It was clearly early spring, the season when all things grow, but within one day the temperature suddenly dropped and snow fell for miles.

But half a day later, the sky was filled with wind and snow.

The strange vision of ice and snow retreated as silently as it had come.

Many residents of Quanzhou City had just put on thick cotton-padded jackets, but had to take them off again.

People looked at each other in bewilderment, muttering that the weather was so weird and it was rare to see such a thing in a century.

The independent cultivators in Lingzhu Market were also puzzled by this. Many experienced elders even began to read ancient books, hoping to find the corresponding meaning of the strange celestial phenomena in Tianqi's history.

At first, the attention of the wandering cultivators in Lingzhufang City was still on the short-lived strange phenomenon.

With the sudden arrival of several important figures in Lingzhu Market, the attention of the independent cultivators was diverted again.

In the early morning of the second day when the wind and snow stopped.

The melting of the snow last night caused a wild fog to surge outside the bamboo forest.

The imperial guards in golden armor stopped outside Lingzhu Market early, and a man and a woman walked out of the team as if they were the leaders.

Accompanying the imperial guards was a team of Quanzhou City Lord's guards wearing black armor, led by Lord Wen Xi, who were stationed outside the market town together with the imperial guards.

Wen Xi and the two military commanders looked at each other, and then he took his daughter Wen Hongzhu and walked with the two military commanders into Lingzhu Market.

Although Lingzhufang City has a special status in Quanzhou and is a gathering place for monks, it is still extremely rare for so many big figures to appear at the same time.

The wandering cultivators looked at the imperial guards and royal guards gathered outside the market town and thought they were here to capture some wanted criminal.

It was not until they saw Lord Wen and his three companions walking towards the northeast side of Lingzhu Market, towards the Qingzhu Courtyard in the bamboo forest, that the wandering cultivators woke up from their dreams and understood the intentions of these important figures.

Because there lived a young man named Kong Ju in the Green Bamboo Courtyard.

He has a well-known title in Wudong, Master Bingpo.

Even so, the independent cultivators in the market town were still somewhat confused.

"This is quite a grand occasion. If you don't know, you might think that a prince from the royal family has come to our Lingzhu Market."

"Although Master Bingpo is well-known, he is only a junior after all. What is the reason that made Lord Wen come to visit him in person?"

"Junior? Rumor has it that Kong Ju is the first disciple of the leader of the largest sect in Wudong. His status is not lower than that of the prince. Being more formal can show the etiquette of our Tianqi."

"You know a lot, so tell me, why did Lord Wen and the two commanders of the Imperial Guard come to our market to visit Master Bingpo?"

"How should I know?"

The monks all had their own guesses, but no one dared to set foot in the bamboo forest of the green bamboo courtyard again.

As everyone knows, the maidservant in the Taiguang realm beside Kong Ju has a bad temper and is far from being as easy-going as Kong Ju.

During this period, almost everyone who wanted to visit Kong Ju was turned away by her.

If she encounters a casual cultivator who doesn't know his place and manners, the maid will not show any mercy. She is notorious in Lingzhufang City.

This time, the Lord of Wen Mansion came with his daughter and the commander of the imperial guards followed them, so no one dared to go to the Qingzhu Courtyard to bring bad luck.

Everyone could only watch the four people leave, and no one dared to step into the Green Bamboo Courtyard.

Amidst the outside world's discussions.

Kong Ju had sensed something as soon as he heard the lord of the mansion and his visitors enter the Lingzhu Market, so he stood at the door with his father-in-law Qiaoqiao to greet them.

He had just returned last night, so he washed himself and changed into dry clothes. He wore a white undershirt inside and a light green round-necked robe outside, with a few green crystals dotted around his waist.

This kind of clothing is the favorite style of the rich young men in Tianqi.

This set of clothes is light in color, and when worn on Kong Ju, it further highlights her already extraordinary temperament, and her every move exudes a refined elegance.

Kong Ju didn't care much about what he wore. This set of clothes was bought by Zai Fu Qiaoqiao when he was in seclusion, and he had several more sets in the room.

According to her, her status as a young master is noble, and he holds a first-class position both in Wudong and Gujiang.

I can no longer just put on a set of black or white clothes like I usually do and let those guys in Tianqi look down on me.

Kong Ju thought that there would be guests coming today, so he did not refuse.

But standing at the door, feeling the restraint of the collar and waist, Kong Ju, who was used to wearing loose clothes, felt a little uncomfortable. He loosened his collar and sighed, "My long gowns are still loose."

While waiting, Zai Fu Qiaoqiao, who was standing behind Kong Ju, never took his eyes away from his back, with a strange look in his eyes.

Last night Kong Ju returned riding the Dapeng, and when Zaifu Qiaoqiao saw him for the first time, he almost didn't recognize him.

If it weren't for the mysterious sense in her own soul that confirmed that the person in front of her was Kong Ju, she would have almost taken action.

After this retreat, Kong Ju was completely transformed.

His appearance and temperament were completely changed. When Zai Fu Qiaoqiao saw Kong Ju's handsome features and his elegant and peaceful gestures for the first time, she couldn't bear to take her eyes away.

She had never seen such a person either in Gujiang or Tianqi.

"He is worthy of being a descendant of the Xianyu family." Zai Fu Qiaoqiao secretly linked Kong Ju's temperament to the Xianyu family's bloodline. In her opinion, only the most noble bloodline in Gujiang, the Xianyu family, could give birth to a descendant with such appearance.

Now, there is an elusive sense of emptiness in the coldness and silence.

Even though he was standing right in front of her, she found it difficult to lock onto Kong Ju, as if her master might disappear from her perception if she blinked.

