Within Wanhua City Residence.
Wisps of white smoke are wafting out of the brass incense burner, exuding a light and soothing aroma.
"You said something happened over there at Cao Ying?"
Lin Sheng sat on top, his eyes fell on Wang Dehai, and he frowned.
"That's right, sir, the fleets delivering goods have been robbed continuously during this period, and no one is alive. If this continues, I'm afraid Tingyue Pavilion's business will be severely affected."
Wang Dehai said truthfully below.
After receiving the news that the convoy was hijacked, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
If something hadn't happened at that time, he might have followed the convoy to Prefecture City. With the ruthlessness of those bandits, he would never be able to keep his body fat.
"Then Cao family sister and brother also thought of many ways, but it didn't work. I had no choice but to let me come to you."
"Where was the convoy robbed?"
Lin Sheng asked.
"This one is basically attacked halfway."
Wang Dehai quickly replied.
"Halfway?"
Hearing this, Lin Sheng frowned and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the mahogany table next to him.
"Where's the body? Did you bring it back?"
"Because a short time has passed since they were discovered, and the corpses have been eaten by wild beasts, but some parts are still intact. Now those corpses are placed in a separate courtyard at the Tingyue Pavilion."
Wang Dehai was stunned for a moment, but quickly answered.
"Master, do you want to take a look?"
Lin Sheng pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head slightly.
"No, you go back and tell Cao Ying that I want Secluded Cultivation to practice during this period. Don't deliver the goods yet. This matter will be dealt with after I leave the customs."
"Uh... Okay, I'll go back and tell Shopkeeper Cao right now."
Wang Dehai was a little surprised, but he didn't say much. He nodded and saluted Lin Sheng before turning around and leaving.
Watching Wang Dehai leave, Lin Sheng looked back.
"I didn't expect that Tingyue Pavilion would also be targeted."
Although I spent most of this time practicing hard, I also understood from the occasional conversations with my fellow disciples that the situation at Wanhua City is becoming increasingly tense.
Because of the 50,000-year-old beast mine in Yunshui Mountain, the recent conflicts between the major forces in Wanhua City have become more frequent, and many small and medium-sized forces in the city have also been affected. After all, most of these forces are dependent on a few large forces for survival.
Even some small and medium-sized forces that remain neutral can hardly stay out of such a torrent.
Therefore, Wanhua City's current situation is much more chaotic than in peacetime, but the situation in the city is generally relatively peaceful. After all, the disputes between the major forces are still concentrated in the middle and lower levels. The real high-level people have never ended up, and everything is still in the game.
Although he didn't pay too much attention to Cao Ying, he knew that Tingyue Pavilion was in the cosmetics business. Coming from Blue Star, he knew very well that women's money was undoubtedly the most profitable in the world. It was no wonder that there were thousands of taels of profit in just one month after opening.
The various powders produced by the Tingyue Pavilion are probably related to the insect breeding skills mastered by these two siblings.
Tingyue Pavilion's profit was much greater than he imagined, so he naturally couldn't give up.
Tingyue Pavilion has just opened and does not have much background. The profit of a thousand taels cannot attract any strong experts.
However, he did not intend to take action directly. After all, what really troubled him was the Phantom Demon Beast demon species hiding in the dark.
Although his strength is much improved now compared to before, he still feels unsure when facing this terrifying demon species Demon Beast.
So his idea is very simple, that is, everything will be decided after he breaks through.
After he breaks through Blood Circulation realm, his strength will undoubtedly be greatly improved. By that time, it wouldn't be a problem to face the demon again, and it could even be solved in one go.
As for the plundering bandits, in his opinion, it was just a matter of convenience.
After thinking about it, he had returned to Quiet Room and began to recuperate his mind in preparation for the next round of practice.
"What? He made us wait."
In the Tingyue Pavilion, Cao Luan's face was full of anger, and he shouted angrily.
"Sister, due to the previous unfavorable transportation, we finally postponed the delivery time, and now we are asked to wait. Prefecture City has customers from several other counties, and they will not wait for us all the time. We have finally managed to get through the channel. What if someone else skips it? What should we do!!?"
"Xiaoluan, don't be so impulsive. Since Young Master Lin said this, he has his own considerations. It doesn't hurt to wait for a while. I will send people to Prefecture City and other counties to notify them and let them wait for a while. There should be no problem."
