God Rewards Those Who Work Hard: No Pains, 100% Gains

"Oh, business can't be done."

Gao Zhengzhi sat in front of the table with a depressed face, and looked up at Xu Ke.

"Tiangong Pavilion has joined the Southern Alliance, and the Universal Business Alliance has joined the Four Factions Alliance. All the shops opened by the various sects have been closed, and all the personnel have been withdrawn. The market in Haoyang City has become depressed."

"You don't believe it when you say it, even the pavilions opened by the Maiden Sect and the Hehuan Sect are closed."

Gao Zhengzhi let out a long sigh, "All the medicines, spells, instruments, and even food and supplies are all increasing in price, but I can only watch and can't get involved at all."

"You must not meddle."

Xu Ke shook his head with a smile, "It's okay to do business, but you have to stand firm. You can do business with peace of mind because you have the backing of your sect. You can't only care about your own interests, but harm the interests of the sect."

"Your surname is not Ma, so don't be so stubborn. You must be consistent with the overall situation of the sect, otherwise, it is true that the sect can't deal with you?"

"Sell the magic weapon in your hand, as well as other purified materials, to the sect at a low price!"

Xu Ke put down the "Yuan Fu Jing" jade slip in his hand, and said to Gao Zhengzheng: "In addition, keep some magical artifacts, put them in the Baibaozhai of Bishuitan, and sell them to disciples of Bishuitan at a low price. Ready for battle!"

"clear."

Gao Zhengzhi nodded, and didn't care about the question of "whether the surname is Ma or not."

After finishing speaking, Gao Zhengzhi approached him again, lowered his voice and said: "I heard that Master Ming Hong, the master of the Si Nong Palace, died. Who do you think will be the next Si Nong Palace Master?"

"Don't worry about these trivial matters."

Xu Ke waved his hand, "Hurry up and prepare yourself combat equipment, magical weapons and spiritual weapons, and prepare a few more for emergencies."

"clear."

Gao Zhengzhi nodded, and said, "I mean, only true disciples are qualified to be the Master of the Sinong Hall. You are also a true disciple, can you..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, get out!"

Xu Ke waved his hand directly and sent Gao Zhengzhi away.

Master Ming Hong, the master of the Temple of Sinong, passed away, and the position of the master of the Hall of Sinong became vacant.

Although Master Ming Hong also accepted disciples, and still held the post of "Guardian" in the Examination Division of Sinong Hall, his sense of existence was very low, and he hardly participated in the examination affairs, and only devoted himself to cultivation.

According to Gao Zhengzhi's statement, Xu Ke is indeed qualified to take over as the master of the Palace of Sinong.

Moreover, Master Zhangjiao has already expressed this meaning.

only……

Xu Ke sighed, I really just want to be a research-oriented monk, I don't want to be in power, there are too many trifles.

"Senior Brother Liu, are you free? Please come to Kunwu Academy."

Xu Ke picked up the summoning talisman and sent a summons to Liu Yongtian from Bishuitan Baibaozhai.

"I am coming over now."

Liu Yongtian hung up the call and hurried over.

After a while, Liu Yongtian came to Kunwu Courtyard, bowed his hands to Xu Ke, "What orders does Fangzheng have?"

"Senior brother Liu, you are too polite."

Xu Ke greeted him with a smile, led Liu Yongtian in, and sat down in the main hall.

"Senior Brother Liu, I don't know how you've changed since you switched to Five Elements Kungfu?"

After the two sat down, Xu Ke asked Liu Yongtian.

"The transfer to practice went smoothly, and it is estimated that within this year, he can recover to the level of perfect Qi training."

Liu Yongtian stood up and bowed to Xu Ke, "I would also like to thank Junior Brother Xu for his support, otherwise, Old Liu, I would have to sit and wait for the loess to fall."

"Senior Brother Liu, you don't need to be polite."

Xu Ke stretched out his hand for a move, and the "Five Elements Wheel" fell into his hand.

This is Xu Ke's first practice of refining spiritual weapons. I don't know whether it is good craftsmanship or good luck. For the spirit weapon.

Xu Ke strengthened the material again, and planned to give the "Five Elements Wheel" to Liu Yongtian for protection.

"Senior brother Liu, this is a spiritual weapon, which fits very well with your kung fu. Now that the Zongmen battle is imminent, it is just right for senior brother to defend himself."

With that said, Xu Ke handed the "Five Elements Wheel" to Liu Yongtian, "Take it, don't be polite to me."

"This...then I would like to thank Junior Brother Xu."

Liu Yongtian bowed and took the spiritual weapon "Five Elements Wheel".

The circumstances of life are indeed fickle.

He had been wasting away for decades, even reaching the end of his lifespan, and could only wait to die, but he suddenly got the opportunity to build a foundation.

