Chapter 108 Bottleneck blocking the way? Then get married first (1.05W, no cheating for readers)
The fact that Old Cui, who served the Stone Ancestor, was killed by Old Ancestor Xian Zhou did not cause even a ripple. The biggest consequence might be that a large number of monsters attacking the Hewan Fishing Port were directly reduced.

In the past two years, Hewan Fishing Port was attacked by a small demon only once, and Zhang Xuewu and his men solved it without Wang Yulou even moving.

He now puts almost all his energy into cultivation.

The scale of time is illusory for cultivators. After Wang Yulou went through many troubles and completely established his foothold in the Dripping Cave, his cultivation was like pressing the accelerator.

However, from the perspective of acceleration, the elixir that Yulou took every day increased his cultivation speed by more than six times. Combined with not sleeping and not being distracted by chores, the result was that his cultivation speed increased by eleven times.

Cultivate Guishui Qi, temper your spiritual awareness while tracing your pulse, practice fighting techniques, and, well, constantly heal and heal.

Extreme speed comes at a price. Adding up the consumption of various elixirs, Yulou has probably used up various resources worth 20,000 spirit stones in two years. It seems that Patriarch Zhou's alchemy furnace is almost producing sparks.

However, the effect was also significant. With the aptitude of dual spiritual roots, Wang Yulou cultivated to perfection in the third level of Qi training on his 25th birthday.

When he was about to break through the fourth level of Qi training, the first bottleneck that Yu Lou encountered in Qi training finally appeared.

“It’s just a small bottleneck, or even not a bottleneck at all. Most dual spiritual root cultivators won’t encounter such a bottleneck.

You have encountered this bottleneck simply because you are practicing too fast. Even if I accompany you to fight once a week to temper your spiritual energy, the speed of practicing the third level of Qi in three years is still too fast. "Wang Xianzhou analyzed.

Faced with the legendary bottleneck, Yulou was a little worried at first, but after hearing what Ancestor Xianzhou said, he felt that there was nothing to worry about.

Yes, three levels in three years, this speed has already gained a lot of time advantage. Even if the bottleneck traps him for a while, it will not delay his practice speed.

Normally, a cultivator with dual spiritual roots can usually practice at three to five times the normal speed, and it takes five to seven years to reach the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi training.

Yulou's cultivation speed is eleven times that of normal cultivation. He reached the bottleneck in three years and gained an advantage of at least three years.

Here, his comparison objects are those children of big families, Zhou Yingxi, Lin Ying, and even the disciples of big families in the Immortal Alliance, etc.

Why is Patriarch Xian Zhou so concerned about Tui Yu Lou's rapid cultivation?
Because the ancestor knew how important the time advantage that Yulou had gained was.

Dripping Cave - Red Lantern - Immortal Alliance, this is the future development path of Yulou that he expects.

Patriarch Xian Zhou believed that with Yulou's qualifications and talents, as well as his calm and peaceful nature, he would have the opportunity to touch upon the possibility that the Wang family had been pursuing for 1,200 years but which was out of reach.

The time saved now will be enough for Yulou to open Zifu in the future!
"Ancestor, how should Yulou deal with this bottleneck now?

"Take the pill? Or try some spiritual nourishment? Or perhaps break through the barriers with some legendary fighting technique?" Yulou asked.

When monks face bottlenecks, there are many strategies available.

Taking pills is the simplest way. Various great pills and precious pills for breaking through realms are specially prepared for the bottlenecks of cultivators.

To nourish the cultivator with spiritual objects, one should eat more and take more, accumulate overflowing resources, and add certain auxiliary spiritual pills to help the cultivator break through.

Compared to a breakthrough through taking elixirs, the solution of breaking through with spiritual nourishment is better for the future of those who break through.

It's still the same logic. It's easy to break through the bottleneck by taking elixirs, but if you do it too often, you'll be in big trouble when you face a real bottleneck in the future.

The elixirs for Qi training are easy to get, and any foundation-building family can provide them to their children.

However, it is difficult to obtain elixirs after the foundation is established. If a cultivator develops a dependence on elixirs to break through the barriers, his room for dealing with bottlenecks in the future will be squeezed.

As for fighting to break through the barriers, it is exclusive to independent cultivators.

What should I do if I have no resources, no support from any forces, no useful elixirs to help me, but still want to break through the level as soon as possible?
Go and fight. Between life and death there is not only great terror, but also great potential.

Using life-and-death crises to stimulate potential, fighting and breaking through levels, it’s quite exciting just to think about it.

However, when Wang Xianzhou heard Yulou's words, his expression became very serious. He spoke solemnly and gave an instruction.

