The battle between Zhou Shu and Yue Hongyan shocked Lingyu City.

Zhou Shu had previously shown a level far beyond that of a Pulse Condensing Realm cultivator, but many Lingyu City cultivators believed that the ultimate magic weapon was the fundamental reason. After all, magic weapons could play a great role in facing Pulse Condensing Realm cultivators.

When facing a comprehensive Golden Core cultivator, the advantage of the best magic weapon is no longer obvious, and the cultivator's own strength will be the decisive factor. At that time, Zhou Shu's weakness of insufficient cultivation will be exposed, and the chance of winning the Golden Core will be exposed.

Very small, not to mention he was facing a master of Jindan like Yue Hongyan.

However, the reality made them realize that they were wrong. In this battle, they saw clearly that Zhou Shu himself was no less powerful than the Golden Core Realm, at least in a short period of time, and Zhou Shu could only reach the level of the Golden Core Realm.

Only then can we truly make good use of the best magic weapons, give full play to our advantages, and defeat the equal practitioners of the Golden Core Realm.

From now on, Zhou Shu will never be the same in the eyes of Lingyu City cultivators. Even if Zhou Shu is only at the Pulse Condensation Realm, they will take Zhou Shu seriously as a Golden Core Realm.

The last such cultivator was Zhao Yige, a son of an aristocratic family and a true genius who established Hai Zhong Tower.

For a time, Lingyu City was full of discussions about Zhou Shu. Rumors continued, and many forces took notice of the news and wanted to attract talents like Zhou Shu.

Hai Zhong Building, top floor.

Zhao Yige pointed at the pile of things in front of him and said to Zhou Shu, "Fellow Daoist Shu, these are gifts sent to Haizhong Tower by others. They were all given to you by name. Originally, they were going to Liuxia Sect to find you, but they were all ignored by Liuxia Sect.

The cultivator blocked it and couldn't get in."

Zhou Shu nodded, "Thank you, sir."

He could feel that Liuxia Sect's defenses had been strengthened a lot. Especially near Yanyun Valley, only Liuxia Sect's disciples could come to him. Other cultivators could not enter at all, not even guests.

It seems like it has become a protected animal.

He opened a jade box that was extremely tightly sealed by the spirit locking formation. The pure spiritual energy suddenly emanated. Inside was a snow-white lotus flower, jade and ice-clear. The most peculiar thing was that there was a heart-shaped turquoise lotus seed in the center of the lotus flower.

Fluorescent light radiates everywhere. You can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary thing.

"This is the Spiritual Heart Jade Lotus Seed. It is a fourth-level spiritual object that many cultivators in the golden elixir realm dream of. After taking it, it can nourish the spiritual soul of the cultivator and is of great benefit to forming elixirs. Even I have never seen it.

A few."

There was a trace of envy on Zhao Yige's face, "This is from the Hongye Sect. They want to invite fellow Taoists to be guest elders. The condition is that you can do it. The treatment is guaranteed to be several times better than that of the Liuxia Sect."

Zhou Shu put it down with an indifferent expression and picked up another jade box without comment.

"This thing is also extraordinary. It's called the Iron Bone Pill. It was sent by the Kaoshan Sect. It also invited Taoist friends to be guests and elders. The Iron Bone Pill is the unique elixir of the Kaoshan Sect. It uses iron bone spines and a variety of rare spirits.

Refined from raw materials, less than a hundred pills are produced every year. It can greatly enhance the physique of cultivators, and its benefits to cultivators who practice physical training are self-evident. Even if cultivators who do not practice physical training take this pill, they will also

Able to be as solid as stone and not afraid of low-level swords."

Zhao Yige was well-informed and introduced him immediately.

Zhou Shu took a few more glances, but still put it down and glanced around. Most of the gifts from other factions were also extraordinary, but not as good as those from Hongye Sect and Guoshan Sect.

"What do you think, fellow Daoist Shu?"

Zhou Shu shook his head slightly, "I'm not interested. Could you please help me go back, please?"

Although the elder Keqing does not have to take care of anything in the sect, there are no restrictions. For example, many Jindan cultivators are Keqing of several sects. Basically, as long as they do not disadvantage the sect they join, it is estimated that Hongye

Zong thought so too.

But Zhou Shu doesn’t think so. The more sects he joins, the more things will happen. What if after he becomes the guest elder of Hongye Sect, a cultivator of Hongye Sect will hinder him? No matter what Zhou Shu does, there will always be something wrong.

