Shangyuque

Chapter 101 The Immortal Venerable with a smiling face and a compassionate face spoke calmly (1.03W, please vote for me)

In a special support battle, Yulou obtained the Alligator Dragon's Tail, but his gains were more than that.

In the battle that night, Wang Yulou's performance was too outstanding.

Even with the presence of two high-level Qi training monks, he actually received the most merit rewards.

Although the effectiveness of magic weapons and the cooperation of many fellow Taoists were factors in this.

Without the top-grade jade blade made of eighth-grade corundum, it would be impossible for Wang Yulou, a beginner in Qi training, to break the iron armor of the Iron Crocodile Dragon.

Without the cooperation of many fellow Taoists and fellow disciples to create an output environment for him, Wang Yulou would not have been able to safely and steadily make three slashes.

But in the final analysis, Wang Yulou was strong enough to find the opportunity and seize it.

After this battle, both Zhang Xuewu and Cui Dingyi suffered a huge shock.

The disciples of Huachi Palace and Bishui Palace seemed to be only one level apart, and their cultivation levels were not much different either - they all practiced Qi cultivation.

But in fact, the difference is as great as heaven and earth.

Ji Yuan has the ability, Lin Ying has the background, and Wang Yulou has an extraordinary background and is capable. No matter how corrupt this immortal version of the Nine-Rank System is, the people it selects are indeed much more capable than Zhang Xuewu and Cui Dingyi, who came from humble backgrounds.

This is due to the role of the screening mechanism and the different levels of resources behind it.

However, despite exposing a trump card and showing strong strength, Yulou did not change its attitude towards Zhang Xuewu and Cui Dingyi.

Regarding this, Zhang Xuewu only felt that Fellow Daoist Yulou was friendly, but Lao Cui felt a little uncomfortable.

Young, born into an extraordinary family, extremely talented, powerful, and with a heart as deep as a lake. When these words are arranged and combined together, Cui Dingyi is left with only fear in his heart, in addition to jealousy.

He knew that Wang Yulou had set his sights on him, but Wang Yulou did nothing and just urged him to build the building and repair the sluice gate properly.

In this regard, Cui Dingyi had no choice but to obey the order and, as a dignified guardian monk, took on the job of a contractor.
-
Wang Yulou was naturally not anxious about Lao Cui, as he knew that there was no point in being anxious.

It will take time for Li Changming to produce results, and it will also take time for Wang Yulou to practice.

Time, standing here in Yulou, Lao Cui is old after all.

After returning to his mansion in Hewan Fishing Village, Yulou devoted all his energy to the research of the crocodile's tail.

The Iron Crocodile is advanced from the Iron-Armored Crocodile. It is one of the rare monsters in the Small Demon Realm that has the nature of a dragon.

The nature of a dragon is actually a complex thing. Dragon whiskers are the nature of a dragon, dragon scales are the nature of a dragon, and dragon claws are also the nature of a dragon.

The rest of the dragon blood, dragon tail, dragon horns, dragon, etc. can all be regarded as some kind of external manifestation of the dragon nature.

But the special thing about the Iron Crocodile Dragon is that there are three features on its body that show the dragon nature.

The crocodile dragon armor corresponds to the dragon scales.

The crocodile's tail corresponds to the dragon's tail.

The crocodile claw corresponds to the dragon claw.

Of course, although it is said to be corresponding, corresponding does not mean completely equal. The dragon nature manifested in the Iron Alligator Dragon has only preliminary characteristics and is still a long way from being a real dragon.

However, this is already exciting enough, otherwise Yulou would not have suddenly burst out and revealed his top-grade magic weapon, the jade blade.

Ji Yuan and Lin Ying were both very afraid of the mysterious existence who raised the Iron Crocodile Dragon, so they gave up the qualification to distribute the Crocodile Tail at the same time, allowing the outsider monk Wang Yulou to get a great advantage out of thin air.

But looking at the crocodile tail that was about six feet long, Yulou was actually a little worried - he couldn't handle this thing.

Among the materials of monsters, spirit bones are the most common, and teeth, horns, claws, etc. can also be considered spirit bones.

Thanks to his long-term donkey-raising career, Wang has become very skilled in bone-training.

However, the parts of the crocodile tail that belong to the spiritual bones are actually a minority. The most important ones are the iron crocodile back tendons, crocodile iron armor, and crocodile fascia.

But the back muscles in the dragon's tail are too short and difficult to handle.

In addition, the crocodile tail weighs more than 400 kilograms, and the crocodile meat in it is of excellent quality. It is an excellent material for refining essence and blood pills and other types of animal meat pills.

Yulou was not very familiar with alchemy, so he had no choice but to send someone to the Hall of Merit to invite Wu Faxian.

Although I don't have much friendship with Old Wu, at least I know him.

