Zhou Liujiu quickly put away his random thoughts.

Pei Qian is only five years old this year. Even if he can really reach the fifth level of internal strength at the age of eighteen, it will be more than ten years later. It is simply unrealistic to think about these things now.

However, Luo Hao, whose weird cultivation speed may be able to reach the fifth level of internal strength in a year, and within ten years, he can break through to the sixth level.

At that time, there will be two sixth-level strong men in their Bagua Sect.

Zhou Liujiu is really confident that Luo Hao can reach the sixth level. This junior brother is really too mysterious and has too many secrets on him.

The foundation building of Xiao Peiqian was over. He was soaked in the bathtub every day and received marrow washing. Ordinary people could not bear it at all.

Fortunately, Zhou Liujiu is here, and Pei Qian actually sleeps most of the time, which finally allowed him to survive this most difficult time. After the marrow washing, Pei Qian can officially start practicing.

Formal practice is not about having internal energy. He must first practice the mind method to sense the existence of internal energy, and let the internal energy flow into the dantian automatically for storage.

At this stage, practitioners cannot control the increase in internal strength by themselves. How much internal strength can be absorbed depends purely on luck.

However, with the spirit gathering array, Pei Qian absorbs internal energy much faster than ordinary people. Even if he is passively absorbed, it is several times more than others.

In this way, he can quickly truly possess internal energy and become an internal energy practitioner.

When Pei Qian built the foundation, Luo Hao consolidated his fourth-level internal strength.

He still has a lot of level 4 spiritual pills. After breaking through the fourth level, he refined all the remaining essence and blood, and this time he refined six level 4 top-quality spiritual pills.

Luo Hao did not use these top-grade spiritual pills. He used ordinary spiritual pills. He had just been promoted to the fourth level, so there was no need to use the top-grade spiritual pills.

"gentlemen!"

Jubaozhai and Luo Hao hadn't been here for more than a month. As soon as he arrived at the main store, Ye Bingqian and Wang Chao hurried forward to say hello.

Hu Biao is not here. Now there are four stores in Jubaozhai Beijing, one in Tianjin, two in Shanghai, and one in Shenzhen and one in Guangzhou. There are eight branches in total.

In addition, Zhengcheng, the capital of Central Plains, and Wucheng, the capital of Hubei Province, are both under negotiation. Hu Biao is now in Zhengcheng. These two stores are open again, and Luo Hao’s antique store is equivalent to having ten stores.

With ten stores, the smallest one is more than 100 square meters and the largest one is more than 400 square meters. Luo Hao has become a veritable tycoon in the antique industry.

Many auction companies are looking for cooperation with Hu Biao, and some suppliers are also taking the initiative to find them.

Jubaozhai never mortgages the goods. It has a high reputation in the industry. Now it is getting bigger and bigger and better business.

"You're still here?"

Luo Hao was quite surprised to see the couple. He thought they had left long ago.

"Sir, we said we would work for you with peace of mind. If you can leave the safety here, you can leave it to us with confidence!"

Wang Chao quickly replied that in addition to learning antique appraisal, they attached great importance to the security of antique shops, especially the main store.

The main store has always had exhibition items, and the value is very high. Later, when they learned about this, the two separated, each taking turns to guard here one by one to prevent thieves from appearing.

Not to mention, Wang Chao really caught one.

The man kept wandering around during the day and went to the back door. Wang Chao noticed that when he wanted to steal it at night, he touched the alarm as soon as he entered the door.

Before the security guard came, he was held down by Wang Chao.

Later, he was sent to the police station. This was a theft gang, who stared at Luo Hao's collections worth hundreds of millions of yuan. He wanted to make a fortune and was eventually arrested.

Hu Biao wanted to report this matter to Luo Hao, but at that time, Luo Hao was rushing to the fourth level of internal strength, so he didn't say it.

"This won't work. Has Hu Biao paid you a salary?"

After hearing Wang Chao talk about what happened recently, Luo Hao immediately shook his head and asked about the two of them.

"Mr. Hu has opened it and gives us 10,000 yuan a month. We think it's a little higher!"

The two were arranged by Luo Hao. Luo Hao didn't say how much money they gave them, and Hu Biao didn't dare to give them randomly. According to the highest basic salary in the store, Wang Chao gave another 10,000 yuan in bonus last time when he caught the thief.

In short, the two of them had a salary of 30,000 last month.

This is much higher than ordinary security guards.

"Ten thousand is too little, so let's do it. Each of you two will give you a bonus of 30,000 yuan per month. At the end of the year!"

Luo Hao shook his head, saying that ordinary security guards would definitely not be given to them, but they are all internal energy practitioners.

It is already considered low to be able to hire an internal energy practitioner of 30,000 yuan a month.

"Sir, it's too tall, no!"

Ye Bingqian immediately refused. They completely regarded themselves as ordinary people and did not work as cultivators. The monthly salary of two ordinary people is indeed not low.

"It's settled, I'll tell Hu Biao!"

Luo Hao showed his domineering side. He was able to hire a cultivator of internal strength for 30,000 yuan, which was enough to make people enjoy themselves.

Not to mention that one of them is in the middle stage of the second level and the other is in the late stage of the first level. It is not easy to hire a cultivator in the early stage of the first level.

