It was night, at the hour of Hai. The stars and moons in the sky were shining, and the lights on the ground were brightly lit.

Zhuge Xiu, who was drunkenly talking, was the Zhuge family castle that was helped back by Hong Lai and Tong Fin. When he heard Hong Lai ask Tong Fin to send him to the room to rest, he did not forget to ask Hong Lai to go to Wansheng Building with him tomorrow. After getting Hong Lai's promise, Zhuge Xiu leaned on Tong Fin's shoulder and staggered towards his room.

Hong Lai did not go back to Jubin Pavilion, but flew to the main hall of the ancient castle.

Seeing that there was no one outside the hall, he wanted to bow inward to ask for instructions, Zhuge Ji's voice came from inside: "Come in."

Hong Lai stepped in, and Zhuge Ji, who was on the main hall, was watching the scenes of images floating in front of him in detail. Hong Lai saluted Zhuge Ji and said, "Brother!"

Zhuge Ji withdrew his gaze from those images and turned to Hong Lai: "Find a seat."

Hong Lai took a casual visitor seat: "Brother, you don't send any guards outside the hall."

"I have the highest cultivation level in the entire Zhuge Fort. Instead of letting them protect me, it is better to let them patrol the fort." Zhuge Ji said.

Hong Lai laughed and said, "That's right. Brother, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Do you want to persuade me to let Xiu'er go out for a trip or do you plan to help him grab the umbrella magic weapon?" Zhuge Ji asked.

Hong Lai said: "Brother, it's not like before. We don't need to rob everything. We have fairy jade and good things, so we can go and negotiate a deal with the two cultivators of Yanhui. Isn't it just an umbrella magic weapon in the early stage of returning to the virtual world? We exchange it for three. If it doesn't work, add one more. If it doesn't work, it depends on what conditions they have put forward."

Zhuge Ji frowned and said, "Xu'er is what you spoiled."

Hong Lai defended: "Brother, we are not spoiling Xiu'er, but giving him the treatment that the young master of Zhuge Fort should have."

Zhuge Ji said softly when he heard this: "Forget it. It's better for you to go and talk about a deal than to use the Green Eye Spirit Plant to rob it."

Hong Lai said excitedly: "Then I will notify Lao Jia and let him go to the next day and I will meet up with him. The other party is two early stage monks in the Return to the Void stage, so we cannot lose our momentum."

"You contact Tong Guanjun later and ask him to go to the treasury in the fort to pick five special magic weapons for the early stage of returning to the virtual with each attribute, and bring them with you when trading tomorrow. If they are not satisfied, you can add another right arm of the early stage of returning to the virtual weapon." Zhuge Ji was still concerned about Zhuge Xiu after all.

Hong Lai smiled and said, "Brother, you are too generous in your actions."

Zhuge Ji said with kindness: "I'm old, and this Zhuge Fortress will be handed over to Xiu'er sooner or later. Since he likes that umbrella magic weapon so much, I'll give him a gift for promotion and return to the Void Period in advance."

Hong Lai took the opportunity and said, "Brother, I actually think you can let Xiu'er out for training."

"You're drinking too much tonight?" Zhuge Ji said with a deep expression.

Hong Lai hurriedly stood up and said, "Brother, what I meant was not to let Xiu'er go on a long journey, but to let him gain more knowledge on Senior Xing Rong's territory. You can also let Lao Tong or Lao Jia protect Xiu'er in secret. If you encounter danger, they can also rescue him in time."

Zhuge Ji said aloof: "Do you still remember the Taoist we met when we entered the Guixu Secret Realm a thousand six hundred years ago?"

"Of course I remember! I went to the sixth son and returned the fourth son! Song Jie and Wang Teng died under the prophecy of the Taoist man." Hong Lai felt resentful, but then he shook his head regretfully and said, "Maybe it was the Taoist man's fault, I harmed Song Jie and Wang Teng."

Zhuge Ji said helplessly: "It's Song Jie and Wang Teng's fate that has arrived, it has nothing to do with you."

