Chapter 146

Shang Xia didn't hide his intention at all.

In fact, under the current situation, there is absolutely no need for him to hide anything.

When Shang Xia informed everyone of the existence of Huan Lingsha, although everyone was shocked, they accepted Shang Xia's proposal calmly.

In a sense, Shang Xia was the first to discover Huanlingsha, so he is naturally qualified to deal with it.

What's more, they have lost contact with Tongyou Peak at present, and they may face the situation that the rose will be killed by the four heavens at any time, so doing this is more to save themselves.

As for Nei She teaching Gu Shou, although his cultivation has reached the third level of the Martial Artistic Realm, there is still a long way to go before the completion of the Martial Artistic Realm.

Through the map of the central formation, Shang Xia had long known that there were four rockeries with stone chambers in the land of phantoms of mountains and rivers.

Shang Xia has been to three of them successively, and has gained something from each of these three stone chambers.

Only this fourth stone chamber was here for the first time.

After deciding on the idea of ​​first ensuring Shangke's impact on the Wusha Realm, everyone performed their duties and immediately started to act.

And Shang Xia followed Shang Ke to the fourth stone chamber opened by Chu Jia.

This stone room is specially used to absorb and refine the phantom spirit, and it is prepared for warriors who attack the martial arts realm.

There is also a set of formation system specially prepared for this purpose engraved on the walls of the stone chamber.

The grandpa and grandson sat casually, and Shang Xia smiled and said, "Fifth Grandpa, you never blame me for taking over the responsibility and let you attack the fourth heaven without any preparations in advance?"

Shang Ke said with a smile: "You are a person with great abilities and profound opportunities. How many people desire the origin of the evil spirit but cannot obtain it, and their own cultivation is trapped in the martial arts state for life. Not only did you obtain it, but you also gave it away to others. The old man has got such a big advantage, is it possible that he still has to complain to you? Isn't this a good thing to get a bargain!"

Shang Xia heard Shang Ke's cheerful tone without any displeasure, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "Although that's the case, my grandson also feels a little regretful. Fifth Grandpa's current cultivation is not as good as the martial art concept. If it wasn't urgent, there might still be a chance to comprehend the supernatural powers of martial arts, and thus reach the realm of the Great Perfection of the Martial Artistic Realm. In this way, the background of the Empress of the Fourth Stage will become more profound."

Shanke smiled, and comforted him in turn: "You don't need to do this. In fact, my cultivation has reached the level it is today six or seven years ago, but I haven't made any progress in these years. In fact, I am no longer I hope that I can comprehend the supernatural powers of Wu Yijing, but it is only the source of the evil spirit, which is an important medium for advancing to the fourth heaven, and it is also encountered but not sought. Even your grandfather and my third brother have searched many times over the years, but in the end they found nothing. That's why I postponed to this day."

Naturally, Shang Xia knew this, but knowing it was one thing, but what Shang Ke had in mind was another.

But after hearing Shang Ke say that he himself had already given up on insisting on the martial art state supernatural power, Shang Xia finally felt relieved.

"The matter of advanced potions..."

This was Shang Xia's last worry.

Shanke patted his waist with his right hand, and a bronze wine jug with exquisite relief carvings appeared in his hand: "Since we have known the origin of evil spirits for a long time, such things are often encountered but not sought after, how could the old man be able to do so beforehand?" Not ready yet? With the help of your grandfather, I have almost prepared the fourth-level advanced potion two or three years ago."

"It's just that most advanced medicines can't and dare not be stored for a long time, so they are often made into semi-finished products by pharmacists. When they are used, they can be blended and fused in the last few simple steps at any time, and they can be taken directly."

Shang Xia was surprised: "There is such an operation?"

Shang Ke said: "It is not easy to make high-level advanced potions, but advanced opportunities are also unpredictable, and they are often fleeting. If you want to seize the advanced opportunities, you can only prepare advanced potions in advance. Make an article on it."

Shang Xia nodded thoughtfully.

Shang Xia followed Shang Ke to the stone room because he was afraid that Shang Ke might misunderstand.

Since the matter did not happen, Shang Xia was ready to leave, not daring to delay his senior's advancement time.

Unexpectedly, just as Shang Xia was about to get up, Shang Ke suddenly had a thoughtful look on his face, and said, "Xiao Xia, what do you think of the relationship between the family and the academy?"

Shang Xia was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously blurted out: "Everyone prospers, every one loses!"

Shang Ke nodded, with a noncommittal expression on his face, and said: "You are not wrong. Tongyou Academy is indeed the foundation of the strength of the entire Youzhou, and Kou Shanchang is a genius. But the fifth grandfather always believes that the family It should not be too tightly tied to the academy, at least the independence of the Shang family must be maintained."

Shang Xia was taken aback for a moment, apparently he did not expect Shang Ke to say such a thing.

Shang Xia looked at Shang Ke with piercing eyes, and carefully asked, "Why did Fifth Grandfather tell me this?"

Shang Ke took a deep look at him, and said, "Third Brother has too deep an academy brand on him...Of course, this is not an accusation, but an affirmation, affirmation of his contribution to the rise of the family. In fact, from a certain In this sense, the rise of merchants in Tongyou City was originally the result of Kou Shanchang's deliberate support."

Shang Xia didn't quite understand it. From the tone of Grandpa Fifth, Mr. Kou Shan supported Shang Xia for another purpose, but the Shang family is indeed one of the four major families in Tongyou City. There is something to do.

But Shang Xia could not directly refute, but kept silent and listened quietly.

