Master Xiantu

Chapter 93
"Grandpa Cao, we went to the Endless Forest to look for adamantite. When we met people from the Shangguan family, they killed my Xiangxiang as well." The girl said with tears in her eyes.

Xiangxiang was a Tianxiang fox raised by a girl. This time, she was killed by the Shangguan family in order to protect the two of them.

These siblings are the children of Huo Qihai, the president of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. The elder sister is called Huo Zitong and the younger brother is named Huo Zifeng.

The Sihai Chamber of Commerce is an organization formed by a group of casual cultivators. Its influence is spread all over the mainland. There are many capable people and strangers in it. Shopkeeper Cao is also a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

The eight aristocratic families want to unify the 72 lineages and have always coveted the power of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. This time they want to capture Huo Zitong and his brother, just to blackmail Huo Qihai.

Shopkeeper Cao stomped his feet after hearing this: "Oh, you two kids were fooled by that cheap maid Chuntao. Did she tell you where to find the adamantite? After you disappeared, the president thoroughly investigated the people around you. Man, it turns out that Chuntao is a spy sent by the eight great families. She deliberately lured you to the Endless Forest so that the eight great families could capture you."

Chuntao has been serving Huo Zitong for two years. She is smart and attentive in serving others, which makes her very popular with Huo Zitong. When he suddenly heard that she was a spy sent by the eight aristocratic families, Huo Zitong was stunned.

Sensing that Elder Wang had returned to the sect, Qi Ji came out to greet him. He wanted to ask him how his trip to Sifang City was going to recruit disciples, but instead he overheard a conversation between the siblings and Shopkeeper Cao, and then they realized that they actually knew each other.

"Master Qi, this old man is here to discuss with the master about increasing the purchase quantity of 'Herbal Essence'." He glanced at Huo Zitong and his brother and said, "Originally, our president is here in person this time. , but Zitong and Zifeng, the siblings, left a letter and ran away. The president went to the Endless Forest to look for someone but he hasn’t come back yet. Please forgive me, the leader.”

"You're welcome, Shopkeeper Cao, please come and invite me to the living room." Qi Ji said and invited people into the living room.

As soon as they sat down, shopkeeper Cao asked Qi Ji, "I wonder how Mr. Qi met Zitong and the others?"

Qi Ji then told how he successfully rescued the two siblings.

"The boss is very grateful to us, Sihai Chamber of Commerce." Shopkeeper Cao stood up and saluted Qi Ji and said, "I will send a message to the president to come over as soon as possible."

"The shopkeeper is too polite. It's just a matter of course. I didn't contribute much. There is no need to mobilize so much. You just want to increase the purchase quantity of grass essence. Just discuss it with Elder Wang. This is not the first time we cooperate. , everything is easy to discuss." Qi Ji said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Cao said, "The boss is unaware of something. In addition to discussing the quantity of plant essence, we have another matter that we would like to ask Mr. Qi for help."

Qi Ji looked confused: "What's going on?"

"This time, Zitong and the others were tricked into going to the Endless Forest to look for fine gold. This was all because Zitong and his two siblings were about to go through the Great Tribulation of Foundation Building, and they wanted to use fine gold to refine the magic weapon 'Vajra Shield' to overcome the tribulation. To resist the thunder tribulation. Last time I came to see the leader to help the disciples to overcome the thunder tribulation, the old man went back and told the president about the matter. I planned to bring the Zitong sister and brother over this time when I came to discuss the grass and wood essence."

As he spoke, he glanced at Huo Zitong and the others and said, "Who would have thought that these two careless people could be so out of control that they even ran out to find some fine gold by themselves."

"Oh, Grandpa Cao, we are also in a hurry to overcome the disaster. We know we were wrong." Huo Zitong said softly.

Shopkeeper Cao deliberately said with a straight face: "It's no use being coquettish with me, old man. Let's see how you deal with your father when he comes."

At this time, Qi Ji looked at the Huo siblings and said, "Looking at their cultivation, they haven't reached the standard to survive the tribulation."

Huo Zitong and Huo Zifeng immediately removed the breathing charms from their bodies. The two siblings were actually at the ninth level of Qi refining.The difference is that Huo Zitong has already reached the ninth level of Dzogchen, while Huo Zifeng has just barely broken through to the ninth level.

"No wonder these two people are in a hurry to refine the magic weapon to overcome the tribulation." Qi Ji thought to himself.

Shopkeeper Cao said and went out to deliver the message. Huo Zitong and his brother looked at Qi Ji, becoming more and more puzzled.

While Shopkeeper Cao was leaving, they all asked Elder Wang: "Is it going well for Elder Wang to recruit disciples in Sifang City this time?"

"Alas." Elder Wang breathed softly: "The eight aristocratic families are now targeting us, and we can't recruit a single disciple in Sifang City." After saying that, he pointed to the silent young man in black next to him and said: "This son's name is His name is Chen Mo. He is from Chenjia Village, a branch of Yunduan Mountain. He is under the jurisdiction of the Beast Control Sect. Last month, the young master of the Beast Control Sect fell in love with his sister and kidnapped him to be his concubine. The sister vowed to die and was killed in the process. The Chen family came to seek help from the Beast Control Sect, but they were also ruined by the Beast Control Sect."

When Elder Wang said these words, he felt the bulging veins on the forehead of the young man in black, and he was holding back great hatred in his heart.

"Does he want to join our Taixuan Sect and learn the skills to take revenge?" Qi Ji asked.

"Please, Master, please grant me permission." Without waiting for Elder Wang to reply, the young man in black knelt down in front of Qi Ji.

"He has a pitiful background. All the sects in the 72 branches are afraid of offending the Beast Control Sect and dare not take him in. I see that the leader is eager to take him in, and we are suppressed by the eight major families and no one dares to come to accept him, so we brought this man back. Please let the leader make a decision." When Elder Wang stated an objective fact, he said some kind words for Chen Mo without leaving any trace, and Chen Mo also looked at Elder Wang gratefully.

"In that case, take him down to register." Qi Ji said, taking out a disciple nameplate and giving it to Chen Mo.

Seeing that Qi Ji was willing to take him in, Chen Mo thanked him profusely. At this time, shopkeeper Cao came in, and Elder Wang also took Chen Mo down.

"The news has been sent out, I believe our president will arrive soon." Shopkeeper Cao smiled at Qi Ji.

Qi Ji also smiled: "Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Cao is also a member of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce."

Shopkeeper Cao took a breath and said: "It's just to make a living. Nowadays, the intention of the eight major families to unify the 72 lineages is becoming more and more obvious. Anyone who is unwilling to submit will be ruthlessly persecuted. We casual cultivators have no power. If we don't unite, When I get up, I'm just afraid that I'll be eaten until all the dregs are left."

"The Eight Great Aristocratic Families are indeed going too far." Qi Ji said with a sharp look in his eyes.

"To tell you the truth, I haven't thanked Master Qi yet. If you hadn't sold the 'Herbal Essence' to me, Caoji Pharmacy would have been annexed by the Huangfu family." As he spoke, Storekeeper Cao bowed to Qi Ji.

Qi Ji replied: "Shopkeeper Cao is too polite. Now that I, Taixuanzong, have also been suppressed by the Huangfu family, we should all share the same hatred."

Hearing Qi Ji's words, shopkeeper Cao said with a trace of worry on his face: "Our Caoji Pharmacy has produced the 'Herbal Essence' that is purer than the Huangfu family's. It has attracted extreme attention from the Huangfu family. The Huangfu family's People have tried to trick my guy many times."
