Do not die

Meng Zhou had just taken two steps when Deacon Zhang's attentive yet respectful voice came from behind: "Senior, please wait a moment."

Meng Zhou, who was striding towards the auction house, stopped and turned to look at Deacon Zhang, who was running quickly.

In just a short period of time, Deacon Zhang had adjusted his mentality.

At this moment, he had completely cleared away all the negative emotions in his heart. He quickly came to Meng Zhou and said respectfully:

"Congratulations on your successful foundation building, senior. Do you want to go to the auction house now?"

"Yeah." Meng Zhou nodded.

Deacon Zhang said: "The road you are taking now can only lead to the first floor of the auction house. To go to the private room on the second floor, you need to go in the other direction."

Meng Zhouyi was stunned and realized his negligence just now.

This is because his own thinking has not turned around, and he has not yet realized that he is now a foundation-building monk, and his status has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before the breakthrough.

The two previous times, he just sat in the lobby on the first floor, crowded together with hundreds and thousands of Qi Practitioners, and participated in the auction together.

But now that he is a veritable Foundation Establishment monk, he naturally has to go to the private room on the second floor that is reserved for each Foundation Establishment monk.

"How to go?" Meng Zhou asked.

Deacon Zhang said respectfully: "Many rooms have been booked by other seniors. It's hard to tell them apart, which may cause unnecessary misunderstandings. I'd better take you there myself."

Meng Zhou nodded and did not refuse: "Okay, please lead me the way."

So, Deacon Zhang began to lead the way for him, and from time to time he would whisper a reminder or introduce a few words.

Unknowingly, Meng Zhou had a rough understanding of the situation on the second level.

Although Meng Zhou would not change his low-key and cautious style because of his breakthrough in cultivation, he would not refuse the change in status that would naturally come with the improvement of his strength.

"Who said that Hexinlou is aloof and has no sense of service? That's just because he was not qualified before."

After a short journey, Meng Zhou felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Following Deacon Zhang, Meng Zhou was led into a room with simple and comfortable decoration and a good view. The auction table and even the first floor area could be easily seen.

After introducing Meng Zhou into the room, Deacon Zhang turned around and personally brought in a large tray, a pot of spiritual tea, several kinds of spiritual fruits, and special dried fruit and dried meat. The quantity of each was not too much, but it was better than There are many categories, which look exquisite and bright.

Finally, Deacon Zhang said: "Senior, I will go out first. If you need anything, please call me at any time!"

He stepped back and closed the door gently.

It wasn't until Meng Zhou was the only one left in the room that he shook his head and laughed at himself:

"It seems that this feeling of being held by someone is not something you can get used to all at once. You have to get used to it!"

People were still entering the venue one after another, and the auction had not officially started yet. While waiting, Meng Zhou tasted all the various spiritual fruit snacks one by one.

Not to mention the delicious taste, what's even more rare is that the abundant spiritual essence in it is even better than the best spiritual fruit he has ever eaten before.

Meng Zhou drank another cup of spiritual tea and felt the rich and dense strange spiritual essence slowly spreading in his body, making him feel warm all over.

"They should all be of second-level quality, right?" Meng Zhou guessed in his mind, admiring the generosity of the Qingxuan Sect behind Hexin Tower.

Although he knew that the wool would eventually come from the sheep, he was still amazed by Qing Xuanzong's craftsmanship.

After a while, the auction started.

The first thing to be displayed is still the precious third-level lot.

Hearing the fierce bidding in his ears, Meng Zhou only regarded himself as a spectator and did not participate in any bidding in the whole process.

It's not that there weren't any items that caught his heart, but looking at his shriveled wallet, Meng Zhou instantly regained his senses.

At the most, Meng Zhou had more than 56,000 low-grade spiritual stones and nearly 57,000.

Later, in order to make elixirs and level up, I purchased about 15,000 various materials.

Later, he bought a Foundation Building Pill for 20,000 yuan, which is still lying in the jade volute.

Plus some other miscellaneous consumption, such as buying some notes from Xiangminglou.

Now he has just over 20,000 spirit stones, which sounds like a lot.

But there are only two hundred middle-grade spiritual stones. For a foundation-building monk, this amount of spiritual stones is not enough to buy a higher-quality second-level magic weapon.

The greatest significance of this auction to Meng Zhou was that it allowed his somewhat wandering mentality to quickly clear up after he had just broken through, and his feet were firmly planted on the ground again.