"Battle to break through the barrier. Yulou, remember this: never engage in any ridiculous battles to break through the barrier in your life.

I'm afraid that few can break it, and most of them die in the fight.

The founder attained the Golden Elixir and plundered all the wealth of all the forces, big and small, under the Red Lantern Society. This is the correct way of cultivation.

I teach you how to fight, not so that you can fight with people or monsters whenever you have nothing to do, but so that you can protect yourself and go further!"

Yulou naturally nodded repeatedly. The ancestor was right. The lucky ones were a minority after all. Fighting to break through the barriers was indeed too dangerous.

"So which way should I choose?"

Which method to choose to pass the level really stumped Wang Xianzhou.

Patriarch Xian Zhou thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and spoke.

"Yulou, if you want to go further in your cultivation, you must think carefully before taking one step.

Your current bottleneck is too small. My suggestion is that you don't need to take pills or use spiritual nourishment, but rely on yourself to slowly improve yourself.

Including every bottleneck you encounter in the Qi training stage in the future, I do not recommend you to take pills to break through, and the same goes for building the foundation.

The strategy of taking pills to break through should be saved for use after building the foundation!

Only in this way can we maintain the advantages gained in the Qi training stage during the foundation building stage."

Seeing Yulou nodded in agreement, Wang Xianzhou continued to add.

"Of course, grinding slowly doesn't mean just waiting to pass the level. You still need to have a strategy."

"Oh, what's the strategy?"

Yulou was looking forward to ancestor Xian Zhou's strategy. To put it bluntly, the ancestor was delayed, otherwise, he would have successfully established his foundation now.

With his many years of immersion in the world of immortal cultivation and his experience of traveling the world as a member of the Immortal Alliance, the strategies he provides are definitely very valuable.

"Work on three different aspects to increase your chances of breaking through.

First, I will prepare an auxiliary elixir for you every two weeks. The effect of the auxiliary elixir will increase gradually from the first time until you break through the level.

In this way, you can enjoy the wonderful effect of the elixir without causing trouble in your future practice because of using the elixir to break through.

Second, you have gained several years of advantage, so we don’t need to be so anxious. Next, before you break through, start training your body!
The method of refining the body cannot be achieved at the same time. Usually only those who have no hope of building a foundation for the Purple Palace will practice body refining, so as to nourish the soul with the body, in order to live longer.

But now, since you cannot make a breakthrough in the short term, you can use your time to refine your body, which is also an important part of increasing your foundation.

Even if it can only produce a little effect, it will be of great benefit in fighting, cultivation, and even in prolonging life in the future.

Third, change your practice environment. When you are extremely still, you will want to move. You cannot stay in one place for a long time when practicing, especially if you are a young person.

You have been practicing on this shitty platform for more than two years. It is time to change to another place and see if you can change the environment and change your chances of breaking through."

Silently digesting Patriarch Xian Zhou's three measures, Yulou thought of some difficulties.

"Ancestor, there are two things that are rather troublesome.

The head of the sect is still cracking down severely. If I rashly leave Hewan Fishing Village, even though the Dongtian Patrol and the Bishui Palace Inspector will not care about me because of the special power of our Wang family outside the Dripping Water Cave, it is still a risk.

In addition, Hewan Fishing Village should be assigned three garrison monks, and now there is a vacancy for Xiaoyu. If I leave, Zhang Xuewu will be the only one left."

This...is not appropriate either."

Wang Yulou took so many spiritual fish from the Dripping Water Cave by taking advantage of his position as the guardian monk, so naturally he had to bear the corresponding responsibilities.

He just walked away and was absent from his post for a long time. Of course, the head of the sect would not kill him. After all, the Wang family was a family outside the Dripping Cave. As long as Wang Yulou did not go too far, no one would make an enemy of him.

However, the means and manner of doing things are still very important.

This is related to how Wang Yulou can establish himself in the Dripping Cave and how he can establish himself under the red light.

Only those who know how to respect the rules and can see the overall situation will have the opportunity to become people who master the rules and are the overall situation themselves.

There are too many talented people in the world, and Wang Yulou is not qualified to be proud of himself.

Building the Golden Terrace to gain power may seem ostentatious, but his fellow disciples who see it will only say that Wang Yulou has elegant tastes.

But if Wang Yulou treats leaving his job rashly as a trivial matter, he is destined not to go far!

Wang Xianzhou chuckled and said.

"It's not difficult. Isn't it enough to let Xiaoyu break through the Qi training stage as soon as possible?"

Yulou was stunned for a moment. Yes, if Bai Xiaoyu could break through the Qi training as soon as possible, that would be the solution to the dilemma.

