Chapter 227 A Larger Cave

"But when he broke through, the Zhou family senior came here to cover up the signs of the breakthrough, so no one knew about it. Senior Xie Zhouhe also took the opportunity to hide, and no one knew about his breakthrough."

Zhou Daocheng's face also showed joy. This is definitely the best news he has heard recently.

A foundation-building expert, this is the real foundation of a force, and it really makes Wugu a big force!

However, Zhou Daocheng still has some worries in his heart. After all, he doesn't know much about Xie Zhouhe.

On the one hand, there is not much friendship between the two. It just provides some convenience and help before the breakthrough.

Of course, for most people, these helps are enough to make people grateful.

After all, this is a foundation-building expert. It is not an easy thing to make him bow down.

On the other hand, Zhou Daocheng has no way to restrict Xie Zhouhe. If he doesn't want to stay, Zhou Daocheng actually has no way.

Therefore, after Zhou Daocheng pondered for a moment, he asked Wei Hanshan a question: "Old Wei, tell me the truth, what is Xie Zhouhe's attitude after his breakthrough?"

Wei Hanshan was old and wise. After hearing the words, he thought for a few seconds and said: "Senior, Senior Xie asked me to bring you a message for him."

"What is it?"

"In the future, he wants a bigger cave in Wugu Market!"

After hearing this, Zhou Daocheng smiled and understood Xie Zhouhe's choice.

This person is not a heartless person. Even if he breaks through to the foundation-building stage, he has no intention of leaving, but is willing to stay in Wugu.

This is exciting good news for both Zhou Daocheng and the entire Wugu.

With two foundation-building cultivators stationed in Wugu, the safety will inevitably be greatly improved. In the future, whether hunting monsters or guarding Wugu, it will be much easier.

What's more, Zhou Daocheng has now refined the "Spirit Puppet Array Plate" and also has the second-level strength, which means three foundation-building masters.

This speed of strength improvement is simply unimaginable.

After Zhou Daocheng understood Xie Zhouhe's intention, he did not say much, but went with Wei Hanshan to meet him.

Xie Zhouhe's breakthrough was not publicized in Wugu Market, and even from the breakthrough to now, Xie Zhouhe had never appeared in front of everyone.

Therefore, most people thought he was still in seclusion, and did not know that he had succeeded and was a foundation-building expert hidden in the dark!

When Zhou Daocheng came to this hidden cave, Xie Zhouhe was sitting at the stone table, drinking tea calmly.

Seeing Zhou Daocheng coming, he immediately stood up and saluted, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and said respectfully:

"Xie Zhouhe meets the Lord of Wugu, thank you for your help, otherwise Xie would probably not be able to successfully break through the foundation-building!"

Zhou Daocheng smiled and waved his hand: "Xie Daoyou, there is no need to be polite, what I do is secondary, and the real decision whether you can break through is still your own accumulation and ability!"

This is not modesty. Even if Zhou Daocheng gives a lot of help, it can only make the success rate reach about 20% at most.

1

5% breakthrough probability, the final success was largely due to Xie Zhouhe's own reasons, he just played a supporting role.

However, Xie Zhouhe looked solemn and said seriously: "If it is an ordinary cultivator, after taking the Condensing Spirit Pill, the probability of breakthrough should be only 10%. Xie has such a high success rate, and I really have to thank the senior!"

Zhou Daocheng smiled. Although Xie Zhouhe has successfully broken through the foundation, he still calls him a senior. It seems that he is pure in heart and is a person worth making friends with.

"Since you have joined Wugu, these are all trivial matters. What are your plans for the future? I heard... you want a bigger cave?"

Xie Zhouhe smiled and said: "Since the ninth level of Qi Refining can sign an agreement with Wugu, I wonder if I, a foundation-building strongman, can also sign one?"

Zhou Daocheng nodded and said: "Okay, I will build a cave specifically for fellow Daoist Xie, and add 3 acres of spiritual fields!"

He did not intend to let Xie Zhouhe continue to live in the second valley. Although the environment here is good, it is actually only average for foundation-building cultivators.

Moreover, since Xie Zhouhe's breakthrough was hidden, Zhou Daocheng did not want it to be exposed too early. Having such a trump card hidden in his hand would bring him all kinds of benefits without any harm.

So after the two sides had a good talk, Zhou Daocheng immediately took action and began to help Xie Zhouhe build a cave.

The method used was similar to the "Spiritual Medicine Garden" and "Spiritual Beast Garden". In the outer mountains, a small valley was created to prepare a cave for Xie Zhouhe.

The internal terrain was flat and wide, which could be used to cultivate spiritual fields, or raise spiritual birds, or for other purposes, all of which could be freely arranged.

As for the location, after some discussion, the two finally chose the northeast direction of the Wugufang City, just to be stationed in the east, and cooperate with Zhou Daobai to expel the second-level monsters there.

A quarter of an hour later.

When Xie Zhouhe saw a valley shrouded in mist, his eyes lit up. The environment here was completely beyond his imagination.

The ground was fresh soil that had been turned over. Under the irrigation of the mist, a layer of wet dew condensed, which looked full of vitality.

Moreover, the valley is surrounded by mountains, which looks very safe. The area is not small, about 4 to 5 acres, which is more than enough for daily use.

"Xie Daoyou, have you planned to plant any spiritual plants?" Zhou Daocheng asked with a smile.

Xie Zhouhe waved his hand and said, "I have been wandering around all my life. Now I have my own territory. I don't want to bother too much. I'll just plant some spiritual grains in peace."

"The environment here is very good. I will live here in the future. If you need anything, just come to me!"

"Okay, there are often second-level monsters invading from the east recently. Brother Zhou Daobai of the Zhou family has been busy with this matter. If you have time, Brother Xie can help out!"

"No problem, it's a small matter."

"..."

The two sides chatted briefly for a few words, and Zhou Daocheng took the initiative to withdraw.

In addition to Xie Zhouhe's good news, there are some other things he needs to deal with.

When they were besieging the second-level monsters, two ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators were attacked by the mental attack of the black-eyed ghost-scale snake and were seriously injured.

Previously, it was thought that they were at most mentally damaged and it would be difficult for them to break through to the foundation-building stage in the future.

However, it was later discovered that their injuries were greater than expected.

When Zhou Daocheng arrived, he found Yuan Zhong and another cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining lying on the stone bed in the cave, looking listless.

"How could this happen? Is there no way to treat it?" Zhou Daocheng did not ask.

Wei Hanshan shook his head and said, "Things are a bit troublesome. Although their lives are not in danger, their strength has directly regressed to the eighth level of Qi Refining, and it is very likely that... it will be difficult to recover in the future."
