Best Ascension

Chapter 53
There is no calendar day in the mountains, and the year is unknown when the cold is gone.

Since the cold wave closed the mountain, the temperature on Tianzhu Mountain has been getting lower and lower every day.

On the cloudy sea of ​​fog, ice chips are often scattered all over the sky, and the ice chips are blown to the mountain wall by the cold wind. Over time, Tianzhu Mountain is already covered with snow.

In the Dilong cave, Zhao Sheng, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of depression.

He slammed the remains of the mountain dragon on his back a few times, and stood up abruptly from the ground.

How does it feel to enter Baoshan and return empty-handed?
He really feels it now!
The spiritual energy in the Dragon Cave of Mingming Mountain is very strong, but why?
"Ah, why is it all soil spirit energy?" Zhao Sheng shouted a little frantically.

When a person is alone for a long time, it is inevitable that he will lose control of his emotions.

Zhao Sheng almost ran away in anger, took out the dragon claw knife from the storage bag, and slashed at the mountain dragon's remains.

When he was almost done venting his emotions, Zhao Sheng put away his claw knife, stepped forward, bent over and stretched out his hands to gather the chopped remains into a pile, and then carried them into a stone jar not far away.

Today, countless years later, the remains of this mountain dragon have been turned into earth and rocks, and most of the spiritual essence has been lost.

But Zhao Sheng was surprised to find that these "earth and rocks" could be used as medicinal soil.Although it was a little worse than medicinal mud, it was also comparable to spiritual soil.

Therefore, Zhao Sheng, who had repeatedly failed in cultivation, started a part-time job as a medicine farmer, spending a considerable part of his time in the medicine field every day.

Loosening the soil, watering it, spraying the soil with medicine, moving the nest for the spirit earthworm... Zhao Sheng has done all the work that can be imagined.

Or else!

The mountain was closed by the cold wave, and he couldn't practice, so he had to find something to do.

Painter?

He wanted to, but his spiritual power didn't allow it.

As for the Lingyuan Pills that he had saved before entering the mountain, he had eaten them up a month ago.

But the hard times are finally over.

Zhao Sheng counted the days, and it was not too far before the mountain was thawed.

Half a month later,

On the edge of the slope, Zhao Sheng stood on a raised rock, watching the last bit of ice flakes quietly dissolving in the mist, finally showing a smile on his face.

After turning around and sealing the cave on the mountain wall with gravel, Zhao Sheng immediately set foot on the road out of the mountain.

Twenty days later, when he reappeared, he had already arrived at the gate of Dongtian City.

At this time, Zhao Sheng was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe without even a single wrinkle on his clothes.

He looked like a fledgling immortal cultivator, and he couldn't tell that he had just come down from Tianzhu Mountain.

Everything comes first.

Zhao Sheng didn't want to be spotted by the sharp-eyed veterans of Dongtian City because of his clothes and makeup.

After paying the entry tax, Zhao Sheng entered Dongtian City smoothly.

As soon as he passed the gate of the city, he was about to find a place to stay temporarily, but unexpectedly a sloppy figure rushed forward and grabbed his arm.

"Uncle, you're back. I'm almost scared to death. Thank you for your blessing!"

As soon as Zhao Sheng heard this, he immediately dispelled the magic spell in his palm, and after a closer look, it was obvious that this person was Zhao Yongwu.

"Yongwu, I'm just going out for a while. Why are you like this now?" Zhao Sheng asked a little strangely.

Zhao Yongwu smiled wryly when he heard the words, looked around, and quickly whispered: "Uncle, it's not convenient to talk here, let's go home first."

Ok,
Zhao Sheng nodded, and then followed Zhao Yongwu towards the outer city of Dongtian.

……

Seven days later, a rented courtyard in the outer city of Dongtian.In the quiet room, Zhao Sheng opened his eyes, exhaled a long mouthful of white air, and the spiritual power vortex in his body expanded again.

Just now he was promoted to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Zhao Sheng was surprised. He didn't expect that Tianzhu Mountain's life-and-death experience would allow him to break through the barrier between the third and fourth layers of Qi refining.