Cao Ying frowned and looked at his younger brother, whose face was flushed with anger, and said helplessly.
She thought that after what happened last time, her brother would grow up, but she didn't expect that he would still be so restless.
"Sister, you are just too soft-hearted and trust others too easily. You gave most of the profits to that Lin Sheng before, but as a result, you have seen it now. People are not even interested in coming over to take a look."
Seeing that his sister was still speaking for others, Cao Luan felt even more angry.
"Okay, stop talking. The situation in the city is not as good as before. During this period, we should cultivate the colorful insects. When the matter is resolved, there will be enough supply of goods."
Cao Ying reached out and patted his brother on the shoulder.
"As for you, just practice hard. When you can break through Blood Circulation, or even Bone Transformation realm, we don't need to rely on others..."
Hearing this, Cao Luan moved his mouth, but said nothing more. He turned around and left the room, ran to the yard and started practicing.
Time passed, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period of time, Tingyue Pavilion did not send out a fleet, but only peddled among Wanhua City.
Although the profit is much worse than before, it can still maintain daily expenses.
Wanhua City In the southern district compound.
The red figure kept flashing and moving, turning into a red shadow as it moved, causing gusts of cold wind in the courtyard.
At this time, he did not activate the mental ape talent, he just maintained the state of entering Three-eyed Spirit Monkey.
In this state, practicing Ape Fetus Technique can maximize efficiency.
The speed of the red figure in the yard is getting faster and faster, and the sound of the whistling wind is getting louder and louder.
However, the next moment, the figure suddenly stopped and stood in the middle of the yard.
Lin Sheng frowned, with a hint of irritation on his face.
"It's even worse!!"
He exhaled heavily, shook his head slightly, and whispered in a deep voice.
Before Secluded Cultivation this time, he was only one step away from a complete breakthrough. Unexpectedly, another ten days had passed. Although he could feel his own economy, he still failed to pierce this layer of window paper.
I always feel that I am a little bit worse. This feeling is extremely unpleasant, as if there is a breath of bad breath that has been held in my heart and is difficult to spit out.
"Is it possible that we have to wait a few more days?"
He thought in his mind that in the past ten days, he had borrowed another five thousand taels of silver from Zhao Kongfang. In addition to mining and buying a batch of Star Dew Grass, he also spent a high price to purchase a treasure pill that would help break through the Blood Circulation bottleneck.
It's just a pity that after taking this treasure pill, it still doesn't have much effect.
"I'm only one step away. It won't take long even if I work hard."
He shook his head slightly to suppress the irritable thoughts in his heart.
He took out a Star Dew Grass plant from the wooden box prepared in advance and put it into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it directly.
A familiar biting chill soon surged through his body, and his consciousness cleared.
"Turn on talent: Mind Monkey."
As soon as he thought about it, he had activated the mental ape talent, and pain as strong as a wave swept over him instantly.
Although he had adapted many times, he had already gained some adaptability to the intense pain at this time.
The two palms squeezed with a crunching sound, and bone spurs drilled out of the body all over the body.
The eyebrows also began to beat slowly, and Vertical Eye opened little by little.
At the same time, his heart has been filled with violence and madness, but with the effect of Star Dew Grass, he can still maintain a little clarity in such violent emotions.
Perhaps because of that Blood Dragon Fruit, every time I turn on the mental ape talent, I will be filled with violent and crazy emotions.
And he was also trying to suppress these violent and crazy emotions little by little.
But suddenly he seemed to think of something.
Even though he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, he started to activate Vital Blood in his body to practice Ape Fetus Technique.
Although the mental ape talent has been activated many times, it has never been practiced under such circumstances.
At this moment, he suddenly came up with this idea on a whim, and he planned to try it out.
After all, Ape Fetus Technique is essentially a magic skill, derived from the real skill called Six Intent Ape Demon Heart Sutra.
Since it is a magic skill, there may be some kind of spark intertwined with this mutated mental ape talent.
He forcibly suppressed the violent madness in his heart, and with a little clarity, he induced Vital Blood to cooperate with the breathing method, and rushed toward the bottleneck that was still unable to break through even though there was only a thin layer left.