The crocodile tail is difficult to preserve for a long time. Yulou wants to use the crocodile meat and the difficult-to-process crocodile back tendons to exchange for some merits, so as to repay the merits owed to the Bishui Palace as soon as possible.

After receiving the news from the Qi-inducing monk in Hewan Fishing Village, Wu Faxian rushed to Hewan Fishing Village again.

In the Yulou Mansion, Wu Faxian stared at the huge crocodile tail in amazement and asked with a sour taste in his mouth.

"Fellow Daoist Yuque, is this the tail left by the three iron crocodiles?"

The three iron crocodiles had been active along the shores of Xiushui Lake for many years, during which time they had attacked the fishing villages along the lake more than a dozen times, and each time they attacked the villages like they were eating at a buffet.

Wu Faxian never expected that Wang Yulou could actually obtain a crocodile tail. You know, he had just started practicing Qi.

Many high-level Qi training disciples of the Bishui Palace were helpless in the face of a group attack by three iron crocodiles, but Wang Yulou actually did it.

Wu Faxian became more and more certain that it was absolutely worthwhile for him to be on good terms with Wang Yulou.

What does it matter if he earns less? This person may be the future leader of Dripping Cave.

"Senior Brother Wu, you misunderstood. I won this together with Senior Brother Ji and Senior Sister Lin. It's just that there's something filthy about it. Please listen to me."

After Yulou briefly explained what happened last night, Wu Faxian could no longer sit still.

"You mean, those three iron crocodiles might be kept captive?"

Yulou nodded solemnly. No matter how powerful the monsters in the small demon realm were, it was impossible for them to learn to communicate in human language out of thin air. The only explanation was that someone was training them in secret.

If we consider what Zhuochi had revealed at the beginning, the factors involved become complicated. Perhaps the three iron crocodiles are backed by a foundation-building cultivator from the Dripping Cave.

"Yes, but you don't have to worry. It's impossible for that person to cause trouble for the Bishui Palace just because the Bishui Palace's Merit Hall collected some monster materials." Yulou added.

There is a gap between the disciples of Bishui Palace, Qingquan Palace and Huachi Palace, but in the system of Dripping Cave, the three halls are among the strongest halls, and Bishui Palace even manages all the inner disciples.

Even if the person behind the Iron Crocodile Dragon is the head of the Dripping Water Cave or a senior foundation-building practitioner, he cannot cause trouble to the Jade Tower or the Green Water Palace because of this matter.

Yulou is not the direct descendant of the Dripping Cave, and has not yet revealed any intention of competing with the direct descendants of the Dripping Cave for resources. No one wants to offend the King of Anbei Kingdom - it's not worth it.

The Bishui Palace is the management place for inner disciples. Under normal operation, it is reasonable and legal for it to collect some iron crocodile meat. Naturally, no one will take the opportunity to cause trouble.

"Okay, then, Fellow Daoist Yuque, what is your estimate of the value of this alligator dragon tail?"

Wu Faxian understood Yulou’s meaning. If someone was causing trouble, it was not their turn to intervene!
Yulou has learned from Patriarch Wang Jingyi and others that there are too many problems in the world of immortal cultivation and in the cave heavens. How many of them can he take care of?

Regarding the issue of the three alligators, he had already sent a sound transmission note to Uncle Zhuochi to report. This was the limit of what he could do. If there were more, Wang Yulou would not be able to handle it.

"This 400-jin tail has about 220 jin of meat. How about 200 spirit stones?"

Yulou asked tentatively, the crocodile's tail is heavy, but the main weight is on the crocodile's armor.

Although these scales only cover the upper part of the alligator's tail, it weighs a full two hundred kilograms. Although the alligator meat looks a lot, it actually does not weigh much.

Two hundred spirit stones, equivalent to forty merit points, he thought this offer was reasonable.

“No, no, the price of monster meat is nothing to talk about. Two hundred spirit stones is based on our selling price.

Fellow Daoist Yuque, of course I want to give you a higher salary, but there are so many deacons in the Merit Hall that my words alone cannot carry any weight."

Wu Faxian frowned and complained. Naturally, he wanted to earn some money, and the Merit Hall was not a charity, so there had to be some profit as part of the sect's income.

"Then how much would you say is appropriate?"

Yulou was not annoyed. After all, it was a business and he was the seller, so naturally he had to quote a high price and wait for the other party to bargain.

Picking up the crocodile meat and looking at it, Wu Faxian thought for a moment and said.

"The Iron Crocodile Dragon has the nature of a dragon after all, so I'll charge you three spirit stones for five kilograms. I can convert it directly into merit for you.

"Two hundred and twenty kilograms is one hundred and thirty-two spirit stones, which is twenty-two merit points. That's enough, twenty-five merit points. Isn't that enough?"

