In the cave, Liu Han sat cross-legged, and streams of white aura visible to the naked eye drilled into his body, forming a white circle around his body, a bit like a silkworm cocoon, and there were constantly traces of white aura flying into the cocoon.

With a soft snort, the cocoon suddenly shattered, Liu Han opened his eyes, his eyes were introverted, and his face was softer and smoother.

Yu Qingzi stood at the door, looking at him with satisfaction, Liu Han looked inward slightly, got up with satisfaction, walked in front of Yu Qingzi, bowed and said, "Thank you Master for your success." ”

Yu Qingzi sighed with a smile: "Your talent makes the teacher happy, but unfortunately, you don't want to practice in the world, but the teacher still hopes that you can seize the time to practice, don't always think about using external forces, cultivation is the foundation of everything." ”

"Yes, that's what the master said. Liu Han was very respectful, but he didn't listen to it at all in his heart, but he was still really grateful to Yuqingzi and Qingxu Sect.

The light sound just now announced that he had officially stepped into the eighth-layer realm, and in the past two months, he had broken through seven layers and eight layers in a row, and the biggest reason why he was so powerful was that Yu Qingzi arranged a gathering array for him, which consumed the precious spirit stones preserved by the sect.

When the spiritual energy is abundant, the spirit stone is very ordinary, but now, the spirit stone is very precious, and Liu Han's fire crystal is a kind of spirit stone, but Yu Qingzi did not use his, but used it brought from the sect.

Liu Han's progress surprised Yuqingzi, in just two months, he actually broke two layers in a row, such a genius, the sect has not seen it for a long time.

But the more this is the case, the more Yu Qingzi feels sorry, if it is twenty years earlier, Liu Han will definitely be able to become the third person in the Qingxu Sect to successfully build a foundation.

Looking at Liu Han's happy expression, Yu Qingzi nodded slightly: "You rest first, and then spend a few days to consolidate the realm." ”

"Yes, master. Liu Han nodded respectfully, turned around and sat down again.

However, this time he didn't activate the Qi Gathering Array again, relying on the aura in this cave, Yu Qingzi turned around and went out and closed the stone door.

Liu Han sat in the quiet room for seven days, in these seven days, in the first five days, he was consolidating the realm, and after the realm was consolidated, the last two days, he re-comprehended the "Five Elements Yuan Jigong" and "Sword Codex", and used the comprehension in the Sword Book on the knife.

After the past seven days, he felt that his comprehension of cultivation had become more profound, especially the comprehension and control of the vitality, and he had a further understanding.

What made him a little happy, but also a little disappointed, the dantian and the purple mansion had expanded a little, and the interval between the two was even smaller, but the fusion was still almost there.

After leaving the customs, Liu Han asked Yu Zhenzi to go out, and Yu Qingzi agreed without asking anything, but still told him to come back as soon as possible.

Liu Han knew very well that Yu Qingzi personally sat here, and it was one aspect to watch this blessed land, but the other purpose was to improve his cultivation, especially after meeting the old manager, Yu Qingzi told him that he should raise his cultivation to more than ten layers as soon as possible, and only when he reached more than ten layers could he have the ability to fight with the great grandmaster, and now, even if he had eight layers of cultivation, it would be difficult to rival the great grandmaster.

In the past two months, he was able to break through two layers in a row so smoothly, in addition to the Qi Gathering Array, there were also two pills provided by Yu Qingzi for him: Dacheng Dan and Diyuan Dan.

This elixir was several times stronger than the elixir that Liu Han had refined himself, and it used the thousand-year-old bamboo grass outside the cave mansion and several precious medicinal materials cultivated in the sect.

These two elixirs are only useful for refining the body above the sixth level, and they are not effective for worldly cultivation.

Worldly cultivation, to the extent of Liu Han, there is no pill that is effective, and he can only rely on his own exploration and understanding.

