I was just thinking, how to deal with Liu Qingcang taking their contracts to sue? If the government intervenes, we can't hide people. Since this matter was initiated by you, there should be a plan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou said indifferently: \"This doesn't need to be cared about at all... because the apprentices were picked by me at the beginning, and the contracts were signed by me. The inherent slave items were deleted by me long ago. Gang Master Liu is busy with ten thousand machines, how can he look at these carefully...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faces of everyone in the courtyard became very exciting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Dugu Qingli was stunned for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loose apprentice contract, of course, could not be used to pit Liu Qingcang. That could only be Lu Xingzhou's kindness to the apprentices. Who would have thought that it would come in handy at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ideas were clearly so poisonous, it shouldn't be like this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yunzhong worked very quickly, and the families of the apprentices were received and settled perfectly. The Shen Clan Trading Firm established its own alchemy hall, not doing business for external sales, only doing boutique for the sect's own use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The apprentices are no longer apprentices, becoming formal personnel of the trading firm. Shen Tang will obviously have an assessment. If they pass, they will be formally taught cultivation methods by the sect. If they can really enter the sect, it can be considered a creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Profound Heaven Sword Sect can hang on to the royal family, their cultivation methods are not weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a broken sword sect that was originally biased is also visibly becoming more vibrant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou didn't ask any more questions. The fate of this kind of \"master and apprentice\" is very shallow. It is enough to be responsible for this step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether there will really be excellent alchemy talents, it depends on Shen Tang's luck—the alchemy aptitude of the apprentices personally selected by Lu Xingzhou is definitely there, but there is still a gap from talents, and it can only be an apprentice. However, many things are not just relying on talent to eat. Diligence can make up for clumsiness, and there is never a lack of people who are late bloomers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just organized his alchemy skills and insights into a book and sent it to Shen Tang: \"Since your sect wants to establish an alchemy system, alchemy knowledge classics are still needed. These things of mine can't be counted as classics, give them to you as textbooks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang was stunned: \"This is your tool for eating, and you sent it to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone has textbooks, how many can pass Qingbei?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, nothing... I mean, these things of mine are not very high-end. After all, I am only a seventh-grade alchemist myself, and there is no big mystery. Anyway, they are considered my disciples, and it is appropriate to teach them. I still need to seek higher inheritance later...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shen Tang's eyes move, Lu Xingzhou added: \"Don't think about helping me find it again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang couldn't help laughing: \"How does it sound like you are very afraid of me helping you find things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Lu Xingzhou didn't hide it: \"Human debt is hard to pay, it's best not to have it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But in fact, I have been bearing your favor all along.\" Shen Tang sighed slightly: \"Lu Xingzhou, do you feel that we are very similar? In every sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou hummed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to repay Shen Tang's favor, but in fact, in Shen Tang's view, all things were clearly benefiting her, so she always kept in mind to give back a little from somewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept this in mind, and Lu Xingzhou couldn't stand it, so when will the grace be repaid, it's endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the beginning, both sides felt like they saw a gender-swapped version of themselves. As the contact deepened, the more they looked like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the softer the heart, the more vigilant and evasive he was. Two people with a belly of secrets didn't even dare to communicate deeper, and every time they tasted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being silent for a long time, Shen Tang suddenly smiled: \"Not to mention anything else, you are a man with a child, always watching you eat cakes and sweet potatoes, it is not good after all. From today, come and eat with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou also looked up and smiled: \"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the words fell, there was a \"clatter\" outside the house, the door was kicked open, and Liu Qingcang led the crowd to rush in: \"Shen Tang! Hand over the people!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!\" Sword light rose everywhere, and the people of the Profound Heaven Sword Sect quickly formed a sword formation, blocking the Danxia Gang in the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang rowed her wheelchair out leisurely and said faintly: \"Gang Master Liu, breaking into my Shen Clan Trading Firm, do you really think we have no one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingcang said angrily: \"Hand over the apprentices of this gang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apprentices? How can your apprentices come to me to find them?\" Shen Tang sneered: \"Gang Master Liu is neither a government office nor a Demon Suppression Division, where do you have the qualification to break into a private house to find people? Get out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang!\" The ice-blue sword light flashed, Liu Qingcang blocked it in horror, and retreated several steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down, frost spread all the way on the sword, straight to the wrist, and the icy meaning rushed so that the blood in the arm was about to freeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white-haired girl stood quietly in front of him and said faintly: \"Go out. The next sword, you will die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingcang really wanted to speak, but the icy meaning drilled into the blood vessels and seeped into the soul. He was actually trembling with teeth and couldn't speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this sword was aimed at killing, his head would be gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of cultivation method is this, what kind of sword?