When he reported 22 points of merit, Wu Faxian noticed that Yulou's face looked strange, so he quickly added three more points.

"Thirty points, fixed price. If it doesn't work out, I'll have someone leave the cave and sell it at Qingxifang!"

Yulou was naturally confident, as he was familiar with Qingxifang.

If the crocodile meat can be delivered to Zhiweifang, Old Tang can make a profit of at least 400 spirit stones!
"It's too troublesome to leave the cave, and this crocodile meat is only worth spirit stones when it's fresh. So, twenty-seven points!
Fellow Daoist Yuque, we hit it off right away and had a wonderful conversation. I've already given you my highest price, and I really can't offer any higher."

Wu Faxian reluctantly gave him a little, and took another half-spiritual rice essence-enhancing pill.

With a wave of his hand, Wang Yulou did not hesitate. He could not take all the advantages by himself and prevent his fellow Taoists from getting rich, otherwise he would end up being a lonely man.

"Twenty-eight, if you agree, let's talk about the crocodile's back tendons!"

So, Wu Faxian agreed with a painful look on his face and a smile on his face, and even paid Yulou the merit on the spot.

However, the back tendons in the crocodile's tail were too short. When pulled out, they were only two feet long, and in the end, they only earned fourteen points of merit.

As for the Crocodile Iron Armor, Wu Faxian asked for it several times, but Yulou showed no intention of selling it.

This stuff is really good stuff. The two high-level iron crocodiles relied on their iron armor to block countless attacks from magical weapons and spells. Yulou planned to keep them and use them to refine his own weapons.

After all, the Ruyi Golden Light is something that no matter how much you have, it is never too much.

Only by refining more tools and making more talismans can you accumulate more golden light and thus give full play to the magical effect of this mysterious arm.

The crocodile's entire body is a treasure. Its meat and back tendons were exchanged for 42 points of Bishui Palace merit. The remaining armor can be used to practice weapons, and its fascia can be used to make talismans.

However, Yulou had no intention of refining the weapon for the time being. He accepted the remaining materials and looked up at the sky.

Beyond the dripping sky, the sun is high in the sky, and the so-called Immortal Palace appears and disappears among the clouds, which does have some immortal style.

The news has been reported to Zhuochi. Will someone come to deal with the three rebellious iron crocodiles?
Also, judging by the time, He Lao San should have almost arrived at Wangjiashan. I wonder how the clan will handle my request for help?

Sitting in front of the statue of the Immortal Lord, with wisps of green smoke floating in the quiet room, Yulou began his practice for the day.

Since pulse tracing cannot be carried out for the time being, then one should first cultivate the Guishui spiritual energy and improve one's cultivation.

After taking a Qi-transforming pill worth five spirit stones, his cultivation speed will increase by about three times in the next five days.

In the fierce battle with the Iron Crocodile Dragon last night, he used up all his spiritual power after only using a top-grade magic weapon to slash three times with full force.

If his cultivation level was higher, not to mention how high, but at the intermediate level of Qi training, Yulou would have the confidence to keep the weakest iron crocodile dragon.
-
Baimao Fishing Port.

After being attacked by monsters, the system of the Dripping Cave would naturally not sit idly by. The Cave Patrol arrived at the Baimao Fishing Port before dawn.

First, they investigated the damage caused by the monster attacks - don't get me wrong, they counted the number of monks who had died. No one cared about mortals. They were like weeds, they would disappear and grow back on their own in a few years.

Then, it is to evaluate whether anyone has fled or done other illegal things in the process of resisting the monster attacks.

The guarding monks, the guarding monks, are required to stay at their posts and stick to the end. Unless the situation is really difficult to maintain, they cannot leave. This also includes the Qingquan Palace disciples in the Qi Induction Stage.

Yulou's judgment was correct. The cave was too peaceful. This seemingly cruel rule, which was actually cruel, was set up by the Dripping Cave to train and temper its disciples.

However, the three iron crocodiles last night were so ferocious that one of the three Qi-cultivating monks guarding Baimao Fishing Village was killed and one was injured. Only Ji Yuan was safe and sound, and most of the monks in the Qi-inducing period were killed.

"Junior Brother Ji Yuan, Yuan Lao Si didn't come, why didn't you inform us?"

Wang Yaohai, the captain of the Dongtian patrol team, is an experienced Qi practitioner with many years of experience. His cultivation has reached the peak of Qi training. After receiving the news from his subordinates, he suppressed his anger and questioned Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan looked calm, but he sighed slightly in his heart, why bothering me?

Lin Ying made things difficult for me, and the patrol team also made things difficult for me, but I have done everything I could.

"Brother Wang, I haven't rested for even a moment since last night.

