Chapter 135: Step up preparations

Although Zuo Hou's words were not loud, they struck Zuo Feng's heart resoundingly. Looking at Zuo Hou with joy on his face, Zuo Feng was truly happy for his good friend.

After he understood the meaning of "Tao", he asked Uncle Tian about it on the way back. Uncle Tian was shocked for a while by his understanding that Zuo Feng could break through this "Tao" at such a young age. Regarding this matter, Uncle Tian explained everything in detail.

After listening to Uncle Tian's explanation, Zuo Feng suddenly realized that in less than an hour, he had actually established his own "Tao" on the path of cultivation. But Zuo Feng never mentioned the "devil disturbing heart" he experienced. If Uncle Tian knew that Zuo Feng had just experienced that kind of experience, I'm afraid his jaw would drop in shock.

At this time, Zuo Feng did not want to interfere with Zuo Hou's establishment of his own way. He also asked tentatively. But he didn't expect Zuo Hou to be more determined than himself in this regard. Smiling and nodding, Zuo Feng said.

"This sword was obtained by me during the trial, and it's the only one. What I said just now was just to tease you. Seeing that you are concentrating on practicing the art of swords and progressing very quickly, I should treat it as a reward for you. It took a while to work hard.”

As Zuo Feng spoke, he looked at Zuo Qing and Zuo Jun behind Zuo Hou. He could not directly point out that Zuo Hou's firm cultivation path was the right path. But he switched to this method of reward, leaving some deep impressions on the other two people. Regardless of whether two people can eventually embark on their own "path", it all depends on personal opportunities and choices.

After what Uncle Tian said, Zuo Feng finally understood. Why are so many talented warriors stuck in the realm of body refining for life and never being able to break through to the realm of qi refining? Sometimes going against the "Tao" can lead to rapid progress in a short period of time, but the most popular one cannot break through the barrier between body refining and qi refining.

And some people spent a lot of time to move from body strengthening to bone refining stage. Or they may have worked hard to move from bone refining to tendon tempering, but when such people face the barrier of the Qi refining period, they can finally cross that barrier most safely.

Although he didn't say too much, Zuo Feng also knew not to reveal too much, otherwise it would only disrupt the cultivation of these people. Zuo Feng then explained to the three people that he could not relax for a moment against the forces lurking around him. At the same time, he told them that after a period of time, they would be provided with a large amount of "Forging Powder".

Zuo Hou, who was holding the short sword a little absent-mindedly, didn't come back to his senses until he heard the name "Forging Body Powder". Like Zuo Qing and Zuo Jun, they stared at Zuo Feng with excitement. They had all experienced the magical effects of this "body-building powder" recently.

From the initial peak of the fourth level in the physical strengthening period, Zuo Hou is now likely to break through the sixth level in the physical strengthening period and enter the seventh level at any time. Behind him, Zuo Qing and Zuo Jun have also made rapid progress. They have been promoted successively in less than half a year, and are now close to the peak of the fifth level of physical strength.

Although the progress of these people is much slower than that of Zuo Feng, Zuo Feng has a beast soul and a series of adventures after all. Moreover, Zuo Feng's cultivation was acquired through many close calls.

This time Zuo Feng obtained a large amount of "cloud grass" in the spiral tower, and other auxiliary medicinal materials were not very valuable. Zuo Feng believed that he could produce a large amount of "Body Training Powder" in a few days, which would be very useful in improving the cultivation of these young people.

Afterwards, a few people chatted about some innocuous things, and then Zuo Hou and the other three got up and left. The three of them all expressed great expectations for the large amount of "body training powder" that Zuo Feng said, but Zuo Hou looked funny as he held the dagger tightly. Zuo Feng guessed that this guy would probably sleep with this knife in his arms tonight.

After separating from a few people, Zuo Feng found the fifth elder and told him the other auxiliary medicinal materials that were missing to make the "Forging Body Powder", and also wrote down the names of several mineral materials. After preparing all these, Zuo Feng casually took out more than five hundred gold coins from his arms and handed them to the fifth elder.

The fifth elder opened the money bag and looked at it doubtfully, then pushed the money bag back with a smile. At the same time, he said: "This entire shop belongs to you. This shop has also made some progress recently. I will get these medicinal materials and materials for you."

Zuo Feng smiled and shook his head and said: "I am also a member of Zuojia Village, so that is what I should do. And since this shop is handed over to the village, it does not belong to me alone, but to the whole village. . It’s better not to use the money on your books casually, as this will send a bad signal to other people in the village, and it will also have a very bad impact on your future management of the store.”

Although Zuo Feng was not good at managing shops, he still understood some of this principle. The fifth elder is still managing the shop the same way he manages the people in the village. As time goes by, it will become more and more difficult to manage the people in the village. He has also discovered something recently, but he has not told some people deeply out of love.