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang said leisurely: \"According to the laws of the Great Qian, those who break into private houses can be killed without penalty. Gang Master Liu, I will count to three. If you don't retreat, you will never have to leave again. Three...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two\" hadn't even opened his mouth, and the Danxia Gang, who was aggressive when he came, retreated like a tide, not even daring to say harsh words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingcang tried his best to suppress the icy meaning in his body, and walked back with pale lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had known the other party was so strong, he shouldn't have come hard like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, receiving this batch of apprentices is a bad move. The City Master has no excuse to openly deal with you Shen Tang. This time, as long as you sue, won't the excuse come? It shouldn't have been broken into.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope the City Master is reliable this time, otherwise this incident will not be resolved, and the Danxia Gang will go bankrupt completely...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did it become like this in just a few days... The business was pitted to go bankrupt, and it couldn't be beaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was angry, he saw a motorcade coming in this direction from afar. The carriage was extremely gorgeous, and even the pendants exuded hidden spiritual energy. The breath was extremely strong, and it was actually a magic weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A family that even uses magic weapons for carriage decoration... Who is this strong dragon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sides passed by, and a \"Eh\" suddenly came from the carriage: \"Isn't this Gang Master Liu... how so flustered...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the voice, the curtain was lifted, revealing a handsome face. It was a family son, a bit familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingcang recalled for a long time and didn't remember: \"Do you know me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man smiled reservedly: \"Oh, I was only twelve years old when I left Xiazhou, and I haven't grown up yet. It's normal for Gang Master Liu not to know me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingcang was shocked: \"Are you from the Huo family...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am the sixth, Huo Yu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingcang was overjoyed: \"So it is the Sixth Young Master who is back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing from the name, this is not the kind of Huo Shang who is not treated well, but the Sixth Young Master who is raised like a treasure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows why the Danxia Gang is so close to the Huo residence, because he was a dog raised by the Huo family back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That year, a mountain dweller accidentally got a treasure, and it was he, Liu Qingcang, who tipped off the Huo family. Since then, he got money and cultivation methods, rose from seventh-grade cultivation to fifth-grade, and from a small gang of hundreds of people to a large gang occupying Danxia Mountain, rising to the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn't know what Lu Xingzhou is here for. If he knew, he would have to worship a Buddha... Lu Xingzhou doesn't know that he had a share in the matter of that year, otherwise the means would not be so gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's a pity that the Huo family moved the whole clan to the capital not long after, and the old Huo housekeeper left here had his hand tendons picked, and a lot of servants died. His reliance was gone, which made this time so passive... Otherwise, where would he need that unreliable City Master to help? Clearly, he didn't dare to openly deal with Shen Tang, it was really a waste!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the Sixth Young Master of the Huo family is back, what Shen Tang, what Lu Xingzhou, are still a fart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong with Gang Master Liu? It feels like you were bullied just now.\" Huo Yu asked strangely: \"How do you look like this, like you were driven out of the gang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sixth Young Master!\" Liu Qingcang howled as soon as he opened his mouth: \"Sixth Young Master must be the master for the small one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong with Xiazhou?\" Huo Yu smiled and asked: \"We have been away for a few years, the housekeeper had his hand tendons picked, countless servants were killed, and Gang Master Liu was also bullied here... Is our Huo family's name not good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, after the Huo family left, it was not really considered the Huo family's power here. Mainly because the old Huo Taishi was more cautious and avoided suspicion after rising, and didn't want to be impeached for engaging in an independent kingdom, so Xiazhou really didn't leave any students or officials. Anyway, this is just a rural place, which makes no sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there are still as many people licking behind their butts secretly. Even Xu Bingkun is listening to the Huo family behind his back. Just need a backbone to come, and Xiazhou can change color in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingcang hurriedly said: \"Sixth Young Master doesn't know, local families are okay, how do those outsiders know the prestige of the Huo family? They don't put the Huo family, don't put the Young Master in their eyes at all, arrogant and domineering!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outsiders, Sheng Yuanyao is, Shen Tang is. In fact, even Chen Jinnian is not a local of Xiazhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Yu smiled coldly, his eyes were a bit sinister, different from his appearance, and said slowly: \"Let's go back to the residence with me and talk slowly... Since this Young Master is back, naturally I will let them know that Xiazhou still has the surname Huo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Clan Trading Firm, Lu Xingzhou's eyes were gloomy: \"Finally here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2022,"2026-06-18T01:46:09.112Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","af27259129d81684513580c62babdf325b7d143c8ba1770343f1d5aa26f367f9","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-20","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-18",325,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmountains-and-rivers-of-the-imperial-granary-cover.jpg"]