The breakthrough in cultivation made Liu Han very happy, but there was still something hanging outside, and he had to go out.

Coming out of the cave, he looked up at the sky, it was evening at the moment, the sky was shining with clouds, he looked around slightly, and it was very quiet.

This time, not out of the water, in the past two months, Yu Qingzi made changes to the cave and opened a way out, this road from the bottom of the cave slanted to the ghost to see the sorrow, and built a thatched house on the top of the cave.

Speeding down the hill, halfway through, he checked the progress of the project, and he was satisfied with the progress of the project, some of the houses in the manor had been completed, but according to the scale of the drawings, this was only a third of the construction.

He quietly checked the craftsmen in the workshop, and at this moment the craftsmen had finished their work and were gathering together to chat, waiting for the meal to start, with his cultivation, it was impossible for these craftsmen who did not have the slightest cultivation to notice.

He listened quietly, didn't notice anything wrong, and quietly left.

Liu Huo was not surprised by his sudden appearance, and reported to him the progress of the project, as well as the investigation of the craftsmen, and so far, no spies have been found inside.

"No one came to investigate at night?" asked Liu Han.

Liu Huo shook his head with a wry smile: "Master, my manpower is too tight, I can only watch these craftsmen, and I have no ability to other places." ”

Liu Han nodded, this is a problem he faces, there is a shortage of manpower, and other branches have recruited some people, especially Youzhou and Yongzhou, but Liu Huo is different, in order to avoid arousing the vigilance of the Jiangnan family, he did not let Liu Huo recruit people on a large scale, however, now that he has let go, he will not be able to find a suitable person for a while.

"Send a letter to the imperial capital, and ask Master Huang to arrange for twenty people to come over, well, from the newly trained private soldiers. ”

Liu Huo was very happy, and said casually: "Master, there are many people in the market, and there are homeless people outside the city, as long as they give a bowl of rice, they will all follow." ”

Liu Han shook his head, lowered his voice and said: "This movement is too big, do you know how many people are staring at us, the palace, the hundred workshops, and those opponents hiding in the shadows, don't think that during this time, we are going well, besides, you will be stationed in Jiankang in the future, do you have time to stay here?

Liu Han thought for a moment and said, "Let Lao Huang send Liu Tong, he can come out." ”

When Liu Huo heard this, he didn't ask anything anymore, Liu Han actually sent Liu Tong here, which means that the importance of this place definitely exceeds that of Jiankang, and even more than any other branch.

Liu Tie and Liu Tong are the two guards around Liu Han, these two people are the highest in the thirty-six iron guards, Liu Tie has always been Liu Han's close guard, after Liu Tie left, Liu Tong took over, it can be seen that Liu Tong's status around Liu Han is far more than Liu Huo, and now Liu Han will send such an important person here, which is enough to show the importance here.

After the inspection, Liu Han left the construction site, night fell, there were few pedestrians on the road, he was not in a hurry, and walked leisurely and slowly, but even so, his steps were still very fast.

Along the way, there were no accidents, when he arrived outside Yangzhou City, it was almost time, the city gate had already been closed, Liu Han didn't care at all, found a corner, flew up to the city wall, on the long city wall, no human figure could be seen, he didn't pay attention to it, and flew down the city wall.

He quickly rushed to the small tea shop in the Divine Eye Lin Huai, the street was quiet, Liu Han looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one, he walked around the alley.

"Open the door, it's me. ”

Lin Huai opened the door and was about to light the lamp, but Liu Han hurriedly stopped him.

"Your Excellency has gone there, and the order from the palace has been almost two months. Lin Huai opened his mouth with a little complaint, during this time, he had been waiting for Liu Han, and two orders came in a row from the palace, but Liu Han had no news, and he was very worried that something had happened.

"I went to the south to do something," Liu Han said casually, "What is the order from the palace?"

