Chapter 188 New Neighbors in Donggeng District
It has been a month since Li Xiuchang returned to the sect. He finally received good news from the sect that the problem of Shahe Sect has been solved.
After receiving the news, Xianchen Sect immediately sent an investigation team to Shahe Sect to investigate and collect evidence, confirming that there was a robbery in Shahe Sect, and the relevant persons involved were either shot dead on the spot or arrested.
However, there are two things that make the investigators feel confused.
One is that not long ago, the master of Shahe Sect, Elder Wu, died suddenly.
The second is that the leader of Shahe Sect seemed to have sensed the danger in advance and had fled before the members of the investigating clan arrived.
The members of the investigation team reported the two things to the sect, but the sect did not respond to the first thing, and it seemed to be left unresolved.
The second thing is that Xianchen Sect arranged for the fortune teller to calculate that the leader of Shahe Sect had fled to the East Region, and immediately contacted the people of Yintian Sect to assist in the arrest.
A few days later, the people of Yintian Sect successfully arrested the leader of Shahe Sect...
But these had little to do with Li Xiuchang, he just finally got the rewarded contribution points.
Li Xiuchang's total contribution points finally exceeded 80,000, and he immediately contacted Senior Brother Chu Ya, saying that he wanted to repay his debt.
Contribution points cannot be traded, so the so-called repayment is actually to help Senior Brother Chu Ya exchange the items he wants.
But Senior Brother Chu Ya said that he didn't have anything he wanted to exchange for the time being, so he asked Li Xiuchang to keep the contribution points first and contact Li Xiuchang when he needed them.
At the end of the chat, Senior Brother Chu Ya implicitly suggested that there might be something to ask Li Xiuchang in a while, and at that time, some contribution points could be used to offset the reward.
Li Xiuchang asked directly: "Senior Brother Chu, what is it?"
Chu Ya replied: "I'll talk to you in person in a few days."
Li Xiuchang was in a state, so it was not easy to ask.
…
After that, Li Xiuchang took some time to visit the new magic village, comforted the wolf souls who were struggling on the front line of mining, and harvested and planted a batch of spiritual plants.
When he returned to Donggeng District, he heard a piece of news - there was a new neighbor in Donggeng District!
Donggeng District used to have no new people living in it for decades. This time, less than five years after Li Xiuchang moved into Donggeng District, another stubborn person moved in.
"Is it because Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi and I became famous one after another, so everyone is no longer afraid of the curse of Donggeng District?"
Li Xiuchang also learned the news from Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi.
The new neighbor did not move from other areas, but was a new disciple who had just entered the door and lived in No. 13, Donggeng District.
"Male or female?" Li Xiuchang asked.
"Male." Zhang Wanzhi smiled, "Shall I take you to meet him?"
Li Xiuchang looked at Senior Brother Zhang and seemed to have become familiar with the new disciple, but he was not surprised, because Senior Brother Zhang had good relationships wherever he went.
Li Xiuchang was also very curious about this new disciple. In his opinion, those who live in Donggeng District have more or less secrets.
"Okay, then let's go and meet him." Li Xiuchang agreed.
On the way to No. 13, Donggeng District, Li Xiuchang was thinking that from now on, he was finally no longer the youngest and weakest newbie in Donggeng District.
Dongdongdongdong!
Zhang Wanzhi knocked on the door of No. 13, Donggeng District.
After a while, the door was opened, revealing a simple and honest young face.
Thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face.
A new disciple who has just entered the sect must be under 18 years old. The simple and honest man in front of him must not look very old, but because of his honest and simple face, he is less youthful and more like a man in his twenties.
The honest man saw the two people and said awkwardly: "Two senior brothers."
Zhang Wanzhi smiled and introduced Li Xiuchang to him: "This is Junior Brother Li Xiuchang who lives at No. 18, Donggeng District. He entered the sect a few years earlier than you. You can just call him Senior Brother Li."
"Senior Brother Li." The honest man saluted.
Li Xiuchang felt uncomfortable when he was called like this and saluted by the other party.
It seemed that he was going to shorten his life.
He subconsciously dodged the other party's salute.
"This...no need to be polite." Li Xiuchang didn't even say the word "junior brother".
Something's wrong!
Li Xiuchang didn't know if he was too nervous or what was wrong, but he always felt that it was strange to get along with the honest man in front of him.
"Well, I wonder what this...fellow disciple, what is your name?" Li Xiuchang asked.
"My name is Luyang."
Luyang...Li Xiuchang, who was suspicious in his heart, had begun to suspect that this was a fake name.
According to his experience in his previous life, people named Lu are often not surnamed Lu, such as Lu Ban, Lu Xun, Lu Yu...
Li Xiuchang thought of several other senior brothers in Donggeng District, all of whom had big secrets. Compared with them, he might be the most normal one.
This newcomer Lu Yang might have sneaked in by hiding his strength!
Thinking of this, Li Xiuchang waved his hand and said, "Brother Lu Yang, you and I are almost the same age, so don't distinguish so clearly, just call each other brothers."
Lu Yang shook his head and said, "That's not allowed. Senior brother is older than me in both cultivation and age. I must call him senior brother. This is a matter of etiquette."
Li Xiuchang said sullenly, "If you must follow etiquette and distinguish between the old and the young, you will call me little brother in the future, and I will call you big brother."
An old ginseng that has been around for hundreds of years is pretending to be a young carrot here!
Zhang Wanzhi, who was watching the excitement on the side, laughed out loud.
"Okay, Lu Yang, don't embarrass Xiuchang, you can just call him by his name in the future." Zhang Wanzhi said happily.