Seeing Baimao Fishing Village suffer such a heavy blow and his former fellow disciples perishing one after another, Yuan was extremely sad.

I forgot about Fourth Brother for a moment, please forgive me."

Ji Yuan had a miserable look on his face. He paused after each sentence and it took him a long time to finish a short sentence.

Brother, I have tried my best and I am worthy of my responsibilities and position.

Senior brother, my strength is limited. I am a disciple of the Yuan family. Please don't make things difficult for me.

Seeing Ji Yuan's statement, patrol captain Wang Yaohai's anger also dissipated.

Yes, he couldn’t directly accuse Yuan Laosi of dereliction of duty, so forget it.

"Junior Brother Ji, you have made great contributions in subduing the demon. After our investigation results are reported, the sect's reward will be reviewed by the Dishuitian Elders Council and distributed at their discretion.

So many people have died, and you can go to Huachi Palace and Qingquan Palace to apply for the vacancies.

In the coming period, you will need to take great care to restore the prosperity of Baimao Fishing Port as soon as possible."

After saying this, Wang Yaohai turned around and was about to leave on the magical bird, the blue-tailed duck.

The blue-tailed duck is one of the representative spiritual birds cultivated in the Dripping Cave. In the Dripping Cave, where water-attributed spiritual energy is predominant, it has good combat effectiveness and flying speed, and is therefore chosen by the cave patrol team as a patrol spiritual bird.

"Brother Wang, how are you going to deal with Fourth Brother?"

Ji Yuan couldn't help but asked.

Wang Yaohai smiled coldly and said sarcastically.

"How dare we deal with someone from the Yuan family? Only with the support of other foundation-building cultivators will we have a chance to deal with him."

He was not mocking Ji Yuan, he was just too helpless about some things and some people in the Dripping Cave and could only vent his dissatisfaction in a mocking way.

Ji Yuan did not report Yuan Laosi, and he was also familiar with Lin Ying, the female cultivator of the Lin family, Wang Yaohai. He was sure that Lin Ying would not report Yuan Laosi either.

In addition, although he had never met Wang Yulou, Yulou was a disciple of a large external family, and it was even less likely that he would be involved in some of the things happening in the Dripping Cave.

Therefore, Wang Yaohai has determined that even if they really go to Mu'ao to investigate, they will not find any useful evidence - the key point is useful.

The three disciples of the Bishui Palace all had their reasons for not exposing Yuan Laosi. It would be useless for the Dongtian Law Enforcement Team to find any evidence on their own.

In the sky of Wunan is the Immortal Alliance, and in the sky of Dripping Cave is Dripping Heaven and the Immortal Palace. In fact, they are the same thing.

It’s just that in the Dripping Cave, the specifications in all aspects have been slightly lowered.
-
Two days later, Yulou was inspecting the construction of the sluice gate.

The construction workers of the Hewan Village sluice project are mainly warriors, with the help of Qi-inducing cultivators. Cui Dingyi, who has five spiritual roots, sometimes does the work himself and uses traditional methods to handle some troublesome tasks.

However, looking at the grand prototype of the sluice whose main structure had already been built, Yulou felt a little headache. He looked at Cui Dingyi and asked.

“Lao Cui, your thinking is wrong, maybe Chu Ran didn’t explain it to you clearly.

Let me ask you a question first, is the sluice gate useful?"

Maybe Wang Yulou is the most annoying kind of leader. He didn't explain things clearly when assigning tasks, and now he starts to find fault when checking progress.

In fact, after witnessing Wang Yulou easily killing a crocodile, Cui Dingyi had become very honest. Whether he was building a spectacular platform for Wang Yulou or a sluice gate to show his political achievements, he was very attentive.

But facing Wang Yulou's question, he didn't dare to pretend to be great and could only answer honestly.

"That will definitely be useful. I'm old now, and sometimes I can't keep up with Daoist Yulou's thinking. I hope Daoist Yulou can give me some guidance."

The local tyrant of the Hewan fishing village?
No, I will get angry with anyone who says that I, Cui Dingyi, am a local tyrant!
I am the biggest loser in Hewan Fishing Village!
Yulou looked around, then turned his head and whispered to Cui Ding.

“It’s useless.”

After these words were spoken, even with Cui Dingyi's patience, there was something wrong with the way he looked at Yulou.

I painstakingly finished the main part, and you tell me it's useless?
Then you want me to trim the chicken feathers?
“.Or rather, I’m not sure if it will work, I just want to try it.

But you built such a big project, if it ends badly in the future, it will not look good, don’t you think?”

"Fellow Daoist Yulou is right! I will immediately start making arrangements for the renovations, dismantling part of it and building a smaller one."

Wang Yulou smiled and nodded at Lao Cui. The old guy had been so well behaved recently. Yulou actually still liked the way he used to do those sneaky little things.

