Wanhua City Residence.
Lin Sheng pinched his brows to relieve the mental fatigue caused by opening the mental ape talent.
Although taking a large amount of Star Worm has reduced this mental fatigue, it is only a reduction.
Especially the appearance of Phantom Demon Beast cast a shadow over his heart.
"What a haunting thing..."
He murmured softly.
He recalled the monster in the black mist he had just seen on the low mountain outside the city.
If Vertical Eye had not been opened between the eyebrows, he would not have been able to detect the approach of Phantom Demon Beast.
Obviously, after the Vertical Eye between the eyebrows is turned on, his perception can be improved a lot.
"No, it's not quite accurate to use perception. To be more precise, it should be the perception of malice."
"It's like the Danger Sense talent of adult Jade Moth, but after it is turned on, Vertical Eye can clearly sense the malice emanating from it."
"This Phantom Demon Beast demon seed should be the one from last time. After all, Phantom Demon Beast was sealed by Blood Demon Great Array. It is impossible to breed demon seeds without limit and pass through the blockade of the formation."
Although he didn't understand how Phantom Demon Beast could escape under the encirclement and suppression by Linjiang Prefecture, he knew very well that he couldn't sit still and wait for death, because he had already felt deep malice from that Phantom Demon Beast in the past.
But just now Phantom Demon Beast did not choose to approach, but left directly. Obviously, even if he escaped from the master Linjiang Prefecture, his condition was not good. It was even much weaker than the one he had seen when he was with Yellow Dog.
Compared with before, not only has my cultivation level improved, but my strength has also been greatly improved by incorporating the powerful Spirit Beast like Three-eyed Spirit Monkey into my body.
"So after the demon seed noticed this, it already knew that it couldn't take him down in its current state, so after a little hesitation, it left quickly."
After some deductions, Lin Sheng quickly guessed the reason why Phantom Demon Beast left.
Some of the nervousness was relaxed at this moment. Obviously, although this demon escaped from the Linjiang Prefecture master, it was definitely seriously injured. It is not that easy to recover, and in Wanhua City the master is not Few, and it is not far from Linjiang Prefecture city. This Phantom Demon Beast does not dare to act recklessly here. Even if it can absorb the living things Flesh to recover, it will definitely be cautious and constrained.
"Strength, we still have to speed up the improvement of strength."
Lin Sheng felt a little more urgent about improving his strength.
Of course, he soon had people spread the news that the Phantom Demon Beast demon species was still there. If Linjiang Prefecture caught his attention, he would naturally search for the demon species again and destroy it.
Of course, there is actually an easier way to solve this matter.
That is to directly inform Qi Ning of the matter through the channel of Dark Star. It is naturally not difficult to solve this demonic species with the strength of Qi Ning.
However, Qi Ning, as the senior executive of Linjiang Prefecture Dark Star organization, is naturally busy with affairs on weekdays. It's impossible to follow him all the time, so Phantom Demon Beast might show up again.
And there is another point, that is, this endless demon species, Lin Sheng really wants to crush it with his own hands... and crush it.
Suppressing his thoughts, he began to realize the feeling of unlocking the mental ape talent this time.
It has been determined that the effect of Star Worm is pretty good, and it can weaken the side effects to a certain extent. After persisting for ten breaths this time, he also discovered that Vertical Eye can detect malicious functions.
And he probably also realized that the Vertical Eye between the eyebrows seems to have more than this ability, there should be other special features, but he has yet to discover it himself.
"It's just that the consumption of this Star Worm is a bit too big." His eyes fell on the dilapidated wooden box. The Star Worm inside was originally full, but now only about half of it was left.
It seems that it is only enough for him to activate it once. Using Star Worm can extend the activation time of the talent and also reduce the side effects. If there is enough supply of Star Worm, you can adapt to the mental ape talent faster.
Thinking of this, he had a headache. The value of this Star Worm is not low. One tael costs nearly a hundred taels of silver. It is much more expensive than the average Spirit Beast meat.
In the wooden box brought from Tianxiang Tower, Star Worm weighs about three kilograms, and its value is already around 3,000 taels of silver.
When I think of this, Lin Sheng feels like money is flowing like water, and I really can't help but spend it.
During this period, he spent a huge amount of the nearly 20,000 taels of silver he had left, and now only less than half of it is left.
"There are also birds Spirit Beast. If I want to buy the suitable bird Strange Beast through the Myriad Beasts Hall's channel, I don't know how long it will take. It seems I have to find a way on my own..."