Lu Yang glanced at Zhang Wanzhi in surprise and agreed: "That's it, I'll call you Xiuchang from now on."
Li Xiuchang took a look and realized that something was even more wrong. It was obvious that Lu Yang knew senior brother Zhang Wanzhi!
They won't be together!
The more Li Xiuchang thought about it, the more suspicious he became. Lu Yang was probably acquainted with several neighboring senior brothers.
The team of neighbor brothers has grown again!
Speaking of which, Li Xiuchang has always wondered why the neighboring brothers, all of whom are extremely capable, live in the small Donggeng District outside the Xianchen Sect.
It's not enough for four people to stay here, how about a fifth one?
Will there be a sixth one later?
Of course, now is not the time to think about this. Li Xiuchang followed Zhang Wanzhi into Lu Yang's residence.
The house is kept quite neatly.
It's not just clean, but neat. From the house to the yard, every item is placed in categories. Tables, chairs and benches are neatly arranged. Various bottles and cans are placed according to size and color. Even the The patterns exposed on the bottle must be arranged at the same angle.
At first glance, he looks like a patient with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Li Xiuchang looked at the large and small bottles and jars and wine jars, and said doubtfully: "Brother Lu, what are you..."
Lu Yang spoke a little slowly, and said unhurriedly: "I have always been interested in brewing wine, and I plan to specialize in the art of immortal brewing in the future."
"I see."
Immortal brewing is also considered an unpopular skill. It is actually relatively rare to practice the Immortal Brewing skill alone. Usually, they are spiritual chefs who work part-time as immortal brewing masters.
If it were anyone else, Li Xiuchang would be a little surprised, but Lu Yang, who is suspected of hiding Lao Deng, knows how many skills he knows, so there is nothing surprising.
Li Xiuchang and Zhang Wanzhi chatted for a while at Lu Yang's residence. During this period, the familiarity revealed in Zhang Wanzhi and Lu Yang's words inadvertently confirmed Li Xiuchang's suspicion.
This visit made Li Xiuchang and Lu Yang become familiar with each other.
After saying goodbye, Li Xiuchang returned to his residence and thought about it for a long time without any clue.
A group of big guys gathered in Donggeng District. Is it to provide for their retirement?
Obviously impossible.
What is that for?
Are you planning something detrimental to the Fairy Dust Sect?
If this were the case, Li Xiuchang wouldn't even know how to deal with himself.
Several senior brothers take good care of him, but the sect is also very good to him. If he is caught in the middle, he will only be in a dilemma.
"Let's take a step and see."
Li Xiuchang rubbed his head and put this behind him.
Among the several neighbor brothers, Chen Changsheng, who appears to be the oldest, has been dormant in the Immortal Dust Sect for at least two hundred years and has not done much.
Even if the senior brothers have a plan, they might still be dormant for hundreds of years.
At the rate at which his cultivation is improving now, let alone hundreds of years, he might be able to ascend to immortality in a hundred or so years, and it might not be his turn to worry about these things.
Li Xiuchang gathered his thoughts and concentrated on practicing his skills.
During the few months of traveling with Senior Brother Chen Changsheng, he didn't have much time to practice his skills, which resulted in a slow growth in length. In addition, he had used a lot of lengths recently, so the length value was always hovering around 300.
In the next few days, it’s time to calm down and improve your skills.
By the way, I insist on taking the mixture of "blood-tonifying medicinal mud" and "blood bodhi fruit puree" to improve my physical training to the peak of the third level as soon as possible.
…
Just like this, some time passed, and Li Xiuchang insisted on taking a large amount of "Mixed Double Mud" every day, because the "blood-tonifying mud" could offset the side effects of the "blood bodhi fruit mud", which made Li Xiuchang's blood refining progress at a rapid pace, and his body refining ability Finally entered the late third level.
As long as you continue to take the mixed double mud, it won't take long to reach the third level peak.
On this day, senior brother Chu Ya came to visit and found Li Xiuchang.
"Junior Brother Li." Chu Ya asked, "What is the highest level of spiritual flower you can plant now?"
When Senior Brother Chu Ya said that he had something to ask me, did he mean planting flowers?
Li Xiuchang can actually plant fourth-order spiritual flowers now, but he still replied: "At most, you can only plant third-order spiritual flowers."
“Can’t we plant the fourth-level ones?”
Li Xiuchang thought for a moment and said, "It's still possible."
Chu Ya's face was filled with joy: "Could it be that junior brother has been promoted to the third level of spiritual cultivation?"
To be able to plant fourth-order spiritual flowers, even the most difficult fourth-order spiritual flowers, one must be at least a third-order spiritual planter.
Li Xiuchang shook his head. The third level was impossible. He would never reach the third level in this life.
He explained: "No, it just requires spending some spiritual stones and asking a third-level spiritual planter to help provide some assistance. My current spiritual planting skills are still stuck at the peak of the second level, and I am still a little far away from the third level."
"It doesn't matter if you spend more spirit stones." Chu Ya said with blazing eyes, "Junior brother, help me plant more spirit flowers. This time I want a large quantity. I want spirit flowers from the first to the fourth order. All kinds of flowers. I want nine hundred and ninety-nine flowers. The sooner I plant them, the better!”
"The price is easy to negotiate, and I will pay for your hiring."
Li Xiuchang was a little surprised. Although Senior Brother Chu Ya had always ordered spiritual flowers from him, this was the first time he ordered so many at one time.
With so many spiritual flowers, that's a lot of money.
"Senior brother, you want so many flowers...to express your love?"
Chu Ya nodded solemnly and said excitedly: "Junior brother, I may have met true love this time!"