Well, I also got a portion of tea and snacks that were of good quality and good presentation.

Meng Zhou glanced at the tray that he had cleaned, stood up and walked out of the room.

The auction is not completely over yet, but the auction for foundation building and above has ended.

The next auction items were all prepared for the Qi Practitioner, so he naturally had no reason to stay any longer.

Meng Zhou was thinking about his future arrangements when Deacon Zhang appeared respectfully on the opposite side, "Senior, are you planning to leave?"

"Yes." Meng Zhou responded, then stared at the other person twice, "Is something wrong?"

"Our host would like to invite you to meet us."

After speaking, Deacon Zhang also explained two sentences:

"Every senior who has successfully built the foundation of Hexin Building will be met by the building owner in person whenever he has time.

It's just that the timing of your exit was too coincidental, as the auction was starting, and he didn't know that you had exited until you entered the room. "

"Oh." Meng Zhou responded calmly on the surface, but thoughts were swirling in his heart.

Hexin Tower is a flag of Qingxuan Sect in Qinglinfang.

To be able to be the host here, your ability and cultivation level cannot be low.

For such an invitation from a big shot...

"Where is he now?" Meng Zhou asked.

Deacon Zhang pointed to the top of his head: "It's upstairs."

Meng Zhou nodded and said, "Please lead the way."

Deacon Zhang took Meng Zhou up to the third floor and introduced Meng Zhou into a room.

In the room, there were two people sitting opposite each other across a short table.

One of them, Meng Zhou, could only see the side face, but he could basically tell that he was a young man.

On the other side, facing the door, sat a kind-hearted middle-aged woman in her early fifties with a smile on her face, as if she was communicating with the young man.

Seeing Deacon Zhang leading Meng Zhou in, she looked up at Meng Zhou, looked him up and down, then smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations, fellow Taoist!"

Meng Zhou was also very surprised. He really didn't expect that the host He Xin would be a woman.

She is also a calm and gentle aunt-type person who seems to have no sense of edge.

But Meng Zhou, a new junior Zhu Ji, still greeted him respectfully: "I've met my senior!"

The woman waved her hand and said with a smile: "We are all building foundations. I am only a few years older than you. We are all Taoist friends and I dare not be a senior!"

As she spoke, she extended her hand to ask Meng Zhou to take a seat, and also introduced the young man sitting opposite her.

"This is Hao Zhen, a true disciple of Qingxuan Sect."

The young man then looked at Meng Zhou seriously and nodded in greeting.

However, Meng Zhou's heart trembled, and he bowed respectfully to the young man with his fists in hand.

The host of Hexin did not introduce more to the young man, but for Meng Zhou, just a few words "Qingxuanzong True Biography" was enough information, even so much that it made him feel a little indigestion.

After staying in Qinglinfang for so long, I often went to places like Xiangming Tower to listen to gossip, and I also learned a lot about the rules of Qingxuan Sect.

In Qingxuan Sect, there are tens of thousands of disciples, and they are divided very finely, from the most marginal registered disciples, to outer disciples, inner disciples, and true disciples.

But if you really want to care about it, there are actually only two categories, true biography and others.

Registered disciples can be promoted to inner disciples step by step through their own efforts and talents.

Each step has clear standards. As long as the standards are met, one can progress and enhance their status and status within Qingxuan Sect.

But this step only stops at the inner door.

True inheritance cannot be born through this method.

That's a completely different set of screening criteria.

It is said that as early as when they were very young, Qingxuan Sect would secretly select some true seeds.

After some tests, while others were still climbing the mountain step by step, they were taken directly to the top of the mountain.

Qingxuanzong's standards for cultivating true disciples are also different from other disciples.

There won't even be any pressure on the targets, and they don't have to worry about slow progress in cultivation or being eliminated by the sect for other reasons. They just need to use the platform of Qingxuan Sect to grow wantonly.

According to Meng Zhou's understanding, the other disciples of Qingxuan Sect are just employees and ministers.

The biggest difference between the registered and the inner sect is that the former is a low-ranking official and a minor official, while the latter is a high official in the temple and can participate in national affairs.

The true successor is the true heir, successor, and crown prince.

"I don't know what to call you?" Hexin poster asked.

"Mengzhuang." Meng Zhou replied.

