

All the major forces in the city already knew that Taisu Mountain was being targeted by the assassins of Zhanji Pavilion. Shen Xing, who was stranded in Qingfeng City, had been assassinated many times and did not even dare to step out of the city gate.

Xiangyu didn't stay long and returned to the city.

That night, Lingmiao appeared alone at the foot of Taisu Mountain, and was greeted by Chen Mou at the mountain gate.

"Tell me first. If you want to make a deal with me, I have to think it through carefully before I can decide whether to agree or not. Otherwise, the spiritual secret method of senior is too valuable and it will be too hot for me to accept."

Lingmiao transformed into a woman in white, and her body was filled with light white aura, covering her whole body and making it difficult to see clearly.

She refused the invitation to go up the mountain to the main hall to serve tea, and spoke in front of the mountain gate.

She held a "book of sand" in her hand. The senior promised to give out a secret method, so she had to consider it carefully.

Chen Mou was several feet away from the dim figure of Ling Miao, one was inside the door and the other was outside. He smiled and picked out the plan to deal with Zhanji Pavilion, and told Ling Miao something through the sound transmission.

With Lao Yuan's relationship, there is a foundation of trust between him and Ling Miao.

Lingmiao didn't ask about the specific details. She thought it was some kind of trouble, so she was so cautious. She was silent for a moment and said through a message: "I can promise you. When the news of the death of Yunzhong Sword Body came out, I immediately contacted several forces and listed them all. For the crime of Zhanji Pavilion, I declare war on Zhanthorn Pavilion, but I still have one condition."

Chen Mou smiled and said, "Please tell me!"

"We will occupy the majority of Zhanji Pavilion's secret bases and shops in Qianfeng City and Qingfeng City."

The clever voice transmission revealed an unexpected condition.

Chen Mou was a little embarrassed and said through a message: "I'm just trying to pull the strings. There are many forces involved this time. The subsequent territory will be owned by whoever takes it. I won't interfere, just for revenge. You can grab it, even if you occupy it." Just go, but I declare in advance that if other families don’t agree, I can’t interfere.”

Lingmiao was relieved and said with a smile: "As long as you agree, that's what we'll agree on."

She was worried that the family power behind Taisu Mountain would seize the secret base and shop of Zhanji Pavilion. With Chen Mou's promise, she could do it with confidence and gain the advantage of being the first mover.

The bold idea of ​​​​plotting to kill the Thorn Pavilion, without the support of the forces behind it, can Tai Sushan take the lead and make it happen?

"After the matter is completed, I will come back to get the secret method that senior promised."

The spirit drifted away, and a faint voice came.

Chen Mou agreed with a smile and looked up to the southeast.

At this hour, thousands of miles away in Sao Feng City, Yun Zhongjian is about to start his last assassination performance, right?