Hong Lai's eyes were red and said, "The Taoist said that I had committed evil deeds, and the first half of my life was too serious, so that I could defeat my relatives and friends. Even if I was promoted to the realm of returning to the emptiness in the second half of my life, there would be no descendants, and my friends around me would leave one by one. I was only in the middle stage of the God Refining period, so how could I believe him? Who knew that in the next Guixu Secret Realm, I would have two brothers. In order to break his prophecy, I went out of Guixu Secret Realm and found many furnaces and cauldrons to give birth to a man and half a woman. It's strange.

What is, those furnaces and cauldrons either died in the womb or died unexpectedly. I was suspicious and began to go to seclusion and practice in seclusion. I relied on the spiritual ascension pill that my brother helped me win in the secret realm of Guixu to directly break through the realm and reach the early stage of Return to Void after 1,100 years. But I didn’t feel any happiness as a return to Void cultivator. I felt more and more that my destiny was being controlled. I dare not contact you too much, so after you established Zhuge Fort, I chose to guard the north of Zhuge Fort alone."

Zhuge Ji leaned his head on the master's seat, and he said tiredly: "The Taoist made a statement to our six righteous brothers. He said that my intention to help my righteous brother remains unchanged, and I can do everything according to my own way, and gain spiritual plant in my natal stage, and gain the cultivation level of the return to the void, and enjoy the joy of my son beside me. However, there are fire and thunder outside, and the entry into the country caused disaster, causing my son to lose his family and not have a good end. I didn't believe him before, thinking that he wanted to compete for the opportunity in the secret realm of Guixu and deliberately disturbed our mood. But what happened next happened exactly as he said. Song Jie and Wang Teng accidentally touched the mechanism in the secret realm of Guixu, causing the spirit poison to die on the spot. By chance, I discovered that dark room, and took you and Tongqi, and Jia Chuan entered it to escape a disaster. The three of you happened to step on

I went to the three spiritual elixir boxes in the dark room. Although you wanted to give me the elixir, I refused with the principle that anyone who fell on the head would be on. Later, we looked for another exit in the dark room. But as soon as I found the secret door, the green-eyed spiritual plant behind the door swallowed me into the green giant eye. I thought I would die, until I found that the green-eyed spiritual plant only acted as a devouring and did not hurt me. So I tried to feed it with my own spiritual power, and I accidentally made it think of me. I also found various well-preserved magic weapons and elixir boxes in the huge eyes of the green-eyed spiritual plant. It can be said that without that trip to Guixu Secret Realm, there would be no us now."

Hong Lai looked at the images in front of the main seat and asked softly: "Brother is paving the way for Xiu'er's future?"

Zhuge Ji admitted, "Yes. After I arrived at the middle stage of returning to the Void, I knew that there was no possibility of further cultivation. I wanted to exchange my life for Xiu'er's life. I want to guard against the Taoist saying in the second half of the sentence, "There is fire and thunder outside, and the entry into the country will cause disasters." Therefore, I founded Zhuge Fort based on the Green Eye Spirit Plant to monitor all the monks above the God Refining Cultivation and above who came here. After investigating the background, the monks related to fire and thunder would kill them, and try to make friends with those who could not kill."

Hong Lai wanted to advise Zhuge Ji not to force him, but when he saw Zhuge Ji's firm eyes, he knew that he would not give up. He chose to bless him and said, "Brother, we still have Senior Xing Rong behind us, I believe you will be able to protect Xiu'er."

Zhuge Ji relaxed his expression and said, "At least so far, Xiu'er is safe and sound."

Hong Lai nodded and said, "Yes."

"He was drunk today?" Zhuge Ji asked.

Hong Lai smiled and shook his head and said, "I originally thought he was drunk, but the real drunk person could remember things so clearly. Brother, Xiu'er has grown up."

Zhuge Ji had a rare smile on his cold face: "It's good to grow up."

The next morning, Zhuge Xiu sorted out his clothes early and prepared to go to the main hall to pay his respects to Zhuge Ji. He wanted to see if Hong Lai fulfilled his promise when he drank last night. After sending him back, he told Zhuge Jiyan about trading the umbrella magic weapon.

Zhuge Xiu saw Tongzi waiting outside as soon as he left the room. After bowing to Tongzi, he scolded his six subordinates and said, "Why don't you report it inward when Uncle Tong comes?"