At this time, Zuo Feng's words hit the nail on the head, which made the fifth elder, who had just taken over the power, feel ashamed. He nodded and accepted Zuo Feng's bag of gold coins. Zuo Feng saw the embarrassment of the fifth elder, smiled slightly, and said: "This shop is the source of the village's livelihood. Naturally, in terms of management, we still need to listen more to the advice of the shopkeeper."

"Moreover, we cannot be satisfied with just being self-sufficient. Now that we have arrived in Yancheng, our Zuojia Village will naturally occupy a place here. Only when we become stronger will we not be afraid of any forces eyeing us."

Zuo Feng paused and continued, until the Fifth Elder's face turned slightly red and he was a little excited, then Zuo Feng smiled and turned away. The Fifth Elder was also an understanding person. After saying so much, I believe he can understand what I mean. It was from this Zuoyun Trading House that a force belonging to Zuojia Village was established in Yancheng bit by bit.

Zuo Feng walked to the backyard. It was already late at night, and Yancheng was also under curfew. Zuo Feng was not worried at all, because the backyard of the shop could lead directly to the house where he lived.

Returning to his simple room, Zuo Feng lay on the stone bed specially prepared for him before. He couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart. He had obviously gotten rid of the shackles of the "prison lock", but he put it on again in a moment of excitement.

Feeling the hardness and discomfort under his body, Zuo Feng sighed slightly, but he couldn't help thinking of what Zuo Hou had said before. What Zuo Hou introduced seemed a lot, but too much was just what they observed on the surface. In terms of intelligence gathering, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't compare with forces like the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhang Yu hadn't made any unusual moves recently, and An Xiong's ambiguous attitude towards Zhang Yu and the gray-clothed man gave Zuo Feng a headache. There must be some hidden secrets that he didn't know about, but he couldn't find out the hidden secrets. After tossing and turning for a long time, Zuo Feng fell asleep in a daze until the sky was slightly bright.

After sleeping for more than two hours, Zuo Feng suddenly opened his eyes. These two hours were more like sleeping with eyes closed. The situation in Yancheng is so strange now that Zuo Feng feels like there is a sharp blade hanging over his head. Even if he just fell asleep in a daze, he still has nightmares.

But Zuo Feng, who was awakened by a nightmare, couldn't remember what he had dreamed before. He rubbed his painful forehead, shook his head, and got out of bed. Before he finished washing, the fifth elder came to the door.

The five elders were really efficient. They actually prepared all the herbs and materials that Zuo Feng mentioned yesterday early in the morning. In fact, most of these herbs and materials were available in their own trading houses, and some other materials were not rare, so they were ready in less than half an hour.

After sending the five elders away, Zuo Feng looked at the herbs and ore materials on the ground, frowned and thought for a moment. Suddenly, his mind turned, and he collected those ore materials, but kept all the herbs. Then he waved his palm gently, and a large pile of tiny green grass leaves appeared on the ground. They were the large amount of "cloud grass" that Zuo Feng obtained in the spiral tower trial.

Then Zuo Feng took out the medicine furnace and a small amount of low-grade flame crystal from the nano crystal. Zuo Feng, who had experience in refining this "body-building powder" once, started to work easily. The medicine furnace was preheated soon, and the herbs were put into the medicine house one by one.

Time passed slowly. After the five elders left, the house where Zuo Feng was located entered a closed state again. Only occasionally, a strong medicinal fragrance spread out, making people passing by on the street stop and watch for a while.

On the morning of the third day, Zuo Feng dragged his tired body out of the house, but did not go to the street but came to the spacious courtyard behind the trading house. At this time, Zuo Hou and several young men were competing in the martial arts field. Those who did not go out to gather intelligence would gather here.

Taking the small package handed over by Zuo Feng, Zuo Hou felt the slightly heavy weight and asked in disbelief: "Are these all 'Body Strengthening Powder'?"

Zuo Feng's face was full of fatigue. He finally squeezed out a smile and nodded: "The medicine in here is enough for you to use for two or three months. People like you who have reached the sixth level of strong body can double the medicine strength every day."

After a pause, Zuo Feng continued: "If there is any surplus, you can send some to the hunting group. Although the effect is not obvious for warriors who have reached the bone refining stage, you should still give them some. As for the young group... it's better not to let them know about this 'Body Strengthening Powder' for the time being."

After listening, Zuo Hou nodded heavily. He wanted to say something else, but saw Zuo Feng dragging his tired body and turning back to his house.

Zuo Feng was exhausted at this time, but he didn't want to rest, but even if he wanted to rest well, he couldn't do it. Because ever since he returned to Yancheng this time, he had nightmares every time he slept. Every time he woke up, he couldn't remember the content of his dreams, and every time he could only sleep for an hour or so before he could no longer fall asleep.
