Chapter 153: The State of Nourishing Qi Is Complete!

Zhou Dingwen's heart skipped a beat.

He never thought that the Zhou family in Yongzhou, thousands of miles away, knew about Zhou Yu's death.

Is there someone around me who is a secret agent of the Zhou family?

Zhou Dingwen suddenly felt cold all over his body. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Where did the third young master hear about this?"

"Then this is what happened?" Zhou Xintong's tone was neither salty nor light. He stood up and stared at Zhou Dingwen and said, with a vague aura exuding from his body.

As a member of the Changfang lineage, he has outstanding talents and has been extremely favored since he was a child. No one would ever disobey him.

At this time, I saw that Zhou Dingwen actually wanted to resist, and I felt dissatisfied for a while.

I thought about beating him to death with one hand, and then personally disposing of the Zhou family's property and taking it back.

In fact, according to the family's practice, the branches of the Zhou family that have branched out have nothing to do with their original Zhou family.

A side branch like Zhou Dingwen, even if he is the grandfather's son or his elder, he would not even look at him squarely, let alone say nice words here for a long time.

But thinking of his great master's repeated instructions, he still endured it.

Likewise, Zhou Dingming is obviously the owner of the Zhou family in Taiping County. Not only is he a powerful being, he is also a great god who cannot be offended.

I'm used to being domineering, but in front of my parents' house, I seem to have no status, and I look like a dwarf everywhere.

He was also very aggrieved.

Both of them looked at each other very differently.

After a long time, Zhou Dingwen gritted his teeth and said, "That's what happened."

Zhou Xintong said with a bit of dissatisfaction on his face: "Have you found out who did it? Is it related to Huang Tianjiao?"

"It's all a family scandal that shouldn't be made public."

"Huh?" Zhou Xintong said with a serious face: "I think Master Jiu had better think it through before answering."

Zhou Xintong stood tall and straight in front of Zhou Dingwen. The cold aura emanating from his body was like an insurmountable mountain, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.

His words were light but heavy, and every word had a ring to it.

Zhou Dingwen stood a few steps away, and his face suddenly became uncertain.

He felt unprecedented pressure, as if he was tightly bound by an invisible momentum.

Sweat quietly seeped out from Zhou Dingwen's forehead, slid across his cheeks, and dripped onto the bluestone, making a slight sound.

He took a deep breath and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Huang Tianjiao."

"That's good. I remember that my cousin was investigating this matter from beginning to end. Let my cousin come over."

Zhou Dingwen only felt horrified and startled.

The Yongzhou family actually knew who was investigating, how did they know?

Could it be that... these years... around...

Zhou Dingwen suddenly felt as if his heart was clenched tightly by someone's hands and then released again.

In an instant, he didn't even have the courage to face the eldest son, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

Soon Zhou Jishan was called up by his servants.

Zhou Xintong didn't have much time to chat with his uncle.

He slowly took a step forward, and the distance between the two parties was instantly shortened. The intimidating momentum almost suffocated Zhou Jishan.

"I would like to ask who was responsible for my cousin being bombed to death, and is it related to the Huangtian Sect?"

Zhou Jishan said hurriedly: "It has been confirmed that it has nothing to do with Huang Tianjiao, but... it is... the seven rooms in the family are secretly involved..."

Zhou Xintong suddenly said: "Then the person who sent my cousin back is also from the seventh room?"

Zhou Jishan was suddenly shocked. How did they know about this?

"I……"

"Did you not check it clearly? Then check it carefully. This matter is big or small. You must give me an explanation in three days."

Zhou Jishan glanced at his withered father, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

"Hurry up and clean up a yard for me. I drove all the way here. I'm tired now."

Zhou Xintong said something casually and sat on the main seat again.

"yes."

Zhou Dingwen and his son did not dare to stay in the front hall and quickly left.

Watching the two people leaving and disappearing outside the door, Zhou Xintong showed a somewhat disdainful expression: "I, the ninth master, are really incompetent. I am not the only outsider to figure out the affairs of the family. I really don't know why the master wants me to do so." I’m going to give it a try.”

"I think this may involve the Huangtian Sect. The master and the others are planning to enter the court, so they have to be cautious."

Zhou Xintong nodded in agreement.

"Fortunately, our family has not relaxed the supervision of each branch in these years. Otherwise, we may not be able to scare them today. When I become the head of the family in the future, I will not be so troublesome. Anyone who disobeys will be beaten to death. ”

…

The courtyard where Shen Qing lives in the county town seems a bit empty.

The old locust tree originally planted in the courtyard has been cut down, and now only a stump of more than half a meter high remains.

Shen Qing picked up a bowl of medicinal soup, sat on the tree stump, and drank the bowl of Chinese medicinal soup in one gulp.

When the medicinal soup enters the throat, it is unspeakably bitter at first, but then a warm current rises from the Dantian and quickly travels through the limbs and bones. Wherever it passes, it seems that there are countless tiny needle points gently stimulating every inch of the skin. The bones bring an indescribable numbness and pleasure.

Under Shen Qing's guidance, the turbulent power like a river converging into the sea gradually calmed down and turned into a warm and powerful airflow that slowly filled his body.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Qing could clearly feel that after so many days of day and night practice, taking medicine and nourishing himself, the energy in his body had reached an unprecedented fullness at this moment.

He could no longer absorb the remaining medicinal power into energy.

It seemed that he had reached a certain critical value of this body.

"The state of nourishing energy is perfect..."

Shen Qing muttered in his heart, thinking of something, and a hint of joy that was difficult to conceal flashed in his eyes.

He clearly remembered that Li Linfeng had told him that the so-called state of nourishing energy is to cultivate energy through precious medicine.

In this state, the body is a vessel for containing energy. When the energy fills the vessel completely, it means that the state of nourishing energy is perfect.

Shen Qing calculated that this process took him about one and a half months, which was very fast.

As the medicinal power was completely absorbed, Shen Qing slowly stood up, his figure was as straight as a pine tree, and there was an indescribable spirit in his every move.

In the past month, with the refinement and replenishment of the Tiger Demon Pill, he secretly estimated that the energy in his body is about five times that of an ordinary warrior in the Qi Cultivation Realm.

With the help of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art and other martial arts, Shen Qing himself could not tell what level he had reached.

Although he had not yet broken through to the Qi Sea Realm, Shen Qing vaguely felt that warriors in the Qi Sea Realm might not be his opponents.

The specific estimate could only be known after a fight.

"Qingzi, something seems to be wrong outside." Uncle Shen Er, who had returned from outside, muttered with his head down.

Shen Qing asked, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know what happened today. The Zhou family started to sell land, houses, and buildings like crazy. The other owners were so happy that they went crazy. Even the county government began to accept the Zhou family's assets. Now everyone said that the owner Zhou had lost his mind."

Shen Qing frowned. Why did the Zhou family sell off their property for no reason?

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal.

He called Shen Xiaohu and told him, "Go find Tian Xiaohu. I have something to ask him."

Shen Xiaohu saw Shen Qing's serious look, nodded and agreed, and ran out.

A moment later, Tian Xiaohu, who was strolling on the street, was pulled back into the house by Shen Xiaohu.

"Qingzi, you're looking for me?"

Shen Qing nodded and said, "Now I feel something strange in the inner city. Go and find out what's going on with the Zhou family. Is there anything wrong with the city besides the Zhou family?"

For a moment, Shen Qing had a bad feeling.

It seemed that he couldn't stay in Taiping County.