Now...the foundation has not yet been established, and even the spirit weapon for foundation establishment is available.

Xu Ke, you are truly my destiny!

"I still have things to do these days. Brother Liu has to worry about the management of the Bishuitan disciples."

Xu Ke stood up and bowed back to Liu Yongtian, "Brother, please bear with me."

"Don't dare."

Liu Yongtian clasped his fists in a salute, "But there is an order, and there is nothing I can't do."

"Then please brother!"

Xu Ke nodded with a smile, and after explaining to Liu Yongtian, Liu Yongtian left.

After sending Liu Yongtian away, Xu Ke began to concentrate on...studying again.

Yes, put your head down and study.

The process of analyzing the Heavenly Demon Talisman has encountered difficulties, or in other words, there has not been much progress at all, and it is still stuck at the first step. So far, it still cannot understand the basic magic patterns.

This made Xu Ke doubt his "knowledge" for a while.

So Xu Ke began to make up lessons.

The foundation-building spells of the Yuan Fu Jing, the twenty-eight mansions and stars method of the Tianxing School, and the Canglang Sword Art of the Manghe Sword School. All the foundation-building spells, exercises, and talisman arrays that I have read in the Sutra Pavilion of Haoyang Mountain.

It even included the natural texture structure that Xu Ke saw when he helped Zhuo Muxian stimulate a special seed.

Some of this knowledge is revisited, some is concentrated on learning, some comprehends by analogy, and some is compared for reference...

When Xu Ke was learning and reviewing the knowledge, he even learned a hundred times, and integrated the knowledge into a mastery.

However, even so, Xu Ke still failed to find a way to interpret the magic pattern.

Whether it is the foundation-building spells of the Yuanfujing, or the talisman structure of the two Jindan exercises, there is no basic rune that is the same or similar to the basic magic pattern.

Could it be... the basic runes and the basic magic patterns are two completely unrelated things?

This is impossible!

Since magic skills can be practiced and magic spells can be cast, it means that the magic system must still be within the scope of the spiritual power system.

The so-called "magic energy" must be just a special form of spiritual energy.

There are still rumors in the practice world, saying that "a hundred days of cultivating the Tao is not as good as becoming a demon in one thought", this is talking about the quick success of the magic way of cultivation method, and it is also talking about the power of the magic way of practice.

In Xu Ke's view, this further shows that the practice of magic and the practice of immortality are essentially two sides of the same body, and they lead to the same goal by different routes.

Wait, one body with two sides? Plus or minus? yin and yang?

If aura is positive energy, magic energy is negative energy?

This is indeed an idea!

A flash of inspiration flashed in Xu Ke's mind, and he sank into deep research again.

——

southern region.

In a remote cave in the mountains, the Ming and Qing Daoist lay down in the cave, his whole body was hot and he coughed violently.

After suffering the "Treat Fever Curse" from Fairy Xinglin, even if the demon seized his home, he was tortured to and fro on the sick bed, dying.

With the cultivation base of Daoist Jindan, he actually has the ability to regulate his own "Yuan Zong Ying Wei" four qi.

However, having this ability does not mean being able to do it.

Having hands gives you the ability to write, but you still have to learn how to write to be able to write.

The real people of Ming and Qing Dynasties do have the ability to regulate the four qi of "Yuanzong Yingwei" in the body, but she is not a doctor, how can she know how to regulate it?

Not to mention his transformation into a demon, which is not a creature of flesh and blood. It doesn't even have the concept of illness. How can it be expected to know medical skills?

Therefore, the real people of Ming and Qing Dynasties could only hide in the barren mountains and linger slowly, waiting for the body to overcome the disease and recover by itself.

For a demon like "Hehuazizai Tianmo", staying in one place for a long time and not being able to go out to make troubles is simply like going to jail, which is completely unbearable.

"How long will it take to recover?"

He transformed himself into a heavenly demon in his soul to inquire about the consciousness of Ming and Qing real people.

"How would I know? I'm not a doctor!" Ming Qing Daoist replied.

"You flesh and blood creatures are so fragile, how can you still get sick?" He was very dissatisfied with Hua Zi Zi Tian Mo.

This is not a disease, this is a medical spell.

Under normal circumstances, how could Daoist Jindan get sick?

The real people of Ming and Qing were muttering in their hearts, and they didn't bother to talk about "he turned into a free demon".

For the current situation, Ming and Qing real people are quite satisfied.

If you are unwell, you cannot go out to kill and set fire, and you will not continue to do evil. It would be best if he could stay sick like this forever.

"You think it's better to be sick?"

"You think you can't do evil when you're sick?"

"Haha! How childish!"

