Chu Yingshi, as the head of the Chu family, the organizer and host of this competition, is also a leading figure in the weapon refining industry.

With his arrival, the originally chaotic atmosphere quickly returned to normal.

Xia Yuke smoothed her messy hair and said sullenly:

"They are so scary. When they see me, they are like eagles seeing a rabbit. They are afraid that if they are a little slow, I will be snatched away by others."

Lu Zhiqiu clutched the chicken leg and laughed:

"Indeed, if Patriarch Chu hadn't arrived in time, I wouldn't have been able to eat this plate of chicken legs."

Xia Yuke crossed her arms and looked at Lu Zhiqiu, feeling somewhat proud:

"Look, I told you I'm very good at refining weapons."

"I took action, and the little champion was defeated obediently."

She seemed to feel a little embarrassed again. She pinched the edge of her clothes for a long time before adding:

"Of course, you provided me with the foundation-building magic tools for special training, which helped me take a solid step forward, so you also deserve credit."

Lu Zhiqiu rolled his eyes at her, grabbed the chicken leg and stuffed it into her mouth:

"Yes, yes, Miss Xia, please eat quickly. You've worked hard refining weapons all day."

"I have some important business to discuss with the Chu family later."

Xia Yuke asked curiously:

"Aren't we here to participate in the weapon refining competition? What else is going on?"

Lu Zhiqiu said seriously:

"I'm afraid you need to be mentally prepared for what's coming next."

……

The dinner is over.

Lu Zhiqiu took Xia Yuke and went to find Chu Yingshi.

Chu Yingshi led the two to his study.

Four foundation-building elders, including Chu Lie, were also here, having obviously been waiting for a long time.

But there is no Chu Xuannan.

Strangely enough, after the competition, Chu Xuannan congratulated Xia Yuke and then hurriedly left the Chu family.

We didn't even have the celebration dinner together in the evening.

Close the door.

Chu Yingshi seemed to see what the two girls were thinking, waved his hands and said with a smile:

"Xiao Nan's whereabouts have always been mysterious. She didn't even tell me, her father. However, she has just established her foundation and doesn't know about the past between my eight great families and the Huatian Sect. It's better for her not to be here tonight."

"I'll find a suitable opportunity in the future and tell her slowly."

"Let's get down to business first."

Tidy up your collar.

Chu Yingshi looked at Lu Zhiqiu with a solemn expression and saluted solemnly:

"Miss Lu, thank you for what happened during the day!"

"Since you came here with Xiao Yuke from the Xia family, I don't need to explain the origins and importance of the Black Blood Pool."

"If it weren't for you today, my Chu family would be in great trouble!"

"There's even the possibility that the Huatian Sect immortal could follow the clues and destroy our Lu, Chu, Feng, and Sun families, along with the Black Blood Pool secret technique. Who knows how much more blood the entire Xilan Realm would shed every year!"

Joining Chu Yingshi in the ceremony of salute were the four foundation-building elders behind him.

among them.

Chu Lie's expression was the most complicated.

Three days ago, he was still speaking coldly to Lu Zhiqiu and Xia Yuke.

But today, Xia Yuke has surpassed his level in refining a foundation-building magic weapon, and he is a weapon-refining genius that appears once in a thousand years.

Not to mention Lu Zhiqiu, all the hundreds of people in the Chu family were rescued by Lu Zhiqiu today.

Facing these two people.

He suddenly felt how ridiculous his previous squeeze was.

The Long River of Tears and the Two Waves: Chapter 18: The Chu Family Joins

In the study.

After paying respects with everyone else, Chu Lie apologized to Lu Zhiqiu and Xia Yuke individually, bowed deeply, and said solemnly:

"I was too narrow-minded in what happened before."

"After this life-or-death experience, I realized that all the empty fame I fought for before was really useless."

"I will devote my limited time to the infinite cause of refining instruments, hoping to leave behind a few more fine instruments for the world of immortal cultivation, so that my life will not be in vain."

Lu Zhiqiu exclaimed in his heart, "What a guy!"

Others feel great fear between life and death, but you have found great enlightenment between life and death.

It was like he became a different person all of a sudden.

Xia Yuke, who was standing by, was a little confused when she saw this.

What is the Black Blood Pool?

The immortal from the Huatian Sect descended during the day? She didn't see it at all.