Wang Yulou didn't leave his post and run away to the Dripping Cave. He would eventually stay near the Hewan Fishing Village. At most, he would just change the place to practice.

Two Qi training stage monks guarding the fishing port are actually enough.

But Yulou reminded in a low voice.

"Old Ancestor, you know that breaking through to the Qi Training Stage from the Qi Induction Stage is not something you can do by taking shortcuts."

As everyone knows, the rules of heaven and earth have been modified by the great monks. The modified rules restrict all means for the monks in the Qi Induction Stage to increase their cultivation speed.

The harsh restrictions of this artificial screening mechanism have killed the lives of countless cultivators with four or five spiritual roots.

The Dripping Cave Heaven is semi-connected to the outside world, and the Qi-inducing monks in the cave heaven must also abide by this rule.

"No, Yulou, you know, there is actually a shortcut."

"Dongtian?"

Wang Yulou was somewhat suspicious whether the ancestor was stupid. An Ning's Little Cave was the Wang family's biggest secret, so how could he let an outsider use it?

The old ancestor chuckled and said softly.

"No, double cultivation!"

Dual cultivation!? !

Wang Yulou was stunned for a moment, then he understood what the ancestor meant.

He was worried and spoke slowly.

"Ancestor, Bai Xiaoyu and I can help her break through by practicing together, but I'll keep my Yuan Yang. It won't be too late to use it after she builds her foundation and breaks through in the future."

How should I put it? Wang Yulou sometimes feels as if he has been alienated by his spiritual practice.

In order to practice, his principles of action are extremely stable and even boring.

In order to practice, he even had to decide in advance what kind of person his future partner would be - she had to come from a big family and be able to provide him with support.

In order to cultivate, he even calculated his own Yuan Yang.
If spiritual practice is the process of restraining chaotic desires and focusing on the Tao, then Yulou's choice is not wrong, but no one can give a definition of what spiritual practice is.

There are ten different methods in the ten sects alone. When a Qigong cultivator cultivates one spiritual energy, there can be countless differences among them.

That's why Yulou had some concerns just now.

He was not only worried about the possibility of losing his own vital energy by practicing dual cultivation with Bai Xiaoyu, which was a bit of a "waste of talent", but also about his own mentality and state. To be honest, Yulou did not like himself this way.

Is it worth it to be cowardly and calculating just for the sake of practicing?

In the past, he might not have had the leisure to think about these useless things. Perhaps it was because he had reached a bottleneck and the improvement of his cultivation was no longer immediate, so he had these thoughts in his irritable mood.

"The effect of Yuan Yang is not as great as you think, even less than a realm-breaking elixir.

Your cultivation is much higher than Bai Xiaoyu's. If you practice dual cultivation with her and assist her with the corresponding dual cultivation techniques, you can help her achieve a breakthrough in Qi training.

After all, she has been at the peak of Qi Induction for more than a year, so the accumulation itself is enough. "

Wang Xianzhou was more burly than Yulou. When he said this, he reached out and rubbed Yulou's head.

“Moreover, Yulou, you have been without parents since childhood, and left your family when you grew up. You first went to Qingxifang, and then came to Hewan Fishing Port.

You are grown up now, and you need someone who understands you and cares for you.

My idea is that Xiao Qin and Xiao Yu are both good, and they can be your true Taoist partners.

As for who to choose as your future nominal Taoist partner, it won’t be too late to talk about it later.”

The ancestor is urging me to get married.
Yulou still wanted to struggle, but he felt it was completely unnecessary.

Leaving Hewan Fishing Village to change the practice environment may not be helpful, and it is not so necessary to be with these two female practitioners so early.

Hmm? Could it be that the ancestor was intentionally guiding the conversation, leading it step by step to this point?
“This, Old Ancestor, Yulou is willing to follow your arrangements.

But between men and women, it’s a matter between the two of them, and it all depends on what Xiao Qinyu and Xiaoyu think.”

"Yulou Yuanyuan" - Wang Xianzhou only heard this sentence, and he said he didn't hear the rest clearly.

Patriarch Xian Zhou clapped his hands with great satisfaction and said.

"Hahaha, Xiao Qin agreed, Xiao Yu, go and talk to her yourself, you are her benefactor.

Moreover, you can hold a concubine ceremony before breaking through the barrier, and you can also legitimately invite fellow disciples you have met in the past few years to participate.

At that time, when they see your cultivation level and realize that you are taking a concubine instead of marrying a Taoist partner, they will naturally understand that you want to keep the position of Taoist partner for the beauty.

In this way, those who want to place a bet in advance will naturally contact you - how could Wang's real Qilin be in need of a Taoist companion? It's just like that when a rare commodity is in great demand."