"I'm 'He Huazizi Tianmo'! Do you think I'm the only one with this trick?"

He Huazizi Tianmo burst into laughter, "There is also an incarnation of the seven emotions over there, and there are many fun things to do!"

"Do you think...it is better for a father to be kind and filial to his son, or is it better for father and son to kill each other?"

——

Manghe Sword Sect, Tianjian Peak.

In the back house of Canglang Hall, Youquan Zhenren and his wife stood side by side in front of a bed.

On the bed, lay a handsome young man wearing a brocade robe, a golden crown on his head, holding a sword in both hands.

This young man is naturally the dead body of the son of Master Youquan.

After unsealing the ice coffin, tidying up his appearance, he put his son on the bed, and after one last glance, Immortal Youquan was about to cut off the golden core in his son's body with a sword.

Now that he has been enchanted, and since he has been refined into the incarnation of the seven emotions, even if there is still a trace of life left, even if he is not completely dead, it is still "life is better than death".

"Han'er..."

Reverend Youquan's wife, and his junior sister Reverend Youlan, reached out and touched his son's face, tears rolled down his eyes.

Seeing this situation, Master Youquan felt a sharp pain in his heart, his eyes were red, and he clenched his fist tightly.

"Junior Sister, it's time!"

After a while, Master Youquan stretched out his hand and pulled his wife over, "He has been refined into the incarnation of the seven emotions, even if there is still a trace of life left, he would be better off than dead. I...help him escape with my own hands!"

"Son..."

Master Youlan burst into tears, but also knew that this was the best choice.

Life is better than death, and it is better to be liberated directly in order to reincarnate.

There was a "choke".

Master Youquan pulled out the long sword from his waist.

With Master Youquan's cultivation base, the sword must be as stable as a rock, and there will be no looseness in the slightest.

However... when Master Youquan pulled out the sword, he was not as good as a novice who had just learned swordsmanship, his wrist trembled, and the sword light trembled.

I raised my hand several times, but this sword was so difficult that I couldn't stab it at all!

"Son, let me help you out!"

"I will definitely find out the real culprit, and I will avenge you!"

Taking a deep breath, Immortal Youquan closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, raised his long sword, and was about to stab at the bed.

The real Youlan next to him turned around, closed his eyes, and two lines of hot tears rolled down his cheeks.

"Father, mother."

At this time, the silent body lying on the bed suddenly came to life and called out to Youquan Zhenren and his wife.

The sound of "Father and Mother" made Master Youquan tremble all over, tears splashed in his tiger's eyes, and the long sword in his hand could no longer stab.

Master Youlan was startled when he heard this call, as if struck by lightning, he suddenly turned around and looked over.

"Son..."

Seeing his son who had come back to life, Master Youlan let out a mournful cry, got up and was about to rush forward.

Master Youquan quickly reached out to stop him.

Taking a long breath, Master Youquan raised his eyes to look at his "son" sitting on the bed, gritted his teeth, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who... are you?"

"Father, mother, what's the matter with you? Don't you know me? My common name is Jiang Zhongliu, and my dao name is Chengming. I am your son!"

The young man on the bed had a pure face and clear eyes, without the slightest hint of magic, just like his previous son.

However……

How could Master Youquan be ignorant of the weirdness and horror of the magic methods?

"If I hadn't seen the Heavenly Demon Talisman in your body with my own eyes, maybe you could have fooled me."

Master Youquan gritted his teeth, and raised the long sword in his hand again, "My son is strong and upright, heroic and decisive, devil, how can I allow you to desecrate my son's body?"

"Die!"

The sword light that was full of water rippled up, and the sword light condensed in a line, and the sword of the torrent lingered.

"Father, do you really believe Hao Yangzong's words?"

"The matter of the incarnation of seven emotions is just one side of Haoyang School."

"Do you think it's possible that I was just cursed by Hao Yangzong with magic methods?"

Facing the sword that Immortal Youquan was about to slash, the young man did not dodge or dodge, but looked up at Immortal Youquan, and spoke calmly.

"Youquan..."

As soon as these words came out, Immortal Youlan grabbed hold of Immortal Youquan, "What he said is not unreasonable, don't..."

"Let go! He is no longer our son. When I talked to him, I never mentioned the incarnation of seven emotions..."

Master Youquan hurriedly explained to his wife.

Uh... was discovered? This is boring!

He changed his mind about transforming himself into a heavenly demon. If the father is not good and the son is filial, then father and son can only kill each other.

"Clang..."

A sword howl rose into the sky.

The young man jumped up and stabbed at Youquan real person with a sword, and the glimmering water condensed into a drop, which was the sword of dripping water.

What a trick "Father's Loving Son's Sword of Filial Piety"!

Arthas, the Lich King, called out to the experts!