He thought about it and soon fell into practice again.
Time passed quickly, and another half month passed.
In Residence, the veins on Lin Sheng's whole body are congested and bulging like little green snakes.
He was breathing very heavily, and every time he exhaled or inhaled, he exhaled streams of almost substantive white air.
In front of him was an empty delicate porcelain vase.
After a while, there was another heavy breath, Lin Sheng opened his eyes, a flash of blood in his eyes, and a trace of anger on his face, but it disappeared soon, and his face returned to calm.
"This Ape Fetus Technique is a magic skill after all. It does have an impact on people's nature. Especially when you practice it to a deep level, it will arouse violent emotions in people's hearts at every turn."
"This is somewhat similar to the Three-eyed Spirit Monkey that entered the body. No wonder they make rapid progress in practice. They are all the same."
Lin Sheng said to himself.
After this period of practice, he has already felt the edge of a breakthrough. Now he is only one opportunity away from the breakthrough. He is confident that he can successfully enter Blood Circulation realm in less than a month.
He raised his palm, and a faint green light appeared on his index and middle fingers.
Then he pointed at the small porcelain bottle in front of him. When he was still a few inches away from the small porcelain bottle, he heard a popping sound and the small porcelain bottle broke into pieces.
"Qingniao Chasing Star Finger has finally entered the second floor."
There was a smile on his face, and his practice plan included handling some trivial matters during the day, such as cultivating Strange Beast or reporting to the Seven Forms Sect.
Then came the training of Qingniao Chasing Star Finger and Three Corpses Soul Severing Palm, and all the time at night was used to practice Ape Fetus Technique. Because of the powerful physical bonus of Strange Beast, plus the endurance bonus, he could basically go without sleep for a week without much impact.
"The effect of this Blood Qi Pill is indeed good. No wonder I dare to sell it for eight hundred taels of silver each."
The empty small porcelain bottle in front of him was the Blood Qi Pill he bought from Wanhua City's largest drug store. It was said to have a good effect on promoting breakthroughs in Blood Circulation realm. He bought one with the intention of giving it a try. As a result, it did have some effects after practicing.
"It's just a pity that the money is running out."
In half a month, in addition to purchasing elixirs and various supplies, he also purchased a batch of Star Worm. As a result, his savings were basically consumed.
"It seems I have to find a way to make money again..."
Shaking his head slightly, Lin Sheng breathed out.
In addition to the improvement in cultivation, Xin Yuan's talent has been able to last for thirteen breaths using Star Worm, which is also an improvement.
"Where should I start if I just want to make money?"
While thinking in his mind, possibilities flashed through his mind.
The simplest Dark Star organization accepts the task, and you can exchange your merits for money.
In addition, you can also start from the Seven Forms Sect. Seven Forms Sect also has some tasks and errands that disciples can take and exchange for money. The difficulty of the tasks is much lower than that of Dark Star organization. Of course, the rewards are also much lower. It is better to be safe.
In addition to these two aspects, there is another one that can access Imperial Court's wanted list, which is the second red and black list mentioned by Yellow Dog at that time.
The people on Red List are all master murderers with evil reputations throughout Northern Yan country.
Among them, those with the lowest cultivation level are all masters who have reached Bone Transformation realm, and there are also many Divine Form realm. In terms of Imperial Court, for these The rewards for the criminals on Red List are extremely generous. Not to mention killing the Red List murderer, as long as the location information of the Red List murderer is provided and confirmed to be true, you can get a large bounty.
As for Black List, it is much different. Basically, it is officially released by Prefecture City.
However, those who have taken Black List are basically not weak in strength, and are not comparable to ordinary warriors of the same level.
After all, how could an ordinary person escape if he is wanted by the government?
When he came to this Wanhua City, he often heard people mention the murderers on Black List. The rewards for these murderers were also quite generous, starting with ten thousand taels of silver.
For this reason, there are knife hunters in the Prefecture City world who make a living by intercepting Imperial Court bounties and getting generous rewards. There are also many pretentious young talents who offer high bounties for the sake of it., in order to show their own strength, they will basically collect some wanted criminals on Black List, but those who can be listed on Black List, how can they be ordinary people, basically most of them do not get any benefits, but throw away their lives in vain.
Lin Sheng also had the idea of finding some Black List wanted criminals to collect rewards, but he thought that most of these people's whereabouts were secretive. Regardless of their strength, just trying to find them would be troublesome. In comparison, Dark Star's mission was more efficient.
While thinking in his mind, he had already stood up and pushed open the door.