It is better to be unrestrained than to be hindered.

The current situation is very good and he doesn't want to change anything.

What's more, these things are just good, and it's not enough to impress him.

"Not interested."

Zhao Yige put his hands on his hands and smiled, "What Daoist Friend Shu said is exactly what I thought. I have told the cultivators who brought gifts before that Daoist Friend Shu would not accept them, but they insisted on keeping them. I asked before talking about it. Now look at it, and it is true."

.”

Zhou Shu smiled and said, "The poster really understands me."

Zhao Yige's expression changed slightly, he sighed, and looked at Zhou Shudao solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Shu, there are some things I want to say again. This is the seventeenth time I've said it this month. I wonder if you are still willing to listen?"

Zhou Shu also said more solemnly, "Master, please tell me."

Zhao Yige looked directly at Zhou Shu and said slowly, "Are you interested in joining Haizhong Tower? The conditions I offer may not be as good as those of these sects, but I can give you a guarantee that when Haizhong Tower is truly independent from the Zhao family

At this time, you and I are both the owners of the building, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior."

Zhou Shu was startled when he heard the sound, and then began to think seriously.

Such a promise, coming from Zhao Yige's mouth, was really rare and he did not expect it.

After a while, he still shook his head and said, "Sorry, host, I still can't agree."

"As expected, it still doesn't work..."

Zhao Yige smiled slightly, but there was a hint of bitterness in the smile, "It's not surprising, Daoyou Shu is such a talented person. In just one month, he earns as much spiritual stone as Shanghai Zhonglou after five years of hard work. How can he look down on Shanghai Zhonglou?"

Zhou Shu shook his head seriously, "It has nothing to do with this, host."

"What does that have to do with? I have asked my Taoist friends more than ten times, but they are always evasive, which makes me really confused."

Zhao Yige's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he was being stabbed by a sharp knife.

Zhou Shu remained calm, "Would you like to hear the truth or a lie, sir?"

Zhao Yige pressed forward step by step, "Truthfully."

"Then I will seriously explain my reasons."

Zhou Shu smiled indifferently and said slowly, "As a practitioner, you should pay most attention to your original intention and stick to it at all times. However, the process of cultivation is extremely difficult and you will experience countless obstacles and fetters. Your original intention will be tested all the time. There are several practitioners

Can we truly adhere to our original intention during practice?"

"I have seen too many cultivators who have to violate their true intentions due to obstacles and fetters. For example, the elder of a small sect. When a powerful enemy invades, in order to protect the sect's thousand-year inheritance and the fetters of disciples, he must give up

To protect them with his life, did his true heart want him to explode the golden elixir? Of course not, but he still did it and had to do it."

"Another example is the cultivator in the family. When obstacles come, she can even give up herself for the sake of the family's survival. Then where is her original intention? Can she still stick to her original intention?"

"...There are many such examples, too many to mention. They may not be considered cultivators who truly adhere to their true intentions, but they are still very good cultivators."

"Yes, they are."

Zhao Yige slightly pondered, "Every cultivator has to face fetters and obstacles, many of which are present even at birth, which cannot be avoided. The cultivation of cultivators is actually the process of gradually cutting off fetters and removing obstacles.

In this process, the cultivators' original intention will become more and more determined. Their abilities are not up to standard, but they want to have both, but the result is a dilemma, so it seems tragic. However, what does this have to do with fellow Taoists joining Haizhonglou?

.”

He was a little confused as to why Zhou Shu said this.

"The poster understands it very well, but this is very relevant."

Zhou Shu breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't know what kind of obstacles and constraints I will encounter when joining Haizhong Tower, but no matter how you look at it, those are not things I can afford now, so I can't join now."

Zhou Shu is a cultivator who has always adhered to his original intention.

He came from time to time, but in the process of practice, there are also fetters and obstacles of this kind. Facing the fetters, he will try his best to protect them, and he will defeat the obstacles without hesitation. These cannot be avoided, they are all necessary

What you have to do is for your own heart, and you can't change it.

But what he can change is to make a choice before the fetters and obstacles appear, and strive not to be involved in too many fetters and obstacles, and strive not to get himself into a dilemma.

The so-called dilemma is that you have to follow your original intention, but you have to violate your original intention.

Joining Haizhonglou is obviously a situation that may put him in a dilemma for Zhou Shu.