Seeing that the ancestor was so happy, Yulou, who was a little confused by the ancestor's sudden attack, had no choice but to agree.

The ancestor would never harm him, so these suggestions are all good ones.

However, Yulou felt that it was still a little too fast.

"Grandmaster, I have agreed to this matter. I will choose an opportunity to discuss it with Xiaoyu later. As for the details, we will never use force to pressure others. It depends on her intentions. What do you think?"

Wang Xianzhou knew Yulou's thoughts, which were nothing more than being too hasty.

But he didn't care. Cultivation was something that required every second count.

The life span of immortal cultivators may seem long, but if they cannot achieve the Purple Palace, even if they have supernatural powers and build a foundation, they will eventually die.

It is easy to live in the Purple Mansion for tens of thousands of years, and hiding in a cave will extend your life span to an infinite extent. That is the real freedom.

Now, Yulou is asked to progress faster, faster, practice faster, and take in concubines faster, all so that he can build his foundation as soon as possible, so that he will have a chance to break through the Purple Mansion Pass that more than a dozen generations of Wang family members have been unable to reach.

"Okay! Whether she agrees or not, you will hold the concubine ceremony in a month.

You can show your cultivation to your fellow disciples and receive some gifts.

Go find Xiaoyu, and I'll figure out how to make the spiritual medicine for your body."

Wang Yulou left with a heavy heart. He didn't know how to face Bai Xiaoyu. What if the girl didn't agree? Wouldn't he, Wang Yulou, be a clown?

However, Wang Xianzhou's mood was visibly good. He called Red Sparrow and started writing the letter directly.

Wang Xianmao, Wang Jingyi, Wang Rongjiang, and Tie Qinhe, the four Wang family members have established their foundation. Now that Yulou is taking in concubines, there should be two of them, no matter how high or low, right?
Taking a concubine itself is not such a grand event. The problem is that Yulou's taking a concubine this time also involves the selection of his future formal Taoist partner.

It’s time to give an explanation as to whether Yulou will return to his family in the future, or develop in Dripping Cave or Hongdengzhao.

The clan leader wanted to wait until the Jade Tower had established its foundation before discussing these things, but this was actually postponing the problem instead of solving it.

Wang Xianzhou didn't have so many concerns. In his opinion, Yulou was the best child.

Whether Yulou chooses to stay in the sect or return to the family, the clan should give him more support.

Even though the Wang family is in a transition period and resources are extremely tight, it wouldn't be too much to at least have two foundation-building masters to support the situation, right?
-
In the quiet room, Wang Yulou was tracing his pulse.

The practice of Guishui spiritual energy has reached the limit of the third level of Qi training and cannot continue, but pulse tracing can be done at any time and cannot be slacked off.

After receiving the call from Yulou, Qin Churan quietly came to the door of the quiet room.

She stood there obediently, silently looking at Wang Yulou who was concentrating on tracing his pulse, her eyes full of awe.

Three years and three levels. Even if Qin Churan didn't understand the practice of Qigong cultivators, he understood how extraordinary Wang Yulou's practice speed was.

After all, with Zhang Xuewu as a reference, Lao Zhang has been practicing Qi for thirty years, but he is only at the fifth level. He still has a long way to go before he can reach the sixth level.

After a long time, Yulou finally recovered from his stiff state. He took a pill to nourish his meridians and said.

"Come in, Chu Ran. Has Uncle Rong Zhou discussed this matter with you?"

The ancestor said that Xiao Qin agreed, but Yulou still wanted to confirm it.

"Senior Wang, Chu Ran is willing."

Qin Churan's statement made Yulou a little anxious.

Being a Taoist companion, a partner, or even a concubine is a responsibility, and he asked himself if he could be so cold-hearted.

The unity of opposites of contradictions is always significant. The conclusion of a contractual relationship is a good thing, but it is also a complicated matter.

With one more person following him, Yulou would have an extra reliable helper, but correspondingly, he would also have more cause and effect.

However, Xiao Qin has always been very smart and is a talent worth cultivating.

If we ignore her cultivation and background, she might be slightly worse than Lin Ying in terms of talents that can be cultivated, but at least not worse than Zhou Yingxi.

When Yulou's cultivation is not high enough and he cannot expand his power by recruiting disciples, winning people's hearts through marriage can help him expand his influence.

The support of the family may be sufficient, but if Yulou wants to go far, it cannot rely on the family alone.

The so-called secluded practice and the wonderful life without years in the mountains are only pure fantasy. The cultivators of Wunan will eventually have to mix in the Immortal Alliance system.

Qin Churan and Bai Xiaoyu are both part of Yulou's future foundation.

"The concubine ceremony will be held in a month. If you feel wronged, refuse now."