The six Zhuge Fort guards knelt down and said, "Please punish the young castle master!"

Tongzi said to the six guards: "Young Master, calm down. Before the hour of the year arrived, I did not let them disturb you to rest."

Zhuge Xiu did not blame the guards. He asked Tongqi: "Uncle Tong, why did you come here specifically?"

Tongzi said: "The Fortress Lord agreed to let Lao Hong and Lao Jia accompany you to find the two Yanhui monks to trade. He asked me to come and notify you and let you go directly to Lao Hong's Jubin Pavilion."

Zhuge Xiu grabbed Tongzi with his hands in glee and said, "Really?"

Tongzi nodded with a smile, and he secretly sent a message to Zhuge Xiu: "I followed the instructions of the castle lord and picked five special magic weapons of various attributes from the treasury in the castle treasury with each attribute to him. I heard from Lao Hong that if the two Yanhui monks were not satisfied, the castle lord would be willing to add another magic weapon of the early stage of the return to the treasury."

When Zhuge Xiu heard this, he teleported directly to the main hall of the ancient castle. He strode into Zhuge Ji on the main seat and bowed, "Thank you, dad!"

Zhuge Ji smiled and said, "You have grown up. In the past, you should have run to your Uncle Hong's place as soon as possible."

Zhuge Xiu blushed and said, "The child recklessly contradicted his father yesterday. I hope his father can forgive him."

Zhuge Ji said: "There is no overnight revenge between father and son. Go to Jubin Pavilion, your Uncle Jia has passed. I saw that the two Yanhui monks also showed signs of going out. If they were not in Wansheng Building when you were over, please ask your Uncle Hong to contact me and I will help you check their location."

"Okay, dad!" After Zhuge Xiu said that, he teleported to the north of Zhuge Fort. This time he found that Zhuge Ji did not send Tongzi to follow him, and he felt inexplicably recognized by Zhuge Ji.

The servant at the entrance of Jubin Pavilion was about to kneel down when he saw Zhuge Xiu, but was stopped by Zhuge Xiu. He asked, "Where are my Uncle Hong and Uncle Jia?"

The servant felt that Zhuge Xiu was completely different from when he came last night. He hurriedly replied: "On the top floor of the upper floor."

Zhuge Xiu quickly entered and went to the top floor from the internal teleportation array of Jubin Pavilion.

The servants on the top floor bowed and bowed to Zhuge Xiu when they saw him.

Zhuge Xiu learned that Hong Lai and Jia Chuan were waiting for him in the spiritual box last night, so he hurried to the door. However, Zhuge Xiu did not push the door recklessly and bowed to him, "Uncle Hong, Uncle Jia, Xiu'er is asking for a meeting."

Hong Lai's hearty laughter came from the box: "Young Master, come in quickly. Your Uncle Jia is losing a lot today."

Zhuge Xiu entered immediately, and Hong Lai asked him to sit in the seat by the window. Zhuge Xiu asked, "Uncle Hong, what are you betting on?"

Hong Lai smiled and said, "Old Jia and I bet you will come here today to push the door directly or ask for instructions outside. Lao Jia feels that you are about to obtain the magic weapon you like, so he must have pushed the door happily in. I said that you are much more steady now and must have come in the private room after the layman's ceremony. Lao Jia, willing to accept the loss and get 1,500 immortal jades out soon."

Zhuge Xiu also wanted to say how you can gamble with me, but Hong Lai said the next sentence made him very happy.

Hong Lai put the 1,500 immortal jade into the storage bag and said, "Young Master, the 1,500 immortal jade that Lao Jia lost is considered to be my and his intentions. With the five special magic weapons in the early stage of returning to the Void, I don't believe that the two Yanhui cultivators are not moved!"

Zhuge Xiu saluted Hong Lai and the scar-faced man sitting opposite him and said, "Thank you, Uncle Hong, Uncle Jia!"

Hong Lai and Jia Chuan both waved their hands to Zhuge Xiu. Hong Lai took the initiative to say, "Let's go. I also want to see what's strange about that umbrella magic weapon that the young master likes so much."

Zhuge Xiu hurriedly said, "Uncle Hong, my father said that the two of them were going out. Why don't you ask my father where they are?"