Before entering Qinglinfang, Meng Zhou made new adjustments to his body shape, appearance, and temperament. Not only was he different from his previous master, he was also completely different from "Yakashi Zhou". He was a completely new person.

Since entering Qinglinfang, he has been acting in this capacity.

"Fellow Taoist must have just come to Qinglinfang recently, right?"

"um, yes."

"I wonder which family you are from? I have had a lot of contact with surrounding forces. Maybe we had some connections in the past."

"I'm just a casual cultivator..."

The two exchanged questions and answers for a few words. The host Hexin seemed to feel Meng Zhou's discomfort and said directly:

"It is certainly gratifying and admirable for fellow Taoist monks to complete foundation building as a casual cultivator.

But I think fellow Taoists also have some confusion about the way forward. Although I am not a casual cultivator, I understand how difficult it is for casual cultivators to go all the way to foundation building. "

Meng Zhou's face showed a sympathetic expression, coupled with his old face that was over fifty years old and weathered, it was particularly convincing.

The owner of Hexin turned her palm over, and there was an extra token in her hand. She handed it to Meng Zhou.

"It is our fate that fellow Taoists can build the foundation of Hexin Tower and take a further step on the road to the great road.

If you accept this token, if you are willing to continue to cooperate with Hexin Building in the future, we will make it as convenient as possible for you. "

Well, this is a membership card. Meng Zhou thought to himself, but there was still a look of surprise on his face as he put the token into his storage bag.

After Meng Zhou said goodbye, he turned around and left.

Host Hexin suddenly said again:

"Oh, by the way, fellow Taoist Meng, you should also know that many monks have successfully built foundations in our building during this period, and there are not many fellow Taoists in your situation.

I think there should be many issues you can share with us.

I took the lead and prepared to call everyone together to discuss ideas with Xinlou on the ninth day of March.

If you have time, fellow Taoist friends may wish to come over and take a look.

I know that casual cultivators are used to hiding their clumsiness, but this opportunity is really rare! "

Speaking of this, the host of Hexin even threw out a sweet bait.

"At that time, I will also lead several Qingxuan Sect Foundation Builders to participate in the discussion, and everyone will learn from each other.

If there are Taoist friends who perform exceptionally and have real talents and learning, Qingxuan Sect will give them a precious opportunity! "

"Precious opportunity? What opportunity?"

"We will give him a chance to enter the Sutra Library." The owner of Hexin Tower said softly.

Meng Zhou, who was not taking it seriously at first, was shocked. He did not hide it, and his eyes suddenly brightened, as if they were about to shine.

"Let us go to the Qingxuanzong Sutra Collection Building to choose exercises?"

"Um!"

Host Hexin nodded, but emphasized: "Only those who perform extremely well at the exchange meeting may get this opportunity!"

After that, she explained a little further: "For those geniuses who have been buried due to their status as casual cultivators, Qingxuan Sect is not afraid of giving them a chance to take off!"

Meng Zhou nodded, but continued to ask: "There must be some restrictions, right?"

Hexin landlord nodded.

"The monks who are allowed to enter the Sutra Library can only stay for one day at most, and can only move around on the first and second floors.

If you choose a skill, you must make an oath with your Taoist heart in mind and promise that you can only practice it yourself. It is strictly forbidden to pass it on to others, let alone sell it for profit. "

Meng Zhou blinked his eyes, as if he couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen, and confirmed: "That's it? Can the technique be taken away?"

Host Hexin nodded: "That's it!"

Meng Zhou said: "There will always be a quantity limit, right?"

"Of course you can only choose one. This opportunity only comes once!" Host Hexin stared at him and said with some uncertainty: "Didn't I make it clear just now?"

"Well……"

He did say "one chance" at the beginning, but his understanding was obviously the most beautiful one.

The refugees entered the rice warehouse, but I didn’t even bring baskets to pack them in!

Now of course he knows that this is too beautiful.

The local tycoon had a kind heart and wanted to give away some porridge and food.

Meng Zhou felt that this scene should be praised!

Meng Zhou made up his mind that for this opportunity, he could slightly unlock some of the "seals" and display some of his talents.

A monk who can grow from a casual cultivator to a foundation-builder cannot be mediocre in the first place.

Even if the performance is more eye-catching, it will make sense and will not make people feel abrupt.

It would be strange for a foundation-building casual cultivator to behave too mediocrely!