"Chu Ran is not wronged, even if there is no title, I am willing to do it!"

Qin Churan knew in her heart that Wang Yulou, a man of extraordinary talent and a powerful family, was not someone she could get involved with.

In other words, Wang Yulou needed to guard the position of the monk, and he needed a reliable executor to guard the position of the monk, so he gave her such an opportunity.

Seeing that the girl was so disrespectful to him, Wang Yulou stood up, turned around and said solemnly.

“Status is not important, Chu Ran, you are a smart person, that’s why I chose you from so many Qi-inducing people and kept you by my side.

No need to think too much, just practice well. In this way, you can help me more and I will give you more in return.

In the future, if your cultivation level is high and your abilities are enhanced, I can make you my official Taoist partner."

Wang Yulou saw it very clearly.

A Taoist partner is a basket that can hold anything. It is nothing more than an alliance, just in the form of marriage.

The ancestor arranged Qin Churan and Bai Xiaoyu as his concubines because he was attracted by Qin Churan's competence and sense of propriety, and Bai Xiaoyu's qualifications and special relationship with Yulou.

The former can assist Yulou in its business operations, while the latter can help Yulou leave behind offspring with extraordinary talents.

In the ancestor's opinion, these two people can become Yulou's true emotional partners.

Therefore, although Yulou’s words just now seemed to be empty talk, they were not entirely empty talk.

Qin Churan's eyes began to turn red again, but Yulou turned around and said.

"Go, call Xiaoyu over."

"Yes"

Xiao Qin, crying with tears in her eyes, whispered.

Senior Wang was not very gentle, but Qin Churan didn't care at all because she didn't ask for much.

Looking at the Immortal Lord's image shrouded in smoke, Yulou was wondering how he should explain it to Bai Xiaoyu later.

'Hello, let's get married, but you can only be a concubine, okay?'

Not suitable. 'Xiaoyu, if you really know how to be grateful, then be my concubine. I won't treat you unfairly.'

Sabi.

'Bai Taoyou'

Forget it, no matter how you think about it, it's not appropriate. Yulou found that years of practice have made him lose the ability to communicate normally with girls.

Either they didn't communicate, or they communicated in the mode of fellow disciples or fellow Taoists. He had almost forgotten the rest.

But this is not a bad thing. It is precisely because of this mentality that Yulou can endure the loneliness and, with the extreme self-whip (pressure) and motivation (squeezing), achieve the super speed of reaching the third level of Qi training in three years.

Cultivation cannot be achieved by simply piling up elixirs and spiritual food. Yulou ate a lot of elixirs and spiritual fish.

But his achievements today are not just based on elixirs and magic fish.

Where did the elixir come from? It was given to me for free by the Xian Zhou Patriarch.

Why did Patriarch Xian Zhou give it as a gift?
Where did the spirit fish come from? It was contributed to him by the Hewan Fishing Port.

Why was the spiritual fish from Hewan Fishing Port given to him?
It’s all thanks to Yulou’s efforts!
If it were just based on background, there would be many people with better backgrounds than Yulou.

Even if he relied on the Jade Ruyi in his mind, the spirit stones that Yulou earned from refining equipment were not enough to buy spiritual pills for half a year.

Talent, background, and luck are ultimately empty. Only real effort and struggle can allow you to go further on the path of cultivation.
-
Qin Churan, with a heavy heart, walked out of Yulou's mansion and nodded to the two warriors standing guard outside the mansion. The warriors were flattered and quickly returned the greeting.

Xiao Qin smiled and said.

"Be alert, you two are doing well."

The warriors were even more terrified. What disease did this guy have today?

For lower-level executors in a closed system, any reward from a leader’s inspection is something they dare not even think about; the greatest reward is the leader’s not coming to see them.

If one day your leader suddenly becomes friendly for no apparent reason, don’t think too much about it. It’s probably not a good thing, and he may ask you to consider the overall situation.

However, Xiao Qin just smiled and left.

She knew very well that she had no family, had average talent, and was not the prettiest.

At least, it is much worse than Lin Ying.

Her only competitive advantage is that she is capable and useful enough.

Then just be a good slave.

Why.
Qin Churan walked to the stairs with a heavy heart, and saw the familiar senior sister again.

When this senior sister has nothing to do, she likes to sit on the steps on the hillside of Huangjintai Mountain, with her hands on her chin, looking towards the direction of Xiushui Lake. Sometimes she looks there for the whole day, and no one knows what she is looking at.

"Senior Sister Bai, Senior Wang is looking for you."

Qin Churan didn't say what it was, and Bai Xiaoyu didn't ask. They were actually not very familiar with each other.

