The Black Ice Platform is a secret service organization of the Great Yong Dynasty, and is managed by people sent by the royal Mo family.
Afterwards, an extremely secret piece of information was quickly reported to the top bosses of the Mo family.
"Someone seems to have found a Mountain Dragon Pearl! But the portrait was deliberately erased!"
This incident even alarmed the Mo family's ancestor, who had long been out of touch with the secular world, and he even issued an order: "Find him at all costs!"
This "he"
Maybe it refers to the person who picked up the Dragon Ball!
Maybe it was the mysterious person who sent the information!
Or maybe it refers to Dragon Ball!
But none of this matters. What matters is that the Mo family has "moved"!
This action immediately alarmed the four major Jindan families of Dayong, as well as the large and small forces of the Dayong Dynasty.
No one knows why the Mo family mobilized such a large force.
The Mo family seemed to be searching for something, someone or something? Or something else?
Apart from a few people from the Mo family and a certain instigator, other forces were confused.
Zhao Sheng had no intention of exposing Zhou Zhongyu at this time.
In his opinion, destroying a Jindan family is a very difficult task and cannot be accomplished overnight.
Destroying the Zhou family is a systematic project that must be done step by step.
This is like cooking. First, you need to heat the oil in a pan, then add the seasonings and ingredients, stir-fry repeatedly, add salt, and wait until the heat is almost right before serving.
If the real shadow ball is the seasoning, then the dragon ball is the food.
The pan has been heated up and the oil has been boiling. Now it is time to stir-fry repeatedly.
When the Mo family made a big fuss about this matter, Zhao Sheng secretly added a handful of crucial salt (Golden Ring Spirit Earthworm).
Seeing that the cooking time is almost right, Zhou Zhongyu can officially appear on stage.
There is also a key time factor, which we will not mention for now.
As soon as the Wanbao auction ended, Zhao Sheng did not stay long and immediately returned to Hongyangzhou with the Zhou family.
After returning to Zhoucheng, Zhao Sheng resumed his previous life rhythm. Every day he either brewed wine or taught his apprentices how to draw talismans.
He didn't practice cultivation on weekdays, and often invited people to drink wine and chat about the world, with an attitude of enjoying his old age.
Every now and then, Zhao Sheng would give out some spiritual wine for people to taste. The recipients were not fixed. As long as they liked the wine, he would give them a jar.
Therefore, in just one or two years, Zhao Sheng's reputation in the Zhou family became better and better, and everyone praised him.
As he gained more and more trust from the Zhou family, Zhao Sheng gradually came into contact with some confidential matters within the Zhou family.
At the same time, the Zhou family's Sutra Library was gradually opened to Zhao Sheng.
Because Zhao Sheng's every move in the past few years has shown that he has not much time left and has become indifferent to worldly affairs.
As the saying goes, attitude determines everything!
The people in power in the Zhou family saw Zhao Sheng's behavior and never thought that a kind-hearted, dying old man was secretly planning to overthrow the Zhou family.
Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye!
Zhou Family Sutra Library
The third floor is the alchemy category. At this time, Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged behind a low table, slowly flipping through a volume of "The First Hearing of Water-Refined Pills".
He had discovered this secret scroll of alchemy by chance two days ago.
Since discovering it, Zhao Sheng has been overjoyed and has never left the Sutra Repository. He has been reading it repeatedly until now.
In the world of immortal cultivation, alchemy is mostly done by fire, and water refining is extremely rare.
If we say that fire refining focuses on the word "refining", it is to calcine the elixir, extract the essence, and finally fuse it.
Water refining, on the other hand, focuses on conception. Using spiritual water to flush and decompose the spiritual medicine, allowing the essence to blend into the spiritual water, and finally slowly nurture the spiritual pill.
Fire refining and water refining each have their advantages and disadvantages, but why is water refining rarely heard of in the world of immortal cultivation?