Under his tug, the whole body Vital Blood was boiling, like a heavy hammer hitting the bottleneck that restricted his own Vital Blood qualitative transformation.
Bang... bang... bang...
Silent muffled sounds resounded in his consciousness, and he clearly felt the bottleneck restraining him, being constantly trembled and deformed by the heavy hammer.
However, it is still tenacious. No matter how hard he knocks and hits, he can't really break through this bottleneck.
Time passed quickly, more than ten breaths passed, and there was not much left before his limit.
Although the bottleneck deformed more and more violently, it still could not be broken through.
This also made the violent emotions in his heart grow stronger, and actually completely suppressed the little Qingming in an instant.
In an instant, his eyes were bloodshot, and both eyes turned blood red. The expression on his face was ferocious, Distortion, and the Vertical Eye between his eyebrows also widened, and there was even a hint of madness.
At this time, he had forgotten to use Star Dew Grass to suppress the demonic nature in his heart.
The whole person has fallen into complete madness like when he first turned on the mental ape talent, but he still continues to obsessively break through the bottleneck.
At this moment, Vital Blood in his body had fallen into an unprecedented agitation and rage, which was several times more intense than before.
Even his strong body seemed to be unable to withstand this crazy Vital Blood agitation, and traces of bright red blood began to appear on his body.
Finally, Vital Blood's restlessness seemed to have reached a certain critical point, and he watched as the bottleneck that restricted his own transformation was hit hard.
This time, a thunderous explosion came from his body.
The bottleneck that was as tough as brown sugar was finally broken through and torn into pieces.
The boiling and manic Vital Blood seemed to be released and integrated into his body.
What followed was a series of bone crunching sounds, and his already tall and strong body began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It quickly expanded.
The sound of the brittle bones also turned from rapid to gentle, and it was at this moment that he reached his limit.
The bone spurs all over his body slowly poured into his body, and his wide-open vertical eyes closed little by little until they were completely closed and disappeared.
"Huh... huh..."
Lin Sheng gasped for air and lay facelessly on the ground, his whole body shaped like a big character.
His whole body was already wet with sweat, and his mind and body were indescribably tired.
But he felt better than ever before, because the bad breath he had been holding in his heart finally came out at this moment.
He... broke through...
Crunch!
Clenching my palms, I felt an unprecedented powerful force, and my body felt indescribably full, relaxed, and comfortable.
On the contrary, there is a sharp pain in consciousness that has not completely dissipated.
Without time to experience it too much, he picked up a Star Dew Grass plant from the side, pulled off a few leaves, and fell asleep on the spot without caring about refining the cold poison.
This sleep didn't last long, but after more than half an hour, he had already woken up.
Although I am still a little tired mentally, I am undoubtedly much better than before.
But what pleased him the most was the successful breakthrough to Blood Circulation realm.
This has been his goal since he first came to this world.
Blood Circulation Practitioner, no matter where he goes, he is already considered a master.
In a county town, he could be regarded as a top expert.
Once upon a time, there was a huge Town Mountain Tower in Lin'an County City, and its owner was only in this First Realm world.
"Let me see how much improvement it has brought after entering Blood Circulation realm..."
He was already experimenting in the courtyard while murmuring. Fortunately, the courtyard was quite wide, so a simple experiment was passable.
After a moment, he stopped.
"The biggest improvement is in strength and speed, which is normal. After all, Ape Fetus Technique is good at explosives. However, in addition, the endurance and physical fitness have also been greatly improved."
He thought to himself as he carefully understood the results of the experiment just now.
Blood Circulation realm This First Realm world will greatly improve the physical fitness of warriors, which is far beyond what the muscle-strengthening warriors can compare with.
"Now, my speed power is stronger than when I activated the Ape Fetus Transformation secret skill before... No wonder Blood Circulation can crush forged tendons. This kind of improvement is basically all-round, and it has basically erased all possible weaknesses in it."
If the warriors before Blood Circulation focused on strength, speed, and defense, there was a big gap between them. However, once they broke through the bloody realm, their shortcomings in all aspects could be greatly compensated.
Even Blood Circulation Practitioner on the power side is not too weak in speed and defense, and the same is true for the speed and defense sides.
After testing these, he lowered his head and looked at his chest.
Now that he has broken through a big realm again, can he still surprise himself...
