Do not die

After returning that day, Meng Zhou continued his unfinished task.

The light body talisman advances from master to perfection.

Meng Zhou placed the first perfect-level light body talisman on himself. He felt an invisible force wrap around him. His body became lighter and lighter, and his feet could not feel the weight of his body at all.

Meng Zhou used the Phantom Step to Wander the Dragon again, and his experience became clearer.

He felt that at this moment he was completely integrated into the space around him. His body was light and weightless, and he could not feel any air resistance when his body shape moved and changed rapidly.

Coupled with a variety of perfect martial arts and body movements, his figure is really as fast as a ghost and elusive.

It wasn't until an hour later that the special effect brought by this perfect light body talisman disappeared.

Both the power and the duration have obviously exceeded the scope of normal light body talismans.

Meng Zhou couldn't help but think of the changes in other skills after reaching perfection, and he had some vague thoughts in his mind.

"The skills I practice, whether they are martial arts, spells, or talismans, are all imitations of certain phenomena in the world by predecessors, or records of certain insights.

This is the premise of inheritance. The predecessors condensed their wisdom and experience in these records.

But this has brought about a problem, that is, the reference for future generations is not the phenomena or insights themselves, but the imitation records left by the predecessors.

Just like the predecessors saw a tiger and drew it.

The object of latecomers' study and copying was not the real tiger, but just this tiger painting.

If a latecomer cannot break out of this layer of confusion, even if his intelligence is better than that of his predecessors, he will never be able to truly surpass his predecessors. "

"When a master reaches perfection, it is this invisible but real layer of confusion that is broken down."

"Skills in first, skills out later."

"Get rid of the tiger paintings and see the real tiger."

…

As the Light Body Talisman reached perfection, Meng Zhou suddenly found that the training task that was so tight that every second had to be taken care of suddenly became easier.

In addition to continuing to decipher the stone rubbings, the only remaining things are the flying arrow talisman, the ice talisman and the improvement of sword control skills.

After thinking about it, Meng Zhou stopped learning new talismans for the time being and devoted more time to the practice of sword control.

As the cultivation level breaks through to the seventh level of Qi training, the mana is far more abundant than the sixth level of Qi training.

This already provided convenience for the leveling up of swordsmanship, and as he devoted more time to this, the daily gains were significantly improved, with a daily gain of +70 experience.

On the day after the Light Body Talisman was perfected, sword control successfully crossed the threshold between master and grandmaster.

Just when Meng Zhou thought that the day was going to pass peacefully, a paper bird flew from a distance and fluttered desperately in front of his stone door.

This caught his attention. Meng Zhou opened the stone door, stretched out his hand, and took the paper bird into his hand, turning it into a piece of letter paper.

There was a scrawled text written on it. After Meng Zhou read it, he couldn't help but mutter:

"What kind of plane is this old Chu doing?"

Although he thought so in his mind, he still went to Yu Peng's stone chamber next to him.

Yu Peng opened the door and saw Meng Zhou, and asked strangely: "Uncle Zhou, why are you here at this time?"

Meng Zhou said: "Didn't your teacher tell you?"

"What did you say?" Yu Peng was curious.

At this moment, a paper bird flew from a distance and turned into a piece of letterhead and landed in Yu Peng's hand. When he unfolded it and took a look, he was immediately shocked and quickly introduced Meng Zhou into the house.

The two of them didn't wait too long when they saw a boat-shaped magic weapon cutting through the void, approaching quickly from a distance, and appearing in the sky above the Zuowang Pavilion.

This movement directly attracted the attention of Zuowanguan.

Four monks had rushed out of the Zuowang Pavilion and stopped in front of the Dharma boat.

"Hu Cai", who is now the proprietor of Zuowang Pavilion, has a tripod-shaped magic weapon hanging above his head, facing the Dharma boat directly, with a look of shock and anger.

He shouted: "Who is here? Come out and speak!"

A figure jumped out of the Dharma boat. This person was Chu Zheng.

He came to "Hu Cai" and negotiated with him in a low voice. "Hu Cai"'s attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.

Not only did he wave the other three people who had formed a siege on Fa Zhou to evacuate, he also helped guide Fa Zhou to Yu Peng's stone chamber.

At this moment, Yu Peng had already heard the noise and opened the stone door. When he saw Chu Zheng, he immediately rushed to him and asked: "Teacher, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Chu Zheng shook his head and asked Yu Peng: "Is Uncle Zhou here?"

Yu Peng nodded: "The others are inside."

Chu Zheng nodded and strode into the house while saying, "Go and bring in the injured people on the Dharma boat."

