Chapter 856 Renting a treasure land

"It turns out that Senior Zhou is here, and Youfu was rude."

After Chu Youfu saw Zhou Yiqiao, her pretty face changed slightly, and she immediately gathered her skirt and saluted, her attitude was extremely respectful.

"Miss Chu, you're welcome. This time Zhou caused Brother Li Gui to lose face in the Yin Yang Sect. Brother Li Gui is willing to see me, which has already given Zhou a huge face. Zhou is grateful."

Zhou Yiqiao returned the gift with his hand, then looked at the cave behind Chu Youfu and smiled.

"I don't know if Brother Li Gui is inside, but I would like to ask Miss Chu to report it on my behalf."

When Chu Youfu heard this, her face turned red and she said a little nervously.

"Master...he is practicing in seclusion and cannot come out to meet guests. Please don't blame me, Senior Zhou."

Zhou Yiqiao was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood.

Fortunately, Li Gui is still in the state of dual cultivation and cannot be disturbed.

But Zhou Yiqiao didn't care. After all, he was the one who broke the agreement first, and he had to show some sincerity now.

Since Li Gui can't come out now, he can just wait here for the other party to come out.

"In that case, Zhou will wait here for Brother Li Gui to come out of seclusion."

After Zhou Yiqiao finished speaking, he found a clean place to sit cross-legged and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Seeing this, Chu Youfu didn't say anything more, turned around and returned to the cave.

The low humming in the cave became wild again, but Zhou Yiqiao was as motionless as an old monk in trance.

However, this was a bitter experience for True Monarch Xuebeard, who had lost all his cultivation. Hearing the overwhelming sounds coming from the cave, his face turned red with embarrassment, but he did not dare to make any move for fear of disturbing Zhou Yiqiao who was practicing beside him. .

Time passed little by little, and it was two hours in the blink of an eye.

The low humming sound in the cave finally fell silent completely.

Zhou Yiqiao opened his eyes, his eyes shining like lightning.

He stood up slowly, patted the dust on his body, then looked in the direction of the cave and smiled slightly.

"Brother Li Gui, since you have come out of seclusion, please come out."

Zhou Yiqiao's voice was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted into the cave.

After a while, the cave's restrictions opened on their own, and a figure walked out.

It was Li Gui.

At this time, Li Gui's face was rosy and his aura was calm. He had obviously benefited a lot from the dual cultivation.

After he saw Zhou Yiqiao, he also smiled slightly and cupped his hands.

"Brother Zhou, I'm sorry for waiting for so long."

"It doesn't matter. Cultivation matters are very important, so Zhou should wait a little longer."

Zhou Yiqiao waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

Li Gui laughed and greeted the two of them to approach the pavilion.

The three of them sat around the table. Chu Youfu brought tea, water, melons and fruits to the three of them, and then took the initiative to retreat with a few male and female disciples in thin clothes.

"I haven't apologized to Brother Li Gui yet. Zhou miscalculated the time of retreat and came several months late. I'm afraid Brother Li Gui has lost a lot of face in the sect."

Zhou Yiqiao picked up the teacup, bowed slightly to Li Gui, and said apologetically.

Li Gui also raised his glass in return and smiled.

"Brother Zhou is serious. As you said, the matter of cultivation is of great importance. Li is not so petty."

"The gossips within the sect are just passing thoughts, and Li doesn't take them to heart."

"Brother Zhou suddenly visited my humble home today. Could it be that he came specifically to apologize to me?"

"Haha, Brother Li Gui is joking. I came here this time because I want Brother Li to help me borrow a precious land from your sect to use as a retreat."

Zhou Yiqiao drank the tea and then went straight to the topic.

"oh!?"

Li Gui was startled when he heard this and said slightly surprised.

"Brother Zhou, as a direct disciple of Taoist White Bones, still has to come all the way to our Yin Yang Sect to obtain the retreat place?"

Li Gui obviously couldn't figure this out. As a giant of the Demonic Way, Taoist White Bones must have extremely rich resources in the sect. As his direct disciple, Zhou Yiqiao didn't have any kind of retreat place he wanted, so why bother to come to their Yin Yang Sect to borrow it? .

Zhou Yiqiao smiled bitterly and recounted how he was promoted to a core disciple and suffered harassment from fellow disciples and sect elders.

"Li understands that Brother Zhou originally wanted to find a quiet place to retreat."

Li Gui nodded, with a look of surprise on his face.

He pondered for a moment and then said.

"It's not impossible to retreat on land, but the core areas of our Yin Yang Sect are restricted, and non-disciples of our sect cannot enter."

"But outside our Yin Yang Sect, there is a place called 'Qingyou Valley', which is a place used by the sect to train outer sect disciples."

"The Qingyou Valley is full of spiritual energy, and it is located in a remote place. It is rarely disturbed by people, so it is a good place for retreat."

"If Brother Zhou doesn't dislike it, Li can use his sect's contribution to lend the Qingyou Valley to Brother Zhou."

Zhou Yiqiao was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly cupped his hands.

"In this case, it will cost Brother Li money."

"Brother Zhou is so polite. You were able to save the lives of Li and several of his disciples. Li has not repaid this kindness. Now that Brother Zhou has something to ask for, Li will naturally try his best to help."

Li Gui waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"Then it's settled, Li will handle this matter for Brother Zhou right now."

After Li Gui finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao quickly stood up and stopped the other party.

When he took action, he just followed the trend, and it did not have much causality with Li Gui.

If Li Gui is allowed to help him so enthusiastically now, Zhou Yiqiao will owe Li Gui a lot of favors after the incident is completed.

"Brother Li, wait a moment. It sounds like Zhou is asking for something from you. How can I let you spend money?"

"The rental fee for Qingyou Valley should be paid by Zhou."

Li Gui was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed loudly.

"Brother Zhou, what you said is wrong. You saved our lives. This kind of kindness cannot be measured by just some spiritual stones."

"Besides, the rental fee in Qingyou Valley is not high, and Li can still afford it."

Seeing the other party's persistence, Zhou Yiqiao no longer persisted.

Since it was impossible to balance the cause and effect between the two at the moment, he would give Li Gui some spiritual objects afterwards, which would also achieve the same effect.

"Thank you so much, Brother Li. Zhou has remembered this friendship."

"Brother Zhou said something serious. It's not worth mentioning trivial matters."

Li Gui waved his hand, then turned around and left the cave.

Not long after, Li Gui returned with a token.

"Brother Zhou, this is the rental token of Qingyou Valley. You should keep it."

Li Gui handed the jade slip to Zhou Yiqiao and said with a smile.

Zhou Yiqiao took the jade slip and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, and found that it indeed contained detailed information about Qingyou Valley and the method of entering it.

"Thank you, Brother Li."

Zhou Yiqiao cupped his hands and thanked him. After putting away the jade slips, he greeted Li Gui and left eagerly.