That way, at least he could be sure of what Cui Dingyi was thinking.

Nowadays, Lao Cui is always talking about "rectification" and "making it centered around Daoist Fellow Yulou", which makes Wang Yulou feel ashamed for wanting to break his evil hand.

“No need to demolish it, just leave it as it is, a little bigger is better, at least it looks beautiful and grand, and can give the villagers of Hewan Fishing Village a sense of security.

Come on, accompany me to see the platform again."

The sluice gate was a simple move, and Wang Yulou had no idea whether it would be successful. He decided to just take the initiative to conduct a pilot project, which would ensure he would not lose money.

"The platform is almost finished. I plan to cover the outer wall of the platform with golden bricks. What do you think, Daoist Yulou?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Xuewu looked at Lao Cui with a strange look in his eyes.

You seem to be licking a little too hard, is that really the case?
Cui Dingyi is indeed an interesting person. He was very clever when he was secretly fighting against Wang Yulou, but now he has started to flatter him in all aspects, and his attitude has changed very quickly.

Using gold to make bricks, he actually thought of it!
"Golden Brick, forget it, I'd better keep a low profile."

Yulou waved his hands repeatedly. He was a cultivator, and he could withstand Cui Dingyi's golden brick to test him.

Of course, if Lao Cui is willing to cover Wang Yulou's platform with spirit stones, Yulou will naturally not refuse.

However, given Lao Cui's financial resources, if he could obtain so many spirit stones, it would mean that he must have committed the crime of possessing a huge amount of assets of unknown origin.

"Fellow Daoist Yulou is wrong. This platform was built to protect against monsters, to provide timely support, and for the safety of the Hewan fishing village.

We understand your low profile, but the Guardian Cultivator's Mansion should be located on a high platform, representing the sect and the majesty of the Immortal Venerable. If it is built with more style, it can also show the dignity of the Immortal Venerable."

Although Zhang Xuewu, the idiot, cannot beat Lao Cui, he has always had a spirit of never giving up in the flattery competition, and he speaks better than he sings.

Yulou didn't know when the dignity of the Immortal Lord became related to the residence of a Qi-cultivating cultivator?
Considering that the Immortal Lord might not be completely dead yet, what Zhang Xuewu said was even more inappropriate.

"Gold is a huge expense and I have no interest in it. My two Taoist friends, just use ordinary stones." Yulou continued to shirk responsibility.

"Golden bricks are not expensive. We only need to use gold to make the brick surface on the side of the brick that is exposed to the outside, and we can achieve the effect of a golden platform with little expenditure."

Lao Cui said that he was determined to take advantage of this wave!
The last time he felt Wang Yulou's ill will towards him was because of the construction of the platform. Therefore, for him, building the platform beautifully was the best opportunity to repair their relationship.

"It's not a big expense, how much is it?"

Yulou was slightly curious.

"I'll pay a dozen spirit stones. Daoist Fellow Yulou led us to defeat the Iron Crocodile Dragon, and only then will Lao Zhang and I receive the merit bestowed by the Immortal Venerable.

How dare I, Cui Dingyi, forget these things? "

Spirit stones can naturally have great purchasing power when exchanged for ordinary gold. This is also the reason why those casual cultivators who have given up their practice can easily live out their lives in the mortal world.

As long as they earned spirit stones in the immortal world, even just one, it would be enough for them to live for a long time in the mortal world.

"Lao Cui, the platform is now well built. As for the matter of the gold bricks, I will pretend that you never mentioned it. Don't mention it again."

Wang Yulou left these words and returned home.

Zhang Xuewu felt that he understood what Wang Yulou said. He looked at Lao Cui and teased.

"It's time to see what you feel, Lao Cui. You have to think it over carefully."

Cui Dingyi nodded expressionlessly, of course he understood what Wang Yulou meant.

You can do it, but don’t mention it to me, I don’t know!
When Lao Cui first proposed this outrageous plan for Huangjintai, he was certain that Wang Yulou would not agree to it.

But he didn't expect that Wang Yulou, this bastard, would be so hypocritical.

There was no way out. The mutual trust between the two was too insufficient, and Yulou had to test his loyalty.
-
Zhuochi's reply came many days later than Yulou had expected. After he reported the matter of the crocodile being raised by someone, this foundation-building master from the Dripping Cave seemed to have not received the sound transmission talisman and left Yulou in the cold for nearly three weeks.

Therefore, until Zhuochi's disciple Fan Zhugao came to visit, Yulou thought that Zhuochi had forgotten about the matter.

Although Fan Zhugao is Zhuochi's disciple, he and his master are completely different extremes.

Zhuo Chi is short and fat, while Fan Zhugao is tall and thin.