Just as he was thinking about this, Meng Zhou's thoughts turned and he suddenly thought of a possibility and asked curiously:

"Owner, although I am a little presumptuous, I would like to ask you a question!"

"You ask." Host Hexin said.

"Does Qingxuanzong want to choose some guest ministers among us casual cultivators?"

Meng Zhou knew that Qingxuanzong had a tradition of absorbing guest officials.

If Qingxuanzong had this idea, Meng Zhou felt that this should be considered more carefully.

He didn't want to be too closely bound to Qingxuan Sect just because of the Qingxuan Sect's Sutra Collection Building technique.

"Ahem..."

Just when Meng Zhou was thinking wildly with these concerns, he heard Qingxuan Zhenzhen Hao Zhen, who had been silent next to him and was listening to the conversation between the two with a cup of tea, seemed to be choked and coughed twice.

Meng Zhou glanced at it in confusion, and the host He Xin already shook his head and said:

“The news about Taoist friends is out of date, and we did attract a lot of guests in the early days.

But starting from ten years ago, we no longer accept guests from the foundation-building realm. "

Compared to the disciples he had trained by himself, Ke Qing could not escape the label of being an outsider no matter what.

In the early days, when Qingxuan Sect was founded, the organizational structure was not perfect. It also needed to develop a huge third-level spiritual vein, which required a lot of immediate combat power. Naturally, it opened the gates wide and absorbed many guests at the foundation level.

But as Qingxuanzong's own talent echelon caught up, the special group of Keqing naturally "withered" slowly as time went by.

Meng Zhou was thoughtful. After the other party revealed it, he could understand the reason, but he still couldn't completely believe it.

Next to him, Hao Zhen put down his teacup and said to Meng Zhou: "Fellow Daoist Meng, you still seem to have doubts?"

Facing him, Meng Zhou was very frank.

"Sorry, I just think this pie-in-the-sky thing is a little unreal."

Hao Zhen nodded and said:

"The foundation building who came out of the casual cultivator seems to have similar ideas to you.

When I see that something good is going to happen to me, my first reaction is not to be happy, but to take two steps back, full of suspicion and vigilance. "

"..." Meng Zhou thought that the other party summed it up correctly.

"I want to say that our Qingxuan Sect, as the Lord of the Qingxuan Domain, has a simple desire to support the talented monks who were born in this domain but failed to develop their abilities because they have no background to support them. You may think that I Singing a high note.

In this case, I will say something you can understand! "

Hao Zhen's expression was a little playful, but also sincere.

"You know the Jade Lake Fairy City plan, right?"

"Yeah, I know." Meng Zhou nodded.

"By the middle of this year, the layout of the third-level formation will be completed. At that time, we will have to consider the issue of personnel entry."

“This is a project we are developing in cooperation with many forces, but until now, many people have not turned the corner.

They simply understood the future fairy city as a third-level dojo that could be used by them.

It seems that as long as they participate in this project, they can arrange for people to practice at will. "

Meng Zhou was confused: "Isn't it possible?"

Hao Zhen pointed to the room he was in and said:

"If this Hexinlou is an industry run by the three of us together, I think these spiritual fruits are delicious today, so I will put two baskets back.

I think this can of spiritual tea is good tomorrow, so I will take two cans back with me.

how do you feel? "

Meng Zhou shook his head: "No, this is not the attitude of making a living."

Hao Zhen nodded and said, "That's it."

Meng Zhou had a look of confusion on his face, "Prince, what does this have to do with me?"

“So, we set strict and clear entry conditions.

Anyone who cannot meet the requirements will not be allowed to enter!

On the contrary, we welcome even casual cultivators! "

Meng Zhou suddenly felt like he had been hit by a boomerang.

A boomerang that passed in front of him a long time ago, after making a circle in the distance, hit him from an angle that he did not expect at all.

…

After leaving Hexin Building, Meng Zhou stood on the street in the central area and looked around. For a moment, he didn't know whether to go left or right next.

At this moment, in the teahouse diagonally opposite, which was the same teahouse where Meng Zhou observed the foundation-building vision, two people ran out of it almost at the same time.

Run quickly towards him.

Meng Zhouding took a quick look and saw that these were the shopkeepers Chen from Ruyiju and Lu from Xiangminglou.

Seeing them standing in front of him, Meng Zhou wondered: "What are you doing here? Are you looking for something from me?"

"Congratulations to Senior Meng on your successful foundation building, the road is in sight!"