Lu Zhiqiu thought for a while, then briefly told Xia Yuke the whole story that Xia Mingtian had told her that day.

Anyway, Xia Yuke will know sooner or later.

Moreover, with her talent in refining weapons, she would be of great help in overthrowing the Huatian Sect.

After hearing this, Xia Yuke felt her head swelling and she staggered a few steps.

It turns out that the Xilan world has always been such a cruel world.

It turns out that there is someone who can decide life and death with a single word, sever the arms of a hundred people, and erase the memories of a thousand people.

It turns out that the millions of people who die accidentally every year are sacrifices offered by the Huatian Sect in order to demand blood and energy from the higher-ups.

She covered her head, squatted on the ground and trembled slightly, completely unable to react.

Even opened the door and ran out.

Lu Zhiqiu sighed and said:

"I know these things are cruel, but as the future successor of the Xia family, you must know this."

After saying this, she let Xia Yuke go.

She understands.

What Xia Yuke needed most at this moment was to be alone.

Instead of another person who keeps nagging in her ear and telling her what to do.

Lu Zhiqiu took a deep breath, turned around, looked at the five foundation-building members of the Chu family in front of him, and smiled:

"Before we get down to business, I have a question for you."

She pointed at the old man with a gray beard who had never been seen before and asked:

"This senior has been guarding the Black Blood Pool before, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, even without my intervention this time, Senior would still be able to cover up the Black Blood Pool. It's just that the cost would be enormous."

The reason why Lu Zhiqiu made the inference was very simple.

She has the Book of Omens.

She had just checked the people in front of her, including Chu Xuannan.

None of them are short-lived.

In other words, even without her, the arrival of the golden elixir today can be successfully resolved.

She had sensed this strange foundation-building technique before by the Black Blood Pool.

In this case, it is hard not to suspect that there is some connection between the two.

Chu Yingshi exchanged a glance with the Foundation Establishment Elder, and without hiding anything, he said to Lu Zhiqiu generously:

"My friend, your guess is correct."

"This Elder Chu Hun was injured many years ago and his future was bleak, so he took the initiative to apply to be in charge of the Black Blood Pool."

"He specializes in the art of concealing his breath and concealing his power. If he sacrifices his life for a brief burst of power, the concealing technique he sets up may not be seen through by a careless Jindan Zhenren."

Lu Zhiqiu thought to himself that it was indeed so.

With his doubts resolved, Lu Zhiqiu straightened his clothes and said calmly:

"Well, I won't keep you in suspense."

"I would like to invite the Chu family to join the [Hengliu League] and join us in resisting the Huatian Sect."

There was a clang.

The teacup in Chu Yingshi's hand fell to the ground.

Even the people in the Chu family had some vague guesses about Lu Zhiqiu's purpose.

But I could not imagine it.

This person actually came to lead them to rebel!

Lu Zhiqiu stepped forward and said seriously:

"Seniors, what happened today has fully demonstrated the tyranny of the Huatian Sect."

"In fact, the word 'domineering' isn't enough to describe them. After all, no matter how domineering they are, it's still a form of contempt between people."

"But Huatian Sect doesn't treat us as human beings at all. They treat us like livestock. They kill two of us when they are hungry, two when they need meat, and two when they are in a bad mood."

Everyone in the Chu family was silent.

After a while, Chu Yingshi asked in a hoarse voice:

"Speaking of which, how did Young Master Lu hide this from the Huatian Sect's Golden Core?"

"It was clear that Changxu Mountain was indeed penetrated at that time, and you could even see the black blood pool running inside."

Lu Zhiqiu knew that the other party was considering whether he would use the Dream Sword Technique with a thought.

All of a sudden.

The bookshelves, tables and chairs in the study disappeared, replaced by towering mountain peaks and a hazy sea of ​​clouds.

Everyone could feel the mountain breeze, which was faintly scented with the fragrance of pine wood.

"This... is an illusion?"

Chu Yingshi said in shock.

Lu Zhiqiu nodded and said with a smile:

"Just like this Elder Chu Hun."

"My Fanmeng Sword Technique can also create illusions and confuse others."

"We were lucky to get away with it during the day. It was all thanks to the fact that the Huatian Sect's Golden Core was too arrogant and conceited, and only used his spiritual sense to conduct a quick inspection."

"If he takes another look, he'll see through my illusion."