Zhuo Chi was born with an unattractive appearance, but Fan Zhu was good-looking enough to be a prostitute in Bailixuan.

This gentleman's cultivation level is at the late stage of Qi training, but when dealing with Yulou, he did not show any arrogance because of his high cultivation level. Instead, he was very cautious.

“Junior Brother Yulou, my master and some other seniors have done some investigations.

We have probably identified the person behind the Iron Crocodile Dragon, but this speculation is not enough to bring that person down.

At this point, all we can do is wait and try to gather as much evidence as possible.”

"Is that person also at the foundation-building stage?" Yulou asked.

“Well, there are many seniors who have established their foundation in the cave, and Master has done his best.

Also, Junior Brother Yulou, Master also told me to remind you not to defend yourself when monsters attack. You are a disciple of a large family outside the Dripping Water Cave, so you can be more flexible in many cases."

Fan Gaozhu's first few words were normal, but after hearing the latter part, Yulou realized that something was wrong.

Okay, okay, in Dripping Cave, foreign guests have a higher status, right?
How many times has Zhuochi told him that he can run around freely?

"Yulou understands Senior Zhuo's good intentions.

Brother Fan, the Lingyu fish dumplings in our Hewan Fishing Village are delicious and fresh. You came all the way here to bring me news and give me instructions. You worked so hard.

I will treat you to a spiritual fish feast, Senior Brother Fan, please do not refuse."

Fan Gaozhu really wanted to refuse, but under Yulou's invitation, he accepted it.

One of them is Zhuochi's beloved disciple, and the other is a disciple of the Anbei Kingdom's royal family. Frequent interactions between them are actually a win-win situation. This is how a cultivator's network of contacts is often built up slowly.

Accompanied by Qin Churan, the two drank spirit wine, tasted spirit fish, and ate happily.

After three rounds of drinks, Fan Gaozhu put down his cup and asked Yulou.

"Junior Brother Yulou, who is this?"

"Xiao Qin is mine." Although Yulou was confused, he still explained.

"Well, that's fine. Do you know about Yuan Laosi's affairs?" Fan Gaozhu asked mysteriously.

"I know. The Dongtian patrol team even came to ask me about what happened that night twice."

Facing the Dongtian patrol team, Yulou's response was naturally appropriate and tight.

But when it came to Yuan Laosi's affairs, he could only claim he knew nothing.

The Yuan family is the largest family in the Dripping Cave except for the three Purple Mansion families. At the beginning, Zhuochi arranged two positions for Yulou, and the best one was snatched away by the Yuan family.

This shows how powerful and arrogant the Yuan family is.

"You're not saying anything nonsense, are you?" Fan Gaozhu was shocked by Yulou's words.

"Of course not. I only sent a sound transmission note to Senior Zhuo."

Yulou seemed a little innocent. He had never thought of using an egg to hit a rock.

Fan Zhugao breathed a sigh of relief and explained.

"That's good, Yuan Lao Si will soon be executed by the sect.

If you say anything unfavorable to him, the Yuan family may be angry with you after his death."

Yulou and Qin Churan were both dumbfounded.

Order Yuan Laosi to be executed?

He is the fourth son of the Yuan family, the first foundation-building family in the Dripping Cave!
"I'm not afraid of being vented on others, but didn't Yuan Laosi lead all the Qi-inducing and Qi-training monks to have an affair? Even if he delayed the support, he would not be sentenced to death directly."

It is obvious that the Yuan family is not very good at managing their children. Yuan Laosi, as the guardian monk of Demuao, was having a party with all his monks when the Baimao Fishing Village was attacked that night. This delayed the support and he was targeted by the Dongtian Patrol.

"How can you and I know what our seniors are thinking? It's always better to be careful."

After bidding farewell to Fan Gaozhu, Yulou thought about it and still felt a little worried.

The mysterious man who raised the iron crocodiles allowed the three iron crocodiles to eat human flesh in the villages along the Xiushui Lake for many years.

The Dripping Cave didn't care, and the reason given by the Zhuochi was insufficient evidence.

Considering what Zhuo Chi once said, "There must be monsters," Yulou couldn't help but think of some bad things.

On the other hand, the Yuan family, as the largest foundation-building family in the Dripping Cave, could not even protect one of their own members.

It seems that Yuan Laosi deserves to die, and he indeed deserves to die, but the fact that he was really sentenced to death actually means a lot.

This result represents that the existing interest structure in Dripping Cave is undergoing some changes.

Observation of changes is a key lesson in the Wang family’s education of their children.

Rubbing his forehead, Yulou sat in the hall and pondered for a long time.

He couldn't delay any longer. He had already tried his best to improve his cultivation, but cultivation was a gradual process and there was no immediate effect.