The two of them congratulated Meng Zhou almost in no particular order.

Meng Zhou accepted their congratulations with a smile, but asked curiously: "Are you waiting here just to wish me success in building the foundation?"

Shopkeeper Chen of Ruyiju rushed to the side and shopkeeper Lu of Xiangminglou spoke up and said:

"Senior has been cultivating in my residence for several months, and today he finally succeeded in building the foundation. How can we not celebrate such an important thing?"

Meng Zhou said: "You mean Zhuji Xiaoqing?"

Shopkeeper Chen nodded hurriedly: "Yes, after decades of hard training, such an important day can't just pass by without a trace, right?!"

Meng Zhou was a little moved, but soon shook his head inwardly.

Although, after the practitioner has successfully established the foundation, he will indeed hold a celebration or something.

Especially those cultivating immortal families, their momentum is so huge.

I really want everyone in the world to know that our family has a new foundation.

Even casual cultivators will do a small show in order to take the opportunity to promote their "foundation-building debut" and expand and improve their network of contacts.

That means, it is equivalent to using a small loudspeaker to shout out, "There is a new foundation here, I hope everyone will show me more."

However, Meng Zhou felt that this did not seem to be necessary for him.

Other casual cultivators have decades of experience in building foundations. They usually don't show off their skills, but at this time, they can always establish friendship with some foundation-building monks.

It is indeed necessary to take this opportunity to make contact and integrate into the circle of foundation-building monks.

But I am different. From the time I passed through to the present, I have made every effort, and it only took less than a year in total.

Moreover, because his practice speed was exaggerated and shocking, not only did his practice location change frequently, but he also changed three of his common vests.

If the communication between practitioners will produce lines of cause and effect, Meng Zhou feels that looking at the entire spiritual world, there are few people with fewer lines of cause and effect than himself.

And he is still cleaning it up from time to time.

How meaningful is it to him to hold such a celebration?

Maybe, this "Mengzhuang" will disappear soon.

Of course, in addition to these reasons, there is another reason, trouble.

In this case...

Just as Meng Zhou was about to refuse, shopkeeper Chen quickly said:

"I know senior's concerns, don't worry, as long as you nod, you don't need to worry about anything, I will take care of everything!"

"Wouldn't this cause trouble for you?" Meng Zhou said.

"No trouble, no trouble. If you are willing to leave this matter to me, Ruyi Ju, you are looking down on us. How can it be trouble?!"

Meng Zhou understood that this was actually the sponsor's idea. It was this reputation that the other party wanted to earn.

Everyone is an old acquaintance, and he doesn't worry about the other party trying to trick him.

But thinking about the worries in his heart, Meng Zhou still shook his head:

"In Qinglinfang nowadays, foundation building is really not uncommon, but I don't even know a fellow Taoist...it's not right or wrong."

If there wasn't even a supportive Foundation Builder, and there were just a few storekeepers and waiters working there, it would really be self-entertainment.

Obediently, Shopkeeper Lu of Xiangminglou, who had never dared to interrupt, said quickly:

"Senior Meng, there are two seniors who want to make friends with you. If you can be a guest at Xiangming Tower, they will definitely come to the meeting."

Meng Zhou thought of what the other party had said before, that two guests who had had tea at Xiangming Tower had also established foundations some time ago, and one of them was a regular customer.

Meng Zhou nodded: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!"

The reason why Meng Zhou agreed so simply was because he thought of the informal cultivator exchange meeting that the host He Xin revealed.

If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them should have received the invitation.

He wanted to contact them in advance to find out the bottom line. He thought that they would have the same needs in the future.

Shopkeeper Lu of Xiangminglou didn't know that he had so many twists and turns in his heart, so he was overjoyed.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the person had already disappeared.

Looking at his state, you can tell how concerned he is about this matter. Of course, maybe he is simply afraid of being beaten by another shopkeeper next to him.

Shopkeeper Chen of Ruyiju: “ # ￥% @\u0026”

Meng Zhou turned to shopkeeper Chen who looked resentful and said:

"I have considered that the Xiangming Building is a larger place. There are too many guest rooms in Ruyiju, and the largest place is the canteen. You can't let me hold the foundation celebration in the Ruyiju canteen, right?"

Do you think casual cultivators don’t want any cards at all? !

Shopkeeper Chen's daughter-in-law pursed her lips and said, "I don't dare."