Hong Lai immediately injected his spiritual power into the jade pendant around his waist and started a real-time call with Zhuge Ji. He asked, "Brother, where are the two of them now?"

Zhuge Ji on the other end of the jade pendant replied: "Miaoyinju three hundred miles southwest of your Jubin Pavilion."

"They are quite happy. Then Lao Jia and I will take the young master over there." Hong Lai said.

Zhuge Ji instructed: "You are going to negotiate a deal, don't have a conflict."

Hong Lai responded and said, "Brother, don't worry, Lao Jia and I know what to do."

Shi Wu and the Tianjie Spirit Body were resting overnight in Wansheng Building and then went out. When Shi Wu was in the room, he saw through the map in his hand that there was a Miaoyinju west of Wansheng Building for monks to taste tea, chat and enjoy music, so he invited the Tianjie Spirit Body to go with him.

The spiritual body of the Heavenly Tribulation was unwilling to go. After all, the spiritual body that could not taste tea was the most so that Li Rong's body could be nourished by some spiritual power. However, Shi Wu told it that the Wansheng Tower was probably the body with giant green eyes below, and it would be dangerous to stay here alone. After hearing this, the spiritual body of the Heavenly Tribulation had to accompany Shi Wu.

As soon as the two arrived outside Miaoyinju, they heard melodious sounds of piano from inside.

Shi Wu looked at the plaque "Miaoyinju" and thoughtfully. The spiritual body of the Heavenly Tribulation asked with the tiger tendon and Tongyin Pendant: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Shi Wu used the tiger tendons to express his voice to the heavenly tribulation spirit body and said, "I miss my sister. I don't know that she is living a good life in Miaoyin Sect."

The spiritual body of the heavenly tribulation knew that the sister Shi Wu mentioned was A Ling who had never seen when he returned to the mortal world. It comforted Shi Wu and said, "If there is still fate, you will see you again even if the heaven and earth are separated."

Shi Wu nodded heavily.

The spirit body of the Heavenly Tribulation half-jokingly said, "So, you have to accumulate fairy jade. Don't be in front of you at that time, the cross-border teleportation array is in front of you, but the fairy jade is not enough."

Shi Wu also laughed: "If you want to say this, I want to accept the conditions offered by the leader to become the owner of the fourth stronghold in the north."

"I don't think so." The spirit of heavenly tribulation said deliberately.

The welcome servant at the door of Miaoyinju saw the two people outside standing there as if they were enjoying the piano music. He would laugh silently when he heard it. He muttered to himself: "I'm afraid these two are not fools."

After the song was played, the welcome servant stepped forward and asked, "Two guests, do you want to come in and drink the pot of spirit tea and listen to the music?"

Shi Wu stopped talking to the spiritual body of the Heavenly Tribulation with the tiger tendon pie and said directly: "Brother, I don't have the best-grade spirit stone on me, so you still have to ask for it."

The heavenly tribulation spirit body has actually fallen in love with the feeling of this flower spirit stone. It said boldly: "Okay!"

The welcome servant said enthusiastically to the inside: "Two distinguished guests!"

A special servant walked out of the room, and he made a gesture of invitation and said, "Please follow me, two distinguished guests."

Shi Wu and the Tianjie Spirit followed the attendant from the main gate of Miaoyinju. A young man holding a jade flute on the six-foot platform in the center of the hall had already started playing.

The attendant asked in a low voice: "Where do you want to sit at the two guests? If you are in the lobby, a pot of spiritual tea can be heard for a day. If you want to be more elegant, you can go up to the private room on the second or third floor. The music on the platform will be directly transferred to the private room where you are. The private room on the second floor costs 30 medium-grade spirit stones per room, and the private room on the third floor costs 50 medium-grade spirit stones per room."

Shi Wu came out of Wansheng Building to see if the person who monitored him would take action. He said to the attendant: "My elder brother and I can just sit at the table in the east of Gaotai."

The attendant led Shi Wu and the others over and asked, "What kind of spiritual tea do you want, the two guests? We have spiritual tea from the foundation-building level to the returning level."

"Just help us a pot of late-stage refining god-refining that tastes refreshing." Shi Wudao.