If you want to improve your ability to protect yourself from possible changes, you must start with organizational construction. As the leader of Hewan Fishing Village, Wang Yulou can do a lot in this regard.

After sorting out his thoughts, Yulou spoke decisively.

"Chu Ran, go and invite your fellow martial arts students over!"

Zhang Xuewu came to Yulou Mansion and saw Yulou practicing in the quiet room.

The image of the immortal carved from the ninth-grade white elm wood is lifelike, and the green smoke draws a swimming green dragon in the quiet room.

The Azure Dragon wanted to fly high into the sky, but was restrained by the three spiritual incense sticks and trapped in place.

Zhang Xuewu bowed solemnly, as if he was worshipping the Immortal Lord, and also as if he was worshipping Wang Yulou.

Wang Yulou spoke without turning around.

“Learning martial arts, I have already obtained information about all the Qi-inducing cultivators in Hewan Fishing Village. One third of them are Daoist Cui’s men, and of the rest, half are neutral, and half are secretly suppressed by Daoist Cui.

I plan to rebuild the organizational structure of the Hewan Fishing Village patrol team and temporarily reduce the original patrol range so that more people can have time to train in coordination to slay demons.

Are you willing to do this?"

It seemed that the personnel power he had snatched was given to Zhang Xuewu, but Wang Yulou already understood Zhang Xuewu's level - this was a real idiot.

His cultivation level seems high, but he has no good magic weapons, has not learned many powerful secrets, and is an outsider with shallow foundation.

Instead of worrying about him, it is better to worry about the real hidden local tyrant Lao Cui!

"Since Fellow Daoist Yulou trusts me in learning martial arts, I am naturally willing to learn martial arts!"

When Zhang Xuewu fought Lao Cui before, he just used all those random punches without any proper tactics.

Obviously, his cultivation is higher than Cui Dingyi's, but he is still targeted everywhere.

Wang Yulou was different. He put forward five demands as soon as he took office. Although they seemed lukewarm, he took away all the power of Hewan Fishing Village easily. This is his real level of ability.

As for Yulou, Zhang Xuewu had nothing but anticipation and admiration.

“Go ahead, Chu Ran will tell you which of Lao Cui’s men are involved, and send them all out to lead patrols.

Of the remaining people, half rotated with them, and the other half started training.

When the training is almost done, let the rotating half come back and let the well-trained ones continue to rotate with Lao Cui's people.

In this way, we can gradually wipe out Lao Cui’s people.”

"Grind it clean?" Zhang Xuewu repeated the last three words with some confusion.

Wang Yulou opened his eyes, looked at the smiling, compassionate face of the Immortal Lord, and spoke calmly.

"Either die or surrender!"

If a person is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm.

If you want to move forward and not pay the price, you always need some determination and courage.

The kind of story that hopes everyone will be well, practice together in harmony, and finally become an immortal peacefully does not belong to this world, nor does it belong to Wang Yulou.

As if sensing the determination in Yulou's words, Zhang Xuewu's heart also tightened.

He bowed again, expressing his cheap submission.

"Got it, spread them out and grind them clean!"

"Go, go, learn martial arts, the Dripping Cave is not as big as you think.

My future lies in Hongdengzhao and Xianmeng. You have the potential to keep up with me, so do your best. "

Zhang Xuewu left, and Yulou flew from the mansion to the Bishui Palace in a flying boat.

Along the way, he was thinking about his own arrangements.

With Qin Churan as the supervisor and Zhang Xuewu as the swordsman, there are only more than 20 Qi-inducing monks in Hewan Fishing Village. This arrangement is sufficient and there shouldn't be any major problems.

When it comes to doing things, there is no such thing as a 100% reliable solution or plan, just like the dam that you don’t know whether it will be successful.

But Yulou was confident. When he first took the initiative to invest in the racecourse, he almost got stuck with it. Later, under his management, the racecourse gradually became profitable.

Problems are bound to arise, but Wang Yulou is now very sure that he has the confidence and determination to face them head-on.

Perhaps, this is the reason why the family sent all of their descendants out to gain experience.

In the Hall of Merit, before Yulou even entered, she heard Wu Faxian promoting something to a fellow disciple.

"This Iron Crocodile Dragon monster meat is completely different from ordinary monster meat. The Iron Crocodile Dragon is a rare dragon species among the monsters in the Lesser Demon Realm!
Do you know what dragon seeds are? They are the blood of real dragons. If you eat the flesh of an iron crocodile dragon, you can also gain the influence of dragon nature. Even if you eat it for a long time, it can even transform your aptitude!

"Okay, how much do you charge?"

"Two spirit stones for one pound. I think we have a good relationship."

Yulou realized that he would have to spend some years in the Hall of Merit in the future, as it was full of opportunities to make a fortune.

