After staying in Zhao Mansion for two days, Han Xuanwu set off to return to Ziyang Sect and began to prepare for the auction.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's two months later.
On that day, the Ziyang Market was festooned with lights and overflowing with people. Countless cultivators, drawn to this massive auction, had flocked to the area.
Zhao Sheng, his son Zhao Chengle and daughter-in-law Han Qingqing would naturally not miss this event.
When Han Xuanwu entered the auction venue, Zhao Chengle and Han Qingqing also went in and out of various major medicine shops and spiritual medicine stores, buying many different kinds of spiritual medicine seeds.
Zhao Sheng is a mortal and it is not convenient for him to come forward, so he has to let the two of them take action.
Why buy elixir seeds?
Of course, it was because Zhao Sheng wanted to take the risk and go to the sloped medicinal garden again.
On the one hand, he wanted to harvest the spiritual medicines, and on the other hand, he wanted to take advantage of the unique environment there to actively cultivate some spiritual medicines that are rare in the outside world but very important.
For example, the other two main ingredients of the golden elixir are Qiongshen Flower and Jiuqu Ginseng, etc.
The saying "plan for the present, plan for the millennium" applies to people like Zhao Sheng.
Cultivating elixirs is just the beginning.
…
A month later.
As the last batch of Zi Yang Sect servants evacuated from Longli Lake, Zhao Sheng's family, led by Han Xuanwu, moved to the manor by the lake.
It has been more than two thousand years since Longli Lake was discovered and developed, and the Ziyang Sect has been operating here for nearly a thousand years.
Therefore, Longli Lake has long been developed and mature, and its annual output and income are very stable.
The price of the Longli Lake Centennial Order is not high, only 63,000 spirit stones.
This is because its spiritual vein is a first-level water spiritual vein, most of which is at the bottom of the lake.
Unlike the spiritual veins in the mountains and plains, not only can spiritual grains and spiritual medicines be grown, but even some small spiritual mines can occasionally be discovered.
Despite its vast size, covering over 200 square miles, Longli Lake offered few other stable products. Besides selling some spiritual fish and shrimp, its most famous products were the Red Carp and the Green Carp, two first-tier demon fish.
If you are lucky enough, you might be able to catch a dragon carp.
Dragon carp is a hybrid of red carp and green carp, a rare species of carp that is rarely seen in decades.
It is rumored that dragon carp contains a trace of true dragon blood. Eating it can greatly enhance the potential of dragon-type monsters such as Jiao and Python.
Zhao Sheng didn't have high hopes for Long Li. After all, after bidding for the Hundred Years Order and finding a safe place for the Zhao family, he was already very satisfied and would not ask for anything more.
Dragon Carp Lake also had its share of surprises. Zhao Sheng unexpectedly discovered eight acres of spiritual farmland by the lake.
There is no doubt that this was secretly opened up by someone without the sect's knowledge, and no one knows who gave him such courage.
Well, the emperor is far away in Longli Lake, and the menial disciples here might unite and collude with each other.
Of course, it was not something Zhao Sheng should be concerned about. Although the eight acres of spiritual field was not large, it was enough for the Zhao family with two or three cats of different sizes.
One thing surprised Zhao Sheng very much. Since moving to Longli Lake, the relationship between Zhao Chengle and Han Qingqing has improved greatly.
When the eighth brother Zhao Cheng was working diligently on the spiritual field, Han Qingqing unexpectedly became pregnant again.
This was a great joyous event, not only for the Zhao family, but also for Zhao Sheng.
For the sake of his third grandson who would be born in eight months, Zhao Sheng suddenly became busy and prepared to go into the mountains early.
Fasting pills, deodorizing powder, protective jade token, semi-magic longbow, armor-piercing arrows, semi-magic mixed-gold soft sword...
As items were bought one by one, the day for Zhao Sheng to go into the mountains finally arrived.
He did not explain to his family the dangers of the trip, only saying that he was going to Tianzhu Mountain to collect herbs.