Meng Zhou thought to himself that a person with high emotional intelligence would never ignore someone who wants to be considerate.

Moreover, people with high emotional intelligence also know that taking the initiative to ask people to do small favors and making them feel valuable and needed is an advanced skill for pleasing people.

"Exactly, I have something to trouble you about."

Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly said: "Say it!"

“Now that I have been promoted to Foundation Establishment, Ruyiju is no longer suitable for me.

I'm thinking about where to find a new place to live, but I don't know much about the hotels in the area that can provide second-level spiritual places.

You are an old man in the field and an expert, so you should be more familiar with these than me. Can you recommend two suitable ones to me? "

" # ￥% @\u0026" Shopkeeper Chen thought, I shouldn't have come today.

"OK!"

Shopkeeper Chen was indeed an expert. He led Meng Zhou into an alley without leaving the central area, and came to a small courtyard.

This small courtyard looks ordinary, but Meng Zhou knows that it is anything but ordinary.

"Pah, pah, pah—"

Shopkeeper Chen knocked on the door.

"Squeak - ah -"

With the sound of light footsteps, the courtyard door opened slightly, and a little girl with a double bun on her head was revealed from the crack in the door.

While her little body was still in the yard, her big head poked out, her big eyes looked at the two of them curiously, and she asked in a sweet voice, "Who are you looking for?"

Shopkeeper Chen asked: "Is anyone using your second-level spiritual land now?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and then asked hurriedly: "Do you want to use my second-level spiritual land?"

Shopkeeper Chen nodded.

The little girl who was stuck in the crack of the door suddenly retracted her head, and the courtyard door was completely opened. She jumped out of the room, looked up at shopkeeper Chen, and then looked at Meng Zhou beside her, and asked: "Which one of you is coming?" live?"

Meng Zhou said: "Me!"

The little girl looked at Meng Zhou with big eyes: "Are you Zhuji?"

"Replace it if it's fake!"

"You go and wait in the house first!"

After saying these words, the little girl ran away quickly, leaving behind an empty yard and two strange men standing at the door.

Meng Zhou looked at Shopkeeper Chen and asked curiously: "What is going on here?"

Before, Shopkeeper Chen took him into the alleys instead of going to those high-end retreats, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Since he chose to let shopkeeper Chen recommend him instead of finding it himself, he would trust his choice.

But the current situation was really strange, and the curiosity in his heart could no longer be restrained.

Shopkeeper Chen said: "The original owner of this courtyard is this little girl's grandfather, one of the first outsiders in Qinglinfang, and a very capable person.

This second-level spiritual land has always been used by him. However, he died outside due to some reasons a few years ago. "

After hearing this, Meng Zhou was silent for a moment and asked, "Will there be any trouble? I just need a quiet place to practice. It doesn't matter if the price is higher, as long as there can't be any trouble!"

Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will still recommend it to you if you have any trouble."

"The reason why her grandfather died was related to helping Qingxuanzong do a task.

Because of this incident, Qingxuanzong not only gave him a large pension, but also gave He Xinlou and his descendants some conveniences.

The little girl's father is the most successful of her grandfather's children, and now works in Hexin Building.

And this little girl's elder sister was directly recommended to become an outer disciple because of her good talent.

As far as I know, her sister has now met the standards for promotion to the inner sect and will be promoted to the inner sect after the next assessment.

However, her father also spent a lot of resources on this, and now there is an opportunity to use this idle second-level spiritual land to make extra money, why not?

What trouble do you think this could cause? "

After listening to Shopkeeper Chen's introduction, Meng Zhou had to admit that this would indeed be no trouble.

Seeing his silence, shopkeeper Chen said:

"Other foundation-building seniors have the same idea as you, and they don't know much about her family's situation, so they are afraid of getting into trouble, so no one cares about her.

But because of this, you only need to pay at most 30 to 40% of the price of other spiritual lands of the same quality to live in it. "

Meng Zhou nodded. At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the distant alley, approaching quickly.

"Who am I talking about, Chen Gang, when did you get to be friends with Senior Establishment?!"

When Meng Zhou heard this, he looked at shopkeeper Chen and thought to himself, good boy, I asked you to help me find the spiritual land, but you have found an acquaintance's land on your own.

The good news doesn't go to outsiders, right?

However, it seems that the voice is very familiar!

At this moment, the figure coming from the alley in the distance also saw Meng Zhou, and Meng Zhou also saw him.