When I came to the front yard, I saw Wang Dehai sitting at the stone table in the yard, talking to Xiao Shi with a glowing face.
"What's wrong? Why do you have time to come here today?"
Lin Sheng had a smile on his face and spoke lightly.
"Master!"
When Wang Dehai and Xiao Shi saw Lin Sheng coming out, they quickly stood up and shouted respectfully.
"What's the matter with coming here this time?"
Lin Sheng waved his hand and his eyes fell on Wang Dehai.
Wang Dehai is a smooth and sophisticated person, and his mind is not on martial arts practice. Originally, he planned to set up a shop and let Wang Dehai take care of it.
But with Cao Ying there, he simply asked Wang Dehai to come over and help. It was a busy time when the store over there was opening, so Wang Dehai should have come over at this time because something happened.
"Sir, I came here this time because Shopkeeper Cao asked me to deliver this month's share."
"Split?"
Lin Sheng was stunned.
"Yes, it will be divided into a total of 2,110 taels. This is a treasure note."
While saying this, Wang Dehai took out a few treasure notes from his arms and handed them to Lin Sheng.
Looking at the two large-denomination banknotes with a face value of one thousand taels and a small-denomination banknote with a face value of one hundred taels in his hands, Lin Sheng felt quite unreal.
If I remember correctly, the shop Cao Ying has only been open for just over a month. How can I get him more than 2,000 taels directly?
As if he saw what Lin Sheng was thinking, Wang Dehai straightened his chest and explained with a glowing face.
"The shopkeeper Cao Ying has a wide range of connections, and he also has many connections in this Wanhua City. In addition, with the background of Mr. Seven Forms Sect, he made several big deals as soon as he opened, so we have such a harvest."
"In addition, sir, I have calculated it privately. Excluding daily expenses, the profit for this month should be about three thousand taels. The income I brought this time accounted for 70% of the profit."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng rubbed the smooth paper surface of the banknote with his fingers and frowned slightly.
He could clearly remember that at that time he promised Cao Ying to make an offering, and the share was only 20%. Unexpectedly, he had given 70% in just the first month.
"Shopkeeper Cao also asked me to give the young master a message. He said that the young master is in a critical moment now. The young master can use the money for emergencies first. Don't worry about anything else." Wang Dehai seemed to have remembered something and added another sentence.
"Yes, he is indeed a good businessman. No wonder he was able to run a prosperous business in the city before."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng had a smile on his face, but he didn't refuse.
Since the other party takes the initiative to show kindness, why bother to refuse.
Although more than 2,000 taels of silver is nothing to him now, you must know that this is just a newly opened store, and he has never thought of being able to make such a huge profit before.
Cao family had previously run several shops in the city and had such a foundation. It was not impossible for Cao Ying to make a comeback using Cao Ying's methods, but it was indeed much faster than he originally expected.
Although the younger brother Cao family is a fool, the elder sister Cao Ying does have some skills. Thinking of this, Lin Sheng also attaches great importance to this business that she didn't care about at first.
If you manage it properly in the future, it will also be a good income, and it is better than stability.
He knew that most of the direct disciples in the Seven Forms Sect basically had their own properties in the city, otherwise they would not be able to support their daily practice expenses.
"Go back and tell Cao Ying. If you have any trouble, just let me know."
Lin Sheng's eyes fell on Wang Dehai, and he thrust the one hundred taels of treasure notes into his hand.
"I understand, sir."
Wang Dehai grabbed the treasure note and nodded quickly in response, with an even bigger smile on his face.
The other side.
Wanhua City, Ginkgo Street, Tingyue Tower.
"Sister, I have only earned less than 3,000 taels of silver this month. If you gave all that money to Lin Sheng, wouldn't we have suffered a big loss? The price we agreed on before was 20%."
Cao Luan was looking at his sister and said with complaint.
"And it's not like we have already found out that although Lin Sheng is a direct disciple among the Seven Forms Sect, Bloodline's potential evaluation is only inferior."
Da da da...
At this time, Cao Ying was fiddling with the abacus in her hand. The abacus was moving quickly and calculating something. When she heard Cao Luan's words, she said it without raising her head.
"Xiaoluan, although Young Master Lin's Bloodline's evaluation is not high, in many cases you can't just look at Bloodline's. I believe that Young Master Lin's achievements will not be worse than others."
She stopped her movements, looked at her brother, and said seriously
"If many people don't invest when they are in their prime, the opportunity will quickly disappear until they are out of reach..."