Before leaving, Zhao Sheng pulled Zhao Cheng aside and secretly handed a brocade bag to his son, saying that if he did not return within half a year, he should open the brocade bag.
Although Zhao Chengle was lazy, he was not stupid. He quickly realized that his father's words clearly contained a farewell.
However, no matter how he persuaded, Zhao Sheng never changed his mind.
Soon, Zhao Sheng resolutely bid farewell to his family and headed towards Tianzhu Mountain.
…
Three months later, when Zhao Sheng reappeared in Longli Lake, he had a broken arm and his chest and abdomen were covered with deep wounds, as if they had been repeatedly scratched by the claws of some terrifying monster.
At that time, Zhao Sheng's body was on the verge of collapse and he was seriously injured and dying.
As soon as he saw his wife Wang Yuqi, Zhao Sheng relaxed and immediately fell to the ground unconscious.
The pillar of the Zhao family suddenly collapsed, and the old lady Wang Yuqi fainted from fright. At this time, Han Qingqing suddenly stood up and quickly stabilized the situation.
While strictly sealing the news, she sent a message to Han Xuanwu asking him to come to Longli Lake as soon as possible to take charge of the situation.
Not only was Han Xuanwu the only one who could save Zhao Sheng, but also when Han Qingqing and Zhao Cheng were packing up Zhao Sheng's things, they were shocked to find a backpack full of spiritual herbs, each of which was at least several hundred years old.
After receiving the message from his beloved daughter, Han Xuanwu immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
Because he knew his daughter very well, she would never send him a message unless it was something very serious.
So, Han Xuanwu immediately ended his retreat, rented the sect's Wanli Cloud Eagle, and arrived at Longli Lake in just half a day.
Fortunately, he arrived quickly and had a first-grade, top-grade resurrection pill on him, which narrowly saved Zhao Sheng's life.
It took Zhao Sheng two full years to recover from his injuries.
But the price this time was too high. Not only did he lose an arm, his realm stopped at the innate limit, and his strength was only 60% left, and he would never be able to recover.
Even worse...
Name: Zhao Zhiqin (Zhao Sheng)
Lifespan: 79/99
Realm: Innate Limit (Half-Step to Divinity)
Physique: Centenarian (Ordinary), Light as a Swallow (Ordinary)
Talents: Dynamic Vision (Ordinary), Psychic Nose (Ordinary)
Skills: Floating Light Sword Technique (unprecedented), Blue Sea Tide Technique (mastered to perfection), Cloud Dragon Nine Transformations (unprecedented), Wind Chasing Arrow Technique (mastered to perfection), Horizontal Refining Iron Body (breaks the skill)
In order to enter the sloped medicinal medicine garden, he lost twenty years of his life.
But in Zhao Sheng's opinion, he made a profit in this deal after all.
He always kept a saying in mind: Don't fight for the superiority or inferiority in one life, but wait for ten lives to see who is superior or inferior!
As the owner of the "Book of a Hundred Generations", Zhao Sheng definitely has this long-term vision.
After this incident, Zhao Sheng announced his retirement and lived a leisurely life raising grandchildren.
…
Ten years later, the atmosphere in the Zhao Mansion's backyard was extremely heavy, and the servants and maids didn't dare to breathe.
Outside an inner room filled with a strong smell of medicine, Zhao Cheng, whose hair was beginning to turn gray, walked around the courtyard with an anxious and worried look on his face, just like Zhao Sheng sixty years ago. Behind him stood seventeen or eighteen people, all of whom were Zhao Sheng's descendants.
This is the day his grandson was born.
On the same day, his mother, Wang Yuqi, was already on her deathbed.
At this critical moment, their own father actually kicked out their entire family.
It's simply unreasonable!
Humph, the older you get, the more confused you become!
The more Zhao Cheng thought about it, the angrier he became, and his expression grew darker. But if he were asked to break into the house, he didn't have the courage.
It's not that I really don't dare, but I really can't beat him.
Even though his father is almost ninety years old, since he created the three magical skills two years ago, he can easily beat him, who is at the fourth level of Qi Training.