There are not many true practitioners, and each one is precious.

Many leaders have no internal energy practitioners around them. The special operations office will send people there unless there are dangerous and urgent tasks, but it is only for a while.

Except for the supreme leader.

As he was talking, Luo Hao’s cell phone rang. Luo Hao took out his cell phone and answered the phone at the door.

"Luo Hao, how are you doing recently?"

The phone call was from He Pingjiang. As soon as it was answered, he heard his hearty laughter.

"It's been a good deal recently, where are you, Mr. He?"

Luo Hao replied with a smile, he had called He Pingjiang during this period, not only He Pingjiang, but also four masters who taught him jade carving.

"You guys don't come to see me. Do you think I can be better?"

He Pingjiang made a joke, and Luo Hao hurriedly apologized. He was indeed too busy during this period and had never returned after leaving Pingzhou.

"Okay, I know you have a lot of things. Come to Pingzhou in the past two days. The Jade Carving Competition is about to begin!"

He Pingjiang did not really blame Luo Hao. He also heard about the achievements Luo Hao has achieved during this period.

At the China Collection Appreciation Conference, Luo Hao's treasure shocked the audience and became the best expert in the audience. After hearing about it, he was stunned for a while.

Luo Hao has achieved great success in jade carvings, but he didn't expect to be better in antiques. Although he is just a jade carver, he also knows how high the specifications of the China Collection and Appreciation Conference are.

It is no exaggeration to say that the attendees are all the top appraisers in the country.

Luo Hao can stand out among these experts, definitely the Nanbu Gulf of the whole country.

"It's going to start so soon?"

Luo Hao was stunned. When he was learning jade carving before, He Pingjiang told him that he would come to participate in the jade carving competition this year.

At that time, it was said that there were still three months left, but I didn’t expect these three months to pass so quickly.

"There is still half a month left in the real competition, but there is still a qualifier in the early stage. You are a few of us who have strongly promoted it. You don't have to participate in the primary election, but you must participate in the re-election. Only after the re-election can you participate in the real competition!"

He Pingjiang explained to Luo Hao.

The National Jade Carving Competition is the highest-standard competition. The contestants are screened from the country and have to go through several preliminary and semi-finals before they can finally decide the quota and participate in the final competition.

In the final competition, only thirty-six contestants participated, eighteen represented the north and eighteen represented the south.

The host city comes in turns. Wherever it won the championship last year, it will be placed in the next session.

The winner of the championship last year was the Beijing contestant. This year's Jade Carving Competition was placed in the Beijing. However, the final list was compared from various places. Luo Hao did not have to participate in the preliminary round, but he had to participate in the rematch.

This year's rematch in the south is in Jieyang. Luo Hao will go to Pingzhou first and then to Jieyang with He Pingjiang to participate in the rematch.

In this rematch of Southern, there were more than 200 contestants participating, and more than 200 people only 18 were able to enter the finals. The ratio of passing was less than 10 to 1, which was a very cruel game.

"Don't worry, I'll be there tomorrow!"

Luo Hao had agreed to the four masters before participating in the Jade Carving Competition. This was something that he could not break the appointment. Luo Hao hurriedly agreed, while He Pingjiang hung up the phone with satisfaction.

He had no worries about whether Luo Hao could get the final ticket.

He is the one who knows the best level of Luo Hao's jade carvings. It can be said that he is definitely no less than him, and even stronger than him.

Luo Hao will definitely have one of these 18 final tickets.

The rematch is the day after tomorrow. Luo Hao will go to Pingzhou first, and then join the players who participated in the rematch with Pingzhou to rush to Jieyang together.

Time is tight, so Luo Hao immediately booked a flight ticket and would fly tomorrow morning.

He couldn't hurry up and visit He Pingjiang's house when he arrived, and he couldn't go empty-handed.

"Luo Hao, do you have time now? If you have it, come to me this time!"

Just after booking the air ticket, Shangxin called Luo Hao and asked him to go to his home.

When the master called him, Luo Hao did not dare to refuse and immediately said that he would go there immediately.

"You guys are busy first, and the salary is determined. Also, that bracelet is rewarded directly to you as your reward for catching the thief this time!"

The Dzi bead bracelet is still in the store, and the bracelet has a special significance to the two of them. Luo Hao had long wanted to find a reason for them, and this time it happened.

After saying that, he left without waiting for them to react.

Shang Xin rarely calls himself like this. In the past, Luo Hao was still wondering if there was something wrong with Master, otherwise he would not be so anxious.

It drove very quickly, and within a while, Luo Hao arrived at Shang Xin's house.

What surprised Luo Hao was that not only Shang Xin and Shang Xuejun, Chu Lao, Zhou Lao, and President Zhou of the Palace Museum were all there.

Five people were sitting in the yard, with a table in front of them, and several people were communicating and chatting.

"Luo Hao is here, hurry up, sit here!"

Seeing Luo Hao come in, Dean Zhou greeted him first. There was an empty chair next to the table. It seemed that he had prepared it for Luo Hao long ago.

Luo Hao walked over and found that there was a picture on the table, which seemed to be a map, and it was an old map. The old map with wide open doors should have been in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. The yellow map was made of sheepskin.