The price of buying is two spirit stones and three catties, and the price of selling is two spirit stones and one catty.
Can’t think about it, can’t think about it, Yulou’s face tightened slightly and she stepped into the Hall of Merit.

"Old Wu, how many spirit stones did you say per pound?"

Wu Faxian, who was currently promoting his product, seemed to have his smile paused, and blinked at Yulou awkwardly.

After a while, after seeing off the fellow disciple, Wu Faxian flatteringly asked Yulou to take a seat.

"Yuque Daoist, just now..."

"Okay, no need to explain, I understand. I came here this time because I need your help with something."

When it comes to openness, Wang Yulou has always been good at it.

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Yuque, please tell me. If I can help you, I will do my best."

Wu Faxian was a little confused when he saw Yulou take out a storage bag and put it on the table.

"What are you doing?"

Yulou pointed to the storage bag and said.

"Clearing the account, I recently paid back 157 points of Bishui Palace merit for killing two monsters and making a deal.

The rest, please pay it back with spirit stones, at a ratio of 15 to 16. Fellow Daoist Faxian, I'm sorry to bother you."

Clear the account?

Wu Faxian reacted quickly and asked.

"Does Daoist Yulou have anything you'd like to exchange for your merits?"

"No, I just want to settle the merit I owe first. Can't I just go through Fellow Daoist Wu to exchange for things?"

Merits are not cabbages from the sky, and exchanging them for the Jade Tower is like a housewife trying to cook without rice. I can only continue to exchange them with spirit stones.

Fifteen to sixteen. Just think of it as refining and exploding two more magical instruments. You will feel much better if you think this way.

"I understand, I understand. What do you want to exchange for this time, Daoist Yuque?"

Thinking of the triple price and profit he had just made from selling the alligator meat, Wu Faxian added another sentence.

"Fellow Daoist Yuque, I will give you a five-to-one exchange this time, but only this time!"

Wang Yulou was surprised at first, then he quickly said.

"Mid-grade refining furnace, Qing'er Water and Fire Furnace, Fellow Daoist Wu, I'm in trouble."

"A mid-grade Qing'er water furnace?"

Wu Fa first muttered something, then started looking for the refining furnace on the jade slip, and then, he felt like he had lost his parents.

"Green Ear Water Fire Furnace" - 600 merit points.
600 merit points equals spirit stones. If we calculate spirit stones at a ratio of to , the price difference is spirit stones.
He bought 220 catties of crocodile meat at a price of two spirit stones per catty and sold it at a price of six spirit stones per catty, making a profit of about 300 spirit stones.
Wu Faxian stared at Yulou with resentment, as if he wanted to release sword energy with his eyes and pierce Yulou ten times.

"Fellow Daoist Yuque, has anyone ever told you that you are particularly good at bidding?"

"The spirit stone is here, click on it."

Ignoring Wu Faxian's gaze, Yulou said he wanted to make the deal quickly.

Now he just wanted to get the refining furnace as soon as possible and go back to start refining magic weapons.

The Qing'er Water Fire Furnace could be bought for 800 spirit stones ten years ago, but now the price has increased by almost four times.

This refining furnace is too expensive. Yulou will feel uneasy if he doesn't get his investment back soon.

After bidding farewell to Wu Faxian, who had turned into a resentful woman, Yulou boarded the flying boat and flew towards the Hewan fishing village.

Now he actually missed He Lao San a little. Although that guy was a ghost, he could fly very fast and Yu Lou didn't need to bother to control him.

Alas, he hasn’t come back for many days and there is no news. Is there a problem in the clan?

Thinking of how the patriarch had driven him to the Dripping Cave, Yulou became even more worried.

Compared to Wang's safety, Lao Cui's threats seemed like a joke to Yu Lou.

However, when Yulou flew back to the house, he found that He Laosan was already drinking water.

"Third brother, where is the letter from the clan leader?"

He Laosan didn't look at Yulou and continued drinking water.

This made Yulou very anxious. He was worried about the family situation. He needed the help of the clan members to deal with the pain of practicing Sumai Guishui. He also needed the guidance of the clan leader on how to deal with Lao Cui.

Not long after practicing in the Dripping Cave, he encountered a lot of troubles, and the whole cave seemed to have an undercurrent.

Everything needs to be done by Xian looking at the letter from the clan leader to find the direction.

As a result, this cheap bird actually started to act arrogantly at this time!
"The letter is with me. But it doesn't matter whether you read it or not, hahaha."

Yulou turned around in surprise and saw the person sitting at the top of the table in the hall. Her expression changed from surprise to delight, and the uneasiness in her heart completely disappeared.

"Ancestor Xian Zhou, what are you doing?"

Wang Xianzhou took the spiritual tea handed to him by Qin Churan, took a sip, and smiled.

"Yes, come here to support your little kid!"