Although he had only broken through to the Taiguang stage, the pressure he brought to Zaifu Qiaoqiao was no less than that of the tribal leaders in Gujiang.

Zai Fu Qiaoqiao suspected that if Kong Ju wanted to defeat him, he might not be able to use even three moves.

"Young Master is getting stronger and stronger!" Zai Fuqiao looked at Kong Ju's slender back with a smile in his eyes.

She became more confident that Kong Ju would return to Gujiang in the future and seize the position of the chief of the Jinming tribe from the current chief.

With Kong Ju's growth rate, she dared to conclude that within ten years, she would be able to face the chief of the Jinming tribe head-on.

In between the two people, each had their own thoughts.

Wen Xi and his daughter, as well as the two generals Niu Fan and Lan Chi, have already stepped onto the bluestone paved slabs and entered the bamboo forest where the Qingzhu courtyard is located.

Kong Ju showed a polite smile on his face and went to greet him with his father-in-law Qiaoqiao.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Master Wen, Miss Wen, Commander Niu, Commander Lan, it's been a long time."

When the two sides meet, there is naturally some greetings.

However, when the four saw Kong Ju's current appearance, they all had looks of surprise on their faces, just like Zaifu Qiaoqiao when he first saw him.

Especially Wen Hongzhu, after looking Kong Ju up and down, a strange light flashed in her pupils.

"Congratulations, young friend Kong, on your great progress." Wen Xi's face was also moved. Feeling the aura of Kong Ju in front of him, that unfathomable ethereal feeling made the knowledgeable Lord Wen couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your breakthrough this time is really a complete transformation."

All of Kong Ju's changes were brought about by his earth-level Taoist foundation. Upon hearing this, he could only smile and remain silent.

Niu Fan had long given up the idea of ​​fighting Kong Ju. Now that Kong Ju's cultivation had improved, he would not fight him. While he was amazed, he secretly winked at Kong Ju and teased him, "Haha, Mr. Kong, you are more handsome than the prince. Be careful not to be noticed by a certain princess when you go to the imperial city."

Lan Chi, on the other hand, knew the purpose of this trip. After taking a few more glances at Kong Ju's face, he congratulated generously, "Congratulations to Master Bingpo on his great progress in cultivation. Niu Fan and I are here on behalf of the Imperial Guards to congratulate you and bring a small gift."

Wen Xi and his daughter also sent gifts.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Please come in." Kong Ju took the gift, but did not open it out of courtesy. After handing it to Zai Fu Qiaoqiao behind him, he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation towards the Green Bamboo Courtyard.

The guests were seated in the small pavilion in the backyard, and of course, the fragrant top-grade Lingcha and the famous Qingzhu wine from Lingzhufang City were indispensable.

Except for Congyun who was still meditating in the house, almost everyone Kong Ju knew in Quanzhou was sitting in this courtyard.

The prime minister Qiaoqiao was busy running around, serving tea and water.

She has completely adapted to her identity and does not feel anything wrong when doing these things.

The purpose of this trip of four people was actually to congratulate Kong Ju on his breakthrough.

The news of his retreat had already been brought to Quanzhou by Wen Hongzhu.

Kong Ju also knew the purpose of the four people. The two sides had a pleasant conversation, and the topic they talked about revolved around two points.

It is nothing more than the movements of Wu Xiu and the strange phenomenon of flying snow that appeared in Quanzhou in recent days.

Lan Chi sat next to Niu Fan and looked at Kong Ju's face for a few more times, then told him what had happened in the past few months.

"This time, those witches from Gujiang hit a wall and injured Zhu Wenyuan, the treasure of Tianquan Sword Sect."

"During the past few months when Master Kong was in seclusion, the Tianquan Sword Sect sent a large number of experts to cooperate with the garrisons from various places to encircle and suppress the witch cultivators in Gujiang. They achieved great results and killed more than a dozen ascending witch cultivators."

"Except for the witch cultivator at the Soul Transformation level, who is hard to find, the other witch cultivators who escaped have also gone into hiding. We in Quanzhou have been quiet for half a year, and we are finally at peace."

After Niu Fan took a sip of wine, he cursed in a muffled voice: "The Tianquan Sword Sect captured a person alive, saying that this was a group of witches and cultivators that appeared in Tianqi, and they were from the Zhuyin tribe."

"Damn it, they dare to show off their power in Tianqi. Once we reach Gujiang, we will wipe them out sooner or later."

Kong Ju listened to the news from the two commanders while playing with a small wine glass in his hand. He glanced at the two commanders Niu Fan and Lan Chi and reminded them, "If we don't uproot them, it will be a hidden danger. The two commanders should not let down their guard and be careful."

"Mr. Kong is right." Wen Xi nodded, with a look of worry between his brows.

"During this round of encirclement and suppression, we never saw the Soul Transformation Witch Cultivator from beginning to end. If he wanted to hide at his level, even the Palm Life Mage would find it difficult to dig him out."

"We are in the light, and they are in the dark. It's too passive."

"A soul-transforming witch cultivator is indeed difficult to kill." Kong Ju understood how powerful a soul-transforming witch cultivator was. He nodded in agreement, with a look of vigilance in his eyes.

As long as the Gujiang witch is not eliminated, he will be the most dangerous one.

The four people present were from the Tianqi Dynasty, and dealing with Wu Xiu was simply their duty.

However, he was on the wanted list of the Zhuyin tribe.

"The situation is so tense now that the Gujiang witch cultivator doesn't dare to come out. It's safe for now."

"Once I get the chance to go to Chaodi Ancient City, I will leave Tianqi and let that guy play here by himself.