The key point is that water refining has a huge flaw. The speed of producing elixirs through water refining is too slow. It takes several months to form a furnace of elixirs, and it is not uncommon to take more than a year.
However, fire refining is much faster, rarely taking more than a month. Most of the time, a furnace can be refined in three to five days, and occasionally seven or eight days.
From the perspective of efficiency alone, the Water-Refined Pregnancy Pill has been eliminated.
However, water refining has been passed down to this day and has not been completely lost. After all, it has its own unique features.
The elixir made by the elixir-preparing method is not only more refined, but also contains very little elixir poison. The most important thing is that the success rate of elixir refining is much higher than that of fire refining.
Therefore, when refining high-level elixirs, water-refined elixirs have incomparable advantages.
Therefore, although the Shuilian Yundan was not lost, it was secretly monopolized and blocked by the major forces in the world of immortal cultivation, and was rarely known to ordinary immortal cultivators.
After turning the last page, Zhao Sheng closed his eyes and recalled the contents silently several times, feeling that he had thoroughly understood them.
He opened his eyes and threw the scroll casually. The scroll flew up like a bird, flew over a distance of seven or eight feet, and landed back on the bookshelf with incredible precision.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng stretched out his hand, and a volume of ancient books suddenly flew out from the bookshelf and fell directly into his hands.
Then he opened the ancient book and read it silently with his head down.
Five days later, a ray of light suddenly flew down from downstairs, landed on Zhao Sheng's desk, and turned into a jade token.
"Is it time again?
When Zhao Sheng saw this, he sighed inwardly, picked up the jade token, put the ancient book back to its original place, and went downstairs.
As soon as he walked out of the Sutra Library, Zhao Sheng saw a handsome young man in yellow clothes guarding the door.
"master!"
Zhao Sheng looked at the heroic young man who ran up to him with a respectful look on his face, and sighed inwardly.
The young man's name was Zhou Qingwu. He was the most intelligent and clever among his group of cheap disciples.
Not only that, Zhou Qingwu is a rare person with dual spiritual roots and superior qualifications, and his qualifications are the best among his peers in the Zhou family.
If he had not been born in the Zhou family, Zhao Sheng might have accepted him as his successor.
"What a shame. After all, you are a member of the Zhou family!"
Zhao Sheng sighed inwardly, but said sternly, "Qingwu, why are you coming to the Sutra Library if you're not doing your homework?"
Hearing his master's scolding, Zhou Qingwu's eyes rolled and he immediately said confidently, "Master, you misunderstood! I came to the Sutra Library to search for some of the predecessors' experiences. I just happened to run into you this time."
It's not good to have an apprentice who is too smart. Zhao Sheng couldn't do anything about him for a moment and couldn't help but frown.
"Even so, hurry in!"
"Oh," Zhou Qingwu responded honestly, then turned around and slipped into the Sutra Library.
Looking at the young figure disappearing from the door, Zhao Sheng's eyes flickered a few times, and then his body turned into a long rainbow and flew away at a high speed.
Two days later, in a secret room in the mansion, Zhao Sheng practiced the Nine Revolutions to restore the spiritual power in his Dantian to its peak state.
After finishing his practice, he thought about it, and the Book of Hundred Worlds from the depths of his soul sea instantly emerged in his mind. The fourth page was naturally turned out, and the personal data panel appeared:

Looking at the life span column, Zhao Sheng had a complicated expression. After a moment of contemplation, he murmured to himself, "There are still a dozen or so years left, but that's enough. The dish is almost done now, it's time to add salt and serve."
Half a day later, a flying water wave appeared in front of Zhou Yingze, the head of the Zhou family.
After opening the invitation, Zhou Yingze's face flashed with doubt. He thought, "Guest Zhao, why do you want to see me?"
Although he was puzzled, Zhou Yingze did not dare to neglect it and immediately ordered his servants: "Quickly invite Mr. Zhao in."
The servants retreated.