Xiao Qin felt more stressed when he thought that he would have to stand behind this senior sister in the future.

It's very difficult. Since that's the case, I'll go and inspect the work of the various Qi-inducing monks in the Hewan Fishing Village.

Cattle and horses are Qin Churan's core competitiveness. Her beloved Senior Wang treats her like a little wife every day. Except for his mysterious disappearance once a week, he never leaves the mansion.

She doesn't have much time to practice every day, so naturally she has time to do good things for Wang Yulou.

----------

Bai Xiaoyu is different from Qin Churan. Perhaps because she was bullied so badly by the Cui family father and son since she was a child, she keeps a respectful distance from many male cultivators. For example, she never greets the warrior guarding the gate.

"Ha, you've gained weight again, Xiaohe."

As soon as he entered the front hall, Bai Xiaoyu saw He Laosan lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

This bird is cheap and lazy. Ever since someone started taking care of its feathers, it has lived an even more careless life.

When He Lao San saw that a mere female Qi-inducing cultivator dared to provoke him like that, he immediately wanted to stand up and peck Bai Xiaoyu hard. However, it was doomed to be futile, and instead, Bai Xiaoyu held the fate by the neck.

"Okay, I have something else to do, so I won't play with you today."

Putting aside He Lao San who was looking for trouble, Bai Xiaoyu said with a smile.

Speaking of which, Xiao Qin has a good relationship with Wang Xianzhou, but Bai Xiaoyu is different. She has a better relationship with He Laosan.

Quiet room. As soon as she entered the room, she looked at the huge stone trough beside it.

In the stone trough, there is the Stone Ancestor's egg. The egg itself is not very big, but there are too many spiritual objects and spiritual stones in the stone trough to cultivate it.

This is the egg of a great foundation-building demon, and both Wang Xianzhou and Wang Yulou attach great importance to it.

Although he would have extraordinary talent after birth without any special training, the two still built a special training trough for him.

Wang Yulou was studying the Taoist scriptures he had exchanged from the sect. Perhaps he was engrossed in reading, or perhaps he didn't know how to start.

Anyway, he didn't speak.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Bai Xiaoyu blinked, walked to the stone trough, stretched out his fingers and poked the turtle eggs in the trough, as if he wanted to feel how they felt.

However, with just such a light touch, the turtle egg cracked.

Yulou stood up in surprise, thought for a moment, and smiled.

"It's almost time."

"Senior Wang, what kind of spirit beast's egg is this?" Bai Xiaoyu looked towards Yulou.

"A turtle, huh? It should be something that Master Rong Zhou picked up."

Wang Yulou didn't blush or feel nervous. The turtle was good, the turtle was good. Its presence greatly alleviated Yulou's embarrassment.

The two of them stood quietly in front of the stone trough, watching the little turtle hatching.

It seemed that the eggshell was very hard. The little turtle struggled inside for a long time but couldn't crawl out.

"Senior Wang, this little turtle doesn't seem to have much talent. Why don't we just eat it like a spirit fish?"

Bai Xiaoyu suddenly said.

While Wang Yulou was still stunned, the little turtle in the eggshell quickly crawled out. It was not known whether Bai Xiaoyu's words had worked.

"Ha, scaring it really works!" Bai Xiaoyu clapped his hands excitedly.

The little turtle was gray all over, and its head that emerged from the shell was covered with mucus. Its whole body looked about the size of two palms.

When the little turtle saw the two people outside the shell, its neck shrank, as if it wanted to hide back again.

"He is at the initial stage of the Miscellaneous Demon Realm. Although his aura is weak, he is indeed at the initial stage of the Miscellaneous Demon Realm. He is born with cultivation and is indeed extraordinary." Yulou sighed softly.

"Yes, it's very cute. Senior Wang, can we let Xiaoyu feed it every day?"

Bai Xiaoyu gently tapped the little turtle's head with her finger and asked Yulou beside her.

"Well, Xiaoyu, do you want to break through the Qi training as soon as possible?"

It’s so difficult. Wang Yulou would rather fight the robbery cultivator by himself.

Bai Xiaoyu was severely bullied by the Cui family father and son. Although he is a few years older than Yulou, his mentality is actually much younger, so he likes to play with He Laosan.

Talking this to Xiaoyu now made Yulou feel like he was abducting a young girl.

"I want to! Senior Wang, is there any method to quickly break through the Qi training?"

Bai Xiaoyu said with some worry.

"This bottleneck has been holding me back for a year. I can't practice cultivation even if I want to. Sigh."

Okay, okay, girl, this is what you asked.

"Yes, but you need to marry me first, then I can use the dual cultivation method to help you break through as soon as possible.

