Chapter 26

"Time to pay the hygiene fee!"

Xu Feng knocked on Lou Qinghe's door and said without any politeness.

"Steward Xu."

At this time, Huang Gensheng walked over and apologized with a smile: "This is my friend, how about his hygiene fee is still calculated at the original price?"

He originally wanted to say whether this hygiene fee could be waived, but thinking of his current status, he still said to calculate it at the original price.

"I know he is your friend."

Xu Feng sneered and said: "But he is not a friend of my Xu Family."

Lou Qinghe frowned slightly, clearly feeling the thorn in these words.

Obviously, the consequences of his refusal to become a son-in-law of the Xu Family had begun to ferment.

Huang Gensheng's face flushed red, his mouth slightly open, wanting to speak but stopping.

Obviously, he didn't expect Xu Feng not to give him any face at all.

Although he was a son-in-law of the Xu Family, he was a son-in-law without power or influence, with low status, and had no say at all.

Lou Qinghe took out the Spirit Stones cleanly and said: "Steward Xu, this is twelve Low-grade Spirit Stones."

Xu Feng looked at the Spirit Stones in his hand, sneered, and there was a trace of mockery in his eyes.

The other few Xu Family disciples also had unkind faces and glared at Lou Qinghe viciously.

After the Xu Family members left, Huang Gensheng sighed and said: "Sorry, Brother Lou!"

Obviously, these Xu Family members were still angry about Lou Qinghe's previous refusal of the Xu Family.

Lou Qinghe comforted Huang Gensheng and said: "It doesn't matter, don't take it to heart, hurry up and go."

Huang Gensheng nodded and walked away with a dark face.

"The Xu Family people hate me, but they won't go so far as to kill me, but in any case, I must be careful during this time......"

Lou Qinghe closed the door and came to his bedroom.

Then he took out a box from under the bed, which was full of Spirit Stones.

"The Spirit Stones are all here, I didn't dare to spend a single cent!"

There were a total of eight Middle-grade Spirit Stones in the box, which not only included what he had saved before, but also the Spirit Stones obtained from the chaos of the Zhou Family's destruction.

Besides that, there were several magical artifacts.

Among them was a flying sword!

This flying sword was exactly the flying sword that Hou Peng had set up on the street stall, a broken second-grade magical artifact.

There were three restrictions on it: Breaking Wind, Vajra, and Illusion.

Among these three restrictions, Illusion was the most difficult to place and the most expensive, which would cause cultivators to have hallucinations when fighting.

It is no exaggeration to say that if this were a complete second-grade magical artifact, its value would be immeasurable......

In Lou Qinghe's heart, this flying sword was more precious than three Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

After all, with this flying sword, he also had a magical artifact that could be used.

"Now I don't need to refine it from scratch, I have a handy magical artifact, and I'll collect some ore to refine it later, and then upgrade it to a second-grade magical artifact."

"At present, I still need to improve my cultivation; besides the Healing Pill, the other three types of pills need to be refined, so I still need a lot of herbs....... "

Lou Qinghe thought secretly.

The Huiqi Pill can restore a lot of spiritual energy, while the Spirit Gathering Pill can speed up cultivation, and the Quhua Pill is a pill that reduces alienation phenomena.

Now that the Xu Family has become the master of the Longmen Market, it looks much more orderly than the Zhou Family on the surface.

But no one knows if the Xu Family's heart is darker than the Zhou Family's.

"Forget it, I'll go to the market in two days to find out the situation."

Lou Qinghe took a deep breath, put a Spirit Gathering Pill into his mouth, and immediately sat cross-legged to practice.

Spiritual energy operated rapidly in his body, and under the dual blessing of the second layer of the Shangqing Taixu Art and the Spirit Gathering Pill, he could get four points of proficiency in one cycle, which greatly accelerated his cultivation speed.

Time passed, and three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Lou Qinghe disguised himself, wore a mask, changed his clothes, and came to the market.

In just two or three days, the market hadn't returned to normal, but some cultivators could still be seen on the street.

Especially on the street stalls, there were extra rogue cultivators selling magical artifacts.

From the mouths of these passing rogue cultivators, Lou Qinghe got some news.

The destruction of the Zhou Family was planned by the Xu Family long ago; it turned out that the Xu Family had attached themselves to the Wang Family, one of the twelve families in the Inner City, and the one who made the move this time was exactly the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Wang Family.

This made the Xu Family's prestige completely unshakable in the hearts of the rogue cultivators.

After all, Foundation Establishment cultivators were high and unreachable existences in the eyes of ordinary rogue cultivators.

And there was a Foundation Establishment expert behind the Xu Family!

The second piece of news was that Family Head Zhou died at the hands of Chang Zidao, the genius sword cultivator, which made many Inner City, and even a sword expert in the Huangshi Sect, start to pay attention to this young sword cultivator.

The third piece of news was that the Zhou Family Young Master Zhou Sheng had escaped, and there had been no news so far.

If the first three pieces of news had very little to do with Lou Qinghe, then the fourth piece of news was closely related to him.

The Xu Family began to rectify the Longmen Market, began to recruit pill masters, artifact refiners, brewers, and spirit farmers of the Literary Cultivation Sect, and vigorously sold pills and magical artifacts.

The original price of the Zhou Family was extremely high, making many people unwilling to buy, but now the Xu Family's price had dropped to a reasonable place, instantly attracting most of the business in the Longmen Market.

After all, the origin of the pills on the street stalls was not guaranteed, and rogue cultivators were also afraid that they contained evil energy.

"No, if I spend a lot of time setting up a stall, it will be a loss."

Lou Qinghe set up a stall for an afternoon, but only sold one-third.

The other rogue cultivators setting up stalls were even more miserable.

They were all squatting on the ground, their faces more bitter than bitter gourds.

"The Xu Family's sales are extremely low in profit, basically small profits but quick turnover; now that rogue cultivators are not leaning toward the Xu Family, there is basically no way to survive."

"But I still have a lot of Spirit Stones on me now, so I don't need to rely on the Xu Family, and I don't need to take risks for the time being."

Lou Qinghe put away his stall.

Then he found a safe corner, took off his clothes, and walked toward his home.

"Clatter!" "Clatter!"

Just as he was walking along the small path, a basin of water was splashed over, and if he hadn't reacted in time, he would have become a drowned rat.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry!"

Looking up, it was a female cultivator with a beautiful face, a plump figure, and a woman's bun on her head.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter......"

Lou Qinghe waved his hand, then had a trace of curiosity in his heart.

Because the position where the female cultivator was standing was exactly the door of Hou Peng's house.

And Hou Peng had long since died in the chaos a few days ago.

"Mother, I'm hungry, when can I eat?"

Just then, a lively and cute little girl drilled out from behind the house.

"I know, I know."

The woman shouted angrily, turned her head to look at Lou Qinghe, cupped her fists and apologized: "I am Qiao Li, I moved to this Qingyun Street yesterday, please take care of me in the future, Fellow Daoist."

Lou Qinghe chuckled: "I am Lou Qinghe, I live next door to you, we should take care of each other."

Lou Qinghe!?

When hearing this name, Qiao Li's expression became a bit strange, and then she hurriedly closed the door.

PS: Came back late, there will be another chapter before twelve o'clock.