Yu Peng boarded the Dharma boat and took a look. He saw six figures lying in the boat with broken arms, lameness and blood all over their bodies. He was startled for a moment and moved them into the house one by one with each hand.

"Hu Cai" next to him also enthusiastically moved into the house one by one.

In the house, Meng Zhou and Chu Zheng didn't say a word before they saw Yu Peng and "Hu Cai" carrying the wounded into the house one after another.

Yu Peng put the wounded away gently, then turned around and left the room to move the remaining wounded.

On the contrary, "Hu Cai" didn't leave after putting down the two injured patients. He just listened to the two people talking with a casual and natural look on his face.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng felt a little strange, but he didn't say much.

If it were another stranger, he would certainly feel wary, but "Hu Cai" is the landlord here, so the feeling is naturally very different.

Meng Zhou glanced at "Hu Cai" and said nothing more.

Chu Zheng said to Meng Zhou: "Brother, I'm sorry to bother you!"

Meng Zhou nodded without saying anything more. He glanced at the injured patients and selected the one whose symptoms seemed to be the most serious.

He first used the healing technique combined with the rejuvenation technique to give a small stimulation to his heart and lung area. He was awakened from his coma by a basin of warm water.

When he just woke up, he looked at Meng Zhou in front of him with confusion in his eyes.

Next to him, Chu Zheng hurriedly came over and introduced:

"This is Pharmacist Zhou. He is currently diagnosing and treating you. If he gives any instructions, you must cooperate!"

The man nodded heavily, and the confusion in his eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by eagerness and expectation.

Next to him, "Hu Cai" who was watching silently thought: "We have to forcefully wake people up for questioning. It seems that the level of the pharmacist this week is also average."

Meng Zhou didn't care what others thought. It would be a waste to chew such fresh leveling materials.

He started with consultation first, then examination, and only then began treatment when he could no longer provide new experiences.

For him, this was a piece of cake.

This person's injuries looked serious, but compared with the stubborn diseases he had diagnosed and treated before, as long as these new injuries were not fatal and fatal immediately, to him, they were only superficial and the best solution.

When he got up with the gains of +120 in the Consultation Skill and +120 in the Inspection Skill, the six injured patients were already sleeping in a row with peaceful expressions on their faces.

During the diagnosis and treatment, Meng Zhou used all kinds of methods with great restraint. While completing the diagnosis and treatment, he did not use any extra force.

A problem that could have been easily solved with a complete healing technique, but he only used half of it, and they needed to heal the rest by themselves.

After completing the treatment of these six injured patients, Meng Zhou was about to ask Chu Zheng for details when another Dharma boat came from a distance and landed in front of Yu Peng's stone chamber.

A burly man jumped out of the ark, and the most eye-catching thing was the position on his chest near his heart, where gurgling blood was flowing out. It was a wound penetrated by a sharp blade such as a flying sword. Relying on muscle contraction to control the massive outflow of blood.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng quickly stepped forward and asked, "Du He, are you okay?"

The man he called Du He said: "I'm fine!"

"You said it was fine. If the wound had been any further away, you would have been dead!"

Du He grinned and said: "This is a flaw that I deliberately sold. If it weren't for this, the thief leader would really have escaped!"

After hearing this, Chu Zheng asked hurriedly: "Did you kill the leader of Jiexiu?"

Du He hummed, took out a head from his storage bag and threw it to Chu Zheng. When Chu Zheng saw it, he quickly dodged away.

But Du He laughed as if the prank had succeeded, and Chu Zheng looked unhappy and said to Meng Zhou:

"Brother, give this guy a look. If he can't die, tell him to get out of here. It's not a good thing to stay with such a vulgar thing for a long time."

Du He didn't care at all about Chu Zheng's disparagement in his words. Instead, he looked at Meng Zhou, his eyes became eager, and asked hurriedly: "Are you Pharmacist Zhou?"

Meng Zhou nodded.

"How about coming with me and Shengtang?"

When Meng Zhou heard this, his figure froze.

Du He continued: "You can make any conditions!"

As he spoke, he looked around the stone room and said with a look of disgust:

"As long as you nod, maid of the mansion, we can give you the best, and we will never let you live in such a shabby place again."

As soon as he said this, Yu Peng, Chu Zheng, and "Hu Cai" all had bad expressions.

On the contrary, Meng Zhou came to his senses and turned to ask Chu Zheng: "Who is he? He can actually represent the entire Heshengtang?"

Before Chu Zheng could answer, Du He replied directly:

"My name is Du He, I am loved by all my brothers, and now I am the master of the Hesheng Hall.

Pharmacist Zhou, don’t worry, every word I say can represent Heshengtang! "

Before Meng Zhou could answer, Chu Zheng frowned and stopped.