When you become a Qi cultivator, you can naturally enter Huachi Palace and take over the position of the guardian monk left by Old Cui."

"Getting married?" Bai Xiaoyu seemed a little surprised, but it was a joyful surprise.

Qin Churan likes to perform, and his acting is average. Of course, Yulou doesn't care.

Xiaoyu doesn't like performing, but she seems very sincere at this moment.

"Yes, but for now I can only be your concubine, Xiaoyu. I have no intention of repaying your kindness.

The position of the monk guarding the Hewan Fishing Village cannot be left vacant for a long time, otherwise changes will occur over time.

Of course, it depends on your opinion. If you think it is acceptable, I will not treat you unfairly in the future."

Concubines, fellow Taoists, apprentices, and subordinates are actually all means of expanding one's own power reach, and this is their role in terms of interests.

Of course, in addition to interests, feelings are also an important factor.

But for Yulou, it is unlikely to have a relationship with either Qin Churan or Bai Xiaoyu.

Long-term solitary practice has changed his way of thinking. Wang Xianzhou's incarnation and torch have helped him achieve enlightenment, and his family's dedicated cultivation has been both support and pressure.

Today, Yulou's yearning for enlightenment far exceeds his desire for love between men and women.

"Xiao Yu wants to marry Senior Wang tomorrow."

Such warm and sincere words, if true, they represent pure love and admiration.

Yulou was somewhat moved.

Bai Xiaoyu lowered her head, and Yulou couldn't see her expression, but he understood that the girl was shy.

At this moment, with Bai Xiaoyu's emotional response, Yulou's previous hesitation turned into pity.

He stretched out his hand and gently lifted Xiaoyu's cheek. Looking at that fair face, Yulou was a little dazed.

He wanted to take back his previous thoughts. Some girls may not be the most beautiful, may not be the most suitable, and may not have any emotional foundation, but they can just touch your heart.

He shook his head, cleared his mind, and said.

"I'll give you a magic weapon. Tell me what you want."

Well, I have to buy one for Xiao Qin as well.

Bai Xiaoyu thought about it, and said with some anticipation, but also some timidity.

"I want the Water Jade Sword, Senior Wang, is that ok?"

Yulou looked at the girl's picturesque eyes and eyebrows and smiled gently.

"can!"

He understood that Bai Xiaoyu wanted to know whether he cared about her as the bride, so he chose to be domineering.

Using a water jade magic sword to get a beautiful, reliable and extremely talented Taoist partner is worth it no matter how you look at it.

However, Yulou also knew that this was just an excuse she made up.

When he said yes just now, he actually hadn't had time to calculate it clearly.

"Forget it, I don't need it. Even if I break through to the Qi training stage, I won't be able to use the flying sword well. Senior Wang, I don't want the Water Jade Sword anymore."

Yulou could feel the heat on the girl's face with his hands. In fact, it was not hot at first, but just warm.

For the first time, he understood the meaning of the phrase, "I look at attitude."

It turned out to be the case.

So that’s it.

"It will be useful eventually, Xiaoyu, I don't want to let you down."

Water jade is mainly water-based, but also has some earthy elements, which is just right for Bai Xiaoyu's spiritual roots.

Although it is a bit expensive, it is not that expensive for Wang Yulou, who has full control over the Hewan Fishing Port.

It's nothing more than the income for half a year.

When Bai Xiaoyu becomes the guardian monk in the future, there will be twenty-four spirit fish in the fishing port every day, eight from the Dripping Cave, six from others, and the remaining ten will belong to the two of them.

That's fifteen spirit stones. In less than half a year, you can earn a piece of water jade.

Yulou had worked very hard to gain complete control of the Hewan Fishing Port, and now the efforts have borne fruit.

Moreover, this income is not static.

Two years ago, the number of spirit fish caught in Hewan Fishing Port was only 17 per day. Now it has risen to 24, and it is likely to continue to rise in the future.

Hearing Senior Wang say this, Bai Xiaoyu was deeply moved and his eyes lit up.

When Wang Yulou appeared in her life, he was the great hero riding on a colorful cloud, no, riding on a lowly bird, the spiritual crane, the great hero who saved her.

At that time, she wanted to repay the favor, but she always felt that the so-called repayment was too deliberate.

Now that she can marry Yulou, how could she refuse?

"Senior Wang, if you are willing to give me the Water Jade Sword, Xiaoyu will be satisfied. You don't have to really give it to me, it's too expensive."

Feeling the beating and trembling heart of the girl in his arms, Yulou was a little at a loss for a moment.

The good thing about Qin Churan is that he knows his limits, and the good thing about Bai Xiaoyu is that he doesn't care about limits.