"Your Excellency will see for yourself, your subordinates have no right to see it. Lin Huai took out seven or eight small bamboo tubes and handed them to Liu Han, and Liu Han took them without looking at them, so he picked them up.

"Tell me, what's going on in Yangzhou lately?" Liu Han said.

Lin Huai was slightly stunned, glanced at Liu Han, and then said: "There is no big deal, Fang Zhen is out of the funeral, Fang Jie took over as the leader of the Cao Gang, and led the crowd to swear in front of Fang Zhenling that he would hunt down Xiao Lan and offer a reward of 100,000 taels of silver in Jiangnan to find clues about Xiao Lan. ”

"How did the Xiao family reply?" Liu Han asked, Lin Huai shook his head and said: "The Xiao family announced that they don't know Xiao Lan's whereabouts, and if there is Xiao Lan's whereabouts, they must tell the Cao Gang." ”

"Fang Jie accepted it like this?" Liu Han frowned slightly, and Lin Huai nodded: "Yes, Fang Jie accepted it, and now Yangzhou Wulin is looking for Xiao Lan's whereabouts." ”

Liu Han nodded, and after a while, he asked about the reaction of Yangzhou officialdom, Lin Huai shook his head: "There is no reaction, it is very calm." ”

"It's very calm!" Liu Han felt a little surprised, Gu Wei impeached Sheng Huai and other Yangzhou officials, and now they are actually very calm!! which is a little strange.

"Yes, it's calm. Lin Huai also nodded meaningfully, Liu Han thought about it, changed the topic and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"No, oh, by the way, Mo Kun found it," Lin Huai said, "This guy ran to Xiang County, what a fool." ”

Xiang County, just west of Yangzhou, is a small mountainous county, but it is still under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou.

"It's stupid enough," Liu Han asked, "Did you bring it back?"

"Dead. Lin Huai replied: "When he was caught, he committed suicide by taking poison." ”

Liu Han sighed softly, this Mo Kun was probably also controlled by Gu Jian, but he must not know who Gu Jian was behind him, otherwise the old manager would not ignore him, he was caught by the internal guards, Mo Kun knew that it was impossible to escape death, rather than die after torture, it was better to solve it himself.

Coming out of Lin Huai, Liu Han walked through the alley again, easily avoiding the patrolling city guards along the way, rushed to the outside of Ye Xiu's residence, and after observing the situation around the city, he quietly stepped forward.

The light was lit in the house, Ye Xiu obviously didn't sleep, she sat on the chair, her hand on her cheeks, and looked at the light blankly, it has been two months, the master has not come to contact, I don't know where he went, I don't know if there is danger, these two months, her heart is empty, I don't know what to do.

"Open the door!"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Ye Xiu was excited, and then he was overjoyed, and opened the door in a panic, a familiar figure stood at the door, Ye Xiu cheered and threw himself into his arms.

Liu Han hugged her into the house, closed the door with his backhand, and felt the excitement of the jade man in his arms, he gently patted her back to show comfort.

Ye Xiu was buried in his arms, trembling all over, and it took a while to calm down, looking up at Liu Han, a little embarrassed to leave.

Liu Han didn't let her go away, but sat down with her in his arms and let her sit in his arms.

Ye Xiu snuggled in his arms, sniffing the smell of his body, and suddenly felt at ease.

Liu Han kissed her lightly on the forehead and whispered, "Silly girl." ”

Ye Xiu writhed in his arms coquettishly, and pouted: "The slave misses the master." ”

Suddenly feeling the changes in Liu Han's body, Ye Xiu pursed her lips and was about to make a move when she slid down, Liu Han grabbed her, and Ye Xiu looked up at him in confusion.

"Get down to business first. Liu Han said and took out the small bamboo tube and put it on the table, Ye Xiu saw this and quickly stood up, turned the tongue of fire a little, thought about it, went out to fetch a bucket of water, and then poked the stove open and boiled the water.