Although this kind of pass is only a small hurdle in the Qi refining period, it will take at most a few years for a cultivator to break through.

But don't forget that Zhao Sheng is a four-spiritual root with inferior qualifications, and his cultivation speed is much slower than that of the three-spiritual root.

This breakthrough saved him at least three years.

The breakthrough in the realm made Zhao Sheng very happy, and temporarily suppressed his worries about the family.

Seven days ago, he learned from Zhao Yongwu that since the sale of Dongtian City's property, the relationship between the two families of the Zhao family, which had gradually eased, suddenly became tense.

In particular, Erfang believed that there was support in Ziyangzong, so he ignored the opposition of Dafang and began to search the family property more vigorously.

Erfang's move was nominally to renew the lease of Longli Lake, but who knew what was behind it.

Seeing that a conflict was inevitable, both of the Zhao family realized that Zhao Sheng, the nominal "head of the family", suddenly became important.

But at this time, Zhao Sheng went out and did not return.

This time the people in Dafang were in a hurry.

If Zhao Sheng didn't come back, how could they stop Erfang's stupid move in the name of the head of the family.

However, the elders of Dafang never thought that Zhao Sheng would obey their orders?Even. Will he go back?
Zhao Sheng already had the answer in his heart: if he doesn't go back, he won't interfere in the grievances between the two families.

Because he knew that even if he went back, he would not be able to solve the fundamental problem.

The great man once said that to solve things, we must distinguish between the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction.

Zhao Sheng knew very well that there were two root causes of all the conflicts in the Zhao family: one was the lack of foundation-building monks in the family, and the other was the renewal of the lease of Longli Lake.

As long as the above two points are solved, everything else will be easily solved.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng got up and walked out of the house, looking up to the outside of the cave.

By this time twilight had gradually fallen.

He said to himself: "calculate the time, it should be coming soon!"

The next morning, when Zhao Sheng was drawing the talisman, Zhao Yongwu walked into the room excitedly and brought good news.

The elder Zhao Jinding came in person.

After a while, Zhao Sheng stepped into the living room, and was the first to see Zhao Jinding sitting on the chair on the upper left with a pale face.

At this time, beside him, sat an old man with a thin figure and a face somewhat similar to Zhao Jinding.

Zhao Sheng looked at this person, and thought to himself: "Could it be that he is the leader of the Zhao family's Anbu?"

At that time, Zhao Sheng learned the lesson of Fangyan Valley's demise and knew that eggs cannot be put in one basket, so two years before his death, he personally formed the Zhao Clan's Anbu.

After entering the living room, Zhao Sheng greeted Zhao Jinding, and Zhao Jinding quickly introduced the identity of the old man to Zhao Sheng.

As expected, the old man was indeed the leader of the Anbu of the Zhao family's generation, his real name was Zhao Jinjian, and he was a nine-level immortal cultivator of Qi refining.

After the three of them sat down again, Zhao Jinding's complexion changed, and he asked in a solemn tone: "Chonghe, you can talk now. Why did you have to bring the golden sword to Dongtian City? Don't you know that he has a special identity?"

The reason why Zhao Jinding said this was because Zhao Sheng had set the rules back then, once a clan member became an Anbu, they would be independent from the clan and absolutely not allowed to intervene in the clan affairs, let alone contaminate power.

Zhao Sheng smiled, did not explain, but took out a jade box from the storage bag, pushed it in front of Zhao Jinding, and signaled him to open it.

At the same time, Zhao Jinjian, who was sitting silently by the side, was secretly observing Zhao Sheng.

For the youngest and most special head of the Zhao family in 300 years.It would be a lie to say he wasn't interested.

After wandering around the world of cultivating immortals for decades, Zhao Jinjian has known countless people, but he has never seen such a special person as the one in front of him.

He is obviously young and weak, but his demeanor is extremely mature and calm.It doesn't look like a young man at all, but like an old monster that has lived for hundreds of years.

Weird, really strange!
Could it be that someone took it away?
Zhao Jinjian was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard Zhao Jinding exclaim.

　Thank you for the 2000 coins I love for book friends, fine wine, and sweet potatoes.Thank you Baimei.