People are very different from each other, but Yulou, who always likes to be tactful, was actually deeply moved by Bai Xiaoyu's unrestrained behavior.

"Don't think too much. I am the son of the Anbei Wang family. Our family doesn't lack a piece of water jade, and I don't lack that piece of water jade either, Xiaoyu."

"What if it explodes?"

"Then refine another one."

"What if it explodes again?"

"Hahaha, I'm a very powerful weapon refiner, don't worry, it will explode once at most!"

Actually, Yulou was a little unsure. He thought that he could find Fan Zhugao or Wu Faxian and ask them to contact a weapon refiner who was proficient in the cleansing and water refining methods.

Bai Xiaoyu raised his head which was buried on Yulou's shoulder, looked at Yulou, and said in a firm tone.

"Senior Wang, Xiaoyu believes in you!"

Wang Yulou realized that he couldn't go on like this, and his determination to become a Taoist didn't seem to be that firm anymore.

That's right. After all, he has only been practicing for more than ten years. He is not an old monster and his body is still young. It would be strange if he didn't have any thoughts.

"Okay, go back and get measured first. I'll have someone make you a beautiful vestment later. You'll need it when the time comes."

"Ah? It's too expensive, I..." Bai Xiaoyu wanted to refuse.

Not only the Water Jade Sword, but also the free robes. This kind of good thing is too extravagant.

"No need to say anything, I've made up my mind!"

Wang Yulou waved his hand and looked serious, and Bai Xiaoyu didn't dare to continue speaking.

After seeing Xiaoyu off, Yulou let out a long sigh.

What are these things?

When Xian Zhou Laozu talked to him about taking a concubine first and helping Xiaoyu break through the Qi training, he looked like he was determined to practice Taoism.

As a result, the little fish only needed three or two hits to make him unable to resist.

Chu Ran is still better. Of course, I’m not saying Xiao Yu is not good, but these two girls are too different.

Xiaoyu always has a sharp truth, perhaps it is this sharp truth that protects her from the bullying of Cui's father and son.

But it was this sharp truth that hurt Yulou a little.

Practicing Buddhism is very tiring.

Breaking free from the cage is a long, difficult and tiring journey.

At this moment, Yulou seemed to understand what Patriarch Xianzhou meant.

Yes, it’s nice to have someone to keep you company.

Both Chu Ran and Xiaoyu were girls who treated him very well.

What does it matter whether it is true or not, or how true it is?
It was a few days later when Zhang Xuewu met Wang Yulou.

He reports his work normally, once every ten days.

Yulou is now like Lingxiao Shangqingtong Lei Yuanyang Miaofeiyuan Zhenjun. Xiao Qin is his Chen Hong and Lao Zhang is his Yan Song - there is no clean stream who does not work but debates to seize power.

He only needs to practice, and let Qin Churan take care of all the small things, and let Lao Zhang coordinate the big things. He doesn't have to worry about anything at all.

".The total population is 12,900. In the past ten days, there have been 78 new immigrants, all of whom are young and strong. 19 of them have the potential to become warriors.

Regarding the arrangements for these new villagers, I followed the instructions of Daoist Fellow Yulou and implemented a mentoring model, with each household having a corresponding warrior to provide assistance.

Among them, those with potential as warriors were arranged to be directly guided by warriors in the late stage of the acquired realm.

At first they thought it was a scam, but later they realized it was your idea, Fellow Daoist Yulou, so they were no longer afraid, and naturally their integration into the Hewan Fishing Port became faster. "

Wang Yulou smiled and nodded, sighing.

"With more than 200 people every month, the growth rate is much faster, and the reputation of Hewan Fishing Port has spread.

However, next you need to start counting the places where the new people who came in the past two years came from.

Especially, those warriors who occasionally appear among them."

Zhang Xuewu naturally understood what Yulou meant. He smiled knowingly and answered attentively.

"Don't worry, let alone warriors, even those with potential as warriors, I have arranged different sources for them.

Even if other guarding monks came to their door, they would have nothing to say.

Hewan Fishing Port can attract people from nearby to settle here, which is the strength of Hewan Fishing Port!

They don't run the business properly, and they don't allow us, of course, mainly you, to run the business properly, don't you?"

Yulou nodded at Lao Zhang and sighed.

"You, you, come on, practice hard and break through to the sixth level of Qi training as soon as possible."

After taking the spiritual powder thrown by Yulou, Zhang Xuewu immediately smiled.

When Wang Yulou was taking elixirs, he would take the spiritual powder that Wang Yulou didn't want. In fact, he felt quite satisfied.

Lao Cui, you died well.

The only regret between you and me is that you didn't see how I acted like a dog for Fellow Daoist Yulou.