Meng Zhou was surprised and surprised, and said with a smile: "So this is your home? We are really destined!"

Deacon Zhang, who had just served Meng Zhou tea and water not long ago, was also surprised when he saw Meng Zhou standing in front of the steps.

But he still hurried forward and asked respectfully: "Senior Meng, do you want to use my second-level spiritual land?"

Meng Zhou nodded.

Deacon Zhang immediately said that it would be great to be honored by Senior Meng. He said that the spiritual stone was born and he would live here for as long as he wanted. This would give me a paternal face!

Of course, it was impossible for Meng Zhou to agree. In the end, with the coordination of shopkeeper Chen, the price was negotiated at 30% of the normal spiritual land price.

Meng Zhou paid three middle-grade spiritual stones to the other party on the spot and paid the rent for the next month.

Because Deacon Zhang has to work in Hexin Building on weekdays and leaves early and comes back late. Most of the time, there is only one little girl at home.

This courtyard is equivalent to his, Meng Zhou. Although the courtyard is not big, it is far more comfortable than living in a quiet room. It is equivalent to a small cave.

Meng Zhou was also very satisfied with this.

After seeing Shopkeeper Chen off in person, Meng Zhou gave him a medium-grade spiritual stone as a reward for his trip.

Shopkeeper Chen refused to accept it, and Meng Zhou said calmly: "This is my rule!"

Shopkeeper Chen immediately did not dare to be stubborn anymore and accepted the spirit stone honestly.

Before leaving, he did not forget to say sincerely: "Senior Meng, if you need anything in the future, just let me know and I promise to be on call!"

Meng Zhou smiled and nodded.

After returning to the Zhang family courtyard, Meng Zhou walked around the courtyard under the leadership of Zhang Wei.

The area of ​​the second-level spiritual land is not small. There is not only a quiet room equipped with second-level formations, but also a small study room and living room.

The furnishings inside are very simple and very clean. You can move in with your bags at any time. Obviously Zhang Wei takes care of it regularly.

There is also a small circle of empty courtyard around, with some simple flowers and plants planted.

After walking around for a while, Meng Zhou was very satisfied.

Soon, Zhang Wei left with the little girl who had been jumping in front of and behind them.

Meng Zhou also entered the room. He neither chose to practice nor to think about other things. Instead, he entered the quiet room, lay down directly on the white jade couch in the quiet room, and fell asleep quickly.

From the moment he entered the Hexin Building Quiet Room and began to retreat, even during the most leisurely and relaxing ten days, his heart was still hanging.

This is even more true after starting to officially pass the test and build the foundation. The mental exertion is real.

Now, I can finally let go of everything and rest peacefully for once.

Meng Zhou chose the most original and simple method.

When he opened his eyes he woke up and walked out of the room.

I saw a little girl squatting there in the corner of the small courtyard playing with something unknown. When she saw him coming out, she turned around and looked over curiously. Because of her father's instructions, she now has to stay at a distance even when playing, and cannot go over to disturb her.

Meng Zhou waved, and the little girl ran over.

After some questioning, Meng Zhoucai was surprised to know that today was already the third day of April.

"I slept for three days in a row!"

Meng Zhou muttered to himself, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly walked out of the small courtyard.

After a while, Meng Zhou appeared in front of Xiangming Tower.

Seeing Meng Zhou, shopkeeper Lu strode forward to greet him.

"senior!"

"How are you preparing?"

Shopkeeper Lu said: "I have made all the preparations. I have also invited the two seniors. Now I am waiting for you to choose an auspicious day!"

"In that case, let's do it tomorrow!"

"okay!"

Shopkeeper Lu responded, thought for a moment, and then reported:

"Senior, there are many regular customers who know that you are going to celebrate at Xiangminglou, and they all want to come and admire your style.

Do you think I should allow them to enter the building tomorrow? "

Meng Zhou nodded in agreement. In the past, everyone was in the same room listening to the news. Although most of them were just acquaintances, if they are now willing to come and join in the fun, then come.

I originally wanted to update it by 10,000 words, but I couldn't make it in time. I went with my wife for a pregnancy test today, which wasted too much time.

Let’s talk about the update plan in the future. First, make sure to update 10,000 words every day. First, get two badges, one for updating 10,000 words for ten consecutive days, and then the one for updating for one month.

Hey, today I have 9,000 words and I have to do it all over again. It’s a pity.