Liu Han checked the seals on them one by one, and after confirming that they had not been opened, he opened the small bamboo tube and took out the paper inside.

The notes were placed on the table one by one, and there were two orders, one was to tell him the contact information of the internal guards in the Cao Gang at his request, and the other was a new order to let him monitor Yangzhou officialdom, especially Sheng Huai.

The order was short, and it was impossible to write in great detail on such a large note, and he looked at it in deep thought.

Ye Xiu boiled the water, looked up at Liu Han, and saw that Liu Han was still pondering, she got up and scooped out the water and brought it to Liu Han.

"Master, it's cold, and your feet are hot. ”

Liu Han hummed, turned his body slightly, Ye Xiu took off his boots for him, tested the water temperature, felt that it was appropriate, and put his feet in the basin.

Liu Han moaned very comfortably, after two months, the weather had turned cold, but with Liu Han's cultivation, he couldn't feel it at all, even in the ice and snow, it had no effect on him.

But the hot water still gave him a very comfortable feeling.

Ye Xiu rubbed his feet carefully, and added water twice in the middle, Liu Han still frowned, thinking about his thoughts.

After washing his feet, Ye Xiu brought a pair of cotton shoes and put them on Liu Han's feet, Liu Han thought clearly, burned the note on the oil lamp, and then stood up and let go of his body.

Ye Xiu poured water back, and Liu Han asked her to come over.

"I'll take a look at your cultivation. ”

Ye Xiu pouted and stretched out his hand, Liu Han's two fingers were put together, and a stream of internal breath invaded Ye Xiu's meridians, and Liu Han frowned slightly.

"What's the matter? Why is your cultivation still like this? Have I taken the pill I gave you?"

Liu Han's tone was very stern, Ye Xiu trembled, but she felt very comfortable in her heart, and she cried with a sad face: "Master, slave, slave, wrong." ”

"Hmph, your current cultivation is no more than the five grades of a martial artist, if you want to walk the rivers and lakes with this!! how about Fang Zhen, Grandmaster!

Ye Xiu covered his mouth with his hand, looked at Liu Han in surprise, and asked cautiously: "Who is so capable?

Liu Han nodded heavily, sighed and said: "The matter in Yangzhou is very complicated, and there are still dead people, and there are more and more forces involved in it, if you don't pay attention to it, you have to leave your life here." ”

"Yes, the slave knows. Ye Xiu said, flattering and coquettish: "Master, don't be angry, the slave will definitely cultivate diligently in the future." ”

"Later!" Liu Han stared at her: "Do you know what I've been doing for the past two months? I'm also practicing and retreating for two months!"

Ye Xiu lowered his head, and Liu Han asked again, "Do you still have the poison repelling pill I gave you?"

Ye Xiu hurriedly took out the pill and counted it and said, "There are two more." ”

Liu Han turned around and took out a bottle of pill and handed it to her: "During this time, you must be careful, you have been in Yangzhou for a long time, and if you don't make any moves, I'm afraid they should be suspicious." ”

Ye Xiu grinned: "Master, the slave has already thought of this, that Xia Mu is really cooperative, he showed up in Yangzhou ten days ago, and the slave took a picture with him, but let him escape." ”

Liu Han breathed a sigh of relief, if this Xia Mu has not shown up, Ye Xiu has been in Yangzhou for too long, and it is inevitable that he will show his flaws, and those guys in the yamen are all some of the best.

"Don't really go to get Xia Mu. Liu Han nodded slightly and reminded her again.

"The slave knows. Ye Xiu smiled, and Liu Han's face turned pale: "Start tonight, meditate and practice well, you see, how many pills have you used in this pill!"

Ye Xiu pursed her lips and was about to be coquettish, but looking at Liu Han's face, she didn't dare to say anything, so she obediently sat down in the corner, took a pill, and began to practice.

Liu Han himself went to bed, in fact, with his cultivation, it didn't matter if he didn't sleep for more than ten or twenty days.