Seeing that Shang Xia was speechless, Shang Ke probably had some guesses about what was in his mind, and saw that he also thought about it: "I mean, Kou Shanzhang and Tongyou Academy have been kind to the Shang family. This kind of kindness cannot be denied, but the elders of our family will repay it, and we will try our best to repay it. After all, the merchant is an independent family force. It can be an ally, partner, and collaborator of Tongyou College, but it is absolutely You can't become the vassal of the other party, at least you can't become the vassal of Tongyou Academy in the future, and live on the breath of others, can you understand what I mean?"

After a little hesitation, Shang Ke finally nodded.

Shang Ke smiled, and seemed to be afraid that Shang Xia would think too much, so he ordered one more sentence: "I don't want you to be an enemy of the academy!"

"I know!"

Shang Xia suddenly raised his head and smiled, "I understand what you mean, I think I will grasp the heat."

Shang Ke's face showed relief, but he still said in his mouth: "The heat is not so easy to grasp."

While talking, Shang Ke took out a jade bottle from the brocade cloud box, and after pouring the medicine in the bronze pot into the jade bottle, a strong aroma of wine began to pervade.

I saw Shang Ke took two more paper bags, poured the powders of different colors into them, and then crushed two wax pills and soaked them in the jade bottle, which melted quickly.

Shang Ke held up the jade bottle with one hand, shook it slightly, and sighed: "The fourth-level advanced potion 'Multiple Thousand Illusions' is no different from the advanced potion your grandfather used when he entered the fourth level. Second, all are provided for Chief Kou Shan!"

"Oh," Shang Xia nodded, suddenly startled, looked up at Shang Ke and said, "Fifth Grandpa, you said that the fourth-level advanced potion was provided by Mr. Kou Shan, and our merchant does not have its own fourth-level advanced potion. recipe?"

Shang Ke's smile was slightly bitter: "Son, people say that the merchant is one of the four major families in Tongyou City, and your grandfather is now as close as Ji Wenlong. If I can succeed this time, then our merchant has two big and four big families. Chongtian, in the eyes of outsiders, it must be the largest family in Tongyou City. But who would have thought that the Shang family, one of the so-called four major families, actually does not even have a fourth-level advanced formula belonging to their own family? What about inheritance?"

Shang Xia said in a muffled voice, "Do the other three have?"

Shang Ke nodded and said, "Yes, there must be! The Ji, Liu, and Yun families were originally the third of the five great families in Youzhou. Of course they have their own fourth-order inheritance."

Shang Xia asked again in a deep voice: "My grandfather and you both made an oath that the recipe of 'Multiple Thousand Magic Brew' cannot be passed on to the outside world?"

Shang Ke nodded, and said: "This is the usual method of the academy, so there is nothing wrong with it. Moreover, this 'Multiple Thousand Illusory Brews' can be regarded as the fourth-level advanced formula in the collection of the academy, and it is the one that is most suitable for our merchants to grab. .”

"It's just that without the advanced inheritance of the fourth heaven, our business is still a city wall on the sand, and it can't stand the wind and rain at all. Once something happens to me or your grandfather, our merchant's fourth heaven master will be out of gear immediately, and the Shang family will also immediately lose their position." It will fall from the four major families, and it may even be a disaster!"

"So now we need an advanced formula for the fourth heaven, an advanced formula for the fourth level that belongs exclusively to our merchant!" Shang Xia muttered to himself after taking the words.

Shang Ke said: "Every advanced formula of the fourth level is very precious, but if there is a chance, it is best to find a fourth-level advanced formula that is relatively compatible with our business's martial arts inheritance."

Shan Ke paused and continued: "The most perfect martial arts inherited by our merchants is centered on spear skills, and the first and second ranks are also worth it. When you start to advance to the third stage, I hope you can go to the merchant One way to grab the pulse. Although my merchant's gun does not have the inheritance of the fourth level, it is recognized as strong at the third level. When your grandfather was in the martial arts realm, he may not be the same as Ouyang Jiyuan who died just before."

Shang Xia said: "Good!"

After advancing to the Martial Artistic Realm, it was Shang Xia's plan to practice the merchant's family-inherited Martial Arts.

The aroma of wine in Shang Ke's jade bottle became more and more intense during the constant shaking, and Shang Xia felt dizzy even after taking two breaths of wine.

"Actually, the opening of the coral forest ruins this time is the best chance to win the fourth-order advanced formula!" Shang Ke sighed.

Shang Xia was stunned, and suddenly said: "Zhu family's fourth-level advanced formula? Could it be that this is the real purpose of Deputy Head Liu, Rose Society, Tongyou College, and the four major families?"

Shang Ke smiled and didn't answer directly, but asked: "Do you know how many ways the Zhu family has that can directly lead to the fourth-order martial arts inheritance?"

Shang Xia shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Shang Ke curled up his open palm with a thumb back and said, "Four kinds!"

Shang Xia was startled for a moment, then sighed: "It is worthy of being the No. 1 family in the former Youzhou! It's just that these four inheritances are related to the four spirit lands of Shanhu Forest?"

"I didn't know it before, but now it seems that it is indeed related!" Shang Ke said.

Shang Xia said enviously: "The Zhu family's profound heritage is indeed breathtaking!"

At this time, Shang Ke suddenly said: "But these four fourth-level advanced formulas are not really things that will make Tongyou City and Rose Crazy..."

"What could that be?" Shang Xia subconsciously asked strangely.

"Fifth order!"

Shang Ke's eyes looked a little hollow at this time, and even his voice seemed to be ethereal: "There have been rumors among the high-ranking warriors in Youzhou that the old patriarch of the Zhu clan held a complete Wugang-level advanced formula in his hand. !"