"Du He, shut your stinky mouth!

Do you still want to cooperate with the association? "

Having said this, he looked at Meng Zhou and said, "Brother Zhou, don't pay attention to what he says. I promise, he will never dare to mess around!"

Meng Zhou nodded, looking calm.

His heart was also peaceful.

He neither believed too much nor disbelieved the guarantee made by Chu Zheng on behalf of the association.

His biggest confidence and biggest difference is that today is different from the past.

Now he is in the late stage of Qi training, coupled with the master-level sword control skills.

The upper limit is also only the influence of Nuanyun Valley in the late stage of Qi training. It is really difficult to make him feel the pressure again.

So, he smiled and began to diagnose and treat Du He.

Seeing this, Du He smiled sarcastically and said to Chu Zheng: "I still have a few seriously injured companions in the boat. Go and get them in for me."

Chu Zheng turned to Yu Peng and said, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Go quickly."

"Huh? Oh!"

…

Yu Peng moved five more wounded patients back from the Dharma boat, including Du He. Meng Zhou once again gained +120 in the Consultation Skill and +120 in the Inspection Skill, and completed their diagnosis and treatment.

After the diagnosis and treatment, Du He did not stay any longer. He stuffed most of his companions who were still sleeping into the Dharma boat and took them away in one boat.

Before leaving, he also counted out 1,200 low-grade spiritual stones and handed them to Meng Zhou, hoping to use them as medical fees.

When counting the spiritual stones, it was obvious that his face twitched slightly.

The medical fee for one person is indeed not much, but if more than a dozen people are added together, it is really not a small sum.

Especially the net worth of non-professionals, most of them are relatively tight, and every spiritual stone is obtained with sweat or even blood.

Taking out so much at once, even if He Shengtang is involved in the public account, as the hall master, it is inevitable to feel physical pain.

After Meng Zhou took all the twelve hundred spiritual stones, he returned another two hundred.

Du He looked at Meng Zhou in disbelief, surprised and happy, feeling like he had won a big prize.

Seeing Du He and others flying away in a boat, and "Hu Cai" had already said goodbye and left, Meng Zhou asked Chu Zheng:

"What's going on? Why did you hook up with He Shengtang?"

Chu Zheng said: "Didn't I follow your advice?"

After his explanation, Meng Zhou realized what he had been busy with these days.

It's very simple to say, just go to a first-order spiritual vein called Hongsong Ridge to do some buying and selling business.

The model is to use the professional association to mobilize a large number of professionals to transport a large number of easy-to-dispose finished low-level talismans, elixirs, and magic weapons to Hongsong Ridge for large quantities, and then transport them back into a small amount of spiritual stones and a large amount of raw materials. .

These earned raw materials are once again turned into various finished products such as talismans, elixirs, and magical instruments.

This model seems simple, but the profits are amazing.

And it has been successfully proven to be a feasible method. Although not many spirit stones can be directly earned back, this is the result of the association's intentional control.

What they really make money from is the raw materials.

With a steady stream of raw materials put into this cycle, the Professionals Association finally began to truly operate.

He Shengtang, who has strong combat power but lacks foundation, is the first partner carefully selected by the association.

They provide armed security for associations that lack combat capabilities, ensuring that the entire cycle can run safely and smoothly.

Chu Zheng was obviously reflecting on the reason why he encountered this sudden attack.

At this moment it is concluded:

"Two reasons.

One is insufficient force.

Although Heshengtang's combat power is not bad, it has not put all its strength into it. What's more, in terms of what we have done, Heshengtang's family alone is still lacking in strength.

Therefore, it is necessary to introduce more collaborators and enhance security forces.

Second, the local forces in Hongsong Ridge were ignored.

Although the monks who ambush all pretend to be tribulation cultivators, this is the hinterland of Qingxuan Domain. Where can there be so many tribulation cultivators?

Our actions must have aroused the jealousy and envy of the local forces in Hongsong Ridge, and our appearance did have an impact on the existing local order.

To solve this problem from the root, we have to release part of the profits and find a strong enough local force in Hongsong Ridge to cooperate.

Well, although there are not many professionals in Red Pine Ridge and their quality is far inferior to ours, we might as well develop them into peripheral members of the association.

Give them more reasonable growth guidance, and it's impossible for them not to be tempted.

In this way, we will have more hands on Hongsong Ridge, and things will be safer and more calm. "

He is very good at drawing inferences from one instance and spreading the scope of "collaborators" from Nuanyun Valley to further places.

After listening to Chu Zheng's story, Meng Zhou thought to himself, this guy is growing up really fast. He can already summarize and reflect on his own and find direction in the chaos.

Also growing rapidly are professional associations.
